Tariff Wars

versus Sharia law. All that and so much more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. And a reminder again, yes, Chris, I will remind them again. The names are already flooding in. But on Monday we will be here. We will be live here and if you miss it, you can download a podcast. But of course, but we will do a Memorial Day special on Monday, not our normal show. We won't be goofing off, we won't be doing politics. It will be all honoring the fallen.

It's gonna be a bunch of history, history wars, battles, honoring the fallen. And if you have a name of somebody who died in service to this country, name rank, conflict. You can email it in Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. They're already piling up. We will try try to read every single name so we can honor those who gave it all for this country. And one more word on this before we get into the questions. I told you

yesterday that Memorial Day is only for the fallen. I warned you about watering it down and all the veterans and firefighters, and don't do that. Don't do that. I know you're doing it out of politeness. The people who gave their lives for this country and their families left behind deserve an unwatered down day, their own sacred day. However, enjoy yourself this weekend. I will tell you this. I know people who died for this country. Every single guy

I know who died for this country. I promise you would want you to enjoy yourself this weekend. They wouldn't want you sitting around. Don't listen to anybody tell you what it's not about. Hot dogs and family time. Have hot dogs, have family time, enjoy yourself, enjoy your long weekend, all right, all right, now, Jesse, You often correctly say you voted for this after the population of blue cities keep electing or re electing Democrats scumbag leadership. However, you

never really die into why. The fact of the matter is this is a significant portion of the voting popu population that could care less, so on and so forth. Okay, why why do big city Democrats continue to go re elect the worst scumbags in the world who destroy your cities? First, let's cover this. Big city Democrats really Democrats in general. But people vote generally for the same party every time. Most voters vote for the same party every time. And

I'm not just pointing fingers at the other side. If I walk into a voting booth and I don't know who to vote for or whatever, I vote for the Republican. But even if I do know who to vote for, I vote for the Republican every time. So that's that. And oftentimes, oftentimes it's generational. You vote for the party your family always voted for. Well, my parents always voted for Republicans, so I vote my parents. So there's that.

That is extremely strong. Why do you think it is that there are so many Democrats, especially older Democrats who are probably more moderate blue dog types, even Southern Democrat types, you know, pro life, but you like unions or something like that. Yet they won't vote for Republicans. Well, they've been voting Democrats for their entire lives. It's hard to break that chain when that's what you've always done. You may complain about Democrats, you may not like the direction

Democrats are going, but you still vote for Democrats. So that's part of it. Another huge part of it.

city Republicans, they know they're not going to win. And look, I'll be honest with you, if I lived in Washington, d C. Still, even though I lived in Northern Virginia, but we'll call it DC, when I lived there for a year, I don't know how often I would vote. Isn't that terrible? I mean, I think I'd probably make myself vote just because I feel odd to do it, and I would want to do it in front of

my kids. But a city that's ninety four percent ninety two percent Democrat or something like that, why even waste the gas to drive down to the polls. You're not winning anything. So what happens is Republicans in these big cities don't bother to show up. And it's completely understandable, and most Democrats don't bother to show up. But who does show up the most committed communists in the city. You don't have to rally that many votes. Whether it's

a big city or a small town. If it is a local election, it is winnable depending on the circumstances. In fact, I want to read you this email. Got this email a few days ago. I want to read this to you, Jesse. I'm going to leave out the location because I don't know that he wants that Red Jesse. I won my primary for it's a it's a city council, or it's because you berated us to get involved small towns, says. You know what the turnout was for Republican voters thirty percent?

He writes it right here in the email. He said, that makes it easy for us to win because all you have to do is knock on doors for less time than watching a football game. The people who vote are the people who care, and if you care enough to knock on doors and introduce yourself as a candidate, you win. So I went from being an anti communist on the water board to the town council asked me not to name his name, and I of course will not.

Now that's the example in the other direction. When we think if we're in a small area, small town, we think to ourselves, Wow, city council, you know, county board of supervisors, any of these things. We think these things are unattainable. Wow, that guy who's on there, he's been there for twenty years. Yeah, he hasn't had the campaign for like fifteen years. Because nobody shows up to vote, you can go take back these positions of power, and

you should. But vice versa. In the big cities, they don't, won't change how they vote. They'll complain and they'll yell, and they're uh, you know, New York City, they'll elect Bill de Blasio, and then they hate his guts. I hate him. I hate him. He sucks. I hate him. He's terrible. The cops hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. He's up for reelection right back into office again. Human beings have a hard time

changing their bad habits. We all do, I do. But big city democrats they really truly vote for their own demise. And then of course you have the ghetto areas of the big city, and they're always always enlisted like an army. Oftentimes they cheat, by the way, using these areas. If you go into like Harlem in New York City, would be a wonderful example of this, even though they're it's getting better, but either way, Harlem would be a wonderful

example of this. The black population of Harlem. The Democrats just pray on these people because they don't really give a crap that much about paulolitics. In large part, they don't care about politics, and so Democrats they'll ballot harvest all the time. Hey, everybody, bring me your ballot. And those people don't give a crap if you're in a really poor part of town. Oftentimes those people don't care

about politics. Got bigger fish to fry, trying to avoid getting shot and everything else, so they just don't care about politics. It's a real self licking ice cream cone. These big cities. Democrat politics snowballing the more Democrat politics, which snowball into more Democrat politics, and it's never ending. And then what else happens is anybody read anybody saye they move out, they're gone. There's not Republicans in Manhattan, not many of them. They got to Long Island. They're gone.

If you have to work in the city, you're gone. You pack it up and you leave. And the same thing happens in La same thing happens in San Diego. You're not gonna stay in the city center with all that blue filth. You're gonna find the reddest suburb you can find that's still a decent commute to work, and you're gone, So you don't even get to vote in it. It just it's a it's a big old fat mess. Now, let's talk about moving. Let's talk about tariffs.

So let me warn you right off the bat, buddy, because I have buddies who have moved from San Diego. There is something I'm sure you appreciate, but maybe not enough that you're going to have to give up. I understand San Diego has really, really, really fallen off since the dirty comedies have filled it up with crime and homelessness. I get that the gas Lamp District, all that wonderful stuff. San Diego is just isn't what it was when I used to enjoy it. But it's still perfect weather all

twelve months of the year. And that doesn't exist anywhere else in the United States of America except for southern California. It just does not. So you really, really really need to prepare yourself for summers where you sweat a lot, for winters where you freeze for you're going to move and you're going to discover this wild concept of four seasons, and not all of them are pleasant. So I'm just warning you that, right off the bat, as far as

states go, what's a good way. I'll tell you what's it under state right now that is starting to elect some seriously, seriously far right people. Everybody knows about Florida. Everyone knows about Florida and Ronda Santis and the amazing job he's done there. So I'm not gonna tell you Florida. Missouri, no me, he thinks about Missouri. Missouri has some crazy beautiful spots to it. Missouri is going hard hard right. Missouri is worth a look. Arkansas is worth a look,

of course. Texas. Oklahoma's amazing. Oklahoma doesn't get near enough credit. Oklahoma's a sweet place. Nebraska. Now, moving from San Diego to Nebraska, maybe a little bit of a environmental shock. It is a touch flat, I will say, But Nebraska has it together as far as governments go. If that's what you're asking me, though, you want to move to a red state that has you know, read this, read this red read up and down. There is not a red state that doesn't need more help, more maintenance. Red

state that look Texas in particular. But I don't even mean to sing about my own state, Texas, our state legislature, our Republicans are embarrassing here. Embarrassing they're half Democrats here. Honestly, Wyoming. Everyone knows my love for the Rocky Mountains and Wyoming and Antelo Punt and all that stuff. I've been up there a million times. That's really where I grew up in Montana, right up there by it. Wyoming is embarrassing

with its Republicans. It sends they're all Republicans. You know. There's not a registered Democrat in the state, I don't think. But the Republicans they send, they're half Democrats. They put in R by their name. What's the perfect trifecta, what's a good way to check let me go ahead and spoil it for you. There ain't a good one. Every single one of them need help. Every single red state needs help. I probably should have mentioned this though, the Carolinas.

I've brought this up before. If you've never spent any time in the Carolinas, I would recommend it. I love the Carolinas. Did you just sneer at the Carolinas? Chris? What is your problem North Carolina? What's wrong? What's wrong with South Carolina?

should be looked at. Don't discount North Carolina. Hey, Jesse, Happy Friday. Not to be overly pessimistic here, but I just have a really bad feeling about the tariff war. At this point, I was hopeful until recently it seems President g has won this round, and by that he's won for the long ride. I know his days are numbered, China isn't doing well, so on and so forth. Will the end of the ninety days be Donald Trump's Will the end of ninety days be Donald Trump's second chance?

Or is that window permanently closed? Okay, So just to recap what he's talking about here, we are in a trade war with China. It's just nobody's firing shots yet. Meaning Donald Trump wants a reset on how global trade works, on where things are made. We'll focus on that part of it, where things are made. I get that, and I agree. I want to make things here in America. I want blue collar jobs here in America, manufacturing jobs here in America. So that's what Trump wants. But here's

the problem with that. Have you ever been super out of shape and started working out? Hurts, doesn't it? Chris is saying, yes, that's right, Chris, it hurts. It hurts. Your joints, hurt your muscles hurt. It hurts. That's because your body has gotten used to not doing it, and now trying to make changes is going to be painful. You're going to win skittting on and off the toilet. Economically, the world, the entire world has gotten used to making things in China.

did this for a couple different reasons. One, China wanted to start making things there. So China started focusing on that by incentivizing businesses to come there. Hey, come here, come here, come here. We don't have an EPA, who's gonna bother you. We're gonna just start up your factory here. You can dump sludge into the water for all we give a crap. Make your things here, make your things here. So it became financially beneficial. While China was making it

financially beneficial. It's not just America, the other major countries, the other economic hours in the world, the UK, America, everything else. They started allowing more and more leftism to creep into their politics. The West in general, I know, we just want an election. The West in general has only moved to the left. From a thirty thousand foot view, if you're looking down on it, they've only moved left left, left, left left. Well, the more you go towards communism, the

less business friendly it's going to be. Because the left believes in controlling businesses. You will do this, will regulate that, you need a permit for this, will tax that. So as Western civilization has gotten more hostile to business, China has gotten friendlier to business, and inevitably that has sucked all the business, all the manufacturing, I should say, into the waiting arms of China. That brings us where we are now. Donald Trump sees this as a huge issue,

and he's correct. He sees it as a national security issue, and he's correct about that as well. So how do we get it back? It's the ultimate question. How do we get it back? Trump has believed in tariffs for as long as Donald Trump has spoken about public policy. This is not something I've tried to explain this to people. This is not something Trump came up with yesterday, and

you're not going to talk him out of it. Donald Trump was speaking about tariffs and protectionism a long time before he even ran for president or got involved in public office. He believes in that all the way. He's very much a protectionist. So now he views tariffs as a way to essentially force those businesses to come back home. Forced them to come back home. In fact, let me do this. It's completely unprofessional. Sorry, I'm doing this on the fly. Here. He set out this message this morning.

As a matter of fact. Quote, this is a public message Trump put out. I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhones will be sold in the United States of America, will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India or any place else. If that is not the case, a tariff of at least twenty five percent must be paid by Apple to the US. Thank you for your attention in this matter. Well, he actually said thank your for your

attention in this matter. But I get it, Donald, Do I misspell things all the time? It's no big deal. This is what he believes. If you're not going to bring your business back here, I'll I'll essentially find you, is what he's saying. I will, I will find you for not bringing your business back here. Now, you can love that or you can hate that. It doesn't matter. But the truth is that fine, whatever it is, it

doesn't change what's happened over the decades. The manufacturing is there, and the manufacturing is there well because China wants it there and we ran them out, and those things haven't really changed. And you can argue that Donald Trump is deregulating the economy here, and he is. He's doing a very good job regulating deregulating the economy. He's getting all this ridiculous regulation out of the way. However, if I let's say I want to start a big steel factory,

that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do steel. Okay, all right, Well, Donald Trump and his policies are good for me. Good. I think I'll start a big steel factory in Ohio because Donald Trump and his policies are good for me. Now, let me ask you something, how long is it going to take me? I have an empty plot of land to get a steel man steel factory up and running. Where that is a year? Two years, Let's just say a year. You don't have to be

a construction expert. Let's say a year. Okay, good, Let's say I start now. Good, it is May twenty third. I'm gonna start right now. So May twenty third of twenty twenty six, my steel factory is up and running and churning and burning. How much money have I invested? How much money, frankly have I borrowed? To get that steel factory up and running. I had to get what we'll wake up a number. I had to get a I had to get a fifty million dollar loan from

the bank to get that manufacturing up and running. So now I'm paying off a fifty million dollar mortgage getting my steel up and running. However, it's May twenty third, twenty twenty six, a year from now. That's two years away from an election. If Democrats win that election, they will immediately put back into place a bunch of policies that make my steel factory basically defunct. They'll put me out of business, and then I'm on the hook for a fifty million dollar mortgage and I can't pay it

off because Democrats hate me. So whatever we do now, you always, if you're a businessman, you don't have to be involved in politics. If you're a businessman, you can be completely agnostic about politics. If you're a businessman, the prospect of Democrats taking power again is always looming over you, always looming over you. You are one Democrat election away from getting smashed. And you can say all day long

til you're blue in the face, they're unpopular. Right now, it looks like we're probably gonna have a really great candidate, probably gonna be jd Vance or someone like Dad. They let's say they have some idiot like Newsom or someone be there. Oh, there's no way jd Vance is going to lose the Newsom Old, don't give me that. What happens three months before the election, we found out jd Vance has been jd Vance has been cheating on his taxes for five years. No, I don't think jd Vance

has done that. But that's the kind of stuff that happens in politics. Some huge scandal pops up right before the election, only it's a legitimate scandal. Boop boop boop. Gavin Newsom's President. My steel meal gone gone. If we don't fundamentally change the Democrat Party, we cannot ever truly bring manufacturing back here in a lasting way. We can. Look, Donald Trump can cut these deals, and I'm glad he is. We cut a deal and they're gonna build a factory here.

We're cut a deal and they're gonna do this. We cut a deal, he's gonna build this. That's great, that's wonderful. But all that changes like that the second the American people lose their minds again and vote for another communist. The communist is going to come in. He's gonna regulate every single part of the whole thing, drive all these businesses out, and then we're screwed. Look at the Keystone Pipeline. Remember the conversation we have with Daniel Turner, that big

Keystone pipeline, all those jobs. Joe Biden comes in, it was the first day he stops it. Executive order stops the Keystone Pipeline. Do you have any idea how much money and time it took in it took to get the permitting and everything done to get that pipeline started. We get we elect a Democrat, he destroys it. Now Donald Trump has already publicly said he wants to start it up again. But if you're the keystone pipeline, guys, why would you bother again? Oh? Why would I bother

firing it up? I'm one Democrat away from getting all my money blown away again. You see the issue? Now, I guess I didn't ever actually get into the trade war portion of this, which we can. We can. Let's stick into that. It is Jesse Kelly Show on a Fantastic Friday tacking about tariffs in the coming trade war, and then we have all kinds of other questions we're going to get into here now. In fact, we may even talk about Abraham Lincoln next. Someone wanted to talk

about him. But somebody's nervous about the true war that's coming. Well, remember we got to pause a ninety day pause on the trade war while they try to work something out. But I, along with a lot of people I trust, are very pessimistic something will be worked out. Because of what we just talked about. The world has adjusted to things being made in China and bought in America. That's

what the world has adjusted to. This is you know, I've made this, I've made this comparison before when I was talking about national divorce, how I believe we should get a divorce as a country. We won't go into the details of that right now, but I've said it's like it's like a married couple that doesn't have any common values at all. He wants to live in the suburbs and go to church on Sunday and raise a family. She wants to go tour with Metallica and do black

tar heroin in Europe. Those those two people are too far apart. There's no no, there's no common values. He can't. They need to separate. So let's do that here. When it comes to the trade war, China's entire economy, in fact, jijin Ping's political power rests on them making things in China because if they stop. They already experienced this when Trump fired the first shot in this little trade war.

When those manufacturing facilities stop, jijin Ping all of a sudden has ten twenty thirty forty million people angry, hungry, and out of work. That's how you get a revolution in your country. You don't survive. He has to make things there. He's built his entire life on it. Vice versa Donald Trump is dead serious about making things here structurally. I don't see how that changes in ninety days. I don't now. I don't want to act like all is lost.

It may not be. Both of these gentlemen have interest in making a deal because if a trade war comes, and what that's probably probably close to sixty days away. Now, if a trade war actually does come, everyone will feel it. And in fact, it's not hard to imagine a trade war turning into a real war of some kind somewhere. They usually do. There's an old old saying, and I don't even know who said it, when goods stop crossing borders,

armies will. It's very true. It's very true. When you get in a trade war with somebody, what you've done is you've created a hostile situation and they don't have They don't have as much to lose as they did before. That's why Donald Trump loves to do d deals, keep the peace. They do when you go strike a deal with somebody and hey, I'm benefiting economically and you're benefiting economically. Hey we don't want to. Let's not fight about anything here.

We're both making a lot of money. We're doing fine deals. Keep the peace. What if you don't have a deal. What if a deal is broken, Well, then you can end up in a really bad situation. Dear anti commy coach, the subject of this one is Civil War. I just heard your thoughts about Lincoln keeping the Union together and the resulting outcome of America having a huge influence on the world wars. Didn't you miss something? Oh, Abe was a staunch abolitionist. I think preservation of the Union was

the pretext, but the ultimate goal was ending slavery. That's what I'm teaching my daughters. Anyway, your thoughts says I can use his name. His name is zach Eh. Not really, with all due respect, You're not crazy because Lincoln was a staunch evolutionist. To his credit. To his credit, he thought slavery was freaking abhorrent and wanted it stopped. And he deserves credit for thinking that, because slavery is freaking abhorrent. Owning another human being as gross. But that is not

why Lincoln fought the Civil War. The Civil War was started to keep the Union together. Abraham Lincoln did not believe the South had the ability, had the authority under the law, to break away and become their own country. He was dead wrong about that. By the way, of course, the South had the authority to break away. The States would never have joined and become the United States if they didn't think they had the authority to break away at some point in time. So he was dead wrong,

I mean, by the law. He was dead wrong about that. But that's why he fought it. He was so adamant about the Union staying together. He actually offered the South, Hey, you can keep your slaves, just come back to the Union. Lincoln offered them that he was sitting in an a evolutionist. I don't want to act like he wasn't. I don't want to act like he wasn't serious about that. He

was obviously dead serious about that. But Abraham Lincoln, he was willing to let all those slaves stay right on the plantation getting abused, as long as the South came back into the Union. Now, no one ever learns these facts because American schools are so dumb down at this point. You're only allowed to learn North good South. Bat That's the extent of people's knowledge on the Civil War. But as I've told you a million times before, the Civil

War was an incredibly complicated affair. A horrible affair with angels and demons on both sides of the equation. Now, people will take that whatever way they want to take that. I don't give a crap how you take it. But it was not some clean We love clean, we love movies. That's the good guy, very, that's Captain America. Look at him. His teeth are perfect, he's handsome. He's fighting against red skull. Look at his skull. Look how ugly he is. He's

a murderer. He kills people. That's the bad guy. That's the good guy. Good must fight against evil. And when we love that, but human beings, when it comes to human beings, that's very rarely the case, very very rarely the case. You have to go. You have to take your bad to extreme in order to make yourself well, very clear the Hitler right, and you have to you have to try to exterminate every jew on the planet.

Before people were all, okay, well, we probably found our bad guy here is this is most likely not the good guy in the story. Real life doesn't work that way. Oftentimes it doesn't work that way. We want clean, we want clean and easy, and that slavery's part of that conversation. It makes it easy for people. Well, they wanted slaves and they didn't, So those are the good guys and those are the bad guys. Completely not true, completely not true,

very very complicated affair. Let's move off that. Let's talk about the Communists around Joe Biden, Islam versus Communism. That's interesting. All that and so much more st to come on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show as we go into Memorial Day. Hang on,
