Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jonathan Rush, every single ICE agent who's engaged in this
aggressive overreach trying to hide their identities from the American
people will be unsuccessful.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
In doing that, Kelly Nash.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
And every single one of them, no matter what it takes,
no matter how long it takes, will of course be identified.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Jonathan and Kelly Show.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
We'd already known and heard about or read about or
had reports where we had seen where these ICE agents
have been docked, and a lot of people have been
to their houses. Obviously they're concerned about their families and
the like for doing their job and collecting undocumented people,
primarily starting off with the worst of the worst, as
they say. But now this damn Hakeem just came out
and told you he's going to well, we're going to

(00:44):
put it out in a congressional bulletin.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
What an honorable goal for Hakeem Jeffers and the Democrats. Uh,
We're going to give you the home address of the
agents who you know who've and not only that, will
give you the names of their kids, the schools they
go to. We're and you know, let them know that
they're unwanted. What was it. I'm trying to remember who
was it that went after what's her name, the new

(01:07):
governor of Arkansas, Huckabee. Oh, remember she was in a
restaurant and and and she was complaining because they basically
ran her out of the restaurant. And was it Maxine
Waters who is boldly went to the microphone let them now,
we don't want them here.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
They're not welcome in public anymore. When you see them
at the guests Aleene's station, yeah, yeah, when you see
them in public, you push back.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yeah. So the Ice agents are doing the they're actually
doing the law like that's what they're supposed to do.
And you are upset that they're doing the law against
what you were hoping were going to be your voters,
the illegal immigrants.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
And so as they continue to deport them, more and
more threats are coming in to them personally, which is
why Tom Holman has them wearing masks to try to,
you know, keep their identity a secret. But you have
an honorable goal of we're going to dox these people.
We're going to make sure we can have protests in
front of their houses, we're going to harass their children.
There will be identified, of course, as he yodels it

(02:15):
almost of how bad he's getting on that Oh bad
like that.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Tom Holman. I'm sure I can't wait to see an
interview with him today. He'll he'll be asking Christy, why
are we not arresting this to He just threatened ice
agents we're going to dox them, but he already knows
that being docked. Holman himself is talking about people that
shows up a show up at his house.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
I think Tom will cuff stuff and then take a
bite off as an apple as he takes a game.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
You're through, get in the car, and now we got
new orders. This is not new orders, homand told you
we were going to do this at the very beginning
of the practice. We're going to go after the worst
of the worst. But if you're hanging out around the
worst of the or we just happened to bump into
you on the sidewalk and you're undocumented, you're illegal alien.
You were here illegally. You don't have a visa, you

(03:07):
don't have a work permit. You're not here because you're
claim being refuge status.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
You're not.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
You were gonna take you too. We told you that
in the beginning. Did they want to make sure that
they do what has shown up in popularity polls with
not only just Republicans, but with Democrats. When Donald Trump
says it's going to be the largest mass deportation act
or action, he meant it. And that's what they're doing,
and Americans want it.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Not all Americans.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
What about the five family members of them? They were
innocent family members, Kelly, They're just children. Just did the
children have to pay for the sins of the father?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Were the kids making the flame throwers?

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Well, the I did. Like when Steven Miller a couple
of days ago was asked about one I think it
was the Massachusetts case where they grabbed the kids, and
he was like, no, no, no, no, no, they're not
being We're keeping the families together. That's what we were told.
You wanted. You wanted the families to be kept together.
We're going to keep the families together, whether it's in
prison or in another country. We're going to work very

(04:11):
hard to keep the families united.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
I've seen videos of kids in Gaza. They're out there
making bombs and other explosive devices. Maybe the kids around
the garage with dad when he's getting ready to attack
the pro Israeli supporters.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
You know. I part of it, I think has to
do with the fact that a lot of Americans don't
understand or respect how blessed you are to be an American.
I know we've tried to run it through the mud
and make it seem like you almost should be embarrassed
to be an American. The country founded on slavery and
all this sort of stuff. But the rest of the

(04:51):
world recognizes this is the most whether they recognize that
there is a true God in heaven, they do recognize,
without maybe giving him credit, that this country has been
touched with favor by God. The people in America have
it better than anyone else on planet Earth, and their

(05:13):
opportunities abound. Are poor people do better than some of
the richest around the world. Everybody wants to be an
American because it's just an amazing place to be, and
so it's a special place to be, which means if
it's a special place to be, you don't just flippantly
give it to everybody. And I know they love to

(05:34):
quote the Statue of Liberty, give us you're tired, you're poor,
your huddled masses. The point of that phrase is not
the entire flipping world gets to come here. The point was,
it doesn't matter where you started. It means that you
have an opportunity in America to go to anywhere. You
could be the president. Well maybe not technically the president

(05:54):
is Arnold Schwarzenegger found out, but you can rise to
great heights in the Uni States because of the just
the way the founding fathers constructed this government. And we
have to do a couple of things. One protect the borders.
We also too have to fight against the tyranny of
the federal government. It is growing way too big, it

(06:16):
is getting too powerful. And I know again, yeah, we
love Donald Trump. Everybody loves Donald Trump. Maga loves Trump.
But even Trump is going too far. And I don't
mean because his motives are wrong. What I mean is
it allows future presidents. Imagine a future Kamala Harris presidency

(06:37):
or a Pete Buddhajet. Do you think that Pete would
have any hesitation mayor Pete Booty to say there is
a not an economic crisis. He would call it a
global warming crisis. And because we're in an emergency thing,
I am now outlawing the sale of gasoline in the
United states for thirty days, We're going to take a

(06:59):
pause for the call, let the environment heal for thirty days,
We're not going to sell gasoline. He would absolutely do that,
and then it would be like we're in that scramble mode, like, well,
Congress didn't say that, Pete just declared an emergency and
outlawed gasoline for a month.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
That's a possibility.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, I could totally see that.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
And Pete is and still that guy. I do not
like that guy because he is good. He is good.
Now I'm not talking about his professional or his personal life.
I'm just saying as a professional politician, which he is,
when he gets on camera, he stays on message. He
sounds very measured, very reasonable. He is good. And I

(07:46):
don't think that he's climbing in the Democrat polls.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
I know, I've seen that, and I just don't think
that he's going to be a legit threat. And the
reason for that is he does not have charisma. He's
got the measured tones. He looks like a responsible figure,
but he, in all honesty, the only thing he's ever
like accomplished was becoming the mayor of whatever town he

(08:11):
was the mayor of. I don't even remember which town
it was, like some small town, Yeah, something like that,
some small Indiana town or yeah, I mean that. That's
been his big claim to fame in politics. He's been
appointed to everything else, but he served our nation. But
he did serve it honorably as the Transportation secretary, and

(08:33):
he did not. Yeah, we're we're finding out more and
more about that that while Mayor Pete was out on uh,
I guess it's called paternity leave, even though he put
the fake chest on, so it's paternity leave. But he
was acting like the mother because he put a fake
chest on, the nurser on. Well, I didn't was going
to use all that wording.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Well, if you want to make sure people understand what
it was in case you missed the picture, it's worth
the google.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
H He's got the fake breasts on filled with milk
so he can bond with the child. And that's why
you had to take what was it three weeks now?

Speaker 3 (09:02):
How long I would have to be dead in order
for you to have a photo of me wearing plastic
boobs nestling a child to my bosom. It take at
least ten minutes to get it on me, because I'd
be lifeless.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Well, nowadays, we could do it a ice style. We
could have that circulating on the internet before the end
of the day. There's something true. But Pete, you know,
during his.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
If you can tell that by the way, put the Madonna.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Cone brawl.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, the ice cone. The ice is it like an
ice cream cone? Yeah, like ice cream cone. Put that
one on there and it actually protrudes ice cream.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Put that on the Oh and hell, then I'll be
nuzzling up to exactly I get chocolate in one vanilla
and the other. All right, all right? But Pete, when
he was out on paternity leave, that's when the whole
debacle happened in Palestine, Ohio and or East Palestine. And

(10:01):
he now, according to email records, he was fully aware
of the dangerous chemicals and was one of the people
who said cover it up, let them think everything's fine,
because it's too big of a problem. We're not going
to be able to save those people.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I wondered, do we have confirmation that he was part
of the decision to set it on fire.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
I don't know. I just know that the breaking news
like two days ago was that Pete had emails that
he exchanged with others talking about a cover up, and
you know, and the whole thing about the water is safe,
and they knew it wasn't safe. And now you've got
incredible records of cancer exploding out of that air area.

(10:44):
And again we're talking about four thousand people live there.
So I guess you know, in the infamous words of
Tom Cruise and a few good men, you made the
decision to cut him loose. It's just forty four hundred people.
Just let him die because it would be a national
tragedy if we actually admitted what had just happened here.

(11:04):
And as the Department of Transportation secretary, that falls under
my purview. So I don't want that problem. By the way,
I'm breastfeeding. Can't somebody just cover it up for me?
Oh my?

Speaker 3 (11:18):
You know a couple of other things that happened in
the news yesterday. One of them was a real head turner.
Wait a minute, what when I heard the news originally
that was my response, Wait a minute, what?

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Back that up.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Harvard's got to think the timing on this sucks. So
you got two people associated with the University of Michigan. Ooh,
is it agro terrorism? That's the term? So they have
they did in fact smuggle in what could have been

(11:53):
inserted how I don't know, because I'm not a biologist,
I'm chemist, I'm not any of those things into the
food chain. I guess what would have been COVID part two,
So you would have gotten this into the food chain
and started killing Americans. And now they actually have Chinese

(12:14):
ties and they're based with the University of Michigan.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Well, from what I remember, one is an employee of
the University of Michigan. Her boyfriend is at a university
in China. That's and that's how this whole thing, this
little fun game, got started. But I will you know,
we gotta hedge our bets because this is all coming
from the FBI and Cash Bettell. And as we learned
over the weekend, FBI is too inexperienced. They don't even

(12:40):
know what they're looking at yet. Right, isn't that what
Thissmon told you that? Yeah, look, these guys are juveniles.
They're running around, so in fact, this might be just
a bag of air. We don't know what's in there. Man.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
What we found out also is that, according to Texas,
is that even their best laid plans may not have
even phased us because we kind of like Gallagher. Gallagher
first warned us in the eighties, you got to build
up your resistance to chemicals, as he called them. So
put down that banana and start eating hot dogs. You've
got to build up your resistance to chemicals. So we

(13:16):
found out through MAHA and with RFK Junior some of
the ingredients in our foods that was being distributed and
being served up to Americans every day. According to the
State of Texas, we're now going to have a warning
label that says not recommended for human consumption. Wait a minute,

(13:36):
my M and MS are not recommended for human consumption.
What are these now? Dog snacks? I can't give this
to my dog either. So it may not have even
affected us because we've already built up built up our
resistance to chimicals, as Gallagher would say. But that's a
pretty start. That's a pretty startling marketing problem when you've
got to overcome the disclaimer that your product may not

(13:59):
be recommended for human consumption.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
The thing that they're talking about is something called fusarium,
and fusarium is quote a potential agroterrorism weapon that causes
disease and plants like wheat, corn rice, and barley is
responsible for billions of dollars of economic losses currently around
the world, and it will apparently if it's ingested, causes vomiting,

(14:24):
liver damage, and can lead to reproductive defects both in
humans and livestock. So if the human beings in America
can no longer make babies, we're already kind of taking
ourselves out of the gene pool as it is. But
if that was a that and then you've got the
cows and the whatever can't produce any more offspring, then

(14:47):
I guess it's just a I mean, you're what a
generation a way of if you have no more cows
after this generation, how long do we live?

Speaker 3 (14:55):
So I'm assuming that we're going to be a to
find out. This is where the great debacle the Democrat Party.
They have the history of, in fact, locking up Japanese
Americans during World War Two. That was a Democrat party
did that. So now if the Trump administration continues with
this rejecting college visa programs or applications and sending back

(15:22):
current Chinese students, the Democrats are outraged that you would
even have those words come out of your mouth. Of course,
we have to have Chinese students at Harvard.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Huh well, I mean, and what's going on with that
girl at Harvard who was bringing in like the frog embryos.
I mean, there was like some sort of deal with
that the other day where the judge was like saying,
you can't detain her, even though the FBI is saying
that those frog embryos that she's smuggling into Harvard are
filled with all kinds of containment containments. Right, there's some judge,

(15:58):
I guess, trying to let her go. I know, in
cash Betel, he's almost like a teenager, right, he does
has no clue as to what he's doing.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Andrew Wi is going to tell you that again today.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
But he's on social media today saying this thing in
Michigan is another sobering reminder that the Chinese Communist Party
works round the clock to deploy operatives researchers to infiltrate
American institutions, to target specifically our food supply, which has
grave consequences. Now, you know you brought up COVID two

(16:30):
point zero or whatever, let's not forget that's where it
came from. COVID was launched in conjunction with doctor Deth Fauci.
It was a Chinese launch on the world. They don't
have seem to have any problems killing people in their
own country or because remember, the first person known to
die of COVID was one of the Chinese researchers, and

(16:51):
there's no tears shed for that individual by Chi or
anybody else over there.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
And to reverberate the fear that I had yesterday, what
will it be because if the polling continues, when you
look at the American economy, for instance, and the way
that the consumers are responding, and I know we've got
the big tariffs going on with still aluminum today in
that talk, and how it's going to reverberate through the markets.
But if you took the markets out of it for
a second, which, by the way, if you just say

(17:18):
the markets as a long term view for the past
four months, and we've already recovered from what was Liberations
Day's dramatic drop from the persons who study Wall Street
and then use their statistical studies as we find it
it's more emotionally driven off a headlines dominated by liberal

(17:39):
mindset news presses. But if you take what's going on
with the economy with the American people. And then you
also look at the polling on the eighty twenty polling
that you see constantly about immigration for instance, or otherwise,
what are the Democrats going to do to put the
Republicans or the magacrowt or America back under their control?

(18:02):
And the more stuff that we're seeing out of the Chinese,
and knowing how closely linked they are, not only with
the Biden administration and the UPenn Joe Biden Chinese Studies
of American whatever, we got all of the Democrats who
are linked at the hip with the Chinese, not just
literally like Swalwell, but financially and otherwise, what will be

(18:27):
the Chinese impact that will hit America next? Much like
COVID to make sure that Donald Trump's administration doesn't get
four years of wins.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Well, I'm going to take three minutes here and just
paint a horrific picture. So you've got Lindsey Graham, useful
idiot with Dick Blumenthal over in the Ukraine. A couple
of hours before a peace negotiation is supposed to be
worked on, they apparently encouraging Zelensky to go ahead and

(18:56):
pull off an incredible strike on Russia. Putin has now
come back and said this proves that there is no
peaceful solution. Those are his words. There is no peaceful
solution to this conflict. And I think that what we're
seeing from Putin is he's nowing he is ready to go.
He wanted parts of the Ukraine that he thought were
rushes back. I don't think he cares anymore as much

(19:19):
as he cares about just destroying the Ukraine. He has
a partner in China. We were supposed to have known
about anything that the Ukraine was doing since we signed
an agreement with them. Now' you hear that Trump had
no idea that this was happening. So we're being dragged
into a potential World War III there. Secondly, China last

(19:43):
night stole an election. If you haven't seen this yet,
they stole the election in South Korea. They have now
as of like thirty minutes ago, started imposing communist rule
on South Korea. So you just lost South Korea. South
Korea is going to look like North Korea here in
a couple of days. And at the same time as

(20:05):
you've losed South Korea off the chessboard, expect Taiwan to
be attacked any day now. Taiwan is the number one
producer of chips that is needed for ai If you
lose Taiwan and South Korea and know that they're partnering
with Russia hoping they want America in this thing. The Europeans,

(20:29):
the Europeans are crapping themselves. They have no idea what
to do about any of this. Europe is no longer
a factor except for they can produce a few weapons.
But you know, when people talk about Zelenski, you don't
know who you're talking about. With Zelenski. The European Union
showed last year if you just go and I know

(20:50):
it didn't get reported here, but Zelensky is caught red
handed last year selling the weapons that we gave them
to drug cartels and bad actors around the world. He's
bringing in billions of dollars in cryptocurrency that can't be traced.

(21:10):
But the Europeans have it. They nailed his ass in
September of twenty twenty four. America said, don't see it.
I don't, I don't, I don't know what are you
talking about. Zelensky's taking all of our weapons and selling them.
And then he just says he doesn't have any weapons.
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Didn't we learn with the Hillary Clinton administration with the
Ukrainians prior to Zelensky? And then when you realize that
anybody gets elected to be president of Ukraine, if you
think for one second they're not as corrupt as the
previous administration, because the entire country has a history of corruption,
you're nuts. And this is why when Lindsey Graham and
everybody who's lining it up, we got to give Zelenski

(21:47):
everything he wants. I mean, people like you and I
were catching heat because we're like, why did we want
to prop up this corrupt administration? You're giving money blindly,
you're giving weapons blindly, and we're doing that whole it all.
If you go back and remember when this first thing
first started, the propaganda machine that took over CNN, MSNBC

(22:08):
and Fox News, every damn one of those reports was
the same looking type mother. It was a woman with
a child on her hip and she was yelling, if
you don't come save us, now, Putin will come and
take your democracy as well. And it was always from
the very beginning, nothing but a huge marketing push. And
I was jokingly saying, what did we pick up the

(22:30):
former CNN producers who were hired by hamas. Are they
now working for the Ukrainians? Because this is good shit?
Now it's shit, but it's good shit. Well.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
And the problem is when you think of Zelensky, most
Americans have been taught he's a good guy, maybe in
a little over his head, but a good guy got
a good heart. Zelensky is not a good guy with
a good heart. Whatever adjectives you used to describe Poo,
you can use those same adjectives on Zelenski. This is

(23:03):
not like when MS thirteen is taking over the condos
in Colorado and we're trying to stand with the homeowners Association.
This is like bloods versus crips. And the problem is
that the bloods versus crips a lot of innocent people die.
Currently one point four million dead bodies because Putin and

(23:24):
Zelenski are going at it. Bloods versus Crips have killed
one point four million. If you are gonna get I know,
North Korea has sent soldiers already, Nobody cares about their soldiers,
but they do care about the Chinese soldiers that are
showing up, and they do care about the Chinese weapons
they are getting involved. If you think that one point
four million is a lot of deaths, wait till China

(23:46):
and America decide to jump in on this thing and
drag Europe in on it and Iran and everybody else.
You're gonna have to put about three or four more
zeros on that count.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, body, And given the previous positions to Lindsay Graham,
you can already hear him making the argument about how
we have to send in American troops.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Well, and again, I don't really care a whole lot
about Ukrainian and Russian dead bodies. I mean, I care
it on a human level, but I certainly start caring
when those zeros have American names on them. And that's
what's gonna happen. You're the war machine desperately wants World
War three. They're craving it. They can't they the world

(24:24):
is this is the this is their global reset. This
is how you get a global reset. You have a
world war, and they want America because if America is
not in on the World war, then there is no
world war.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Well, plainly, the war machine was happy when Biden was
in power and the Democrats were in power. As soon
as Trump wine. They got upset. Now we've got to
start working around it. We got to drag America in
this thing.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Well, think about how outrageous Zelensky's been acting. If you're
a guy who wants peace and you got putin coming
to the negotiation table on Tuesday on Sunday, you don't
launch the biggest attack in the history of the Ukraine.
Secret Yeah, you don't do that.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
I've even seen this is Pearl Harbor.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
That they're calling it the Russian Pearl Harbor.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
They're doing peace talks while they're planning and executing an attack.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
It was a beautiful attack, by the way. I mean,
all the military experts are just raving about how brilliant
this was. He basically found a former Romanian disc jockey
who owned a trucking company in Russia, who hated Russia,
wanted to help out the Ukrainians, and they used those
trucks to deploy to get close enough to the Russian

(25:31):
military bases where they could then fly out of the
back of these trucks and go attack bombers. And they
took out I think forty three, which is great. But
also just side note, look at how much property is
owned in the United States by Chinese.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
And do you think that it would be hard for
them to launch a drone attack. I know we're trying
to build the big Golden Dome here, but the Golden
Dome would be absolutely useless.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
We literally have a farm a Chinese farmer, Chinese farmer,
I'll call him. That's cover. We get a Chinese farmer
who borders one of our military installations in Texas.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
It's not just Texas. We've We've got I think eighteen
military bases that have Chinese farm property within a mile
of them.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
This guy borders it.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Hey, here in the state of South Carolina, we thought
we had this handle because we've been seeing all of
the headlines and hearing from bar owners and restaurant owners
who have been whining about the fact that they can't
stand business anymore. I say whining. That word's probably inappropriately used.
They've been complaining, you know, we can't we can't afford it.
We've got to shut down because unless you're going to

(26:40):
be willing to pay one hundred and thirty seven dollars
for a drink, we can't afford our premium prices for insurance.
Given the way that the current laws written that allows
if someone who's involved in an alcohol related accident, allows
for the restaurant at the end to be taken to
court and be responsible for one percent of all the damages.
If you want to get that insurance, you can buy it.

(27:02):
But unfortunately even a lot of insurance agencies don't want
to be a part of it now because those insurance
companies learned they have to go ahead and fold quickly
in the beginning of the negotiation process because it's easier
for them to pay an absorbent amount of money before
it gets to court. But it's still going to court
because you got two or three people listed here as defendants.

(27:22):
One of them was this company. It was and it
was represented by this insurance agency's legal firm. They negotiated
prior to going to court. YadA YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA YadA.
The last guy on the hook is the guy here
locally who owns the restaurant, so now he's got to
pay one hundred percent. So it gets so overwhelming with

(27:44):
the liability the insurance companies said, forget it, we can't
do business here anymore. They stopped offering any insurance in
the state. And when you stop offering it limited number
of suppliers, the price goes up even more. Well, now
we went through all of that supposedly with a tort
refore in particular with the several liability laws having to
do with the scenario I just laid out, So I

(28:05):
thought we were back on the path of we don't
have to worry about our hospitality being impacted so much
since it is such an economic impact in our state,
because we're able to get this law back under some
type of regulation so that it becomes profitable for the
insurance companies even though they're not gaining all of the

(28:25):
premiums they had before. Well, now we're finding out from
the Restaurants Association and the like and different owners all
across the state that that's not exactly the case. We're
still going to have to find a way to ensure
or pay for these premiums because of this law and
the way it was written.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Well, and it doesn't seem like, according to most of
these owners, that they feel like this law does anything
to address it. But there are some interesting pushbacks. We've
got one lawyer who's saying we have too many DUIs
in South Carolina. Literally in the next breath, he's saying,
and we have a younger generation that is not interested

(29:05):
in drinking, so I don't know, maybe they're just hoping
to kill off the older drunk.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
I've been pondering this. So what he's saying is is
that these bars are not seeing a younger generation come
in and buy the fifty dollars old fashion. Meanwhile, the
older people who are still coming have become such a
liability that they'll buy six or seven of the fifty
dollars old fashions and then go out and get an

(29:31):
automobile accident.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
So that's part of the reason you have to run
up the insurance test.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
The restaurants are not making enough money because the younger
generation is not drinking, and of the partisans that are drinking,
they're drinking too much and taking them to the court.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
And then we have the rule where forty percent or
actually it's supposed to be thirty nine percent. I think
of your sales has to be under alcohol, right, You
can't if you sell forty percent or more of your
sales comes from alcohol, then you get hit with this
incredible insurance rate. And as one of the guys for
his name Christian something or other, he owns like the

(30:05):
Black Rooster and a couple of other places around town.
He's saying, ironically, it's the legislators who come in and
they run up these incredible bar tabs with whiskey, and
you know, so that throws everything out of whack. So
they're the ones who are driving up my tabs.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
That's that excuse my scales to where I'm selling more
than forty percent of alcohol because ironically enough, the lawmakers
are coming in and running up a big bar tab.
Now he's got to figure out a way, you know
what may happen. We've all heard the phrase, or we've
seen the sign when you walk in the door to
comedy club in particular, it's a two drink minimum. You
gotta buy at least two drinks. Yeah, because the cover

(30:41):
charge was only fifteen dollars, so now you got about
two drinks. Now we're gonna have bars where you walk
in it's a two entree minimum. We got to get
our food. Our food sales higher than alcohol sales, and
maybe that will cut down on the dui.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Anyway, they're saying that this battle is going to continue
in January when the Assembly gets back into session because
according to most of the persons quoted in the article
that were restaurant owners or bar owners, either one. They're saying,
this doesn't even come close to getting as to where
we need to be able to get in order to
stand business. Yeah, well that's going to be a major impact,

(31:17):
particularly on the coast, given that the hospitality, a lot
of hospitality actually equals alcohol. So hospitality is going to
be heavily impacted by this. Yeah, not too hospitable if
you don't have some alcohol.
