Matt Gaetz withdraws from the A.G. nomination

Ray Majorcus they did something today that's pretty brazen. We'll talk about it. We're gonna talk about illegal immigration emails. There's a bunch of crazy Commy hate listeners who are mad at me. The mayor of Denver apparently is gonna square off with the federal government. All that and so much more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse

Kelly's Show. And before I forget, before I do anything else, let me remind you that tomorrow is an Ask Doctor Jesse Friday, and you need to get your questions, all of them emailed in right now to Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com or leave us a voicemail eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three. Now let's deal with the Matt Gates stuff. For those maybe you're just maybe you're just now getting off of work, maybe you're

just now tuning in. Matt Gates, former Congressman Matt Gates, Donald Trump's pick to be Attorney General, came out today, put out a public statement and announced he's withdrawing. I'm withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as attorney general. So let's go over the timeline, because it's very, very clear what happened here yesterday. While you and I were talking yesterday, Matt Gates was on Capitol Hill meeting with senators. And I know this is fairly obvious to those who know,

but not everyone knows. Here's how this works. Obviously, Matt Gates has to get approved in the Senate. All he needs is a majority. He doesn't need sixty votes he needed to be approved in the Senate. And what you really don't want Trump doesn't want it, Gates doesn't want it. Really, no one on our side wins if Gates gets put up officially. Put up officially goes into the nomination process and gets voted down. By the Senate. It looks terrible

for all parties involved. And allow me to explain that really quickly. If someone you know, if someone you know, they're looking for a babysitter, they want a babysitter, and you you know this kid, this teenage girl. It's always a teenage girl who does babysitting anyway, And you go to your friend. I know this teenage girl, and she is dynamite. She is so responsible. She will take care of your baby. She will be there. And your friend

hires that woman. And the first time she comes over, she leaves the kids and goes out on a date with a boyfriend and comes back and smokes a joint in your living room. And it's a complete disaster. Your kids are starving, you come home poopy diapers. Oh my gosh, she's a disaster. Well, not only does it look bad on the babysitter, it looks bad on you because you recommended it. So if your nominee goes into the official process and gets voted down, it looks bad all around.

And they don't want that. No party does that. They don't want that, so they put out feelers, and in fact they do exactly what Gates did yesterday. You go to the Republicans. He wouldn't bother with the Democrats. They're all going to vote no. So you go to as many Republicans who will see you on Capitol Hill. Of course, calls are made ahead of time, appointments are set up. You don't generally just door knock your senator. But either way you pay Senator Langford, I'm Matt Gates, Attorney General.

How are you gonna vote? And they'll be honest with you. Yes, no, the losers will ah. Maybe I'm not really sure yet, but you gauge your chances, and it's obvious from the statement Gates put out today, he gauged his chances at being pretty much zero. And as soon as you walk off of Capitol Hill having door knock the senators and you find out your chances are zero, you with withdraw your name. It's a no brainer. It would look bad

for Gates. Remember, Gates is an ambitious person. Understand when I'd say that about people, don't ever take that as an insult. But politically he's an ambitious person. I know, I don't know whether this is where his heart still is, but I know at one point he really wanted to run to be governor of the state of Florida. Remember Ronda Santis is almost turned out. That would be a very obvious next career jump. Maybe Matt Gates wants to be a senator one day, Maybe he wants something else.

If you go through the official nomination process and get blasted down and get publicly humiliated, which they would have done, it lowers your chances at ever doing anything else. So it looks bad for Gates. It looks bad for Trump. If Trump's attorney general, that's really your biggest pick. To be honest, there are a lot of very important picks. Sec of State, Secretary of State, sec deaf, Secretary of Defense. There are a lot of very big, very important picks,

but ag might be the biggest. If your biggest pick gets shot down, officially looks bad. This looks bad all around. So Gates walks out. He says, no, he's gone with draws. Now, maybe you are angry right now, Maybe you're doing backflips. I get that. But maybe you're angry right now, you're sad I hate the Senate again. We'll get to that in a moment. Calm down, It's okay, it's okay. Trump is gonna pick someone else, and the chances are good he'll pick somebody better. He might pick someone worse. I

don't know who he's gonna pick yet. I hear rumors. I don't know, but he might pick someone who would be even more ruthless than Matt Gates, maybe someone who has managed to avoid any baggage that's gonna hold him back. This may be a win in the end, but even if it's not, this goes back to what we've talked about, what you and I talk about so often every single day here. Saving the country is a process, not an event. It is a process. We want a huge election, we

want a huge battle. We have a thousand more, and we will lose some. Don't make this mistake in your post election glow, a mistake I have made any times in my life. After you win one, we have a good run, and you say to yourself, we're gonna win forever. We have it all. They're on the run. Battle's over, We've won the war. We all convince ourselves of that every time we win a big one, and when we lose one, we do the same thing the other way.

We have lost. Everything's lost. Nothing matters. Game over Saving and losing a country is a process, not an event. I'll tell you what. Let's marry that story with this story, because we'll get back to the Senate and the Gates thing. Alejndro Majorcis and Christopher Ray. They were supposed to have a homeland security hearing today in front of the Senate. That's a big deal. The United States Senate says, Hey, Christopher Ray, Majorcis, when need you guys to come answer

some questions? And they didn't show up. Look, update, there's cent of hearings on the threats to the homeland has been postponing. Definitely.

moves forward to protect itself at all times. And so if we elect a reformer and he's nominating reformers and it's going our way, and it is still going our way, it's going well, did you think they were never going to hit back? They are not on the run. They're refitting,

they're reorganizing, they're coming up with a new plan. But Alejandro Majorcis is the head of Homeland Security, Christopher Ray is the director of the FBI, and they were told today to appear before the United States Senate and both of them said, ah, nah, I'm good. What does that tell you the dupe state, if we want to call it that, the system, they are entrenched, and they are going to fight, and this is not to bring you down, it's to get you ready, they're going to try to

destroy Heagseth. Next, you know that, right, Chris, write that down. I already have sources reaching out to me today informing me that the next major bomb drop bombs dropping, they're going to drop on Pete Hegseth. And I know you're probably already saying, well, they're already leaking bad stuff out there. No, no, no, no, no no. There is a huge difference between what Matt Gates went through in the last week and what everyone else went through. Everyone else caught some shots right, everyone

to go on the news. I don't like Tausie, I don't like RFK I Hag says bad. And then there's Matt Gates who became the focal point of the system. Pete hegg Seth is about to be next. Will he survive it? I believe he will for different reasons, which I will go into in a few minutes. But Peteg says next, the system's going to fight back. It's going to push back a thousand battles. We will win some, we will lose some. All is not lost. We still may get a wonderful ag. We didn't get this one done,

and let's discuss the why in a moment. Before we do that, I want to thank you because you're already doing something I've asked you to do. I asked, I asked for a favor. You see, current and former military, current and former law enforcement, current and former educators, and their families. They qualify for GOVX accounts free gov X accounts. It's free to them. Jewish producer Chris does not qualify.

I qualify. Producer Corey qualifies but Chris doesn't. And I've asked that you email in whenever you get on gov x and you save money, so we can read this out loud for Chris so he can see the savings he's missing. And this guy did, he said, Jay Steele, don't be jealous. But I used my enormous hands to log onto govex and order a Vortex red dot for my glock. Gosh, that's sick, he said. I saved forty nine dollars buying it on govex instead of at my

chain sporting goods store. Please let Chris know about this, and that I'm booking a hotel in Denver on the site as well, and saved three hundred and seventy eight dollars for a four night's stay. The savings are legit. His name is Bo. Thank you Bo for giving Chris a heads up on what he's missing out on. You get your free govex account, and that's the only place you shop. Trust me when you see everything they have,

it's hotels, it's everything. Gove x dot Com promo code Jesse gets you fifteen bucks off your first purchase, So use that gove x dot com promo code Jesse we'll be back. It's the Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday, and amazing Thursday. I can't get the smile off my face. It just feels like it's been a good week. Plus. I had some garlic parmesean wings earlier today, and I admit that what Chris, I admit that I'm not. I don't feel like my breath is where it needs to be,

so I'm keeping myself isolate. What's the garlic parmesan, Chris. It's just there's a lot of garlic on these wings, and I feel like my breath could kill a vampire at this point in time. But gosh, they were so fantastic. A little blue cheese. Anyway, back to what our Matt Gates talk. Okay, so we lost Matt Gates. Now let's

just go over the why. Of course, the GOP senators said no. They bounced around Capitol Hill, they knocked on the door, and the GOP senators said no, I'm not going to beat this dead horse anymore today because you hear me do it often. This comes back to our primary process and the one we ignore. We get excited for the bright lights of the presidency. We're going to take back to White House. We're going to be president again, and our excitement gets us involved. We dig in, we volunteer,

do we get out the vote, We register voters. We are all in. Give me my Trump dvance hat, but we are all in. And then when it comes time for a Republican primary, we stay home. We ignore it. And it's the Red states that are most guilty because we stay home the most, and the ones who do show up, we show up and we instinctively vote for the loser who's already in office. He's the one we know.

They managed to convince people every time that any kind of an outsider won't win against the Democrat, and so we stumble into the polls. I think I'll vote for John Cornyn again. He won last time and I saw him shoot guns and the commercials and we kind of ignore it, and they don't make a bunch of headlines. How many times have you woken up to a headline about a primary. It never happens. It's just kind of a given. What John Thune wins his primary in South Dakota,

it's just kind of a given. It doesn't make headlines, it doesn't create controversy. And then a moment like this comes and Donald Trump, the newly elected president, he's trying to get reformers in the government. The first one gets shot down, his most important pick gets shot down, and today we erupt with white hot rage. Why do we have these senators? What is with these senators days? People, I mean, Marjorie Taylor Green's out there saying things like this.

It's like it's like that friend in your life, who's not really a friend, and the only time you ever see him is when he needs something, and he ignores you. For two three years. You never get a text, you never get a phone call. And finally one day he calls and he said, hey, man, I need your bad I need you to drive across town and bail me out of jail. I need one thousand dollars. The answer is no, you weren't involved when it mattered, and now

when you need help, you can't make these demands. This is what the GOP voter does with the United States Senate. We ignore it, we ignore it. It's us in the reddest states who are most guilty. This is not on Californians, This is not on New Yorkers. This is on Texans and South Carolinas and South Dakota's and this is on our reddest state GOP voters, myself included. We ignore, we ignore whatever. I'm not involved, I don't care. We ignore, and then we need them one day and we say,

why won't you help? We ignored them. We allowed these scumbags to win election after a election after election without really any significant opposition whatsoever. We never punish them for their votes and then one day we think we can shout at them, you have a mandate. They don't think they have a mandate. Why because the GOP primary voter has never once told them they have a mandate. The GOP primary voter, in fact, has told them exactly the opposite.

The GOP primary voter for decades, and the Red estates has consistently gone to the pools. Whether he thinks he's saying this or not, he has consistently gone to the polls and told his Red State senator to continue spitting in his face, and he will never punish him for it. That is what the GOP primary voter has done. And as a result, the GOP senator and your Red state spits in your face. Don't complain about the spit when you've told him to do it over and over, you've

told him he can without consequence. Today we see what the consequences are. All right, All right now, now let's move on. Let's deal with what's coming next. Because the Hag says stuff is coming next. Let's get you prepped and ready for that. Before we do that, Let's get you prepped and ready to run into a violent person who wants to hurt you All around us now there are violent, mentally ill people who want to hurt us. How many stories do we have to read about young

lady out jogging runs into a monster. Young lady in a parking lot runs into a monster. That is what the burna pistol launcher is. It is the less lethal pistol launcher. It is legal in all fifty states. You don't need a permit, you don't need a background check. It's not a gun. It shoots pepper balls or tear gas balls or kinetic rounds. It is so effective swat teams around the country use burna and it will save your life. You nail an attacker with one of these,

it will incapacitate them and you will live. And it's legal. Do you want to talk about the ultimate Christmas gift for any loved one in your life? Man or woman? By Rna Berna dot com slash Jesse. It might save your life Burner dot com slash Jesse. We'll be back. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday, reminding you that tomorrow is an ask doctor Jesse Friday, and you need to get all your questions emailed in right now to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com ask me anything.

All three hours dedicated to you on a Friday. Now, let's do a couple emails. Oh, we got some hate emails. Commies are super mad Jesse. We all know that Putin is Trump's boss, and we know that Jesse feeds his family by I can't say that on the air. That's really not appropriate and that's really dirty by doing something to whatever anyway. But it's a habarrassing that your anti war what's this guy call us anti war? Maga retards.

This is how these people talk, have zero smoke for Putin waging war, killing and bombing children and feeding Russia's own sons into the meat grinder. He's a Russian dick Cheney. And you guys say nothing all because Trump is Putin's in. You see. You know what's wild about the whole Russia Putin thing, the Ukraine thing is this guy who wrote this email. I'm not gonna say his name. Remember, I don't ever say your name unless you tell me to. Even if you send all the hate and death threats,

I don't do it. I believe in privacy. I'm the last person in the world who believes in keeping things private. But do you know that this human being before Russia invaded Ukraine could not locate Ukraine on a map. I guarantee they could not, not a chance, never gave a care in the world for Ukraine, could not tell you who the leader of Ukraine is. But you read an email like this and you think, oh my gosh, he's

so emotional. What's going on? Remember Remember, remember the communist is a herd animal and you should think of him more of a robot than a human being. He does not want to be free. He does not want the danger that comes with freedom with thinking. He wants to be told where to go, what to think, what to do, what to say, and he wants everyone else to do the same, because he believes that's where safety and security is.

Everyone in the herd just goes where they're told. And so he goes up to the hive mind and he gets his programming update. He gets this from the media, he gets this from Democrat politicians. He is constantly told what to care about and what to think. And the wild part of this is this is going to sound

crazy to someone like you who's a thinker. But the wildest part of this is you can tell him what to think about something, and he will immediately, like the cult member he is, be super passionate about this thing. He never gave a crap about yesterday. He couldn't find Ukraine yesterday on a map. Today you tell him Ukraine is the most important thing in the world, and he will fight tooth and nail to save Ukraine. It's a

real it really is a genuine mental illness. All right, let's move past, because I want to address the Gates thing too. One final word on the Gates thing. Gates is gone. Okay, let's pray we get a better next one, and so on and so forth. Okay, that's done. They're going to come hard for Pete he hag seth next really ared, and it's going to sound bad. The things that are going to come out are going to sound bad. It's just like the Gates stuff. I mean, there are differences, obviously,

but remember that talk I had. You and I talked last night about how they use dirty sound things to appeal to your emotions, appeal to your morality, and sway you one way or the other. It's one of their great strengths using your values against you. Now that they've got rid of the age. Pete hagg Seth is going to be next, and he is about to feel the fire of a thousand sons, just like Gates just did. I, however, am more hopeful for hagg Seth than I am for Gates.

And here's why. It's not that the GOP is going to get stronger, but these senators, when it comes to someone like Matt Gates, here's how they would look at it. Matt Gates walked into Washington, DC, and this is I love this about him. He promptly offended everybody in power, every single person in power. He never tried to make friends with any of these people. He was constantly bad mouthing them, constantly talking down to these corrupt people in Washington, DC.

So he stored up no friends, only stored up enemy, powerful powerful enemies. And then Trump decided he wanted him as AG. Matt Gates had some not great sounding things. Again I laid out what it was in the truth of it, but he had some not great sounding things there. And what happened was these senators, these losers in the Senate, there was no reason. They didn't have a reason to vote yes. Now I here, please hear what I'm saying

I wanted them to vote yes. I know you think they had a reason to vote yes, But when they're looking at Matt Gates, you got to give them a reason, and they couldn't think of a reason why you offended everyone. I know, I don't like him anyway, I don't like the pic I bet come up with you. You didn't give him a reason. But Pete hegg Seth, because of his military background, gives them a reason. In fact, you've

already seen even real, real wishy washy senators. You've seen them come out publicly and say, I love Pete hegg Seth. He's a veteran. I love Pete hegg Seth. He was in Afghanistan. I love Pete Eggseth. He was in Iraq. Pete heg Seth has a thing that Matt Gates didn't have, and it leads me to believe Pete hag Seth's chances are greater than Matt Gates's chances. Pete hag Seth has a reason. He gives the senators, even your wishy, washy loser red state senators, he gives them a reason to

say yes. And yeah, the stuff coming out and that's going to come out is going to sound bad and dirty, and it's gonna make your mother uncomfortable. But still the senators are able. They're able to pull up a shield. That's what you need because remember, they're all cowards. It all comes down to the fact most of these people, politicians are cowards in general, Republicans and Democrats. They're lifelong dorks.

They're losers, they're followers, they're not leaders. They need they need to feel like they are being protected when they do something. If you are asking them to vote for Matt Gates, where's their protection now. I wanted them to anyway, as you know. But for them, they didn't give them a reason. Hag Seth does give him a reason. So there's that all right, Before we deal with other things. It's use more emails. Hey, Jesse, I caught your show for the first time this week. I've been on jury duty.

You were talking about how much you had a rough day and had to miss work. I lost my best friend like eighteen years ago. He was like my brother. We were constantly together. They are There are very few childhood memories I have, so on and so forth. A few years before he died, we had a fight and stopped talking, and then he killed himself. I didn't deal with it for a long time. When I finally did,

it almost destroyed my life. If you have another hard day like that, please talk to your pastor or your Mexican friend. US. Mexicans are great listeners, he says. And I'm sure you guys can wear some breiros and talk. I'm praying for you. Thank you all for your care. I just I needed a day. And everyone keeps telling me that you got to talk to somebody, you got to take more time off. You should take a couple of weeks off and stuff like that. I'm not doing that.

I'm not doing that. I may end up talking to someone at some point. I need to talk to anybody. I just needed a freaking day. All right, Thank you. I appreciate you very much. It is what it is, oracle of knowledge. You are either a jury selection in Richmond or it's your twin. No two men could be dressed as snazzy and so handsome. His name is what Chris? His name is Scott, Scott with excellent taste. Also Scott. But listen, I'm great at jury duty. Yeah, I am

great at jury duty. Chris. Why are you shaking your head. I haven't been on a jury in years. Well, first of all, that's not completely my fault. Remember I was called for jury duty here in Texas. Was that a few years ago, Chris? Three or four years ago? And I made it through the first couple and I was on the final I was on the final selection where we were in a small room and it turns out both the defense team and the prosecutorial team they all

knew who I was. And then I got shot down immediately, so I know I was live tweeting the whole thing. Chris, I thought it was funny. Okay, either way, they got wind of it, and then I got rejected. But remember my jury doo eya storty. Maybe I'll tell that story in a moment. Let's also talk about the deep state and Christopher Ray. We'll just make it all about me and the country, and let's talk about Puretalk. Speaking of the country, you're looking for a Christmas gift? How about

a new phone? Mom, dad, some daughter. Everyone wants a new phone. You know that Puretalk has those too, right, whatever you want, iPhones, androids. The problem with pure Talk is they save you a bunch of money. That's not something you want, right, we all want that. I switched from T Mobile and my bill got cut in half. This is the patriotics cell phone company whose ceo fought in Vietnam. They don't give to dirtball comedy causes, and

they hire Americans. Buy American for Christmas. Patronize the American mobile company, not these other big ones who hate you. Switch to Pure Talk. They're wonderful on the phone, and it's easy, and it's a great gift. Pick up that phone you currently have and dial pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly. That'll save you an extra fifty percent off your first month pound two five zero, Say Jesse Kelly. We'll be back feeling a little stocky, follow like it is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday.

And that is a good point, Chris. All these foreign bands, I like me some American rock music. It just feels freaking good. ACDC rocks absolutely rocks. Huge fan. Okay, so do with a couple more deep state things. It's I don't want to spend too long on this. We kind of got kicked in the teeth a little bit today and everyone's a little bit sore about it. I'd rather talk more about me. But Ray Ray and may orc has skipped the Senate here, and you remember the power structure.

You remember this famous little sound bit I've played for you one hundred times where Chuck Grassley was essentially told to go sit in the corner by FBI Director Ray Senator. I had had a flight that I'm supposed to be high tailing the two out of here, and I had understood that we were going to be done at one thirty. So that was that's how we ended up where we are. If it's your business trip, you got your own plane,

can it wait a while? Sorry, to be honest, I've tried to make my break as fast as I could to get right back out of here, and you took more than five minutes. Yeah, So these guys don't think they can be brought to heal. And to date, the GOP has consistently backed them up in that. Oh, they whine and they cry, and they have these oversight hearings and they call them in and they make them look stupid on camera. But to date, nobody, nobody in power,

has landed a serious blow against the deep state. And now we're all hopeful. I'm absurdly hopeful that it is coming in this Trump presidency. I'm very, very hopeful about the Elon Vivek thing, the Department of Government Efficiency firing bureaucrats. I am hopeful, but I just want to make sure we all remember the deep state is deep, and they are entrenched. And there Look, this was NICKI Haley on Sirius XM. Tulcy Gabbard, head of DNI is a big deal.

Tulca Gabbard knows about how evil and weaponized our intelligence agencies are. And then you have this uniparty loser, Nikki Hayley saying things like this.

Trump turned the US into Saudi Arabia's prostitute. This is going to be the future head of our national intelligence. In Congress, Tulsi criticized, criticized Trump's authoritarian striker.

institutions that need so much reform. The last thing they want is a reformer, and they are all going to be fought. Every reformer is going to be fought tooth and nail. Just get ready for it, all right now? Remember my jury duty, Storty, what Chris, I was thinking a lot about jerry duty, especially because I'll never be on one again. Isn't that kind of sad? I love jury duty and I'll never be on one again. When I got out of the Marines, I was in Tucson, Arizona.

I was working construction. I was young I was. I bet it was twenty four, twenty maybe even younger than that, twenty three, twenty four, maybe twenty five. I was young at the time. And I got called up for jury duty and I was so absurdly excited and I got in there, and most jury duties. They told me when I was going in that most of them are boring their DUIs and lasts an hour and then you're gone.

They start dropping hints during the initial selection that isn't gonna be one of those and it may take several days. And now I'm geeking out. Now I'm thinking, oh, yes, this is gonna be sweet. I bet someone got murdered and it wasn't murder, but it was this huge drug bust of multiple guys and I'm talking with undercover cameras in audio when you're watching this undercover cop through drug deals with these people in his car, and it was so freaking cool. And then Aubrey makes fun of me

to this day about this, which isn't nice. But then they elected me jury foreman because when we were finally done with all this, we go back into the room and there's these twelve thirteen people milling around. They said to elect a jury foreman, and we go back and I said, hey, what are we doing. We got convictions to make here, we got to elect a foreman, so let's have a freaking vote and figure out who the

foreman's going to be so we can move forward. And they all said, well, you seem to be taking control of everything anyway, why don't you be the foreman? And so I said, yeah, that probably is right. I should be the frigging foreman. So everyone sit at him, let's get voting, and we were in and out of there, Chris in like an hour, and then think there were I think there were ten charges or something like that. Boom boom boom. I had him organized Adam squared away,

guilty on all counts. Of course, what Chris and Ob for some reason things that's the funniest thing in the world. And now whenever I take charge of a situation, which she says is all the time, and that's not true. That's completely not true that I do that all the time, but she says it is. Every time I do that, she always says in this snotty little voice, Jery form and Jery form, it's not funny, Chris, why do you take Chris Side. It's not funny at all, and it's

not true. I just had to square away those morons in that one situation. Now I'm ready. Okay, let's dig into this border stuff because there's a lot of it. The mayor of Denver, Mike Johnston, he really laid something out there that is something to think about. Remember, we've been talking about how the deep state is not defeated, they're not retreated. They've fallen back to a secondary position

and they're regrouping and they're getting ready mass deportation. You didn't think they were just gonna lay down for that, right. This has been a podcast from wor
