Platner Please Stop! - Ep 26-222

Democrats constantly tell us they are the guardians of morality. The protectors of women. The defenders against racism. The watchdogs against anti-Semitism. The sentinels of decency. Fine. Then here comes a man accused of being racist, anti-Semitic, womanizing, predatory, and every other thing Democrats tell us should permanently disqualify someone from public life. This should have been easy. This should have taken three seconds. Question: "Do you condemn him?" Answer: "Yes." Done. Interview over. Go get coffee. But that's not what happened. Instead we got Olympic-level gymnastics. All they needed to do is denounce a racist, anti-Semite, womanizing, pedophile Nazi. AND THEY COULDN’T DO IT. [X] SB – Elizabeth Warren pressed on Graham Platner “Maine can evaluate Platner not for who he was, but for who he is today.” See if you recognize the common theme here… [X] SB – Schiff dodges Platner question (46s) “Ultimately it will be up to the citizens of Maine to decide how important those issues are” [X] SB – CO gubernatorial candidate asked about Platner He spoke with Kaitlan Collins on meeting the standard, and was asked about Platner. He refused to comment, and pivoted saying, “I’m busy running for the governor of CO”. Standard of public behavior. These are the same people who can identify a microaggression from orbit. The same people who can detect an offensive tweet from 2009 buried beneath seventeen deleted accounts and three hard drives. Yet somehow they can't form an opinion on this. It's remarkable. And this matters, because Platner isn't just a person. He's a test. A stress test.

Fed Up - Ep 26-221

Welcome back to The Kevin Jackson Show, where every day I wake up wondering if the Democrats can possibly generate more insanity than they did the day before, and every day they answer me with the enthusiasm of a game-show contestant who just discovered the show has UNLIMITED BONUS ROUNDS. I don't know whether to be impressed or concerned. You have to give these people credit. If chaos were an Olympic sport, the Left would have enough gold medals to sink a cargo ship. Just when you think we've reached peak absurdity, another scandal pops up. Another fraud scheme gets exposed. Another government program turns out to be less about helping Americans and more about helping somebody's cousin buy a third vacation home. We're learning more every day about waste, fraud, and abuse that somehow managed to hide in plain sight for years. Obamacare. USAID. Immigration programs. NGO funding streams. Federal grants. State grants. Local grants. Grants for grants. [X] SB – Dr Oz on Obamacare fraud 9M on Obamacare Now 20M. Took the guardrails off. 35% Is anybody keeping up with the numbers? I’m beginning to think the government could run on 25% of the tax revenue it collects. What government program DOESN’T have massive fraud? At some point government became that relative who keeps borrowing money because he's "between jobs," except he's been between jobs since the Reagan administration and somehow owns a boat. And notice the pattern. The scandal isn't even the scandal anymore. The cover-up becomes the scandal. Then the cover-up of the cover-up becomes the scandal. Then the media arrives to explain why you shouldn't be looking at any of it. It's almost beautiful in its predictability. Imagine robbing a bank and then holding a press conference demanding fact-checkers investigate the bank for noticing. That's modern politics.

Trust Broken - Ep 24-220

Before we get into the other races and some of the numbers from the election, let’s look at Fraud As for the broader political landscape, to paraphrase Scripture, there will be fraud and rumors of fraud. Every election cycle now follows the same pattern. Somebody raises concerns. Somebody else says those concerns are ridiculous. Then months later everyone discovers the concerns were at least worth discussing. The real issue isn't whether fraud exists. Of course it exists. The real issue is why we're so uncomfortable having honest conversations about preventing it. Banks don't apologize for security cameras. Casinos don't apologize for surveillance. Airports don't apologize for identity verification. Yet suggest election safeguards and suddenly people act as though you've proposed installing medieval drawbridges around polling places. Our trust has been broken so often, we trust very little. Trust isn't created by demanding trust. Trust is created through verification. That's true in business. It's true in relationships. And it's true in elections. Bombshell lawsuit exposes 873,000 'ghost' voters in California https://trib.al/esgpNbf [https://t.co/VLLu1WrCr4] [X] SB – CBS report… Paul Randall. We played this yesterday, but I wanted people to hear it again. He was a criminal, and Democrats DIDN’T CARE 6 prior convictions. On bond.

Election Results - Ep 26-219

Last night, America did what America always does after an election. We immediately stopped talking about the voters and started listening to the people who were wrong about the voters. Here's what I want to know from you. Did last night actually change anyone's mind? Did Democrats earn enthusiasm, or merely avoid embarrassment? Did Republicans demonstrate strength, or simply benefit from voter frustration? Is Trump still the central figure in American politics because of his supporters, his opponents, or both? And perhaps the biggest question of all: If voters across the country continue signaling dissatisfaction, who is actually listening? It's one of the great traditions of modern politics. Election night ends, the polls close, and suddenly a parade of experts appears on television carrying charts, demographic breakdowns, regression analyses, and enough certainty to make a weather forecaster blush. Everybody wants validation. The Left wants proof that Trump is finished. The Right wants proof that Democrats are morons who only know how to vote against something, even if that something is worth having. Consultants just want proof that their invoices should continue to be paid. And the media? They just want proof that somebody is still watching.

Slush Funds - Ep 26-218

What a time we live in. We are watching Leftists spiral out of control. If you’re hearing my voice, then you haven’t died from the Hanta virus or Ebola. I’m curious, are any of you experiencing measles or the whooping cough. There are warnings out there, so be careful. Democrats tried hard with all these pathogens they introduced, again. But we’re not nearly as afraid as we once were. Interestingly, when I travel, I still see LOTS of people with masks. Understand that the veil has been pulled back on the covid and vaccine lies, but a part of the population remains afraid. Their lies are being revealed in real time and I believe it’s God’s big reveal, and not just fate. We just can’t get this lucky. In a completely different subject, why do they call Trump wanting to compensate victims of the Fed, a “slush fund”. But I want to begin with an interesting clip from Bernie Sanders that will offer insight into part of our discussion today. Back in 2019 when Bernie was but a youthful 77 years old, he had this to day about DEI: [X] SB – Bernie Sanders in 2019 re DEI Bernie worked in ageism, nicely… Well, we are now in the midst of PRIDE month. A creation of the LGBTQ community who has been in the news since FOREVER. And it’s not good news. I can't imagine how most gay people feel about Pride Month these days, but I suspect it's a lot like how I feel about Black History Month. What began as recognition somehow became branding. What started as awareness turned into a marketing department's seasonal color palette. Somewhere along the way, actual people got replaced by mascots. A woman named Cynthia Holt recently posted something that caught my attention. She's a lesbian, and she didn't mince words. https://x.com/Ghostofcynthia/status/2061535850002018562 [https://x.com/Ghostofcynthia/status/2061535850002018562] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].
