The Jesse Kelly Show.
Another hour of The Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday. We have an audit coming for the Pentagon and that's gonna be a frigging doozy. If they're gonna audit everything in this government, woo boy, it's just gonna be story after story of corruption for the next four years. But this hour we're gonna talk about that whole Gaza thing.
Employment.
Some guys doing well at work once to give me some props for that, that's always lovely. Some guy's wife is afraid about Donald Trump. We're gonna talk about the strike, the workers strike, the doc workers.
All that smoke, alarm batteries, and.
So much more coming up this hour on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. The UN is very very concerned about AIDS in Africa.
We have five thousand public health worker contracts that are funded by US assistants and all of these and all regions of theop we have been terminated and ten thousand data clerks very important and it's you so that we continue monitoring and ensuring that people are on treatment so as you and age. We estimate that if PEPFA wasn't reauthorized, between twenty twenty five and twenty twenty nine and other resources were not found for the HIV response, there would
be a four hundred percent increase in eight's death. That's six point three million people, six point three million EIGHTS related death that will.
Occur in Did you know, I mean, we all kind of know some of this stuff generally, but did you know that you went to work today and the government stuck its greedy hands in your wallet and took twenty five percent of your earnings today so they could send it for age treatments in Africa. The we had this talk before. Republicans are certainly guilty of this as well.
Republicans and Democrats both have got to wake up and realize that there is something that has changed in the minds of the American public because for so long, for as long as I've been alive, really, this country has been so wealthy, in our standard of living has been so good, and we really, I know there have been some bumps in the road, of course, and in your personal life, maybe you've had some bumps in the road, but as a nation, on a macro level, as a whole,
we've just always had so much. Our standard of living was so high and things went so well. And during that time, the federal government, because we citizens were living so well, the federal governments found its foreign aid legs, if you will. It found that it could hoover up our money and send it here, and send it here there, and send it to this thing, and send it to
that thing, and it could do so without end. And the American people may raise a little bit of a fuss every now and then, but for the most part, we're not really going to dig into that or can scream or anything like that. So years and years and years, decades of the federal government figuring out ways to take our money and send it anywhere they want to send it.
As I warned before, Republicans and Democrats, the American people now they have watched their standard of living go down pretty steadily over the last few years.
We've talked about this before.
I just saw today, I think it was from Numbers USA that during Joe Biden's presidency, four point seven million jobs went to foreigners, something like six hundred thousand went to American citizens. American citizens can't find good work, American citizens are suffering from inflation. American citizens are having to
make buying decisions still in the grocery store. And so that understanding from the American public about our money going overseas, even if we didn't like it, didn't create this red.
Hot anger in any of us.
That changes now it has already changed, and the government, the politicians and the bureaucrats and the government, they'll be behind on that, and they don't realize there's no appetite for it. It's one of the things that makes the Democrat protests over the US AID cuts DOGE cuts. It's one other thing that makes them so hilarious to me. Now,
you and I both know why they're freaking out. They're freaking out because in a roundabout way, communists get their money from these government programs this cut out and that cut out and that cut out, and it ends up funding a Black Lives Matter protest on the street. So that's why Democrats are upset, But freaking out about it in front of the American people is not going to move the needle at all. I realize your fellow congressmen and senators and your fellow communist activists.
Oh, I know they're upse about USA. I get all that. But the norms and normas in the world. What are they looking at right now?
To try to take off your hyperinformed hat. I realize you're a hyper informed person, but take that off and try to just pretend you're a norm.
You're enormy.
You're looking right now at the Trump administration talking about auditing the Pentagon. Pete Hags says, auditing this. Elon Musk is auditing that. And what are they finding. They're finding government corruption and waste and they're bringing that information to the American public. They're they're they're they're bringing to the American public. If you're a norm and you're looking at that, are you upset when they bring up these list of ridiculous things that your money has gone through?
Are you? Are you upset when you hear Caroline Levitt talk about this?
So upon coming out here to the briefing room, I was made aware of the funding from USAID to media outlets including Politico, who I know has a seat in this room, and I can confirm that the more than eight million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico and the American taxpayer's dying will no longer be happening.
The Doge, Now set aside your feelings for Politico, because remember, you're a norm Does the American voter the norm the normy. Does he like or hate that eight million dollars of his money has gone towards any newspaper, any publication of any kind. Is that a winner for him?
He hates that.
Every voter, every taxpayer hates that. Democrats are now defending that publicly and loudly. They're acting like it's the end of the world, that we're not going to send AIDS medication to Africa anymore, and instead we have this collective Democrat freak out. What does this look like to the normies when the Trump government is cutting out ridiculousness and this is the Democrat response is a nothing the.
Baby godless billionaire.
Hey, hey ho ho, Elon must has got to go. We will much shut up, we will stand up, we will speak up.
There's Musk faky hears. We have got to tell Elon Musk nobody.
Elected jo We are gonna fight this fight. Yeah, Jesse, you're right up my alley. Next time you're in Salt Lake, look me up. I've been in Israel many times. I love Trump's idea about developing it. I've stayed at many four seasons in the Middle East, and I've bet four seasons Ritz Carlton, all the great hotels would love to have an awesome beachfront property. The Mediterranean right there is absolutely beautiful, so on, so forth.
He said.
I took my twelve year old on a coming of age trip there and it was absolutely epic. Man, that's freaking cool. I got to take my boys there too. That's cool. Like I said, keep up the good work, so on and so forth. Okay, so I'm not gonna dwell on this, but I thought about that. I've been thinking thinking about this Gaza thing, and at this point in time, like I said, I think Trump has earned the benefit of the doubt so far, at least over the first
few weeks, really really doing well. I mean, got Canada in line, got Mexico in line. He's getting people in line. It sounds like Trump has announced the plan is to remove the Palestinians from Gaza and then develop it, turn it into which it would. Obviously it would really only be good for a vacation spot, but it could be a wonderful vacation spot. Now, let me ask you something. It just honestly asking you're picturing the Four Seasons Gaza. It's kind of funny, but it's not outside of the
realm of possibility. You took all those people in Gaza and you shipped them because they got to go somewhere. You shipped them to Jordan. You ship them to Egypt. They're talking to Ireland. They're trying to ship these people all over the place. Do you think they'll stop being radicalized if they go to Egypt or are they going to end up in a camp or some sort of a ghetto in Egypt where it's poor and it's miserable. Okay, so let's just assume. Let's assume they're going to be radicalized.
Let's assume you're a Palestinian who's been removed from Gaza and you've been getting angry or in angry, or in angry or in Egypt. And five years from now, you pull up your smartphone and you see there's a grand opening of the new Four Seasons right on the beach and what you consider to be your rightful homeland. How long until one of those dirt balls parks a truck bomb in front of one of those hotels? Have you
considered what a security nightmare that would be. You would have to lock that place down with the most draconian laws in the world. And even then, I don't look just telling you it's not gonna stop being a hotbed because you built the four seasons. All right, let's move on. Let's talk about that strike, the doc workers strike, and more before it is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, A wonderful Friday.
I can't get the smile off my face. Everything is going so well.
Trump got up today with Japan's big cheese, announced the trillion dollars coming our way, jobs coming our way.
It's looking good out here, Jesse.
I was listening back in October you were discussing the upcoming strike by the dock workers. I know there was a pause in the strike that was supposed to be over in January. I haven't heard any updates. Wondered if you heard anything lately, says his name is Mike. Okay, So here's what's going on with the doc worker stuff. The remember there were two big challenges, big challenges, And
let me remind you that it's instinctively. If you're on the right, instinctively you are going to be against unions. I understand that. So whenever you see there's going to be the Long Shorman Union they're gonna go on strike, your instinct is going to be to side against them every time. But remember this, we had all those experts on. We talked about this extensively, you and I. It's not
necessarily a story where there are good guys and bad guys. Yes, they had that member, that big meathead who runs the union. He ran his fat mouth off right off the bat and made them look like the bad guys, but they're not necessarily the bad guys. What's happened is for years and years and years. Remember there is a Western and there's an Eastern Union. The Eastern Union has not been paid what the Western Union has been paid. That was
a huge gripe, but maybe the biggest gripe. And there are all kinds of different entities involved here shipping into these government entities. But whatever the reason, the Eastern Union has not kept pace with the Western union's pay scale. That was one of the two major gripes. The second major gripe was about automation. Now that brings us to the issue. Trump is the most pro union president we've had in years.
Decades.
Honestly, really, again, like I've said, he's very much a Teddy Roosevelt Republican.
He's not new.
It's back to what the Republican Party was at one point in time, very much a pro union guy. You remember the Teamsters Union. Famously, they didn't even endorse during the presidential campaign. That never happens. The Teamsters Union always goes Democrat. And this time of them abstaining is them endorsing the Republican. That's as close as they're going to come to endorse the Republican. So again, Trump is going to lean that way. He's always been that type of guy.
He's going to lean that way. The last I talked to somebody, because I actually talked to a few people who are.
In that union as a matter of fact, just blue call of the dudes.
The pay thing was something that was going to get worked out, and they always thought it was going to get worked out eventually. When you're in these kind of negotiations with a bunch of big entities, how it works is you don't get every dime you're looking for, but you do. This guy gives up a pound of his flesh, and this guy gives up a pound of his flesh, and you get close enough to the number you want, and everyone gets kind of made whole, and you sign
off on it, believe it or not. The money, oftentimes in these things is the easy part of it. The part that won't be easy is this part right here, the automation part of it. This this gets into a very interesting conversation because it applies to much more than just a union or the docs, or it applies to just humanity. Really, if you're an employer, if you're a company, your job is to make money. That's your job. That's
the purpose of the company. You as an individual, hopefully you have a higher calling of some kind than that, but the purpose of the company is to make money. And for a company, any company, large or small, the local mom and pop sandwich shop or some gigantic shipping company, no matter what, you have to look at what's coming in and what's going out, and labor costs are always costs that you're trying to figure out how to reduce. You just are hey, do we have do we have
too many employees? If we have four employees at the sandwich shop, could we get.
By with three?
It'd be nice to if you lose the having to pay that other money out, that's more money coming in. That's just basic business. You don't like hearing that when you're one of the employees. I'm an employee just like you are. But that's the truth, and that's why I've always told you. In fact, we're going to get to this employment stuff. That's why I've always told you, Really, the number one rule for him being an employee is to make sure your talent outweighs your baggage. Because you're
manager the owner of your business. No matter who he or she happens to be, they are constantly looking for a way to reduce the labor costs. And when they get to you and think about you, what you don't want is them to think, oh, I could really do without Bob. What you want them to think is, gosh, man, Bob's pretty dynamite. Well he's not going anywhere. I can't live without him. That's what it's what you want them to say. So anyway, employers want to reduce costs loading
unloading ships. I'm the furthest thing from an expert. I do know some friends that are extreme experts on it.
I actually have.
I'm good friends with neighbors with one of the guys who handles a lot of the ship piloting down in Galveston at the port. So I know a lot of friends who know a lot I do not, but I know a lot who do. It's a complicated process getting those ships in, getting them docked, getting them unloaded, then loading them back up again, and it's labor intensive. It takes a lot of guys, a lot of organization to get it done right.
Companies want to.
Move to automation as much as possible for the cost savings, for the you know, the computer you programmed to do what that guy used to do. He never calls in sick. Right, the automation is going to be an issue. It is because guys understandably don't want to be automated out of their jobs. Companies understandably want to automate if they can. This is a conflict that will go well beyond some union.
This is one of the conflicts of our time. Technology crowding employees out, that's where it sits, and that's going to be a mountain to climb. But there are so many good employees out there looking for work. They're all on ZipRecruiter they're waiting for you. If you're an employee, you know where you are. There's a reason employers prefer ZipRecruiter the most. Why would you prefer that? Because the
good employees are sitting there waiting for you. You don't have to wait a week, you don't have to wait a month. Eighty percent of the employers who post on ZipRecruiter get.
A good candidate the first day. You're just starting your account away from getting somebody good.
ZipRecruiter dot com slash jesse. Let you try it for free. ZipRecruiter dot com slash jesse.
That's where the good people are.
So if you haven't automated them out, you can go find some good ones at ZipRecruiter dot com slash jesse. All Right, this guy's wife is terrified about Trump. Talk about smoke alarms, positions of power in the government. How do we get them?
Hang on?
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Friday. Remember if you miss any part of the show, you can download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes, churning through the ask doctor Jesse questions today.
Here's a nice.
Little tidbit here from wiki leaks. Nine out of ten USA dollars spent in twenty twenty two went to contractors, mostly.
In the DC area.
Less than one in ten went to frontline groups. Curious what that looks like, Allow me to read this for you. According to the June twenty twenty three report, nearly nine out of every ten dollars that USA spent in the twenty twenty two fiscal year went to its international contracting partners, most of which are based in or around the Washington, DC area. Just one in ten went to frontline local groups,
and maybe even less than that. According to our calculations to fifty one billion dollars in USA tracked by the Foreign Assistance dot gov and fiscal year twenty twenty, about forty percent was spent by the US government to buy goods and pay salaries. Another twenty percent was administered by US based firms and nonprofits. A little more than thirty percent went to so on and so forth. Okay, so let me explain how this works. I want you to
think about this geographically. So picture Washington, DC on your if you've never been there. There's something that always hits me when I go to Washington, DC. My first time I ever went was in I think it was eight. It was in that terrible recession, the eight recession. And you remember what the oweight recession was like if you're old enough, where everything was closing, strip malls that had normally been full were emptied. It was just it was
a weird, really really terrible economic time. No matter where you went, things were rough. You could tell things were rough financially. I had to go back there because I was running for Congress, and I, like I said, I'd never been to Washington DC. I went back to Washington DC, and I was floored, slashed, disgusted by how brand spanking new everything was, with brand spanking new buildings being thrown up everywhere. There was a square inch you could tell.
As the rest of the country suffered, Washington d C. Was dripping with money. There's just money everywhere. What Chris Chris said, isn't their crime rate really high? Uh? Yeah, I'll get to that story in a moment. Yes, their crime rate is extremely high, but unbelievable amounts of money. And you walk in and if you're aware at all of what's going on, you're just gross out because you know that your money, that's taxpayer money. So back to this USAID four and eight thing. I want you to
think about Washington DC geographically. Just think about it like a dot on a piece of paper. Now, they say USAID is about foreign spending. We need all this money to cure AIDS in South Africa. And we're told this over and over again. But do yourself a favor, do a little citizen journalism. You don't have to, but you can just picture this. Go look at some of the largest recipients of US AID funding. Look up their buildings in Washington DC. What happens is, let's say there are
ten of them. This is just for the sake of our argument. To understand it. There are ten of these groups. Well, these groups receive millions and millions, really frankly billions of dollars in the federal government. They get this money through lobbying and corruption. They'll hire this congress woman's cousin. And you understand how all this works. Well, these ten entities they put up these gigantic, beautiful office buildings in Washington DC.
That's where they handle their lobbying, that's where they handle the money laundering. And the money goes from Washington d C. Into one of the big complexes in DC, and of course it goes there and they're told everyone says, why no, no, no, no, no, We're just this is just a pass through building we have here. We're gonna send this money to Ukraine as soon as you send it to me.
Just send us.
All the money and then will disperse it to buy contraceptives for the Taliban. You just send us the money. But just like everything else in Washington, DC, it's not a pass.
Through it all.
You send them one hundred dollars to that DC building, thinking at least ninety nine of that hundred is gonna go to cure age in South Africa. But the truth is that building, with generous salaries and other perks, they absorb all that money and they disperse maybe a dollar over to Africa. And when you threaten to cut off funding, they start screaming, what.
About the African babies?
Oh? But really, it's just a gigantic slush fund. Is ex exactly how it works. That's how Washington DC corruption works. And remember US eight is just the hot thing in the news. Trump came out earlier today and talked about auditing the IRS, talking about auditing the Pentagon, USAID is the tip. As I told you, it's just the tip. This gets worse from here. You think you think an audit of fifty billion dollar usaid is bad, wait til they get to the United States Military.
It's not an accident.
The Pentagon has failed audits.
Several years running.
They fail these audits because, well, the system I just laid out.
Takes place there too.
You have these entities that hoover up the money, keep most of it for themselves, distribute some to friends, members, and then a pittance actually gets to where it's.
Supposed to go. It's a very very, very ugly system.
And we're we're looking, we're watching as it's all laid bare in front of us right now. Dear Jesse, why do smoke alarm batteries always die at three am? They don't. It's just that's the only time they make an impact on you. Everyone says that, I've said it before myself. Why is it always in the middle of the night.
It's not always in the middle of the night. I've changed a million smoke batteries during the day, but it's the middle of the night that it becomes a nightmarish hell because you wake up and it's beeping, and then you have to sit there and make that decision. You're trying to stay asleep, and you're trying to decide am I going to be able to sleep through this?
Can I sleep through it? Was?
That was one beep? Is it going to beep again? What if it takes a long time to beep again? Maybe I'll be back asleep. I bet I can tough this out. And then you lay there for twenty thirty minutes. Then you start freaking yourself out. Then it does beep again. Now, so now you're laying there all warm and snugly under the covers, but you know, you know, at this point in time, you must get up. You must get up.
You're gonna have to go to the garage. You're gonna have to grab a ladder or grab a chair to stand on. You're gonna have to go fishing for batteries. You hope you have the batteries. Plus you probably have those god forsaken smoke detectors. I know I do in my house. I need to probably update those the garbage ones where the second you take the battery out it starts going crazy, and then the ones I have in my house, does this sound like I've been through this before.
The ones I have in my house. Now, remember this is the middle of the night. You're freaking exhausted. You just want to go back to sleep. The ones I have. When you put the battery in, that's square twelve LT, the square twelve volt batteries.
You put that in.
The second you slide that battery slot back into it, it goes this super super long, and of course you're right beside it, your face is right by it. So now your ear drums are blown out. And in my house. To make this even worse, I assume this is calmon. Every firefighter listening is gonna start screaming at me right now.
That's fine.
You can email me your hate Jesse at jesse kellyshow dot com. In my house, maybe they all work like this, the smoke of arms. They communicate with each other. So if mine goes off in the bedroom that was the last one we had to do a course middle of the night. As soon as that beep starts cooking off, it communicates to all the others and the entire house is going crazy. Now the boys are all awake. Fred is awake, not that he's good for anything at all.
It is a complete and utter disaster. But it happens during the day. We just don't remember that. All right, somebody wants to know about seeking out these positions of power the communists seem to do. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, A wonderful Friday.
Remember we're still here, We're live.
You can email us Jesse at jess see kellyshow dot com. I do want to address something that happened. I was gonna kind of let it go. I was gonna talk about it on the show, but I think it's important enough that I just changed my mind and I'm gonna bring it up. There was a guy. I'm not gonna go into the details of it, but Elon Musk. Obviously he has a bunch of young, hot shot computer nerds. They're the ones doing all these audits. They're the ones
doing all these doge things, finding all the corruption stuff. Well, one of them resigned. Well woke up this morning we saw the news the guy had resigned. Wait what why the walls. No, I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say it's nickname, Chris, I'm not gonna say it. Definitely not gonna say it.
On the radio.
But it turns out the Wall Street Journal had hired a reporter who she digs up dirt on people on people on the right. Don't get wrong, she's a communist, digs up dirt for people on the right. Dug up some old social media posts this guy had put up where he was dogging on Indians, people from India, India, this, and and he had a bunch of, you know, racist things to say about people in India.
Not stuff that you really want to say.
But but he had some things to say when he was younger. He resigns because of the scandal. Elon Musk starts to get some pushback for this. In fact, the right, maybe you even participated in it, started to speak up and speak out and say no, no, absolutely not. Now let's pause for a moment. Why would the right step up and defend this? Because you don't want to be making comments like that really ever, But what why step
up and defend it? Well, it's just like we used to talk about talk about during the Saint George Floyd protests. Even if you are the most if you're the biggest Confederate hater in the world, either or Nazis, which is ridiculous. But even if that's what you are, you should still figure out why you need to defend that Robert E. Lee statue with all of your might. And the reason is not that you love Robert E.
Lee.
The reason although I do. But the reason is not that you love Robert E.
Lee. The reason you defend the Robert E.
Lee statue is you understand why the communists want to tear it down, what the motivation actually is. They don't want to tear down that statue of Nathan Bedford Forest because he was a horrible racist who hated black people and pretty much started the KKK. Democrats, communists don't care about that at all. They started the KKK, don't care about that. They want to tear down that statue because they're trying to destroy the history of the country those
same way communists have always done. Stalin, renamed the roads, renamed entire cities. Now did all this. This is what communists do, tear apart your history so they can write your future for you.
That's why you defend this state. You of Robert E. Lee no matter what.
Back to this guy who got fired, it's not that you defend him because you love that he was dogging on Indians. You defend him because you recognize what the communists are doing. They want this stuff to stop, They want the exposure of their corrupt deeds to stop. They hired a hatchet man, a hatchet woman, I should say, they hired a hatchet woman to dig up dirt on one of these guys to get him fired, to smear the whole thing. You have to be sharp enough to
recognize that's what's happening. And then and this is what the GOP has always lacked. Then you have to be strong enough to say, you know what, No, actually, no, he's not resigning. No, we're not firing him. I understand what you're doing, Communist, and I will not allow you.
To succeed with it.
So elon Musk because you were saying these things to him, and now because of social media, we have access to people who have power. Because so many people were saying these things to him, he woke up this morning. Kind of had to change your heart, he said, he should I hire this guy back, and then God love him. Jd Vance, Vice President of the United States of America, publicly comes out Jade Vance's wife is Indian. Jd Vance publicly comes out and says, what, we can't do this anymore,
this ridiculous canceling people's stuff. There was a young guy made some mistakes, said some dumb things online.
Forgive and let the man.
Go back to work. Then Trump gets asked about it in a press conference today. I think it was Peter Deucy. I don't have the audio, but I think it was Peter Deucy got up and asked him, and he said, hey, Trump. Jd Vance came out and said he wants this guy rehired.
What do you think? And Trump said, dah, I agree, hire the guy back. Now.
This may seem like an unimportant story, and this reason I didn't open up the show with it. We're at the end of our two. It may seem like an unimportant story, this one individual, it is relatively unimportant on a big on a large enough scale, but the mindset change of the right is super important.
It is everything.
Communist tactics are only effective if you allow them to be effective. The reason the Communists had been running these ops on the right forever is because it works. It's because it was always worked. You remember Low T James Langford, Naked Kendall, James Langford in the wake of the Saint George Floyd protests. You had all these paid protests all around the country with the animals in the streets, and then they started decided, they started changing the name of
military bases. And of course anyone, I know you recognized it. Anyone with eyes could see what was happening. Clearly a communist op was happening.
But of course low T. Langford runs to the news.
Well, I mean, I really do think we should change the name a military basis. Let's just give the mouse a little cookie. I'm sure he won't ask for a glass of milk afterwards. That kind of mentality has killed us for years, and the communists have thrived on that mentality forever. Hey, hey, let's just let's expose some ugly tweet this guy put out when he was fifteen years old.
Then will stop him from hurting us? And the Right they're so stupid they'll go for it every time. Let's use their values against them.
But today, what we're seeing now is a mindset change where the Right has finally woken up. And this is not all credit to Trump and Vance and these guys. It, sir, helps having them lead, But this is you too, this is this is I'm seeing it everywhere, which is normal.
People.
The right has finally woken up and started recognizing why the Commune is doing what he's doing. And as soon as we started recognizing that, we started getting strong enough to say, you know what, no, up yours, No, you cannot have this scalp. We deny it to you.
