Episode Transcript

(00:00):
The Jonathan and Kelly Show, JonathanRush, former White House aids of yours
who tried to warn you about thepotential conflicts of interest. Nobody warned me
about eptancial conflict and interests. Nobodywarned me about that. Kelly Nash,
Well, my son, my sonwas on his deathbed and the Jonathan and
Kelly Show, Oh you know,hello, Kelly Nash, Hello, thank
you for being near South Carolina.You know. The amazing thing about that

(00:22):
is that his brain who we allagree he's slipping a little bit. But
if you mentioned something about it ofhim being legally accountable, he is right.
They never warned him. They warnedhis staff that his business dealings through
his son or otherwise could be aproblem. That warning came from the Barack
Obama administration, but then the staffnever passed it on because his son was

(00:44):
dying. Yeah, well you're gonnabring that up he did. I didn't.
No, I'm saying you're gonna bringit up to him while he's going
through his warning. Look, heknew that, he knew what exactly what
he's doing. It doesn't matter ifhis staff told him, didn't tell him,
didn't matter if anybody else told him. He and we'll get more into
that and swamp talk. It wasanother bad week for the Bidens and another
bad week for America. When theBidens have a bad week, we have
a bad week, unfortunately. Yeah, and some of the things we're seeing

(01:07):
on national television playing out here inSouth Carolina to a lesser degree, we
get to talk to Shriff leon lotabout some of the things happening here,
particularly in Richland County. That'll bein segment four. We do have a
warning Kelly Nash and an the wayeverybody's starting to see people wearing more mask
Oh yeah, we're trying to rampthat up again. Jonathan. We've had
some Republicans stepping in and get thetruth. We'll share the truth as we

(01:29):
know it coming up here in segmenttwo. But speaking of General Assembly and
Republicans in particular, we have beenhearing for what two and a half years
now about this six week abortion ban. It's actually a lot longer than that.
It was first proposed in December oftwenty eighteen. It first passed in
the House in March, I thinkMarch of twenty nineteen, so it's been

(01:53):
being fought over for now at leastfour years, four years. Everybody's arguing
it for six weeks. A womandoesn't even know she's pregnant within six weeks,
Kelly, and that's when we haveactivity for a heartbeat. The Fetal
Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act isthe official name, and it was signed
into law by Governor McMaster back inMay. On Thursday, However, the

(02:21):
wonderful folks that Planned Parenthood said thatthis is not very definitive wording. The
court may be able to punt ona critical question raised in its own decision
to uphold the dangerous abortion van.But healthcare providers and patients need answers now,
they put into their statement regarding theirlawsuit. Apparently, nowhere in the

(02:45):
law does it say six weeks.Now that is curious, given that six
weeks was the point of the boneof contention, as it were, because
within six weeks, they argued,you cannot tell that you're pregnant, Kelly.
So how would a woman even knowwe have heartbeat activity, given that
that is at that point measured electrically, And apparently, even as the State

(03:07):
Supreme Court was ruling on the constitutionalityof it, which remember they had they
originally put it on a stay fora while. When they came back and
they did approve it. Justice JohnKittridge wrote in the footnote, we leave
for another day the exact point atwhich this band will take effect, And

(03:29):
there was another one in here.I'm trying to find another Supreme Court justice
mentioned something as well about how wedon't know what date you're trying to use.
Just to reiterate the point, JusticeJohn Hugh said, quote, you
just walk yourself into a gigantic wholeof ambiguity. Now, for lawmakers who

(03:49):
write laws and use words specifically,you would think that that would be a
clue that maybe we need to goback and revisit this, revisit the body
of the law. And apparently theAssistant Deputy so Visitor General Thomas Heydrick defended
the six week cut off, andnow he's in court apparently saying this quote.
I think the operative phrase is cardiacactivity, and I think that's probably

(04:12):
what the legislature intended. Okay,I mean it. I'm now under the
belief that the because most of thelawmakers are lawyers, yes, that they
are trying to figure out a wayto write laws that can then be challenged
in court so that their buddies canget paid, and then they themselves or

(04:35):
other buddies can get paid to defendit an assertion. I just don't understand
how you can write laws so badover this is clearly not the first time
we've had laws that have I mean, I hate playing parenthood, I legit
hate these people, But if it'snot mentioned in the law, the actual

(04:56):
then they actually have a case.And I hate to be redundant, but
it goes back to the rash thoughtyou I've heard yesterday. If they were
cooking one of your mom's favorite recipes, let's say a beef stew, and
they put no meat in it,you would be eating it and go,
hey, it tastes good, butsomething's missing in the beef stew. The
beef is not there. Where's thebeef? And if you're just wondering what

(05:18):
kind of effect this would have,Planned parenthood is suggesting it's nine weeks when
the heartbeat is actually right or theheart itself is formed. So I'm just
reading from the paper now. Settingthe band's cut off at nine weeks rather
than six weeks significantly expands abortion accessin South Carolina. The abortion providers say
that in their filing very few abortionsare performed before six weeks. However,

(05:41):
more than half of the abortions havebeen traditionally performed before nine weeks. And
what kind of a difference does thatmake? Well over a sixteen day period
before this law took effect, excuseme, after this law took effect,
we had twelve abortions in the statesixteen days before it. Yeah, we
had one hundred and ninety four.Now, if you figure about half of

(06:05):
those happened before nine weeks, youcan say, roughly, I mean,
that's almost a hundred abortions would stillbe getting done every sixteen days as opposed
to twelve that we're done. Andit might even be more because more people
would become cognizant of you have anine week cut off so they could make

(06:26):
that decision quickly. And now withthe backdrop of the conversation having with the
Feds stepping in and even some ofour own South Carolina, Canada is talking
about drawing a federal line at fifteenweeks, if you really wanted to save
lives, it would be important thatyou focused on the law that you wrote
for your six week abortion band toactually include the terminology of six weeks and

(06:49):
not let the science get in andstart now arguing over electro impulses versus an
actual atrial heart beat. Yeah,and you know, I know a lot
of people like to try the strawman argument. Well what about the people
who don't want it and all thatsort of stuff. I thought that South
Carolina did a great job running somePSAs, or they're starting to get them

(07:14):
on the air now talking about howin our law or on our state,
we have a law called Daniel's Lawwhere you can drop off an infant if
you don't want the infant. Well, so you didn't. You didn't make
the decision to put the child upfor adoption before the birth. But you've
had the baby, You've been sittingat home with the baby for a few
days, few weeks, even upto a few months, because you got

(07:35):
sixty days to drop that child offat a hospital, a fire station,
a police station. No judgment ofyou, no questions asked. You just
say I don't want it anymore andhand it over and then that child will
be taken care of and found ahome. That Obviously there are people who
want to raise children. There's peopleall over this state looking to adopt children.

(07:58):
And we've read enough horrific example thathappened right here in our state.
But the baby being left in atoilet in a truck stop in the upstate.
And so, I mean, justbetween August and September six, they've
had three kids that were dropped offa one day old and Monk's corner,
a three day old was at theSummerville Medical Center and a one day old
up at the McLeod Regional Medical Centerin Marion. So it is happening.

(08:22):
If you don't want the child,but you couldn't get the abortion, you
can still give the child away evenif you didn't put it up for adoption.
So there's lots of alternatives to killingthe baby. Well, we're going
to see how this continues to panout now that we get back into the
court system again. How many timeshas this baby been taken to court?
Man, We just constantly drag thisthing back into the court system. All

(08:45):
right, we'll have to pick thisup obviously as we continue to follow this
process. As we go through nowback over to the Supreme Court, maybe
they'll listen to the words of itmanagement from the justices this time. I
don't know, did you listen tothe words of the experts of the oncoming
pandemic. Don't act like you don'tknow what's coming. It's coming. We'll
talk about it next. The Jonathanand Kelly Show, Jonathan Rush is the

(09:09):
best running mate for this president.He thinks so, and that's what matters.
Kelly Nash. People shouldn't underestimate whatKamal Harsh brings to the table.
Do you think she is the bestrunning mate. She's the vice president of
the United States, So people sayto me, well, why isn't she
doing this with that? Is itbecause she's the vice president? That's the
job description. You don't do thatmuch. The Jonathan and Kelly Show,

(09:31):
Well there's the ringing, ringing endorsementof the week. Yeah, she doesn't
do much. Why don't you doanything because that's the job description. She
was supposed to go fix the border, right the borders are, but she
didn't do that. Anyway, NancyPelosi probably should stop talking. Hey,
South Carolina, this is Jonathan RustersKelly Nash. Best Game Cut coverage today
begins at twelve thirty. I believethat is correct. Christopher Thompson will be

(09:54):
hosting that and I will be apart of that as well. We love
to be a part of it,all right, So now this week was
a very important week. As Iknow you're hearing and you're seeing people wearing
masks. Now I know I amseeing it at the grocery store or wherever.
People are really starting to get thenews that the pandemic is coming back
and this time it's going to beworse. How is it possible that they

(10:15):
don't have they're getting that news andit's coming back, but they're not getting
the news that masks don't work.I'm not sure. How do you only
get selective information on this? It'sreally I don't know. It's frustrating because
you don't you don't know whether tofeel sorry for the people wearing masks or
if you are angry at them,because then they give you that condemning look

(10:37):
like why don't you care about me? Why? I'm starting to get angry,
which I have to and I neversay anything, but I'm starting to
get angry when I see this.Because we had a day long hearing by
a Republican panel and state legislators herein South Carolina about pandemic preparedness. Now,
certainly, anytime we can do anythingbut preparedness. I think everybody would
be in support of it, butI'd like to point out there is no

(10:58):
pandemic, but now gone to anendemic. Yeah, they saw a paradive
witnesses. And according to the PostingCourier article here, it says that the
preparedness goes heavy on anti vaxxert testimony. And the article itself that talks about
these people trumpeted proven falsehoods about COVIDnineteen in the vaccine. Well, yeah,

(11:22):
and so now you've got the PostingCourier and specifically a guy named Alexander
Thompson A Thompson at Posting Courier dotcom if you'd like to send him your
thoughts A Thompson at Posting Courier dotcom. He's definitely attempting to not report,
but rather influence opinion, and youcould tell that by the way he
describes people. Quote a New Yorkattorney whose firm has been paid millions by

(11:46):
a leading anti vaccine group, Sodoubt. Now wait a second, who
is who, Who who has thefunding? Who is donating to a group
that his only concern is to nothave vaccines out there? There is no
that doesn't even make sense. Youunderstand why pharma has interest and Big Farmer

(12:07):
wants to sell a lot of vaccines, and there's a lot of people who
want to spread a lot of casharound on that one. By the way,
just so we're clear on the newvaccine that we have out here,
we have two of them. Okay, I find this shocking and frightening.
Fiser's new vaccine has been tested onten mice and no humans. Maderna tested

(12:33):
it on fifty people over two weeks. One ended up in the hospital and
that's all we got. And thisis the new thing that's been approved,
and they not only is it approved, but the government is requesting everybody over
the age of six months get itimmediately. Well, I can tell you
if doctor Edwards Simmer were here.He's the head of our state of South

(12:54):
Carolina's Department of Health Environment of Control. He said, quote having looked at
the data myself. So I don'tknow what data you got over there,
brother, but when it's reported inReuters, ok after looking at the data
myself, Corona vaccines are safe andeffective. Now he does not give us
the parameters of what he determines tobe safe and effective. Maybe only one

(13:16):
in fifty is safe and effective measure, all right? And I think America,
because this is a drumbeat in themedia that's been going on for quite
a while. Not the new whatis this one called again, the kracking.
We've released the cracking at you thistime, but the previous waves of
COVID and then the vaccines, thevaccines have been nothing but trumpeted and heralded

(13:41):
and put in the most gleaming lightever since they've come out, even when
Donald Trump was still the president.And so why is it that most Americans
aren't getting it? And we knowthat most Americans aren't getting it because you
could just look at the data.In a country of over three hundred and
thirty million Americans, in the lastboot uster wave, only seventeen million got

(14:03):
it. Now we have had adrop off of over two hundred million who
had it and chose not to getit. Now we're downe to seventeen million.
Why because they see it doesn't work. People who get the vaccine get
COVID actually at a higher rate thanpeople who don't get it. And I
should go back because doctor Edwards Simmer, the man who probably would take issue

(14:24):
with your facts because he's looking atthe data, went on to say,
are their side effects, Yes,and I think people need to know about
those. But I think for mostpeople, not everyone, but for most
people, the benefits of the vaccineoutweigh the risk. But here's the question
that I have for doctor simmer now. And I realize this is all anecdotal
information, but what do you sayto the specifics that we're aware of because

(14:46):
we know people who have actually bloggedthemselves, or we've seen medical reports and
persons who had serious adverse young healthymales, in particular a myocarditis. We
know of these things that are goingon. What do you say? What
do you say about that? Howdo you help people understand what you're saying

(15:07):
is true, is that you're betteroff taking the vaccine, which, by
the way, hasn't be tested onhumans more than at this case a sample
size of fifty none with Fiser zeropeople have tried this. Outside of Bill
Gates, who do we know thatis assuring us that all this is safe
and effective? Well, and Imean, look, we had this discussion

(15:28):
back in twenty twenty when we weretalking about coming out with these things.
You're you're supposed to test these thingsliterally for like a decade because a lot
of the side effects don't show upfor years, so nobody knows anything.
And if these scientists were being true, they would tell you that, but

(15:48):
they're not. And then, bythe way, you've all signed a waiver
when you got your vaccine that saysyou can't go back and sue the companies
for any you know, adverse effectsthat pop up later on. I'll just
also point out that the most deadlystrain of COVID was the first strain because
your body, nobody had ever seenit. There was no immune system that
was built to handle that yet.So if you look in twenty twenty one,

(16:12):
we had four hundred and fifteen thousand, three hundred ninety nine people die.
I'm always going to use the phrasewith COVID. Okay, last year,
which is the last full year,we had about half of that die.
Again, most people are not gettingthe vaccine anymore. We're down to
seventeen percent got the booster, soyou're not immune, you're you're not vaccinated

(16:32):
if you didn't get the booster.So two hundred and forty four, nine
hundred and eighty six died were yourbody, And that's with COVID that's not
of COVID. There's a big distinction, but it's affecting people less and less
as we get more and more usedto it. People are gonna die of
COVID every year for as long asthere's human beings on this earth, same

(16:53):
as they're going to die of theflu. You can't stop that. Get
used to it. Live, Butthe worst thing you can do is to
part start putting masks on, startdoing quarantines, start acting as if it's
the end of the world, becausethat's actually how people increase death. And
we were supposing how do people getthe wrong information? Well, let me
just read this paragraph. I've beenlooking forward to you all day. End

(17:17):
quote said Senator Tom Corbyn, Republicantraveler's rest before doctor Robert E. Jackson,
an Upstate family doctor who has treatedhundreds of patients with IVRA mecton.
And the Posting Courier wants you toknow I met is a horse d warmer.
That's the only way it's described inthe article. Not the same thing,

(17:37):
and it testified before the Coronavirus Committeehere. So the information in the
Posting Courier tells you that I isspecifically and according to this article only for
horse medical purposes, which we knowfrom the USDA is not true. There
have been millions of Americans who haveused ivramectin, not what they use for

(18:00):
the horses. This is a differentformulation for about five different things, and
they've used it for like fifty years. Yeah, and it's very inexpensive and
nobody's getting rich off ivermectin. Andso that's a motivator. You know,
if Fiser and Maderna have come out, and by the way, Fiser and
Maderna are now charging more than fourtimes what they charged last year for these

(18:23):
vaccine shots. And what I mean, is it about the money. I
don't know, it seems like itmight be. Is it about the money?
That's a great question to lead intoSegment three Swamp Talk. Next The
Jonathan and Kelly Show, John Shoby, I want to get your reaction the
administration's reaction to President Way you seesaying that the Irranians will spend the six

(18:47):
billion dollars quote wherever we need it. No, that's not true, Kelly
Nash. We will have visibility inoversight, so this is not a blank
check for them. The Jonathan andKelly Show, certainly it's good, there's
gonna be over. What could gowrong with handing one of your known pro
cell proclaimed enemies six billion dollars?And I mean for them to laugh in

(19:08):
Lester Holt's face when he asked aboutthat, and the President of Iran was
like, it's our money, We'regonna do with it whatever we want.
And the deal hadn't even been signedyet, and he's and they're mocking the
bidens. You know, when wehill no one accountable when we first flew
in how many different currencies I thinkwe pay him when we had to fly
on the sea thirteen to and thatwas only a billion, right, that's

(19:30):
right? And nobody hilled the Obamaadministration accountable. And this is what happens.
Remember bo Bergdahl, and bo Burgdahlis a trader to the United States
and that and I think bo Burgdallwould tell you he was a trader to
the United States. I mean,he walked off his post and tried to
sign up basically for I think itwas ISIS, and they took him prisoner

(19:52):
instead. And we ended up underthe Obama administration giving up very day injurious
terrorists and exchange for bo Bergdahl,who you know, hates America. So
we've traded people who hate America andare dangerous to incompetent boobs who just hate
America. And I don't know,like, who is it. Bob Menendez,

(20:18):
the corrupt senator from New Jersey whosaid when he heard about this deal,
I think we're only incentivizing people tokidnap Americans if we're willing to pay
over a billion dollars for each one. So, I mean, all Americans
just got a little less safe whereveryou are in the world thanks to the
actions this week by the Biden administration. It's just totally amazing how many stupid

(20:40):
conversations go on in public, outloud and broadcast and then covered on the
news. For instance, when themayor of New York City is demanding we
give work permits to illegal aliens,immigrants, whatever word you want to use,
I don't care. You're telling everybodywe're going to give you a work
permit when you get here, andthey know already because they've been told in
radio ads, and you know,whatever else the cartel uses, and it's

(21:00):
not the cartel's fault. We're tellingthem how to incentivize people to come here
and you charge them whatever you wantto get them across the rio, but
once they get into the US,we're going to give them not only all
the benefits, we're going to makesure you get a job. The incentivization
of the onslaught of people across oursouthern border is just phenomenal. How it's
being not only touted by the administration, repeated by the nightly news, but

(21:25):
seemingly nobody other than a couple ofRepublican House members want to stand up and
say anything. Missie McConnell has saidnothing. If you want to talk about
the border, you got that Augusteighth email that the Florida Attorney General released
this week talking about how in theemail the administration is directing the border patrol.
We're very concerned about the book outtargets. In other words, people

(21:49):
are noticing that the amount of peoplethat we're taking in is a lot more,
and so we're very concerned about that. Stop doing it. In other
words, let him go, don'ttalk to him, don't process them,
just let them get into the country. And this is the thing that infuriates
Americans because we don't even know thelaw. As the average American, we

(22:11):
don't know how the border patrol operates. We don't know the policies and procedures
of the Department of Homeland Security.But when you listen to my Orcus sit
there with that condescending, frigging toneof his and preach basically to any Republican
on the House or the Senate whowants to ask questions about what's going on
in the border, and how hetells you that we're following the American law.
You damn right, you're following thelaw. You're following it so closely.

(22:33):
You have not missed a trick ofhow to fund NGOs to actually facilitate
people coming across the border, howto use the new app that you created
to five people directly in not justacross the border, of it to an
American city where you would have shuttledthem anyway because of the process we have
prior at the border, and youwanted to do away with that process so
the American people couldn't see it ontelevision anymore. It is just so insulting.

(22:56):
How we listen to this guy talkto Republicans and he's absolutely be able
to tell you the truth. Weare following the law. Yeah, but
you're averting it in every way,shape or from him. But you're missing
the spirit of the law. You'reoutraging Americans, but nobody's going to hold
you accountable, just like we're notgonna hold Joe Biden accountable for the payment
to the Uranians. Not only arewe're not going to hold Joe Biden accountable
for that, but Joe Biden's sonjust got another sweetheart deal this week.

(23:18):
I mean, people, if you'renot paying close attention, the big news
is that he's that Hunter Biden isfacing twenty five years in prison. Okay,
that sounds intimidating. And like we'vealways said, don't care about Hunter
Biden. Don't give a rip aboutthe crackhead using hookers all that. Don't
care about him, care about JoeBiden, care about did he sell our

(23:40):
country out? Now? Hunter?This is a brilliant strategy put together by
the same guy, David Weiss,who tried to give him the sweetheart deal
the first time, and it wasdenied because it got exposed by the media
Fox News Thankfully a judge pointed thatwell, and I don't even know that
the judge would have made a bigdeal about it, because if you got
two. But because there was somuch media bruhaha about that sweetheart deal,

(24:06):
she stood up and stopped it.Well, now he's facing twenty five years.
So what's going to happen here,Well, nothing's going to happen until
after the election. Basically, nomatter what happens to Hunter Biden, if
he's found guilty before the election,whatever, after the election, whether Joe
Biden is the president or not thepresident, after the election, he's going

(24:26):
to pardon Hunter Biden. That's comingon top of it. It now is
able for the Biden administration to say, look, the law has been followed,
there's not a shred of evidence thatJoe has done anything wrong. Yet
there's a mountain of evidence that Joehas done a lot wrong. Exactly,

(24:47):
it's more insulting. I don't equallyinsulting is listening to my orchis you hear
or see Chuck Schumer come out andtell you that these Republicans they have absolutely
no evidence according to themselves, theyhave no evidence there's anything nefarious going on
with the Biden family. And certainlythe description of the Biden crime family is
way off base. Not only isthis a distraction from what's going on with

(25:08):
Trump, which is why they're doingthis. The American people are sitting to
get home going. Hey, brother, everybody gets it. We all see
it. If you weren't getting yourstocks front loaded because you represent the district
this Wall Street, you wouldn't bea billionaire to begin with. And not
every American has a revenue stream directlyfrom China. So we're down here trying

(25:29):
to figure out how to feed ourfamilies. I'm telling you, this is
the equation I believe that the Democratsare missing with them continuing to push Biden
for the presidency. We have aserious economic problem. It's the economy stupid
all over again, and Americans arethis time more insulted by it because we're
not getting paid under the table bythe people who would do us harm,

(25:51):
like the Biden family. Joe Bidenis so corrupt that his nickname in the
nineteen seventies was the Senator from MBNA. That was his nickname in the seventies.
Joe Biden did so much corrupt crapto expand MBNA from Delaware back in

(26:11):
the day that when Joe Biden's son, this dolt, finally graduated from college,
they gave him some cushy job inwhich they admitted, and he admitted
himself. He never went to work, but he was paid millions by MBNA.
Joe Biden doesn't love his son whenpeople say we're prosecuting because he loves

(26:32):
his son. He loves his sonthe way a crime lord loves an underling.
He checks in on him to makesure you're getting the money. That's
all. That's all this has beenabout. Does Hunter provide Hunter? Look,
you've got emails or excuse me?Text messages from Hunter to his sister,
Joe Biden's daughter, and which he'scomplaining that Dad's taken too much money

(26:55):
from me. I gotta pay allthe bills. I gotta pay for all
the houses. I gotta pay forall the cars. I gotta pay for
everything. That's what an underling does. You get money corruptly and then you
pass it up the chain. Thefact that he didn't write a check to
Joe is not lack of a smokinggun. The fact that Joe Biden's living
in multimillion dollar houses that's the smokinggun. Well, and the amazing part

(27:17):
is as they sit here and theywring their hands, they're very concerned about
the Republican Party, because this isgoing to lead to the end of the
democracy if we if the Republican Partyimplodes, then we're not Because Nancy Pelosi
would tell you the Republican Party usedto have so many good arguments and they
created so much great legislation. Becauseiron sharpens iron, she goes through all
that horse crap. They're trying tocrush the Republican Party because they know Donald

(27:42):
Trump is the biggest threat to Americaperiod. Plainly, they don't see Iran
as the biggest threat. They wouldn'thave given him six billion dollars. But
as Kelly said, I remember thiswhen Donald Trump first started making his run
and they started talking about Russia,RUSSA, Russia. Kelly said, this
is what it's like when you tryto turn Washington, DC upside down,

(28:03):
when you try to drain the swamp. This is what it looks like.
Well, and it's funny. Justgetting back to the corruption of Joe Biden.
I'm looking at a story from proPublica, which is a far left
magazine, back in two thousand andeight, talking about how corrupt Joe Biden
is with NBNA and how he's notfit for office. Is what they're saying

(28:25):
that he's got a long history ofselling out America as a senator when you
don't really have a whole lot ofjuice yet because you're you're one of a
hundred voices at that point. Butoh my gosh, now he's going to
become the vice president. Oh suddenlyhe's got a lot more. Despite what
Nancy Pelosi tells you, there maynot be a lot of job responsibilities,
but you can get a lot donewell. And this is when the Republicans
stepped into the Democrats, except forDavid Ignatius, who apparently is starting the

(28:49):
big thropping head on MSNBC, startingto wake up that this may be a
problem. The Democrats best candidate tolead us forward in twenty twenty four is
absolutely, without question, Joe Biden. And when they tell you that,
at the same time, we knowwe can't get Nancy Pelosi, when she
was a Speaker of the House toactually write legislation that keeps the House members

(29:11):
from enriching themselves by using inside ofinformation from their panel discussions or otherwise to
enrich themselves using the stock market.My god, Paul Pelosi's the best investor
ever. Warren Buffett should be overthere asking him how the hell do you
do it? Well, everybody inthe American knows how you do it.
You get inside of information from yourwife, and then you're making billions of

(29:32):
frigging dollars for your family. Sowho's gonna tell wait, minut, who's
going to stand up and suddenly writelegislation against that on the other side of
the coin. Then you see whereAmericans again, this is the problem with
the twenty twenty four election, thatthey don't see coming because they don't come
out of their ivorytiers to understand howwe're living down here. They don't understand
the Democrats and Republicans are like,are trying to figure out how to pay

(29:53):
the bills and feed their family,and how to give a damn what Paul
Krugman tells you. The economy isnot perking along great and Biden amis is
not working well. The average American, by the way, since the Biden
administration has taken the office, haslost five thousand dollars in buying power.
Five thousand dollars annually is what you'velost because your salaries may have been increasing

(30:14):
at two percent, but the economyhas had an inflation at five to ten
percent. So it's great when they'relike, I went from twelve percent down
to seven percent. We've cut theinflation by five percent. No, you
didn't. I wanted to get thissooner because I want to watch Key his
head explode. So we've only gotroughly sixty seconds left, Kelly, Okay,
here's your two words. Mitt Romney. Oh my gosh, is Mitt

(30:36):
Romney trying to be the spoiler?Is Mitt Romney going to run for president?
As Mitt Romney trying to just dowhatever you can to stop Donald Trump
from being the president. This guyjust go away? Could he prove himself
to be the ultimate insider? Andalthough he looks super clean, he's the
dirtiest, filthiest of all the typeRepublicans who live in the swamp. Oh
and they're crying over him over atMSNBC and the Liberal News. The greatest

(31:00):
Publican ever. He's a Republican witha spine. Oh my gosh, Oh
my god, Mitt Romney. Couldhe be part of Is he going to
be the presidential candidate for the NoLabels Party? That's the rumor. But
when he resigned, I was like, you know, well bye, oh
my, it is driving America craziest, driving me nuts. I have to

(31:22):
duct take my head together until wecan talk again on Monday. Now,
we do have an opportunity. Wehad an opportunity this week we speak with
Sheriff and Leon Lotte. We havesome issues and he put his foot down
hard about three weeks ago. Askhim about that and some of the things
that we're currently facing in the legislatureand how we can help here in South
Carolina, not just in Richland County. We'll speak with him next The Jonathan

(31:44):
and Kelly Show. Jonathan Rush,I'd like to start with something funny and
Kelly nash Shore and I have somethingin common. Were both from Scranton,
Pennsylvania. I wish I had himplaying in my high school ball club and
I was playing, but I wouldhave could have been an All American?
Have you from me? The Jonathanand Kelly Show. Oh, we had
to wrap it up this week witha little bit of comedy before we get

(32:06):
into our final segment. Here,boy, he sure doesn't know how to
be very solemn with the September eleventhremembrance. This week, we had an
opportunity to speak with Richly Kennis,Sheriff, Leon Lotte, gentlemen. Good
to be with you again. Wemissed a couple of months here and we
did had some conflicts, but havea lot of talk about today, So
it's good to be here with youand your listeners. The last time I
saw you, you were in afoul mood and it was in a press

(32:29):
conference. The ninety seventh drive byshooting up this year. That's a staggering
number. It is starting, andthat's just the sign of the times right
now with these young gang bangers,I want to be gang bangers and drive
by somebody's house on the cover ofdarkness and just start shooting a bunch of
bullets in the house and then driveoff and you know, just skirt away
like a little snake or something.So now you made a pretty profound promise.

(32:52):
We fulfilled that promise too. Weblew doors off of houses for about
week and a half and arrest thefour young people that were involved in shooting
my deputy, but then rested someother gang members too. So anybody who
gets shot is bad. But whenyou shoot a police officer, I think
that shows that you're not scared ofanybody whatsoever. Right, there's kind of

(33:14):
an unwritten line that you have,you don't attack a cop. When they
did that, then you know,basically it's war at that point. And
so we had to make sure thatwe went to war, and we did
and we've had some good results ofit. And the Ultimate Act of the
Finance used to be rare, butwe read about it now all the time.
We even read about ambushes. Fortunatelyit hasn't happened around here. That's
the first time that we've had someonethat's targeted a coppment. It's not gonna

(33:37):
be tolerated. So we had tomake sure that we made a statement too.
So that's why I went public withit and said, look, this
is what happened, and this iswhat's about to happen. We did apprehend
all four they were sixteen and seventeenyears old. They're gonna be held accountable
for it. They're still in jailwhen no bonds set on them. Sure
flee a lot with us this morning. And so my question that just popped

(33:57):
into my head was, I don'tremember if it was a year or maybe
even two years ago, there weresome sort of discussion about trying to unite
the gangs and have all these peoplewere gonna, you know, kind of
try to curb gang violence through peace. Happened, and it really did happen,
and they're still working. I've heardfrom them because after this happened,
and what you've got is you've gotyour older gang members who basically know the

(34:22):
rules, and then you have theseyounger gang members who don't listen to anybody.
So I've had some quite a fewconversations with the older gang members now
after all this happened, and they'rethey're trying to get to these young people,
but it's being difficult to young Sothis is a new breed of gangs.
This is this is a new breed, and they're not even respecting their

(34:42):
their older gang members. They're stillout there in the community working, they're
still doing things. They're doing asmuch as they can, and they know
that this is not good for business. It's not good for them. And
the spotlight that's been put on them. Speaking of not good for business,
what's going on specifically with sand Hiels, because I know the that line pretty
much said deputies aren't going to bethere anymore. Yeah, well, deputies
are not going to be there's babysitters, you know, if there's a crime

(35:05):
committee, we're gonna respond. Butwhat's happening is is that the so called
parents are dropping off these ten,twelve, thirteen, fourteen year old kids
that it'll just Sandhill and just leavingthem there and letting them run wild and
do whatever the heck they want todo. The movie theater had some big
special or four dollars. You hadkids from Greenville that were being dropped off
there and had a huge fight.We had to call it every deputy in

(35:27):
Richland County to respond to get ahandle on it. Well, that takes
all my resources. Now, ifyour house is getting broken into it,
I ain't got a deputy to sendto you. I said enough is enough.
And the village sand Hill is ownedby it so many different people now,
so there's no coordination of what needsto be done out there. So
I put it back down on them, but also put it on these parents.
So just dropping these kids off,a kid who doesn't have any parents

(35:52):
supervision is going to do what theheck they want to do and run wild.
And that's what's happening is. SoI never said we would not respond
there, and we were just notgoing to have our deputies just staying there
and babysitting. So one of theproblems that we've been having forever, it
seems, is the catch and releaseof the criminals. You catch them,
and lawmakers and the courts keep releasingthese people. How has there been any

(36:15):
headway made on that. We've actuallydid make some progress. I think that
we started shedding some sunlight on thisover a year ago and started showing just
how these repeat offenders keep getting outand keep, you know, repeating their
crimes. Now, General Assembly passedsome bond reforms, so we got some
of that. We we got somemore work to do, but we did

(36:37):
get some progress. So now matchtsare required to fill out a form when
they set bond on someone. Isit a gang member, a gun involved
in it, or they're already outon bond or their on probation, their
criminal records, so you actually haveto check these things off now, so
there's a written document. Never hadthat before. Now there needs to be
accountability for somebody who breaks the lawand continues to break law. I think

(37:00):
the community has had enough, thelegislators had enough, the governor got behind
it. I remember one time yousaid something about there was a certain number
of people that did the vast majorityof the crimes in rich Land, right,
So what is that like a hundredpeople in rich Probably a little bit
more than that, but it's thesame repeat offenders. I dealt with people
all the time and said, youknow, I have lots of customers,

(37:21):
and they tend to be repeat customers. Yeah. So there's only one place
that we can put them that's goingto protect our community, and that's behind
bars. Not everybody needs to stayin I've never said that, but the
ones who demonstrate their threat to ourcommunity and that they're not going to the
law, then they need to belocked up. Our lives would be significantly
and better if we could get abouttwo hundred people off the streets and rich

(37:43):
I can tell you the two hundredwho they are, and I'd say every
one of them already got outstanding chargeson them. They just haven't been to
court yet. Our court system movedvery slowly, and so these people get
out and they keep breaking along,keep getting arrested. Well, we're seeing
cities now that letting get way thehell out of control. And thank you
again because I think for you havequite the reputation I'm sure withinside organizations,

(38:07):
A light to come in like wesaw was an Antifa group. I can't
remember which one of the Splutter groupscame in. They didn't last long.
Yeah, they got the memo,don't come back here. You got a
lot of repeat customers, but theydon't give you five star reviews. When
we saw you on television of thatpress conference, I thought if I was
one of those guys, I mightbe in Canada by now, because you

(38:27):
can tell by the look in yourface you met it. We'd go to
Canada too. That first conference wasso powerful that you had that. It
was reported on the local affiliates upin Hartford because that's where my mother lives,
and she sent me a thing onyou, and I'm like, yeah,
that's my sheriff. And then thefall up press conference came. I
think it was a day or twoafter the hurricane came through, and we

(38:47):
didn't have much. I said,well, you know that hurricane didn't metch
damords. We'd still have a hurricaneis still here and that's us against the
gang members. That's right. Wewere still categories for and if y'all want
to reduce it under a tropical storm, then you need to do something with
these kids who are out here.Shooting Team now stands for Category five.
