Who Decides Our Elections

morning with a congressman. I am reluctantly going to talk about the Epstein stuff from yesterday, and then I'm moving on. I honestly don't even feel like it, but I feel the need to tell you what I know and just express something, and then we're gonna move on. Hopefully that'll just be a few minutes, maybe a couple segments, I don't know. We're gonna talk more about affordability. We're going

to talk about the Communists being after your children. Will of course set aside sometime to make fun of Michelle Obama tracking down all these poor illegal slave kids in the country. A woman got set on fire in Chicago by a repeat felon emails, so much more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now, I'm going to read you something. I am not going to tell you who it's from because I was not given permission to do so. And that's just the way it's

going to be. A sitting member of Congress. I was texting with this guy today and he was disheartened beyond belief. This guy is one of the good ones. And contrary to what you and I like to believe, sometimes there are some really solid people there. They're just like you, they're just like me. They want to save the country, they're there to do some good. And he sounded close to retirement. I'll be honest with you, that's how crushed

he was. In fact, I probably don't need to read it exactly what was he crushed about, because you know, we had that big Epstein vote last night. It was something like four hundred and twenty seven to one. We had the big Epstein vote. The House voted, hey, release the files. The Senate voted okay, okay, sounds good. So what's the problem. Well, let me walk you through this. In case you've kind of been out of the news. There is a congresswoman by the name of Stacy Plasket.

She's a congresswoman from the Virgin Islands. I know, it's weird, It's okay. Well, Democrats thought they were going to hurt Trump and hurt Republicans with the release of all this Epstein stuff. But it turns out that Stacy Plasket was so close with Jeffrey Epstein that while she was having a meeting a committee meeting, meaning she's interrogating someone, someone's standing in front of sitting in front of her, and she's asking them questions under oath, Epstein is texting her

the questions to ask the person during the committee meeting. Now, I know multiple members of Congress, and I don't know of one of them who would. Now I've never done it, but who would text me back during a committee meeting. Maybe they would, I don't know, but that's kind of business time. So as all this stuff gets laid out, Stacy Plaskett doesn't look that great. Democrats look terrible. It's now the story of the day.

that matters is the revolution. So they will tell gigantic, verifiable lies to your face and repeat them over and over and over again without the slightest moral hesitation, because their morality doesn't in any way the morality of human beings. Here is Jasmine Crockett keep in mind, as she reads this list aloud, the Jeffrey Epstein's she's discussing, none of them are the Jeffrey Epstein. They all just share the same name. So it's just a gigantic life.

congressman from Florida. You can do your own research. It's he's got all kinds of controversies around him, not not one, multiple multiple. It's it's ugly. The financial stuff. It's just it's really really bad, and it failed because Republican leadership cut a deal with Democrat leadership that essentially went something like this, hey don't punish Stacy Plasket and we won't punish Corey Mills. Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee, one of the good ones. No, he's not the one I was with.

The audio is a little fuzzy, said this. He just exposed it all. So it failed. And what they did was they cut a deal. They cut a.

what's wrong? He is there to drain the swamp, to save the country, and to have our own GOP leadership torpedo. A vote to censure an evil communists was about enough to have him put in his retirement papers and not run for reelection. Spend my morning, well not my morning, spend probably twenty minutes trying to talk him off the ledge. Think I successfully did, but spent quite a while this

morning trying to talk him off the ledge. Let's talk about Washington, DC, politics, life, America, good people before we move on to so many other things. Let's talk, shall we? All the Epstein stuff got voted yesterday, released the files, and then of course they came out already and said, well, we have to redact some things for national security reasons, which of course begs the question would why would why

would there be national security reasons for Jeffrey Epstein's files? Anyway, setting outside, they failed to censure Stacey Plasket, who was texting with Jeffrey Epstein during a committee meeting. Democrats are knee deep involved in the Epstein stuff, and they failed to center Stacey Plasket because Republican leadership cut a deal with Democrat leadership. We'll protect our guy, you protect your girl. We'll all work out well. And the good ones are mad about it.

know something. I have to I get it. I have had multiple moments in my roughly twenty year involvement in politics where I have sumped my shoulders and said, you know what, man, screw this. I'm I'm going to go back to just watching football on the weekends and just not ever turning on the news, and I'll just be a dumb normy who doesn't participate in my country. I don't care anymore. It's worthless that I want to do

an attempt to encourage you with something though. Before we move on and we're going to talk about affordability and the education system and everything else. We have all kinds of stuff to get to. I wanted to encourage you with this that that is exactly what the evil, evil people in this country want. In fact, lots of the time, that's the purpose of it. Have you ever heard of Tokyo Rose. Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. But Tokyo Rose, she was a woman. She would come on over the air.

During World War II, our troops would be out on ships in the Pacific, or occasionally, if you got your hands on a radio, you'd be on land. Let's say you're in Okinawa, you're in Guadalcanal. You're a marine, you're a sailor. You've watched your friends die, You're going through hell, and you're looking for any kind of an escape. You can only smoke so many cigarettes, you can only talk about so many girls and food and things like that. Back home. You're always looking for an escape. And music.

Music is one of those very powerful things. Music creates feelings in people. I know you've experienced it, even if you didn't necessarily know what was happening. If you listen to music that's upbeat, you're going to get more upbeat and feel good. If you listen to music that's said everybody hurts, you're gonna be more sad. Women will do this. Ob does this. If you want to have a good cry, if you're already sad, you turn on sad music and just wade into it, right, I do the opposite. But

whatever to each his own. Music is powerful. It creates feelings in people. Japan understood the power of not just music, of demoralization. So what they did was this, They would put out music over the airwaves. Japan did this music's coming out over the airwaves? What kind of music? All the popular music of the day, All the music back in the day, back in the forties that the troops would be listening to if they were at the drive in movie theater with their girlfriend back home, that they'd

be listening to in a bar. That all the music that you would want to hear if you're a nineteen twenty year old man. Japan grabbed it and played it. But in between the music, in between the music, Tokyo Rose would come on the air and she would say things like, Hey, oh, you Marines getting ready to en invade Okinawa tomorrow. I want you to know you're all going to die. We've already made plans to kill every one of you. Your mom back home is going to get a letter over and over and over and over

and over again. Why Well, to demoralize the other side is more powerful than you can imagine, and evil people know it, and evil people will use it to their advantage. Don't let them get you down, even on bad nights where you find out corrupt GOP leadership cut a corrupt

deal with Democrat leadership. So a corrupt GOP congressman and a corrupt Democrat congresswoman would not find themselves in serious trouble, even on days like that, when your shoulders slump over and you say, screw this, I'm watching the game and I'm out of politics. Take a day if you need it, take a breath, eat a pizza, then get back on your horse. Don't let don't let them get you down. It's verbatim what I told that congressman who was ready

to retire this morning. Don't let the bad guys demoralize you. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Wednesday. I'll hobday so before we get to the affordability stuff of the news and things like that. So I'm doing a little self experiment. I teased it before the show, and Jewish producer Chris was really mad that I wouldn't expand. So I'm gonna go ahead and tell you, Chris. At the same time I'm telling all of the United States of America. Even though I'm warning you right now this

is the dumbest, most pointless thing in the world. It fascinates me. The human mind fascinates me. What makes people tick? Doesn't it fascinate you? Not just that people do think? Why do they do things? What drives people to do things? And we've had to talk before about a candy dish, and secretary has a candy dish there, and we've joked about it's always the three Musketeers left because it sucks, and people will tell you it doesn't suck, but it

doesn't lie. The candy dish doesn't lie. When people have options, they don't choose three Musketeers. I I know we're about to talk about affordability, so I don't want to rub my wealth in anyone's face. But I don't just have one highlighter here at the studio. We buy the five pack of highlighters here, five different colors. In case you're curious what I do with them. I try to make connections in my mind between stories and audio and things like that. So I highlight things just so what pops

into my head. Trying to do a better show. Anyway, Wealthy five pack of highlighters. The first time we got a five pack of highlighters, the yellow ran out right away. Why I'm used to yellow highlighters. It was always the one I grabbed first. Whatever the biggest thing was the thing I had to highlight the most, I went yellow. Now I've moved on. Now, in an effort to save money, I'm trying to evenly distribute my highlighter usage. But I don't track it. I just try to grab a different

one for a different story or a different topic. I have a pink one, a green one, a yellow one, a blue one, and an orange one in front of me. If you're watching, Yes, that's a chalk bottle that I keep them in. Which one's going to run out first? I don't know, Chris says yellow. Still, I don't know. And what does it say about my mind if one has a bunch left and the other one runs out first. Maybe nothing. Maybe there's some psychiatrist nerd listening who will

understand there's some meaning behind it. But one's gonna run out first, Chris, And I'm going to be curious as to why what Chris, I was right that this was stupid. I warned you it was stupid. Okay, I warned you that it was stupid. I can't help myself. I have stupid things that run through my head. Let's talk about something horrible, then, Chris, we'll talk about something important and horrible. Good. No, no, you did it. You don't want to talk about stupid.

Then let's talk about real stuff. How about this one Marist? Now, Marist is a polling company I should clarify, and a bad one. I want to make sure I'm clear about this, A bad one. Don't do the extremely dumbed down thing we do on the right. And every time there's a pole you see that you don't like, you say all the polls lie. We do that every time, and then when we see when we like, we say, oh that's

a good pollster. No, there are good posters and there are bad posters, depending on the methodology, how many people are pull the questions they asked? Who you actually asked? What percentage of Republicans? What percentage of Democrats? There are good pollsters, there are bad pollsters, and there are sometimes really reputable good posters who have polls that don't make us feel very good because we're not doing very good. I know where you stand politically, and you obviously know

where I stand politically. We have to get past that and figure out what's going to win or lose elections. So again, back to this poster. Who's a bad poster? I want to clarify they legitimate. Merist is legitimately not a great poster. But they ran a poll on something called the generic ballot. Now that is something maybe you've heard of before. Let me pause because I want to explain what that actually means. A generic ballot. What in

the world is a generic ballot? You call somebody someone actually answers and chooses to answer your questions, and you simply say, hey, who do you trust more on the economy, the border, or if you want to go super generic with the generic ballot, you say, who are you going to vote for in the midterms? Which party do you like more? Way generic Marist Again, admittedly a bad polster just did one. They have Democrats up fourteen points in the generic ballot. Stop for a second. You are correct

that that's a bad polster. Even a bad polster is probably not off that far. But let's let's let's build in for the fact that Marist sucks. You know what, that's way builded in. Let's cut that number in half. Let's say seven points. That's a lot. All right, that's a lot. Why why are we looking at an ugly midterm? Have you bought Burger lately? Have you bought anything? I look, here's here's a story. It's it's not huge, but Fox Business hidden cost of home ownership jumps, tightening the squeeze

on buyers. Now what hidden costs? Well, there are all kinds of costs that come with owning a home, but I have one that's near and dear to my heart. In fact, we got an email someone else just went through the same thing our AC went out. And I'm sure this is a complete coincidence. Our AC went out this is last summer, about five minutes after the warranty expired. So too bad, so said, you have to buy an

entirely new air conditioning system for the house. The last air conditioning system I had to buy in my life was years and years and years ago. I admit that years ago. And I don't remember the sizes and brands. I know there were different ones, but it was four thousand dollars. That's a lot of money. This film was nine when he gave me the price. Of course, I tried to remain calm. I said, I'm going to get another opinion, and I did. Actually I got two other opinions,

and they were all roughly the same. Life is expensive now, very very expensive.

thousand dollars. But I got it, you got it. I'm not going to have a political hissy fit about it. I am not. You are not. The American people are they are? And the American people, the normies in the American people, I shouldn't say all American people. The normies in America are the ones who decide elections. They are the ones who decide elections, and that is a frustrating place to be for people who are knowledgeable and people

who are involved. It's, in fact, it's one of the most maddening things in the world if you allow it to just completely take over your mind. I'll stew on this hours before I calm myself down. How is it that we're in a place that the noormy morons are the ones who will choose the direction of the United States of America? How can that be? Shouldn't it just be the most knowledgeable. Shouldn't be shouldn't it be you? Shouldn't it be me? Shouldn't it just be us who care?

We care enough to pay attention. Okay, but let's not do the childhood thing and say it shouldn't be that way. It is that way. How bad is it? I'll tell you in a minute. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Wednesday days. Ignorant people inside our elections and the drives is crazy. And I've got a I've got a doozy for you here you want to hear about that. This is from Woke Spy. The headline is ignorant people want to keep the Department of Education informed.

People don't quote at the outset at fifty one percent of respondents said they opposed shutting down the department, while thirty eight percent supported the idea. Oh that's bad, So they don't want to shut down an apartment of the education, Okay. After learning that K through twelve funding would remain in place and that functions would be reassigned to other federal agencies, support rose to fifty six percent. Opposition declined to thirty percent. Now it is hard to take in and accept that

these are the morons who decide elections. People will go to the polls and vote for who leads their community, their state, and their country without even the most basic knowledge of how those things actually work, of the functions of government, what they should be, what they do, what

they don't do, and it drives us nuts. So as you hear me rant and rave for the next year about affordability, about inflation and immigration, inflation and immigration, inflation and immigration, try to bear with me because I'm trying to get to point through to me and to you about what will actually decide elections. And as I said before, whatever you're hot on, it's probably something very very worthy. I'm not insulting whatever issue you are hot on. Everyone

has their own motivations and things they like me. You know how hot I am against abortion, I've always I've always just been that way. I'm at I'm borderline militant about it. I just despise it, despise it. I don't demand the GOP run on it. I don't also so make this critical, critical mistake. I also don't think it's an issue that matters to normies. It just doesn't. Does that mean abortion stopping it is not important? Of course, Doc,

It's majorly important. We're killing babies. It's hugely important. Whatever your thing is, election integrity, hugely important. You could argue, it's everything. You could argue if you dig into Democrat cheating in elections long enough that it's the only thing. I'm not insulting your passion about it. Normans don't care. They don't care Normanis, don't care about Epstein, they don't care about all these Israel arguments people have. Normies don't

really actually care that much about taxes. Did you know that normies don't care about spending. I know that's insanely said, and we can go into that more, but I'm talking about government spending. They don't care, they don't normies because they're uninformed morons. Normies they vote on what's happening in their life, in their household, and in a way that's understandable. I call them morons, but I guess that's the essence of being a normy. It's not necessarily that you're a moron.

You just don't necessarily care about the politics of your country. You only care about you and focus on you, which is a bit myopic, but it is the way it is. Myopic is a great word that I learned last night, Chris. I knew I was going to work it into the show today. I worked it into the show in the first hour. I might point out, in fact, I'm going to use it again today. I might use it several times today now that I've learned a new word. Yes, I will, Chris, Why are you being so myopic? I will?

That's another one. You know what, starting a tally? That's too hang on, I gotta write this down. That's too already that I've view anyway back to what we're saying. But there are also things that the administration has got to keep in mind. They know about affordability, they're talking about it a lot now, they understand they have to address it. But here's one that went right by you, almost went by me, Usdade. That's the Department of Energy.

They partner with Microsoft. Do what well you've heard of three Mile Island nuclear reactor. By the way, nobody died in that disaster. I know they lied to about all that, but no one died. It was fine, It all worked fine. But three Mile Island got shut down. They're going to fire it back up again. Sweet, all right, they're given a billion dollar loan out. Sounds good. Microsoft is involved, great,

sounds good. If those energy costs down, we need we need more nuclear power should be going on all over the country. Oh except Microsoft is going to buy all the energy from it for the next two decades. This is all about AI data. This is about data centers, is really what it's about, which we've discussed before on the show. These data centers are enormous. They they can't possibly build them fast enough. They're also energy suckers, like you cannot believe. They just hoover up energy. We don't

have enough energy to power them fast enough. So so I understand the game. Microsoft is gonna get it. Microsoft's gonna figure figure out how everything gets built, then Microsoft's gonna get all the power from it for two decades. I understand that. Now, that's the kind of thing that looks good on the bottom line of the country but doesn't look good on your bottom line or my bottom line. And I know there are all kinds of reasons for it. I get it. But that's the kind of thing that's

gonna hurt us in the midterms. How about we just built thirty new nuclear reactors and it's all going to bring down your power bill. Your power bill every month. Next month, your power bill is going to be twenty percent less because we just got a nuclear reactor on board. Boom. Now we're talking baby. Now we're ready for the midterms. Nobody in the midterms is going to go to the polls and vote for the GOP because Microsoft got their own nuclear plan. We have got to stay focused, at

least our elected officials. You can still focus on what you care about. Obviously, it's not my job to tell you, and I'm gonna stay focused on what I care about. But we have got to make sure kitchen table issues remain at the forefront because the normies don't know any better. They know about the cost of Burger, and beyond that, they own no squad
