Speaker 1

The Jesse Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a wonderful Wednesday, Hooper, and I'm going to look, I'm gonna talk about the heavy stuff here in the open in a minute. I'm warning you right now, I'm gonna do that. And then we are moving on and we're gonna do our Thanksgiving show and talk about things we're thankful for. And yes we'll hit on other political things and laugh about the Crown Act and do that, but we're gonna talk about things we're thankful for. Talk about the things

you're thankful for. This is a time to celebrate things and be grateful to God for the blessings large and small we all have in our lives. And that's what this show is going to be. But I sadly cannot do that right away as was my intention. My intention was going to immediately start talking about Thanksgiving and being thankful. But we are going to talk briefly, just for a couple of minutes about what happened in Washington, d C. What what Chris three hours ago? Two three hours ago?

I would say, in case you are not aware, you know the National Guard was in d C. Trump deployed them to d C. Because he technically has federal control over DC, so you can do that, and they can. They can essentially be the cops of DC if he wants them to be. And a couple National Guard troops got gunned down in d C a few hours ago, the night before Thanksgiving. I'm going to save most of my political commentary before we talk about anything else. I want to say, now is the time to pray. And no,

we're not doing any thoughts in prayers. No, now is the time pray for that family. There is a God, He is real, He listens, and there is a family right now too. Families the night before Thanksgiving they got a phone call, maybe even a knock at the door. And can you even imagine can you even imagine the heartbreak, the anguish. You know who's not thinking about turkey and stuffing? Right now? Two National Guard families, their worst nightmare has

come home and they need your prayer. They need it badly. Please look, I don't care if you turn off the show. Turn off the show. That prayer you're going to say

is more important than this show. I promise you that bow your head, close your eyes if you're not driving, and say a prayer of comfort for those families they needed and they freaking deserve it all right now, now that we have prayed, I keep saying that we have become a culture of assassination, that more people will die, And it doesn't take any kind of a super genius to see what has happened. It's not hard. What has happened is we have a significant percentage of the American

people are now mentally ill. Probably many are demonic as well. And when you combine that with the never ending rhetoric of our politicians on the left, this apocalyptic rhetoric, this, you know, the the Nazi Hitler rhetoric, those two things combined are going to be combustible. They're going to be combustible. I've told you before, I don't want you to ever commit acts of violence. I don't want to commit any more acts of violence in my life. I hope I've

done the last of my violence. But if I were to say, if I were to sit here right in front of Chris and Corey and tell them I want you to go find a Democrat and punch them in the face, I probably could say that privately to Chris and Corey, because they're both solid human beings and family men, and they're not going to do it. But I can't sit and say that to the radio audience because there might be somebody listening right now who's enough of a nutball that there's a chance he goes and does it,

and then I would feel responsible for that. Now that's you, not not you. I'm not worried about you in particular, but someone out there. Now, think about how completely mentally broken and soulless the base of the Democrat Party is, with all the endless LGBTQ filth and this and that, broken, demonic, angry, bitter, and then every day, day after day, you're tuning into whatever garbage you happy to listen to on the left, and you hear this kind of crowd.

Speaker 2

We believe that the National Guard and the military occupation is the first step into a rounding black people up and putting them in detainment camps here in Washington, DC and around the United States of America.

Speaker 1

Now that doesn't move you to action, Praise God, But you're not a mentally ill, demonic Democrat freak. How many of those people do you have to say that stuff too before they act? This stuff is not done. This is going to be how we live now, because we first mentally broke so many people, and then we speak to them like this. I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be. People need to start taking to the streets. This is a dictator. You know.

Speaker 3

There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives.

Speaker 4

Enemies of the state, show me where it says that protests was supposed to be polite and peaceful.

Speaker 5

Do something about your dad's immigration practices effectless.

Speaker 1

Cone they go low, We can't.

Speaker 5

How do you resist the temptation to run up and bring her neck?

Speaker 2

Biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalize to the right.

Speaker 5

I thought he should have punched him in the face, I said, even if you lost, he insulted your wife's on the slator and called Mexican's rapist immersed. He said, well, what do you think I should have done?

Speaker 2

So?

Speaker 5

I think you should punsed him in the face and then gotten out of the race. You would have been a hero. I'd like to punch him in the face, I said, if we're in high school, I'd take you behind the gym and beat the hell out of.

Speaker 1

Him, punch some people in the face.

Speaker 5

When was the last time an actor assassinator of a president.

Speaker 1

They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. And that's a fact. Where is John Wilkes booth when you need?

Speaker 3

I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House?

Speaker 1

How many people have to hear that before you find one who acts on that? Speaking specifically about the National Guard, remember United States Senator Melissa Slotkin on ABC Coast to Coast ABC Shoot That's International, said this, let's talk right now. Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?

Speaker 3

To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal, but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related to Venice.

Speaker 1

Hey, these illegal orders and what about the National Guard? Hey, Aliska, Hey, Alissa, what are you worried about?

Speaker 3

Look at these videos coming out of places like Chicago. It makes me incredibly nervous that we're about to see people in law enforcement, people in uniform, military, get nervous, get stressed, shoot at American civilians. It is very, a very very stressful situation for these law enforcement and for the communities on the ground. So it was basically a warning to say, like if you're asked to do something, particularly against American citizens.

Speaker 1

This endless, relentless communist rhetoric from the elite communists is interpreted by the street animals as orders. You don't interpret things that your politicians say as orders, because you're a normal human being. But if you've spent any time around mentally ill people, they don't hear things like you hear things. They don't interpret things like you interpret things. You take somebody who's bitter, maybe has nothing to live for, maybe

a religious motivation of some kind mixed in there. He takes on drugs, almost always on some sort of drug, be them legal drugs or otherwise. And you tell that person every single day, Nazi hitler, Nazi hitler, bringing back the slave patrols, Nazi Hitler, Nazi Hitler. That person might just wake up one day thinking they're the good guy, pick up a weapon and go do something awful. And I am sorry to tell you it's not going to stop. It's not going to change. Democrats didn't stop talking this

way after Steve's galise was gone down. They didn't stop talking this way after Donald Trump was shot in the head, they didn't stop talking this way after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. And they're not going to stop talking this way tomorrow because they want these things to happen. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Wednesday. I know that's some terrible news we just covered. We're gonna set that aside.

I felt obligated to talk about it. But this is mainly going to be as I told you, it was a show about giving thanks, a Thanksgiving show, your stories about giving thanks. And yes, there are things we're going to touch on. You know, we're gonna touch on the thing that Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania just passed about hair freedom, the Crown Act. We're going to talk about some ridiculous things during the show, and of course we're gonna get

to BK and Julie Kelly and talk Thanksgiving things. But I wanted this really to be about you, and the reason the reason I wanted to do this show is we all have times in our life. I most definitely have had many where we lack gratitude because life is hard, because we're going through horrible things, the jobless, the disease, or you're single or just there are so many hard things that come in this life, and in those moments,

it's easy to feel sorry for yourself. I have and it's easy to think I have nothing to be thankful for. But when you hear the stories from other people, it reminds you you're not alone. It reminds you there are things to be grateful for, things large and small. Let's deal this tonight. This is a show about gratitude, gratitude to God for the things we have. Hey, Jesse, this Thanksgiving, our family is deeply grateful that our oldest son, our

nineteen year old joy Boy, is alive. In June, he miraculously survived a horrific motorcycle accident that caused massive internal bleeding. We were told eighty five percent chance he would not survive. He lost the kidney and was paralyzed from the waist down. For two weeks. We didn't know if our baby would live, although he spent eighty days away from home fighting to get strong enough to return. We don't know why this happened. Many times we all have moments of sadness and anger.

With our new normal, but the alternative of him not being with us anymore is unthinkable, and we know God has big plans for him. We're so thankful that today, just five months later, he is home and thriving in his recovery in rehab and steal our joy boy, Praise God, Thank you for a fun and uplifting show. Happy Thanksgiving. Think about that, Think about that moment as a parent.

Have one son who's driving, another who's learning and just sucks at it because he's learning, like it's not his fault. He'll end up being a fine driver, But who's good at it? When you start out right you don't know how to break out to turn it, and you think about it. I try not to dwell on it, and we let them go fly if they decide today we send them to the grocery store on their own obbs.

They're baking all the stuff for Thanksgiving, and she was like, you always are short a couple things in the kitchen because she's baking for this and baking for that. Boys go to the store, here's your list, and it goes through your head. It just flashes. You don't want to do I want to just flashes, man there's a lot of idiots out there, a lot of people don't know what they're doing, a lot of drunks, a lot of drugged out people, women on the road. You never know

what might happen. What if you get that call, get to the hospital, what if you get that call. That's a wonderful story. I pray for that family. Glad he survived. Keep churning and burning, Jesse. I survived a ruptured brain aneurysm over the summer with no follow on issues so far. I still get to enjoy my home, family and my two adorable little buddies and watch them grow. Between that and still hearing everyone make fun of your teeny weeny hands,

I can't ask for anything more. Well, a hand thing is not nice, but I won't go into the details of it because it's personal and it's still very fresh. Recently, there is a family in our lives where the father just passed on in his thirties, young kids. And you think about these stories of hey diagnose with pancreatic cancer, gone in six months, brain aneurysm gone, and it does remind you that every day is a blessing. And I know that's the most cliche thing in the world. Isn't

it every day above grounds a good day? I've said it myself a million times, But doesn't that sound so lame when you're sitting there on the side of the road. You got laid off last week, you can't pay the bills, you just got a flat tire, you know you probably can't even afford to replace it. And then you hear somebody say to you, every day is a blessing. Don't you just want to punch him in the face. It doesn't feel like a blessing. This day sucks, but it

really really is. Any moment for any of us could be the last. If you're still here breathing the air, that's a good day. Think about Look, think about that story we just talked about from DC. Think about that how terrible that is. Think about the people who now won't be home for Thanksgiving. Any day, any moment could

be my last day on earth. I might die right now, might get my car, are on the way home and somebody who gets a little too hammered gets behind the wheel, blows the red light, and too bad, So sad tomorrow. HiT's a fill in host. Oh, actually it'll be a feeling host. Anyways, it's Thanksgiving, but Monday you're banking on

me coming back. It's a fill in host and you find out on the internets and Jesse's no longer with us could easily happen, But Jesse Kelly show on a fantastic Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, before we gather with friends, family, whoever you're gathering with tomorrow, and we give thanks to God for our endless, endless blessings. I'm so grateful. I'm not a Democrat. I think about this sometimes. It's not just the bitterness and anger, the street animals and the

demonic nature of the whole kind of leftist capal. I think about being a Democrat politician and the humiliation ritual you have to endure to placate all the completely bonkers wings of the Democrat Party, the things you have to do. For instance, of Eric Swallwell, he's that loser dork congressman from California. He's running for governor, and audience member asks him about Tranny's this We'll get back to Pennsylvania in

a minute and listen to listen to his answer. He knows he can't answer to the.

Speaker 4

Issue of men men men in women's faces harassing. You said it wasn't a thing. Fourteen times you said it wasn't a thing. So I need you to show all the women of California that you're gonna protect us. Are they gonna be men allowed in the women's room anymore?

Speaker 1

We need to know answers straight.

Speaker 4

Are there gonna be women? Are you against men? And women's locker rooms and sports? That's all you need to answering.

Speaker 1

I know it's happening all of your kids. You can't. I'll let him keep going. He can't answer it. Think about not being, think about being so beholden to insane, sick, demanded, freak demented freaks that you can't answer this question, American and twenty five men. You got it, Biggs. Wouldn't it be exhausting? Josh Shapiro is the governor of Pennsylvania. He signed I can't even get it out. You can't even get it out. He signed a bill yesterday. It was

a hair freedom bill. I'll just I'll let him go ahead and say.

Speaker 6

It today when I sign the Crown Act into law.

Speaker 1

Sorry, I still can't let him keep going the Crown Act.

Speaker 6

Today. When I sign the Crown Act into law.

Speaker 1

That will be.

Speaker 6

That will be the next step in making good on that promise of bringing about real freedom for all Pennsylvanians. Look, we know that this is an issue that disproportionately affects black Pennsylvanians who wear their hair and protective styles like locks and natural braids or twists, and it can manifest itself in a number of different ways, from someone getting fired simply because of how they look, or maybe someone getting passed over for a job because of the way

they wear their hair. That's unacceptable, and in a moment, it will be illegal.

Speaker 1

The Crown Act, the crowd acted, and of course it's going to be a disaster, and of course they had to have the activist step up.

Speaker 4

Now, hair discrimination is part of the protected class of race, which is NPA Human Relations at they could call their statewide pres Human Relations Commission and are.

Speaker 3

Also satellite off offices all across the state.

Speaker 1

The Crown Act just you know, and you know, here's the thing, you know, Josh Shapiro, you know the second this issue came before him, because it came before him a long time before he had to sign the Act. You know, internally, at least he went, oh, gosh, what are you? What are you? We have to do? Do we? And you know I probably even asked someone close to him, is this something we have to do? And somebody told him, listen, Governor, the fake civil rights movement has to be placated, okay,

and we're gonna call it the Crown Act. And it's gonna be embarrassing and you're gonna have to get up there and you're gonna have to pretend that black people don't get jobs because of dreadlocks. And I'm sorry, but in order to keep the Democrat coalition together and gets you elected governor again, this is something we have to do. And you know, whether it was inside or on the outside, and you know he's thinking to himself, oh my freaking goodness, please, no,

is there any other way? And someone told him, Governor, no, this is no other way. You have to sign the Crown Act. Hey, Bronco, I was listening to your discussion about people resigning from Congress. One thing I'll never understand is why these individuals aren't ashamed to make it about them. If somebody has voted in for two years, they have no right to bail out. Early Mark Green of Tennessee is an example. If you run, you shouldn't dare. Where's

the sense of duty? Jesse. I'll just say again, I'll repeat again what I said yesterday. When somebody on the right resigns suddenly or leaves the movement suddenly. And this is not just about your Marjorie Taylor Green leaving. It's really not, because it happens all the time. Remember all the all the resignations from Trump's White House, and remember all that. The only way to tell the genuineness. And I don't know if that's a word, but I went

to community college. The genuineness of the reasons they left. It's not by what they say. It's not by what their fans say. It's not by what their haters say. It's not by the public statements they put out. The only way you can tell how genuine someone is when they step up and say I'm leaving. There is no more America first, America's finished, the Republican Party's over. I quit. The only way you can tell how genuine that is

is by what comes after? Right? What comes after? Meaning this, if I step up right now and I tell you our two party system is broken, the Republican Party can't possibly be fixed. I don't believe anyone wants to save America. So I've had enough and I'm resigning from Congress. I don't want to stay in this fight anymore. I am out. Okay, maybe you're yelling at me, maybe you're cheering. Okay. If I do that, and then you don't hear from me anymore,

I go back to the private sector. I essentially retire from the public eye. Then, whether you love me or hate me, what I said was probably really genuine. But if I make that same statement, Republican Party can't be saved. I resign. I don't want to be in Congress anymore. And two weeks later, it's announced that I've just signed a multimillion dollar deal with the view to take a steaming dump on Republicans every single day. Then it wasn't genuine at all. It was just a big scam because

I found a better deal to make money. And that's how you remember all the resignations from Trump's White House, some of them, some of them actually did just resign and kind of moved on. Maybe they stayed in politics, but quietly moved on to this think tank or this

pack or something like that. And then some of them immediately had a book published somehow it was already written, had a book published in a week, and they were on MSNBC and CNN every single night telling everybody that Donald Trump was the Antichrist and the world was going to come to an end. And that told you all you needed to know. I'm not saying this about recent resignations. This is one of these lessons we have to learn forever,

because forever we will run into this. Forever, as long as you and I are involved in politics, there will be people who will step up and make a public spectacle about being out. I'm leaving. I don't like this, I quit, I retire. And the only way you can tell how genuine they are is what comes next, not

what they say. What comes next. Your liberal aunt Peggy comes to you and tells you that she's finally had enough of being obese and she wants to lose one hundred and fifty pounds so she can get down to three hundred. Is she going to improve her diet? Is she gonna start working out? If not, she didn't mean it. The proof is in the pudding. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wonderful Wednesday. Remember you can still email us. We are live tonight Jesse at jesse kellyshow

dot com. Chris, that was Genesis? That was really weird? What song was that? It was awful? What was that? I actually like Genesis too, but I felt like I was on drugs. Let's do some more thankful emails, Jesse oh Man. This is a tough one. This past summer. My wife lost her mom. Her father is terminally ill. My mom's health is critical and we don't think she'll be able to make it to Christmas. Our oldest daughter is waiting to see an oncology to confirm or rule

out leukemia or some rare blood infection. After driving six hours round trip to spend Thanksgiving with my father in law, I'll be making the thirteen hour drive home to see my mom for what will be her last Thanksgiving holiday. I'm thankful that our oldest daughter will be making this a father daughter trip and we can discuss not only her illness, but life in general and how short and

sweet it can be. I'm thankful that I'll hopefully get one last opportunity to sit with my mom, make some videos for our grandson, and hold her and tell her how much of an inspiration she is and how much I love her one last time. It's going to be a tough path to walk this holiday season. But what I'm thankful for the most is that the Good Lord doesn't let us walk it alone. I have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Jesse, Chris and Corey, Thanks for all you do. Brings it home, huh,

even and all that thankful thankful for something. There is something for everybody to be thankful for, and we need to remember it, all right. We need to remember it even in the darkest times. You're out of work, you're broke, everyone's sick, people were dying. Maybe you're dying. Maybe you're listening to me right now, and you're dying, and it's hard to sit there and think, what in the world should I be thankful for. I'm about to leave this life.

There's still things you can be thankful for. You had one. So many people didn't you had one, Jesse. This year, I'm grateful for the happiness and health of my children, my employment, and my daughter in my baptisms a few months a few months ago. How about that, praist Jesus. I'm also thankful for conservative podcasts like yours. I listen to many many, but yours is the best mixture of hard facts and random adhd rants. I don't go on random adhd rants? Do I do that? Chris? What does

that mean? I do not What the sauce rant from last night that wasn't adhd? I care. I have always had a heart for oppressed peoples. I always have for people who are discriminated against. What Chris, That's exactly right, Jewish producer. Christians had a brilliant idea. You know how they have the Crown Act in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 6

Day when I sign the Crown Act into law, that will be that will be the next step in making good on that promise of bringing about real freedom for all Pennsylvanians. Look, we know that this is an issue the dish.

Speaker 1

Hear me out. I'm just doing this live, so we're just gonna have to riff on this. They have the Crown Act. What if we sauce people get the Cream Act? No, Chris, then wait, what the Cream Act? We I deserve my cream. You deserve your cream. You ordered the cream, the waitress didn't bring it. You have no legal recourse. You know you're not even going to get your money back because the cream will come magically about a half a second after you're done. Where's your Justice? Where's My Justice? The

Cream Act? Chris, I like it. We might, we might workshop the name a little. I'm not sure if I need it, but I don't even know what it stands for. Well, I'm gonna come up with something during the break and then we're gonna go with it. In fact, I'm gonna text every legislator I know and tell them to start working on it. There you go, Chris Jesse. I know I'm sending this a little early, but you were asking us to email. Things were thankful for. My husband lost

his job in March. Took him four months in about one hundred and fifty applications, but he found a new job. This passed July. It pays the same as he was making before. The commute is only twenty minutes. Oh that's glorious. It's a company that manufactures their product in the USA, and he really loves it. Praise God and all his blessings.

Ay men. I every guy, if he lives long enough, and I guess some women now that we allowed him in the workforce, Every guy, if he lives long enough, will have a job with a commute that grinds him down to the nubs. I've had so many of these, Honestly, that's been most of my jobs, brutally long commutes. I've told you when I lived in DC, I lived. It was only there for a year, but I lived eleven miles from the office from our house in Northern Virginia, Alexandria,

to DC. Eleven miles. There were days, I believe my record was an hour in twenty one minutes to get home eleven miles, an hour in twenty one minutes. I went to Chicago recently, remember for that Radio Hall of Fame thing. No, sadly, I wasn't getting inducted. I know you're going to find that shocking, but the Radio Hall of Fame thing. I go to Chicago, and as I was leaving, I'll fast forward. When I was leaving, it was twenty minutes from my hotel to the Chicago Airport.

Oh Here, I was flying out of Ohare twenty minutes hotel of the airport. But when I got there, I think it was a Friday afternoon. When I got there, it was an hour in ten minutes. A twenty minute commute was an hour and ten minutes. The people who do that. If you're one of those people, maybe you're in the car right now, maybe as you're listening to the side of my voice. You are in the car heading two or from work. This is you. You have one of these grinding commutes, that it's just the most

soul sucking thing in the world. I wanted to say this to you right now, and I mean it with all my heart. I am grateful for you. I am grateful that there are people who are quality enough human beings, hard working enough, trying to make ends meet, trying to provide for their families, that they're willing to go through that freaking, miserable grind every single day. It sucks if you have a commute twenty minutes or less. I don't say probably say thirty or less, but twenty is, in

my opinion, the sweet spot twenty or less. If you have a commute that's twenty minutes or less and you haven't thought of it, now is a really good time to bow your head and close your eyes. And I'm not even kidding thank God for it, because I've lived on the other half and it friggin sucks. My wrong Chris that it's freaking horrible,
