This is The Most Impressive Democrat in Years

Over the years, some might say I have been slightly critical of Democrat politicians. At times, I've even been arguably a tiny bit rude. When describing Democrat politicians, I've used mildly unsharedable language. Certain words have been thrown around, words like demons, satanists, perverts, degenerates, bastards, morons, half-wits, imbecils, freaks, and that was just over breakfast this morning. Now, 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 contend to criticize these people on a relatively frequent basis. Today, 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. In fact, I'm going to highlight a Democrat candidate for office that I support. Now, I don't support most of her views. We 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. Now, I'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, but from afar, I will offer my admiration and moral support. So her name is Jamie West. She's running for county council in Fayette County, Indiana. She recently appeared on a candidate's forum hosted by a local news station, and the clips of her interview have gone very viral. Many people have noted that she is, for a Democrat, shockingly cogent, fluent, well-spoken. By Democrat standards, this woman is one of the great political figures of our time. The Democrat party should immediately make her the presidential nominee for 2028. They certainly don't have anyone better waiting in the wings. So here then is Jamie, and we'll go through this piece by piece. But here she is delivering her opening remarks. Listen. With that, I want to go to you, Jamie. How are you today? I'm good. How are you? Good. Would you like to share with us a little bit about yourself and read your opening statement? Okay, I didn't write one, so I'm just going to not read it, just say it out loud for my heart. Okay, my name is Jamie West. I'm a mother of three. They're all grown, children, they're all pretty successful and proud of them. I own a cleaning business called Queen Bee's Cleaning LLC because I am an environmentalist. I do. That's why I named it that. I am a gig worker. I deliver a lot of groceries and packages for my community. So if you trust me, you know, delivering your groceries, you trust me with your vote. You know, you know, I mean, come on. But, um. Now, there are a few things that come to mind right out of the gate as it relates to Miss Jamie West. The first is that, obviously, she drank like two and a half liters of Chardonnay before this appearance. The second is that, along with being apparently a raging alcoholic, she also delivers groceries. The third is, if you've ever ordered groceries for delivery, this makes a lot of sense. Anyone who's ever used Instacart knows what it's like to order like paper towels, a box of spaghetti, a gallon of milk, and then have somebody pull up in your driveway nine hours later with toilet paper, a jar of mustard and a bottle of soda and a flavor you didn't know existed. Instacart allows for substitution so that, you know, if an item you order isn't on the shelf, the driver can substitute a similar item for it. The problem is that the Instacart drivers interpret similar item as any item that also exists in a three dimensional plane. They look at it's similarity in a more metaphysical sense. And I thought they were just being like philosophically rigorous in their thinking, but it turns out that these people, to include Uber eats drivers, are actually sauceed out of their minds. Who would have known? So that solves the mystery, and already Jamie hasn't lightened us more than any Democrat ever has. And she's just getting started. I'm here because I have been going to the State House for years, fighting this legislation that goes through. Senate Bill 1, Dale Strong, mentioned that, and how much it hurts our communities. It doubled so many people's property taxes, only about one or two percent of all of your users benefited from it. And it harmed our communities, our rural communities, especially our schools. And our, I love the schools. I'm told the support of the schools and the teachers. But our emergency services are the ones that we really need to worry about. Now, before you laugh so insensitively at this woman, who is absolutely sloshed, I want you to stop it, I mean, really, really think about the courage and determination on display here. This woman woke up that morning, had some coffee, had three Xanax, had a couple shots of vodka, had a couple more, than two more after that, which in fairness was a pretty standard American breakfast in the 1950s. And despite being utterly hammered, bombed into oblivion, she still had the wear with all and persistence to get in her car and show up for this televised interview. And that is not an easy thing to do, okay? If you were drunk, you would not even come to the interview, right? You'd be too cowardly. She said, "I'm still doing it." And what's more, she's trying to use really difficult sentences for a drunk person. Before 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." I mean, this woman tried to say, "Rural communities? I mean, I botched that on the show all the time, and I'm not even drunk when I film the podcast usually." So have some respect for this woman. And frankly, frankly, for the whole drunkard community, which she is so bravely, and I would say, "nobally representing." Over the years, I've scrolled past dozens of articles claiming chocolate is somehow good for you, hard to believe, given the amount of sugar that's in it. But, you know, you can bet I reference it whenever I want to gorge myself on junk food. Black Forest makes a high flavanol supplement, which is a compound found in cocoa. Black Forest says cocoa flavanols support nitric oxide production and healthy blood flow. Most of us never think about our bone marrow, which is how you know it's doing its job. The flavanols can stimulate stem cells in the bone marrow to make that job even easier. And a large trial called Cosmos that tested a cocoa extract in more than 21,000 people. Researchers reported fewer cardiovascular deaths and a secondary analysis. Baby chocolate has something to offer after all, but Black Forest is offering the best elements of it on sale. Black Forest says, "This is its biggest sale of the year and it just went live." Buy one, get one free, store-wide. That includes their best-selling high flavanol cocoa. Plus a free bottle of NMN with every order you've got 48 hours. Then it's gone. Cocoa prices have jumped this year. And Black Forest says it wants this out the door before they reset. Links in the description and the pinned comment, go get it. And I spoke to the coroner's little chief of police, or I'm sorry, fireman. The fire chief today, Scott Jones. And he is also very worried about what will happen to the fire stations. And you might need to get a clear clean up out, man. It makes me sad with the Republicans in this stayhouse have done to our rural communities. Yes, Scott Jones, the fire chief is very worried. And I can see why he'd be worried. There was a drunk woman wandering around the station at 10 a.m. It's a very troubling thing. And also Republicans and stuff. But I don't want to interrupt Jamie too much because what she's saying is so important. So let's go right back to it. And 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. He doesn't know which one yet by 2029. We're going to lose it. Are you okay with that? I'm not. And Kay Peyton, who was just here, she, I was at a town hall meeting with her and Lieutenant Governor Beckward. And she groveled to him for emergency service money. And he looked at her and he was like, oh, I'll look into it. And two minutes later, he said, we don't have enough money for your emergency services, but we have enough money to do the redistricting, which we fought in one. And, you know, so I've been fighting at this day house for years, for our community. On my own dime, our local representatives have not. You know, parking is expensive. Driving is expensive. I just want to pause here to clarify that she is still answering the question, and tell us about yourself. There have been no additional questions to this point in the discussion. She was given one simple prompt, and it launched her into a twisty, rambling, discursive, tangential, only vaguely intelligible monologue that had little of anything to do with the question that was asked. So this reminds me of every conversation I've ever had with my three-year-old, and you might think that you don't want your public officials to resemble three-year-olds, but first of all, way too late for that, and second, Scripture says that we should be like children. So in a certain sense, which is a totally theologically incorrect sense for the record, this woman is an inspiration. Now let's skip forward a little bit, not that I want to miss any of this woman's insights, but there's only so much you can absorb at one time. It's very dense, so let's skip ahead to this. What do you feel Fayette County needs to do differently to attract new businesses? And where should the county council invest its limited resources to make that happen? Definitely not data centers. They're horrible for the environment. They will take, they want it because we got Fayette County is on an aquifer, which means that we have a lake beneath this, miles beneath this, but we have so much water. And the data centers want that water, man, so they can push it into their cooling centers and cool it off, and then dump it back into the rivers and the lakes that we all cherish. Who wants to go swim in, or go fishing, or go enjoy the environment when you have all these pollutants and chemicals and whatnot in there? I mean, you're going to have poison fish, you're going to wildlife that just escapes, I mean, the hunters, the fishermen, you should all not be happy with this at all, the data centers got to go. Absolutely not. Just want to pause here again to point something out that if you have ever said that you want to vote for someone who is just a regular person, an average Joe or Jane, I just want a regular person in office. Well here you go, allow me to introduce you to a regular person, I hate to sound elitist, but this is what voting for a regular person means, which is why I've always said that I want to vote for people who are not regular, like I want them to be well above average, above regular in terms of intelligence, virtue, coherence, and so on. If you want a truly regular person, then this is what you get. This woman is exactly the kind of person you would expect to encounter at the DMV or Walmart, which is to say that she is regular. And 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. Okay, 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. Well you're leading me into our next question, which was actually, would you support a data center in Fayette County and what would you require from a developer before you could support the project? If, if, if, if, a, a, identity center wanted to build here, then they would have to pay for all of our farming, not the, the volunteer. Thank you volunteer farming, you don't even get paid, thank you Everton, they would have to pay for all of their salaries, all of their equipment, they'd have to give scholarships to every kid that graduates from Conor's High School, they'd have to pay for all of our new sewer system and our water lines, they'd have to, they'd have to pay for all of our new infrastructure, they'd have to make sure that they did the clean sway possible by using solar power, I mean that is the only way that I would let them in, they'd have to pay every resident here, at least $10,000 a year, we could make it happen, they have the money, they're the richest companies in the world, and we are letting them just stop all over us, they act like we're stupid, well we're not all stupid, and that's what I have to say about that. I have to say, when the moderator opened with you're leading me into my next question, I thought the next question would go would be like something like precisely how many rum and coax did you have on your way to this, to the studio this afternoon, well the moderator never asked that, the moderator is very, very professional performance by the moderator to never bring up the fact that this woman is completely wasted, instead she asks about data centers, and actually credit words do, I unironically agree with what the drunk left-wing wine aunt just said in that last clip anyway, that part is actually true, I mean if a trillion dollar tech company wants to build a data center in the community, they should be required to invest heavily in that community, in fact they should do it without being required, lengthy tycoons used to do that, they used to build schools and parks and libraries and hospitals and museums and inject money and resources into public institutions and the community at large, and modern tycoons, especially these big tech freaks, with the exception of Elon Musk who's out there building spaceships and stuff, but the rest of them, they generally don't do anything like that, they don't do anything like that. It may be only leftists who point this out, but that doesn't make it a left-wing point and it doesn't make it wrong, even when the leftist who says it doesn't know where she is or what planet she's on, so she's right, she got that one right, even a blackout drunk clock is right twice a day as the saying goes, "Now we get to the grand finale, let's watch." If elected, what is one decision that you expect to make that may be unpopular with some voters, but you believe ultimately would be in the best interest of Fayette County? Hmm, I wouldn't raise your taxes. What is the one decision that I would make, repeat that again. What is the one decision that I would make that might not be popular? Right, that may be unpopular with some voters, but is in the best interest of the county. I don't even talk to them, I don't like them, they voted against our stone state representative voted against her own party, I mean, what do you want me to say? I don't like being around them, I mean, you 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 him, because there's Republicans who actually get it, you know, there are good Republicans out there, but they didn't use Maga's, who are just racist and aren't very intelligent at all, they call you names, they say, but you don't share, if you threaten to blow my head off, but, you know, what are you going to do? Well, that brings us to your opportunity to say just a few last words to the voters. Maybe I've guns too. All right, was a reminder the general election is November 3rd? Well, you know, there's so much in those closing remarks, so much insight, discernment, understanding. The whole interview was incredibly profound as we just heard, but in these final two minutes, she's so definitely and skillfully weaves together the various intellectual threads of her argument. I found it not only persuasive, but frankly unnerving and its power and elicution. There are many compelling arguments she just presented there, but I thought the most convincing was when she said, and I'm quoting, "The sheriff's nephew threatened to blow my head off, but you know, what are you going to do?" Fascinating. Brilliant. I mean, think about what she's saying here, okay? I don't want to be, I'm not trying to intellectualize it, but I think about what she's saying. The sheriff's nephew, what 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. And then she says, "Threatened to blow my head off, or what do we take from that?" I would say, I think it introduces kind of the enduring and even ancient problemings of institutional force set against the individual, the collision between personal liberty and the state, which our founders grappled with, and whose intellectual and moral tradition has now been taken up. And there I say, even more eloquent terms by this incredibly drunk woman from Indiana. And then we come to the brilliant pivot where she takes us from a political observation to something almost transcended. She says, "But you know, three simple words that are rubbed onto the scene, suddenly out of nowhere, reminding us of the limits of rational inquiry, the futility of standing before reality itself in demanding answers on our own terms. And finally, she asks, perhaps rhetorically, but perhaps not, what are you going to do? Now, some would take this as a call to action, a cry in the night, a, a, a, a, Paul revere moment. And indeed, perhaps that's exactly how she meant it, but on the other hand, perhaps this is less a question than a display of a kind of existentialist acceptance of the absurd nature of being. And that brings to mind Albert Camus, of course, the 20th century French philosopher who's entire catalog this woman has no doubt read and understood. But she's operating with a far more advanced philosophical understanding, recognizing that indeed, sometimes the sheriff's nephew threatens to blow your head off, your head of all things, the source of rational thought. And the only choice you have is to get on with your life, to get on indeed with your seventh bottle of Pinot noir. Is this resignation? Is it surrender? It's wisdom, I say. It's the moral courage that can be found in fighting a battle you can't win and winning a battle you can't fight. Now, does that make any sense at all? No. Will Jamie even remember doing this interview when she wakes up in the morning? No. Was anything in this video you're watching right now remotely worth your time also know? But in the words of a great woman, what are you going to do? That's something for us all to reflect on.
