This is the Jesse Kelly Show.

It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Final hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Final hour of the Jesse Kelly show on a magnificent

Tuesday. A veterans day. Once again, happy Veterans Day to all who served. It's a good day to make a phone

call. I know we don't like to make phone calls now that we're in the texting era, but if you have a veteran in your life, make a phone call.

Consider making a phone call to that veteran.

Jesse, I don't understand what's going on when the shutdown started. President Trump

threatened to unleash Russ Vutt at the Office of Management and Budget OMB to eliminate

Donald Trump is a different kind of a character, for sure, obviously, as you're well aware.

Sometimes Donald Trump floats out trial balloons for policies to see how it lands, to see how it lands with the people, see how it lands with his base.

this thing. This is a trial balloon. Dividend to our middle income people and lower income

people of about $2,000. And we're going to use the remaining tariffs to lower our debt.

We're going to be lowering our debt, which is a national security thing.

$2,000. We'll give you a $2,000 dividend. That's a trial balloon. He's going to see where that lands. He does that.

Sometimes he's not floating a trial balloon. Sometimes he's selling something, something that he kind of feels forced or possibly is forced into. We don't want 600,000 Chinese spies educated at our universities in this country. That's

by its communist ways.

We don't like the university system.

We don't want 600,000 Chinese spies in.
