Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jonathan Rush, I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I don't think any Democrat has. Kelly Nash, there was
an authoritarian leader called that Olf Hitler, same way it
happened with Hitler. When Hitler MISLINI and Hitler Hitler. That
is literally Hitlaryan, we'll go with Hitler.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Donald Trump believes Hitler did some good things. Jonathan and
Kelly Show, WOC Now I realized that Cole Wallace doesn't
have a great viewership for her show. No, but I
didn't even know even she doesn't watch the show because
she's called Hitler. I mean, she's called Trump Hitler multiple times.
(00:41):
But maybe she's not a Democrat. Maybe oh you're white.
She did serve in the George they called George W.
Bush Hitler.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I would find the idea of Democrats that you're unaware
that any Democrats, like AOC or any of them have
had referred to Donald Trump as Hitler. To kind of
paraphrase that word that was made up. I'd find that hilarious.
That's hitlararius. The fact that you don't know about this.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Hilarian was another word I did not have on my
bingo card. I'm not even sure that's a word.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
No, they made that up, So I made up hilarious.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So, but you know, and I will give Pritzker a
pass at this point because I have not done a
complete study, nor do I intend to. But I don't
know that he's actually he said he has at compared Hitler.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
He did because he told you I built America's Did
he say America's and I built? I said, Maybe I'm
paraphrasing incorrectly. He built America's largest Holocaust museum, So I
know about authoritarians. So there was a direct reference to
Hitler having.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
To do with a comparison to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But I'm not sure if he's ever come out and
said Donald Trump is Hitler. Plenty of Democrats have. Yeah,
all right, So so Hitler is meeting today with you,
that's gonna be a note.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well, isn't that like one of his role models? I've
heard that too. Did Trump desperately wants to be possibly?
If possibly? Maybe he's hopeful? And that's funny. Are they
making a big deal out of the fact that he
said he's hopeful that he'll get to meet with Kim
Jong on.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
He did say that.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I know that, But I'm saying, are they making a
big deal out of the fact, because that seems crazy
that Donald Trump would say, oh, I really do hope
I can meet with Kim Jung on, and they they
asked him yesterday, would you extend your trip because he's
supposed to come home. I guess late Thursday, so that's
when he's supposed to come back. But would you extend
it till the weekend? Maybe for a chance to hang
(02:43):
out with Kim Jong on? Am I I'm not against it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Can you imagine the Secret Service guys who are currently
on this trip and they go, wit, what did he
just say?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
We're going to North Korea?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Boys? Absolutely all right, somebody get on the horn, get
to DC.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Wouldn't need some backup on this. We're going to fly
from South Korea. We're gonna do a pond skipper over
here and jump over the forty seventh parallel that we're
going to land in North Korea.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's not a long flight, no dangerous, not long not
dangerous landing.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It is this dangerous when you get out, all right,
So we don't know what's going to happen. With that,
he's already offered it. He's offered it. We'll see if
he takes him up on it. Now, it's been a
pretty damn successful trip unless you're listening to NBC News,
which I did, and their summary of the trip for
Trump so far, what are they saying? Nothing really tangible
(03:37):
has come out of this trip except for the fact
that he admitted that he can't run in twenty twenty eight.
That's the only thing tangible that NBC News saw coming out.
And you know, given that he's been what three days
into this trip, that's so anything tangible. So I don't
know they did they not watch Are they lighting Nicole Wallace?
(03:57):
Did they not even watch their own coverage? Because I
believe in even NBC News has covered to some degree
the trade deals, particularly the one that came out of
Japan where our buddy Stephen Colbert claims the only thing
that Trump got out of that was a golden golf ball.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's interesting how they always minimize anything that he does.
I'm very anticipatorily looking forward to his meeting with Chi because,
according to Scott Bessen when I watched him Sunday morning,
I'm trying to remember which show. He was on Sunday morning,
but he was checking in live from China, and he
was saying that they had already established him and his counterpart.
(04:38):
They were tasked with putting together the framework for the
trade deal so that when Trump and She meet that
there's really nothing left to negotiate. It's already been handled
and we have arrived.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And I think this is just a signing.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, this is just those two guys are going to
get together. It's going to be a very pleasant meeting.
It'll go about three hours or so, but there's nothing
for them to negotiate, basically, And Besson said, we've got it,
and both China and America, particularly the farmers of America,
are going to be very happy with this deal. There's
nobody say like the media is like acting like, well,
(05:15):
there's no shot now for a real deal. What are
you talking about?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And to say that you got nothing tangible out of
the Japanese stuff. You got five hundred billion dollars coming
in US investment investment here?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is that just for the ballroom? Five hundred.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Billy.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yes, they're going to turn the entire state of Virginia
into one gigantic ballroom with five hundred billion dollars and
it was reporting yesterday and I'm like, wait minute, what
did we get the Eskimos to agree to buy ice too?
Because you got japan to agree to buy rice?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
What we were selling ice to Eskimos, We're selling rice
to the Japanese. Unfriggin believable.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Now, the the big news at NBC, one of the
MSNBC in particularly this morning when to cling to was
the admission that Mika shared with the first thing this
morning that he pretty much admitted he can't run again
in twenty twenty eight, on the heels of Mike Johnson
saying that yesterday, we don't see any way we can
clear that through the calendar, given the congressional approval, it
would need to overturn an amendment. But now the next
(06:21):
rumor out of somebody's mouth is going to be, this
is because Trump admitted he can't run in twenty twenty
eight because he's afraid of Barry. Because they're afraid of Barry,
Barack Obama, Trump is afraid of Baraco. That's what the
rumor is going to be, because Barack Obama. Somebody's already
floated that Barack Obama should run for a third term.
And that's why Trump back down because he didn't want
(06:43):
to go head to head with Barack Obama. I'm saying,
you're out of your mind, but Trump would do would
rather do nothing more then go head to head with
a presidential election. You know this may actually move the
needle over in Congress. You want to see a dock
down by a knockdown political brawl. Put Barack Obama up
(07:05):
against Donald Trump for president in twenty twenty eight. Trump
would salivate. He's salivate and thinking about that.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Well, could we even just have the how about this?
How about we agreed neither one of them are really
going to run for president? But put it on pay
perview Barack versus Trump debate. I think people would pay
to watch a Barack versus Donald Trump debate absolutely. And
then and make the rules a little less stringent than
(07:31):
what we've currently got so that each answer can go
three minutes three minutes, and that the other guys Mike
is muted while that guy's talking, and then you mute
the other guy when the counterpart starts.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
That will be it that you look South Carolina one,
you want to do a fundraiser, See if you can
get that as a fundraiser.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
That's a pay perview that.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
We imagine if they got the coffers, can you we'd
have it live at Williams Brice Stadium.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Incredible.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
How much would you pay to go into Williams Brice
have it up there on the scoreboard. We're sitting there
on the center stage. Yes, and then who he gets
to do that? And no, the forty fourth president of
these United States, Barack who saved No Bama.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Somebody get h back on the phone. We got a
pay per view that will generate three times what we need.
You could run three or four months of Snap benefits
of South Carolina because that would be an incredible fundraiser.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And in the gold corner.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Wearing the heaviest trucks any fighter has ever worn before
with their gold lemee.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Coming in is number forty five and number forty seven.
That's great, Oh my god, that would be so fantastic,
a great pay per view event. It's a live event Vegas.
It'd probably go to a place like Vegas. Everybody would
watch that, they would want to see it.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
That would be great.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And we both know that Barack Obama's never going to
run for a third term. He's already told you, I'm
too lazy to do it. I'm not going to get
out and meet with people. If I could just sit
in a basement somewhere and whisper into somebody's ear wearing
his sweatpants, Yes, wearing his sweat pants, and he's too
frigging lazy to get out and do anything. Something very
similar they were talking about. Imagine being the president jd
(09:22):
Vance or Marco Rubio or whoever.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
In your first term. You're going to wake up every
morning and they're not wrong. You're going to wake up
every morning and truth social will be loaded with what
you need to be getting done today, critiquing your yesterday performance.
And Donald Trump is not going to go quietly into
the night. Donald Donald Trump doesn't need to run for
(09:46):
a third time.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I might as well go ahead making vice president and
then you go hang out in the basement somewhere with
Barry because Donald Trump is going to keep running it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, why Barack Obama did run the Joe Biden administration.
I don't anybody who says otherwise is a fool Donald Trump.
Everybody knows that it was Barry calling the shots under
Joe Biden. But Donald Trump is going to do it
above ground. He's not going to hide it. He's going
to put it out there for you, and he's going
to say this is what he needs to do or
she whoever he decides will be the president. He will
(10:15):
hand pick his successor. And Kelly's right, he couldn't just
text it. He's got to put it on social media
because Trump wants credit for it, absolutely, absolutely, and it
puts pressure on that individual.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Now, we've never seen this happen before where a president
comes out of the position after two terms the vice president.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Let's say, let's say A JD.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Vance runs for president with Donald Trump as vice president.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He can't. It's a it's constitutional prohibited. He can't do
because you can't be in line to see the president.
So that's why he can't be the Speaker of the
House now either.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Nope, Nope, he's done all that, all right, So anyway
we've got that rumor will be floated today. Donald Trump
is afraid of Barack Obama, which brings us back to where.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Was well, I mean, I could start another great room
for the Democrats. Donald Trump right now is back channeling
the Republican lawmakers who own the Senate and own the
House to change the amendment so that now, well we're
not going to go for a third term. What we'll
do is the current term now runs ten years. Just
(11:21):
float that idea. I mean, it doesn't have to be
based in any reality. You'll get the New York Times
talking about it, and then you'll hear I think the
ultimate goal is this, If I'm just being honest, they
continue to act like he's trying to be a king,
he's trying to take over the government, and so that
they can get people to try to I hate to
say it, take shots and I don't just mean verbal shots.
(11:42):
They would like to see. Well, you know there's a
Twitter account right now. I just saw it the other day.
Is Trump dead?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
That's an every day they just tweet still not dead,
still not dead, still not dead. One day they're going
to say today's the day. The sooner that they, the Democrats,
can get to that day, the happier they will be.
And so I believe that that's what they're trying to
do by making up all this crap about Trump is
get the mentally unstable amongst us into a fervored pitch
(12:13):
where in order to save democracy in order to save
the union, you must stop this man from becoming a king.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I mean, did we have to go back to the
age old conversation played out in the cinema. I can't believe.
I remember this movie called The Dead Zone. Oh, you
have an opportunity to kill Hitler. I thought you were
the equivalent of I thought you were going to go
back to the theater.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
And then remember the comment of Johnny Depp, when's the
last time an actor yes served the nation?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I got a I got an idea. Yesterday we were
talking about Mandami, mom Dommy, Mama Domi cradle to grave.
He'll take care of you, mam and Donnie. It is
popping up everywhere, so it even popped up on the
other podcast We do so Mom Donnie, let's if you
if you we talked about yesterday that if he wins
the election, Donald Trump has even floated the fact we're
(13:07):
gonna start cutting off federal funding and now realize that
goes straight to the courts.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yes, it does. You can't just do that.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
He said he's going to arrest them. Yeah, Trump said
he'll arrest mom DOMI, Mom Dommy says he's going to
arrest Uh. The Israeli Prime Minister. Everybody's gonna arrest everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yes, it's going to be a circle jerk of arrest
over here, and James Comey will be in charge of that.
So but if if you do elect Montdamie, and we
did talk about it, I remember this, we talked about
this yesterday. Is this going to end up being life
art imitating life or life imitating art? Because if you
(13:44):
elect Montdammie in New York, your next mayor is going
to have to be Snake Plisken Kurt Russell in the
ever popular Escape from New York. That's the only person
that's going to be able to bring any order, any
order at least in his blood circle as they call
it in The Boy Scouts, at least in his blood circle.
(14:04):
And then that will be followed up by Escape from
La also starring Snake Pliskit. So the Kurt Russell character
is going to have to come in to clean up
New York City after you have all of the As
we know, DeSantis is rolling out the red carpet down
there in Florida. Anybody who has an income at all
in New York City is already buying property in Florida.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
An average median house price that they're buying right now,
according to the real estate agents in Florida, is seventy
five million dollars. Meaning these are the uber uber wealthy
getting out of New York right now in advance. Because
let's be honest, this is what you're looking at, Mom,
Donnie is a shot to the head. Do you want
(14:45):
to get a bullet in the brain or you get
Andrew Cuomo. That's just a shot in the kidneys. True,
you might survive in Andrew Cuomo mayoral run. Here is
Cuomo is a disaster?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Everybody not it's on chance that your wife's gonna get
sexually harassed.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
But I mean, think about this. Andrew Cuomo is most
famous right now for killing tens of thousands of elderly
that's his that's what he's disclaimed to fameous. I offed
a lot of people, senior citizens. That's what I did
by making sure that they were put in with COVID patients.
That's what I did as the mayor, or, as the governor.
What can I do as mayor? But here's another idea
(15:21):
that I'm coming up with. Donald Trump not going to
go quietly into the night. And I believe that Donald
Trump is a response to Barack Obama. You know what
I'm saying. We went left. The country went pretty far left.
This is when you started getting the trans rights, you
got gay marriage under Obama. You got a lot of
leftist moves that were made. The nation responded with Donald Trump.
(15:45):
That was the answer. So and these pendulums swinging, they
get they get a little out of. Yeah. So like
what you're seeing right now with Donald Trump, with when
you're talking about the deportations, and I don't know if
you've been watching the ice moves that they've made. They've
been firing ice directors in certain cities. They want they're
going to change them with border patrol people now because
they want them to be more aggressive.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
They didn't hit their number.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, so we have to con the nation is moving
further in one direction currently, but you see other cities
like Portland and Chicago and New York moving in the
other direction. But they too will eventually want to counteract.
Could it be it lines up perfectly time wise that
(16:28):
when Mom Donnie's term is he's running for reelection, he
is then replaced by New York City's favorite son, Donald J.
Trump as mayor Donald Trump could come back into New
York as a hero. Look what I did before as
your president. Look at the mess Mam Donnie's created. I
(16:49):
can fix this very quickly. I could get all everybody's
crime down, property levels back up. I mean, I could
totally see him going returning to New York City to
save it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And somebody was talking about the fact that Donald Trump
will be the only force that after we talked about yesterday.
I think the number of companies who already have a
footprint from Wall Street in Texas now at least they
have a home base. So when Montdamie wins and the
streets are filled with nothing but crazy zombies, uh, and
somebody from I don't know, Edward Jones jails out, what's
(17:23):
the rally point. The answer is Dallas, So everybody just
moves to Dallas. So after Wall Street and then you're
gonna lose all of the clothing markets, you're gonna lose
all that stuff that's going by bye. You can't you
can't even get to work in New York City because
it's so nuts up there. So Donald Trump is the
only one that could convince Wall Street to come back
(17:44):
to New York. And I was thinking, you know something
that may be that may be true. He's got a
pretty good connection with a lot of the a lot
of the higher ups on the Wall Street crowd, so
maybe he would.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Be able to get them to move back.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Because once you rip the capital Nations, the heart of
capitalism out of New York City, you got nothing left
but right mice eating trash in the streets and zombies
walking around waiting for the next EBT card.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Depose it.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's been a pretty horrible forty eight hours or so
from Momdami, and I think it was capped off last night. Polymarket,
their new poll has him losing the New York City race.
Now he's now losing, and so the in the gambling markets,
the money has now shifted to Cuomo. So it's I mean,
(18:36):
he literally had a twenty point lead on Cuomo a
week ago. Today it's a dead heat. If I don't
know if curtis Sliwall, what percentage of Sliwa voters would
break in either direction or would just stay home. I
don't know what happens if he gets out. He's not
going to get out. He said it over and over again.
(18:56):
But this right now, New York City is staring down
the earl of a gun. You're gonna get shot. It
just depends on where you want to take that shot.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I would have thought that by now Sliebele would have
agreed to go under the Cooma because I know he
hates Cuomo, but his real desire is to clean up
the streets. And you would have thought that CUOMA would
have already guaranteed him a position much like the NYC DHS.
So it's the New York City Department of Homeland Security.
Just put him in charge of the streets because that's
(19:27):
his real mission in life, clean up the streets and
take care of the people.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
That probably hurts some way against the Mom Damie voters.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Anyway, so we've got big news in the state of
South Carolina kinda governorment Master held a press conference yesterday
to announce because of the freeze and the snap spending,
which is going to happen Saturday. Well, I guess it
happens Friday, because that'll be the first missed if.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Well, November first is when they're supposed to get their payment.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Okay, so Saturday will be November first, So the freeze
is going to go into effect and those.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
That money won't be there.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Everybody is ready to make sure that we take care
of South Carolinians. Certainly we would. A couple of things
surprise me. Ten percent of South Carolinians receive SNAP benefits.
That's a lot of people you look at, more than
five hundred thousand. Now, what even surprised me more was
we spend a one hundred and four million dollars average
(20:30):
one hundred million dollars a month. I say we spend
we distribute federal money last month one hundred and four
million to pay SNAP benefits in the state of South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, in May of twenty twenty five, the federal government
gave South Carolina one hundred and five point eight six
million dollars for SNAP. So I don't know if some
people fell off the program for last month, but that's
a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Now, the one sc fund we're finding out doesn't have
any money in it, but we're going to open it
up to help because we're going to be collecting from citizens.
You're being called to contribute now, and our corporate partners
all across the state we need to contribute. We have
(21:15):
in the past during natural disasters like Hurricane Helene, that
was the highest year that we generated money from citizens
and corporate partners at six million point one. Don't forget
the point one one. So we only need to generate
ninety three point nine in order to hit the one
hundred million up one hundred and four. Well, we don't
(21:37):
know where the exact number is going to be. Somewhere
a round one hundred and four hundred and five is
Kelly points out. So we need a lot of contributions
into the one what's it called one sc fund? So
the state itself is not going to be giving out
money because it is not legal for the state.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
To do that.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, that is an interesting rub I don't know why
that would be a law that the federal government bans
the state government from helping their own citizens. I don't
understand that.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
But you can do it, but you can't do it
under SNAP. But this way you could actually fund Well,
you're not funding SNAP, you're funding the food banks directly.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I like Harvest Hope CEO. Aaron Rose comment, who's pretty
We'll just be level headed. Honestly, one hundred million per
month is not something we've ever seen philanthropy rays in
a week anywhere. So never mind South Carolina. But it's
a matter of having money to buy this food, and
we're going to buy it as fast as we possibly
can with whatever money's given to us. But once again,
(22:39):
we're limited by the amount of donations that we receive. Now,
when you're talking about SNAP recipients, we're looking at like
Jonathan mentioned, over a half million here in the state
of South Carolina. I think it was five hundred and
fifty thousand ballpark, and if you're looking at that, understand
that about forty seven I think percent of them were
children people under the age of eighteen. So we're talking
(23:02):
about roughly two hundred and eighty five thousand South Carolinians
who are adults who have either chosen or for whatever reason,
are unable to work, or they are making less than
It depends on if you're single, married, if you have families,
all that sort of stuff. But we'll just use the
(23:22):
ballpark figure of around thirty two thousand dollars a year
seems to be about if you're making less than thirty
two thousand, you could then get SNAP benefits, which seems
to me that if I'm making thirty two thousand a year,
I could figure out a way how to put some
food on the table. I'll give you an example of you. Yes,
(23:43):
my son, who I think most of you have heard
reference is somebody who struggles with autism and a we'll
say low IQ, he had some birth issues. But Jordan
lives on his own. He makes an estimated thousand dollars
a month, and off that thousand dollars a month, he
pays five hundred dollars a month in rent. Now the
(24:05):
thousand is the take home, by the way, so he
pays five hundred a month in rent, and that covers
his you know, all his needs at the home that
he that he's renting in. But he also figures out
a way to buy food, so he's able to survive
off about you know, close to eighty dollars a week
I guess in groceries. So he's figuring it out at
(24:26):
twelve thousand dollars a year. You're telling me that if
you're making twenty five thousand dollars a year, you can't
figure out a way how to put a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich together and live off that for a
couple of weeks. That I mean, I want to be sympathetic,
and I am sympathetic to people who have challenges beyond
normal challenges. But if your normal challenge is I just
(24:49):
can't find a job I want. I look, I've done
a lot of crappy jobs in my life that I
didn't want to do, and I've done them as recently
as in my mid thirties. Where I didn't I wasn't
able to get a job I wanted. I took several
crappy jobs just to make about twenty five thirty thousand
dollars a year. I've done it recently, so I'm empathetic
(25:14):
that it sucks, but I don't believe that it's the
government's job to cover you.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I don't know if I've ever told you the story before,
but when I was working in radio, and it wasn't
my first job, it was my second, third, third job. Yeah,
because I decided I would have lived in an apartment
by myself.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Oh, I didn't want a roommate moving on us.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
So now this is gonna cost money, sure, but I
would find myself three four days a week minimum or
on average. Probably I would buy this oscar Meyer product
that I haven't seen in the store shelves forever.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Okay, but it was.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Like a let's say it's a piece of turkey. So
it's a it's like a dinner slice piece of turkey.
It comes in a package and it's got gravy with it.
Oh okay, And I think you could buy that at
the time. I think you could buy that, like for
like a buck twenty nine maybe.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Maybe a little more sounds good.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
And I would get a boil in the bag rice
and I would boil the rice, and you would also
boil this package.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
That's the way you heated it. Gosh, this is a flashback,
coming back clear as day.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And you'd cut the package and I would pour the
gravy with the turkey over the rice and eat it
in like a bowl. And that was That was lunch.
It could be dinner. I mean I had to eat.
I had to figure out a way to eat for
like two dollars a meal because I made the decision
I wanted to live in the work by myself. But
you can figure it out if you're committed like I
(26:42):
am and always have been. When Barack Obama introduced I mean,
I know we talked about this, the Cash for Clunkers program.
Kiss my ass, I'll get a horse and have to
take care of it and saddle it every day and
ride at the work before ever take a dime of
federal money from Baracco Hussein Obama, for God's sake. But
you don't find many people that have that mindset.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
No, And did you see the video of the mom
basically yelling at the son who got a job. Yes,
I mean, and that's that it's impossible for you and
I and most people of our generation, most people of
our backgrounds where we had moms and dads who worked.
(27:25):
In my instance, both my mother and father, my stepfather.
I'd never met my real father, but my stepfather, they
both worked pretty long days in order to provide even
then a lower middle class income. But in this instance,
that mother, she was raised by a family or a
mother who lived exclusively off the government aid. That's all
(27:50):
she's ever known. She has never worked a job a
day of her life. And she has a teenage son
who was so proud of himself that he had gotten
a job. And when he came home to announce that
news with a sense of pride, the mom freaked out
and said, you've got to quit that job or they're
going to kick me off. That's right, I can't get
(28:13):
a job. I'm forty, I've never worked. I'm unemployable. I
don't even want to be employable. And you're going to
ruin this if you continue with this job. So he
was forced to quit his job to help his mother.
That's the way he could help the family. Yes, by
not working. And that mindset is so opposite of how
(28:33):
human beings actually grow and accomplish things. But that's what
the government has done to a lot of people. I'm
hopeful that Donald Trump will encourage the Republicans in Congress
to use the nuclear option and use it soon.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I will say this, I was pleasantly surprised, shocked. Yeah,
I guess it was to find out that of the
one hundred million dollars that we would raise TikTok governor
make some phone calls, ninety nine percent, according to the
press the governor yesterday at the press conference, ninety nine
percent of that money is going to go straight to
(29:12):
the food banks and pantries to help South Carolinians. You
mean to tell me we have a fund, the one
South Carolina Fund, that obviously has governmental structure that we're
operating at a one percent administrative fee.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I would assume that it's a zero percent fee coming
from us. It would be the one percent would be
going from the food banks like Harvest Hope food bank
that has to pay for gas and all that, because
they're the ones who are going to take the money.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It's going to be the articles it does say it
says exactly where the other one percent was going to go.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
But Harvest Hope and all those food banks, they're the
ones who are going to have to use their vehicles
to go to the stores and buy the food because
all the one sees do is just direct to positive
into their accounts.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
The government isn't operating any kind of fiduciary responsibility for
only one percent. I thought I had a point of
pride South Carolina. Turns out a don't no.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
And I think that also when you're talking about raising money,
you pointed out earlier with six point one million was
the most that we've ever raised for anything, and the
vast majority, I think they said seventy four percent of
that money came from corporate donors. On the six point
one million, you should expect no money from corporate donors
because what would happen typically is Walmart in South Carolina
(30:28):
say they would say, wow, okay, we got hit pretty
bad here in Walmart, and the whole state has been hit.
The Arkansas Home Office would say send three hundred thousand
dollars to South Carolina. But in this instance, it's the
whole country that's right, And so they're not going to
have corporate offices sending anything. And the local management what
(30:52):
are they going to do. They're going to just say
we're taking They can't make that executive decision to take
money out of the coffers and put it into a
government fund or anything like that. So this is really
just going to be anybody who wants to donate, which
is again why I would I don't like the fact
that we've got ten percent of South Carolina on government assistance.
This is disgusting and that should show you that there's
(31:13):
a massive problem with what's going on not only in
South Carolina but the country but in the interim. Because
this is something that needs an entire culture shift. We
need to work on that, and that's like a five, ten,
fifteen year type of problem that needs to be addressed quickly.
But you can't expect people who have never fed themselves
(31:34):
to suddenly start feeding themselves this weekend, and what's going
to happen. I'm I'm rather confident of it within not
maybe not this weekend, but within a week. I would
imagine you'll see legit riots like people storming stores, demand
and violence will happen, and people will get hurt, innocent people,
(31:56):
people who are trying to steal the food, people trying
to stop them from stealing the food. All of this
chaos can be avoided if the Republicans would just invoke
the nuclear option, which again to say that they don't
want to do it, you just did it. You literally
just did it, like two weeks ago, in order to
approve all of those confirmations from the executive branch.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I was reminded of a conversation I had off the
record with a person who may or may not have
been part of the General Assembly at the time. I
mean more disclaimers kind of put on this conversation so
that I'm never called in the question to divulge who
said this. But I was asking why do we allow
these check cashing places to operate? These are legally allowed
(32:41):
interest rate sharks out there charging people an unbelievable amount
of money with fees and interest rates. Yeah, And the
answer was if we shut those places down, people with
low income will have no place to go to get money,
and if they don't have that, the crime rate's going
to go through the roof. I thought about the conversation
(33:01):
again yesterday as I was thinking, TikTok, the first of
November's coming, somebody's having this conversation somewhere. You're gonna have
to find a way to make sure just to keep
a lid on it, because.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You've already got people out there.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I heard one yesterday where a woman's already given you Saturday,
this Saturday between six thirty and seven thirty. It's when
her initiative claims that everybody needs to rush to Walmart
and steal whatever you need because they can't arrest all
of us, and we'll get in and out in an hour. Now,
I haven't heard anybody else. So social media give an
exact day with an exact time, and that's when it's
(33:38):
gonna happen. But there's a lot of those social media
videos out there with people saying we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Eat, yeah, and look, you're gonna eat, right. That's when
people are hungry, they eat, and so they're gonna get
theirs now how they get it. They're either going to
legally rip off the taxpayer, which they've been doing now
for well for fifty years or so, since the War
on Poverty began in the sixties. They've been ripping off
(34:06):
the US taxpayers. Or they're going to just rob the stores.
And if they start robbing the stores, if the stores
attempt to stop them, that person, whoever that person was,
makes a point. If we've got a hundred of us
robbing the store at the same time, they might catch
ten of us, but the other ninety are going to
get away, and there's gonna be chaos. There's going to
(34:27):
be like when you see these videos where they do
those things in like gas stations where thirty kids show up.
They're all wearing masks or hoods and they just run in.
They knock everything over, they're grabbing whatever they can, they
run out, the poor store clerk can't do anything, and
or if the store clerk attempts to stop anybody, they
get pummeled. I would hate to see that. I would
(34:51):
hate to see all that. I'd hate to go to
my QT gas station, which I love, the QTY and
see fifty kids destroying it, or fifty anybody, he's just
destroying it because once you get hungry, you might have
you know, forty year olds in there grabbing donuts and
anything else they can grab.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
You gotta keep your head on the swibbl when this
thing starts to hit, because we're already they're already I'm
not making this up. They're already telling you. They're already
telling you online on social media posts what they.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Plan to do.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Will they do it?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I got a feeling whenever somebody tells you who they are,
you are to listen to them
Welcome to the Jonathan and Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jonathan Rush, I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I don't think any Democrat has. Kelly Nash, there was
an authoritarian leader called that Olf Hitler, same way it
happened with Hitler. When Hitler MISLINI and Hitler Hitler. That
is literally Hitlaryan, we'll go with Hitler.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Donald Trump believes Hitler did some good things. Jonathan and
Kelly Show, WOC Now I realized that Cole Wallace doesn't
have a great viewership for her show. No, but I
didn't even know even she doesn't watch the show because
she's called Hitler. I mean, she's called Trump Hitler multiple times.
(00:41):
But maybe she's not a Democrat. Maybe oh you're white.
She did serve in the George they called George W.
Bush Hitler.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I would find the idea of Democrats that you're unaware
that any Democrats, like AOC or any of them have
had referred to Donald Trump as Hitler. To kind of
paraphrase that word that was made up. I'd find that hilarious.
That's hitlararius. The fact that you don't know about this.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Hilarian was another word I did not have on my
bingo card. I'm not even sure that's a word.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
No, they made that up, So I made up hilarious.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So, but you know, and I will give Pritzker a
pass at this point because I have not done a
complete study, nor do I intend to. But I don't
know that he's actually he said he has at compared Hitler.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
He did because he told you I built America's Did
he say America's and I built? I said, Maybe I'm
paraphrasing incorrectly. He built America's largest Holocaust museum, So I
know about authoritarians. So there was a direct reference to
Hitler having.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
To do with a comparison to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But I'm not sure if he's ever come out and
said Donald Trump is Hitler. Plenty of Democrats have. Yeah,
all right, So so Hitler is meeting today with you,
that's gonna be a note.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well, isn't that like one of his role models? I've
heard that too. Did Trump desperately wants to be possibly?
If possibly? Maybe he's hopeful? And that's funny. Are they
making a big deal out of the fact that he
said he's hopeful that he'll get to meet with Kim
Jong on.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
He did say that.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I know that, But I'm saying, are they making a
big deal out of the fact, because that seems crazy
that Donald Trump would say, oh, I really do hope
I can meet with Kim Jung on, and they they
asked him yesterday, would you extend your trip because he's
supposed to come home. I guess late Thursday, so that's
when he's supposed to come back. But would you extend
it till the weekend? Maybe for a chance to hang
(02:43):
out with Kim Jong on? Am I I'm not against it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Can you imagine the Secret Service guys who are currently
on this trip and they go, wit, what did he
just say?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
We're going to North Korea?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Boys? Absolutely all right, somebody get on the horn, get
to DC.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Wouldn't need some backup on this. We're going to fly
from South Korea. We're gonna do a pond skipper over
here and jump over the forty seventh parallel that we're
going to land in North Korea.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's not a long flight, no dangerous, not long not
dangerous landing.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It is this dangerous when you get out, all right,
So we don't know what's going to happen. With that,
he's already offered it. He's offered it. We'll see if
he takes him up on it. Now, it's been a
pretty damn successful trip unless you're listening to NBC News,
which I did, and their summary of the trip for
Trump so far, what are they saying? Nothing really tangible
(03:37):
has come out of this trip except for the fact
that he admitted that he can't run in twenty twenty eight.
That's the only thing tangible that NBC News saw coming out.
And you know, given that he's been what three days
into this trip, that's so anything tangible. So I don't
know they did they not watch Are they lighting Nicole Wallace?
(03:57):
Did they not even watch their own coverage? Because I
believe in even NBC News has covered to some degree
the trade deals, particularly the one that came out of
Japan where our buddy Stephen Colbert claims the only thing
that Trump got out of that was a golden golf ball.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's interesting how they always minimize anything that he does.
I'm very anticipatorily looking forward to his meeting with Chi because,
according to Scott Bessen when I watched him Sunday morning,
I'm trying to remember which show. He was on Sunday morning,
but he was checking in live from China, and he
was saying that they had already established him and his counterpart.
(04:38):
They were tasked with putting together the framework for the
trade deal so that when Trump and She meet that
there's really nothing left to negotiate. It's already been handled
and we have arrived.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And I think this is just a signing.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, this is just those two guys are going to
get together. It's going to be a very pleasant meeting.
It'll go about three hours or so, but there's nothing
for them to negotiate, basically, And Besson said, we've got it,
and both China and America, particularly the farmers of America,
are going to be very happy with this deal. There's
nobody say like the media is like acting like, well,
(05:15):
there's no shot now for a real deal. What are
you talking about?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And to say that you got nothing tangible out of
the Japanese stuff. You got five hundred billion dollars coming
in US investment investment here?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is that just for the ballroom? Five hundred.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Billy.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yes, they're going to turn the entire state of Virginia
into one gigantic ballroom with five hundred billion dollars and
it was reporting yesterday and I'm like, wait minute, what
did we get the Eskimos to agree to buy ice too?
Because you got japan to agree to buy rice?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
What we were selling ice to Eskimos, We're selling rice
to the Japanese. Unfriggin believable.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Now, the the big news at NBC, one of the
MSNBC in particularly this morning when to cling to was
the admission that Mika shared with the first thing this
morning that he pretty much admitted he can't run again
in twenty twenty eight, on the heels of Mike Johnson
saying that yesterday, we don't see any way we can
clear that through the calendar, given the congressional approval, it
would need to overturn an amendment. But now the next
(06:21):
rumor out of somebody's mouth is going to be, this
is because Trump admitted he can't run in twenty twenty
eight because he's afraid of Barry. Because they're afraid of Barry,
Barack Obama, Trump is afraid of Baraco. That's what the
rumor is going to be, because Barack Obama. Somebody's already
floated that Barack Obama should run for a third term.
And that's why Trump back down because he didn't want
(06:43):
to go head to head with Barack Obama. I'm saying,
you're out of your mind, but Trump would do would
rather do nothing more then go head to head with
a presidential election. You know this may actually move the
needle over in Congress. You want to see a dock
down by a knockdown political brawl. Put Barack Obama up
(07:05):
against Donald Trump for president in twenty twenty eight. Trump
would salivate. He's salivate and thinking about that.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Well, could we even just have the how about this?
How about we agreed neither one of them are really
going to run for president? But put it on pay
perview Barack versus Trump debate. I think people would pay
to watch a Barack versus Donald Trump debate absolutely. And
then and make the rules a little less stringent than
(07:31):
what we've currently got so that each answer can go
three minutes three minutes, and that the other guys Mike
is muted while that guy's talking, and then you mute
the other guy when the counterpart starts.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
That will be it that you look South Carolina one,
you want to do a fundraiser, See if you can
get that as a fundraiser.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
That's a pay perview that.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
We imagine if they got the coffers, can you we'd
have it live at Williams Brice Stadium.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Incredible.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
How much would you pay to go into Williams Brice
have it up there on the scoreboard. We're sitting there
on the center stage. Yes, and then who he gets
to do that? And no, the forty fourth president of
these United States, Barack who saved No Bama.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Somebody get h back on the phone. We got a
pay per view that will generate three times what we need.
You could run three or four months of Snap benefits
of South Carolina because that would be an incredible fundraiser.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And in the gold corner.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Wearing the heaviest trucks any fighter has ever worn before
with their gold lemee.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Coming in is number forty five and number forty seven.
That's great, Oh my god, that would be so fantastic,
a great pay per view event. It's a live event Vegas.
It'd probably go to a place like Vegas. Everybody would
watch that, they would want to see it.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
That would be great.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And we both know that Barack Obama's never going to
run for a third term. He's already told you, I'm
too lazy to do it. I'm not going to get
out and meet with people. If I could just sit
in a basement somewhere and whisper into somebody's ear wearing
his sweatpants, Yes, wearing his sweat pants, and he's too
frigging lazy to get out and do anything. Something very
similar they were talking about. Imagine being the president jd
(09:22):
Vance or Marco Rubio or whoever.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
In your first term. You're going to wake up every
morning and they're not wrong. You're going to wake up
every morning and truth social will be loaded with what
you need to be getting done today, critiquing your yesterday performance.
And Donald Trump is not going to go quietly into
the night. Donald Donald Trump doesn't need to run for
(09:46):
a third time.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I might as well go ahead making vice president and
then you go hang out in the basement somewhere with
Barry because Donald Trump is going to keep running it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, why Barack Obama did run the Joe Biden administration.
I don't anybody who says otherwise is a fool Donald Trump.
Everybody knows that it was Barry calling the shots under
Joe Biden. But Donald Trump is going to do it
above ground. He's not going to hide it. He's going
to put it out there for you, and he's going
to say this is what he needs to do or
she whoever he decides will be the president. He will
(10:15):
hand pick his successor. And Kelly's right, he couldn't just
text it. He's got to put it on social media
because Trump wants credit for it, absolutely, absolutely, and it
puts pressure on that individual.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Now, we've never seen this happen before where a president
comes out of the position after two terms the vice president.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Let's say, let's say A JD.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Vance runs for president with Donald Trump as vice president.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He can't. It's a it's constitutional prohibited. He can't do
because you can't be in line to see the president.
So that's why he can't be the Speaker of the
House now either.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Nope, Nope, he's done all that, all right, So anyway
we've got that rumor will be floated today. Donald Trump
is afraid of Barack Obama, which brings us back to where.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Was well, I mean, I could start another great room
for the Democrats. Donald Trump right now is back channeling
the Republican lawmakers who own the Senate and own the
House to change the amendment so that now, well we're
not going to go for a third term. What we'll
do is the current term now runs ten years. Just
(11:21):
float that idea. I mean, it doesn't have to be
based in any reality. You'll get the New York Times
talking about it, and then you'll hear I think the
ultimate goal is this, If I'm just being honest, they
continue to act like he's trying to be a king,
he's trying to take over the government, and so that
they can get people to try to I hate to
say it, take shots and I don't just mean verbal shots.
(11:42):
They would like to see. Well, you know there's a
Twitter account right now. I just saw it the other day.
Is Trump dead?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
That's an every day they just tweet still not dead,
still not dead, still not dead. One day they're going
to say today's the day. The sooner that they, the Democrats,
can get to that day, the happier they will be.
And so I believe that that's what they're trying to
do by making up all this crap about Trump is
get the mentally unstable amongst us into a fervored pitch
(12:13):
where in order to save democracy in order to save
the union, you must stop this man from becoming a king.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I mean, did we have to go back to the
age old conversation played out in the cinema. I can't believe.
I remember this movie called The Dead Zone. Oh, you
have an opportunity to kill Hitler. I thought you were
the equivalent of I thought you were going to go
back to the theater.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
And then remember the comment of Johnny Depp, when's the
last time an actor yes served the nation?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I got a I got an idea. Yesterday we were
talking about Mandami, mom Dommy, Mama Domi cradle to grave.
He'll take care of you, mam and Donnie. It is
popping up everywhere, so it even popped up on the
other podcast We do so Mom Donnie, let's if you
if you we talked about yesterday that if he wins
the election, Donald Trump has even floated the fact we're
(13:07):
gonna start cutting off federal funding and now realize that
goes straight to the courts.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yes, it does. You can't just do that.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
He said he's going to arrest them. Yeah, Trump said
he'll arrest mom DOMI, Mom Dommy says he's going to
arrest Uh. The Israeli Prime Minister. Everybody's gonna arrest everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yes, it's going to be a circle jerk of arrest
over here, and James Comey will be in charge of that.
So but if if you do elect Montdamie, and we
did talk about it, I remember this, we talked about
this yesterday. Is this going to end up being life
art imitating life or life imitating art? Because if you
(13:44):
elect Montdammie in New York, your next mayor is going
to have to be Snake Plisken Kurt Russell in the
ever popular Escape from New York. That's the only person
that's going to be able to bring any order, any
order at least in his blood circle as they call
it in The Boy Scouts, at least in his blood circle.
(14:04):
And then that will be followed up by Escape from
La also starring Snake Pliskit. So the Kurt Russell character
is going to have to come in to clean up
New York City after you have all of the As
we know, DeSantis is rolling out the red carpet down
there in Florida. Anybody who has an income at all
in New York City is already buying property in Florida.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
An average median house price that they're buying right now,
according to the real estate agents in Florida, is seventy
five million dollars. Meaning these are the uber uber wealthy
getting out of New York right now in advance. Because
let's be honest, this is what you're looking at, Mom,
Donnie is a shot to the head. Do you want
(14:45):
to get a bullet in the brain or you get
Andrew Cuomo. That's just a shot in the kidneys. True,
you might survive in Andrew Cuomo mayoral run. Here is
Cuomo is a disaster?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Everybody not it's on chance that your wife's gonna get
sexually harassed.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
But I mean, think about this. Andrew Cuomo is most
famous right now for killing tens of thousands of elderly
that's his that's what he's disclaimed to fameous. I offed
a lot of people, senior citizens. That's what I did
by making sure that they were put in with COVID patients.
That's what I did as the mayor, or, as the governor.
What can I do as mayor? But here's another idea
(15:21):
that I'm coming up with. Donald Trump not going to
go quietly into the night. And I believe that Donald
Trump is a response to Barack Obama. You know what
I'm saying. We went left. The country went pretty far left.
This is when you started getting the trans rights, you
got gay marriage under Obama. You got a lot of
leftist moves that were made. The nation responded with Donald Trump.
(15:45):
That was the answer. So and these pendulums swinging, they
get they get a little out of. Yeah. So like
what you're seeing right now with Donald Trump, with when
you're talking about the deportations, and I don't know if
you've been watching the ice moves that they've made. They've
been firing ice directors in certain cities. They want they're
going to change them with border patrol people now because
they want them to be more aggressive.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
They didn't hit their number.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, so we have to con the nation is moving
further in one direction currently, but you see other cities
like Portland and Chicago and New York moving in the
other direction. But they too will eventually want to counteract.
Could it be it lines up perfectly time wise that
(16:28):
when Mom Donnie's term is he's running for reelection, he
is then replaced by New York City's favorite son, Donald J.
Trump as mayor Donald Trump could come back into New
York as a hero. Look what I did before as
your president. Look at the mess Mam Donnie's created. I
(16:49):
can fix this very quickly. I could get all everybody's
crime down, property levels back up. I mean, I could
totally see him going returning to New York City to
save it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And somebody was talking about the fact that Donald Trump
will be the only force that after we talked about yesterday.
I think the number of companies who already have a
footprint from Wall Street in Texas now at least they
have a home base. So when Montdamie wins and the
streets are filled with nothing but crazy zombies, uh, and
somebody from I don't know, Edward Jones jails out, what's
(17:23):
the rally point. The answer is Dallas, So everybody just
moves to Dallas. So after Wall Street and then you're
gonna lose all of the clothing markets, you're gonna lose
all that stuff that's going by bye. You can't you
can't even get to work in New York City because
it's so nuts up there. So Donald Trump is the
only one that could convince Wall Street to come back
(17:44):
to New York. And I was thinking, you know something
that may be that may be true. He's got a
pretty good connection with a lot of the a lot
of the higher ups on the Wall Street crowd, so
maybe he would.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Be able to get them to move back.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Because once you rip the capital Nations, the heart of
capitalism out of New York City, you got nothing left
but right mice eating trash in the streets and zombies
walking around waiting for the next EBT card.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Depose it.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's been a pretty horrible forty eight hours or so
from Momdami, and I think it was capped off last night. Polymarket,
their new poll has him losing the New York City race.
Now he's now losing, and so the in the gambling markets,
the money has now shifted to Cuomo. So it's I mean,
(18:36):
he literally had a twenty point lead on Cuomo a
week ago. Today it's a dead heat. If I don't
know if curtis Sliwall, what percentage of Sliwa voters would
break in either direction or would just stay home. I
don't know what happens if he gets out. He's not
going to get out. He said it over and over again.
(18:56):
But this right now, New York City is staring down
the earl of a gun. You're gonna get shot. It
just depends on where you want to take that shot.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I would have thought that by now Sliebele would have
agreed to go under the Cooma because I know he
hates Cuomo, but his real desire is to clean up
the streets. And you would have thought that CUOMA would
have already guaranteed him a position much like the NYC DHS.
So it's the New York City Department of Homeland Security.
Just put him in charge of the streets because that's
(19:27):
his real mission in life, clean up the streets and
take care of the people.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
That probably hurts some way against the Mom Damie voters.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Anyway, so we've got big news in the state of
South Carolina kinda governorment Master held a press conference yesterday
to announce because of the freeze and the snap spending,
which is going to happen Saturday. Well, I guess it
happens Friday, because that'll be the first missed if.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Well, November first is when they're supposed to get their payment.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Okay, so Saturday will be November first, So the freeze
is going to go into effect and those.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
That money won't be there.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Everybody is ready to make sure that we take care
of South Carolinians. Certainly we would. A couple of things
surprise me. Ten percent of South Carolinians receive SNAP benefits.
That's a lot of people you look at, more than
five hundred thousand. Now, what even surprised me more was
we spend a one hundred and four million dollars average
(20:30):
one hundred million dollars a month. I say we spend
we distribute federal money last month one hundred and four
million to pay SNAP benefits in the state of South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, in May of twenty twenty five, the federal government
gave South Carolina one hundred and five point eight six
million dollars for SNAP. So I don't know if some
people fell off the program for last month, but that's
a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Now, the one sc fund we're finding out doesn't have
any money in it, but we're going to open it
up to help because we're going to be collecting from citizens.
You're being called to contribute now, and our corporate partners
all across the state we need to contribute. We have
(21:15):
in the past during natural disasters like Hurricane Helene, that
was the highest year that we generated money from citizens
and corporate partners at six million point one. Don't forget
the point one one. So we only need to generate
ninety three point nine in order to hit the one
hundred million up one hundred and four. Well, we don't
(21:37):
know where the exact number is going to be. Somewhere
a round one hundred and four hundred and five is
Kelly points out. So we need a lot of contributions
into the one what's it called one sc fund? So
the state itself is not going to be giving out
money because it is not legal for the state.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
To do that.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, that is an interesting rub I don't know why
that would be a law that the federal government bans
the state government from helping their own citizens. I don't
understand that.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
But you can do it, but you can't do it
under SNAP. But this way you could actually fund Well,
you're not funding SNAP, you're funding the food banks directly.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I like Harvest Hope CEO. Aaron Rose comment, who's pretty
We'll just be level headed. Honestly, one hundred million per
month is not something we've ever seen philanthropy rays in
a week anywhere. So never mind South Carolina. But it's
a matter of having money to buy this food, and
we're going to buy it as fast as we possibly
can with whatever money's given to us. But once again,
(22:39):
we're limited by the amount of donations that we receive. Now,
when you're talking about SNAP recipients, we're looking at like
Jonathan mentioned, over a half million here in the state
of South Carolina. I think it was five hundred and
fifty thousand ballpark, and if you're looking at that, understand
that about forty seven I think percent of them were
children people under the age of eighteen. So we're talking
(23:02):
about roughly two hundred and eighty five thousand South Carolinians
who are adults who have either chosen or for whatever reason,
are unable to work, or they are making less than
It depends on if you're single, married, if you have families,
all that sort of stuff. But we'll just use the
(23:22):
ballpark figure of around thirty two thousand dollars a year
seems to be about if you're making less than thirty
two thousand, you could then get SNAP benefits, which seems
to me that if I'm making thirty two thousand a year,
I could figure out a way how to put some
food on the table. I'll give you an example of you. Yes,
(23:43):
my son, who I think most of you have heard
reference is somebody who struggles with autism and a we'll
say low IQ, he had some birth issues. But Jordan
lives on his own. He makes an estimated thousand dollars
a month, and off that thousand dollars a month, he
pays five hundred dollars a month in rent. Now the
(24:05):
thousand is the take home, by the way, so he
pays five hundred a month in rent, and that covers
his you know, all his needs at the home that
he that he's renting in. But he also figures out
a way to buy food, so he's able to survive
off about you know, close to eighty dollars a week
I guess in groceries. So he's figuring it out at
(24:26):
twelve thousand dollars a year. You're telling me that if
you're making twenty five thousand dollars a year, you can't
figure out a way how to put a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich together and live off that for a
couple of weeks. That I mean, I want to be sympathetic,
and I am sympathetic to people who have challenges beyond
normal challenges. But if your normal challenge is I just
(24:49):
can't find a job I want. I look, I've done
a lot of crappy jobs in my life that I
didn't want to do, and I've done them as recently
as in my mid thirties. Where I didn't I wasn't
able to get a job I wanted. I took several
crappy jobs just to make about twenty five thirty thousand
dollars a year. I've done it recently, so I'm empathetic
(25:14):
that it sucks, but I don't believe that it's the
government's job to cover you.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I don't know if I've ever told you the story before,
but when I was working in radio, and it wasn't
my first job, it was my second, third, third job. Yeah,
because I decided I would have lived in an apartment
by myself.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Oh, I didn't want a roommate moving on us.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
So now this is gonna cost money, sure, but I
would find myself three four days a week minimum or
on average. Probably I would buy this oscar Meyer product
that I haven't seen in the store shelves forever.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Okay, but it was.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Like a let's say it's a piece of turkey. So
it's a it's like a dinner slice piece of turkey.
It comes in a package and it's got gravy with it.
Oh okay, And I think you could buy that at
the time. I think you could buy that, like for
like a buck twenty nine maybe.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Maybe a little more sounds good.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
And I would get a boil in the bag rice
and I would boil the rice, and you would also
boil this package.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
That's the way you heated it. Gosh, this is a flashback,
coming back clear as day.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And you'd cut the package and I would pour the
gravy with the turkey over the rice and eat it
in like a bowl. And that was That was lunch.
It could be dinner. I mean I had to eat.
I had to figure out a way to eat for
like two dollars a meal because I made the decision
I wanted to live in the work by myself. But
you can figure it out if you're committed like I
(26:42):
am and always have been. When Barack Obama introduced I mean,
I know we talked about this, the Cash for Clunkers program.
Kiss my ass, I'll get a horse and have to
take care of it and saddle it every day and
ride at the work before ever take a dime of
federal money from Baracco Hussein Obama, for God's sake. But
you don't find many people that have that mindset.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
No, And did you see the video of the mom
basically yelling at the son who got a job. Yes,
I mean, and that's that it's impossible for you and
I and most people of our generation, most people of
our backgrounds where we had moms and dads who worked.
(27:25):
In my instance, both my mother and father, my stepfather.
I'd never met my real father, but my stepfather, they
both worked pretty long days in order to provide even
then a lower middle class income. But in this instance,
that mother, she was raised by a family or a
mother who lived exclusively off the government aid. That's all
(27:50):
she's ever known. She has never worked a job a
day of her life. And she has a teenage son
who was so proud of himself that he had gotten
a job. And when he came home to announce that
news with a sense of pride, the mom freaked out
and said, you've got to quit that job or they're
going to kick me off. That's right, I can't get
(28:13):
a job. I'm forty, I've never worked. I'm unemployable. I
don't even want to be employable. And you're going to
ruin this if you continue with this job. So he
was forced to quit his job to help his mother.
That's the way he could help the family. Yes, by
not working. And that mindset is so opposite of how
(28:33):
human beings actually grow and accomplish things. But that's what
the government has done to a lot of people. I'm
hopeful that Donald Trump will encourage the Republicans in Congress
to use the nuclear option and use it soon.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I will say this, I was pleasantly surprised, shocked. Yeah,
I guess it was to find out that of the
one hundred million dollars that we would raise TikTok governor
make some phone calls, ninety nine percent, according to the
press the governor yesterday at the press conference, ninety nine
percent of that money is going to go straight to
(29:12):
the food banks and pantries to help South Carolinians. You
mean to tell me we have a fund, the one
South Carolina Fund, that obviously has governmental structure that we're
operating at a one percent administrative fee.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I would assume that it's a zero percent fee coming
from us. It would be the one percent would be
going from the food banks like Harvest Hope food bank
that has to pay for gas and all that, because
they're the ones who are going to take the money.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It's going to be the articles it does say it
says exactly where the other one percent was going to go.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
But Harvest Hope and all those food banks, they're the
ones who are going to have to use their vehicles
to go to the stores and buy the food because
all the one sees do is just direct to positive
into their accounts.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
The government isn't operating any kind of fiduciary responsibility for
only one percent. I thought I had a point of
pride South Carolina. Turns out a don't no.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
And I think that also when you're talking about raising money,
you pointed out earlier with six point one million was
the most that we've ever raised for anything, and the
vast majority, I think they said seventy four percent of
that money came from corporate donors. On the six point
one million, you should expect no money from corporate donors
because what would happen typically is Walmart in South Carolina
(30:28):
say they would say, wow, okay, we got hit pretty
bad here in Walmart, and the whole state has been hit.
The Arkansas Home Office would say send three hundred thousand
dollars to South Carolina. But in this instance, it's the
whole country that's right, And so they're not going to
have corporate offices sending anything. And the local management what
(30:52):
are they going to do. They're going to just say
we're taking They can't make that executive decision to take
money out of the coffers and put it into a
government fund or anything like that. So this is really
just going to be anybody who wants to donate, which
is again why I would I don't like the fact
that we've got ten percent of South Carolina on government assistance.
This is disgusting and that should show you that there's
(31:13):
a massive problem with what's going on not only in
South Carolina but the country but in the interim. Because
this is something that needs an entire culture shift. We
need to work on that, and that's like a five, ten,
fifteen year type of problem that needs to be addressed quickly.
But you can't expect people who have never fed themselves
(31:34):
to suddenly start feeding themselves this weekend, and what's going
to happen. I'm I'm rather confident of it within not
maybe not this weekend, but within a week. I would
imagine you'll see legit riots like people storming stores, demand
and violence will happen, and people will get hurt, innocent people,
(31:56):
people who are trying to steal the food, people trying
to stop them from stealing the food. All of this
chaos can be avoided if the Republicans would just invoke
the nuclear option, which again to say that they don't
want to do it, you just did it. You literally
just did it, like two weeks ago, in order to
approve all of those confirmations from the executive branch.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I was reminded of a conversation I had off the
record with a person who may or may not have
been part of the General Assembly at the time. I
mean more disclaimers kind of put on this conversation so
that I'm never called in the question to divulge who
said this. But I was asking why do we allow
these check cashing places to operate? These are legally allowed
(32:41):
interest rate sharks out there charging people an unbelievable amount
of money with fees and interest rates. Yeah, And the
answer was if we shut those places down, people with
low income will have no place to go to get money,
and if they don't have that, the crime rate's going
to go through the roof. I thought about the conversation
(33:01):
again yesterday as I was thinking, TikTok, the first of
November's coming, somebody's having this conversation somewhere. You're gonna have
to find a way to make sure just to keep
a lid on it, because.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You've already got people out there.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I heard one yesterday where a woman's already given you Saturday,
this Saturday between six thirty and seven thirty. It's when
her initiative claims that everybody needs to rush to Walmart
and steal whatever you need because they can't arrest all
of us, and we'll get in and out in an hour. Now,
I haven't heard anybody else. So social media give an
exact day with an exact time, and that's when it's
(33:38):
gonna happen. But there's a lot of those social media
videos out there with people saying we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Eat, yeah, and look, you're gonna eat, right. That's when
people are hungry, they eat, and so they're gonna get
theirs now how they get it. They're either going to
legally rip off the taxpayer, which they've been doing now
for well for fifty years or so, since the War
on Poverty began in the sixties. They've been ripping off
(34:06):
the US taxpayers. Or they're going to just rob the stores.
And if they start robbing the stores, if the stores
attempt to stop them, that person, whoever that person was,
makes a point. If we've got a hundred of us
robbing the store at the same time, they might catch
ten of us, but the other ninety are going to
get away, and there's gonna be chaos. There's going to
(34:27):
be like when you see these videos where they do
those things in like gas stations where thirty kids show up.
They're all wearing masks or hoods and they just run in.
They knock everything over, they're grabbing whatever they can, they
run out, the poor store clerk can't do anything, and
or if the store clerk attempts to stop anybody, they
get pummeled. I would hate to see that. I would
(34:51):
hate to see all that. I'd hate to go to
my QT gas station, which I love, the QTY and
see fifty kids destroying it, or fifty anybody, he's just
destroying it because once you get hungry, you might have
you know, forty year olds in there grabbing donuts and
anything else they can grab.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
You gotta keep your head on the swibbl when this
thing starts to hit, because we're already they're already I'm
not making this up. They're already telling you. They're already
telling you online on social media posts what they.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Plan to do.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Will they do it?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I got a feeling whenever somebody tells you who they are,
you are to listen to them
