Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Thursday. I
am so unreasonably excited for tonight's shows, So allow me
(00:32):
to prepare you with some programming notes for what you
are in store for in that rhyme. And that was great.
I didn't even do it on purpose. Don't shake your head, Chris.
We are going to discuss Trump's comments today about deportations,
about legal immigration versus illegal immigration, about allowing Chinese students
(00:54):
to stay. We're gonna discuss those because you apparently have
some problems with them, and I'm going to talk that. Yes,
I'm gonna get to that. We're gonna discuss other things,
you see. We're gonna talk about Republicans doing some campaigning
from the House of Representatives, Democrats trying to thread the
needle with Middle America, and the crazies. Another Democrat, a
(01:16):
United States Senator, gets himself arrested. We'll talk about the
performative nonsense that is the beating art of the Democrat Party.
But I'm not even as excited about all that stuff
as I am about hour two, because at the start
of hour two, I've decided I'm done talking about riots
for a night. We're doing some history. I don't know
(01:41):
how long it will go. I truly doubt I will
finish it in an hour. I'll try, but I don't know.
We're gonna do some history tonight. Alexander the Great War.
It's gonna be awesome. And tomorrow's ask doctor Jesse Friday.
So get your questions emailed in right now now to
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Okay, So a lot
(02:08):
of people are angry at Donald Trump today. Who are
those people? I mean a bunch of emails, a lot
of them like this the oracle. I saw Trump's post
this morning regarding illegals working on farms and in hotels.
It shows how much further we have to go. Any
business owner knowingly employing illegals should be arrested for committing
(02:31):
crimes against his countrymen. Now more than ever. I believe
you when you say America will elect a right wing dictator. So, okay,
in case you're wondering what he said, what Donald Trump
said publicly, this is what he said. Quote. Our great
farmers and people in hotel, in the hotel and leisure
(02:52):
business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on
immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them,
with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases,
the criminals allowed into the country by the very stupid
Biden open borders policy are applying for those jobs. This
(03:16):
is not good. We must protect our farmers, but get
the criminals out of the USA. Changes are coming, okay.
He verbalized that at a press conference today.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Here he was if you look to that, put out
a statement today about farmers. Our farmers are being hurt
badly by you know, they have very good workers. They've
worked for him for twenty years. They're not citizens, but
they've turned out to be, you know, great, and we're
going to have to do something about that. We can't
take farmers and take all their people and send them
back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have,
(03:54):
maybe not. And you know what's going to happen, and
what is happening They get rid of some of the
people because you know, you go into a farm and
you look and people don't They've been there for twenty
twenty five years and they've worked great, and the owner
of the farm loves them and everything else. And then
you're supposed to throw them out, and you know what happens,
They end up hiring the people, the criminals that have
come in, the murderers from prisons and everything else.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So we're we're going to have.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
An order on that pretty soon. I think we can't
do that to a farmer's and leisure too hotels. We're
going to have to use a lot of common sense
on that.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay, that actually pairs well. Apparently it was one of
those days with comments Trump made today about China. You
remember this is probably the last week. The week before
Marco Rubio and Trump were making a lot of noise
about how we're getting rid of these Chinese student visas.
Chinese students are going to have to go. They've got
(04:50):
to go, We're done with all this. And then yesterday
they announced that they've struck some kind of a deal
with China and that the Chinese students get to stay.
And Trump said this today.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And I've always been in favor of students coming in
from other countries, that includes China, and we have five
hundred thousand Chinese students coming in. I've always been in
favor of it. Does it mean that you have to
watch people? Yeah, you have to watch students, but you
have to watch other people also. I've always been strongly
(05:23):
in favor of it. I think it's a great thing.
It's also it's good for our schools. It's good for
I think it's good for our country. I'm also in
favor of having them stay. I've been in favor of
letting them stay. If you get educated for four years,
you're willing to get educated for four years. I like
people being able to stay. You know, they have some
great students.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, okay, if you are that, if you are in
immigration hawk in all the way hawk, these kind of
comments have you getting ready to blow a gasket and
full disclosed. Sure, anyone who's been listening for a while
knows this. I am an immigration hawk, to put it mildly,
(06:07):
And when I say hawk, here's what I mean. Here's
what I mean. Because a lot of people like to
pretend to be that because it helps you get elected
and things like that. When I say immigration hawk, I'm
talking about the kind of person who believes a country
should do anything and everything to secure its borders and
(06:27):
stop illegals from coming in. But wait a minute, wait
a minute, that's just one part of it. Another part
of it. Part two. That's part one. Part one securing
the border. There's more to being an immigration hawk. Part
two is mass deportation of every illegal in the country
if you are here illegally, man, woman, child, criminal record
(06:51):
from Guatemala, or not at all, if you were here
in the country illegally. In immigration hawk, a tried and
true immigration hawk like me, once you arrested and deported immediately.
But wait, there's more. One more. It takes three things
to be a true immigration hawk. And I'm not saying
(07:12):
you have to be one. Maybe you disagree on this,
but if you're if someone tells me they're an immigration hawk,
I expect these three things. The third one is legal
immigration restrictions, a lot of them. Oh. I'm not against
all forms of legal immigration, of course, but the mass
(07:34):
importation of foreigners doesn't magically become wonderful just because some
politician makes it legal. That's how you wreck your culture.
People can come here, it should be hard, it should
take a long time, it should never happen in mass. Hey,
let's get fifty thousand people from Somalia. That'll be enriching. No, no, no,
(07:56):
it wasn't bad. IDEA true immigration hawk believes in securing
the border, deporting illegals, and restrictions on legal immigration. That's
what a true immigration hawk believes. And again I'm not
saying that you have to be one, but if you
(08:17):
tell me that's what you are, that's what I expect
out of you. Now, let's discuss Donald Trump's comments today.
We are going to discuss this with some nuance. Not
because I'm trying to be nuanced, after all, it's me.
I'm about as nuanced as a sledgehammer, but because the
situation here is nuanced for a variety of different reasons.
(08:41):
And we're going to discuss all of this, and then
we'll do some more politics and then you can kick
back and put your feet up and we'll talk about
Alexander the Great Deal. Okay, First, Donald Trump is not
an immigration hawk. Allow me to explain. I want me
to explain. We on the right, we have been underserved.
(09:02):
Anyone who believes in immigration hawkishness has been underserved by
the Republican Party for ages ages a bunch of amnesty
love and open borders weenies. Therefore, whenever a Republican, whoever
they are, a governor, a senator, donald Trump himself, whenever
(09:23):
a Republican starts speaking tough and speaking plainly about immigration,
we we fall in love really really fast, really fast.
It's like it's like when you're on deployment in the
Marines and you haven't seen a woman for six months,
and you get to go visit an air Force base
(09:46):
and out around the corner comes this manatee and it's
the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life.
Why because you've been starved of female attention and affection
for six months. Anything that's a woman looks good. The
exact same thing happens with Republican voters. We have been
(10:09):
screwed so many times by so many of our reps
and so many of our presidents, over and over and
over again. The second Donald Trump comes down an escalator
and says, Mexico's not sending their best. These are a
bunch of dirt balls and drug dealers and things like that.
We sit back and say, oh gosh, finally someone speaking
(10:30):
my language. And we wrap our arms around them and
we say, look, I finally have my immigration hawk. But
there's what you want, and then there's reality. Now, let's
discuss reality. Before we discuss reality, let me discuss cooking
meat perfectly every single time. It is expensive meat. I
(10:58):
mean meat is defensive, and I don't know that that's
going to change anytime soon. So look, did I tell you.
I've told you before that we stopped buying pork chops
aub and I we ruined them two or three times.
We got so exasperated by the whole thing. We don't
buy them anymore. They're expensive. Yeah, we can buy them
(11:19):
again now because I have an iq sense from Chefman,
from chef iq, a wireless cooking thermometer that hooks up
to an app in your phone. It has recipes on it.
By the way, you can put in the app whatever
you're cooking or not. I don't actually even use that function.
What I do I set the temperature on my phone
(11:39):
and I never look again. Port Chuck's done perfectly every time, Brisket, chicken, steaks,
grill smoker perfect every time. You can never miss. Go
to chefq dot com and use the code Jessie at checkout.
We'll be back. This is the Jesse Kelly Show. It
(12:05):
is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Thursday, as
we churn through the week. In case you're just now
joining us. We're discussing Donald Trump's today comments today on
legal immigration, on the illegals that are working for farms,
that are working for you mentioned the leisure industry that
are working for hotels, and I am explaining what's going on.
(12:27):
I'm talking about these confeds you.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Look to that put out a statement today about farmers.
Our farmers are being hurt badly by you know, they
have very good workers, they've worked for him for twenty years.
They're not citizens.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, I'm not going to go into the whole thing again.
He says, Hey, we do have to figure something out.
We're going to be doing something soon. So these illegals
who've been here for a long time can stay. Immigration hawks.
If you are one, you're mad. If you're not, you
don't care. If you're an immigration hawk, you're Matt. So
I'm explaining we've been underserved as Republican voters by the
(12:59):
gel he forever when it comes to illegal immigration. Donald
Trump has spoken our language on illegal immigration. So, Donald Trump,
what has happened is people see what they want to see.
It's human nature. We all see what we want to see,
(13:22):
especially with people we like, people we love. Even we
do it with spouses. We do it with our children.
We do it with When you love something, you tend
to see it in the light you want to see
it in and not always in reality. Donald Trump is
(13:46):
not now, nor has he ever been, in immigration hawk
in the sense of the word I describe before. He
is a border hawk, and he should be applauded for that.
He is somebody who believes in stopping the flow of illegal,
(14:06):
illegal immigration. He has done so in his first four years.
He did it, and he did it immediately after taking
over this four years. He believes in one of the
three right there, border security. On to the second part
of it. Remember there's three things, border security, deporting illegals,
(14:27):
restricting legal immigration. When it comes to border security, he's
an A plus dynamite and should be applauded for it.
Now number two, deporting illegals, he's not an A plus,
He's a B plus meaning Donald Trump wants the murderers, the rapists,
(14:49):
the gang members rounded up and deported. And to his credit,
he has expanded on that. Friends, family members he is
sending and he deserves all the credit in the world
for this. He is sending ice onto construction sites. He's
sending ice into workplaces, and he's rounding up illegals as
(15:11):
fast as he can round them up, and he's deporting them.
But the reason he's a B plus and not an
A plus is well, I mean, if you've been here
for a while, it's okay. Now you may agree with
him on that, by the way, but I'm explaining what
he actually is, not what you want him to be,
(15:31):
not what I want him to be. We're here to
discuss reality. No more mommy time, it's daddy time. He's
a plus on the border security, he's a B plus
on deporting illegals. And look, let's pause for a second.
If we have to defend him. Sorry, but I'm in
a great mood. I'm gonna defend him. B plus is
better than we've had for a long time now. When
(15:53):
it comes to legal immigration, Donald Trump is a D
maybe even an F if you're an immigration hawk. He
does not agree with you on that. He has had.
The people were mad about the things he said today
about he wants more Chinese students here, he wants the
(16:14):
farm illegals to stay. He wants this. Donald Trump has
a long history of public comments where he has said
these things before. He's talked about stamping granting citizenship when
you graduate college. He's talked about more H one B visas,
(16:35):
which are not these super heady technologically advanced visas, not
at all. If you want a restriction, want restrictions on
legal immigration, Donald Trump does not agree with you. People
pretend he does because he's pretty good on the other
two aspects of it. But he's never been that guy
(17:00):
we pretended, or maybe you pretended, maybe you didn't, but
he's never been that guy. And the reason when I
heard him say that today, I didn't get outraged, even
though I disagree with him, I didn't get outraged because
I never thought he was that guy. I never projected
my beliefs onto Donald Trump. My beliefs on legal immigration
(17:21):
and how it should be handled. I never projected those
onto him. I know what his are, I know what
mine are. We differ on that. He's pretty good on
the other two. Therefore I like it so far. Now.
I was not trying to offer an excuse. I really
genuinely wasn't. I was simply explaining how Donald Trump actually
(17:43):
looks at immigration, legal and illegal. And the reason I
was explaining it is just like I said, people project
it's human nature to project. Trump's our guy, make America
great again. He's saving the country. You take all your
hopes and dreams and you dump them in Donald Trump's lap,
(18:05):
and then you say, wow, look he shares my hopes
and dreams. No, you put him there. He didn't ask
for them. That said, that wasn't making an excuse, That
was stating an obvious fact. Allow me to offer a
bit of an explanation. Maybe you're sitting there squirming in
(18:25):
your chair. Allow me to offer an explanation that's a
little bit more in depth. And then maybe we'll do
a couple other things before history. All right, hang on,
Jesse Kelly returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
on a wonderful Thursday, reminding you that Fridays on the
(18:46):
Jesse Kelly Show belonged to you. You can email your
questions in all three hours. I answer whatever you email
in right now to Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com. Ask
me anything, doesn't have to be police. Fridays are always
a wild, really good time here on the Jesse Kelly Show.
Now back to we already discussed Trump and immigration hawks
(19:10):
and his comments today about the farm and leisure industry.
All right, let's expand this a little bit more. Hey, Chris,
if you don't mind grab that student visa, the Chinese
student visa comments Trump made today. This so come back
to the legal immigration illegal immigration talk. Just stay with
me on something. Just before you play these, remember that
(19:34):
we are fresh off the heels of a lot of
tough talk from the Trump administration, Rubo and these guys
about Chinese students, Chinese student visas, that these things, hey,
that we're kicking out these Chinese students. China uses these
students for espionage, which they do, and you know that
was what they were telling us, which anyone who knows
(19:54):
knows that's true. China is using these for espionage. We're
canceling these Chinese student visas. You've had enough of this stuff.
And then Trump gets up today and says this.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I've always been in favor of students coming in from
other countries, that includes China, and we have five hundred
thousand Chinese students coming in. I've always been in favor
of it. Does it mean you that you have to
watch people? Yeah, you have to watch students, but you
have to watch other people also. I've always been strongly
(20:24):
in favor of it. I think it's a great thing.
It's also it's good for our schools, it's good for
I think it's good for.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
We got it. We got it. Every immigration hawk or
somebody concerned about China or Chinese espionage is sitting there wincing.
And so I am not going to offer an excuse,
but I am going to offer an explanation if you will. China. Remember,
remember we discussed the London negotiations that just happened with China.
(20:56):
Trump said. Trump sent his big boy envoys, the ones
he clearly trusts and relies upon, guys like Howard Lutnick,
sent them over to neutral territory in London, where they
sat down with China to work out some sort of
a deal or start working out some sort of a deal.
(21:18):
And I know this sounds like I'm changing the subject.
Believe me, I'm not. This is all going to come
back together. So stay with me. Let's discuss again what
the situation is. The situation is that Trump administration, Trump's people,
they have said repeatedly that they want to reshore America's manufacturing.
They want to bring a manufacturing back here and take
(21:40):
it away from China. That's what they've said China vice versa.
Their entire economy rests on manufacturing everything. So Trump's stated
goals of reshoring American manufacturing when he says that, he
might as well come out and say, what I want
(22:01):
is to destroy the Chinese economy. That's how cross purpose.
Those two goals are. Okay, you with me? Still, that's
the setup, and we reached a real nasty impasse with China.
Howard Lutnik, Trump's guys, they go over there, they come
(22:21):
back and say, woo, we have kind of a deal,
at least the start of a deal with it. In
the very least, hostilities have ceased, and voila. The next day,
Donald Trump gets up and announces that he loves all
these Chinese students. He's just really happy that they're all here,
and they should all come and go to Harvard. Not
(22:43):
that the devil. What's going on? Donald Trump? For any
desires he may have of reassuring American manufacturing and making
trade more even and whatnot, he is still a president
(23:03):
and not a king. A president and not a king,
and frankly, even kings, most of them, their power was limited.
But let's focus on what we're talking about here. He's
not a king. He can have all the desires he
wants about American manufacturing and American workers and they have
(23:24):
more fair trade, and he can want a million different things.
He is, however, limited. There is a ceiling on just
how much of it he can get done, because the
powers of the presidency are limited. Therefore, you can get
(23:45):
out there on the campaign trail and you can say
things like we're going to bring all this facturing back
and we're going to take it to China. But reality
has a way of smacking around campaign promises. Because here's reality.
When Donald Trump first started hammering China with these tariffs
(24:08):
a little bit ago, remember that little dip in the
stock market, Remember the mass panic. Everybody picked up their
phone and checked their four oh one k and then
freaked out and called their mother. Remember all that. What
was that? Let me tell you what it was. That
was the global financial system putting I'm gonna say this
(24:32):
in a way that might offend you. Remember if you're offended,
I don't give a crap. That was the global financial
system putting Donald Trump in his place. That was the
global financial system telling Donald Trump, uh uh uh, you
may be the most powerful person on the planet. You
may be the president of the United States of America.
(24:53):
You don't get to upset the apple cart for how
the world's finances run. That is the global financial system
saying hey, mister, not so fast and not so far,
you better slow down. And you notice thirty seconds after that, hey,
we got a ninety day truce with China. While we
(25:14):
work things out. You can want to reshore manufacturing, you
can want to make things here. You can want all
the right things, you can have the right goals in mind,
but you are still as a president, as any elected
political leader in this country, you are still confined by
(25:36):
the system, by the political system, by our current laws,
by the financial system, by the system that has been
put into place over years and years and years, a
system that you now have to work with, whether or
not you like that system or dislike that system. If
I am made the head basketball coach of the local school,
(25:58):
of the local high school, and I promise people when
they hire me, when they're thinking about hiring me, I'm
gonna go in a state championship in the first year.
Just hire me. Coach Kelly will take you to the
Promised Land. We're going to win a state championship. I
give you my word, and then I take over the
team and I find out it's a bunch of five
(26:19):
foot six white kids who can't run and can't jump
and aren't very good at basketball. Well, I mean, it
doesn't matter if I'm Bobby Knight and John Wooden all
rolled up and won. It doesn't matter how much I
want to win that state championship. And I do want
to win that state championship, and I'm gonna bust my
pluck to make sure it happens. We're not gonna win
(26:42):
the state championship, not with a bunch of five six
white kids. It's not gonna happen. What, Chris, is that offensive?
Is it? I didn't mean it to be. Everyone knows
what I mean. The presidency, its powers are limited. Now
that brought me back to the discussion of why all
(27:07):
this talk today, why this public announcement, Why did we
wake up and we're seeing Donald Trump? Our great farmers
and people in hotel and leisure have been stating our
very aggressive policy on immigration is taking a very good,
longtime workers away from them and those jobs are impossible
to replace. In fact, the criminals are getting hired, which
is kind of bullcrap, but still, why did we wake
(27:30):
up to this? Well, that's going to bring us right
back to the conversation we just had about the limits
of the powers of the presidency. I'll finish this up
in a moment. Hang on, Jesse Kelly, it is the
Jesse Kelly Show. You're lucky. I just didn't let that
(27:51):
song play. I'll tell you that right now on a wonderful,
wonderful Thursday. Remember if you miss any part of the show,
he could download the whole thing. I heart spotify iTunes.
Now let's round out this long discussion about what Trump
said about the illegal farm workers and hotel workers and
all the other stuff, and then we're walking away from politics.
(28:14):
I'm about rioted out. I'm politics out for the day.
We're about to go talk about some Alexander the Great.
I take that back. In the final hour. We'll probably
come back and do some more politics. But just a warning,
consider this your warning. Now I'm about to divert right
off of politics and everything else, and I'm going deep
(28:34):
into history about ten minutes from now. I don't know
when I'm pulling out again. So there you go. I
don't know when I'm gonna stop talking about that again,
I'll put it to you that way. I don't need
these looks, Chris, what Donald Trump said about illegal immigration, farmers, hotels, leisure.
(28:58):
I've discussed this with you before. Let me remind you
again that I ran for Congress a couple times in Arizona.
I was the Republican nominee for Congress a couple times.
And when you're running for Congress, certainly once you earn
the Republican nomination, every single area is the same. It
doesn't matter what area you're listening to me from. There
(29:22):
is a cabal of wealthy Republicans in your area, and
they usually know each other, work with each other, and
they are considered bundlers. We called them bundlers. The National
Republican Party calls them that. The Democrat Party calls them
(29:43):
that too. They have their own Your area has this
wealthy cabal of Republican donors who will raise you money
to get you elected to the state House or state senator,
mayor or congress or senator or whatever. And look like
if you're running for president, you'll have different pockets of
(30:06):
these people in the different areas all across the country.
George W. Bush. Here's a little tidbit you may not know.
George W. Bush had this, and he had a name
for them. They were considered because George W. Bush is
a Texan and everyone knows what the Texas Rangers are.
They were called Rangers Bush's Rangers. If you were a
wealthy Republican donor who bundled a lot of money for
(30:27):
George Bush, I forget what the number was, how much
you had to raise, you got the title of ranger.
And I'm sure you also got a cell phone number.
That's how it works. Okay, you got it. You with me? Well,
I'm running for Congress in Arizona. These Republican donors, almost
every one of them. They're business owners, different kinds of businesses, hotels,
(30:48):
restaurant tours. I found so fancy when I say that
Chris leisure industry. They met with me when they were
considering whether or not they were going to support my
run for Congress. It was still a primary at the time,
and they weren't really interested in my tax stance. They
(31:09):
didn't really care whether I was pro life or or
kill them all let God sort them out. They were
interested in my stance on illegal immigration, and they were
very concerned that I meant the things I was saying
back then about deporting every single illegal and securing the border.
(31:30):
When they found out I was dead serious about that,
they chose to bundle for somebody else. This, by the way,
explains why there are so many Republicans in Congress, James
Langford and others who are so open borders and always
end up siding with the Democrats on it. The truth is,
(31:52):
money is the lifeblood of politics. You don't get elected
to any position without raising some of it. You don't
have to raise the most of it, that's a lie,
but you've got to raise some. Even at city council,
small city council rate, you're it's gonna take some money.
You're gonna need some to raise some money for mailers
and bumper stickers. It takes some money. The wealthy people
(32:14):
who support Republicans for president not all of them at all,
So don't think I'm indicting everybody. But many of the
wealthy people who support Republicans for president and House and Senate.
They are business leaders who rely on immigrant workers to
(32:34):
keep the labor costs down. Sometimes those immigrant workers they
rely on are legal. Oftentimes they are not legal oftentimes
at my fancy Republican resort, Jesse Kelly Resort and Spa.
Please come on, well, spend some time by the fool
by the pool, enjoy our five restaurants. We'll give your
(32:54):
wife a facial. All this kind of thing. Well, I'm
I've got five hundred employees who work there. Two hundred
and fifty of them are illegals. I got them washing
the rooms. I got him doing the dishes, I got
them cleaning the pool. We're not going to let him
give your wife a facial, but you understand what I mean.
(33:18):
That's the dirty little secret. And so here is what happened.
We'll call this a guess if you will. Donald Trump's
phone has been ringing when he turned ice all the
way loose. And Tom Holman is a guy. He is
an immigration hawk in every sense of the word. Tom
Homer will deport his own mother if he finds out
(33:39):
she's here illegally. That's why I love him. Tom Holman's
been sending ice on freaking construction sites. Tom Homer'll kick
in the door of your restaurant and deport everybody there.
Donald Trump's phone has been ringing, and not from people
like you or people like me, people with large bank
(34:02):
accounts who write large checks. Probably people who have done
business with Donald Trump many times before, have been calling
and texting and saying, hey, mister President, I got a hotel.
I'm trying to keep profitable here. You just deported a
(34:22):
bunch of my guys. Now you can say, as I
would say, too bad, so sad. But this is what
happens when you spend years getting your economy addicted to
the drug of illegal immigration. It is a drug. It
is an addictive drug, and we are hooked on it
(34:45):
as a nation. Getting us off of that drug it
can't happen all at once, much as I want it to.
We're going to have to wean ourselves off of it
by electing border hawk after border hawk after border hawk
who will take the necessary steps. That's why Donald Trump
(35:09):
came out today and said what he said. I know
that doesn't ease your anger. I get it. I disagree
with him too, but that is what happened. I'm tired
of politics. I'm going to talk about history for an hour,
maybe more. I don't care. It's my show. If you
don't like it, now would be a good time to
change the channel because we're about to go back to
(35:31):
ancient history, one of the most fascinating sieges I've ever
studied in my lifetime. Before we do that, I want
you to nominate a veteran. Do you have a veteran
or are you a veteran? Do you have a veteran
in your life? This means a lot to me, It
means a lot to pure Talk. Allegiance flags are American
flags that are made in America. Pure Talk is giving
(35:54):
out a thousand of these to veterans before Independence Day.
That gives us less than a month. You have one
you'd like to nominate, even yourself puretalk dot com slash
nominate and while you're there, switch your cell phone service
that does things like this instead of things like Pride month.
(36:14):
Pure Talk is on the same five G network. They
love this country, They hire Americans, they believe in made
in America. And you're not sacrificing service. You save money.
Why wouldn't you switch dial pound two five zero and say,
Jesse Kelly, switch to pure Talk. It's time to talk
about Alexander the Great and the Siege of Tire Next
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Thursday. I
am so unreasonably excited for tonight's shows, So allow me
(00:32):
to prepare you with some programming notes for what you
are in store for in that rhyme. And that was great.
I didn't even do it on purpose. Don't shake your head, Chris.
We are going to discuss Trump's comments today about deportations,
about legal immigration versus illegal immigration, about allowing Chinese students
(00:54):
to stay. We're gonna discuss those because you apparently have
some problems with them, and I'm going to talk that. Yes,
I'm gonna get to that. We're gonna discuss other things,
you see. We're gonna talk about Republicans doing some campaigning
from the House of Representatives, Democrats trying to thread the
needle with Middle America, and the crazies. Another Democrat, a
(01:16):
United States Senator, gets himself arrested. We'll talk about the
performative nonsense that is the beating art of the Democrat Party.
But I'm not even as excited about all that stuff
as I am about hour two, because at the start
of hour two, I've decided I'm done talking about riots
for a night. We're doing some history. I don't know
(01:41):
how long it will go. I truly doubt I will
finish it in an hour. I'll try, but I don't know.
We're gonna do some history tonight. Alexander the Great War.
It's gonna be awesome. And tomorrow's ask doctor Jesse Friday.
So get your questions emailed in right now now to
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Okay, So a lot
(02:08):
of people are angry at Donald Trump today. Who are
those people? I mean a bunch of emails, a lot
of them like this the oracle. I saw Trump's post
this morning regarding illegals working on farms and in hotels.
It shows how much further we have to go. Any
business owner knowingly employing illegals should be arrested for committing
(02:31):
crimes against his countrymen. Now more than ever. I believe
you when you say America will elect a right wing dictator. So, okay,
in case you're wondering what he said, what Donald Trump
said publicly, this is what he said. Quote. Our great
farmers and people in hotel, in the hotel and leisure
(02:52):
business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on
immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them,
with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases,
the criminals allowed into the country by the very stupid
Biden open borders policy are applying for those jobs. This
(03:16):
is not good. We must protect our farmers, but get
the criminals out of the USA. Changes are coming, okay.
He verbalized that at a press conference today.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Here he was if you look to that, put out
a statement today about farmers. Our farmers are being hurt
badly by you know, they have very good workers. They've
worked for him for twenty years. They're not citizens, but
they've turned out to be, you know, great, and we're
going to have to do something about that. We can't
take farmers and take all their people and send them
back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have,
(03:54):
maybe not. And you know what's going to happen, and
what is happening They get rid of some of the
people because you know, you go into a farm and
you look and people don't They've been there for twenty
twenty five years and they've worked great, and the owner
of the farm loves them and everything else. And then
you're supposed to throw them out, and you know what happens,
They end up hiring the people, the criminals that have
come in, the murderers from prisons and everything else.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So we're we're going to have.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
An order on that pretty soon. I think we can't
do that to a farmer's and leisure too hotels. We're
going to have to use a lot of common sense
on that.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay, that actually pairs well. Apparently it was one of
those days with comments Trump made today about China. You
remember this is probably the last week. The week before
Marco Rubio and Trump were making a lot of noise
about how we're getting rid of these Chinese student visas.
Chinese students are going to have to go. They've got
(04:50):
to go, We're done with all this. And then yesterday
they announced that they've struck some kind of a deal
with China and that the Chinese students get to stay.
And Trump said this today.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And I've always been in favor of students coming in
from other countries, that includes China, and we have five
hundred thousand Chinese students coming in. I've always been in
favor of it. Does it mean that you have to
watch people? Yeah, you have to watch students, but you
have to watch other people also. I've always been strongly
(05:23):
in favor of it. I think it's a great thing.
It's also it's good for our schools. It's good for
I think it's good for our country. I'm also in
favor of having them stay. I've been in favor of
letting them stay. If you get educated for four years,
you're willing to get educated for four years. I like
people being able to stay. You know, they have some
great students.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, okay, if you are that, if you are in
immigration hawk in all the way hawk, these kind of
comments have you getting ready to blow a gasket and
full disclosed. Sure, anyone who's been listening for a while
knows this. I am an immigration hawk, to put it mildly,
(06:07):
And when I say hawk, here's what I mean. Here's
what I mean. Because a lot of people like to
pretend to be that because it helps you get elected
and things like that. When I say immigration hawk, I'm
talking about the kind of person who believes a country
should do anything and everything to secure its borders and
(06:27):
stop illegals from coming in. But wait a minute, wait
a minute, that's just one part of it. Another part
of it. Part two. That's part one. Part one securing
the border. There's more to being an immigration hawk. Part
two is mass deportation of every illegal in the country
if you are here illegally, man, woman, child, criminal record
(06:51):
from Guatemala, or not at all, if you were here
in the country illegally. In immigration hawk, a tried and
true immigration hawk like me, once you arrested and deported immediately.
But wait, there's more. One more. It takes three things
to be a true immigration hawk. And I'm not saying
(07:12):
you have to be one. Maybe you disagree on this,
but if you're if someone tells me they're an immigration hawk,
I expect these three things. The third one is legal
immigration restrictions, a lot of them. Oh. I'm not against
all forms of legal immigration, of course, but the mass
(07:34):
importation of foreigners doesn't magically become wonderful just because some
politician makes it legal. That's how you wreck your culture.
People can come here, it should be hard, it should
take a long time, it should never happen in mass. Hey,
let's get fifty thousand people from Somalia. That'll be enriching. No, no, no,
(07:56):
it wasn't bad. IDEA true immigration hawk believes in securing
the border, deporting illegals, and restrictions on legal immigration. That's
what a true immigration hawk believes. And again I'm not
saying that you have to be one, but if you
(08:17):
tell me that's what you are, that's what I expect
out of you. Now, let's discuss Donald Trump's comments today.
We are going to discuss this with some nuance. Not
because I'm trying to be nuanced, after all, it's me.
I'm about as nuanced as a sledgehammer, but because the
situation here is nuanced for a variety of different reasons.
(08:41):
And we're going to discuss all of this, and then
we'll do some more politics and then you can kick
back and put your feet up and we'll talk about
Alexander the Great Deal. Okay, First, Donald Trump is not
an immigration hawk. Allow me to explain. I want me
to explain. We on the right, we have been underserved.
(09:02):
Anyone who believes in immigration hawkishness has been underserved by
the Republican Party for ages ages a bunch of amnesty
love and open borders weenies. Therefore, whenever a Republican, whoever
they are, a governor, a senator, donald Trump himself, whenever
(09:23):
a Republican starts speaking tough and speaking plainly about immigration,
we we fall in love really really fast, really fast.
It's like it's like when you're on deployment in the
Marines and you haven't seen a woman for six months,
and you get to go visit an air Force base
(09:46):
and out around the corner comes this manatee and it's
the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life.
Why because you've been starved of female attention and affection
for six months. Anything that's a woman looks good. The
exact same thing happens with Republican voters. We have been
(10:09):
screwed so many times by so many of our reps
and so many of our presidents, over and over and
over again. The second Donald Trump comes down an escalator
and says, Mexico's not sending their best. These are a
bunch of dirt balls and drug dealers and things like that.
We sit back and say, oh gosh, finally someone speaking
(10:30):
my language. And we wrap our arms around them and
we say, look, I finally have my immigration hawk. But
there's what you want, and then there's reality. Now, let's
discuss reality. Before we discuss reality, let me discuss cooking
meat perfectly every single time. It is expensive meat. I
(10:58):
mean meat is defensive, and I don't know that that's
going to change anytime soon. So look, did I tell you.
I've told you before that we stopped buying pork chops
aub and I we ruined them two or three times.
We got so exasperated by the whole thing. We don't
buy them anymore. They're expensive. Yeah, we can buy them
(11:19):
again now because I have an iq sense from Chefman,
from chef iq, a wireless cooking thermometer that hooks up
to an app in your phone. It has recipes on it.
By the way, you can put in the app whatever
you're cooking or not. I don't actually even use that function.
What I do I set the temperature on my phone
(11:39):
and I never look again. Port Chuck's done perfectly every time, Brisket, chicken, steaks,
grill smoker perfect every time. You can never miss. Go
to chefq dot com and use the code Jessie at checkout.
We'll be back. This is the Jesse Kelly Show. It
(12:05):
is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Thursday, as
we churn through the week. In case you're just now
joining us. We're discussing Donald Trump's today comments today on
legal immigration, on the illegals that are working for farms,
that are working for you mentioned the leisure industry that
are working for hotels, and I am explaining what's going on.
(12:27):
I'm talking about these confeds you.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Look to that put out a statement today about farmers.
Our farmers are being hurt badly by you know, they
have very good workers, they've worked for him for twenty years.
They're not citizens.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, I'm not going to go into the whole thing again.
He says, Hey, we do have to figure something out.
We're going to be doing something soon. So these illegals
who've been here for a long time can stay. Immigration hawks.
If you are one, you're mad. If you're not, you
don't care. If you're an immigration hawk, you're Matt. So
I'm explaining we've been underserved as Republican voters by the
(12:59):
gel he forever when it comes to illegal immigration. Donald
Trump has spoken our language on illegal immigration. So, Donald Trump,
what has happened is people see what they want to see.
It's human nature. We all see what we want to see,
(13:22):
especially with people we like, people we love. Even we
do it with spouses. We do it with our children.
We do it with When you love something, you tend
to see it in the light you want to see
it in and not always in reality. Donald Trump is
(13:46):
not now, nor has he ever been, in immigration hawk
in the sense of the word I describe before. He
is a border hawk, and he should be applauded for that.
He is somebody who believes in stopping the flow of illegal,
(14:06):
illegal immigration. He has done so in his first four years.
He did it, and he did it immediately after taking
over this four years. He believes in one of the
three right there, border security. On to the second part
of it. Remember there's three things, border security, deporting illegals,
(14:27):
restricting legal immigration. When it comes to border security, he's
an A plus dynamite and should be applauded for it.
Now number two, deporting illegals, he's not an A plus,
He's a B plus meaning Donald Trump wants the murderers, the rapists,
(14:49):
the gang members rounded up and deported. And to his credit,
he has expanded on that. Friends, family members he is
sending and he deserves all the credit in the world
for this. He is sending ice onto construction sites. He's
sending ice into workplaces, and he's rounding up illegals as
(15:11):
fast as he can round them up, and he's deporting them.
But the reason he's a B plus and not an
A plus is well, I mean, if you've been here
for a while, it's okay. Now you may agree with
him on that, by the way, but I'm explaining what
he actually is, not what you want him to be,
(15:31):
not what I want him to be. We're here to
discuss reality. No more mommy time, it's daddy time. He's
a plus on the border security, he's a B plus
on deporting illegals. And look, let's pause for a second.
If we have to defend him. Sorry, but I'm in
a great mood. I'm gonna defend him. B plus is
better than we've had for a long time now. When
(15:53):
it comes to legal immigration, Donald Trump is a D
maybe even an F if you're an immigration hawk. He
does not agree with you on that. He has had.
The people were mad about the things he said today
about he wants more Chinese students here, he wants the
(16:14):
farm illegals to stay. He wants this. Donald Trump has
a long history of public comments where he has said
these things before. He's talked about stamping granting citizenship when
you graduate college. He's talked about more H one B visas,
(16:35):
which are not these super heady technologically advanced visas, not
at all. If you want a restriction, want restrictions on
legal immigration, Donald Trump does not agree with you. People
pretend he does because he's pretty good on the other
two aspects of it. But he's never been that guy
(17:00):
we pretended, or maybe you pretended, maybe you didn't, but
he's never been that guy. And the reason when I
heard him say that today, I didn't get outraged, even
though I disagree with him, I didn't get outraged because
I never thought he was that guy. I never projected
my beliefs onto Donald Trump. My beliefs on legal immigration
(17:21):
and how it should be handled. I never projected those
onto him. I know what his are, I know what
mine are. We differ on that. He's pretty good on
the other two. Therefore I like it so far. Now.
I was not trying to offer an excuse. I really
genuinely wasn't. I was simply explaining how Donald Trump actually
(17:43):
looks at immigration, legal and illegal. And the reason I
was explaining it is just like I said, people project
it's human nature to project. Trump's our guy, make America
great again. He's saving the country. You take all your
hopes and dreams and you dump them in Donald Trump's lap,
(18:05):
and then you say, wow, look he shares my hopes
and dreams. No, you put him there. He didn't ask
for them. That said, that wasn't making an excuse, That
was stating an obvious fact. Allow me to offer a
bit of an explanation. Maybe you're sitting there squirming in
(18:25):
your chair. Allow me to offer an explanation that's a
little bit more in depth. And then maybe we'll do
a couple other things before history. All right, hang on,
Jesse Kelly returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
on a wonderful Thursday, reminding you that Fridays on the
(18:46):
Jesse Kelly Show belonged to you. You can email your
questions in all three hours. I answer whatever you email
in right now to Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com. Ask
me anything, doesn't have to be police. Fridays are always
a wild, really good time here on the Jesse Kelly Show.
Now back to we already discussed Trump and immigration hawks
(19:10):
and his comments today about the farm and leisure industry.
All right, let's expand this a little bit more. Hey, Chris,
if you don't mind grab that student visa, the Chinese
student visa comments Trump made today. This so come back
to the legal immigration illegal immigration talk. Just stay with
me on something. Just before you play these, remember that
(19:34):
we are fresh off the heels of a lot of
tough talk from the Trump administration, Rubo and these guys
about Chinese students, Chinese student visas, that these things, hey,
that we're kicking out these Chinese students. China uses these
students for espionage, which they do, and you know that
was what they were telling us, which anyone who knows
(19:54):
knows that's true. China is using these for espionage. We're
canceling these Chinese student visas. You've had enough of this stuff.
And then Trump gets up today and says this.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I've always been in favor of students coming in from
other countries, that includes China, and we have five hundred
thousand Chinese students coming in. I've always been in favor
of it. Does it mean you that you have to
watch people? Yeah, you have to watch students, but you
have to watch other people also. I've always been strongly
(20:24):
in favor of it. I think it's a great thing.
It's also it's good for our schools, it's good for
I think it's good for.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
We got it. We got it. Every immigration hawk or
somebody concerned about China or Chinese espionage is sitting there wincing.
And so I am not going to offer an excuse,
but I am going to offer an explanation if you will. China. Remember,
remember we discussed the London negotiations that just happened with China.
(20:56):
Trump said. Trump sent his big boy envoys, the ones
he clearly trusts and relies upon, guys like Howard Lutnick,
sent them over to neutral territory in London, where they
sat down with China to work out some sort of
a deal or start working out some sort of a deal.
(21:18):
And I know this sounds like I'm changing the subject.
Believe me, I'm not. This is all going to come
back together. So stay with me. Let's discuss again what
the situation is. The situation is that Trump administration, Trump's people,
they have said repeatedly that they want to reshore America's manufacturing.
They want to bring a manufacturing back here and take
(21:40):
it away from China. That's what they've said China vice versa.
Their entire economy rests on manufacturing everything. So Trump's stated
goals of reshoring American manufacturing when he says that, he
might as well come out and say, what I want
(22:01):
is to destroy the Chinese economy. That's how cross purpose.
Those two goals are. Okay, you with me? Still, that's
the setup, and we reached a real nasty impasse with China.
Howard Lutnik, Trump's guys, they go over there, they come
(22:21):
back and say, woo, we have kind of a deal,
at least the start of a deal with it. In
the very least, hostilities have ceased, and voila. The next day,
Donald Trump gets up and announces that he loves all
these Chinese students. He's just really happy that they're all here,
and they should all come and go to Harvard. Not
(22:43):
that the devil. What's going on? Donald Trump? For any
desires he may have of reassuring American manufacturing and making
trade more even and whatnot, he is still a president
(23:03):
and not a king. A president and not a king,
and frankly, even kings, most of them, their power was limited.
But let's focus on what we're talking about here. He's
not a king. He can have all the desires he
wants about American manufacturing and American workers and they have
(23:24):
more fair trade, and he can want a million different things.
He is, however, limited. There is a ceiling on just
how much of it he can get done, because the
powers of the presidency are limited. Therefore, you can get
(23:45):
out there on the campaign trail and you can say
things like we're going to bring all this facturing back
and we're going to take it to China. But reality
has a way of smacking around campaign promises. Because here's reality.
When Donald Trump first started hammering China with these tariffs
(24:08):
a little bit ago, remember that little dip in the
stock market, Remember the mass panic. Everybody picked up their
phone and checked their four oh one k and then
freaked out and called their mother. Remember all that. What
was that? Let me tell you what it was. That
was the global financial system putting I'm gonna say this
(24:32):
in a way that might offend you. Remember if you're offended,
I don't give a crap. That was the global financial
system putting Donald Trump in his place. That was the
global financial system telling Donald Trump, uh uh uh, you
may be the most powerful person on the planet. You
may be the president of the United States of America.
(24:53):
You don't get to upset the apple cart for how
the world's finances run. That is the global financial system
saying hey, mister, not so fast and not so far,
you better slow down. And you notice thirty seconds after that, hey,
we got a ninety day truce with China. While we
(25:14):
work things out. You can want to reshore manufacturing, you
can want to make things here. You can want all
the right things, you can have the right goals in mind,
but you are still as a president, as any elected
political leader in this country, you are still confined by
(25:36):
the system, by the political system, by our current laws,
by the financial system, by the system that has been
put into place over years and years and years, a
system that you now have to work with, whether or
not you like that system or dislike that system. If
I am made the head basketball coach of the local school,
(25:58):
of the local high school, and I promise people when
they hire me, when they're thinking about hiring me, I'm
gonna go in a state championship in the first year.
Just hire me. Coach Kelly will take you to the
Promised Land. We're going to win a state championship. I
give you my word, and then I take over the
team and I find out it's a bunch of five
(26:19):
foot six white kids who can't run and can't jump
and aren't very good at basketball. Well, I mean, it
doesn't matter if I'm Bobby Knight and John Wooden all
rolled up and won. It doesn't matter how much I
want to win that state championship. And I do want
to win that state championship, and I'm gonna bust my
pluck to make sure it happens. We're not gonna win
(26:42):
the state championship, not with a bunch of five six
white kids. It's not gonna happen. What, Chris, is that offensive?
Is it? I didn't mean it to be. Everyone knows
what I mean. The presidency, its powers are limited. Now
that brought me back to the discussion of why all
(27:07):
this talk today, why this public announcement, Why did we
wake up and we're seeing Donald Trump? Our great farmers
and people in hotel and leisure have been stating our
very aggressive policy on immigration is taking a very good,
longtime workers away from them and those jobs are impossible
to replace. In fact, the criminals are getting hired, which
is kind of bullcrap, but still, why did we wake
(27:30):
up to this? Well, that's going to bring us right
back to the conversation we just had about the limits
of the powers of the presidency. I'll finish this up
in a moment. Hang on, Jesse Kelly, it is the
Jesse Kelly Show. You're lucky. I just didn't let that
(27:51):
song play. I'll tell you that right now on a wonderful,
wonderful Thursday. Remember if you miss any part of the show,
he could download the whole thing. I heart spotify iTunes.
Now let's round out this long discussion about what Trump
said about the illegal farm workers and hotel workers and
all the other stuff, and then we're walking away from politics.
(28:14):
I'm about rioted out. I'm politics out for the day.
We're about to go talk about some Alexander the Great.
I take that back. In the final hour. We'll probably
come back and do some more politics. But just a warning,
consider this your warning. Now I'm about to divert right
off of politics and everything else, and I'm going deep
(28:34):
into history about ten minutes from now. I don't know
when I'm pulling out again. So there you go. I
don't know when I'm gonna stop talking about that again,
I'll put it to you that way. I don't need
these looks, Chris, what Donald Trump said about illegal immigration, farmers, hotels, leisure.
(28:58):
I've discussed this with you before. Let me remind you
again that I ran for Congress a couple times in Arizona.
I was the Republican nominee for Congress a couple times.
And when you're running for Congress, certainly once you earn
the Republican nomination, every single area is the same. It
doesn't matter what area you're listening to me from. There
(29:22):
is a cabal of wealthy Republicans in your area, and
they usually know each other, work with each other, and
they are considered bundlers. We called them bundlers. The National
Republican Party calls them that. The Democrat Party calls them
(29:43):
that too. They have their own Your area has this
wealthy cabal of Republican donors who will raise you money
to get you elected to the state House or state senator,
mayor or congress or senator or whatever. And look like
if you're running for president, you'll have different pockets of
(30:06):
these people in the different areas all across the country.
George W. Bush. Here's a little tidbit you may not know.
George W. Bush had this, and he had a name
for them. They were considered because George W. Bush is
a Texan and everyone knows what the Texas Rangers are.
They were called Rangers Bush's Rangers. If you were a
wealthy Republican donor who bundled a lot of money for
(30:27):
George Bush, I forget what the number was, how much
you had to raise, you got the title of ranger.
And I'm sure you also got a cell phone number.
That's how it works. Okay, you got it. You with me? Well,
I'm running for Congress in Arizona. These Republican donors, almost
every one of them. They're business owners, different kinds of businesses, hotels,
(30:48):
restaurant tours. I found so fancy when I say that
Chris leisure industry. They met with me when they were
considering whether or not they were going to support my
run for Congress. It was still a primary at the time,
and they weren't really interested in my tax stance. They
(31:09):
didn't really care whether I was pro life or or
kill them all let God sort them out. They were
interested in my stance on illegal immigration, and they were
very concerned that I meant the things I was saying
back then about deporting every single illegal and securing the border.
(31:30):
When they found out I was dead serious about that,
they chose to bundle for somebody else. This, by the way,
explains why there are so many Republicans in Congress, James
Langford and others who are so open borders and always
end up siding with the Democrats on it. The truth is,
(31:52):
money is the lifeblood of politics. You don't get elected
to any position without raising some of it. You don't
have to raise the most of it, that's a lie,
but you've got to raise some. Even at city council,
small city council rate, you're it's gonna take some money.
You're gonna need some to raise some money for mailers
and bumper stickers. It takes some money. The wealthy people
(32:14):
who support Republicans for president not all of them at all,
So don't think I'm indicting everybody. But many of the
wealthy people who support Republicans for president and House and Senate.
They are business leaders who rely on immigrant workers to
(32:34):
keep the labor costs down. Sometimes those immigrant workers they
rely on are legal. Oftentimes they are not legal oftentimes
at my fancy Republican resort, Jesse Kelly Resort and Spa.
Please come on, well, spend some time by the fool
by the pool, enjoy our five restaurants. We'll give your
(32:54):
wife a facial. All this kind of thing. Well, I'm
I've got five hundred employees who work there. Two hundred
and fifty of them are illegals. I got them washing
the rooms. I got him doing the dishes, I got
them cleaning the pool. We're not going to let him
give your wife a facial, but you understand what I mean.
(33:18):
That's the dirty little secret. And so here is what happened.
We'll call this a guess if you will. Donald Trump's
phone has been ringing when he turned ice all the
way loose. And Tom Holman is a guy. He is
an immigration hawk in every sense of the word. Tom
Homer will deport his own mother if he finds out
(33:39):
she's here illegally. That's why I love him. Tom Holman's
been sending ice on freaking construction sites. Tom Homer'll kick
in the door of your restaurant and deport everybody there.
Donald Trump's phone has been ringing, and not from people
like you or people like me, people with large bank
(34:02):
accounts who write large checks. Probably people who have done
business with Donald Trump many times before, have been calling
and texting and saying, hey, mister President, I got a hotel.
I'm trying to keep profitable here. You just deported a
(34:22):
bunch of my guys. Now you can say, as I
would say, too bad, so sad. But this is what
happens when you spend years getting your economy addicted to
the drug of illegal immigration. It is a drug. It
is an addictive drug, and we are hooked on it
(34:45):
as a nation. Getting us off of that drug it
can't happen all at once, much as I want it to.
We're going to have to wean ourselves off of it
by electing border hawk after border hawk after border hawk
who will take the necessary steps. That's why Donald Trump
(35:09):
came out today and said what he said. I know
that doesn't ease your anger. I get it. I disagree
with him too, but that is what happened. I'm tired
of politics. I'm going to talk about history for an hour,
maybe more. I don't care. It's my show. If you
don't like it, now would be a good time to
change the channel because we're about to go back to
(35:31):
ancient history, one of the most fascinating sieges I've ever
studied in my lifetime. Before we do that, I want
you to nominate a veteran. Do you have a veteran
or are you a veteran? Do you have a veteran
in your life? This means a lot to me, It
means a lot to pure Talk. Allegiance flags are American
flags that are made in America. Pure Talk is giving
(35:54):
out a thousand of these to veterans before Independence Day.
That gives us less than a month. You have one
you'd like to nominate, even yourself puretalk dot com slash
nominate and while you're there, switch your cell phone service
that does things like this instead of things like Pride month.
(36:14):
Pure Talk is on the same five G network. They
love this country, They hire Americans, they believe in made
in America. And you're not sacrificing service. You save money.
Why wouldn't you switch dial pound two five zero and say,
Jesse Kelly, switch to pure Talk. It's time to talk
about Alexander the Great and the Siege of Tire Next
