Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jonathan Rush, this is the biggest spinning cut I think
in the history of government on planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Now, is it enough?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Of course not.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
Kelly Nash, John Thune and Mike Johnson have done a
fantastic jefter the Jonathan and Kelly Show. Well, I don't
guess President Trump has had an opportunity to speak with
Senator Warnock.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I'm not too happy about the.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Big beautiful bill bailout for billionaires. That's all it is, Yeah,
costing the American people. We can get more to that
in segment three coming up. Hey, this is Jonathan Rush.
I look, Kelly Nash and.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
I feel so poor now that Elon Musk has stolen
all our money and left Washington. I know he's just
wiped out the four O one k's and Social Security,
It's all gone.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And now he's taking it with him apparently. I know.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
We record this on Friday for Saturday broadcast, so we
have it at this point.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Seen the celebration.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I guess it will be when the press conference comes
down from the Oval Office today with the official exit
of Elon Musk would be going back to his original
jobs now at what five or six different companies breaking
the stratosphere and trying to figure out how we can
make Tesla, make Tesla not only even better but anti flammable.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Well, the question will become who's the new bad guy?
Right because the media really was hyping him up. The
Democrats were hyping him up. Hen your personnel files. And
now that that's over, I guess Big Balls will have
to be the bad guy.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
We'll know that by Monday. All right, now, on this
program today, we're gonna be talking about something we learned today.
We didn't even know this was a state law. And
anybody representing any murderers in in South Carolina who are
planning or had not planned but maybe they're going to
plan to file is unfit to stand trial. Their attorneys
are scrambling to take advantage of this loophole.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
The lawmakers in this state have written a law so
poorly that it I'm slightly exaggerating, but the law says,
if they're criminally insane, they must be sentenced to cuddling
your grandmother. That's almost the actual definition of the law.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I don't remember the murderers can cuddle your grandmother law.
They probably titled it something different, but nonetheless.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
They're criminally insane. If they're just insane murderer, then they
don't get to cuddle grandma.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
We will get into that coming up in segment four.
We have Nancy Mace making interesting news this week. We've
got to cover that as a South Carolina aspect to
our swamp talk coming up, which is primarily going to
be Washington, DC talk.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That'll be in segment three.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Tomorrow kicks off Gay Pride Month. And here's a swift
kick in the butt for the gays here in South Carolina.
Let's just stop right there for a second.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
We will.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
We have to like it so much. Listen, here's the boy.
We're going to put out a plea for Daniel Rickenman
in segment two. Maybe he'll hear our plea the mayor.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
And I bet you Kelly's plea will be backed up
by patio furniture. I'm saying, Kelly Nation patio furniture, walking
hand in hand leading the parade.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
As long as we're sholder a shoulder and no one's
leading the other, I guess we're all good.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
But we get to start off this week with what
everybody was anticipating, because it did drag on for a while,
much like the Big Beautiful Bill. We had the House
and the Senate here in South Carolina going into conference
to come out with a budget. And although it was
finalized the Wednesday before Memorial Day weekend, you didn't want
to impose on these guys for Memorial Day weekend. So
(03:30):
they have all those in district activities that they can
cover their expenses for. We'll get into in just a second,
but they were able to finalize that they get a
vote on it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's not put the bail.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
We'll get a brand new budget and with that comes
a brand new set of challenges.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Well, I mean, he's a stickler for the rules. West
Climber Republican rock Hill. He's not a fan of the
idea of increasing And I know it's not a raise
per se. It's the amount of money that the legislators
get to spend to go to in district type of things.
And it's in the big picture of the fourteen point
(04:09):
seven billion dollar state budget. It is a very very
inconsequential amount. It's eighteen thousand dollars a year per lawmaker.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
And no one's saying that it probably isn't already And well,
passed needed to be covered because there are expenses these
guys have in their districts.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
But as he said, this is West Climber talking and
being in the posting career. Regardless of how you feel
about this legislative and he uses the phrase pay raise,
which is not correct. Regardless of how you feel about that,
regardless of whether you believe it's merited inflation adjustment, you
cannot possibly believe that this is the right way to
(04:46):
do it. It is unconstitutional because it did not go
through the proper vetting process that the people, the legislators
did not vote on this. They voted on like what
we're talking about, the big beautiful bill. It's kind of
the same type of thing because it.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Was aso inside the bill of the budget.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
So it's unconstitutional. And there's a number of legislators who
agree with him on that, and I'm pretty sure you're
going to be able to find a bunch of judges
who agree with him on that. And then you know,
former Legislator Dick Carpoolian said, he's right, and I'll be
happy to sue the state for you.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
He's always looking for an opportunity to sue the states.
Seems like and in the past we have agreed with
him in a lot of cases. Now on this one
in particular, I don't know the ins and outs in
the exact parliamentary procedure that has to be followed here.
But you know, it just is funny because the last
time I got a budget, I mean last year, we
had a proviso that if where are we now with
the with the bathroom situations with public schools and the like,
(05:47):
the proviso that still hasn't.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Gone to the Supreme Court? Where are we in that process?
Can we know?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
We just we're waiting.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
We're just waiting as that lawsuit continues. So we now
would this one get to court any faster? I wouldn't imagine.
But here's the problem is that we continually write these
laws in such a way that we have problems with
people being able to come in and in this case
is coming from the damn Senate floor and the House
(06:14):
floor that this is unconstitutional. You would think that with
as many lawyers as we have inside the General Assembly,
and I've been told repeatedly that they're quick to point
out and the even point and laugh at the ones
who aren't attorneys, that with all these attorneys covering up
the floor in both chambers at the General Assembly. We'd
get this right the first time.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I look, I know, I think just about everybody in
the Freedom Caucus voted against the budget. And Jordan Pace
is quoted in this story. He's the chair of the
Freedom Caucus now and he was saying that, yes, he
doesn't agree with the pay raise. He also doesn't agree
with the priorities that have been set inside the budget.
(06:54):
He gives the example that we're spending more money for
university buildings instead of the bridge that are falling down.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know, one of the things that we we just
continually shovel money. I mean with a flat point shovel.
We don't leave any money on the floor. Brother, we
pick up a spare chaine seemingly when we start spending
money at our universities. Now, I understand the governor had
a big push and a lot of House members and
Senate as well agreed that we should do everything we
(07:22):
can to keep the tuition down.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
I would say that you're actually making the problem worse.
You should let the tuitions explode, let them go to
a million a year or something, because it doesn't matter
that the American people got hoodwinked when the federal government
started making these loans very easy, and you could you
can just watch it. You can see as soon as
that program started, you can see the cost of tuitions exploding.
(07:48):
And as these universities, both private and public, started getting
easier access to cash, they started charging more and more,
more and more, and then all of a sudden, it
was like, well, now the state's got to do their
part to keep up and help their kids get in
and with the lower tuition rates, and so now even
the in state tuition rate is Think about this, Jonathan,
If you look at the in state tuition rate from
(08:09):
the University of South Carolina or Clemson and look at
it and just adjusted for inflation, it's like triple what
it was for out of state and tuition just thirty
years ago.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, anybody who was doing financial planning thirty years ago,
even talking to their certified financial planner the CFP guys,
would tell you, yeah, we woefully underestimated how expensive it
would be to have education in the future, because it
certainly doubled the pace of even healthcare.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
And we were told that you have to get a
college tuition in order to do anything that's bull crap
as well, as you're finding out more and more people
have jobs that have nothing to do with their degree.
And I just saw a poll the other day on CNN.
Only twenty eight percent of Americans believe that universities are
actually helping that. So think about it. That's between the
(08:58):
ages of twenty five and fifty. The vast majority of
people in there went to college, and they still think
that colleges are on the wrong track. They're far too liberal,
they're indoctrinating people, they're just not helping America. So why
are we funding it?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Well, during the Biden administration, everybody understands the origin of
the let's pay off the college loans for persons who
have already graduated. That ended up being one of those
infamous Democrat eighty twenty eighty percent of Americans disagreed with
paying off the college debt with tax payer money. So
in this case, now it's like we're paying it forward,
we're fronting the cash.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
What are we spending How much extra are we putting
in this year? It's like sixty five million dollars, you know,
just to keep the tuition rates the same. These universities
are way out of control with the amount of money
that they're getting, and they're concerned about things that have
nothing to do with making life better in South Carolina.
If you're a private university and you want to be crazy,
I mean not to the level of Harvard crazy, where
(09:58):
you just allow them to attack Jewish people. But if
you want to be crazy with whatever you're teaching or whatever,
that's great. Do your thing. And if people want to
pay money to go there, that's fine. But if you're
a public university where you are receiving tax dollars and
the reason you were founded was to make South Carolina
a better place for future employers, and we heard from
Boeing how ticked off they were. They called the nikky
(10:21):
Haley a liar because the people who graduated from the
University of South Carolina and Clemson and all these other
universities were inequipped. They could not do the jobs at Boeing.
So Boeing had to bring in people from Washington State
and other areas.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
You know, And we constantly heard from the Governor's office.
Then they haven't made a comment recently of how great
our technical school system is in the state of South
Carolina and how that was going to help feed into
the much needed educated workforce, especially with high tech as
we brought in more and more of these large employers
from out of state. But if you go to any
(10:56):
rating of technical school systems where they judge all these
schools and rank them nationwide, we are woefully behind. I mean,
we got some of the worst in the country.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Look, I get it.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
We need to do everything we can to help South
Carolinians get the education they need because it is a
brand new age. It's a golden age, all right, and
it's coming hard and fast. Oh yeah, so we have
to have retooled. Some people now are retooling themselves, which
is very smart. Go back and re educate yourselves seeing
make yourself qualified.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
For these positions.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
But for the really youngsters of people coming out of
high school, we got to make sure we get them
on the path early.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
We were talking to a guy years ago who talked
about was his job was to like oversee higher education
for the state. And he was talking about I might
be misremembering, but it was I think it was Wafford
was the university that he said did the best job
in the state of South Carolina. They would actually go
and talk to employers around the state. What skill sets
(11:56):
do you need in the next three to five years.
Would present that information to incoming freshmen. If you're looking
for a major, this is what they're looking for. Here's
and they're paying people on two hundred thousand dollars a
year in this field. If that sounds exciting to you
and you think that that skill set is something you
can develop here, we offer these programs, and they would
(12:17):
tweak the programs in order to fit what was going
on around the state of South Carolina. And if it
was Wafford, that's a private school, they're not even that's
not even supposed to be them. That's exactly what the
University of South Carolina was built for. That's exactly what
Clemson was built for. Instead, these universities are far more
interested in getting the high IQ people out of New
(12:40):
Jersey and Ohio in order to impress the US News
World Report and get higher rankings. Nobody gives a flip
about the US News World Report rankings of universities.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Well, we had another hot word come up this past week.
We mentioned it earlier in this segment, proviso. There's another
proviso in the buy we can talk more about when
Kelly makes his plea and walks hand in hand with
Pattio furniture.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Then you'll Rick help us your Hurley hope.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Next the Jonathan and Kelly Show, Jonathan and Walster.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Analysts have pointed a new term called the taco trade.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
They're saying Trump always chickens out. What's your response to that.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Kelly Nash, But don't ever say what you said.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
That's a nasty question.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
He's just jerking the markets around with that. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
It's on, it's off, it's down, it's up. We're gonna
adjust it. We're not unlike the federal judges when they
come out with the ruling in Wall Street responds to it.
That doesn't jerk the market around at all. That's level
headed thinking right there. We can get in more of that.
That bizarre story coming up here, and we have breaking
news on this Friday. Remember we record this program on
(13:52):
Friday because Kelly won't come in and work with me
on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
No, that's not why. It's because true.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I mean, you know we both agree we won't work
together on Saturdays. We see too much of each other Monday.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
It's only ten hours a day. Five days a week.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I got it.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Sally's jealous. He thinks we've got a thing going on.
And now when I tell her that you're walking hand
in hand with patio furniture, and when I say walking
hand in hand, what I'm really saying is is that
patio Furniture is outraged, and so is Kelly and I
as we read about the City of Columbia. Now, last
week we talked about conversion therapy, and we don't have
to get into the definition and the arguments they're of
(14:33):
and what's going on with the City of Columbia, because
it's been.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Going on for a while.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
But if you may remember, last week, we had a
meeting and now that's been followed up by another meeting
because they kicked the gay can down the road, because
they're trying to figure out the kicking gay cans around here.
That's part of the big celebration kicking off tomorrow, I'm
sure is the first day of Gay Pride Month. But
the City of Columbia Council again delay to vote on
a future on a future banning excuse me, on the
(15:00):
future of banning professionals and practicing conversion therapy, which attempts
to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity, so
they wanted to they deferred the vote. I guess you're
waiting on the budget like everybody else because they knew
it had this proviso coming in where they were going
to lose state money three point seven million dollars, and
then the budget still hadn't come out by the time
(15:22):
they schedule the next meeting, and that's when they had
more opportunities for people to speak up and speak out.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Yeah, and just so people are clear, first, patio furniture
is a drag queen who people know. It's pretty I
guess just one congratulations nationally, just one Charleston's favorite drag queen.
So congratulations to patio Furniture on that. And also, so
what people understand is conversion therapy. The banning of it
has been ruled unconstitutional. So if the city of Columbia
(15:52):
wants to continue to ban something that has been you
can't ban it. They're going to lose some state funding to,
like you said, almost four million dollars. Daniel Rickman, our mayor,
has not come out either way on this thing. He
just keeps asking if we continue the ban, where's the
money going to come from now. That may be his
(16:13):
way of trying to put pressure on the rest of
the council members because they don't have any answers. And
Teresa Wilson is saying the same thing, the city manager,
you all got to figure out where that three point
seven millions coming from because we don't have it. So
we're going to have to cut some services. We're gonna
have to do something if you want to continue to
ban this, but it is you're not going to be
(16:34):
able to take it to court because the court's already ruled.
South Supreme Court said no, that's you can't ban this.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Well, and the other thing she pointed out is that
maybe an extra kick in the butt to the gates.
We may kick the gay can down the road again
if you do, if you stand up for this, because
the only way we can take that money and try
to replenty shit from other lines is it'll be coming
out of.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
The H tax.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Well, the H tax hospitality tax, pays for a lot
of these events. You can see a lot of them
schedule this coming month, for instance, for Gay Prie. I mean,
we've got the parade coming down, We've got the kids
reading hour, we got the show me your fake Boosom
Boosom's Saturday thing, whatever that is. Uh So, we got
a lot of a lot of gay pride events in
(17:14):
the City of Columbia, so you're gonna end up paying
on the front end of the back end. Never mind.
So here's the thing. When Alan Wilson came out as
the attorney General said that it is a violation of
state law and the first Amendment to put the ban
in place, the City of Columbia said, don't care. Now
you put a money attacked. Now we got some money
attached to it. At least Daniel Rickhaman apparently is like,
(17:37):
do care because we got to come in Teresa's. Wilson's
already said somebody's got to pay the piper here.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
And just so we're clear, Daniel Rickaman did vote against
putting this band in place back when he was a
council member.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
He didn't.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
He doesn't agree with it. He thinks that the Again,
just so you understand, if you don't know what conversion
therapy is or what they claim it is, it's the
idea that somebody comes to a therapist and says, I'm
struggling with my sexuality. I feel like I'm going gay,
but I don't want to be gay, because if you
want to be gay, there's nobody who can convert you back.
It's kind of like saying I don't want to be
(18:09):
an alcoholic, but I really like being an alcoholic. Nobody
can fix that. But if you're saying I don't want
to be an alcoholic, there's people who can fix it.
It's so they're saying that what's happening is that the
kids are getting maligned by their parents, and that their
parents are forcing them to this therapy and then the
kids do something bad to themselves. Nobody wants anything bad
to happen to anybody. But the idea that you, as
(18:31):
a therapist can't even discuss the idea of trans you're
not sure if you're a boy or a girl. Perhaps
I can help I'm a therapist. You can't help them
unless the answer is you're the other sex. That's insane
that you cannot, as a therapist say you know you
are what you were born.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
And because you're blocking that speech, but kind of flies
in the face of the argument. Here from one of
the OLBGTQ advocates who stood up and said, and here's
a quote out of the article or I think this
is from the state paper. I am asking you to
stand up for what's right in the face of an
oppressive government. That said Dylan Gunnals, president of sc Pride.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
So Dylan is saying that the government, if they allow
free speech, that's oppressive, but if you ban free speech,
that's freedom. See this is what I'm talking about. They're
so confused. Up is down and down is up?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Now.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
State Representative Seth Rose, Democrat Richland, former Richland County Council member,
spoke to reporters and he said that he would hope
that no elected official would actively ask for state level
restrictions to affect local laws. He's right, Kelly, it's never
happened before. If you want to do away with an
ordinance that's been publicly put in place by locally elected officials,
(19:51):
you should do it in a public setting, not behind
the curtain. I guess he's talking about same thing we
talked about in the first segment, having to do with
the proviso out of the state budget. And you cannot
take money away from the City of Columbia residents with
a state law. What do we shut down the whole
General Assembly? You run one of those rainbow flags at
top of the dome over there.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
I mean, look, there are certain cities, like Columbia is
in a deep red state, but it's a city, and
most cities lean left. Ours happens to lean further to
the left than most cities and deep red states. But
we're I guess we're like at Atlanta. Atlanta as a
far left city inside a deep red state. And so
(20:34):
if the State of Georgia passes something, Atlanta's gonna have
to suck it up. And the state of South Carolina
has said it's unconstitutional to do what the city is doing. Look,
you want to try to fool around and make yourself
a sanctuary city as well, you'll be getting some quick
visits from Tom Homan and the crew. I mean, that's
just the way it is. The state is in control
(20:55):
until they let you at the local level take it over.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
So we're still way.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
You're going to confirmation of a position in this argument
from Daniel Rickaman, and it may simply be, look, we
can't afford it.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
I think I think he's trying to walk a tight
wire here. I wish he would come out and be
more sporceful as a leader and just say I don't
agree with this banning of any kind of therapy like this,
and I hope that my fellow board members or whatever
will agree with me and say, we need the money
and we need the freedom of speech. But if that's
not how you feel, then say how you feel, Danielle.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Because in the beginning he even said, we wrote a
law doesn't have any teeth.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Yeah, he did say that as well, So he's trying
to wiggle out at that point too.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Stop wiggling, all right, we just got some breaking news
here on a Friday.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Again.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
We recorded this for broadcast on Saturdays on Fridays from
the Supreme Court. We'll get into some of that coming
up in segment three. And Kelly wants to know your
grandmother's going to have a dream come true. Cudlin with
a double murderer.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
That's the law.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
The Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Jonathan Rush, it's the biggest tax reduction in his biggest
regulation reduction.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Is incredible for Medicaid, Medicare were strengthening, Kelly Nash.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
The Democrats are going to destroy Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
The Jonathan and Kelly showboc oh and depending on which
television coverage you're watching.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Both parties are making the same point. The Republicans are
going to take away your Medicare, your Medicaid.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
And your Social Security.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Okay, now you flipped the channel over and the Democrats
are going to take away You know, it's funny because
today we issue I guess a bye bye party is
going to be held.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Is their cake?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I don't know this is because we record this on Friday,
so I guess yesterday we would have seen Elon Musk's
birthday cake or whatever it is is he gets frog
marched out of there. This has really been a very
huge disappointment the way the dose thing has ended.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
It has and I've been watching the web page, and
you know, we had a lot of people come in
and I was been asking. I've been asking, I've been asking.
I've asked everybody who had an opportunity to talk to,
and they all thought it was going to hit the
two trillion dollar mark that he was out out on
the campaign trail prior to the election that we're going
to cut two trillion dollars in wasteful spending out of
the government. Now I'm not saying after and all of
a sudden, big balls takes over with his committee, and
(23:10):
there's an incredible council, as it were, a persons who
are working for absolutely no money. They're working free to
save American taxpayers waste, fraud and abuse. The Democrats will
stand up and claim that that's not waste fraud of
the abuse, that you're taking away medicare from people. Well, yeah,
if you're an able body of the American and you're
getting medicare, yeah, we're going to take that away from
(23:32):
what about illegals?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Exactly?
Speaker 5 (23:34):
The Yeah, this shows you how addicted to spending all
of DC is. It's not just the Democrats, it's the
whole damn swamp. And I guess the final tote board
is somewhere around one hundred and sixty billion dollars is
what Doze has been able to cut. And you know,
people have been poo pooing it because it's a lot
way short of the two trillion and far short of
(23:56):
the reduced one trillion dollar goal that he had, but
one hundred sixty billion dollars, Jonathan, I ran the numbers
yesterday on that the median income for twenty twenty four
in the US was I think sixty two thousand dollars
a year, and so the federal income obligations on that
it's going to be about fifty four hundred a year.
So basically, the tax dollars of three hundred thousand Americans
(24:18):
were spent on waste and fraud. That's basically the city
of Buffalo. Every one of you, the entire city of Buffalo,
all your money was tinkled down the drain. And so
that's a good thing. We should celebrate the fact that
we saved one hundred and sixty four billion dollars. I
get that it's not as much as we like. I
think that there's going to be a lot more there.
(24:39):
But the fact that they just keep fighting against any
reductions is insane.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
And even in the wake of the news that well,
you're not saving as much money as you thought. I mean,
even in the state of South Carolina, we're talking about
will Elon Musk or the equivalent of Elon Musk come
to the state of South Carolina. We talked to Lieutenant
Governor about this. Certainly, we don't have a budget in
such a way that we would save a tremendous amount
of money. Now I'm not saying there isn't waste fraud
and abuse in our state budget. Certainly there is I
(25:07):
hope that we get that out, oh my god. But nonetheless,
it's also the other things that would fall in the
wake of that, are the regulations that are getting in
the way. Are there other ways we can streamline government?
Are the agencies that don't have to have a continual
increase in their budget every year, And that's always presumed
as a cut. If you want to keep a budget
number the same from twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five,
(25:28):
as you move into twenty five to twenty six, then
that's perceived as a cut. That's just government taught.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Yeah, And there is a move in South Carolina, just
so people are aware of it. His name is Rom Ready.
He launched doge sc and Pamela Evatt said that she's
friends with him, and I'm sure a lot of other
Republicans are friends with rom. He lives down at the
beach and this whole thing started for him over a
property fight. But he's bringing, you know, bringing to the
(25:55):
surface some of the things that he's been able to find.
And again, he's a pretty wealthy guy and he has
some resources, so that's why he's doing it. If you're interested,
you can follow him online. I think it's just doje
sc is the is the X account.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
When now was to go forward, as you mentioned earlier
with who I Call Jack Trapper, has now got himself
trapped with his book he released where he wants to
come clean with what he learned in the aftermath of
the Biden administration. Won't we learned what was so well
hidden behind the veil that surrounded the Oval office. We
have more and more Democrats who seemularly are coming out
(26:29):
now and saying, wow, this is all news to me.
When you go back and look at the video of
like General Milly. General Milly sat right there and told
you he talks to the president like once a week
or more, and he's on top of his game. He said,
he reads all the newspapers. He's always up to speed
on the minutes that are forward to him for his
daily briefing and the like. He asked tough questions and
(26:51):
wants straight answers. None of that was taking place. General
Milly Millie's a liar.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
They're all liars. And if you were if this is
breaking news to you, then you certainly weren't reading anybody
who leans right, you know x accounts. If you go
to at Kelley Nash Radio and start looking at posts
from twenty twenty, you're gonna see just a myriad of
videos and things of that nature where Joe Biden is
making no sense when he speaks, and he hasn't made
(27:16):
sense for years. He was a problem when he was cognizant.
Now that he's not cognizant, it's even worse. And so
they've been trying to hide him and they propped him up.
And I'm happy to see the investigation is really it
seems coming in earnest. It'll be interesting though, because like
with the Doze effect, I had such high hopes for
that and it's kind of been dashed because the swamp
(27:37):
is going to protect itself.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Well.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
One of the things I'm hoping for this time, James Comer,
because you and Jim Jordan. I'm a big fan of
Jim Jordan. Hell, even going all the way back to
the Bengazi hearings to Tree Goudi, and you know, he's
my superhero. We have yet to hit any paydirt on
any of the investigations that we saw previously launched when
the Republicans had the opportunity having to do with a
(27:58):
laptop Orushia, Russia, Russia, or even Benghazi. Nothing ever landed
in a way that anybody was ever held accountable. And
now you're looking at a scenario where even Democrats are
coming out saying and you even heard President hog in
an interview that he realized he was giving the Project
Veritas talking about the people that were really running the
Oval Office while Biden was supposedly in charge. And now
(28:21):
the investigation is going to come forward, and it's going
to be interesting, just based off of the Auto pen
to see how far they're able to follow the trail
of abuse and who is taking authority who was not
elected to be an authority.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Well, you know, Maga mood is pretty down these last
few days. Some good news just to kind of cheer
you up, hopefully. First off, the whole tariff thing that
was reversed. What Thursday night, I guess, so originally they
blocked the Trump tariffs. Now they're back on. We'll see
how that moves forward. Also, though Scotus, in a seven
(28:55):
to two decision, came out with a five hundred thousand
migrants are now eligible for deportation right that had been
stopped by a lower court, but according to the Supreme Court,
the only two who were against it were Sonya Sotomayor
and Catanya Brown. Jackson dissented, but the rest of them
were in on it because the argument had been they
(29:17):
if you're here illegally, you can't be sent back to
a country if you have a legitimate fear of, you know,
being prosecuted for your religion or because of your political
beliefs or anything like that. Well turns out in Nicaragua,
Venezuela and other places that's not a legitimate fear any longer.
So guess what you're heading home.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
I think it was Tuesday that Donald Trump threw out
the number of three thousand per day is what he
would like to see. Tom Holman at the EHS start
the process out of the country three thousand a day.
So I took the three thousand, and then you take
an estimated number, and I though we all know that
that was woefully underestimated because they were talking about eleven
million aliens in the country prior to Biden coming in,
and then you take another eleven at twelve and throw
(30:00):
on top of that. But if you take it just
to estimate a number of twenty million and divide it
by three thousand.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
It takes like.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Fourteen years to be able to go through the entire
process to take the illegals as it is being determined
to realize that could change per day, per court ruling,
but it is a long time so that America could
undo the damage the Biden administration did.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Well, it's not just the bidens.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
I mean, I hate to say, well.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
I did say but prior to it, so you know
it's going to be twenty million, yea. But so yes, absolutely,
this whole border problem. Go to nineteen seventy six for
a movie called The Border with Jack Nicholson. Well, you
could release it today without changing the script. This has
been going on forever.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
So I think that part of the brilliance of the
Trump playing on the deportations is the self deportation. So
they're incentivizing you in some instances with actual cash to
get the hell out of here. In other instances, it's
just the threat that if we get you, you're actually
going to do time in a federal prison, so you
(31:05):
better get the hell out of the country. It's like
you've committed a It's like if I had robbed a
bank or something, and I was like, well, I certainly
don't want to hang around the US. I'd like to,
you know, if can I get to Belize or someplace.
So you're trying to get out of here before they
catch you because you're facing long prison sentences. And then
there's also the idea that you can still get back
(31:25):
in line if we don't catch you here. If you
go ahead and get out of this country and then apply,
you then have an opportunity to come back and be
an American. I think we're going to see. Well, I
know for a fact, I was talking to one officer
for Columbia and he was telling me that he knows
of three illegals who deported themselves in the last month.
So they are going they're getting the hell out of
(31:46):
Dodge while it getting's good.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Well, I know is going into this coming week and
this coming month. My prairie as a James Comer will
deliver and will have Senate hearings as well that will
deliver and in fact, all people accountable, no matter who
they are. Biden, Joe Biden Hunter Biden let the appointed
positions inside the Oval office because we have seen it
before Trump even did it himself. There was a big
(32:10):
push by the MAGA movement to lock her up. Trump
got in a position to follow through on Hillary Clinton's
crimes and didn't do it because of the professional courtesy
we'll call it of politicians not holding people in high
positions accountable. And I'm praying that this thing starts to
dissolve with the way that Democrats are not even turning
on themselves to the point where somebody's gonna be held
(32:30):
accountable because Joe Biden plainly was not in charge, and.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Nobody was buying Hunter Biden's art, So I mean, when's
last time he sold the painting?
Speaker 4 (32:40):
We have one more segment of the Jonathan and Kelly Show.
This ought to scare the hell out of it. If
you're going to be in a nurse in home, Oh,
maybe you got a family member that is you ever
been to Generations of Minetta? They got a special visitor coming.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Jonathan and Kelly Show, Jonathan Rush.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Anybody looking again at the videos and photo evidence of
Joe Biden with your eyes and a little bit of
common sense can see this was a clear cover up.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Kelly Nash, Jill Biden was certainly.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
Complicit in that cover up. There's documentation, video evidence he's
still lying to the American people.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
The Jonathan and Kelly show WOC.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
It'd be interesting to see the race to the bookstore.
Who's going to have the next book out about the
Biden administration and how will Gell look in that one
when Jill's book is going to be a while yet
because she just ain't that deal.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
I'm looking at Jake Tapper, who has fallen off a
cliff in the ratings, and there's things, and a lot
of people are speculating inside the media that it's his
book promotion that is actually killing his show. He's down
like forty one percent in the ratings.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Every time he does an interview, he just keeps getting worse.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Yeah, he should shut up.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
All right.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
As we wrap it up for this week, there was
an interesting article and you may have read it on Wednesday.
This story has been kind of bubbling in the background.
The appeal to block a killer being sent to Aikin
County elder care home hits a roadblock. Court judge's decision
to release a confessed double killer to an elder care
(34:05):
facility in Aikin County may not be appealable. There's not
even a court in the land you can take if
you have a concern about this, because it's following the
state law.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Yeah, the Court of Appeals, in a letter from last
week wrote that they don't think that this is appealable.
And again, Casey Allen Douglas was twenty eight years old
back in twenty eighteen when he confessed to it. He
murdered his girlfriend and her father. And it's a horrible scene.
I don't need to describe it to you, but as
bad as you can make it, it's that in a
little bit extra. And so basically, since twenty eighteen, he's
(34:40):
been in a mental institution, and now that institution has
said he's gone as far as he can go. He's
not going to get any healthier, and he's still not
fit to stand trial. And so the way the law
is apparently written in this state, or the way it's
being interpreted by apparently a lot of peace people, is
(35:01):
if he can't stand trial and he's not getting better
in a mental institution, right, you can't keep him in
the mental institution and you can't send him to prison,
so you have to send him somewhere else. And so
the somewhere else happens to be this elder care facility.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Down in Minetta generations and grandmother was there for a while.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
I mean, that is an unbelievable update, right that, you know,
you got all these seventy five to ninety five year
olds who are just what, here comes a thirty First off,
you're going to stick out like a sore thumb just
because you're thirty.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Five, and the tattoos are going to make it a
little late. Secondly, your generation.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Typically doesn't have as many tattoos as you have, so
although we do appreciate the tattoo of Jesus.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
And when you look that's on his throat and when
you look at Casey Allen Douglas and the eyes, he
looks exactly like you would imagine somebody who's a confessed
double murderer to look. His eyes look absolutely dead.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
A typical nursing facility like this, you gain access to
it and they're security of the doors, and it saw
a security to make sure that some they just don't
wheel themselves out and go for a ride, because that
can become a problem too. There are a lot of
security measures in these facilities, as you might imagine, but
once you get inside, it's pretty open. I mean the hallways,
the doorways, different rooms are pretty much opened. There's some
(36:20):
residents just sitting in wheelchairs or the like, or they're
inside playing bingo. I mean, this is not like a
restricted area.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
I mean, just the legislation has got to be so
horrible because you've written a law where this is the
end result. The way that the legal officials of this
state have interpreted what you wrote was that you cannot
put him in prison. Why why would you say that
somebody who is a confessed double murderer cannot do time
(36:53):
in jail. Why? I don't understand that. I'll never understand that.
And the idea that he has to be put into
some any other institution that's not punishing him. He should
be punished. Whether he understands why or not is not
the point now.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Representative Bill Taylor, Republican Aikin County total constituents, via Facebook
post on the fifteenth of May that Douglas is.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Not in Minetta nor will he be. Okay, I get it.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
I appreciate you coming out with a firm stance on this,
but the question is going to be, now, where is
he and what are you going to do with him?
Because according to state law. You can't just put him
back into another prison facility. You can't take him back
to the mental facility unless you're going to take him home.
I'm not sure how you can. You can say he's
not going to be there, but we still got to
come up with a place for him to be.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Where's home is certainly not with his girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
No, I meant Representative Bill Taylor.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Oh no, I don't think you'll be taking him home? Yeah, Oh, listen.
Is one of those things where we talk about it
all the time. Write a law, and seemingly you would
with that many attorneys in one location, you would have
thought that this would have never been the case, that
you would end up having an open ended scenario that
could put a double killer in the room with your grandma.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
This is it's really ridiculous. And again we prerecord this
on the thirtieth, They have till the thirty first, so
today when we're hearing this the thirty first, So there
may be an update that has happened on Friday and
we haven't heard it yet. But the law is so
poorly written that this is the end result Casey Allen
Douglas murderer, age thirty five, will now be apparently living
(38:27):
in some sort of elder facility for the rest of
his life.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
I'm just imagining my grandmother when she was alive, God
rest herself, she would look at those statutes. I'm sure
she would have to ask, is that Jesus on your neck? Yeah,
and she's gonna get real close to him to take
a good look at it.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
And every person who dies in that elder facility moving forward,
was it natural? Everybody's gonna have to ask the same question. Casey,
were you around? I don't know if I was around
or not. I'm insane. Oh all right, hey, listen, this
is the last day I made.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
May.
Speaker 4 (38:59):
Tomorrow, we'll kick off the big June Pride Fest celebration
here in Columbia.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
You're excited to see patio furniture.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
There's a lot of events scheduled, so check it before
you go to Soda City. Oh okay, I was just
having a vision of Seattle. That's not going to come
to pass. We're not going to have Christians being attacked here.
Oh oh no, no, okay, all right, now, have yourself
a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
It's over.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
I wish that all of you will come back again
next week.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Can you come back next week.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
I'll be back same time next week.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Well show on Pyle. We'll be back next week.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Bring it.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You got to come back next week
Welcome to the Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jonathan Rush, this is the biggest spinning cut I think
in the history of government on planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Now, is it enough?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Of course not.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
Kelly Nash, John Thune and Mike Johnson have done a
fantastic jefter the Jonathan and Kelly Show. Well, I don't
guess President Trump has had an opportunity to speak with
Senator Warnock.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I'm not too happy about the.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Big beautiful bill bailout for billionaires. That's all it is, Yeah,
costing the American people. We can get more to that
in segment three coming up. Hey, this is Jonathan Rush.
I look, Kelly Nash and.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
I feel so poor now that Elon Musk has stolen
all our money and left Washington. I know he's just
wiped out the four O one k's and Social Security,
It's all gone.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And now he's taking it with him apparently. I know.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
We record this on Friday for Saturday broadcast, so we
have it at this point.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Seen the celebration.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I guess it will be when the press conference comes
down from the Oval Office today with the official exit
of Elon Musk would be going back to his original
jobs now at what five or six different companies breaking
the stratosphere and trying to figure out how we can
make Tesla, make Tesla not only even better but anti flammable.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Well, the question will become who's the new bad guy?
Right because the media really was hyping him up. The
Democrats were hyping him up. Hen your personnel files. And
now that that's over, I guess Big Balls will have
to be the bad guy.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
We'll know that by Monday. All right, now, on this
program today, we're gonna be talking about something we learned today.
We didn't even know this was a state law. And
anybody representing any murderers in in South Carolina who are
planning or had not planned but maybe they're going to
plan to file is unfit to stand trial. Their attorneys
are scrambling to take advantage of this loophole.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
The lawmakers in this state have written a law so
poorly that it I'm slightly exaggerating, but the law says,
if they're criminally insane, they must be sentenced to cuddling
your grandmother. That's almost the actual definition of the law.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I don't remember the murderers can cuddle your grandmother law.
They probably titled it something different, but nonetheless.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
They're criminally insane. If they're just insane murderer, then they
don't get to cuddle grandma.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
We will get into that coming up in segment four.
We have Nancy Mace making interesting news this week. We've
got to cover that as a South Carolina aspect to
our swamp talk coming up, which is primarily going to
be Washington, DC talk.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That'll be in segment three.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Tomorrow kicks off Gay Pride Month. And here's a swift
kick in the butt for the gays here in South Carolina.
Let's just stop right there for a second.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
We will.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
We have to like it so much. Listen, here's the boy.
We're going to put out a plea for Daniel Rickenman
in segment two. Maybe he'll hear our plea the mayor.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
And I bet you Kelly's plea will be backed up
by patio furniture. I'm saying, Kelly Nation patio furniture, walking
hand in hand leading the parade.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
As long as we're sholder a shoulder and no one's
leading the other, I guess we're all good.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
But we get to start off this week with what
everybody was anticipating, because it did drag on for a while,
much like the Big Beautiful Bill. We had the House
and the Senate here in South Carolina going into conference
to come out with a budget. And although it was
finalized the Wednesday before Memorial Day weekend, you didn't want
to impose on these guys for Memorial Day weekend. So
(03:30):
they have all those in district activities that they can
cover their expenses for. We'll get into in just a second,
but they were able to finalize that they get a
vote on it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's not put the bail.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
We'll get a brand new budget and with that comes
a brand new set of challenges.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Well, I mean, he's a stickler for the rules. West
Climber Republican rock Hill. He's not a fan of the
idea of increasing And I know it's not a raise
per se. It's the amount of money that the legislators
get to spend to go to in district type of things.
And it's in the big picture of the fourteen point
(04:09):
seven billion dollar state budget. It is a very very
inconsequential amount. It's eighteen thousand dollars a year per lawmaker.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
And no one's saying that it probably isn't already And well,
passed needed to be covered because there are expenses these
guys have in their districts.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
But as he said, this is West Climber talking and
being in the posting career. Regardless of how you feel
about this legislative and he uses the phrase pay raise,
which is not correct. Regardless of how you feel about that,
regardless of whether you believe it's merited inflation adjustment, you
cannot possibly believe that this is the right way to
(04:46):
do it. It is unconstitutional because it did not go
through the proper vetting process that the people, the legislators
did not vote on this. They voted on like what
we're talking about, the big beautiful bill. It's kind of
the same type of thing because it.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Was aso inside the bill of the budget.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
So it's unconstitutional. And there's a number of legislators who
agree with him on that, and I'm pretty sure you're
going to be able to find a bunch of judges
who agree with him on that. And then you know,
former Legislator Dick Carpoolian said, he's right, and I'll be
happy to sue the state for you.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
He's always looking for an opportunity to sue the states.
Seems like and in the past we have agreed with
him in a lot of cases. Now on this one
in particular, I don't know the ins and outs in
the exact parliamentary procedure that has to be followed here.
But you know, it just is funny because the last
time I got a budget, I mean last year, we
had a proviso that if where are we now with
the with the bathroom situations with public schools and the like,
(05:47):
the proviso that still hasn't.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Gone to the Supreme Court? Where are we in that process?
Can we know?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
We just we're waiting.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
We're just waiting as that lawsuit continues. So we now
would this one get to court any faster? I wouldn't imagine.
But here's the problem is that we continually write these
laws in such a way that we have problems with
people being able to come in and in this case
is coming from the damn Senate floor and the House
(06:14):
floor that this is unconstitutional. You would think that with
as many lawyers as we have inside the General Assembly,
and I've been told repeatedly that they're quick to point
out and the even point and laugh at the ones
who aren't attorneys, that with all these attorneys covering up
the floor in both chambers at the General Assembly. We'd
get this right the first time.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I look, I know, I think just about everybody in
the Freedom Caucus voted against the budget. And Jordan Pace
is quoted in this story. He's the chair of the
Freedom Caucus now and he was saying that, yes, he
doesn't agree with the pay raise. He also doesn't agree
with the priorities that have been set inside the budget.
(06:54):
He gives the example that we're spending more money for
university buildings instead of the bridge that are falling down.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know, one of the things that we we just
continually shovel money. I mean with a flat point shovel.
We don't leave any money on the floor. Brother, we
pick up a spare chaine seemingly when we start spending
money at our universities. Now, I understand the governor had
a big push and a lot of House members and
Senate as well agreed that we should do everything we
(07:22):
can to keep the tuition down.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
I would say that you're actually making the problem worse.
You should let the tuitions explode, let them go to
a million a year or something, because it doesn't matter
that the American people got hoodwinked when the federal government
started making these loans very easy, and you could you
can just watch it. You can see as soon as
that program started, you can see the cost of tuitions exploding.
(07:48):
And as these universities, both private and public, started getting
easier access to cash, they started charging more and more,
more and more, and then all of a sudden, it
was like, well, now the state's got to do their
part to keep up and help their kids get in
and with the lower tuition rates, and so now even
the in state tuition rate is Think about this, Jonathan,
If you look at the in state tuition rate from
(08:09):
the University of South Carolina or Clemson and look at
it and just adjusted for inflation, it's like triple what
it was for out of state and tuition just thirty
years ago.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, anybody who was doing financial planning thirty years ago,
even talking to their certified financial planner the CFP guys,
would tell you, yeah, we woefully underestimated how expensive it
would be to have education in the future, because it
certainly doubled the pace of even healthcare.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
And we were told that you have to get a
college tuition in order to do anything that's bull crap
as well, as you're finding out more and more people
have jobs that have nothing to do with their degree.
And I just saw a poll the other day on CNN.
Only twenty eight percent of Americans believe that universities are
actually helping that. So think about it. That's between the
(08:58):
ages of twenty five and fifty. The vast majority of
people in there went to college, and they still think
that colleges are on the wrong track. They're far too liberal,
they're indoctrinating people, they're just not helping America. So why
are we funding it?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Well, during the Biden administration, everybody understands the origin of
the let's pay off the college loans for persons who
have already graduated. That ended up being one of those
infamous Democrat eighty twenty eighty percent of Americans disagreed with
paying off the college debt with tax payer money. So
in this case, now it's like we're paying it forward,
we're fronting the cash.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
What are we spending How much extra are we putting
in this year? It's like sixty five million dollars, you know,
just to keep the tuition rates the same. These universities
are way out of control with the amount of money
that they're getting, and they're concerned about things that have
nothing to do with making life better in South Carolina.
If you're a private university and you want to be crazy,
I mean not to the level of Harvard crazy, where
(09:58):
you just allow them to attack Jewish people. But if
you want to be crazy with whatever you're teaching or whatever,
that's great. Do your thing. And if people want to
pay money to go there, that's fine. But if you're
a public university where you are receiving tax dollars and
the reason you were founded was to make South Carolina
a better place for future employers, and we heard from
Boeing how ticked off they were. They called the nikky
(10:21):
Haley a liar because the people who graduated from the
University of South Carolina and Clemson and all these other
universities were inequipped. They could not do the jobs at Boeing.
So Boeing had to bring in people from Washington State
and other areas.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
You know, And we constantly heard from the Governor's office.
Then they haven't made a comment recently of how great
our technical school system is in the state of South
Carolina and how that was going to help feed into
the much needed educated workforce, especially with high tech as
we brought in more and more of these large employers
from out of state. But if you go to any
(10:56):
rating of technical school systems where they judge all these
schools and rank them nationwide, we are woefully behind. I mean,
we got some of the worst in the country.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Look, I get it.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
We need to do everything we can to help South
Carolinians get the education they need because it is a
brand new age. It's a golden age, all right, and
it's coming hard and fast. Oh yeah, so we have
to have retooled. Some people now are retooling themselves, which
is very smart. Go back and re educate yourselves seeing
make yourself qualified.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
For these positions.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
But for the really youngsters of people coming out of
high school, we got to make sure we get them
on the path early.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
We were talking to a guy years ago who talked
about was his job was to like oversee higher education
for the state. And he was talking about I might
be misremembering, but it was I think it was Wafford
was the university that he said did the best job
in the state of South Carolina. They would actually go
and talk to employers around the state. What skill sets
(11:56):
do you need in the next three to five years.
Would present that information to incoming freshmen. If you're looking
for a major, this is what they're looking for. Here's
and they're paying people on two hundred thousand dollars a
year in this field. If that sounds exciting to you
and you think that that skill set is something you
can develop here, we offer these programs, and they would
(12:17):
tweak the programs in order to fit what was going
on around the state of South Carolina. And if it
was Wafford, that's a private school, they're not even that's
not even supposed to be them. That's exactly what the
University of South Carolina was built for. That's exactly what
Clemson was built for. Instead, these universities are far more
interested in getting the high IQ people out of New
(12:40):
Jersey and Ohio in order to impress the US News
World Report and get higher rankings. Nobody gives a flip
about the US News World Report rankings of universities.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Well, we had another hot word come up this past week.
We mentioned it earlier in this segment, proviso. There's another
proviso in the buy we can talk more about when
Kelly makes his plea and walks hand in hand with
Pattio furniture.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Then you'll Rick help us your Hurley hope.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Next the Jonathan and Kelly Show, Jonathan and Walster.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Analysts have pointed a new term called the taco trade.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
They're saying Trump always chickens out. What's your response to that.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Kelly Nash, But don't ever say what you said.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
That's a nasty question.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
He's just jerking the markets around with that. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
It's on, it's off, it's down, it's up. We're gonna
adjust it. We're not unlike the federal judges when they
come out with the ruling in Wall Street responds to it.
That doesn't jerk the market around at all. That's level
headed thinking right there. We can get in more of that.
That bizarre story coming up here, and we have breaking
news on this Friday. Remember we record this program on
(13:52):
Friday because Kelly won't come in and work with me
on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
No, that's not why. It's because true.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I mean, you know we both agree we won't work
together on Saturdays. We see too much of each other Monday.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
It's only ten hours a day. Five days a week.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I got it.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Sally's jealous. He thinks we've got a thing going on.
And now when I tell her that you're walking hand
in hand with patio furniture, and when I say walking
hand in hand, what I'm really saying is is that
patio Furniture is outraged, and so is Kelly and I
as we read about the City of Columbia. Now, last
week we talked about conversion therapy, and we don't have
to get into the definition and the arguments they're of
(14:33):
and what's going on with the City of Columbia, because
it's been.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Going on for a while.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
But if you may remember, last week, we had a
meeting and now that's been followed up by another meeting
because they kicked the gay can down the road, because
they're trying to figure out the kicking gay cans around here.
That's part of the big celebration kicking off tomorrow, I'm
sure is the first day of Gay Pride Month. But
the City of Columbia Council again delay to vote on
a future on a future banning excuse me, on the
(15:00):
future of banning professionals and practicing conversion therapy, which attempts
to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity, so
they wanted to they deferred the vote. I guess you're
waiting on the budget like everybody else because they knew
it had this proviso coming in where they were going
to lose state money three point seven million dollars, and
then the budget still hadn't come out by the time
(15:22):
they schedule the next meeting, and that's when they had
more opportunities for people to speak up and speak out.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Yeah, and just so people are clear, first, patio furniture
is a drag queen who people know. It's pretty I
guess just one congratulations nationally, just one Charleston's favorite drag queen.
So congratulations to patio Furniture on that. And also, so
what people understand is conversion therapy. The banning of it
has been ruled unconstitutional. So if the city of Columbia
(15:52):
wants to continue to ban something that has been you
can't ban it. They're going to lose some state funding to,
like you said, almost four million dollars. Daniel Rickman, our mayor,
has not come out either way on this thing. He
just keeps asking if we continue the ban, where's the
money going to come from now. That may be his
(16:13):
way of trying to put pressure on the rest of
the council members because they don't have any answers. And
Teresa Wilson is saying the same thing, the city manager,
you all got to figure out where that three point
seven millions coming from because we don't have it. So
we're going to have to cut some services. We're gonna
have to do something if you want to continue to
ban this, but it is you're not going to be
(16:34):
able to take it to court because the court's already ruled.
South Supreme Court said no, that's you can't ban this.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Well, and the other thing she pointed out is that
maybe an extra kick in the butt to the gates.
We may kick the gay can down the road again
if you do, if you stand up for this, because
the only way we can take that money and try
to replenty shit from other lines is it'll be coming
out of.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
The H tax.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Well, the H tax hospitality tax, pays for a lot
of these events. You can see a lot of them
schedule this coming month, for instance, for Gay Prie. I mean,
we've got the parade coming down, We've got the kids
reading hour, we got the show me your fake Boosom
Boosom's Saturday thing, whatever that is. Uh So, we got
a lot of a lot of gay pride events in
(17:14):
the City of Columbia, so you're gonna end up paying
on the front end of the back end. Never mind.
So here's the thing. When Alan Wilson came out as
the attorney General said that it is a violation of
state law and the first Amendment to put the ban
in place, the City of Columbia said, don't care. Now
you put a money attacked. Now we got some money
attached to it. At least Daniel Rickhaman apparently is like,
(17:37):
do care because we got to come in Teresa's. Wilson's
already said somebody's got to pay the piper here.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
And just so we're clear, Daniel Rickaman did vote against
putting this band in place back when he was a
council member.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
He didn't.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
He doesn't agree with it. He thinks that the Again,
just so you understand, if you don't know what conversion
therapy is or what they claim it is, it's the
idea that somebody comes to a therapist and says, I'm
struggling with my sexuality. I feel like I'm going gay,
but I don't want to be gay, because if you
want to be gay, there's nobody who can convert you back.
It's kind of like saying I don't want to be
(18:09):
an alcoholic, but I really like being an alcoholic. Nobody
can fix that. But if you're saying I don't want
to be an alcoholic, there's people who can fix it.
It's so they're saying that what's happening is that the
kids are getting maligned by their parents, and that their
parents are forcing them to this therapy and then the
kids do something bad to themselves. Nobody wants anything bad
to happen to anybody. But the idea that you, as
(18:31):
a therapist can't even discuss the idea of trans you're
not sure if you're a boy or a girl. Perhaps
I can help I'm a therapist. You can't help them
unless the answer is you're the other sex. That's insane
that you cannot, as a therapist say you know you
are what you were born.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
And because you're blocking that speech, but kind of flies
in the face of the argument. Here from one of
the OLBGTQ advocates who stood up and said, and here's
a quote out of the article or I think this
is from the state paper. I am asking you to
stand up for what's right in the face of an
oppressive government. That said Dylan Gunnals, president of sc Pride.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
So Dylan is saying that the government, if they allow
free speech, that's oppressive, but if you ban free speech,
that's freedom. See this is what I'm talking about. They're
so confused. Up is down and down is up?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Now.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
State Representative Seth Rose, Democrat Richland, former Richland County Council member,
spoke to reporters and he said that he would hope
that no elected official would actively ask for state level
restrictions to affect local laws. He's right, Kelly, it's never
happened before. If you want to do away with an
ordinance that's been publicly put in place by locally elected officials,
(19:51):
you should do it in a public setting, not behind
the curtain. I guess he's talking about same thing we
talked about in the first segment, having to do with
the proviso out of the state budget. And you cannot
take money away from the City of Columbia residents with
a state law. What do we shut down the whole
General Assembly? You run one of those rainbow flags at
top of the dome over there.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
I mean, look, there are certain cities, like Columbia is
in a deep red state, but it's a city, and
most cities lean left. Ours happens to lean further to
the left than most cities and deep red states. But
we're I guess we're like at Atlanta. Atlanta as a
far left city inside a deep red state. And so
(20:34):
if the State of Georgia passes something, Atlanta's gonna have
to suck it up. And the state of South Carolina
has said it's unconstitutional to do what the city is doing. Look,
you want to try to fool around and make yourself
a sanctuary city as well, you'll be getting some quick
visits from Tom Homan and the crew. I mean, that's
just the way it is. The state is in control
(20:55):
until they let you at the local level take it over.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
So we're still way.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
You're going to confirmation of a position in this argument
from Daniel Rickaman, and it may simply be, look, we
can't afford it.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
I think I think he's trying to walk a tight
wire here. I wish he would come out and be
more sporceful as a leader and just say I don't
agree with this banning of any kind of therapy like this,
and I hope that my fellow board members or whatever
will agree with me and say, we need the money
and we need the freedom of speech. But if that's
not how you feel, then say how you feel, Danielle.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Because in the beginning he even said, we wrote a
law doesn't have any teeth.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Yeah, he did say that as well, So he's trying
to wiggle out at that point too.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Stop wiggling, all right, we just got some breaking news
here on a Friday.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Again.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
We recorded this for broadcast on Saturdays on Fridays from
the Supreme Court. We'll get into some of that coming
up in segment three. And Kelly wants to know your
grandmother's going to have a dream come true. Cudlin with
a double murderer.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
That's the law.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
The Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Jonathan Rush, it's the biggest tax reduction in his biggest
regulation reduction.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Is incredible for Medicaid, Medicare were strengthening, Kelly Nash.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
The Democrats are going to destroy Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
The Jonathan and Kelly showboc oh and depending on which
television coverage you're watching.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Both parties are making the same point. The Republicans are
going to take away your Medicare, your Medicaid.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
And your Social Security.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Okay, now you flipped the channel over and the Democrats
are going to take away You know, it's funny because
today we issue I guess a bye bye party is
going to be held.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Is their cake?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I don't know this is because we record this on Friday,
so I guess yesterday we would have seen Elon Musk's
birthday cake or whatever it is is he gets frog
marched out of there. This has really been a very
huge disappointment the way the dose thing has ended.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
It has and I've been watching the web page, and
you know, we had a lot of people come in
and I was been asking. I've been asking, I've been asking.
I've asked everybody who had an opportunity to talk to,
and they all thought it was going to hit the
two trillion dollar mark that he was out out on
the campaign trail prior to the election that we're going
to cut two trillion dollars in wasteful spending out of
the government. Now I'm not saying after and all of
a sudden, big balls takes over with his committee, and
(23:10):
there's an incredible council, as it were, a persons who
are working for absolutely no money. They're working free to
save American taxpayers waste, fraud and abuse. The Democrats will
stand up and claim that that's not waste fraud of
the abuse, that you're taking away medicare from people. Well, yeah,
if you're an able body of the American and you're
getting medicare, yeah, we're going to take that away from
(23:32):
what about illegals?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Exactly?
Speaker 5 (23:34):
The Yeah, this shows you how addicted to spending all
of DC is. It's not just the Democrats, it's the
whole damn swamp. And I guess the final tote board
is somewhere around one hundred and sixty billion dollars is
what Doze has been able to cut. And you know,
people have been poo pooing it because it's a lot
way short of the two trillion and far short of
(23:56):
the reduced one trillion dollar goal that he had, but
one hundred sixty billion dollars, Jonathan, I ran the numbers
yesterday on that the median income for twenty twenty four
in the US was I think sixty two thousand dollars
a year, and so the federal income obligations on that
it's going to be about fifty four hundred a year.
So basically, the tax dollars of three hundred thousand Americans
(24:18):
were spent on waste and fraud. That's basically the city
of Buffalo. Every one of you, the entire city of Buffalo,
all your money was tinkled down the drain. And so
that's a good thing. We should celebrate the fact that
we saved one hundred and sixty four billion dollars. I
get that it's not as much as we like. I
think that there's going to be a lot more there.
(24:39):
But the fact that they just keep fighting against any
reductions is insane.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
And even in the wake of the news that well,
you're not saving as much money as you thought. I mean,
even in the state of South Carolina, we're talking about
will Elon Musk or the equivalent of Elon Musk come
to the state of South Carolina. We talked to Lieutenant
Governor about this. Certainly, we don't have a budget in
such a way that we would save a tremendous amount
of money. Now I'm not saying there isn't waste fraud
and abuse in our state budget. Certainly there is I
(25:07):
hope that we get that out, oh my god. But nonetheless,
it's also the other things that would fall in the
wake of that, are the regulations that are getting in
the way. Are there other ways we can streamline government?
Are the agencies that don't have to have a continual
increase in their budget every year, And that's always presumed
as a cut. If you want to keep a budget
number the same from twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five,
(25:28):
as you move into twenty five to twenty six, then
that's perceived as a cut. That's just government taught.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Yeah, And there is a move in South Carolina, just
so people are aware of it. His name is Rom Ready.
He launched doge sc and Pamela Evatt said that she's
friends with him, and I'm sure a lot of other
Republicans are friends with rom. He lives down at the
beach and this whole thing started for him over a
property fight. But he's bringing, you know, bringing to the
(25:55):
surface some of the things that he's been able to find.
And again, he's a pretty wealthy guy and he has
some resources, so that's why he's doing it. If you're interested,
you can follow him online. I think it's just doje
sc is the is the X account.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
When now was to go forward, as you mentioned earlier
with who I Call Jack Trapper, has now got himself
trapped with his book he released where he wants to
come clean with what he learned in the aftermath of
the Biden administration. Won't we learned what was so well
hidden behind the veil that surrounded the Oval office. We
have more and more Democrats who seemularly are coming out
(26:29):
now and saying, wow, this is all news to me.
When you go back and look at the video of
like General Milly. General Milly sat right there and told
you he talks to the president like once a week
or more, and he's on top of his game. He said,
he reads all the newspapers. He's always up to speed
on the minutes that are forward to him for his
daily briefing and the like. He asked tough questions and
(26:51):
wants straight answers. None of that was taking place. General
Milly Millie's a liar.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
They're all liars. And if you were if this is
breaking news to you, then you certainly weren't reading anybody
who leans right, you know x accounts. If you go
to at Kelley Nash Radio and start looking at posts
from twenty twenty, you're gonna see just a myriad of
videos and things of that nature where Joe Biden is
making no sense when he speaks, and he hasn't made
(27:16):
sense for years. He was a problem when he was cognizant.
Now that he's not cognizant, it's even worse. And so
they've been trying to hide him and they propped him up.
And I'm happy to see the investigation is really it
seems coming in earnest. It'll be interesting though, because like
with the Doze effect, I had such high hopes for
that and it's kind of been dashed because the swamp
(27:37):
is going to protect itself.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Well.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
One of the things I'm hoping for this time, James Comer,
because you and Jim Jordan. I'm a big fan of
Jim Jordan. Hell, even going all the way back to
the Bengazi hearings to Tree Goudi, and you know, he's
my superhero. We have yet to hit any paydirt on
any of the investigations that we saw previously launched when
the Republicans had the opportunity having to do with a
(27:58):
laptop Orushia, Russia, Russia, or even Benghazi. Nothing ever landed
in a way that anybody was ever held accountable. And
now you're looking at a scenario where even Democrats are
coming out saying and you even heard President hog in
an interview that he realized he was giving the Project
Veritas talking about the people that were really running the
Oval Office while Biden was supposedly in charge. And now
(28:21):
the investigation is going to come forward, and it's going
to be interesting, just based off of the Auto pen
to see how far they're able to follow the trail
of abuse and who is taking authority who was not
elected to be an authority.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Well, you know, Maga mood is pretty down these last
few days. Some good news just to kind of cheer
you up, hopefully. First off, the whole tariff thing that
was reversed. What Thursday night, I guess, so originally they
blocked the Trump tariffs. Now they're back on. We'll see
how that moves forward. Also, though Scotus, in a seven
(28:55):
to two decision, came out with a five hundred thousand
migrants are now eligible for deportation right that had been
stopped by a lower court, but according to the Supreme Court,
the only two who were against it were Sonya Sotomayor
and Catanya Brown. Jackson dissented, but the rest of them
were in on it because the argument had been they
(29:17):
if you're here illegally, you can't be sent back to
a country if you have a legitimate fear of, you know,
being prosecuted for your religion or because of your political
beliefs or anything like that. Well turns out in Nicaragua,
Venezuela and other places that's not a legitimate fear any longer.
So guess what you're heading home.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
I think it was Tuesday that Donald Trump threw out
the number of three thousand per day is what he
would like to see. Tom Holman at the EHS start
the process out of the country three thousand a day.
So I took the three thousand, and then you take
an estimated number, and I though we all know that
that was woefully underestimated because they were talking about eleven
million aliens in the country prior to Biden coming in,
and then you take another eleven at twelve and throw
(30:00):
on top of that. But if you take it just
to estimate a number of twenty million and divide it
by three thousand.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
It takes like.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Fourteen years to be able to go through the entire
process to take the illegals as it is being determined
to realize that could change per day, per court ruling,
but it is a long time so that America could
undo the damage the Biden administration did.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Well, it's not just the bidens.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
I mean, I hate to say, well.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
I did say but prior to it, so you know
it's going to be twenty million, yea. But so yes, absolutely,
this whole border problem. Go to nineteen seventy six for
a movie called The Border with Jack Nicholson. Well, you
could release it today without changing the script. This has
been going on forever.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
So I think that part of the brilliance of the
Trump playing on the deportations is the self deportation. So
they're incentivizing you in some instances with actual cash to
get the hell out of here. In other instances, it's
just the threat that if we get you, you're actually
going to do time in a federal prison, so you
(31:05):
better get the hell out of the country. It's like
you've committed a It's like if I had robbed a
bank or something, and I was like, well, I certainly
don't want to hang around the US. I'd like to,
you know, if can I get to Belize or someplace.
So you're trying to get out of here before they
catch you because you're facing long prison sentences. And then
there's also the idea that you can still get back
(31:25):
in line if we don't catch you here. If you
go ahead and get out of this country and then apply,
you then have an opportunity to come back and be
an American. I think we're going to see. Well, I
know for a fact, I was talking to one officer
for Columbia and he was telling me that he knows
of three illegals who deported themselves in the last month.
So they are going they're getting the hell out of
(31:46):
Dodge while it getting's good.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Well, I know is going into this coming week and
this coming month. My prairie as a James Comer will
deliver and will have Senate hearings as well that will
deliver and in fact, all people accountable, no matter who
they are. Biden, Joe Biden Hunter Biden let the appointed
positions inside the Oval office because we have seen it
before Trump even did it himself. There was a big
(32:10):
push by the MAGA movement to lock her up. Trump
got in a position to follow through on Hillary Clinton's
crimes and didn't do it because of the professional courtesy
we'll call it of politicians not holding people in high
positions accountable. And I'm praying that this thing starts to
dissolve with the way that Democrats are not even turning
on themselves to the point where somebody's gonna be held
(32:30):
accountable because Joe Biden plainly was not in charge, and.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Nobody was buying Hunter Biden's art, So I mean, when's
last time he sold the painting?
Speaker 4 (32:40):
We have one more segment of the Jonathan and Kelly Show.
This ought to scare the hell out of it. If
you're going to be in a nurse in home, Oh,
maybe you got a family member that is you ever
been to Generations of Minetta? They got a special visitor coming.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Jonathan and Kelly Show, Jonathan Rush.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Anybody looking again at the videos and photo evidence of
Joe Biden with your eyes and a little bit of
common sense can see this was a clear cover up.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Kelly Nash, Jill Biden was certainly.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
Complicit in that cover up. There's documentation, video evidence he's
still lying to the American people.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
The Jonathan and Kelly show WOC.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
It'd be interesting to see the race to the bookstore.
Who's going to have the next book out about the
Biden administration and how will Gell look in that one
when Jill's book is going to be a while yet
because she just ain't that deal.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
I'm looking at Jake Tapper, who has fallen off a
cliff in the ratings, and there's things, and a lot
of people are speculating inside the media that it's his
book promotion that is actually killing his show. He's down
like forty one percent in the ratings.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Every time he does an interview, he just keeps getting worse.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Yeah, he should shut up.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
All right.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
As we wrap it up for this week, there was
an interesting article and you may have read it on Wednesday.
This story has been kind of bubbling in the background.
The appeal to block a killer being sent to Aikin
County elder care home hits a roadblock. Court judge's decision
to release a confessed double killer to an elder care
(34:05):
facility in Aikin County may not be appealable. There's not
even a court in the land you can take if
you have a concern about this, because it's following the
state law.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Yeah, the Court of Appeals, in a letter from last
week wrote that they don't think that this is appealable.
And again, Casey Allen Douglas was twenty eight years old
back in twenty eighteen when he confessed to it. He
murdered his girlfriend and her father. And it's a horrible scene.
I don't need to describe it to you, but as
bad as you can make it, it's that in a
little bit extra. And so basically, since twenty eighteen, he's
(34:40):
been in a mental institution, and now that institution has
said he's gone as far as he can go. He's
not going to get any healthier, and he's still not
fit to stand trial. And so the way the law
is apparently written in this state, or the way it's
being interpreted by apparently a lot of peace people, is
(35:01):
if he can't stand trial and he's not getting better
in a mental institution, right, you can't keep him in
the mental institution and you can't send him to prison,
so you have to send him somewhere else. And so
the somewhere else happens to be this elder care facility.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Down in Minetta generations and grandmother was there for a while.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
I mean, that is an unbelievable update, right that, you know,
you got all these seventy five to ninety five year
olds who are just what, here comes a thirty First off,
you're going to stick out like a sore thumb just
because you're thirty.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Five, and the tattoos are going to make it a
little late. Secondly, your generation.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Typically doesn't have as many tattoos as you have, so
although we do appreciate the tattoo of Jesus.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
And when you look that's on his throat and when
you look at Casey Allen Douglas and the eyes, he
looks exactly like you would imagine somebody who's a confessed
double murderer to look. His eyes look absolutely dead.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
A typical nursing facility like this, you gain access to
it and they're security of the doors, and it saw
a security to make sure that some they just don't
wheel themselves out and go for a ride, because that
can become a problem too. There are a lot of
security measures in these facilities, as you might imagine, but
once you get inside, it's pretty open. I mean the hallways,
the doorways, different rooms are pretty much opened. There's some
(36:20):
residents just sitting in wheelchairs or the like, or they're
inside playing bingo. I mean, this is not like a
restricted area.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
I mean, just the legislation has got to be so
horrible because you've written a law where this is the
end result. The way that the legal officials of this
state have interpreted what you wrote was that you cannot
put him in prison. Why why would you say that
somebody who is a confessed double murderer cannot do time
(36:53):
in jail. Why? I don't understand that. I'll never understand that.
And the idea that he has to be put into
some any other institution that's not punishing him. He should
be punished. Whether he understands why or not is not
the point now.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Representative Bill Taylor, Republican Aikin County total constituents, via Facebook
post on the fifteenth of May that Douglas is.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Not in Minetta nor will he be. Okay, I get it.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
I appreciate you coming out with a firm stance on this,
but the question is going to be, now, where is
he and what are you going to do with him?
Because according to state law. You can't just put him
back into another prison facility. You can't take him back
to the mental facility unless you're going to take him home.
I'm not sure how you can. You can say he's
not going to be there, but we still got to
come up with a place for him to be.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Where's home is certainly not with his girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
No, I meant Representative Bill Taylor.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Oh no, I don't think you'll be taking him home? Yeah, Oh, listen.
Is one of those things where we talk about it
all the time. Write a law, and seemingly you would
with that many attorneys in one location, you would have
thought that this would have never been the case, that
you would end up having an open ended scenario that
could put a double killer in the room with your grandma.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
This is it's really ridiculous. And again we prerecord this
on the thirtieth, They have till the thirty first, so
today when we're hearing this the thirty first, So there
may be an update that has happened on Friday and
we haven't heard it yet. But the law is so
poorly written that this is the end result Casey Allen
Douglas murderer, age thirty five, will now be apparently living
(38:27):
in some sort of elder facility for the rest of
his life.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
I'm just imagining my grandmother when she was alive, God
rest herself, she would look at those statutes. I'm sure
she would have to ask, is that Jesus on your neck? Yeah,
and she's gonna get real close to him to take
a good look at it.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
And every person who dies in that elder facility moving forward,
was it natural? Everybody's gonna have to ask the same question. Casey,
were you around? I don't know if I was around
or not. I'm insane. Oh all right, hey, listen, this
is the last day I made.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
May.
Speaker 4 (38:59):
Tomorrow, we'll kick off the big June Pride Fest celebration
here in Columbia.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
You're excited to see patio furniture.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
There's a lot of events scheduled, so check it before
you go to Soda City. Oh okay, I was just
having a vision of Seattle. That's not going to come
to pass. We're not going to have Christians being attacked here.
Oh oh no, no, okay, all right, now, have yourself
a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
It's over.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
I wish that all of you will come back again
next week.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Can you come back next week.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
I'll be back same time next week.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Well show on Pyle. We'll be back next week.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Bring it.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You got to come back next week
