Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jonathan, remember what happened in March. Chuck Schumer went out
and said it would be so dangerous to shut the
government down. Remember we have him on tape his entire career.
He's been saying that, Kelly Nash. Now he has suddenly
shifted gears. Why he's afraid of AOC. He thinks he's
going to get challenged in the next election, so he
has to fight Trump, even if it means throwing the
American people under the bus.

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

Speaker 3 (00:23):
He's afraid of AOC now she I think too that
as a compliment if they kept talking about AOC. The
Republican's talking about AOC, and she's invited them to come
to her office and negotiate with her personally.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Look, if you're asking me, would I be afraid of AOC? Possibly?
But would I be more afraid of Donald Trump? Absolutely totally.
If you're picking your enemies, I'd much rather have AOC
than Donald Trump is an enemy. Dot Chuck Schumer has
stumbled backwards into the Donald Trump trap. I believe so.

(00:58):
Donald Trump has been setting this up for a while,
and I think his piece do of Easius LNS. Was
that actual stupid, mean thing that he put out which
ticked off Hakeem Jeffries where he had to stand there
and with a little tremble in his voice. Next time
you want to post a racist meme.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Say it to my faith, hand me a sombrero in person.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
I think that you know, so here we are. It
would have been very good if he'd done that. As
he's making his big speech about twelve hours before the
government shuts down, and the people who are working in
the government who are saying, please help me, I don't
want to have to work without getting paid for weeks
or months. And then more importantly, there's people who recognized

(01:44):
Donald Trump's threat was real. For the first time ever,
You're gonna see government employees rift in a big way.
He's already lined up thousands, maybe tens of thousands, to
lose their jobs. Trump says, I don't want to fire them.
I can't fire them right now. But if there is
a government shutdown that creates a legal loophole where we

(02:06):
can then fire them, We're going to save hundreds of millions,
maybe billions of dollars and shrink the size of government
because of the Democrats they didn't heed his warning. And
then and as those people are nervous about their jobs,
instead of seeing somebody fighting for them, they got a
Keem Jeffries upset because they put him in a sombrero.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
And then you get Chuck Schumer holding up the entire
process because he thinks he's going to get primary by AOC,
which he's going.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
To get well. And then there was the poll was
it yesterday that said two thirds of likely Democrat voters
looked at their leadership as weak and ineffective. Now that
is the Keem Jeffries as well, but it really is
pointing at Chuck Schumer. So two thirds of the Democrats
in America, likely Democrat voters think that Chuck Schumer is

(02:53):
a week leader.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
That's already baked in. Brother, you're not going to be
at a grand stand on this to somehow save yourself
from the aa OC primary attack.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well, I'm assuming that you know those two thirds would
prefer a lunatic like an AOC or a socket or
who's the craziest one in the Senate? Is there a
crazy senator? It's usually tougher to get a crazy senator.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, it seems like all the really outspoken ones around
the house.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, we got we got a couple that are kind
of high profile crazy error, but they're not like far
right crazy extremists. But I'm thinking like John Kennedy down
in Louisiana. He's kind of crazy. But we don't get
the complete nut jobs on the right. I can't think
of any left leaning senators that are just bonkers. Oh
wait a second, how can I say I can't think

(03:44):
of one. When Adam Shiff he got the big bump up,
I forgot about that he was a House member, but yeah,
now he's a senator. Adams, Yeah he told them.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
But does he come off as being strong or just
being They like him because he's weasley.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Adam Shiff could be the strongest individual who ever walked
the earth, but he would look just soft as hell
because of his chin. His chin looks like it's made
of like, I don't know, like something that the Pillsbury
dough boy put together.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
And then in the midst of all that, Trump's administration
just keeps marching forward. The outrage of flying they had
to go to the expense. How much was it six
million dollars they spent estimated to fly all of the
high ranking officials back into town to get a pep
rally speech from a boy Scout leader. Is that that's

(04:36):
pretty much the way it was described on MSNBC yesterday.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
I think what we saw yesterday possibly could be the
most important meeting of our armed forces. And we'll just
say a long time since the d of World War Two.
Since yeah, in decades. We haven't won a war since
World War Two. Despite George Bush's mission accomplished BS banner

(05:02):
that he flew on that ship, Pete Hegseth is dead
on and I don't care if Pete Heggseth had never
even visited a military base in his entire life. It
is common sense that when you lower standards for fight
here the people who the lethality we need lethal people,

(05:23):
people who are likely Like we have a guy on
WVOC that I listened to sometimes at night, and Jesse
Kelly's his name, and on Mondays he does something called
Medal of Honor Mondays and he does a thing. And
he was talking about a guy this past Monday, incredible
story about what he did, and then he mentioned kind
of offhandedly that that guy had been written up several

(05:46):
times by his superior officers for being a little bit
out of control. Okay, and he said, I've noticed that
in about eighty to ninety percent of the Medal of
Honor winners. They're a little bit out of control because
you have to have a mental attitude that is outside
the norm. You can't be normal and be one of

(06:10):
the most deadly people on earth. It's the two don't coincide.
It's like when you talk about NFL players that keep
getting arrested, A lot of them are the best in
the NFL because they're crazy. Yes, that's what makes them
great is their mind is different than yours of mind.
We some would say it's broken. Others would just say

(06:31):
it's different. When you're going to be somebody who can
kill people, I can't kill somebody and then go to
sleep at night. And we got a long list of
military former military members who couldn't do it either, and
they did it, and that's called post traumatic stress disorder.
They saw somebody die and they their mind can't handle it.

(06:53):
The people that we want in the military are the
ones who are like, no, that's not a problem.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, I mean, if you talk to somebody through Pieris Island,
I'm thinking about one of my buddies.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Now, his name is Robert.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
He said, you know, you go to Pieris Island and
after thirteen weeks of training, you come out and you
literally believe what they have taught you. And they've taught
you how to fight, obviously, but they break you down
physically and mentally, and they build you back up. You
walk out of Paris Island and you are the world's
best fighting machine. That's what you know yourself to be.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Now.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
In his description, he immediately went out and got into
a bar fight just to prove it. Yeah, just because
he's got all Now I'm ready, Now, I'm ready.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
I just got off a Paris Island.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, and he went back to Florida, wherever he was from,
to see his parents. After you graduated, he just went
out and got in.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
A bar fight.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Take three or four on. Now let's go done and
toughest damn nails. I bet he was, Oh, I'm sure
I wouldn't want to mess with a guy, and you don't.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
You wouldn't see this guy coming. That's the part.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
This guy was like maybe five nine, maybe one sixty five.
But before you know it, he's got you in a
flying head scissors he's got you on the ground, and
now he's put in his elbow where your nose used
to be.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Well, and again, not just the physical ability to fight
somebody and the strength required to be that type of person,
but the mental aspect of it. Again, if we were
sitting well, I still believe that I am slightly ptsd'd
by the back to back to back of the events

(08:25):
of what was it like three weeks ago now where
we saw the Charlotte train victim get stabbed in the neck,
and then it was like two days later Charlie Kirk
got shot and you saw that video which was disgusting,
and then the next day was the replaying of September eleventh,
and you know, you're just remembering the people jumping out
of the buildings and all that, And so my mind

(08:49):
is not built for this. I'm not that guy. There
are people who are that guy. We don't need. We
don't need a whole lot of those guys. They can
stay on the right side of the law. But also
so don't have a problem with killing people or seeing
other people die. They're cool with it. I mean I
shouldn't say they're cool with it. That's not the right phrase,
but they can handle it. They can deal with it. It

(09:10):
was like, did you see that interview yesterday? It was
so weird. CNN had an interview with a cartel member,
so they had to block out his face and stuff,
and his whole message was basically, don't join the cartel.
That's his message. I'm in the cartel. Don't join the

(09:31):
cartel because it's pitched to the kids as it's a
get rich quick scheme. I can tell you you never
get rich. I've been doing this twenty years. And then
the interviewer said, you've had to kill people and he
just nonchalantly yeah, I've killed people. And he said, but

(09:53):
you don't want to kill people. He goes, I've never
wanted to kill anyone, but I had to. And he
was like, so, how does that make you feeling? He goes, well,
it's weird because I'm not a bad person. This guy
is okay though somehow he's able to go on. That's
that to me is weird. Like if I was forced
to kill someone, I don't know that I ever get

(10:13):
out of that, do you know what I'm saying? Like
like I may actually have pulled the trigger on it,
but again, it's not somebody who was threatening my life
or threatening anybody that I love life. This is just
somebody sitting in a chair and you're told walk up
and snap their neck, or you're told walk up and
put a knife in their back. And he can do
that and then say I'm not a bad person, though

(10:36):
I don't want to do this, But he said, I
can't get out of the cartel because not only do
they kill me, they've already showed me they're going to
kill my mom, my sister. Everybody dies.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
So after Pete headset the Secretary of War, then we
heard Donald Trump also speak. Or did Trump speak first?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
I don't know. I just saw highlight. He usually wraps
it up.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yeah, So Trump spoke, and then he threatened the American citizen.
MSNBC was very upset this morning. He threatened American citizens.
We're going to use major metropolitan areas as training for
our National Guard. So they're just going to go roll
into Chicago and kill half the population just in a
training weekend.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I would have preferred him to say we're going to
use Palestine.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yes, we're going to shows that locale.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, we're going to Palestine.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
When you're talking about Milwaukee as if you know, we
and a couple of things. Number one, that's not what
he meant. But they got to make sure that they
spend all their spend time because they really don't have
a good argument to backup Schumer.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
The other thing is is that you know, we have
a military as I understand it, we have military practice
of maneuvers as they call them, I think, in and
around metropolitan areas all the time. Maybe not major metropolitan areas,
I don't know, maybe they do it in some parts
of Chicago, but we have we have maneuvers where they

(11:59):
train what happens if we have an attack and whatever
a major metropolitan areas. We don't know how we're going
to deal with that. We didn't even know how to
go door to door, knock and look him for terrorists
till we got to the Middle East. Now we train
for that all the time. And that's not the same
training he's looking for in Chicago. And I don't even
know what that reference was about. It was just Donald
Trump talking off the top of his head.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
I thought it was funny because now that I think
about it, Trump must have been going after Pete Hegseth
had already begun speaking and he was leaving the White
House and somebody, you know, there's always reporters out there,
and one of them was asking him about, you know,
how he felt about Pete. Hegseth reinstating the top tier

(12:41):
for fitness. It is by age, by the way, So
it's not like the sixty year old admirals are going
to have to do as many pull ups as the
twenty one year old recruits. Sure, but they are going
to have to do several pull ups and a bunch
of push ups, and they're going to have to run
a mile or whatever. And so he said, we're not
gonna have any fat people in the military anymore. And

(13:03):
they enlisted men don't like seeing fat leaders, and so
they were trying to imply that Trump is fat and
perhaps that he should go on a diet. Yeah, and
so he said, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going
there right now, and I'm going to talk to these people,
and if i don't like any of them, I'm going
to fire him on the spot. And he turned around

(13:25):
and walked off, and like some of the reporters like,
oh my god, I can't believe he just said that.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
You know, that's great, Oh, He just wraps these people
around his action and keeps on drive. And I love it.
He just reaches down and gets another gear and keeps going.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Well. Boy, this is an exclusive in the New York
Post this morning. I just saw this. Egene Carroll says
that in her mind, if Donald Trump had actually taken
to the stand, he would have totally destroyed my case.
My testimony doesn't stand up to his.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
So she says, he could have saved himself ninety million
dollars if he had just taken to the stand, But
he must have been too busy. Joe Tacoma or Toko
Pina is a great defense attorney. He did the best
he could for Trump, but he should have encouraged Trump
to get up there and talk. If Trump had followed
his own advice, he probably would have won. Wow.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
I can't believe she's saying it out loud. Hey, A
couple of things here in South Carolina. Number one I
put up yesterday from Steve Federico, just his statement before
the North Carolina House members as they were talking about

(14:42):
the crime of the streets in particular that was probably
the impetus of.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
That was, of course the light rail.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Killing of the Ukrainian girl, still an unbelievable video to watch.
And then I put up his testimony, and now we're
getting a little bit of pushback here from South Carolina
law enforcement officials who are saying they actually did communicate
with him.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Where all that's going to pan out.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
I know that.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Some people are trying to make political fodder of this.
Nancy Mace always is looking for an opportunity to jump
into the controversy with a strong statement that's usually not true.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
I don't even understand what Nancy May does. Nancy Mace
not understand how the law works.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
I mean, I don't think she understands which agencies do
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, remember when she's allegedly was attacked we'll say down
somewhere around Beaufort. She claims that she filed her police
report with the Washington DC Police, Like why would you
do that? That doesn't make sense. And then she blamed
Alan Wilson for not prosecuting, like he.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Confused the Capitol Police with the Capital City police. But
it didn't even happen in Columbia. It happened in the
low Country.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, none of that made up any sense. What was
Alan Wilson to investigate or prosecute. It's not his case.
You gave it to the Capitol police anyway.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Ask Alan Wilson about it, and he said, look like anything else.
Whenever somebody comes to me with something that needs to
be investigated further, or is in the middle of investigation,
or has it been investigated, I say go to your
local law enforcement. That's where the investigation begins. That's square one.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Well, and so in this instance, we had a guy
who had been arrested in a number of times and
Byron Gibson, the solicitor for Richland County. The prosecutor was lax,
we'll say, soft on crime. And according to Leon Lott,
who said it openly on this show many times, yes,

(16:41):
that he is very soft on crime. He does not
like to prosecute, particularly if we're just being honest black criminals.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
He has proscatorial discretion which charges will be brought, which
ones will not.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yes, And in this instance it was a black man
that he chose to go soft on. That black man
then killed this white man's daughter. And now the white
man is saying that the black prosecutor has been negligent
in his duties. Now you can understand all of that. Somehow,
in the midst of that, Nancy Mace pipees in and

(17:18):
wants Alan Wilson to resign from the Attorney General's position.
That case never would have crossed the Attorney General's desk.
That is a local Richland County issue.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Right If the person was going to be investigated in
this particular scenario having to do with Alan Wilson and
the Attorney General's office, they will be investigating Byron Gibson
if there was something illegal that he had done.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Now, because he does.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Have as part of his elected status, the prosecutorial discretion,
there's no way for the Attorney General to investigate that.
He can certainly point out, we won't have the kind
of prosecution that we need, not just in Richland County,
but in several counties, several solicitors in this state. And
then you could compound that conversation by talking about the

(18:03):
judges who let these people walk out. And we already
know anidgota without having to point to Miss Federico who
was tragically killed inside the city limits of Columbia, which
is why it was. It's just been an embarrassing situation.
But we've had plenty of those, but the one that
I think about all the time because I happened to
go by that location, a lot off a beltline boulevard.

(18:24):
The lady was killed at two o'clock in the morning
in the bakery.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
God, I was like ten fifteen years ago doing it.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
That is a perfect example of the kind of problems
that we have when these judges let people back out
out because the guy was literally on the streets for
like two days.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
When he killed her. Well, there was two of them,
wasn't it. Yeah, two people, two of them, Like they
left a bar, they kicked in the back door of
a bakery at like two am, and she just happened
to still be there working. I don't think they expected
to see her in there or something. They were just
gonna rob it and then they ended up killing her.
And like you said, both of them had been career
criminals at that point, and one of them had just

(18:57):
been led. He'd been arrested and released the same day,
like two days earlier.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Leon Lotts told us Tom and Tom again, I mentioned
this yesterday about the statistics and the recisism of the
crime in this city, but also that we have literally
people who have been charged with murder walking the streets
because of the backlog of the court system. So yeah,
I don't know what in the leniency of the bonding.
I have no idea what Nancy May says. I mean,
I understand that she's running for governor and Alan Wilson

(19:23):
appears to be the front runner unless you read some
of these crazier polls. We you do have some polling
out there that shows that Nancy Mace might be in
the lead.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
There's others. The show's pammel. Anyway, it's going to be
a three way, maybe a four way race because Ralph
is kind of further behind.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
But Ralph Norman came out he wants to see the
impeachment of Byron Gibson.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Byron Gibson.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Now Byron Gibson's office is saying that they have been
communicating with the father no matter what he says. So
it's going to be he said, she said before you're
able to find out exactly what happened, and you probably
never will.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
But what difference to I mean, to quote the great
Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
At this point, what difference does it make?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, I mean, the problem with Byron Gibson was not
that he didn't communicate with the dead girl's father after
she was murdered. The problem was that the murderer was
set free to kill the girl. So it doesn't matter
what we talk about now by iraxactly. You want to
talk about the Gamecocks and how they're going to have
a tough road schedule, that doesn't matter. My daughter is dead.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
I've often wondered who that man was going to be,
and I didn't realize there's going to be in Columbia, South Carolina.
With the tragic death of this daughter brings about the
man who has openly said I'm your worst nightmare. I
will spend the rest of my life raising hall watch me.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well, and he's not even a South Carolina resident, is he?
I mean, so we're gonna have to have some guy
from here. She wasn't coming to Herth Carolina.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
She was visiting friends.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
She looked like I don't know if this is true,
but the photos, all the photos I saw of her,
she was in Clemson gear So I'm wondering if she
had been a Clemson student and then somehow became friends
with a Gamecock student and that's how she ended up
in Columbia that very sad night where she was apparently
sleeping over in Colombia and this guy broke into the
house and murdered her.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
It's a tragic story, but I'm surprised that we had
not been introduced to in this case, mister Federico. I
did not know what his name would be. But because
we've had so many young people in particular, who have
been killed in such situations like this, well, let's not
say young people, let's just say people. We've had so

(21:26):
many people killed in situations on This's where we constantly
turned these criminals back down on the streets that we
don't have. As Nancy Pelosi would say, I don't know
why we wouldn't have uprisings in the streets we should.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
I mean, look, they're attacking with Paul with a hammer.
Oh my gosh, poor Paul. Wow. Can we get can
we get Alan Wilson in trouble for that? Why was
Paul Pelosi allowed to be attacked? Alan? Alan?

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Do you have an answer for that? We're waiting, hello, Nancy,
But Nancy is waiting kind of law enforcement or you
get Lord Jesus helped me, right, So now we're going
to have this continued, and we got South Carolinians now
who may be affected that weren't affected the last time
we had a government shutdown, and Kelly looked back on

(22:17):
the timeline, it was seven years ago. Not that the
number of people that are, not that the classifications of
people have changed, but there has been a lot of
advancement a lot of different ways in the past seven years.
Certainly we know about that, some of it in the
wake of COVID. This one, actually I don't know if
it's COVID inspired, but was utilized beginning in COVID and

(22:37):
now utilize more with teledox. So we do have some
South Carolinians who are going to be affected by this.
If you have used the teledox system so far as
your healthcare.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Well, I believe the actual term that they use is
telehealth or medicare and medicaid.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
I think teledoc is an actual software platform and dictory
in nature.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
You know, if you look in South Carolina, there's over
six hundred thousand people currently that is their main source
of treatment is telehealth, and for I'm guessing it's the
way it's described here. The vast majority, so we'll say
five hundred and fifty thousand of them are going to
lose it. During the government shutdown because you have to

(23:21):
be in the most rural of areas. So they're suggesting that,
you know, if you've been dependent upon telehealth, you're a
South Carolina resident, you need to start reaching out now
to see if you qualify. You already know you don't
qualify if you live in like the Midlands, like you
have to be way out in Saluta maybe or something
like that to possibly qualify for it. But if you're

(23:44):
within like an hour of a hospital, you're out.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Otherwise you're going to see banks continuing. And you know,
if you're plugged in enough to be listening to a
podcast about politics, you already know. But we will have
civil engineers and the like who show up for work
at thinking of one and Show Air Force Base, and
I'm sure that they were there this morning to sign
a paper that they recognize that they will be notified
or whatever. Then you turn around to go back home

(24:09):
because you're not working.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
And that sucks because you're not getting paid. And I
know we've always try to minimize that and act like, well,
you know you're going to get paid. But the last
shut down lasted a month, so those people had to
go four weeks without a paycheck and then figure out
how to make it, and a lot of them end
up borrowing money from people, and a lot of people
end up taking out loans just in order to meet

(24:31):
you know, because people live paycheck to paycheck, so cash
is king. So the fact that you back paid me great,
but you didn't backpay me with the interest on the
loan that I took out to pay for this, So
they ended up losing money. Plus it's a lot of
added stress, so on and so forth. And then there's
also the option, you know, Mike Johnson pointed it out.
I thought, brilliantly, there's probably going to be some TSA

(24:52):
agents who are required to go to work and have
already been told they're not getting paid, and a lot
of them are pretty much already taking the adeditud Well,
then I'm not coming to work. I will just quit.
I will just leave. What happens to your airport system?
If forty percent of the TSA agents aren't there in
a week, they're shutting them down too, Then that's what's
happening right. Your flights are getting canceled. The nation will

(25:16):
grind to a halt because of this ignorance being brought
on by the Democrats, and you have to be crystal clear,
it is all about Chuck Schumer. This has nothing to
because they got it passed in the House. You had
to get it passed in the Senate. And you got
three and a half Democrats to come along with every
one of the Republicans. I say a half of a

(25:37):
Democrat because Lisa Murkowski voted with the Republicans shockingly for once.
But you had three Democrats, including Fetterman Angus King from Maine,
and I'm trying to remember the woman's name, but I
think she's from Oregon. Those three Senate Democrats voted with
the Republicans. Every Republican voted to keep the government open.

(25:58):
They needed like seven Democrats, they got three and a half.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Yeah, And when you really boil it down, and we've
heard more than a couple of people say this, and
the entire thing hinges on AOC's almost announced run against
Chuck Schumer and how he has to prove he is
strong for the most left of their party in order

(26:25):
to hold off and then retain his power in the Senate.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
But he's not up until twenty twenty eight. How old
is Chuck Schumer right now? I mean He's an old man,
isn't he.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
He looks older than he is. I'm going to guess
he's seventy four.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
All right, let's see Chuck Schumer's age seventy Wow, you're good.
Next monks older than that. Next month, he'll be seventy five. Okay.
So Chuck Schumer's term would end in a little over
three years because it would end in January, so he'll
be seventy five. So he'll be seventy eight, almost seventy

(27:01):
nine years old. He'll be almost seventy nine years old.
Is Chuck Schumer legit thinking I'm running for another six
year term? Six Yeah, another six years at age seventy nine.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Maybe he's looking at Grassley saying I can do that.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well, I mean, why don't you look. I thought that
there was this woman on CNN yesterday and I can't
remember her name right off the top of my head,
but she is a lib She's worked for CNN, she's
married to a guy from NPR. I mean, there is
lib as they're going to get. And she talked to
Chuck Schumer and she says the reason Chuck voted the

(27:36):
last go around with the Republicans to keep the government open.
Was he thought it would be best to do the
what did she say? It politically difficult, but morally right
thing to do. The morally right thing to do is
keep the government open. It's politically difficult because he knew
the base wasn't gonna like it. But now he and

(27:59):
other Democrats don't look at it that way. Now what
they see is it's Trump's shut down. We have to
get what we can get for ourselves. Now. If originally
it was the morally right politically difficult thing to do,
the opposite has to be true right now exactly, it
is the morally not right thing to do and politically

(28:23):
weak thing today. He did the.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Last time, so he knew the hell was coming this time.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well, I think he's catching hell from a lot as well.
I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, we had, like I said,
three senators go along with the Republicans. I bet there
was fifteen more in there that wanted to go. I'm sure,
And they're probably giving him hell right now, Why are
we doing Why are we doing this? This doesn't make
any sense, Chuck and so. And it's funny how they

(28:51):
talk about we need somebody on the right to stand
up to Trump. We need somebody. They all just ben
you need to Trump. Again, the overwhelming with your al
of the people on the right agree with Trump, So
they're not bending the knee. They're thankful that they have
somebody as a leader who's doing what they want, that
they don't have some sort of weak spined Mitt Romney
type of guy who's trying to find middle ground. That's

(29:14):
what most on the right are thinking. I'm sure that's true.
On the left, most are thrilled that Chuck didn't. But
I bet you there's ten or fifteen in there who
wanted him, and I believe you're right.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
They're absolutely bending and they did. Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's what I'm saying. Those ten needed to have a
spine and step up and do the right thing for
the country, which again was only to extend the government
a month. It was just going to keep it open
to November.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah, exactly, you're only buying You're only buying thirty days
and then if you want to attack the appropriations measures
as they come. And by the way, the Democrats haven't
done that since Bill Clinton. We haven't actually had a
bunch of process that was done the way it should have.
Been done, so we'll find out how you. Then you
make your argument for your Medicare expansion.
