Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jonathan Rush, please allow me, friends to digress for a moment.
Who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago,
the one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo
during the.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Earthquake, Kelly Nash, everybody's.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Asking me what you've been thinking about these days? Well,
Jonathan and Kelly Show, sitting around drinking wine and watching
videos on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
The Kamala Harris comedy.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
To her continues, good lord, I'm sure her handlers were
thinking she's doing so good, and then she good lord. Yeah,
another reminder of the of it's not a bullet, it's
the cannon blast. It's not since the Revolutionary War. If
you've ever been to a demonstration in Canden, South Carolina,
where you saw the what are your grape clusters? Okay,

(00:51):
the grape clusters. We we dodged a grape cluster of
Democrat administration. If she had gone in for four years
following Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I mean, I appreciate Donald Trump pointing out that she
was the borders are that is your borders are? We are?
We will be cleaning up, not just for his entire presidency, sure,
probably for the rest of our lives. The mess just
created over that four year.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
If the ACLU has anything to do with it, it
will take you six months per twenty million, that's a
lot of time, Kelly and a court of law. Think
we'll have a backlog, I lay elections. Will these people
vote him before before they finally had their first court appearance?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
There is some business. I wish I knew where this was,
but it's on Twitter right now. If you skipped the
due process coming in, you don't get the due process
going out. That's their sign right now from waiting on
the Supreme Court to rule that. But the ACLU has
got it. I'm glad some of the illegals, apparently they
came in have an education because they've they've lost. You're

(02:00):
up over at the Acou and they're battling for you.
AOC's out there reminding you, we didn't bust our ass
over here for four years. We didn't bust our ass
over here for four years to turn a blind eye
to open the gates of the southern border to bring
in twenty million Democrat voters just to have you process
them out, fly them out and ship them down to

(02:22):
El Salvador. Hell no, you know, and there's like a
little caveat that I think needs to be added to
that because when Trump talks about it and a lot
of Republicans, they just mentioned the open border policy. But
as every talk show has to say, but it's even
worse because we had an app where you could just

(02:43):
request a free Flight's right, I'm an illegal alien. I'd
like to be flown to America and we will be
right there. It's like a free uber driver.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yes it was.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
You wouldn't even offer a free uber driver air to
somebody in America.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Aaron Biden was flying a man in a their ies
is flying them out?

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Well that's the I mean, I hope Why did we
not have to check anything on them before they got
on the flight to come in?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Never checked the damn thing. By the way, a reminder
you have six days to get your real idea or
you won't be able to get on a domestic flight
unless you're an illegal.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I'm wondering will there be I know most of the
mainstream media would never even consider this, but maybe maybe
an oaan, a Newsmax, a Fox News somebody will find
They'll go through the transcripts of all those people on
those flights, and we're gonna find I'm almost certain of
it that of the hundreds of flights that Team Biden

(03:35):
paid for, at least one of those passengers is a
known terrorist, A known terrorist that was on a watch list,
was flown into America by the taxpayer just to.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Get here, to get a manifest of all the people
that flew in, just because they put up an app
and had you sign up, and we had to use
your identification to get on. You think that information has
already been smashed with the Hillary Clinton ammor.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Look, I'm not talking about Colonel Jessup. I'm talking about
Joe Biden. He don't know how to side step a
couple of landmines.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Besides steps, but only when he craps his pants. That's true,
all right. So we've got we got all that going
on now. The Michelle Obama dust up yesterday when she
inarticulately was speaking with her brother about fighting for emmigrant rights,
and her concern is what keeps her up at night?
Is it Americans? Any person of color.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's persons of color.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yes, any person of color who is an American citizen
even will be swept up and then shipped off to
El Salvador and put into a prison where they boast
you can never get out. It's Hotel California. You can't
even check out?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Can I check in?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
They handle that for you. Anyway, she inarticulately with stating
and during the course of it all, she was referencing
her brother when she said speaking as a man of color,
and people just jumped all over that that she had
admitted that she's a dude. No, that she's just in

(05:06):
artfully conversing on a podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, and by the way, iHeart would like me to
point out that's on the Jay Shetty podcast available on
the iHeartRadio app where he interviews celebrities, and she's apparently
a very big one because she points out in there,
I'm not concerned about myself. I have a four car
motorcade and I'm Michelle Obama. I'm Michelle Obama. Yeah, but
she is worried about the shit out of me. Yeah,

(05:31):
she's but she is worried about her daughters, who are
what'd she say, somewhat recognizable.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
They edit myself again tonight.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
And yeah, she's afraid that they could be deported. By
the way, speaking of deportations, JOHNA that I find this
hysterical that this morning. Did this happen this morning or
Reuters is just reporting it now? Okay, they reported it
yesterday at four four pm in the afternoon. So in

(06:00):
a Texas prison right now, in the prison yard, there
are members of how do we say it, trend de Aguada.
The members that are currently incarcerated in trend de Agua
in a Texas prison have joined hands and formed from

(06:24):
the air. You can see what they have formed, which
is a giant so os. This is their plea, we're
in distress here that you could be deporting us to
El Salvador, do not. We just want to serve our
time in Texas. I bet you do. That's hysterical.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
And Jao is not even going to be making you
walk the damn highways picking up trash in a pink jumpsuit,
but you would gladly take that.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Who amongst us has a bleeding heart for members of
trend to Agua.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Kamala, Michelle aoc all of the ACLU. The list goes
on and on. Dan Goldman, I.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Saw a very funny video, by the way, this morning.
I don't know who the comedian is. He is a
comedian and he's talking like in broken English. Yeah, and
he's got like these weird glasses on and stuff, and
he's like, there's a lot of confusion about the two
that I have and the first one. And it's like
a gang banger, like all tatted it up. He goes,
this is a member of the trend the Agua. Okay,

(07:25):
that's a violent gang. Kill a lot of people, bad people.
This is trends the Agua. This is the guy who
became a woman so he could win competitions. He got,
he got the peppinoughs, trends the Agua. He liked to
get into the water.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
That's crazy. Oh did you hear your buddy Dan Goleman,
how old.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, we gotta get that article twenty five up and
running here. You gotta get rid of him. He's insane.
He doesn't even know what's he doesn't know the difference.
He doesn't even know what a a deficit is, a
trade deficits.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Talking to people at the Securities in his change commission
and they say none of what he's saying is actually
in reality. He's lost his ability to cognitively direct the
affairs of the Oval Office.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
It's gone we've lost Donald Trump. Donald Trump is falling.
He's lost. He doesn't he doesn't know what a trade
deficit is. No, he doesn't know what photoshop means. He doesn't.
He doesn't know anything. Apparently. Now it's interesting that Dan
and by the way, Hakeem Jefferies had to rush to
his social media account and post his video. And it

(08:33):
was funny because as he was trying to get to
the part about lost cognitive abilities, Yeah, he lost his
train of thought.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
So anyway, like Danny Bonaducci doing a commercial on Radio one,
are those memory supplements and he couldn't remember the name
of the supplement.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's awesome, that is awesome.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
But anyway, I went back and I literally thirty seconds.
You can have you just google the twenty fifth Amendment
Trump nineteen ninety or excuse me, twenty nineteen. You will
see a long litany of movement that happened in twenty nineteen.
Obviously twenty twenty. They wanted to use the twenty fifth

(09:16):
Amendment to get him out because he suggested that we
all drink bleach. He's obviously he's lost. I saw the
University of Colorado had a professor author a piece in
twenty nineteen saying that Donald Trump has shown he was
There was an article, excuse me, there was an op
ed piece in September of twenty eighteen in the New
York Times, and your good friend Jamie Raskin disgusted on

(09:39):
the floor of the House that an unnamed high rank
I love that an unnamed high ranking Trump official has
written an op ed piece saying that members of the
cabinet are already discussing amongst themselves should we implement the
twenty fifth Amendment to get rid of Donald Trump. These

(09:59):
are his inner circle. And by the way, I wouldn't
say that that was wrong, because the inner circle of
Donald Trump back in twenty eighteen was filled with a
bunch of swamp creatures. Yes, we had to get rid
of I mean, it was a disaster, but they so
we've already discussed this whole Donald Trump is cognitively not
capable of handling the office. We talked about it in

(10:20):
twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. We just went through
a two year election cycle where the people said we
like the way he thinks, we want the way he thinks.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
They literally by their own description of their own conversations
broadcast today have brought out the same arguments they brought
out in twenty seventeen about his first one hundred days.
They're bringing out the same arguments. Now, Kamala plainly described
exactly what kind of chaos we're looking at here?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Is this when she was talking about the elephants in
the zoo.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
No, that was the rest of the stuff that was
on the prompter that she was able to read. And
I got to tell you something, I think she's a
pretty good reader. Is now when she stays she's like
Barack Obama. When she stays on the prompter, she's pretty good. Okay,
Barack Obama comes out the prompter, he hemns and hawes
and uh uh uh uh forever haman and han. Yeah,

(11:10):
it's like Pelosi going through a mental reset. So we
how did you enjoy the cabinet meeting yesterday? And Culture
apparently took exception to which you can we do without
the Kim Jong ung worship? That's pretty funny, lit you know, look.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Are they over exaggerating their admiration for the president? Possibly?
He seems to respond favorably to that type of chit chat.
So if you're trying to suck up to the boss.
This guy, Donald Trump likes to be sucked up to.
We all see it.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
In the middle of it. I could only see Richard
gear in the movie with ju Andy Robert.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
What was it called, Richard go oh, pretty woman.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Pretty woman. Yeah. I want to see some serious butt kissing.
That's what I'm I want to see some We're going
to spend a lot of here. I want to see
some serious butt can.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
But you know, I also think that every one of
those people genuinely believe in the mission that Donald Trump
has set the course on totally.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
They're not trying to embolden the president. They are speaking
and their emboldened position. Yes, yeah, Tom Holman ain't he
ain't kidding.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I don't think Tom Holman would kiss anyone's arse.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
No, But when you hear when you hear Christy nomspeak,
you know, I don't think she's just saying it to
give lip service. They're excited about the job description they
were handed and they're going to do it. Yes, so hooray, hooray.
Now I did hear the answer to my question, and
I opposed yesterday killing it. I know you'll be sad

(12:45):
to know this, Okay, well, you won't miss it because
you don't ever watch And to be honest with you,
I don't watch it at nine o'clock, only watch it
at four o'clock in the morning when they repeat it.
Rachel Maddow, she's been covering the first one hundred days,
right she is? Last night was her last one one
hundred day broadcast. Now she'll only be coming back on Monday.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Oh, so's she's calling it off?

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Now? Yeah? I mean she was only going to be
there for the first one hundred day.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
She's like Elon Musk, Yes, just there for the first
shold MSNBC employee.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
So imagine the tears strolling down my face as I'm
driving into work this morning. And the only thing that
stopped the flow, which was nearly fire hydrant quality and quantity.
The only thing that stopped the flow was when she
teased tonight's nine pm broadcast, which is going to feature
Stephanie Rule, the big hearted crookeet smile girl. Oh yeah,

(13:40):
who refuses to wear any dress with sleeves and the
little bat wings are not becoming so Stephanie Rule and
I've forgotten Anderson Cooper. Possibly they are hosting with Hachem
and a lot of big thinking Democrats, a town hall
on the chaos that is the first one hundred day.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
It's just chaos. How does the country survive another one
hundred days?

Speaker 2 (14:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Well, they're gonna make it as.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Bad as possible, all right, So all that begins tonight
at nine. Now I may tune over and watch it
at nine o'clock, especially if Hannity's got stephen A. Smith scheduled.
I can't handle another stephen A Smith Sean Hannity conversation.
I've actually a worship club has got to come to
an end.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I've actually never watched one of their love affairs they
talked about.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Oh, it's worse than watching the view, which is like
a little bit like watching being in a chicken shed
at sunrise. I mean, they're just talking all over themselves,
and it's just this mutual admiration society, the ass kissing
of which you haven't seen since yesterday's cabinet meeting. And

(14:54):
then Trump would down the hallway and introduced like ten
guys who are gonna be build like forty billion dollar
plants here. But you know, the Sabrialdea of it is
is that with all the influx and all the capital
investment that's coming in from around the world. You're not
going to be able to see unless we can get
Elon Musk to somehow use the three day printer so

(15:16):
we can throw up a one hundred and ninety thousand
square foot Honda manufacturing plant in Indiana over the course
of three days. You're not going to see the kind
of impact we need to see as quickly enough to
reach the midterms, which will be here in a flash.
And now, obviously we've got a lot of people, and
Brett Behar did an interview with one of the guys.

(15:37):
I think he's heading it up all the staff that
is holding the meetings with all these countries to renegotiate
their trade deals. And Brettbear took us to some building
in DC that I had never heard of, but he's
giving us a little tour of DC. Brettbear himself flying
today to South Carolina with JD. Vance to go to

(15:58):
New Core. I'm pretty sure that going to be going,
they said Charleston. I'm pretty sure they go'll be going
to the newly expanded Somerville plant that they finished up
what a year ago, Newcorp built an incredible addition to
what they already had in Somerville now for even yet
more employment. So they'll be talking with JD. Vance. JD.

(16:20):
Brett Barrow be there tonight at six from Charleston or Somerville,
South Carolina.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, I saw an op ed piece. I didn't actually
click on it, but it was like, while here JD.
Vance really needs to visit Charleston and here's why. So
apparently he's not even really going to go to Charleston.
He's supposed to just go out to It's and it's
not Summerville. It's like it's the steel thing is like
in the middle of nowhere. It's in Berkeley County. It's
it's like when you look at on the map, it's

(16:47):
like ten miles from anything. So apparently that's where they're
going and it'll.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Fly into Shaw Air Force Base. Oh, that would be
interesting to a stop there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
I'm wondering how Pam Bondi's feeling today when she got
the news that the firebomber of the Tesla dealership got out.
And I'm just reading the judge is ruling here. Judge
Jessica Hedges has released Owen McIntyre, age nineteen after video
showed Owen throwing two molotov cocktails into the Missouri Tesla

(17:21):
dealership last month, causing approximately three hundred thousand dollars in damages.
And here's the reason. I mean, it's a great reason.
Hedges said that Owen is suffering from serious and ongoing
medical needs, including gender affirming medical care. So Owen is

(17:44):
transitioning I guess into Owen or is Owen I can't
figure out because it looks kind of like a female here.
I can't tell if Owen is becoming a female or
if it was you know, like a Rebecca becoming and Owen. Anyway,
Owen also is on the autism spectrum, also has ADHD

(18:07):
and is depressed. So because of that, it would be
immoral for us to keep Owen in prison.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
It could be his first period.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
So I I just I am just baffled as to
if if you can just simply say I'm sorry, I'm
transitioning or I'm on the autism spectrum or I'm depressed
or whatever, you just spit this out and you don't
have to go to prison, Like then, then why aren't

(18:40):
you all just doing whatever the hell you want? Oh?
I guess you are. We can I guess you are
whatever the hell you want. So what. And by the way,
this judge, Judge Jessica Hodges, was appointed by Joe Biden
in twenty twenty four, overruled the US attorneys in the
Western District of Missouri who claimed that the terrorism related
charges are warranted, that this person is a public safety threat.

(19:03):
You don't say they're walking around with molotov cocktails blowing
up car dealerships. Of course they're a public safety threat. Well, no, no,
because they're depressed and they're not sure of their gender.
So you got to let them go now. This Foreord
Caam BONDI is gonna freaking hit the roof today.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Hey. In South Carolina, the State House Republicans they're trying
again with a new income tax plan that will benefit
most taxpayers, they say.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
But doesn't it punish the poor. That's what we're always
trying for, punish the poor.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
State House Republicans who faced a massive backlash when they
introduce their income tax plan earlier. And there several of
them that have been introduced. Certainly, we're not going to
break down all of them here. We'll just give it
the headlights and the comparison of the versions that are
still yet to be debated. They say they fix the
problem with a new version headed to the House floor.
The latest draft provides a path for an eventual zero

(19:58):
percent income tax rate that will immediately lead to a
tax cut for the majority of the state's tax payers,
But the proposal will also cut hundreds of millions of
dollars in revenue from the state's budget. This is going
to cost the state money, placing the cost of essential
services on the hope that the state will continue grow
to grow in corporate income taxes and sales taxes at

(20:22):
a time when the US faces choppy economic waters.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
So now's not the time.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Now is not the time, and your promises of the
state being able to continue to grow economically plainly are
going to face some serious headwinds. So forty five percent
of all state revenues are derived from income taxes now,
So what happens is is that the higher wage earners,
the top pay a top rate of six point three

(20:49):
percent under the current system, while middle class earners pay
three percent. Were six point three or six point two,
it says six point three, we're supposed to go to
six point two. Right now, we're still at six point.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Interesting Department of Revenue. It says the twenty twenty four
tax here was six point two.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Oh sorry, all right, while middle class earners pay three percent,
the lowest income earners pay nothing. Critics of the current
three tier system argue that's created the situation of the
state's wealthiest earners pay for a disproportionate share of the
public services, leaving South Carolina's topic M tax rate uncompetitive
with other states. We've talked about that before, repeatedly, at nauseum.

(21:27):
Earlier in the twenty twenty five session, lawmakers proposed as
flat single rate of three point nine to nine percent. Now,
that plan collapsed on fiscal analys analysis showed that it
would result in hundreds of dollars of extra taxes on
nearly two thirds of the state tax payers. And that
is when Banister heard the outcry.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
What's his first name against not Roger, Bruce, that's right,
Bruce Banister.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah, lawmakers went back to the drawing board and they
shifted the rate the top tier income eventually set the
they at about one point nine percent. The critics of
that plan started screaming into the streets. That's when Houseways
Committee Chairman Bruce Banister said it was a necessary response
given the criticism that they faced earlier about raising taxes

(22:17):
on bottom tiered earners. Here's the quote. Okay, the critics
were a lot louder than I expected, Banister told reporters.
So when you have persistence like that, you have to
back up and find a different path.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Why so, it's kind of again, we have to go
back to a few good men. You object, you get
it on the record. But apparently in South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
If you strenuously.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Eject, then the Republican Party collapses and goes, oh my god.
They're really upset about this.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Critics of the flat taxes argue that taxes are regressive
in nature while all taxpayers are paid the same rate.
Left Leaning Economist and it's highlighted and it's clickable in
the article by the posting curry you're online support progressive
tax structures designed to ensure higher tax rates are paid
by those who can more easily afford to pay them,

(23:16):
like Kelly Nash.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Okay, well, and I always find it ironic that people
who make it. Just so we know, the top rate
in South Carolina currently at six point two. You're a
high income earner in this state. If you annually bring
in more than seventeen eight hundred and thirty dollars, that's all.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
We couldn't figure out what we read to the plan
to begin with, when was talking about it raised all
this on two thirds of the South Carolina taxpayers, when
plainly that okay, I'm not going to go back. We're
not going to go back and re litigate that. Now
if you're got.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
A new one, if you're in the middle class, I guess,
or the lower income earners. I'm not sure how to
put it, because the top earners are considered at seventeen thousand,
eight hundred and thirty dollars a year. If you make
less than seventeen thousand, eight hundred and thirty dollars a year,
but more than three thousand, five hundred and sixty dollars
a year, then you're paying three percent currently, and the

(24:16):
first three thousand, five hundred and sixty dollars is zero
percent for everybody. So even if you made a million dollars,
the first thirty five sixty that you make, you don't
have to pay any income tax on that. Then it
goes to three percent up to the seventeen eight thirty
and then after seventeen eight thirty. We're currently paying six
point two, So we want to bring that six point
two down. We want to bring it down for everybody

(24:37):
to zero, which somehow punishes the poor. How does that
punish the poor? Again, if you're paying zero and I'm
paying zero, it punishes you because you're poor and I'm rich.
How are you punished if you're paying.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Nothing cause you had more money to spend and you
didn't on taxes. So what they came up with was
a plan that would actually lower tax for most while
minimizing Now why listen to this carefully minimizing negative impacts
on the lower income residents. Okay, so they're admitting here, oh.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
This is the left leaning economists.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
No, no, no, no, this is this is the conservative
They're going to minimize it. They're going to minimize it.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Under the new proposal, the first thirty thousand dollars in
residence taxable income will be taxed at one point nine
to nine percent.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
So we just went to thirty five sixty? Is that
what they're saying?

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Under the new proposal, the first thirty thousand.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Dollars, oh thirty grand taxable.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Income will be at one point nine nine percent.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Well, hell, that's a huge break for everybody.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
With every dollar after that, a tax rate will be
five point thirty nine percent.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Which is still a huge break for everybody.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Assuming the state's population and economy continues to grow at
current rates, which we know at won't under Trump. The
top rate will reduce by approximately point two percent each year.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
But if it doesn't grow, then it just locked in.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
It's just locked in.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Okay. Sounds great to me so far.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Unlike the previous proposal, the legislation would also result in
fewer residents paying more taxes.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Fewer residents pay more taxes, that's right.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Under the revised plan, forty two percent of residents would
see a decrease in their first year, okay, definitely. One
third of residents would see no change okay. While the
residents in the lower six figure range and at the
lowest income levels would pay more, the increases would be modest,

(26:33):
with an average increase of less than fifty dollars per
year for the year for earners making less than thirty
thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
All right, so I'm trying to run the numbers of
my head ballpark. So right now, if I'm making up
to seventeen thousand dollars over three thousand, I'm paying three
percent interest or three percent tax, And you're saying by
lowering that to one point nine. Is that what you said? Yes,

(27:02):
that somehow I'm paying more, that's what they're saying. I
guess the only people they could be talking about. So
I'm going to take if you're making under seventeen thousand dollars,
you're not in this equation because you just got a
tax cut. So we're gonna go above seventeen thousand. So
now we're talking about seventeen thousand to a billion. You're
gonna pay six point two currently, and we're lowering it

(27:23):
to one point nine. And yet somehow there's an equation
where if I'm making say twenty five thousand dollars a year,
somehow I was already paying three percent on the first
seventeen thousand. Yep, it's at one point nine, and then
I was paying six point two over seventeen thousand, and
that's still at one point nine up to thirty thousand,

(27:45):
and yet I'm somehow paying more money. How in the
flip did the economists run that number?

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Now here's the thing we would call doctor Joey. But
doctor Joey would say you, I don't have just time
to while away the hour on proposals. I only do
studies on actual wall.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
The only conceivable I can't conceive of anyway that I'm
paying more money if the top text rate goes from
six point two to what is it, three point something
three point ninety nine, basically four percent, So I'm paying
four percent instead of six point two percent, and I
get it at the lower rate all the way up

(28:23):
to thirty grand instead of seventeen grand. That's right. And
we're bringing in four hundred million dollars a year less,
and yet I'm somehow punishing some segment of society fifty
dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Now, Kelly, I'm not. I don't for one second. I
took one semester of accounting, okay, one semester. I do
not do Excel spreadsheets. Well, I may have just demonstrated
that during this podcast at something doesn't bother me at all,
because none of this means until we go back. Now,
can the here's the question, can the State House Republicans

(28:59):
in the House. Can the Republicans put up with the
noise as they try because they're like a small child.
They're very frightened by loud noises. So if the protesters
follow the left landing economists and the posting Courier and
rush to the streets banging wooden spoons on pots, would

(29:19):
that send the Republicans scurrying like cockroaches.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
I have a fundraising opportunity that might help us all.
If we could just invest in headphones for our Republicans
so that then when they're walking around they don't hear anything.
They got the noise canceling headphones.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
You better get it before tomorrow because tomorrow is National
Rhino Day.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
We're trying to save the rhinos. Is that what we're
doing
