Speaker 1: lady Marla Gibbs. She was so nice and so kind
Speaker 1: and still funny at one years young. Yeah, I'm actually

Speaker 1: I'm thirty years old. I said, well, you still got
Speaker 1: your time. And she was the cardinal sin and asked
Speaker 1: the black woman her age. You know, people get in
Speaker 1: trouble for that child as long as I asked long
Speaker 1: as she asked me my name, because I would really confused.
Speaker 1: I think she thought I was a girl. I wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna tell her no different I was. I was in
Speaker 1: my lady like oh Beverly Hills Housewives, the Beverly Hills
Speaker 1: meets house Husbands of Hollywood. I was a combo owner.
Speaker 1: It was nice and your auntie was so eloquent. Um, Auntie,
Speaker 1: it's Vnessa bell Callaway and she was between the nessa
Speaker 1: Belle Callaway on the microphone and Nisi Nash Bett's mother.
Speaker 1: That was the life of the party for me. Both
Speaker 1: of them were horiot to me on the mic they
Speaker 1: were the best. Yeah, they were funny and I didn't
Speaker 1: know that. Um, Jessica Betts could sing so well. She
Speaker 1: has a beautiful voice. Um, you know, that's very my
Speaker 1: type of I had as much money as this Nisy
Speaker 1: and more, a little bit more titties. Hey you be
Speaker 1: in trouble girl. She was very Jessica remember me from Chicago,
Speaker 1: And Uh, the only reason I probably didn't try to
Speaker 1: Matt two in Chicago because in Chicago she was a
Speaker 1: lot more girly. She was a lot more feminine. I
Speaker 1: just love the fact that they truly do love each other.
Speaker 1: The way that Jessica serenaded miss Nias nash Best was beautiful.
Speaker 1: So um And I know they didn't win necessarily their
Speaker 1: category on Tuesday, but just to talk about their careers
Speaker 1: and all their contributions and how they've helped all these
Speaker 1: young black women in Hollywood was really beautiful. So I'm
Speaker 1: glad they were celebrated on Sunday. It was It was
Speaker 1: really beautiful for them. Shout out to um, to William
Speaker 1: for putting the function together for them. He said he
Speaker 1: did that in what four days? It was and everybody
Speaker 1: was so pleasant. Sharon Leo was nice. You know, they
Speaker 1: came around to the table. We had some nice people
Speaker 1: at our table. So it was a nice function. So
Speaker 1: kudos to them. Surely did not win the award, but
Speaker 1: abde element you did snatch, so kudos and so that
Speaker 1: Um James is it James Willie Tyler what's his name?
Speaker 1: James Tyler Tyler, James and uh um quinck girl, I'm
Speaker 1: seeing the dress, but not her idea of her dress.
Speaker 1: Let me just say that I love Quinta Brunchon's dress
Speaker 1: because it was so such a cute dress. My favorite
Speaker 1: dress of all the award show last night was M
Speaker 1: M J. Rodriguez. I love that blue bowl and that
Speaker 1: worked because she is real thin. My wad ass that
Speaker 1: my hips would have been watter than that boat. I
Speaker 1: think there was actually, I would say among us, like
Speaker 1: the black folks with the golden gloves. I pretty much
Speaker 1: loved everybody's outfits. I think Angela Bassett looked very regal
Speaker 1: and beautiful. Um Jay Ellis's wife her um and I'm
Speaker 1: sorry to remember her name. But her dress was gorgeous
Speaker 1: as well. Quintin looked beautiful, Verne Cox look beautiful in
Speaker 1: her dress. Um, I don't really love the Vernie's hair
Speaker 1: though the dress. I liked the Verni's dress because it
Speaker 1: was it wasn't showing enough really no skin. I know
Speaker 1: sometimes she goes forward. But I loved that wig on her.
Speaker 1: I loved her hair. Yeah, I think she looked beautiful too.
Speaker 1: So um, but I know you gotta talk about it.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, what do you think of the host? You know,
Speaker 1: because you're the biggest critic, So who was the host?
Speaker 1: Did they have one show? Did they have a home?
Speaker 1: That's what I think about it. Did they have a host?
Speaker 1: That's what I think about I thought that as a
Speaker 1: responsible comedian that you're supposed to read the room for
Speaker 1: whatever arena you're working. And I thought that Gerard Comc
Speaker 1: was quite irresponsible as a comedian by not reading the room.
Speaker 1: I thought some of his stuff was cringe e uh,
Speaker 1: so many people in the audience and even at home
Speaker 1: what seemed to be uncomfable. I was very uncomfortable with
Speaker 1: some of his lingo and his language and the direction
Speaker 1: that he took at what I thought Lauren as a comedian,
Speaker 1: not more so than the host. When he started off
Speaker 1: with his material, even though some of them may have
Speaker 1: been factual. When he saw that it wasn't landing, Robert
Speaker 1: Frost says, the road not taken. He should have taken
Speaker 1: the other road as a responsible comedian. But the Twitter
Speaker 1: has told him, and he has gotten mixed reviews, but
Speaker 1: a lot more negative than positive. Some stuff just was
Speaker 1: not funny. It was that windy Houston joke was as
Speaker 1: bad as Kathy Griffin and the Donald Trump joke to meet.
Speaker 1: That was my opinion. But and then you were the
Speaker 1: one who reminded me that that's not even where when
Speaker 1: Houston past, that was a whole different venue. But it
Speaker 1: just it was the moment, and it just some of
Speaker 1: the people's faces in the audience were mortified. But another
Speaker 1: thing with the Golden Globes, they can actually drink wine,
Speaker 1: so a lot of them probably was bent. Well. I
Speaker 1: just feel like, um, well, a lot of people didn't
Speaker 1: even know who Gerard Carmichael was because I was looking
Speaker 1: at some of the comments. A lot of people didn't
Speaker 1: even know who he was. And the people that money
Speaker 1: and you know, he just for his special but still
Speaker 1: people still didn't know who he was in the comments though,
Speaker 1: which was interesting. But I just feel like some people
Speaker 1: had different expectations for him, like satirical comedy is like
Speaker 1: his thing, like he's he does comedic satire, so I
Speaker 1: feel like people expected something different from him, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: So when I saw what he was doing, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I expected this based on watching his special. So I
Speaker 1: will say that though the winning Houston joke was absolutely terrible,
Speaker 1: and I will give him kudos on this front, is
Speaker 1: that he did bring attention to the fact of how
Speaker 1: just racist the Golden Globe was, and it's interesting how
Speaker 1: they pivoted or did degree choice to make sure that
Speaker 1: they seemed inclusive this year because they didn't get any
Speaker 1: airtime last year. So I will give him kudos for that.
Speaker 1: But this might be the first and the last time
Speaker 1: he gets the host and award show, so we'll see.
Speaker 1: I thought think his mood was a little monotone. I
Speaker 1: thought he was a little flat and dry. And I
Speaker 1: think as the host and me and you have discussed
Speaker 1: this before, even when you first met me and hired me,
Speaker 1: I think the host has a great responsibility as far
Speaker 1: as carrying the weight of a show, especially if the
Speaker 1: show seems a little lack luster. Now, the show wasn't
Speaker 1: lack at all to me. I thought the Golden Globes
Speaker 1: is pretty good. Uh. I love some of the guests
Speaker 1: and some of the presenter's favorite out of everybody, of course,
Speaker 1: was Jennifer Coolish. Jennifer Coolise is just hilarious without even trying.
Speaker 1: That is funny to be. But it was over, you
Speaker 1: know about dry carmache because people saying like he was
Speaker 1: drying everything. I'm like, that's who he is, so like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what other people what people expected, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think it was the length
Speaker 1: that he used, and I just don't think it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, how they tried to take politics when when
Speaker 1: when Trump was the president and they didn't want people
Speaker 1: to speak politically at at other award shows. I think
Speaker 1: what he was doing with the pointing out the racism
Speaker 1: and point was just um may have been too much.
Speaker 1: But then I was informed by else that they may
Speaker 1: have scripted that for him. They may have wanted him
Speaker 1: to do that if the check was good, and it
Speaker 1: could have been self sabotaged. I don't know. Have been
Speaker 1: what they wanted. I wasn't there on the other on
Speaker 1: the side of it, as a participant or as an
Speaker 1: audience member or as watching the show. I didn't enjoy it,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't oulso didn't get to check. So I
Speaker 1: don't know what they paid him to do. But I
Speaker 1: was happy to MJ that that UM was Ryan m J.
Speaker 1: Rodriguez because they did not have the show last year,
Speaker 1: and she did win, the first trans woman ever to
Speaker 1: win Best Actress in the category. So I love that
Speaker 1: he had everyone stand up for her and acknowledge her.
Speaker 1: I thought that was powerful. I thought that spoke volumes
Speaker 1: about inclusion and acceptance in this arena. That was greatful.
Speaker 1: That was that was another And you know that's my girl.
Speaker 1: You know that's my baby. You know I know, And
Speaker 1: I just think, UM. I love that Ryan Murphy was
Speaker 1: acknowledged because he truly is. UM. He's almost like a
Speaker 1: genius level for me. He's just a brilliant mind and
Speaker 1: creates and tells so many really good stories. UM. And
Speaker 1: I also love that Eddie Murphy was on her too. Yes, Edie,
Speaker 1: Andie looks good and his wife is lovely too, But
Speaker 1: Eddie got his flowers. You know, you know, I love
Speaker 1: me some Beverly Hills cop Trading places forty eight hours,
Speaker 1: another forty eight hours. So I love that he was
Speaker 1: acknowledged last night too, And it was very funny respustion
Speaker 1: to to come on back, and I just need me
Speaker 1: some ore rescpution Likerbit. He talks about that movie, and
Speaker 1: he said he really had to take a seatback and
Speaker 1: reflecting his career, like what the hell he was doing
Speaker 1: when he after he made Dorbit because he thought it
Speaker 1: was just so terrible. Oh, he had a great time
Speaker 1: making uh nowhere behind he got his life. I gut
Speaker 1: he was having a good time with the costos and
Speaker 1: all on outfit. That was. That was a fun movie
Speaker 1: to me. I can do the nutting professor again too.
Speaker 1: I love the Grandmama bringing Grandmama. I don't need nobody
Speaker 1: about the Grandmama and the daddy argued at the dental table.
Speaker 1: That was funny to me. But yes, he kudos to Eddie,
Speaker 1: and Eddie broke his Eddie broke it up, and and
Speaker 1: so Eddie made a reference about the three things that
Speaker 1: would keep you in the business longevity and professoralism, your taxes, mind,
Speaker 1: your business and keep will with what at your m
Speaker 1: F and mouth. I thought that was hilarious and I
Speaker 1: love the way he did it because after he did
Speaker 1: it was a joke and he left off. He didn't
Speaker 1: embark on it and carry it on. It was it was,
Speaker 1: It was fun. It was great. Overall. I enjoyed the show.
Speaker 1: I just did not enjoy the host, not not not
Speaker 1: him last night. But I do mind you. I loved
Speaker 1: his stand up. I made a laugh about his time,
Speaker 1: but I did not enjoy him last night. Because hosting
Speaker 1: is one thing. End up, it's a whole another entity. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that that's that's That's all I'm saying. Stand up
Speaker 1: the host thing. You should be fun moved the room.
Speaker 1: You are. You are the driver of the bus or
Speaker 1: train when you when you're the host, you control the
Speaker 1: narrative of the energy, You control the fun in the room,
Speaker 1: You control all everything. But I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: he got away from him and I think he pushed
Speaker 1: it away from more than anybody else. But it was
Speaker 1: still a great show. Kudos to all the wines's, kudos
Speaker 1: to all the nominees. It was a good shot. You know,
Speaker 1: I'd like to see people dressed up and Brad Pitt
Speaker 1: was there, honey boo, and so was Quentin Tarantino. Quentin
Speaker 1: Tarantino called me, I want to be trained. Go ha ha,
Speaker 1: I thought you said, Gerin said. When I said, I tell,
Speaker 1: I'm saying for him to call me I want to
Speaker 1: be trained. Go. He had janego, I want to be trained.
Speaker 1: Gone the wild Wold whist You know they had trains
Speaker 1: women in the wild wild wis trains them everywhere. What
Speaker 1: do you mean? Mm? So yeah, that was that was
Speaker 1: a good show, good clothes all, Okay, where are we going?
Speaker 1: Log Um to a positive note, Um, I just I'm
Speaker 1: happy to see that smar Hamlin is doing much better. Um,
Speaker 1: which out of the hospital. He's back in New York. Um,
Speaker 1: and he's breathing on his own. And it doesn't it
Speaker 1: doesn't seem as if now that his um injury has
Speaker 1: been any serious, you know, detriment to his his neurological system.
Speaker 1: So if I'm glad to see that he's back, UM,
Speaker 1: prayer world and everybody was praying for that young man.
Speaker 1: Prayer works. I appreciate that. I'm glad he's back. I
Speaker 1: hope he makes a full recovery and get back to
Speaker 1: that football field and get his super Bowl ring. That's
Speaker 1: what he wants, that's what he deserved. Yeah, I hope
Speaker 1: that this doesn't. You know, trauma is real, So whatever
Speaker 1: he decides to do, you know, understandably, Um I did
Speaker 1: see that. The Pittsburgh Steelers, though this weekend, received a
Speaker 1: lot of backlash they I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 1: They have a celebration dance. It's a CPR simulation that
Speaker 1: they do every time, you know, they make a good
Speaker 1: player a touchdown. So they received a lot of backlash
Speaker 1: from being insensitive considering tomorrow Hamlond was just you know,
Speaker 1: basically had to be resustated on the field. So which, okay,
Speaker 1: so we're they doing this dance prior to him, Okay,
Speaker 1: get over it. Get over people. Well, you know, you
Speaker 1: gotta be culturally sensitive to things, considering you know, he
Speaker 1: almost had a near death, you know, injury happened to him.
Speaker 1: So I can understand people saying, you know, maybe this
Speaker 1: is just not the time to do that and be
Speaker 1: sensitive to your football brethren. Makes sense. I get that part, lord,
Speaker 1: But if they were doing it prior to and it
Speaker 1: wasn't directed at him, people just making way more out
Speaker 1: of other things. I e. Since we're talking about the
Speaker 1: cancel culture and the WoT culture doing all their food.
Speaker 1: Is Ron the Santis, your governor of Florida. My governor
Speaker 1: is Gavin Newsom. I don't know you're talking about. I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about you. I'm talking to all the floor
Speaker 1: Ridians that listen. You. Governor will not have any say
Speaker 1: so or any part in um in Florida. Well, as
Speaker 1: Simone Sanders said the night of the mid terms, you know,
Speaker 1: Florida is a real special so they can have it.
Speaker 1: Florida's real special and not any way. You know, I
Speaker 1: call him the many patent baby orders, real special and
Speaker 1: not in a good way. So they can have it.
Speaker 1: But if we're gonna just slide into the politics arena UM,
Speaker 1: we can start with good old George Santos, who just
Speaker 1: seems to be the popular Republican in the GOP right now.
Speaker 1: And not forbid? Is that is that the one is
Speaker 1: let me let me be clear. Is that the part
Speaker 1: from New York who said that he was Jewish, who
Speaker 1: said that his family survived survived the Holocaust, and he
Speaker 1: came over on the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria,
Speaker 1: I'm just making up last because he did it. I'm
Speaker 1: just confused as to how he was able to get
Speaker 1: some many lies out. Nobody did any research and he
Speaker 1: got elected because he has now admitted that he didn't
Speaker 1: graduate college, he didn't work on Wall Street or in
Speaker 1: private equity, he doesn't own property, and isn't Jewish, and
Speaker 1: all of these things he asserted in order to get
Speaker 1: voters and queens and Nasaw County to vote for him. Now,
Speaker 1: is that the irresponsibility of the person he was running
Speaker 1: against or the irresponsibility of the voters who didn't even
Speaker 1: take the time google both? Because say what you want
Speaker 1: I do. I'm not gonna sit up here and say
Speaker 1: I research every single candidate that I vote for. In
Speaker 1: those you know, smaller areas where we talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: you know somebody in Congressional District three or something like that.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I will just vote, you know, democratically, I will
Speaker 1: admit that, But for the things that I feel directly
Speaker 1: affect me, I'm gonna pay attention to who I'm voting for.
Speaker 1: So or do you just do some research and do
Speaker 1: a little bit of due diligence and who my candidates?
Speaker 1: If I don't know them. I may make a phone
Speaker 1: call and you know, you know, phone a friend or
Speaker 1: from phone a family member be like, hey, what do
Speaker 1: you know about this person? So just the fact that
Speaker 1: all of these lives were able to get in is
Speaker 1: just very baffling to me that nobody knew this until
Speaker 1: after now that he's gotten elected. So that is I
Speaker 1: would say it's white privilege, but he ain't even white.
Speaker 1: I think I think he's Latino. I don't know how
Speaker 1: he identifies, but his name indicates that he is of
Speaker 1: Latino descent. U that he indicates the exact same thing,
Speaker 1: because he is a little toasty, and that's not the
Speaker 1: well the Democrats are basically requesting. Um. The Ethics Panel
Speaker 1: investigates santos is now financial disclosures for possible violation of
Speaker 1: the Ethics and Government the Government Act, which requires officials
Speaker 1: to timely, accurately and completely submit reports. So basically, the
Speaker 1: report is saying that Mr santos Is financial disclosure reports
Speaker 1: in two are sparts are sparse and perplexing. UM. It says,
Speaker 1: at a minimum, it is apparent that he did not
Speaker 1: file timely disclosure reports for his most recent campaign, and moreover,
Speaker 1: he's his own public statements have contradicted some information included
Speaker 1: in financial disclosure and confirmed that the financial disclosure failed
Speaker 1: to disclose other required information. So supposedly what had happened.
Speaker 1: What this is saying is that he campaigned on behalf
Speaker 1: of another GOP person and he took said campaign funds
Speaker 1: to fund his own campaign, which is absolutely illegal. So um,
Speaker 1: now there's this whole ethics complaint that has been filed
Speaker 1: against him, So I guess we'll see what happens. But
Speaker 1: it seems that some of his fellow Republicans are asking
Speaker 1: him to resign. Yeah. I need the Democrats and the
Speaker 1: Republicans not to drag their feet on this, because if
Speaker 1: they don't make a plan example out of him publicly
Speaker 1: and fast, do you know how many other people will
Speaker 1: come up with bullcrap and last to run for all
Speaker 1: of his possibly getting all you have to do is
Speaker 1: a certain way we gotta Well, how about we start
Speaker 1: with the man who really set this emotion? Donald Trump?
Speaker 1: Donald Trump? You want to do it? If we don't
Speaker 1: really talk about it, well, he's still laying ain't no
Speaker 1: taxes being paid and they ain't nothing. So the catalyst,
Speaker 1: that's why you've got people like George Santos now. But
Speaker 1: because they drugged their feet with Donald Trump and they
Speaker 1: are still dragging their feet with ex President Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: it makes it look like it's okay for people to
Speaker 1: do it because they will get away with and they
Speaker 1: won't be vilified. For they may be realified, but they
Speaker 1: won't do no jail time because he ain't went to jail,
Speaker 1: he ain't lost anything. Yeah, he had lost anything. So
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. They need to make an example.
Speaker 1: They want to make an example out of us if
Speaker 1: we do something wrong immediately. They need to make an
Speaker 1: example out of him quickly and immediately. And I think
Speaker 1: I think, don't quote me, I'm just saying allegedly. I
Speaker 1: think I read somewhere, but they said that he was
Speaker 1: George Santis was part of the LGBT commim m hmm.
Speaker 1: That would be an interesting development. I'm like, well, that
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be a nice picture for that, because you
Speaker 1: know they label everything. If one do what they all
Speaker 1: do it speaking of interesting comparisons, because you just made
Speaker 1: me think of something. Um. Today it came down that
Speaker 1: Trump's former CFO and friend, dear friend, UM, Alan Weiselberg
Speaker 1: was convicted of tax fraud. Um, he will be going
Speaker 1: to prison for five months, and the hundreds of those
Speaker 1: first days will be spent in records Island, a whole
Speaker 1: five months. We'll see. And this is what I find
Speaker 1: so interesting because now I'm gonna do a comparison between
Speaker 1: Alan Weiselberg and let's just talk about the Chris LEAs. Okay, Now,
Speaker 1: supposedly Alan Weislberg's crimes are much more grave than what
Speaker 1: Todd and Julie Cristley did. But he's getting five months
Speaker 1: compared to the what is it in seven years that
Speaker 1: they're doing between the two, So it's nineteen years between
Speaker 1: the two of them that they have to serve in
Speaker 1: federal jail. So make it makes sense. I'm not a judge, lord,
Speaker 1: I'm not even on the jewelry. I don't know this.
Speaker 1: This is America, and America, this America does what she
Speaker 1: wants to do. Yeah, but it's just like, you commit
Speaker 1: over twenty years of tax fraud intentionally. UM, I think
Speaker 1: he had over like two million dollars in fines and
Speaker 1: you only go into jail for five months, and you
Speaker 1: spend on a hundred of those first days in rikers,
Speaker 1: which you know it's terrible because they talked about CALIFH.
Speaker 1: Browder too, and I know you're familiar with that story.
Speaker 1: He was in Rikers for over seven hundred days and
Speaker 1: eventually committed suicide because he was in solitary. Um, Alan
Speaker 1: Weiselberg is gonna be in the infirmary unit for safety
Speaker 1: and UM he's he's basically getting specialized treatment while he's
Speaker 1: in Rikers. And I understand that and as an ex
Speaker 1: con myself, Baby, from what I hear about Rikers, if
Speaker 1: they want to get you, they're gonna get you. I
Speaker 1: don't care where you go because you know that a
Speaker 1: lot of times and I'm not saying this about no
Speaker 1: one particular prison or jail system, but a lot of
Speaker 1: times the gods be in on it because the gods
Speaker 1: are just human beings that live in the real world,
Speaker 1: so they know what's going on out there. You never
Speaker 1: know what kind of been that. The sad part of
Speaker 1: the scariest part about being in jail is you have
Speaker 1: no control over what is going to happen to you
Speaker 1: because you don't know. You never know who is the
Speaker 1: conspiracy plot that's against you. They can tell him he
Speaker 1: going to the infirmary and then you know, as a
Speaker 1: as a civilian prisoner or a jail of civilian inmate,
Speaker 1: I can say, okay, I want to get to Lauren.
Speaker 1: So I could say, oh, I don't feel well, I
Speaker 1: need to walk myself, I need to go to the infirmary,
Speaker 1: I don't feel good, I'm throwing up or whatever. Baby.
Speaker 1: They can all two or three of them can do that.
Speaker 1: It is possible that they can get to them. It's
Speaker 1: very scary to be in jail. From what I hear
Speaker 1: about Rikers, this is one of the scariest jails in
Speaker 1: the country. So, uh, we don't know how that's gonna
Speaker 1: play out, but I hear you they do get because
Speaker 1: the because say what you want about Todd and Julie Crisley,
Speaker 1: they was advocating for their black grandchild, and Todd made
Speaker 1: a lot of public statements, you know, about the racism
Speaker 1: that she was experiencing and how he was going to
Speaker 1: support her and defend her. And you know they're treating them.
Speaker 1: They're treating them is if you know they're one of us,
Speaker 1: it's it's very interesting. But then you've got Alan my
Speaker 1: suburg over here, who's getting five months. So big money,
Speaker 1: long money gets your short time. But I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you something, five months and rakers can be like five
Speaker 1: hundred years. Let's hope. Piece of abs it. He a
Speaker 1: older guy too, and baby, you know it's it's hard
Speaker 1: if you ain't never been in jail. It's hard to
Speaker 1: jail if you, especially at that age, and jail ain't
Speaker 1: nothing like it used to be. These young knuckle heads
Speaker 1: is up in jail. They're running. So hopefully he'll be okay,
Speaker 1: I listened. Hopefully didn't he turn states evident on Trump? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he flipped on him, so he gets a lesser charge.
Speaker 1: That's also another very scary reason to be put in
Speaker 1: a situation where you have no control over what's going
Speaker 1: to happen to you. Because sometimes people's phone calls and
Speaker 1: reaches very long, they can reach you in jail, it
Speaker 1: can happen. Yeah, that's very scary, Lauren. I hope I
Speaker 1: I personally, on the personal note, I hope they dethrone.
Speaker 1: I d say de throne Santos, and I hope that
Speaker 1: he does jail time because had I done it, had
Speaker 1: I done it, that's just a regulative American textpan citizen,
Speaker 1: I would be all kind of in jails and everything else.
Speaker 1: I need them to make an example out of him.
Speaker 1: Major Well, continuing on with comparisons. UM, it came out
Speaker 1: I think probably two days ago that UM, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: as vice president left some classified documents, some top secret
Speaker 1: documents inside of it's I don't know if you call
Speaker 1: it a residence or just a place where he used
Speaker 1: to frequent a lot while he was vice president to
Speaker 1: Barack Obama. UM, these documents were found, his attorneys reached
Speaker 1: out to the archives, the National Archives. They came and
Speaker 1: picked up these documents, took them back. But supposedly now
Speaker 1: there's a second batch of documents that has been found, UM,
Speaker 1: which is very problematic. So of course the embarrassons is
Speaker 1: going to be of what Trump did now to what
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is doing. So I believe that I believe
Speaker 1: that they knew about this long before now, but they
Speaker 1: was holding this until they see if Joe Biden decides
Speaker 1: that he's going to run for a second term or not.
Speaker 1: I believe it's all. You know, it's a conspiracy theory,
Speaker 1: you know, my man and UM, and I think that's
Speaker 1: why I was dripping. I think Trump is probably the
Speaker 1: steamroller behind it because he wants to run, and h
Speaker 1: he's he's already put his head in the ring to run.
Speaker 1: I think they just trying to make Joe Biden look
Speaker 1: as bad as possible, and people don't think what they
Speaker 1: want to think and go with what they want to go.
Speaker 1: In the words of the great poet Eddie Merphan Manu Beast,
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think it's no detrimental, detrimental paperwork,
Speaker 1: and I know that he made a mistake, and we
Speaker 1: all do. They only bringing this up now because they're
Speaker 1: afraid that he's going to run for a second term
Speaker 1: and possibly will you. I think that if all of
Speaker 1: this is actually true, it's not a good look because
Speaker 1: technically Joe Biden and followed proper protocol, but he forgot
Speaker 1: two are years old. He forgot. That's gonna be my excuse.
Speaker 1: He forgot he had taken his memory medication. He forgot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And while it's very clear we all hate Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: but I just hope that uh, the mishandling of some
Speaker 1: of these top secret documents you know about foreign governments
Speaker 1: and locations, you know, he I don't know. That's it's
Speaker 1: so scary because North Korea has already released a couple
Speaker 1: of missiles or that made it to the US coastline. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not safe anywhere. And speaking of international craziness, Uh,
Speaker 1: the Brazilians had their own little insurrection the other day.
Speaker 1: They had a January to six. They had a whole
Speaker 1: January the six the Brazilians did yesterday. Not to help
Speaker 1: me break it down a little until our listeners and
Speaker 1: I follow us out there if laugh and learning. Now
Speaker 1: what did their government do well? The main difference between
Speaker 1: their insurrection and ours. When they stormed their capital, they
Speaker 1: were let out in handcuffs, they were arrested immediately. It
Speaker 1: was over. I think at least over a thousand people. Um.
Speaker 1: But because Brazil attempted a whole coop and um it
Speaker 1: was thwarted by decisive action by their prime minister. But um, yeah,
Speaker 1: basically they followed America's lead, but their consequences were very
Speaker 1: different than ours. I've been so far so and we
Speaker 1: are the greatest and richest country posts supposedly in the world.
Speaker 1: Got to be kis come on Brazil, attack, attack, attack,
Speaker 1: So um, long story short, just give a quick breakdown.
Speaker 1: So it says at least people have been detained after
Speaker 1: Sunday's riots by supporters of far right former president Um
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say his last thing was not apprensimer um Bulsonaro.
Speaker 1: According to Brazil's Justice Ministry, the violence violence in Brazil
Speaker 1: at the capital was the most significant threat to democracy
Speaker 1: in Latin America's largest nation since nineteen sixty four. Is
Speaker 1: military coup. Jesus. Just the world is just everything is
Speaker 1: just so scary. It's just crazy. But it's interesting because
Speaker 1: they led this coup after their new president, Lula was
Speaker 1: actually sworn in, So they did their coup after the fact.
Speaker 1: You know, January six happened before all of the electual
Speaker 1: Electoral College votes have been solidified. So it's interesting to
Speaker 1: see stop the stealing. They wanted to stop to steal,
Speaker 1: but it was stolen after look that it was stolen before.
Speaker 1: But apparently both Snaro and Trump have a lot of
Speaker 1: close ties between the two. So Trump is gangster. Let
Speaker 1: me just say that Trump, Trump and Trump has so
Speaker 1: many different Trump was a businessman long before he would
Speaker 1: ever be jumped into politics. Because I ain't gonna never
Speaker 1: give him the title of a politician. He was never
Speaker 1: a politician, but he was a businessman before he jumped
Speaker 1: into bid with politics, and he was a businessman on
Speaker 1: the Democratic, Independent and Republican side. I'm sure he knows
Speaker 1: many stories and where many of the bodies are being
Speaker 1: I think that's why people are secretly afraid to go
Speaker 1: after him, because they know too much or what he
Speaker 1: knows too much, and he might and his daddy were
Speaker 1: too and his dad too, so he might cut the
Speaker 1: chord and unleashed the beasts. And people are petrified to
Speaker 1: lose that situation, lose their jobs, lose their their their status. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the far right are acting out internationally now. I
Speaker 1: know that's probably a new feat for them. So with
Speaker 1: this new House GOP that we now have over here
Speaker 1: back in the United States and Congress and all of
Speaker 1: these new committees that they're trying to form, and Kevin
Speaker 1: McCarthy having to make all these concessions to get his
Speaker 1: little gabble and basically, you know, some of these new
Speaker 1: congressional leaders in the House are going to ultimately, it seems,
Speaker 1: put some of America's security at risks. So I don't
Speaker 1: know what these next two years are gonna look like.
Speaker 1: Thank god, we've got, you know, a Democratic center and
Speaker 1: the next Democratic president at least until um. But I
Speaker 1: don't know where we're head at this point. It's a little,
Speaker 1: a little scary. Yeah, American, US, Americans imperiled. We've been
Speaker 1: in peril since Ali of the North and the Raging
Speaker 1: years when they sold arms to our enemies. You so
Speaker 1: I same weapons of mass destructure that people who didn't
Speaker 1: like us. Baby, let me chase something we've been in
