We're going to dig in a little bit of this economic news, and we'll get back to the ass. Dr. Jesse questions. Yes, it's official. Dome is the Democrat nominee. She officially has enough delegates to make her the nominee that happened earlier today. Not that anyone was in suspense about that. The old Oracle told you the way that was going to go a long time ago, and I am such a huge fan of referring to myself in the third person with nicknames. I also gave myself that is just peak radio. That's peak radio right there. Let's talk about something ugly before we go back to all the ass. Dr. Jesse stuff, the economic news from today, the unemployment numbers. Bad, obviously, it's really bad here it was. My goodness. If you get three consecutive monthly readings on job gains that are less than 125,000, we only had 114,000 for the month of July. I'm beginning to smell a recession coming into view. If that's the case, just jump by the unemployment rate. My goodness, 4.3%. This is up sharply from, not long ago, where was it, it's 3.5, 3.6%. This is a bearish report for the U.S. economy. Okay. You combine that with this one. This one's from an E.J. Antony. I want to make sure I give him credit. Over the last year, this is just the last year, native born Americans have lost 1.2 million jobs, foreign born have increased $1.3 million. This goes back to what we've talked about many times before. I can't talk about, I can't even read all the emails I get from mainly young men, some are young women, but mainly young men and older men who are just despondent at the job market out there. You apply to million places, Jesse, I can't find work, Jesse, I'm desperate, Jesse, I'm demoralized, Jesse, I'm this and because I don't have much positive to say about it, I don't want to stay on it. I'm just going to say two things first. This has been, it is the overarching story of Western civilization for the last half century, if not more. The story is the leaders of Western civilization, ripping their countries away from the hands of the citizens and handing it to those who can be bought for a $500 visa card. It's why the Rust Belt is now the Rust Belt when it used to be the manufacturing belt, the steel belt, whatever you want to call it, now the Rust Belt. Desolate Rust Belt towns, people hooked on drugs, men, young and old can't find work, but if you hop on a train and get up here from Venezuela, you'll be washing dishes before you know it in a taxpayer funded hotel and little your little children will be educated in American schools also funded by the taxpayer. Now that's the bad stuff. So let me, let me just reinforce this. There is still opportunity out there, young men. If you're listening right now, there are opportunities out there. Are they going to look like the same opportunities your father had and his father had? No, they will not. In this day and age, I hear this story all the time. So I know it's true. You might graduate high school, great grades. You might get into college somewhere Lord willing, you're not buried in student loan debt by the time you're done. And when you get to college, you might major in something that is worthwhile. Not some ridiculous sociology degree, but you major in something worthwhile, worthwhile business management, whatever it may be finance. And maybe you work hard and get good grades in college. And one day you find yourself, boom, you're graduating, you're a college grad. You did it right. High school college, you studied, you, you, you picked the right degree. And now you're applying actually just got an email about this. I'm not going to read the whole thing as long. It's hard to read. It's only hard to read because it's so sad of Jesse, I've applied a hundred, 200 jobs. Everyone says, no, I can't even get a call back. Nobody wants me. Maybe you did everything right and you're not getting a call back and you're not getting a job. And I'm not here to tell you that's okay. And I'm not here to tell you that's going to change either. The chances are pretty good that we are going to enter into a completely different economy different culture than the one our parents have known. Maybe the whole graduate from college in four years and get a great job. Maybe that old mindset needs to die like now before we continue to cheat our children. However, there are tremendous opportunities out there still sales opportunities. Don't roll your eyes. A joke about being an RV salesman, you don't have to sell RVs or cars. There's a bunch of different fields. Almost every field involves sales. My field, my field has sales. There's sales and radio. There's sales and everything. You know how to listen to people? I didn't say talk. Did I? Do you know how to listen? Listen when they talk, find out their questions, concerns. You have hard work discipline, calling people back, sending a follow up. Thank you. It couldn't be any easier. It's a quick text message. Hey, man. Thanks. Appreciate what you did. Do you have discipline like that? Might be able to make yourself a real nice living. There aren't very many talented sales guys who are going hungry ever because someone always needs something sold to someone else and trades. Roll your eyes all you want plumbing, electrical, H back. You know, I grew up in Bozeman, Montana, who moved to Montana when I was 10 years old. Again, we did construction. I come from a construction family. It's what my dad did. It's what his dad did. My dad was a construction foreman. We moved out there who was a foreman for a construction company. We moved to Bozeman and we lived in 10 houses in 10 years because we would buy a house and flip it, trying to keep our heads above water, trying to earn money. There were no movers back then. It was me and my dad and a family friend in a U-Haul has sent scrawny little Jesse with my dad moving, moving fridges and stuff in and out, but that's what we did. But today is very much changed. It's changed a lot today. I heard this. I've been confirmed it, but the average average price on a new home in Bozeman, Montana where I grew up is a million dollars. That's insane. That's nothing like when I was a kid. A million dollars. Okay. That's crazy. Right? Well, what's this have to do with the trades? What's this have to do with what I'm telling you? Well, I was just having, no, I just had my Marine Corps reunion and one of my Marine Corps buddies, his brother still lives in Bozeman. Now he's not a fancy financier. He's not a doctor. He's not, he doesn't do any of these things. So how in the world could he afford to live in a town that's so expensive? Well, he does construction on gutters. He puts in and repairs and cleans the gutters on all these homes, sound miserable, sound beneath you. He made $750,000 last year, $750,000 last year. I am not here to tell you the opportunities are the same ones your dad had. They're not. I'm not here to say that. I'm not lying. I wouldn't mind you. I'm not going to blow smoke or put a sunny face on something that's bad. If you busted your butt and you graduated with a finance degree and now you're living with your parents and you're waiting tables at iHeart, I'm sorry. That sucks. It's unfair. It's wrong. I wish it wasn't that way. But I am here to tell you there are opportunities out there. If you start looking where the opportunities actually lie and those opportunities lie oftentimes in different places than the ones your parents told you about, then the ones your parents had and they'll be mad at your parents about that because that's the way it was. That's the way it was when I was a kid. My parents told me, you got to go to college. You got to go to college. You want a good job? Go to college. Go to college. I went to Montana state and flunked out. It's the look that was the old way of thinking. Maybe you do have to go to college to do whatever you're doing, but learn to be flexible with the opportunities that are out there. Learn to be flexible. Alright? It is the Jesse Kelly show on a Friday and as Dr. Jesse Friday, remember you can email the show Jesse at jessiekellyshow.com. Why should you do that? Because freedom is not free. That's why you should do that. Need me to break it down for you even more? This is not an attempt to ban TikTok. It's attempt to make TikTok better, TikTok toe a winner, a winner. Back to what the guy said, if you're stuck in a blue state, you can't move. What can you do? Well, you know how we talk about legal and local all the time, getting involved legally and locally. That's our path forward. That's our path for victory. We stay legal and we start taking back our communities. The future of our country, the future for you and your kids is community focused. It has to be community focused and maybe that stuff bores you. Maybe you're not into local politics and I get that and local politics is boring. It's lame. I know that. It is. I admit that. But if we focus locally, then no matter what happens nationally, we will be better off whether we're saved, whether it's a disaster, we'll be better off and if enough of us take back our communities, then that will have the benefit of raising the entire nation up. You know, when Genghis Khan was invading a nation, he didn't ride right past everything and head right to the Capitol. He began at the outpost. He began in the hinterlands and worked his way in. That's what I mean by legal and local. We focus so much time and energy and emotional energy on draining the swamp when there's a reason the swamp has not been drained in my 43 years on the planet, not even a little. It just keeps filling up, up, up, up, up and up some more. So set that aside and let's focus on local and legal. I didn't say we ignore national politics. Go out. Vote for Trump. Go out. If you're a senator gets elected, your congressman gets elected. Yes, that stuff's good. It stuff matters a lot, but if you're stuck in a blue state, here's the truth. Your county sheriff might be the most important election you ever voted. If you're in California right now, let's say you're on the right. You're in California and there's millions and millions and millions and millions of people on the right in California right now listening to me. Listen, it's not that I don't want you to go vote for Trump this November or whoever you choose to vote for, but your local politicians are going to have so much more to do with your daily life than any national politician ever would. You want to get involved, but you feel powerless because in your because you're in a blue state and your vote doesn't matter for presidential elections. You're not powerless. Nobody is powerless. And let's say you're stuck in a blue city, a blue part of a blue state, and you can't get out of there. What if you're in New York City? What if you're listening to me right now on the great W O R I might note and some studio apartment in Manhattan and because of work, that's where you have to live. Okay. Well, helping getting involved now by the because of the benefit of technology, it can be remote. Did you know you can phone bank for candidates from that studio apartment in Manhattan? It's in swing districts, candidates across the country. You can donate money if you have any to to political candidates or political causes. If you have one, there are so many ways to get involved and I want to stress this as well. Getting involved doesn't only mean running for office running for school board and it doesn't only mean helping someone who does now that we need to do those things. We have to take back these seats of power. How many group text messages have you sent out to your friends about voting? That's something because you get people that will email in and I understand this. Well, Jesse, that's easy for you to say you have a big platform and stuff that and you're right. I do have a big platform now, even though I have no idea why I'm here. I have a big platform now and I can speak to all these people. You're right. That's correct. I do. You know what I can't do? All the radio, TV and all this other stuff. You know what I can't do? I can't send a group text message to your friends and family. I don't even know who they are and even if I did, they'd think I was some weird creepy marketer trying to bleed money out of them. You on the other hand can shoot it out and say, Hey all, don't know if you know we have a school board election coming up next Tuesday. I've been working really closely with Jewish producer Chris. I think he'd be great for the school board. So go vote for Jewish producer. Actually, we know Chris would be terrible. I'm just using his name as a as a fill in here. Go vote for Chris next Tuesday if you would and you can do that and I cannot. That is a political power. That is power you have. I do not have. I don't even know who's running for your school board. I don't know anything about it, but you do. You have power no one else has. There's no one else on the planet who has your friends circle and family circle. No one else on the planet has your identical circle and no one else on the planet, but you has the ability to influence that circle. They're up 23% compared to the same time period last year. Means people aren't making their note and a caught buddy of mine. I was talking to him, you know, what he told me, said he's never had this many instances of people driving without insurance. He routinely shows up at Rex now. People are driving without insurance. Why are they driving without insurance? They can't forget afford insurance in order to make the car note there. Time to make sacrifices, people are still not getting it. These little signs out there show you something and and when I talk about this, I'll get to the Middle East talking a minute, but whenever I talk about this, it can get confusing for people. So though email in and they'll ask and it's a very honest, it's a, it's a great question really. They'll say Jesse, I hear about all these people who are hurting, but why are flights full? We're going to Barbados. People are going to Hawaii. People are, people are flying everywhere. People are doing nice things. People are, why are all these things happening yet? People are supposedly hurting. Well, what you're seeing right now is the disappearance of the middle class. The middle class is being pushed down into poverty. The reason you're still seeing people buy fancy cars and fly on planes is because a lot of people have risen above middle class economically and they're still spending money. I was actually at a nice hotel, really nice hotel for that thing I had to go do for iHeart. The reason I was gone Monday through Wednesday, the thing I had to do with the suits, we were down in Palm Beach and we're at this super, super nice hotel. I totally didn't belong there. We're at this really nice hotel in the place or people all over the place, absolutely all over the place. We're looking around my wife and I were thinking, what in the world and then talk to enough people and you figure out, well, yeah, all these people are rich. Rich people can withstand 20% inflation. Rich people can withstand these things. What happens is middle class people cannot, and so they're slashing their standard of living and being pushed down into poverty. It is turning into a country where there really are haves and have not. That's what inflation does. It guts the middle class, destroys the poor, guts the middle class and the super rich. It doesn't affect them at all. This goes back to what I was talking about when I talked about COVID all the time and the lockdowns and why I always yelled and screamed at all the media people who were okay with it. That's why I'm very grateful that I've had a very normal life up until the point I started doing this six, what six and a half years ago, whatever it is, because these people would sit at home and they do TV for a living or they do radio like I do for a living or or they're a columnist for this or a columnist for that. These people are sitting in their jammies doing media hits or sitting there typing up something on their laptop while they sit out, a son themselves on the deck with a cappuccino and they're telling you, lecturing you about why you have to shut down your business and stay home. Just stay home. It's only two weeks. What you can't take off work for a month and I used to scream about it all the time. That's easy for you to say you don't work by the hour. You don't need time and a half. You don't look when we work construction, when I work construction, which is the vast majority of probably my adulthood, there were many times. I didn't just need 40 hours. I really kind of needed 45 to 50 to make ends meet because I needed time and a half or if we were really lucky, it depended on the jurisdiction you were in even double and I was surrounded by guys like that. We weren't dying to get off of work at the end of the day. We were hoping they kept us late because we needed the hours and we live in a country where all the people who bring you the news, they don't even know what that existence is like. That's why they were all so casual, but hey, just stay home, selfish, jerk, what? And now as the middle class gets smashed, all the rich are still going places. Still eating fancy foods at fancy hotels in Florida. It's the off course, but poor people can't afford their car note. Hey, Jesse, I know it's asking a lot, but could you break down in as simple way as possible what's currently going on in the Middle East? The U S is divided Iran is supporting Christians. So it seems like there's a change all the time and I'm terrible in history and I really struggle to keep it all straight. What do we need to know and who do we need to watch? Okay. So let's have a little foreign policy talk before we dig into what's happening in the Middle East because foreign policy is an extremely, extremely complicated thing. I very rarely will judge anyone for their foreign policy because it's one of those things that's so complicated. There isn't necessarily a right answer. As I've told you before, the only foreign policy I find completely unacceptable is chicken hocks. If you're one of these politicians who believes in sending American boys to die, but you yourself, you're unwilling to send your sons and daughters to die, then that I have a huge problem with the Mitt Romney's of the world. That's the only foreign policy I disagree with. Mitt Romney wants American troops invading every inch of ground on the planet. He's got 87 kids and then they've never they've never once served in the military. That is completely unacceptable. Looking at a war and saying, Hey, that's important. Your son better go die there. Just not mine. That's unacceptable. Okay. So let's let that aside. Let's talk about foreign policy. Foreign policy is so incredibly complicated because the politics of one nation without any other nations involved, the politics of one nation is extremely complicated. Let's talk about Iran for a moment because we're going to make this kind of middle east centric to try to break a lot of this stuff down. Let's talk about Iran for a moment. Now, yes, Iran is its own country, but it's also an Islamic country, okay? But it only really practices one of the two sects of Islam. There are Shiites and there are Sunnis, Iran is soon or is sheite? I'm sorry. So they're a is an Islamic state. All right. Now, also on top of being an Islamic state, they have sold themselves repeatedly to the radical Islamists anywhere in the region. They've sold themselves as being the vanguard of Islam, the protector of Islam, the tip of the spear, you know, for years in decades, decades, for a long long time, the Ottoman Empire, they really were able to do a lot of what they were doing because they sold themselves as the protectors of Islam. We are the protectors of Islam. We will protect Islam. Islam will not be smashed. Muslims will be safe because of us, the Ottomans on a much smaller level. That's what Iran does right now for so many of the radical Islamic terrorist groups in the region. So that's one aspect of what Iran has to do. They have to as an Islamic country and as the vanguard of Islam, they have to act as if they're protecting Islam at all times. But wait, there's more. There's also basic power and money at play here. The very evil men who lead the country of Iran will, they may be Muslim. They may be not. You never know what's in somebody's heart, what someone truly believes, but they also are men who like money and they like power. How do I know that? Because all men like money and like power, it is human nature. They want to live in palaces and fly on private jets and smoke the finest hookahs. I don't know if they do that. I just like to imagine it and that's what they enjoy. So there's that aspect. So there's the Islamic protector aspect. There's the, I like money and power aspect to it. There's a domestic political thing going on as well in Iran where there are a bunch of freedom loving people in Iran who want this government to cast its yoke off of them so they can be free. Iran has to worry about these people. They have to worry that the revolution doesn't get too big. Are you seeing now? This is just one country. This is one country. I've spent, I've spent two minutes on one country. It's already complicated. Isn't it? Wait, we have the Islamic thing and the money and power thing and the people thing. We're going to, we're going to dig into this in a little more depth and we'll talk about the Middle East and some things that are happening. It is the Jesse Kelly show on a Friday. Remember you can email us. Love, hate death threats, Jesse at jessie kelly show.com lady emailed in and was asking about what's going on. Iran, Israel, they're trying to make some sense of it. So we're just doing a little foreign policy discussion here and I talked about just the different players, a few of the different players just with Iran, just with the country like that. Iran, what's their foreign policy? Well you have to play K to radical Islamists. You have to worry about keeping your own power if you're one of the people in charge. You have to worry about placating the people enough so that they don't rise up in open rebellion. You have to make sure you're being as radical as the radical Islamic terrorist groups you support demand you are and that's just Iran. Now let's let's set them aside for a moment. Let's talk about Israel. Israel has a completely different problem. So we don't talk about it much now. It's extremely divided domestically, politically in a lot of similar ways that we are. They don't just have two parties like we do either. All kinds of divides there. We look at foreign countries, whether they be allies or enemies, and we like to simplify things. Oh, Israel stands for blank, fill in the blank, whatever that may be, Israel has political parties too. People parties that have different views on how to do things. Okay. So you have that. Then October 7th happened. Now Israel is in this situation. Israel needs to respond. They just Israel decided they're going to take out Hamas. No more Hamas. We we're going to we're going to invade kill every single person in Hamas. We can possibly find they still have our hostages. We have to take out Hamas. Okay. Well, Hamas, they're funded from Iran. So Iran is now there and then Hezbollah is north of Israel in Lebanon. Hezbollah is much more sophisticated and well-funded than Hamas. Much more organized. Think of Hezbollah more of a standing army than a terrorist organization. Israel is now fighting there and then they're going to have to fight Hezbollah. But wait, they can't really do this alone, probably granted Israel is pretty tough, but it's really small country. It's only eight million people. That makes it even more complicated. Why up in comes the United States of America? Well, let's talk about this and this is getting complicated. I know I'm doing this on purpose because it is so complicated. There's no simple way to break it down. Israel needs the assistance of the United States of America. If they're to fight Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Yemen, other everyone else who seems to get involved, Israel needs the United States of America and normally Israel has the support of the United States of America, except now, ever since Barack Obama got elected, a huge part of the Democrat base hates Jews. You've seen this all, you've seen it all over college campus. You don't have, you don't need that for me. Barack Obama himself hated Jews. Barack Obama himself was raised in a black liberation theology church. It's a very, you've heard, Louis Farrakhan, you've heard Farrakhan called you termites, called Jews termites and things like that. That's black liberation theology type stuff black, that goes into all this complicated stuff. But that's where Obama came from. American communism, American communism is now represented in large by people who despise Jews. Look, we're just talking forum policy here. So now if you're a Democrat, if you're Barack Obama, we'll set him aside. If you're Joe Biden, you need to still, because you're so much of your fundraising base is wealthy Jewish donors, you need to still act like you give a crap about Israel. At the same time, you're worried about making your base too mad. So then you can't do that. So you're, you see how complicated this is. It's complicated, all foreign policy is complicated because of the different players inside of every nation and the different motivations of the different players inside every nation. I broke that down for you in a complicated way because it is so complicated and there's not a simple way to give you an answer. I wish there was. But oh, let me throw another little wrinkle in there. This is, this is the one that's really just going to make your eyes glaze over and you're going to want to move on. And I promise once I drop this little turd in the punch bowl, we are going to move on. Intelligence agencies propaganda lies. What if that's, what if that terrorist who got blown up in Tehran? What if Israel didn't do it? What if the Iranians didn't wanted to blame it on Israel? What if the rocket that landed in that soccer field that killed those little Israeli kids? What if it was some Israeli soldier playing with grenades and he dropped it and blew it up? That's not what happened. It was a rocket that came from level. But you see these things happen all the time lies propaganda. What if America was involved? Do I need to remind you about the Nord Stream two pipeline? We know the truth because the president has dementia and couldn't control himself. But remember the reporter asks Joe Biden, hey, what are you going to do about all you have at Chris? I'll go and play it. Let me answer the first question first, if Germany, if, if Russia invades, that means tanks are troops crossing the, the, the border of Ukraine. Again, then, uh, there will be, uh, we, there will be no longer the Nord Stream two. We, we will bring an end to it. But, but how would you, how will you do that? Exactly. Since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control. We will, uh, I promise you, we'll be able to do it. And about five minutes after that, you could hear the reporter's voice completely confused. All of a sudden we woke up one day and someone had blown some big holes under the water in Nord Stream two when NATO, along with the United States military was doing naval exercises, a mile from the pipeline. And we lied about it. We said we had nothing to do about the whole thing. In fact, we have reporting from Seymour Hirsch to this day that says America did that. We lie lies propaganda. What I'm trying to say is if you're going to sit down and try to make simple sense of foreign policy matters and wars and attacks and things, you're going to have a long, long, long hard road of it. There are so many different players here and so many different motivations and so many different lies. Just know that it gets confusing. All right. We have many things still to talk about.
