I've been on the road 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.000 with Dave Chappelle and Tiffany Haddich. We were in Charlotte, 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.320 North Carolina. Charlotte, North Carolina, you were the greatest place 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.000 that I've been on the road since that's not That's 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.240 not this credit any other cities. Charlotte just had some 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.560 kind of magic about it. And then the next day 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.000 I went to Saint Louis with Tiffany Hadi. Saint Louis, 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.760 you were fantastic. Then I was in Atlanta with the pageant. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.520 I did an interview with Comedy Height magazine with Siphony. 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.040 You guys, go listen to this on YouTube, the big 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.079 one that's coming out in a week. And now I'm 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.400 in Saint Louis, going to know. Now I'm in Detroit, 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.480 going to Canada tomorrow with Tiffany had it. And then 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.960 Friday and hamm and casino and Saturday, I am finally 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.800 able to say I can go home and do coffee 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.600 time in my window with my bad blind that you 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.600 guys love to point out. 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.919 It's been gorgeous here. We had beautiful weather for five days. 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.040 I don't even know if it's a PC term anymore, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.040 but we used to call it an Indian summer when 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.000 the summer came like well after summertime. We had eighty 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.880 five degrees for five days, and now right now it 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.440 is thirty six degrees. So all of a sudden, Halloween 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.200 hit yesterday and it came in with a bang. Fall 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.560 came right in with it. It is Chile, and I 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.520 guess the whole country been has been having some sort 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.799 of something going on with the weather. You know, there's 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:31.680 no global warming. 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.360 You heard. The weather is got the country crazy and 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.160 people just crazy period. We did not come on vast 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.040 week late Jon because I was traveling, but we do 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.800 want to come on, and so I'm gonna come on 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.560 with the syrup this week. I'm feeling it's heavy and 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.840 it's still very prevalent, and the syrup is heavy from 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.320 prayers to all the people affected by the tragedy and 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.080 the senseless murders that happened in Maine last week. It 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.640 was just barbaric and I don't even know what words 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.600 to say, but prayers to all the children who lost parents, 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.440 all the parents who lost children, all the family members 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.480 who lost other family members. It was so tragic, and 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.880 so said, I don't even know if I ever got 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.840 to the root of the Storybobby, but I do know 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.160 that they apparently found a god with a self inflicted 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:25.680 gum rong dead. It just yeah, it's crazy. 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.080 We have according to Axius and BBC, they were giving 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.360 out some numbers and we have had in twenty twenty three. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.200 Hold on to your socks, and I really do mean, 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.680 I shouldn't even make light of it. Five hundred and 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:42.880 sixty five mass shootings. It's marking the third the third 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:47.440 consecutive year that the nation has surpassed five hundred and 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:52.560 through September. So that doesn't even include the Lewiston people 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.839 that were killed, the eighteen that were killed, five hundred 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:01.360 and seventy one dead and nineteen on one hundred and 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:07.720 forty seven wounded. It is absolutely crazy. I think we're 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.440 going to have a lot more information as they start 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.680 to peel back the onion With the Lewiston case. He 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.919 was a reservist who was also a trainer, you know, 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:26.880 with with guns. Spend time over the summer doing his training. 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.040 The Army pulled him from that sent him for two 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:36.520 weeks into a mental facility because he was having They 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.320 were free, he was going to harm himself or other people. 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:44.120 And for some reason talk about needing gun reform. The 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.240 legal system or the system that they have set up 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.760 for guns in Maine. They don't have the red flag. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.680 And red flag is when you could say, for one 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.520 of your kids' flame, or your mom or your brothers 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.640 or whatever, you could say they're having some sort of episode, 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.640 you know, tell authorities and they'll take those weapons away 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:07.680 from them. They don't have that. They had to lobby 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.600 with the gun people and they got something called yellow flag. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.520 And the yellow flag is not as strict as the 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.120 red flag. Uh, it means there's more bureaucracy with it. 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:23.760 So you have to have a medical provider or somebody 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.320 that's official make that standing. But he had two weeks 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:32.440 in in the hospital. So why somebody somebody there that 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.839 the information that was there because I saw on I 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.520 believe it was on CNN. The army did say that 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.239 he should not be allowed to have a weapon. Why 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.000 didn't somebody go and get that. I don't understand. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.440 Yeah, and the part of that story that bothered me 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.520 the absolute most barbing them. Was mind barger that the 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.080 news even shared the fact that this man was a 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.200 weapons trainer, he's in the Army reserve. And then they 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.880 had on record that he had been to issues, So 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.760 why even have him still in that position? And they 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.800 only put him in there for two weeks. They didn't 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.360 say were and he came back to work or that. 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.920 It's almost like, dude, who's stupid us or y'all. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.760 I don't know he was. They did say that he couldn't, 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:16.840 that he was on I don't know. I don't know 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.680 what the right word is. I think it's more of 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.080 a medical leaf flame. I can't say he was suspended, 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.080 but he needed help. They felt that he needed some 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.840 sort of help, is what I've read so far. But 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.880 it's almost like he fell through the cracks. It's like, yeah, 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.280 like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand's doing. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.840 The family right along, you and I have spoken about 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:42.400 this as it was happening, had informed him, had informed 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.760 the authority, so that this guy needed help. You know, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.559 he he has you know, flown off the edge. Now 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.760 they're trying to say that the catalyst for this is 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.280 back in February when his girlfriend broke up with him. 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.640 I don't. I think that might have just been the 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.040 last draw. But I think if you've got mental issues, 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.560 you got mental issues. It's not it's not just a girlfriend. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:10.520 Yeah, whatever, whatever it is, he stole and affected, He 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:15.520 stole eighteenized and affected so many more, right right, because yes, 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.520 because you don't dad, don't mean that you're not gonna 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.280 have nightmares or track. This was just a barbaric tragic 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.960 and I don't want them with sugarcoated. And I just 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.920 couldn't understand how they couldn't have caught him soon or 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.040 found him. So because here's the thing, we can see 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.480 what he's he doing from down here. You mean to 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.440 tell me with all the heat senses and dogs and 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.640 all of the the drones, y'all couldn't find this man? 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.400 Well they I do. I do want to. You know, 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.520 Like California is a little bit different than it is 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.840 here in New England. So because we've had a superfic 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.240 we're talking about it being warm, right, we have had 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.400 a really warm summer, the warmest in history actually up 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.000 in New England. The leaves haven't fallen off the trees 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.640 claim so it was hard to get drowne in that 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:07.360 could actually get the tree exactly. We just had. I 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:08.960 think I sent you a picture of a tree right 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.480 this week, they've all they're all everything has. If that 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.920 had happened this week, I think they might have had 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.440 a quicker outcome because all the leaves are stunting to fall, 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.800 so it would make it a little easier the heat 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.720 seeking stuff. I agree with that, but it's it's super 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.520 tricky in these super heavily wooded areas. So I can't 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.440 I can't you know, on that, I can't give them 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.800 the thumbs down, but disappointed I can the thumbs down 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.480 for me is main doesn't have doesn't require background checks 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.079 on the on the sales of guns. They don't have 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.200 a red red flag. They have the that yellow that 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.280 I just told you. They don't prevent domestic abusers from 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:51.400 accessing guns. They don't ban assault weapons. They they don't 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:58.760 limit magazine capacity, they don't require concealed carry permits. They 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.760 they don't restrict open carry, and they don't have a 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:03.480 waiting period. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.280 So well, they need some of that. Some of that 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.920 is going to have to be reformed, and I understand 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.520 why some of it is not because they have a 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.600 lot of nature, and especially in that area, So you 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.959 have to have a weapon to stop a damn moose. 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:21.960 But yep, something has to be done, something has to 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.760 be reformed, because, like you said, Bobby, there's no wait 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:29.400 limit or anything. There's no no, no, no license needed 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.960 for the long gun. You stop a moose, you don't 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.880 stop people. You stop a buffalo, you don't stop people. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.040 Yeah, no, I agree. I don't know. I don't understand 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.760 the assault weapons. They do have a congressman up there, 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.760 Jared Golden, who is actually was in the Marine Corps himself, 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.480 who voted to He was one of the people that 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.160 helped negotiate. I guess what the system that they have 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.480 up there now. And he said he's counting from own 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.199 self for for accountability that he was actually wrong with 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.679 the stuff that they put into place. So and he's 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.679 changing his stance on al assault weapons. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:13.439 So, you know, and prayers, prayers, and Gods, God please 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.840 touch that area because it's so in all these affected areas. 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.480 My big fear about whenever I see stuff like the 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.920 mass shootings, Bobby, I'm always worried about the copycat effect. 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.920 I'm always a worried about what kid is watching this 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.000 now or what man or woman because they don't have 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.480 to be A man's watching this down and say, oh, 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.320 I want to make history. So if this one Q eighteen, 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.520 I got that, I'll do this one. I got to 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.360 kill twenty five. It's just good. Even over the. 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.360 Weekend they had eleven more over the weekend Indianapolis, there 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.840 was one I think it's called Yaibor in Florida. It's 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.240 a part of Tampa. They had another shooting where two 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.800 were dead, sixteen injured. Chicago's West Side had fifteen people shot. 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.120 I mean, what you're stating, it's already happening. You know, 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.440 you already have a bunch of other people. We didn't 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.840 even get to report on this, and just over the weekend. 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.720 Look how much never mind with the holiday yesterday, how 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.920 much craziness was probably out there. But I mean he did. 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:15.320 They did find him with self inflicted wound by the 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.960 recycling plant, which I guess fired him. He shot up 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.720 the places that he used to go with the girlfriend. Yeah, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.800 so sad. I feel one of them was a fourteen 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.680 year older and there was a sixteen year older that 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.559 was shot. But he seems to be He's in a 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.800 Boston hospital and he seems to be doing okay so far. 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.199 I don't know about the psych portion of it, how 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:42.040 he'll do that way, but he seems like he's physically 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:43.000 he's healing. 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.280 Yeah, oh still a fair Bobby. So scared it is 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.280 to all the families and the children. I watched that story, 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.760 and this is what made me know that, Yep, we 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.880 all have We may all have and I'm not saying 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.520 we all have, but we may all have some some 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.840 of racist or some sense of prejudice in some sort 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.040 of way. But when I said it in my being, 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.959 and I watched that story un photo MSNBC, and I'm 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.120 not talking about the actual story, but I was talking 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.280 about when they were to actually talk about the victims, 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.800 the parents, and they were thinking they were showing the 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.400 pictures of those dads with their children and those people 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.160 who died with their kids and their kids. It just 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.840 really bothered me, Bobby. That removed all the titles, removed 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.040 the color of my skin, remove the religion, and we're 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.480 all Americans, but we don't see that. It really bothered me. 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.120 I was in tears, almost in tears, Bobby, just like 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:36.840 I was when they killed all the black people at 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.000 the grocery store over there in New York. It just 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:45.439 it's just people, you know, and those people belonged to somebody. 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.240 Everybody's life matters and. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:52.240 Doing regular stuffling like, there wasn't anything here that was 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.640 I mean, you and I can't go out and go 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.480 bowling at a bowling tournament. You can't go out for 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.640 a burger on a Friday night. I mean, you can't 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.240 these not There's no risky behavior here. 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:04.000 You know. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.839 It's not like you're at two in the morning, you're 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.320 out and god knows what even then you should nothing 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.960 should happen. But there was absolutely no risk risky behavior. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.760 It is devastating. I feel terrible for the community. I 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.520 saw that James Taylor actually went up to the kids' 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.520 football I think he was trying to perk them up 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.440 football game. They had some big tournament and he's saying 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.560 that the Star Spangled banner, so that was sort of nice. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.120 They're getting a little they're getting a little noticed. So 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.440 anything that's going to try to help them heal it 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.680 or or try to take the stigma off, because I 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.320 don't know how you live in that community and it's 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.040 a big college community as well, and you're not looking 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.320 over your shoulder the whole time. 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.800 Oh you mentioned James Taylor. Myself by James Taylor is operate. 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:51.120 I love operating. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:57.080 He's getting honest to God flavor. It's like a mirror 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.720 of he's getting older. He did all right, but he 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.600 wasn't that James Taylor singing of old. I'm like, oh, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:07.160 we're all getting old the right hated, but he did well. 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.440 And I agree with you the prayers out, I feel 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.120 like that's all we do is we're praying for people 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.960 on this podcast. But but we are we feel you know, 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.400 this is this is horrific, so. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.360 And this and since we're already there again, we're not 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:26.480 going to discuss the war, but we wanted some prayers 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:32.760 out to Israel as well as PALASTI were as stupid. Yeah, yes, 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.480 we do not agree with the war. I do not 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.240 agree with the war. That is my thing is I 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.280 don't know Bobby stands, but I know Bobby does not 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.160 like war. But we do not agree with the war. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.040 And I'm not getting in the middle of the conversation, 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.840 but prayers to all the people involved over there, especially 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.160 the very very innocent. 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.120 Absolutely, I'm right with you and a few people I mean, 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:53.800 the only thing that we can talk about that would 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.840 be positive is there have been a few people that 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.400 have been that have been released. So we had a 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.800 few Americans, we had a few, a few Israelis. I 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:08.320 know that they're negotiations. Blincoln got something done in Biden 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.480 where they're going to allow they're going to allow some 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.400 of the people to start coming home, the Americans and 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.200 a few others, get them over into their own countries. 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.480 The people that don't belong there get them out, which 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.680 to me makes the you know, as long as the 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.000 other side isn't shooting us down, it kind of makes 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:28.840 the most sense to get everybody back or they want 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.480 to Your vacation is over, folks. 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:37.560 Yeah, after that, Okay, what we're going by, we're going to. 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:42.480 We are going politics. So just on that note, speaking 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.440 about that war, in the Ukraine War, Biden's requested a 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:52.040 one oh six billion emergency funding package, where fourteen billion 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:56.960 would go to the Israel conflict, sixty one would go 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:01.440 to Ukraine's war, ten billion would go towards humanitarian aid 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.280 for the refugees and the people who are who have 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.600 been losing out. You know, in between all the wars 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:13.240 and thirteen billion to border security, and oh then the 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.320 last is ten billion to Taiwan and the Indo Pacific. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.960 The Democratics are passing the package on its merits right now, 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.399 but just because everything is in such a crisis and 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.560 Republicans say that it's throwing money at the border, they're 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.720 stuck on the border as one of the places they 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.480 want to have a different fix for the immigration issues, 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.720 which the immigration has been going on since the beginning 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.560 of time. Flame, I don't know, you're not going to 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.000 fix it on the whole. 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:44.440 Money sism immigrants. 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.960 I am. I'm only second generation, you know, so I'm 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.520 not even My grandparents are the ones that came over. 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.399 So I can't even say that I've been. I feel 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.560 really like an immigrant, you know. I saw the immigrants 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.679 and how they fought and how they worked. You know, 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.680 I still have the scar from it in a positive way. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.120 So I don't I don't understand, but that's where it's 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.800 being held up. We'll pray for them as well, Sweet 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.640 and Mary, see if we can get some of this money. 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.040 I know that they are in negotiations about giving up 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.240 their money to buy what has the Speaker of the 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:19.760 house there, Oh, we don't have one. 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.359 We finally, so we get that nut bag. That's a 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.080 whole other, that's a whole other, you know, kettle of fish. 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.040 I don't know what the heck we don't have one. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.880 Yeah, no one that's willing to work. You know who 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:36.399 they who? They ended up getting put into place. He 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.119 just doesn't seem he walks around with his Bible. He 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.000 believes that you can pray it away for the love 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:47.600 of God. You know, I don't know. I'm hoping that 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:52.399 he can sort of remove himself or what his needs 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.240 are and get to the work of what the people are. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.720 We've got to you know, we've got to pass our budget, 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.159 you know, the gut. It's going to shut down in 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.800 so many days. So I'm hoping to Jesus that uh, 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:10.359 that he can he can get something done. Fingers that 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.520 chows crossed. We haven't heard anything yet. 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.040 Okay, Well, while we are in the house, you know, 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:21.119 they voted today to try to have George Santos removed 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.159 and he is He's still in his position even with 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.800 all the lads of this country is innocent and proved 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.840 until proven guilty. How about he is guilty as and 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.480 busted and they will not get rid of him. Okay, 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.480 I need you to explain that to me. Boy I 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:36.200 count but. 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.760 They needed two thirds majority and and and fortunately they 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.159 fell short. The final vote was one seventy nine to 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.920 two thirteen, So I don't And only five times have 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:50.359 they ever expelled, you know, a representative, and the last 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:54.479 was two thousand and two. It was a Democrat, James 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.320 traffick Ant I think it was his name, and he 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:01.000 was convicted, convicted of ten felony counts. I'm hoping that 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.879 the fact that they even tried it the once, uh, 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.480 that that they'll push it along. It was done only 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.600 at the end of last week, I believe, uh, And 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:12.359 it's sort of hot off the press, and they didn't 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.880 get it done today. I don't understand. The only thing 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.199 that I can think of flame is that he hasn't 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.640 been convicted yet. He's been indicted, you know, and accused 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.119 of and that's what he's hanging He's hanging on like 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.359 one of those cats with their fingernails, just you know, 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.520 digging in so they don't get pulled back, saying that 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.800 he's innocent. He has never had a chance to even 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:37.080 to prove his innocence and blah blah, blah blah blah 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.280 blah blah. So I don't know if that's going to 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.840 be it. If that's the reason, I kind of imagine 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.440 every Democrat wouldn't have wouldn't have jumped on board that. 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.480 I mean, he's an embarrassment. For the love of God. 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.399 Well, well, the Republicans to hold him in there because 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:54.159 he's holding a power position, that's all that is by Clippy, 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.560 you know that, because they don't want his aft. He's 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.920 like you said, he's an embarrassing I can't but I 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:00.959 can't imagine. 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.560 I don't know all the ins and outs of what 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.960 the rules are for replacing him, but I would think, 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:12.920 just like when Feinstein passed that the governor or there's 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:16.600 somebody else that could put somebody could put somebody in 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:19.600 to replace him. I don't know, but I think it 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:21.280 said they don't get right, they don't want to give 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:23.280 up the seat. I don't know if they can do 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.720 the same thing, you know, in the with with his 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:31.600 position as they did when someone passes another Chucola. 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:35.520 And we still haven't heard from LGBT community, because not 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:37.840 only is he an embarrassment to the Republican Party and 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:42.520 enter the country, but he represents LGBT qui ava and 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.679 we haven't heard from him seeing anything in a negative 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:49.040 consentation and he positive. Yeah, I'm not saying that he's 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:54.440 anti gay, but he is. He was back Santos, who 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.960 is don't say gay Biel and no drag shows. 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:01.320 Yeah, I don't. I mean, I don't. I haven't heard anybody. 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:03.439 I haven't. They've been very quiet period with him. I 0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:07.200 haven't heard yay we love him or no, we hate him. 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:09.800 He certainly wasn't doing anything that was that was help 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:14.760 in the community. Uh so, I don't know. Another disgrace 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:19.840 is that that New Jersey he's a Democratic Senator Menendez. 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:26.480 Oh yeah, him his wife was getting over paul lice. 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.760 Allegedly and that's what he said. So he went to 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:32.800 Uh So, that's it's something to think about. Do you 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:37.320 have or should they when you're indicted of something like 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:41.320 that of helping another foreign country, did you have your 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.800 security clearance lowered or taken away? Because he went to 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:50.960
