Speaker 1: with my co host Bobby Clifford. How you tuts, tuts?
Speaker 3: How's it going?
Speaker 1: It is much better than it was last week because
Speaker 1: life is like we finally put Timmy to his final
Speaker 1: resting place. And uh, I'm read about to hit Texas
Speaker 1: this week in so if you guys do not know
Speaker 1: where I'm going to be going to Tiffany Haddies dot
Speaker 1: com for ticket information. It is San Antonio, Houston, Austin,
Speaker 1: and I'm coming in like a trailblazer, and I'm not
Speaker 1: bringing a wheelchair with me.
Speaker 3: No hot wheels for you, not a damn hot wheel
Speaker 3: on the track.
Speaker 1: But Bobby, speaking of hot wheels, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: hot times that's happening in hot America. Is it a
Speaker 1: terror or isn't it a terror? Is it a tax?
Speaker 1: Or is it it? It is? We are all over
Speaker 1: the place. I think, I think because what has happened
Speaker 1: was Trump tried to raise these terrors for all these
Speaker 1: different countries. I think that the the plan it was
Speaker 1: there was that. First of all, there was never a plan.
Speaker 1: But I think that they called this bluff. I think
Speaker 1: that they called this bluff. And now he had to
Speaker 1: put a ninety day hold on it because it didn't
Speaker 1: work whatever he was trying to do to intimidate them
Speaker 1: other countries, they called his bluff and they threw that
Speaker 1: shit out the window.
Speaker 3: Oh not according to him. Well, first he put a
Speaker 3: ninety day hold, but not on China. On China he
Speaker 3: raised it to one hundred and twenty five percent. They
Speaker 3: had already put their retaliate retaliatory. Oh my god, say
Speaker 3: that's some times fast. Tariff's on of thirty four the
Speaker 3: other day I can't even imagine what it is now.
Speaker 3: According to the Press Secretary, we are so blessed to
Speaker 3: be in the most transparent administration. He never told us
Speaker 3: what the plan is. He never explained what he wanted. Supposedly,
Speaker 3: his people are saying that fifty fifty countries have come
Speaker 3: in there, you know there, he says, kissing their ass.
Speaker 3: According to a little snippet on Air Force one yesterday
Speaker 3: or today, they're looking to negotiate. I don't know what's
Speaker 3: true what's not true, but I know that everything that
Speaker 3: you're gonna mention one hundred and twenty five percent, So
Speaker 3: this bunny is going to be more than twice twice
Speaker 3: the price. You know, every little thing that we everything
Speaker 3: we get isn't from China. I just I don't. I
Speaker 3: don't understand if he came out and he was he
Speaker 3: was transparent about it and actually told us what he wanted,
Speaker 3: like cold tight, we're trying to get better deals. I
Speaker 3: know that Mosque called Navarro because Pete Navarro seems to
Speaker 3: be the boy in favor. He called him dumb as
Speaker 3: a bag of bricks. The Press Secretary said, Oh, boys
Speaker 3: will be boys. There are two men that boys will
Speaker 3: be boys. These are two middle aged men. I think
Speaker 3: they're over fifty. They can call it. It's a hot mess.
Speaker 3: Thes are a hot mess.
Speaker 1: Let me say this about the tears and y'all text
Speaker 1: in China one hundred and twenty five percent, because we
Speaker 1: do get a lot of things from China. And if
Speaker 1: you remember the first time he was in the administration,
Speaker 1: he said, the coronavirus cane from China. It came from China. Well,
Speaker 1: I wish you would a tax build there and maybe
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have got it.
Speaker 3: Shit honest and true, can you? And they have this
Speaker 3: propaganda that they've been putting out. I saw it on
Speaker 3: Chris Cuomo. His team ran it yesterday and it has
Speaker 3: this is what they think of the Americans. We're slovenly fat,
Speaker 3: We're like depressed. They have all of these big fat Americans.
Speaker 3: Supposedly it's ai in manufacturing jobs like doing the jobs
Speaker 3: that they do. They don't value their people. That's why
Speaker 3: they pay a penny. And that's why instead of paying
Speaker 3: thirty thousand or depending on the news station, or thirty
Speaker 3: five hundred for an iPhone, we pay a thousand because
Speaker 3: they pay them nothing over there. But they have us
Speaker 3: all looking like down having to do these jobs, and
Speaker 3: this is what it's going to look like in America.
Speaker 3: I just I kind of even one hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: five percent, I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to even beat them up about that,
Speaker 1: because in China and Korea and those kind of countries,
Speaker 1: they don't have shows called my six hundred pound life.
Speaker 1: They don't allow people to. If they do have people
Speaker 1: that satisage like that, they don't enhance it. They don't
Speaker 1: showcase it. They don't glorify it. They don't glorify that.
Speaker 1: They want you to be lean and in shape for
Speaker 1: military purposes or to for having children into production, So
Speaker 1: they don't glorify all that. America glorifies everything from the fat,
Speaker 1: to the unhealthy, to the unhinged, to the unhoused, to
Speaker 1: the racist, to the uh to the criminals in the
Speaker 1: White House, to everything. We glorify that we were gonna
Speaker 1: get our ass handed to us, but had doing that too.
Speaker 1: As a country. We really are we probably.
Speaker 3: Are, but I will say that, you know, these aren't
Speaker 3: great countries. They're also not feeding them. It's like the
Speaker 3: polar opposite.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, so they're not feeding them and they
Speaker 1: overfeed us. Is that what you're saying, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, we're overfair. I can I can speak from personal
Speaker 3: personal knowledge, definitely overfeeding. But I mean, there definitely seems
Speaker 3: to be there's some cracks that are happening in the GOP.
Speaker 3: I am sure you have seen it, just like I have.
Speaker 3: You know, people who are real I mean we talked
Speaker 3: about last week, Grand Paul. You know people that are
Speaker 3: real Trump supporters that are saying this, this isn't good.
Speaker 3: You know, like we're not. I don't understand it. I
Speaker 3: don't we don't want it. It is absolutely leading to
Speaker 3: leading to some sort of recession. They had an eighty
Speaker 3: seven crash, they had the two thousand and eight trouble
Speaker 3: that we had in the pandemic, and it's likened. What's
Speaker 3: happening in the stock market is likening to those times,
Speaker 3: and we had a terrible recession after all those times.
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's team, God bless them, they got us out
Speaker 3: of that recession with prior to this the strongest economy
Speaker 3: in the world. But now we're fing with everybody. You know,
Speaker 3: we used to be the old expression was we were
Speaker 3: the United States was the envy of the world and
Speaker 3: now we are the enemy of the world.
Speaker 1: It's it's very depressing. In than days, in less than
Speaker 1: I was saying less than ninety days. Wow, Wow, that
Speaker 1: is something right there. That is really something with the
Speaker 1: tariffs and with the indecisiveness of Donald Trump, because I'm
Speaker 1: never never going to call him president with the indecisiveness,
Speaker 1: because that's all over the place. The mere fact that
Speaker 1: Ran Paul, who I'm not a fan of. I love
Speaker 1: his dad, Ron Paul, but him is the fact that
Speaker 1: he is turning to say, hey, just ain't it. It
Speaker 1: really is a telltale side of Donald Trump is doing
Speaker 1: way too much that the Republicans are not happy with
Speaker 1: because they would have rolled with him to the wheels
Speaker 1: fell off. But even them now they're catching the brunt
Speaker 1: of the bullshit that he is shoving out. So it's
Speaker 1: still never gonna make me turn to be a Rand
Speaker 1: Paul fan. But I love the fact that he is
Speaker 1: starting to remember that I am an American. Yes I
Speaker 1: am Republican, but I do care about the democracy of
Speaker 1: our country, so I appreciate him for that. And as
Speaker 1: far as another America that spoke up, we want to
Speaker 1: give a shout out to Corey Booker for doing the
Speaker 1: longest speech on the Congress for twenty five plus hours
Speaker 1: without going to the bathroom. I thought that was most impressive.
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to jump on the bandwagon to
Speaker 1: be very positive towards Corey Booker because he teetered tarters
Speaker 1: and that is just my personal opinion. So and then
Speaker 1: you did this, but I needed a backup, say you
Speaker 1: made history. You did this. But this is when the
Speaker 1: Democrats were supposed to fall inland behind him to make
Speaker 1: it a domino effect. Okay, we're going to do this,
Speaker 1: we're going to implement this, We're going to put this
Speaker 1: candidate in. They just he did twenty five hours and
Speaker 1: did there's nothing but he did twenty five hours. That
Speaker 1: is my problem. There is never a back and there's
Speaker 1: never a follow through with the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3: Well, it was twenty five five hours, I think in
Speaker 3: five minutes, and I am proud of him for doing it,
Speaker 3: considering he's on the back of a racist who is
Speaker 3: trying to stop civil rights. Strong sermon. But what I
Speaker 3: would have loved to have heard in those twenty five
Speaker 3: hours and five minutes. And I think that you know
Speaker 3: that other Democrats people on his team certainly knew that
Speaker 3: he was going to get up and he was going
Speaker 3: to do this. Why did they band together and get
Speaker 3: like a script? You know what I would have loved
Speaker 3: to have heard. You know, I'm a girl who loves
Speaker 3: a good solution. I would have liked to have heard
Speaker 3: without talking about trumping nuts and anything negative. I would
Speaker 3: have liked to have said them say, for instance, tariffs
Speaker 3: they are not good, and give the reasons, outline the
Speaker 3: reasons why they aren't good, and then flame give me
Speaker 3: a suggestion or outcomes that you think would have been
Speaker 3: better and that you would have or your party would
Speaker 3: have put forth instead of the tariffs, because there's going
Speaker 3: to be a million. But he could have gone down
Speaker 3: every inch of Project twenty twenty five and outlined why
Speaker 3: he thinks certain parts of it were not good and
Speaker 3: what the alternative is instead. Yeah, there was a lot
Speaker 3: of talking about what wasn't terrific. Excuse me, I couldn't
Speaker 3: spit that out. But I didn't hear a lot of solutions.
Speaker 3: I didn't hear a lot of outcomes. I just heard
Speaker 3: a lot of negativity. And we really don't need the
Speaker 3: negativity right now. I appreciate him doing it. I applaud
Speaker 3: him for doing He's doing something, just like you know,
Speaker 3: hands off rallies. They're doing something. It's better than those
Speaker 3: of us meeting me who are sitting And I'm complaining
Speaker 3: about it right now, but I haven't. I haven't taken
Speaker 3: any action myself. But I think it was a lost opportunity.
Speaker 1: You did you voted on November fourth. Do you know
Speaker 1: how many people? Do you know how many people were
Speaker 1: out there protests and hands off that did not vote? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I know ninety people. Ninety million people didn't vote, So
Speaker 3: that would have been that would have been absolutely terrific
Speaker 3: to say, you know, if we if those ninety million
Speaker 3: people got up and voted. But I just would have
Speaker 3: liked I'm still applauding him for it. It was an
Speaker 3: unbelievable feat. I just think it was an opportunity lost.
Speaker 3: I think they could have messaged that we've been talking
Speaker 3: about that we need strong leadership and we need a
Speaker 3: solid message and how we're going to move things full
Speaker 3: and correct things. And I think this would have been
Speaker 3: the perfect time to open up that the floor to
Speaker 3: that and and then nail that message for the next
Speaker 3: year and a half until the the the midterm elections.
Speaker 3: That's all I want to say about Corey Booker. The
Speaker 3: other one who I just and we can get back
Speaker 3: to Booker I don't want to forget is Tom Tillis.
Speaker 3: He had come out against the against the tariffs and
Speaker 3: had said which I was a little surprised, and he said,
Speaker 3: you know, there's an old expression about whose throat I
Speaker 3: can choke, you know, when someone makes a mistake, he said,
Speaker 3: and I'm looking for somebody to have ourn ownership of Naturally,
Speaker 3: it's not going to be President Trump. So who else?
Speaker 3: Who else is taking ownership of these tariffs? We don't
Speaker 3: know why, we don't know when, we don't know what
Speaker 3: the message, we don't know how long. And I thought, oh, so,
Speaker 3: I mean there are we're seeing, we're seeing a few cracks.
Speaker 3: Hopefully those good gops get together and somebody gets the
Speaker 3: president's ear. Because just alone, if you're somebody who is
Speaker 3: getting close to retirement age, you know, people have lost
Speaker 3: up to thirty percent in the retirement portfolios, you know,
Speaker 3: and they're already talking about messing around with Social Security.
Speaker 3: You can't mess around with that money, you know. I
Speaker 3: most of us don't even take a peek at it
Speaker 3: until it's time of because the markets can be so
Speaker 3: volatile and up and down. But you know, I feel
Speaker 3: really badly for that. That's you're never going to get
Speaker 3: that money back. Even if he stops today and everything correct,
Speaker 3: claim you're never going to get that money back. There
Speaker 3: was companies lost, they said over the past week. I
Speaker 3: was just watching CNN and they said companies have lost
Speaker 3: five trillion since Liberation Day. He said, and the consumers
Speaker 3: or the customers that everything's going to trickle down to
Speaker 3: we have lost up to thirty trillion dollars already. That
Speaker 3: things are going to but we're just not going to
Speaker 3: be able to recoup those moneys.
Speaker 1: And the scary party is, Bobby, just like after the pandemic,
Speaker 1: they're going to try to recoup the money price gouging
Speaker 1: and excessiveness and ridiculousness, and people will not be able
Speaker 1: to survive, and it will become survival of the fittest
Speaker 1: because you're gonna want to feed your family, You're gonna
Speaker 1: want to feed your children. It is barbaric that they're
Speaker 1: not considering all Americans in this. But this terriff thing
Speaker 1: is up and down, and I'm telling you, Bobby, I
Speaker 1: order my fans that I sell from China. Oh, I
Speaker 1: come from China. It was already twelve hundred dollars for shipping.
Speaker 1: The fans weren't even that expensive, but the shipping alone
Speaker 1: was twelve hundred. That was before these tariffs. Now they're
Speaker 1: talking about excess of five thousand dollars, which means I
Speaker 1: don't have to raise the price of my fans like
Speaker 1: double to like fifty bucks. I'm not charging people fifty
Speaker 1: dollars for a damn fan. That is ridiculous. So these
Speaker 1: fans that you get from me, now y'all want to
Speaker 1: hold on to them, they're gonna be collectings. I I'm
Speaker 1: not spending all that money, and I'm not going to
Speaker 1: ask my people, my fans, or my people who love
Speaker 1: me to spend crazy money like that on a damning No.
Speaker 1: It's no, it's just no. Sometimes you have to just
Speaker 1: consider people's not only their feelings, but their finances, because
Speaker 1: finances are all over the place with everybody. We're all
Speaker 1: living paycheck to paycheck or hell meal the meal we have,
Speaker 1: we have listened, we have. If this new generation have
Speaker 1: not learned how to stretch a meal, they're about to learn.
Speaker 1: We know how to stretch a meal, Bobby. Oh, we
Speaker 1: know how to stretch a meal.
Speaker 3: We used to call it in my house American chop suey.
Speaker 3: It's just a lot of red sauce and a little
Speaker 3: tiny bit of hamburger and a lot of pasta.
Speaker 1: My grandmother can make some eggs, rice and potatoes go
Speaker 1: a long way. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Up, that's another one that we had. Yeah, that's hysteric,
Speaker 3: isn't that funny?
Speaker 1: And that's why I tell you, Bobby, people are more
Speaker 1: like than they are different. That is a meal too,
Speaker 1: and a lot of poor households eggs, rice and potatoes
Speaker 1: with some onions in there, some bell pepper that bill
Speaker 1: fill you up. And it's in fact, it's absolutely delicious.
Speaker 1: Let me just let you know that because it's.
Speaker 3: Protein, it's got your carbon there. And then if you
Speaker 3: have the bell peppers and stuff, that's your fruit on
Speaker 3: your vegetable that's there. So yeah, it is yep.
Speaker 1: So I'm praying for all Americans that please hold on
Speaker 1: to it, because the fear is if the tariffs raise
Speaker 1: crazy and the billionaires go in and buy everything, then
Speaker 1: they drop the tariffs. Then the millionaires will be left out,
Speaker 1: but we will really be tore out because we're not
Speaker 1: millionaires or billionaires, so we will have to buy it
Speaker 1: from billionaires in this country. And we can already see
Speaker 1: that they are super, super greedy. They really are super greedy.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you. I was actually surprised to hear Musk
Speaker 3: speak out against the tariffs, and that's why he was insulting.
Speaker 3: It was it was funny to see the two important
Speaker 3: people in celting. So Navarro says that Mosque isn't a
Speaker 3: car manufacturer, he's an assembler. He thought that was a
Speaker 3: big insult, and then the other one said he was
Speaker 3: dumb as a bag of bricks. But he came out
Speaker 3: against it because he is a manufacturer, so he knows what.
Speaker 3: He knows how that's going to affect his bottom line
Speaker 3: and how that's not going to work. If the thought
Speaker 3: is that Trump is doing this to bring manufacturing back
Speaker 3: to the United States, but that is that's an end game.
Speaker 3: That's a long time from right now. A lot of
Speaker 3: people do in the meantime, and there are a lot
Speaker 3: of things. You know, Innovation is why we lost a
Speaker 3: lot of jobs, because we could do certain things better
Speaker 3: and quicker, and it was more profitable and then the
Speaker 3: lousy jobs like the China was showing America doing sitting
Speaker 3: in front of sewing machines and stuff that got farmed
Speaker 3: out because it wasn't as profitable. So you're never going
Speaker 3: to get those the innovative jobs back because nobody wants them,
Speaker 3: nobody wants to work them. You know, you got rid
Speaker 3: of our migrants, so you're not going to get those
Speaker 3: jobs back. It just it just it makes no sense.
Speaker 3: In the United States. There are other manufacturing jobs, and
Speaker 3: that's what they kind of need to be. The technology
Speaker 3: and whatnot. That's what they need to be focusing on.
Speaker 3: But if fact is, I mean he should, he should
Speaker 3: come out and say it. I mean he's got excuse me,
Speaker 3: absolutely no messaging with it. His whole group doesn't because
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody knows well.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, Bobby, this is what I'm thinking that,
Speaker 1: like Kamala Harris said when she was running for when
Speaker 1: she was captlaigning to be the president, if he was
Speaker 1: surrounded with people who had a the right mindset, because
Speaker 1: now it is like he's bonkers and everybody around him
Speaker 1: is too afraid. Bonker.
Speaker 4: Yes, because unhinged power it is unchallenged power when he
Speaker 4: one man can make a mistake taken in the country.
Speaker 4: One man has got enemies to so many different countries.
Speaker 1: Now that we were allies with or that we were
Speaker 1: in bed with in the business. One glance one person
Speaker 1: because nobody is arounded around him to say, hey, stops,
Speaker 1: this is not what it is and this is the
Speaker 1: collateral damage for us as a country. To fall out
Speaker 1: is going to be real bad, Bobby. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: it's going to be real bad for us as a country.
Speaker 3: We're going to feel it in our in our pocket books.
Speaker 3: But the only the only way that we can we
Speaker 3: can return that is to hold our pocket books. That's
Speaker 3: where our power, our vote, our pocketbooks. Saying you don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't want whatever that is. I'm gonna things are
Speaker 3: tough at home and I'm going to have to hold off. No,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to be able to buy the meat
Speaker 3: that comes from wherever it's coming from because we're not
Speaker 3: going to Brazil. You know, We're not going to be
Speaker 3: able to afford it. We're going to be eating a
Speaker 3: lot of eggs. I might get a couple of chickens myself.
Speaker 3: We're going to have to figure it out. We have.
Speaker 3: But what it is is we don't as Americans, we
Speaker 3: don't want that. We don't want to go. We don't
Speaker 3: want to sacrifice, we don't want to make, we don't
Speaker 3: want to do the hard stuff our parents, our forefathers did,
Speaker 3: all did that. But I don't see my son's group.
Speaker 3: I don't see them going without. I don't think I
Speaker 3: just don't get it.
Speaker 1: The terroriffs. I don't think Donald Trump understood the severity
Speaker 1: of because and what you said earlier about it was
Speaker 1: what he wants that. This is what he wants. He
Speaker 1: wants people to kiss his ass. That's why he said
Speaker 1: that so proudly. Oh they're kissing back. This is what
Speaker 1: he truly wants, which has nothing to do with politics.
Speaker 1: Politics is a working game together amongst adult people who
Speaker 1: have an end game. His in game is all about him.
Speaker 1: So when I've seen that, when he said that too,
Speaker 1: they're kissing my Oh, they're kissing my ass. That is
Speaker 1: what he wants. This is all that he wants. He's
Speaker 1: a power to be able to say that people have
Speaker 1: to gravel to his foolishness when he is unprepared and
Speaker 1: ill equipped to hold the office that he was elected to.
Speaker 1: That is what makes other countries look at us crazy, Bobby.
Speaker 1: This man wasn't boiled into royalty. He wasn't appointed by
Speaker 1: the Queen or king. We elected him.
Speaker 3: He's the he's the retribution president. Remember I mean he
Speaker 3: we had a bunch of last week. If you were
Speaker 3: a law firm that either employed somebody that that went
Speaker 3: against him in one of those cases, refused to take
Speaker 3: his case. He has been slamming them all with taking
Speaker 3: their access to public buildings away, to taking their government
Speaker 3: contracts of those law firms away. And if some of
Speaker 3: them have one of them was Doug Emhoff's old law firm,
Speaker 3: because they had employed him. If they employed somebody that
Speaker 3: was a that he considered it some sort of enemy,
Speaker 3: or somebody that didn't that didn't support him, he's he's
Speaker 3: spent in their hand. And a few people, including dog
Speaker 3: Doug Gafhouse's old firm, I have kind of fallen in
Speaker 3: fallen in line. They are going to do one hundred
Speaker 3: uh million in pro bono work for groups or or
Speaker 3: with legal services to support whatever he wants, you know,
Speaker 3: like groups that need that need legal help for interests
Speaker 3: that he has. So one of them was Wilkie fire.
Speaker 3: The other one was Millbank five hundred. I was reading
Speaker 3: just just before this. There are two five hundred group
Speaker 3: people that have filed something called an amicus brief that
Speaker 3: say that its violates the Constitution, and they're pushing forward. Uh,
Speaker 3: you know, they're not pleased with it. He did the
Speaker 3: same thing with some of these colleges. If they had
Speaker 3: they took their dei away or did anything that he
Speaker 3: didn't like. So, as I said, we're going to be
Speaker 3: tied up in a lot of losses over the next
Speaker 3: four years. It's going to cost us a lot of
Speaker 3: money to get all this stuff done. But I think
Speaker 3: he likes to reach out. He likes to see how
Speaker 3: far he can get, and unfortunately it's going to cost
Speaker 3: us to show him. Look at TikTok is is they
Speaker 3: had some sort of agreement that was in place.
Speaker 1: Before you go any further. I want to go back
Speaker 1: to to I want you to get You just said
Speaker 1: something and it sparked something in my head. So he
Speaker 1: came with these tears and then put a ninety day
Speaker 1: hold on them like he was a saving grace. He
Speaker 1: also remember he did the same bullshit with TikTok right
Speaker 1: before the election, like they were going away, and then
Speaker 1: he came in and it stepped in like he saved
Speaker 1: the day. I hope you guys are paying attention to
Speaker 1: the parallels of the foolishness, because he is doing this
Speaker 1: to try to make you forget that he was the
Speaker 1: one who fucked it up, so it looks like he's
Speaker 1: saving it. Here's the one who's messing it up. But
Speaker 1: then it turns around it looks like he's saving it,
Speaker 1: and y'all are so easily smoke screen. I don't understand
Speaker 1: why you people just don't pay attention to everything. This
Speaker 1: is the same bullshit that he did. He wants to
Speaker 1: look like I saved us. I did this. You put
Speaker 1: the tariffs on them, You slapt all these countries with
Speaker 1: these excessive tariffs, and then step in at the last
Speaker 1: minute because it didn't go your way, to look like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a pause on it. They did the
Speaker 1: same shit with TikTok right before he won the election,
Speaker 1: and then it looked like he saved TikTok. People, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, people out there in laughing alone the world,
Speaker 1: please pay attention. I'm just asking you, please pay attention
Speaker 1: to this because this is a non this is an
Speaker 1: ongoing thing that he's going to keep doing. It makes
Speaker 1: him look like the hero. It makes him look like
Speaker 1: the hero when he keeps dropping the ball, which I'll
Speaker 1: keep discarding that he creates the foolishness and then it
Speaker 1: goes in like he's trying to fix it. But he'll
Speaker 1: he's quick to holler, oh, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. With all of them, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Why is he the president?
Speaker 3: He's the master of distraction. He absolutely is the master
Speaker 3: of distraction. But when you take a Chinese company, or
Speaker 3: you're in negotiations with a Chinese company, and then you
Speaker 3: slam the country with one hundred and twenty five percent
Speaker 3: tariffs and that wasn't even that was today one hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty five percent. He didn't like that. I think
Speaker 3: it was eighty four percent he was giving them before
Speaker 3: they pulled out of that deal. And you know who's
Speaker 3: leading the charge of those negotiations, don't you, our friend
Speaker 3: jd Vance. So we'll see, we'll see what the heck happens.
Speaker 3: I guess we have seventy five days from it was
Speaker 3: last week before he pulls the plug on TikTok. But
Speaker 3: the same reason, the same thought process was people are
Speaker 3: wondering why he's hitting everybody with terriffs lame. But the
Speaker 3: one country we haven't heard that are being hit with
Speaker 3: tariffs are Russia. And so his people are coming forward
Speaker 3: and saying it wouldn't it be stupid when we're in
Speaker 3: negotiations for peace to hit them with tariffs? And I'm like, well,
Speaker 3: you just hit You're in a negotiation with TikTok, and
Speaker 3: you just hit the country with I don't know, seems
Speaker 3: a little crazy because you know it's supposed to be
Speaker 3: private people. But I'm sure that the country is involved
Speaker 3: in TikTok.
Speaker 1: Sorry for I have a question. If they raise the
Speaker 1: tariffs on China and jd Vance is to control most
Speaker 1: weeks come from China, what is jd Vance going to
Speaker 1: do about his weeks?
Speaker 3: Pretty eyes and pretty hair? Oh when he wants to
Speaker 3: get into rig yourself from me.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. According to some media outlets, China is
Speaker 1: doing a reciprocal text to terrorists that mostly target the
Speaker 1: Red States. They're really trying to target the Red States.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're going to distinguish that. But
Speaker 1: they're really trying to target the Red States, Bobby.
Speaker 3: Unless it's stuff that my computer just shut down, stuff
Speaker 3: that that I kind of even imagine what a red
Speaker 3: state would be, would use more than what we would use.
Speaker 3: I don't know how they're going to distinguish that either.
Speaker 1: Look, red states will use more, Loube because according to
Speaker 1: that point site, the Red States, the r NC shuts
Speaker 1: it down. So I think they might lose a little
Speaker 1: boy lube.
Speaker 3: Honest to god, that is hysterical. I think we're all
Speaker 3: going to even prepare. See it's such a slippery slope.
Speaker 3: And I'm not an economist, so it's hard to talk
Speaker 3: about it. But if we all all hold our purses
Speaker 3: too tightly, what's going to happen is it will kind
Speaker 3: of force a recession. But we also have to make
Speaker 3: sure that we're not overspending or maybe making really big purchases,
Speaker 3: not until we know what's going to happen with the
Speaker 3: with the tariffs. You know, if they go away, as
Speaker 3: I said, all that money is gone. You're not going
Speaker 3: to get it back. But we can try to rebuild.
Speaker 3: But you know, my sister was saying, geez, I wonder
Speaker 3: if I should get a car now before the tariff's
Speaker 3: actually hit because their car has been acting up a little.
Speaker 3: She'd like to hold on to it, but she also
Speaker 3: doesn't want to get stuck, you know, and be putting
Speaker 3: good money after bad. I don't know. It's I don't
Speaker 3: know how you.
Speaker 1: It is. It is. A recession is inevitable, Bobby. It's
Speaker 1: just the truth. A recession really is inevitable. At the
Speaker 1: at the rate that we are going, at the rate
Speaker 1: that we are going, it really is.
Speaker 3: Well, I hope I get a job before it hits.
Speaker 1: I'll job, you're going to get You're going to get
Speaker 1: another job, and we're gonna get a season five. Bob,
Speaker 1: I'm claiming it right down.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope.
Speaker 3: Did you see that the head of the I R S.
Speaker 3: I thought this was I see. I'm nervous about all
Speaker 3: these good people having integrity and leaving. But he left
Speaker 3: his job because they're trying to get the I R
Speaker 3: S to disclose tax information for migrants. And yes, they
Speaker 3: pay taxes, folks, and we keep the taxes. They don't
Speaker 3: even benefit, but we keep a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 3: Uh So that so that Ice can swoop in and
Speaker 3: do some deportation. And I thought, good for him, and
Speaker 3: then I thought, oh God, but who's going to get
Speaker 3: stuck in there?
Speaker 1: Then whoever he decides, whoever whoever said he got nice hair?
Speaker 1: Uh oh, I like your golf shoes. That there's so
Speaker 1: many unqualified people are getting these positions that do not
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, which is well, we are in
Speaker 1: such a turmoil even with these tarifs because they keep
Speaker 1: hiring non qualified applicants to handle this. It is barbaric
Speaker 1: and ridiculous. What was I going to tell you about, Bobby? Oh?
Speaker 1: I want to touch on the case Bobby that's happening
Speaker 1: in Texas right now with two young men, one man
Speaker 1: to both seventeen year old young guys. One unfortunately lost
Speaker 1: his life and according to media, he was a notorious bully,
Speaker 1: him and his twin brother. According to some media outlets,
Speaker 1: some of the outlets say different. But whatever the case
Speaker 1: may be, it was an incident of two twin brothers
Speaker 1: and a young black boy and they were all football
Speaker 1: players or what have you, and it wasn't a case
Speaker 1: of mistaken identity. According to all the media sources are
Speaker 1: saying that it was a bullying incident that went too far.
Speaker 1: I don't know why people don't address bullying, because bullying
Speaker 1: equals death these days, billy is really bad. Unfortunately, the
Speaker 1: young seventeen year old white boy lost his life being
Speaker 1: stabbed by the allegedly by the guy that they were
Speaker 1: supposed to been bullying, who was a black guy. His
Speaker 1: name is Carmelo Anthony. And I think Carmela was afraid.
Speaker 1: I wasn't there. I don't know any of these parties.
Speaker 1: This is just my take order from what I've been reading.
Speaker 1: I think that Carmela was afraid and he swung out
Speaker 1: the knife. He had a knife he swung out, and
Speaker 1: I think he meant to scare or maybe even too Maine,
Speaker 1: but never to kill. And they are just it is just.
Speaker 1: It is the division in the country. If the division
Speaker 1: in the country wasn't already enough, it is really dividing
Speaker 1: people because it was a white boy and a black
Speaker 1: boy and it's just bobby. It is I hate to
Speaker 1: see us as Americans being pulled away from each other
Speaker 1: like this when so many lives are affected. The boy
Speaker 1: who did the killing, his life will be affected forever.
Speaker 1: The boy who died of course his life he's gone,
Speaker 1: but he had a twin brother who was there with him,
Speaker 1: and his life will be affected. Everybody's going to need therapy.
Speaker 1: The parents. It is so barbary, and we're watching this
Speaker 1: story and fold you don't want to take a side,
Speaker 1: but you do want to take a side. My issue
Speaker 1: is with nobody but the parents. If your child has
Speaker 1: been if you've been told that your child is a
Speaker 1: bully by more than one kid, but other parents coming
Speaker 1: to you, do something, address your kid to say hey,
Speaker 1: they say what we do. This is not cool. But sometimes, Barbie,
Speaker 1: these kids get These kids get away from their parents.
Speaker 1: You know, we're parents. We've done all we could to
Speaker 1: make sure our kids had everything. But the world still
Speaker 1: gives them what they want them to have, and those
Speaker 1: kids received that sometimes, So you can't blame that. I
Speaker 1: just hate that this ended like this, so tragically. Behind
Speaker 1: this boy losing his life, and this other boy could
Speaker 1: lose his life in prison. Well he's in Texas. Hell,
Speaker 1: Texas could execute him. Texas is cold bloody.
Speaker 3: I think we need We were talking about this offline,
Speaker 3: and I need more detail because there's so little actual
Speaker 3: facts that are out there right now there's a ton
Speaker 3: that's on social media, and they're saying not to listen
Speaker 3: to the social media. But the bottom line is what
Speaker 3: you said, A if it's bullying, I mean, he has
Speaker 3: to be addressed anyway, and that this is a perfect
Speaker 3: time to tell people you know, you've got to you.
Speaker 3: I was an opposite parent when my anybody said anything
Speaker 3: about my son, I would say, Okay, what did they do?
Speaker 3: Even though he was a great kid and he didn't
Speaker 3: do a lot, but I always assumed that the adult
Speaker 3: who was telling me was correct, and I certainly would
Speaker 3: have had that that conversation. I was lucky that my
Speaker 3: kid was not. It was a pretty big kid, so
Speaker 3: he was not bullied. But I think we're going to
Speaker 3: have to follow this one and see I saw the
Speaker 3: picture of Carmela Anthony was his name, and I saw
Speaker 3: his the picture of his mugshot, and he looked terrified,
Speaker 3: and I was terrified for him. And regardless of what's happening,
Speaker 3: if it turns out that the I don't even know
Speaker 3: the other the other player that the kid who goes
Speaker 3: says he if he was not the one that was
Speaker 3: bullying him, somebody bullied that kid because that he wouldn't
Speaker 3: have reacted that way if somebody wasn't bothering him on
Speaker 3: the regular. And my heart just spoke from a seventeen
Speaker 3: year old kid in a prison down in Texas. It
Speaker 3: just I don't see a good income. I mean, excuse me.
Speaker 1: In Frisco, Texas, which I don't know much about, but
Speaker 1: from what I've been reading is uh, yeah, it's not
Speaker 1: the It's not the happiest place on earth. Let's just
Speaker 1: say that it's so sad because that boy is seventeen
Speaker 1: years old and he's petrified and Bobby, he has to
Speaker 1: live with that every day. That chime I probably closed
Speaker 1: his eyes and see that incident happening over and over again.
Speaker 1: And people say this could have been avoided. Yes, it
Speaker 1: could have been avoided if the Bullians would not have
Speaker 1: been brilliant. And if this is somebody would an adult
Speaker 1: somewhere would have intervened to say hey, no, no, but
Speaker 1: nobody did they Sometimes they let this play out, and
Speaker 1: this played out to the tragic. This is the end
Speaker 1: of somebody's life and possibly another person's life because this boy,
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony accorded all the sources four point zero grade
Speaker 1: point average. Both parents at home, a great kid, a
Speaker 1: fantastic student of football. He had so much going for
Speaker 1: himself as well as so did Ausin. A little white
Speaker 1: boy that was murdered, he had great things going for
Speaker 1: him too. This has the racism one more time. Racism
Speaker 1: is a learning behavior. I don't know who's teaching you
Speaker 1: to hate somebody else, but you got to stop this bullshit.
Speaker 1: Look at what is turning us into. We are so
Speaker 1: separated and divided in this country, and this outcome of
Speaker 1: this case could make us even more further apart than
Speaker 1: what we are. But I want to say, if we're
Speaker 1: gonna pull up all the stops written house whose mother
Speaker 1: drove him across state, Lions who got involved in something
Speaker 1: that had absolutely nothing to do with this got off.
Speaker 1: He had nothing to do with what was going on.
Speaker 1: He wasn't being bullied. He just wanted to instigate the
Speaker 1: institute implement himself as some shit that had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with him. Zimmerman killed the black boy that was
Speaker 1: going in the opposite way because he needed something to do,
Speaker 1: and he got off. I don't want the unfairness of
Speaker 1: this country's judicial system, which we all know it is
Speaker 1: extremely unfair to play out in the court of public opinion,
Speaker 1: and this boy is crucified long before he gets a
Speaker 1: fair trial.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope we'll follow this one. We need him
Speaker 3: a little bit more meat, at least I need a
Speaker 3: little bit more meat before I can say anything either way.
Speaker 3: But I just my heartbreaks. It's two families destroyed, just destroyed.
Speaker 3: That's the only thing that I can say.
Speaker 1: And the Anderson Bystander's kids that was around because this
Speaker 1: was a redundant in front of other people, so they
Speaker 1: witnessed this thesault. This happened. You have to think about
Speaker 1: this is a domino effect. This will either change people
Speaker 1: or make people a different person for the rest of
Speaker 1: their lives. Because so many kids say this seventeen. This
Speaker 1: was a group of seventeen, sixteen, fifteen year olds. The
Speaker 1: mind is not fully developed. They see a tragic murder.
Speaker 1: You know it is, it is. It's a lot. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'll to get some passionate about it. But that could
Speaker 1: have been my key, that could have been by this kid,
Speaker 1: that could have been your kid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one time stabbed him one This wasn't like
Speaker 3: he stabbed him thirty two times. Just got lucky and
Speaker 3: stabbed him right in the heart.
Speaker 1: Not lucky, Oh, not lucky. It was just it was
Speaker 1: a true unlucky.
Speaker 3: It is what I should say, lucky.
Speaker 1: Actually, I don't think he tried to even hit. I
Speaker 1: think he was just like get away, get away, possibly,
Speaker 1: and it just when you're afraid, fear is a huge
Speaker 1: factor to make you act out. And I believe that
Speaker 1: the young cousany said, according to to all the news
Speaker 1: out that he said, if you put your hands on
Speaker 1: me again and again means that you have are tested me.
Speaker 1: According to them, they say they broke his phone and
Speaker 1: they terrorized him. And I have teenagers I have. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something, A kids cell phone is like
Speaker 1: their third hand. You take your kid's phone as a parent,
Speaker 1: they will fist up at you. You know, depending on
Speaker 1: what kind of parents you are. It is eighty one.
Speaker 3: Year old mother who feels the same. She's worse than
Speaker 3: a teenager. It's never out of her hands, and she'll say, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm looking at a baby. I said, Mom, he's probably
Speaker 3: a baby from Iran or Russia where their hack on
Speaker 3: your phone as we speak. If you don't know that baby,
Speaker 3: put the goddamn phone down. Yeah, no, absolutely, it is.
Speaker 3: It's our world's revolve around it. We handle business out
Speaker 3: of it. This is adults. You know, your private life,
Speaker 3: your calendar, your everything. When I I've already told you
Speaker 3: all that I was laid off, and when I had
Speaker 3: to turn my work computer in, I was unaware that
Speaker 3: my personal phone and all of my contacts synced to
Speaker 3: my work computer. So when they stripped my computer, I
Speaker 3: lost everything. So you know, when you lose a job,
Speaker 3: the first thing you do the first few weeks is
Speaker 3: network network. I lost all my I didn't know who
Speaker 3: was what. I had people reaching out saying, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry about the layoff. They had fifteen hundred people.
Speaker 3: I just happened to be one of the lucky ones,
Speaker 3: same kind of lucky, and I had to say, uh,
Speaker 3: who says thank you for reaching out, but who is it?
Speaker 3: And I sort of built the built my phone back
Speaker 3: that way. But yeah, the kids, your phone is everything
Speaker 3: to them to have, and especially if you're a kid.
Speaker 3: I know nothing about what kind of means he came from,
Speaker 3: but if you're a kid who doesn't have a lot
Speaker 3: of money, Jesus, I would have to think about how
Speaker 3: I was going to replace the phone. So you know,
Speaker 3: I'd be in a little bit in panic. And sometimes
Speaker 3: you have parents that are pretty strict too, and he
Speaker 3: might have been thinking, oh my god, I'm going to
Speaker 3: go home and go and get killed. But we'll have
Speaker 3: to follow that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one is a but people are donating to
Speaker 1: the camp paying. There is a go fund me campaign
Speaker 1: for both kids, one for Anthony and one Austin. So
Speaker 1: uh and then the the Austin kids family parents are
Speaker 1: not together, so they have two separate go fund Me accounts.
Speaker 1: But Camarlos, Anthony's parents, I know, Bobby Camels and Anthony's
Speaker 1: parents are together. There's one go fund me account. They
Speaker 1: actually took it down and somebody had to reveal it
Speaker 1: and redo another one because it again the separatism of
Speaker 1: who we are as a nation and the colorized skiing
Speaker 1: has made has become so bigger than who we are
Speaker 1: as American people. That is so crazy to me. But
Speaker 1: it is very scary and it is barbaria. We will
Speaker 1: sit back and let you know how these tarifts are
