This is a podcast from wr the Jesse Kelly Shaw. Let's have some fun on a Wednesday hook day. You have done it. You're over halfway through the week already, and it is going to be a magnificent night tonight. Even though California is on fire. We are going to discuss that some of the intricacies of California in on a larger scale as we normally do. We're gonna zoom out the hydrants don't have water. What we'll discuss that,
We're gonna discuss negotiating positions. The Mexican President is staring Donald Trump right in the face and saying, no, I'm just kidding. That's not what she says. She said something else in Mexican. Will get to that in a little while. Joe Biden's doing preemptive pardons. What in the world, how is that connected at all to the Labor Party? In the UK? Bankruptcies are through the roof emails someone We
probably have our smartest voicemail ever. All that and so much more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now, first and foremost, say a prayer for the people in California right now. Wildfires, the fire in general. This is something about it. It's scary, isn't it. It's fascinating, It's scary. It's wonderful, ready to know. It's a wonderful tool, warms things. It's been used a million different ways, is used a million different ways. But out of control fire
is horrifying. And what people are going through right now, homes burning, the confusion people are missed seeing it's it's awful. So say a prayer for the people of California. Now let's discuss something here. There's been a lot of chatter today. I know you've heard the chatter about how can this happen? How can this happen? And people are correctly for the most part. Obviously there's always some bunk information out there, but people are correctly pointing out things like why hasn't
the brush been moved? Why hasn't the dried brush been moved? I'll tell you, I'm from Montana. Anyone who's from that part of the world knows that wildfires are a part of your existence. And because of that, you have to make plans. You have to remove dried, dead things because that's the stuff that catches fire. You know, everyone knows that that's what's supposed to be done. People are screaming about the lack of water. We had somebody from the local news use in La saying.
This, I am super inspired.
She took time out of her already busy schedule to tell us.
That's totally the wrong sound by ignoring I said anything. Someone from LA saying this.
If you're wondering where is La mayor Karen Bass, she's been in Ghana, so she.
Also the wrong one. My bad. Someone from LA saying.
This, they can't fight a fire.
You know, in my defense, the last two people were also from La, so in a way, I was right. Let's focus on that they.
Can't fight a fire without water and the resources that are needed. Everybody knew these winds were coming, So the other question has to be, you know, we're all the things in place to try to, you know, again, mitigate the damage here. But the real issue to me is twofold. We've had decades to go remove the brush in these hills that spread so quickly. And the second is you've gotta have water. And my understanding is the reservoir was not refilled in time and in a timely manner to
keep the hydrants gone. So that's a failure, whether i'm DWP's part or another city agency.
Okay, all right, so let me tell you about something that happened in Italy on my vacation. Don't worry, I'm not just vacation bragging. I'm gonna make a connection here. Just stay with me. We did gladiator training in Italy. Now I know what you're thinking. You're probably thinking the exact same thing. I was thinking. What kind of lame touristy crap is gladiator training? Full disclosure. It was floated to us by the travel agent. I said, sure, I'll
have fun with the poise. I was expecting, you know, nerf swords and some portly gentleman up there saying this is how you stab someone in Italian? What you would It's an episode one which it would have sounded like that's what I was picturing when it came to gladiator training,
but I was actually very pleasantly surprised. We hop in a cab recruised towards gladiator training, and it turns out it's a gladiator school, a real one, because gladiator fights are something as a sport they are still doing in Italy. Did you know that I did not know that, but they are still going on. Oh but I'm sure it's all just pads and things. No, no, no, no, no. They
showed us their helmets. Don't worry, nobody's dying. But they showed us their equipment, and it's swords, metal ones clanging off of helmets. There are teams that compete against each other. They competed in the coliseum.
I know.
Kind of cool, right, Chris. Anyway, so one of these guys a modern day gladiator, although it's not near as violent as it was. He takes us through this school and shows us all the weapons and things. That's very very cool, as you can imagine. I'm going full nerd right now. And then he takes us into this little mini arena. They have this little mini colosseum, and he actually starts training. I brought my mom along and oub is there and we are learning legitimate sword thrusts. We
have wooden shield, wooden sword, sword thrust, different techniques. He's actually, I'll tell you, it's kind of tiring. Our arms were sore the next day. It was not the touristy thing. I thought. Okay, so you got that fast forward through that. Now we have the end and we're told we're going to fight each other. So he picks James and Luke. I'm going somewhere, stay with me. He picks James and Luke. Everyone else gets pushed to the side. We're all gonna
fight each other. But first James and luc are up. They have their wooden swords, their wooden shields. They square off in the arena. He's the referee, and he says, stop, drop the wooden swords. Okay. They throw their wooden swords down. He goes and grabs a real Gladius, a real Roman Roman sword, hands one to James and hands one to Luke. All right, we're watching and he's the referee. They're squared off side by side, and he says, okay, we're not
doing this with wooden swords. We're doing this with real swords. The boys have no pads on know nothing, just a wooden shield. And he says, okay, fight and James and Luke start inching towards each other, very uncertain and of me. Almost immediately he says, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, that's a joke. We're not doing this with real swords, okay, right, and he says to us, we're all watching me. Ah my mom, He said, you guys didn't say anything to stop me. Now, we didn't. And he said, you want
to hear something crazy. Here's this modern day gladiator fighting fighter. He said, you want to hear something insane. I've been training people in this school for years, and I've been doing in this little you know thing for tourists for years that I've done that joke. He was a joke. Obviously, I've done that joke for years, he said. Not one time has anyone ever stopped me from the crowd. Nobody's ever stopped me. Now why Well, I can only tell
you what was going through my head as I watched it. Disbelief. I'm watching something that doesn't seem Wait, real, what real swords?
No?
What?
No?
Surely surely this is gonna something will stop it? Right? But what if he had not? What if one of the boys had taken a genuine swing? What if he had not? Now I assumed he was going to the whole time, But what if he hadn't We here in the United States of America are so blessed by God. We have lived in a land of plenty for the entirety of our lives. No matter how old you are, if you're ninety five, or you have lived your entire life in a land of plenty. Relatively speaking, I understand
everyone comes from different walks of life. But as a nation, as a nation, the hydrants always have water in them. As a nation, governments were so organized here. This isn't some third world dump. Governments are even a Democrat Republican left. But it doesn't really matter. Governments are always well. Surely they can stop a fire. I mean, there'll be water
and stuff right one day. After your nation has been hollowed out for long enough, or after your state has been hollowed out for long enough, or after your city has been hollowed out for long enough, one day you wake up and there's no water in the hydrant anymore, and you look around and you're stunned. How what how could that? What do you mean there's no water in the hydrant. You get conditioned to things being normal. Surely the boys aren't going to fight. Surely there's water in
the hydrant. But things are normal until they're not anymore. And that's what we'll talk about here in just a moment, before we talk about that living with daily pain isn't normal either. I will tell you after an intense day of gladiator training, I was grateful to have relief Factor flowing through my veins. See me, Maximus Jesse, I still needed Relief Factor at the end of the day to make sure my need is in freaking throb. Relief Factor
is one hundred percent drug free. Relief Factor is a supplement. You take it every single day, and you don't have to wait ages, you don't have to use your imagination. You have to spend nineteen dollars and ninety five cents to buy three weeks of it, and if it fixes your pain, buy some more. And if it doesn't, don't. There's a reason almost everyone calls to order more, because it works. It's like a freaking miracle. Call one eight hundred the number four Relief and get a three week
kit today, or go to relief Factor dot com. We'll be back, mister New York Mark. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wednesday, a hub day. Reminding you you can email the show Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. You can leave us a voicemail eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three. So we're discussing kind of in a thirty thousand foot viewway. The wildfires, the hydrants are empty. How could this happen? Why didn't the
brush get cleared? Why is the government failing? The freaking Mayor of La is over there in Ghana.
What you're wondering, where is La Mayor Karen Vass. She's been in Ghana, so she's apparently on her way back. That's why we have not seen her on the scene. We saw Governor Newsom.
I actually have a story about Ghana and why people are in Ghana right now. I'll get to that in just a moment. Before I get to that, I want to go back to what we were talking about, disbelief. We live in a land of plenty for so long, we're just used to things always being there. Let's pause on that though for a moment, because I actually want to switch stories. You'll see why. In a moment. I'll bring it back home. So just stay with me. That
terrorist attack, I was gone. I was on vacation during that horrible terrorist attack in New Orleans and pray for those families. God rest their souls. And in the wake of that terrorist attack, a lot of chatter got spread around very reputable people that there are a lot of Jihati's here in America, and people are thinking. Some people,
not all, but some people are thinking. Intelligence people are thinking there is possibly going to be a widespread, coordinated terrorist attack at some point over the next few months. I'm not saying that I don't know. I haven't looked at the tax sit up, but sharp intelligence people are saying that, I don't know whether that's true. I'm not going to change how I live my life, but thinking about that, you know, Joe Biden opened up the border.
Only god knows how many scumbags have come across that border. Let's for a second, let's play that game. Let's say there's a thousand. When you've brought in fifteen twenty million people illegally, A thousand is not at all ridiculous numbers.
So let's just for the sake of simplicity, let's say it's a thousand spread out across the country, nail bombs, vehicles, guns, whatever, do do the whole jihadi playbook, and they intend to on a certain day whatever January twentieth, Inauguration day, they intend to launch some big gihod and start killing as many Americans as possible until they're stopped. This is a hypothetical. Hypothetical Stay with me. So I decided to reach out to sorcerers. I love saying that. It makes me sound
like a real journalist. It's journalist Jesse. It's just friends of mine, green berets, FBI agents, former FBI agents, guys like that. And I decided to ask them, Hey, if there is some widespread jihad attack and they're going to go until they stopped a thousand, ten thousand, who knows? Can the FBI stop them? Have you ever thought about that? It's always kind of baked into the cake that if something like that were to happen, surely federal law enforcement
could stop them. Surely you want to hear the responses, So I'll read you. This is verbatim. I have my phone in front of me. This is verbatim text message I sent to a friend. Quote. This is from me. Do our federal agencies even still have the ability to root out a bunch of jihadis if we have a bunch of cells here, meaning let's say we get cash patail and he does the best he can to get things right, do we have the people who can fix this?
Or has the institutional rot gone too deep. Do you want to hear the first response quote, I believe personally the rod is too deep. You might turn that ship in five years with great effort, and certainly in ten. But write this second for a critical window labeled in years, not a beeping chance. All the good people left. That was from one. This next one is from someone you
would know. Good friend of the show, former FBI special agent Steve Friend, super stud anti communist and brave whistleblower. I asked, Steve. We talked for a while, but this is the part I really have permission to tell you, I said, Quote, So, if this is the start of a ten thousand man jihad within our borders, can we stop it? You want to hear his direct quote back to me, quote, the FBI can't fourteen thousand agents. Most have zero chops. Legitimately, I would trust less than ten
percent to clear a house with me. They sit in cubicles all day and outsource their case work to local cops. They just adopt local cases and claim credit. It's going to require deputizing real cops. It sobering, right, kind of a what we look at wildfires and we look at the fire hydrants and we say how could how could the fire hydrants be empty? The fire hydrants, they're never empty.
What do you that can't happen? We think about some crazy, g hotty scumbags trying to murder as many Americans as possible, and in the back of our minds, my mind too, just like yours, in the back of our minds, we think, well, yeah, it's bad, it'd be really bad, it'd be ugly. But obviously federal law enforcement, the guys are still there to rally and stop it, right right, But that's not how
it works historically. Historically, if the citizens neglect their government for long enough, and evil people within their government do evil deeds for long enough. Storically, you wake up one day and the fire hydrants are empty and the FBI can't stop them. Chew on that for a moment before we continue. And while you're chewing on that, let your dog chew on some rough greens, which you will help your dog live longer if the Jihadis don't happen to
get him. You see, rough greens. Rough greens takes care of the fact there's no nutrition in your dog's food. I know that's shocking. I found that speaking of gut punches. That was a gut punch for me because you always go buy the special blend. All this will be healthier for my dog. It's not healthier. There's nothing in it. It's all brown because they kill everything in dog food at the factory. You want your dog to go to the vet less, have a shiny your coat, better breath,
just better everything. Start sprinkling rough Greens on your dog's food. Vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants. Yes, they have it for cats now too, mialgreens. You will see physical differences in your pet and maybe they'll be able to survive an Isis attack. You want a free jumpstart trial bag call eight three three three three my dog or go to
Roughgreens dot com. Slash Jesse is the Jesse Kelly Show, discussing kind of roundabout ways everything from California wildfires to gladiator fights to fighting gie Hotti's all that and so much more. I bet you didn't think you were gonna get all that tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. But hey, let's focus on the important thing. Joe Biden happened to be in California. He popped by to check in on the wildfires, and well, you can't get more
Joe than this naming the Gulf of Mexico. The good news is I'm a great grandfather. If you looked up toned in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Joe Biden sitting right beside it. Yes, Joe, that's what everyone's focused on now.
We we have lived in so many blessings for such a long time that we were just used to it.
You know, it's not your fault, it's not my fault. We only know what we know. The fire hydrants always have water. The FBI is crazy and weird and awful as they may get, surely they have the personnel still to stop Gi Hottie attacks. Surely, at some point in time, at some level, surely it works. But that's not how nations work.
You know.
We love we love them. We love to repeat that quote, especially those of us on the right. We love to repeat that quote from Ronald Reagan. Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. And it is a great quote. Your credit to Reagan forty out a bunch of great quotes. But it's a great quote. But here is the truth of it. Here's the nitty gritty of that. If you and I, if we are not hyper vigilant about the city, the county, the state, and the country
we live in. If we don't play active roles, if we don't get interested in our governments in our cities and how they function, our counties and how they function,
our state, in our government, our in our country. If we aren't active in its human nature when everything works to not be active, If you don't stay active, slowly but surely, evil slash stupid people will take over the positions of power and without our knowledge, while we're going to work in school and church and families and Christmas and well Hanukah for Chris and everything else while we're living our lives is being hollowed out from within. How can this happen? I'll tell you this.
You know.
I come from construction. It's what my dad did, It's what his dad did. And I started working construction when I was sixteen, sixteen, seventeen years old. My dad didn't have a company then. I was just working for a company he was working for. But I started out in the ditch. That's really where I worked. I wasn't in charge of anything I wasn't in the office. I had the worst possible jobs. I was the new guy. So whatever the crappiest jobs are, here's a shovel, go at it.
And I was working on a job in the San Diego area. Because when you're doing underground construction, you do it all over Arizona, California, Texas. We were always doing jobs in different places. But I did a job in southern California, and so I was living there, just working construction. And at one point I asked who the guy was who was observing us. There was a guy. He wasn't on our crew, he wasn't one of the inspectors inspecting our work, but there was a guy who would just
stand there and watch us work all day. I finally inquired, who is this guy? You know who the guy was because of the laws, and I don't know, I don't remember whether it was a city, county, state law. But because of the laws there this guy's job. He got paid seventy five dollars an hour. I remember that like it was yesterday. This guy's job seventy five dollars an hour.
That's big boy money. Seventy five dollars an hour. His job was to watch us dig water and sewer line work, watch us dig just in case we came across any old artifacts like Indian artifacts and things like that, so he could be there to stop all of the work. Now, who paid that. We didn't pay that. The taxpayers paid that. We knew we were going to have to have that guy there, and so you have to build that into
your construction bid before you turn it in. The taxpayers of California paid that gentleman seventy five dollars an hour. I don't remember how long the job lasted. I would guess six months, but you're gonna have to forgive me if that's wrong. For six months, the taxpayers of California paid that guy seventy five dollars an hour to stand there, smoke cigarettes, pick his nose, and watch us do construction.
How can a place get quite that insane? Because there are wonderful people all over California listening to the sound of my voice right now. They have more Republicans than any other state in the Union. How can that possibly happen? Well, when life is good, when the hot, when the fire hydrants work, when the roads are paved, when the grocery
store shelves are stopped. It is human nature. It's not that you're bad or I'm bad, or it is human nature to simply neglect what must be maintained and then you wake up one day and you find out you can't do it anymore. One final example, I'm gonna move off this. We're gonna talk about some other stuff, get to emails and stuff. I don't want to spend all night on this. But I had a buddy. He was a wrestler, and as a high school wrestler, he didn't win state, but he got second in state. And he
was a beast, a physical specimen beast. One of these guys. He would get up and run. He just loved to run and work out and lift. He's just a physical for when he was younger, he was just a physical human being, a really physical human being. And we have this place in Bozeman, Montana. That's where I move when I was ten. It's this mountain. Well, there's mountains everywhere, but they have a big M on the side of
the mountain for Montana State University. It doesn't matter, but there's a big M on the side of It's huge. You can see it when you're ten miles away, you can look and see the M. It's that kind of big, and it's up towards the top of this mountain and there are running trails and hiking trails up to it, and it is something people hike all the time and workout warriors will run it all the time. You better be in shape if you're going to run the m. It's always got running the m. It's what you did.
When I was training to go to Marine Corps boot camp, I would go run the m. It would run the m, run the m. And my buddy used to go run the m before school or work, depending on where what time of year it was. Every day before he would get up and just go run the m. You run the m once your legs are on fire and your lungs feel like someone's holding a big lighter to them. He used to do it every day for fun. He ended up ended up hurting his ankle real bad and they had to put pins in it. It was real
bad injury. And then he ended up getting kind of hooked on pills for a while and really let himself go. And this went on for a couple of years. I'm talking no workouts, double cheese pizzas, the works pills, and of course with the pills come other stuff. One thing leads to another, pills, booze fat pills, booze fat pills, booze fat. This, dude, what I tell you? A physical specimen, at one point, physical specimen built like a Greek god, finally cleans up his life. He's still cleaned to this day,
to his credit, finally cleans up his life. And I remember it like it was, yesaid, I wasn't with him, but he called me because he had gotten up one morning after he'd gotten clean, and said, I'm gonna go back into running the m. He couldn't make it. The physical specimen who could run up to the M like a gazelle every day, couldn't make it. How does that happen? Years of neglect. Things don't last forever if you don't pay attention to them and maintain them. The cost of
neglecting our government and our society is high. You wake up one day and it doesn't work anymore. And that's what we're experiencing in many, many, many different ways in our country right now. All right, I'll tell you one more thing about Ghana, and then one thing about the Militaryum, we're moving off this doing other stuff. All right, Hang on, you're listening to the Oracle Jesse Kelly Show on a Wednesday, a hump day, reminding you you can email whatever you want, love, hey,
death threats, ask doctor Jesse. Questions for Friday. Email all those into Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. You can leave us a voicemail eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three A couple final words on this. Mayor of La has been in Ghana.
That's kind We're wondering where is La Mayor Karen Bass. She's been in Ghana, so she's apparently on her.
So I actually got a little insight into this, believe it or not, when I was on vacation. Remember I told you we got stranded in Paris for a couple of days. We were passing through Paris, they lost our luggage, missed our connections. We had to go get a hotel arav and I decide, Hey, let's make the most of a night in Paris. Let's go down just the two of us, will leave the boys in the room. We haven't had a date night on our own since vacation started.
Let's go down little grab, little bite, tea, maybe cocktails. Sit there, do our thing. We belly up to the bar in a place because there are no seats in the restaurant. There's only two seats at the bar. So we sit at the bar. Lady sits beside us, a black lady, and we strike up. We always end up talking to people. We strike up conversation, just gabbing with her, finding out about life. And she was a business woman and she was also going back to the States but
decided to go to Paris. She want to do some shopping. We start talking to her and she said she was coming from Ghana. We said, Ghana in Africa. What's in Ghana? And Ghana is not a dump like a lot of Africa is. Ghana is not bad, but still it's not exactly what you hear every day. We're coming from Ghana. Ah,
what are you doing in Ghana? Well, Ghana. Ghana does some big two week celebration every year and as part of it, Ghana has done this thing and they've been doing it for a few years now where they have set aside parts of their country that they will give you if you're black, no matter where you're from. As part of the African American diaspora as they called it, is this hearkens clear back to slavery. And I asked her, because I'm, as you can imagine, I'm completely curious as
you are right now. I asked you. I said, well, do you have to prove you're from Ghana? How would you do that? Because if it goes back to slavery, they weren't exactly taking passports and drivers' licenses back then. Do you have to prove any of that? She's like, Nope, you don't have to prove a thing. If you're black, you can show up. They'll give you citizenship and a piece of property. Why was the la mayor clearover in Ghana? Well,
the wildfires burned. Bet your money, that's why. Interesting, right, And one more little tidbit on the hollowed out thing, just going to leave you with this horrifying thought. You know, war games are things people do all the time. People will do them for fun, and militaries, any military worth assault, will do them as stress tests. Hey, let's pretend a war kicks off with Russia. How would it start. Let's
say it starts this way. What would we do to respond? Okay, we do this, but then we can bank on them doing that, and then and then we do this and that. The war games, you're trying to figure out where your weaknesses are, how you're faring in things. Do you know that we've done wargames, multiple wargames with China to just game out how that would look. There are all these conflicts in the South China seed, China wants Taiwan, China this, China ban. All these wargames with China. You know how
many we've won? Zero? Not one. The hallowing out of American society by the filthy communists who've been occupying positions of power in our country has been going on for a long time, and it goes way beyond Los Angeles, California, goes beyond the FBI. Evil, stupid people have been taking over everything for a very long time, and one day you wake up and your country isn't what it was before. I'm sure you've heard by now. If you haven't, here's the head of the LA Fire Department.
I am super inspired now.
She took time out of her already busy schedule to tell us about her vision for the department's future, one that includes a three year strategic plan to increase diversity.
People ask me, what number are you looking for us? So I'm not looking for a number.
It's never enough. Out of thirty three hundred city firefighters, only one hundred and fifteen are women. Right now, she's already looking at ways to change that. She's quick to point out that doing so has a greater purpose attracting the best and brightest for the job.
They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part of a cohesive team.
But Chief also checks another box when it comes to inclusivity and diversity and this department. She's a proud member of the LGBTQ community.
That just kind of opens the door of people that thought, oh, I didn't even know that that was an opportunity for me.
That's not an indictment of the LA Fire Department. How long have I warned you when it comes to the military and other things, you in fact cannot walk and chew gum at the same time. You cannot maintain your professional standards while also setting aside merit trying to check diversity boxes to make sure you've gained the place up enough. That's not how it works at all. If you focus on that crap, your society, every part of it will be hollowed out. All right, speaking of getting hollowed out,
not that easy to find employees anymore? Is it difficult? Get a bunch of dirtballs? People don't even show up for interviews. Now, where are all the qualified candidates? They're all on ZipRecruiter. That's where they are. ZipRecruiter is number one for a reason. It's the higher site employers prefer the most, because that's what matters. Where where are these guys, Well, they're all on ZipRecruiter. You want the best people. You want to link up top talent with your country company.
Ziprecruiters where you do that, and you try it for free? Not making that up. You try it for free. ZipRecruiter dot com, slash jesse. Let you try it for free. Don't sit around crossing your fingers, slap that sign on the door, don't take an ad out in the local newspaper. Since it's not nineteen sixty five anymore. Zip recruiters. Where you go, ZipRecruiter dot com, slash jesse. Now, let's do a couple of voicemails, maybe some emails before we talk
about Mexico's president and the back and forth. The little tip for Tad if you will, she's having with Donald Trump. First, I want to give credit where it's due. We get more emails and voicemails than you can imagine now, which is really weird. So we used to not get anyone. The show is just, you know, really really small, and that's how we get all these and so we've had a lot of dumb ones, and we've had a lot of good ones. This one, when I heard it, it
took me back at how intelligent it was. I thought to myself, my goodness, this person, this person's going to go really really far because because you never know what you're gonna get when you press play on the voicemail. But my word, you want to talk about someone who hasn't figured out.
I know that you are thinking about commissioning some more portraits of yourself, and you talk about upgrading yourself to a king.
Whis up winner?
Go for an emperor? You deserve it.
It I do deserve it. And now, because of the inspiration I've gotten from that genius, I'm going to figure out a way to commission an emperor. Jesse painting to go. Don't shake your head, Chris to go right beside the prince painting that's sits right behind me. Also, Chris, don't forget we're supposed to get some special lighting that highlights the prince painting behind me. I want to make sure all eyes are drawn to it. This has been a podcast from wor
