Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome to the Jonathan and Kelly Show. Rush. When Jill and I visited
Maui last week, we saw firsthandthe magnitude of the loss. Kelly Nash
lightly struck my house. We hadto be out of that house for about
seven months. I was repaired becauseso much damage was done to the house
and half the house almost collapsed.And the Jonathan and Kelly shown by the

(00:24):
way they had to set up aspecial mailbox from all the people from Maui
who was sending Joe Biden money tohelp him with his house fire. The
lightning struck the house people in Maui. But but but when he originally told
the story, which I think wascloser to accurate, lightning somehow struck the

(00:46):
pond and then shot into the kitchen. That's right, But the story is
now evolved to it hit the houseand it almost collapsed. Yes, the
house almost collapsed, but the realityof the situation was it was a small,
all kitchen fire. That's when thefire department put out. Yes,
and like just a couple of minutes. That's right, And at no point

(01:07):
was the house lost. Of thehouse was not damaged. Did that contribute
to the death of Bo Biden inany way, did Bo Biden battle the
fire and was it in fact aburn pit? I don't know. That's
a good question. I just don'tunderstand that thing about again. He must
have been trained as a young senator, some sort of media training or something

(01:30):
taught him to always try to puthimself in the situation similar to whatever they're
going through now. To his credit, I believe somewhere in the beginning of
the mumblings he did say it wasnowhere. It was nothing like what you
guys were far worse what I wentthrough problem, you know, And we're
talking more and more and more,particularly after what happened with Mitch McConnell,

(01:55):
which that's sad. It's sad thathe's going through this, and some people
are supposing that this is a sideeffect to Parkinson's. I did not know,
and it is sad. But here'sthe thing. At some point,
you're going to reach a point inyour life when you realize you're not going
to be as productive as you werein your previous years. And once your

(02:19):
brain gets to a point where youcan't draw on the wisdom that you've used
for the past twenty years, thenit's time for you to go enjoy the
twilight years of your life. Soyou're not the kid from fame. You're
not going to live forever. Well, does he have hate in his heart?
Because remember, if you have hatein your heart, you live forever.
He said, that's true. Thatmust be what it is. So

(02:42):
a lot of people are saying thatJoe Biden is cognitively deficient. I think
Sean Hannity says out of every twelveseconds, he woke himself up in the
middle of his sleep the other night, saying that over and over again.
Here's my thing. I'm not surethat he's mentally deficient. In watching him

(03:04):
speak, I think he's trying desperatelyto remember because he's taken in a lot
of information. Kelly, you're thepresident of the United States. According to
Jean KJP, he is up atlike four in the morning because she's up
at four thirty. Yeah, andshe says he outworks her, gotcha.

(03:25):
I'm thinking that Barack Obama himself orone of his associates and that Valerie Jarrett
someone has actually given him all.They've given him too much information on how
to answer the questions, and Ithink he's trying to remember exactly what he's
supposed to say, because he's alreadybeen told what to say. I think

(03:46):
he's just having a hard time absorbingall that information and being able to regurgitate
it without the use of notes.And you notice he hasn't used his notes
in a while. I haven't noticedthat. It used to be he'd keep
the sheet and pull it out,and he always claimed it was to give
him the exact number of American soldiersthat we had lost to this date,

(04:06):
and he wanted to be at areference that because every every soldiers imported.
So how about the ones that diedover in Afghanistan when he pulled out?
Not those people. Well, hewill not be observing or had did not
observe, the second anniversary of theNightmare. Well, now for September eleventh,

(04:29):
he's moved the celebration from or theremembrance of from New York Pennsylvania in
DC. He's now gonna have itin Alaska. Really, I have no
idea why, but he thinks it'simportant to go to Alaska. So I
don't remember Alaska being involved a We'reheavily a part of that nine to eleven

(04:50):
days. You know, it's kindof like this is the guy who went
to the border, and except hewas three hundred miles from where all the
stuff was happening, and he said, I'm at the border, so he
didn't know where he is. It'slike, you know, he can celebrate
Pearl, He'll be celebrating Pearl Harborand Michigan. Okay, I was trying
to give in the benefit of thedoubt. Now he can't remember, you
don't know what's going on. No, he couldn't find two synapses to fire

(05:13):
anywhere within fifty yards of where he'sstanding. But you know, I think
you were also making the point,which is absolutely valid, that it's not
just the cognitive decline. Even athis best, he's a moron, so,
always has been, always will be, as is the entire party.
I mean, and ironically they're theParty of youth and the Party of youth

(05:35):
because they're the party of feelings,they're the party of emotions. They get
that's what fires them up. Andyet you know, you look at the
leadership of the Democratic Party and it'sis there anybody under eighty anymore that leads
it? I mean Stenny Hoyers likeeighty four eighty five, Pelosi's like in

(05:56):
her eighties. Schumer's gotta pushing eightygotta be I mean James eighty three or
something. I mean, the Partyof youth is the party that should have
known better. They have got atight grip on that power and they're not
letting it go. No, that'sthe problem. That's the problem with all
politics. That's why you have aswamp. You have the political class that

(06:23):
was never intended and they will notgo away. Now. I can't wait
to watch Joey read tonight because she, I'm sure is going to play back
at excerpt of the John Eastman interviewthat I did witness it last night with
Laura Ingram. Okay, and LauraIngram was asking him, and I'm sure

(06:46):
this is why he appeared on theprogram, very pointed questions about January of
the sixth, So what did ifyou didn't intend for it to become a
riot? Because he was talking aboutonce the doors or the windows are broken,
then all of our arguments went outthe window. And they knew that,
all right, they did not intendfor a right, What was your

(07:06):
intention then? What would you havehad Vice president then Vice President Mike Pence
to do? And his point wasis that he wanted him to call into
question the slate of electors from severalstates that had allowed during the COVID age
and a court had overruled and putin place procedures for voting and ballots collected

(07:31):
that was not approved by the legislatorled to slay sure of that state.
And there were several states in question, Pennsylvania being the one that obviously comes
to mind first, and he wantedto have a weak minimum for the states
to be able to go back andexamine their own procedures. And her point

(07:54):
was, what might to stop Youcouldn't have determined by the number of scenarios
you've outlined, mind in the previousinterview within a week, you couldn't have
done an investigation to find out theanswer to that. He's no, we
knew it would be. We stilldon't have the answers to that as of
this day, as two and ahalf years later. But what we wanted
the legislators to be able to dowas make sure that they followed the Constitution

(08:16):
of the United States, which plainlyputs the slate of electors and the decks
of nation thereof in the hands ofthe legislators. That's what I'm hearing you
say, yeah, you want tooverthrow a valid election. Well, it's
gonna be pretty hard in a courtof law under a judge who actually is

(08:39):
nonpartisan. And we're keeping told allthese federal judges are nonpartisan. We even
told fani as nonpartisan when we haveher own videotape plainly stating if you put
me in office, I'll go nailDonald Trump's asked to a wall. So
if you're reading from the Constitution,from the witness stands, be a little

(09:00):
hard for the prosecutors to argue.All we got to say is Joe Biden
one. Now what that's all they'regonna say. Joe Biden won. American
people voted for him, eighty onemillion Americans. Next story, Well,
the whole point is not to geta conclusion to the trials. The whole
point is to stretch the trials atpast the election day. Well, I

(09:24):
mean you can also try to stretchout, you know, the whole Joe
Biden corruption story. We've got whatlike seventy percent of Americans now think Joe
Biden's doing something corrupt. Yes,so seventy seven percent think he's seventy percent
of those or inside that seventy seven. I'm sure seventy percent who says to

(09:48):
corrupt. Yeah, I mean,there's overwhelming evidence to anybody who's willing to
look at it, not only didhe steal the election, but that he
has been in a scheme with hisson and several other people to sell American
influence illegally abroad and compromise the securityand safety of all Americans. So with

(10:09):
that in mind, do you wantto do something about it? Can't?
Joe Biden's the Democrat machine holds thelever of power. Republicans can say whatever
they want, but they've already setup a bureaucracy to protect the Democrat Party.
History is written by the victors.Well, that statement is true.

(10:31):
I feel like even the Republicans werehelping them set up this bureaucracy. It
will be hard to argue that point. You know, I'm pretty confident that
what the whole Patriot Act was illegal, and that's all Bush Bush Cheney set

(10:54):
up things that are now federal mandatesand laws and all that sort of stuff.
The whole NSA is a legal inmy opinion. You know, take
it back to Ronald Reagan saying thatthe Board of Education is illegal. We
shouldn't have an education department. WhenJoe Biden said yesterday when they asked him,
was it yesterday of the day beforethey asked him about Mitch McConnell,

(11:18):
Joe Biden said, I literally knowhow perbolely literally just heard about what happened
to Mitch. Okay, and she'sa friend. No, Joe, Mitch
and I are good friends. No, people can't believe that. No good
I don't know why people wouldn't believe. Why would you joke about that?
Yeah, man's having a he's myfriend. This kidding? People think I'd

(11:39):
be friends with that jerk. Nobody'sgoing to a good call and find out
how Mitch is doing. I havesaid before I wouldn't walk across the street
to see Barack Obama. Now,you, on the other hand, have
said that you would. You wouldgreet the president. I look, if
you're the president of the United States, and here's the here's the run.

(12:00):
I don't acknowledge Joe Biden as thelawfully elected president. Oh, he sound
like Hillary Clinton. But I BarackObama was elected, so he was the
president. So if I met him, I would show him all the respect
he deserves. As the would presideif he walked in this room right now,
I would respectfully excuse myself, Okay, respectfully with every ounce of respect

(12:24):
I could muster, which would bekeep my mouth shut, grab my my
crotch, as if I were aboutto urinate in my pants, and then
run out the door. I mean, I have almost as much disdain for
Barack Obama as I do George Bush. But I would, respectfully, you
know, trouble walk cross street tomeet George Bush. Bill Clinton, you

(12:46):
know, I'd walk into a barto meet him because I think he'd be
fun to have a beer with.So you would respect Bill Clinton. But
none of the other presidents. Uh, there's nothing but Jimmy Carter. Jimmy
Carter's still with us, which isamazing. I would sit down and listen
to him preach a Sunday school lesson. I would sit quietly. I'm sure
he could do that. Well.So that's all the living presidents. Correct,

(13:09):
Am I missing anybody? I don'tthink so. So. But here's
the thing. I wouldn't Donald Trump. Obviously, you'd meet him, oh
totally. I would be scrounging forsomething for him to autograph. There you
go. So but here's the thing. When Mitch McConnell is your best friend
and we don't agree on anything politically, but he's my best friend, or

(13:31):
he's one of my best friends,you're telling the world that you guys are
professional wrestlers. See if Mitch McConnellshould be so diem metrically opposed to everything
that you've ever presented, particularly withan open southern border, your ability to
skim to leverage American taxpayer of dollarsto profit yourself, that those three things

(13:58):
stop the list right there. Thosethree things right there should demand that I
can't be your friend. I'm notgoing to be your friend. Well,
if if we were to take itback to like Ronald Reagan's era, when
him and Tip O'Neill were Sharon Beers, they would say that they both have

(14:18):
the best interest of the American peoplein their minds, and they're approaching it
from two different perspectives. That's howpoliticians are supposed to think. But what
I think you're saying is it isbrutally obvious that Joe Biden and the Democratic
Party do not have the best interestsof the American people at heart, and

(14:41):
that they're corrupt, and that they'reselling us out, and they're trying to
deceive people. And if you area Republican who who who either can't see
that or refuses to see that,then I don't have any time for you.
But if you do see it,and you're gonna be nice to somebody
or even respectful to somebody who isbasically committing treason against the country, then

(15:05):
you shouldn't. You shouldn't. Youcan't be friends with somebody. It's like
somebody who's murdering your family. Youcan't be friends with them while they're murdering
your family. Joe Biden is killingAmerica, as is the entire Democratic Party
that includes James Clyburne killing America aswe speak, and you can't tolerate it.
Now. I would certainly think thatif my Mitch McConnell, if the

(15:28):
Mitch McConnell I would want to seein that office, I would see him
walking into the Oval office and sittingdown across from the Resolute desk and having
a stirring conversation about what can andcannot do in common ground. But you're
not gonna be out on the golfcourse playing golf together. See, that's
that's a clear and distinct difference inyour relationship. You both are insiders,

(15:48):
and you both hate Donald Trump.Now I wonder there's a commonality you could
share around a golf Like Kelly said, originally, this is what happens when
you sent somebody this cup DC.Yes, that's where that's I believe the
desire of at least forty percent ofAmericans right now. Blow the whole system

(16:10):
to smitherines. We don't want it. I don't like it. I feel
like that we're being fleeced. Justreplace them all. Yeah, I mean,
it doesn't work anymore. So likethe other I was working on something,
I've forgotten what it was. Recently, I was working on something with
my dad, oh ice maker fromhis refrigerator, and he said, well,

(16:34):
the instructions said you can't don't donot turn it manually. I said,
well why not? He said,because you'll break it. And I
said, hey, look at itagain. It's broken. So we're going
to insult the machine by breaking itbecause it's already broken. So it's we're
either going to throw this away withoutturning it manually, or we're gonna turn

(16:56):
it manually and then throw it away. But either way it ain't working,
and then we moved it manually andmade it work, and then it started
working again. So my point is, it's already broken. Now are you
going to be able to fix it? Because if you can't fix it,
if the Democrats and Republicans are alreadyworking against the interests of the American people,

(17:17):
then it can't be fixed. Andit's broken. Now, either you
can find a way to fix it, or it's already broken to begin with.
So trash it. Yeah, it'sworthless to you as an American,
as a human on this earth.Now. The difference is that that machine
doesn't have literally hundreds of thousands ofpeople working for it to prevent you from

(17:37):
throwing it away. All right,Well, here's the other problem. We
can't even decide which people in themachines are actually the reason it's broken.
And that's why I say, Iunderstand there are some great politicians, and
I mean by great politicians, peoplewhose hearts are in the right place,
people who understand how to fix theproblems, and they've been trained and they're
highly educated in all of it.I say all of that to say,

(18:02):
don't care. Don't care. Ithink that the I think about thirty to
forty percent of Americans are at thepoint of throw out the baby with the
bathwater, the good with the bad, it all goes. And then we
take a shot at reset, likewe need the Hillary Clinton reset button.
That's right, that's what we want. And by the way, at the

(18:32):
reset button work, which it didn'tdo whenever she was storing the emails on
her email. Then you just breakout the bleach, spitting a hammer,
start smashing blackberries. Oh my gosh. All right, so hey, look,
look at the time, we havean opportunity to speak with our Attorney
General, Alan Wilson. Good morning, guy's going to be with you.
I know that your office is exceptionallybusy. I was reading recently about you

(18:55):
joining another group of states having todo with a ruling by a judge and
ten See specifically, as they say, targeted towards drag queens. But you
say, that's not necessarily the narrowscope of this legislation. Absolutely not.
And actually we led South Carolina ledan eighteen state coalition support the Tennessee Attorney
General's defense of a law that theGeneral Assembly in Tennessee passed. So what

(19:18):
happened was the legislature and Tennessee thoughtthat it would be wrong for people to
be able to have sexually explicit entertainmentshows in the presence of children. So
they passed the law saying you can'tdo that. You cannot have any sexually
explicit show in a public space wherechildren could see it or in front of
children. And then of the FederalDistrict Court judge saw that and said that

(19:41):
was an impermissible thing for you todo general assembly, so they basically overturned
the law. We are joining thestate of Tennessee and led seventeen other state
in saying that the court was wrongand it should be overturned on appeal and
the law should be allowed to gointo effect. Let me ask you a
question, Alan Wilson. I amthe Devil's advocate now for drag queens.

(20:03):
So if is it just the factthat they're drag queens that would make it
a sexual performance? For example,could I still do my drag Time Story
Hour. So here's the interesting thing, Kelly, critics for calling this law
a drag show band and you're talkingabout this is about drag queens. But
think about it. Why are peopleupset that the state legislature wants to prohibit

(20:25):
children from sing performances that include,and I'm quoting from the law, prohibit
nudity, sexual excitement, sexual conduct, excess violence, or stato mastic abuse
that appeals predominantly to the purient,shameful, and morbid interest of miners.
They automatically jumped to the conclusion thatthat must mean drag queen. That's interesting,
I mean, because nowhere in thelaw is the word drag queen.

(20:48):
You could be a strip or anexotic dancer a burlesque show. It doesn't
have to be a man dressed asa woman. And here's the thing,
why do while drag queens have todress that way? They can dress like
a stale getty if they want toand read library books. No one's saying
that he can't do that. Youjust can't do anything in a sexualized way
in front of children. That that'swhat's controversial here. Well, would seemed
that from a Columbia, South Carolinapoint of view, given that I've actually

(21:11):
seen the video of our Gay Pridemonths when we had drag queens on stage
in front of small children on mainstreet here in Columbia. And I'm not
sure because I wasn't there, andmaybe it's kind of like the definition that
the Supreme Court justices gave on pornography. I don't know how to describe it,
but I know it when I seeit. So there seems to be

(21:32):
that vague issue again about what issexually explicit? Is it the way that
they're dancing although they're fully clothed.I mean, we I, as a
citizen, don't want our children beingexposed to a lot of things that I
see on the streets in any givenday, let alone on stage during a
pride of it. I was goingto say the T shirts and Myrtle Beach
could be that. That's very true. Well, and I'll tell you.

(21:53):
I mean, they don't leave alot to the imagination. In the law.
They basically prohibit in the presence ofchildren, performances that include nudity,
sexual excitement, sexual conduct, excessviolence, or stato mastic abuse. I
don't know why that's confusing. Again, it doesn't seek to ban people's First
Amendment rights to talk to children,to read the children. You just can't

(22:15):
sexualize them. I don't know whythat's so controversial, But the federal district
judge in Tennessee basically shot this lawdown we're saying the law should be upheld
on appeal, and we're agreeing withthe state of Tennessee who's defending it.
In eighteen other states are with it. And that was that the Texas excuse
me, the Tennessee Supreme Court thatknocked that down or was it it was

(22:36):
a federal district judge, So we'reCircuit Court of Appeals yet, so as
I understand it now, the lawitself, as they would have it described,
is targeting specifically a protected group,which I just learned the LBGTQ community
wants you to know that they area specifically protected group. Now, is

(22:57):
there a definition legally that other groupscould apply to be specifically protected groups?
Like parents? Well, and Melissa, absolutely parents have rights too, I
thought. But you know what's interestingis they keep talking about a protected group.
This doesn't target target a protective group. This targets people that seek to
do entertainment performances that include nudity,sexual assignments, sexual conduct sessive violence,

(23:21):
or stato mastic abuse. I don'tknow how a protected group should be allowed
to do this in front of smallchildren. I just don't get it.
In the the state legislature is presumedto have acted in good faith course of
upheld that you had one or twolegislators out there that the judge clinged onto
their statements where they talked about dragqueen shows, and the judge used that

(23:42):
as a hey, you're targeting dragqueen. But it's kind of like they
don't say gay bill that the Leftkeeps talking about in Florida. Nowhere does
it talk about you can't say gay, doesn't even say that you can't be
gay. It just says that youcan't have you know, you can't spoke
to children below the third grades,you can't have conversations that involve gender or
sexual sexuality instruction. So it's it'snot talking about straight or gay sex.

(24:07):
It's talking about you just can't besexual. It's the third graders can't be
sexual in front of miners. AlanWilson, the Attorney General for South Carolina.
You're defending the Tennessee law. Dowe have a law similar to that
in South Carolina? Not to myknowledge of it. You bet your dollar
I'll defend it if it's path Sowe should probably be writing something like that
right now, because that does soundlike common sense now and not to cut

(24:32):
you off. We do have acontributing to the delinquency of a minor statute
here in South Carolina, so wedo have laws that could be applied.
But this law is very specific andgoes into a little bit more detail.
But I mean, of course,we would certainly defend any law of the
legislature path speaks to protect childers.I can't wait to actually hear an attorney
stand up in the court of lawand say, if these young children want
to be a protected group, theyreally need administration, organization and a stronger

(24:53):
state House lobbyist. Absolutely, well, we got the Attorney General's office and
we don't have to worry about that. But thank you for actually putting together
a word salad, which apparently wehave a lot of attorneys who like word
salads because they pay well. Nowand the state of South Carolina, I
know that we mentioned earlier in thisis that you're a very busy office over
there. I'm seeing more and morethreats to America, and that means threats

(25:15):
to South Carolinians having to do withterrorist ISIS members certainly, and a long
list of people. We know thatit come across the southern border. How
are our efforts in helping the Bidenadministration at least seal to some degree or
make certain the persons that come acrossthe border are vetted more carefully. But
I'm about helping the Biden administration.We're doing everything we can to stop the

(25:37):
Biden administration from hurting our state.You know, Jonathan and Kelly, what
I've told people time and time againwhen it comes to border states, every
state is a border state because everythingthat happens on the southern border that because
you're the northern border for that matter, are the coastal borders, it comes
into every single state in this country. We have had sittinal trafficking, human
traffic, potential terrorism pouring across thesouthern border, and for sure, the

(26:02):
drug trafficking, the cartail trafficking iscoming across the southern border into the state
of South Carolina. We've had multipledrug trafficking cases, We've had sentinel porn
in we've had violent crimes inflated becauseof this, and we've done everything we
can to join lawsuits to stop theBiden administration from me knowing the rule of
law along the border. Is itpossible to sue the Democrat National Committee and

(26:25):
Joe Biden for elder abuse with Joe. You know, it is sad.
I mean it really, I meanI shouldn't laugh. Honestly. I watched
the other day. You know,we're seeing what happened with miss McConnell.
We we're seeing Joe Biden every timehe gets up to give a speech.
When I watched him real it's thefirst time I've watched Joe Biden the live
TV and months when he was inMaui and saw I saw him just kind

(26:48):
of implode on himself. It's scarywhen you watch these folks, you know,
just their cognitive abilities are declining,and it's very sad, and I
don't want to laugh about it,but it is really sad that this man
is where he is with the lackof middle capacity they had. Well,
Speaking for an average South Carolinian,which I know I'm below average, Kelly
would tell you that I appreciate theefforts of the Attorney General's office and making

(27:10):
sure that we're upholding the rights ofSouth Carolinians. And I know that you
have like minded attorney generals in severalstates, not just solely in the Southeast,
and we appreciate and applaud your efforts. Thanks guys, I really appreciate
you out there doing what you dospread the gospel the way you are
