America feels like it's coming apart at the seams. And you can see it everywhere you look, right? Politics isn't about solving problems anymore. It's about outrage, tribalism, and humiliating the other side before they have a chance to do it to you. Media and politics have become a blood sport where winning matters more than truth, and lies travel faster than facts. And somewhere in the chaos, someone's benefiting, and it's certainly not the American people. Today I'm joined by wildly popular political radio host Jesse Kelly, who cuts through the noise and answers the uncomfortable questions. How do we get here? Who's benefiting the most from this chaos? And why does it feel like the country is being pulled apart on purpose? No alliances, no biases, just a hard, brutally honest look at the current state of America. Let's get into it. Keeping It Real with Jillian Michaels. Hey, Jesse, thank you so much for joining me. How are you?
B
I'm good, I'm Good. I'm enjoying 58 degree weather down here in Houston while all these other people are freezing their butts off. And I think it's great to rub it in the face of all my friends. I think it's wonderful. I'm great.
A
Yeah. The east coast has been hammered, hasn't it? Like record storms.
B
It's been hammered. But I grew up in Montana. Okay. I grew up in 20 below. I'm tired of hearing all my back east friends whine because they had to pull out an ice scraper one time in their life. I promise you'll be fine. Put on a coat and some gloves. Defrost the car. Slow down when you're driving around. It's gonna be fine.
A
You know what's funny is we recently moved to Wyoming and we. It's been the most mild winter, by the way, but I. The acclimation process has been a bit like, left the windshield wipers down, and then they ended up breaking off the car. Like, there's been a bit of a. But I'm. I'm learning. I'm learning. I happen to be in LA at the moment, which actually terrifies me, to be honest. I do not feel safe here. And I have so much to talk to you about. Like, Don Lemon was just arrested. Klobucher just announced she's running for governor to replace Tim Walls. I. I mean, millennials think that they're in the middle of World War II, but I woke up to this one, and it. It really bothers me. And I'm wondering if it bothers you. Another nurse, this one, I think in Florida just came out and surrendered his license because he said that he refuses to perform anesthesia on people who are maga. What do you think about this? Obviously this is a thing theme, which is why it's bothering me. We all famously saw the other nurse this week talking about filling syringes with some kind of poison to go after ice agents and trapping ice agents at a bar and putting laxatives in their drinks and spraying them with poison ivy. And I would have thought this was an outlier. Right? But we all saw what happened after we lost Charlie Kirk. And the deep blue hell of Blue sky had people who. Nurses teachers, like, literally suggesting violence against their fellow American citizens who were red. Are you alarmed?
B
I'm extremely alarmed. I also understand the historical precedence for this. That makes me sound like a kooky right wing extremist, which of course I am a kooky right wing extremist. But. But it is true. If I can filibuster for a minute, please. Wonderful show. So struggle sessions, these are a thing that took place under communist regimes in Mao and Pol Pots, Cambodia. And what they were so often was they would grab some political enemy of the regime. Oftentimes they just made up a crime and they wanted to punish him. But it's not just they wanted to punish him. They'd be in some village somewhere. They would drag this person out and put them up on a stage. Oftentimes there was a big production and they do all the horrible crap that communists do, torture them and murder them and all stuff like that. But it was what they did to all the fellow villagers. You were not allowed to stay home. You not only had to go out and you had to watch, they would have their people in the crowd and they demanded you participated. You had to cheer when they were pulling his fingernails out. You had to participate. Neutrality was not an option. I had a conversation with my sister, actually five minutes before I just got onto the show, talking to my sister. She's up in Montana. She lives in Bozeman, Montana, where I graduated high school, barely. But they're doing some stupid ice out thing nationwide. Businesses are supposed to close to protest.
A
Friends aren't going to school today.
B
Yeah, of course, of course. So what alarmed her was the businesses are basically being strong armed by the local communists in the area. If they're staying open, why? Why aren't you participating? Why? The businesses just want to stay neutral. Hey, I just want to sell socks some eggs or something like that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Neutrality is not an option. We have this new generation of nurses, lawyers, judges, people at critically important places in our society who, who they're not just quietly a Democrat, which that's totally fine. They're not just quiet, vote left, whatever that's you do what you do. They are trained to be active participants in some sort of cultural revolution. And they believe whatever position they have in life, whether they're the public librarian or a nurse or whatever, that they have to use that position to fight as a soldier for the revolution. And normal people who don't think like this don't even know how to. Don't even know what to make of any of this stuff. And when you don't understand the historical concept of how that works and why they do that, it really freaks normal people out. I just want to go get a checkup. Why is my nurse injecting arsenic into my veins? People don't understand. And, and I sympathize. I feel terrible for normal people who just want to live a normal life around these savages.
A
Are you experiencing any of it personally? I'm starting to experience it personally at my kids school, when I go to fly. I mean I'm starting to. And it's making me a little bit paranoid, which I truly hate. But are you seeing it in your own life?
B
Somewhat. But what we've done is similar to you moving to Wyoming. Yes, a few years ago because I lived for one year in Washington dc. It's a long story story. But I lived in one year in Washington DC surrounded by all these dirt balls. And we just didn't want to live there anymore because everyone's so freaking rude. No one says yes ma' am or no sir. No one holds the door open for people. And we said, you know what, we're going to red America. And it wasn't even necessarily just about politics. I just wanted to go to a place where they said yes sir. You know, where people would hold the door was please and thank you. So we moved to red Texas and then we've moved to the reddest. One of the reddest parts of red Texas. And you know, I want to encourage everybody watching, listening. It is a better life if you can. I know a lot of people can't with jobs and family and schools and things like that. I totally get that. Totally get that. But it is your day to day interactions. Buying a cup of coffee. I just got a cup of coffee on the way here and instead of being snarled at by some pink haired freak barista cussing me out with her Che Guevara shirt, On it was the most pleasant young lady wearing a Jesus loves you shirt talking to me about how much she's looking forward to the weekend. Like, she wouldn't shut up. I just wanted to be left alone. She wouldn't shut up. She was so freaking pleasant. It's so much better in the different places where you surround yourself with people who share your values, that the little parts of life make life better. It's not just the taxes that make it better. Your day to day interactions are better.
A
I hate to admit that I completely now agree with you. And I am the kind of person that, let's say a blue haired barista got in a car accident outside. I would actually be one of the first into the fray, calling 911, trying to be helpful. And what I would hope out of that interaction is that this individual is like, oh, that's Jillian Michaels. She's maga. Or even though I perform self professed moderate. Having said that, I would hope that it's like, see, we're all people. We're all here to help each other. We're in this together. There are absolutely bad guys that are going after all of us. And that would be like big ag, big food, big pharma, big not each other. But now I'm in a position where I go get a coffee and I'm worried what someone, I swear to you, I'm worried what someone's gonna put in it. I recently was putting my kids on a flight from Wyoming to Los Angeles on Delta, and my kids were on the same flight. Long story short, they separated my kids on two different flights by nine hours. My son is flying unaccompanied minor and they have these technical difficulties and they're telling me that he's gonna have to spend the night in the Salt Lake airport. I'm actually not kidding. And I'm looking at the flights and I'm like, you're lying to me. Like, I can see there's flights available that they can go on the same flight. I'm like, this is. You're absolute, absolutely lying to me. And now you're fucking with my kids. And I'm thinking, this is not possible. Like, this is not a normal interaction. And then the woman I said, can I get your name? And she called Jesse. She called security on me. Now, of course I did nothing wrong or it would be all over the COVID of tmz. But I thought like, okay, this is, you know, who I am and this is personal. And I just, it has to be. There's, there's no universe where that's normal, I'm afraid. Dave Rubin was going for a colonoscopy recently and he's like, have you done one? And I was like, well, outside of the fact that I don't really want a stranger putting a hose in my rear end, I found, I found workarounds like Cola Guard. This is terrible advice coming from a health expert. Go get your colonoscopies. But it just, it's like I can't, I don't trust anymore outside of like my handful of doctors, having a medical professional in a blue city give me a colonoscopy, put me under anesthesia. It's. I'm losing my shit. Do you think I'm losing my shit or do you think you don't?
B
No, I think you're aware and I think that there is a certain heaviness that comes with the awareness of what's happening. That there are these people and I don't wish I was one, but there are these people. I refer to them as normies. And keep in mind, I mean that to be is the most insulting thing humanly possible, that they don't, they just don't care about politics, they don't pay any attention to what's going on in culture or politics or law. And you know, obviously I have nothing against sports, I'm a red blooded American male. But they just want to watch football and then go to the game and have a couple beers and if you even bring up the news or something to them, it's like you're just bringing, it's like you're bringing Ebola virus in front of, of them. I couldn't possibly want it any less. And I think it was Plato, I don't know. I went to community college. One of those old philosophers said the cost of paraphrasing, the cost of ignoring politics is you will be ruled by idiots and monsters. And that's what we have now. And we convinced ourselves for the longest time in this country that all these people who do these horrible things like terrorist acts on the streets, I like people protesting, by the way, I'm an American, but these people who do terrible things, attack cops and assault people and vandalize things, and the enviro wackos who are gluing their butts to Van Gogh paintings and stuff like that, we always convinced ourselves that this would just, it would just stay on the bottom. And again, I mean that when I say bottom in the most insulting possible way, this would be like the, the, the dregs of society all the Scum. Well, they're going to participate in all the scummy things they do. It will never rise up into my life in any way. It'll never rise up into positions that actually matter. These people are always just going to be on the street corner with bmi at about 8,000% and miserable, and they hate their life. And that's where they're going to stay. They're not going to be my nurse. They're certainly not going to pilot my plane. They won't ever be a judge in a critical case involving public safety letting in the streets. They'll never rise to that. Right. But that was always painfully naive. They were working their way up from the bottom of the barrel, and now they're in high places in society. We had somebody in the Biden administration who. I don't even know what this is. I'm so freaking old. You're in la, so maybe you will know. He was into pup play, by the way. Please don't describe that to me if you do know what it is. It was the grossest thing ever in the world.
A
Hold on.
B
Dresses. He had access.
A
I know who you're talking about. He stole the luggage, right? Yes, yes, yes.
B
The guy wanted to get fired because he was stealing people's luggage.
A
Yes.
B
He wasn't an intern in the Biden administration. He had a critically important role. And these people have risen into high society. We look around now and we're like, what? That guy should be back on the corner somewhere. I don't get it.
A
It's a. It's essentially a furry pop play you asked for. It is a form of consensual adult role play where a person takes on the mindset or behavior of a dog and another person takes on the role of a handler. Okay.
B
I just want it to be. I just want it to be 1995 again. I do, too.
A
Oh, my gosh, Jesse. I was talking to my kids and I was like, the last year that I remember feeling. And clearly I was behind the eight ball because everybody, like yourself, tells me it goes way farther back. But I felt normal in 2018. 2019 is when I felt the world on glue with, like, you know, you could be. It started with healthy at any size, that whole thing, and then Covid happened. But, you know, you talk about these communist revolutions throughout history and what we're seeing with. I think they're. Honestly, they seem to be millennials, less zoomers. Zoomers are like black pilled, nihilistic, hate both sides. But these millennials, you know, Renee, good Alex Preddy, they were 37. You're seeing white, mostly white millennials who think that they are soldiers in World War II. Have you seen the clip of Tim Walls talking about Anne Frank? Have you seen this?
B
We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that
C
story of Anne Frank.
B
Somebody's going to write that children's story about Minnesota. That's what gets these people. Jillian, is. We're all. We're all. All of us are susceptible to what goes into our eyes and ears, as everybody knows. I mean, you have to monitor that what goes into your eyes and ears is going to help form your heart, right? If you are one of these people, and let's say you. You have some sort of drug addiction, including all these prescription meds, right? You're popping SSRIs out of a PEZ dispenser all day long. Maybe you're from a broken home. Maybe you're. Maybe just in some way, you're broken, right? So already you're going to be more susceptible to what you see. Now take someone who's already broken, miserable, and then add in the phone culture, where all day long, I'm not one of these old guys criticizing your cell phone, but all day long, you're on one of these lib websites consuming every. Every politician. It's Nazis, it's Hitler. It's Himmler, it's Nazi, Hitler, Hitler all day long. And this stuff ends up programming your mind. And finally, you drive and drop your kid off at daycare and plow your car into an ICE officer. You're kicking out tail lights. You're screaming at people. It's a result of language. Language leads to mindset, and mindset leads to performance. Over and over and over and over and over again. I drill this into my kids and everyone I know. Language matters because it changes your mindset. And where your mind is, that's where you're going to go. And this endless rhetoric that is always aimed at these broken people, always aimed at these broken people. You're exactly right. They end up thinking they're soldiers. And then for the normal person who doesn't want to be in a war, they don't even understand that these people see themselves as the tip of the spear against Hitler, Part two, It's just absurd, but they're.
A
They're being encouraged. Like the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota told citizens to, quote, put their body on the line. And they are. How about this one? Did you see the clip of Gavin Newsom talking about Bevino in a Nazi watch this. And then it was disproven.
B
Gavin Newsom commented, I believe he was
C
talking about one of your trench coats.
B
But you take a listen and respond. Greg Bevino dressed up. It's as if he literally went on ebay and purchased SS garb. Greg Bevino, secret police, private army, masked men, people disappearing. Quite literally, no due process. That coat looked like it wasn't something
C
you could find on ebay. I'm just saying that coat is definitely border Patrol issue. I've had it over 25 years. I bought that as a young age in approximately 1999.
B
Oh five, six years ago.
C
I wore that very coat, the one
B
that he's talking about, to Commissioner Chris Magness coronation there at Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington, D.C. do me a favor and our viewers will thank me for asking this, because we will and we'll follow up on it tomorrow. Can you get us a picture of you in that coat at that ceremony?
C
I believe I can do that.
B
And he did. As promised, here is the coat pictured
C
at a Biden Department of Homeland security ceremony in 2022.
A
Jesse. He's wearing it at a Biden ceremony. He worked for Biden. Tom Holman worked for Obama. Are they, do they not know history or are they like,
B
they know people, good people, decent people. They really have a very difficult time understanding how much the communist is always trying to lie. It's not that they're okay with lying. It's not that they're okay with some hypocrisy because the entire thing is aimed at destroying everything. Wonderful beauty. You just mentioned the, you know, healthy at any size. That was meant to destroy beauty. That was meant to destroy beauty. I'm walking in the mall with my kids and the Victoria's Secret store has a woman in lingerie on the front of it that looks like she could play left tackle for the Baltimore Ravens. But what is that actually about? But you can't sell that to anybody. No, they can't sell destroying things. So you just understand you have to lie about everything at all times. There are two things. Well, there are many, many things. But there are two things I could bring up right now that almost every Democrat watching or listening absolutely believes. They believe that Donald Trump told people during COVID to inject themselves with bleach and they think he called Nazis. Very fine people. Now, the reason I brought up those two things are every single human being watching and listening has a cell phone probably in their hands at the moment. And what Donald Trump actually said is not that and it's on video. It would, it would take, if you have a cell, if you have cell reception, it would take five seconds to find the truth. You could look at it right now if you wanted to. Yet this world of make believe, this world of lies has to be constantly built and constantly maintained to keep these people angry and bitter and miserable and keep them marching out on the streets. Gavin Newsom, as much as I despise him, is not an idiot. He knows exactly what that uniform is. But he also understands the people he needs to go out and donate to him, knock on doors for him, phone bank for him, do all the things he needs. He needs them angry and whipped up in some monstrous frenzy. And so he just lies and he doesn't think anything about the fact that he's destroy, helping destroy these people's mental health. He doesn't have any qualms about that at all. We just saw two communists killed in the past few weeks because of this kind of rhetoric. Because they get whipped up in a frenzy and they go marching out. Now they're dead. Now I'm totally against these people. I despise these people. But I think that's frigging horrible. A 37 year old mother is dead. That other dude, too pretty or whatever his name is dead. I don't want to see anybody die. And they're dead because they get programmed by this endless rhetoric over and over and over and over and over again. That's done on purpose. These Democrats who say this stuff you mentioned put their body on the line. Yes, we could do the entire show on their rhetoric. They, that's like that all the time. That's. What's her name? Jaya Powell, that congresswoman from Washington. I have a cut. I play on my show all the time where she tells people to get strike ready and street ready and assess their risk tolerance and using every coded word she could say to basically go out there and if you're one of these mentally ill freaks sitting at home, you interpret that as marching orders. You have nothing going on in your life. You're miserable. And now you get to be a soldier for the cause. And they go out and they get themselves killed and, and none of these people feel bad. If I said one thing on my radio show that caused somebody to go get hurt or God forbid, killed, I think I would retire. I would be, I would be devastated to know that I did that to someone. Yet these people do it all the time without any remorse.
A
The New York Post has been delivering impactful headlines for over two Centuries. And every weekday morning, I'll bring them straight to you. I'm Caitlin Becker, host of the New York Post, cast from Washington to Wall Street. If it matters to you, you'll hear it here. And it wouldn't be the Post without the stories other outlets like to ignore. So ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast, listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know, I. I've been honestly devastated. And I. When I look at someone like Renee Goode or someone like Alex Preddy, you can see it's. It's exactly what you're saying, that they are brainwashed and they think they are doing God's work. I have clip after clip after clip of people like them talking about that. I wonder if it's because millennials just don't have any meaning in their lives. And I say this as a person who grew up in California surrounded by very wealthy people that don't have a heck of a lot to worry about. And I find that they create problems in their lives because they need some sort of meaning, some sort of survival struggle. I feel like these kids have nothing. Like, everything's easy, food is plentiful, everything, you know, call Uber Eats, call Doordash. Everything is right at your fingertips, delivered to your door. And this to them is like, I have meaning. You know, my grandparents fought the Nazis and now I have a meaning in my life. Do you think I'm taking this a step too far? Do you think there's something to that?
B
I don't think it's humanly possible for you to be more right. Speaking of your rich neighborhood guy, he's super wealthy, one of these entrepreneur types, and he lives in this super ritzy place in Utah where they all have 20 acre plots. I think there's only like 15 plots. This amazing, exclusive community, armed guards, all that crap. And okay, these are people who want for nothing. Most of them retired, want for nothing. It's all Lamborghinis and stuff like that. There is a never ending squabble about where you put your culvert and his fence, that they are fighting, they are at each other's throats at all times. These people in between private jet trips to the Alps to go skiing, come back home and just start tearing each other apart. Because human beings are made to struggle. We have to struggle for something. We have to feel like we are fighting for something. I believe that is how God made us. I'll always believe that. And if you don't find the Right thing to struggle for, then you will find the wrong thing to struggle for. People who don't ever get involved in any of the endless weird crap that we argue about, you know what they are, they're fighting for food every single day. You go to some poor country in Africa that's living below the poverty line, they can't find clean water. You know, you're probably going to die of diarrhea at the age of 25. They don't give a crap about any of these freaking things because they don't have time. They have different struggles in life. But as soon as you get to the place where we are and we're blessed to be here as a country where every single person has access to clean drinking water, you're probably feet away right now from. From a faucet full of clean drinking water where you can adjust the temperature in your car or office, just a little flick of this or that, and you can live at whatever temperature you want. Even when we have our struggles about bills and debt and things like that, those aren't the kind of struggles that keep you grinding for it every single day. In a society that gets this rich, fat and bored has degenerated basically every single time in human history is very common.
A
You know, I could point them in so many different directions, it's staggering. Like, I know, go after big insurance, the military industrial complex. Like, there's so many places to channel this energy, and yet they are completely propagandized. And I wanted to throw up. Have you seen. I'm sure you've seen this, but in case anybody hasn't. Okay, now, Right, Okay. So for anybody who hasn't seen this, they basically made him look. Look how much more muscle they put on the guy. They filled in his beard. They, like, made his nose smaller. They widened his face, they broadened his shoulders. So, like, how. And I bring this up because. What was he too ugly to care about? Msnbc like you. The fact that you. I got one more for you. I just read an article because in case Americans are not sympathetic to other people, all of us love dogs. Right. I just read an article about how ICE is leaving dogs behind that belong to undocumented immigrants so that all the dog lovers will be like, these animals are abandoning the dogs. The propaganda is insane.
B
Well, I think we have to understand as much as we don't like that word propaganda, no one likes that word. There's so many negatives that come with it. Right? You're immediately. You picture Goebbels, something like that.
A
Yes.
B
But the truth is that we all have to participate in our side of it. And when we see lies, when we see things like you just pointed out, we, all of us, everybody watching you, me, we have to point that out. Because if you're not out there spreading the truth, then the lies are simply going to take over and they'll be absolutely everything. It'll be the entire information space.
C
Yeah.
B
The best way to do it is to participate. I made this comparison yesterday on the radio. It's the most ham fisted stupid analogy of all the ones I've ever come up with, and that's saying something. But that game, Hungry Hungry Hippos, everybody remembers it where you have the little round plate and there's all the balls in the middle and then there's the big hippos around the side and you're pressing the button trying to get the hippos to grab the balls. Right. Well, that's really what we're all involved in. And the balls are the, the people in our society. And what's happening is they are competing to grab those people with lies and pull them in, grab them in, lie about everything all the time, grab them in. And human beings generally don't want to change their mind once they've settled on something. We can't afford not to play. We have, we have. You have to sit down and you have to try to grab them too. You can sit and complain at them. You can call communists liars or hypocrites. But as I already pointed out, that would be like telling a basketball player he jumps really high that it's a compliment, that they're trying to lie. Of course they know they're hypocrites. They don't care about that. That doesn't move them. The only way to counter this is to counter it with the truth. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not overcome it. We have to be the light.
A
Is there any point over the past year that you have felt like ice went too far? When I hear something crazy pepper sprayed a kid at a high school, they've zip tied children, they detained a five year old. I immediately actually go to the computer and I'm like, hold on, let me look, let me watch, let me see. And for me there are moments where I'm like, okay, these guys are breaking. I would break too. You know Alex Preddy, I don't understand why they didn't put him in jail when they bro his rib in the previous altercation taking him to the ground. I, I, but for you do You. Do you think there are moments where these guys are. Are snapping from all of this hatred and all of this pressure? Do you think there are moments where they've gone too far?
B
No, they have gone near far. God. And God forbid, if these people ever let me actually be in charge of something, it would be so much worse than what you're seeing right now. But the truth is that there. This is. It's not only paid agitators, people. Again, normies don't understand this. And I get that this is a well funded campaign. I forget the name of the group, but I know Arabella Advisors, it's one of those.
A
Were you talking about the Neville Roy Singham Group? I actually have this. There's three different groups I want to show you. You know what, Jesse, you've cued me to call up my O'Reilly clip on this matter.
B
Actually, here's the most important part of this whole thing. Unreported. Okay? There is a man in Shanghai, China, an American citizen. His name is Neville Roy Singham. He works with the Beijing government. He is funneling millions of dollars into the United States of America through 501s like party for Socialism and Liberation, Democratic Socialists of America, Minnesota Immigration Rights Action Committee. There he is. Okay. Connecticut born, 71 years old, billionaire tech guy. He is funneling money here to these radical organizations who are then agitating professional people. Communists mostly, because Singham's a communist. All right. To go in and foster rebellion.
A
That's what you're talking about, right? Is that one of them?
B
It's. It's not just that. It's who they're targeting. They're. That's 100% right. And it's exactly what I was talking about. They actually have a very specific target because elections in this country are won on the margins. I know exactly where they're talking. Are targeting. So all this information came out. I forget whose reporting it was, and forgive me for that, because I like to give people credit, but It's. They're targeting 11 million women. 11 million married women, I believe it was. That is why you are watching mostly women break on Instagram and things like that. They identified this. They did it, by the way. This is not some fly by night throwing darts at a dartboard thing. They did all kinds of psychological studies and things like that, trying to figure out how they can use video imaging who they should go after. And what they came up with was a plan. And the plan was, when it comes to things like mass deportations, they believe that they can turn the hearts and minds of 11 million women. Why do they go out there? Until again, an easily verifiable lie that ICE arrested a 5 year old that's already been fact checked, debunked. It's not true at all. Yet they're still repeating that lie. What is the idea behind it? And they have the picture up. He's all over everyone's Instagram feed. He's an adorable little boy. He's in his little stocking cap. He's. What? What is the idea? The idea is to shift 11 million women over to the left on this issue alone. They know they're not going to get you, to be frank, they're not going to get anybody who's watching this right now. But that's not necessarily the target of it. And they, they're not trying to get everyone. They would take everyone. They don't need everyone, though. They just need a little here and a little there. Just shave off a little margin here and shave off a little margin there. It's designed for people with good hearts. Women are, in general, much more caring, nurturing human beings than men are. That's just how God made us. And therefore children, women dying, people in distress. It's why George Floyd was so, so effective for them. It's a sweaty guy's calling for his mom and every mom in the country, immediately her heart breaks, just does. Right? It is a targeted thing, and it's targeted. It is a very professional operation, to be honest with you. It's essentially a psychological operation designed for a very specific group of people. And it will have some success. I'm not saying they're winning, but they are going to have successes and you're going to watch people in your life fall to that. And it's going to be very frustrating. But propaganda is propaganda because it works.

You know, they are linking now though all of this propaganda and these signal chats back to people who work in the government in Minneapolis. I've got another one for you. I hadn't even heard of this group. It's called Defend612. I should have looked this up. My guess is 612 might be some sort of like Minneapolis area code. I'm not totally sure, but I got another one. Take a look at this one.
C
Dan Engelhardt of the Park Board has a project called Defend612. So I went to look him up. But when you hit the Minneapolis Parks website, for some reason you get this giant warning saying if you encounter ice, report it immediately to Minneapolis Parks. I'm sorry, in what world is this? Okay. And it goes higher than the Parks Department, by the way. It goes to the president of the City Council. He's next. Commissioner Englehart is the one and the ringleader behind defend612. We finally know. Here he is. There you go. I have also found one of the leaders of Defend 612 is none other than Elliot Payne, the president of the Minneapolis City Council. Elliot Payne is the council president. Here he is with State Senator Doran Clark of the dfl, which I think at this point almost should be considered a terrorist organization. So a sitting state senator is supporting a militant organization like Defend612 which is putting citizens in harm's way. Good job, Doran Clark. Good frickin job. And if you still don't believe me, they have lists of 2900 plates of ICE agents, pictures of vehicles, and they've tracked them like 15 there, 19 there all over the state of Minnesota. Do you not think there is something unhinged about this group?
A
So, Jesse, it's beyond just like foreign actors. It's politicians. And now I believe that they're. The Department of Justice just issued subpoenas to Governor Walls, Mayor Jacob Fry, the St. Paul mayor. I can't pronounce her name, so I won't bother trying. And others in connection with the federal investigation into alleged obstruction of federal immigration officers. How is this. I mean, I guess it's not, but this should be illegal. This should be jail time if. If you are an elected official who's essentially inciting an insurrection.
B
Well, here's how it actually works. You know, we'll use the Mafia, for example.
C
Okay.
B
What is the actual strength of the Gambino family in New York City? If we go back to their heyday, it's not as much that now, but if we go back to their heyday, what was the actual strength? Is it Tony and Vinnie the Nose willing to shoot someone in the back of the head? That's part of it, but there are a lot of people who can shoot someone in the back of the head. The actual strength was the government, people they had bribed and coerced onto their side. Owning a district attorney, owning a cop, owning a judge, owning a politician of some kind. State power is really the ultimate power in most places in society. And if you can get that state power to work on your behalf, then you are protected from up on high. It's much more valuable than Vinnie, than Vinnie the Nose, if you think about the modern Democrat Party. And by the way, everybody watching, please don't think that I'm some Republican Homer. I savage Republicans all the freaking time because they're a bunch of coward, weaklings. But that's another story. But if you think about the Democrat Party as a Mafia family, you'll understand what it is a lot more. Every place has a treasury. St. Paul has a treasury. Minneapolis, the state of Minnesota has a treasury. The United States of America has a treasury, and that's always full of the most amount of cash. And the actual power of the state is there. The power to take away people's freedom? The power. Power to ruin somebody's life. They can ruin anybody's life they want if they so choose. Well, the communists were never just going to stay on the streets throwing poop at people. If that's where the power is and that's where the treasury is, well, that's where they're going to go. Of course he's in the Parks Department. Of course he's a state senator. Of course he's a governor. But that's where the juice is. Of course that's where he's going to rise up into those positions and give people, give his allies access to the public treasury. And he's going to use that position to publish or to punish his enemies. One of my favorite stories, favorite, but it's horrific, is the Biden administration after Trump beat him this last time. Well, Trump, I realized he beat Kamala, but after they lost, Trump was a lame. Or they were lame duck, right? Because it's a few months. It's a couple month period before they're actually sworn in. So they lost the election. What did they do? They took, I believe the number was $3.1 billion, and they shoveled it out to Stacey Abrams, a communist activist in Georgia. Shoved it out to some group she was doing. Just a blatant, blatant theft, blatant. That. Why? Well, you've only got a couple months left with access to the public treasury. You have to use it. You have to reach your greedy hands into it and throw it to as many of your allies as humanly possible. These people for these, for good people, they would never think about using the town treasury for political reasons or for something like that. Good people wouldn't dream of something like that. But the way these people think, they would never dream of not. That's the only point of taking that power. Otherwise, why would I work for the stupid Parks Department? Of course I'm going to use that power to. To aid my friends and punish my enemies. Power should be used. Good people don't think of it. Don't think like that. Even if you would break, if you were given power, and many of us would, even if you would break, you don't like to think that about yourself. If I was king of the world, what would you do? Everyone would like to answer that question of, well, I would. I would help people, hope, help the poor, and I would lift these people, good people. That's how they answer that question. For a communist, that's a ridiculous answered. You use power to reward your friends and punish your enemies. Of course.
A
You know, it's so funny you say that, because just this morning, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson announces new guidelines for hindering ICE activities and protecting illegals, directs police to follow ICE around, film them, share the info with community orgs, prohibit ICE from using city property, and then allocates 4 million of taxpayer dollars to the legal fees of undocumented immigrants. And famously, Newsom, when Trump was first elected, took $50 million of taxpayer money to give to groups like Chirla, NGOs like Chirla, which are there to defend undocumented immigrants. But the crazy part, right, is he takes taxpayer money, he gives it to organizations like Churla, these NGOs, who then donate the money right back to his campaign. It's everything you just described in a nutshell. I'm just trying to understand is this. Listen, you said you savage Republicans, who would you savage right now? I want to. I so desperately want to. Let's savage somebody. So I at least feel like I'm not completely biased. But. But I'm not seeing things like this.
B
Well, what about all the frigging losers in the House of Representatives in the Senate who are currently trying to fund all these scamming NGOs? You just mentioned this NGO, nonprofit, really organized crime circuit we have in this country. We actually have taxpayer money. When Americans are struggling to pay groceries and make ends meet, we have record credit card debt. And yet they are taking our taxpayer money and throwing it to all these different NGOs who. Whose job it is to train and import as many foreigners as humanly possible, thus taking American jobs. That Republicans are participating in this too. Now it's not all of them, keep in mind, but Republicans, especially the most powerful ones in Washington D.C. participate in these crimes. They're not innocent of these crimes. I care about Americans more than anything else. And when I watch these people trash America and trash Americans and I get emails to my shop, friggin stacks of them. Emails from people. Jesse, we can't make ends meet. Jesse. Every credit card is maxed out. Jesse. My son just graduated college 4.0. He can't find a job. The company he applied for, though, he did, they just hired 500 people from India. That kind of stuff makes my head want to freaking pop off. The United States of America is for Americans first. It doesn't mean we can't be welcoming to other people. Of course it's for Americans. French France should be for French. Germany should be for Germans. That's the point of a nation. If it's for everybody, then there's no point in having boundaries and sovereignty in a country at all. Your country should be serving you first and your politicians should think about you first. But these dirt balls we have in office, Republican and Democrat, they don't care about that at all. They tell us all day long we don't have talent, America sucks. That Americans are lazy. And I reject that outright.
A
Yes, they do tell us that there are 7 million jobs that Americans won't fill. And I, gosh, I cannot remember who I was interviewing about this, but I asked that question. You know, there's 7 million jobs we won't fill. And it's like, well, for what salary? You know, we're. There was recently something I looked up and in California, documented or American citizens or documented people who came here legally get $32 an hour on average, whereas somebody who is here illegally creates a shadow economy. They're getting paid illegally $18 an hour. And of course they don't pay income taxes. So as much as people love to, you know, I've had so many of my liberal friends who are like, there's a study and, and, and, and people who are here illegally, they've paid 96 billion. I'm like, yeah, but if you do the net numbers, it shows that they cost the system 150 billion a year. So you got a net loss of 54 billion drain on the system. Why don't we force people to do E Verify? There's a bill right now that's bipartisan called the Dignity Bill, and it gives a path to citizenship for dreamers. It gives a path to legal status for people who've committed no crime, are not living off federal assistance, who've been in the country five years, who are working or will sign up for the military, legal status for seven years. They have a $7,000 fine. It demands E Verify, so people cannot hire illegal labor. And yet, Jesse, I don't hear about it anywhere. It's bipartisan. It's a Democrat in Texas and a Republican in Florida. It's got strong border walls and the whole. But no one talks about it. Why? Is it because both sides just want this political football?
B
No, it's because that bill sucks.
A
Does it suck? Really? I've been loving it. Tell me why it sucks.
C
Oh, my God.
A
I thought it was like God's gift solution to this.
B
It sounds good. It's one of those things that sounds good. But here's how it ends up working in practice. The enforceable parts of the law, well, they don't actually get enforced by Democrats, meaning, like a bill like that. Here's what it always does. They'll call it bipartisan because it'll build a border wall. It'll build 100 miles a border wall. Well, then Joe Biden took over the presidency. There was all kinds of border wall mandated by law, and they just broke the law. In fact, they spent taxpayer money every single day to sue so they wouldn't have to build any border wall. And then when Trump won the election, they took the materials that were made for the border wall that was mandated by law, and they sell. They auctioned them off. I believe the Trump administration got it back, but they auctioned them off. So the parts that are actually border security parts never get enforced or included at all. But you know what magically ends up getting enforced every single time? All the freaking people who get amnesty and citizenship. No one ever violates that certain part of it. The part that never gets enforced is border security. But that's how they get you. They sell it. They have great top lines on it, right it's bipartisan. And of course, this humble dishwasher who's never broken the law, he's going to get to stay here and we'll have a border wall that's 100ft high. But that's all a bunch of crap. They're all a bunch of liars. And that lady from Florida, that Republican. I told you I savage Republicans all the time. Maria Salazar.
A
Yes.
B
She's a weapons grade moron too. Absolute moron. If you've ever heard her discuss any of the issues at all. She has no basic, basic understanding whatsoever of foreign policy, of domestic issues. It's like talking to a toddler. She shouldn't be sponsoring any legislation at all. She should be reading, reading books and learning about important issues. But that's not what happens. We get, well, I just mentioned it in the beginning of the show, people who don't pay attention to politics. The result of that is you get ruled by morons. We're full of morons, Republicans and Democrats. It's just the least capable people in the world. There's nothing more disheartening because, because of what I do now, I end up at events or things like that with politicians, United States senators and members of the House of Representatives and people who have these big, high up, important positions. Almost all of them are morons. Not all of them, but almost every one of them. You talk to that person and you think to yourself that that person could never run a small business, ever, ever. Just the books and how hard it is to manage a small business. That person couldn't run a small business. And every single day they make decisions to try to manage a country of 300 million people. Complete and utter morons, all of them.
A
You know, I want to show you it's. That's so disappointing. I actually felt that maybe there was some hope there because I thought, well, it seems like everybody's kind of getting what they want and it goes after the bad guys and it demands cooperation from blue cities. And it was bipartisan. Wrecked my dream on that one. It's okay, I'll be fine. Just a little fragile. Today I want to get your opinion on this one. Why? Right. Why do the Dems want to not put up the border wall? We've all famously seen now the video of Hillary Clinton when she was in the Senate advocating for a border wall. We've all seen Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer talking about how we have to protect the American worker, we have to enforce our immigration laws, We've got to build a border wall. We've got to deport people at record numbers. And yet all of a sudden there's been a total 180. And the top theory on this is gaming the apportionment map. Take a look at this. This clip went viral. This is a kid named Jeff Mead, real smart kid.
C
Look at this above my head. This is the 2030 apportionment forecast, which will be based off the 2030 census. So this is predicting if states will increase in electoral votes, decrease in electoral votes, or stay the same. If you pay attention, every single state that's decreasing in electoral votes is blue. Essentially. Every state that's green is either red or trending red. You can argue or debate about Georgia, but my overall point still stands. This is terrifying for Democrats, and I'll explain why this is also likely why Joe Biden let in millions upon millions of illegal immigrants and why we've seen Democrats fighting us so hard to enforce our immigration laws and deport these illegal immigrants.
A
Now, I fact checked this. Actually, Grok did a little fact checked for me. So here's what it says. Here's a concise report on the 2030 EV apportionment forecasts from the video, the video we just watched, based on sources like Brennan center and Census Project. Key statements, blue states losing evs, red trending, blah, blah, blah. Okay, GOP baseline. So projected changes. These are the projected changes. Florida will gain four seats. Texas will gain four seats. North Carolina will gain one seat. All red states. California will lose four seats. New York will lose two. Illinois will lose one. Minnesota will lose one. Oregon lose one. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, all lose one. So there's no question that it's a concern. And famously, California's had an outmigration of like one and a half million American citizens, but an influx of roughly, I think a million people who are undocumented. And Newsom went on Sean Ryan, he's like, it's a lie. You are. We've had more people come into California. It's like, yeah, but they're. But they're illegal. And of course the census counts everybody. You don't have to be a citizen. You don't have to be here legally. So overarching theme here is that the Democrats want to game the apportionment map to control Congress and to have more votes in the Electoral College. Do you think there's truth to this or do you think this is like a QAnon conspiracy theory?
B
It's actually so much worse than that. Now it's not only true Democrats are on camera. Every now and then you'll get one of them. I just mentioned how dumb they are. Every now and then you'll get one of them who will just sit down on camera and they'll flat out tell you that I. It was a lady, I forget her freaking name. She was a congresswoman, I believe, from New York. She sat down on camera and flat out said, I need all these illegals in my district because that's how I keep my seat. She has to have them. They'll come out and tell you this. It's a simple. It's math to them. It's simple recruitment. In fact, I've. I've warned people. The communists who hate, hate, listen to my show and hate, watch my show. I've warned them. Look, you can hate me all you want, but you understand that you're being left behind, too. You have these videos of, for instance, black people in Chicago screaming at Brandon Johnson. Why are they screaming at Brandon Johnson? Because Brandon Johnson, when he gets a new influx of foreigners into his city, he stuffs them into the poor neighborhoods. What are the poor neighborhoods in general? They're the black neighborhoods. Well, these black people are Americans. They don't want their rec centers full of foreigners. They don't want their schools full of foreigners. They want safe streets and save like everyone else. And they're screaming at them. And you can tell the sense of betrayal they feel. Well, I still don't think they fully digest anybody on the Democrat coalition, the domestic coalition fully has digested what has happened. You're all being left behind. Every single part of the Democrat coalition domestically has been left behind. And it's a simple matter of numbers and affordability. To be frank, if I'm a Democrat politician and I care nothing for the United States of America or anything else, if all I care about is my power, well, if I have these different parts, the feminist coalition and the fake civil rights, the enviro nut jobs and all that stuff, well, I'll placate them as much as I have to, but it's a lot of work. I have to pass legislation. I have to go out. I have to talk to them. Especially when it comes to, like, the black population. There's nothing more hilarious than watching Democrats humiliate themselves trying to pander to black people from Gavin Newsom telling them that he plays B ball. Oh, I know, it's the best. I was eating Mac and cheese and playing B ball. He actually said that on camera. I about died laughing. Pete Buttigieg, who's pulling at zero in the black community. For some reason, he was drinking a 40 on camera out of a brown paper bag with a couple black dudes trying to bruise his. Anyway, beyond that, beyond that, they don't want to keep going through these humiliation rituals. You know who you don't have to do that for? The hundred thousand people you just brought in from Somalia. You give them a place to eat, you give them a couple welfare checks, you give them access to the state treasury, commit all the fraud you want. Just give them a couple little pieces, a couple little breadcrumbs. They're no trouble at all. I don't have to show up and talk about the hot sauce in my purse. I've brought in a whole new crop of voters. I don't have to mess with any of these domestic freaks who make my life miserable anymore. I've got, I've got the new, the new pretty girl in town. She's 50 million new foreigners, they're going to vote democrat and their 8,000 kids, they're all going to vote Democrat the rest of their lives as American citizens because of our bonkers law in this country which says you're an American citizen if you skip across the border and have a baby here. That's the ugly truth.
A
You know, Brandon Tatum actually said that to me. He said it's diluting the black vote significantly. And of course, you know, I didn't follow it, that I didn't think of it that way until he pointed out, and Bill O'Reilly also pointed out the same thing, that the communities who are suffering the most because their emergency rooms are overrun, their schools are overfilled, their daycare, and meanwhile they are struggling to make ends meet. And you've got people who are here and not paying income tax, getting food assistance. In California, there was a bill put forward to give them interest free loans when people can't. People literally cannot afford rent, let alone a house. And there was a study, I think they came out of HUD that said, I think 2/3 of rentals now are going to people who are undocumented. So they're literally being priced out of their own neighborhood. You know, and then we love this racial narrative, which kills me, despite the fact that I think so many of these ICE officers are of color and it's hurting people of color disproportionately. Like, this doesn't hurt me. I sometimes want to just turn around and be like, hey, I'm the person that isn't affected by this. I'm the one that gets the cheap labor. I mean, this is hurting the people who you profess to care about the most. I can put my kids in a private school. I can hire a nanny. I can hire a driver. The hypocrisy is astounding. There's one other thing, Jesse, I would like for you to point out to people, or at least correct me if I'm wrong, because I hear this a lot on this theory of, you know, oh, they're gaming the apportionment map. They're like, well, you've got people who are undocumented in Florida, you've got people who are undocumented in Texas. But those people can then flip the seat from red to blue. Correct. So it can actually turn a red state blue. If you have people who are undocumented there getting benefits from Democrats.
B
Who.
A
Or am I getting that wrong?
B
No, you're not getting it wrong at all. And the Biden administration actually made a very focused effort to do this. For instance, states like Ohio. It was previously, for most of my life, most of your life, a critically important swing state. You really had to win in Ohio in order to win the presidential election. Well, because Democrats hate blue collar people now. They've completely lost Ohio. Ohio is a very red state now. Well, that's a big problem if you're a Democrat. You're a little behind the eight ball on that. So the Biden administration, a lot of people forget about this story. There's a small town in Ohio named Springfield. It's 2,000 people. Just a wonderful little, just kind of poor Ohio town, but cool little town. I was born in Ohio. I know it well. The Biden administration brought in 2,000 people from Haiti. They completely changed the town like that overnight. Now, those people's kids, where are they going to vote? How are they going to vote? Springfield, Ohio, went from being a blood red, blue collar town to a blue town overnight, immediately. Now, the good news is in the red states in the country, in the red areas, which is part of the reason everyone's moving there. When local. This is how immigration enforcement really needs to work. When local law enforcement, sheriffs and police departments encounter someone who's in the country illegally, you just take them down to jail. It's very safe. And then you call up ICE and ICE shows up and they take them away and they deport them. You make contact with law enforcement, okay, you're here, you're breaking the law. Immediately, you're gone. The reason it's getting bad in blue places is they inform their police departments, their jails, to simply turn them loose. People don't know these stories. In New York City, for instance, they, knowing ICE was coming, took a bunch of violent foreigners and they just let open up jail doors. Let's get out before ICE gets here. They turn them loose on the population. Now you have women getting raped in the parks. You got all these stabbings, these horrible things happening. Democrats do this on purpose. It's not an accident. It's been done on purpose to you. It's awful. It drives me crazy.
A
Jesse, I've kept you. I promised I would only keep you for an hour. This is. This was light. Will you please come back?

Keeping It Real with Jillian Michaels – Episode: “EXPOSED: The Billionaires Secretly Funding the Chaos in Your City”
Date: February 4, 2026
Guest: Jesse Kelly, Political Radio Host
This compelling episode of "Keeping It Real" dives into the state of American political and cultural division, with Jillian Michaels and guest Jesse Kelly taking a brutally honest look into the origins, beneficiaries, and tactics driving chaos in U.S. cities. The conversation exposes how powerful interests—including certain billionaires, organizations, and elected officials—are allegedly funding and fomenting discord for their own gain. Moving from personal anecdotes to big-picture analysis, the episode delivers insight into propaganda, psychological manipulation, and the erosion of trust in fundamental American institutions.
[03:30] Jesse Kelly:
"Struggle sessions... you had to participate. Neutrality was not an option."
[08:11] Jillian Michaels:
"Now I'm in a position where I go get a coffee and I'm worried what someone's gonna put in it."
[19:02] Jesse Kelly:
"We have to lie about everything at all times… There are two things… every Democrat watching… believes… yet this world of make believe, this world of lies..."
[23:49] Jesse Kelly:
"We have to struggle for something… If you don't find the right thing to struggle for, then you will find the wrong thing."
[31:18] Jesse Kelly:
"They're targeting 11 million women... It's designed for people with good hearts. Women are, in general, much more caring, nurturing human beings."

"If you think about the Democrat Party as a Mafia family... every place has a treasury and the actual power of the state is there."
The episode’s tone is candid, at times caustic, and deeply skeptical of establishment narratives and both major parties. Jillian’s approach is confessional, often expressing personal vulnerability, while Jesse’s is polemical, laced with dark humor and dire warnings, but always focused on honest appraisal over “tribal” loyalty.
This episode pulls no punches in unpacking how chaos and division are—according to the hosts—being stoked by a combination of foreign billionaires, political opportunists, and activist organizations. Listeners are left with a deeper, and sometimes darker, understanding of the forces shaping contemporary America, and a call to vigilance and critical engagement with both media and government narratives.
Recommended for listeners seeking an uncompromising, critical, and highly opinionated take on current events at the intersection of politics, media, and social psychology.
