Speaker 3: Okay, here goes.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: The first thing I want to say is it's Memorial Day.
Speaker 3: So happy Memorial Day for everybody, for all of our
Speaker 3: soldiers out there, especially those the families who were left behind.
Speaker 3: Are you doing anything special?
Speaker 4: I'm a barbecue. If I can afford it because the
Speaker 4: price of meat is ridiculous. I've been looking for my
Speaker 4: old girls that I've been looking for my old gurdlers
Speaker 4: that I used to borrow me. But I can't it.
Speaker 4: And I thank you Bobby for saying that, because in
Speaker 4: the black community, I'm going to say this at a
Speaker 4: lot of youngsters don't know what Memorial Day is. They
Speaker 4: think it's just to barbecue or to celebrate the how
Speaker 4: they don't know that we are celebrating soldiers, past president
Speaker 4: and future who have put up their time in their
Speaker 4: life and some have given the ultimate sacrifice, which is
Speaker 4: their lives for this country. So this is a time
Speaker 4: of remembrance for all the soldiers. My father was in
Speaker 4: the Navy, so may he rest in peace. But thank
Speaker 4: you for your service. And again, thank you all for
Speaker 4: your service, what past president and future, because that's what
Speaker 4: Memorial Day is about. It's about soldiers and falling or
Speaker 4: you know, they're still working right now in the military.
Speaker 4: So yeah, thank you for acknowledging it and.
Speaker 3: Their families because their families absolutely take the hit, just
Speaker 3: like the jail.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they sacrifice, they really.
Speaker 3: I mean, they really do. Financial I mean, they really
Speaker 3: do something else that we want We want to keep
Speaker 3: reminding everybody as we're we're ending up May is it's

Speaker 3: So yeah, good, I'm good at hitting hitting? Is it
Speaker 3: hitt and quit? Is that the expression? I bet you're
Speaker 3: a master? Do you know something that happened here in
Speaker 3: Massachusetts was so your mass is our public school system.
Speaker 3: Here you mass Dartmouth graduation a billionaire Rob Hale. I
Speaker 3: believe he gave the commencement speech in an envelope for
Speaker 3: each student as they passed. He had one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 3: It wasn't that great. They were the student was to
Speaker 3: keep five thousand dollars and to find a charity for
Speaker 3: the other I mean five hundred dollars, excuse me, and
Speaker 3: find a charity for the other five hundred dollars. And
Speaker 3: I thought that was pretty terrific. I hope the kids
Speaker 3: actually do it though.
Speaker 4: I love that he put his money where his mouth
Speaker 4: is because so many people make broken promises that don't
Speaker 4: follow through. And I appreciate him for that. And that
Speaker 4: was a lot of students, So thank you to that,
Speaker 4: Thank you to him. I appreciate that. Speaking of people
Speaker 4: speaking at colleges, Bobby, you know they I know we
Speaker 4: talked about Buser last week just we just passed by it. Yep.
Speaker 4: But Buck there was speaking to his people, and we're
Speaker 4: going to get into boy by speaking to your people
Speaker 4: on how much that resonates with the people that you
Speaker 4: speak to who think like you. But uh, yeah, a
Speaker 4: lot of the I would love to speak at a college, Bobby.
Speaker 3: Oh, teach them, but I do. I think you'd have
Speaker 3: for equality and inclusion, and you've got some great ideas.
Speaker 3: I think that you could. You have a lot to
Speaker 3: teach kids racism, you know. I think as they go
Speaker 3: off into the world to be young adults that are
Speaker 3: actually working in the workfield, teach them a little customer service.
Speaker 4: Will you, good God, please.
Speaker 3: Honest to God, My poor sister today, speaking of customer service.
Speaker 3: You went into a company, uh for cable, to pick
Speaker 3: up the cable boxes because we're going to the Cape
Speaker 3: this weekend for a Memorial Day. And two gentlemen sat
Speaker 3: and watched her. She brought Teresa with her to get
Speaker 3: her out of the house and my sister's wheelchair bound
Speaker 3: for those who don't know, And they sat with no
Speaker 3: customers in the shop and watched her struggle through the doors,
Speaker 3: trying to open it up, pulled it with her, but
Speaker 3: pulled Terry through, in and out. It's not even like
Speaker 3: once she did their business with them, they hopped up
Speaker 3: and opened the door for her. And I am I'm
Speaker 3: just so disappointed with some of our youth. They forget
Speaker 3: customer service. What happened to just manners. So anyway, but
Speaker 3: my sister always handled like a champ.
Speaker 4: God bless her manage a tide at home. So a
Speaker 4: lot of people, a lot of parents are not parenting.
Speaker 4: Where are we going, Bobby, where are we going?
Speaker 3: Okay, So something else that I'm just gonna it's just
Speaker 3: going to be a quick mention. So I love Katie
Speaker 3: Quirk and she put the report out daily and something
Speaker 3: that I found interesting speaking about kids, it's something new
Speaker 3: that's happening as people are being hacked and want whatnot.
Speaker 3: They're calling it financial. Let me say this sex torsion
Speaker 3: well with a with a twisted here. They're not extorting adults.
Speaker 3: They're extorting teenagers. So they're luring there are people obviously
Speaker 3: not from this country. They are luring young men and
Speaker 3: women in to basically sexting and then threatening them with
Speaker 3: I don't know how much money a teenager could have.
Speaker 3: I mean, they have the all allowance right to posting
Speaker 3: the pictures bullying them unless they send money. And I thought, people,
Speaker 3: we need to really pay attention. There's a really big
Speaker 3: uptick according to the FBI in this pay attention to
Speaker 3: what your kids are doing. Everybody. Don't just let them
Speaker 3: because it's leading to higher suicide, especially in men. That
Speaker 3: the boys are taking it worse than the girls. So
Speaker 3: in our mental health awareness, I figured we would mention that.
Speaker 3: So now we're going to get into the need of everything.
Speaker 4: And please teach you, Please teach your children to sit
Speaker 4: out us. I know this, and I have teenagers as well,
Speaker 4: and I tell them all the time, it's out there
Speaker 4: for ever. If you do it one time, it's out
Speaker 4: there forever. And that's what they're just being it. So
Speaker 4: you have to you really have to push instell that
Speaker 4: in your kid and scare them. Fear works. If you
Speaker 4: don't believe fear works, look at this Republican Party fear works.
Speaker 4: So you have to scare your kid, you know, don't
Speaker 4: do that because you're gonna be all plaid everywhere. And
Speaker 4: I can't take that down. You can't because once it's
Speaker 4: out and it shared one time, it is out there forever.
Speaker 3: And that's what they're saying. They're saying that these oversea
Speaker 3: offenders that's how they're calling it, are really manipulating these kids,
Speaker 3: and it's leading to these things. No, don't, once it's
Speaker 3: out there, it's not like when we were kids and
Speaker 3: there were old polaroids and you could tear the polaroid
Speaker 3: up and get rid of the get rid of the
Speaker 3: film once it's in the cloud, so to speak. That
Speaker 3: that's it, but just something I thought it was a
Speaker 3: little bit interesting.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, Bobbie, I still have a polaroid of
Speaker 4: me new and when I was twenty two. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: thank god, I still have it. It's a little faded,
Speaker 4: but you can see the important parts.
Speaker 3: I'd have to hold mine upside down to figure out
Speaker 3: where the where the pieces were supposed to go if
Speaker 3: I wanted it to look like I am today. It's
Speaker 3: stuff that's happening this week before we get into the
Speaker 3: real need of our conversation today, the Biden administration took
Speaker 3: another step for reclassifying marijuana as a Class three so
Speaker 3: that yay, you know, the Justice Apartment first put that
Speaker 3: out in April, and he's just kind of he's just
Speaker 3: pushing it along, moving and along, moving and along, which
Speaker 3: we'd like to see. He also gave the commencement speak
Speaker 3: at Morehouse College, speaking about graduations, and overall it was
Speaker 3: accepted pretty well. You know in the critics that would
Speaker 3: go in and tear them apart. They really didn't. He
Speaker 3: had some protesters about Gossam. There were a handful of
Speaker 3: kids when they panned the crowd and showed us that
Speaker 3: sat backwards in the chair. That was their protest. And
Speaker 3: there was one professor that stood and was backwards and
Speaker 3: held her he end up and that was sort of
Speaker 3: her protest. But overall, there was no screaming and booing
Speaker 3: and all that jazz. So hopefully, hopefully he landed with
Speaker 3: some of those those kids and or their parents, because
Speaker 3: we're certainly going to need those votes, let me tell you.
Speaker 3: He also this week, by executive order or executive privilege,
Speaker 3: pulled the trans of the recordings of the ben Her interview,
Speaker 3: but he did release the transcript. So the GOP is
Speaker 3: up in arms, but they have everything they need but
Speaker 3: don't have to do with sit and read. He just
Speaker 3: didn't want those out, and he basically is trying to
Speaker 3: protect Merrick Garland from any criminal exposure.
Speaker 4: Boo to the woods that turned their back on President
Speaker 4: by at Morehouse College and to the professor. We understand
Speaker 4: that you guys have your feelings about what is happening
Speaker 4: over on the other side of the world, but do
Speaker 4: you not understand that America is in a crisis. And
Speaker 4: I understand that you may have fads over there and
Speaker 4: it affects you, but America is in crisis, and disrespect
Speaker 4: will follow you. The disrespect that you have given to
Speaker 4: the commander in chief will follow you. And that's no
Speaker 4: matter who's sitting in an office. Even when Trump was
Speaker 4: in the office, he was still the president of the
Speaker 4: United States, he was still the president.
Speaker 3: And that's it. You just said something, I don't care
Speaker 3: for the man, but there's a position. I still disrespect it.
Speaker 3: You just don't do that because you're disrespecting the position.
Speaker 3: And I think that's maybe that's what a lot of
Speaker 3: people don't get right now. You know that they don't
Speaker 3: get that. It's it's the position that we're supposed to
Speaker 3: be so good, good with, not necessarily the man that's
Speaker 3: actually sitting in it. If more people understood that, maybe
Speaker 3: we'd be further along and we'd be getting people to
Speaker 3: actually do their jobs.
Speaker 4: The lack of the lack of respect in this country
Speaker 4: is mind boggling. Body it really is. It is.
Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, I do have to say it probably always
Speaker 3: existed playing but I do feel like Trump opened the
Speaker 3: door on that when he started making front of a
Speaker 3: special needs person or you know, well, I'm not even
Speaker 3: getting into the host of ridiculous things he said. I
Speaker 3: think people felt like, okay, well, if he's doing it,
Speaker 3: then he's to talk. You know, he's supposed to go.
Speaker 4: If he comes from the top, then you think it's okay.
Speaker 4: That's why I see it when aliens come and they say,
Speaker 4: take us to your leader, whether he's the president or not,
Speaker 4: I'm giving him his address. Mar Lago. He's right there.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, speaking of Myra Lago. Did you see.
Speaker 3: I don't have a lot of information on this. I
Speaker 3: just noticed it in the evening news as I was
Speaker 3: walking by. He is accusing the FBI of assassinating him,
Speaker 3: with Joe Biden signing off on it on the twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two raid, which was so untrue. It's not funny.
Speaker 3: You know, it's been proved wrong a million times. The
Speaker 3: FBI came forward and said, you were at your safest
Speaker 3: when we were at your door. Nobody gave it an
Speaker 3: order to take you out. But what do you always say? Distractions? Right?
Speaker 3: And so yep, when you're when we're talking about this, look,
Speaker 3: what's happening, even even with the trial, which we'll talk
Speaker 3: about now. If everybody he's getting a press conference every
Speaker 3: single night, every single night, he is getting a press conference.
Speaker 3: It's you know, what do they say? Any notoriety is good?
Speaker 3: And he already press that's it. He's taking it. And
Speaker 3: we're now talking about the big things. He's talking about
Speaker 3: crazy things, crazy things that he wants to do. So, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, ridiculous.
Speaker 4: So the trial about how about the refrigerator, how Cody
Speaker 4: is in the courtroom, and well, if you're going to
Speaker 4: keep pooting in there, it needs to be cold, because
Speaker 4: you imagine a warm good God Jesus no, ridiculous. Well,
Speaker 4: but he has. He is taking advantage of that. And
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I can't even follow him for that boy,
Speaker 4: because he's playing.
Speaker 3: He's playing the hell out victim. He's a victim. And
Speaker 3: that's exactly what he's saying that he's going in to
Speaker 3: this next term as a victim. He is going to
Speaker 3: clean up. It'll be his revenge, his revenge tour. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what he's looking for. But the hush money, it
Speaker 3: looks like that's coming to a close. The prosecution ended, and.
Speaker 4: He never took the stand, and he said he and
Speaker 4: he said he would take the stand. He was not
Speaker 4: afraid to take the stand. Had he taken the stand,
Speaker 4: I think what they would have had the leg up
Speaker 4: on him because he always over talks and says too much.
Speaker 4: But from what it looks like to me, his old attorney,
Speaker 4: Michael Cohen, who was so bung hold on, we're going
Speaker 4: to get him, We're going to get him after he
Speaker 4: took the stand. To me, Michael Cohen did more harm
Speaker 4: for more harm for the prosecution that he did for
Speaker 4: the defense.
Speaker 3: The only thing I can say about Michael Cohen is
Speaker 3: we all knew what he was going in. That's number
Speaker 3: one and number two he was. He was calm. He
Speaker 3: didn't overreact, you know, like Costello. He totally or Costello
Speaker 3: some people pronounce it if your eyris should say Costello.
Speaker 3: He completely overreacted. Robert Costello was the was the attorney
Speaker 3: that met with Cohen. Colin didn't actually end up using him,
Speaker 3: but he was being asked questions. He was saying, geez,
Speaker 3: when when things were being struck. In fact, at one
Speaker 3: time he said to strike a statement, which you can't say.
Speaker 3: The judge had to have everybody removed from the court,
Speaker 3: and it kind of dressed him down when when the
Speaker 3: court was empty and brought everybody back in and Colin
Speaker 3: didn't do that. Even when they tried to catch him
Speaker 3: with the stealing, he was very open. He had had
Speaker 3: his bonus cut and it felt that he was owed something,
Speaker 3: especially since he did pay out of his own pocket
Speaker 3: the one hundred and thirty thousand and four Stormy Daniels
Speaker 3: and was waiting to be reimbursed for it. And he
Speaker 3: took thirty thousand. It was either fifty or sixty that
Speaker 3: was supposed to be given to some sort of vendor,
Speaker 3: and he owned it. He didn't blink, he didn't get ruffled.
Speaker 3: So that's the only thing is people if people kind
Speaker 3: of look at that and remember as there as deliberating,
Speaker 3: we all knew what he was.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: Do we think what he said was true? And did
Speaker 3: he put the pieces together?
Speaker 4: No? And because he has lied so much in the past,
Speaker 4: and he and then when he would say one thing,
Speaker 4: he tried to like right again what you said. He
Speaker 4: was calm and court, but then he kept going on
Speaker 4: his live, on his Instagram, on his Twitter and bashing
Speaker 4: and saying things that were outrageous about President Trump, and
Speaker 4: it's not that they were lies, but you can't be
Speaker 4: two people now, you have to be one person on one.
Speaker 4: So they would use what he said on his own,
Speaker 4: on his own social medi platforms against him when he
Speaker 4: was trying to talk in a nice calming voice in court.
Speaker 4: It just was a conflict adventures. But of course Trump
Speaker 4: is very familiar with that. And you know, because that's
Speaker 4: the same man who said he would never play golf
Speaker 4: and then played golf on his own golf courses and
Speaker 4: charge it to the government. I'm just saying, I want,
Speaker 4: I need to constantly remind you all of the things
Speaker 4: that this man has done.
Speaker 3: Still last week and he was he was took the
Speaker 3: day off of court, they have the day off so
Speaker 3: he could go to his child's graduation, which I feel
Speaker 3: like he almost got strong armed in the end. And
Speaker 3: he was going to a fundraise, right think he ended
Speaker 3: up golfing too, like I don't know, unless maybe that's
Speaker 3: where he does his fundraising, you know, is on the
Speaker 3: golf course.
Speaker 4: Well, we know he does a lot of things on it.
Speaker 4: We know he does a lot of things on the
Speaker 4: golf course. He buried bodies and everything else anyway, any who,
Speaker 4: But Michael Cohen, I don't know Bobby. He looks from
Speaker 4: the outside look in the end, because I wasn't in
Speaker 4: the court room. He looks very shaky. But the the
Speaker 4: unbridled support that Trump has from the big wigs, from
Speaker 4: the Speaker of the House to so many different big
Speaker 4: wigs showing up at court to support him is mind boggling.
Speaker 4: In this uniform, yeah yeah, and this man is there
Speaker 4: to write guilty, but he got all these people showing
Speaker 4: up on his behalf. It is. It's almost like we're doomed.
Speaker 4: So when we get to Project twenty twenty five, I
Speaker 4: want you guys to remember that they've been setting this
Speaker 4: up for quite some time.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, when we get there, we'll talk about but
Speaker 3: that it's something that's not new. They're just embellishing on it.
Speaker 3: But I think to finish out the court case, I
Speaker 3: think it's going to have to be how it's summarized
Speaker 3: on both sides, because I think you could you could
Speaker 3: sort of there's a way that you could kind of
Speaker 3: play it, you know, and we'll we'll see what happens,
Speaker 3: you know, and who goes.
Speaker 4: First in the summary? Is it the prosecution or the defense.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know. To be honest with you,
Speaker 3: I'd love to say I know, I don't who has first.
Speaker 4: I think I think the prosecution goes first and then
Speaker 4: the defense. I almost switched around, but I think that's
Speaker 4: how it goes. I watched enough law and Order s
Speaker 4: for you, so I think I think I think that's
Speaker 4: how it goes. I'm not sure if I'm wrong, you'll, ladies, Jim,
Speaker 4: y'all correct me, y'all will anyway, that's what y'all do.
Speaker 4: We appreciate you all of that. Okay, Bobby, let's get
Speaker 4: to the meat because the soup is boiling.
Speaker 3: Oh jeez, Louise, hold on, let's move it on. So
Speaker 3: we're gonna move go on down to Oh before we
Speaker 3: do that, did you see Rudy Giuliani was served at
Speaker 3: his idiom.
Speaker 4: Yes, and he was Oh my god, did you see
Speaker 4: his face, Bobby, he was mortified. Oh my god, they
Speaker 4: got him. He's been hiding out and hiding out. But
Speaker 4: then he had a public birthday party and they got
Speaker 4: his ass at the birthday party.
Speaker 3: For for somebody in someone's backyard. You think he would
Speaker 3: have like a swanky, fancy schmancy something. Uh uh, Nope,
Speaker 3: they didn't and they got him go into his car.
Speaker 3: But you know what they got him. He was bragging
Speaker 3: about not being gone like you hunt. He only had
Speaker 3: so many days, and they think they got him on
Speaker 3: the last day and they told everybody he was going
Speaker 3: to the party. It's like, well, you know, like, if
Speaker 3: you're going to be that transparent, they're going to come
Speaker 3: and they're gonna get you. I don't know what it's
Speaker 3: going to get them and if they can actually get
Speaker 3: anything even out of it. But but I thought that
Speaker 3: was that was too much.
Speaker 4: That speaks, That speaks volumes to the fact that he
Speaker 4: was Donald Trump's a lawyer. He was when he was
Speaker 4: America's mayor. He handled the business, but then he became
Speaker 4: Donald the lawyer. He got on TV and said all
Speaker 4: these bogus things make up running down his face saying
Speaker 4: crazy stuff. It felt and to me it was it
Speaker 4: wasn't even like funny. It was like, that's what he is.
Speaker 4: He kint it down like he's kind of stupid, so
Speaker 4: stupid showed up and in the words of Forrest Gump,
Speaker 4: stupid is that stupid? Does it?
Speaker 3: Does it?
Speaker 4: Is?
Speaker 3: Well, it's you know what I think it really comes
Speaker 3: down to, and this is why I think that he
Speaker 3: and Trump are a match made for each other. It's
Speaker 3: the egos. The egos on these gentlemen. It is unbelievable.
Speaker 3: And they just don't think they're gonna get caught, they're
Speaker 3: gonna get in trouble, They're gonna anything. So I think
Speaker 3: that's that It speaks more to that. Well, look out, Rudy,
Speaker 3: they were coming together.
Speaker 4: They have jail celles that fuel egos.
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't not the truth? Isn't that the truth? Let's
Speaker 3: just say just look look at you got moc meadows
Speaker 3: in one Bandon's going to another one?
Speaker 4: You know, won't won't.
Speaker 3: So the Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: Twenty five, which is a which is a mandate for leadership.
Speaker 3: It is it is a mandate. So it is something
Speaker 3: that actually they didn't call it a Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: It started under Reagan and he called it a mandate
Speaker 3: for leadership. That was that was his title. And then
Speaker 3: they moved it. It was under Nixon originally this Heritage group,
Speaker 3: and then it moved to Reagan. Reagan actually used a
Speaker 3: lot of it during his time, and then now it
Speaker 3: is it is. It's Project twenty twenty five. It's been renamed.
Speaker 4: It's renamed, it's been renamed a couple of times, like
Speaker 4: black People. So now it's called it was called the
Speaker 4: Presidential Transition Project, which is, let me read it to you,
Speaker 4: to you all. It's a collection of policy proposals to
Speaker 4: thoroughly reshape the United States federal government in the event
Speaker 4: of a Republican victory in the twenty twenty four US
Speaker 4: presidential election. It's established in twenty twenty two. The project
Speaker 4: aims to recruit tens of thousands of conservatives to the
Speaker 4: district of Columbia to replace existing federal civil servants. That means,
Speaker 4: if you've been in your job thirty years, they can
Speaker 4: take you right out without question, whom Republicans characterize as
Speaker 4: part of the deep state, and to further the objectives
Speaker 4: of the next Republican president. It adopts a maximalist version
Speaker 4: of the unitary executive theory, which asserts that the president
Speaker 4: has absolute power over the executive branch upon inauguration, which
Speaker 4: means that if Trump is wins and is sworn in,
Speaker 4: he is the king. He is a complete dictator. Is
Speaker 4: his word or no word period. It's a unitary executive
Speaker 4: theory is a disputed interpretation of Article two of the
Speaker 4: Constitution of the United States. It is so mind boggling
Speaker 4: bibby that people we've watched Representative Jasmine Crockett go after
Speaker 4: Margaret Margaret Marjorie Taylor Green about the bleach hair of
Speaker 4: the bad body. But this Project twenty five, oh, this
Speaker 4: Project twenty twenty five wants to cut the DOJ, the
Speaker 4: Department of Justice. They will cut the FBI. They want
Speaker 4: to get rid of the Department of Homeland Security. They
Speaker 4: want to change the climate control. They want to get
Speaker 4: rid of the Department of Commerce, the Federal Communications, the FCC,
Speaker 4: the Federal Communications Commissions, Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Mission.
Speaker 4: They want to get rid of the part of education,
Speaker 4: social Security, Obamacare. Is so many things that they will retract.
Speaker 4: And if he wins, this will happen. This is not
Speaker 4: a maybe or possibility. If he is putting office on
Speaker 4: day one, this will impleare this, this will be implemented
Speaker 4: to this country. So while we are sitting here arguing
Speaker 4: over beef wraps and identity and ideology and religion, they
Speaker 4: are moving this needle so forward. And don't forget that
Speaker 4: they're going to take away diversity, equity, and inclusion that
Speaker 4: we've been pushing for in this country. They're going to
Speaker 4: take away a woman's rights to control her body with abortion.
Speaker 4: President ex President Trump is already talking about banning the
Speaker 4: abortion pill, and he keeps flip flopping on it because
Speaker 4: at first he said he would do it, but then
Speaker 4: when he saw that the female vote change for him,
Speaker 4: he will magine. He's going to leave it up to
Speaker 4: the states. And y'all need to pay attention that Project
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five is very dangerous, not just for black
Speaker 4: people or brown people. It is dangerous for Americans. It
Speaker 4: is dangerous for Americans that is not in the one
Speaker 4: percent of the super super rich, and that is a
Speaker 4: lot of us because most of us are not in
Speaker 4: that in that super super rich. It is going to
Speaker 4: change everything to where he is giving police the power
Speaker 4: to George Floyd, Ahmad Aubrey, Breonna Taylor, and and and
Speaker 4: every day without without nothing. So we watched George Floyd
Speaker 4: die a thousand times on TV with a knee on
Speaker 4: his neck. But thank god that they put Derek Chauvin
Speaker 4: in jail behind that. This means that we can watch
Speaker 4: a death every five minutes of a black or brown
Speaker 4: person a white person. It won't matter because if this
Speaker 4: police is having a discrown to day and there will
Speaker 4: be no nothing, no repercussion to the officers, he's given
Speaker 4: them full power. They can make up a story, say
Speaker 4: that Bobby jaywalks and Fritz Bobby throw her on the
Speaker 4: ground or beat her in here with a billy club
Speaker 4: and nothing will happen to them. Y'all know, Bobby don't
Speaker 4: do nothing illegal. Bobby's giffed. Bobby paid tickets from nineteen seventy.
Speaker 4: But it is so frightening Bobby, because not only am
Speaker 4: I black and trains, but I have children, and you
Speaker 4: have a child, and they're young, and they don't know
Speaker 4: how to deal with a discrow to a police officer
Speaker 4: who don't know how to de escalate the situation and
Speaker 4: does not have to because if he gives them full community,
Speaker 4: they can make up a lot and say, well, he
Speaker 4: had drugs on them and they beat him up or
Speaker 4: he tried to attack. We are living, we are in
Speaker 4: a place of fear, and I fear is winning. I
Speaker 4: need us to be strong and find our courage to
Speaker 4: vote against this because if this gets in office. This
Speaker 4: country as we know, the democracy of America as we
Speaker 4: know it, which is the greatest right now, but it
Speaker 4: is something for us to hold on too, is lost.
Speaker 3: And that's how you have to vote. It's we want,
Speaker 3: we need to save democracy. Because Trump goes further. He
Speaker 3: now has and it's not even we don't even have
Speaker 3: a good handle on what it is, what it entails,
Speaker 3: but he has something not only with Project twenty twenty five,
Speaker 3: he has something called Agenda forty seven. It is Agenda
Speaker 3: forty seven program. He is so angry and feels that
Speaker 3: he was victimized by the FBI, especially they tried to
Speaker 3: undermine him with the Russia Gate, you know, trying to
Speaker 3: trying to get that done, and then the whole Ukraine
Speaker 3: with with Hunter Biden. You know that they were trying
Speaker 3: to push for that and they weren't backing him that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know what we're going to have last I
Speaker 3: think who just man knows the FBI.
Speaker 4: And he wants to dismaster Department of Justice because he
Speaker 4: feels like they went out there him because they kind
Speaker 4: of did to write. Yeah, when I tell you guys,
Speaker 4: and I hear the price, I'm a parent, I'm a
Speaker 4: single parent. Food is high, food is very expensive right now,
Speaker 4: lots of things, but we keep looking at the minuses
Speaker 4: and you're not looking at all the pluses that Biden
Speaker 4: has has accomplished in his four years in office. And
Speaker 4: I wish more people were really pushed that. But that's
Speaker 4: boring news. Boring news don't get sinceationalized news, since sationalized
Speaker 4: news gets all of the play. But if you look
Speaker 4: at that boring news to see all the lovely things
Speaker 4: that President Biden has done as far as with so
Speaker 4: many different things that he has done, and he has
Speaker 4: not finished. He needs four more years. Do you think
Speaker 4: that that man is tired. I'm sure he is. I'm
Speaker 4: sure that man is tired. He's eighty years old. I
Speaker 4: know he's tired. But guess what, he's not tired enough
Speaker 4: to make us lose democracy in this country. And we
Speaker 4: have to hold on to it because, oh, we are
Speaker 4: in such a critical place to where we lose it.
Speaker 4: And if Trump has latently said that, if and when
Speaker 4: he gets in power, he is going to be the
Speaker 4: last president because he's going to switch it from being
Speaker 4: a president to being a dictator. He is now putting
Speaker 4: out things about he's using the Hitler rhetoric of the
Speaker 4: right body is it called the right? The right?
Speaker 3: That was something that was put on he had on
Speaker 3: a funweight raising docum. Now I don't know if he
Speaker 3: was aware of it. I don't know what if he
Speaker 3: wasn't aware of it, but even us talking about it flamed.
Speaker 3: So we were just talking about the publicity. Right, So
Speaker 3: we're talking about him. You know, everybody's up in arms
Speaker 3: that he used the word. I mean, nobody wants that word.
Speaker 3: I swear it was almost done on purpose, so that
Speaker 3: we're all talking about because we're still we're still talking
Speaker 3: about Trump. And if you have some sort of back
Speaker 3: ended people who think that that's that's a great id
Speaker 3: ideology to have, they're going to be voting for him.
Speaker 3: For him. No, it's really it's it's really crazy, this
Speaker 3: whole thing is. It's unfortunately, it's really crazy. It is too.
Speaker 3: The GOP originally put it together because they want to shrink,
Speaker 3: you know, our government. They want to keep more under
Speaker 3: the under the president's thumb. But that's not necessarily what
Speaker 3: we what we want, and that's certainly not what our
Speaker 3: forefather fathers had mapped out for us. They're saying it
Speaker 3: is there's some piece of the Constitution that says it,
Speaker 3: and you know, somebody needs to some sort of historian
Speaker 3: or our real super smart people with the constitutionalists.
Speaker 4: I am for all Americans to really just develop, to
Speaker 4: really dive into all the particulars of Project twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five and the distractions. There's all the fighting in Congress,
Speaker 4: all the fighting in the Senate, all the fighting with
Speaker 4: the foolishness that's happening at with the Supreme Court. I
Speaker 4: am very, very bothered by what I have seen happening
Speaker 4: at Supreme Court. It has always been acknowledged as the
Speaker 4: highest court in the land, something that we strive to be,
Speaker 4: something that we looked upon as the institution that was
Speaker 4: fair and honest for all people. And I don't think
Speaker 4: it has been like this since President Thirdod Marshall passed on.
Speaker 4: But what happened now is you have a leader who's
Speaker 4: sitting on the Supreme Court who probably has been there
Speaker 4: longer than everybody else at this point, now having the
Speaker 4: flag hang upside down, which it was a dog whistle
Speaker 4: for people who felt like the election was stolen for
Speaker 4: four days in his own homes backyard and then he
Speaker 4: turns around and blames it on his wife. Who does this?
Speaker 4: What country does Clarien Thomas. Clarence Thomas said, well, Clarence
Speaker 4: Thomas slept with if he lives with is married to Jenny,
Speaker 4: who also was sending out text messages and emails to
Speaker 4: say that the election was so we are in such
Speaker 4: a critical place Americans. And I understand y'all saying we
Speaker 4: had ten dollars, we had twenty five hundred dollars. You
Speaker 4: were stuck in the house in a pandemic. Of course
Speaker 4: you had more money. You couldn't go anywhere to spend anything.
Speaker 4: That's why Amazon made so much money, because you couldn't
Speaker 4: go anywhere. We were stuck at a pandemic. Y'all keep forgetting.
Speaker 4: Let's not forget how barbaric twenty twenty to twenty twenty
Speaker 4: two was for all of America, for the whole world
Speaker 4: with the pandemic, not just America. We lost a million
Speaker 4: people from a president who said that the pandemic wasn't real.
Speaker 4: Then he cut COVID and put everybody in jeopardy, and
Speaker 4: his secret service people in jeopardy, and told you guys
Speaker 4: to inject life in your damn veins. Please hear me.
Speaker 4: I'm begging you to pay attention to where we are
Speaker 4: because if you vote wrong because you think you're going
Speaker 4: to make fifty more dollars or one hundred more dollars,
Speaker 4: you're going to lose everything, everything, one more time everything.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, me get my boy.
Speaker 3: No, Alito's got real problems. Though, The New York Times
Speaker 3: actually reported, I think it was today, that there he
Speaker 3: had flown another flag at his vacation house. It was
Speaker 3: called I was unaware of this appeal to Heaven flag.
Speaker 3: It was carried by insurrectionists on January sixth. It can
Speaker 3: be confirmed that it flew over his beach house in
Speaker 3: July and in September of twenty twenty three. So it's
Speaker 3: going to be kind of hard for him to speak
Speaker 3: to people and say, okay, so the first one his
Speaker 3: wife put up because she was arguing with a neighbor. Whatever,
Speaker 3: what's the excuse for this one. These people are going
Speaker 3: to have to recuse themselves, you know, from these cases.
Speaker 3: But again, we just what do we say, ego, they're
Speaker 3: not going to do so. So, but if Trump gets
Speaker 3: in Project twenty twenty five, it's a real problem. If
Speaker 3: he doesn't, then yeah, then there are half of the
Speaker 3: stuff they might not get. They might not get passed anyway,
Speaker 3: but this is what they want. They want.
Speaker 4: If he doesn't and if he doesn't get in, y'all
Speaker 4: get past this fear about there's going to be some
Speaker 4: kind of civil There is not going to be a
Speaker 4: civil There's going to be some disgrunt too angry people.
Speaker 4: We may have a few incidents, but most of the world,
Speaker 4: that most of America does not want all of that fighting.
Speaker 4: We don't want war. We want peace. We want to
Speaker 4: live in harmony. We want to get along with each other.
Speaker 4: Because no matter what you identify as, no matter your religion,
Speaker 4: your sexuality, if you're an American, we're still all Americans.
Speaker 4: Which is why me and Bobby work so well. She's
Speaker 4: an Irish, Catholic, Caucasian single mother of one, She's an American.
Speaker 4: I'm a Black American African transgender, single father, single father
Speaker 4: of three, and I'm an American. That's what you have
Speaker 4: to remember. Push some all them adjectives and pronouns and
Speaker 4: all that conjunction junctions to the side, and let everything
Speaker 4: we remember we're Americans first. We're Americans first.
Speaker 3: If we want to continue to be If we want
Speaker 3: to tell you to be, Yeah, it's up to you.
Speaker 3: Everybody has to do their due diligence. Look at this,
Speaker 3: Look at some of the stuff that it's that. It's
Speaker 3: telling you because it is. It is scary. The privement
Speaker 3: of justice is who held Trump to the fire right?
Speaker 3: If all of a sudden he dismantles them, then there's
Speaker 3: nobody looking out over him or over anybody else. You know,
Speaker 3: we're not looking for that. We need more, not less,
Speaker 3: not more government, not more than what we have, but
Speaker 3: we need more people looking out checks and balances. If
Speaker 3: we do this and everything falls under him, all federal
Speaker 3: organizations fall under him, there are no checks and balances.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we need more strength from the American people.
Speaker 4: We need you to find your courage. We need you
Speaker 4: to find your courage, and we need you to find
Speaker 4: what's important for you. You your voice, your choice, your courage.
Speaker 4: Because a lot of us are afraid and you think
Speaker 4: that you have to go along with the masses. You
Speaker 4: have a conscious decision, and you have a conscious hopefully
Speaker 4: to let you know that we're not voting the past.
Speaker 4: We live through there. The future looks bleak, but Look
Speaker 4: what we're in right now. Look what we are in
Speaker 4: right now, and where we are, and we less than
Speaker 4: six months away from the biggest election of our lifetime.
Speaker 4: Good god, I'm thirty nine years old. I can only
Speaker 4: imagine what you would do, Bobby in your fifty eight years. Ah,
Speaker 4: you're not a girl.
Speaker 3: You're not a girl. Listen, I'm telling you. But one
Speaker 3: of the reasons something else to think about the difference
Speaker 3: is between the two presidents. One of the reasons that
Speaker 3: they're really going hard and heavy with this project twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five. The GOP is not the Trump agenda. Piece
Speaker 3: of it is because he was so ill prepared to
Speaker 3: run the country when he first got in. For instance,
Speaker 3: President Biden on his first day enacted twenty with twelve
Speaker 3: hundred people in positions to get them moving, and Trump
Speaker 3: did less than five hundred. He wasn't ready, So they
Speaker 3: don't want him not ready. They're putting sort of they're
Speaker 3: already interviewing, they already have like one on one courses
Speaker 3: on how to run the country that they're the people
Speaker 3: that they're interviewing are actually watching, so they can hit
Speaker 3: the ground running. And I would hate to see people
Speaker 3: that have been in a job for thirty forty years
Speaker 3: looking to get their pension be bumped because they don't
Speaker 3: they're not loyal to Trump, because that's what Trump is
Speaker 3: looking for. It's not what's supposed to happen. But you
Speaker 3: know that that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 4: And that is not what happens in government jobs and
Speaker 4: government jobs, you have the aco you you have, you
Speaker 4: have your your leaders, your team leaders. When you're part
Speaker 4: of what do they call that a union? You have
Speaker 4: union leaders? Oh what was that matter to him? Yeah?
Speaker 4: That matters to him what you said, Bobby.
Speaker 3: I said, what union? Because there won't be one if
Speaker 3: he gets in.
Speaker 4: Yeah? Because yes, because he would not care. So you've
Speaker 4: been in your job, you've been planning on retiring after
Speaker 4: your forty years, and he didn't like what you said,
Speaker 4: or he feels like you didn't support him. You will
Speaker 4: lose your job and your pension. Social Security if Project
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five passes. Social Security is the thing of
Speaker 4: the past. We are paying taxes for nothing because there
Speaker 4: won't be any more money. He's going to use it
Speaker 4: for whatever he uses money for, which you know that
Speaker 4: and which we know what he uses money for. Stormy
Speaker 4: Daniels of Karen McDougal. But this is what we are
Speaker 4: so think long term, think for yourself, think for your future,
Speaker 4: thing for your family, your children, your grandchildren. Is scary, y'all.
Speaker 4: And we're going to stay on this project twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five because we are really pushing it. We don't want
Speaker 4: you to do your homework and find points that we
Speaker 4: didn't find. So next week inbox us on that laugh
Speaker 4: and Learn podcast on Instagram, tell us what you want
Speaker 4: us to address. We will do it. Bobby will cover
Speaker 4: all because you know she's the research analyst. And thank
Speaker 4: you guys for joining us here again here at Left Alone.
Speaker 4: We appreciate you.
Speaker 3: We need you give you what can I give you
Speaker 3: one piece of good information before we sign off? Of course, Okay,
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of it's kind of cool. Considering
Speaker 3: where Trump is and with the case and everything, I
Speaker 3: found it actually quite positive. So you know, we had elections,
Speaker 3: and we had primary elections and then there was some
Speaker 3: special elections. But in Georgia, Fannie Willis she won her seat.
Speaker 3: Not only did she, but but the judge that's assigned
Speaker 3: they won their elections, so they're staying in place. People
Speaker 3: didn't vote her out, So not everybody's not liking or
Speaker 3: like Trump said, she's not the worst. But unfortunately in California,
Speaker 3: McCarthy's seat was was it was filled by another Republican.
Speaker 3: I only say that because right now I feel like
Speaker 3: I want people to work and well, maybe the new
Speaker 3: guy will who knows well.
Speaker 4: California is probably one of the safest blue states in
Speaker 4: the Union. California was probably the safest blue state in
Speaker 4: the Union. And I live in California, so I can
Speaker 4: say that. But let me tell you what Trump did
Speaker 4: day one when he got an office. He took down
Speaker 4: the LGBT whole website off the presidential pace. If he
Speaker 4: did that's the first time he's already put out that
Speaker 4: if he gets back in all medication, all protections for
Speaker 4: he said for the transute, it's going to But that's
Speaker 4: just that is just an overplay for the underplay. It
Speaker 4: will be all trans people, self included. Vote for yourself.
Speaker 4: If you don't know who to vote for, vote for yourself,
Speaker 4: especially if you're part of the LGBT community, which means
Speaker 4: vote for Biden, because Biden hears you, and he sees you,
Speaker 4: and he acknowledges you. Oh my god, Bobby, we have
Speaker 4: had a we had an episode today and I look
Speaker 4: so cute here at laughing along, ladies and gentlemen. The
Speaker 4: model will not change. It will never change here at
Speaker 4: laughing aline. We are not trying to get you to
Speaker 4: change your mind. We are only trying to get you
Speaker 4: to use your mind.
Speaker 3: Because why Bobby, Because a mind is a terrible thing
Speaker 3: to waste.
Speaker 4: Yes, and some of y'all please don't waste your vote
Speaker 4: to go with your mind, because we fought to get
Speaker 4: these votes. Women. It's only been one hundred years that
Speaker 4: you guys can vote black people. It has been less
Speaker 4: than that for us, and we lost a lot of
Speaker 4: people lost their lives so we could do this. Let's
Speaker 4: get this done. Let's get this behind us. There is
Speaker 4: strengthen numbers, and we need every number you got. If
Speaker 4: you think that your vote don't count, you are sadly mistaken.
Speaker 4: Your vote counts. And if we lose by one vote,
Speaker 4: it's your father. I'm gonna say that every time say him.
Speaker 4: Next week I will be doing don Lemon. And then
Speaker 4: I got another special surprise for y'all. But I can't
Speaker 4: tell y'all to the day of the show, but we
