Speaker 4: Hey, hey, hey, this is comedian flame Bro, and welcome
Speaker 4: to this week's episode of Laugh and Learn, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Speaker 4: I am here. My co host, my lovely Bobby Clifford
Speaker 4: is here. How you Bobby? Hi?
Speaker 2: How are you? Honey?
Speaker 4: I want to be up for the and joyful for
Speaker 4: our fans, But today is the day of reckoning, ladies
Speaker 4: and gentlemen. We put up, We put up before we
Speaker 4: even get into this, and this is the base of
Speaker 4: our show. I just want to say, I hope everybody
Speaker 4: still has their wits about them and has your mind right,
Speaker 4: because if you did your part, if you voted the
Speaker 4: way you wanted to vote, and you did that, that's
Speaker 4: all you can do. We have no more control over
Speaker 4: what has happened. We as a Democrat, we lost the
Speaker 4: race to Donald Trump and so and here in Lafteline
Speaker 4: we are very fair. So we want to start off
Speaker 4: by saying congratulations to President elect Donald Trump. And as
Speaker 4: much as I didn't want him to be the president,
Speaker 4: he is still the president of the United States. So
Speaker 4: we want to say that. And we'll get into all
Speaker 4: of that later. And I know a lot of people
Speaker 4: are going through a lot of emotions, the gloom and doom,
Speaker 4: the depression, that what have you. But you can't take
Speaker 4: all that on because if you did your part, like
Speaker 4: I said, that's all you could do. That's all that
Speaker 4: you can do. There's nothing else you could do. We
Speaker 4: don't have power like that, but we have seeing how
Speaker 4: power works. Good God. So thank you guys for joining
Speaker 4: us here this week for that to learn. I'm just
Speaker 4: getting to New York City. I'm in New York in
Speaker 4: my hotel Rower. I came from Nashville, Tennessee, from the
Speaker 4: City Winery with Tiffany had It And let me just
Speaker 4: say that Nashville, I adore you. You guys were fantastic.
Speaker 4: We had a great time, two great shows. You guys
Speaker 4: came out and really showed up and showed out. I
Speaker 4: actually worked last night on election night, Bobby, and we
Speaker 4: were sold out and people were just really trying to
Speaker 4: get away from looking at what was happening, even though
Speaker 4: they were stealing their phones trying to see what was happening.
Speaker 4: But now we know what it is. So we're here
Speaker 4: in New York City. I'll be at the City Winery
Speaker 4: with Tiffany hat Its this Friday. The first show is
Speaker 4: sold out. We have two shows. The second show has
Speaker 4: last count maybe thirteen seats. So you better move fast
Speaker 4: because it's gonna be a big one. Anyway, Let's get
Speaker 4: on with the get on with the get on. How
Speaker 4: are you took.
Speaker 2: I'm in the past twenty four hours or pubably forty
Speaker 2: eight not good. Yesterday I had such a sense of
Speaker 2: I don't know, a heaviness about me. I couldn't even know.
Speaker 4: You said, yeah, this is all about the elections. The
Speaker 4: right choice of words.
Speaker 2: No, but that's it's.
Speaker 5: It's I can't describe it any other way. It was
Speaker 5: I and my stomach was upset right from the morning.
Speaker 5: I felt uneasy, and I don't know why, because everybody
Speaker 5: was thinking it was going to go a different way.
Speaker 2: At that point, I just said, even though this is
Speaker 2: what we do, I couldn't. I couldn't watch it. I
Speaker 2: couldn't watch it. I think you He spoke at twelve
Speaker 2: thirty in the morning, and that was I was just
Speaker 2: putting it on two seconds before the phone rang, and
Speaker 2: I watched it for the three minutes we were on
Speaker 2: the phone, and I'm like, you know what, I got
Speaker 2: to put this. I couldn't do it. So and by
Speaker 2: then though, we saw that the tides were turning. And
Speaker 2: then this morning I woke up and I didn't want
Speaker 2: to get out of bed and I was upset. And
Speaker 2: then I said, you know what, enough, exactly what you
Speaker 2: just said. You did your part. You've been talking about
Speaker 2: it for two seasons, We've been talking.
Speaker 4: We've been talking about it. Yeah, And that was not
Speaker 4: a heavy dis vibe. That's a blanket of weight and sadness.
Speaker 4: I'm actually glad that the election is over. You know, yeah, listen,
Speaker 4: it's done. It is done. We have to deal with
Speaker 4: the consequences of the actions of the people who did
Speaker 4: vote or who did not vote in him, because unfortunately
Speaker 4: what we wanted and what you guys wanted were not
Speaker 4: the same. But the ones who didn't want it, we
Speaker 4: will be the collateral damage for the ones that did
Speaker 4: want it.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see and we'll get into all of that
Speaker 2: as we start talking about it, like what he can
Speaker 2: actually do get away with. We see what happens with
Speaker 2: the house, right, and we'll get into all of that.
Speaker 2: But remember everythings through the house first. So if by
Speaker 2: some miracle everybody say they're no venas I have my
Speaker 2: saying Jude prayer sitting here right here. I was praying
Speaker 2: to the son of a gun all night, we get
Speaker 2: the house, then there is a check and balance that
Speaker 2: does give us a guardrail. But so I got up
Speaker 2: this morning and I said, Bobby, you get one day
Speaker 2: to grieve, one day to feel crappy, one day to mope,
Speaker 2: and then you brush yourself off and you push forward. Right,
Speaker 2: And as Americans, we love a fight, So we have
Speaker 2: to continue to fight. We have to continue to protect
Speaker 2: each other. We have to try. Also, if the people
Speaker 2: in Washington, I'm going to take the vitriol and the
Speaker 2: hate down, we can do it. We can be a
Speaker 2: little bit better. And I had friends that were immediately
Speaker 2: I haven't seen them in years, but they were immediately
Speaker 2: posting all this nonsensical crap. All the Democrats are big
Speaker 2: cry babies. She didn't even give us speech. They're going
Speaker 2: to close down the highways to make us miserable. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, hold on, And I was going to
Speaker 2: post it, and then I didn't. First of all, she
Speaker 2: didn't give a speech, because you have to the order
Speaker 2: of things, the decorum of it is the loser in
Speaker 2: this case, Harris has to call the winner in this
Speaker 2: case Trump, and conceived to him directly first. That's after
Speaker 2: all of the votes we're in. We saw where it
Speaker 2: was going, but it wasn't for sure. And then once
Speaker 2: she does that or he does that, then they give
Speaker 2: their concession speech. Well Trump wouldn't take her call until
Speaker 2: one o'clock this afternoon. I'm sure that was all power
Speaker 2: and whatever. I don't care. It doesn't make it. That
Speaker 2: part doesn't make a difference. But I saw that, and
Speaker 2: I thought the Republicans weren't crying the last time. I'm
Speaker 2: like crying there was an insurrection and happy you still
Speaker 2: don't believe that you even lost. But then I went,
Speaker 2: you know it's not worth it, are you?
Speaker 4: Okay, it's not airing.
Speaker 2: No, my side.
Speaker 4: Gonna happen. Oh okay, I'm sorry. It's my things, Harry
Speaker 4: Coy Okay, and we're going. But I'm only saying three
Speaker 4: seconds thirteen seconds now?
Speaker 2: So is that on my it my vineyards? Okay? So
Speaker 2: six twenty all this conversation, okay, I'm sorry, all right,
Speaker 2: So it's six twenty. I don't know if you want
Speaker 2: to write it down. That's when we talked about this,
Speaker 2: and we're going to stop up. We're going to stop
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: So I just decided not to post because I didn't
Speaker 2: need to add to the negativity. I'm just gonna let
Speaker 2: people say what you say. And I don't necessarily feel
Speaker 2: that way. Part of our problem is that we can't
Speaker 2: talk to one another. We should be able to talk
Speaker 2: like grown ups. You listen to me, I listened to you.
Speaker 2: We might not agree, and then you go on your
Speaker 2: merry way. That's what I decided.
Speaker 4: That's the opperative word, right there, grown up, Let's start
Speaker 4: off with we lost the passing of a legend. Oh
Speaker 4: my god, I know one ninety one years old mister
Speaker 4: Quincy Jones, who has done a huge barrage of everything,
Speaker 4: has worked with everyone from Michael Jackson to Oprah Winfrey
Speaker 4: to you name it. He's been with David Boye, everybody,
Speaker 4: So everybody, Michael Stevie Wonder. You know, he was the
Speaker 4: driving force behind him the biggest selling album of all time,
Speaker 4: which was Thriller Michael Jackson. So and like you said,
Speaker 4: Bobby just a legend icon ninety one years old, ninety
Speaker 4: one years young. That's a blessing. That is a true blessing.
Speaker 4: And I'm just waiting for the book to come out
Speaker 4: because you know a few years ago he was gonna
Speaker 4: write a tell all and the daughter stopped it, said
Speaker 4: he was he was he was having a little taste
Speaker 4: of dementia. When no, he's gone tell it all.
Speaker 2: I am sure. I'm sure he had a ghost writer,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure somebody somebody will do it. What I
Speaker 2: loved is years and he got to pass at home
Speaker 2: surrounded by his family. I thought that was God. That
Speaker 2: is a beautiful thing. That's what I hope for all
Speaker 2: of us. That was a life while lived. He did
Speaker 2: quite a bit in his life. He's not going to
Speaker 2: have any regrets. But so yay, you know, good passing, whatever,
Speaker 2: whatever the expression is you want to use.
Speaker 4: Just a legend and this year twenty twenty four has
Speaker 4: been an eye opening you. We loft so many legends
Speaker 4: and this year is doing y'all. This year is not done.
Speaker 4: So stay live each day like it's your last, because
Speaker 4: you don't know when it is your last. Where we
Speaker 4: going byby Cliff, because I know we're going to spend
Speaker 4: a lot of time on today's election.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well let's but there's a few other things
Speaker 2: have been happening, so let's buzz through on a positive note.
Speaker 2: The Boeing strike is finally over. This is the most
Speaker 2: expensive strike in history. I think it came in at
Speaker 2: between eleven and twelve billion. It had cost everybody. They
Speaker 2: did get they had a deal, they were refused the deal,
Speaker 2: and then a week later they came with this one.
Speaker 2: Some people none of us ever saw the first deal,
Speaker 2: but they said this one wasn't so different. They got
Speaker 2: a pay increase of forty three percent. But over graduated
Speaker 2: over time. They're getting immediate rays of thirteen percent. Then
Speaker 2: they kind of ty trade it up. They're also going
Speaker 2: to get a ratification bonus of twelve thousand each which
Speaker 2: they can contribute to a four or one K if
Speaker 2: they want to. The one thing that they were looking
Speaker 2: for that they did not get. And unfortunately, I even
Speaker 2: know that the company that I work for through the day,
Speaker 2: is that they didn't get the pension. They had their
Speaker 2: last agreement let the pension go in twenty fourteen and
Speaker 2: ten years later. You know, naturally no company wants to
Speaker 2: pick up a pension. It cost a fortune, so they
Speaker 2: didn't get that. I think that was the twelve k
Speaker 2: was the peanut that was offered to them. So anyway,
Speaker 2: they're backup in business. Something outside thought was interesting because
Speaker 2: I didn't hear of it, And I know if I
Speaker 2: didn't know, if you did, only you know, looking up
Speaker 2: what's happened in the news this week? Did I see
Speaker 2: that there was a PowerPoint in Tennessee. There was some
Speaker 2: man that was gonna blow it up. I don't know
Speaker 2: why he was going to blow it up. He was
Speaker 2: just moments from it. It would have left people. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it was something over the election not
Speaker 2: it was in the Nashville area. They caught him. He
Speaker 2: was twenty four Skylar Philippi or Phillips or something, and
Speaker 2: he's he's got a white supremacy ideology. The FBI already
Speaker 2: has they saw the plot. They have them. He's behind
Speaker 2: buyers right now.
Speaker 4: And that's it.
Speaker 2: But I didn't hear anything about that, not in this
Speaker 2: area anyway.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, girl, I want to do politics. I don't
Speaker 4: want to do well. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was public, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. We don't know what that was about it.
Speaker 4: If he's a white supremacist, he probably already that their
Speaker 4: agenda is very different from everybody else's. So listen, I'm
Speaker 4: glad they caught him before he could do any structure
Speaker 4: and take anybody out.
Speaker 2: Me too, Me too. So economy, the DROPS report was down.
Speaker 2: It was only twelve thousand jobs. Nothing that they were
Speaker 2: surprised about, because remember we had all those hurricanes, so
Speaker 2: they weren't. They weren't surprised about that. The number is
Speaker 2: because of the election. The stock market went through the
Speaker 2: roof today, So I don't know if we're taking that
Speaker 2: as a win because the people who have anything in
Speaker 2: their stocks, are anything put away for retirement will benefit.
Speaker 2: And then the Fed looks like they're going to wrap
Speaker 2: up the year by another zero point two five cut
Speaker 2: to the interest rate.
Speaker 4: So speaking of stocks, speaking of stock, if you got
Speaker 4: any money right now, might be a really good time
Speaker 4: to invest in privatized prisons because I honestly believe that
Speaker 4: the stock is going to go up in prisons because
Speaker 4: Trump won and so many people invest. We talked about
Speaker 4: this on Lafelane before. In privatized prisons. It is yeah,
Speaker 4: that which means that they're going to have to put
Speaker 4: more people in prisons. So please be careful, lad because
Speaker 4: Projects twenty twenty five is on the docket and it
Speaker 4: is on the move, and it is very scary. Let's
Speaker 4: get to it, Bobby, Let's get to it. Let's get
Speaker 4: to it. Let's get to it. First of all, I
Speaker 4: want to say this before you go any further. I
Speaker 4: hope that Kamala Harris, Vice President, Kamala Harris will take
Speaker 4: a week at least five to seven days of anwer relaxation.
Speaker 4: The lady has been diligent, she has worked hard, the
Speaker 4: last two interviews I see in down two interviews, last
Speaker 4: two places I see her speech. She just looked exhausted.
Speaker 4: She looked like, I just don't want to think about it.
Speaker 4: I don't want it. I want to go to sleep.
Speaker 4: I don't want to comb my hair, I don't want
Speaker 4: to brush my teeth. I want to lay up under
Speaker 4: my husband and feel safe. And I pray that she
Speaker 4: can get her five to seven days of sun and
Speaker 4: relaxation and just don't think about nothing that has happened,
Speaker 4: because it's over now it is.
Speaker 2: I don't know if she'll do it. And the only
Speaker 2: reason I want that for her too. And you know,
Speaker 2: let's face in January, she's nothing but time. They have
Speaker 2: two and a half months, her and Biden. I have
Speaker 2: a feeling as we're speaking there's a powerall happening. They're
Speaker 2: going to try to figure out now that now that
Speaker 2: whatever he does convert her. I bet you anything, they're
Speaker 2: sitting down figuring out they can actually get done, who
Speaker 2: they're going to release, who they're going to part, and
Speaker 2: what they can what they can potentially kind of push through.
Speaker 2: And then you know, in two and a half months,
Speaker 2: she's got as much time I hope she goes away
Speaker 2: for a month and does nothing. I thought she looked
Speaker 2: exhausted too. I think she looked as pale as anything.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine having her having her schedule. I
Speaker 2: don't think they sleep for four hours. The last thing
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about before we got to that,
Speaker 2: just as as kind of a positive is did you
Speaker 2: see that former Kentucky policeman Bret Hankerson was convicted avery
Speaker 2: perfect Taylor.
Speaker 4: Yes, yep, finally some hopefully some justice. At least they
Speaker 4: have convicted him. Now, mind you, if this does not
Speaker 4: happen before Trump gets in office, he can get apart
Speaker 4: from President Trump, because President Trump in Project twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five is given promising the police for the community.
Speaker 2: But he even forget about Project twenty twenty five. That's
Speaker 2: that's important, But put that aside. He said that himself
Speaker 2: sayings Project twenty twenty five, he wanted to give them
Speaker 2: full autonomy. I think is the expression that he used. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he said that back in December. So now that it's
Speaker 2: written in, now that we've seen Project twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: and we see that it's there's outlines of how that
Speaker 2: stuff will be handled it's it's coming. It's yeah, it's coming.
Speaker 2: So we will well, we'll get to it. The only
Speaker 2: other thing I want to say is poor poor Zelenski.
Speaker 2: As soon as as soon as he won, believe it
Speaker 2: or not, that was the first thing I thought of.
Speaker 2: I'm like, he is screwed.
Speaker 4: I feel bad for Zelenski and the country of Ukraine.
Speaker 4: But I feel more bad for me America and for
Speaker 4: black and brown and for black and brown people.
Speaker 2: Me too, me too, me too. All right, let's get
Speaker 2: to it. There's no there's no. So the election for
Speaker 2: the House is ongoing. The Senate and that's ongoing too.
Speaker 2: They're still counting votes for the Senate, but it's they.
Speaker 2: They are over. They're over the number to control it.
Speaker 2: Now we'll just see by how much they actually they
Speaker 2: actually will control it. So the positives are our friend
Speaker 2: Jason Lee, one councilman of Stockton.
Speaker 4: Districts, Jason Lee, and y'all know being Jason Lee has
Speaker 4: had our running. As congratulations to Jason Lee.
Speaker 2: He's trying to do the right thing. Doing service is important,
Speaker 2: something that I pray to God. We get the House.
Speaker 2: I'm a little scared. But Sarah McBride of Delaware. She's
Speaker 2: going to be the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.
Speaker 2: I hope that she's received well there with this administration.
Speaker 4: Well, hopefully she won't get to the floor and act
Speaker 4: the donkey like that last one. Did remember that other
Speaker 4: transgender she was in Congress, she was in a state something, Yeah,
Speaker 4: and got to the floor and act the dunky and
Speaker 4: they removed that. She was never allowed to come back in.
Speaker 4: So we've had from the LGBT community. We had a
Speaker 4: couple of representatives and in and in service in government
Speaker 4: that has acted food. What was the other one named
Speaker 4: the guy who cheated?
Speaker 2: Oh he's not.
Speaker 4: He's not, but he was still part of the LGBT.
Speaker 2: Community from from New York, from Santos, Okay, Yes he was.
Speaker 2: But I I always wanted to find out what what
Speaker 2: his lift glass color was because I loved that lift gloss.
Speaker 2: They were full and puffy and I got being serious
Speaker 2: and I kind of liked it. He had just a
Speaker 2: little not enough color. It's I'm kind of a low
Speaker 2: maintenance girl, so I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 4: The other saying, hold on, one of the did he
Speaker 4: used that live gloss in his day life and in
Speaker 4: his night life, because you know his day life, he
Speaker 4: was a lion senator. In his life life, he was
Speaker 4: the drag queen. I'm just wondering.
Speaker 2: I bet he had a little bit more punched to
Speaker 2: his color.
Speaker 4: I wondered that the live gross, the live gloss cross over.
Speaker 2: From from day tonight sorries. Since Kamala Harris I think
Speaker 2: was the last black senator, we have two at the
Speaker 2: same time, one from Delaware, one from Maryland that are
Speaker 2: going to be serving two black women senators. So that's something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so we're taking our we gotta we gotta do the
Speaker 2: good with the bad.
Speaker 4: Fannie Williams also won her sleep.
Speaker 2: She did and uh oh yeah, she absolutely did, and
Speaker 2: I thought, you go girl. Yeah, And of course we
Speaker 2: trump one the We know that the federal cases will
Speaker 2: go away, but the staycases, so we won't hear from
Speaker 2: Jacksmith anymore. That will be that'll be gone, which means
Speaker 2: that Aileen Cannon that threw the case out for the
Speaker 2: documents down in Florida, that would have gone anyway. So
Speaker 2: we didn't end up losing anything, but she did potentially
Speaker 2: gain Attorney General a spot, a spot on the list
Speaker 2: the short list of Attorney general. So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: There looks her way in and Elon must about his
Speaker 4: way in allegedly, So yeah, let's go.
Speaker 2: So we'll see. I mean, in the end, I have
Speaker 2: to say to you, I was surprised, not shocked, but
Speaker 2: surprised just from everything that we're hearing in more, I
Speaker 2: can't believe as Americans that we have an impeached two
Speaker 2: times impeached Felon that that is going to be representing
Speaker 2: us with all the hatred with the Madison Square guide
Speaker 2: in the you know, Puerto Rico, be in the.
Speaker 4: Garbage with the insurrection against the Capitol, which was completely
Speaker 4: a bent with him saying point nine rifles should be
Speaker 4: pointed at Liz changed. He just just and every job
Speaker 4: application that you fell out, are you? Are you a feeling?
Speaker 4: Are you a criminal?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do it anymore because he got the job.
Speaker 2: He took that black job, and he didn't check the box.
Speaker 4: He took that job. He took that job from being
Speaker 4: to the leader of the free world.
Speaker 2: Yeah I didn't so she, But I was what I'm
Speaker 2: really surprised with flame though I think ninety percent of
Speaker 2: the vote is in right now, has been counted that
Speaker 2: he is two ninety four and she's only two twenty three.
Speaker 2: That surprised me. I thought the numbers would be closer.
Speaker 2: I really did think she had a chance to win.
Speaker 2: I thought it would be messed up. It would be
Speaker 2: we'd be doing it for months trying to count those those.
Speaker 4: If we're gonna be here honest on that and learn today.
Speaker 4: I really thought we had a chance of winning until recently,
Speaker 4: and I've talked about this on coffee time maybe about
Speaker 4: two and a half maybe three weeks ago, I was
Speaker 4: watching a football game, Yes, I watched football, and they
Speaker 4: were running Donald Trump's the Republican ads about they're going
Speaker 4: to send your kid to school as a boy, he's
Speaker 4: going to come home as a girl. And there's nothing
Speaker 4: you can do about it, because you know, they have
Speaker 4: made the laws to where the teachers can't even call
Speaker 4: the parents. It's a crime for you to tell for
Speaker 4: a teacher to call you, Bobby, tell you what your
Speaker 4: kids doing, or how they decided they want to identify ads.
Speaker 4: When I saw that, Bobby and I saw it three times,
Speaker 4: doing one football game three times. I'm a parent, I'm
Speaker 4: also a part of the LGBT community. It shocked me,
Speaker 4: Like what, so I knew what they were doing. They
Speaker 4: were weaponizing the transagenda and pushing fear like you wouldn't believe.
Speaker 4: This is how he won our fear bullying, ignorance, and sexism,
Speaker 4: and they pushed that trans narratives. They had five things
Speaker 4: we talked about. The economy, of course that's in there,
Speaker 4: and of course the immigrants, but that fear, bullying and
Speaker 4: ignorance because you don't know. Ignorance is not that you
Speaker 4: don't want to know, it's that you don't know, and
Speaker 4: sometimes you don't want to know. And the bullying, I'm
Speaker 4: going to get you back. He's never stood on one
Speaker 4: promise or policy that he has promised, but guaranteed he
Speaker 4: is going to stand on I'm going to get you
Speaker 4: back if you came out to me. That's the only
Speaker 4: thing I believe he's going to stand down.
Speaker 2: Well, I get nervous. I'm nervous with Chris Christy, Chris Cheney,
Speaker 2: Kelly Millie. I am nervous. We'll see. I don't know
Speaker 2: what he can actually do. They might get audited for
Speaker 2: the rest of their lives. Like, I don't know what
Speaker 2: he actually do because as you just said, he didn't
Speaker 2: keep the promise before. I don't know if he will,
Speaker 2: but he did have people that were held a guardrails.
Speaker 2: They left him after short periods of time, and as
Speaker 2: he said, they weren't loyal to him, but they kind
Speaker 2: of kept him in check. So we're really going to
Speaker 2: have to look to see what this what this cabinet
Speaker 2: is going to look like. He's batting around things. I
Speaker 2: was reading in one article I don't know if it
Speaker 2: was CNN, that was saying that he might hire everybody
Speaker 2: quote unquote as tempts basically because then they don't have
Speaker 2: to go through the Senate or any you know, nobody
Speaker 2: else has to look at it. He can himself make
Speaker 2: the decision. And I'm thinking most people are tempts with
Speaker 2: them anyway, because they didn't last all that long. You know,
Speaker 2: the person that lasted the longest that just came out
Speaker 2: I came out against him and said they were voting
Speaker 2: for Harris. So but I was very proud that both
Speaker 2: President Biden and Vice President Harris reached out to him
Speaker 2: to congratulate him. She asked him to be the president
Speaker 2: for everybody, and Biden offered to have him come in
Speaker 2: and catch him up to meet with two of them
Speaker 2: and catch him up. He didn't do He did do
Speaker 2: it with Obama, but I don't think he did any
Speaker 2: like he didn't take notes.
Speaker 4: He didn't.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he would do that. You know,
Speaker 2: this time it leaves. We have to remember that it
Speaker 2: leaves the Senate seat for vance open, and what happens
Speaker 2: usually it's different stafe by stake. But the governor, Mike
Speaker 2: Mike Dwine is a Republican and he will he'll fill
Speaker 2: that seat. There's two years left on the seat. He'll
Speaker 2: fill it, and then he'll probably be up in the
Speaker 2: midterm elections. That seat will be up. It'd be nice
Speaker 2: if we could start working on it now. Everybody in Ohio.
Speaker 4: You're saying that Trump, President Biden and Kamala Harrison is
Speaker 4: going to bring him in for a debriefing of what's happening.
Speaker 4: But I think people forgot that. They said publicly that
Speaker 4: he never liked to listen to the daily briefings. He
Speaker 4: wouldn't read him. He didn't want to hear they had.
Speaker 4: They had to bait him with good news because he
Speaker 4: didn't want to hear the bad news. I'm telling you,
Speaker 4: everyone seem to have forgotten so many things that was happening,
Speaker 4: and how it's too late. It's just too late by.
Speaker 2: I remember President Obama saying that he had him in
Speaker 2: and he came in and he said, actually, when he
Speaker 2: was explaining about the Affordable Care acter, he goes, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's not bad. That actually is a great idea that
Speaker 2: you know, b blah blah blah blah. But you know,
Speaker 2: he didn't do anything. He didn't Yeah, you.
Speaker 4: Know, So let's go to the negatives of what's going
Speaker 4: to what's possibly going to happen, because nobody can predict
Speaker 4: the future. But with the promises of Project twenty twenty five,
Speaker 4: social Security may be cut, Medicare, food stamps, public housing,
Speaker 4: public school, the FBI may get the Department of Justice
Speaker 4: may be the funded. The police will have full immunity.
Speaker 4: It is the LGBT. They may dissolve gay marriages, the trains,
Speaker 4: the transgender funding for medica, medication and surgeries and hormone
Speaker 4: therapy replacements, and the non for profit organizations. So many
Speaker 4: things are into odland. The abortion. The abortion. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: I have daughters that God forbid because they're definitely not
Speaker 4: ready to be mothers. And I know Both of my
Speaker 4: daughters are of that age, you know, of being sexually active.
Speaker 4: Of course I don't ask them, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't give out their business. Say, I'll know everybody
Speaker 4: knew it or didn't know it. But if God forbid,
Speaker 4: if something happened and they got pregnant, they're definitely not
Speaker 4: ready to have a baby. I think the only thing
Speaker 4: that would save us because we live in California and
Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom is not having any of it. California might
Speaker 4: be one of the safest havens to live in this union.
Speaker 4: Boston is safe too.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we're Democrat, you know, we're seventy percent Democrats still,
Speaker 2: so we would. But let's let's wind that back just
Speaker 2: for two day. Okay, let's not call it an abortion.
Speaker 2: Let's say in five years your girls are married or
Speaker 2: they just they're ready to have a family, they get pregnant,
Speaker 2: they're four or five months along, and the feetus dies
Speaker 2: or something terrible happens. There was a twenty one year
Speaker 2: old that died in twenty twenty one in Georgia, and
Speaker 2: because they wouldn't give her the DNC because there was
Speaker 2: still a heartbeat, they had to wait until the heartbeat
Speaker 2: was over by then she was so septic she died.
Speaker 2: So it didn't have to be that you're making a
Speaker 2: choice that you don't want the child. We're talking about
Speaker 2: regular husbands and wives, and it's all encompassed. I think
Speaker 2: what has happened. I think we won the midterm elections.
Speaker 2: One of the reason we did so we were supposed
Speaker 2: to take a blood bath, if you remember, but we didn't.
Speaker 2: We held our own and even gained a couple of seats,
Speaker 2: is that people were so outraged because Dobs had just
Speaker 2: come out. But now you know how people have short memories,
Speaker 2: and people like you and I that are that are
Speaker 2: in states, they're going to protect. Some of the states
Speaker 2: have got some protection. There are some that have gotten worse,
Speaker 2: but it's a number of states. It's not all the states.
Speaker 2: And I think people have forgotten. So that's what. So
Speaker 2: the things you talked about things that we can control.
Speaker 2: So we're just we just talked about JD. Vancy seat
Speaker 2: and Ohio Democrats rally and Ohio try to really push
Speaker 2: the for two years for the midterm election, push your
Speaker 2: Democratic candidate, let's win that seat over and you know,
Speaker 2: keep keep pushing on on things like reproductive rights. There's
Speaker 2: stuff by vote, voting locally, by paying attention that we
Speaker 2: can do. It's it feels hopeless today, but we're Americans.
Speaker 2: We're tough, we're tough nuts. We're gonna we're gonna get
Speaker 2: through this. But we I don't want to hear people
Speaker 2: moaning and grown in when when their child is on
Speaker 2: an education plan and we have no Department of Education
Speaker 2: any longer. And oh my god, what about little Bobby. Well,
Speaker 2: little Bobby if you voted for the one who loved education.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Alon Musk made a statement maybe a week
Speaker 4: ago to say, we're about to follow on some hard times,
Speaker 4: but they won't be they'll be temporaries. And I'm like,
Speaker 4: DL Hughley made a great statement. Now, what would this
Speaker 4: billionaire know, the richest man in the world know about
Speaker 4: hard time? Fall? No hard times, hard time. Hard times
Speaker 4: for us could be were in a soup kitchen, were
Speaker 4: in a soup plan, It could be a lot. So
Speaker 4: I'm telling you guys right now, hold on to what
Speaker 4: you have, stock up if you can, because we don't
Speaker 4: know what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've already told my family and everybody's on board.
Speaker 4: With it.
Speaker 2: I have paycheck to paycheck because I have very large
Speaker 2: student loans, and I'm like, you know what, I think
Speaker 2: we're doing a non Christmas Christmas this year. You know,
Speaker 2: we'll celebrate the day, we'll all be together, but we
Speaker 2: don't need stuff. I'd rather try to pay down my
Speaker 2: debt or put put it in a cookie jar somewhere.
Speaker 2: Elon Musk, the Pennsylvania judge, said that his one million
Speaker 2: dollar sweepstake thing was Okay, they haven't really given at
Speaker 2: least I can't find the rationale. I'm sure it's somewhere
Speaker 2: that I'm just not smart enough to figure out because
Speaker 2: it's not run, it's not really a sweepstake. The person
Speaker 2: is known prior or something.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think that maybe the the the district attorney that
Speaker 2: was in Pennsylvania maybe should have written it up a
Speaker 2: little bit differently. But that's that's sort of out out
Speaker 2: of the picture. I heard Trump say last week in
Speaker 2: something he was he was doing an interview and they
Speaker 2: were asking about Elon Musk being in the cabinet, and
Speaker 2: he said, oh, no, he's gonna he's he's much much
Speaker 2: too busy to be in the Cabinet the Sean Show.
Speaker 2: It was where I heard it. He said, I would
Speaker 2: absolutely give it to him, but he's gonna be too busy.
Speaker 2: But I might. I like his idea, so I might
Speaker 2: bring him in as a consultant. And I got to
Speaker 2: tell you, I'm hanging on to that today because more
Speaker 2: than the president only has so much power, it's the
Speaker 2: house in the Senate. That's why I'm hanging onto the
Speaker 2: house with my my fingernails. But Elon Musk scared me
Speaker 2: because he was gonna gut everything. He wanted to get
Speaker 2: rid of everything that anything that's federal, any duplication, any
Speaker 2: moneies that are given out and then start start over again.
Speaker 2: So what are people do in the meantime that live
Speaker 2: on all that? So I was sort of happy to
Speaker 2: hear that the MAHA movement make America healthy again. Robert
Speaker 2: Kennedy Junior is doing it. I believe he's an environmental attorney.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell he knows, other then
Speaker 2: he doesn't like zaccines. He wants to take floride. We're
Speaker 2: gonna have a bunch of buck tooths or no two
Speaker 2: kids walking around because they're not gonna have any floor
Speaker 2: right in the water.
Speaker 4: For Christ's sake, you putting the man who has brainwork,
Speaker 4: who has made it brainworm in charge of mental health girl,
Speaker 4: I mean in charge of a girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy, absolutely crazy. Some of some of the other
Speaker 2: names are Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. We talked
Speaker 2: about Alien Cannon being the in line for the Attorney General,
Speaker 2: Mike Mike Pompeo. He already had Mike Pompeo serve as
Speaker 2: the CIA director. But he's talking about maybe again Secretary. Oh,
Speaker 2: he was a Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, excuse me,
Speaker 2: or something to do with national security. Ramaswami is looking
Speaker 2: for Department of Homeland Security. You know he's gonna he's
Speaker 2: gonna wipe that nose off first because he went in
Speaker 2: deep to to try to after calling him every name
Speaker 2: or not named, trying to run against him.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: But yes, so we're gona have to watch the cabinet people.
Speaker 2: That's what we're really going to have to pay attention to.
Speaker 4: Do you think let me ask you, Bobby, do you
Speaker 4: think he's going to find a seat for Nicky Haley?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Would he be smart to because I will tell you
Speaker 2: Nicki Haley is a patriot. She wouldn't go against the Constitution.
Speaker 2: I don't like her, and I think she's a big
Speaker 2: flip flopper, which I thought Pence was like. But Pence
Speaker 2: in the end did the right thing. And I think
Speaker 2: I truly think that she would. But you know, I
Speaker 2: think he's threatened by her.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, to be smart. Well, I understand that the
Speaker 4: people are the people who were part of the January
Speaker 4: sixth insurrection. He has already promised to party. I'm sure
Speaker 4: he's going to parton ruly Giuliani as well as so
Speaker 4: many others. I'm telling you, Bobby, to watch this unfold.
Speaker 4: I don't think I could write this in a book.
Speaker 4: I don't think the best Spise novels could have wrote
Speaker 4: written all of this in a book. Just like.
Speaker 2: This is the biggest, the biggest comeback going. Somebody that
Speaker 2: who was up the rear end was Nettnihahu, who actually
Speaker 2: fired his defense minister this week. I don't know what
Speaker 2: that's going to mean for us, if it's going to
Speaker 2: actually meet anything, but he would he congratulated on a
Speaker 2: Trump because they're there. There are two birds of a feather,
Speaker 2: And Zielinsky said that, you know, he could appreciate him
Speaker 2: coming ruling from a place of power. But he's probably
Speaker 2: I feel so as I said, I feel terrible for
Speaker 2: him because we're not going to get we're not going
Speaker 2: to get very far from him with him.
Speaker 4: I think, by my own personal opinion, how all this
Speaker 4: is unfolded, I think our country will be in turmoil
Speaker 4: for a year for I mean for I mean in
Speaker 4: despair for a year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I heard as they were talking last
Speaker 2: night some of the talking heads I put Churnal five
Speaker 2: for me as ABC. So Chris Christy was on, Johnna Brazil,
Speaker 2: I adored Donna Brazil, Jonathan Carl there were a few others,
Speaker 2: and they were going back and forth and Chris said,
Speaker 2: you know, he's only if he wins, He's only going
Speaker 2: to be effective at best for two years. He said,
Speaker 2: you have to remember he's going in as a four
Speaker 2: is the four year president period. He doesn't get to
Speaker 2: run for another for another seat, you know, for another
Speaker 2: four years, so you get two years before you sort
Speaker 2: of become a lame duck. At that point, the GOP
Speaker 2: will change their direction, whether it'll be Vance we'll see
Speaker 2: how Vance does over the next two years, or or
Speaker 2: somebody else that they have in line and the attention
Speaker 2: will be taken off of him. Also, what happens in
Speaker 2: two years is we have the we already talked about it,
Speaker 2: We have the midterm elections, and we potentially could pick
Speaker 2: up seats and that could really make them ineffective. If
Speaker 2: we'll see what the number is in the end that
Speaker 2: the Senate wins by. If we picked up those seats
Speaker 2: and we dead locked them again.
Speaker 4: Then request needs some balls. They need some balls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the best way I can think of it. And
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think the words that I find that
Speaker 2: this new mega Republican party they're brutal, you know, like
Speaker 2: and I don't mean that in a nice way, but
Speaker 2: I find the Democrats sineless. Yeah, we don't have our
Speaker 2: messaging right.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna even say two years for him, Bobby,
Speaker 4: because we've watched his speeches, We've watched him babel and
Speaker 4: go left. Yeah forget. So I don't even know if
Speaker 4: he will make it a whole year, honestly, because.
Speaker 2: Jesus sliding off that cracker and he.
Speaker 4: May go completely rambo and the people around him will
Speaker 4: have to go taill him, whether they want to or not,
Speaker 4: because they'll see that it's going to cost too much
Speaker 4: detriment to the country.
Speaker 2: No, I agree with that, and I so we're gonna
Speaker 2: have to pay attention to a how Vance does so
Speaker 2: Vance we know Vance is a is a flip flopper,
Speaker 2: and he's a I'm kiss her because.
Speaker 4: Of hel I think he's a bottom could be.
Speaker 2: But we saw in twenty sixteen that he had called him,
Speaker 2: he called him America's hitler. He's also said I've been
Speaker 2: disparaging things. So the fact that I blame the two
Speaker 2: of them, Trump would have anybody, would you have anybody
Speaker 2: that that that spoke that way. He's so big about loyalty.
Speaker 2: I'm shocked that he had him in. And we'll see,
Speaker 2: you know, what he would do, how he'll do, and
Speaker 2: how well he'll do under Trump over the next two years.
Speaker 2: And we have to pay attention to the Secretary of
Speaker 2: State because if that did happen where they had to
Speaker 2: remove the president, the VP will come up and the
Speaker 2: Secretary of State will come up. So I hope one
Speaker 2: of those people is fairly we dances.
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised that he'd picked Advance because he's Trump
Speaker 4: is so to me from the outside looking in the
Speaker 4: way that Trump likes his power. He likes to know
Speaker 4: that at one time you didn't like me, but now
Speaker 4: I got you kissed in my ring. I think he
Speaker 4: I think he gets off on that. I think he
Speaker 4: strokes the microphone as we watched him stroke. I think
Speaker 4: he strokes the microphone off of it.
Speaker 2: I felt really badly. I'm thinking, either Millennia isn't doing
Speaker 2: her job, or you know, he's hoping she will. Maybe
Speaker 2: he was giving her a few subliminal pointers. But I
Speaker 2: think of this, we have to accept the results. This
Speaker 2: is our democracy, that this is what our country is
Speaker 2: built on. We blamed the other side when they didn't
Speaker 2: accept in twenty twenty, but it made me sad because
Speaker 2: the ninth is the fall of the Berlin lall right,
Speaker 2: so that was the beginning of democracy and the and
Speaker 2: I just thought, look at the mess we're in. In
Speaker 2: thirty five years, we were so solid and now we're
Speaker 2: nothing but a big mess. I also don't like the
Speaker 2: idea of listening to Trump's the crazy talk. I was
Speaker 2: so happy to think that we wouldn't have to listen
Speaker 2: to that stupid rhetoric all the time. We will have
Speaker 2: that for four years. Whether he's effective or not.
Speaker 4: Oh, we a class every day. If it's anything indicative
Speaker 4: that first term, we will have a press conference every day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he talks more than I do.
Speaker 4: Nobody talks more than you, Bobby Cliff.
Speaker 2: But I have something that I have something to say,
Speaker 2: and I don't. I usually don't forget where I'm coming.
Speaker 4: But he's a close number two. But nobody talks and you.
Speaker 2: Oh but that's all I mean, I don't. We just
Speaker 2: have to we have to work together. You know. Bernie
Speaker 2: Sanders was was bullshit. He came out and said that
Speaker 2: the Democrats have abandoned the had abandoned the working class
Speaker 2: for the past so many number years. It wasn't shocking
Speaker 2: that they abandon us. He was very angry over her
Speaker 2: losing and the way that everything was handsled.
Speaker 4: This is this is our.
Speaker 2: That's what he was saying, you know, like it's ours again.
Speaker 2: We don't have the messaging. We don't we're afraid to
Speaker 2: be in deference where the the Republicans, which has been
Speaker 2: super successful for them, they don't care who they run over,
Speaker 2: they don't care who they talk about, who they run over.
Speaker 2: You could be the best person. I mean, just listen
Speaker 2: to Trump. He hired them. They were wonderful you just
Speaker 2: heard in a press conference, and then the bombs three
Speaker 2: months later when he lets them go. They don't care.
Speaker 2: We sat in deference. We sat in deference to Joe.
Speaker 2: If Joe was truly in decline, as they said, from
Speaker 2: what we saw now people on his immediate staff, whether
Speaker 2: they didn't notice it, they said, what they saw at
Speaker 2: that debate is not what he's like. And I saw
Speaker 2: him just an hour later jarring with his people, and
Speaker 2: he wasn't. But things were there were there were reasons
Speaker 2: to be concerned, not over that day. As George Stephanoppolos said,
Speaker 2: he was concerned, in three years, would would he still
Speaker 2: be would he still be able to perform? And he
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't agree, Yeah, but we have to. He was
Speaker 2: That's what he was saying. He goes, I think he'll
Speaker 2: be fine for the first year or two. It's after that.
Speaker 2: I truly believe that. I think Joe had no intention
Speaker 2: of doing the full bet. I think he was going
Speaker 2: to give it to her. He was going to slide
Speaker 2: her in for two years and then let me run
Speaker 2: for another tell you two years.
Speaker 4: And I wish Joe would have did that a year ago.
Speaker 4: And I wish the Democrats would have had a plan
Speaker 4: when Joe won, because Joe was going to be this
Speaker 4: age in four years and they knew that, so what
Speaker 4: did they think. Of course, he was going to get
Speaker 4: older and slower, and you know, but they didn't have
Speaker 4: a plan he should. I wish Joe now and I
Speaker 4: was team Joe, and you know, but I wish you
Speaker 4: would have stepped down a year ago, made her the president,
Speaker 4: and then people would have seen her in this position
Speaker 4: because it was the unknown that scared people. Is she ready?
Speaker 4: Is she going to be able to do it? But
Speaker 4: if she was already there, set in that seat, doing
Speaker 4: the job, then it would it would have took away
Speaker 4: a lot of that fear of the unknown. But it didn't.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you about it. It was so many variables
Speaker 4: that we lost on this. And I'm going to say
Speaker 4: this about the trans community, of the community to the
Speaker 4: community I used to be part of. I'm still trans.
Speaker 4: I'm just not a part of their community, not the
Speaker 4: crazy ones. Anyway, when they started with all the whole
Speaker 4: I'm a more woman than a woman. A woman is
Speaker 4: just an x X chromosome, and this and that. The
Speaker 4: third and a woman is a social construct. I was like,
Speaker 4: y'all doing too much for the allies that we've always
Speaker 4: had effectively, then they started messing with the kids, and
Speaker 4: and then anybody could be trans now anyway, And you've
Speaker 4: seen these people on tiktoks and all these social medias
Speaker 4: with the wig on and beards and the hair on
Speaker 4: their chest. Well, I'm a woman, I fair is a woman.
Speaker 4: I'm going into the women's bathroom. I am a trans woman.
Speaker 4: I am also a parent of daughters. If I was
Speaker 4: at a public restroom and I saw somebody that looked
Speaker 4: like Donald Trump with a wig on, no makeup, no
Speaker 4: effort to try to look like walk into the women's bathroom,
Speaker 4: I'm going to have a problem with that, and I'm
Speaker 4: going to say something. And I am training, so I'm going, now,
Speaker 4: you can't be here in the bathroom with my daughter
Speaker 4: because it's it's just inappropriate. But they kept pushing the
Speaker 4: narrative because trands again is not on you, it's in you.
Speaker 4: I think that was a big push and it scared
Speaker 4: the hell out of people. It pushed people away, and
Speaker 4: they you, when they found out that it scared people,
Speaker 4: they used the trans narrative to weaponize it against us,
Speaker 4: to make people afraid of us.
Speaker 2: That in their reproductive light rights. You get the super religious,
Speaker 2: the evangelicals and et cetera. They already they already had
Speaker 2: to fight up against the reproductive rights because everybody that
Speaker 2: isn't super religious were for it. So they were. I mean,
Speaker 2: there were four states past measures to protect it, Arizona, Colorado,
Speaker 2: New York, and Maryland.
Speaker 4: So that was good.
Speaker 2: But I agree with you, these are they picked their
Speaker 2: they picked their messaging. He's stuck on brand, and we didn't.
Speaker 2: We the people were They were worried about their pocketbook,
Speaker 2: and they were worried about immigration. And we kept saying
Speaker 2: to them that the economy is great. It is great.
Speaker 2: It's great as far as not in the every day.
Speaker 2: But we bounced back from the pandemic faster than anybody else.
Speaker 2: We avoided a recession. We had that soft landing that
Speaker 2: we spoke about last week. Our money is coming the
Speaker 2: money is coming up, the costs are coming down, but
Speaker 2: it's going to take a long time. If they if
Speaker 2: they could have said, I understand they did in the end,
Speaker 2: I understand that you're concerned, but this is why the
Speaker 2: prices are up. You know, Joe Biden didn't say to
Speaker 2: you know, Hostess, raise all your cupcakes up. But he
Speaker 2: can only do so much. It's a world market. It's
Speaker 2: if we're willing to spend the money on those Hostess cupcakes,
Speaker 2: we will pay the buck fifty more. They're going to
Speaker 2: keep charging it. They would have, you know, there's a
Speaker 2: whole formula. I am not an economist, but if they
Speaker 2: explained it in layman's terms, maybe people would have understood.
Speaker 2: If they had said, we made mistakes on the border,
Speaker 2: but we're going to build on it, maybe people would
Speaker 2: have understood.
Speaker 4: And since the pandemic, price gallenging has become commonplace, it
Speaker 4: really has. It really has just become commonplace. With the
Speaker 4: price galleg people are raising prices excessively, ridiculously, and don't
Speaker 4: let it be a disaster. They go crazy with that
Speaker 4: because people seem to have no compassion for another human being.
Speaker 4: It's crazy by me. It's just, oh my god, it's out.
Speaker 2: Of control, and people are wondering what's going to happen
Speaker 2: to JD. Vance guys, JD fans, he didn't go anywhere.
Speaker 2: He was the governor, and he's going back to a
Speaker 2: state as the governor, he has two years on his seat.
Speaker 2: All that happened is his lieutenant governor slid over and
Speaker 2: she would have taken the seat had he had Kama
Speaker 2: been elected. She slid over while he stumped, you know,
Speaker 2: did all the stomping. So he just goes back to
Speaker 2: where he came from. He had a really successful twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three, getting a lot done. I don't know what
Speaker 2: it's going to be like for him going back there,
Speaker 2: you know, especially where they voted Republican.
Speaker 4: I think the Democrats should have had lions like childish
Speaker 4: cat ladies and should have been mean and nasty, because
Speaker 4: it looks like that's what America wanted. They wanted the
Speaker 4: most trifling, mean, nasty statements, the disrespectful that I don't
Speaker 4: care about it, and because that seemed to have won.
Speaker 4: It's so crazy that was just Let me just give
Speaker 4: an example that we just had a contest in the
Speaker 4: community in Atlanta recently, just this past weekend, and it
Speaker 4: didn't go the way people thought it was going to go.
Speaker 4: And the one girl had a gripe and she was
Speaker 4: on there doing her gripe and being negative and not
Speaker 4: necessarily negative, just expressing her point of view, she had
Speaker 4: eight hundred people. But if you go on LABE to
Speaker 4: talk about the importance of this election to vote, you'll
Speaker 4: get twenty people. The negative is winning. The hate, the bitterness,
Speaker 4: the anger is winning. The love is dust.
Speaker 2: People love, people love missing. I don't I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't mind talking about what's out because there are things
Speaker 2: that like the Diddy thing. We talked about that and
Speaker 2: we'll follow that is is because it does influence, It
Speaker 2: influences things in society. But I don't always like to
Speaker 2: talk about or I don't want to always just talk
Speaker 2: about nothing but stuff like that. I think, you know,
Speaker 2: there are other things that are important, and we have
Speaker 2: to remember, you know, justice or the way we feel
Speaker 2: in democracy, it doesn't end with the ballot box. It's
Speaker 2: something that we live every day. It lives in our hearts,
Speaker 2: it lives in how and we have to again brush
Speaker 2: ourselves off and keep moving. You know, the fight's not over.
Speaker 2: It will never be over until we figure it out.
Speaker 2: But we got to get smarter, We got to get
Speaker 2: we got to get a little dirty. We don't have
Speaker 2: to be the victory all has to stop. We don't
Speaker 2: have to do that, but we got to hit them.
Speaker 2: We gotta hit him at the knees. I'm going to
Speaker 2: be interested to see if Biden does anything over the
Speaker 2: next fourteen weeks ago.
Speaker 4: I would love to see Biden gold just Rogue and
Speaker 4: Ham and just really I don't know. I know what
Speaker 4: you say, Bobby, that he's his intergrity. I still don't
Speaker 4: like the fact that the way all of this has
Speaker 4: went down and he has to leave the office and
Speaker 4: Biden is almost like the forgotten man right now because
Speaker 4: people seem to have forgotten he as the president. I
Speaker 4: still would like for him to give I know he
Speaker 4: said he wouldn't, but I would like for him to
Speaker 4: pardon his son. I would if he does nothing else,
Speaker 4: and I wish he would do some other things. I
Speaker 4: would like to see him part in his son.
Speaker 2: He won't because he'll show favoritism. But I will tell you,
Speaker 2: as we just talked about them having a powow, I
Speaker 2: guarantee that they're sitting down Kamala and Joe and trying
Speaker 2: to figure out who they can pardon, what they can do,
Speaker 2: you know, can they make pot legal everywhere? Like, can
Speaker 2: they federally? What can they do by the executive order?
Speaker 2: People think it's a stroke of a pen. I think
Speaker 2: Trump thought that until he got in there. It's not
Speaker 2: like that. There are guardrails that are set up in
Speaker 2: our constitution that only give the presidency so much power.
Speaker 2: They don't want a dictator and they don't want a king.
Speaker 2: So but I bet you anything, he's trying to figure
Speaker 2: out what he can actually get done. Mitch McConnell. All
Speaker 2: of a sudden, Mitch mcconnald's talking about defense spending has
Speaker 2: to be up because it is cheaper to fund a
Speaker 2: war than to actually be in it. No shit, a Mitch,
Speaker 2: way you been, honey, did you have one of your
Speaker 2: frozen moments? Joe's trying to get money for Zelensky and
Speaker 2: oh no, you know they're busting horns on that, but
Speaker 2: you know, and telling how he's handling it wrong, Mike.
Speaker 4: Mitch McConnell been in poptickle mode.
Speaker 2: He's been frozen, he's been something. You know, his his
Speaker 2: his value is he's losing a little bit as well.
Speaker 2: I think this is the last term anyway. I think
Speaker 2: he said his seats might might be might be one
Speaker 2: of the midterm election seats. Stop working people, who do
Speaker 2: you want to see in there stack promoting them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Democrats, we have to have a plane. That is,
Speaker 4: that is we have to have a major strategic and
Speaker 4: stop talking about it. Move in silence, but move like
Speaker 4: a machine underground and make it happen. It is. It's crazy, Bobby.
Speaker 2: We have to be we have to be staff. Right now,
Speaker 2: we have one hundred and ninety two seats for the House.
Speaker 2: The Democrats do. Republicans have two to eight. But before
Speaker 2: you we had a lot of seats not counted, a
Speaker 2: lot of seats in a lot in democratic areas. You
Speaker 2: need two hundred and eighteen for control. So let's hope
Speaker 2: that we get fifteen seats. I would like to I
Speaker 2: would really like it to be much over. I'd like
Speaker 2: to see Hakeem Jeffreys in there doing something right now.
Speaker 2: We flip flopped, the dams lost four seats and the
Speaker 2: GOP picked up again four seats. We're like training right now.
Speaker 2: I'd like to see us hold a little something.
Speaker 4: And would I agree with you. I'd like to see
Speaker 4: Kim Jeffries. He has a cool level here and he
Speaker 4: speaks with an intelligence that Mike Johnson is a hot
Speaker 4: head and he is completely kissed the ring too. When
Speaker 4: you took Ramaswami's face out of that over position, Mike
Speaker 4: Johnson's face is right up in there.
Speaker 2: Other than they could news the seat. I would not
Speaker 2: be surprised if Mike Johnson would vie for something else,
Speaker 2: Secretary of State, something you know, with a little more
Speaker 2: power and a little more flash. I think King Jeffery
Speaker 2: is when the when the vitriol Marjorie Taylor Green and
Speaker 2: all her nonsense starts talking. I think, just like Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 2: he will shut that ship down. I don't think he's
Speaker 2: gonna let it go on.
Speaker 4: Web Let me ask you a question when we have
Speaker 4: a listener fans listeners before we head out of here,
Speaker 4: do you think that she should have made a different
Speaker 4: choice for the vice presidential Canada depict Do you think
Speaker 4: you should have chosen Josh Shapiro that would have possibly
Speaker 4: got us Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: She went by a gut reaction. I can't it's tired
Speaker 2: to Monday morning quarterback. Why she did it. I don't
Speaker 2: know if they got along beautifully. I certainly I knew
Speaker 2: nothing about him. He's a lovely man, Josh Shapiro. I
Speaker 2: think I was surprised that they didn't go for a
Speaker 2: swing state or a battleground state that we were desperate for.
Speaker 2: To be cool, I have to be really honest with you,
Speaker 2: Josh Shapiro. I don't know if Josh Shapiro wanted wanted
Speaker 2: the seat she was going for more than like, I
Speaker 2: don't know if they would have butted head. I don't
Speaker 2: know what that would have been.
Speaker 4: Like, I think.
Speaker 2: I don't know if she spoke with President Obama at all,
Speaker 2: because President Obama still will say, other than Michelle, one
Speaker 2: of the smartest things he ever did was pick Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: You know, he sat back, he looked who could give
Speaker 2: the Where was he weak? President Obama foreign policy was
Speaker 2: one of the places, and he picked someone based on that.
Speaker 2: So where we all, oh, go ahead.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, finished finish your statement?
Speaker 2: Where we only had one hundred and seven days. And
Speaker 2: I thought she ran a very solid campaign for one
Speaker 2: hundred and seven days. I think that her team as
Speaker 2: well should have been a little bit more strategic of
Speaker 2: knowing there were battleground states. Maybe one of those battleground
Speaker 2: states Michigan, right, we could have had. Although people would
Speaker 2: never have gone for two women.
Speaker 4: I only asked that question because watching how aggressive and Nazty,
Speaker 4: the Republicans were. Josh Shapiro plays their game. He plays
Speaker 4: the same way they played. That's right. So I thought
Speaker 4: that America would have respected her more if she had
Speaker 4: that bulldog by her side. Tim Walls is not that bulldog.
Speaker 4: Tim Walls is a nice the fluffy, but Shapiro is.
Speaker 4: He plays just like them, And I think that's what
Speaker 4: we're not doing. We're not getting I remember I said,
Speaker 4: you gotta get down in the dirt with them because
Speaker 4: they in the day.
Speaker 2: That's what we have to do. I to do that
Speaker 2: moving forward again. We don't have to be bashing people
Speaker 2: and saying terrible things about people. Just do the friggin work.
Speaker 2: Go in there, look at it, scope it out, and
Speaker 2: be stealth, be like a Navy seal on your belly,
Speaker 2: just smiling as you're passing them by, knocking each one
Speaker 2: of them off. That's what we have to do. But
Speaker 2: we don't do it an we're a bunch of pussies.
Speaker 4: I hope say Bobby said, y'all not mean.
Speaker 2: Trump can say it, and he's gonna be the sitting president.
Speaker 2: I certainly can say it to he was.
Speaker 4: Just don't let him, just don't let him grab you,
Speaker 4: as Bobby.
Speaker 2: Please, he'd need five hands, his milania is and maybe
Speaker 2: one of barons.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's it.
Speaker 2: That's all I got.
Speaker 4: Listen, we get with this, ladies and gentlemen. Whatever we
Speaker 4: are faced against, whatever we are, like Bobby staying, we
Speaker 4: are Americans, Americans, not a notoriously known for fighting. We're
Speaker 4: gonna stand up for ourselves. It's just hard when we're
Speaker 4: fighting our own people. We're not fighting other countries, We're
Speaker 4: not fighting some strangers. We are fighting our own people.
Speaker 4: So while he kept saying what what the what was
Speaker 4: he calling us the danger within? What did he say
Speaker 4: the enemy within? We? I'm not saying that he's our enemy,
Speaker 4: but I'm damn sure not saying he's in kahoots with us.
Speaker 4: Keep your head on the swivel, saying the words of
Speaker 4: T TJ and stay safe. We don't know what's going
Speaker 4: to happen, but we do know that we like why
Speaker 4: we said, we're in the democracy. We have to stand
Speaker 4: up ourselves. And most of us are living from paycheck
Speaker 4: to paycheck and just trying to survive. Elon Musk, who
Speaker 4: I'm damn sure sure he's going to put in a
Speaker 4: very high position on his cabinet said that we are
Speaker 4: going to face some very hard times. Temporary, temporary for
Speaker 4: us could be a year or two years, because temporary
Speaker 4: for him seems to be a day or two. So
Speaker 4: what you guys do is stay strong, stay diligent, listen to.
Speaker 2: You you have you.
Speaker 4: Get them interested in political science, Get them interested, because
Speaker 4: we gotta stop putting us on us to see to
Speaker 4: take to receive us, because we keep letting other people
Speaker 4: who don't think like us, who don't live like us,
Speaker 4: who don't understand our ups and downs because they are
Speaker 4: the super wealthy or the super privileged. They'll never understand
Speaker 4: what the regular Americans like they is like. They're never will.
Speaker 2: You know what makes me sad? I think of your kids,
Speaker 2: your kids ages exactly perfectly. They don't know what it
Speaker 2: was like with politics for you and I flame where
Speaker 2: we saw people working across the aisle, shaking hands, duking
Speaker 2: it out all day on the floor, going to get
Speaker 2: a drink, tip O'Neil, Joe Moakley. You know McCain and Biden,
Speaker 2: they don't know what they were gentlemen, You know they weren't.
Speaker 2: They weren't up calling people using the p word and
Speaker 2: the C word and and all that just nonsense, the swearing,
Speaker 2: the et cetera, et cetera. You know, our Sirish Laurel
Speaker 2: Hamilton had an expression, and this is what we have
Speaker 2: to do. We have to support each other and this
Speaker 2: is this a private fight or can anyone join? And
Speaker 2: that's what we have to do for each other. We
Speaker 2: have to be We love a fight, especially the Irish,
Speaker 2: we love a fight. You're going to fight for your friends.
Speaker 2: We've got to be on each other's shoulders, looking out
Speaker 2: for each other, and then we're going to get through this. It's,
Speaker 2: as Flame said, it's going to be a really tough
Speaker 2: first year because even in Washington, it's going to be
Speaker 2: horrible growing pains. He's the only valid for two years.
Speaker 2: We can do two years. We just did it. Flame
Speaker 2: and I have been together doing this for two years.
Speaker 2: For the love of God. We can do it.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna have to. Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 4: I love you, Bobby, I appreciate you. Play Man. People
Speaker 4: out here on that and learn Land they're probably listen.

Speaker 4: you for voting, yep, thank you for listening. Thank you
Speaker 4: for encouraging, thank you for inspiring. We did our part,
Speaker 4: you did apart. Now we just got to stay in
Speaker 4: this together because a lot of us want to leave America.
Speaker 4: That sounds great, That sounds like you look, do you
Speaker 4: know how expensive that he is? Though honestly.
Speaker 2: Not really. Yeah, and it's not much better at other places.
Speaker 2: And you know what we sound like, We sound like
Speaker 2: sword losers because strangely enough, and this is the part
Speaker 2: that blows my mind, the other side was just as
Speaker 2: terrified that Kamala would get in as we were for Trump.
Speaker 2: You know, so somebody has to It's democracy, this is
Speaker 2: what we were fighting for. She did. She did a
Speaker 2: peaceful handover and a transition of power the way it
Speaker 2: should have been the last time. I'm back with with
Speaker 2: although I want to, I want to slightly change, and
Speaker 2: I'm back with Michelle Obama. When they go low, we
Speaker 2: can go high. Just you know you're gonna be a
Speaker 2: little dirtier than that, though. Just keep moving, you know,
Speaker 2: don't don't turn your other cheek. Just keep it going
Speaker 2: and support the people that have a issues, because depression
Speaker 2: right now is real thing.
Speaker 4: We have a whole America and we have a whole
Speaker 4: country of America. And I'm telling you, the realization of
Speaker 4: me knowing how popular he was amongst the other side
Speaker 4: was when I went to Big Salem, Pennsylvania. Because we
Speaker 4: only see what we want. If we don't want them,
Speaker 4: we don't want them. But when I went to Ben
Speaker 4: Salem and I saw all those shrimp sounds, I talked
Speaker 4: to you guys about this on here on laugh and learn.
Speaker 4: I knew then, Oh my god, for all of us,

Speaker 4: came out here, they came out heavy. So listen, here

Speaker 4: change your man. We are only trying to get you
