07 31 25 It's The Economy Stupid!

Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Rush turns out that Jerome Powell is simply the Anthony
Fauci of economics, wrong, smug, and completely unaccountable Kelly Nash.
Just last month he told us in his official projections
that GDP was going to come in at one point
four percent. It came in at three percent, more than
double his expectations. Inflation is coming at one point eight

(00:25):
percent annualized, not at but below the Fed's target.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
To the Just and Kelly Show, and I guess next
that economist on the Stuart Vanny Show was to go
back now into a deep dive and a dissection of
all the words and the administrative mandate set forth by
Janet Yellen and the.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Like could be that, well, that guy, the guy that
you just heard talking, he's actually suing Jerome Powell the
rates he wants. He wants those rates cut, and he
wants to have at the very least because he was
One of his big points is the lack of transparency.
If all the data that you have said is needed

(01:05):
in order for us to cut the rates, we've exceeded
all of that data. What are you seeing that we're
not seeing? Please show the court.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
He is the fauci of finance because he keeps moving
the bar. I love that we needed two weeks to
flatten the curve. We had two years of complete shutdown
because we kept moving the bar like this. Good luck
whether your lawsuits, sir, tell it. Start a go fumby page.
We're like to contribute to it. Hey, this is Jonathan
Russ's Kelly Nash Hi there. All right, So it is Thursday,

(01:38):
the thirty first, our last podcast of the week. Tomorrow
will be pre recording the Saturday broadcast of The Jonathan
and Kelly Show, heard exclusively because no other station will
host it on five point sixty and one oh three
point five. Those losers in Florence, they can't handle it.

(01:59):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
I think Charleston has done a great job of selling
all their weekend programming, so they're not going to bump
any paid advertisers for us.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I guess that's what that's about. They're paying damn good
money to be on. Yeah, that's what we are to
the Kelly just buy it? What did just buy the time?
Oh you don't think they'd sell it to us? Oh
they'd sell it to you, all right? Now, would you
get an employee discount. Hell no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
If if you're outbidding the financial planners or the home
renovators of Charleston, you're gonna have to pay a pretty penny.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
All right, So we got the great debate, Well, we
did get a little bit of them behind the scenes,
at least two of the what do they call them,
the Board of Governors. What's the title over there at
the Central Bank with the Fed. What do they call it?
It's it's just the Board of Governors. Yeah, the board
of Governors. He had two of the governors did vote
to cut the rate.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
So and that's the first time in thirty years that
you did not have a unanimous decision on the rate move. Now, interestingly,
I looked up these Board of Governors this morning, and
so you have three Republicans. If you want to college
your own Powell a Republican, there's three, and then there's
four Democrats. All four of the Democrats were put there

(03:04):
by Joe Biden, so they're all new Democrats, and all
four of them, well, I guess, just by definition alone,
if you're a Democrat, you have to hate America. So
not a surprise that they're going to continue to hurt
Americans and not.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
A forest rutch then to continue to hate Trump. If
you hate America, you could easily hate Trump. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, I just saw some catch on MSNBC where the
guy literally jumped over the wall to catch it.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
That was that was amazing.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Anyway, Yeah, back, so all four of the Democrats in
Unison said, screw you America, because, as Trump pointed out,
we're the I think we're the thirty eighth highest interest
rate in the world, and our economy, according to the
FED and their metrics, is the best in the world.

(03:51):
So we should have actually the lowest rates in the world,
and yet we have the thirty eighth highest. So if
you were for every point that the Fed would cut,
we would save three hundred and fifty billion dollars in
interest payments alone on the on our debt. And so
we should be saving about a trillion dollars a year

(04:12):
a trillion dollars a year in interest payments if we
were at the right thing, but more not more importantly,
but also in addition, if you look at the real
estate market, that is a it is a problem and
becoming a bigger problem as there are fewer and fewer
houses to buy because people don't want to refinance or

(04:33):
get out of the current interest rates that they've got,
so they're not selling. They're not and if they're not selling,
that drives prices up. And as the prices go up
and the interest rates are still up, monthly mortgage payments.
Give you an example. The monthly mortgage payment on my
house Ballpark is about two thousand dollars. If you were
to buy min and I bought that house in twenty seventeen, Ballpark,

(04:55):
two thousand a month. Right now, it's fifty eight hundred
a month. You want to buy my house, That's right,
that's flipping insane.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Why would you give up your mortgage? And why would
anybody else ever pick up the mortgage?

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Because Jerome Paul's an a hole exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Now what's interesting is I got to learn more about
this because I only got the tail end of the conversation.
But last night on the briefing with Jensaki, and boy
is she a hottie? I just throw that in. You're
lying and I'm talking about both of them. Both of
those are Hottiessaki, Oh yeah, and Elizabeth Warren. Oh, Elizabeth

(05:31):
Warren was on there, yes, yeah, So she's on there,
and she's talking about in the Housing, Banking, Housing and
Urban Development Committee, in the Banking Committee short that it
is called the Banking Committee, there was a vote to
come out of a conference that she I think pinned
and maybe it was a co pin I don't know,

(05:51):
but nonetheless she's a big proponent of it that would
identify certain areas of the country in order to help
alleviate the pain as you described, increased costs and then
mortgage increased cost as well. And could have been a
little bit of an overlap having to do with the
VA ruling yesterday or THEEO that came out for the VA,
But she's reaching into certain areas to make sure that

(06:15):
people are able to find more affordable housing by manipulating,
as we say, the government's role of stepping in and helping,
not only with construction costs as it may be, by
giving you grants and the like, but manipulating the market
where power won't give you a lower rate, they're going
to give you a lower rate. Anyway, I got to
learn more about what the hell that was, because apparently

(06:35):
it moved out of the House subcommittee, excuse me, the
Senate subcommittee with the one hundred percent vote.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Whenever the government gets involved, it always goes better.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Exactly when and now she really ought to be fighting
with the Republicans against Powell, because half of your argument
is the power problem, the Powel problem.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Now she would say, I'm imagining I'm not Elizabeth Warren,
but I would imagine she'd say, I want higher interest
rates because I need that more people were going to
turn to the government for more assistance, right right, It
would be all about it. And this is the first
I'm hearing that Elizabeth Warren was on with Jensaki. I
think they ought to do a show together, and it
could be The Red Skin in the Redhead, and that

(07:14):
would be a hot show. The Redskin in the Red
Head me. You're flipping through the channels. You see those
two noggins. You don't stop automatically given that I'm a
painfully heterosexual mail. Oh, I'm stopping to look at.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
That eye, candy. But we had here.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
We have a lot of veterans in South Carolina. Thankfully,
a lot of them choose after their time in the
military to come back to South Carolina because a lot
of them got started at Fort Jackson and the such
and one of the major deals that was signed in
the Biden administration was to try to help veterans who
were going to lose their homes. They were falling behind,
and so the way the Biden administration attacked that problem

(07:52):
was for you, the taxpayer, to pay more money to
pick up the slack. Now again, I'm happy that we
were helping veterans save their homes. If you've served this
country honorably, you deserve every honor we can give you.
And that's fantastic. However, because Joe Biden and all his
economists and everybody in his administration are complete boobs, they

(08:15):
did it the most expensive, costly way possible. Donald Trump
yesterday signed a bill that completely changes the game. And
I love the way they think about the difference between
the taxpayer makes the payment. If you miss a payment
and you're a veteran, the taxpayer pays it. That puts
us on the hook for literally billions of dollars of

(08:38):
missed payments a month. Instead, what this new bill does
that Donald Trump signed yesterday is if you're a veteran
and you're in this program and you miss a payment, nothing,
no penalty. The payment is then moved to the back
of the mortgage.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Which still lays the responsibility plainly on the purchase, which
is where it needs to be.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
And so no matter what your history was, so they
may end up having to when they finally do sell
the home, whether the veteran has passed or they just
want to move to another place or whatever, they're still
going to make that payment off. It's not going to
cost the time.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Mike still on the Ledger.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
So literally billions and billions of dollars are going to
be saved by the US taxpayer. And yet Joe Biden
yesterday said this is a horrible idea, horrible.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
He's reckless, He's reckless.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
These people, I can't believe how bad Democrats have become.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
They're just bad people. And as they always invariably as
Joe Biden pointed out, and then for political nature, and
then Elizabeth Warren is pointing out, for political nature. Now
they're all up in arms over the threat that Texas
may actually redistrict of their state having to do with
the US Congress districts, which by the way, there's no

(09:56):
restriction under the Constitution that you have to do it
on the census that well, I think they had a
census data.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
I mean, that's that's in Texas. And yet yesterday Nancy Pelosi,
proud Democrat from California, was bragging openly at fake Jake
Tapper that they were going to redistrict California and pick
up five more Democrat seats. She said, we've already won
the House. We've already won it. Even if we don't
win another seat, we've already won it because we're going

(10:24):
to flip five seats in California.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Gavenusom says that's a retaliation for Texas. California had already
done that years ago. You want to go through the
Democrat states, you want to go back to the history
of gerrymandering to begin with. So as you look at
the redistricting process, as long as the numbers line up,
suppo to be roughly seven hundred and fifty thousand per
houseyat the House of the People, the people's house, the

(10:46):
government closest to the people. So and I was contemplating
this yesterday after Elizabeth not Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, and Gavenusom,
we're so bold in standing up for the American people
in the constitution. Okay, let's just go back to this
first thing, and because I know, and it's hard to
do it because the misrepresentation of the actual facts of

(11:07):
the three fifths of person a compromise which was written
in the Constitution. So and the whole reason was political.
It wasn't because you can't. We were not recognizing an
African American person who was a slave or otherwise as
a whole person. It's not we're discounting you as you're
only three fifths of the person. You're not a whole person.

(11:29):
It was all done because of the political strategicy and
the mathematicians of the Northern States realizing they were about
to give more power to the Southern States, so they
had to find a way to actually restrict the power
of the House representatives. But if you use that measurement
and then you just rough estimate the number of illegal
immigrants in the country today. This is a rough estimate.
So let's say, is what three hundred, three hundred and

(11:51):
thirty million people in the country. Everybody wants to say
there's eleven million illegals in this They were saying that
twenty years ago. For God's sake, did you miss the
Biden administry should and forget about everything else that happened
between twenty years ago and twenty twenty, So there's got
to be at least thirty million illegals right now are
persons who are not legal citizens in the country who

(12:11):
are going to be counted in the constitution. What you've
now done is taken every American citizen and made them
nine tenths of a person.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I guess that's one way of looking at it. Absolutely
the I mean, if there's any good news in that
most of those illegals are going to be in Democrat.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Controlled areas anyway, California and Texas with the two highest
estimated illegal immigration or illegal residents or persons who were
not citizens.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah, I know a lot of libs already in Texas.
And you look at like Jasmine Crockett, Jasmine Crockett pulling
through the roof in Texas right now. The rumor on
the street is that she's going to be the one
to take down Ted Cruz. Wouldn't that be great? I
would absolutely live to see Jasmine Crockett take on Ted Cruise.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's great. Did you see Nancy Pelosi's awkward moment with
Jack Trapper as I call him, which he brought up
Donald Trump's conversation about her and this stuff. I don't
want to talk about that. I don't I don't want to.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Why are you bringing him Why because he named the
bill after you. That's why we're talking to you about it.
He says, you got a legal insider access.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
I don't want to. I don't want to dignify. Just
why do you got to bring that up? Fake that?
I'm here to talk about Medicare.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah, it is a big anniversary for Medicare. We're making
it great for the people again. Well, you're a billionaire.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
After Joe Biden finally beat Medicare. We're all excited. Was it?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
I'm trying to remember who made the the uh said
the quiet part out loud yesterday? Uh in Congress and
they said, well, we already have insider trading laws, and
so a lot of Americans believe that that that Congress
people are already covered by that. However, what the laws basically,

(14:02):
the way it is is just because I know of something,
that doesn't mean that it's insider trading. So they don't
actually like if I'm a congress person and I don't
work for whoever, Microsoft, I'm not a Microsoft employee, but
I happened to get the information because Microsoft had to
come in front of my panel and tell me their plans.

(14:25):
Now the fact that I'm acting on that information, I
can actually tell you after the trade that yes, I
made fifty million dollars on that trade because I heard
what Microsoft was going to do before there was a
general announcement. But that's not insider trading. Most Americans would think,
wait a minute, that's not insider You had insider information,
It wasn't on the news. We didn't all get that information.

(14:47):
And he was making the point of you just look
at during COVID, how many hundreds of millions of dollars
were made by people who work inside Congress based off
information that they were given in February. Because in February
is when all the people came forward and said, this
is what's going on with COVID in February twenty twenty.
The general public has no idea this is happening. But

(15:09):
if you want to get into the hand sanitizer business,
you're going to crush it. You want to get into
the what do they call it, the personal protection business,
You want to get the mask business, the plastic gloves business.
By now, because it's going to quadruple in about two months,
and then once the Republicans start figuring it out that
that's all BS science sell off. So you saw the

(15:35):
stock prices of like hand sanitizers go from a dollar
a share to thirty five dollars a share. So they
bought it at a dollar, they sold it at thirty
five dollars. It's now back to a dollar, and they
just made hundreds of millions of dollars off of this stuff.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
It's like cornering the baby market. Oil before freak parties
ever became a thing with P Diddy, you.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
If you could have interviewed a young P Diddy like
you were working for I don't know what the big
urban magazines were back around. When did he become popular,
Like nineteen ninety six, ninety seven. So in nineteen ninety
five your interview with him mean you think and he says,
I got this new record with Mason. You're like, oh,
and Biggie Small, this is gonna be big. People are
gonna love you. And he's like, the number one thing

(16:15):
I'm gonna do is I'm gonna buy a lot of oil. Oh,
I'm gonna have such freaky parties at my house with
baby oil. Get into the baby oil business because freaky
Dedy is gonna go crazy on this stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
And then right before the right because you work for
the feds, right right before the federal charges are announced, sell,
get out of it, get out, get back out there
and sell sell, go back to writing places. That was
a great movie.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, turn those machines back on.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's great. Yeah, and all that. You know, it's funny
because we get upset because we're seeing that's illegal. No,
it's tine because guess who's writing the loss.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Well, that's why this thing that is you know, hopefully,
I mean Trump is not happy with it, I guess
in its current incarceration, and I guess it's because he
doesn't know anything about it other than Nancy Pelosi voted
for it. So that tells me, I'm with Trump. Whatever
she's voting for to stop her. She's voting yes on it.

(17:20):
It's not going to stop her, and it's not going
to stop the other congress people. So we need to
relook at that.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
And it was one of the things we talked about
with Ralph Norman when he announced on the podcast yesterday
yes that he was running for governors a lot of
things that a doze. You're starting to point out a
lot of things, and government waste and abuse and fraud
is starting to point out or some of the things
that we could do in the state of South Carolina,

(17:47):
and everybody's for that. Now. We're going to find billions
of dollars now, but you know, there's a lot of
opportunity there. It's one of the reasons why one of
our senators, and I will not quote his name because
I can't find an actual, actualbution to this quote, but
they asked one of our senators like thirty years ago
why he didn't run for governor. He said, I can't
afford to pay cut.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
So kind of like actually asking the Clemson tight end
that about ten years ago, why are you not going
to declare for the pros and come back? And he said,
I can't afford to paykuite afford to pay cut. You
can't afford to leave Clemson and go play in the NFL.
They passed that bucket at the church every week.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
At the church. Ah, that's great, It's part of the
noble scholarship, all right, So oh wow, look what I
did there? Stop at come on, there's no evidence to
that of course, there is it talking about the House
of God, all right, so now and God's certainly not
a part of it. I can tell you that anyway,

(18:46):
here in the state of South Carolina, we got some
big thinkers, We got some major planners. We get some
people that look around and we always say to ourselves,
why don't you look around in the other states and
see what they're doing better, and then let's find a
way to take that information at ply in state of
South Carolina. And one of those things as part of
that fruition of a deep thought process here just in
the city of Columbia, has brought us to what is

(19:07):
called a metropol. I've forgotten the word now, need a
reference it in the article. Oh you even looked it
up earlier, and to look it up. But it's more
than just a bus hub. Oh, this is multiple ways
of transportation coming together. Like you could have buses, you
could have a rail, you could have certainly lift an
uber outside. They're all kind of different opportunities for transportation

(19:31):
to become more efficient in the city of Columbia, just
with the comet bus system.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yeah, they're being interviewed or they are interviewing in the
Posting Courier the Columbia City Council member Will Brennan, and
he's very proud he's on the Comet board, and so
I guess he's got a By the way, I wonder,
is the Comet board is that a paid position?

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Be interesting?

Speaker 3 (19:53):
If yes, so it would seem as if it's a
conflict of interest. Then I'm just gonna point that out there.
You're on the board of the whatever it is. In
this instance, it's the Comet bus system that would benefit
from your vote to increase funding.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
So I'm going to back up. I'm not sure that's
the case.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
It says Columbia City Council member Will Brennan, who is
on the Comet Board, votes to give them another thirty
nine million dollars, and that thirty nine million dollars would
be to complete covered bays for up to twenty buses,
and this would be on the corners of Laurel and
Sumter Streets.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I guess.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
And again they've already purchased the land. I guess they haven't. Well,
they're under contract. It hasn't gone through yet. It's four
point four million dollars for seven acres. And then they're
going to spend the other I guess thirty three million
or so to build a thing that would cover twenty buses.
And also Will's dream in the big dreams. Not only

(20:58):
are we going to get the buses right down there
where more people can use them, because right now I
guess it's too crowded at the bus stops or the
big bus stop station downtown or something, but we also
have to look at expanding bus service specifically to Scout
Motors and Blythwood. Hundreds of workers are expected to be
hired there. I'm just wondering. When they sold us on

(21:22):
the idea of Scout Motors, one of the one of
the things that they said, and including Henry McMaster on this,
was that it was going to bring in hundreds of
good paying jobs. And it's also a car manufacturer. Are
we to believe that the people with the good paying
jobs at the car manufacturing spot are going to take

(21:42):
the bus to work? Okay, we'll leave that there for now, ye,
But we're also will Will's got the big Pie in
the sky dreams of building a light rail that will
connect Columbia with Lexington, Blythewood and even as far away
as Charlotte. Now I guess he's probably looking at again,

(22:02):
Will Brennan. I'm assuming Columbia City council member must be
a Democrat, probably very green eyed with envy with how
well California runs itself. And when you look at the
massive success that their rails have had. Now there again,
this is what a decade into their rail oh at
least and over a billion dollars overrun, and not a

(22:24):
mile of track has been a long yet they're already
a billion over and they haven't done anything.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Not a mile.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
But I'm sitting here in the year twenty twenty five.
I think Will is with us in the year twenty
twenty five. Maybe he's not, but I'm going to assume
that it's July of twenty twenty five wherever Will Brennan
and the city council members are in Colombia. And when
I look around and I project out, what do I
expect it to look like in say five or ten years?

(22:53):
What is transportation going to look like in the year
twenty thirty five? Do I expect their going to be
big buses running all over the place? I actually don't.
And I think that it's a pretty safe bet to
say that these self driving vehicles that are already being
implemented as taxis. As recently as last month they started

(23:17):
running them in Atlanta. And in Atlanta you get a Jaguar.
You're riding in a freaking Jaguar that drives itself. It
will take you door to door for just a little
bit more money. It's actually the same amount of money
as an uber.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Well, time is money, so imagine how more efficient that
would be just for your penny per dollar per minute.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
I don't imagine anybody would want to get on a
bus in the future and then have to walk somewhere
when I have the option of having a Jaguar pick
me up at my front door and I don't even
have to chit chat with the driver because there's no driver.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
The high speed rail thing, which is fascinating that he
would look to California or anybody would look to call
for anything for anything, but the high speed rail thing
reminded me of two things. Hey, if you lived in
South Carolina for it doesn't matter how long you've been here.
In the midlands of South Carolina, we've been talking about
building a rail from Columbia to Irmo for the better

(24:14):
part of thirty years. We've already got the rail right there.
There's a trustle going right there on twenty six across
the damn Concharee River. It's right there. I mean, we
can't get that done. And I was reminded as you
were describing it, there was a high speed rail proposal
that apparently still in its proposal form. A proposed high
speed rail line could potentially connect Greenville, Atlanta, and Charlotte.

(24:38):
So we've already got one of these. I don't know
where we are in this process with the Greenville Corridor.
Is that what it's being called. Reaching speeds at two
hundred and twenty miles an hour, I'd be great. We
could build that from the hub all the way out
to Blythwood at two hundred and twenty miles an hour,
be there in about twelve seconds.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
They were kind of conflating the two issues of the
light rail and high speed rail. I'm not against high
speed rail. If it can get to two hundred miles
an hour, I think that's kind of a cool idea.
If there's just very limited stops, like it starts in Charlotte,
next stop is Greenville, next stop is Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Type of thing. You haven't seen the lobbyists for the
airports coming in yet that will be stopped in its tracks.
If it's not going to stop in Greenville. Brother, we're
not gonna stop around. Now. You get down to the
General Assembly with your lobbyists from the Metropolitan Airports Commission,
they get some money to spend, they'll stop that. Well
maybe so, I mean, I know, like, well faster by
land than you can buy air.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
When when I go When I lived in DC and
I used to have to go to New York, a
lot I would take. I used to take the plane,
the shuttle, But it turns out it was a lot
quicker to take the Aessella, not the actual Amtrak, although
this is a division of Amtrak. The Essella is a
much more comfortable ride and much higher speed, many fewer stops,

(25:56):
Like I think between DC and New York. I think
we had like four stops. It like Trenton, New Jersey
was one.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
It was like.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
But when you take the actual Amtrak train going at
half the speed and like triple the stops, it would
take you like four hours to go from New York
to DC. This was like two hours or maybe even less,
And it was quicker than flying because when you flew,
you'd have to land at an airport and then drive
into the city. This way, you're right, you're in the

(26:24):
middle of both cities. So I like the high speed
rail for that. But if you're talking about light rail
that is going to be it's like you're talking about
the telegraph. I mean, it's so last century. We're not
going to use light rail. In the future. People are
going to use self automated driving vehicles. They can pick
them up at their door, and they don't have to

(26:46):
wait at a train station. They don't have to sit
with a homeless person, they don't have to smell funny people.
They ride by themselves to wherever they're going.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
So and looking forward, we're actually looking backward. That's what
I'm afraid will bred. And then this is not just
a bad planning decision. I mean this costs us ultimately,
it's going to cost you hundreds of millions of dollars
to be wrong. Yes, and that's too costly a mistake
South Carolina. But it will get all the people standing

(27:16):
around the current bus station downtown. It will give them
shelter insides if we get them off the street.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Well, again, you're going to shuffle them over to Basically,
I guess where Alan University is. Is that where I'm
to understand this new bus shelter is going to be.
And again, what Donald Trump just signed was it last
week on the Homeless Act?

Speaker 1 (27:36):
I mean that.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Should do it. That should do it. You've basically outlawed
being homeless.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
And I can tell you who's excited about this, Charlotte.
You build that rail all the way to Charlotte, they're
going to be able to move. They're homeless, and they're
downtown to Columbia now in only minutes.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Well, it's gonna be one of those things where it
doesn't matter because the federal government is going to put
them in a sanitarium. We're bringing back the sanitaria. We're
making Sanitarium Street. If you can't figure out how to
live on your own, you're going to need some sort
of government assistance. Sally, and the government assistants is going
to come into sanitarium.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Sally started posting that up about six months ago, and
she put it up there would be some national story,
you know, about mental illness or whatever, like the guy
who went into New York City, and Sally would just
put bring back Ball Street and I'm like, Sugar, the
people reading that have no idea what you're talking about.
I mean, you're got to be as old as you
and me to even remember when Bull Street was in
fat Bull Street for a reason and what it was

(28:33):
there for and why it was built. People in South Carolina,
they didn't even know the origin of Bull Street. But
she puts up all the time, bring back ball Street.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
The Feds are bringing it back now, I mean, and
that's I think that's this is great news because again,
when I played this clip on a different show the
other day, there was an interview I think that the
news reporter was absolutely flabbergasted when they went out on
the streets of Los Angeles to interview the homeless, and
the majority of the homeless people who you barely can

(29:03):
understand a word they're saying because they're so high on drugs.
And he's saying, Donald Trump is outling your existence. He's
gonna make you go live in a like a mental
institution or something until you can live on your own.
And they're like, it's probably a good idea. And the
guy's like what And he's like, well, we have so
many free housing options as it is, we just don't

(29:24):
want to do it because there's something wrong with us.
Somebody needs to work with us and figure out why
we're broken like this, And he's like, but but the
he's online. Yeah, they understand that they're currently in Los Angeles.
There's literally thousands of empty shelters waiting for these people
to move into them. They won't go because they're because
they're crazy. And it's amazing the self awareness that the

(29:47):
crazy people have and go, Donald Trump is right, I
can't do this on my own. I'm not gonna go
live there by myself.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Trump found a new constituency that's classic
