This is The Jesse Kelly Show. Oh, that is a good one. Thank you for playing that. Hi there. My name's Kelly Nash. Welcome to The World Famous Jesse Kelly Show. I am here for just tonight. A one-night-only stand with me, yours truly, Kelly Nash. And I'm looking back to New Hampshire now, and I am encouraged. This is one of these stories, when you look at it, you go... Maybe the voters aren't completely crazy. Perhaps they can see through. I'll say baloney. Although the words I was thinking of starts with a B and also has the letter S. But anyway, yeah, politicians are going to politic. They're going to lie. They're going to manipulate. They're going to try to tell you their version of reality. And then usually it feels like a lot of people believe that crap. You know, and typically in a primary, if you're on the Republican side, you run as far to the right as you can, and then you tack back to the center. And if you're on the left, you go to the— as far to the left as possible, and then you tack back to the center. But this year has brought a new crop of politicians. And on the left, what you have is the…
Speaker 2
So bear with me. I don't mean to jump on your answers, but you are a member of DSA, which is part of why we raise it. And that then sort of leads to the question of do you consider yourself a socialist or a capitalist? Again, trying to help voters understand where you are.
Speaker 1
I'm just a regular American trying to improve people's lives right here in New Hampshire. We are the richest country in the world.
Speaker 2
And I believe that anyone who works for you consider yourself a socialist or a capitalist.

…as your Bijani Chamber of Commerce. You've got a heritage here, three generations deep. Would your father is a young guy in New Hampshire. Out of them, I t with all he was doing and engineering and toughs, would he have supported the modern Republican Party. Well, if you if you're saying Donald Trump is the modern Republican Party, then the answer is probably not, because I don't think you know, I didn't support Donald Trump in the primary. My father didn't support Donald Trump in the primary. But look, I think the modern Republican Party is also people like Paul Ryant, John Sununu, Bob Cork or John Kasik. These are people who are great friends of mine. I think they're terrific leaders. So I think you're making a mistake if you if you throw out one issue or one person and try to use that specific to characterize the entire party to be a broad, inclusive party if we're gonna win. My note Greg…
