Speaker 1: Hey, hey, Hey, this is comedian Say Monroe and welcome
Speaker 1: to this week's episode of Laugh and Learned. We are here, y'all.
Speaker 1: We just came off of hot vice presidential debates. I
Speaker 1: am here with my beautiful co host, the one and
Speaker 1: only the icons, the miss Toots. Hi you Bobby, Oh Tuts?
Speaker 3: How's it going? They speak to chill It must be good.
Speaker 1: I had a great week, Bobby. I went to Ben Salem,
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania this past weekend with Tiffany Haddish, And you know
Speaker 1: what I learned about my country that I love that
Speaker 1: I lived in, and as much as so many of
Speaker 1: us on this side of the fans who does not
Speaker 1: support Donald Trump, Ben Salem reminded me of how many
Speaker 1: people are on the other side that absolutely adored Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And I say that not to say that there's love
Speaker 1: and hate, but it just showed me that a lot
Speaker 1: of people have a lot of him, and a lot
Speaker 1: of those Trump supporters came to the show at Parks Casino.
Speaker 1: Thank you Parks Casino for hosting us. We had a
Speaker 1: great time and they absolutely loved me. So with all
Speaker 1: the partisanship, because I do tell political jokes, but when
Speaker 1: I do talk about Trump, Pelosi, Biden, Harris, all of
Speaker 1: them Clinton, I am very fair at who I take
Speaker 1: a dig at, and I don't go through their politics.
Speaker 1: I go out to them as a person. So thank
Speaker 1: you to the audience there. They were great, such wonderful
Speaker 1: people in Ben Salem, and there they were Trump signs
Speaker 1: and billboards and everything, and I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: But because I read the room that's in front of
Speaker 1: me and not the room that I want to be
Speaker 1: in front of me, They loved me. They've got plenty
Speaker 1: of fans. I got a whole new fan base. And
Speaker 1: I hope that they are listening to laugh Aline because
Speaker 1: I did talk about it on stage. So yay. And
Speaker 1: now we're home and yesterday listen first of before we
Speaker 1: get to the debate and all that stuff, Bobby, this
Speaker 1: was a track. This was just a last These last
Speaker 1: two weeks, we have lost so many ideas, just so
Speaker 1: many people. You know, we lost Dave Maggie Smith just
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago.
Speaker 3: I love her.
Speaker 1: I loved her too, and so many movies I remember her.
Speaker 1: And I was never a big hairy party move but
Speaker 1: when I tell you I loved her in Sister Act,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. And uh, then we just lost John Amos. Yes,
Speaker 1: well here's the thing. John Amos actually died a month ago,
Speaker 1: August first, But we just found out yesterday. Who was
Speaker 1: America's dad to me? On good times? He wasn't take
Speaker 1: you in roots. He played in so many days and
Speaker 1: he was like one of those unsung great actors who
Speaker 1: never got this huge platform. But he was always good
Speaker 1: in everything that he did. Hell, he was great in
Speaker 1: coming to America as the father he was just an
Speaker 1: all around good actor. It's a lot of stress and
Speaker 1: dramma behind him passing. We also lost the legend himself,
Speaker 1: Chris Christofferson eight years old.
Speaker 3: He was hot when he was.
Speaker 1: Young, Bobby, you took the words out of my mouth.
Speaker 1: That was I was about to say. That was a
Speaker 1: good looking white boy when he was young. Now when
Speaker 1: he was when I was young, he was already old.
Speaker 1: But I'm talking about we.
Speaker 3: Movie like I remember A Star is Born, And of
Speaker 3: course I think we were too young at the time
Speaker 3: when that came out to watch it in the real
Speaker 3: but when it came out on TV, I just remember thinking,
Speaker 3: he has you know, and sometimes people don't necessarily have
Speaker 3: to be, you know, super handsome, like perfection. Sometimes they
Speaker 3: just have it, do you know what I mean? And
Speaker 3: they and he did. He had some sort of swag
Speaker 3: that that just made him handsome. He wrote also themes
Speaker 3: in musician. He wrote all sorts of music. He was
Speaker 3: a really kind of an all around type of guy.
Speaker 3: People are upset that they they haven't told us the
Speaker 3: reason he died.
Speaker 1: I'm like he was eighty eight. You talking about he
Speaker 1: has swag? He had as he had more than swag.
Speaker 1: He has something. God, oh god, I didn't even know that.
Speaker 3: That's hysterical. Yeah, I think actually, John, I think he
Speaker 3: actually my father loved him in Good Times. I had
Speaker 3: to get back to him. I'm jumping from death to death.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to go back. My father had two
Speaker 3: shows that he loved. He loved actually Bunker and he
Speaker 3: he loved James from Good Times. So yeah, he kind
Speaker 3: of it kind of brought up and went. And he's
Speaker 3: the same age as my dad would have been. So
Speaker 3: I thought, well to that, Chris, Chris Jofferson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so interesting fact about John Amos. When he was
Speaker 1: on Maud and he played uh as the Road Florida's
Speaker 1: a husband or his name was Henry. But then when
Speaker 1: they got off, when they got the spinoff, The Good Hands,
Speaker 1: his name was James.
Speaker 3: Wasn't Wasn't that this? Yes? Yes, yeah, that's too funny.
Speaker 1: Yep. He played like.
Speaker 3: Jefferson he had He was a Henry too, wasn't he when.
Speaker 1: He was he was on the Jeffersons.
Speaker 3: No, No, not him. When the character the lead character
Speaker 3: on The Jeffersons, George, wasn't George's name originally Henry When
Speaker 3: he was with Archie Bronker the first first episode.
Speaker 1: I believe so, I believe it was yeah.
Speaker 3: And it was a different actor, and then they brought
Speaker 3: in nothing. I didn't like that actor, but I liked
Speaker 3: the actor that ended up playing him.
Speaker 1: His name was Sherman. His name was Shermy Hemsley. May
Speaker 1: he rest in peace. But John Amis was a great
Speaker 1: actor back to Chris Christophers and when he made the
Speaker 1: Stars Born, he was so hot. And from what the
Speaker 1: rumors out about Barbara, I'm sure Barbara Schwuss ain't got
Speaker 1: her a little taste because they say barbarady Man. They
Speaker 1: say Barbara did man baby.
Speaker 3: And I know, and who could blame her?
Speaker 1: Yeah? He was.
Speaker 3: He was quite pretty. You know who outside was the
Speaker 3: je Beverly Hills Taggart, No, that was the role John Ashton.
Speaker 3: John Ashton was he passed away to I mean, we
Speaker 3: had a lot of people passed away and then somebody
Speaker 3: that's in and around our age. I'm just gonna say
Speaker 3: that we can say we were younger. I can't say
Speaker 3: his name, but he was an NBA player.
Speaker 1: His name was the Kim Babe Mutumbo.
Speaker 3: Oh God, bless you, better you than me.
Speaker 1: Well, I remember him because he was so tall and
Speaker 1: so dark African basketball player. They said he was a
Speaker 1: fantastic humanitarian. He was fifty eight years old. He had
Speaker 1: brain cancer.
Speaker 3: It's not terrible. You probably probably did everything right eight
Speaker 3: all the right foods, got tons of exercise, and then
Speaker 3: when God calls you sometimes he just calls you.
Speaker 1: Listen to me, and listen to me carefully to my
Speaker 1: people out here, and laugh and learn laying that is
Speaker 1: a walk that we all will take. You cannot get
Speaker 1: around that one. So, in the words of Martin Luther
Speaker 1: King from his nineteen sixty three memoirs, once you accept
Speaker 1: that you are free, you gonna die. That's it. Ain't
Speaker 1: nowhere around that. You just got to live because you're
Speaker 1: going to die.
Speaker 3: Oh but who let's talk about all right? So we
Speaker 3: did the death Who had a birthday this year, this week,
Speaker 3: two days ago, oh, yesterday?
Speaker 1: Who had a birthday? Oh? Jimmy Carter? Yes, so many.
Speaker 1: But you know, I was so proud of Jimmy Carter
Speaker 1: for making it to one hundred, because so many big
Speaker 1: name hilarities made it to ninety nine.
Speaker 4: So close white white, Yeah, but he made it and
Speaker 4: like Ruth David made against her too, wasn't she like
Speaker 4: ninety nine.
Speaker 3: I think she was. Yeah, she was. She was with
Speaker 3: God bless her.
Speaker 1: She was.
Speaker 3: She was up there for sure. But his next big
Speaker 3: thing because he communicates, he's very slow, so you know,
Speaker 3: he's probably Biden times five hundred, but he speaks every day.
Speaker 1: By Bobby, I am not going to let you attack
Speaker 1: my president has a reference. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: He's slow and calculating, like I think, because.
Speaker 1: What happens, I don't try to clean don't try to
Speaker 1: clean it up now. JD. Vayans, Oh my god, white people,
Speaker 1: you white people, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: I love you.
Speaker 1: I love you.
Speaker 3: But I think what happens is when you become a
Speaker 3: more seasoned person and if you have a speech impediment.
Speaker 3: I think they're so on him for everything and being old.
Speaker 3: And you know, they don't talk about Donald Trump as
Speaker 3: much with all his gaffs and everything, but they certainly
Speaker 3: ride write port Joe like a horse. I think he's
Speaker 3: very measured in the way he speaks. So they say
Speaker 3: that Jimmy is the same. He had two goals. He
Speaker 3: wanted to make it till one hundred, and he wants
Speaker 3: his next goal is and then he's set to go.
Speaker 3: He wants to vote for Kamala Harris in November, so
Speaker 3: I hope to God that he gives him the next
Speaker 3: however many days next, thirty four.
Speaker 1: Thirty three days, well, listen, early voting has already started.
Speaker 1: He can put his ballet in now, just in case.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you what I'm so surprised about
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Carter. I love that he made it this far.
Speaker 1: But after Rosalind died, you know, because they had been
Speaker 1: together for such a long time, and usually when it's
Speaker 1: a couple like that that's been married a long time
Speaker 1: and one partner dies, it's usually less than a year
Speaker 1: that the other one follows. With Jimmy Carter is a trooper,
Speaker 1: and he said, I ain't going nowhere. He said, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get this vote in. I love the determination him
Speaker 1: and what was the other one named Magul? I learned
Speaker 1: the determination of we're gonna win this. But the October
Speaker 1: fall out has hit, and we're going to get to
Speaker 1: the October fall because if y'all watching the news in
Speaker 1: real time, oh, the ship didn't hit the thing. And
Speaker 1: let's me just say it out loud.
Speaker 3: It is thirty three days till election. So Jimmy has
Speaker 3: to if you want to. I kind of imagine the
Speaker 3: Secret Service would even let him go in person, but
Speaker 3: he just has to hang on till then. I saw
Speaker 3: this week, just speaking if we clean up some election stuff,
Speaker 3: I saw that The New York Times ABC News reported
Speaker 3: that The New York Times is actually supporting Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3: So that was a little bit interesting to me, you know,
Speaker 3: thumbs up for that. We will get to the election,
Speaker 3: which I got to say, I was pleasantly surprised in
Speaker 3: a lot of ways, which we'll talk about that in
Speaker 3: a couple of seconds, but we might as well get
Speaker 3: to You've been saying it, You've been saying it for
Speaker 3: a year that something always happens in October that sway people.
Speaker 3: As far as the boat we had Cally doing putting
Speaker 3: in those that complaint about the emails back in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 3: not that anybody caused COVID, but COVID came out like
Speaker 3: that was a whole big mess that had be at
Speaker 3: least cleaned up. There were other things that were going
Speaker 3: on that were that were more prevalent, And then I'd
Speaker 3: say this this strike, wouldn't you I think this is
Speaker 3: the mess, because that could totally f with the the economy. Well, no,
Speaker 3: it knows better than you what the what you report's
Speaker 3: going to look like.
Speaker 1: With the long shoreman, Yes, the long shoreman went on
Speaker 1: strike and it just happened yesterday. And it's so crazy
Speaker 1: because this is only day two. And I am an
Speaker 1: avid costco shopper. I love a Rearbi steak and I
Speaker 1: usually buy four at like fifty bucks. I went today,
Speaker 1: just today, and it was eighty four dollars. So the
Speaker 1: price gaalaging has already started. Bobby. I mean my word
Speaker 1: to the wise of anybody, if you had not stocked up,
Speaker 1: if you have the or the funds to go and
Speaker 1: stock up, I asked that you do it as sooner
Speaker 1: than later because this is only day two. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine what's going to be going to be like come
Speaker 1: day seven, if they're still on strike, it's going to
Speaker 1: be astro and prices of food and stuff it's already high.
Speaker 1: But this is going and mind you, this is not
Speaker 1: on Biden's watch. The food. Prices of food came in
Speaker 1: because of the economy that Donald Trump left him, but
Speaker 1: it's still but it's still under Biden's rule right now.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't think Biden for this.
Speaker 3: No, people keep talking about that with the economy in inflation,
Speaker 3: and nobody mentioned. It's like everybody has forgotten that in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty we had the pandemic which left everything up.
Speaker 3: I remember you did a coffee time. I don't know
Speaker 3: if you were walking the dogs. I don't know what
Speaker 3: you were doing. Maybe maybe it was just a call
Speaker 3: to me. I feel like you showed it to everybody
Speaker 3: and you went down and you flipped the camera and
Speaker 3: they they were stacked twelve deep, like a twelve layer
Speaker 3: cake out there in the water. All I could all
Speaker 3: I could think of the time was holy smokes, what
Speaker 3: is the oil and stuff in.
Speaker 1: Your bay going to be?
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, waiting to be unloaded because we couldn't get
Speaker 3: anybody to get in to unload these ships. And President
Speaker 3: Biden put a mandatory jack up on you know, he
Speaker 3: gave some sort of funding to jack up what they'd
Speaker 3: be earning to get the ships undone. We don't need that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that, Bobby and we had our points.
Speaker 1: They were they would lined up like a damn freeway
Speaker 1: on a Friday in the rainstorm during rush hour and
Speaker 1: it was just it was just the truth. Loads and
Speaker 1: loads and loads and loads of them. Uh, those long
Speaker 1: and shortmen make decent money, They make really good money now.
Speaker 1: But whatever they want, I hope that they come to
Speaker 1: a happy medium, because supply and demand is real in
Speaker 1: this country, and if we don't have it, they're going
Speaker 1: to price gall just unbelievably, and people are already suffering
Speaker 1: hard in this country. The timing of this is very,
Speaker 1: very bad because it looks like it's going to fall
Speaker 1: on Biden's lap. But if your mind is made up
Speaker 1: about who you're deciding to vote for, then your mind
Speaker 1: is already made up. This is only October second, hear me,
Speaker 1: we got twenty nine more days. Trust me. Lots and
Speaker 1: lots more will happen between now and the next twenty
Speaker 1: nine days to make you, guys make a different decision
Speaker 1: on how you want to vote. But hear me. If
Speaker 1: you're watching the news today, it just came out that
Speaker 1: Trump had his hand in the cookie job. He caught
Speaker 1: him cheating, he had a hand in the twenty sixteen elections,
Speaker 1: the cheating scans. It's just a mess all over. But
Speaker 1: we got twenty nine days and you have to make
Speaker 1: a decision. Now, early voting has started. I employ you
Speaker 1: to vote now. I'm telling you right now, don't let
Speaker 1: nobody write on your ballot. I'm not even a favorite
Speaker 1: of mailing ballots at the moment, because the Joy was
Speaker 1: appointed on the Trump's watch and the Joy is still
Speaker 1: the postmaster General. And I'm not saying that you should
Speaker 1: be leary of it, but you should be cautious of
Speaker 1: it because your vote could come up missing. Also, I
Speaker 1: just found out that they have people at the polling
Speaker 1: stations outside with bags and say, oh, here, you can
Speaker 1: just give it to us and we'll turn it in.
Speaker 1: Those people are doing now on you. You take your
Speaker 1: ballot in and you drop it in the ballot box.
Speaker 1: You do not hand it off to somebody else. They
Speaker 1: may look like they're an official person for the ballot,
Speaker 1: for working for the polls, but they are not. The
Speaker 1: cheat is on and we got to beat the cheat.
Speaker 1: We have to beat the cheat. That's name of the episode.
Speaker 1: We have to beat the cheat. Put right there down, Bobby.
Speaker 1: So we have to beat the cheat. Because here we
Speaker 1: are right now, and we are down to the wire.
Speaker 1: And if you can see that the cars are stacked
Speaker 1: up against us, on this election. So what we have
Speaker 1: to do is be diligent and be very very very
Speaker 1: precautious on how we do this. Get your tails to
Speaker 1: the polls, make sure that you vote, because we are
Speaker 1: at a crisis. Okay, what are we going to talk about, Bobby,
Speaker 1: Because I'm on one of my rampages.
Speaker 3: That's it. The only thing that I want to add
Speaker 3: to that is because I had looked in research, because
Speaker 3: you had mentioned during one of your coffee times that
Speaker 3: Harris was off of the off of the ballots in
Speaker 3: some areas, and they said, you can write it in.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. We've discussed this before. If you're
Speaker 3: writing in her name, please do not write outside of
Speaker 3: the little box that allows you to write it in.
Speaker 3: Don't put any marks on any of the outside areas
Speaker 3: because it will invalidate it. But you can if you
Speaker 3: get to the polls and some weirdo wacko thing has happened,
Speaker 3: you can put her name. You can write her name in.
Speaker 3: Just make sure you're handing handing it and putting it
Speaker 3: into the machine. Nobody else is touching it. And if
Speaker 3: you somehow because those little felt pens can get dirty,
Speaker 3: get another ballot. If you have to, but don't pass
Speaker 3: in a ballot that has any marks.
Speaker 1: That means play. Pay attention to the particulars because they
Speaker 1: are being very particular.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the what you had just mentioned that that
Speaker 3: Jack Smith case has has it's really being looked at.
Speaker 3: That he has restructured it. I'm hoping that that Federal
Speaker 3: drudge released some of the some of the narrative and
Speaker 3: we're not going to see anything till after the election.
Speaker 3: And if it's after the election and Trump gets in,
Speaker 3: we'll never see anything. That will be the end of it.
Speaker 1: But pay attention because remember the Supreme Court that he
Speaker 1: stacked with three of his conservative judges have already ruled
Speaker 1: that he will get full immunity. So now the whole
Speaker 1: Supreme Court says that a president gets full immunity. So
Speaker 1: here we are. We are you. If you guys are
Speaker 1: not paying attention to this, your eyes should be wide open,
Speaker 1: but your ears should be even bigger than your eyes
Speaker 1: because you see what's happening. Come on, Bobby, where we going?
Speaker 3: So the next thing, Oh, I want to speak about
Speaker 3: is I want our prayers to go out to the
Speaker 3: people that have been affected by the lean That's just
Speaker 3: that's some scary and sad stuff. We've had so many deaths.
Speaker 3: I think they had it. I think it was ABC
Speaker 3: that said this afternoon, we have one hundred and sixty
Speaker 3: people that have passed. But that number is it's up
Speaker 3: and down. It's been moving for the past few days.
Speaker 3: I think they're going to find more people. There were
Speaker 3: a thousand people that weren't uncalled for that drastically got
Speaker 3: reduced today is some sell service. A million people are
Speaker 3: still without service, electricity or phones, but other people have
Speaker 3: had it. And I think as service starts to get
Speaker 3: starts to get restored, that you know some of those
Speaker 3: people will be identified. But what a mess Biden was
Speaker 3: supposed to was it today or tomorrow? He's going to
Speaker 3: do a drive over. Trump was very snippy and lying
Speaker 3: up a storm about saying that Taris and Biden. Biden
Speaker 3: hasn't even bothered with them. And I will say God
Speaker 3: blessed the governor of New York and not New York,
Speaker 3: in North Carolina, Georgia, and I think Tennessee came out
Speaker 3: and said no, we were like his first asson as
Speaker 3: he got restored. The President was there, Okay, what do
Speaker 3: you need? What can I do for you, How can
Speaker 3: I help? And right now they've asked them to stay home.
Speaker 3: They don't want them, they don't want them taking resources.
Speaker 1: So look Hurricane Helene. So many hurricanes are tragically happening
Speaker 1: all over and this is hurricane season, but actual towns
Speaker 1: were wiped out in North Carolina. Body, I'm talking about
Speaker 1: all your memory, everything gone forever. Staples that you knew,
Speaker 1: that you grew up with. These storms are crazy, and
Speaker 1: I do love that Biden was right on it, But
Speaker 1: I want you guys to remember something that first of all,
Speaker 1: if you live in a hurricane area, or if you
Speaker 1: live in a tornado area flood area, the insurance right
Speaker 1: now is exceptionally high, even if you can get it,
Speaker 1: because a lot of places are not offering you insurance. Also,
Speaker 1: within the pages of Project twenty twenty five, FEMA will
Speaker 1: go away. So if you are depending on FEMA to
Speaker 1: help you to restore, rebuild, replenish, if we lose this
Speaker 1: selection to Donald Trump and the Project twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: you won't get any help from the government from FAMA
Speaker 1: because that is a government a government program, and it
Speaker 1: will go away. There are so many things in the
Speaker 1: pages and I'm telling you, if you take your time
Speaker 1: to read them now, eight hundred and twenty two pages
Speaker 1: and nine hundred pages, you are in there somewhere somewhere,
Speaker 1: those the pages will affect you. So prayers to that.
Speaker 3: Let's government right, so we have to not just Trump.
Speaker 3: It would have been with any any GOP that they
Speaker 3: were pushing for it. He just they happened to be
Speaker 3: his people who wrote it. But it's less government, so
Speaker 3: that's what they're looking for.
Speaker 1: I will I.
Speaker 3: President Biden came out in a press conference and he
Speaker 3: said two things. I loved it. He was leaving and
Speaker 3: the media was being a little harsh with him and
Speaker 3: saying that he didn't do anything. Well, First, we want
Speaker 3: to make sure that people are aware. Before the storm hit,
Speaker 3: he had already released told told everybody that FEMA would
Speaker 3: be put in place, and he was releasing any funds.
Speaker 3: He turned around and he said, I am I'm on
Speaker 3: the phone. He's on the phone two and three hours.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they want him to do. As said,
Speaker 3: the States don't want him there because for the motor
Speaker 3: kaids and everything else that would have to be down there,
Speaker 3: they take resources. But guests who went down anyway, even
Speaker 3: though they were asked not to fancy pants and took
Speaker 3: the resources, you know, and was speaking out against Biden.
Speaker 3: Biden was furious over and he said, listen, I don't
Speaker 3: want the citizens to think that they're not going to
Speaker 3: get help right now. They feel desperate, you know, and
Speaker 3: they think they need to know and all communication is down.
Speaker 3: When they get communication, they need to know help us coming.
Speaker 3: We're going to be there. So I got to handle
Speaker 3: the beautifully.
Speaker 1: Let me cut you off a quick because Bobby could
Speaker 1: out absolutely Helen point not at all. You know, you're
Speaker 1: not you always do it anyway. So and Hurricane Helene
Speaker 1: is being backed there by another hurricane that's on this
Speaker 1: way that way again, so they have another hurricane that's
Speaker 1: coming now. It's just it's just saying, and you know,
Speaker 1: I used to think that why don't these people who
Speaker 1: live there if they know hurricanes, because we have to
Speaker 1: thrive as a country. It's just it's just a give
Speaker 1: and take situation with the world. But it's a lot
Speaker 1: of looting going on down there from what I'm seeing
Speaker 1: on the news of ABC. It's so many others. And
Speaker 1: you know, when they had Hurricane Katrina, not only was
Speaker 1: there looting, but people would be a sexually molested. It
Speaker 1: was so with all of that, we see the flooding,
Speaker 1: We hear the horrificness of people lose their homes. But
Speaker 1: what you don't see is that people are on the ground.
Speaker 1: So many horrific things happen because you've lost everything. People
Speaker 1: are desperate for water, for gas, so you'll do anything,
Speaker 1: Like you said, Bobby, people are in a moment of desperation.
Speaker 1: You'll do anything to salvage, to save your families, to
Speaker 1: get your family and your pets, to say, and if
Speaker 1: a lot of people die, sometimes you don't even have
Speaker 1: a chance to get their pets. So a lot of
Speaker 1: petty in those floods. It is just things that we
Speaker 1: don't see, and you know, people don't talk about, but
Speaker 1: it's very scary. Prayer to those people down there, and
Speaker 1: I want to just send it, you know, I never
Speaker 1: like to talk about wars, but I do want to
Speaker 1: send a special prayer because Iran has already released missiles
Speaker 1: to Israel. Was it to whether they send.
Speaker 3: Lebanon and Israel. We're both we're both being hit. I
Speaker 3: think I think the Americans helped in bringing the ones
Speaker 3: down for Israel, but I don't believe. I think that
Speaker 3: Lebanon was hit right, and that's hard well.
Speaker 1: And thank God that those were not nuclear weapons, because
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this is all we're talking about, is
Speaker 1: these nuclears. You again, the word nuclear nuclear is scary.
Speaker 1: But if one country deploys nuclears, everybody has to deploy
Speaker 1: nuclears because it would be the endbulars civilization as oh.
Speaker 1: I can't say the word. It would be the end
Speaker 1: of civilization as we know it. And I haven't either
Speaker 1: had it edible, I could say it work, No, it's.
Speaker 3: No, there is. We are on a three sided, a
Speaker 3: three front, on the edge. And I say we because
Speaker 3: Aeron wants Ustad too, not just the Israelis. And so
Speaker 3: there there are eyes and ears over in the Middle East.
Speaker 3: So we're we're on the edge. We're on the edge.
Speaker 3: It's it's really scary. So you've got to we hate,
Speaker 3: we hate the war, but you've got to pay attention
Speaker 3: because it's going to affect It's gonna affect everything. And
Speaker 3: the one thing we're going to say yeah to our
Speaker 3: Jewish friends is happy New Year, Happy Russia.
Speaker 1: Shana, and and with these wars it affects everybody's economy.
Speaker 1: So while y'all complaining and saying that it's Biden, Biden
Speaker 1: did not kick off these wars, but it will trickle
Speaker 1: the trickle down effect and the domino effect will affect
Speaker 1: our country. Our prices are already exceedingly high. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you all to brace yourselves for the rest of the
Speaker 1: year because the rest of this year will be tight
Speaker 1: and if your money is not flowing at us, I'm
Speaker 1: asking you all to hold a penny, hide a penny,
Speaker 1: save a penny, and hoarder. This is the time to
Speaker 1: be a hoarder, to get what you need and stack
Speaker 1: up on it and be very, very frugal with what
Speaker 1: you want to share, because it will get I'm afraid
Speaker 1: that it might get a little scarier before it gets better.
Speaker 1: And that does not depend on Democrat, Republican or independence.
Speaker 1: That is no matter who wins, because the rest of
Speaker 1: the world is in turmoil and it will affect us period.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we were very lucky. Our economy right
Speaker 3: now is actually the strongest in the world. We bounced
Speaker 3: back from the pandemic much quicker than other areas have. So,
Speaker 3: but with the wars, it's going to start up again.
Speaker 3: There's literally no way that it couldn't. So I think
Speaker 3: you're exactly right. And Christmas is coming, and we love Christmas,
Speaker 3: but it doesn't have to be humongous to share. People
Speaker 3: save a little money hid in your jar, in your backyard,
Speaker 3: wherever you're bury it.
Speaker 1: I'm letting y'all know. In the gate, I'm putting up
Speaker 1: a chart Brown Christmas Street. It is gonna have four
Speaker 1: spokes and one branch there. It will one bowl. It
Speaker 1: will be a Charlie Brown Christmas over here. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: my tree will be damn near naked. I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get a treat as I'm gonna get a treat
Speaker 1: that's been on those zim pics. I ain't gonna even front.
Speaker 3: I don't hey, hey, hey, send it over here. But no, Yeah,
Speaker 3: but that's it. You've got decorations and stuff that already exists.
Speaker 3: Celebrate with what you have. You don't necessarily have to
Speaker 3: go out and get everything brand new this year. Just
Speaker 3: just be prepared. You know, you got to back in
Speaker 3: the when there was World War Two. That's when people
Speaker 3: actually save stuff.
Speaker 1: They buried it.
Speaker 3: They live so frugally, and we don't we tend to
Speaker 3: live alone on credit? Et cetera, et cetera, try not to.
Speaker 1: Well, please, I'll think about credit. The whole country is
Speaker 1: everybody's credit card is a push, right.
Speaker 3: Even I don't even Yeah, yike, but no, that was great.
Speaker 3: Eric Adams, we kind of know we don't really have
Speaker 3: to talk much about that.
Speaker 1: I definitely, I definitely, I definitely want to talk about
Speaker 1: Mayor Eric Adams. So Mary Adams, who I just met recently,
Speaker 1: has been indicted on racketeering and so many other charges,
Speaker 1: but he was a very pleasant man to me. I
Speaker 1: did love the fact that he turned himself in and
Speaker 1: he played not guilty. Uh, we will see what happens
Speaker 1: with that and more. Moreph chargers are coming up in
Speaker 1: the whole Diddy scandal, and I'm telling you they're coming
Speaker 1: out the woolwork like roaches when you turn the kitchen
Speaker 1: light on the middle of the night. Good god, they.
Speaker 3: Really are what did they have? A hundred? They said
Speaker 3: that when that's what we're hearing, we're not actually seeing
Speaker 3: it yet. So this is just like what CNN and all.
Speaker 1: Of the it's a legend one hundred plus. I'm like,
Speaker 1: well maybe, so that's what all the thousand bottles of
Speaker 1: baby or was being used for.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of people, right, I'm surprised this is
Speaker 3: peepe didn't fall off, to the love of God. But yeah,
Speaker 3: well that hundred men and women. It's not even one
Speaker 3: or the other. It's there, it's he's he's bipartisan.
Speaker 5: Well look at least it's not. At least it's not
Speaker 5: there eating the dogs. And so Bobby Clifford.
Speaker 1: Today is Wednesday, October the second, and used today on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: I told the first we had a low found showdown
Speaker 1: or throwdoun baby between the vice presidential candidates both running
Speaker 1: for buying for the White House, between JD. Vance and
Speaker 1: Tim Walls. And I watched the debate. I'm going to
Speaker 1: be very honest, I did not watch the entire debate.
Speaker 1: Twenty minutes in. I got bored with it. But what
Speaker 1: I can respect about both candidates is that they were
Speaker 1: very grown. They were very respectful towards each other. It
Speaker 1: was not a name calling, hair pulling, this that and
Speaker 1: the third. They were really trying to be respectful even
Speaker 1: though they had different points, and very valid different points.
Speaker 1: I thought I command both of them. I'm not a
Speaker 1: big fan of JD. Walls. I mean JD. Vance's political platform,
Speaker 1: what the things that he says. But I thought he
Speaker 1: was very respectful towards him. Walls. I thought he was
Speaker 1: for the presidential office of the vice president of the
Speaker 1: United States, and y'all'm not gonna like me for this one.
Speaker 1: I think he's a good look at me, I do him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I agree with you. I have to say,
Speaker 3: going into this, I was thinking I hate his guts.
Speaker 3: I didn't hate his guts. I thought they they came
Speaker 3: out and they shook I also liked at the end
Speaker 3: and we're going to talk about the middle, I'm not
Speaker 3: doing away with that. It just this thought popped in
Speaker 3: my head and I don't want to lose it. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you know, menopausal. I liked that they both brought their
Speaker 3: wife's out and they all shook hands. They each one
Speaker 3: of the candidates introduced their wife and then they all
Speaker 3: wanted It was so grown, it was civil, it was refreshing.
Speaker 3: I loved it that way, and I did listen to it.
Speaker 3: I had listened to it in pieces because I got
Speaker 3: a lot of family wives going on. So it was off,
Speaker 3: it was on, it was off.
Speaker 1: It was on that that was a perfect analogy, Bobby.
Speaker 1: It was refreshing from what we have been seeing from
Speaker 1: the from the other candidates, going on from and for
Speaker 1: four years now. It was refreshing to see two American
Speaker 1: men on different sides of the party, but respectful enough
Speaker 1: to have enough respect to show the rest of our
Speaker 1: country that we might not agree on the same things,
Speaker 1: but we don't have to be ratchet and raggedy and ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So I respect that, I admired that, I appreciate that
Speaker 1: my mind is made up. It would had I watched
Speaker 1: the debate or not. My mind is made up, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I can know them now. Yeah, And I'm voting
Speaker 1: Harris Walls because my mind is made up. It wouldn't
Speaker 1: matter if Tim Walls would have babbled slabbed on itself,
Speaker 1: maybe even to the dump. It would not have mattered
Speaker 1: to me because he still is going to get my
Speaker 1: vote because I'm voting against Project twenty twenty five, not
Speaker 1: against Republicans. I know some great Republicans, but I'm pretty
Speaker 1: good I'm voting against Project twenty twenty five, which means
Speaker 1: I have to vote for Harris and Walls, which which
Speaker 1: I'm very comfortable with. But it was a good It
Speaker 1: was a good It was not only did I think
Speaker 1: it was just not the greatest debate, but because we
Speaker 1: have been living in chaos and confusion with the debates
Speaker 1: for the last ten years, it made it a good debate.
Speaker 1: To me, I was like, oh my god, this is
Speaker 1: a good debate because they're not calling each other names,
Speaker 1: they're not dragging each other's family, they're not talking about
Speaker 1: each other's children. They are actually talking about positive Now,
Speaker 1: do I think that either one of them both missed
Speaker 1: a lot of them the answer to.
Speaker 3: Some questions, No, that's.
Speaker 1: More so vanced than walls. No. True, I do like
Speaker 1: a direct answer, but I understand how this game is
Speaker 1: played in politics at this age, so I do understand that.
Speaker 1: But I do like a direct answer when you ask
Speaker 1: me a question.
Speaker 3: I think we all do. How about that. This is
Speaker 3: what I can tell you me as a viewer. If
Speaker 3: the moderator asks a specific question for anybody who's listening,
Speaker 3: I want you to answer it. I don't want to
Speaker 3: hear that this is what you did in the past.
Speaker 3: I like all that. That's nice. I got to know
Speaker 3: them both, but I want to have answer the question
Speaker 3: so the first to to evade it definitely was Tim Walls.
Speaker 3: You know, he avoided what at the beginning, he handled
Speaker 3: the Tanneman's square correctly. He admitted that sometimes he's a
Speaker 3: knucklehead and miss he misspeaks. I thought he made himself
Speaker 3: more human. Although I liked Vance, I didn't think, again,
Speaker 3: this is Bobby Clifford opinion. I think the Advance was smoother,
Speaker 3: less nervous. Tim Wallas was nervous, but he came out
Speaker 3: when she asked him to be the candidate. I guess
Speaker 3: one of the first things he said is a malasi
Speaker 3: debater always happened. So he was nervous, and I think
Speaker 3: he felt like he had more to lose. But he
Speaker 3: warmed up and got there. About twenty minutes in all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, he came into his own because they
Speaker 3: were discussing reproductive rights, they started to discuss democracy. Vance
Speaker 3: evaded the question when when Tim asked him directly, who
Speaker 3: wants the election? And he wouldn't answer, and he said, dad,
Speaker 3: answer the ebating of the answer is that's the answer.
Speaker 3: And I thought, God, JD. Vance, You've sold your soul
Speaker 3: to the devil. Because he couldn't answer correctly because he
Speaker 3: would have been off the ticket probably, but he really
Speaker 3: had him on the reproductive rights Walls. So I can't
Speaker 3: tell you who I thought was winner the winner. I
Speaker 3: really thought it was kind of a wash in my opinion.
Speaker 3: But everybody said the way that he spoke. Vance a
Speaker 3: lot of people are saying that he won. But if
Speaker 3: he did by a band nose hair.
Speaker 1: And this is what we have to stop doing. We
Speaker 1: have to stop looking at a ninety minute debate to
Speaker 1: make the decision who runs our damn country. Anybody can
Speaker 1: be good for one night, but who's going to be
Speaker 1: good for the next three hundred and sixty five days
Speaker 1: times four? That is what you have to look at,
Speaker 1: not a ninety minute debate. I thought that Wall I
Speaker 1: thought that Vance was a great better speaker. He was
Speaker 1: smooth with it, you know, but he was a liar.
Speaker 1: He obeyed like you said, don't be smooth with me
Speaker 1: and don't give me the truth. I don't care how
Speaker 1: smooth the devil dog smooth and to mean Julys. But
Speaker 1: and he went to you know, Ivy League school, so
Speaker 1: he was trained to do all of that, so he
Speaker 1: had all that. What I respect about Walls is that
Speaker 1: the imperfections shows you that he is a human, that
Speaker 1: he is an American, because we are all imperfect. Nobody
Speaker 1: is perfect. We all misspeaking. Or I call my dog
Speaker 1: named one of my kids, I call my kids the
Speaker 1: name want a dog, you know, and it's just a misspoke.
Speaker 1: That don't mean that I mean any malicious harm. So
Speaker 1: I love that Walls spoke wrong and then turned right
Speaker 1: around and cleaned it up because he was like, oh no,
Speaker 1: it wasn't this month. There was this month. But to me,
Speaker 1: Bobby cliff in my opinion on Laugh and Learn is
Speaker 1: that the Democrats who's supposed to supposedly support Harrison Walls
Speaker 1: seemed to be the first one to point out the
Speaker 1: flaws for our own candidate. Why they Why why do
Speaker 1: we need enemies to point us out? If we're going
Speaker 1: to point ourselves out, this is why we are in
Speaker 1: this predicament that we are in.
Speaker 3: And now he looked at Eric Adams, same thing, Eric Adams, get.
Speaker 1: Out, Yeah, he said the wrong he said the wrong thing,
Speaker 1: but he fixed it. Stop attacking our party because he's human,
Speaker 1: Walls made, He's a human being. We sometimes say the
Speaker 1: wrong thing at the wrong time, But I mean I mean,
Speaker 1: and he realized that. He's like, oh my god, So
Speaker 1: it was this month. So it wasn't like he told
Speaker 1: her lie. He just didn't say it correctly, but he did.
Speaker 1: He fix it now. But the other one lied in
Speaker 1: your face. And you know people love to holler, oh,
Speaker 1: you playing in my face. You planning in my face.
Speaker 1: They've been playing in our face for about two years.
Speaker 1: And guess what if we don't win this election, they're
Speaker 1: gonna plan in our face constantly.
Speaker 3: No, and I understood with the tannem and square. So
Speaker 3: it happened in May, and he went in to August.
Speaker 3: He wasn't saying he was there when the poor kid,
Speaker 3: you know what had happened. He was saying the environment.
Speaker 3: I was over there when people were nervous, when it
Speaker 3: was struggling what it was. So I got what he
Speaker 3: was saying. Sometimes they think we're also too literal. It
Speaker 3: was the same thing here. He made a mistake when
Speaker 3: he said, idf we went through our es. He meant fertility,
Speaker 3: and he got you know, I think that's someone that's
Speaker 3: m a l E. He just didn't know the right
Speaker 3: term to use. But he admits when he's wrong, and
Speaker 3: I like that. I think that's the real measure of
Speaker 3: a man and a grown up when you can say
Speaker 3: I've done it wrong, and this is what I want
Speaker 3: to do. And I thought he certainly did that. As
Speaker 3: I said, I sort of felt like it was a wash.
Speaker 3: One had the smoothness, but the other had the honesty.
Speaker 3: But they both evaded some questions, and I'd like to
Speaker 3: see them actually answer them. Well, pocass On Walls, Yeah.
Speaker 1: My mind is already made up, so it wouldn't matter
Speaker 1: what they said, because I know who I'm voting for,
Speaker 1: because I'm confident in and we have twenty nine more
Speaker 1: days for you guys to see that. A whole lot
Speaker 1: more is going to unfold with this election. So I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now, stay diligent, stay focused, don't get
Speaker 1: side tracked by the BS, because the BS ain't even
Speaker 1: got started yet. Y'all have no idea, and I don't
Speaker 1: know what's coming, but I know it's going to be
Speaker 1: a lot of hostility and a lot of foolishness that's
Speaker 1: going to happen in the next twenty nine days because
Speaker 1: what they want is this is Trump back in the
Speaker 1: White House, and what we don't want is Trump back
Speaker 1: in the White House. So there you go, right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think that's true. Pay attention and vote
Speaker 3: and again go to your vote dot org. Make sure
Speaker 3: that nothing happened in the past couple of weeks as
Speaker 3: we discussed it. Take a friend arranging again. Only what
Speaker 3: we've just down to thirty three days or something, you know,
Speaker 3: make a plan. We're down to the time that you
Speaker 3: can call Grammy until you're picking her up at two.
Speaker 1: Oh. You had to call that eleven because sometimes Grandma
Speaker 1: can be a little bit slow. Good god, geez, she can.
Speaker 3: She can't. But I think that's all we have. I
Speaker 3: don't think we have this worth talking about.
Speaker 1: And that is enough. And I want you guys to
Speaker 1: make sure, like Bobby said, that you are registered at
Speaker 1: vote dot org. Make sure that you are legal, make
Speaker 1: sure that all your ducts are in the row, because
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the cheat is on. The cheat is on,
Speaker 1: and we have to make sure that we not meet
Speaker 1: them where they at, but beat them at their own game.
Speaker 1: So mail in ballast, I'm lear, but that's just my opinion.
Speaker 1: I mean, some people, I know that's the only convenient
Speaker 1: for you. But early voting is already has started in
Speaker 1: a lot of states. So if you can early vote,
Speaker 1: early vote, make sure. I think registration is the always win, Bobby,
Speaker 1: the seventh, it is the last day.
Speaker 6: I believe so well. It depends on your state. I
Speaker 6: think so yes. So make sure you, guys, are a
Speaker 6: legal check. Nobody can write on your ballot. If the
Speaker 6: name is not on the ballot, you can write in
Speaker 6: a box, but you have to write very small to
Speaker 6: make sure that it gets it fits in that box.
Speaker 6: And I know some of y'all, right, b I write big,
Speaker 6: So you're going to have to write small to make
Speaker 6: sure that everything is legal. Because an invalid ballot does
Speaker 6: you no good. An invalid ballot does us no good,
Speaker 6: and not voting also does us absolutely no good. Because
Speaker 6: and we're not trying to tell you what to do.
Speaker 6: We're just sharing to help you to make sure that
Speaker 6: you make the right decision for you in this country,
Speaker 6: not for me, not for Bobby, but for yourself, your decision,
Speaker 6: your choice. Because here at laughing alone, we're not trying
Speaker 6: to get you to ain't your mind. We're only trying
Speaker 6: to get you to use your mind.
Speaker 3: Because why Bobby, Because a mind and a vote are
Speaker 3: a terrible thing to.
Speaker 1: Waste, especially a vote, and if you don't vote right,
Speaker 1: I'm coming to your house. But oh my god, you
Speaker 1: will never be able.
Speaker 3: To say that you might have some of the stuff
Speaker 3: that gets shown on Loss and Learn they send stop
Speaker 3: sending born.
Speaker 1: You may never be able to live that down with
Speaker 1: your neighbors. Good God, explain me naked to your neighbors.
