Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Jonathan and Kelly Show.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jonathan rush for the man who wants to be the
governor of South Carolina for another four years, that.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Is Henry McMaster.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
And now, as you can hear behind me, Wolf, the
crowd is very filed up. They are letting the press
corps here know exactly how they feel about what we're
doing here.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Will Kelly Nash, what's that Kelly show?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
W DOOC I had.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Actually forgotten about that. That happened at the State Fairgrounds
and it was a Republican meeting for Himdrimant Masters. During
the primary, Jim Acosta from w from CNN was there
and people were giving him such a hard time, and
that idiot actually turned around and said, what's that? Go home, Jim,
So South Carolina was already telling him to go home,

(00:47):
and now finally he has no home. Well, he does
have a home, but it's not at CNN.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
He decided, I mean, let's give him credit. I mean,
CNN truck offered him an opportunity to stay with the
network instead of doing your ten am show, though you'll
be starting at midnight, and that was too big of
a demotion for the very proud Jim Acosta, who will
be very proudly standing in the unemployment line.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Now I think he actually quoted Ron Burgundy. I'm too
big to know this, but I'm actually a pretty big
deal he was.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
There was a time when Jim Acosta carried some weight
at CNN. That time has come and gone. Donald Trump
has accomplished in seven days some of the most incredible things.
And I mean you can talk about turned the water
on in California last night. That's unbelievable. Ending federal aid

(01:43):
right now, we got a freeze going on that. I mean,
there's so many things that he's accomplishing, but some of
them are kind of like under the radar, Like he
is making journalism great again. And you could take this
back to just even conservatives in general. You know, you
saw we were talking about what Ja d Vance did
over the weekend. He may have just ended whatever her
name career was. Yeah, I don't care, Margaret, that's what

(02:05):
he said. And now that's a meme. You can just
say that to anything. I don't care, Margaret, and people
understand what you're referencing. But take it back to vivike Ramaswami.
We had vivike Ramaswami on this podcast the day after
Don Lehman was fired at CNN for getting into an
argument with Vivike Ramaswami because Viveke was calling them out

(02:27):
on his BS about Black History Month. What Don Lehman
was saying was a lie. Viveke called them out on
the lie. It got heated, and CNN had had enough
even in twenty twenty three and fired him. There's a
long laundry list here now of journalists that are getting

(02:47):
popped or demoted because they get themselves entangled in arguments
with conservative politicians and it's not going the way they
thought it was going to go.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Or just on the other side, they have played their hand,
made all these accusations that obviously and plainly and painfully
plainfully or not true. So now you've got overpaid. I
don't know what our salary is now. Overpaid people like
Rachel Maddow who is having to come back in and
work five nights a week for the first one hundred days,

(03:17):
as they send Alex Wagner out on the road, I
guess to get a daily Trump temperature. So they're taking
all the issues of Trump and the new design Democrat
playbook is don't focus on just the noise. Forget about
the noise. Let's just focus on Donald Trump's big issues.
A big issue is deportation of citizens who have done

(03:41):
nothing wrong. They haven't committed crimes here or in their
home countries. They're being swept up now by this madman,
Tom Holman. And look what's happening. They're going into elementary schools.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Wow, if you make that statement, you're a liar. You're
not a news person.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I loved it when Homan came on yesterday and he
called out the principal. I forgot that guy's name. I
wish I had it in front him because I want
to give him full credit. He was like, Yeah, that
dude's a liar, and he's plainly lying to the American people.
The Secret Service went in because there was a threat
to the school. They identified themselves, they showed them their badges,
and they knew, they even knew before the guys showed

(04:22):
up they were coming. Those were not Ice agents. So
he's a liar. And then Pritzker is nothing. But you know,
I forgot what he called him. But Pritzker is going
out there defending his residence. So we're going to see
how this continues to play out in these states where
these Democrats continue to push back on Donald Trump because

(04:43):
these persons, Kelly are here with full authorization by the
Biden administration. Let's talk about the Venezuelans. Let's talk about
the Haitians.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
They've all been vetted.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
They were all vetted, all vetted.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
No, they weren't.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
They have a temporary status. I love that you're arguing
that they have a temporary status. Guess what the new sheriff,
the new tarift sheriff sent out Temporary is over and
the tariff sheriff says, no more temporary. And then he's
the Colombian president yesterday. Uh but his fierce opposition that

(05:17):
quickly turned into I'll pick him up with my own
personal plane.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Ah well, oh, if you're going to go to Columbius.
But for you know, just talking about the media, if
does Fox News, I don't watch it. Do they still
use the phrase we report you decide? Or is that
just an old phrase.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Is thrown in there every now and then, like Brett
Beers talking about.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
That, that's a phrase slogan.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
You know, they throw in a bunch of littles like that,
we report you decide is a great slogan, because that's
really what the news is supposed to be about.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Now there are people who are news commentators like Sean
Hannity or Rachel Maddow or whomever, and you know politically
which way they're going to lean. And that's more of
an entertainment based thing. And so if you're in that,
But that's not what a Costa was, that's not what
you know A lot of the Don Lemon was not
supposed to be making the news. He's supposed to be

(06:12):
reporting on the news, and that's why he got fired.
And so I love that idea of trying to get that.
We're trying to make journalism great again. We're trying to
get the journalists, even if they personally hate Donald Trump,
to just you report, you know, very fairly. Donald Trump
has ordered the removal of all immigrants who have committed

(06:35):
any crimes in the United States. Now it's up to
me to decide do I like that? Do I not
like that? Maybe you bring in a lawyer who from
the NAACP or somebody who wants to argue the point
that it's unconstitutional. Well, here here's the argument, and then
we'll hear somebody from the Trump administration. Their argument that
would be a great news show, but what you've got

(06:56):
right now is just propaganda running a muck.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
I've always thought out that we report, you decide is
probably the best positioning for misinformation and disinformation possible, because
can you imagine like, and I've never heard of, say
if Rachel Maddow last night, at the middle of her
programmer at the beginning said we report, and you decide.
All right, I'm going to listen to your entire report,
and I've already decided this is horse crap because it's

(07:23):
or it's the absence of news, because we're not reporting
on the stuff that Americans are talking about. We're talking
about on the Morning Show this morning. We're talking about
the Tuskee Eramen getting ready for Black History Month and
Donald Trump's DEI initiatives, which man we mentioned yesterday. Reverend
now Sharpton's making hey with that brother. He's having a

(07:43):
call in some workers to break in all the harvest
he's got going over here for the DEI program.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
I forgot the phrase yesterday. I remembered it last night,
so I still have it in my mind, the phrase
that Malcolm X used to describe people like Al Sharpton.
Obviously he wasn't aware of Al Sharpton in nineteen sixty
three when he died, but the phrase was Negro wranglers.
A Negro wrangler, according to Malcolm X, was somebody who

(08:11):
was and again negro was the politically correct term that
they used in the fifties and sixties. So we would
just say a black or an African American, somebody of
that race who is then brought in line by a
superior liberal white and told what to do. So Al

(08:31):
Sharpton gets his marching orders from a white rich person
who then tells him what we want the Negro race
or the Black race, or the African American race to do.
And it's your job to wrangle them up. And Al
does it, and he's paid handsomely by people like George Soros.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Previously, we've seen other great African American leaders of different
the Rainbow Coalition with Jesse Jackson. We know good and
well that one of my most hated Kennedy's, Ted Ted
Kennedy in his height Business Senator was obviously negotiating with
the Rainbow Coalition to decide what was going to be

(09:12):
the new minimum wage. We're going to make sure that
we're showing that we're doing something for the African American community,
and in doing so, we're going to make sure that
we don't overpay JFK's dad. I'm not paying for a
landslide around here. I got to use my money wisely.
Democrats have always been good about using their money wisely
when it's for a political purpose for their game. But

(09:35):
you know, the amazing thing to me is that we've
got what I'm calling dollar hawks. The dollar hawks have
come back, and this time they're all living in the
Democrat Party. It's kind of like the fact checkers coming
back now that Donald Trump's in office, the CNM fact
checkers and I have a check to see at the
fleecing of America's back on the NBC Nightly News. But

(09:56):
we've got these dollar hawks now they're starting to push hard.
The price of eggs has not come down, and you've
been an office six days. You promised you would bring
down the cost of living. What's the problem over here?
Then with Tom Homan, as we mentioned a minute ago,
with the cost of deportation, Democrats are very upset. It's

(10:17):
costing so much money and you're using these military aircraft
I mean, that's very expensive to be able to move
these persons back to their country of origin. They're talking
about eight hundred thousand dollars a day for US seventeen
to fly persons from America back to their origination, origin,

(10:38):
or country, and they're very upset about the amount of
money is costing the deport these persons. Look what that's
gonna do to the average American in their finances. Kelly,
you're supposed to be bringing down the cost of living.
You're spending money over here like a madman. And we
don't have any igs to come around and point it
out because you've fired all the supervision.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's why a lot of liberals are calling this fascism.
And Donald Trump is a dictator, as he promised on
day one. I can understand the argument. I get it.
It's not supposed to come from the media. It's supposed
to come now. Rachel Maddow is supposed to make that.
You know, people who do news talk shows are supposed

(11:20):
to make those arguments. And then Sean Hannity, not a journalist,
Sean Hannity is a blowhard, just like we are blowhards.
We look at the news and then we give you
our opinions on the news, and perhaps you appreciate it
or you hate it. That's and that's that's an interesting
part of the segment of the population. There are people

(11:40):
who listen to us or other talk you know, buwheards
that they hate us. They absolutely cannot stand us because
we couldn't be any more wrong in their opinion. And
Jonathan Rush is a great example of that. He watches
MSNBC every flip and day to say, Morning Joe is
an idiot and Mika's a dumb whatever.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
You know.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
It's like Jane, you ignorant slut from the old Seven
Night Live days. That's exactly what he does with them.
He hates them and he loves to watch them. So
the I don't know how many people are watching Morning Joe.
By the way, I was thinking about the you know,
the Jim Acostas of the world. If you're now getting
into what Donald Trump promised America was going to be,
which is a merit based economy. We are no longer

(12:24):
in the dei age. We're now in the We're now
in the merit based What you produce is what you're
going to earn. If I make more money for the
company the company will pay me more money, and if
they don't pay me more money, then I will go
to another company that's their competitor and they will pay
me more and I will make more money for them
and take some of the money from my current company.

(12:44):
That's just the way it goes. When you look at
the revenues, CNN's total revenues was down to one point
eight billion dollars. That's why they're firing everybody. MSNBC is
now down to nine hundred million. Fox News is up

(13:05):
to three point eight billion. So if you combined CNN
and MSNBC total annual revenues, you get half of what
Fox has. So that's why they're getting fired because you
didn't produce. We gave you a four year run. You
got your best shot ever to hate on Trump, and

(13:27):
it produced backwards results.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Well. One of the great things about MSNBC is that
I do enjoy and for me, it's more of a
comedic aspect, but also like to know what it is
the Democrats are using as a narrative because they get
the same talking points issued out of the DNC the
host of the programs get, just like the House members
and the Senate members. Best shows on MSNBC. If you're
going to be well on the weekends is Alex Dimwitt.

(13:52):
Alex Witt is her name? Best show ever, that's priceless.
Rachel Maddow is always good. Ari Vel she I like
ari He's actually a little too good. He takes horsecrap
and actually makes it sound like legitimate news. Now again,

(14:12):
those are not news shows. Those are opinion shows. Does
MSNBC even have a news show? I know Brett Bahreer.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Comes to face the girl with the little shoulders on
MSNBC O Dana Bash No, well, not her, but she's
one of them, I would think. But the lady who's
on right now, that's a news show. I don't know
her name. We call her Snake Anna care Anna Cabret
because she has no there's literally no shoulders. Her head
is as wide as.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Her she's as shoulderless as a as a highland, as
a highlight.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
She does serious interviews with people like this person, global
refugee president and CEO. She's interviewing her, and they're not
they're not trying to spin the news allegedly. They're trying
to give you facts. And so that's a news show
that is not actually giving you real news. That's why
they're fake news. MSNBC, Well, the.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
One thing you'd always get on CNN and MSNBC is
you get to hear long form interviews with Democrat senators
and House members, and that's where they're either floating weather
blues to see what sticks, or they're delivering the talking
points of the day, so you get you don't have
to wait to see it from the House floor or
on their Twitter feed or whatever. You can get the
long form feed of what it is they're forcing down

(15:25):
the throats of the American people. That's why this whole cost,
the whole cost of living thing is starting to be funny.
And now the cost of deportation. Now none of them
and the reason they can get away with is because
nobody on MSNBC or CNN is going to ask them, well,
you know, we realize that there's a cost to this,
but the annual cost for each person who walked across

(15:45):
the border unvetted or where they vetted, Margaret, they were vetted,
the average cost per is I forgot one of this,
fifty fifty three thousand dollars a year. Okay, for the
average person who came across the border. So we've collected
now and they keep used to who told them to
go back to the number of eleven million. They were
talking about eleven million illegal immigrants fifteen years ago. They

(16:10):
want to sell us now on the fact there's still
eleven million. There's got to be twenty five to thirty
million illegals in the country by now. So, oh yeah,
it's going to cost a lot of money to fly
them back.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
What does it cost to put them up in hotels?
What does it cost to give them free healthcare? What
does it cost to give them free internet? At How
is it possible that in the Biden administration we have
illegal aliens living in South Carolina that got free internet
when we can't get internet to the kids in the

(16:43):
rural parts of the state. Somehow we were able to
figure out how to get illegal aliens free internet. But
again South Carolina residents don't. Not only do they not
get free internet, they don't get the internet. James Lber,
you would think James Cleburn would beyond pissed about this.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
James Clyburn promised eighty million dollars to build out the
internet in this state during COVID because he was whining
over the children whose parents had to drive them to
the McDonald's parking lot so they could use the Wi Fi,
sit in the car and have a happy meal and
do their homework.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
James Clyburn should sit with Selena Gomez and cry.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Dude, there's nowhere for James Clyburn to cry now because
Fox News let go one of the most liberal hosts, Cavodo.
He's gone. Neil Cavudo is gone, and Will came would
not have any of it. But Cavudo would put James
Clyburn on and not even ask him a question, and
to give him like twenty minutes just to rant all
kind of horse crap.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Well, it's going to be very interesting because again Trump
has only been in office a week and we're seeing
a pretty massive shift in the media even in just
a week. And then yesterday you got John Fetterman goes
on the View. Now, I'm sure that the View fought
when they booked Fetterman. Well, we got a guy here

(17:57):
who's going to just be a freaking blowtorch for liberal polo.
He's like the male version of AOC. This is going
to be great for us. And then Fetterman's up there
talking about how the whole law fare against Donald Trump
was a political stunt that there was no case. They
couldn't believe it. Then he's talking about how I didn't
freak out over Donald Trump becoming the president because I've

(18:19):
met Donald Trump, I've lived under a Trump administration. He
didn't do anything wrong. I didn't necessarily agree with all
his policies. But he's not like some people call them
a dictator. There's nothing about Donald Trump that says he's
a dictator. And they're like Sonny Hosten is like my
heads exploding.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Every time I watched the view, I realized that these
these women really do not know what's going on in America.
They literally live in this bubble that we've heard about
all the time, where the elites live in this bubble.
They don't ever turn on the news. They should have
known that Fetterman has already made like fifteen or twenty
comments here in the past six months after he came

(18:56):
out of the hospital. I mean, he fully recovered. His
brain process were never better than after he came out.
I've forgot what he went in for. Wasn't a stroke,
was it. I remember he had to be in the hospital,
especially how bad he was in that debate when he
was running for the Senate seat against Oz. He couldn't
even form a sentence. This guy came out of the
hospital and started growing the consciousness. I mean, I don't

(19:17):
understand why they ever booked the guy with the shot.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Think about how liberal Pennsylvania had to have been to
elect John Fetterman, a man who, like you said, could
not form a sentence, and he'd beat Donald Trump's hand
picked candidate, which again I complained about Donald Trump picking
doctor Oz back then. There's been several of his candidates
that I've not been thrilled about. But either or you

(19:39):
would have thought that anybody who could just speak, that
was a step. You're going to elect a guy who
literally can't speak. And then then it was then we
found out that not only could he not speak, he
couldn't understand words that were being said to him. He
had to have some sort of for some reason, his
brain could only read words and understand them, so they

(20:02):
had to have and that was broke by some NBC
reporter I think, who said, we had to put up
a teleprompter that would translate my words and he would
have to read it, and then we were supposed to
edit the interview, so it looked like he was responding
to what I said, but in reality it was like
thirty seconds later.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Well, I know that that's a thing, and I'm glad
that he was able to recover from that, because that's
pretty devastating for a diagnosis. And again I don't know
what he was diagnosed with, but nonetheless he's really come
out of that procedure and that treatment to be one
of the more moderate Democrats. You're going to have an
opportunity to bump into now. I mean, you might show
up to the inauguration wearing a hoodie in shorts.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
I'm just saying he won an election over somebody. That
shows you how liberal Pennsylvania was four years ago. Donald
Trump just crushed it in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is as red
as you can get right now. The whole country is
gone red.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, they decided the first and foremost on CNN and MSNBC.
They got to put the cross here is on RFK Junior.
They're letting Telsea Gabbert slide for the moment. They got
to focus on this. Now they're going to convince you
that there are two pandemics that will grow into another
COVID threat worldwide. And I've forgotten what one of them's
the bird flew and then the other one just popped

(21:20):
up the other day. There's two different areas of the
country where this is because of RFK Junior and because
of Donald Trump not only now backing out of the
World Health Organization. And they said one of the reports
yesterday was without America's money, the World Health Organization will crumble,
and they were literally crying, almost like Selena Gomez, but

(21:40):
they were crying over that, and I was applaud I
stood and applauded, thank god, the World Health Organization may
actually fall around our ankles.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Everybody's getting in line. I mean everybody is getting in
line because Donald Trump, you have now arrived at the
find out portion of the relationship. You've already done the FA.
Now we're at the FO.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
And I don't know if you actually said there. That
was a pretty good name, and maybe it was a
poster somebody put behind you. But the Donald Trump a
FAFO is actually becoming a hotter phrase now, I think
than the goat. In to the new Golden era, the
FAFO Trump administer. There's a new tariff sheriff in town
and his name is Donald J. Trump.
