Congress and Coffee

writing a manifesto? Manifesto? Why do killers write a manifesto describing why they're going to commit mass destruction or murder? Is this something they learned to do in college or something? Why bother with a manifesto? I'm just curious, Okay, So there is something that is very very real for all human beings. This is about all of us, you and me and everybody. People want to feel heard. They want

to feel important in some way. I don't mean necessarily fame or something like that, but all human beings, all of them, men, women, children, They want to feel like they have a voice. They want to feel some amount of power, some amount of power of control over the things in their lives. And if you manipulate that in really really terrible ways you can end up with what happens with so many of these mass shooters, so many

of these killers. You see Columbine, it's something if you're young enough, you weren't even alive because this was so many years ago. Chris, wasn't Columbine the nineties? I forget. I'm pretty sure it was the nineties, But anyway, I was a kid. Wouldn't Columbine happened? I was young anyway? And Chris said ninety nine, okay, yeah, it was the year I graduated high school? Was Columbine. Now again, it's so weird because our world has changed so much in

the last twenty six years. Before Colinbine, it's not as if there wasn't ever a mass shooting, but it really was almost unheard of. It was almost completely unheard of. It just is not one of those things that happened. And then after Colinbine, they're all the time. Now, let's be honest, it's every year. There will be generally multiple year with various degrees of death, right, but there are

multiple a year. What happened, Well, a really horrible toxic stew of things happened at once that has created this mass shooting culture. So we're not going to go into all of it, the medications there on, and I'm not even going to go into the communist aspect of it. I'm going to set all that stuff aside here. One of the worst parts of it was the Colin Bine school shooters were made instantly famous, instantly, I could tell you right now, and I will not even though you

already know it. I could tell you their names off the top of my head right now because after that horrible school shooting, it was such a shock. I'm not even blaming the media or anyone on the left or right. It was such a shock. It was such a sea change. Wait, a bunch of school kids got mowed down by their classmates. It was such a shock that it was all the news could talk about. And I was a young man, right, a teenager at seventeen, eighteen years old. It was all

you could see on the television forever. It seemed like for a year. You would see their names, you would see their faces, they had the pictures of them up. They would be interviewing the victims and talk about the parents, and those guys became famous immediately. Well, now let's talk about how twist it up in evil you have to be to decide you want to murder other human beings, oftentimes indiscriminately. You are angry for, maybe you are bullied.

I will always believe, most often that these people are demon possessed in some way. Demons are real. When you read a story about a mother drowning or babies in a bathtub, almost universally she will talk about the voices in her head telling you to do so. Those are demons, right. I believe that it's again a mixture of a bunch of things. You hate your life, you're angry, your whatever, and now you want to hurt people. Well, not only

do you want to hurt people. This publicity culture we have now it gives you the ability to hurt people, to hurt people publicly, and to get famous for it. Now, if you're some mentally ill, demonic loser who hates everything, you've decided to become murderous. You decided you want to murder people. Being famous, even if it's famous in death, even if it's fame, you will never see being famous. It's very very appealing. And maybe you're the type of

person before the fame came with it. Maybe you're the type of person who wouldn't have actually gone through with it. Yeah you hate your classmates or your teacher, or your mob or whatever it is, and yeah you want to kill them, but you you didn't have the little nudge to push you over the edge to do it. Time after time after time after time after time, we see this. Now, they write it down, they talk about it, they want

to do it, they end up doing it. The final nudge is the fact that they will become known and famous. And even if you say to yourself right now, well, yeah, but they're so common, you'll only be famous for twenty four hours, and then everyone will forget. That's twenty four hours longer than that person has felt relevant and important for the entirety of their lives. For twenty four hours, people will know their names. And it's why I have a rule, and I try the best I can to

stick with it. I am not perfect. I know I've screwed it up in the past. I don't say their names. I do not do it. I have always believed that that should be a national policy. I'm not going to say a national law, because you really don't want to start making vas about things like that. I think it should become an understandable part of our culture where everybody talked about a major news organizations, you on social media, blogs, you name it. I think there should be an embargo

on naming these people because that is the difference. That's why it ramped up. The first guys who did it in Columbine got mega famous and got mega famous for a long time. And if you're at home and you feel like you have nothing to lose and you're demonic and you get your hands on a weapon, whoa one day's worth of fame while taking out all that anger can make the difference. And that's why they write everything down. Two. They want you to know. They want you to find

these things. They want you to find their notebook. They're manifesto. I'm mad at my dad, I'm mad at this Christian school, I'm mad at Republicans, I'm mad at They want you to know it, and they want it read aloud on CNN at night. It's what finally pushes them over the edge to do it. You would have a fraction, a tiny fraction of the school shootings if these kids didn't get famos us for a day. But I don't want to say society today, because society has always been this way.

Every period of time in history is the same way. If it bleeds, it leads. That's what they say in the media, feel good stories. You know, every single local newscast in the country. I guarantee you have a local news station in your area that tries this. Every newscast tries to do a once a week. It's it's feel good Fridays, and they'll highlight some lady who works at a soup can soup kitchen hand and out, or famous biscuits every day and let's introduce Gwen and stuff like that.

You know what. It's the lowest rated thing they do all week, every single time. Because we human beings, we want to see the bombs and the bullets and the blood, the tragedy. It's a part of how we're made. I don't I'm not absolving myself from that. We were supposed to go see a movie later on tonight. That new Christian movie King of Kings is supposed to be wonderful.

I've heard it's really wonderful. Hey, Chris, you going And I'm kidding, but we were supposed to go see King of Kings later on tonight Bob got the flu, so now we don't have to go. I'm thrilled about it. Why no one's getting shot. And it's a great movie, right, it's a good message and you should go see it. And I will go see it because I want to give them my business. I just can't do it tonight because ab is sick. But they don't want to go see a movie about Jesus. I want to go see.

I think there's a new movie out called Warfare. I know there's a movie out called working Man where we're a good guy who knows a bunch of special forts and stuff ends up murdering a bunch of bad guys. Blood. That's what I want to see. I'm guilty, pointing fingers right here. That's who we are. And so the news when one of these things happen, they love it because you love it because I And that's the sadness of it. Right. Let's get off of that. Let's talk about dog fights,

my political journey, many many other things still to come. Oh, the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, A fantastic ass Doctor Jesse Friday. You can still email us your love, your hatre, your death, threats. You're ask doctor Jesse questions. We're live here Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. And remember, if you miss any part of the show, you can download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. Hey Jesse, quick question about World War two dog fights? What are

your thoughts? I don't know why you would ask me about flight and things like that when you should be asking Gail Kane. And I'm so proud of us.

I have somebody I know very well who is a current fighter pilot, like a big boy type, and to hear him discuss it is fascinating. And we were having to talk about this, about who wins, who doesn't win, and stuff like that, and in fact, we were talking about different kinds of jets. We were discussing our new F thirty five versus this jet or that jet, and he said, you know what F thirty five buys me? I said, what he says about a quarter of a second.

And I said, okay, so you're not that impressed. He said, no, No, A quarter of a second's everything. A quarter of a second's me winning, and you die. It buys me time you don't have. And a quarter of a second is the difference between me being alive and you dying. So I am actually going to I'll tell you what. I'll give you a podcast that's not even mine that I'm warning you now it might bore you, but you might

out on it. Elon Musk, who you obviously know. Elon Musk is brilliant and beyond belief when it comes to flights and engines and rockets. He's just one of these types. Okay, you know who Dan Carlin is. Dan Carlin does a bunch of history podcasts. Maybe you've listened to him, maybe you haven't. Whatever, it doesn't matter. But Dan Carlin, I can't point to you. I can't give you a link because I don't know it. I don't have it in front of me, So don't email me asking me to

do the work for you. Go find it. Dan Carlin did a podcast with Elon Musk, and their topic of discussion was it was actually about World War two planes and things like that. And if you're not a reader, I prefer to read this stuff. But if you're not a reader and you want something kind of fed to you audibly, which you probably enjoy, right, Otherwise he wouldn't be listening to me, go download that. It's free, if

I remember right, it's free, at least it was. They describe things or Elon really does the heavy lifting, but describing things that I honestly didn't even think of before. There are planes, there are engines that they do really really well up until they get too high, and then they don't do well at a certain altitude. There are planes that do better when they're diving versus planes that can only rise so fast, like little things that non pilots like me. Again, I know, I'm a lay person.

I know we have a bunch of pilots who actually listen, commercial rate line pilots and fighter pilots. So don't email me and yell at me because I'm an idiot. I know, I don't know, but there are more things that go into it than you can imagine. This plane was great, but at a certain point it wouldn't work well if you were trying to do this with it because it couldn't dive. It's that angle. And they'll just talk endlessly. You can nerd out about the different types of planes,

the different engines. Why was this one great? Why did this one usually beat this one but this one lost to that one. I will compare it in this way, very very very much to a styles make fights type thing, like an MMA, a UFC type thing, where one guy, maybe his style is just uniquely tailored to beat the guy across from him, but he can't beat the next guy, who isn't necessarily better, he just has a different style. So there's all kinds of different planes and wild things.

But also there's a second part of this, which I really love. Pilot skill seemed to be it seemed to be from everything I've read on it, seventy five percent of it, sixty seventy five percent of it. Have you ever remember these Medal of Honor citations we do every Monday. We've done ones on pilots before, and the numbers are a little eye popping sometimes, right when you see, wait, one of our fighters went up and just he just shot down six planes. What was every what were they

all doing? He would just charge Our pilots would just charge one guy. He would charge twenty planes and he wouldn't even die. I mean a lot of our guys did dive. It wouldn't even die. He just mowed through six, seven guys. He was so much better than the pilots. He was facing so much more experience because America had a really, really, really smart training cycle. We would take our best pilots and instead of leaving them out there untill they die, we would cycle them back into America

to train the next generation. With all that experience, we just had better pilots and we would just mow through the other side. Mo through the other side. Anyway, those are my thoughts on dogfighting. Let's talk about Congress and coffee. Next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday. And

asked doctor Jesse Friday. Before I get back to the questions, Uh, Jewish producer Chris brought up the Medal of Honor citation We read one time for Marine Corps pilot in World War two Pacific James Elms sweat And I thought, even though it's not Monday, I thought, just to kind of prove a point about the fighter pilot thing, I thought maybe we should do a little mini Friday edition. What do you think? Oh, by the way, man is still alive to this day? Chris said, he's over one hundred

one oh two. He's one o two, Chris, Chris, he's actually dead. Did I just announce to everybody I'm Live radio that the man is alive? And he's dead, Chris. He died in two thousand and nine, so he's been dead for a long time. It's like he's not even a little bit dead. It's not that they can pull out the paddles and shock him back to life. He's actually been dead for almost two decades, and I just

told everyone he was alive. This is this is what I work with here, honoring those he went above and beyond. It's Medal of Honor Monday. This is for a James Elms Sweat born in Seattle, Washington. Also he is dead for extraordinary heroism and personal valor above and beyond the

call of duty. As Division leader of Marine Fighting Squadron two to two one with Marine air Aircraft Group twelve, first Marine Aircraft Wing in action against enemy Japanese aerial forces in the Solomon Islands area, seventh of April nineteen

forty three. In a daring flight to intercept a wave of one hundred and fifty Japanese planes, League First Lieutenant Sweat unhesitatingly hurled his four plane division into action against a formation of fifteen enemy bombers and personally exploded three hostile planes in mid air with accurate and deadly fire

during his dive, although separated from his division. While clearing the heavy concentration of anti aircraft fire, he boldly attacked six enemy bombers, engaged the first four in turn, and unaided shot down all in flames, exhausting his ammunition. As he closed to the fifth enemy Japanese bomber, he relentlessly drove his attack against terrific opposition, which partially disabled his engine,

shattered the windscreen, and slashed his face. In spite of this, he brought his battered plane down with skillful precision in the water off Tu Loggi without further injury. The superb airmanship in tenacious fighting spirit which enabled First Lieutenant Swept to destroy seven enemy bombers in a single flight, were in keeping with the highest traditions of US naval serviants.

And I believe, if memory serves me, that it was actually some tribesmen, some natives in canoes who went and got him on an underrated I bet you there are good books written about this. I've only read books that weren't about it, who talked about it an underrated part of World War Two in the Pacific were all these islands the Japanese would take over all these islands, but they didn't own every square inch of the island. There were oftentimes tribal peoples tribes who were on the island

who didn't like the horrible Japanese oppression. Because you can imagine how the Japanese would treat tribal peoples when they ran into them, and they would aid the various British and American guerrilla fighters. They would give us information, they would rescue our guys, they would I mean, it's a really cool part of World War Two. I'm surprised. I'm surprised they haven't made a movie over something like that.

Oh well, hollyw would have probably screwed it up anyway. Jesse, I know you grew up Republican but not overly political, and later ran for Congress as a conservative. But at what point did you finally get the whole picture and become a true anti communist? How did this transition happen for I know you're mentally slow, so it gives me hope for others. Just kidding, Thanks for sharing your experience. Okay, So here's kind of my story for those who are new to the show, and I realized there are many

that are new to the show. So, like he said, I did not grow up in a highly political household. We were just a construction family. That's all we did. We were patriotic, though there was always that aspect to it. And as I've said, the only political conversation I can ever remember having with my parents was I asked my dad once when I was I think it was kindergarten, Hey, are we Democrats or Republicans? And he said, we're Republicans. And that's the only thing he ever said. Okay, that's

the way it went. But we weren't hugely political. I have always been a history freak, even as a child, a small child, I was that nerd reading books. Read. I love to read. I've always loved to read, hoovering up as much of that stuff as I could, and join the Marines. Still not hugely political. I'm a Republican at this point, but still not hugely political. I get out of the Marines after four years, still not hugely political. I go back to work in construction. I'm working out

of town. I'm working in a place called Ajo, Arizona. Ajo, this tiny little town we're living in Tucson, Arizona. At the time, aub and I, and I have all this extra time on the road, all this time on the roads. I'm driving out of town. I've got this construction job. So I start consuming books on tape and more political radio just because it happened to be on at the time. And I start consuming this stuff, and I start to feel obligated to get involved politically. That's really what really

sparked my interest in it. I didn't like what was happening to the country. I really did not like Barack Obama, and I wanted to get involved. So I ran for Congress twice. I don't know, I'd never been in office, I'd never run for anything, but I was just mad. Turns out I wasn't bad at it. I won the Republican nomination twice for Congress. Can you believe that I almost won the actual congressional seat. It was four thousand votes separated Gabrielle Gifford's and I. So it was this

huge political run. Why after I get done losing, I went back to DC for a year, worked in politics for a year, hated living in that rude blue dump, and I moved to Texas and just kind of walked away from politics. Really completely. For the most part, I still followed it and read and stuff like that, but I was selling RVs. I was just this is my last job before I started doing this, just in the regular civilian world, trying to pay the bills and make

ends meet, same way you're doing. I kept getting angrier and angrier at really both sides, to be honest with you, at the destruction of the country, about how they would just tear through everything and spend all this money and open and do all these nakedly corrupt things. I got so angry that I couldn't freaking stand it. And then if you're asking when I came from, how I came from more of a traditional conservative to hardcore anti communists, I don't think that's a big adjustment. By the way,

I don't know that I moved that much. If you look at old videos of young Jesse running for Congress, it said the same thing back then. It was twenty years ago, well fifteen years ago, said the same stuff back then. I say, now, I haven't changed that much. But what I did wake up to was this, for the longest time I had i'd kind of gone along with the traditional notion that they're just misguided. They're just misguided. Sure, there are some bad people, but they're just naive. This

one's just misguided. They're not this. But that didn't add up after long, after a long enough time, it didn't add up that they were just misguided. So I decided to in my own life, and you can do this. I decided to test something. It's good to test things. This was my test. Okay, if I instead of thinking they're misguided, if I instead if I think they're evil and they're destroying things on purpose, does that offer a

better explanation for what I'm seeing? And as soon as I got to that point, what if I just assume that they're intentionally destroying everything they touch? As soon as I put that to the test, it was like scales fell from my eyes. It was obviously intentional. It wasn't a whoopsie, it wasn't an accident. These people really genuinely don't like America, and they really do think they're the good guys by trying to destroy it. That's how democrats think.

I'm sorry, that's how I got here. Let's move on. Hang on, it is Friday, and asked doctor Jesse Friday, and I can't believe I have to have this conversation before I get back to the emails. But Jewish producer Chris during the break, I honestly, I thought he was doing a bit for a minute, but he wasn't doing a bit. Remember during the last segment when I said the scales fell from my eyes on my life, Chris asked me what that meant? What does that mean? What

does that mean? I don't understand what it meant. Chris. Allow me to explain, because there is this thing out there that you might be unfamiliar with. And now I'm not talking about shellfish. It's called the New Testament, Chris, Okay, so now listen, I'm just explaining how it's going. There was a man by the name of Saul. No, no, no, Chris, No, you don't get to do the I know thing now. Now. Saul he didn't like Christians and he was participating in

the murder of Christians. Saul was eventually struck with blindness by God himself. And then after an encounter the quote scales fell from his eyes and he could see again. I won't go into the whole, you know, after he ran into an encounter. Well, the encounter happened. Then he got blind, and then he had to go do this thing, and then the scale, the scales fell from his eyes. How do you not know this story? Even though you're a Jew? How do you not know this story? Everyone

knows the story. All the scales in his eyes don't make any sense. Do you think that's maybe too far for God? I think that he could put whatever. I don't know what kind of biblical interpretation. Maybe he had cataracts. Okay, I don't know, Chris, I'm not the god of the universe. Maybe I can ask him one day. Okay, Jessey, you pride yourself on being the menu whisper and definer of what is good and disgusting, Yet you have no affinity for good or bad coffee. You might even think it's

possible not to tell the difference. I don't. I don't want to. I don't want you to buy COMMI coffee, But I challenge you to buy an Americano from Starbucks, basically a cup of coffee. If you can't agree with me that it's the worst cup of coffee you will ever drink, then you could probably drink battery acid. Just fine. His name is Lance. Look here's my only experience with an Americano. I don't know what it is, okay. And the last time I had to go get my car serviced,

they have a coffee machine in there. And I went up to the coffee machine. Then it was one of those big fancy ones the coffee places have where you put the cup under it and then you have to pick what kind you want on the screen. And it was all weird stuff. It was all It was all, would you like an espresso? So mulcabato about that? Did do or whatever? And I just wanted a cup of coffee. Okay,

That's all I wanted, is a cup of coffee. And I turned to the woman who was restocking the Cheetos and I said, lady, how do I just get a cup of coffee from this machine? Because there was no on my life, there was no button that just said coffee. And she said, oh, that's an Americano. And so I beat beetpeep, I pressed a button. If that's coffee, count me out. It was awful, absolutely awful. What Chris Americano

is a watered down espresso? Well it's not coffee, it's not coffee, right, that doesn't count Chris, do our espresso beans and coffee beans different beans? They're not different beans the same beans. Look at how smart I am. I'm learning so much now, there you and your stupid coffee grinders. Hey, Jesse, did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? I've wondered this too, because it wouldn't make sense that they do have belly buttons. But here's the problem with it. I don't think we're

ever gonna find out. No here, no hear me out. We get to Heaven, then, obviously God's going to be pretty understanding. I have questions. I want to know how big the dinosaurs really were. I want to like, I want to know things. Am I allowed to fly like I want? I want? I want these important things. But you know what I don't think is going to be appropriate strolling up to Eve and saying, hey, I want to see I want to say what you can't do that?

Adam will probably be right there? What Chris? What Chris has said? Who's to say? She's not still wearing leaves. She's going to be covered up, Chris. It's heaven, okay, not Marty Gras, all right, She's going to be dressed appropriately in heaven. She's gonna be covered. And now what if you pass Eve in the chow hal every morning, I'm going to wonder, and you know, and then you're gonna have to Then you look creepy. You're always looking down at Eve. There's no way to ask that of

somebody and not have it be awkward. Now, maybe because God understands everything, maybe he will understand immediately. I understand you all have questions. So I have asked Eve to come in today to do a little reveal, to see, to show you what she has and what she doesn't have. There's nothing creepy about this, but I don't want your questions to remain out there. I believe that God would maybe do that. If he doesn't, someone's going to have to ask her. And I think we all know who

that someone's going to be. It has to be me. Who else is going to do it? You're gonna do it. Chris, you would never do it. Corey would never do it. It has to be established. You know what the right move is. Here's the right move. You get to know Adam. Get to know Adam. He's probably cool. He's been around longer than anybody else. He's probably cool. He's gonna have all he's gonna be. He's gonna think of the stories Adam is gonna have. You go get to know Adam.

Maybe maybe you start a cornholl cornhole tournament with Adam. He'll be on my team and we'll just be sitting there a couple of beers, if we're allowed to do it, a couple of beers. And hey, so Adam, me and the fellas have been wondering, and there's nothing inappropriate about this at all. We just want to know. Belly button? Is even ya or an a on it? And is it an inny or an AUTI? If she has one, is it like a normal one where there's a little hole there or is there one of the kind of

weird little buttons on it? I don't know. I couldn't imagine. Why won't she have one? Chris? What do you? What do you? What are you making that face for? I don't know. We have to figure things out, Chris, it's Friday,
