Speaker 1: How is your week, Bobby Clifford?

Speaker 3: You know all that stuff sucking in air?
Speaker 1: Ready? And look you registered to vote all of that? Yeah.
Speaker 3: Always, I'm always. I stay ready so I don't have
Speaker 3: to get ready.
Speaker 1: Bobby's getting more and more African American, y'all as this
Speaker 1: show go on. I just want you all to know
Speaker 1: Bobby is turning into a full on SI stole. I
Speaker 1: just want you to know, be ready for it if
Speaker 1: you show up next season. Her name is Kesha. We
Speaker 1: just flipped the y'all, We flipped her. Thank you guys
Speaker 1: for joining us here. Thank you to our producer, mister
Speaker 1: Aaron Howard. Hey Aaron, where we go on, Bobby? Let's
Speaker 1: kick it off. Let's kick it off of what happened today? Now?
Speaker 1: Mind you? I didn't see it because I was in
Speaker 1: the streets, but Bobby saw it. So let's talk about it.
Speaker 3: Oh, we're talking about the Are we talking about the interview?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Oh, so it's going It's probably over in four minutes.
Speaker 3: So I thought the first half hour because we had
Speaker 3: to get ready. We had got to get ready for this.
Speaker 3: I thought that Dana the interviewer did She was doing
Speaker 3: a great job. She was asking hard questions. I thought
Speaker 3: that Kama was handling them. I'd like to have a
Speaker 3: little bit more information some of the stuff that I
Speaker 3: think that Dana is. She's actually doing our favor because
Speaker 3: these are the questions everybody has. She's had Harris has
Speaker 3: had hard hitting feelings about certain things, and she wants
Speaker 3: to know why she's flipped. She doesn't want it to
Speaker 3: be known as a flip flopper. So you've changed, and
Speaker 3: you know what has changed and why has it changed.
Speaker 3: So she got some of that stuff out, you know.
Speaker 3: In one of the comments, Kamalas said that you know,
Speaker 3: her values haven't changed, but opinions have. And then they
Speaker 3: addressed in the part that I watched, I watched the
Speaker 3: rest after this, they had asked Tim Walls about his
Speaker 3: service record because he had said he'd held weapons of war.
Speaker 3: But when we heard the full the full explanation, it
Speaker 3: made sense. It was in response to a school shooting
Speaker 3: that had come out, and basically what he was trying
Speaker 3: to say is that he has held weapons of war
Speaker 3: and there's no reason for them to be in schools.
Speaker 3: People should not be able to get them so easy.
Speaker 3: Either that you know, you're not shooting B and B
Speaker 3: with an AK forty seven. He wasn't saying that he
Speaker 3: went to war with them, because all of his service was,
Speaker 3: you know, like when they have floods and earthquakes and
Speaker 3: all that stuff. It was more here, I think in
Speaker 3: the Americas where his service was. So I'll be interested
Speaker 3: to see. They were just kind of warming up when
Speaker 3: I when I dialed off, So I'll be interested to
Speaker 3: see to see the rest. I'm glad they they're starting
Speaker 3: with these interviews. Trump has been losing his bananas. She's
Speaker 3: not a good interviewer. And if she can't interview, and
Speaker 3: how does he know, he's never seen her interview before,
Speaker 3: but he is he is losing it. On Monday, he
Speaker 3: was he was at Arlington National Cemetery because that was
Speaker 3: the third anniversary of the thirteen who were killed at
Speaker 3: Abbey Gate over in Afghanistan when we're leaving, and he
Speaker 3: and his team went in with cameras, which in you know,
Speaker 3: the Pentagon says no, no, I don't know if it's
Speaker 3: a hard fast law, but you know, it's just you
Speaker 3: just don't do it. It's not a place for political coup.
Speaker 3: But he went in. He had permission from the families
Speaker 3: to take pictures of their kids' graves, and he went
Speaker 3: in and he did one of these like thumbs up
Speaker 3: in a big smile in front of the I. You know,
Speaker 3: I thought he might look in deference or something else.
Speaker 3: But it's a big hallaballoo that's going on right now.
Speaker 3: I mean, I hope to god he doesn't wind up
Speaker 3: with another indictment over something as heartless as this, But
Speaker 3: he is. I don't know who's advising him, but Kitty
Speaker 3: Correk did a whole write up if you want to
Speaker 3: read it, it's she's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Who's ever advising him? It ain't like he's listening.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm you're exactly. I mean, who would do this?
Speaker 3: But somebody has to put him in a car. You
Speaker 3: couldn't put him in a car and pretend you were
Speaker 3: you know, go to an old cemetery and down, pretend
Speaker 3: you're out and out like wantn't take all the pictures
Speaker 3: he wants. You know, this was just it was a
Speaker 3: bad look. He's already calling veterans losers and whatever the
Speaker 3: other expressions that he used. He's not so kind to them,
Speaker 3: and I thought this was a little disgraceful and distasteful,
Speaker 3: but he got his point across.
Speaker 1: Well, if you guys don't like that, just to go
Speaker 1: to the post and bothe the way you want to vote,
Speaker 1: Just make sure that you are registered to vote, because
Speaker 1: this is one of the topics that we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about. I'm jumping right into it right now. In Texas,
Speaker 1: they just reported that a million people's names were taken
Speaker 1: off the ballots to vote that they were unregistered. I
Speaker 1: don't know what they did on the internet, which is
Speaker 1: why we are telling you make sure you go to
Speaker 1: vote dot org. It takes less than two minutes to
Speaker 1: make sure that you are on the list. Because the game,
Speaker 1: if the game is on, the game is on, and
Speaker 1: they are playing for the long play, they're playing for keeps.
Speaker 1: We can't get frustrated, and we cannot turn our back
Speaker 1: on them because a million people removed. We need those votes.
Speaker 3: I bet we need I bet absolutely. It's going to
Speaker 3: be down Honest to God, it's going to be like
Speaker 3: they're hand counting them. It's the numbers I think are
Speaker 3: going to be tiny in those swing states played, you know,
Speaker 3: in all the states, you know all the areas that
Speaker 3: we need. So when you say vote, and if you
Speaker 3: don't vote, it's it's your foot. It's the truth, especially
Speaker 3: if you're one of the battleground states, because they're they're
Speaker 3: going to be close in the number I think, and
Speaker 3: some of them. Biden only won by ten thousand. That
Speaker 3: was the last time. It's going to be even closer.
Speaker 3: It's going to be by you know, the hair on
Speaker 3: your chinny chin chin And in my case, wait a minute,
Speaker 3: many chance see it?
Speaker 1: Wait a minute? Can you see the hair? Can you
Speaker 1: can you see my hairs?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: And I know y'all like, oh yeah, say this every week,
Speaker 1: but we have to because we cannot get relaxed. We
Speaker 1: thought that he'll we thought that Hillary won. It was
Speaker 1: a shoe and it was not. You see how it
Speaker 1: turned out. So yeah, you got to you gotta do it,
Speaker 1: and he.
Speaker 3: Got and dieted this week. Did you see that he
Speaker 3: got he was he got reindicted, So we'll see how
Speaker 3: that goes. Jack Smith. He changed and tweaked the paperwork
Speaker 3: and the indictment to match up to what the Scotish
Speaker 3: requirements were and put it back in. So well, I
Speaker 3: don't know what's going to happen. We're certainly not going
Speaker 3: to see anything happen before election day. But he just
Speaker 3: wants them to be held accountable, whether he is, you know,
Speaker 3: deemed innocent once once you know, they look at the information,
Speaker 3: that's one thing, but he should at least be investigated
Speaker 3: and then brought to bear. So that's what's going on.
Speaker 3: That's what's good. He is, as I said, he's more nonsensical.
Speaker 3: He's just off some.
Speaker 1: You know, when Hillary Clinton came out at the DNC
Speaker 1: last week, they gave her such a resounding round applause.
Speaker 1: That was guilt. I think we have said that last week,
Speaker 1: but that was guilt. And I want y'all to know, y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all knew y'all messed up. Y'all When I say y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all who listened to they tell y'all who Hillary was
Speaker 1: or who Hillary was not, or whatever mistakes that she
Speaker 1: made in her past or whatever y'all knew. Y'all messed up,
Speaker 1: y'all put y'all put up, out of touch reality star,
Speaker 1: out of touch with reality reality star in the highest
Speaker 1: nation in the land. And he did just what he
Speaker 1: was supposed to do. He corrupted everything.
Speaker 3: Yep, he did. He was supposed to shake things up,
Speaker 3: and sweet Jesus, he certainly did shake things up, but
Speaker 3: not in a good way. You know, it's always nice
Speaker 3: to have somebody agitate a little bit, will be become
Speaker 3: too complacent, but not in this way. You know, there's more,
Speaker 3: there's more hate this more.
Speaker 1: Trump has never been a regular person. He has never
Speaker 1: been a regular person.
Speaker 3: And I don't think he can identify God. He didn't
Speaker 3: even speak to like his his nannies or his like
Speaker 3: nobody like he he I don't know if he actually
Speaker 3: knows the regular person. He's had a conversation. You know,
Speaker 3: everybody's sort of been been in his bubble. You know,
Speaker 3: if they don't have the money, they have the power.
Speaker 1: Oh, I would want to be in his bubble. They
Speaker 1: say he had gas in the courtroom, they'll think that
Speaker 1: I want to be in his bubbles. I don't want
Speaker 1: to get bubbly. I don't want to get bubbly up
Speaker 1: in his bubbles.
Speaker 3: No Dutch of them for you, Yeah no, but I wouldn't.
Speaker 3: I just don't think he doesn't have it. He doesn't
Speaker 3: have to be the man's man. So I'm really I'm
Speaker 3: surprised that people think that he's he's for the little guy.
Speaker 3: He the little guy to him is probably someone that
Speaker 3: only makes you know, one billion a year. But anyway,
Speaker 3: so he has been kind of, you know, a little
Speaker 3: bit off as Rocker. We are nothing new there. The assassion,
Speaker 3: assassination attempt is it's there. The committee that that it
Speaker 3: was looking into it. They have gone to Pennsylvania that
Speaker 3: will still they said, we're not going to know anything
Speaker 3: till the fall what actually happened. They're still investigating that.
Speaker 3: So he's got nothing new there. And I actually saw
Speaker 3: his ear I don't even see that. It didn't even
Speaker 3: have a scratch, God bless him. Maybe he did he
Speaker 3: maybe he did grow a big, a big earback.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's.
Speaker 3: Suck God bless him. But I don't even see, well,
Speaker 3: my god, I talk about things that I ought so
Speaker 3: RFK we know back we spoke about that last week
Speaker 3: on Friday. Now his daughter is coming out and saying
Speaker 3: that he kind of whales head off. This guy is
Speaker 3: he's cookie. So I don't know if that. I don't
Speaker 3: know if him endorsing Trump is gonna help or hurt,
Speaker 3: Like I don't know where I don't He didn't have
Speaker 3: a lot of votes to begin with, but we just
Speaker 3: talked about it that it's not gonna it's gonna come
Speaker 3: down to small numbers. So I don't know if they
Speaker 3: were Democrats that went with him that you know that
Speaker 3: Joe is too old or well who who knows so well?
Speaker 1: I think I think RFK juniors people will. I think
Speaker 1: that he only had five percent according to the Post
Speaker 1: is what they said, and seeing in MSNBC one of them, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people just did not
Speaker 1: want to vote for Biden or Trump, and then they
Speaker 1: don't want to vote for Trump or Kamala Harris. So
Speaker 1: he was just to be able to say I actually voted,
Speaker 1: but I just it's a different way. But now that
Speaker 1: all his cheese is really starting to tell publicly that
Speaker 1: they slatting off the cracker, he might turn a lot.
Speaker 1: Either his voters will not vote or hopefully they will
Speaker 1: vote for somebody else, you know, either one of them.
Speaker 1: I'm not telling them which one. I would love to
Speaker 1: get them all the votes on the Democratic.
Speaker 3: Ticket, obviously, yeah, obviously.
Speaker 1: I just I still want them to vote because I'm
Speaker 1: glad of them. Might just throw the towel in and said,
Speaker 1: we're just not going to vote, which is what we
Speaker 1: don't want people to do, because we need you.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, we want you. We absolutely talking about
Speaker 3: she sliding off the cracker the debate. They were going
Speaker 3: to keep the so I'm a little surprised with Kamala.
Speaker 3: They were going to keep the rules that Biden had
Speaker 3: already put in place where everybody is muted unless you
Speaker 3: it's your turn to speak, and she doesn't want that.
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris wants wants him to be untapped so people
Speaker 3: can hear of these if he sounded nuts. So now
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is gonna to be his
Speaker 3: reason not to get involved in the end of the debate. Uh,
Speaker 3: you know, I I can go either way.
Speaker 1: Well, I keep telling y'all four minutes or more on
Speaker 1: an open microphone, and he can help himself. He cannot
Speaker 1: help himself. So that's that's probably a smart move.
Speaker 3: It probably, but I just kind of I don't know.
Speaker 3: I also want to hear what she has to say.
Speaker 3: I want to see if she's fact checking him. I
Speaker 3: want but I don't want him in the background whatever
Speaker 3: he does, stocking or being crazy or you know. I'd
Speaker 3: like to I'd like to actually hear what and I'd
Speaker 3: like to hear what he says. I'd like to hear
Speaker 3: him not answer.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure she's going to poke the bear.
Speaker 1: She's going to poke the uh dreamsicle bear. That's what.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, a dreamsicle. I haven't seen one of
Speaker 3: those since I was a little. Kodnays to sell them
Speaker 3: on the on the ice cream truck. Yeah, So we'll
Speaker 3: we'll see, We'll see what happens. I'll be interested to
Speaker 3: see if they actually show. Jd Vance was out hocking
Speaker 3: that they will not sign He does not believe that.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Biden, honest to god, Trump, it
Speaker 3: will sign off on three productive lights rights the federal bill.
Speaker 3: But we'll see. Even though I'm sure that he thinks
Speaker 3: that's the right thing to do. But I think he's losing.
Speaker 3: I think he's losing the females, you know. I think
Speaker 3: he's he's his numbers are waning in certain areas and
Speaker 3: he's trying to figure out how to how to pick
Speaker 3: them back up. I wouldn't necessarily believe what he's saying, though.
Speaker 3: I think he's saying anything to try to get the vote.
Speaker 3: But once he's in there, let's remember, people, you'll only
Speaker 3: have to vote for him once.
Speaker 1: I think the ropen dope of what the democratics have
Speaker 1: finally pulled the rug from up under him, twist him.
Speaker 1: Because when he thought he had it in a bag,
Speaker 1: he was the most confident person in the world. But
Speaker 1: now according to the polls and the media, and we
Speaker 1: don't know, we still got a vote, you know, they
Speaker 1: like he's slipping and he's losing. So it's not that
Speaker 1: he's lose, just that he's losing, which he hates to lose,
Speaker 1: according to everyone, and that he's losing to a woman,
Speaker 1: which he hates to lose. But he loses into a
Speaker 1: black woman, which is going to be a triple kick
Speaker 1: in the ass because not lose and then lose a
Speaker 1: woman and then lose to a black woman. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: might ooh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I think he is because a lot of the
Speaker 3: polls are coming out. I remember polls were only a
Speaker 3: snapshut in time, depending who it's taking them. But some
Speaker 3: of the numbers that are coming up as saying that
Speaker 3: are saying that Harris has a fifty five percent chance
Speaker 3: to beat him, and that might you know, he must
Speaker 3: be in a panic because President Biden only had a
Speaker 3: forty four percent chance, So that's going to be shaking him.
Speaker 3: And that Nicole Shanahan was was rfk's partner, the VP,
Speaker 3: and she's supporting the union between the two of them.
Speaker 3: She used an expression, and I don't know what it means.
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear someone explain it to me. She
Speaker 3: said that they both have a desire to form a
Speaker 3: coalition government. What in the world is a coalition government job?
Speaker 1: Because he needed a job.
Speaker 3: Because his wife just stopped her show. I kind of
Speaker 3: imagine that they don't have a boodle in the bank,
Speaker 3: you know, like that they he actually needs. I don't know,
Speaker 3: it seems it seems absolutely crazy to me by coalition.
Speaker 1: I'm like, having money and having something to do is
Speaker 1: two different things.
Speaker 3: Now, I guess you're right, but Kama was killing it
Speaker 3: with the fundraising. She's got five hundred and forty million
Speaker 3: since she launched Your Bed eighty two million at the
Speaker 3: date DNC alone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did they talk about that at.
Speaker 3: The DNC at all? They did, they mention. I wouldn't think,
Speaker 3: but I thought that was. I thought that was. That's
Speaker 3: quite a bit of money and that's going to be
Speaker 3: shaking him.
Speaker 1: And speaking of the DNC, a lot of people who
Speaker 1: left the DNC, they're saying have tested positive of COVID.
Speaker 1: If you were there and I was there, just take
Speaker 1: you a test to go get a test if you
Speaker 1: have any kind of respiratory problems. I had my mask
Speaker 1: on when I was moving through, but I did not
Speaker 1: have my mask on. We won once we got to
Speaker 1: the box where we were. How many people in the
Speaker 1: boxtone maybe like eight or nine.
Speaker 3: They're pretty good. Sounds like you weren't on each other.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, it was plenty in a room.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter if you were in the building.
Speaker 1: You know. It's just that COVID is still very prevalent.
Speaker 1: They don't talk around as much on the news, but
Speaker 1: they saying that it's on the rise. And Bobby pushes
Speaker 1: packs Loavid all the time. They should give her a commercial.
Speaker 1: So if you guys, if you guys could take that,
Speaker 1: take that or whatever you need to do to protect
Speaker 1: yourselves in your family because they and they also pushing
Speaker 1: another vaccine.
Speaker 3: Good people, Yeah, but only for some. They're starting with
Speaker 3: the like the elderly, the elderly and the sickly. You know,
Speaker 3: they're not saying it's necessarily this one's appropriate for everybody.
Speaker 3: They don't need it because it's I'm not a scientist,
Speaker 3: so I don't know, like it's it's helping people that
Speaker 3: have that are missing and somethings, and a lot of
Speaker 3: us aren't missing certain something, you know, whatever it is,
Speaker 3: so we don't necessarily need it. So why put something
Speaker 3: in your body that you don't need? It sounds like
Speaker 3: sounds like my first marriage.
Speaker 1: That was a that was a total joke right there, y'all.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let it slide though. I'm just Bobby
Speaker 1: opened up the door. But I'm just gonna let that
Speaker 1: we rag because it was so dirty in my head.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to repeat it. Why put something
Speaker 1: in your body if you really don't need Oh that
Speaker 1: was the double antionomy. But we're gonna go into the
Speaker 1: next topic. Okay, let's go so.
Speaker 3: Big surprises in Florida. They're saying that it actually could
Speaker 3: almost become a swing state, that that Trump had a big,
Speaker 3: big lead over Biden down there, but now with hars
Speaker 3: that the the gap is narrowing, so that will kind
Speaker 3: of be Oh could you imagine, Santan.
Speaker 1: Why I f y I've been to Florida. They do
Speaker 1: a lot of swinging. Oh you made a swing state.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, that would be wonderful. That would
Speaker 1: be wonderful.
Speaker 3: That Yep, absolutely, we already talked about it.
Speaker 1: I told you, Bobby, I told you, and I told
Speaker 1: everybody out there on there and learning. Even white folks
Speaker 1: are sick of the chaos. We are sick of the
Speaker 1: chaotic living. Racism ain't going nowhere. But all this, this
Speaker 1: is this the vision. It's just it's nobody's being neighborly anymore.
Speaker 1: It's ugly. We don't live. That's not what America is.
Speaker 1: People still speak to each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I don't, Yeah, I don't. I can't stand it.
Speaker 3: I never realized. I don't know if it always It's
Speaker 3: been ramped up since since Trump got into office, you know,
Speaker 3: or people just feel free to say it, or is
Speaker 3: he did he flip people or something. I just don't
Speaker 3: remember ever having this. I never was afraid to talk
Speaker 3: about politics. I never I never felt such division within
Speaker 3: my family. I never decided I wasn't going to go
Speaker 3: to a family or a friend event because of politics.
Speaker 3: But I do now I think of who's the guest list?
Speaker 3: So I don't know. The economy is back up, so
Speaker 3: Wall Street is kind of straightening out, so that's kind
Speaker 3: of like a positive yay. And the housing market, they
Speaker 3: said are has a little bit of improvement. Now, remember
Speaker 3: Kamala said that she was gonna give a twenty five
Speaker 3: I don't know how she's going to do it. I
Speaker 3: want to hear that part, but she was going to
Speaker 3: give twenty five thousand new homeowners. But there's a recent
Speaker 3: report said that there was a dire situation for owners
Speaker 3: and renters, and things are sort of with the inflation
Speaker 3: going down. It's almost down to two percent, which is
Speaker 3: where they like to see it. That things are looking good.
Speaker 3: We're going to get out that, they believe in the
Speaker 3: month of September, we're going to have an interest rate drop,
Speaker 3: which yay, because I have to buy a car, so
Speaker 3: I'm looking for a drop.
Speaker 1: Yes, sing, and I got too much over here, drop
Speaker 1: and I need everything to sit up.
Speaker 3: I mean to do a handstand and Bobby.
Speaker 1: I would like to see that, because as a single parent,
Speaker 1: and I go to the grocery store often food is
Speaker 1: I see the price ridiculous. I see the price and
Speaker 1: I see it. I'm like, oh my god, wasn't this
Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago. Four books? Now it's
Speaker 1: seven books? You know, and I know you like, it's
Speaker 1: only three more dollars. But if it's three dollars as
Speaker 1: everything that you pay, that's expensive.
Speaker 3: I would say when I do a full order for
Speaker 3: my house, I would say, it's up at least thirty
Speaker 3: to forty dollars from what I paid. And I understood it.
Speaker 3: I didn't like it during during COVID, but I understood
Speaker 3: it because there were supply chain issues getting the food
Speaker 3: to you, getting guys to unloaded. So when you only
Speaker 3: have two rolls of toilet paper, I'm going to use
Speaker 3: that because that's all we ever talked about the whole COVID.
Speaker 3: I understood that were more valuable, but there are no
Speaker 3: issues anymore. All that stuff is resolved, so the price
Speaker 3: should reflect maybe a slight increase, just like everybody gets
Speaker 3: a slight increase with their wages every year. I understand that,
Speaker 3: but not not the exactly like you said, not on
Speaker 3: almost double price and it's stayed there. You know, there
Speaker 3: is some price gougeon.
Speaker 1: I think, I think I think they think they're trying
Speaker 1: to make the money back from twenty twenty one. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna get that money back from twenty twenty money
Speaker 1: is gone.
Speaker 3: Gave you money, yeah, and the government gave you money.
Speaker 3: There were all sorts of programs during that time. So
Speaker 3: now you're trying to double dips. So that that's not
Speaker 3: I don't think that's that's so swell. Let's let's go
Speaker 3: to my least favorite subjects, the judicial system. So a
Speaker 3: federal judge in Texas paused Biden's immigration policy. Remember he
Speaker 3: was putting something out. See, this is why you don't
Speaker 3: do the executive ward because they just grab you. You
Speaker 3: can do as many executive orders as you want, but
Speaker 3: you know, all of a sudden, they start suing you.
Speaker 3: He's put a pause on the protections given to spouses
Speaker 3: of citizens. You know, like like, we'll say a spouse
Speaker 3: as a Mexican, but the wife has she's either a
Speaker 3: naturalized citizen or a citizen, and they're not giving those
Speaker 3: protections anymore. So it wasn't just the federal judges. Texas
Speaker 3: did it, but it was led by several GOP states.
Speaker 3: So that's on pause. The other thing that's on pause
Speaker 3: that brings a huge tear to my eye is Scotis
Speaker 3: actually did not back or did not help the SAVE program,
Speaker 3: which was President Biden's student loan repayment plan. And we
Speaker 3: know he's been working on that since the minute that
Speaker 3: he stepped into office. That was one of his initiatives
Speaker 3: that he really wanted to do, just like President Obama
Speaker 3: did Obamacare. That this was what he wanted to be
Speaker 3: one of his claim to fans. And they they they're
Speaker 3: not going to they're not going to take the block off.
Speaker 1: So oh yeah, and they shut that down. Scotis, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, is the Supreme Court of the United States.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they just they really are just really trying
Speaker 1: to I don't like the way they're trying to tarnish
Speaker 1: Joe's position as being the president of the United States.
Speaker 1: But keep pushing Joe and keep fighting. And I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people Bobby included, who really had taken
Speaker 1: advantage of y'all being nicer with these student loans because
Speaker 1: that program I did that that at Elbow been tot Elbow.
Speaker 1: What was it called? I did for misclarity, but I
Speaker 1: think it was called it was an organization that helps women.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember you saying, hey pay their taxes on their
Speaker 1: student loans because sometimes the interest becomes more than the
Speaker 1: actual loan.
Speaker 3: And that's the ones he was helping. So some people
Speaker 3: are really so oh my god. There was one one,
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was a senator or a
Speaker 3: congressman that came out and said, well, you know, the
Speaker 3: people don't want this. They want to pay their own
Speaker 3: way anyway. Not when you have a loan that started
Speaker 3: up we'll say twenty thousand, and now fifteen years later
Speaker 3: it's thirty two thousand, that's not No. People are looking
Speaker 3: for a little help, or the schools that scammed, or
Speaker 3: you're you're a civil employee that that could be helped.
Speaker 3: These are all things that were nurses and teachers. There
Speaker 3: are also the positions that you know, they require big degrees,
Speaker 3: which costs big money. But they're not going to make
Speaker 3: big money and ps we need them. We need those
Speaker 3: positions fuilled. So we'll see what happens at the end
Speaker 3: of that. If he gets anything, anything completed, I mean,
Speaker 3: he's doing his job. I say, just keep right right
Speaker 3: right writing them the executive orders. Oh you know what's started.
Speaker 3: We talked about this earlier today, the Paraalympic Games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I love that. I love that they
Speaker 1: are and now they are being there being shown worldwide.
Speaker 1: You know they there was a time that there was
Speaker 1: a time that it wasn't They had to grow, which
Speaker 1: is why you know y'all handed me my aid. That's
Speaker 1: when I talked about creating a lane for trans athletes.
Speaker 1: But this just goes to show you that were hard
Speaker 1: work and with time and patience and perseverance. Now it is.
Speaker 1: It was not televiassed, nobody really paid attention. Now it's
Speaker 1: about to be worldwide. This is what we could do
Speaker 1: for the trans Olympics if they ever created. It might
Speaker 1: start as small, but it'll get be. You start when
Speaker 1: you started with your husband, he started small, you made
Speaker 1: a get big.
Speaker 3: I don't have to say that was true. I have
Speaker 3: to say that was true. Yeah, no, I agree. I
Speaker 3: think it's great. I think of you know, Schreiber back
Speaker 3: in the sixties starting it in her backyard, I mean
Speaker 3: in her own pool, you know, with like twenty people,
Speaker 3: twenty eight volunteers and so many kids like and all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, looking at now worldwide, there's millions and
Speaker 3: millions and millions of people. But you are right, So
Speaker 3: what I think in today's society, and not just with this,
Speaker 3: with everything, especially the kids, they want everything immediately. We
Speaker 3: all want everything where you know, we're like in an
Speaker 3: instant McDonald's kind of culture. So, but you're right, if there,
Speaker 3: if somebody puts it together. And I'm going to say
Speaker 3: it again, I've said it before or on this and
Speaker 3: I've said it to you and personal conversations, I think
Speaker 3: the perfect person who holds exactly your opinions on all
Speaker 3: of this is Caitlyn Jenner. And I do not know
Speaker 3: why she doesn't pick up the ball and run, because
Speaker 3: what a legacy that would be for her if she
Speaker 3: got this started. She is an Olympian herself, she would
Speaker 3: know exactly what the infrastructure, or at least know the
Speaker 3: people to tap into to put the infrastructure in place
Speaker 3: and to try to get it going. And you could
Speaker 3: even start out with just the United States, you know,
Speaker 3: each state represent instead of each country. And then if
Speaker 3: it catches on here and people hear about it, I'm
Speaker 3: sure that other countries would kind of want to tap in.
Speaker 3: I think it's a great issue.
Speaker 1: You say you think she should pick up the ball.
Speaker 1: I think she's trying to get rid of her balls anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she cut those off.
Speaker 1: The don't and we don't completely agree with everything because
Speaker 1: sometimes she goes a little too extreme with that Republican
Speaker 1: bullshit that she pushes.
Speaker 3: Oh, just on this that it would be nice if
Speaker 3: they had their own that's all.
Speaker 1: But she would be a good representative because she has
Speaker 1: that experience. But I don't know, Bibby, she seems a
Speaker 1: little too radical right now. I don't know what Kaitlin
Speaker 1: is looking for. But I agree with you. We do
Speaker 1: need somebody needs to be the spear head behind that
Speaker 1: and really push that because it's time, it's pastime.
Speaker 3: No, I agree, Chill, I agree Youill so Yeah, Paralympics.
Speaker 3: Good luck to all of the athletes. Oh something that
Speaker 3: they probably don't have to worry about in France is
Speaker 3: what's now virus. Doctor Fauci had it. We have here.
Speaker 3: We had a town here in Massachusetts because of triple
Speaker 3: LEI that is actually asking for a a curfew, you know,
Speaker 3: a voluntary curfew because the mosquitoes are so bad, you know,
Speaker 3: and of course we don't talk about. You know, there's
Speaker 3: no global warming. It's too warm. You have to have
Speaker 3: thirty days of below freezing temperatures to kill off the
Speaker 3: the mosquitoes. We don't have that. We have a few
Speaker 3: here and there now. But that was I'm like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, I didn't think half of these diseases even
Speaker 3: happened any longer.
Speaker 1: Put on the voting it's a voting year. We talked
Speaker 1: about this last earlier in the year. Every time it's
Speaker 1: a voting year, either a new disease comes out or
Speaker 1: old when some kind of way manages to find its
Speaker 1: way out again, something that we thought that we had
Speaker 1: gotten rid of and took vain vaccines for it just happened. Statistically,
Speaker 1: if you look at that, every time that it is
Speaker 1: a voting year, some kind of disease comes out. Why.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's meant to deter people
Speaker 1: from going to the Poles. Honestly, well, they can keep.
Speaker 3: It over there. We went with a global warming. We
Speaker 3: had a in the past week we've had Alaska had
Speaker 3: a landslide, the Grand Canyons flooded, and then Iceland an
Speaker 3: ice cave collapsed because of the warmth. It had an
Speaker 3: American tourist inside. I mean, talk about scary, but there's
Speaker 3: no global warming. Climate isn't a big deal. We're not
Speaker 3: going to talk about climate. You know what I saw
Speaker 3: that I thought was really interesting because we talk about
Speaker 3: needing immigration reform and prison reform and police reform. I
Speaker 3: I caught an article while I was researching topics today
Speaker 3: about an Ohio prison that I thought it was worth
Speaker 3: talking about. And they're doing fine dining. So they had
Speaker 3: fifty or sixty citizens from the outside come. The prisoners
Speaker 3: grew the food. They had a chef that was on
Speaker 3: site that taught them how to cook, and they served
Speaker 3: the food to the people. Isn't that interesting? They could
Speaker 3: have learned skills.
Speaker 1: We all need to learn how to guard. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that is a good one, Bobby, And they could save money.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing that's.
Speaker 3: Good food instead of swill.
Speaker 1: I'd like to know how much those prisoners get paid,
Speaker 1: because the amount of money that you make in prisons
Speaker 1: is beyond slave labor.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they didn't make much. I mean, you're paying
Speaker 3: you for your room and board, probably, but it got
Speaker 3: you out of your out of your cell. You learn
Speaker 3: some skills. You got to eat something that's that's delicious
Speaker 3: and make something it's you know, it's I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think it's sort of it's sort of positive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, it is positive.
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, and I'd love to they said they had.
Speaker 3: It was the people were thrilled, like it was. Everybody
Speaker 3: the prison was happy. The people who came in the
Speaker 3: neighbors of the prison were happy. So I thought, oh,
Speaker 3: I wish that's the type of reform. Those are the
Speaker 3: kind of feel good, happy stories that we need. And
Speaker 3: I hope they made a few dollars. But if they have.
Speaker 1: To, and I see the big picture in that, Bobby,
Speaker 1: because you're right, they done. They could go work on
Speaker 1: the arm when they get that, or they could decide
Speaker 1: to you know, become a chef or work exactly. So
Speaker 1: I see the big and I think that if you
Speaker 1: have something to do positive in your life, whatever job,
Speaker 1: it is or whatever you have to look forward to
Speaker 1: that that makes you happy or enjoyable. You live longer,
Speaker 1: and you live happier you do.
Speaker 3: And you know what did your grandmother always say? Idle
Speaker 3: hands the you know, the devil's workshop. But it's the truth.
Speaker 3: So if you're doing something positive and you have something
Speaker 3: on the outside and a new group of friends maybe
Speaker 3: to hang with. I don't know, I don't know how
Speaker 3: all that works. I live in a bubble myself, but
Speaker 3: it's not a Dutch chop them. I don't have gas.
Speaker 1: Just say it, yes, ladies, and then I'm telling you
Speaker 1: it is. We're not doing a long show today because
Speaker 1: it's thirty. We want to get a show out and
Speaker 1: it just has not been an overwhelmingly blowout in politics
Speaker 1: this week. But hold your horses. Each and every week
Speaker 1: it changes, and I'm sure something is coming down the
Speaker 1: pipe now for next week. But what we want you
Speaker 1: guys to know is that we appreciate you. Please continue
Speaker 1: to send your ideas and send your stories and topics
Speaker 1: to add laugh Aline podcast page, because Bobby gets it.
Speaker 1: She will decipher it and pick and choose what she
Speaker 1: wants to bring to the show. And we discuss it,
Speaker 1: because this is a learning page and we don't just
Speaker 1: teach you guys, we learn from you all. Because here
Speaker 1: at laugh Aline, the motto has not changed and will
Speaker 1: not change that. We are not trying to get you
Speaker 1: to change your mind. We are only trying to get
Speaker 1: you to use your mind.
Speaker 3: Because why Bobby, Because a mind is a terrible thing
Speaker 3: to waste in a vote. And can we give a
Speaker 3: shout out in prayers to Mariah Carey for losing the
Speaker 3: mom and the guy.
Speaker 1: Yes, how ironic was that about? So when I heard
Speaker 1: the story, I thought that maybe they were in a
Speaker 1: car accident or something because they were together. But they
Speaker 1: just happened to both die on the same day.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine? I think, because they haven't told us
Speaker 3: why or how, but they Her comment was something like
Speaker 3: she was so lucky to be able to be with
Speaker 3: her mom, you know, during these days. So I'm guessing
Speaker 3: the mother was sick. I'm guessing, and you know, we'll
Speaker 3: hear the mother was eighty seven, so you know, Julliard
Speaker 3: trained opera singer. So can you imagine that that voice
Speaker 3: that's going away?
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 3: Anything about other than she was estranged from her sister Allison.
Speaker 3: So I know nothing about that, so I feel terrible.
Speaker 3: I have no idea. God bless it's gott to be
Speaker 3: what a loss.
Speaker 1: Yeah, praise to Mariah Carey and the family that he
Speaker 1: is said. I hope that my Nick Kenny show cod
Speaker 1: Game comes out soon. Speaking of mariak here because that's
Speaker 1: her excellent shoe come out. And we still haven't gotten
