Trump, the tariffs, and China

That's always a really good time. Some very very terrible admiral got kicked out of the Navy. Someone terrible got kicked out of the Irs. We'll talk about the communist infiltration, naming your kids, Michelle Obama's podcast as a gigantic flop, all that emails, and so much more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. But I actually want to first start with Trump tariffs, China negotiating all these things. I'll get to there that in a moment.

Let me tell you a little boot camp story. Marine Corps boot camp. You see, Marine Corps boot camp is a fascinating thing to a lot of people. Who've never been through it, and to people who have been through it, I'll say this Marine Corps boot camp is so effective at taking young people in molding them into something totally different from what they were before. That Marine Corps boot Camp is studied by nations around the globe. Did you

know that they will send observers. Schools in other countries will send observers to Marine Corps boot camp to try to figure out, Wait, three months, it's three months worth. How did you take that and turn him into that? How do you do that? So here's something that happens to you certainly happened to me multiple times in boot camp. So I want you to picture this. Okay, this will come back to Trump and everything else. You's got to

stay with me for a month. You can picture in your mind what the barracks look like in Marine Corps boot camp. You've seen enough movies to know I'm not going to insult your intelligence. You know you have rows of bunks on each of the sides, and then rows of bunks up the middle. Right, you picture this is the barracks. It's Marine Corps boot camp. Here's a bunk. You got it, Okay, at the foot of every single bunk, because again it's two beds. There are two foot lockers.

You know what a foot locker is, the big rectangular box. In this foot locker in boot camp MP is everything you own, and I want to stress you're not going to find your iPhone in there. It's everything you're allowed to have, which is only Marine Corps stuff. That's it. I think when I was in you were allowed to have some letter writing things if you wanted to physically write a letter home, other than that your foot locker.

It is as marine as it gets. And one of the most amazing things is, let's say there are eighty people in a boot camp platoon. If you went up and down the line and opened up eighty foot lockers, all eighty would look virtually identical. They are organized the same way, labeled the exact same way. This is here, that is there. You have little labels on your socks, on your everything. Everything is folded or rolled in the exact same way, clean, neat organized. You're picturing this. Stay

with me now. There will come a day if you find yourself a Marine Corps boot camp where the drill instructors are going to punish you. The infraction will generally be real, but it usually is not that big of a deal, at least not in your mind at the time. Your buddy didn't shave. Maybe there's a foot locker inspection and you will definitely have those. You will be forced to unlock your foot locker, open it up, and they will go through to make sure everything is labeled and

organized correctly. Or who God forbid, they walk by and they find your foot locker has been unlocked. You may catch the drill instructor on the wrong day, or maybe, just like in Donald Trump's case, maybe this is all planned. The drill instructors will collectively lose their minds on you, and this is what will happen. Next. You're picturing all these bunks. Remember the bunks have been meticulously made down to the inch. It has to be done perfectly. The

footlockers meticulous. Everything's done perfectly. The instructors will well, at least the time they did it to us. They herded us all into the bathroom. We all piled into the bathroom where they dumped ammonia on the floor so we couldn't breathe. As guys are trying to get their breath and crying. The drill instructor crying just because it's in

your eyes. The drill instructors went back out to the barracks, took every single bunk, destroyed it, dumped the mattress and the things on the bunk into one big pile in the center of the barracks. They then took every single foot locker, eighty of them, eight zero meticulously organized. They made you unlock it beforehand, and then they dumped the contents of every single foot locker in the exact same

pile in the middle of the barracks. And then they dragged you, coughing and crying, out of the bathroom and essentially said, look, you have ten minutes fix it, which, of course is impossible, and if I remember right, it was probably two or three hours of we would run as fast as we could to get everything fixed. Is that your shoes? Does are my socks? Help me with the bed? Someone helped me with this? You would fail

because it can't be done in ten minutes. They would then drag everything back into the center, dump it all out in the center, and make you do it again and again and again and again and again. Now, why is it just torture? Is that it eh, ah, you're right, Chris. Maybe that's a little bit of it. Is it just torture. Chaos in the appearance of chaos can be extremely beneficial. It's intentional. If there's a purpose to it, you will learn in the end. You want to hear something insane,

here's something insane, but it's true. Towards the end of that two hours, you're sweating, you're doing pushups, you're miserable, you're frustrated, they're dumping, they're yelling. It's horrible. Towards the end of that two hours, myself and most of my close friends, when the drill instructors weren't looking, started laughing about the whole thing. This is just ridiculous. This sucks. Oh gosh, life sucks. You're laughing about the whole thing.

You learn to deal with the chaos, the misery, to process it a different way, and there's an educational benefit. How many guys left their foot lockers unlocked after that fateful day zero. When you open up the doors and you walk in and drill instructors are dumb being everyone's stuff in the center, it looks like chaos, insanity, anarchy, pointless insanity. That's what it looks like but chaos or the appearance of it, can be used to great benefit, and has been used to great benefit time and time

and time again. So let's talk about Donald Trump. It's gonna be kind of about tariffs, but it's not really about terrifts, because there's something that I see happening repeatedly, over and over and over again. Ninety nine percent of the US population takes part in this, and it baffles me to no end. Trump has a negotiating style that is not uncommon in the business world. No, everybody doesn't do it like this, but it's not uncommon in the

business world. Trump has an extremely chaotic or at least appearingly chaotic style of negotiating. And so what he will do when he is trying to get something out of Kim the tyrant in North Korea, Trump will do and say everything. He will insult him. He'll wake up one morning and go to social media. This stupid fat blob in North Korea. What an idiot? He better be careful. I'll shove a missile up his rear end. And then the very next day I'll tell you I've always gotten

along with Kim. He's been a pretty good dude, and I'll tell you very very reasonable, and then the next day you wake up, I'll send some warships over there. We'll pulverize that place to nothing. Then the next day, you know, I could see some real nice properties in North Korea, and I think Kim has a good vision for the country. And what happens is Trump's worshippers and Trump's haters, they all react to every single thing he says, every single day, running to and fro. Did you see

what Trump said out so cheat? It's Oh my gosh, I love him. Oh my god. Act you see what Trump said? What an idiot, what a moron. This guy's crazy. This guy's gonna destroy us. All his worshipers, his lovers every single day chasing the laser across the room like they're cats. Oh my gosh, it's great. It's horrible that. Why are you still doing that to yourself? Trump negotiates like that. It appears chaotic with a goal in mind. And I'm not saying his goal was always correct. I'm

saying it's always wrong. He's aiming for something. Always talk about that a little bit more in a moment before we talk about that. Why are you putting up a pain. Why do you think you have to live like that? You don't have to live doing the thing because your back hurts every time you bend over. Oh, I know it's a sound familiar. Yeah, I know what that feels like. Why are you doing the the rubbing your knee, your elbow,

your hand that hurts all the time. Stop and stop taking things to ask it because that's terrible for you. Try relief Factor one hundred percent drug free to supplement. It's a unique formula of natural ingredients. You see, your body's already trying to fight the inflammation. Your body's just needs a little boost. That's what relief Factor is to boost. Stop treating it temporarily and stop ignoring it and get it out of your life so you can get back

to living the way you want to live. Three weeks of it is nineteen ninety five one eight hundred the number four relief or go to relief Factor dot com. We'll be back. This is the Jesse Kellyeshew Show dot com. Yes, we got a bunch of hate mail too, of things I said yesterday and all kinds of people who love the history hated the history. I don't care. We're still gonna do that again about forty five minutes from now.

Back to what we were talking about, and I'll play you some Trump things from today because you saw it. It was two three days of everyone's getting a tariff, teriffs for everybody. Today we wake up and uh, hold on a minute, just China's getting a tariff.

We're going to go down to a ten percent baseline tariff live for them, and China will be raised to one five due to their insistence on escalation.

with China. That would be cutting your own throat, because I can tell you that these Chinese exports that the US tariff wall is going to keep out that China. For all of you who can remember that, Disney.

was the most brilliant thing in history. And this is not me coming here telling you that Trump's tariff trade war was the dumbest thing in history. Neither of those things are true. This is me telling you that Donald Trump has a goal in mind. He has a chaotic way of negotiating things where he will come down seemingly on all sides of every issue. He will insult and compliment every person involved in every issue, and from the

outside looking in, it appears chaotic. And if you take anything he says during negotiations as face value as evidence of his brilliance or the fact that he's the devil himself. You are, in fact the moron, because we have years in years in gears of evidence showing this is how he does it. When Trump talks about Greenland, it's actually a perfect example of this. Can you even go down the list of all the things he's said about Greenland? I want green then we're gonna buy it. I think

we'll buy it. Now you know what, we might military invade it, think Obama. I love the people there. Hey, the people there better be careful. I'm not really sure. I might send a smart bomb. I might send some cash. Hey, what do you think? And every single day, whether you adore Donald Trump or whether you think he's garbage, he gives you something else to wrap your arms around and say, look, look he's a moron. I told you he's a moron. Or look look I told you he's perfect. Look at

the God King. He's perfect. He's a man with a goal, and he has an idea of how to get to the goal. And chaotic negotiating is how he gets to every single goal every single time. I didn't say you can't insult the goal. Maybe you don't like the goal. That's fine. You're a human being with thoughts and feelings, and you're allowed to have opinions on Trump too. Hate him or love him, I don't care. But let's rise

above the stupid daily noise. Let's rise above reacting and responding to everything Trump says when he's in the middle of an agotiation. What Trump says when he's in the middle of a negotiation. I'm not going to say it's meaningless, because he does it with a purpose, but it is nothing, absolutely nothing that you should ever take the heart because one day he's gonna call you a fat, ugly moron, and the next day he's gonna wake up and tell you you're the most beautiful person he's ever seen in

his life. Is it Trump being different? Yeah, it's very different. It's very very different. It's hard for a lot of people to understand what's going on, but that's what he's doing. And you know what, Today it's about tariffs in China. Tomorrow it'll be about something else, and the next day it'll be about something else, And the eternal hyperventilating class will continue every day responding to everything said, as if what I just said isn't painfully obvious. He has a purpose.

Chaotic negotiations have a purpose, and Trump uses them to his advantage. Let's at least be mature enough to realize that. All right, let's talk about something else wonderful that just happened yesterday. Next it is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Wednesday. I'm so happy to be or as you can tell, it's been a better mood today. Got some good breakfast tacos this morning that really put me on what Chris, No different place, Buddy, I told

you a different place, that other one. I'm never going back, buddy, powdered eggs. You're dead to me. You're dead to me. You might as well spit in my face. Anyway, had some good breakfast tacos today. Really it set the tone for my day. When I wake up, knock out some good breakfast tacos, it's gonna be a good day now. I'm maybe I'm just in a good mood because of the news out of Texas. Uh spoiler alert, I'll circle back to this, haha, Jen Zaki, I'll circle back to it.

But Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced last night that he's going to challenge John Cornyan, Texas Senator John Cornyn in a primary. John Cornyn's primary is next year, So pause on that. We'll come back to that specific thing. Why why can't we get things done faster? It's April ninth. How much of the Trump agenda that you voted for? How much of it has been written into law? We have the House, we have a Senate. Why isn't more

getting done? That's concrete, right? I like the executive orders? You like the executive orders. That's fine, But you know, just like I do. I know you know this. You email about it all the time. Next guy's just going to come in and undo them all sadway Trump on did Biden's why is it more getting done? Why? Why aren't we getting real spending cuts? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Well? Congress is the problem, the House and Senate. Remember it's

all Congress, the House and Senate. Okay, well that's kind of general, though, who who's the problem? Long serving Republicans? You know them as establishment or swamp types. They are not only the problem in DC. They are the ones who keep their foot in the door so communism can continue to invade every single part of the United States of America. They are not the communists themselves. They're the ones who keep the door open. So how did they

even stay there? What's going on? Well, here's how it works. I've explained it before in DC, the Mitch McConnell's of the world, the John Cornyns of the world. How it works is they get to Washington, DC and what you find out is this. I actually experienced this when I was running for office. These gigantic industries, some good, some bad I've been in general, they're just industries that are

in it for themselves. They start lobbying you, they will You'll end up at a dinner with them, at a party with them, at something with them, and they'll will make this about the defense industry because it's one of

the most crooked industries in the country. Let's say you're at the at a big dinner and all the big shots from who's a big one, Boeing are there, All the big shots from Boeing are there, and they're gonna start pouring honey in your ear about how necessary this weapon system is and how necessary that one is, and

why are they telling that to you? Senator? They're saying that to you because there's a new budget coming up, and they want to ensure that you will put a large amount of money for them in the new bill that's coming. Okay, but why would you do that. You're a senator from a red state. Your constituents want you to be fiscally responsible. Will you do that? Because there's a there's a give and take. If you will, they're gonna make sure your campaign coffers are full of millions

and millions of dollars. That's how it works. They will write gigantic checks for your reelection campaign. You will take the gigantic checks that have been written to you buy the DC swamp. The DC swamp is rich, and you will not only fund your own reelection campaign, you will shell that money out to other senators or potential senators. You'll host big fundraisers for them, You'll write them checks, and in return, they will elect you to important, powerful

committee positions in the Senate because you help them out. Hey, Chris, here's ten million dollars for your Senate campaign in Montana. Oh you won your Senate campaign in Montana. Hey, Chris, can I count on your vote for GOP leadership in the Senate?

it is. Reform, what cuts, That's the last thing in the world you want. In fact, you are paid by these industries in a roundabout way. You are paid by these industries in part to ensure there is no reform. You are paid to make sure nothing changes. That's what John Cornyn, That's why he gets all that money, That's why all that money flows in. He is paid by industries who want the crooked status quo to remain. And on top of buying all that influence, he does something else.

You Honestly, this will apply to all of America, not just Texas. Stay with me here, because they all do it. McConnell does it, Thune does it, Cassidy does it, Rounds does it. Graham does it. They all do it. They'll do it. They hoover up all this DC cash. They screw us over for five of the six years they're in the United States Senate because senators serve six year terms, and then well you see, if you have to defend them. They understand norm They understand Norma. They understand the GOP

primary voter. They know who he is, they know where he is, they know what he watches, they know what he listens to. And when electioneer rules around, they take millions and millions and millions of dollars that's been hoovered up from the DC swamp and they saturate the television airwaves, the radio airwaves. Today it's social media is a huge place where they spend a bunch of money YouTube or

Twitter or Facebook or wherever you may be Instagram. They spend millions and millions and millions of dollars telling Norman Norma how conservative they are, and now more importantly, they tell them how much they love Trump. John Cornan actually grabbed this sound, but if you can find it, Chris, it was from yesterday, Ken Paxton, or maybe it was from today. Ken Paxton announced on the news last night that he was going to challenge John Cornyn for this

Senate seat. Maybe Chris will find it, maybe he won't. But John Cornan was asked about it in the Senate building, and I think John Cornyn mentioned Donald Trump's name five times in his response, Oh, what's that I'm being challenged for my Senate seat? Did I sign up with Democrats for gun control and things like that? Boy? You know what? You know what I have to say to that. I'm a big fan of Trump. I'm a Trump guy and

Trump this and Trump Trump Trump. I've always loved Trump, and I love Trump now I love him even more. And I'm a big trump man. That's gonna be what he runs on. He's going to spend millions and millions of dollars telling GOP primary voters in Texas that he and Trump they're best friends. Look at Donald Trump and me. I love being part of Trump and Trump this and Trump that. Oh, Chris, you have it? Yeah, play. This

was John Corner today. Do you have any level of concern about Paxton running for the right of you in his primary?

enough of it. And it's very very difficult, very difficult to find somebody who can make it interesting. I found that it's an eternal frustration of mine. Hillsdale makes it interesting. When Hillsdale's off ring a free online course about stories from the Book of Genesis, doesn't that sound like that has the potential to be boring? Oh my gosh, it's amazing. It's amazing the way Hillsdale presents these things in a way that not only I can enjoy it as a

history freak. But my kids, my wife, you want a free online course about the Constitution the Roman Republic, Hillsdale's giving them out at no cost. I just so appreciate that. Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse gets you a Hillsdale education at no cost. Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse. We'll be back the Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Wednesday, a hunt day, ten minutes away from doing some history, and then in the final hour

we go through hate mail. Michelle Obama's podcast is drought, the head of the Irs is leaving, and a woman named November June. Gosh, what a spectacular show we still have on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now, why should you care about the Texas Senate primary unless you're in Texas right listen to me, But why should you care? Well, we don't have one of these types John Cornyn types.

We have a lot of them. I'm not talking about Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski from these kind of purple states where that's about as good as we can hope for. We have a lot of these entrenched DC swamp establishment types. You know their names, Lindsey Graham and John Thune and Cassidy and Rounds and Tillis and the look. I could go down the list of them, red state after red

state after red state. They get in there, they feel comple completely secure in their seat because they're from blood red states, and they feel completely confident that they can screw their constituents over and then buy their way out of trouble in an election year. And they've been able to operate that way for a long time. But you can make an example of somebody. We've been talking about the Italian campaign of World War One. In fact, I'm going to wrap that up here in about ten minutes

from now. You know what decimation is? You ever heard that term? You probably have, most people have. We got decimated a decimation, But people actually use that term incorrectly. You see, decimation does not mean wiping out somebody entirely. It's not what it means at all. It's a Latin term that we're taken from a Latin term because that's what the Romans spoke. It means essentially one tenth. That's

what it means, decimal one tenth. But how did that work in practice if you and this wasn't used all the time in Rome, it was something they pulled out occasionally if your unit failed terribly or showed cowardice on the battlefield. They didn't want to kill all of you. Then you lose an entire unit. So they essentially drew straws. You ever drawn straws, They drew straws, and they would take one man out of ten and they would have his nine buddies, his nine friends, his nine buddies in

his unit. They would beat him to death. Horrible, isn't it absolutely awful? In fact, the Italians brought this practice back during that Italian World War One campaign. They would routine because there were all kinds of mutinies and all kinds of things going on because of the horrible battlefield conditions, they would just draw straws, find ten guys, twelve guys, and have the entire unit lineup and shoot them. Why

would you do something so horrible? I don't support the practice, I should note, but why is that something that's a thing? Because you just got to make an example of one and the others will learn it is everything that we defeat. John Cornyn next year in his Texas primary. It is everything because John Cornyn could. If you could build from scratch the evil establishment DC swamp GOP guy that I

just described, you would build John Cornyn. And if we are able to take him out in a primary in a red state, it'll do so much more than improve the United States Senate. It will send a message to every single one of these losers in the establishment that they had better be really, really careful when they think about screwing us over again, because now we have changed, Now we are involved. Now we will take you out in a primary if you do us wrong. We have

never sent these senators that message. Ever, We never do it. Every time we don't show up in the primary, or if we do, we do the same lame crap and we show up and vote for the guy who's been there screwing us over. These senators have lived on that. They have lived on our stupidity and our complacency. If we can change that and take out a GOP senator as powerful as John Cornyn, he's going to have unlimited money. It will be unlimited if we can take him out

with all that power, all that money. If we can take him out in a primary, it will send a shot across the bow of all these types. And look, I am aware of the Trump factor. I am, I am for all his benefits there is. I'm not sure there's a worse person to pick in GOP primaries, a worst selector of GOP primaries in the history of the Republican Party than Donald Trump. It's unbelievable. Look, one day he'll wake up and he'll call for a primary of Chip Roy. And the next day he wakes up and

pours love all over Lindsey Graham and endorses him. John Cornyn didn't drop that SoundBite that we played for you earlier. I'm a Trump guy. I love Trump, always loved Trump. He didn't drop that on accident. The rumor mill, the rumor mill is saying that John Thune, GOP Senate leader, John Thune, very powerful man, that his minions are pouring honey and Trump ear as we speak. Hey man, you got to endorse corn and Hey Cornyn's there for you.

Endorse corn and please endorse cornn. We don't have to pray that Donald Trump gets involved on behalf of Ken Paxton. Maybe he will, maybe he won't, But pray that Donald Trump does not endorse John Cornyn, because if he does endorse John Cornyn, and you better believe that's a possibility. Write that one down, Chris. If he does endorse John Cornyn, we're probably toast. It probably completely decaps our effort here. So look again, we don't have to have him on

Ken Paxton's side. As of right now, Ken Paxton is pulling ahead of John Cornyn. We can win this. We just can't have him counter signal that he's the most powerful, most influential Republican in the country. If he comes in on Corn's side, there's probably no way we're going to overcome that. Norm and normalll hear, oh okay, it's what Trump wants, and then we're finished, So pray about that. This has been a podcas cast from w o R.
