Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Jonathan and Kelly Show. Jonathan Rush, both
sides on the reciprocal tariffs will move their terriffs down
one and fifteen percent. Kelly Nash.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
There's a mayor of the largest city in New Jersey,
three members of Congress, over twenty armed agents and additional
Ice officials there.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
The Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
What a contrasted a weekend for the Democrats and the Republicans.
If you want to hold them up side by side.
On the Republican side, you got Bessett with his report
back from Switzerland or Sweden. They were in Switzerland, Yeah,
for the first talks with China, and you've already heard
about that by now, have you.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It seems like it's been kind of silent on the
mainstream media. I mean, if you're not a Fox News
Newsmax co Moarning Joe had Bessing on for a minute,
acted like it wasn't a big deal and just moved along.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
And then you contrast that with the negotiations from House
members and the mayor of was it Newark, New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
We're wre at New Jersey, mister uh, what's his name? Baraka?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
They're trying to break out a bunch of pedophiles to
release back into the streets of the community.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
They're there to serve New Jerseyans.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, I mean they wanted to get arrested. Baraka wanted
to be arrested. He got arrested on Friday because he
went inside to the Ice Detention Center, which he is
not allowed inside of. It's only for the federal officials,
so three congress people were allowed in. He snuck in
as part of the entourage. Once he was recognized, they arrested.
At first, they warned him, you gotta leave. He said no.
(01:32):
They said again, you gotta leave.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
He said no.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
He said okay, well we're going to arrest you then.
And then when they brought him back outside to put
the cuffs on them, that's when the three Democrats went
nuts and started hugging on them, like you can't touch him,
you can't touch us. You're not a sanctuary body. They're
going to touch you. They're going to get you off
of him.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So those are the contrast and who's fighting for who? Now,
you're right, MSNBC this morning did gloss past even though
they had alive and with Scott Bessen, they glossed past
it But this is what I learned first thing in
the morning at five o'clock on MSNBC. The China negotiation
with Scott Bessen has reduced the reciprocal tariffs. What was
(02:14):
the total reduction one hundred and fifteen percent.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Well, we're down to a ten percent on each.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, so they reduced it by one hundred and fifteen percent.
The question is can Trump get that agreement signed? Russia
and Ukraine are now going to be in talks. The
question is will putin show up? Who cares? We're just
doing this for a photo op. Next, the last known
living hostage from Hamas is going to be released. I
(02:38):
think the question on that when I'm paraphrasing this, how
do we know it's the last remaining American hostage? And
then Cutter is going to be giving Trump a Jumbo
seven thirty seven is the new Air Force one. And
the question is is Trump negotiating for America or for
his family?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well, just so we're clear, Donald Trump is accepting the gift. This,
in my opinion now, is an insult to Boeing. It's
to mock Boeing because when Donald Trump was the president
in twenty nineteen, he placed in order for the new
Air Force One. We're still waiting. It's six flipping years later.
(03:16):
Boeing has been unable to produce it.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Bowie would probably say Trump got the dis kind of price,
so you got to be bumped down the priority list.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well, he got a new and improved one from Cutter
or Qatar, depending on how you want to pronounce it.
And he is going to accept it as a gift,
and it's going to be retrofitted to have all the
security protections that the Air Force one needs. And then
it's not going into his personal possession. That's what people
keep saying. He's going to keep it. He says it's
(03:42):
going to his presidential library, and people are like, nobody's
ever done that. I was just looking at the Ronald
Reagan Presidential Library. Not only does he have his Air
Force One, He's got tanks, helicopters, fighter jets. There's like
a gazillion dollars worth of outdated equipment at the Reagan Memorial.
Clinton's got similar stuff. Look, that's common place.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So then Kennedy have one, because I know that first
Lady Kennedy actually picked out the colors.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Didn't she?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I believe she did so. And when you look at
the UH press, the White House press release yesterday regarding
the China deal. Basically they're saying it's done, like this
is done.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
They're not she went look elevatory, she wentn't buying it,
Ali Vitteri, whatever name is, she wasn't buying it. You
don't have a signed contract.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Well, and again this is one of those things where
they want to play little word games and say, like
the deal with the UK is not done because they
don't have every single segment of what are you going
to charge for scooters, what are you going to charge
on condoms, what are.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You going to do?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And that's all going to be worked out over like
the next eighteen months. But they have an agreement in principle.
The news that really I'm wondering because it's just break now.
You see it up on the big screen, Donald Trump
making his announcement. How is the left going to push
back on his pharmaceutical deal today? I don't there. I'm
(05:11):
sure that they're going to groc and chat GPT. How
can we be against this because there's no there's nobody
in the world who could be well, nobody in America
who could be against this deal. Nothing that I'm aware of.
I don't know how you'd be against it. Joe Biden
made an entire four year campaign of bringing down your costs.
Donald Trump just made it a law. We have to
(05:32):
pay the lowest in the world. Now what And in
case you don't know what that means, how he's doing it.
He's saying that if the drugs are to be sold
inside the United States, we have to get what's called
most favored nation pricing, meaning whatever the cheapest country is paying,
that's what our American citizens have to pay.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
He thinks he's just driving up the cost for people
in countries that can't afford it. Kelly, see the people's
lives that you're paying, You're you're putting them lives in peril.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Well, he says, right now we're paying eight to ten
times more than Canada. Are we going to kill Canadians?
It will be explained to you later today by Nicole Wallace. Okay, well,
you know what if that is the case, still okay
with it? Because we're killing Americans right now who can't
get access to the pharmaceutical drugs because they're paying thousands
and thousands and thousands of dollars. And like Trump said,
(06:27):
in his post this morning had nothing to do with
research and development. They are lying about that. He called
us the American citizens have been suckers. We have put
that in his post. For these big pharmas.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
We kept being told you, if you do that deal,
because Bernie's been bitching about this, Joe bitched about it.
But if you do that deal, then they kept saying,
we're going to lose all the research and development because
Americans are the ones that had to pay the freight
to make sure we continue to develop new drugs, which,
interestingly enough, if you can trast that what I've been
learning about with the Biden pill policy. You probably seeing
(07:02):
the TV commercials four that's an interesting piece of legislation
written by a buffoon.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I'm thinking that Donald Trump made before the end of
his administration forced them to release the cure for cancer.
He may put them all out of business. This Vauchi
gut that kept away somewhere. So but she went through
Ali Vitali, went through the laundry list of the problems
then giving you the question is at the beginning of
the program called us way too early for this, and
then she tells you that we basically haven't negotiated it
(07:32):
with China. I'm like, okay, that's win number one. Win
number two is you're going to get Ukraine and Russia
to sit down. Will Putin be there?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
We'll get a photo if you like, you can get
a selfie if you like, we'll try to get you
in the room the last known living hostage held by Hamas.
There's three wins in a row, and we're going to
get a free use of a jumbo jet for the
administration for four years. Okay, there's another win, and then
the Trump negotiating for America or for his family. And
(08:03):
then after you go through all the explanation, most of
it Kelly covered, you go back to get ready for
the first commercial break and they immediately going which at
this point I'm literally screaming on the way to work, yes, yes, yes, yes,
And they go into a promotional announcement for Morning Joe,
and all you hear is Joe Scarborough with that wrenching
(08:23):
voice of disdain. No president in American history has ever
done this before, and I'm like, exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
This is what we voted for. By the way, the
kid who is being released is I think he's to
pronounce his name Idon Alexander, who is an American. So
this is an American who's been held hostage since October
of twenty twenty three, and almost two years later, again Biden.
(08:51):
Biden didn't even attempt I mean, ask Joe Biden himself.
I bet you he would tell you personally. No, I
didn't attempt to get him out. He did not want
to interfere with what was going on in Palestine. Trump
has inserted himself in a big way and gotten an
American out, and that's fantastic news.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
We continued to pull out over the weekend, garb covered.
You could not see their face. I'm sure they we're
concerned about COVID, the protesters that were pulling off of
campuses across the country.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, they're very upset because things are not going Palestine's way.
And oh, what's her name? Greta Thunberg's back in the
news today.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Don't worry.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
She's back on a tugboat. Is she in her little
is she in her little paddle raft.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
She's standing at giving a video announcement with two other idiots,
and they're saying that they're going to push out the blockade.
They have a boat, their flotilla will go out and
push out the blockade that has been stopping humanitarian aid
from reaching the Palestinians, and so they're going to fix that.
They're also demanding that the United States and every country
in the world cut off all trade with Israel. Israel's
(09:59):
the bad guys. Palestinians are the good guys. Gret has
already done told you, and so now she's gonna fix it.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
So it's like the first demand to the university has
to best yourself of any Israeli investments. M h. And
now that's been upped as we got the protester back,
and who was the celebrated protester We arrested him again hopefully.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh the kids from Vermont or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, I've forgotten his name. That doesn't matter because he's
too ashamed to even show his face.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
So anyway, all that's going on is a contrast between
the Democrat agenda and the Republican agenda. And now the
Democrats are very upset Senator van Halen, as Kelly has
referenced him before.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Running with the devil. That's what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Senator van Halen, I'm sure is upset because now the
mayor of was it Hackensack Newark? Newark is jumping up
in the polls because he gets the he gets the well,
actually he's jumping up in the polls for the presidential run.
But I've forgotten the other Democrat who wanted to be
arrested the other way because he's already told Tom Homan
(11:02):
to come get me. But it was one on the
panel last week talking with Cash Patil. When can I
expect to be arrested? The Democrats who wanted to be arrested,
they'd get the mug shots so they could use the
same path through the White House used by djt Or.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
So they think it.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Looks like the mayor is going to get the mug shot.
Did we actually get it?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
A release much sho I have not seen a mug
shot of the Newark mayor. He was he's running for governor.
And that's why this stunt actually happened. And just so
we're clear as to what the stunt was, there's three
senator not Senator's House members who were going to what
do they call it, oversight on the Ice detention facility
(11:43):
that's in there.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
There's sworn constitutional duty, Kelly.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
The folks at Ice said, fine, we're going to let
you in in a little bit. We have to get
this bus full of detainees, we're going to call them.
Most of them are members of Trend di Agua. We
have to get them off the bus, processed and into
the facility before you can come in. So that's going
to be about an hour and a half to two hours.
(12:09):
So they're outside. While they're outside, the mayor of Newark
shows up. He's in a pissed off mood because for
the last three days he's come down and no one's
really even covered the fact that he's there. He was
there with the city fire marshal the day before handing
out these citations because they weren't allowed in to inspect
the facility. And as they were told at the time,
(12:31):
you gave us a certificate of occupancy, and we passed
the fire inspection a little over a year ago. Once
we contracted with the federal government. The federal government now
owns this property for the next fifteen years. This is
federal land.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
It's like Fort Jackson.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You do not get a chance to come on to
this property and do your little investigations anymore. This is
a federal thing, not a local Newark thing because Newark,
for those of you who don't know, is a sanctuary city,
so according to Newark can't do anything to help ICE.
The fact that ICE is now set up shop Intowark
is really pissing them off. So he came down on
(13:08):
this third day and he sees the local congress women
was two women and a man. One of them is
Robert Menendez Junior, who is Bob Goldbar, Bob's kid, and
they're all going to go in. He bum rushes the
gates with them, kind of slides in like he's one
of their assistants. Well, once he gets inside, when the
ICE agents recognizes him, said you're not allowed in here.
(13:29):
He says, I am too. I'm doing oversight. You know
you're not you're the mayor, You're not allowed as a
local official. You're not allowed in here. Nobody from the
public's allowed. Only the federal officials are allowed. So they
said you gotta leave or you're going to get arrested.
He said, I'm not leaving. They warned him, I think
three times, and then said you're going to get arrested.
You're going to get arrested. You're going to get now
(13:50):
you're under arrest. And once they put him under arrest,
they marched him out of the facility because they have
to get the handcuffs because we didn't expect to have
to handcuff any people and this little party. So they
bring him outside and now you've got the three loonies
start trying to they're fighting with Ice so they can
get separate the mayor from the Ice because they probably
(14:12):
don't want him getting arrested because that's gonna help his
cause and Laura, what we've been doing here. At one point,
the two of the two women are hugging him with
some other unnamed associate and they're all like, you can't
touch us, and you can't touch him, and the ICE
agents were like, please let him go because we were
coming in. We're coming in. And then they start yelling Antifa,
(14:34):
you're antifa, this is and so he they pull the
people off. They say, now we've been assaulted. We're going
to sue you for assaulting us. Although you're the ones
who are trying. It's like, what stop resisting, Stop resisting.
The cops will tell you that over and over again,
do not resist, Just get arrested.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Anyway they found they should have gone just they literally
should have gone ahead, and the screamed, you have to
arrest him for robbery, goes, he's stealing our glory. We
came here to get the photoshop of the handcuffs, not him.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That's right, that's right. And he apparently got arrested Friday.
They said that there was a Saturday Sunday poll and
it looks like he's bumped up like fifteen points in
the ratings. Now, the thing about that is, this is
what democrats want, you know. I take it all the
way back to the March fifteenth poll that came out
on CNN, where I forget the guy's name who does
(15:29):
the can you believe this? That guy said it was
the lowest polling numbers they had ever seen since the seventies,
And that's how long they've been doing polls on the
Democrats and just their popularity in Congress. And that's the
lowest polling numbers they've ever had. And seventy seven percent
of Democrats say that they need to do more to
(15:52):
fight against Donald Trump. And if you're a Democrat in
office and you're in twenty twenty four beginning of twenty
twenty five, and you're like, oh, we've never fought anybody
as hard as we fought Donald Trump. We have indicted
this guy over and over again. We've impeached him over
and over again.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
We've gone you factored charges in the state of New York.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
We went down and went through his wife's underwear drawer.
We have done everything we can to make this man's
life a living hell, and you, as the Democrat voter,
saying it's still not enough, not enough? How can we
fight him even more? So that's why you're seeing I
believe they saw the polling. They want violence. Basically, they
want violence against Trump and anybody in the Trump administration.
(16:36):
So they're escalating it to that level in the hopes
of winning votes.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
H when he put up apparently if this report is true,
and I haven't seen a shot of the Oval office,
but the report of a little statue of him from
Pennsylvania after the shot that nearly killed him, Okay, the
Democrats went nuts. Only dictators put up statues of themselves. Well, now,
(17:00):
if what I saw is actually true, and I have
not Google search didn't, I haven't seen a report since
I saw the headline, and I laughed out loud. I
think it was yesterday morning when I was going into church.
But I believe, I believe it's going to be one
of the things we could all buy, kind of light
the trumpet pair, but there's an actual recreation of the
moment when he raised his fist in the air. Now,
(17:22):
the Democrats, the Democrats went nuts, and the comments on
that X post was hysterical. We still have Democrats push
in the theory that he didn't even get shot because
there's no scarring, so it was all staged.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
So he had like a pro wrestler blood packet, hid
himself in the ear. Now, how did he convince the
guy to shoot and kill the guy right behind him
if somebody's dead, right, So we have a dead person
who's been shot. So we know that it was in
the general vicinity of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Ugh.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
But yes, he does have a little miniature statue which
is a replica of the nine foot statue that was
made by an artist.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So I don't know if we Butler Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I'm sure they got they gotta get the Butler gift
shop open and sell these statues. And also they want
to point out that he has a painting from that
moment as well now hanging in the Oval office. And uh.
He also, did you hear him the other day? I'm
trying to remember who he had in the Oval office,
but he said, I think it was the guy from Canada, Mark,
(18:26):
what's his name? And he said, And you're looking at that,
and I'm sure you're admiring the newly refreshed Oval office.
We got a lot more. Everything looks better with twenty
four carrot gold.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Thing is paid in gold.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
He loves gold.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I don't know who his designer is. I think you
shared one with gold, bar Bob, but go, bar Bob,
just put his.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
In the closet.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's like Liberachi. If Liberaci is a conservative, really a
little opulent, Trump's gonna start coming in in robes and stuff.
If Trump had a cruise ship, oh my gosh, who
wouldn't want to go on it?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Anyway, all of that and a contrast between the Republicans
and the Democrats and Trump. You're right, I wasn't able
to hear it. Apparently it's still going on live. You're
still talking, yeah, about the drug prices and how it's
going to impact the budget deal.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Surprisingly, he says this is the large, the most consequential
executive order in American history. Now, I think he said
that about ten of them so far, but today.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
This is the most consequential one, and I didn't This
is a seven forty seven. That's right, because it's bigger.
I thought they called that the jumbo seven thirty seven,
But I don't. I don't know much about airlines or
air air products.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I've seen drawings of what it's supposed to look like
on the inside, and I think he's going to have
to redo it because as opulent as it is, it
does seem to have and it also favors like a
Middle Eastern vibe.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Uh uh, Yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Ain't gonna go for that. He'll have it done in red,
white and blue. He'll you know what I'm saying, all right. So, now,
by the way, speaking of red, white and blue, what's
his face? Mister Wonderful? I heard him the other day
on tea and the only thing that I liked about him,
or the only moment that was memorable for me, was
they were talking about I'm sorry. It wasn't mister Wonderful.
(20:25):
It was who's that Jamie Diamond? And Jamie Diamond was
out opening a new branch of his bank in California,
and he said, you know, it's amazing to see what
the fires have done here, and blah blah blah and
so on and so forth. And he said, and it's
going to take a while for us to rebuild. And
they said, is there any way we could do it faster?
And he said, well, you know, they call it red tape.
(20:48):
If it was up to me, they'd call it blue tape,
because it's the Democrats that block everything.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's a great line, the blue tape line.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
And I did I heard him say that.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I didn't realize that's why he was there, but you know,
that's exactly. And look what happened. Even when Trump goes
out there and tells the local officials cut through the
red tape, these people they want to go home, They
want to start cleaning up on their own, they want
to start building again. It's their property.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We don't like that idea.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah, soon as he left town, they decided to change
all that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
No, we're government. We know better.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Here in South Carolina. We've got a couple of things
that are still yet to shake out, and they will
have a budget together by or certainly by the deadline
of July first. Otherwise did we shut down the state
government much like we do the federal government if we.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Don't have theterting. I mean, I don't think that's what happens.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
It might.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I don't know. We've never liked you said, we've never been.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
There, but I know that we've had. Curtis loftis on before.
We're talking about a lot of things. He trumpets for
the South Carolinians to take advantage of kind of like
the five twenty nine plan. If you've got a kid
it's going to be going to college, you'll make sure
that you're making contributions. A lot of tax benefits for that.
He also talks a lot about the unclaimed monies, and
there's actually a link from the treasurer State of South
(21:59):
care Line of Treasure's web page. But you'd have to
go on, because I've done it before. You got to
go on. You had to print off a form, you
got to fill it out, and you got to have
all the like if Sally and I had a checking
account that I had let go under and I had
like seventy five bucks in it or something, so it
was worth taking the time to do. But you got
to print it off and Sally's gotta sign, I gotta sign.
(22:20):
You got to send it in, YadA, YadA, YadA, and
the whole process would take It wouldn't take that long.
They were pretty responsive, I thought. But you had to
you had to initiate the search. Somebody in my family
just sent me a link about a month ago now
and said, hey, you got some stuff listed during the
Treasurer's Unclaimed Money's page. I've already been through that. I
(22:41):
don't know what you're talking about, but sure enough, there's
two more things. And I get I think there were
medical accounts where I was due a refund, but for
whatever reason, they forgot where I lived. They certainly don't
damn well forget when they're sending me a bill. But uh,
for whatever reason, it got tied up somewhere and it
was just sitting there in an account. So now instead
of having to go on and do all that, I
guess I can still do it. There's going to be
(23:02):
an initiative by the Treasurer Curtis Loftis to get that
money out. Just send it out. Well.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Curtis Loftus has become the Donald Trump of Palmetto politics.
He is hated by the swamp Curtis Loftis, remember, overwhelmingly
was voted to be thrown out of office by the
Republican Senate. Obviously, every Democrat here hates him, and so
they're canw saying that Curtis Loftis is attempting to bribe
(23:29):
his way using illegal money to win your favor in
order to win reelection. What he would tell you is,
I have created the Palme Metal Payback program because for
far too long, we've been running ads promoting the fact
that we have all this unclaimed money that is just
(23:50):
sitting here waiting for South Carolinians. So we have found
the ones that we absolutely are positive that this is
their money, this is where they currently and we're just
going to mail it to them. We've already tried contacting
them several times now we're just going to actually miss
So if you get a check this week, because that's
when they're going to start arriving and you're like, what
(24:11):
is this, he says, some of these checks could be
as high as a couple of thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
And I'm sure there'll be some type of wording on there.
We're signing and cashing this check, you authorize or you
fully acknowledge you are, in fact Kelly Nash and not
someone who pretends to be Kelly Nash.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
You can gain the money.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I'm sure there'll be some kind of statement there where
you actually receive the money, then you are acknowledging that
you are that person.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Torment bank accounts, stock certificates, insurance proceeds, utility deposits, and
uncast checks are what lead the way. He says. The
average check is going to be a little more than
five hundred dollars that's going back to But now again,
it's not a lot of people, I don't think, because
it's a grand total of about six hundred thousand dollars.
Is that what they're going to mail out? But this
(25:00):
has got a lot of politicians ticked off. Oh you
want to get well, yeah, I'm using their money.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh yeah, you're buying.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
You're sending out money like a stimulus Jack, Is that
what it is you think you're Joe Biden over here.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's their money. It's been sitting in our accounts, just
sitting here. We're not even allowed by law to collect
interest on it. So we're just trying to get it
back to the people who own it. And so that's
what's happening. I think it's a fantastic idea. I don't
know why it's taken this long to get to the
palmetto payback idea, because he does come on probably twice
(25:32):
a year and talks about this with us. He buys
television commercials promoting it. He'll do email campaigns, Facebook ads,
the such. But there are so many people who don't know.
And again, the majority of you are not going to
get the check back right now, the vast majoriy. There
are millions and millions and millions of dollars in these accounts,
just waiting for somebody to claim them. So you need
(25:54):
to go to the treasurer's website and put in your
name and just see what pops up.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Even if you've done it recently like I did. Because
I say recently, let's say it was four years ago. Okay,
So I went through, and you do the same thing
that most people do while you're there, you know, so
I type in my brother's name, and type in my
other brother's name, type.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Of mom and dad, mom.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You just start typing in people's names so you can
tell them, hey, you got some money over here. I
did that probably three years ago, maybe a little longer,
maybe four. I think I ended up getting like three
hundred dollars. Well, that's awesome on a couple of different
accounts that for whatever reason, had just been hanging out
there and stagnant.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
But I thought I was already all caught up.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
So when I got the text message from my brother
last week, I'm like, what, I went, looked it up.
Sure enough, there was more, even more waiting on you.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yay. That's why I got that.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I got that going for me that the pola got
going for me over Waina Munda.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
So if you go to Treasurer dot SC dot gov
on the upper right hand side and the green button,
you'll see unclaimed property. And if you click that, like
Jonathan said, you can just start putting in your name.
You can put anybody name in there, yeah, and then
just let them know, hey, I found this money here
for you.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
All right, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
So now I'm very excited to find out more about
this deal for the pharmaceuticals because that will help tremendously
a lot of.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
People, a lot of people, and like you said, it'll
probably raise prices in certain countries. But Donald Trump says
the law will be whoever is paying the lowest prices
in the world. That is what the price the United
States will pay moving forward, or you will not have
access to the US market. And I can see where
somebody might push back and say something to the extent of, well,
(27:35):
then they just won't sell that drug here. But you
have to be insane to actually believe that, because when
you look at just drugs in general, like the United
States consumes like something insane, like eighty percent of all
the drugs in the world are consumed by these three
hundred and fifty million drug addicted people.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, I think I've mentioned this before.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Next time you go into a pharmacy and you got
to pick up a prescription, look at the wall behind them,
and I'm telling you it's like looking at the end
of the first thing in Indiana Jones movie.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I mean, it's like it's like.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Thousands and thousands and thousands of prescriptions, and different pharmacies
do it different ways.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
I think CBS puts them.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
They stack them in little like folder boxes and they're
all in paper bags. And Walgreens I think has them
in plastic bags hanging on racks. But if you just
and I asked the girl, I think it was at Walgreens.
I said, is it because I'm in Forest Acres and
there are a lot of senior citizens that you have
(28:41):
so many prescriptions here to be picked up? I mean,
look at that wall and she said no, I've worked
in the CBS on broad rivers got four times this many.
Like what wow? What I mean? It is a lot,
a lot, a lot of product.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
And once the drug company has already put together through
all the research and development, you think they're not going
to sell it to you?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
They're going to penalize themselves.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
And if you.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Think that they're not going to be able to develop
more drugs because they want to sell more drugs to
you through your doctor's office, you think they're going to
penalize themselves themselves.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
You just look at the profits that these companies report,
even after all the research and development. I'm not saying
R and D is inexpensive, but you spend fifty billion
to make three hundred billion.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
What's going to be interesting is will RFK Junior actually
be able to create an FDA that has to themselves
independently test these pharmaceuticals, or do we just take the
information from the pharmaceutical company and rubber stamp it oh
No
Welcome to the Jonathan and Kelly Show. Jonathan Rush, both
sides on the reciprocal tariffs will move their terriffs down
one and fifteen percent. Kelly Nash.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
There's a mayor of the largest city in New Jersey,
three members of Congress, over twenty armed agents and additional
Ice officials there.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
The Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
What a contrasted a weekend for the Democrats and the Republicans.
If you want to hold them up side by side.
On the Republican side, you got Bessett with his report
back from Switzerland or Sweden. They were in Switzerland, Yeah,
for the first talks with China, and you've already heard
about that by now, have you.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It seems like it's been kind of silent on the
mainstream media. I mean, if you're not a Fox News
Newsmax co Moarning Joe had Bessing on for a minute,
acted like it wasn't a big deal and just moved along.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
And then you contrast that with the negotiations from House
members and the mayor of was it Newark, New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
We're wre at New Jersey, mister uh, what's his name? Baraka?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
They're trying to break out a bunch of pedophiles to
release back into the streets of the community.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
They're there to serve New Jerseyans.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, I mean they wanted to get arrested. Baraka wanted
to be arrested. He got arrested on Friday because he
went inside to the Ice Detention Center, which he is
not allowed inside of. It's only for the federal officials,
so three congress people were allowed in. He snuck in
as part of the entourage. Once he was recognized, they arrested.
At first, they warned him, you gotta leave. He said no.
(01:32):
They said again, you gotta leave.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
He said no.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
He said okay, well we're going to arrest you then.
And then when they brought him back outside to put
the cuffs on them, that's when the three Democrats went
nuts and started hugging on them, like you can't touch him,
you can't touch us. You're not a sanctuary body. They're
going to touch you. They're going to get you off
of him.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So those are the contrast and who's fighting for who? Now,
you're right, MSNBC this morning did gloss past even though
they had alive and with Scott Bessen, they glossed past
it But this is what I learned first thing in
the morning at five o'clock on MSNBC. The China negotiation
with Scott Bessen has reduced the reciprocal tariffs. What was
(02:14):
the total reduction one hundred and fifteen percent.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Well, we're down to a ten percent on each.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, so they reduced it by one hundred and fifteen percent.
The question is can Trump get that agreement signed? Russia
and Ukraine are now going to be in talks. The
question is will putin show up? Who cares? We're just
doing this for a photo op. Next, the last known
living hostage from Hamas is going to be released. I
(02:38):
think the question on that when I'm paraphrasing this, how
do we know it's the last remaining American hostage? And
then Cutter is going to be giving Trump a Jumbo
seven thirty seven is the new Air Force one. And
the question is is Trump negotiating for America or for
his family?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well, just so we're clear, Donald Trump is accepting the gift. This,
in my opinion now, is an insult to Boeing. It's
to mock Boeing because when Donald Trump was the president
in twenty nineteen, he placed in order for the new
Air Force One. We're still waiting. It's six flipping years later.
(03:16):
Boeing has been unable to produce it.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Bowie would probably say Trump got the dis kind of price,
so you got to be bumped down the priority list.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well, he got a new and improved one from Cutter
or Qatar, depending on how you want to pronounce it.
And he is going to accept it as a gift,
and it's going to be retrofitted to have all the
security protections that the Air Force one needs. And then
it's not going into his personal possession. That's what people
keep saying. He's going to keep it. He says it's
(03:42):
going to his presidential library, and people are like, nobody's
ever done that. I was just looking at the Ronald
Reagan Presidential Library. Not only does he have his Air
Force One, He's got tanks, helicopters, fighter jets. There's like
a gazillion dollars worth of outdated equipment at the Reagan Memorial.
Clinton's got similar stuff. Look, that's common place.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So then Kennedy have one, because I know that first
Lady Kennedy actually picked out the colors.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Didn't she?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I believe she did so. And when you look at
the UH press, the White House press release yesterday regarding
the China deal. Basically they're saying it's done, like this
is done.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
They're not she went look elevatory, she wentn't buying it,
Ali Vitteri, whatever name is, she wasn't buying it. You
don't have a signed contract.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Well, and again this is one of those things where
they want to play little word games and say, like
the deal with the UK is not done because they
don't have every single segment of what are you going
to charge for scooters, what are you going to charge
on condoms, what are.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You going to do?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And that's all going to be worked out over like
the next eighteen months. But they have an agreement in principle.
The news that really I'm wondering because it's just break now.
You see it up on the big screen, Donald Trump
making his announcement. How is the left going to push
back on his pharmaceutical deal today? I don't there. I'm
(05:11):
sure that they're going to groc and chat GPT. How
can we be against this because there's no there's nobody
in the world who could be well, nobody in America
who could be against this deal. Nothing that I'm aware of.
I don't know how you'd be against it. Joe Biden
made an entire four year campaign of bringing down your costs.
Donald Trump just made it a law. We have to
(05:32):
pay the lowest in the world. Now what And in
case you don't know what that means, how he's doing it.
He's saying that if the drugs are to be sold
inside the United States, we have to get what's called
most favored nation pricing, meaning whatever the cheapest country is paying,
that's what our American citizens have to pay.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
He thinks he's just driving up the cost for people
in countries that can't afford it. Kelly, see the people's
lives that you're paying, You're you're putting them lives in peril.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Well, he says, right now we're paying eight to ten
times more than Canada. Are we going to kill Canadians?
It will be explained to you later today by Nicole Wallace. Okay, well,
you know what if that is the case, still okay
with it? Because we're killing Americans right now who can't
get access to the pharmaceutical drugs because they're paying thousands
and thousands and thousands of dollars. And like Trump said,
(06:27):
in his post this morning had nothing to do with
research and development. They are lying about that. He called
us the American citizens have been suckers. We have put
that in his post. For these big pharmas.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
We kept being told you, if you do that deal,
because Bernie's been bitching about this, Joe bitched about it.
But if you do that deal, then they kept saying,
we're going to lose all the research and development because
Americans are the ones that had to pay the freight
to make sure we continue to develop new drugs, which,
interestingly enough, if you can trast that what I've been
learning about with the Biden pill policy. You probably seeing
(07:02):
the TV commercials four that's an interesting piece of legislation
written by a buffoon.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I'm thinking that Donald Trump made before the end of
his administration forced them to release the cure for cancer.
He may put them all out of business. This Vauchi
gut that kept away somewhere. So but she went through
Ali Vitali, went through the laundry list of the problems
then giving you the question is at the beginning of
the program called us way too early for this, and
then she tells you that we basically haven't negotiated it
(07:32):
with China. I'm like, okay, that's win number one. Win
number two is you're going to get Ukraine and Russia
to sit down. Will Putin be there?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
We'll get a photo if you like, you can get
a selfie if you like, we'll try to get you
in the room the last known living hostage held by Hamas.
There's three wins in a row, and we're going to
get a free use of a jumbo jet for the
administration for four years. Okay, there's another win, and then
the Trump negotiating for America or for his family. And
(08:03):
then after you go through all the explanation, most of
it Kelly covered, you go back to get ready for
the first commercial break and they immediately going which at
this point I'm literally screaming on the way to work, yes, yes, yes, yes,
And they go into a promotional announcement for Morning Joe,
and all you hear is Joe Scarborough with that wrenching
(08:23):
voice of disdain. No president in American history has ever
done this before, and I'm like, exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
This is what we voted for. By the way, the
kid who is being released is I think he's to
pronounce his name Idon Alexander, who is an American. So
this is an American who's been held hostage since October
of twenty twenty three, and almost two years later, again Biden.
(08:51):
Biden didn't even attempt I mean, ask Joe Biden himself.
I bet you he would tell you personally. No, I
didn't attempt to get him out. He did not want
to interfere with what was going on in Palestine. Trump
has inserted himself in a big way and gotten an
American out, and that's fantastic news.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
We continued to pull out over the weekend, garb covered.
You could not see their face. I'm sure they we're
concerned about COVID, the protesters that were pulling off of
campuses across the country.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, they're very upset because things are not going Palestine's way.
And oh, what's her name? Greta Thunberg's back in the
news today.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Don't worry.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
She's back on a tugboat. Is she in her little
is she in her little paddle raft.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
She's standing at giving a video announcement with two other idiots,
and they're saying that they're going to push out the blockade.
They have a boat, their flotilla will go out and
push out the blockade that has been stopping humanitarian aid
from reaching the Palestinians, and so they're going to fix that.
They're also demanding that the United States and every country
in the world cut off all trade with Israel. Israel's
(09:59):
the bad guys. Palestinians are the good guys. Gret has
already done told you, and so now she's gonna fix it.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
So it's like the first demand to the university has
to best yourself of any Israeli investments. M h. And
now that's been upped as we got the protester back,
and who was the celebrated protester We arrested him again hopefully.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh the kids from Vermont or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, I've forgotten his name. That doesn't matter because he's
too ashamed to even show his face.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
So anyway, all that's going on is a contrast between
the Democrat agenda and the Republican agenda. And now the
Democrats are very upset Senator van Halen, as Kelly has
referenced him before.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Running with the devil. That's what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Senator van Halen, I'm sure is upset because now the
mayor of was it Hackensack Newark? Newark is jumping up
in the polls because he gets the he gets the well,
actually he's jumping up in the polls for the presidential run.
But I've forgotten the other Democrat who wanted to be
arrested the other way because he's already told Tom Homan
(11:02):
to come get me. But it was one on the
panel last week talking with Cash Patil. When can I
expect to be arrested? The Democrats who wanted to be arrested,
they'd get the mug shots so they could use the
same path through the White House used by djt Or.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
So they think it.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Looks like the mayor is going to get the mug shot.
Did we actually get it?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
A release much sho I have not seen a mug
shot of the Newark mayor. He was he's running for governor.
And that's why this stunt actually happened. And just so
we're clear as to what the stunt was, there's three
senator not Senator's House members who were going to what
do they call it, oversight on the Ice detention facility
(11:43):
that's in there.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
There's sworn constitutional duty, Kelly.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
The folks at Ice said, fine, we're going to let
you in in a little bit. We have to get
this bus full of detainees, we're going to call them.
Most of them are members of Trend di Agua. We
have to get them off the bus, processed and into
the facility before you can come in. So that's going
to be about an hour and a half to two hours.
(12:09):
So they're outside. While they're outside, the mayor of Newark
shows up. He's in a pissed off mood because for
the last three days he's come down and no one's
really even covered the fact that he's there. He was
there with the city fire marshal the day before handing
out these citations because they weren't allowed in to inspect
the facility. And as they were told at the time,
(12:31):
you gave us a certificate of occupancy, and we passed
the fire inspection a little over a year ago. Once
we contracted with the federal government. The federal government now
owns this property for the next fifteen years. This is
federal land.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
It's like Fort Jackson.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You do not get a chance to come on to
this property and do your little investigations anymore. This is
a federal thing, not a local Newark thing because Newark,
for those of you who don't know, is a sanctuary city,
so according to Newark can't do anything to help ICE.
The fact that ICE is now set up shop Intowark
is really pissing them off. So he came down on
(13:08):
this third day and he sees the local congress women
was two women and a man. One of them is
Robert Menendez Junior, who is Bob Goldbar, Bob's kid, and
they're all going to go in. He bum rushes the
gates with them, kind of slides in like he's one
of their assistants. Well, once he gets inside, when the
ICE agents recognizes him, said you're not allowed in here.
(13:29):
He says, I am too. I'm doing oversight. You know
you're not you're the mayor, You're not allowed as a
local official. You're not allowed in here. Nobody from the
public's allowed. Only the federal officials are allowed. So they
said you gotta leave or you're going to get arrested.
He said, I'm not leaving. They warned him, I think
three times, and then said you're going to get arrested.
You're going to get arrested. You're going to get now
(13:50):
you're under arrest. And once they put him under arrest,
they marched him out of the facility because they have
to get the handcuffs because we didn't expect to have
to handcuff any people and this little party. So they
bring him outside and now you've got the three loonies
start trying to they're fighting with Ice so they can
get separate the mayor from the Ice because they probably
(14:12):
don't want him getting arrested because that's gonna help his
cause and Laura, what we've been doing here. At one point,
the two of the two women are hugging him with
some other unnamed associate and they're all like, you can't
touch us, and you can't touch him, and the ICE
agents were like, please let him go because we were
coming in. We're coming in. And then they start yelling Antifa,
(14:34):
you're antifa, this is and so he they pull the
people off. They say, now we've been assaulted. We're going
to sue you for assaulting us. Although you're the ones
who are trying. It's like, what stop resisting, Stop resisting.
The cops will tell you that over and over again,
do not resist, Just get arrested.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Anyway they found they should have gone just they literally
should have gone ahead, and the screamed, you have to
arrest him for robbery, goes, he's stealing our glory. We
came here to get the photoshop of the handcuffs, not him.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That's right, that's right. And he apparently got arrested Friday.
They said that there was a Saturday Sunday poll and
it looks like he's bumped up like fifteen points in
the ratings. Now, the thing about that is, this is
what democrats want, you know. I take it all the
way back to the March fifteenth poll that came out
on CNN, where I forget the guy's name who does
(15:29):
the can you believe this? That guy said it was
the lowest polling numbers they had ever seen since the seventies,
And that's how long they've been doing polls on the
Democrats and just their popularity in Congress. And that's the
lowest polling numbers they've ever had. And seventy seven percent
of Democrats say that they need to do more to
(15:52):
fight against Donald Trump. And if you're a Democrat in
office and you're in twenty twenty four beginning of twenty
twenty five, and you're like, oh, we've never fought anybody
as hard as we fought Donald Trump. We have indicted
this guy over and over again. We've impeached him over
and over again.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
We've gone you factored charges in the state of New York.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
We went down and went through his wife's underwear drawer.
We have done everything we can to make this man's
life a living hell, and you, as the Democrat voter,
saying it's still not enough, not enough? How can we
fight him even more? So that's why you're seeing I
believe they saw the polling. They want violence. Basically, they
want violence against Trump and anybody in the Trump administration.
(16:36):
So they're escalating it to that level in the hopes
of winning votes.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
H when he put up apparently if this report is true,
and I haven't seen a shot of the Oval office,
but the report of a little statue of him from
Pennsylvania after the shot that nearly killed him, Okay, the
Democrats went nuts. Only dictators put up statues of themselves. Well, now,
(17:00):
if what I saw is actually true, and I have
not Google search didn't, I haven't seen a report since
I saw the headline, and I laughed out loud. I
think it was yesterday morning when I was going into church.
But I believe, I believe it's going to be one
of the things we could all buy, kind of light
the trumpet pair, but there's an actual recreation of the
moment when he raised his fist in the air. Now,
(17:22):
the Democrats, the Democrats went nuts, and the comments on
that X post was hysterical. We still have Democrats push
in the theory that he didn't even get shot because
there's no scarring, so it was all staged.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
So he had like a pro wrestler blood packet, hid
himself in the ear. Now, how did he convince the
guy to shoot and kill the guy right behind him
if somebody's dead, right, So we have a dead person
who's been shot. So we know that it was in
the general vicinity of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Ugh.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
But yes, he does have a little miniature statue which
is a replica of the nine foot statue that was
made by an artist.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So I don't know if we Butler Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I'm sure they got they gotta get the Butler gift
shop open and sell these statues. And also they want
to point out that he has a painting from that
moment as well now hanging in the Oval office. And uh.
He also, did you hear him the other day? I'm
trying to remember who he had in the Oval office,
but he said, I think it was the guy from Canada, Mark,
(18:26):
what's his name? And he said, And you're looking at that,
and I'm sure you're admiring the newly refreshed Oval office.
We got a lot more. Everything looks better with twenty
four carrot gold.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Thing is paid in gold.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
He loves gold.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I don't know who his designer is. I think you
shared one with gold, bar Bob, but go, bar Bob,
just put his.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
In the closet.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's like Liberachi. If Liberaci is a conservative, really a
little opulent, Trump's gonna start coming in in robes and stuff.
If Trump had a cruise ship, oh my gosh, who
wouldn't want to go on it?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Anyway, all of that and a contrast between the Republicans
and the Democrats and Trump. You're right, I wasn't able
to hear it. Apparently it's still going on live. You're
still talking, yeah, about the drug prices and how it's
going to impact the budget deal.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Surprisingly, he says this is the large, the most consequential
executive order in American history. Now, I think he said
that about ten of them so far, but today.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
This is the most consequential one, and I didn't This
is a seven forty seven. That's right, because it's bigger.
I thought they called that the jumbo seven thirty seven,
But I don't. I don't know much about airlines or
air air products.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I've seen drawings of what it's supposed to look like
on the inside, and I think he's going to have
to redo it because as opulent as it is, it
does seem to have and it also favors like a
Middle Eastern vibe.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Uh uh, Yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Ain't gonna go for that. He'll have it done in red,
white and blue. He'll you know what I'm saying, all right. So, now,
by the way, speaking of red, white and blue, what's
his face? Mister Wonderful? I heard him the other day
on tea and the only thing that I liked about him,
or the only moment that was memorable for me, was
they were talking about I'm sorry. It wasn't mister Wonderful.
(20:25):
It was who's that Jamie Diamond? And Jamie Diamond was
out opening a new branch of his bank in California,
and he said, you know, it's amazing to see what
the fires have done here, and blah blah blah and
so on and so forth. And he said, and it's
going to take a while for us to rebuild. And
they said, is there any way we could do it faster?
And he said, well, you know, they call it red tape.
(20:48):
If it was up to me, they'd call it blue tape,
because it's the Democrats that block everything.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's a great line, the blue tape line.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
And I did I heard him say that.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I didn't realize that's why he was there, but you know,
that's exactly. And look what happened. Even when Trump goes
out there and tells the local officials cut through the
red tape, these people they want to go home, They
want to start cleaning up on their own, they want
to start building again. It's their property.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We don't like that idea.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah, soon as he left town, they decided to change
all that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
No, we're government. We know better.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Here in South Carolina. We've got a couple of things
that are still yet to shake out, and they will
have a budget together by or certainly by the deadline
of July first. Otherwise did we shut down the state
government much like we do the federal government if we.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Don't have theterting. I mean, I don't think that's what happens.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
It might.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I don't know. We've never liked you said, we've never been.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
There, but I know that we've had. Curtis loftis on before.
We're talking about a lot of things. He trumpets for
the South Carolinians to take advantage of kind of like
the five twenty nine plan. If you've got a kid
it's going to be going to college, you'll make sure
that you're making contributions. A lot of tax benefits for that.
He also talks a lot about the unclaimed monies, and
there's actually a link from the treasurer State of South
(21:59):
care Line of Treasure's web page. But you'd have to
go on, because I've done it before. You got to
go on. You had to print off a form, you
got to fill it out, and you got to have
all the like if Sally and I had a checking
account that I had let go under and I had
like seventy five bucks in it or something, so it
was worth taking the time to do. But you got
to print it off and Sally's gotta sign, I gotta sign.
(22:20):
You got to send it in, YadA, YadA, YadA, and
the whole process would take It wouldn't take that long.
They were pretty responsive, I thought. But you had to
you had to initiate the search. Somebody in my family
just sent me a link about a month ago now
and said, hey, you got some stuff listed during the
Treasurer's Unclaimed Money's page. I've already been through that. I
(22:41):
don't know what you're talking about, but sure enough, there's
two more things. And I get I think there were
medical accounts where I was due a refund, but for
whatever reason, they forgot where I lived. They certainly don't
damn well forget when they're sending me a bill. But uh,
for whatever reason, it got tied up somewhere and it
was just sitting there in an account. So now instead
of having to go on and do all that, I
guess I can still do it. There's going to be
(23:02):
an initiative by the Treasurer Curtis Loftis to get that
money out. Just send it out. Well.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Curtis Loftus has become the Donald Trump of Palmetto politics.
He is hated by the swamp Curtis Loftis, remember, overwhelmingly
was voted to be thrown out of office by the
Republican Senate. Obviously, every Democrat here hates him, and so
they're canw saying that Curtis Loftis is attempting to bribe
(23:29):
his way using illegal money to win your favor in
order to win reelection. What he would tell you is,
I have created the Palme Metal Payback program because for
far too long, we've been running ads promoting the fact
that we have all this unclaimed money that is just
(23:50):
sitting here waiting for South Carolinians. So we have found
the ones that we absolutely are positive that this is
their money, this is where they currently and we're just
going to mail it to them. We've already tried contacting
them several times now we're just going to actually miss
So if you get a check this week, because that's
when they're going to start arriving and you're like, what
(24:11):
is this, he says, some of these checks could be
as high as a couple of thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
And I'm sure there'll be some type of wording on there.
We're signing and cashing this check, you authorize or you
fully acknowledge you are, in fact Kelly Nash and not
someone who pretends to be Kelly Nash.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
You can gain the money.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I'm sure there'll be some kind of statement there where
you actually receive the money, then you are acknowledging that
you are that person.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Torment bank accounts, stock certificates, insurance proceeds, utility deposits, and
uncast checks are what lead the way. He says. The
average check is going to be a little more than
five hundred dollars that's going back to But now again,
it's not a lot of people, I don't think, because
it's a grand total of about six hundred thousand dollars.
Is that what they're going to mail out? But this
(25:00):
has got a lot of politicians ticked off. Oh you
want to get well, yeah, I'm using their money.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh yeah, you're buying.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
You're sending out money like a stimulus Jack, Is that
what it is you think you're Joe Biden over here.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's their money. It's been sitting in our accounts, just
sitting here. We're not even allowed by law to collect
interest on it. So we're just trying to get it
back to the people who own it. And so that's
what's happening. I think it's a fantastic idea. I don't
know why it's taken this long to get to the
palmetto payback idea, because he does come on probably twice
(25:32):
a year and talks about this with us. He buys
television commercials promoting it. He'll do email campaigns, Facebook ads,
the such. But there are so many people who don't know.
And again, the majority of you are not going to
get the check back right now, the vast majoriy. There
are millions and millions and millions of dollars in these accounts,
just waiting for somebody to claim them. So you need
(25:54):
to go to the treasurer's website and put in your
name and just see what pops up.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Even if you've done it recently like I did. Because
I say recently, let's say it was four years ago. Okay,
So I went through, and you do the same thing
that most people do while you're there, you know, so
I type in my brother's name, and type in my
other brother's name, type.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Of mom and dad, mom.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You just start typing in people's names so you can
tell them, hey, you got some money over here. I
did that probably three years ago, maybe a little longer,
maybe four. I think I ended up getting like three
hundred dollars. Well, that's awesome on a couple of different
accounts that for whatever reason, had just been hanging out
there and stagnant.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
But I thought I was already all caught up.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
So when I got the text message from my brother
last week, I'm like, what, I went, looked it up.
Sure enough, there was more, even more waiting on you.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yay. That's why I got that.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I got that going for me that the pola got
going for me over Waina Munda.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
So if you go to Treasurer dot SC dot gov
on the upper right hand side and the green button,
you'll see unclaimed property. And if you click that, like
Jonathan said, you can just start putting in your name.
You can put anybody name in there, yeah, and then
just let them know, hey, I found this money here
for you.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
All right, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
So now I'm very excited to find out more about
this deal for the pharmaceuticals because that will help tremendously
a lot of.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
People, a lot of people, and like you said, it'll
probably raise prices in certain countries. But Donald Trump says
the law will be whoever is paying the lowest prices
in the world. That is what the price the United
States will pay moving forward, or you will not have
access to the US market. And I can see where
somebody might push back and say something to the extent of, well,
(27:35):
then they just won't sell that drug here. But you
have to be insane to actually believe that, because when
you look at just drugs in general, like the United
States consumes like something insane, like eighty percent of all
the drugs in the world are consumed by these three
hundred and fifty million drug addicted people.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, I think I've mentioned this before.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Next time you go into a pharmacy and you got
to pick up a prescription, look at the wall behind them,
and I'm telling you it's like looking at the end
of the first thing in Indiana Jones movie.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I mean, it's like it's like.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Thousands and thousands and thousands of prescriptions, and different pharmacies
do it different ways.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
I think CBS puts them.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
They stack them in little like folder boxes and they're
all in paper bags. And Walgreens I think has them
in plastic bags hanging on racks. But if you just
and I asked the girl, I think it was at Walgreens.
I said, is it because I'm in Forest Acres and
there are a lot of senior citizens that you have
(28:41):
so many prescriptions here to be picked up? I mean,
look at that wall and she said no, I've worked
in the CBS on broad rivers got four times this many.
Like what wow? What I mean? It is a lot,
a lot, a lot of product.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
And once the drug company has already put together through
all the research and development, you think they're not going
to sell it to you?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
They're going to penalize themselves.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
And if you.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Think that they're not going to be able to develop
more drugs because they want to sell more drugs to
you through your doctor's office, you think they're going to
penalize themselves themselves.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
You just look at the profits that these companies report,
even after all the research and development. I'm not saying
R and D is inexpensive, but you spend fifty billion
to make three hundred billion.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
What's going to be interesting is will RFK Junior actually
be able to create an FDA that has to themselves
independently test these pharmaceuticals, or do we just take the
information from the pharmaceutical company and rubber stamp it oh
No
