Speaker 3: great time. I want you guys to watch the episode
Speaker 3: and leave a comment. We cut up. Now we were
Speaker 3: playing space. If you're a space player, that is the
Speaker 3: game to watch because and he was so you know
Speaker 3: what I loved about Big Bobby. He was so cool.
Speaker 3: Some of the topics were a little cringey, but he
Speaker 3: was so fun and then he made it light and
Speaker 3: he laughed and we laughed, and that is what it's
Speaker 3: all about. So y'all make sure y'all watch.
Speaker 2: I can tell I learned a little something with the
Speaker 2: windmail card. That the questions on the cards were a
Speaker 2: little they were a little they were a little lot
Speaker 2: for this this mission position, lady. But I learned a
Speaker 2: little something. I learnarned a little them. But it was fine. Actually,
Speaker 2: if you guys are looking for a laugh. I loved Dot.
Speaker 2: I thought she had a phenomenous, phenomenal personality, just as
Speaker 2: big as everybody else there. She made me laugh. Her
Speaker 2: bangs God blessed, like she have their own zip code.
Speaker 2: I love them. And I love that she was so
Speaker 2: comfortable and that you all, all four of you, You
Speaker 2: would never guess that was like your first time meeting.
Speaker 2: You would think you were all old pals. So you
Speaker 2: had a real great chemistry for you.
Speaker 3: That is my super power, Bobby. My gift is that
Speaker 3: I can make you laugh. My super power is that
Speaker 3: make you very comfortable that well, you know.
Speaker 2: I think we have that in common. My mother always says,
Speaker 2: you've never met someone that's not a friend, You've never
Speaker 2: met a stranger, and so yeah, I think that's important
Speaker 2: to be able to do to people sometimes. So when
Speaker 2: I get looking to get out of a store or
Speaker 2: something quickly and someone's telling me their whole life history,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I've got a big like a beacon on
Speaker 2: my head for them.
Speaker 3: No, Bobby, No, you mean somebody talks more than you know.
Speaker 3: Sometimes sometimes we're not gonna have a long episode because
Speaker 3: I really am really mustering through this because my chest
Speaker 3: is every time my coffee just saves to punch me
Speaker 3: hurt further further. So I want to talk first. I
Speaker 3: want to start. I know, boy got I know you
Speaker 3: got to laugh. I just want to give a shout
Speaker 3: out to the Amazon employees that are on strike, I
Speaker 3: know days for the holiday. They are saying that they
Speaker 3: are overworked big time. Not underpaid, because I think Amazon
Speaker 3: pays a fair wage, but they are working the hell
Speaker 3: out of them, so all.
Speaker 2: The better conditions, I think is what they want. They're
Speaker 2: complaining about the facilities, what I'm disappointed about from the
Speaker 2: little that I've read, is like CNM was reporting and
Speaker 2: basically it's less than seven percent, I mean one percent
Speaker 2: seven thousand workers. They won't be anything late. Everything will
Speaker 2: keep going. They're moving it along. And I'm thinking, oh,
Speaker 2: that's not what the response I want to have. I
Speaker 2: want to have. You'll go to the negotiating table, try
Speaker 2: to get these people fix up your facilities or rent
Speaker 2: new facilities or whatever. I was a little I was
Speaker 2: a little disappointed with that one.
Speaker 3: Well, well, let me tell you the flip side of that.
Speaker 3: Just playing Devil's advocate while they doing all this, I
Speaker 3: understand because don't overwork. We have me working in back editions.
Speaker 3: But they know that Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are
Speaker 3: working hand in hand, and Elon Mussell wants to replace
Speaker 3: so many employees with machines. So machines don't take bathroom breaks,
Speaker 3: they don't take lunch breaks, they don't care about the
Speaker 3: facility because all they're abilt to do is work, work, work, work, work.
Speaker 2: I just want to until they break.
Speaker 3: Down, until they break down, and then so I has
Speaker 3: to fix them. And again, if you are a worker
Speaker 3: at Amazon and they try to replace you in a machine,
Speaker 3: and you are a good American, offer that machine a
Speaker 3: cup of salt water. You will get your hours back.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. Okay, where we go on ships.
Speaker 2: So the next thing that we had is sort of
Speaker 2: a little early Christmas gift. Although I don't understand. I
Speaker 2: keep thinking you saying the overplay for the underplay there.
Speaker 2: The FXS Committee, the House FX Committee, is actually going
Speaker 2: to release the Gates investigation. I was kind of shocked.
Speaker 2: He doesn't seem to be bothered by it. He said
Speaker 2: that there's more if there's nothing illegal, but it's more
Speaker 2: embarrassing what's in there. And he was he partied too
Speaker 2: much in his twenties and thirties, and he's a totally
Speaker 2: different person. And if it is true, it's old stuff.
Speaker 2: Let's see what comes out. You know, well, maybe I'll go, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: But for what they're saying is in there, it doesn't
Speaker 2: sound like they're driving with what with what he's saying,
Speaker 2: some people are coming Matt Gates.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, they cannot. You cannot exchange that he
Speaker 3: allegedly had said with an underage ken it.
Speaker 2: Well that's let's so let's see what they're coming out
Speaker 2: for some of the goops. Some of the old staunchy
Speaker 2: ones are like, well, if that's the case, because he's
Speaker 2: no longer in. And this is the part that I'm
Speaker 2: struggling with. It is right, he is no longer in,
Speaker 2: but he is going for some sort of public job.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if that's why they're going to
Speaker 2: release it, but he wants all of the investigations on
Speaker 2: everybody released. And I'm like, okay, you know if that's
Speaker 2: but this guy's this guy's kind of got the biggest one.
Speaker 2: So we'll say, I will I'll be interested to see.
Speaker 2: I think it's supposed to be out not too long.
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I need them to pull it all out,
Speaker 3: and I need that not to go through because Matt
Speaker 3: Gates gives me mad man, not that it's not a
Speaker 3: whole lot of other ones. And speaking of mad men,
Speaker 3: I'm angry. I'm a mad man right now, and a
Speaker 3: mad woman that they want to remove. They are voted
Speaker 3: to remove Finnie Willis from the Trump case down in
Speaker 3: Georgia because she was having an affair with the coworker.
Speaker 3: He had an affair, well, he was the president with
Speaker 3: the prostitute but he still gets to do the job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're saying, I don't know what it has to
Speaker 2: do with they're definitely saying the judge said that they're
Speaker 2: not and to let her go forward. But remember, any
Speaker 2: of any and all of his cases have to go
Speaker 2: under the new Supreme Court rules that came out last year.
Speaker 2: And I don't have a lot of information on that
Speaker 2: one other than they're not letting her move forward. And
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if it's because it falls within the parameters
Speaker 2: of what the Supreme Court came out with. But I'm
Speaker 2: you know, I feel you've already know how I feel
Speaker 2: about this. I don't think it's going to go anywhere anyway,
Speaker 2: any of these cases. So what I this is the
Speaker 2: case I would have liked to have heard first, this
Speaker 2: one in the January sixth. Those are the only two.
Speaker 2: I didn't care about the hutch money, I didn't care
Speaker 2: about the documents. As I said, I feel like he
Speaker 2: sort of manipulated that. But these are the ones had
Speaker 2: they come out sooner and quicker, these are the ones
Speaker 2: that had some meet to them. So it's unfortunate. So,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a little disappointed myself.
Speaker 3: I'm saying that a lot of people are calling from
Speaker 3: King jeffres to others are calling for the removal of
Speaker 3: the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, because there's the
Speaker 3: poser cibility that the country will have a shutdown tomorrow.
Speaker 3: But before shutdown, it's a partial ship down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they the House rejected today that Johnson slamb
Speaker 2: but they're what they're rejecting is he was trying to
Speaker 2: push Well. Trump wants the debt ceiling removed. That was
Speaker 2: the one thing that he wanted to put into place earlier,
Speaker 2: and now because he doesn't want to take responsibility for it,
Speaker 2: that he's not going to be able to meet it
Speaker 2: with all of these new tariffs and fees and bump up, up,
Speaker 2: up up, they're looking for it to be removed. And
Speaker 2: both the republic on the Republican side and obviously the
Speaker 2: Democrats said no, he would have had to come up
Speaker 2: with sixty percent. He couldn't come up with sixty percent. Supposedly,
Speaker 2: there's something up their sleeves for tomorrow, like you know,
Speaker 2: there's a there is maybe the plan C. We'll see
Speaker 2: what happens. I hope to God that we don't go
Speaker 2: into the new year, and with everybody on break and
Speaker 2: we have the system is shut.
Speaker 3: Down well with the terrorists things. Let me tell you
Speaker 3: something about it. I know that Trump said came out
Speaker 3: recently and said that he cannot guarantee that the price
Speaker 3: of food is not going to go up. I went
Speaker 3: to I went to the grocery store yesterday, Bobby, just yesterday,
Speaker 3: because I needed to get some stuff to fight this code.
Speaker 3: And I love eggs. I bought a dozen of eggs,
Speaker 3: not even extra large, just large eggs, cage free, which
Speaker 3: is what I like. Eight dollars.
Speaker 2: Eight dollars, Hey fortune, And I'm California, Like your gas
Speaker 2: is so much? My gas right now is two seventy
Speaker 2: What is yours?
Speaker 3: I use ninety one only in my jeep. It's four
Speaker 3: ninety seven or five dollars something like that, depending on
Speaker 3: where you go. But I'm just saying the eggs were
Speaker 3: eight bucks. You know. Bacon Baker was about, yeah, well,
Speaker 3: it's not gonna be easy, especially once he raised the terms.
Speaker 3: When we get sixty percent of our produce and stuff
Speaker 3: from other.
Speaker 2: Places, it's all I want to say, a flame, No shit,
Speaker 2: what do you think Joe Biden's been saying the best
Speaker 2: two years since COVID is over. The prices went up
Speaker 2: and we had the inflation due to COVID. You know,
Speaker 2: it's a worldwide phenomenon. We came out of it the
Speaker 2: best and the easiest. There are some countries that are
Speaker 2: literally at their knees that have not come out of COVID.
Speaker 2: Of course, you can't just wave a finger and wave
Speaker 2: a wand of course he didn't say that on the
Speaker 2: campaign trail, but had he looked a little bit more,
Speaker 2: I told you his economists went in and started looking
Speaker 2: at stuff and said I read an article from CNN.
Speaker 2: This was probably about three weeks ago, and the expression
Speaker 2: was so simple. It was like, oh, the economy is
Speaker 2: actually not that bad, but he's been telling everybody it was.
Speaker 2: It was desperate now that said. We don't want to
Speaker 2: sound like we're non empathetic, because, as you just said,
Speaker 2: you know, we're feeding ourselves and I know that I
Speaker 2: look pitcheck to paycheck. I think when on oft times,
Speaker 2: when you're not working, like we' got a break right
Speaker 2: now from tips tour, you're feeling the pain. So I
Speaker 2: don't want people to not think that. But the economy
Speaker 2: for the country isn't as bad. It's the inflation and
Speaker 2: the inflation with him talking about the migrants and all
Speaker 2: of that jazz. We spoke about it last last episode
Speaker 2: that some of the prices are starting to come up.
Speaker 2: Was it two point seven? I think was the was
Speaker 2: the number that we had last week. Inflation was starting
Speaker 2: to rise. Joe Biden had it starting to come down.
Speaker 2: And then with all of this immigration and whatever talk,
Speaker 2: we had a lot of the migrants who were picking stuff.
Speaker 2: This is only one of the things. I know, there
Speaker 2: are many things going on, but they were self deporting
Speaker 2: themselves because they want to be able to come back.
Speaker 2: And you know, we've got a lot of you know,
Speaker 2: vegetables on the vine, so to speak. So you're exactly right.
Speaker 2: I mean, between the tariffs and the immigration issues, we're
Speaker 2: going to have big problems with food. You better get
Speaker 2: yourself a chicken and start planting some crops. I don't
Speaker 2: know what I can and plant in twenty degree weather,
Speaker 2: but some root vegetables. But we better, we better start
Speaker 2: doing something because it's it's not going to get better
Speaker 2: under it. Even though he says it, what did Elon
Speaker 2: Musk say that you keep telling everybody it's going to
Speaker 2: get it's gonna be tight or something for a little while.
Speaker 3: It's going to hard. It's going to Yeah, it's going
Speaker 3: to be hard for a little like as if it's
Speaker 3: going to affect him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, uh, well for the for the regular American. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it is going to get hard. We're gonna have
Speaker 2: to get used to it, and people, I believe that
Speaker 2: we'll all get through it. We're gonna have to tighten
Speaker 2: our belts. We're going to have to say no to
Speaker 2: the kids for some stuff and not overspend, be careful
Speaker 2: and mindful of our money.
Speaker 3: And uh.
Speaker 2: And if you are in the climate that you can
Speaker 2: grow a little something, grow a little something and try
Speaker 2: to tide you over. Can your stuff wave? They did
Speaker 2: it in the depression. Stuff. We're going to have to
Speaker 2: do it. But we will get through the next four
Speaker 2: years two years. Remember we vote again.
Speaker 3: It is going to be very very very difficult, Bobby.
Speaker 3: We just listen. We're survivors. We will have to make do.
Speaker 3: It will not be easy. And you know what I
Speaker 3: think at us also is because we look on the
Speaker 3: internet and I see my neighbor living this kind of way,
Speaker 3: and I'm thinking on the outside looking in that, but
Speaker 3: I promise you. Sometimes it looks good on the internet,
Speaker 3: but they have the same troubles. They may not have
Speaker 3: the financial woes, but they have a whole lot of
Speaker 3: other issues. Let me tell you who's having issue. The shooter.
Speaker 3: The shooter this past week, fifteen year old girl who
Speaker 3: went and shot up fifteen year old girl. They have
Speaker 3: not devosed all the information with something was. I believe
Speaker 3: that something was happening to this kid for her to
Speaker 3: have this much anger and bitterness more than bullids. Something
Speaker 3: was happening with her.
Speaker 2: Okay, she happening in her in her home right. So
Speaker 2: they said that her parents have been married and divorced
Speaker 2: to each other at least two times. She was living
Speaker 2: under a very difficult child custody situation. These are just
Speaker 2: the things they've been able to pull sofar. We still
Speaker 2: don't know if that's the motivation. The only thing that
Speaker 2: we really know about it is that we had a
Speaker 2: fourteen year old and a forty two year old that
Speaker 2: were killed. They identified them Ruby Vergara, who was fourteen,
Speaker 2: and Aaron West was forty two. She entered an open
Speaker 2: study room and six other people were injured, four of
Speaker 2: them immediate rely leased. Two of them that are still
Speaker 2: in critical condition, fighting for their lives. So there's got
Speaker 2: to be something. It is so sad. And this was
Speaker 2: a private Christian school. My god, I can't even Yeah,
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see way to get the down flame.
Speaker 3: I wonder whether they have it's a private Christian school,
Speaker 3: and so this new Republican regime, that's all they're pushing
Speaker 3: is private. It is Christian schools. And who I wondered
Speaker 3: that she had one of them Trump Bibles up in there?
Speaker 3: Name was Natalie Rucknow Yeah, because you know he's selling bibles.
Speaker 3: He's selling bibles for sixty bucks. I wanted did she
Speaker 3: have one of those Trump Bibles up in those Christian
Speaker 3: school I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, but I will I will be interested today to
Speaker 2: find out, but be to see, like where did she
Speaker 2: get the gun if she was in between parents? You know,
Speaker 2: parents are being held accountable with this stuff. Now. You
Speaker 2: know you've already seen seeing two parents that that have
Speaker 2: gone to jail and two more that are that are
Speaker 2: going to be be tried. It'll be interesting to see
Speaker 2: see what happens with this terrible before the holidays. I
Speaker 2: just feel you send your kid, your kids going to
Speaker 2: get some extra help, and and this is what happens.
Speaker 2: Did you see the Gilgo Beach guy has two there
Speaker 2: are two more bodies, two additional people that they're they're
Speaker 2: looking at. He is nuts. I just can't believe it.
Speaker 2: I'm like cheapest creepers. You know how old these bodies
Speaker 2: have been for a long time. One of them they
Speaker 2: think may have looked like a woman or dressed as
Speaker 2: a woman, but they think it might be a man.
Speaker 2: There's still they have to check the bones.
Speaker 3: And stuff, you know. But the stories like that make
Speaker 3: you think, how did these people even say? But because
Speaker 3: I could walk around with that heavy blanket on me
Speaker 3: every day knowing that I had killed and buried somebody,
Speaker 3: that's a lot to carry around for years and not
Speaker 3: disclosed to nobody. You know, I would be paranoid or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think people's consciousness are different. But oh,
Speaker 3: the way that that story sounds like he has no conscious,
Speaker 3: no soul.
Speaker 2: No when you look in his eyes too, and of
Speaker 2: course that you know we've seeing him all over the
Speaker 2: news for the past year. But when you look in
Speaker 2: his eyes, there's like a and he's a big, strapping guy,
Speaker 2: like I think he's a six foot, you know, for
Speaker 2: three hundred pound, like if you were a small woman,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't have any chance. There's like a deadness like
Speaker 2: the few times they've had he just there's like a deep,
Speaker 2: dark deadness. And his eyes. I mean, thank god they
Speaker 2: actually have them. I hope they can tie everything to them.
Speaker 2: I really hope if there are the bodies, that they
Speaker 2: are able to identify them for the family, so the
Speaker 2: families have some sort of closure, because yipes, that that
Speaker 2: is some some really crazy crazy stuff. Look at him.
Speaker 2: They just did an extradition, didn't they on uh Luigimon. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's so he's off to you know, he didn't like
Speaker 2: the conditions of the jail in Pennsylvania, so let's see. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's oh yeah, maybe they can. They did say he
Speaker 2: didn't speak much. Everything was a yes or no. His
Speaker 2: His attorney asked him, is he sure that this is
Speaker 2: what he wanted? He said yes. Uh, you know, he
Speaker 2: thinks he's not going to do of course. I mean,
Speaker 2: he probably won't do any any worse in New York
Speaker 2: than he would in Pennsylvania. I don't know, it's not
Speaker 2: like you know, they're they're living in a lot of
Speaker 2: luxury there. I wonder if so we're talking about a
Speaker 2: deadness or a craziness. I think I don't know. If
Speaker 2: he was so immature, I don't get it. I wonder
Speaker 2: if he realizes that he's going to jail for the
Speaker 2: rest of his life. I mean, they have him, have them,
Speaker 2: do you know, like this isn't life?
Speaker 3: Maybe he is to me another Meninda's brothers. And when
Speaker 3: I say that, I don't mean that he killed his parents.
Speaker 3: But he was so entitled and he felt so privileged.
Speaker 3: He came for money, he was about He had everything
Speaker 3: that you could possibly want to afford. And it still
Speaker 3: wasn't enough that you would go out and a poet.
Speaker 3: And you're so smart, you're magnum Kulotte of a private school.
Speaker 3: You know, you're the number one. You couldn't sit down
Speaker 3: and call a board meeting, would that you had to
Speaker 3: go this extreme? And again, Bobby, I agree with you
Speaker 3: that you were a coward. You shot this man in
Speaker 3: the back. He didn't even see you coming. You couldn't
Speaker 3: even have a conversation with you. Was just that angry,
Speaker 3: and you you had millions and millions of dollars a
Speaker 3: bump that you were young, bright and extremely handsome young man.
Speaker 3: You probably could have had anything you wanted, but you
Speaker 3: chose to kill somebody, So now you have to take
Speaker 3: what they give you.
Speaker 2: I can't even he had every He had a privilege
Speaker 2: by his sex, he had privileged by his color, socioeconomic status, education,
Speaker 2: he had every privilege there isn't I don't know. I
Speaker 2: think there's one other privilege that he didn't get. And
Speaker 2: you know what's even crazier, So his family is is
Speaker 2: hide in the attorney. I was listening to News Nation,
Speaker 2: I think it was last night or the night before,
Speaker 2: and they were saying, he hasn't even nobody, his parents
Speaker 2: haven't even spoken or visited to him. It's through the attorney.
Speaker 2: But he has collected As of yesterday, one hundred and
Speaker 2: ten thousand people are paying for his legal defense fund.
Speaker 2: Is that nuts?
Speaker 3: Well, they look at him as a robin Hood because
Speaker 3: of the way that the health a kind of because
Speaker 3: of the healthcare system here in America, So they some
Speaker 3: people have actually led him, well, they have a lot
Speaker 3: of people have labeled him a modern day Robinhood takes
Speaker 3: from the rich and give to the board.
Speaker 2: But this is so here's the difference which I find infuriating,
Speaker 2: So we just talked about everything that he had. Mister Thompson,
Speaker 2: he came up by his bootstraps himself. He found his
Speaker 2: own way, got himself to school, paid himself. He just
Speaker 2: came from a regular, average family. You know, he wasn't
Speaker 2: brought up in privilege. So he is the is the
Speaker 2: hero that he made it. And again he didn't necessarily
Speaker 2: make the decisions for people's claims not to get paid
Speaker 2: or whatnot. He just happens to head the company, the
Speaker 2: largest healthcare company. I just, I really, I don't have
Speaker 2: a lot of his immature that he has to have.
Speaker 2: I feel badly for that because I think he's twenty six.
Speaker 2: He made a decision for the rest of his life.
Speaker 2: That his life is destroyed. It's over. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: never going anywhere. Think of all that, the good that
Speaker 2: he could have done with that magnetical malade and the education,
Speaker 2: the both prep school, the.
Speaker 3: Colle I'm going to cut you off and disagree with
Speaker 3: you right there, because if he writes Donald Trump a
Speaker 3: nice letter and says he's going to donate some money,
Speaker 3: he might get a pardon. He might get a pardon.
Speaker 2: I mean, he feels terrible for the average man and
Speaker 2: and the you know, the little guy. But he didn't
Speaker 2: mind taking his parents' money and being self funded down
Speaker 2: in Hawaii while he sunned his buns. There's too much
Speaker 2: hypocrisy and all of it. I just don't but you
Speaker 2: are right, he could.
Speaker 3: God knows, I'm trying. The way the country is set
Speaker 3: up now, you really just don't know what is going
Speaker 3: to happen. But I think that was still a tragedy
Speaker 3: because even if the guy who was or it was
Speaker 3: wrong in some aspected, I don't know, because they have
Speaker 3: not disclosed enough detail of us to say what went better.
Speaker 3: He still was a parent, he still was a dad,
Speaker 3: he still was a husband, you know, he still had
Speaker 3: a life. There are other ways of dealing with things.
Speaker 3: But like you said, by the immaturity is and like
Speaker 3: the Internet tells you or some of these video games,
Speaker 3: kill kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, not reason, not rhyme,
Speaker 3: not talk, not have a situation, it's just kill kill kill.
Speaker 3: Is we living in monstrous times?
Speaker 2: It's crazy? And then I haven't. I don't know a
Speaker 2: whole lot about him either. Chris Cuomo had somebody on
Speaker 2: I think from the company. This was last week and
Speaker 2: they said. The sad part is he was the type
Speaker 2: of agitator Thompson himself that questioned things, how can we
Speaker 2: do it better? How can we do it more cost effectively?
Speaker 2: How do we change things in lower rates? I mean,
Speaker 2: this was the guy that potentially could have sat on
Speaker 2: a committee with people and right to change healthcare and
Speaker 2: he was taken out by by a coward. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Anybody that shoots somebody in the back and they don't
Speaker 2: even know what no is, that's a coward in the
Speaker 2: darkness in the can't we started anyway?
Speaker 3: Well, well he's in. He's in the Brooklyn penal system.
Speaker 3: Maybe he'll share baby oil in sales with me? Do
Speaker 3: you say penal system and the Maybe he'll share sales
Speaker 3: with Diddy, they'll chair baby all in healthcare stories.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe.
Speaker 3: Did he get out? They keep turning him down. He
Speaker 3: ain't going nowhere. They got him right where they want.
Speaker 2: Him because they know and you know, the thing is,
Speaker 2: so his privilege, his financial privilege isn't helping him and
Speaker 2: his notoriety and all that stuff because they know he's
Speaker 2: going to take off. He's not staying.
Speaker 3: If he went him out, he goes, he's gonna run
Speaker 3: like Peter, Paul and Mary. I'm leave then on the plane.
Speaker 3: Don't know when I'll be back again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's the truth. It's yeah, he'll be gone.
Speaker 2: The one thing I was I don't want to say
Speaker 2: I'm glad because the immigration they're talking about the massive deportation,
Speaker 2: but that borders are that they are trying to come
Speaker 2: up with the formula for easier way to deport and
Speaker 2: they're definitely going after the criminals first. I don't think
Speaker 2: they're going to do much better than Biden has done.
Speaker 2: But it's funny when you're sitting back in the big
Speaker 2: seat and he's try to educate himself a little bit more,
Speaker 2: or at least getting people in. It's not as easy,
Speaker 2: like we just talked about groceries. He was going to
Speaker 2: magically make all the wars disappear. He was going to
Speaker 2: bring inflation down on day one, and now all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, now that he's in, Oh not so easy.
Speaker 2: So we won't support everybody, but we'll go the he did.
Speaker 3: Say doing the debate, if I am elected president, I'll
Speaker 3: stop the war immediately. Yeah, okay, so you're president Ele,
Speaker 3: we're waiting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, any Jesus he's been We talked about this last
Speaker 2: last week or the week before. For a second, I've
Speaker 2: never seen anybody that's been waiting to go in. You know,
Speaker 2: he still has a month to go, and he's acting
Speaker 2: like he's president. He's sitting with everybody, meeting with everybody.
Speaker 2: So he's already doing it all. Why isn't it Why
Speaker 2: isn't it over?
Speaker 3: So he was like a snake oil man. He's so
Speaker 3: the middle of the ocean, a condo in the middle
Speaker 3: of the ocean, and you knew it was in the
Speaker 3: middle of the ocean, and you steal bought it.
Speaker 2: And people fucked around, and now they're going to find
Speaker 2: out happen.
Speaker 3: Say that, Bobby say it.
Speaker 2: It's true, fucked around and find out the big cup
Speaker 2: Bob is. And I actually heard Trump come out against it.
Speaker 2: I did hear about the polio vaccine. He likes the
Speaker 2: salt vaccine. I think that. I don't think that RFK.
Speaker 2: And that's what this this piece, with this segments about
Speaker 2: was talking about getting rid of the polio vaccine. That's
Speaker 2: how the media is sort of twisting it.
Speaker 3: Back to RFK. Okay, mad man, gone man, good guy.
Speaker 3: He is giving me a mad man awful.
Speaker 2: But the one thing that we that you and I
Speaker 2: have said is I feel like the young aren't listening
Speaker 2: to the regular media. They feel like it's passe, and
Speaker 2: they were only listening to TikTok and all these crazy things.
Speaker 2: I think everybody else you got to vet things, not
Speaker 2: just once, but twice. So he had somebody that that
Speaker 2: had worked with him at one time that was on
Speaker 2: again News Nation. I'm like news Nation all over the
Speaker 2: place today, and he said there's one vaccine, there were
Speaker 2: three of them, one of them for children, that he
Speaker 2: doesn't feel like it's been vetted enough and he wants
Speaker 2: more more information done on it. So he wasn't talking
Speaker 2: about getting rid of all of them, which is what
Speaker 2: the the media madeency like, you know, was being whipped off.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard RFK himself say that. I'm sort of
Speaker 2: but he hasn't been saying much. He's just been sort
Speaker 2: of shaking the bushes, you know, up in Washington. I
Speaker 2: haven't heard him. Have you speak this week? I haven't really,
Speaker 2: I haven't heard a whole of a lot other You've
Speaker 2: been too busy, you haven't been you haven't been looking
Speaker 2: at that.
Speaker 3: Okay, and JD Vans have seemed to be very quiet
Speaker 3: because the president, the president elect, is Donald Trump. But
Speaker 3: from what I'm seeing from the news I'm sitting on,
Speaker 3: the president is Elion munksk.
Speaker 2: He's certainly the social media king. He made a comment
Speaker 2: something this is not This is not verbatim that you know.
Speaker 2: He they have between Trump and himself, they have all
Speaker 2: the media like he thinks he's putin who puts out
Speaker 2: the media? Because between acts and news? What? What is?
Speaker 2: What is Trump's called I'm a true nation. I knew
Speaker 2: it was nation. I was going to say news nation,
Speaker 2: just because they had just said it, which is not
Speaker 2: the truth. That's only that type of that's the you know,
Speaker 2: that's a streaming whatever you want to call it. Platform,
Speaker 2: not even streaming isn't even correct that the stuff you're
Speaker 2: seeing people people say something to you, go and look,
Speaker 2: don't believe in what they're saying one hundred percent, because
Speaker 2: we can get ourselves in a twist over stuff. And
Speaker 2: it's until the twenty first, we aren't even going to
Speaker 2: know what's going to happen. There's no use of us
Speaker 2: getting crazy right now. To me, I'm looking at that shutdown.
Speaker 2: Stuff just keeps coming up. Oh, they're still working on
Speaker 2: it now.
Speaker 3: Because of the government shutdown too. Right now it's so
Speaker 3: closer year.
Speaker 2: No, you're not, because they're all going to be gone
Speaker 2: for whatever. They're going to have to come up with something.
Speaker 2: There was some crazy mess I guess in the in
Speaker 2: what Trump had wanted. He wanted that dead ceiling gone,
Speaker 2: and he wanted a few other crazy things. He wanted
Speaker 2: the low disaster relief. What about the core people that
Speaker 2: are that are voted for you, that are living in
Speaker 2: North Carolinas that are still intense right now, You're going
Speaker 2: to take their disaster money away from them? No, I
Speaker 2: don't think so. You know, just absolutely nuts. So hopefully
Speaker 2: by tomorrow they'll do something. The dow plunge, which is
Speaker 2: sort of normal right after right after an election, but
Speaker 2: it also caused in order for us not to get
Speaker 2: intoflation inflation. They're saying that the Fed's going to reduce
Speaker 2: the interest rate by a quarter percent. I'm always happy
Speaker 2: for that. Anytime any of my credit cards or my
Speaker 2: potentially my student loans will go down, I'm like, whoop woop,
Speaker 2: I'll take it.
Speaker 3: I think I think that when I was watching MSNBC earlier,
Speaker 3: how they're going after this Chaney. They're blaming the li
Speaker 3: Chaney for so many things because she had a different
Speaker 3: point of view. I don't like that this Chaney, to me,
Speaker 3: was standing on an American principle that was implemented being
Speaker 3: of the Constitution of the United States seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 3: Because she's not saying what you all want her to say. Now,
Speaker 3: y'all want to change all of these different laws and route.
Speaker 3: We are living in a crisis, y'all. I'm telling you
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 2: But the only thing I like about Liz and that
Speaker 2: I'm I'm really appreciating it, is that she has her
Speaker 2: receipts flamed. So she had There was one one conversation
Speaker 2: that they were there upset about something that was said
Speaker 2: or Trump is something that was said, like it was
Speaker 2: slanderous and she she said it one way. The person
Speaker 2: she said it too, said no, that's exactly what she said.
Speaker 2: So that's one of the things he might he might
Speaker 2: try to sue, because you know, he's suing that polster Trump.
Speaker 2: They they said that her her company said that Harris
Speaker 2: was up by three points. So he wants to go
Speaker 2: ahead and sue her. I'm trying to think of what
Speaker 2: the hell her name is, and I'm thinking, really, this
Speaker 2: is this is the where you're going to spend your time.
Speaker 2: It seems absolutely crazy. Anne Seltzer, well, yeah, well, well
Speaker 2: he's his whole campaign.
Speaker 3: He was on revenge. So nothing has changed. He's on revenge.
Speaker 2: He said, well I know, no, and he did. I mean,
Speaker 2: hopefully nothing happens with Fannie. We already know what. The
Speaker 2: Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified her from bringing that. Bringing
Speaker 2: that forward. We also did this week because we have it.
Speaker 2: We live in a democracy. The electoral college actually did
Speaker 2: clinch that he that he did with when it takes
Speaker 2: a long time, this is what we get off. We
Speaker 2: started to have some of the troubles the last time
Speaker 2: he won three hundred and twelve and she won to
Speaker 2: twenty six. I didn't really she was so low for
Speaker 2: some reason. I thought she was like two thirty. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it is a little disappointing.
Speaker 3: It's going to be a shakeout week, but especially if
Speaker 3: we go into lockdown with this cut. I just want
Speaker 3: to say, with the who Luigi guy, I understand people,
Speaker 3: I understand both sides of that story. I don't agree
Speaker 3: with him going to shoot that man period killing that man.
Speaker 3: But I do understand both sides. I don't understand though,
Speaker 3: that you are rich and privileged and people out here
Speaker 3: struggling like yourself, but like myself. You know, I only
Speaker 3: work from gig to gig, you know, and you work
Speaker 3: from paycheck to paycheck, which is the same thing as me.
Speaker 3: But and when things get tight, I don't want to
Speaker 3: go last shout and kill somebody because I'm not getting
Speaker 3: things my way or they're not doing it fast enough.
Speaker 3: That is definitely what you said. There's a level of
Speaker 3: matuity that is lacking and missing in this country right now.
Speaker 3: And I think that'll be a good title, the lack
Speaker 3: of peturity in America, because that's the extreme, that is
Speaker 3: the that's the last resort. You go murder somebody, you know,
Speaker 3: not talking out, not let's have a meeting, Let's try
Speaker 3: to come to some situation to where we can sit
Speaker 3: and talk and hash it out. Just go and kill
Speaker 3: that is what we're going to tell.
Speaker 2: The ideas. What do we always say, I've said it,
Speaker 2: I never mind. If you complain about something, you don't
Speaker 2: like it, and it's it's healthcare is awful in the
Speaker 2: United States. We have I mean, we have to be
Speaker 2: having some sort of negotiation with the pharmaceutical companies. We
Speaker 2: have to work with the insurance companies to get prices done.
Speaker 2: There's a million things we can do, but Luigi, bring
Speaker 2: your ideas. Be willing to put on some shoes and
Speaker 2: walk the pavement and do some of the work. Get
Speaker 2: people together. I mean there's a million he could have
Speaker 2: become a lobbyist and lobby for this. There's a million
Speaker 2: things that he could have done, but he chose the easy,
Speaker 2: kind of sexy way. And I put that right back
Speaker 2: to what you said earlier. It's we've we're up against
Speaker 2: the young people. What are we teaching them? We are crazy.
Speaker 2: We are in an environment that twenty years ago you
Speaker 2: and I would both go there's no way, it's no way.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, well, with the internet, we have sensationalized beauty.
Speaker 3: We have because if he was an unattractive man, Bobby,
Speaker 3: I don't know if people would still see him the
Speaker 3: same way. But because he's such an attractive man, I
Speaker 3: think that, and I think they have sized that and
Speaker 3: made him like a martyr. And no, he's a murderer,
Speaker 3: not a many he's a murderer. I like that he's
Speaker 3: a murderer, not a matterer, so not a matter. It's
Speaker 3: going to be crazy, Bobby, But you know what, We're
Speaker 3: gonna keep reporting to you guys here right and left
Speaker 3: and learned, and I'm gonna feel better, y'all. I'm gonna
