Summary
Jesse Kelly discusses political messaging, Democratic tactics toward Black voters, J.B. Pritzker's presidential ambitions, Trump's gas price comments amid Iran tensions, and various cultural and political trends affecting American states and communities.
Insights
- Democratic operatives use inflammatory racial language strategically to attack Black Republicans, not from racism but as a calculated tactic to wound political enemies and discourage defection from the party
- Trump's promotional communication style, effective in campaigns, creates messaging problems when applied to governance—particularly on sensitive economic issues like gas prices where voters seek empathy over hyperbole
- J.B. Pritzker is mounting a serious, well-funded presidential campaign through consistent media appearances and fundraising, distinguishing him from candidates merely seeking brand elevation
- State political identity shifts as demographic composition changes through immigration, potentially altering long-term electoral outcomes regardless of historical voting patterns
- Republican gains among Black voters (Trump approval rising from 12% to 16%) represent a significant demographic shift that Democrats are responding to with increasingly hostile rhetoric

This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. This is The Jesse Kelly Show. It is The Jesse Kelly Show. Final hour of The Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Tuesday. We're going to tackle all kinds of stuff. Why do they say terrible racist things? We'll get to that. I'm not so sure we should be counting out J.B. Pritzker yet. We'll get to that. Fighting off a crocodile, fight club in school, emails, Trump made a comment about gas prices, all that and so much more coming up in the final hour of the world-famous Jesse Kelly show. Now, Joy Ann Reed is useful. Very, very useful. People like Joanne Reed, you probably hate her, but you should understand she has tremendous value for us. You see, you want your enemies to be morons. You don't want your enemies to be smart. Barack Obama was very damaging for us because Barack Obama was smart enough to know what to say and what not to say. Barack Obama was smart enough to never say the quiet part out loud. Publicly, you always present that face like you're the cool, reasonable, moderate guy, just want to get along, why don't we shoot hoops? As soon as the doors close, as soon as the cameras are off, you go back to lighting America on fire. But publicly, you always present that face of you being a moderate. That's why Barack Obama did so much damage. It wasn't just his hatred of the country. It was his ability. People like Joanne Reed don't have that. She's too stupid. She doesn't have the IQ for it. So Joanne Reed will repeatedly say things that make people recoil in horror. I can't believe she said that. I can't believe she's wonderful. Joanne Reed tells you what they all say behind closed doors. now in florida they have a big governor's race right now uh i don't have any idea who's going to win the primary i haven't paid that much attention to it last i heard brian donalds looked like he was up comfortably in the republican primary well brian donalds is black dude right black dude congressman from florida joyanne reeds catching all kinds of heat today for saying this about him you could say uh jerry demings is a cop but he's a cop who cares about civil rights the other one is byron donalds who has decided to make himself the house pet of the republican party let white men pat him on the head in the united states house representative byron i think i called him brian house pet right pretty mean got some racist connotations to it now let's discuss this why do they do this people on the right will make this mistake a lot when they see communists, if the communists run into a black anti-communist, then there are many. In fact, looks like we're picking up more and more. Here's some good news out there. I think what we're seeing right now in the numbers is President Trump and the Republican Party are chipping away at the long-term advantage that Democrats have had with black voters, with African-Americans. You can see it right here. Look, Trump's approval among African-Americans at this point in term one, he was at 12 percent. You know, he's been losing ground with a lot of he's gaining he's gaining ground with african-americans he's up to 16 percent at this point and you say this isn't that big of a shift but i will tell you republicans absolutely love this shift that's going on because democrats have had such a long-term advantage the fact that he's actually gaining ground versus where he was and okay how do you think the communists are going to respond to black men certainly younger black men starting to realize the democrat party is evil and hates them and just wants to fill up their communities with foreigners. Because that's a big part of this. You realize that. I warned you about this a long time ago that Democrats were going to keep putting foreigners in black communities and they were going to anger black people and black people were going to leave because of it. Remember, I've been telling you this for a long time. What's starting to happen? What's the communist response going to be? What are they going to say? What kinds of things are they going to say to these young black men who are leaving? You know exactly what they're going to say. It's going to be the N-word. It's going to be the House N-word. It's going to be house pet. It's going to be this. And this is where people make the mistake. When they see communists saying that kind of stuff. You know, you don't use the N-word. When you hear it, probably grosses you out. When you hear them say it, you say to yourself, look, they're the real racists. Look at those guys. They've always called us racists, but they're the real racists. You ever say that? You ever thought that? You know that's not true, right? The communist actually doesn't care about skin color at all. It's all just about the revolution. As soon as you declare yourself to be an enemy of the revolution, certainly when you were formerly a part of the revolution, and then you become, in their minds, a traitor, it's not that they're saying these things because they're racist. they are saying these things because they're trying to hurt you they're searching for ways to hurt you at all times no matter who you are if you're a woman a former democrat and you say i'm coming out as a republican they'll say they'll call you every name in the book up and down the line if you were part of the revolution and now you're considered an enemy of the revolution these people will find the most vicious hurtful things they can possibly fathom and they'll say those things to you just in an effort to hurt you just let it go it's no big deal let it go communists say terrible things to me all the time doesn't bother me at all what chris i don't doesn't bother me i am a bad person that's that's actually a very fair point i i am a bad person so i do have to own that there's a little bit there's a little truth to what jewish producer chris just said, even though it wasn't very nice, there's still a little truth to it. You know what else is true, Chris? My plan, Maka plan, make affordable California again. We'll recognize children who maintain GPA level 3.87, 3.93. We'll support first buying car upon graduation from high school. We'll credit $505. Let's support our children. That's our schooling system. Thank you. Absolutely. School director was the ringleader of a child fight club. Speaking of supporting our children. You know, what, Chris? What? Look, I think toughness is an important quality in children. Nowadays, how many valuable lessons do you learn in school? I think if we're having the kids square off every now and then, that's it. No. Okay. You know what? In all seriousness, I'm not that old. Well, I guess I'm getting up there, but I'm 44. When I was a kid, they had a big smoker in our high school. And I don't mean someone ripping Marlboro Reds. They had a big boxing tournament in our high school and anybody could sign up. And people from schools all surrounding the place signed up and it took place in the high school gym. And they sold tickets to it. And everyone just went, oh, yes. And they just went out there and everybody threw hands. And I was thinking about that. I don't know why that popped into my head the other night. I thought, man, you'd probably never get away with that now. What, Chris? Chris said, was this officially sanctioned? Dude, I don't even think there were weight classes, man. I'm not even kidding. The people just went out there and strapped on the gloves, and they just started brawling. And I remember I was young I think I was in the eighth grade when they kicked this thing off I thought it was the greatest thing I ever seen in my life It wild the way things used to be not even that long ago You know when I was a K through 5, I was back in Ohio. Do you know the teachers routinely paddled the students? Paddled them. I'm not talking about the 1950s here. I'm 44 years old. the whole school was terrified of the librarians because these sadistic monsters in the library if you were talking too loud or you did something wrong their paddles they had holes in them to add for maximum swing and it hurt extra bad they would just drag you out of class and bend you over a desk right there in the hall and just start wailing on you why are you pointing at me Chris look we don't have to get into my details all right i don't know why you would think i would get paddled you know i might have what i might have been a very good kid for all you know yeah i might have been you don't know that trump said this today so today i signed a proclamation recognizing national youth sports and fitness and i'll also sign the very first copy of the new revitalized presidential fitness test award a certificate in recognition of achievement of the gold standard of physical fitness and this is something that bryson de chambeau wanted to do uh very badly see trump's on board with fight club right there's nothing there's nothing that gets these kids in better shape than fighting all right nothing gets you in better no i'm kidding it's a terrible story all right jesse i really like the idea of b-52s carpet bombing the persian golf from 30,000 feet, each with 8,758 pound solid shot cannonballs. No unexploded munitions to clean up. You guys are sick, right? Chris, do you have any idea the materials that would be required to haul that many cannonballs up into a place? Chris, it would not work. You guys are dumb. All right. We're going to talk about J.B. Pritzker. Fat conversation. Next. Miss something? There's a podcast. Get it on demand wherever podcasts are found. The Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Tuesday. Remember, you can email the show jesse at jessekellyshow.com. Your love, your hate, your death threats. We will, of course, get back to those in just a few. We still have to talk about crocodiles and everything else. But I mentioned this a long time ago. I got mocked for it, and that mocking may have been fair. I don't know. We're not going to know for a while, but I am concerned that J.B. Pritzker may make a serious run at the presidency. J.B. Pritzker, I think he is not being taken seriously by the right, and I think that is a mistake. He is the governor of Illinois. He is insanely wealthy. I don't know if you've noticed, but I notice things just because Chris and Corey make this soundless for me every day. J.B. Pritzker seems to show up a lot now. Rewind to a couple years ago. How often did you ever hear J.B. Pritzker's voice? It might have been only in the last year you even found out what he sounded like. Now you know exactly what he sounds like. He's on there all the time. Huh? Why is he on there all the time? J.B. Pritzker is doing the media rounds, and he is taking this run of the presidency seriously. Some guys take the run of the presidency seriously, and some do not. And you can tell who is and who isn't, like so many other things in life, by how hard they work. All kinds. Everybody wants to run for president because, as I've explained 100 times, running for president, it only helps you. It doesn't hurt you. It doesn't matter if you get embarrassed and blown out and you get 1% of the vote. Your brand, by the time you're done running for president, will be larger than it was when you started running for president. Therefore, in the end, if you're a politician, if you're a public figure, that's a good thing for you. There's no reason not to run. If you don't mind flying across the country, staying in hotels, eating out a lot. Yeah, why not? Lots of them. Oh, they go to the debates. They'll have a pancake breakfast in Ohio and then a fundraiser in Napa Valley in California. But other than that, you don't really ever hear from them because they're not really running. They're just kind of there to increase the brand, lose. Maybe you make a hard enough run at it that after you lose, you'll get a good job in the next administration. But it's kind of there to there. Now, J.B. Pritzker, governor of Illinois, he's not only been going on every single show he possibly can, J.B. Pritzker is starting to throw a lot of money around, a lot of money around. I am not going to make some insane prediction here on the show. I'm only going to say this. Do not count out J.B. Pritzker as it comes to somebody who can win the Democrat nomination. J.B. Pritzker, with his money, with his clear dedication to running, J.B. Pritzker is going to make a hard run at the presidency. He is. Whether he makes it or not, I have no idea. Pray to God he doesn't. He's a horrible governor. But J.B. Pritzker is going to be somebody to take seriously. There. Said it. Feel better. Got that off my chest. Hey, Oracle. tell me please tell me this talarico that would be james talarico in texas tell me this talarico idiot can't win in texas i mean with all that texas represents that would be devastating and demoralizing i saw that he is ahead in the polls but i find that hard to believe so what's okay so all right first very rarely am i going to come on here and tell you so and so can't win i have done that many times in my life. I've been involved in politics for 20 years. I've been wrong a lot. He can't win. He can't lose. Be careful with that. Politics is a funny business. You never know what's going to happen out there. I don't think he's going to win. I don't think there's any chance of that, but there could be. I don't think he's going to win. I certainly wouldn't bet on it. But I do want to touch on something you said there. You said, with all that Texas represents that would be devastating and demoralizing. Well, what does Texas represent? I'm talking about what Texas represents now. Not what it represented in 1960. Not what it represented in 1900. Not even what it represented in the year 2000. It's the year 2026 With all that Texas represents What's that? Oh, don't get me wrong Thankfully, there are still millions and millions Of red-blooded, God-fearing Americans Who live in this state And they make this state wonderful That's why I chose to live here I could live anywhere with this dumb job It's just one of these jobs you can live anywhere And I choose to live here in Texas I love it but states do not magically stay the way they've always been if you are importing foreigners from all over the globe. God and country, Texas, right? Mega church on every corner. Right next to a mosque now. What city is that in Texas where they have a 70-foot monkey god? There's a big old statue. I don't know. It might be Houston. It could be Dallas. My point is that if you don mind the imports what your state used to represent that doesn necessarily mean that where they going to keep representing in the future States change as the people change Remember that. We'll be back. Feeling a little stocky? Follow, like, and subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show, and I owe you a heartfelt apology. Gee, Chris just reminded me. I can't believe I forgot. It is a national holiday today. It is Cinco de Mayo, and we have not even paid our respects yet to the Mexicans. Take it away. Ay, ay, ay, ay. I am the frito bandido. I like fritos corn chips. I love them, I do. I want fritos corn chips. I'll get them from you. Ay, ay, ay, ay. Oh, I am the frito bandito. Give me fritos, corn chips, and I'll be your friend. The frito bandito, you must not offend. Munch, munch, munch, munch fritos. Hotel boss eaten by a crocodile is identified after a hero cop is lowered into the predator-infested river to grab the killer before the victim's remains and six pairs of shoes are cut out of his stomach. Now, just stay with me for a moment because this is just the ugliest story in the world. I find it fascinating because I'm a terrible person. So this guy, 59 years old, he gets in his truck, Ford Ranger apparently, if you want to call that a truck. He gets in his truck, Ford Ranger. apparently there's a flood washes his truck into the river they think he then got out of his truck which you would have to do because the freaking truck is filling up with water the river is flooding they don't know whether or not he drowned before the crocodile got him and I think I think we should probably root for drowning probably drowning I'm with you Chris I hope he drowned first that's not the thing that I wanted to discuss I mean that is a thing obviously fairly significant but the other pairs of shoes apparently crocodiles they can't digest the plastic and all these things flip-flops sandals Nike trainers in high heels now they're wondering if this croc was just one of these man-eating crocs. Crocodiles get this way. Happens in Africa all the time where they just figure out human beings are pretty easy prey and that's what they focus on. There's one. I don't know if they ever got him. I don't remember what country this is but there's one they think has killed 300 people. Yeah, Chris. You should look it up. It's fascinating. But this is the part that got me. It is not known of Batista drowned beforehand so on and so forth. they apparently have been taking the shoes and the sandals they found in his stomach to the local villages to try to identify if anybody lost a loved one who owned that pair of shoes. Chris says it's good. Is it? Chris said closure. You know, you're probably right, I think. But I think I would rather not know. I think I would rather not know. What, Chris, you disagree? Chris said the croc just ate the shoes. That doesn't mean that's how they died. You're right. You're right. But do you think that's where your mind would go? if they found out that your shoes were found in the Croc's stomach? Do you think you would think, wow, I hope Aiden, Jaden, and Brayden drowned first? I don't think I would want to know. And I have no idea why I chose to talk about this. It's a little dark. Let's touch on this part of it. Well, this subject. So Trump continues to talk about Cuba. Marco Rubio today was talking about Cuba. Cuba, Cuba, Cuba. The Trump administration is very clearly, they want Cuba. Trump has said it multiple times. It's no mystery. Cuba's next. Cuba's next. Cuba's next. This is combined with this. And this story I'm doing here is more in response to the guy earlier who was really mad about gas prices and he was mad at Trump. oil tops $114 a barrel as the Iran truce falters and there are fresh attacks that rock the Strait of Hormuz. I don't know how long gas prices are going to be high. And I'd be lying if I told you I did. I don't know how high they're going to go. It might be down next week. I don't know where this is going or when this is going to end. I can't promise you anything. Obviously, you are aware that if prices stay high for five months, it means probably a rough night, a rough night in November. That's the way people vote, right or wrong. That's how people vote. Trump could probably tighten this messaging up a little. I also thought oil would go up to 200, 250, maybe 300. And I know it will be short term, but I thought it would go. I look today, it's like at 102. And that's a very small price to pay for getting rid of a nuclear weapon from people that are really mentally deranged. All right. So Trump caught a lot of heat for Trump caught a lot of heat for that today. And I don't mean to laugh because I realize that that might be one of those things that upset you. Gas prices are super high. And Trump's out there saying, God, it could be worse. I thought it'd be higher. all right not everyone's good at everything i'll explain it this way i'm not i'm not telling you not to be mad about high gas prices you have every right to be mad about high gas prices about high prices on everything you have every right to be mad about that and if you if you see trump as being the one responsible for higher prices you have every right to be mad you're not a you're not a you're not a subject you're a citizen i got that Donald Trump's messaging style has always been much better on the campaign trail than it is once he gets into power. And here's why. Trump came up. You know what Trump's background is. He's a big promoter, fight promoter and all these things. What do fight promoters and these kinds of people, what's their style like? everything has to be over the top. It has to be because that's just stylistically how they learn to promote things. So everything is the best ever, the biggest ever, the most beautiful ever, the greatest ever, the hottest ever. When you're describing your enemies or your opponents, he's the worst ever, the dumbest ever, the ugliest ever. Everything is the best ever, the worst ever. Everything is over the top. Now, that has served Trump very, very well during three winning presidential runs because he gets up behind the microphone and he says, this guy's the biggest idiot in the history of mankind. You elect me and I'm going to make this country the best ever, the richest ever. I'm going to be the best ever and we're all going to be the best ever and the greatest ever and everything's greatest ever. When you're campaigning, that is a very, very effective style of campaigning. Once you make it into office I understand why I got so many angry emails about that I understand how that something that could rub you the wrong way when you just got done paying a gallon when it just cost to fill up your truck and you're mad about it, you're driving away from the gas station stewing, and then you turn on the news, and you hear this. I also thought oil would go up to $200, $250, maybe $300. And I know it would be short term, But I thought it would go, I look today, it's like at 102. And that's a very small price to pay for getting rid of a nuclear weapon from people that are really mentally deranged. Trump's selling the Iran war. And maybe you agree with his reasoning there. That's a small price to pay to make sure these dirty giadis don't get a nuclear weapon. if you're someone steaming mad about gas prices small price to pay is probably not i wouldn't recommend repeating it whatever we'll do a couple emails we'll check out of here hang on missed out catch up jesse kelly show.com it is the jesse kelly show final segment of the jesse kelly show on a wonderful, wonderful Tuesday. You can email us, jesse at jessekellyshow.com. Let's get to some of these emails as we round this out. And a reminder that tomorrow I'm going to try to wrap up the Napoleon invasion of Russia history. Don't shake your head, Chris, like you know. I might wrap it up. It's not that it's too long. The problem is there's so much to it. And I want to just encourage you again, I've done this before. If the general subject matter of these kind of history things, if it fascinates you, I don't even think I would tell you that I'm hitting the high points. Here's what I mean by that. I'm hitting what to me are the high points, but I'm, I'm different than you. You have different things that motivate you or make you happy or make you sad. you might read the same material on Napoleon's invasion of Russia and you might think there are totally different eye points. You might start digging into this and you might be mad. Jesse, how in the world could you skip whatever it is that you think I skipped? If it fascinates you, if the subject fascinates you, dig into it. And this is a titanic struggle between two gigantic armies with all kinds of things to it. there are going to be so many parts of this that I don't bring up at all. Just trying to give you a general sense of the whole thing. All right. Hey, Jesse, how come you don't read your death threats on the air? I read some of your book, but with my 10th grade education, it was a tough read. The auto body trade has been good for me, and I'm now making more money than I ever had learning a trade, painting cars 20 years plus. Hey, Chris, have you ever painted a car? I think that would be a cool thing to paint cars. What? It takes a lot of skill. It doesn't look like that in the movies. They're just kind of what they're just pointing something at it and spraying. I feel like I could do that. Anyway, I trust your trade knowledge and respect your wisdom on the trade business. I see the Boston Red Sox one. And now you and Jewish producer, Chris have to eat crow on gambling with your emotions. And then he says, go Mariners, screw the Mariners, pal I'm kidding I wonder when we play the Mariners next and by the way the Red Sox did not beat us in that series the Astros won the series and me and Chris were appropriately obnoxious to Corey as soon as he got back into the office as God intended dear Jesse Indy Kelly the Phoenix Project now this is a good question he's calling me out I remember you mentioned doing a long history on Napoleon's retreat from Russia, but also mentioned a short segment about the Phoenix Project in Vietnam. I haven't heard you mention that one since, and I was curious if it's still in the works, where the topic is still too hush-hush for an internationally famous doctor of anthropology to discuss. He says his name is Dean. I've told you this before about this whole Phoenix Project thing. I'm glad you want more history and I'm going to come up with what's next. And I told you my intention was to do a Phoenix Project thing. I have not set that goal aside. One thing I find frustrating yet fascinating about the Phoenix Project, this was a Vietnam CIA assassination program, in case you're wondering what it is. It's very, very hard to find materials. for obvious reasons, right? It was a secret project, a kind of a thing. You don't necessarily want to write a ton of books over. Maybe there were some aspects of it that maybe we wish we had that one back, but I don't like to ever sit down and try to give you some sort of a history story or a history episode if I don't have what I think is a pretty firm grasp on it. There's always going to be people listening who are experts on subjects that I'm just touching on who know far, far more than I do, but I at least don't want to be a moron. And as of right now, I could give you a five-minute view of what the Phoenix Project was. I've listened to men who were part of the Phoenix Project and described aspects of it. So I could do maybe five minutes is a stretch. Maybe I could do 20, 30 minutes on it. Could I give you an hour on it? I don't know. I don't know that I could do that. I'll put it this way. New Zealand police hunt down woman over New India. Quote, apparently New Zealand has a bunch of people from India there now. And this lady was not too pleased about it. And she dropped a New India on social media. Lady, all I have to say is this. My plan, MACA plan, make affordable California again. We'll recognize children who maintain GPA level 3.87, 3.93. We'll support first buying car upon graduation from high school. We'll credit $505. Let's support our children. That's our schooling system. Thank you. I hope that lady listened and listened well. And now... Here's a headline. Go, you know the thing. Headlines we didn't get to. Canada fast-tracks permanent residency for 33,000 rural workers. The Canadian people are wonderful people, and watching them have their country ripped away from them by filthy commie politicians just drives me absolutely up the wall. It's fun to make fun of Canada. I've had so many wonderful times and wonderful experiences with Canadians. It's a shame, man. Another racial gerrymander bites the dust. DeSantis approves new Florida map ahead of the midterms. Look at that. Heavy D just down there being effective like he's always been. Los Angeles Democrats seek to open the door to foreigners voting in city elections. It is odd, isn't it? How many Democrats across the country are always finding ways to bring in more foreigners and keep more foreigners here and get more foreigners voting? It's almost as if they know more is better for them. Trump plans further troop reductions in Europe. Trump is unbelievably, well, it's very believable, but he is very, very salty with NATO that NATO did not help him, has not helped in any significant way with this Iran stuff. And I'm telling you what, Trump's not the type to forgive and forget with that kind of thing. I'll be interested to see what happens going forward with these alliances because Trump is not going to let it go. We will be back tomorrow. Part three of history. Who knows what else? That's all.
