They're they're, they're, they're, 53 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 2: they have their haves. Let me talk slower. There have 54 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: been some bad fires. I think we covered it last 55 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: year the year, you know, on front page news. You know, 56 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: it's been some pretty deadly fires for sure, But this one, 57 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: this wind that's just blowing it all the way through, 58 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: this is hitting different.

I'm really concerned, guys, 65 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 2: because I'm concerned the people are inhaling. You know all 66 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: of this. This is certainly going to be a medical crisis. 67 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: So before we get into this, Jade, give us the 68 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: rundown on the details on what's actually happening in l A. 69 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: Yes, so, as far as we know, so far, there 70 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 3: have been at least five people, unfortunately, that have died, 71 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: and perhaps more. Governor Gavin Newsom told CNN that there 72 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: are six different winds, six different winds that are driving 73 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 3: these fires, and they're blazing across Los Angeles County and 74 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 3: more than one hundred and fifty thousand people are under 75 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 3: evacuation orders. We know that so far, this is the 76 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 3: most destructive fire in LA history. Areas that are seaside, 77 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 3: such as between Malibu and Santa Monica, they have you know, 78 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: been decimated by fires so far. They're saying at least 79 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 3: fifteen thousand acres had been burned in that area and 80 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: it has destroyed at least one thousand structures. And this 81 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 3: is definitely an insurance nightmare. They're saying that of course, 82 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: the air quality is bad. So even if you're not 83 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 3: in the hills, if you're in other parts of Los Angeles, 84 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 3: such as like Compton, in different places, the air quality 85 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 3: is bad. It's just like a big smog in the air. 86 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: You can't even see the sun during the daytime. And 87 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 3: most recently another fire, were set of wildfires, has sparked 88 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 3: in a different area surrounding the other ones. So these 89 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 3: winds are over like one hundred miles per hour that 90 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: are pushing and spreading the embers and it's making the 91 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 3: fire spread. So we see that entire business districts and 92 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 3: people's homes and things are completely destroyed. Now, interestingly, Teslain 93 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 3: and Marcellus, we do know that Mayor Karen Bass, the 94 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 3: mayor of La Karen Bass, last year she cut the 95 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: fire budget to prioritize the homelessness crisis in LA and 96 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 3: so according to Rapports, it says that there was a 97 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: budget of over seventeen million dollars for the twenty four 98 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: to twenty five twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five 99 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 3: featchool year. That's dropped down from eight hundred and thirty 100 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 3: seven million dollars to eight hundred and nineteen million dollars, 101 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 3: and that their baths had initially proposed a twenty twenty 102 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: three million dollar cut. So well, I mean, Paul's right there. 103 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 3: They was on her head about See this is the 104 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 3: whole thing. 105 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: What do we know about California Republicans kept saying over no, 106 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 2: and I'm not making excuses, I'm just saying it is 107 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 2: what it is. Were they not only about homelessness, homeless homeless? 108 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 2: There is pepally a homelessness crisis in LK. And you 109 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: can't just pull this money out your ass. I mean, 110 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: something has to get cut. It's unfortunate because we know 111 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 2: that fires are you know, a real thing. But I 112 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 2: know she wasn't anticipating this either, No, not at all. 113 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 3: And guess what in twenty twenty three. This is to 114 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: contrast those other stats. In twenty twenty, between the twenty 115 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 3: twenty three and twenty two twenty four feet school year, 116 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 3: LA's homelessness budget was one point three billion dollars, which 117 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 3: is nearly sixty five percent larger than the fire department's budget. However, 118 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 3: a report from the city comptroller revealed that about half 119 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: of the homelessness budget went unspent, so there was pressure 120 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: for her, I know, like to your point testiment to 121 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: deal with the homelessness issue. Now, how those funds were 122 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: allocated and what was actually enacted, I don't you know, 123 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 3: I don't know, But we do know that according to 124 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: reports in my research that I've been seeing about the 125 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 3: Los Angeles fires happening now, it seems like Mayor Karen 126 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: bass is being skateegoaded because that fire budget, that fire 127 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: department budget was cut, right, so we have to really 128 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 3: look and see how this plays out. 129 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: We also know that President Joe. 130 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: Biden and Governor Gavin Newsom did a joint appearance in 131 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 3: the media, and Biden didn't really take any questions. He 132 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: didn't take any questions from reporters about the budget, about 133 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 3: these wildfires and about this crisis, but he did shift 134 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: the conversation to highlight that he is a great grandfather 135 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: and that rubs people. 136 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, because it was unnecessary, but you can better believe 137 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: Trump And THENM gonna jump on and see, guys, this 138 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: is not me praising Trump. You know, every time I 139 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: try to get I'm just telling you what it is. 140 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: They are just better at this messaging thing. They create 141 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 2: their own narrative and they run with it. I'm looking 142 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: at all the articles about Trump blaming new Sum, blaming Biden, 143 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: blaming it, and Democrats just don't know how to fight back. 144 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: They're gonna take it. They're always campaigning. I know people 145 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: say they don't need to do this, this is not 146 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: the time of politics. It's always a time of politics. 147 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: And Trump's mind always they're always gonna take a moment 148 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: to kick you while you're down, make you take blame 149 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: for whether it is or isn't. And Democrats just always 150 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 2: find themselves playing offense, playing defense every time. You can 151 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: better believe Trump and about the I'm looking at all 152 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: the articles well saying blaming, blaming Biden, blaming Bike, definitely 153 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: blaming Biden. Also, Marcellus, did you I don't know if 154 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: y'all are aware that Governor Newsom and President Biden did 155 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: sign a disaster declaration in response to the wildfires, and 156 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: that Biden expressed his administration's commitment to providing all necessary 157 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: resources to fight the fires. Now, Trump's criticism of Newsome. 158 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: First of all, Trump is so petty. He called the 159 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: governor new scum. 160 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: Did y'all see that right? So he criticized him for 161 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: his stance on the water distribution. So they're saying that 162 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: there are massive water shortages in Los Angeles and there's 163 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: like insufficient water supply to even fight these fires, and 164 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 3: something needs. 165 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 2: To and he's also blaming news and he said this 166 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 2: is what he said. He said Newsom wanted to protect 167 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: an essentially worthless fish called they smelt by giving it 168 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 2: less water.

Of course. Nuisances response 175 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 2: is Trump is playing politics, right, It's always playing politics. 176 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 2: Everything is politics.

She say bad built body, butcher whatever. 191 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: She's like that. That's the way y'all gotta fight because 192 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: this other way ain't cougnant. 193 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm really concerned that State Farm they canceled 194 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 3: hundreds of homeowners policies in California in the Pacific Palisades 195 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 3: where the wildfires are, canceled their fire policies in other 196 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 3: areas in the summer of twenty twenty four months before 197 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 3: these wildfires have started in southern California, and so State 198 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 3: Farm stated that it made these cancelations to avoid financial 199 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: instability as wildfire risks grow. So you have so many 200 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 3: people who are impacted by wildfires, right now who have 201 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: evacuated or you know, unfortunately have lost their homes that 202 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: don't have coverage. So the cancelation affected one six hundred 203 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 3: homes and the Pacific Palisades alone. Statewide, seventy two thousand 204 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 3: policies were canceled, thirty thousand policies of which were homeowners policies. 205 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 3: The zip codes and you know, you all can go 206 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 3: online for everyone who's listening, just go online and look 207 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 3: up your zip code, especially if you're in California, if 208 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 3: you're having relatives there, to see which zip closing areas 209 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 3: were impacted by this. And so as of January twenty 210 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 3: twenty five, the wildfires and Pacific Palisades eating Kenya and 211 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: Hearst areas have burned thousands of acres. So it's really 212 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: crazy that insurance. Excuse me that California has this insurance crisis. 213 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: And as a homeowner, Teslan, I know you know how 214 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: important homeownership is. I just wanted to sort of get 215 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: y'all's take on this, like to be a homeowner and 216 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: to have policies and it's just canceled like for wildfire 217 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: eras when you live in an area. 218 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 2: For this, this is just to me it's unethical. 219 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: I'm surprised that's actually even legal. 220 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, what you mean again, this is what you 221 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: can Yeah, they do what they want to do. This 222 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: is called private insurance. This is why I hate to 223 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 2: say this, it's gonna sound really cold, but this is 224 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 2: why you had somebody assassinate the CEO the insurance because 225 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: of this type of stuff. This type of stuff where 226 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: people like they at a lost calls and they don't 227 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: have anything else, the type of games that insurance companies play. 228 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 2: My homeowner's insurance just got canceled, you know because again 229 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: my my renters, my homes that I own that i've 230 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: rent out, are in Oklahoma, and they tied the pampanties hailstorms. 231 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 2: So farmers just say, you know what, We're just not 232 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 2: going to offer the policies anymore. That's what happens. And 233 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: hell you mean yes, uh huh helstorms. Yeah, that's how 234 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 2: Oh though, that's how I go. They don't want to 235 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: hear about what Marcel talking about. Go find a union 236 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 2: to join, because yeah, don't work out that. 237 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 3: Like California does have the Fair Plan, which is a 238 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 3: state back inshore for last resort, and they've seen a 239 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 3: significant increase in policies. So there is the California Fair 240 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: Plan Fair Plan, and they have a total of about 241 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 3: four hundred and fifty two thousand policies that they're giving 242 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 3: out to people. And so State Farms tried to justify this, 243 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: and in a letter to California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara, 244 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: State Farms CEO Denise Harden explained the need to cut 245 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 3: coverage to match the company's available capital, claiming that rate 246 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: hikes alone would not be sufficient to address the increasing 247 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 3: financial risk posed by frequent wildfires. 248 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: Wow, people who are losing. 249 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: Their homes right now or at risk of such, don't 250 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 3: want to hear all of this. 251 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 2: Listen. 252 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 3: I don't know much about Tesla's. Do y'all know much 253 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 3: about Tesla's. I know that they're saying that teslas have 254 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 3: a feature that you can go inside and press a 255 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 3: biohazard protection button. I think that's what it's called, and 256 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: it prevents like hazardous air from coming into your vehicle. 257 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 3: So a lot of folks in California who have these 258 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 3: Teslas and these cyber trucks are going in there and 259 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 3: they're sheltering in place within their vehicles, and they're putting 260 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 3: their feature on and so they're in each. 261 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: Ain't working with all this.

Would it still be what it is? 335 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: Though? 336 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 2: I believe so even if the budget still you can 337 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 2: control what's happening. They're still going to get it taken 338 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 2: care of. They're gonna deplay an emergency like I'm sure 339 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 2: they've already done by now. And it is what it is. 340 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: But politics is about finding your weakness and stomping on it. Yeah, 341 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 2: politics is. It doesn't matter if it's true or not true, marselves, 342 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 2: it's about, hey, y'all cut the budget. We getting ready. 343 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: Let everybody know, y'all cut the budget, knowing damn well, 344 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 2: even if the budget was there, the fire still was 345 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 2: gonna happen. They still weren't gonna have enough resources. They 346 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 2: still gonna have to call in the federal government, because 347 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 2: that's the federal government is a safety net. They know 348 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 2: all of this, but they play politics better than y'all Democrats, 349 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 2: So y'all better get to figure it out how to 350 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: do it just like them, and find every bit of 351 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 2: their weakness and blow it out of proportion. Donald Trump 352 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 2: gonna beat him to the punch every time, because that's 353 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 2: what he does. He doesn't care about time me, not 354 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 2: the right time, not the right place. It's a time 355 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 2: and place for everything under the sun. He don't go 356 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: by none of those rules. Their job is to pounce 357 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: and pounce and pounce. They are the ones that will 358 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 2: get up at the funeral and tell the truth even 359 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 2: if it ain't the truth. That's what they do. Democrats say, 360 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: this ain't the time and the place. Why don't you wait? UNTI, No, 361 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 2: that's what it is. 362 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: Trump aka the Bigginess. 363 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 2: That's it, the biggest that ever lived, showing you in 364 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: real time it taplin don that flon done.

Yet why are we not talking about the 372 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: big races that are coming up in twenty twenty five? 373 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: The governor races.

Where's the big 376 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 2: role at the Democrats are doing to compete in the 377 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 2: digital space? Where's their true social They ain't learn nothing 378 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: from this, but you'all talking about handshake gate and who 379 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: don't shake your hand? I don't want to shake your 380 00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 2: punk ass hand? 381 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 3: Why? 382 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: I said, why would I want to shake your hand? 383 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: You don't like me, and I don't like you. 384 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 2: And I and I'm fine with it. 385 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 3: I saw the video and I was like, you know what, 386 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 3: I've totally done that to several people before, Like, nah, 387 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 3: sound good. 388 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: So just for folks, just to give you a refresher. 389 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 3: During the swearing in ceremony of Senator Deb Fisher, she's 390 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 3: a Republican out of Nebraska for her third term in 391 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 3: the US Senate, her husband, Bruce Fisher, refused to shake 392 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 3: hands with Vice President Kamala Harris in an awkward moment. 393 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 3: Of course, went viral and everyone's talking about it. And 394 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 3: so the interesting thing is that, I mean, I saw 395 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 3: that that facial expression that VP Harris made. She was like, okay, 396 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 3: you know, it was it was very very awkward, right, 397 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 3: you know, she was like, it's okay, I want to bite. 398 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 3: I'm not going to bite. Don't worry. So that's that's 399 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: what she said to reassure him, trying to make a 400 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 3: lighthearted comment. But yeah, so interestingly, y'are maga. Folks are online, 401 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 3: of course defending that Fisher's husband after he and right, 402 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: it's right, and so they're saying that he was holding 403 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 3: the cane. He's disable and so you know, maybe that's 404 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 3: the reason why. 405 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,959 Speaker 2: Because I actually do bite, I actually do bite. You 406 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 2: did I bite for fun? I'm like, Mike Tyson, you 407 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 2: did the right thing. Keep your hand back. I mean, 408 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 2: I'll be doing this sots why I can't be elected 409 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 2: nowhere y'all because I'll be having he was looking for 410 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: a viral moment. Let me get you, I actually do bite. 411 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: You did the right thing. 412 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, mega mega Mega's claiming he couldn't shake hands 413 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 3: with her doing to holding the Bible and the cane. 414 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 3: And they criticize Harris VP of Harris for offering her 415 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: hand while he with. 416 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 2: Everybody else she sugar, everybody else handing out. I just don't. 417 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 2: I'm just sick of Democrats on the other side crying 418 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 2: about it. Oh god, look at what they did.
