Speaker 4: I've been out working, Bobby.
Speaker 3: I did a show last night at the Miracle Theater
Speaker 3: for my boy Chris Spincer's birthday. So many celebrities, so
Speaker 3: many big wigs in the building, and I did push,
Speaker 3: laugh and learn. So hopefully we're gonna get some new
Speaker 3: fans because I told them it was all political, and
Speaker 3: I hit them with We were so many people that
Speaker 3: were there because there's a church in the city of
Speaker 3: Altadena here, so they were raising money for the church.
Speaker 3: Last night, fifty people at the church lost their homes
Speaker 3: in Altadena. There's a bigger church in there, but fifty
Speaker 3: of those congregation congressional members of congregation members lost their
Speaker 3: their home. So we were talking. I was I told
Speaker 3: you know, I told them I'm sorry about Woo woo,
Speaker 3: I said, but y'all need to understand how important sports
Speaker 3: are in this country. Because your house ain't burned down
Speaker 3: on it's all. The Olympics is coming here in three years.
Speaker 3: The whole audience flat, lamb Bobby, I sucked all the
Speaker 3: other room. One lady stood on a side clapping. Now
Speaker 3: today all the conspiracy theorists are all on TikTok and
Speaker 3: all on Instagram and Facebook talking about what's coming in
Speaker 3: three years and moo woo and bringing up all and
Speaker 3: it's not like I knew anything, and I may not
Speaker 3: even be right. This is all allegedly, ladies, Remember that
Speaker 3: this is It's just that I'm sitting here and I'm
Speaker 3: looking at how things are being dismantled, even including with
Speaker 3: this new ministration coming in and blocking all these rights
Speaker 3: for transgender people. My people blocking all of these rights
Speaker 3: for transgender people. And I'm gonna go back to again
Speaker 3: when I see it. We've been used as a trans woman.
Speaker 3: I've been using women's bathroom for forty years. Sometimes they
Speaker 3: make up, sometimes out nobody said nothing, Yeah, somebody. We've
Speaker 3: been doing drag shows in front the kids at the
Speaker 3: brunches for twenty years. It was it was a lot
Speaker 3: of people talking about it, but it wasn't that big
Speaker 3: a deal. But when the trans athletes, when they trans
Speaker 3: they're going to get in sports, they made it a
Speaker 3: big deal. They canceling everything. Sports dominates a lot in
Speaker 3: this country because it brings billions and billions of dollars
Speaker 3: to this country. So y'all have to remember that sports
Speaker 3: out waylike sometimes and that's all allegedly, but you better
Speaker 3: pay attention to what it is. Because that fire was
Speaker 3: severe and so crazy and so many people are displaced.
Speaker 4: It's still that was people.
Speaker 3: The animals here they only have like twenty seven cent contained.
Speaker 3: But we think about you know, you lost your house,
Speaker 3: you lost your treasures, you lost your memories, but you
Speaker 3: don't think about the animals.
Speaker 4: And up and there they had. Those people had horses.
Speaker 3: They had sheep, They had dogs and cats so plenty,
Speaker 3: and they when they watch it on the news here,
Speaker 3: they're just showing them shipping off dogs and cats to
Speaker 3: shelters all over the.
Speaker 4: Count We have.
Speaker 3: I'm hereby and you and I are both very much
Speaker 3: pet lovers. If I had the resources, I probably would
Speaker 3: get all of them, the dogs.
Speaker 2: I'd be a crazy dog person myself. If I wasn't
Speaker 2: living with my mother. My mother complains about my dog's hair,
Speaker 2: never mind other dogs. But they and they look so
Speaker 2: broken when they show the pictures. They're so sad because
Speaker 2: they're without there they're you know, masters or people, mom, dad, whatever,
Speaker 2: they're with the people that they trust, and no, they're.
Speaker 4: Human, that's they're not with. They're human. You know where
Speaker 4: they're human. There are fur babies and we're they're humans.
Speaker 2: And then they just look like just terrified. So I
Speaker 2: don't know if I think those are going to be
Speaker 2: a lot of damage. Just like the kids that have
Speaker 2: been involved in it'll probably have a little PTSD. I
Speaker 2: think those poor animals are going to have a little
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 3: Of it, some of the stuff of Bobby with that story,
Speaker 3: you story because you and you and I both watched
Speaker 3: the news where the man came after five days and
Speaker 3: screaming for his dog and his dog came running and
Speaker 3: it was so heart warming. You guys got a google it.
Speaker 3: I don't know who was screaming him on the.
Speaker 2: Dog a mess like and the end the dogs like,
Speaker 2: son of a bitch, you left me, look at me
Speaker 2: because he was like one of those little poopy dogs.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, a.
Speaker 3: Baby will if you, if you were in a bad place,
Speaker 3: or if you're a little discouraging you, please google that
Speaker 3: and just look at it. It will warm your heart
Speaker 3: and put a smile on your face. It was so beautiful.
Speaker 3: That dog was so happy to see his owner, and
Speaker 3: the owner was so happy to see his dog.
Speaker 2: The guilt to go without it, I can imagine, like
Speaker 2: if I ever left mine behind, you had to leave
Speaker 2: it behind. I just kind of imagine that the guilt
Speaker 2: that he must have had so to see that the
Speaker 2: dog was okay. Oh, it was just his relief. He
Speaker 2: sounded like the dog. He was like baying or wailing
Speaker 2: or something. I don't know what he was doing, but
Speaker 2: my god, and he had me crying. I was on
Speaker 2: the ground. Any of that stuff. Whenever I'm watching it,
Speaker 2: I'm sob And I saw a jay leno feeding the
Speaker 2: firefighters to give him a hot meal. He said, they
Speaker 2: have plenty of like box lunches, but I want to
Speaker 2: he goes. I took twenty one thousand dollars, can you imagine,
Speaker 2: and bought some ribs and some hot food, and then
Speaker 2: went out with his grill and had a little bit
Speaker 2: of help and was serving the people, and I thought,
Speaker 2: that's terrific. You see Snoop Dogg is doing the same.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel's doing the same. Bethany Frank will always.
Speaker 3: Can we just say, can we just say hats off
Speaker 3: to all of not only the American firefighters, we have
Speaker 3: had help come in from Mexico from prison.
Speaker 4: Yeah, from the prisoners. Thank you all, thank you.
Speaker 3: I'm not even affected by the fire for Dan, but
Speaker 3: thank you all so much for just stepping in and
Speaker 3: stepping up and trying to help people. Because some of
Speaker 3: the stories. Some of those people had been in their
Speaker 3: homes fifty sixty years.
Speaker 4: And do you know every.
Speaker 3: Little every little hole in the wall, every little nail,
Speaker 3: every little nook and cranny, you know.
Speaker 4: My son measurement. Yeah, the height, it's so y'all, y'all
Speaker 4: really don't know.
Speaker 3: It's just it's terrible to think that this was deliberately done.
Speaker 3: It's even more horrific. But stay strong, be encouraged. And Bobby,
Speaker 3: he was about to sell us something else.
Speaker 2: It was all about the fire. It was one was
Speaker 2: the community. Something that I'm not liking seeing is everybody
Speaker 2: that wants to have baths and Newsom's head on a platter,
Speaker 2: you know, and especially from the new administration, which I'm
Speaker 2: disappointed if Trump wants to go down as being, you know,
Speaker 2: a great president. They're always unifiers and picking when a
Speaker 2: city or a person is stuck in a crisis, you
Speaker 2: always try to get them to the crisis first. So
Speaker 2: I think it's way too early. We'll see. Yes, seventeen
Speaker 2: million was cut out of the budget last year for
Speaker 2: the firefighters. It was funny, I heard Dennis Leary. It
Speaker 2: was from Boston. He's from the Woosta area and his
Speaker 2: family is surrounded by fireman. He lost a cousin and
Speaker 2: a childhood friend back like twenty five years ago. He
Speaker 2: started a foundation and he helps fund and uh for
Speaker 2: firefighting equipment and training and blah blah blah blah. And
Speaker 2: he said, you know, it's funny. It's easy to cut
Speaker 2: for the firefighters because you know, he said, teachers, they'll
Speaker 2: go on strike, the other people that are within the town,
Speaker 2: they'll go on strike, But the firefighters won't. They'll stay
Speaker 2: and even if they're not getting the money, they'll stay
Speaker 2: and they'll save the people. So they're always the first
Speaker 2: people that that that we actually cut from. He goes
Speaker 2: in strangely enough, and I didn't know this, so he
Speaker 2: was on the view he was talking about it, and
Speaker 2: I said, that's interesting. The mechanics were one of the
Speaker 2: first to be laid off out of that that that
Speaker 2: budget cut. He said, And what happens when your mechanics
Speaker 2: are laid off? All of your equipment that you need
Speaker 2: up and running, especially the old stuff because you can't
Speaker 2: afford new staff. It's just sitting in their yards. So
Speaker 2: people complaining there weren't enough, No, there wasn't enough equipment,
Speaker 2: not men, equipment, So maybe you know, people need to
Speaker 2: people need to look at that.
Speaker 4: Well. First of all, Bobby, thank you for bringing that up.
Speaker 3: I absolutely adore Careen, Mayor Mayor Karen Bass and Governor
Speaker 3: Gavin news of the state of California and the City
Speaker 3: of Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: And they were doing as they were told.
Speaker 3: Y'all, y'all keep thinking that it's they are They are
Speaker 3: in a position, but they are not the powers their
Speaker 3: rule and make the decase. Y'all need to know that
Speaker 3: everybody has a boss. Everybody is doing what they're told
Speaker 3: to keep their job.
Speaker 2: The people they want the money, they want a bunch
Speaker 2: of cut. Where do you cut it from and that's
Speaker 2: what happened. What's happening just now on on? You know,
Speaker 2: I love me some Cuomo. I can't think of the name.
Speaker 2: It's the million dollar listings that are out there. He's like,
Speaker 2: like of some sort of Armenian dissent or something. Anybody.
Speaker 2: He was on and he said something I never thought
Speaker 2: I would see. He said, it's price gouging. He said,
Speaker 2: I have almost won't stop, he said, ringing just for rentals,
Speaker 2: because everybody has to start. He goes, They're on enough
Speaker 2: build I have no where to put, he says, And
Speaker 2: even though so Cuomo brought up that you can't go
Speaker 2: above ten percent. It's the law, he said, who's going
Speaker 2: to enforce it? He said, that is the way it's going.
Speaker 3: Oh well, they're here down here now trying to enforce
Speaker 3: the love of Bobby. Hear me when I tell you
Speaker 3: that a fourteen hundred dollars one bedroom now not even
Speaker 3: in the best.
Speaker 4: Neighborhood, are up to five and six.
Speaker 2: Thousands, he said, I'm talking about crazy the hood for
Speaker 2: some people. He goes, you know, I have kind of
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of the way he worded it
Speaker 2: like he has a bougie client towel. He says, an
Speaker 2: I can't even place them there. He goes in one
Speaker 2: bedroom and they're used to like four bedrooms, but they
Speaker 2: need to lay their kids' bodies somewhere, you know, if they're.
Speaker 4: All on one floor.
Speaker 2: He goes, they need some sort of normalcy. You can't
Speaker 2: stay in a hotel and the expense of the hotel,
Speaker 2: you know. President Biden came out because the female law,
Speaker 2: this is what it is. He immediately released the seven
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy dollars that everybody gets because you're only
Speaker 2: supposed to be out, like, you know, a day or two,
Speaker 2: so we want you to have the pampers and the medication.
Speaker 2: It's not him, it's the government. So he released that.
Speaker 2: But that's not he said, the hotel sockouging. You know,
Speaker 2: so those those prices, you're not even going to get
Speaker 2: your panthers and your medication and a hotel room with
Speaker 2: that like you're supposed to.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 3: It is unbelievable and barbaric that they are treating people
Speaker 3: like that. These people are in dire straits, right, and
Speaker 3: nobody knows nobody else's finances because it can look good
Speaker 3: on the outside.
Speaker 4: But on the other side.
Speaker 3: People could be broke, like you could be what's the
Speaker 3: word cast poor, house rich and cash poor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah. And if you're somebody Sometimes these younger kids,
Speaker 2: I know I would have when I was younger, you
Speaker 2: overextend yourself a little bit because you're like, it's going
Speaker 2: to get better. I'm going to get a better job,
Speaker 2: and yet it might not have you know who, people
Speaker 2: aren't aren't even thinking about. There were multiple senior assistant
Speaker 2: living homes. Where are these people going? You know, people
Speaker 2: who have to be unlocked on locked floors so they're
Speaker 2: kept safe, seniors or seniors that don't have family that
Speaker 2: can take them in, So that that's how they wound up.
Speaker 2: And they had to all be escorted out and there
Speaker 2: were eight hundred from one building I was watching. I
Speaker 2: didn't hear the building, unfortunately, but I thought, my god,
Speaker 2: nobody's gonna want to take these because their work. You know,
Speaker 2: we're all easy.
Speaker 3: Easy, And I hate the way that they're trying to
Speaker 3: push this on the homeless. They were at one point
Speaker 3: in time saying that the homeless set on fire, and
Speaker 3: I said, why would they set their house on fire?
Speaker 4: And when I said that, I didn't mean that as
Speaker 4: a joke. I meant it as the truth.
Speaker 3: If they're homeless and they're living outside already, you have
Speaker 3: to understand that the better.
Speaker 4: You live, the better the homeless live.
Speaker 3: Because they're living behind your nice garage or they're living
Speaker 3: in your alley and they're eating out your good garbage cans.
Speaker 3: So why would they jeppard ash what they have going on?
Speaker 3: They didn't do that, I don't know who did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, by mistake, that's all I could think of that
Speaker 2: they mean when they say that, I.
Speaker 3: Have no belief that that was fire was set by mistake.
Speaker 3: I truly believe. This is me. I laugh alone, This
Speaker 3: is me. I believe that fire was intentionally set for
Speaker 3: a purpose and a reason. Shoot, we will find out.
Speaker 4: So well, we know.
Speaker 2: About one right, So one of them is of course,
Speaker 2: he has to be from Mexico and had to be
Speaker 2: here illegally, a one man. Meanwhile, Sierra Love late thirty.
Speaker 4: Three years old. Yeah, I saw it.
Speaker 2: I don't know which one he's set though, because there
Speaker 2: were seven different fires, so I don't know which one
Speaker 2: he supposedly he supposedly set, or if he was doing
Speaker 2: it to actually burn whatever this somebody said something about
Speaker 2: him burning a Christmas tree. Did he think he was
Speaker 2: burning something for warmth or whatever, or did he actually
Speaker 2: was he? You know, was he up to You know,
Speaker 2: it'll be gotten again.
Speaker 4: Somebody, somebody had to be the escapegoat. Let me just
Speaker 4: say that I wish he.
Speaker 2: Wasn't from outside the country though, I gotta tell you that.
Speaker 2: You know, it's another thing they'll blame on Joe, to
Speaker 2: blame and everything on him.
Speaker 4: So well, we were about to get to Joe in
Speaker 4: a minute.
Speaker 3: But what we want to give you from laugh Alarne,
Speaker 3: from iHeart and from the Black Effect Network, from us
Speaker 3: to you is prayers. We pray for peace, solids. We
Speaker 3: hope you somewhere warm, and we hope that you are
Speaker 3: with your loved ones and your family.
Speaker 4: Tell all the people who have misplaced their pets or
Speaker 4: I feel free.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now, I got four over here,
Speaker 3: and if when one was gone, I'd be a sick punk.
Speaker 2: I kind of I was. I was telling you when
Speaker 2: we were just offline talking the other day. There's some
Speaker 2: of the the the pictures that they're showing here on
Speaker 2: TV that we're watching. Uh, there's a couple of them
Speaker 2: with fire they look like firemen. They don't look like women,
Speaker 2: but they're they've got the hose and they're battling the
Speaker 2: fire and like a dog came up because he's terrified.
Speaker 2: He's a human and they're they're looking for solace, and
Speaker 2: he's trying to pat the dog and he's trying to
Speaker 2: you know, and keep the dog near him so he
Speaker 2: could take them out of that situation when he when
Speaker 2: he's done doing whatever. And oh my god, I was
Speaker 2: crying with that. I'm like a big baby.
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: Well, prayers to everybody is affected by the elis. Let's
Speaker 3: move on to something real, happy, upbeating positive. Let's talk
Speaker 3: about our president. I lovable president who did his one
Speaker 3: the most speech last night, but.
Speaker 2: I missed him already. He's being eaten alive. I thought
Speaker 2: it was it was typical quintessential Joe Biden. It was positive,
Speaker 2: he believes in America. He did warn us about several things.
Speaker 2: You know, he was unchecked power, the tech industrial complex.
Speaker 2: It was very eyesenhowerish, you know, when he was giving warnings.
Speaker 2: During his speech, he would pointed out the dangers of
Speaker 2: social media, not fact checking. I think the line he
Speaker 2: uses the truth is smothered by lies, told by told
Speaker 2: for power or and for profit, And I thought, isn't
Speaker 2: isn't that the truth? He spoke of oligarchy and of
Speaker 2: course all the GOP people, Well he didn't mention names,
Speaker 2: so who could he be talking about. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: I think he's talking about the president, and the president's
Speaker 2: the president that didn't get elected, and maybe Jeff Bezos
Speaker 2: whether he was. He didn't mention names, so he doesn't
Speaker 2: even necessarily mean those three. But it shouldn't be the
Speaker 2: wealth and the power of the few ruling ruling all.
Speaker 2: And he kind of signed off with, you know, he
Speaker 2: thought the democracy was strong and it's sort of up
Speaker 2: to us, and it's it's now it's on our watch.
Speaker 2: You know, we have to he's turning it over to us.
Speaker 3: So with with what you just said, if it's on
Speaker 3: our watch, we better watch out. That's the title of
Speaker 3: the show. If it's on our watch, we better watch out.
Speaker 4: Write that down it is.
Speaker 3: I listened to him. I thought he was pretty clear. Bideness,
Speaker 3: you have to remember that Joe Biden is a season
Speaker 3: a season million, yes, and he's a little rickety. But
Speaker 3: I love the messages that he was putting out. I
Speaker 3: do like love what you say about it. He still
Speaker 3: loves his country. He has chosen to fifty years of
Speaker 3: public service and he chose his country over his private
Speaker 3: being rich or whatever. And we don't know, we don't
Speaker 3: know what's gonna come out, but they're gonna leave such
Speaker 3: a bad thing. I don't think that Joe Biden is
Speaker 3: going to ever get the credit for being a good
Speaker 3: president until what long after he did?
Speaker 2: You just said it, so I think. So he's going
Speaker 2: out at thirty percent approval rating, which is horrible. Trump
Speaker 2: went out at thirty four percent, but now he's at
Speaker 2: fifty percent. So let it take a couple of years.
Speaker 2: Joe is he's more than a little rickety, he's a lot.
Speaker 2: This thing in seventy eight to eighty two it did
Speaker 2: a number on him. But I think he is going
Speaker 2: to get a whole lot of look credit because he
Speaker 2: had the infrastructure bill, he brought manufacturing back to the country.
Speaker 2: He had so many pluses, and he didn't talk about
Speaker 2: them too much. He didn't do a whole lot of bragging.
Speaker 2: He did a few he mentioned a few things, but
Speaker 2: he didn't talk about we were in dire straits with
Speaker 2: our economy leaving COVID, and we may be feeling it
Speaker 2: still with inflation. We certainly felt it because of COVID,
Speaker 2: which somehow he got the blame for the inflation. But
Speaker 2: we had the best economy in the world, better than
Speaker 2: the people we borrow the money from. We're doing best
Speaker 2: our Finally, our incomes are coming up a little bit.
Speaker 2: They've come up four thousand dollars and the price of
Speaker 2: things they're going down and they're leveling off. And that
Speaker 2: was bydnomics. Whether people want to laugh about it, but
Speaker 2: economists are going to tell us. We'll be watching the
Speaker 2: History Channel on channel PBS flame in ten years and
Speaker 2: they're just like going the History Channel, and you know
Speaker 2: how they talk about everybody. They'll be talking saying, Jesus,
Speaker 2: he did a good job.
Speaker 3: I want to Bien well over here.
Speaker 4: I just prayed it by has spends time with.
Speaker 3: His wife and his kids, and his grain kids and
Speaker 3: his great grand kids that he has and just just
Speaker 3: lives out the rest of his life in peace.
Speaker 2: I hope so too. He had his favorite people in
Speaker 2: the room while he was speaking. You know, he had
Speaker 2: Jill was there, Hunter, was there, a VP Harris and
Speaker 2: her husband were there and some key people in the
Speaker 2: We're in the Oval office as he was speaking, so
Speaker 2: they could kind of all seal it out together. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's yeah.
Speaker 4: He said.
Speaker 2: His line was that he believes in America and now
Speaker 2: it's our turn to stand guard. I kind of liked that.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: I want to say this, thank you President Joe Biden
Speaker 3: for all your service over all these years. Thank you
Speaker 3: for being the president that you were. I know you
Speaker 3: couldn't get through everything passed because you was pushing a
Speaker 3: rock upper hill. Yeah, but now the rock is so
Speaker 3: heavy right now, we got to when you move, we
Speaker 3: gotta all catch that rocket. Good guy it we can
Speaker 3: all get on one page. We could catch the rock.
Speaker 3: But the hardest part going to be trying to get
Speaker 3: America United to get on one page, because it's not
Speaker 3: gonna happen no time soon.
Speaker 2: I'll be interested to see if he will be involved
Speaker 2: in the Democratic Party, if they'll like have him, have him,
Speaker 2: like you know, Bush kind of stayed out and did
Speaker 2: his painting and all of that. President Obama has done
Speaker 2: many things very pro American, but not necessarily pushing anything
Speaker 2: until until Trump got stronger. Like he looked like he
Speaker 2: was really going to be the candidate, although he did so.
Speaker 2: So I think what we need to give Joe is
Speaker 2: some grace. And I think what we saw at Jimmy
Speaker 2: Carter's funeral last week was President Biden being the class
Speaker 2: act that he is giving giving President Trump some grace.
Speaker 2: And I think that's I mean, we're gonna have to
Speaker 2: see you. I loved that. So the next thing we
Speaker 2: can talk about, because it kind of goes into this,
Speaker 2: is I liked how President Biden he worked. He's been
Speaker 2: working mercilessly as we know on the Gaza hostage deal.
Speaker 2: And he brought Wickoff I think is his name. He
Speaker 2: is Trump's Middle East person. He had. He brought him
Speaker 2: into the room over the past week to have him
Speaker 2: involved in the negotiations for the hostage deal, which we
Speaker 2: heard just before we started to tape that the Israeli
Speaker 2: cabinet is ready to vote on finally, so it looks
Speaker 2: like it's going to go through and it's going to happen.
Speaker 2: You know what he said, we were one, We were
Speaker 2: a united America the way it's supposed to be. You know,
Speaker 2: we worked together. You know, it was important for us
Speaker 2: to bring him in because he's going to have to
Speaker 2: do the phase two in the phase three, and I
Speaker 2: thought wonderful he worked so hard. And did Trump have
Speaker 2: some sort of influence maybe you know, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but Geez didn't have to jump on it. It's all him,
Speaker 2: not that Joe's been since October of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: What I like about like you said about the class president,
Speaker 3: the classy president, Joe Bike, when you're doing a good job,
Speaker 3: you ain't got the tucher off. Unfortunately, the media here
Speaker 3: is so intimidated by the incoming administration, the incoming president,
Speaker 3: that they only try to put positive on him, but
Speaker 3: they try to just discard President Joe Biden.
Speaker 4: And when it's Joe Biden who's doing all the good.
Speaker 3: Stuff, it's a Bobby. We're in for a Wayne dang doodle.
Speaker 3: So let's please be ready, yut we are.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna be happy. It's so I mean,
Speaker 2: people obviously they're not happy with the deal for Gaza.
Speaker 2: We couldn't get anything going right. So they're gonna be
Speaker 2: thirty three or thirty four people we had seven. Of course,
Speaker 2: some of them are not going to be alive. They're
Speaker 2: not guarantee all these people are going to be alive,
Speaker 2: but they're going to return bodies and whatnot. I can't
Speaker 2: even imagine the condition that they're in. But we have three.
Speaker 2: Now they're not just Americans. There are Israeli Americans. They
Speaker 2: were either born here or and then moved over there
Speaker 2: or whatnot. But all three are going to be returned.
Speaker 2: One of them is he's in the military over there,
Speaker 2: So they're definitely not gonna return somebody that's in the
Speaker 2: that's in the military. He's gonna be probably the last
Speaker 2: man out. And I hope he you know, they get
Speaker 2: him all alive. But they're not. They're not pleased about that.
Speaker 2: I think it's a first, you know, a first good move.
Speaker 2: I mean, is it perfect? None of those deals are
Speaker 2: ever perfect.
Speaker 3: Well is that the is this the the Hamas Israel ceasefire?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, they so people are they want all the
Speaker 2: hostages out. Well, they're not gonna They're not gonna give up.
Speaker 2: They're just not. It's not gonna work there. They haven't
Speaker 2: given us a thing. I mean, as scary as it is,
Speaker 2: I think that they had said somewhere I read eighteen
Speaker 2: thousand Hamas have been killed. Well, guess what they guess
Speaker 2: what number that they just got in new people that
Speaker 2: have come and come into the movement. Eighteen thousand, so
Speaker 2: as many have come in as we got rid of
Speaker 2: all this whole time that was we're supposed to be
Speaker 2: wiping them out. You know, they're like cockroaches. They just
Speaker 2: doubled and doubled and doubled and doubled. So you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know how successful we're ever going to be.
Speaker 2: To be quite honest, I hope that those poor Palestinians
Speaker 2: they can do something from them. I heard Matha Ratits
Speaker 2: was on the view she just gave because she's been
Speaker 2: over there and gave you know, kind of a quick recap,
Speaker 2: and she said, I don't know what they're returning to.
Speaker 2: She says, I was on a boat. You know, you
Speaker 2: can't even get in because there are no roads, there
Speaker 2: are no buildings or homes for them to return to.
Speaker 2: So ninety percent have been displaced. But to try to
Speaker 2: put them back, like, I don't even flame. I don't
Speaker 2: even know how you get rid of the rubble, serious,
Speaker 2: because that's all it is. It's nothing but rubble. I'm
Speaker 2: sort of thinking of I don't know if they're going
Speaker 2: to have to do something like Chicago right second City,
Speaker 2: where they build a city on top of the city
Speaker 2: because you can't get rid of the stuff.
Speaker 4: That's underneath it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then you have to go in there because
Speaker 3: can you imagine how many bodies up out there the
Speaker 3: horrific smell of that, and their bodies become toxic.
Speaker 2: I don't know how they're going to I mean, I
Speaker 2: really don't know how that's going to work. Flame. You know,
Speaker 2: they want their they want their land, that's where they
Speaker 2: want to be because of the religion. I don't know
Speaker 2: how it's all going to work, but I'm hoping. I
Speaker 2: know that's part of the ceasefire, Like, if that's all
Speaker 2: built into it, we're going to have to see what happens.
Speaker 2: But God bless those people too. I mean, they've lost everything,
Speaker 2: forty thousand of them.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that Joe Biden was able to get that
Speaker 3: to push through, and I know Trump is taking a
Speaker 3: credit for it, but Joe Biden has had that on
Speaker 3: the table since mating.
Speaker 2: What Trump said was he said they'll be hell to pay.
Speaker 2: That was his contribution. So if people take him seriously,
Speaker 2: and they seem to, but Biden was at the table.
Speaker 2: Biden was at the table, to his detriment, because people
Speaker 2: thought he was too concerned with Ukraine in his Israel
Speaker 2: and he lost sight of the issues that we had
Speaker 2: here in the country. And I don't think he did.
Speaker 2: I think we have horrible as Democrats, horrible messaging. We
Speaker 2: cannot get the words out right in the right way.
Speaker 2: You know, they what are they calling us their coastal
Speaker 2: elite or whatever is now what they say because you're
Speaker 2: either on the West coast or the East coast and
Speaker 2: were snobs. We were the working people. We were the union.
Speaker 2: He's been more pro union. He stood on he stood
Speaker 2: on the picket line. No president has ever done that.
Speaker 2: But to his detrimental it cost him the election. You know,
Speaker 2: I happened to like Joe Biden. I think he absolutely
Speaker 2: made some mistakes. He absolutely shouldn't have run. He should
Speaker 2: have turned it over. But I think when you start
Speaker 2: to get some sort of progress being made, I think
Speaker 2: you get the big head thinking, oh my god, I
Speaker 2: could get all of my stuff done in the next turn.
Speaker 2: You know, all of the things I want to do
Speaker 2: for the people, I could do it in full more years.
Speaker 3: You know, Bobby, honestly, I believe it didn't matter who
Speaker 3: would have ran, Trump was going to win. They had
Speaker 3: it to set up. He had set it up for
Speaker 3: the first time he was in office. They were power players.
Speaker 3: They were playing. The whole time they were playing, they
Speaker 3: were playing in our face.
Speaker 2: Oh that's all the craziness he talks about. It gets
Speaker 2: you destroy acted for what it what it is, I'm
Speaker 2: telling you, that's what I think your special still has
Speaker 2: to be. You said that name two years ago, and
Speaker 2: I still think it's it is. It is so on
Speaker 2: point for how America is distractions.
Speaker 4: He talks mess, he.
Speaker 2: Talks crazy mass, and then we're not looking at We're
Speaker 2: not looking at the tariffs he's going to put on.
Speaker 2: By the way, the two countries that came to our aid,
Speaker 2: you know, he's going to put tariffs on them. The
Speaker 2: the Canadians came down with those scoop planes. I am
Speaker 2: amazed by those things. I could sit and watch those
Speaker 2: things all day. The Mexicans came out, they're digging their
Speaker 2: way through the stuff. They came from Sudan. I saw
Speaker 2: a clip where they landed in Canada and they were
Speaker 2: singing their song and they were wearing all their African
Speaker 2: garb and oh my god, it was tapping my chin,
Speaker 2: and of course I was crying again because I'm like,
Speaker 2: they're even coming from Sudan, you know they're coming.
Speaker 3: The unfortunate part is that Americans do not give back.
Speaker 3: Americans take take take, and they speaking of take, take, taking,
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about.
Speaker 2: A commercial break is what we should do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's take a commercial break. Yeah, speaking of take, take, take, take,
Speaker 3: my community, the LGBT community, especially.
Speaker 4: The transmariton went so hard on me. And I told
Speaker 4: y'all when I was trying to when I was trying
Speaker 4: to warn us, Bobby, I was.
Speaker 3: Never trying to stop my community or heart hinder my
Speaker 3: community from blossoming and flourishing. But I saw the writings
Speaker 3: on the wall. I work in spaces where I hear everything.
Speaker 3: I may i'll be able to see that good, but
Speaker 3: I hear everything. So I knew how they perceived us,
Speaker 3: how they've seen us, how we were treated. But we
Speaker 3: were had so many amenities, Bobby, everything, and now we
Speaker 3: kept taking and taking and they kept pushing the narrative
Speaker 3: and now they just put so many blocks on so
Speaker 3: many things that they just signed the bill that trans
Speaker 3: athletes cannot compete in women's sports. And then day one
Speaker 3: he said he is going to stop all kind of
Speaker 3: gender re affirming care. He says, say it's gonna be
Speaker 3: for the youth, but I'm telling you all right now,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be for everybody. They want to kick the
Speaker 3: trans people out. The military people who have had twenty
Speaker 3: years in there, they want to kick them out. It
Speaker 3: is just a wish that I was wrong and that
Speaker 3: you know, that wouldn't have been an issue.
Speaker 4: But what they used everything that the trans community, the
Speaker 4: woke so called woke culture was pushing for the Republicans
Speaker 4: flipped and weaponized it and used it against that we're
Speaker 4: about to.
Speaker 2: Have is one of the what I didn't believe it
Speaker 2: when you said it till I heard everybody talking about it.
Speaker 2: I mean that Nancy mace is, she's she's South Carolina rap.
Speaker 2: She's been mean to the new to the new transgender
Speaker 2: uh rap that came through from Delaware, Delawareans.
Speaker 4: Sarah Sarah Sarah, Yeah.
Speaker 2: But to be mean to somebody like it makes up
Speaker 2: no sense. So I think the reason people were upset
Speaker 2: with you is because they think should they should have everything,
Speaker 2: and they should have everything now you should have everything,
Speaker 2: You should everything be it's just as comfortable as me
Speaker 2: or anybody else that walks down the street. I agree
Speaker 2: with that, But as a seasoned person, forget about a
Speaker 2: trans person. I'm gonna take that out from you because
Speaker 2: it really doesn't make a difference. You know, in this particular,
Speaker 2: you know how long it takes to get a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff, We'll say a seasoned person of color. You
Speaker 2: know how long it took to get your rights as
Speaker 2: a person of color. Never mind, So you know, you
Speaker 2: can't force things on people. It has to be a
Speaker 2: slow and steady wins the race, right is that the expression? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and so you saw that. But because you spoke your truth,
Speaker 2: not that you thought it was true, you know the
Speaker 2: way it should be. You just thought, let it come,
Speaker 2: let it simmer, we'll get a little bit more. Now,
Speaker 2: the things that you've gained, you're not gonna You're not
Speaker 2: gonna gain anything else. Is how it looks to me.
Speaker 2: You're gonna go to about to lose what you did.
Speaker 2: Now for four years you've lost. And so now with
Speaker 2: the next administration, god willingness a change, you're still not
Speaker 2: gonna You're not going to gain anything you're lucky to
Speaker 2: get back what you had now, so you're going to
Speaker 2: be eight to twelve years you've lost. I don't know.
Speaker 3: All because we couldn't come to Summer Cord. Things happened
Speaker 3: so much easier organically. And they went after me and
Speaker 3: said I was to pick me queen, and you you
Speaker 3: you pandering for the straight people. I've been in this
Speaker 3: industry a long time and I watched people move and
Speaker 3: then I was like prime example. Last night we were
Speaker 3: at to show more Chess.
Speaker 4: That was there.
Speaker 3: I've been a fan of his for years. He didn't
Speaker 3: know who I was, but he watched how all the
Speaker 3: other people came and embraced me and interacted with me
Speaker 3: before he was comfortable enough to introduce himself to me.
Speaker 3: Oh so, and I saw him still gorgeous, but I
Speaker 3: didn't want he is, but I didn't want to make
Speaker 3: him uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: That is my superpower.
Speaker 3: I mean people comfortable because a lot of them just
Speaker 3: winning and it's, oh my god, I'm a fan of
Speaker 3: wool and here I am Trance. I don't know how
Speaker 3: he would have received me, but when he saw how
Speaker 3: all the other people gave me so much joy and
Speaker 3: respect because that's when they gave me respect of who
Speaker 3: I am and what I am.
Speaker 4: It made him comfortable.
Speaker 3: We wanted too much, too fast, instat gratification, that instagratication,
Speaker 3: but about the flip of us, and they're gonna instantly
Speaker 3: take everything back.
Speaker 2: So you just said it. So that's well, he's gonna
Speaker 2: be at Watson. Did you see that? He's going to
Speaker 2: be so I love Elementary. I'm sitting watching it for
Speaker 2: the hundredth time the series.
Speaker 4: I binge.
Speaker 2: I love to binge. Watch me some Elementary. I hope
Speaker 2: that comes on as a breakout again. But he's going
Speaker 2: to be the Watson character, not the Elementary, and that's
Speaker 2: something that's coming out I think this year. I saw
Speaker 2: a clip of it all of a sudden, it just
Speaker 2: hit me. When I saw his face, I'm like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, good for him, good for him. Nice, very he smelled.
Speaker 2: He's actually a very.
Speaker 3: Kind, very kind man. And everybody compare him with Charlemagne.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't see that part, but I get it,
Speaker 3: but I don't see it. Charlottne he gets sold to
Speaker 3: the breakfast club eyeballs, that's alf to olballs. Today they
Speaker 3: interviewed Wendy Williams. I thought it was a pretty decent interview.
Speaker 3: She seemed like she was in her right state of man.
Speaker 3: I did not get the chance to see the room
Speaker 3: with her and Don living. I was in and out
Speaker 3: of it, so I didn't pay attention to us. I
Speaker 3: can't speak on him, but I know you watched it.
Speaker 3: But she sounded very in her right man. On the
Speaker 3: breakfast club she is so she's definitely impaired. I don't know,
Speaker 3: she could be at the very beginning stages of whatever
Speaker 3: is going on with her, but she's definitely impaired. Don
Speaker 3: was very sweet with her. He was very kind. You know,
Speaker 3: they had become friendly. You'd have to listen to it. It
Speaker 3: doesn't take long.
Speaker 2: He did a very nice job, you know. He said,
Speaker 2: is she the Wendy of when I knew her? You
Speaker 2: know whatever?
Speaker 4: X years know?
Speaker 2: But do you think she has to mention like he
Speaker 2: clearly he was trying to get us think more of
Speaker 2: a positive way. But I'm surrounded about it. I have
Speaker 2: like three or four family members right now with it,
Speaker 2: and to me, she fit right in. She couldn't she
Speaker 2: could talk about what her issue is. So you talk
Speaker 2: about a few things from the past, but to conceptualize,
Speaker 2: like what conservatorship is, what it means? Why are you there?
Speaker 2: You know, like she she wasn't. She wasn't so great
Speaker 2: in the second interview with that stuff. You could tell
Speaker 2: she just couldn't. It's the figuring stuff you start to lose. Oh,
Speaker 2: I have to close the refrigerated door. You know, you're
Speaker 2: like you learn the because everything will melt. You kind
Speaker 2: of lose those those skills. So I saw somebody.
Speaker 3: I feel sorry for Wendy a little bit because and
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of Wendy's. I did, But let me
Speaker 3: tell you something. Windy was the mess, now Hoday, Wendy was.
Speaker 4: I forget that.
Speaker 3: Wendy was another lot stand though, and I loved me
Speaker 3: so Whindney Houston and Wendy Williams went after Whitney Houston
Speaker 3: with everything she had.
Speaker 4: I wonder why, and I don't know.
Speaker 3: But whatever Whitney Whitney Houston was or was not, whenever
Speaker 3: you saw her on the interview, God makes you rest
Speaker 3: in peace. She always acknowledged God. She always acknowledged the
Speaker 3: name of Jesus. She knew who her Lord and baby was.
Speaker 3: How exactly so? But whether whatever she was at when
Speaker 3: if they say she was, you know, incapacitated, or she
Speaker 3: was inebriated or high what, it didn't matter because she
Speaker 3: always acknowledged God. I bet you when Whitney Houston died
Speaker 3: and got the heaven, she tapped God on the shoulder
Speaker 3: say look at your player.
Speaker 4: That one right there would give me a hard time because.
Speaker 3: It seems like to me, ever since Whitney Houston been dead,
Speaker 3: Whendy william has, Whendy Williams has caught hell, Bobby I.
Speaker 4: May have went caught.
Speaker 3: Her house and cars has crumbled, and when they have,
Speaker 3: allegedly they have one of her conservatives, conservatives allegedly sold
Speaker 3: thirty million dollars from her. So people are stealing money
Speaker 3: from her allegedly and everything. It's terrific.
Speaker 2: I don't want that. That makes me. I don't like
Speaker 2: dementia to anybody. I think it's a huge, hu miliating
Speaker 2: way to go out, especially so my aunt had Alzheimer's
Speaker 2: and she was a nun and she was a teacher
Speaker 2: when she got out of the convent and just a
Speaker 2: proud woman. And to see her just frightened and scared,
Speaker 2: not knowing where she was, And it's a horrible horrible disease.
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.
Speaker 2: I would wish it on someone I hated. Never mind,
Speaker 2: So anyway, that stuff so Weddy. Sorry Wendy. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: pray prayers for Wendy. I hope she I hope she's
Speaker 2: on the media. I hope she gets someplace where she's happy,
Speaker 2: not and safe.
Speaker 3: I don't know who's taking care of her, but the
Speaker 3: way she laid it out, it sounds very scary. And
Speaker 3: you and Aaron, our producer, was having a conversation before.
Speaker 3: This is why you had to tell up all your
Speaker 3: Lucian's while you got your right man, because when you
Speaker 3: ain't got your right man, they're gonna run over you.
Speaker 2: I did for when my aunt passed. I started like
Speaker 2: putting things into place, and I'm talking to you know,
Speaker 2: family members, and they're like, oh, I haven't done it yet.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, we're over thirty five. Anything could happen,
Speaker 2: even I under thirty five. You go walk in front
Speaker 2: of a bus. It is a pain in the neck
Speaker 2: when you're a caretaker, like I handled my aunt's stuff,
Speaker 2: and if it's if I didn't have the ability to
Speaker 2: do that, and then you got to go to court
Speaker 2: and try to yeah. Please, It's much easier if you're
Speaker 2: if your your ducks are in a row.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so say so, say it? Yea. What was the
Speaker 4: answer we're talking about, Bobby?
Speaker 2: I think that was it.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: Oh, ladies and gentlemen, we want to thank you guys
Speaker 3: for joining us here at Leave Alert Episode number three two.

Speaker 3: pretty much social media break from coffee.
Speaker 4: Time the album need to I get it.
Speaker 3: I'm tired. I'm tired of it. The politics is like
Speaker 3: a done deal now. I'm sure it'd get interesting to
Speaker 3: me maybe next week at the Trump is swiney.
Speaker 2: His inauguration speech. I can't even imagine.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: The one thing that we do want to remind everybody
Speaker 2: is legitimately, as of Friday, President Trump is a convicted felon,
Speaker 2: A thirty four convicted felon. He in his hush manny case,
Speaker 2: he got it unconditional discharge, which just means that he
Speaker 2: has no fines, like there's no penalty, but he still
Speaker 2: gets the he still gets the sentencing of being being
Speaker 2: a felon. There are many countries, I think Great Burton's
Speaker 2: one of them. You can't go if you're if you're
Speaker 2: a felon. So it's gonna it's going to become interesting.
Speaker 2: We'll have tons to talk about.
Speaker 3: Well, let's say this that Trump breaks rules all the time,
Speaker 3: So let's see what kind of rules he's going to
Speaker 3: break with that because he breaks rules.
Speaker 2: All yeah, but here he does a break rules. I'd
Speaker 2: love to see him try to get in to, you know,
Speaker 2: to another kind of Well, we'll say, we'll see what happens.

Speaker 4: Going away because we'll have to see it. Was talking
Speaker 4: about the TikTok.
Speaker 2: It was supposed to be. It was supposed to come
Speaker 2: to be, but Biden said that his administration said they're
Speaker 2: not holding it up. Trump can do that. That's on
Speaker 2: Trump's watch. He was the one that wanted it stopped
Speaker 2: in the beginning, although now he's changed his tune and
Speaker 2: wants to put it back. So we'll see. I believe
Speaker 2: that President Trump will give them some sort of some
Speaker 2: sort of extension. You know, it's not great. Sure, we're
Speaker 2: going to have Carrie Underwood. It's going to be performing.
Speaker 2: Johnson actually voted for the flags, ordered them to be
Speaker 2: full staff for the day. And the person we won't
Speaker 2: see will be Michelle Obama, God bless her.
Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting Michelle Obama. And it's most of
Speaker 3: the other ones that's not going coming out now, supposed
Speaker 3: to be George Bush, even President Barack Obama is not
Speaker 3: now it's not supposed to be attending. So Clinton, we'll
Speaker 3: say we look, we'll see on next Monday. Yeah, when
Speaker 3: he has this massive, this massive audience, I.
Speaker 2: Hope they paying the crime.
Speaker 4: But his people will crazy like my being room.
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully his people have money because the economy is
Speaker 3: bad and everybody can't travel and they price galles and
Speaker 3: those hotel.
Speaker 4: Rooms too in d C. Yeah, so it's just crazy
Speaker 4: expensive to go there.
