Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jonathan's strongest borders, the strongest military, the strongest friendships, and
the strongest spirit of any nation on the face.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Of the earth.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Kelly Nash, this is indeed the golden Age of America.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
And Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yesterday's Trump un appearance, I thought was that was that
demonstrates why Trump is the president of the United States.
That was an average Joe gigantic finger to a bunch
of guys who were here to do nothing but screw
prostitutes and have fine dining. We give free rent to
(00:42):
the UN. That entire building should be evicted today, and
all that rent space should be put up on the
open market. I was I was excited to hear him
say all of that.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Not very statesmanlike?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Oh was it not statesman like?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
That's what you need.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm sure INC officials and on the air talk show
hosts were wringing their hands. Why can't he be more states.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I haven't checked Joe Biden's Twitter account lately, but I
bet he says something along the lines of the world
is laughing at us right now.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, and Calm Laporte pointed that out yesterday. You know
something of what a great juxtapositions that is she was
the one on the view being statesman line. Yeah, very
hit any of that goodness yesterday?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I've seen clips. I don't watch the view or yeah,
what's her name on MSNBC Live. By the way, when
is MSNBC msn now? When is that happening?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It feels like we get wait.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
At the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
We've been waiting forever. It feels like, when can I
get my ms NOW gear?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
How many contracts are we counting down the days to
the end of MSNBC's the old which went out take
MS thirteen.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Basically that'll be at the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I believe we now know that Jimmy Kimmel is going
to ride out this contract, does not want any future
contracts with ABC and no.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And you bring that point up because there was were
reading a story off the air about how Jimmy Kimmel
didn't want to return to ABC after he got suspended.
He was so pissed off. And apparently in twenty twenty
four when he signed his contract extension, which goes through
the summer of twenty twenty six, I think he said
at the time, now you all know this is the
final contract extension. He didn't want to sign again in
(02:20):
twenty twenty two, but he did, and now he was like, Bumpet,
I don't want to come back. But then, according to
the news, he thought about the staff. I hate ABC,
I don't like the show, but what about the people,
the people who worked there.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Jonathan and he contemplated this yesterday, I could only think
of one scene. One scene automatically came to mind. It's Maverick,
America's favorite fighter pilot.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Oh this is not John McCain, the Maverick.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And this is the other Maverick.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Maverick is about to take off, and that it experimental
airplane where Ed Harris is about to come in and
shut down the damn programs financing through the Department of War,
not the Department of Defense anymore. Anyway, he's being admonished
by the chief crew officer, who sam Maverick, you don't
(03:18):
have to do this. You know what happened to you
if you do this, Maverick says, much like Jimmy Kimmel
in the cockpit of a plane with a picture Jimmy
Kimmel inside that helmet. Jimmy Kimmel says, I know what
had happened to everybody else If I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That's Jimmy Kimmel. He is the new Maverick.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I was wondering, you know, during all this sacrifice. They
mentioned in the story that he couldn't imagine the staff
of like two hundred. I think it's like two hundred people,
which is amazing that it's so big, that these two
hundred people, what are they going to do if they
don't have jobs? And you know, Jimmy Kimmel apparently makes
a little over fifteen million a year because it's a
three year deal for forty six million dollars. What if
(04:03):
you just gave them a year's pay. Here's my fifteen million.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Divided amongst the two hundred, and they would jump for
freaking joy because it's thirty seven times great at what
they're currently being paid.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I mean, that would be sacrificial not actually coming and
doing the comedy show. So they're the lack of comedy
show for fifteen million. That's not actually a sacrifice, Jimmy,
I know you'd like to think it is.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So as we were watching Donald Trump yesterday at the
un and then get an opportunity to hear the true
diplomats speak all over television in particular own view that
would be Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
And then I had.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
To go to Twitter yesterday at about four o'clock, I think,
and I'm like, I got to hear what people are
saying in anticipation of I'm sure parties are being scheduled
right now, Jimmy Kimmel viewing parties. They're going to be
all kind of party. Maybe one near me.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I live in amongst a lot of liberals in originally CA.
I'm sure there's a viewing party going on somewhere I
could attend. So I looked and I got to the
trending for me page as it takes you first when
you hit the little search, the search magnifying glass, and
I'm scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, No Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Oh okay, Well let me go to trending. Okay, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, nothing.
Let me go to the news, Oh, entertainment, that's where
it's gonna nothing.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And I'm like, is X so finely tuned that it
knows that you would ultimately reject anything that had the
word Jimmy or Kimmel in it? Quite possible, but Jimmy
Johns can't even advertise to just because of their name Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Unless that's the case.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I felt bad that Jimmy Kimmel's the big announcement, the
celebration of Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I'm sure was throwing it out at a party with
a bunch of kids. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What happened to the traction going in So this morning,
first thing, I thought, Oh, I missed that big Jimmy
Kimmel monologue last night because it was broadcast here in Columbia.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Woloh.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, yeah, they're owned by some very small group out
of Charlotte, so they didn't. They have the option of
opting out of it.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
So I go to nothing, the same fourth screen, nothing, nothing, nothing.
Jimmy Kimmel is not being repeated by We aren't taking
the word that Jimmy Kimmel is sharing them with the world.
People are not not They don't reposting.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I think Morning Joe has an exclusive on They're the
only morning show that's allowed to just replay Jimmy Kimmel
ad nauseum. But you know, as we're sitting here recording
the first first thing on Wednesday morning, right now, A
lot of the Fox News coverage is over an ice
(06:44):
facility where some nut job came in shot three people,
killed two of the detainees, and then killed themselves. We
don't know much about it yet. That's we're still in
the you know, find out stage of what happened there.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
They got to set up for the press conference, but
it hasn't happened as ten forty five on this Wednesday morning,
the twenty fourth of September.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
But you know, also, MSNBC still has not reported on it.
MSNBC is still busy running back broadcasts of Jimmy Kimmel
last night and celebrating freedom of speech. Over at CNN,
they're very busy interviewing who is this individual again? A
Washington Post opinion writer who was fired for her comments
in the Washington Post about Charlie Kirk. And she's being interviewed.
(07:27):
I don't know whom is whom, but there's a black woman,
a it looks like a Middle Eastern woman and an
Asian woman and they're all having a chit chat about
why she said what she said and why she should
be back at the Washington Post. But they're not talking
about the actual news of the day because if it
turns out that this is another liberal nut job or
(07:51):
I would think, and I'm just speculating here because I
got nothing to go on. If the two of the
ICE detainees were murdered, who murdered them. It's probably not
going to be a MAGA guy who said you didn't
get him out of here quick enough. It's probably going to
be an opposing gang member who said, this is my
last shot at him.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I'm going to guess that the MAGA media right now
is desperately trying to find any way they can to
blame the shooting of those two people at the Ice
attention on somebody other than their own. It seems like
I've heard those words ring out recently.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
How about the apology, is that what we're calling it
of Kimmel where he said, uh, you know, I didn't
mean to imply that any group of individuals, of course
not when you said the MAGA gang is trying to
stick this guy in our camp. What did that mean
when you said you the MAGA gang imply, Are.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You saying that you don't read anything on the telepropter?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Maybe he had like Donald Trump, un teleprompter failure.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
That's hysterical going to ask you, are you saying there
was a problem with the tailor, with the telepropter and
your escalator didn't go all the way to the top
of your bnogging Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
And that touching moment when you fake crying, shut the up.
Woo Jay Rush is hot to say.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Why I didn't want to watch it last night because
I knew I ended up throwing something. Anybody believe Jimmy
Kimmel actually cares about anything having to do with Charlie
kirk Oh because he hates his guts, because he doesn't
agree with anything he says. And Jimmy Kimmel is self
important in his own mind that everything that he's he's
even told me. He told ABC before, I'm not gonna
tell any Democrat jokes. I'm gonna tell Donald Trump jokes.
(09:37):
You don't like it, fire me.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
That was one of the stories that we were reading about,
was that he's in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I would have more respect for the man if you
just come out and tell me the damn truth. I
hate Donald Trump and people that vote for him. You
don't like it, turn it off, Just go ahead and
say that you got a contract to protect you financially well,
he didn't even want.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
To do the show, but he did kind of say
that because he did say in a twenty twenty interview.
I think it was that in twenty seventeen, ABC executives
came to him and said, can you dial it back
on the Trump jokes? It seems like the whole monologue
is becoming anti Trump and you're driving away half the country.
(10:17):
And he said no, and they said, well, then could
just sprinkle in a couple of jokes about Democrats to
make it seem somewhat fair And he said no, and
they said, well, it's your show. I mean, it is
what it is. And he said, in retrospect, they were
right to come to me, because, as you can see
from the ratings between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty, I
(10:38):
lost about half my audience. In retrospect, still think it
was worth.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
It, Still worth it.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Hates every one of you people, Yeah, every one of you.
If you, yeah, you are the deplorables that Hillary Clinton
talked about. You are despised, You are not valued. Your
opinion does not matter.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
As you ever could have died during COVID told you
you should have died during.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
COVID, there would have been an honorable death.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You didn't take the vaccine. You should have died during COVID.
You lay on the side of the hospital sidewalk and die.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Unless you had had.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Honor, you would have killed yourself before spreading it. That's
what you should have done. If you got called.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Jimmy Kimmel, just be here, look, grow some balls. Just
be here the hell you are. Stand there on television
and be who you are. You don't want to apologize.
Don't act like you're apologizing. You came out there and
kind of acted like.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, he didn't say an apology. He cried like he
was doing one. Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I'm not saying you'd pull out a rifle and shoot
someone you disagree with. I'm not saying that. I don't
think he would actually kill somebody.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I don't know that he could fire a weapon. Doubt
couldvertly injure himself in the process.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I'm sure you and Tim Wallash have had many conversations,
but how the hell do I load this twelve gage?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
And neither one off you could figure it out.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And the only one who probably could fire is Pete
boudageg shot because he's attracted the men.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I would put money on that, And then to.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Watch Kamala try to explain that away to Rachel Maddow, Well,
it really hurt me as a member of the gay
and lesbian community to hear that the reason you didn't
pick Pete Budajek is because he's gay. But that's not
what I said. And then she went on to basically, yeah,
reaffirm I.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Will as salute him for this.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
He had a Republican on the show last night, who
did Jimmy Kimmel, who is.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Ted Cruz ed Cruise. Well, that was not live, but
he did allow the man.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
He did have a playback of the man's audio only
because it supported this position, and he said out loud,
I don't think I've ever said this before. I would
bet everying dollar I've ever owned, not just currently, am
I retirement fund or money. I will make every I
would bet every dollar I had ever owned in my life.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You have never agreed with the Republican.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Any Republican. Come on, Mitt Romney, you don't think he
agreed with Susan Collins at some point because he Republicans.
I don't know. I'll take that bet. Let's go through
the transcripts of Susan Collins.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I'll find something, but donside.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Look, I agree with Ted Cruz in the sense that
the government has no business and that and this issue
that you know what is hate speech. That's not the governments,
it's not in the constitution. Shut your mouth, Pam Bondy,
shut your mouth. Anybody who wants to address the issue
of hate speech that that is that because, like Ted
(13:31):
crew said, that will go horribly wrong for Republicans in
the future because suddenly you saying marriage is between a
man and a woman, that's hate speech.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Well, that whole thing is fraught with peril.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And this is where I really wish we did have
a nine second delay on everything that comes out of
the Oval Office. Why Donald Trump the ball that we
celebrate for running through the china shop. Don't get me wrong,
I want you running through the china shop.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
But we do have it.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
We need the old school FCC nine second delay button.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But who gets the power over Trump to decide what
he says that the people.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Can get guess it's going to be Susie Wilds. But
here's so, here's the problem. Here's a couple of problems
from my perspective. But by the way, I want to
back up for a second. Make sure you don't hold
me today. I said I would, bet I didn't say
I will. So Kelly's going to try to hang me
out of the lawsuit coming up because he's going to
use my words against me. That's okay. But when you
have Brendan Carr come out and say what he said,
(14:28):
we can do this the easy way of the hard weight,
and I realize we can talk it and put it
in full context, but you're not going to get that
kind of extrapa or extended conversation on the evening news
and NBC, ABC and CBS. So watch how you say it, sir.
But you do now put yourself in a position where
it is an overreach, although it is well under the FCC,
(14:49):
which is a federal agency to regulate affiliates not necessarily
the original of the content. In this case, that will
be the network. So that if you we do get
complaints from local affiliates that anything that Jimmy Kimbell or
anybody else said was inappropriate, then that gives the FCC
an opportunity to come in and examine not only what
(15:10):
you said then, but also some other examinations, in particular
with the content of a program like that or like this,
if we were on terrestrial which we're not.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
We're on the Internet.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
So there's a clear differentation. And what people don't understand is,
and we often hear MSNBC hosts try to conflate the issues.
There are separate rulings and separate regulation availabilities from the
federal government from a terrestrial broadcast meaning a television station
on channel four or channel ten, and then as to
(15:41):
cable broadcast and then as to internet broadcasts. So there's
a lot of differentation in the regulation there. But it
did seem like and yes, you can make a very
good argument. It would be hard to defend that the
FCC's fire over your bow warning was an overreach from
Brendan car the way that he was presenting it in
(16:02):
the public and shouldn't have done it. Then he got
the backdrop of this merger deal, which could create an
FTC problem or a collusion problem, or the federal government's
overreach into the FTC to make sure that we have
a merger agreement that does or does not go through.
Given the behaviors of persons involved in this particular Jimmy
Kimmel issue. So there's a lot of stuff going on
(16:22):
there that could have been avoided with a nine second
delay and a second thought process.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Well, and there's a Brendan car tweet from twenty twenty
two that perhaps you've seen being recirculated, and the twenty
twenty two Brendan car is dead on, he tweeted. President
Biden is right. Political satire is one of the oldest,
most important forms of free speech. It challenges those in
power while using humor to draw more people into the discussion.
(16:49):
That's why people in influential positions have always targeted it
for censorship. He's absolutely right. I mean, I'd hate to
see anything happen to the Babylon B. I love the
Babylon B. But you know, the government should stay the
hell out of the speech. And again, free speech as
(17:10):
long as the government's not the one censoring it, the
people can censor it by whatever means if they I
mean not violence, but I'm saying if they want to
boycott certain things or whatever. You know. Right now, the
Libs believe that they actually influenced ABC. I saw one
of my former coworkers in New York. She posted when
(17:33):
the Jimmy Kimmel announcement came down. She said, I'm so
happy that I can renew my subscription to Hulu. Glad
it worked. She feels like she was one of the
many people I guess apparently canceled their Hulu subscriptions, and
somehow when they canceled their Hulu subscriptions, that somebody at
some corporate office somewhere in the last twenty four hours
(17:55):
put the two and two together and said, if we
don't get Kimmel back, they're gonna just keep canceling Hulu subscriptions.
That's not how corporate America works. I just I'd hate
to tell them that they wouldn't know about it until
probably two quarters from now. That's when they would figure
it out. Sometime maybe in a year end review, maybe
we noticed that in September we lost one hundred thousand,
(18:17):
two hundred thousand subscribers. Because they probably gain and lose
hundreds of thousands every month anyway, So the fact that
they had an extra one hundred thousand people quit Hulu,
I mean, what are we talking about ten dollars a month?
I mean, we're not talking about the billions that they said.
The Democrats impacted the Disney empire. Three billion dollars lost
(18:42):
in four days that Jimmy Kimmel was suspended. They spend
a billion dollars a day the Libs do with Disney. Okay,
all right, that's very believable.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh well, we were talking about Donald Trump at the
UN yesterday, and now we're starting to feel the real
effects over here. According to the Posting Courier, this what
you voted for South Carolina. Now you got to find
somebody to cut You got to cut your own grass
and wipe your own butt.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Well, I mean, the implication is it's even worse than
the fact that you're going to have to take these
crappy jobs and that nobody's going to do the crappy jobs.
We're actually going to lose a lot of revenue around here.
Yes apparently, now they say, and we're just going to
take the Posting Courier at face value that they've got
eighty eight thousand illegals living in this state. I'll also
(19:28):
grant them that of that, I would assume the majority
are working men. Sure, whether they're working with the cartel
or a construction crew, I don't know, but the majority
of the eighty eight but not every one of the
illegals is men, right, No, so there are illegal women
who are not working. There are obviously illegal children who
(19:49):
are going to our schools. They are taking the resources,
that sort of stuff. But if we just use their figures,
there's eighty eight thousand illegals and they are paying twenty
five hundred dollars a year to the state of South Carolina,
never mind federal income tax and all that we're getting
for every man, woman, and child. So obviously the children
(20:13):
aren't paying anything. Right, So now all of a sudden,
I just went, are you telling me that basically each
one of these illegal alien mail workers, let's put them
in fifty thousand, is they're each paying roughly seven thousand
dollars a year in state income tax. That's more than
I paid.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
And it mentioned property tax.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
But yeah, they floated the idea that some of them
are homeowners.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well it could be property on their car. I have
a lot of different property taxes, so we don't know exactly,
but we'll get Well, look, we don't know where they
got the numbers. We will just rest according to the
federal data that they quote, that they in fact are
giving us the.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Real Yeah, so you're gonna lose out on like a
couple of billion dollars here South Carolina. You're gonna have
to eat that.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Now, it's hard to know how many unauthorized immigrants are
in South Carolina. It is they are estimates eighty eight million.
Will give them that. Eighty eight thousand. We'll give them
that as well. Okay, now here's a statement from Frank
Napp who this is true. The largest industries hospitality and agriculture.
Those are two of our biggest economic impacts here in
(21:17):
the state of South Carolina. And we know that, as
you mentioned, females, a lot of female workers in hospitality,
a lot of construction worker guys.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
We got that.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
We've often heard about agriculture in hiring illegals in particular.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Ironically enough, I didn't even realize this was the case,
and I had to look at it twice about three
months ago. The timber industry is apparently the biggest of
those persons who hire people under the table illegally. I
did not realize that was the case.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
More than the chicken houses, that's.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
What they're saying. And I know that timber, particularly in
the Southeast, is huge. So it's a big part of
our economic impact from agriculture in the state of South Carolina.
But he goes on to say even the laundromat guy,
now does he talk about the does he give us
the example of the laundromat guy, because I didn't see
that in the article.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
And he did not give us an example of how
the laundrymat guy is going to suffer with the removal
of the eighty eight thousand illegals from our state.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But they're saying that they're just going to vanish because
they're self deporting.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
They are self deporting, and they're saying that you're already
seeing a scarcity of workers in South Carolina, which is
leading to problems in the hospitality industry and others. And
Frank Napp, big friend of the illegals, wants you to
know that you're gonna now we are what did he
say here? As of November, South Carolina has one of
(22:48):
the worst job participation rates in the country. We're just
fifty eight percent of able bodied South Carolinians working fifty
eight percent forty two percent?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Is my math right on that?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, forty of able bodied South Carolinians. Maybe some of
them are rich and they don't need the work, got it? Okay,
can't get them all the work. But the majority, I
would think of the forty two percent are taking what
we like to call benefits. They're getting snap, they're getting
free food, they're getting free childcare, they're getting free phones,
(23:26):
they're getting free internet, they're getting free this, that and
the other. Donald Trump had a proposal which is been
shot down as you're actually going to hurt just the
children with this is if we force the people who
are receiving benefits, if you're able bodied to actually go
to work. We have we have jobs that have been
(23:49):
opened for quite a while here, and some of them
are not like you have to be a genius to
do them. Can you, in fact go and pick something?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well, this is about the Democrats keep telling you the
Republicans their way, and they're getting their way. They're going
to cut back on Medicare payments because of the expansion
that they made. Then people like you mentioned here probably
going to lose their Medicare. You could retain it if
you're able to show that you're trying to get a job.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Well, and you know, people on unemployment know that you've
got to prove that right, And you've got to prove
that you're looking. You got to get like a signature
from someplace that you went and you and they're going
to recommend places to you. They're going to show you
this is your skill set, this is the jobs that
are open right now in our community that you need
(24:34):
to go apply to.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
This is the address of the office where you need
to go apply.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yes. So the fact that we have one of the
worst job participation rates in the country, why why is that?
It's because they're getting free money, That's why. And and
so when you remove the illegals and force these people
into to work, the country gets better and not worse.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It's better, frank, And.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
It's a double swing per dollar because you not only
have people coming off of a Medicare expansion that should
have been put in place, so you're saving that dollar,
but you're also improving by persons going to work, and
with that work comes, as Kelly mentioned, you're going to
replenish that two hundred and thirteen point eight million dollars
(25:23):
in property or other taxes, local taxes, and state income
taxes because we have persons now re engaging into the workforce.
It's a humanistic nature to lay around and do nothing.
Everybody has the battlelet to some degree, well not everybody,
A lot of us have to battle that to some degree.
Sometimes you just want to take a couple hours and
(25:43):
do nothing. Sometimes you want to think it a full afternoon.
Maybe you call in sick from work. Everybody, that's a
humanistic tendency. But you have to be able to at
some point stand up and be responsible.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
As of red Blood. If this is the problem, are.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
We losing out on red Blood itself sufficient all America?
In South Carolinian hopefully Bible thumping citizens who are ready
to get up and go to work every morning to
provide for their family.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Look, of course we are. And that's the government design.
That's been the plan for decades. And you know, I'll
just again my son will talk about him briefly. He's autistic.
He's not high on the spectrum, but he's got multiple challenges.
So the most my son will probably ever do will
be like a burger flipper. That's going to be like
(26:27):
the top of his career chain. It appears he's never
going to know how to drive a car. A lot
of things that people, you know, once they hit adulthood,
they can do without any problems. He can't do those things.
So I did talk once a few years ago with
somebody about, well, aren't the government programs designed for someone
like my son? Like I mean, this is the safety net.
(26:50):
He needs help. He's not making it basically on his own.
I give him a little something to try to help him,
but you know, for him to on his own, it's
going to be impossible. And I was told sure, but
what he has to do is not work for a
minimum of one year, So for a year he can't
(27:12):
take any job. Once he's done that, then he can
apply for Social Security benefits, but then he can't work again.
So wait a minute. My son can't work a job
and make sixteen thousand dollars fifteen thousand dollars a year,
you know, a little over one thousand a month. He
can't do that and be helped by the government. No, no, no, no,
(27:36):
he must come out. Well, I said, well, f that, Jordan,
You're gonna have to figure it out, my man. So
he's out there knocking on doors, trying to work at
all these little restaurants, trying to do what he can.
But the government's not designed to help you. It's not
a safety net for you. If you're in a bad way,
it's we want you to stop working and then become
completely reliant upon this.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Wow, society, completely reliant on the government. Now, I might
have to do a little world history study here, but
I think we have seen that as being the way
some governments are operating. Can I go do a little
research in world history or maybe read some of AOC's
(28:20):
latest tweets back to you own
Speaker 3 (28:22):
That it's uh, you're not going to like what you read.
Welcome to the Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jonathan's strongest borders, the strongest military, the strongest friendships, and
the strongest spirit of any nation on the face.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Of the earth.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Kelly Nash, this is indeed the golden Age of America.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
And Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yesterday's Trump un appearance, I thought was that was that
demonstrates why Trump is the president of the United States.
That was an average Joe gigantic finger to a bunch
of guys who were here to do nothing but screw
prostitutes and have fine dining. We give free rent to
(00:42):
the UN. That entire building should be evicted today, and
all that rent space should be put up on the
open market. I was I was excited to hear him
say all of that.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Not very statesmanlike?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Oh was it not statesman like?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
That's what you need.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm sure INC officials and on the air talk show
hosts were wringing their hands. Why can't he be more states.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I haven't checked Joe Biden's Twitter account lately, but I
bet he says something along the lines of the world
is laughing at us right now.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, and Calm Laporte pointed that out yesterday. You know
something of what a great juxtapositions that is she was
the one on the view being statesman line. Yeah, very
hit any of that goodness yesterday?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I've seen clips. I don't watch the view or yeah,
what's her name on MSNBC Live. By the way, when
is MSNBC msn now? When is that happening?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It feels like we get wait.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
At the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
We've been waiting forever. It feels like, when can I
get my ms NOW gear?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
How many contracts are we counting down the days to
the end of MSNBC's the old which went out take
MS thirteen.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Basically that'll be at the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I believe we now know that Jimmy Kimmel is going
to ride out this contract, does not want any future
contracts with ABC and no.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And you bring that point up because there was were
reading a story off the air about how Jimmy Kimmel
didn't want to return to ABC after he got suspended.
He was so pissed off. And apparently in twenty twenty
four when he signed his contract extension, which goes through
the summer of twenty twenty six, I think he said
at the time, now you all know this is the
final contract extension. He didn't want to sign again in
(02:20):
twenty twenty two, but he did, and now he was like, Bumpet,
I don't want to come back. But then, according to
the news, he thought about the staff. I hate ABC,
I don't like the show, but what about the people,
the people who worked there.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Jonathan and he contemplated this yesterday, I could only think
of one scene. One scene automatically came to mind. It's Maverick,
America's favorite fighter pilot.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Oh this is not John McCain, the Maverick.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And this is the other Maverick.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Maverick is about to take off, and that it experimental
airplane where Ed Harris is about to come in and
shut down the damn programs financing through the Department of War,
not the Department of Defense anymore. Anyway, he's being admonished
by the chief crew officer, who sam Maverick, you don't
(03:18):
have to do this. You know what happened to you
if you do this, Maverick says, much like Jimmy Kimmel
in the cockpit of a plane with a picture Jimmy
Kimmel inside that helmet. Jimmy Kimmel says, I know what
had happened to everybody else If I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That's Jimmy Kimmel. He is the new Maverick.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I was wondering, you know, during all this sacrifice. They
mentioned in the story that he couldn't imagine the staff
of like two hundred. I think it's like two hundred people,
which is amazing that it's so big, that these two
hundred people, what are they going to do if they
don't have jobs? And you know, Jimmy Kimmel apparently makes
a little over fifteen million a year because it's a
three year deal for forty six million dollars. What if
(04:03):
you just gave them a year's pay. Here's my fifteen million.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Divided amongst the two hundred, and they would jump for
freaking joy because it's thirty seven times great at what
they're currently being paid.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I mean, that would be sacrificial not actually coming and
doing the comedy show. So they're the lack of comedy
show for fifteen million. That's not actually a sacrifice, Jimmy,
I know you'd like to think it is.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So as we were watching Donald Trump yesterday at the
un and then get an opportunity to hear the true
diplomats speak all over television in particular own view that
would be Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
And then I had.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
To go to Twitter yesterday at about four o'clock, I think,
and I'm like, I got to hear what people are
saying in anticipation of I'm sure parties are being scheduled
right now, Jimmy Kimmel viewing parties. They're going to be
all kind of party. Maybe one near me.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I live in amongst a lot of liberals in originally CA.
I'm sure there's a viewing party going on somewhere I
could attend. So I looked and I got to the
trending for me page as it takes you first when
you hit the little search, the search magnifying glass, and
I'm scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, No Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Oh okay, Well let me go to trending. Okay, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, nothing.
Let me go to the news, Oh, entertainment, that's where
it's gonna nothing.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And I'm like, is X so finely tuned that it
knows that you would ultimately reject anything that had the
word Jimmy or Kimmel in it? Quite possible, but Jimmy
Johns can't even advertise to just because of their name Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Unless that's the case.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I felt bad that Jimmy Kimmel's the big announcement, the
celebration of Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I'm sure was throwing it out at a party with
a bunch of kids. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What happened to the traction going in So this morning,
first thing, I thought, Oh, I missed that big Jimmy
Kimmel monologue last night because it was broadcast here in Columbia.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Woloh.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, yeah, they're owned by some very small group out
of Charlotte, so they didn't. They have the option of
opting out of it.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
So I go to nothing, the same fourth screen, nothing, nothing, nothing.
Jimmy Kimmel is not being repeated by We aren't taking
the word that Jimmy Kimmel is sharing them with the world.
People are not not They don't reposting.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I think Morning Joe has an exclusive on They're the
only morning show that's allowed to just replay Jimmy Kimmel
ad nauseum. But you know, as we're sitting here recording
the first first thing on Wednesday morning, right now, A
lot of the Fox News coverage is over an ice
(06:44):
facility where some nut job came in shot three people,
killed two of the detainees, and then killed themselves. We
don't know much about it yet. That's we're still in
the you know, find out stage of what happened there.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
They got to set up for the press conference, but
it hasn't happened as ten forty five on this Wednesday morning,
the twenty fourth of September.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
But you know, also, MSNBC still has not reported on it.
MSNBC is still busy running back broadcasts of Jimmy Kimmel
last night and celebrating freedom of speech. Over at CNN,
they're very busy interviewing who is this individual again? A
Washington Post opinion writer who was fired for her comments
in the Washington Post about Charlie Kirk. And she's being interviewed.
(07:27):
I don't know whom is whom, but there's a black woman,
a it looks like a Middle Eastern woman and an
Asian woman and they're all having a chit chat about
why she said what she said and why she should
be back at the Washington Post. But they're not talking
about the actual news of the day because if it
turns out that this is another liberal nut job or
(07:51):
I would think, and I'm just speculating here because I
got nothing to go on. If the two of the
ICE detainees were murdered, who murdered them. It's probably not
going to be a MAGA guy who said you didn't
get him out of here quick enough. It's probably going to
be an opposing gang member who said, this is my
last shot at him.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I'm going to guess that the MAGA media right now
is desperately trying to find any way they can to
blame the shooting of those two people at the Ice
attention on somebody other than their own. It seems like
I've heard those words ring out recently.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
How about the apology, is that what we're calling it
of Kimmel where he said, uh, you know, I didn't
mean to imply that any group of individuals, of course
not when you said the MAGA gang is trying to
stick this guy in our camp. What did that mean
when you said you the MAGA gang imply, Are.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You saying that you don't read anything on the telepropter?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Maybe he had like Donald Trump, un teleprompter failure.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
That's hysterical going to ask you, are you saying there
was a problem with the tailor, with the telepropter and
your escalator didn't go all the way to the top
of your bnogging Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
And that touching moment when you fake crying, shut the up.
Woo Jay Rush is hot to say.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Why I didn't want to watch it last night because
I knew I ended up throwing something. Anybody believe Jimmy
Kimmel actually cares about anything having to do with Charlie
kirk Oh because he hates his guts, because he doesn't
agree with anything he says. And Jimmy Kimmel is self
important in his own mind that everything that he's he's
even told me. He told ABC before, I'm not gonna
tell any Democrat jokes. I'm gonna tell Donald Trump jokes.
(09:37):
You don't like it, fire me.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
That was one of the stories that we were reading about,
was that he's in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I would have more respect for the man if you
just come out and tell me the damn truth. I
hate Donald Trump and people that vote for him. You
don't like it, turn it off, Just go ahead and
say that you got a contract to protect you financially well,
he didn't even want.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
To do the show, but he did kind of say
that because he did say in a twenty twenty interview.
I think it was that in twenty seventeen, ABC executives
came to him and said, can you dial it back
on the Trump jokes? It seems like the whole monologue
is becoming anti Trump and you're driving away half the country.
(10:17):
And he said no, and they said, well, then could
just sprinkle in a couple of jokes about Democrats to
make it seem somewhat fair And he said no, and
they said, well, it's your show. I mean, it is
what it is. And he said, in retrospect, they were
right to come to me, because, as you can see
from the ratings between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty, I
(10:38):
lost about half my audience. In retrospect, still think it
was worth.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
It, Still worth it.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Hates every one of you people, Yeah, every one of you.
If you, yeah, you are the deplorables that Hillary Clinton
talked about. You are despised, You are not valued. Your
opinion does not matter.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
As you ever could have died during COVID told you
you should have died during.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
COVID, there would have been an honorable death.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You didn't take the vaccine. You should have died during COVID.
You lay on the side of the hospital sidewalk and die.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Unless you had had.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Honor, you would have killed yourself before spreading it. That's
what you should have done. If you got called.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Jimmy Kimmel, just be here, look, grow some balls. Just
be here the hell you are. Stand there on television
and be who you are. You don't want to apologize.
Don't act like you're apologizing. You came out there and
kind of acted like.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, he didn't say an apology. He cried like he
was doing one. Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I'm not saying you'd pull out a rifle and shoot
someone you disagree with. I'm not saying that. I don't
think he would actually kill somebody.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I don't know that he could fire a weapon. Doubt
couldvertly injure himself in the process.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I'm sure you and Tim Wallash have had many conversations,
but how the hell do I load this twelve gage?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
And neither one off you could figure it out.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And the only one who probably could fire is Pete
boudageg shot because he's attracted the men.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I would put money on that, And then to.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Watch Kamala try to explain that away to Rachel Maddow, Well,
it really hurt me as a member of the gay
and lesbian community to hear that the reason you didn't
pick Pete Budajek is because he's gay. But that's not
what I said. And then she went on to basically, yeah,
reaffirm I.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Will as salute him for this.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
He had a Republican on the show last night, who
did Jimmy Kimmel, who is.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Ted Cruz ed Cruise. Well, that was not live, but
he did allow the man.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
He did have a playback of the man's audio only
because it supported this position, and he said out loud,
I don't think I've ever said this before. I would
bet everying dollar I've ever owned, not just currently, am
I retirement fund or money. I will make every I
would bet every dollar I had ever owned in my life.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You have never agreed with the Republican.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Any Republican. Come on, Mitt Romney, you don't think he
agreed with Susan Collins at some point because he Republicans.
I don't know. I'll take that bet. Let's go through
the transcripts of Susan Collins.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I'll find something, but donside.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Look, I agree with Ted Cruz in the sense that
the government has no business and that and this issue
that you know what is hate speech. That's not the governments,
it's not in the constitution. Shut your mouth, Pam Bondy,
shut your mouth. Anybody who wants to address the issue
of hate speech that that is that because, like Ted
(13:31):
crew said, that will go horribly wrong for Republicans in
the future because suddenly you saying marriage is between a
man and a woman, that's hate speech.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Well, that whole thing is fraught with peril.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And this is where I really wish we did have
a nine second delay on everything that comes out of
the Oval Office. Why Donald Trump the ball that we
celebrate for running through the china shop. Don't get me wrong,
I want you running through the china shop.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
But we do have it.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
We need the old school FCC nine second delay button.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But who gets the power over Trump to decide what
he says that the people.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Can get guess it's going to be Susie Wilds. But
here's so, here's the problem. Here's a couple of problems
from my perspective. But by the way, I want to
back up for a second. Make sure you don't hold
me today. I said I would, bet I didn't say
I will. So Kelly's going to try to hang me
out of the lawsuit coming up because he's going to
use my words against me. That's okay. But when you
have Brendan Carr come out and say what he said,
(14:28):
we can do this the easy way of the hard weight,
and I realize we can talk it and put it
in full context, but you're not going to get that
kind of extrapa or extended conversation on the evening news
and NBC, ABC and CBS. So watch how you say it, sir.
But you do now put yourself in a position where
it is an overreach, although it is well under the FCC,
(14:49):
which is a federal agency to regulate affiliates not necessarily
the original of the content. In this case, that will
be the network. So that if you we do get
complaints from local affiliates that anything that Jimmy Kimbell or
anybody else said was inappropriate, then that gives the FCC
an opportunity to come in and examine not only what
(15:10):
you said then, but also some other examinations, in particular
with the content of a program like that or like this,
if we were on terrestrial which we're not.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
We're on the Internet.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
So there's a clear differentation. And what people don't understand is,
and we often hear MSNBC hosts try to conflate the issues.
There are separate rulings and separate regulation availabilities from the
federal government from a terrestrial broadcast meaning a television station
on channel four or channel ten, and then as to
(15:41):
cable broadcast and then as to internet broadcasts. So there's
a lot of differentation in the regulation there. But it
did seem like and yes, you can make a very
good argument. It would be hard to defend that the
FCC's fire over your bow warning was an overreach from
Brendan car the way that he was presenting it in
(16:02):
the public and shouldn't have done it. Then he got
the backdrop of this merger deal, which could create an
FTC problem or a collusion problem, or the federal government's
overreach into the FTC to make sure that we have
a merger agreement that does or does not go through.
Given the behaviors of persons involved in this particular Jimmy
Kimmel issue. So there's a lot of stuff going on
(16:22):
there that could have been avoided with a nine second
delay and a second thought process.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Well, and there's a Brendan car tweet from twenty twenty
two that perhaps you've seen being recirculated, and the twenty
twenty two Brendan car is dead on, he tweeted. President
Biden is right. Political satire is one of the oldest,
most important forms of free speech. It challenges those in
power while using humor to draw more people into the discussion.
(16:49):
That's why people in influential positions have always targeted it
for censorship. He's absolutely right. I mean, I'd hate to
see anything happen to the Babylon B. I love the
Babylon B. But you know, the government should stay the
hell out of the speech. And again, free speech as
(17:10):
long as the government's not the one censoring it, the
people can censor it by whatever means if they I
mean not violence, but I'm saying if they want to
boycott certain things or whatever. You know. Right now, the
Libs believe that they actually influenced ABC. I saw one
of my former coworkers in New York. She posted when
(17:33):
the Jimmy Kimmel announcement came down. She said, I'm so
happy that I can renew my subscription to Hulu. Glad
it worked. She feels like she was one of the
many people I guess apparently canceled their Hulu subscriptions, and
somehow when they canceled their Hulu subscriptions, that somebody at
some corporate office somewhere in the last twenty four hours
(17:55):
put the two and two together and said, if we
don't get Kimmel back, they're gonna just keep canceling Hulu subscriptions.
That's not how corporate America works. I just I'd hate
to tell them that they wouldn't know about it until
probably two quarters from now. That's when they would figure
it out. Sometime maybe in a year end review, maybe
we noticed that in September we lost one hundred thousand,
(18:17):
two hundred thousand subscribers. Because they probably gain and lose
hundreds of thousands every month anyway, So the fact that
they had an extra one hundred thousand people quit Hulu,
I mean, what are we talking about ten dollars a month?
I mean, we're not talking about the billions that they said.
The Democrats impacted the Disney empire. Three billion dollars lost
(18:42):
in four days that Jimmy Kimmel was suspended. They spend
a billion dollars a day the Libs do with Disney. Okay,
all right, that's very believable.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh well, we were talking about Donald Trump at the
UN yesterday, and now we're starting to feel the real
effects over here. According to the Posting Courier, this what
you voted for South Carolina. Now you got to find
somebody to cut You got to cut your own grass
and wipe your own butt.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Well, I mean, the implication is it's even worse than
the fact that you're going to have to take these
crappy jobs and that nobody's going to do the crappy jobs.
We're actually going to lose a lot of revenue around here.
Yes apparently, now they say, and we're just going to
take the Posting Courier at face value that they've got
eighty eight thousand illegals living in this state. I'll also
(19:28):
grant them that of that, I would assume the majority
are working men. Sure, whether they're working with the cartel
or a construction crew, I don't know, but the majority
of the eighty eight but not every one of the
illegals is men, right, No, so there are illegal women
who are not working. There are obviously illegal children who
(19:49):
are going to our schools. They are taking the resources,
that sort of stuff. But if we just use their figures,
there's eighty eight thousand illegals and they are paying twenty
five hundred dollars a year to the state of South Carolina,
never mind federal income tax and all that we're getting
for every man, woman, and child. So obviously the children
(20:13):
aren't paying anything. Right, So now all of a sudden,
I just went, are you telling me that basically each
one of these illegal alien mail workers, let's put them
in fifty thousand, is they're each paying roughly seven thousand
dollars a year in state income tax. That's more than
I paid.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
And it mentioned property tax.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
But yeah, they floated the idea that some of them
are homeowners.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well it could be property on their car. I have
a lot of different property taxes, so we don't know exactly,
but we'll get Well, look, we don't know where they
got the numbers. We will just rest according to the
federal data that they quote, that they in fact are
giving us the.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Real Yeah, so you're gonna lose out on like a
couple of billion dollars here South Carolina. You're gonna have
to eat that.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Now, it's hard to know how many unauthorized immigrants are
in South Carolina. It is they are estimates eighty eight million.
Will give them that. Eighty eight thousand. We'll give them
that as well. Okay, now here's a statement from Frank
Napp who this is true. The largest industries hospitality and agriculture.
Those are two of our biggest economic impacts here in
(21:17):
the state of South Carolina. And we know that, as
you mentioned, females, a lot of female workers in hospitality,
a lot of construction worker guys.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
We got that.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
We've often heard about agriculture in hiring illegals in particular.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Ironically enough, I didn't even realize this was the case,
and I had to look at it twice about three
months ago. The timber industry is apparently the biggest of
those persons who hire people under the table illegally. I
did not realize that was the case.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
More than the chicken houses, that's.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
What they're saying. And I know that timber, particularly in
the Southeast, is huge. So it's a big part of
our economic impact from agriculture in the state of South Carolina.
But he goes on to say even the laundromat guy,
now does he talk about the does he give us
the example of the laundromat guy, because I didn't see
that in the article.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
And he did not give us an example of how
the laundrymat guy is going to suffer with the removal
of the eighty eight thousand illegals from our state.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But they're saying that they're just going to vanish because
they're self deporting.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
They are self deporting, and they're saying that you're already
seeing a scarcity of workers in South Carolina, which is
leading to problems in the hospitality industry and others. And
Frank Napp, big friend of the illegals, wants you to
know that you're gonna now we are what did he
say here? As of November, South Carolina has one of
(22:48):
the worst job participation rates in the country. We're just
fifty eight percent of able bodied South Carolinians working fifty
eight percent forty two percent?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Is my math right on that?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, forty of able bodied South Carolinians. Maybe some of
them are rich and they don't need the work, got it? Okay,
can't get them all the work. But the majority, I
would think of the forty two percent are taking what
we like to call benefits. They're getting snap, they're getting
free food, they're getting free childcare, they're getting free phones,
(23:26):
they're getting free internet, they're getting free this, that and
the other. Donald Trump had a proposal which is been
shot down as you're actually going to hurt just the
children with this is if we force the people who
are receiving benefits, if you're able bodied to actually go
to work. We have we have jobs that have been
(23:49):
opened for quite a while here, and some of them
are not like you have to be a genius to
do them. Can you, in fact go and pick something?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well, this is about the Democrats keep telling you the
Republicans their way, and they're getting their way. They're going
to cut back on Medicare payments because of the expansion
that they made. Then people like you mentioned here probably
going to lose their Medicare. You could retain it if
you're able to show that you're trying to get a job.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Well, and you know, people on unemployment know that you've
got to prove that right, And you've got to prove
that you're looking. You got to get like a signature
from someplace that you went and you and they're going
to recommend places to you. They're going to show you
this is your skill set, this is the jobs that
are open right now in our community that you need
(24:34):
to go apply to.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
This is the address of the office where you need
to go apply.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yes. So the fact that we have one of the
worst job participation rates in the country, why why is that?
It's because they're getting free money, That's why. And and
so when you remove the illegals and force these people
into to work, the country gets better and not worse.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It's better, frank, And.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
It's a double swing per dollar because you not only
have people coming off of a Medicare expansion that should
have been put in place, so you're saving that dollar,
but you're also improving by persons going to work, and
with that work comes, as Kelly mentioned, you're going to
replenish that two hundred and thirteen point eight million dollars
(25:23):
in property or other taxes, local taxes, and state income
taxes because we have persons now re engaging into the workforce.
It's a humanistic nature to lay around and do nothing.
Everybody has the battlelet to some degree, well not everybody,
A lot of us have to battle that to some degree.
Sometimes you just want to take a couple hours and
(25:43):
do nothing. Sometimes you want to think it a full afternoon.
Maybe you call in sick from work. Everybody, that's a
humanistic tendency. But you have to be able to at
some point stand up and be responsible.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
As of red Blood. If this is the problem, are.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
We losing out on red Blood itself sufficient all America?
In South Carolinian hopefully Bible thumping citizens who are ready
to get up and go to work every morning to
provide for their family.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Look, of course we are. And that's the government design.
That's been the plan for decades. And you know, I'll
just again my son will talk about him briefly. He's autistic.
He's not high on the spectrum, but he's got multiple challenges.
So the most my son will probably ever do will
be like a burger flipper. That's going to be like
(26:27):
the top of his career chain. It appears he's never
going to know how to drive a car. A lot
of things that people, you know, once they hit adulthood,
they can do without any problems. He can't do those things.
So I did talk once a few years ago with
somebody about, well, aren't the government programs designed for someone
like my son? Like I mean, this is the safety net.
(26:50):
He needs help. He's not making it basically on his own.
I give him a little something to try to help him,
but you know, for him to on his own, it's
going to be impossible. And I was told sure, but
what he has to do is not work for a
minimum of one year, So for a year he can't
(27:12):
take any job. Once he's done that, then he can
apply for Social Security benefits, but then he can't work again.
So wait a minute. My son can't work a job
and make sixteen thousand dollars fifteen thousand dollars a year,
you know, a little over one thousand a month. He
can't do that and be helped by the government. No, no, no, no,
(27:36):
he must come out. Well, I said, well, f that, Jordan,
You're gonna have to figure it out, my man. So
he's out there knocking on doors, trying to work at
all these little restaurants, trying to do what he can.
But the government's not designed to help you. It's not
a safety net for you. If you're in a bad way,
it's we want you to stop working and then become
completely reliant upon this.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Wow, society, completely reliant on the government. Now, I might
have to do a little world history study here, but
I think we have seen that as being the way
some governments are operating. Can I go do a little
research in world history or maybe read some of AOC's
(28:20):
latest tweets back to you own
Speaker 3 (28:22):
That it's uh, you're not going to like what you read.
