The Jesse Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Friday.
It is an ask doctor Jesse Friday, and I am so excited to be here.
The week is almost over. Your questions are incredible.
We're gonna talk more about you have a bunch of questions about heg Seth. We'll discuss that border patrol. Should they be allowed to fire upon illegals? Ooh, that's spicy. What are my thoughts on homeschooling? When was America at its best? At what point in history? My favorite military commanders of all time?
These might be the greatest questions ever.
It's going to be a magnificent day on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. I want to begin right here because it's still majorly in the news, and it is the fight that's right in front of us right now. The confirm Pete Hegseth and I have a bunch of emails. Dear Lady Fingers, it's not very nice. How about a guy named Jesse Kelly for sec deaf? Okay, guy, says Jesse. If I support Pete Hegseeth, but if the low TGP doesn't confirm him, I'd love to see Lieutenant Colonel Stuart.
Scheller in that role, so on and so forth.
He's that brave marine who blew the whistle on all the garbage in Afghanistan. Okay, okay, I got a bunch of stuff like that. And Pete heg sass out there, not backing off, and Trump, to his credit, is now getting public with his backing of him.
Here was Pete.
You fight, You go do tough things in tough places on behalf of your country, and sometimes that changes.
You a little bit. And by the grace of God and my Lord is savor, I had an opportunity to come on up out of it and do great things with great veterans, organizations that fought for vets, that fought for reform at the VA and for war fighters and at the Fox.
News channel to advocate for those various causes. And I'm proud of what I fought for. I'm not going to back down from then one bit.
I will answer all of these senators questions, but this will not be a process tried in media. Okay, how much do you know about the story of Ernan Cortes er non Cortez. We've talked about him before, so if you've listened at length, you know about Ernan Cortes, and we're not going to do a ton of history here, but Ernan Cortes, his conquest of the Aztecs is one of the great stories.
In the history of mankind.
I realize how long the span of history is and how many stories those are. But wow, you want to talk about guts. This guy was just an adventurer, a Spanish adventurer. And what he goes through in Mexico, making peace with going to war with trees and violence, the wars of a human sacrifice of his men. He almost died so many times. The story of her non Cortes conquering the as Texts.
If you don't know about it, go read about it.
And if you the first book you put up you pick up paints her non Cortes as the devil and the as Texts is the naratives, then burn that book in your backyard and go pick up a different book. It's one of the great stories in history. Honestly, I've thought about this. Maybe one day I will do it, doing a multi part series on or non Cortes in his conquests, But I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna go sorry, you're not gonna get all the spicy stuff, but I'll give you one of the great parts of it.
And there's so many great parts of it, so many, but one of the great parts of it is this Cortes. You see, he was in Cuba at the time. The Spanish were in Cuba at the time. And remember this is ancient times as far as we're concerned.
Here mech.
Was the wild, wild wilderness people at Mexico, Central America. People had ventured, Explorers had ventured into Mexico, and most of them never came back. And the ones who did come back brought back stories that you would tell around the campfire as a kid, human sacrifice, natives going crazy, whooping and hollering, cutting people's hearts out as they're still breathing, as those kind of stories. And Ernan Cortes in search of fame and glory. I don't want to make him
seem like some kind of a saint. Ernan Cortes starts to lobby the Cuban governor. Spanish guy, Hey, can I have some men and some horses, just a couple hundred of them. I want to go explore that place. Governor gives him permission. Sure, sure, go ahead Cortez, and then the governor. There there's a lot, a lot of soap opera drama with this story. Then the governor decides against it, decides, you know what this Cortes has ticked me off. I'm
rescinding the order. Cortes finds out the order has been rescinded. The messenger who's supposed to bring the order to Cortes gets murdered by somebody and they find him in a ditch, so the letter never got delivered. Cortes knows the governor is coming. He quickly releases the ropes of the ships and starts taking off. It is said the story goes the governor runs down to the docks and is shouting at Cortes as Cortes is sailing off. This is true story.
And then Cortes gets over to Mexico. Well, I'm going to classify all this as Mexico, right, and I believe it was actually Mexico, but it may have been Central America somewhere. But he's over in that part of the world where the Mayans are and the Aztecs are in all this violence. Remember, this is unsettled wild territory, and he's not marching in with an army of ten thousand foot soldiers, a few hundred dudes. Cortes, Cortes, he gets there,
they get off the boats. Imagine what that feeling is like. You are in hostile territory. You're getting off on the beach, in a hostile area. And all you've heard about her stories about guys getting their hearts cut out while they're still alive in this area, you are in danger. And you know what Cortes does. He burns the boats, all
those boats, all those ships that brought them there. I think he left one if I remember right, But all those ships that brought them there, he lit them on fire and burnt them in front of his men.
Why because he.
Knew the danger, He knew the fear, and more than anything, he knew that sometimes every now and then you don't want to make a habit of it. Every now and then, you must, in the interest of winning, eliminate any kind.
Of a fallback plan.
We win or we die. Burn the boats. There is no going back. This is the only place we're gonna be. We conquer and fight our way through this stuff, or we are never going home again. You see the boats, boys, they're on fire, I suggest you steal yourselves for some hard times, and hard times they most definitely had you. Remember you remember BK or our friend of the show World News with BK, the former Air Force PJ, you know, one of those specops types. Remember what he said last
time I had him on. I was asking about the guys who make it through sealed training and training and things like that. Remember what BK said, the guys who fail. He said, guys will reach out and they'll tell him, Hey, I was thinking about becoming a seal or if that doesn't work out, you know, going into accounting, and BK basically said, yeah, you're not gonna make it. The guys who make it through, they have the mentality. There is no fallback plan. The votes have been burnt. There's no
second job. I'm here, I will die or I will make it through. We already had Trump's biggest and most important appointment, his Attorney General, Matt Gets. It was already shot down and destroyed by the United States Senate. Right now, there is a war between you and Trump, well, you and Trump on the same side and the Republicans in the United States Senate, and battle number one goes to the Republicans in the United States Senate, the ones who
voted to confirm all of Joe Biden's ointments. They are at war with you. They are at war with reform. They want to stop the draining of the swamp, and they have already won the first critical battle. And so I hear all these rumors out there about Ronda Santis. There's a lot of rumors out there that Ronda Santis is going to be the new sect deaf pick. And I love Rondi Santis, best governor in the country. I voted for him in the primary. I love the freaking guy so much, and he would be the best sec
deaf in the history of the world. And I flatly say no, I reject it. I reject anybody but Pete Hegseth. And that is not from some undying loyalty to Pete Hegseeth, although I do like him and he is a friend and I do want him to go through. That is because we must burn the boats now. There is no going back. If we allow the GOP Senate to shoot down two for two of Trump's cabinet appointments, then Donald Trump is not going to accomplish a single thing. We
are going to lose. We have got to drop this mentality. It is all in now, all the chips to the center of the table. It is Hank Seth or bust. We must shove this through no matter what it is. The Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday. I love you guys. I'm in such a good mood anyway. If you want to email us, you can Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Joe Biden took in the Christmas lights last night kind of reminded me of what I had to do at Christmas time or Thanksgiving time with my mom three two what.
I did, the fake excitement thing.
So I told you the boys and I and off. Obviously we included her in Thanksgiving. We got together with my sister and my mom for Thanksgiving and it was a little heavy, as you can imagine, But my mom wanted to do a Christmas lights ceremony. And don't know why she wanted to do this, because everyone knows my family's just terrible. We're just terrible to each other. It's awful, as you can imagine. It's just awful. And we all go outside and the lights get plugged in and they
do look good. But of course it's just Christmas lights, right, So the boys are as bad as I am.
Now everyone started doing.
The wow, this is amazing, just ruin the entire thing. Let's get back to the questions. Enough for this nonsense, Jesse. When do you think America as a whole was at its best and why? Well, at its best is a hard question to answer, But if I had to put a point on it, I would say about the nineteen twenties. And here's why. Here's why America. Obviously it's hard to grow a country from its inception, so we go through these huge things as a country. We found the nation. Okay,
that was great. We had to fight a revolution, We had to fight the most powerful empire on earth. Credit to us can we won? But then we had to fight them again in eighteen twelve. All right, that's a slog At the same time, now we have to go and we have to expand out west. We believe it is our destiny, it's inevitable to conquer the western part of this country of ours. And that that is an amazing story, not just you know, fights with Indians and
them fighting with us. Right, the Indian story is part of America's story as well. It just is the Indians who were here fighting. Imagine, imagine being a people and being conquered and choosing when do you fight, do you fight at all?
Do you just go along?
And that story is amazing, and then you have the bravery of the people. I've always I watched a western. I was on a flight last week, two weeks ago. I was that a flight last week, let's call it last week, and they had a new movie, had a new Western out called Horizon. It wasn't from what I understand, it wasn't well reviewed. And I don't want to give you a review of a movie because I don't generally do pop culture stuff, and I don't know if you
can trust me on it. I loved it, but I need to explain I love westerns.
You know.
The essence of the movie is people moving out West, and there's cowboys and Indians and robbers and violence and craziness and Kevin Costner's in it. But I loved all three hours of it, and it gives you the different perspective of the settlers and the troops and the cowboys and the miners and the I'm not telling you it's a good movie because I am so biased towards Western Expansion and admire the Apaches who were fighting for it and us who were fighting them, and the troops of that.
I am such a big admirer of just the adventure, in the bravery of it all that I'm not a good judge of the movie.
I enjoyed every.
Second of it, totally loved it because Western Expansion. To me, I don't want to say it's our best time. I'm not saying that I'll get to nineteen twenty in a moment. I think it's such an awesome tale of America. To throw your family, your wife, your kids in a covered wagon and you get on a wagon. Train starts in Missouri. That's usually where a lot of them started. It started in Missouri, and you take off out west, and it's
danger and its deprivation. It's cold, it's hot, and you're just carving out a living, hoping to carve out a living, a better life for yourself and your family somewhere and.
Risking it all, risking it all to do so. The mountains, like the mountain men in.
The inhospitable mountains, and it's not look Montana. You know, that's where I grew up. I moved there when I was ten. Montana can be dangerous and inhospitable today extremely so. Montana itself will kill many people every year. Now that's today. We have heaters and long John's and fancy clothes and
gloves and all these other things. What was Montana like in eighteen forty when you had a horse and if your horse happened to die or break a leg going through the mountain pass, they might never find your body again.
That's awesome.
And then the Civil War. I'm not going to go into the Civil War. It was just such an awful, awful thing.
I love it.
I'm totally fascinated by the conflict. It was just a terrible, terrible, terrible thing. Americans slaughtering each other like that. It's awful, awful. But again, that's a nation grows and it grows painfully. And then we come out of that, and now we were finally done with slavery, which is a good thing, right, it's going to be done with slavery. So we come out of that, and they're just there are so many things. So I'm all that leading us to kind of the
nineteen twenties. And I'll tell you why I kind of think that's the superior period of time. And then we'll talk about homeschooling, and someone wants to know if the Border Patrol should be allowed to shoot illegals. Before we do that, let's talk about tunnel to Towers.
I'll tell you what.
That's another great period in American history, post nine to eleven. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday and ask doctor Jesse Friday member. If you missed any part of the show, you can download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. Before we uh get back to the questions, I heard James Carvell. We've been playing a lot of James Carvel. He's been out there a lot. And sometimes these people are so insanely, insanely naive, even smart people.
The central point of all of this, all of this is the most tragic figure in American politics in my lifetime, is Present Biden. If he would have in September of twenty twenty three, August said that he wasn't going to run, we would have won this selection and it wouldn't have been that close because we'd have had so many freaking talented people that were running, and he would be sitting here right now, getting ready to leave on a high note.
You know, naivete can really really burn you. And you know, I get emails sometimes and I'm not criticizing you.
I'm really not.
I'll get emails sometimes and I know your heart's in the right place, and they'll say things like, well, Jesse, I don't understand why we can't just but here's a good, good one. Why don't we just stop all benefits to illegals, just cut off their welfare.
Then they'll go home.
Yeah, that sounds great. Who's gonna do that? You see, that's not realistic. Who's gonna do that? Because you're gonna have to bank on democrats participating. You're gonna have to bank on blue states participating. Even if you got Texas to do that, which is great, New York wouldn't, California is not going to Who's good.
Who's gonna do that?
You know, it's a simple sounding solution that's not realistic. It's just not And these people, these Democrats like Carvel, they complain because Joe Biden stuck around.
If he just bounce, if he he just bout out. In September, Joe Biden has been an ambitious politician.
Since the day he began, his family groomed him to be in politics, and from the moment he got into politics, he was always doing that thing.
So many of them do, getting the.
Next job and the next job, and the next job, and the next job and the next job. And finally, Joe Biden he's a senator, and it looks like that's kind of where he's gonna cap because he's a moron and no one's gonna do anything else. But then Barack Obama runs, and Barack Obama's this young dude, no foreign policy experience, and he's black, so he needs to wipe up the ticket a little bit and he needs to
get more foreign policy on there. So he goes and finds the old white guy and says, hey, Joe, and so now Joe Biden, who was really capped as a senator, Boom, he's the vice president of the United States. Okay, vice president. Now, if you run for office, president's always on your mind, or at least at someone will mention it to a new will think wow, maybe one day. So now he's vice President of the United States, and Barack Obama does eight years and Joe Biden walks away, and he went
from being Vice president senator to nothing. It was just just the dude just retired. And then you morons, because you didn't want Bernie Sanders to win the primary, you went and you plucked Joe Biden out of retirement and you handed him the White House. That's what they did. Remember, they handed Joe Biden the nomination. They plucked him from retirement, dumped a bunch of money on him. Remember they ran every other Democrat out of the primary to hand the
primary to Joe Biden. And then after they handed the primary to Joe Biden, they used Mark Zuckerberg's four hundred million dollars and a bunch of dirty comedy cheating tactics to cheat Donald Trump out of the election. So Joe Biden was handed the nomination, handed the White House. You plucked a man, an ambitious man, from retirement, and you you dropped him into the seat of the most powerful man on the planet. You took a guy who was sipping sweet tea in Delaware and you dropped him in
the Oval office. And you thought.
He thought he was gonna give it up, thought for what the good of the party.
You thought there was a chance he was just gonna give it up without a fight.
How naive are these people? It's insane might of thinking.
I don't get it at all, Jesse in this day's decide, Oh wait, I forgot to finish my thought on the best period of time.
In American history.
So I already talked about the Civil War and all those things, and then we came out of all that and America's industrial might. It was always evident that we were gonna have potential, but we really found our footing late eighteen hundreds nineteen hundred, when the world was kind of starting to industrialize. Really America was an industrial machine, and there were jobs everywhere, and the economy was growing.
We were turning into an international juggernaut at that time, early nineteen hundreds about that time, and we were churning and burning. Plus women didn't have the right to vote. So it was a lot better period of time when it came to our politics.
And then World War One.
Happened, and I'm not going to say it screwed everything up, but World War One was the first, the very very first taste the elites in this country got of how wonderful war can be for them. They really Woodrow Wilson really did everything possible to manipulate our way into that war. We were pulling some pretty shady stuff, sending munitions to Britain and whatnot when we weren't really supposed to it anyway,
pulled some shady stuff to get us in. And then the elites figured out, wait a minute, wars good for my power. Wars good for us. It's bad for all the people who die, of course, but who cares about them, They're just the peasants. War is good for me. But then post World War One, we didn't stay on that footing. We went right back to again. This is why I said nineteen twenty, went right back to that mentality of we mind our own business. We are operating our own
country here, will trade with everyone. But we have it great in America. We have all the natural resources we need, We have enough land, we have enough living space for everybody. We are lacking nothing. If we can just hold this together, we are so blessed by God. Generation after generation after generation after generation is going to be blessed to live in a country this prosperous, this industrial. There will be
jobs to go around, it will be great. And then then we just kind of started slowly but surely to grow the size of government. Because the Great Depression happened, we started to blow up. FDR really authored this blow up the size of government, grow the size of government into the insane juggernaut it is now. If you were to sit down to founding fathers and tell them the federal government would be the largest landowner and largest employer one day, they would have just handed the country right
back to the British. They would have they would have they would have said, oh my god, wait, what are you are you what?
No, they think you were joking.
If you could, if you could travel back in time and you could have dinner with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, and you'd have to watch George Washington try to chew those wooden teeth and stuff like that. But if you were to see down with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and you were to tell them, hey, guys, about two hundred and fifty years from now, this country you're fighting for, this limited federal government going to be the largest, most
powerful entity in the country. They'll own the most land, they'll be the biggest insure, biggest employer. And you know what the national debt is going to crush the country. They would be mortified. I could actually picture Thomas Jefferson. I always figured he was kind of a dork sitting there. I bet you would just start sobbing. I bet you would just start sobbing. Wait, no, what, Please don't now, Thomas.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, if we really screwed the whole thing up here, gosh, anyway, it's enough of that talk about homeschooling, shall we breaking it is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, and asked doctor Jesse Friday and amazing Friday. We'll get back to the emails in a moment. Let's go to the voicemails because she can leave those eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three.
Hey, Jeffie, this is Joe from Wisconsin. I was just wondering you said the other day that Pete heg said that he was brought in he would change the military stuff so that women couldn't be in combat. I was just wondering if that would at all affect you if you were going in, since you have such feminine small hands. Thanks for the time time.
I hate you guys.
We're not doing any more voicemails, Chris close the voicemail lines, Chris, I don't want anyone to be able to leave us any more voicemail Hello. In this day's society and the apparent decline of our education system, what are your thoughts on homeschooling? The husband and I have a four month old daughter. We have no interest in her being exposed to public or even in most cases, private schools. When she gets to that age, You're welcome to say my
name and her name is Alissa. Oh. I think Holmes is like the greatest thing in the history of the world. And we if we didn't have access to a school we loved, then we would already be homeschooling in our home. The homeschool people I know, the homeschool children, I know they know more than their friends. They are way more knowledgeable about things. They have not been poisoned because listen, what's the best way I can describe? Okay, let's let's split it this way. You know, I read a story
about a guy. In fact, I'm not going to give out his name, but it's true story.
I know that.
And the guy had a really, really rough childhood. His parents were terrible and at one point, he and his brother had to leave their parents home and one of their family friends ran a a brothel, okay, a brothel, this is true story where ladies of the night applied their trade and he and his brother were so desperate for warmth and food. There were kids that this family friend took them in and they were raised inside of this brothel. And this guy obviously went on to have
a lot of problems in his life. By the grace of God, he overcame a lot of things. But he was talking about his childhood and to hear him describe what his life was like as a kid, how do you overcome being surrounded by filth like that in an environment like that? Your environment where you spend so much of your time has so much to do with your worldview and how you turn out.
It just does.
And so when you take your child, and believe me, look, I went to nothing but government schools. It's not like I was in fancy private schools or something. Government schools are not very good ones, you know, But when you take your child, given how poisoned the education system has become against everything good because it's run by communists, because it's run by people who hate us. You take your child for seven eight hours a day and you immerse them in that it is going to have an effect
on them. And again I'm not lecturing anybody. My kids have done the public school thing. Like I've been there, I know, and sometimes you don't have any choice at all.
The truth is.
If you can take your kids and nurture them and educate them yourself, and they have incredible resources now for homeschooling. When you talk about homeschooling, here's what a lot of people think. They'll talk themselves down. Well, I wasn't a very good student. How am I supposed to teach algebra? I don't know algebra, Jesse, I don't know history.
I can't.
No, no, no, you don't understand the online resources now that are available for homeschooling.
There there is. You have every.
Resource in the world that will allow you, yes, you to educate your child the exact way you want to educate your child, and your child will be better off for it. The homeschool kids have fewer problems, fewer drug abuse problems, they get better grades, they go onto everything by every metric. The homeschool kids are dominating the other kids in this society. If it's something you are considering, I would highly highly recommend it, highly recommend for sure. Jesse,
what's the best retort to being called a Nazi? Stalin Mao pole pot. Okay, First, remember I already explained yesterday why they call you a Nazi. I explained that, but uh, you also need to understand they do the Nazi thing for another reason. If you want to know exactly why they call people Nazis, you're gonna have to go download the podcast the Last Night show. I gave a long answer on this. There's a long there's a historical aspect to this and whatnot. iHeart Spotify iTunes. You can go
download that. I'll go over it again. But there's another reason why they call you a Nazi. It's to get you distracted and off the subject. Remember, the facts aren't with them, and they know that.
They're aware of that.
So when they learn to argue politics, they learn to be loud, they learn to lie, they learn to change the subject, and they learn to insult you because insulting you can get you off the topic. And if it's off the topic, if you get off the topic, they win.
Right.
If I come home and I forgot to take the trash out this morning, and now the trash is overflown and we're stuck with overflowing trash for a week and it was one hundred percent of my fault. And I walk in and OBB says, it's not like she would be mean about it. But if OB says, oh, way to go, idiot, she wouldn't say that, way to go, idiot, you forgot to take the trash out. I can in that moment I'm clearly the wrong.
I'm in the wrong.
I can say sorry, or because the facts aren't with me, I can say, you know what, I feel like you've been putting on weight. Now that's completely rude. And no, it's not something that I'm gonna say, And no, she hasn't been. But if I say that to her, are we gonna be arguing about the trash? Can any longer? Chris is laughing. No, we are most definitely not. We're gonna argue about how rude I am and this and that, but the subject changed from something that made me look bad.
It is something totally totally separate. We're no longer arguing about me being an idiot and forgetting to take out the trash when they call you a Nazi, ignorant. They're calling you a Nazi to create, to create an emotional response in you that will get you sidetracked, that will get you off the subject.
Just let it go.
You're not a Nazi, at least at least I hope you're not a Nazi. You're not a Nazi, so who cares?
Let it go? Move on, all right? All right? The border patrol?
Should they be shooting illegals. I will finally dig into this in a moment. We still have two hours left, and it's going to be an amazing two hours.
