00:00:26.640And that was just over breakfast this morning.1.00
00:00:28.700Now, of course, all of those words were accurate, and if anything, they were overly generous, but I'll admit that they do qualify as criticisms, and I can tend to criticize these people on a relatively frequent basis.
00:00:40.720Today, though, I'm going to take things in a different direction. For the first time in the history of my show or my life, I'm going to speak positively about a Democrat.
00:00:49.780In fact, I'm going to highlight a Democrat candidate for office that I support.
00:00:55.020Now, I don't support most of her views.
00:00:57.500We no doubt disagree substantially on the issues, but she is without question the most eloquent, compelling, persuasive, intelligent, and virtuous Democrat candidate to run for office since at least like the 1840s.
00:01:12.280I'm not going to vote for her because I don't live in her district or her state and also because voting for a Democrat is spiritually equivalent to selling your soul to Satan.
00:01:19.780But from afar, I will offer my admiration and moral support.
00:05:13.240I mean, really, really think about the courage and determination on display here.
00:05:17.560This woman woke up that morning, had some coffee, had three Xanax, had a couple of shots of vodka, had a couple more, then two more after that, which in fairness was a pretty standard American breakfast in the 1950s.
00:05:33.340And despite being utterly hammered, bombed into oblivion, she still had the wherewithal and persistence to get in her car and show up for this televised interview.
00:05:56.640And what's more, she's trying to use really difficult sentences for a drunk person.0.54
00:06:02.060Before you pass judgment on her, why don't you try guzzling nine margaritas and then looking into a camera and saying a phrase like, emergency services.1.00
00:06:12.580I mean, this woman tried to say rural communities.1.00
00:06:16.140drunk? I botch that on the show all the time, and I'm not even drunk when I film the podcast,0.97
00:06:21.840usually. So have some respect for this woman, and frankly, for the whole drunkard community,0.94
00:06:26.840which she is so bravely, and I would say nobly, representing.
00:06:32.900Over the years, I've scrolled past dozens of articles claiming chocolate is somehow good
00:06:37.860for you. Hard to believe, given the amount of sugar that's in it, but you can bet I reference
00:06:41.940it whenever I want to gorge myself on junk food. Black Forest makes a high flavanol supplement,
00:06:47.860which is a compound found in cocoa. Black Forest says cocoa flavanols support nitric oxide
00:06:53.440production and healthy blood flow. Most of us never think about our bone marrow, which is how
00:06:58.760you know it's doing its job. Flavanols can stimulate stem cells in the bone marrow to make
00:07:03.720that job even easier. In a large trial called Cosmos that tested a cocoa extract in more than
00:07:10.10021,000 people. Researchers reported fewer cardiovascular deaths in a secondary analysis.
00:07:15.680Maybe chocolate has something to offer after all, but Black Forest is offering the best elements
00:07:21.020of it on sale. Black Forest says this is its biggest sale of the year, and it just went live.
00:07:26.380Buy one, get one free, store-wide. That includes their best-selling high-flavanol cocoa,
00:07:31.860plus a free bottle of NMN with every order. You've got 48 hours, then it's gone. Cocoa prices have
00:07:38.180jump this year and black forest says it wants this out the door before they reset links in
00:07:43.960description and the pinned comment go get it and i spoke to the connersville chief of police or
00:07:51.180i'm sorry fireman the fire chief today scott jones and he is also very worried about what will happen
00:08:01.060into the fire stations, I might need to get a Kleenex out, man.
00:08:06.140It makes me sad what the Republicans in the statehouse have done to our rural communities.
00:08:16.120Yes, Scott Jones, the fire chief, is very worried.
00:08:40.940And he told me that if we don't do something different, which means to me, it means voting for Democrats, that we will lose one of our firehouses.
00:08:57.720He doesn't know which one yet. By 2029, we're going to lose it.
00:09:09.400she was at a town hall meeting with her,0.86
00:09:13.840a lieutenant governor backward, and she0.83
00:09:16.340groveled to him for emergency service money.
00:09:22.340And he looked at her and he's like, oh, I'll look into it.
00:09:25.860And then two minutes later said, we don't have enough money for your emergency services,
00:09:31.620but we have enough money to do the redistricting, which we fought and won.
00:09:36.960And, you know, so I've been fighting at the state house for years for our community.
00:09:45.120On my own dime, our local representatives have not.
00:09:49.260You know, parking is expensive. Driving is expensive.
00:09:55.860I just want to pause here to clarify that she is still answering the question, tell us about yourself.
00:10:02.440There have been no additional questions to this point in the discussion.
00:10:05.680She was given one simple prompt and it launched her into a twisty, rambling, discursive, tangential, only vaguely intelligible monologue that had little, if anything, to do with the question that was asked.
00:10:18.120This reminds me of every conversation I've ever had with my three-year-old.
00:10:22.820And you might think that you don't want your public officials to resemble three-year-olds,
00:10:26.160but first of all, way too late for that.
00:10:29.120And second, scripture says that we should be like children.
00:10:32.100So in a certain sense, which is a totally theologically incorrect sense for the record,
00:10:48.340What do you feel Fayette County needs to do differently to attract new
00:10:53.140businesses and where should the County Council invest its limited resources to
00:10:57.140make that happen? Definitely not data centers. They're
00:11:01.740horrible for the environment. They will take, they want it because we got, Fayette
00:11:10.700County is on an aquifer, which means that we have a lake beneath us, miles beneath us where we have
00:11:20.220so much water. And the data centers want that water, man, so they can push it into their
00:11:28.940cooling centers and cool it off and then dump it back into the rivers and the lakes that we all
00:11:37.720cherish and you know who wants to go swimming or go fishing or go enjoy the environment when you
00:11:46.900have all these pollutants and chemicals and whatnot in there I mean you're gonna have
00:11:54.100poison fish you're gonna have wildlife that just escapes I mean the hunters the fishermen you
00:12:01.240should all not be happy with this at all. The data center's got to go. Absolutely not.
00:12:09.720So I just want to pause here again to point something out that, you know, if you have ever
00:12:13.640said that you want to vote for someone who is just a regular person, you know, an average Joe
00:12:20.260or Jane, I just want a regular person in office. Well, here you go. Allow me to introduce you to
00:12:27.180a regular person. I hate to sound elitist, but this is what voting for a regular person means,
00:12:33.880which is why I've always said that I want to vote for people who are not regular. Like I want them
00:12:38.400to be well above average, above regular in terms of intelligence, virtue, coherence, and so on.
00:12:44.440If you want a truly regular person, then this is what you get. This woman is exactly the kind0.93
00:12:51.680of person you would expect to encounter at the DMV or Walmart, which is to say that she is regular.
00:12:57.180And that rant you just heard about data centers is exactly, in every detail, it is exactly the rant that 10 million drunk aunts will be delivering around the Thanksgiving table next month.
00:13:09.700Okay, take the average person, give them three to five servings of alcohol, ask them about current events, and this is precisely what you will get, for better or worse.
00:13:20.940Well, you're leading me into our next question, which was actually, would you support a data center in Fayette County?
00:17:05.780I mean, y'all did this to us. You all voted for us. You made this happen, this ice coming into our communities, stealing people's jobs. I mean, I've been threatened so many times to my face by MAGA, we'll call them, because there's Republicans who actually get it.
00:17:34.880You know, there are good Republicans out there.0.95
00:17:38.120But then there's these MAGAs who are just racist and aren't very intelligent at all.0.95
00:17:47.900My sheriff's nephew threatened to blow my head off.
00:17:53.820But, you know, what are you going to do?
00:17:56.060Well, that brings us to your opportunity to say just a few last words to the voters.
00:18:03.200hmm we have guns too all right well as a reminder the general election is november 3rd
00:18:13.760well you know there's so much in those closing remarks uh so much insight discernment
00:18:20.660understanding the whole interview was incredibly profound as we just heard but in these final two
00:18:26.260minutes she so deftly and skillfully weaves together the various intellectual threads of
00:18:31.460her argument, I found it not only persuasive, but frankly unnerving in its power and elocution.
00:18:37.900There are many compelling arguments she just presented there, but I thought the most convincing
00:18:42.140was when she said, and I'm quoting, the sheriff's nephew threatened to blow my head off, but you
00:18:48.500know, what are you going to do? Fascinating. Brilliant. I mean, think about what she's saying
00:18:54.280here. Okay. I don't want to make, I'm not trying to intellectualize it, but think about what she's
00:19:01.460What does that mean? It seems to establish the kind of hereditary nature of power. We are not merely governed by those we elect, but by the networks that those in power establish, the oligarchy, the instruments of coercion that lie outside of the elected office. I think that's kind of what she's saying.
00:19:15.880Then she says, threatened to blow my head off.
