This is The Most Impressive Democrat in Years · The Matt Walsh Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Over the years, some might say I have been slightly
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: critical of Democrat politicians. At times, I've even been arguably
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a tiny bit rude. When describing Democrat politicians, I've used
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: mildly uncharitable language. Certain words have been thrown around, words
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: like demons, Satanists, perverts, degenerates, bastards, morons, half-wits.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Imbeciles, freaks. And that was just over breakfast this morning.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Now, of course, all of those words were accurate, and
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: if anything, they were overly generous, but I'll admit that
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: they do qualify as criticisms, and I can tend to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: criticize these people on a relatively frequent basis. Today, though,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take things in a different direction. For
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the first time in the history of my show or
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: my life, I'm going to speak positively about a Democrat.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: In fact, I'm going to highlight a Democrat candidate for
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: office that I support. Now, I don't support most of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: her views. We no doubt disagree substantially on the issues,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: but she is without question the most eloquent, compelling, persuasive, intelligent,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and virtuous Democrat candidate to run for office since at
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: least like the 1840s. I'm not going to vote for
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: her because I don't live in her district or her state,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and also because voting for a Democrat is spiritually equivalent
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to selling your soul to Satan. But from afar, I
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: will offer my admiration and moral support. So Her name
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: is Jamie West. She's running for county council in Fayette County, Indiana.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: She recently appeared on a candidates forum hosted by a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: local news station, and the clips of her interview have
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: gone very viral. Many people have noted that she is,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: for a Democrat, shockingly cogent, fluent, well-spoken. By Democrat standards,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: this woman is one of the great political figures of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: our time. The Democrat Party should immediately make her the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: presidential nominee for 2028. They certainly don't have anyone better
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: waiting in the wings. So here then is Jamie, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we'll go through this piece by piece, but here she
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is delivering her opening remarks.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Listen. With that, I want to go to you, Jamie.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: How are you today? I'm good. How are you?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Would you like to share with us a little bit
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: about yourself and read your opening statement?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, I didn't write one, so I'm just going to
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: not read it, just say it out loud from my heart.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: My name is Jimmy West. I'm a mother of three.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: They're all grown children. They're all pretty successful. I'm proud
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: of them. I own a cleaning business called Queen Bee's
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Cleaning LLC because I am an environmentalist. That's why I
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: named it that. And I am a gig worker. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: deliver a lot of groceries and packages for my community.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: So if you trust me, you know, delivering your groceries,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: you should trust me with your vote. You know, you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, come on.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Now, there are a few things that come to mind
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: right out of the gate as it relates to Miss
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Jamie West. The first is that obviously she drank like
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: two and a half liters of Chardonnay before this appearance.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The second is that along with being apparently a raging alcoholic,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: she also delivers groceries. The third is if you've ever
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: ordered groceries for delivery, this makes a lot of sense.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Anyone who's ever used Instacart knows what it's like to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: order paper towels, a box of spaghetti, a gallon of milk,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and then have somebody pull up in your driveway nine
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: hours later with toilet paper, a jar of mustard, and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a bottle of soda in a flavor you didn't know existed.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Instacart allows for substitution so that if an item you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: order isn't on the shelf, the driver can substitute a
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: similar item for it. The problem is that the Instacart
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: drivers interpret similar item as any item that also exists
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in a three-dimensional plane. They look at similarity in a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: more metaphysical sense. And I thought they were just being
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: philosophically rigorous in their thinking, but it turns out that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: these people, to include Uber Eats drivers, are actually sauced
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: out of their minds.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Who would have known? So that solves the mystery.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And already, Jamie has enlightened us more than any Democrat
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: ever has. And she's just getting started.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I'm here because I have been going to the statehouse
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: for years fighting this legislation that goes through Senate Bill 1.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Dale Strong mentioned that and how much it hurts our communities.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: It doubled... so many people's property taxes, only about 1%
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: or 2% of all of Hoosiers benefited from it. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: it harmed our communities, our rural communities especially, our schools.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I love the schools. I'm a total supporter of the
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: schools and the teachers. But our emergency services are the
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: ones that we really need to worry about.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Now, before you.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Laugh so insensitively at this woman who is absolutely sloshed.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I want you to stop it.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, really think about the courage and determination
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: on display here. This woman woke up that morning, had
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: some coffee, had three Xanax, had a couple of shots
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of vodka, had a couple more, then two more after that,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: which in fairness was a pretty standard American breakfast in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the 1950s. And despite being utterly hammered, bombed into oblivion,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: she still had the wherewithal and persistence to get in
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: her car and show up for this televised interview. And
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that is not an easy thing to do.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Okay? If you were drunk, you would not have even
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: come to the interview.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: You'd be too cowardly. She said, I'm still doing it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And what's more, she's trying to use really difficult sentences
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: for a drunk person. Before you pass judgment on her,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: why don't you try guzzling nine margaritas and then looking
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: into a camera and saying a phrase like emergency services?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, this woman tried to say rural communities.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Drunk.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I botch that on the show all the time, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not even drunk when I film the podcast usually.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So have some respect for this woman and frankly, frankly,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: for the whole drunkard community, which which she is so
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: bravely and I would say nobly representing. Over the years,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I've scrolled past dozens of articles claiming chocolate is somehow
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: good for you. Hard to believe given the amount of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: sugar that's in it, but you can bet I reference
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it whenever I want to gorge myself on junk food.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Black Forest makes a high-flavanol supplement, which is a compound
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: found in cocoa. Black Forest says cocoa flavanols support nitric
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: oxide production and healthy blood flow. Most of us never
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: think about our bone marrow, which is how you know
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it's doing its job. Flavanols can stimulate stem cells in
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the bone marrow to make that job even easier. In
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a large trial called COSMOS that tested a cocoa extract
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in more than 21,000 people, researchers reported fewer cardiovascular deaths
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in a secondary analysis. Baby chocolate has something to offer
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: after all, but Black Forest is offering the best elements
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: of it on sale. Black Forest says this is its
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: biggest sale of the year and it just went live.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Buy one, get one free store-wide. That includes their best-selling
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: high-flavanol cocoa, plus a free bottle of NMN with every order.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: You've got 48 hours, then it's gone. Cocoa prices have
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: jumped this year, and Black Forest says it wants this
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: out the door before they reset. Links in the description
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and the pinned comment.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Go get it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: And I spoke to the Connersville chief of police, or
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, fireman, the fire chief today, Scott Jones. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: he is also very worried about what will happen to
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: the fire stations. I might need to get a Kleenex out, man.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: It makes me sad what the Republicans in the State
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: House have done to our rural communities.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, Scott Jones, the fire chief, is very worried. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I can see why he'd be worried. You know, there
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: was a drunk woman wandering around the station at 10 a.m.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: It's a very troubling thing. And, you know, also Republicans
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and stuff. But I don't want to interrupt Jamie too
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: much because what she's saying is so important.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: So let's go right back to it.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: And he told me that if we don't do something different,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: which means, to me, it means voting for Democrats again.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: that we will lose one of our firehouses. He doesn't
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: know which one yet. By 2029, we're going to lose it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Are you okay with that? I'm not. And Kay Payton,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: who was just here, she, I was at a town
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: hall meeting with her and Lieutenant Governor Beckward, and she
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: groveled to him for emergency service money. And he Looked
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: at her and he's like, oh, I'll look into it.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: And then two minutes later said, we don't have enough
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: money for your emergency services, but we have enough money
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: to do the redistricting, which we fought and won. And,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: you know, so I've been fighting at the stay house
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: for years for our community. On my own dime, our
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: local representatives have not. You know, parking is expensive. Driving
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: is expensive.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I just want to pause here to clarify that she
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is still answering the question, tell us about yourself. There
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: have been no additional questions to this point in the discussion.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: She was given one simple prompt and it launched her
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: into a twisty, rambling, discursive, tangential, only vaguely intelligible monologue
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that had little, if anything, to do with the question.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: That was asked.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So this reminds me of every conversation I've ever had
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: with my three-year-old. And you might think that you don't
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: want your public officials to resemble three-year-olds, but first of all,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: way too.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Late for that.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And second, scripture says that we should be like children.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: So in a certain sense, which is a totally theologically
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: incorrect sense for the record, this woman is an inspiration.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Now let's skip forward a little bit.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Not that I want to miss any of this woman's insights,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: but there's only so much you can absorb at one time.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: It's very dense. So let's skip ahead to this.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: What do you feel Fayette County needs to do differently
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: to attract new businesses? And where should the county council
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: invest its limited resources to make that happen?
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Definitely not data centers. They're horrible for the environment. They
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: will take, they want it because we got data. Fayette
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: County is on an aquifer, which means that we have
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: a lake beneath us, miles beneath us, where we have
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: so much water. And the data centers want that water, man.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: So they can push it into their cooling centers and
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: cool it off and then dump it back into the
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: rivers and the lakes that we all cherish and You know,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: who wants to go swimming or go fishing or go
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: enjoy the environment when you have all these pollutants and
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: chemicals and whatnot in there? I mean, you're going to
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: have poison fish. You're going to have wildlife that just escapes.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, the hunters, the fishermen, you should all not
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: be happy with this at all. The data centers, got
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: to go. Absolutely not.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: So I'll pause here again to point something out that,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you know, if you have ever said that you want
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to vote for someone who is just a regular person,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: you know, an average Joe or Jane, I just want
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a regular person in office.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Well, here you go.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Allow me to introduce you to a regular person. I
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: hate to sound elitist, but this is what voting for
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a regular person means. Which is why I've always said
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that I want to vote for people who are not regular.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Like I want them to be well above average, above
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: regular in terms of intelligence, virtue, coherence, and so on.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: If you want a truly regular person, then.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: This is what you get.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: This woman is exactly the kind of person you would
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: expect to encounter at the DMV or Walmart, which is
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to say that she is regular. And that rant you
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: just heard about data centers is exactly, in every detail,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: it is exactly the rant that 10 million drunk aunts
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: will be delivering around the Thanksgiving table next month. Okay,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: take the average person, give them three to five servings
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: of alcohol, ask them about current events, and this is
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: precisely what you will get, for better or worse.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Well, you're leading me into our next question, which was actually,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: would you support a data center in Fayette County?
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Absolutely not.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: What would you require from a developer before you could
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: support the project?
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: If an AI dentist center wanted to build here, then
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: they would have to pay for all of our firemen.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Not the volunteer. Thank you, volunteer firemen. You don't even
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: get paid. Thank you, Everton. They would have to pay
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: for all of their salaries, all of their equipment. They'd
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: have to give scholarships to every kid that graduates from...
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Connorsville High School, they'd have to pay for all of
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: our new sewer system and our water lines. They'd have
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: to pay for all of our new infrastructure. They'd have
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: to make sure that they did it the cleanest way
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: possible by using solar power. I mean, that is the
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: only way that I would let them in. They'd have
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: to pay every resident here at least $ 10, 000 a year.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: We could make it happen. They have the money. They're
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: the richest companies in the world, and we are letting them.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: just stomp all over us. They act like we're stupid,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: but we're not all stupid. And that's what I have
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: to say about that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I have to say, when the moderator opened with, you're
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: leading me into my next question, I thought the next
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: question would go, would be like something like, precisely how
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: many rum and cokes did you have on your way
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: to the studio this afternoon?
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Well, the moderator never asked that.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: The moderator is very, very professional performance by the moderator
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to never bring up the fact that this woman is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: completely wasted. Instead, she asks about data centers. And actually,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: credit where it's due, I unironically agree with what the
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: drunk left-wing wine aunt just said in that last clip anyway.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: That part is actually true. I mean, if a trillion-dollar
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: tech company wants to build a data center in a community,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: they should be required to invest heavily in that community.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: In fact, they should do it without being required. Wealthy
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: tycoons used to do that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: They used to build schools and parks and libraries and
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: hospitals and museums and inject money and resources into public
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: institutions and the community at large. And modern tycoons, especially
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: these big tech freaks, with the exception of Elon Musk,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: who's out there building spaceships and stuff, but the rest
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of them, they generally don't do anything like that. They
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: don't do anything like that. It may be only leftists
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: who point this out, but that doesn't make it a
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: left-wing point and it doesn't make it wrong. even when
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the leftist who says it doesn't know where she is
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: or what planet she's on.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: So she's right. She got that one right.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Even a blackout drunk clock is right twice a day,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: as the saying goes. Now we get to the grand finale.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Let's watch.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: If elected, what is one decision that you expect to
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: make that may be unpopular with some voters, but you
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: believe ultimately would be in the best interest of Fayette County?
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't raise your taxes. Um, what is the one
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: decision that I would make?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Repeat that again. What is the one decision that I
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: would make that might not be popular? Right.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: That may be unpopular with some voters.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: But is in the best interest of the county.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Firing all Republicans. I wouldn't let them. I mean, I
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: don't even talk to him. I don't like him. I mean,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: they voted against our own state representative voted against her
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: own party. I mean, what do you want me to say?
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: I don't like being around them. I mean, y'all did
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: this to us. You all voted for us. You made
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: this happen, this ICE coming into our communities, stealing people's jobs.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: I mean... I've been threatened so many times to my
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: face by MAGA, we'll call them, because there's Republicans who
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: actually get it, you know?
