Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, and welcome to a very special edition
Speaker 1: of Laugh and Learn. This is just an aftermath, a
Speaker 1: recap of watching our favorite president right now, President Joseph R.
Speaker 1: Biden give his Set of the Union address, and I'm
Speaker 1: here with my beautiful co host Bobby Cliffin. How you
Speaker 1: took Hi? Who so, Bobby? You watched I watched it.
Speaker 1: I watched it in its entirety. And when I say
Speaker 1: in its entirety from him coming down the runway kissing everybody,
Speaker 1: I'm like, Joe, you atey, don't kiss everybody COVID, good guy.
Speaker 1: I know that's why he started doing all that damn
Speaker 1: coming on the podium. He didn't kiss somebody up in
Speaker 1: there with a sour puss. But what did you think, Bobby,
Speaker 1: about our president making his Set of the Union address?
Speaker 2: My first words, and then we're going to go back
Speaker 2: to coming doing the walk? I thought sleepy Joe took
Speaker 2: a nap. He was full of energy, vim vigor, he
Speaker 2: was pissed. He it was at this much like a
Speaker 2: State of the Union, which does what he did. He did,
Speaker 2: weave that in and get all all of their accomplishments,
Speaker 2: and then where he wants to go for the next year,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't really next year, it was next term.
Speaker 2: This definitely was was preparing people and putting people to rest.
Speaker 2: Who thought he was gonna fall on his speech and
Speaker 2: you know, doddering old man. He spoke for an hour
Speaker 2: and fifteen minutes a little bit under that he had
Speaker 2: back to your walk in Sweet Jesus. That was like
Speaker 2: the walk from I don't know what must have taken
Speaker 2: him ten minutes to get in there. Did you see
Speaker 2: George Santos? I did the nerve of that glossy lipped bastard.
Speaker 2: I couldn't.
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe he had the balls. I also can't
Speaker 3: believe that he is the balls. He's running again. He's
Speaker 3: going to run in a different district.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine? I also was outraged in that red
Speaker 2: cap bitch my Cherie Taylor Green, who I always want
Speaker 2: a hand a hairbrush, So she's going to want to
Speaker 2: calm through it to actually almost like attack, like put
Speaker 2: herself at She was like George Santos was in the
Speaker 2: last one last year. She was all over them and
Speaker 2: handed them that pen. And let me tell you, he
Speaker 2: came out with it in the right time. What did
Speaker 2: you think? So now that was That was my first
Speaker 2: impression of the walkthrough.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, Bob, you're quite aggressive today.
Speaker 1: Tell me how you Oh my god.
Speaker 3: See, I'm sticking with the mix, right, So he's irish,
Speaker 3: so I'm sticking with the mic.
Speaker 1: Listen. I was so proud of President Biden yesterday because
Speaker 1: I know what he's been up against, mostly with his age.
Speaker 1: They're so focused on his age and not the accomplishment
Speaker 1: that he has made. Right has he has he been
Speaker 1: a perfect man in politics? Absolutely not, But who has?
Speaker 1: But what we are up against right now is just
Speaker 1: what he says, we don't want to lose our democracy.
Speaker 1: I love that he pointed out all of the things,
Speaker 1: the pluses that he has done, because he does not
Speaker 1: get enough credit for so if he had to toot
Speaker 1: his own horn, where to two be beef? Goddamn? And
Speaker 1: I love the fact that he never mentioned Trump's name.
Speaker 1: It was always his creditcess.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: He never gave him that respect or that response to
Speaker 1: give him that much credit to say his name, and
Speaker 1: then they want the Republicans wanted the backlash and say,
Speaker 1: well he responded to him. Thirteen times Trump talks about
Speaker 1: Joe Biden each and every time he gets an opportunity.
Speaker 2: No, no, he speaks about Obama.
Speaker 1: Well, he thinks he talks. He thinks he's talking about Biden,
Speaker 1: but he'd be mentioning Obama because that's where his obsession
Speaker 1: is at. But nevertheless, they I love that he was
Speaker 1: in the moment. He was there for the hecklers. He
Speaker 1: was able to come back with everything they threw at
Speaker 1: him because he showed them that he was sharp, He
Speaker 1: was precise, He was pristine with his answers. He did
Speaker 1: what I did. He sometimes the words ran into each other.
Speaker 1: I said, oh, he been in my edibles.
Speaker 2: We have to.
Speaker 1: Remember that's right. As a kid, he studied badly. But
Speaker 1: I'm very proud that he went after the points and
Speaker 1: he let them know what we were going to do.
Speaker 1: He was He was just everything that they said that
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to be. And I love for people
Speaker 1: to prove other people wrong, and he proved them wrong.
Speaker 1: And that was great for me.
Speaker 2: That was great.
Speaker 1: For the talking points that he had, I loved it.
Speaker 1: He touched on everything. I loved what he said about
Speaker 1: Palestine and Israel. He acknowledged both sides. He did not
Speaker 1: pick a side. He does but he did bring out
Speaker 1: who was right on what points and who was wrong
Speaker 1: on what points on both sides. So he was very
Speaker 1: fair and I think that's what I wanted the people
Speaker 1: to see that he was fair. And I love when
Speaker 1: he spoke up, spoke up so highly for women because
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a woman advocate, So he spoke so
Speaker 1: highly about women having rights and what women are going
Speaker 1: to take back because the old keepers of the guard
Speaker 1: are trying to take all the women's rights away. And
Speaker 1: he was like, women are not going to have it,
Speaker 1: and they gonna prove it to you. That was a
Speaker 1: dog That was a dog whistle letting all women know,
Speaker 1: rally together, have us because we about to take it over.
Speaker 2: Because it's the truth. I mean, he was right. We
Speaker 2: make up over half of the population, and for whatever
Speaker 2: reason I don't understand, because I work my day job
Speaker 2: is in healthcare, we get less than twenty percent or
Speaker 2: something of the research that actually is done on medical
Speaker 2: conditions are geared for women. And we have two men
Speaker 2: have testosterone, women have estrogen. Diseases affect us different ways,
Speaker 2: so there needs to be more done. I love seeing
Speaker 2: one of my my my sheros Maria Shriver up with
Speaker 2: jil Biben. She's adorable. She's absolutely adorable. She was holding
Speaker 2: the hand when they were discussing the woman who had
Speaker 2: the baby that had the fatal disease and it was
Speaker 2: gonna take her life and or her reproduction. I loved
Speaker 2: to see that the other woman. I'm blanking on the names.
Speaker 2: I apologize everybody woman who had a baby through IVF.
Speaker 2: She was holding one hand of the girl so she
Speaker 2: could get through it, and Maria Shriver was holding the other,
Speaker 2: and I thought, that's it. Woman together, solidarity. I thought
Speaker 2: it was terrific, Absolutely terrific.
Speaker 1: Marisa Shiver looked really good since the divorce. Ooh, lose
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you lose weight, it ain't always attached to
Speaker 1: your body.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I know.
Speaker 1: Isn't that good?
Speaker 2: She's always been. She's this Venezuela. She got gorgeous hair.
Speaker 2: She she is such an inspiring person, always doing, doing, doing,
Speaker 2: like her whole life is in service. The Shrivers were
Speaker 2: really you know, her dad was the Peace Corps. He
Speaker 2: started the Peace Corps. These are the mother was the
Speaker 2: Special Olympics.
Speaker 1: Come back there you go, y'all, there she go, come
Speaker 1: back to the president. Oh my god, come back.
Speaker 2: I loved that he talked about because people were looking
Speaker 2: I feel for certain words, and we definitely all have
Speaker 2: We're feeling it in our pocketbooks. So even though the
Speaker 2: economy is good in some areas, we're not seeing it
Speaker 2: in other's. And I love that he talk about He
Speaker 2: talked about the racial wealth gap being the smallest that
Speaker 2: it's been in over twenty years, you know, and picking
Speaker 2: small points so people are hearing things are improving, that
Speaker 2: we have gone from nine in inflation nine percent to
Speaker 2: three percent over the years. He's working on with the
Speaker 2: shrink inflation and things like that. He's trying to get
Speaker 2: the big corpse to come down and stop price gouging
Speaker 2: on the people. But I thought it was great and
Speaker 2: I did I to speak to your Israel and Palestine.
Speaker 2: I loved that too, because he acknowledged that Israel had
Speaker 2: the right to go after Hamas, but he also spoke
Speaker 2: at about the Palestine people being totally different from Haas
Speaker 2: and it's going to stop Netnya who figure it out.
Speaker 2: But you can't keep killing in us in people.
Speaker 1: He went, he went after Pood, he stood up.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: I just love I just love what Biden brought because
Speaker 1: they were really expecting because they have put out the
Speaker 1: narrative that he's this old feeble, not sharp, not what
Speaker 1: he talked about. And he was like, y'all got me twisted,
Speaker 1: and he came with the game plan. I said, give
Speaker 1: it to him, by it And I was very proud
Speaker 1: of him. I was, I was, I was mortified. But
Speaker 1: I can't say I should be that that the Republicans
Speaker 1: acted like children in the in the House. What is that?
Speaker 1: What kind of example is that setting? But I shouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised because they did it to President Obama. They've
Speaker 1: done it before. They have really gotten the Republicans have
Speaker 1: really gotten disrespectful. And they was reporting on Knere yesterday
Speaker 1: before the before he spoke that Mike Johnson, to speak
Speaker 1: of the House, had already spoken to all his constituents
Speaker 1: and asked them not to be verbal, not to yell
Speaker 1: out and heckle. And of course the white trand the
Speaker 1: white trash did it anyway and wore a mega hat too,
Speaker 1: which was not appropriate. They should have had her Angel
Speaker 1: Santos removed if you asked me, but they did. Oh.
Speaker 2: I loved when he when he whipped out the she
Speaker 2: was screaming at him about that that late the poor
Speaker 2: Layton girl that was murdered, and he whipped out the
Speaker 2: the in and said said her name, and then apologize
Speaker 2: to the parents and said I've lost children. So I understand,
Speaker 2: And I thought that was that was completely compassionate. I
Speaker 2: liked that he pushed for immigration. I got to be honest,
Speaker 2: We're waiting so long for this crisis to be over.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that Joe over the next week, if something
Speaker 2: doesn't happen, call us some sort of executive action just
Speaker 2: to shut it down, you know, in the meantime. But
Speaker 2: he didn't get into that. That wasn't what this was
Speaker 2: all about.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to tell you what. I love, Bobby Love.
Speaker 1: I think that some of his people must be listening
Speaker 1: to us over here because here and laugh and we
Speaker 1: always push and I always pushed it. I've even heard
Speaker 1: you push that we are Americans. And I think when
Speaker 1: he said that we are Americans, I'm your president too.
Speaker 1: I think that really needed to resonate with people, because
Speaker 1: we're so caught up in the party that we forget
Speaker 1: that we all are part of the same land.
Speaker 2: It's the truth.
Speaker 1: None of us are from here. None of us are
Speaker 1: from here.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 1: He was great with that, and he said, I'm i'm
Speaker 1: I was the first president that was that was the
Speaker 1: first vice president to a black to a black to
Speaker 1: a black president, and president to the first female black president,
Speaker 1: I mean vice president. I'm like, come on, Biden, Biden
Speaker 1: was really good. Okay. I was very proud of you, Biden. Okay,
Speaker 1: now let me get to the aftermn for some of
Speaker 1: your Republicans. I don't know why those damn what are
Speaker 1: the the Supreme Court justices all set there like they
Speaker 1: had a bull up their ass. Everybody looked, and my
Speaker 1: eye so I thought she was gonna fall over. Good God, because.
Speaker 2: The ones who caused all the problems with the dogs,
Speaker 2: they didn't show. Did you see Clarence Thomas there? He's
Speaker 2: probably off in the yacht somewhere. Did you see, Oh, God,
Speaker 2: call me or what I can't even think of what
Speaker 2: her name is. Parent she wasn't there, you know, all
Speaker 2: the ones that caused the problem. So sun of my
Speaker 2: head sitting there going ah, then hell did we get
Speaker 2: set up from this's what's the trouble. We're getting our
Speaker 2: hands slapped and they didn't even bother to show up
Speaker 2: to class.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they looked they just looked so stoic. And
Speaker 1: then they was painting the room. You saw some of
Speaker 1: the disgust on the Republican faces all because they can't
Speaker 1: come to some agreement about it, especially about that border policy,
Speaker 1: which was something that they created. So I loved that
Speaker 1: Biden called them out on all of it, put their
Speaker 1: feature of the fire, challenged them and said what he
Speaker 1: was and was not going to do right in our faces.
Speaker 1: So that was great for me. Now to this brig,
Speaker 1: this Katie Brigg is that her.
Speaker 2: Name, It's Brett, Katie Brett.
Speaker 1: Katie Britt from Alabama, who came on as the worst
Speaker 1: Sybil actress. If you was going to act like Sybil,
Speaker 1: you should have watched Sally Field in the movie in
Speaker 1: the seventies Sybil, because that's when all sixteen of them
Speaker 1: personality show. She tried to start off as the sweetest, kindest,
Speaker 1: most innocent, and every time that monster kept sticking his
Speaker 1: head out, she didn't need to drink reducee of Doctor
Speaker 1: Jekyll and Mister Hat because the longer she talked, the
Speaker 1: more that monster kept showing his head showing his heat.
Speaker 1: I think, take that hood all down and we see you.
Speaker 2: It's International Woman's Day, and somehow that bach is stuck
Speaker 2: in a kitchen. It's like a fifty second she looked
Speaker 2: at June Cleveland. She couldn't get out. The nicest thing
Speaker 2: I could say about it is I said to you
Speaker 2: earlier she had nice cabinets. I did like her kitchen.
Speaker 2: It's like she took a couple of drama classes, you know,
Speaker 2: to be a Stepford wife, and that's what she was doing.
Speaker 2: I thought, I felt badly in a way, I'll be honest,
Speaker 2: because nobody's going to forget this, and not in a
Speaker 2: good way. Like it's one of those chances that you
Speaker 2: take in your career, and she did not. It wasn't
Speaker 2: a good look on her, let me tell you. And
Speaker 2: everything she said was wrong. I'm like, did you even
Speaker 2: listen to a speech? They must have been prepping her from.
Speaker 2: I don't know what they usually get the speech. It
Speaker 2: usually comes out the one impressive thing that I felt
Speaker 2: back to Biden, like how we kind of rounded everything up,
Speaker 2: the one impressive thing I will even say about the
Speaker 2: whole group anytime that they spoke about doing things as
Speaker 2: an American like standing up to putin. There were a
Speaker 2: few times the GOP actually stood up too and clapped.
Speaker 2: I thought they didn't sit all the time. They didn't
Speaker 2: like some of the stuff. But I thought, when it's
Speaker 2: pushed to shove and it's an outside threat, we can
Speaker 2: stand together somehow because that's the S and them right
Speaker 2: now in that room, it would be between them, it's
Speaker 2: the S and M. I sort of liked that. I
Speaker 2: liked that Biden when he was speaking about immigration and
Speaker 2: he was talking about his predecessor, he said, come on,
Speaker 2: let's do it together.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So our take on this is we're riding with
Speaker 1: about it. We're very proud of him. If you guys
Speaker 1: listen to us here on iHeart under the Black Epect Network.
Speaker 1: We want you guys to know that whatever decision you
Speaker 1: make is yours. But if you had any doubt about
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's competency, about his literacy, about his empowerment, about
Speaker 1: him being engaging and in the moment, if you watch
Speaker 1: that State of the Union address, all of those should
Speaker 1: be gone out the window. All of those I'm not
Speaker 1: sure should be gone. And I hope that he gets
Speaker 1: and acquires Nancy Nikki Haley's people, because we really need
Speaker 1: to win this election. We really need to make sure
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is the president for four more years.
Speaker 1: Where they were you chanting last night, four more years, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that we could save whatever little bit of democracy
Speaker 1: that we do have left. Now understand that we're a
Speaker 1: very precarious physician in America. It's gonna it's gonna be
Speaker 1: bad either way. But when he called them out on
Speaker 1: January to sixth, Bobby, they couldn't even hold their heads up.
Speaker 1: They were discussing because they knew, they knew, and nobody
Speaker 1: had slapped them on the hand and said no, you
Speaker 1: can't do that. But he called that out. That was
Speaker 1: That was fantastic for me. Bobby.
Speaker 2: I loved that too, because they all knew, and that's
Speaker 2: what he was saying, you all know that was wrong,
Speaker 2: and you're all pretending. Shame on you, and they did.
Speaker 2: They had a little bit of shame. So I loved it.
Speaker 2: I loved him back and forth. I loved him joking
Speaker 2: with Lindsay Graham and Lindsay laughing, and I love him
Speaker 2: when they talked about the bill, they be booming and
Speaker 2: me saying, oh, you don't you don't want to have
Speaker 2: a two trillion dollar you know, added expense onto the
Speaker 2: to the butt. Okay, I've got it, And you don't
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Bill.
Speaker 2: I thought it was great, you know he was he
Speaker 2: was consummate Joe Biden. Just the back and forth and
Speaker 2: Joey and being being comfortable. I felt it was a
Speaker 2: statesman that said, I know that the republic inside was
Speaker 2: They thought it was terrible. He was like Grand Tarino,
Speaker 2: Clinton Eastwood and Grand Toorno, screaming and yelling that the
Speaker 2: people get to get out of his yard, like nonsensical stuff.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, he wasn't gonna win either way.
Speaker 1: With them, well exactly, but with us he can and hopefully,
Speaker 1: so we want to thank you here. This was just
Speaker 1: our little recap on what we thought about Joe President
Speaker 1: Biden State of the Union address. Listen, I hope that
Speaker 1: you are registered. I hope that you are voting with
Speaker 1: your own conscious and voting your president because the future
Speaker 1: is bleak and past. I don't want to live again.
Speaker 1: So let's do what we gotta do as our part.
Speaker 1: As just what President Biden said Americans, because you may
Speaker 1: have a different party for me, you may see things
Speaker 1: in a different way from me. But if you live
Speaker 1: in this country and you registered to vote, and you
Speaker 1: an American citizen, embark on that because that's your responsibility.
Speaker 1: So let's do it at that right, Bobby, you got it.
Speaker 1: I'm coming to vote in your neighborhood. Let me get
Speaker 1: my blonde hair, oh way down. Thank you guys for
