This is a podcast from WOR. You are listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. My name is James C. Harris. I am your ringmaster, sitting again for the grade Jesse Kelly.
A five fifty KFYI out of a Phoenix, seven ninety knesse out of the Tucson.
The pleasure to be sitting in.
You know, this tragedy, the midair collision last week has has really changed changed our perspective. I was seen on social media. A lot of people are afraid to fly. Understandably, it's understandable.
I had a.
Pilot for a major carrier on my show last week. He went into some of the possibilities of what took place, and he turns out to be, you know, close to the truth. I guess with the information that we're finding out, what he observed was plausible. We had a helicopter in the wrong place. He's saying that you can find fault with the helicopter pilots, you can find fault with the airplane.
Of course, he flies the plane, so he knows what goes on in the coppic, and he predicted that there was some type of early warning system or warning system in the plane. We found out today that yes there was, they were contacted nineteen seconds before the collision.
Why didn't they react?
Actually, on my show he did go into that you could download that conversation by going through the free iHeartRadio app of that conversation took place, I believe a last Friday. Then, of course you had what's going on in the tower, and a lot of people were kind of put off. When President Trump was offering his condolences, he had the press confidence he says, this is the time for morning, this is the time for a week could all come together.
And then by Yow went after the left, went after di and said that it was pretty much a reason why you know this accident occurred at when he was asked point blank about that, do.
You know for sure?
I think the President did know some things, but he couldn't say that at the time, but he went off of what he knew. And now we're finding out what the tower at Reagan International was not fully manned. Well, they're down like about twenty thirty percent. You hat a couple of people doing multiple jobs, and we're finding out that's the situation all over the country.
Well, how could it be?
How could it be that when it comes to air traffic control, we don't have enough. What we don't Those are jobs that Americans don't want, sort of like the.
Illegals on either jobs are it's hard to keep.
No, no, no, no, no, that's not it at all. From that podium at that press conference, President Trump was talking about a report that was out in which you had like a thousand traffic controllers or candidates did not get the job based on race.
Wait what and what was bold? Is?
The new press secretary came out. I said, basically, they didn't get the jobs because they were white. Shut your mouth. Were there were whites or they didn't get the job because you see, you can say we're not interested in marit.
We're not interested in who's the best.
If we did that, there might be too many white people in Asians in those positions. We have to open the door for America because disenfranchised groups. We need more black and brown And they even whissel Farer said, we need people who have like chemical dependency and who have mental issues, psychological issues.
They said that this is what the FAA was looking for. That's absurd, but it's true.
And he said that, and all of a sudden you had the Democrats come out and people were complaining.
He's race bating.
He's said that if you're black, you're brown, you're not a good air traffic No, that's not what he said.
He said people are being excluded based on color.
He said that the FAA, in their own words, were looking for disenfranchised people. And right on the heels of that, the internet does what the Internet does, and we started getting all types of evidence of exactly what Trump was talking about. Under Joe Biden, under the Biden administration, we had an FAA deputy administrator called for more blacks and brown people to get into aviation.
What is that all about.
We are looking for the best and brightest to join us as air traffic controllers. We need a diverse group of air traffic controllers to bring distinct perspectives we like to handle the ever changing aerospace landscape.
Huh.
I'm calling on students and alumni from HBCUs, Hispanic serving institutions, and tribal collegests to apply now to become air traffic controllers. We need averse, next generation air traffic workforce with people from all backgrounds. I don't want anyone interested to miss out on this amazing career opportunity.
So in other words, we need blacks, we need Hispanics, and we need Native Americans.
We need the nations, the Indian bolks, we need the nations.
Diversity because diversity is our strength.
Don't you know this is absurd under the bidy ministrait.
You're not pulling. This is what they're they Listen, listen, wait minute, let me hear this warm with that.
We are looking for the best and brightest to join us as air traffic controllers.
Right, the best and brighters.
Okay, good, so far the best and brightest to join us as air traffic controllers.
You need a diverse group, diverse air traffic controllers to bring distinct perspectives.
Wait what what distinct perspectives can a diverse group bring? Wait a minute, aren't you going to train them how to track and land planes? What diversity? What distinct perspective? Can an American of African descend, a Latino, a LATINX or nations?
What can they bring?
Sir?
To handle the ever changing aerospace landscape?
Whatever? Changing airspace landscape? What are you talking about? What do you mean by that?
Ever?
What?
Look? The terrain's not changing? Ever changing? See This is.
Some of that DEI Gobbly book. It means nothing. It may sound good, but what does it mean.
I'm calling on students and alumni from HBCUs, Hispanic.
HBCUs Historical Black colleges, Hispanic institutions.
Serving institutions, and tribal colleges to them.
Tribal tribal colleges.
That's where the Biden administration, that's where the FAA was trying to pull people from.
Apply now to become air traffic controllers. We need a diverse next generation air traffic workforce.
Why why do we need a diverse next generation workforce? Why? Why? You know?
You know, they never ask that question. Our strength is that diversity. What does that mean? I think our weakness in diversity, I think it's just the opposit. You're certainly not talking about the diversity of ideas. What you're saying is you want group thinking. You wanted to come from these so called disadvantaged groups and somehow that's gonna make air traffic controlling a stronger.
How has that worked out, sir?
With people from all backgrounds. I don't want anyone interested to miss out on this amazing career opportunity.
Okay, okay, sir, No, you know what, I do have a black suitcase.
I do.
Yeah, I wear black clothing all the time. I just like black. I'm a generation next, That's that's my color. Black is in the color jet.
Yeah, I know.
But even though I travel with a black suitcase, it does not mean I want to see a black pilot.
That's not what it means.
And they got to tell you after what we experienced with the La Fire Department, because you see, they got a bunch of lesbians over there, the first three in charge lesbian. They put out a commercial James, you shouldn't do it. I don't like the way you're saying. Lesbian, get over it. That's what they call themselves. They had the little commercial out there talking about, you know, your house is on fire and I come in there, and you expect for me to carry you out.
You you in the wrong place. You put yourself in the wrong position, meaning you're on your own.
Because you know what, I'm a lesbian. I may not be as strong as a man. I may not be able to lift you out too bad, But we have diversity. Aren't you glad that I look like you? Aren't you glad? See this is making it rough on the on the the people of color who are legitimately in these places, because now we're gonna have to look at them with a side eye. Did you get this job because of a diversity or did you get this job because you're qualified?
And I know what I'm talking about because when I became a teacher, that's exactly what they said to me. How did you get this job because because of the affirmative action.
That's what it was called back then, affirmative action. H mm hmmm, hm. Oh, it's a mess.
If you think that was bad, wait to you here the video that surfaced of Representative Jasmine Crockett.
Democrat Texas.
It's coming up next. James Harris sitting in for the Jesse Kelly Show, The Jesse You I'm listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. My name is James T. Harris and I am a talk show host out of Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona a Tucson, Arizona. My show, The Conservative Circus could be heard five fifty KFYI seven ninety k.
His Tea the free iHeart Radio app.
You could also follow me on on x at James Harris, What time is my show? Oh, six am to ten am Arizona time. I don't know what time you guys are on out there across the fruited plaine, as Russ used to say.
But Arizona time is the only time that matters.
Rest of you guys need to get on track or stop messing around with your time, don't you know? That's unhealthy, makes people tired and sick, they start driving crazy. Just throwing off. What's that called? What is that clock called? Hey, Chris, that's jessic Kelly's a producer, Chris. What is that clock called? The something rhythm? Circadian rhythm? Yeah, it's all thrown off.
Talk about circadian rhythm, been thrown off. I get up at two o'clock every morning, the prep for the for the exciting Conservative circus.
I'm thrown off. You get off.
You get up at ten in the morning, that's what Chris is. That's jessic Kelly's producer. Just said, you get up.
At ten in the morning. Ten, dude, that's like welfare hours.
What are you doing? Oh you work late? Okay, ten o'clock. If ten o'clock I have, that's yeah. Even when I'm off, I wake up at like four o'clock in the morning. At five o'clock in the morning, I just two o'clock is when I'm in fighting shape.
Anyway, you going to bet it? Doos? I haven't bet at seven point thirty.
You know what, the snowbirds come down to Arizona this time of the year, and that's you know, I gotta beat them to the restaurant.
They hit the restaurant at five o'clock fighting to get in.
Oh bitties, I guess I'm kind of well anyway, Uh, how to be get up into Yeah? Oh yeah, people, we are new. Yeah, that's so you can find me. We are talking about DEEI. We're talking about how it's blowing up in the left's face. It is blowing up. And this is one of those dreams that you just couldn't imagine. As a high school teacher, I was one. I think I was the only American of African descent
in my high school and the superintendent of schools. I'll never forget this, mister kid mo he higered me because well, let's be let's be honest, that's just another pretty face. I'm a devastatingly handsome man, but so had a fantastic GPA from the university that I graduated from, and I wanted to be a world history teacher and had traveled over a third of.
The planet at that point. I was qualified.
Some might say I was over qualified, but because I'm black, my colleagues assumed that I got the job based on race to federacial quota. You know, all the districts had a quota that they wanted to meet, which is very difficult because it's not that many black people in Wisconsin to field the quota in the first damn place.
I'm sorry, it's so frustrating.
So I know what a person of color who's flying a plane or working in uh, you know, air traffic control, I know the backlash they're about to get because of Democrat policies. People are going to question their competence be honest with to be honest, listen, okay, okay, by a show of hands, how many of y'all when you get on an airplane, now you see you know, if you see a Hispanic Native American African American pilot, you know, a midget or with one leg?
But should I say that? Do I have to say little person? Which one? Yeah?
Okay, he's over there at the pilot, you're gonna be comfortable.
What happened?
If you get on the plane and you ask some identifiable lesbians that are flying plane, is that gonna make you feel better? If you lesbian, not gonna make you feel better? Come on, come on, change You can't say Why can't I say it? You just heard if you were with us in the last segment, the FAA Deputy administrator called for it. Representative Jasmine Crockett, Democrat Texas put out a video. Oh, she's bragging. How hard they had to work to get d EI policy into air traffic control?
Wait what Yeah?
And it sounds like they had they had to do something kind of devious to make it happen. Wait what yeah, Representative Jasmine crocket I think.
That I've been somewhat effective. We also were able to get monumental legislation into the FAA Reauthorization Act that really flew under the radar.
What flew under the radar? Well, people didn't notice it. How did it fly under the radar?
You got it in place, You got these DEI policies in place for air traffic.
Control, thank god. But this was funny to make sure that hopefully we can increase the number of African Americans and Hispanics that.
Well, why do we need more African Americans in Hispanics and air traffic controllers? Why don't we need more African Americans and Hispanics you know of flying planes? Do we need more Hispanics and Native Americans? You know in the NFL stop it.
Our entering aviation which can be very expensive but can obviously be very lucrative. And so we set up a situation where basically there will be full rides for those land grant HBCUs as well as hsi's to go into aviation in this crazy anti DEI environment. We were able to get that done because we were everybody that matter. So I do want people to know that we are working. This is just one of those abaritions.
Yeah we know now, girl, We know now, girl, Thank you very much. Crazy DEI environment, it's crazy alright. DI is dead in the Trump administration and they are rooting out. You get the president to call for you want to know all of the DEI hires in air traffic control and the people who've been turned away. There's going to be a reckoning, there's going to be a writening of the ship. I'm telling you another example of Trump winning this DEI argument, though, is going to die.
Hard, die hard, d e hard. James T.
Harris sitting in for the Jesse Kelly Show, Jesse Kelly Show.
My name is James T. Harris. Happy to be sitting in for Jesse Kelly.
I am a talk show host from Phoenix, Arizona five fifty kh YI can also be heard in Tucson seven ninety K and ST and a free iHeartRadio app. You can follow me on exit James T. Harris and let me see Chris. That would be Jesse Kelly's producer sent me over an article here, actually two articles, very interesting.
Pentagon boots New York Times.
H that's not it. That's a different But that's not the article you sent me, Chris.
Here it is. Here's the article.
The FAA is being sued for throwing out air traffic controller applications based on the applications.
Race What.
Class action action lawsuit by the Mountain State's Legal Foundation has found a substantial amount of documents showing discriminatory hiring practices by the Obama era Federal Aviation Administration.
We go on the way back to Obama.
They rejected qualified air traffic controllers based on race, meaning if you were white, you you got tossed qualified one thousand, one thousand qualified air traffic controller applicants were tossed a thousand.
That's amazing.
In light of what we're experiencing now, that's amazing.
How about this diversity in the skies?
FAA is controversial shift in air traffic controlling hiring. This is January twenty nine, This is twenty twenty four. This is a year ago. And every time we wind up talking about DEI and aviation we get stupider. Ooh, it's almost impossible to have a rational conversation about a shortage of applicants short of a pilot's of applicants air traffic controllers. Is it possible to have a conversation about barriers to entry into the profession or about what qualifications are necessary
for job in aviation? Instead we talk about United CEO dressing up as a woman at the US Airway Halloween party in two thousand and one. And by the way, he also dressed up as Taylor Swift for Halloween and American Airlines at twenty fifteen.
Okay, okay, he.
However, there are some areas where we've made bad decisions in diversity hiring. This is what they're saying. So it is out there. Can you imagine I want to be an air traffic controller? Why what was it that was? That was senator the senator from Texas. He was interviewing a person who was this. He was interviewing a man who had absolutely no qualifications whatsoever to be in the FAA.
He was going through the you know, the hearings, had no qualifications whatsoever, and this is who the FAA put up that.
That's frightening, frightening.
And yet that's exactly where we are as a country today.
It's absurd.
All I have to do to get a job in the FAA is to walk in and tell them I'm black bleck.
Y'all, and I'm black, y'all, and I'm blacking and black and I'm black, y'all, and I'm black, y'all, and I'm black y'all, and I'm slacking it black and.
I'm black y'all. I'm looking black black and black black.
I'm plucking it black you because I'm black, and I'm blessed and I'm black and I'm bleack y'all, and I'm tracking you're black, and I'm bleack, y'all. And I'm black, y'all, and I'm black, y'all, and I'm blacking. You're black you and I'm black, yeah, And I'm black black black black.
Y'all, and I'm black, y'all, and I'm black, you'll, and I'm taking because I'm black. You're hired. You're hired, sir.
You're exactly what we need to bring diversity in our vast changing environment. This is an idiocracy. This is what the Democrats have turned this country into. An idiocracy. A Right's previous and dollar person Ill, the failed campaign manager for numerous campaigns. We're having a discussion about this on the Sunday Morning News, and I think Ryan's previous was throwing out some facts the.
Difference between giving, you know, a lawyer and opportunity because people can pick and choose whoever lawyer they want to hire. There are standards for you know, taking the bar exam accreditation and you go interview the lawyer and you hire a lawyer, but it's a It's another thing if you're on an airplane and you have the AI initiatives that may have given preferential preference to someone sitting in a control a different between opportunity, which I agree with, and favoritism.
That's all worth well, Don Donald, that is exactly how it works, girl, that we just we just demonstrated that to you. That's why we have the FAA being sued because the value diversity over merit the right, the value diversity over competence, and people are people are dying. Donna Brazil did respond to RAN's previous and I want you to listen very careful to what she says. It gets emotional, she gets emotional. That's usually what happens with Democrats when
they they didn't get emotional. They have to talk about the pack.
We shall over come. Donna Brazil, I.
Just want to reassure the American people that fine is safe. I've been on airplanes all my adult life and I have.
Yeah, you know that. It is it when you think about that, just the amount of deaths.
Well, this is the biggest. The worst accident we had was in fifteen years. Then we have to go back another nineties before that.
It is safe. But but but behind the scenes, Donna, behind the scenes.
Are we headed for a safer, safer skies or more dangerous scene.
I've been on a plane with two female policy and say, wow, I am this is gonna go fast.
Oh yeah, it could go down. Yeah. Did I just say that?
Ah? I mean, this is about opportunity. This is who we are as American.
No, it's not about opportunities. It's not about who we are as American, as Americans. We're about merit, donna, merit, excellence, exceptionalism.
You know, James Brown, one of my favorite favorite artists of all time, says, I don't want nobody to give me nothing.
He also says say it loud. I'm black and I'm proud that's James Brown too. But I know what she's saying here. I don't want to, you know, nobody give me nothing. Just open the door and I'll get it myself.
Open the door, I'll get it myself. That's what people have said for centuries in America.
Just open the door.
Give us the opportunity, Give us the opportunity. That's what people have been saying for centuries in this country. Just give us the opportunity. And then she goes on and talks about how her father was a a decorated war hero. Thank you for your service, sir, and then starts crying about just how stop it. I just had to stalk. It's just more emotional bleeding on people, just bleeding on people. The Democrats don't get it. They are invested in this
failed policy. They can't give it up, and as long as they hold on to it, hey better for us. The Democrat Party is a danger of being thrown on the scrap heap of history. They're in danger of going the way of the Whig Party. They are already proving themselves to be irrelevant and now they're moving into the into the category of being a laughing stock. Coming up next, we at the d n C conventions over the weekend.
The DNC was trying to choose new leadership and if this were on SNL, you will still think it was over the top.
Stay tuned, hilarity will ensue. James T. Harris sitting in for the Jesse Kelly Show Cee Kelly Show. My name is James T. Harris.
I am your ringmaster and talk show HOSDS out of a Phoenix, Arizona I show. The Conservative Circus could be heard six to ten Monday through Friday morning on five fifty KFYI in Phoenix and seven to ninety k is Tea and Tucson happy to be sitting in for the ailing Jesse Kelly, the Democrat Party is in trouble, but I think they know they're in trouble. They don't know how not to be in trouble, and they're starting to conduct the autopsy. You still got James Carville out there
pop off. You know, he's saying some very tough things, but he's telling people the truth. And part of what he was popping off on was Joe Biden being senile and quite frankly, Kamala Harris being stupid.
We ran a presidential election. If we were playing a super Bowl, we started our seven string quarterback.
That's what happened.
Okay, let's you can't you can't address a problem unless you're honest.
About a problem. And none of this was inevitable.
Now if you would have put the staggering talent that exists in today's Democratic Party, let me, you heard what I said, the staggering talent that exists in today's Democratic Party, where people would have seen that who I didn't know they had? People like that can actually complete a sentence, okay, that actually can know how to frame a message and
actually have a sense of accomplishment doing something. If we would if excited people and we would have had people from the middle of the country, we would have had people from the coach it have been diverse, we'd have been in When you do that, that's how people get involved in policy.
Okay, okay, uh. I don't know.
We're talking about, you know, the stellar people that are part of the party. But hey, you know what if we would have seen Shapiro that was the governor over in Pennsylvania, He's he's pretty stellar. Fetterman, you know, Federman's coming around. I don't know, but they're not going to get that.
They're not going to get that.
Why Because the d n C had their little convention over the weekend and it was it was it was, it was troublesome.
This was moderated by ms n b c Uh.
You had what's his name, Jonathan k Part was over there, and also you had Jin Saki circle back Sak she was there as well. And they were introducing the the the candidates. I think they were like about twelve or fourteen of them. And as they were introducing them, you begin to realize this is not a serious party. The Democrats are not a serious party.
And we'll begin with the opening statements.
Each candidate will have thirty seconds, and we'll start with doctor Quintessa Hathaway.
Good evening everyone. It is my desire to be the next DNC chair and I just want to give you all a little bit of something that's been on my heart.
Here over the last couple of days. Okay, girl, what you got? You fighted, you fired up, you fight fight all when your government is doing you row, you fired you fe thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Doctor Hathaway. You fed ah you fed oh wing. Your government is screwing you.
You fired.
DNS.
Oh the Democrats are not a serious party. They're not a serious party. Uh the let me see.
I think this was the tenth or eleventh person up there who wants to be the head of the DNC. She took to the to the podium, but apparently the people in the audience were not paying attention.
Have my Democrats? Hey, I am speaking, and I would love your attention. There is a black woman out this poem, and I love.
Your attention like the eleven people who went before me, Yes, I am speaking, Hey, Hey, I am speaking. You have a black person, a woman at the podium. Yeah, you need to be listening to me and not wow.
Wow.
Well, when it came down to deciding who was going on, they had to stop the whole process. They had to stop the election. Why why don't they have to stop the election? They had to stop the election, my friends, because, uh, there wasn't a non binary person elected.
I kid you not.
Rules specify that when we have a gender non binary candidate or officer, the non binary individual is counted as neither male nor female, and the remaining six offices must be gender balanced. With the results of the previous four elections, our elected officers are currently too male and to female. Right, In order to be gender balanced, we must we must elect.
One male, one female, one person of any gender. What is a woman? So again, mister Shaffer, what does the woman do for this vice chair race? Okay? To elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender. Okay. To ensure our process accounts for male, female, and non binarys uh huh. We conferred with our RBC coach today our LGBT.
Caucus LGBTs to ensure that the process is inclusive and meets the gender balance requirements in our room gender balance, but if you when d DEI policies impact your your your process, your election process, You're dumbed.
You're dumbed. Do you know what end up winning the whole thing? You know you can't make this up. Gun activist David hoggs, are you ready to go on the offense a white dude? Are you ready to go on the offense? But he's white. We have to win back our young people.
I am the only candidate in this race for any of these positions that is under thirty. We had a twenty point shift through the right of our young people.
We must show our young people.
That's really damn about them, that we support this, that's really invest in them.
I have raised over eleven million dollars, oh boy, to support the future of our party.
Because I don't just tweet. I don't just talk the talk.
I also walk the walk and I knocked the knock knock across the country. You're not counting on you in this moment right now. I need your support. Please vote for me, Thank you so much.
Let's go on and the don't just walk the walk. He talks to talk and he knocks the knock. Yeah, David Hall, But all that diversity they choose David Hall to be.
The vice chair. Isn't that crazy? Isn't that the same position that Tulca Gabbard health a Democrats? The Democrats are dead? What killed them?
D Ei.
Dead by d e.
I Oh, we're winning, Winny feels so good.
We just this is too much. It's too much winning. This has been a podcast from w o R.
