Speaker 2: Happy new Year. Do you remember when you were kids?
Speaker 2: Did you used to go out into the driveway or
Speaker 2: hang pots out the window and climb together. No one
Speaker 2: does that anymore.
Speaker 3: No girl, I grew up in a project. We get
Speaker 3: between walls and got in the Bathfield to make sure
Speaker 3: the straight bullets didn't hit it. Good God, very different. Yes,
Speaker 3: we think they were fireworks, but they definitely were not.
Speaker 2: We were trying to make our own the poor way.
Speaker 3: Well, y'all, poor was very different from our poor But yeah,
Speaker 3: nevertheless we made I'm thirty nine and your forty. Thank
Speaker 3: you Jesus, what did you do?
Speaker 2: Anything fun?
Speaker 3: I can't talk about it on laughing line, which of
Speaker 3: course it was fun. At the top of it. We
Speaker 3: thank you so much about me. I'm glad we made it.
Speaker 2: Oh me too, And I feel like in my bones
Speaker 2: for the both of us, I feel like this is
Speaker 2: going to be a year of new possibilities. I think
Speaker 2: I don't know what it's going to be, but I
Speaker 2: think this is going to be our year flying twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four.
Speaker 3: Well, I think that we're going to I think that
Speaker 3: the truth is really starting to show up in the
Speaker 3: world and people are so sick of living in lives.
Speaker 3: And what you do get at lap Aline is you
Speaker 3: do get the truth. And it's not our truth. It
Speaker 3: is the truth. Because I know people are to say, oh,
Speaker 3: that's my truth. No, it's not your truth. It is
Speaker 3: the truth. You've made it something else, so you believe that,
Speaker 3: but it is the truth. So hopefully the people won't
Speaker 3: do that because this will be a huge political year
Speaker 3: in America for twenty twenty four and very exciting and
Speaker 3: not always in a great way. So what Bobby Cliffin
Speaker 3: and myself will try to do is make it as
Speaker 3: simple as possible. From an American's perspective, we look like
Speaker 3: something different, we identify something different anatomically with different but
Speaker 3: we are both card carrying, voting Americans. So the same
Speaker 3: thing that happened to Bobby is the same thing that
Speaker 3: happens to me. Keep trying to me. Remind you all
Speaker 3: of that you're an American, it happens to all of us.
Speaker 3: So vote right and make sure you vote because good
Speaker 3: Guy is getting scary, Bobby is getting scary.
Speaker 2: And do your research. Do a little homework, everybody don't
Speaker 2: like Listen to who your friend might be voting for.
Speaker 2: You find out yourself, See if they have the same
Speaker 2: mind theology, See where the country is going and what
Speaker 2: that person has to offer you. I heard two kids
Speaker 2: gonna be voting for the first time in the store
Speaker 2: the other day, and one was just gonna blindly go
Speaker 2: along with their friend without even doing any due diligence.
Speaker 2: So we have smart people on here. Let's let's vote
Speaker 2: correctly for you.
Speaker 3: And that's where you vote for you, that's what you
Speaker 3: vote for. You're voting for you. But you better know
Speaker 3: that you're voted for you for more than just one day.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be stuck with it for quite some time.
Speaker 3: So make sure you know what you're doing.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Speaking with I'm sitting president having his speech, his uh,
Speaker 3: his kickoff speech on Saturday, January to sixth, of all days.
Speaker 3: Why is January sixth such a what is that number?
Speaker 3: Just possibly?
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. I think there was
Speaker 2: a big tour at in Congress that day, wasn't there?
Speaker 2: And you don't moved out?
Speaker 3: Honest? Yes, nothing, He's done that. The strategy of it
Speaker 3: all is the best. And the debates are coming up,
Speaker 3: the final debate on the Republican side where the final prison. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the final Republican debate is coming right, and we're only
Speaker 3: down to NICKI he yep. Do you think Trump is
Speaker 3: going to show up?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I don't you know? What he should for his people
Speaker 2: to try to try to, you know, kind of rally
Speaker 2: his forces, but he doesn't have to. He's leading everybody
Speaker 2: in the polls, which is to me, it's so frightening
Speaker 2: that they have two other people. I'm not crazy about
Speaker 2: either one of them. They're not bad bad. I think
Speaker 2: one's an imbecile. But Nicki Headley, I don't mind too much.
Speaker 2: But they're not even looking at her. They're not looking
Speaker 2: at her qualifications. They're not looking if she could do
Speaker 2: a you know, do the job. They'd rather the guy
Speaker 2: with the ninety one indictments. It's kind of shocking to me.
Speaker 3: Is it shocking or is there America's way?
Speaker 2: It was so you just said a mouthful, as my
Speaker 2: Grimpy would say, But it's America right now. This isn't
Speaker 2: historically how we would go. I remember way back, or
Speaker 2: you even watch some of the old time black and
Speaker 2: white movies. They used to think who sounded the most presidential,
Speaker 2: even though they might be an imbecile, but they had
Speaker 2: they had a great sound to them, looked the most presidential.
Speaker 2: He is not the guy, you know, It's like it's
Speaker 2: like the new America. He's the clickbait guy. He's the entertainment.
Speaker 2: He's you know, the apprentice.
Speaker 3: Oh he can go back to that. We can make
Speaker 3: that the number one show on TV and we'll be
Speaker 3: just fine with I'm just saying he would rather than
Speaker 3: him saying your fire, him saying and that he's the
Speaker 3: president and every day we got to fit through one
Speaker 3: of his press conferences, he's gonna be a dictator, insult
Speaker 3: in every reporter or anybody in the room because y'all
Speaker 3: allow him that. I hope we don't go back to that.
Speaker 3: Please remember those days and I agree.
Speaker 2: With that, and remember that you know, in open interviews
Speaker 2: he is admitted to the first day because he'll only
Speaker 2: need one day to be a dictator because he'll get
Speaker 2: rid of all the rules on that first day. Listen, people,
Speaker 2: I mean he's said it, he's been challenged on it,
Speaker 2: he's repeated it again. You know, go back to you know,
Speaker 2: the old saying when someone's showing you who they are,
Speaker 2: he's telling us who he is. Believe it.
Speaker 3: He showed her the first time when he didn't leave.
Speaker 3: But we ain't gonna harbor too long. But we'll be
Speaker 3: on this ship. Good God. Vote your president, don't vote
Speaker 3: your pants, don't rot your feature the features, deary, vote
Speaker 3: what you're living in right now and you know what
Speaker 3: you're living in, you know the situation you liveing in.
Speaker 3: Before we're going to further the Biben was old when
Speaker 3: he was the vice president to Obama, which I'll thought
Speaker 3: he drank the Benjamin bud and went back.
Speaker 2: No, no, not at all. But the one thing that
Speaker 2: you've been saying all along, and it's the truth. The
Speaker 2: reason that Obama, who was very inexperienced, voted, not voted,
Speaker 2: had him brought him onto his campaign was because Joe
Speaker 2: had tremendous experience. And one of the best things that
Speaker 2: Joe did was foreign policy he made so let's remember it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: especially in this world of wars all over the place,
Speaker 2: we need someone with excellent foreign policies, chops.
Speaker 3: And he is still building and repairing and rebuilding allies
Speaker 3: that we lost during the last administration, So we have
Speaker 3: to give him a credit for that. So he can't
Speaker 3: be You don't need to see him eighteen every day
Speaker 3: as long as he's doing the job. So yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: still riding with Bite. He just can't drive because good god,
Speaker 3: we know what he did on the bike. That's all right.
Speaker 2: We took my Grandpy's keys away. Then he were a
Speaker 2: little older than him. But that's all right. He doesn't
Speaker 2: need to drive. He can he can sit. I mean
Speaker 2: he's already. So we had a terrible earthquake, We've had
Speaker 2: a couple which I want you to speak to. But
Speaker 2: in Japan, and the first thing that he did, you know,
Speaker 2: he was making a statement that the US stands ready
Speaker 2: to provide any necessary assistance to Japan. Would you believe that?
Speaker 2: You know that eighty years ago when we were fighting
Speaker 2: them in the war. But he's he's smoothed it off
Speaker 2: and he's offering them exactly what the US should be
Speaker 2: offering them to keep them as the best allies that
Speaker 2: we possibly can.
Speaker 3: And that shows that shows great faith, That shows that
Speaker 3: America cares and that we will build. He will build
Speaker 3: that ally with Japan because we we will need somebody
Speaker 3: to stay with America if anything goes left. So that
Speaker 3: heads off of your body, right.
Speaker 2: It's so many people I don't understand that like I
Speaker 2: do see that they're frustrated and when we don't have
Speaker 2: the money. You know that we that we had and
Speaker 2: in different decades here in the US, but you have
Speaker 2: to pay, like the war in Ukraine and the war
Speaker 2: in Israel, these are our allies. There are people that
Speaker 2: watch our back overseas, so that's we need. We need
Speaker 2: people that are in Asia. So you have to help
Speaker 2: people out financially. That's how you show love.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, well that's how you real friendships as well. And
Speaker 3: we need our friendships, right because guess what we got
Speaker 3: a lot of enemies.
Speaker 2: Oh well, you know it's well people the people who
Speaker 2: are loving watching us come apart of the seams and
Speaker 2: acting so un American like, yeah, they certainly are. But
Speaker 2: so we discussed that earthquake. What about what happened in California.
Speaker 2: You guys had one too, didn't you.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we had a four point one. I felt
Speaker 3: that here in Long Beach too, Bobby, my beer was shaken.
Speaker 3: I feel like Lenda Blanda X waiting. I was waiting.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I was shaking. Yeah. And where we
Speaker 3: are in Long Beach, because we're right on the San
Speaker 3: Andreas fault line. It was that was that wasn't one
Speaker 3: of the bigger ones. I felt that actually felt one
Speaker 3: that shook the pictures off the wall. And the actual
Speaker 3: quake is not the scary part for me. It's the
Speaker 3: trimmers afterwards, because that's what really shakes up the trimmers.
Speaker 3: That really was scary the aftermath. So I don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I did feel that when my
Speaker 3: whole house felt My daughter's like, do you feel that?
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I felt it the earth. I
Speaker 3: felt the earth move under my feet, under your feet.
Speaker 3: That's scary though, why because that was all the way
Speaker 3: in Japan and then we had you know, I believe
Speaker 3: that a lot of that stuff be so connected some
Speaker 3: kind of way, you know. I don't know that was
Speaker 3: if we got there after man.
Speaker 2: Could be they're waiting. I things were so bad for them.
Speaker 2: It was. Now this means absolutely nothing to me, but
Speaker 2: to some people, well, it was a seven point sex
Speaker 2: magnitude that they actually were thinking that they were going
Speaker 2: to have tsunamis, you know. And the last time we
Speaker 2: ever really heard of a tsunami something that was big
Speaker 2: was was the one in Bali that time. You know,
Speaker 2: that's really that that kind of those waves come in
Speaker 2: and just flatten an entire island. That was kind of scary.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: I think I would drop dead if I ever felt
Speaker 2: an earthquake, and they we haven't had one here in
Speaker 2: the New England area. In so long, nothing that anybody
Speaker 2: could you know that. I'm sure that we're due for it.
Speaker 2: I don't know how we'd handle it.
Speaker 3: Well, don't be inviting it, Bobby, don't be inviting now.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: Mean.
Speaker 3: She didn't mean it at all.
Speaker 2: What have you been up? What do you have coming up?
Speaker 2: What have you been doing?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: Just just enjoying the holidays?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, we got a show coming up on
Speaker 3: the nineteen. We'll get to the end of the show.
Speaker 3: But I do have a show come up in New York.
Speaker 3: I'm ready to tell y'all about that. And I got
Speaker 3: something big coming next week, but I can't tell you
Speaker 3: all about it. But we're gonna start leaving brig crowned
Speaker 3: as early as tomorrow anyway. And it's going to help.
Speaker 3: It's going to help laugh and learn. It's going to
Speaker 3: help because I have a new I had to get
Speaker 3: a new Instagram page. I was hacked by it. Oh, Bobby,
Speaker 3: I was hacked. Somebody hacked me.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine. I like, they don't have a big
Speaker 2: enough life. I mean, that's how people spend their.
Speaker 3: Time, and they try to exhort me to get it back.
Speaker 3: I told him happylidate sticking to your a.
Speaker 2: I don't, but I'm sure, I am hoping, and I'm
Speaker 2: sure that you reported it because you know, if they
Speaker 2: did anything on your page, you don't want to be
Speaker 2: the one that's held responsible for it. And if they're
Speaker 2: doing it to you, God knows so many other other
Speaker 2: people they're doing it.
Speaker 3: So over the weekend of this past weekend, by it,
Speaker 3: let's talking about what's happening in the world. Gypsy roadcast
Speaker 3: release Gypsey Rose was released from prison. Jessey Rose at
Speaker 3: Blanchet was released from prison after what ten years?
Speaker 2: I think she served eight. I think I think ten
Speaker 2: was her sentence. I think and she served eight. I
Speaker 2: gotta tell ya, I have really mixed emotions about her
Speaker 2: because she was her mom had Monchausen's and tortured her
Speaker 2: for years, gave her medications, had her half procedures. She was,
Speaker 2: you know, cheer bound. You know, the poor kid couldn't
Speaker 2: even be a kid for entire life. And her she
Speaker 2: had her boyfriend. I don't know how she got a boyfriend. God,
Speaker 2: I am really doing things wrong, But she got a
Speaker 2: boyfriend and he shot the mother and killed her. I
Speaker 2: honest to God, I think that she should have had
Speaker 2: time off for you know, all the passions of the mother.
Speaker 2: But she obviously did okay in jail. She got married.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you she's going to have some sort of
Speaker 2: magical whatever. I wish her the best luck. And I
Speaker 2: don't know how this girl could be mentally together, to
Speaker 2: be quite honest, do you wait a minute.
Speaker 3: She got married to the boyfriend.
Speaker 2: Somebody knew, No, somebody else, somebody else, Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, lookal then came up.
Speaker 2: That's something. But he was waiting for her like he
Speaker 2: you know, I guess he did all sorts of there's somebody.
Speaker 2: You have to have some sort of sponsor or something.
Speaker 2: I guess when you're and you're going to be getting out,
Speaker 2: somebody that works with you for a couple of years.
Speaker 2: And they were very pleased. They were very nervous at first,
Speaker 2: they said, when they when they heard that she was
Speaker 2: going to be get married, but after meeting him and
Speaker 2: seeing their relationship, she was very pleased for because she
Speaker 2: has nobody. I think she's been and I don't think
Speaker 2: the mother had much of an infrastructure as far as
Speaker 2: friends and family, So now this poor girl has even less.
Speaker 2: But she's out, she's finally free. Those were her words.
Speaker 2: God bless her.
Speaker 3: Oh it's so many that story's so many different levels
Speaker 3: because you know, the Bible tells us to honor thy
Speaker 3: mother and my father. But the mother was doing wretched
Speaker 3: things to that baby, keep us sick just because of
Speaker 3: her illness. You know, God, mother had her own illness,
Speaker 3: and I hate that nobody didn't know what see and
Speaker 3: that's probably why she had no friends and family around,
Speaker 3: because somebody would figured it out that she's poisoning her
Speaker 3: own kids. So but I'm with you, Bobby, that girl
Speaker 3: is going and then she you know, she had her
Speaker 3: own mother. She had a hand in having her own
Speaker 3: mother murder, right, she did.
Speaker 2: So she didn't she I think she admitted it, like
Speaker 2: I don't think it was a big you know, she
Speaker 2: was hiding anything because.
Speaker 3: And part of me wants to be upstep with her
Speaker 3: that she had her own mother killed. But the other
Speaker 3: part of me wants to be like, what took you
Speaker 3: so long? Because the mother when she found out what
Speaker 3: the mother was doing to you, I get it, and
Speaker 3: I want you all to take that like I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna doone and murder. I'm not no doing what the
Speaker 3: mother did. To her either. I just want you all
Speaker 3: to see that from both sides, and she will be
Speaker 3: a wreck, probably her whole life. I just hope that
Speaker 3: if she decides to have children, oh she doesn't, that
Speaker 3: it doesn't go any further than this, because you know,
Speaker 3: it's usually generational.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, I mean she, I mean she
Speaker 2: she could be a lovely she could be the opposite,
Speaker 2: do too much for the kid. But I think I'd
Speaker 2: just like to see her have a half decent life
Speaker 2: after the hell that she went through, because it is
Speaker 2: honor your mother and father, But your parents are supposed
Speaker 2: to give up their own lives to take care of
Speaker 2: that child, not put that put your your children in jeopardy.
Speaker 2: But you did bring a good thing up. The mother
Speaker 2: did have an ills. Biproxy is an actual mental illness.
Speaker 2: I just wish somebody had picked it up with the
Speaker 2: poor kid. And god knows if she can even have children.
Speaker 2: I don't don't know all the stuff that the mother did,
Speaker 2: nor do I want to, you know. And speaking of
Speaker 2: did you see the of bad Mothers? Did you see
Speaker 2: that that Kimberly Singler, she she's from Colorado that they
Speaker 2: arrested her Finally, she was on the loose, killed her
Speaker 2: killed two children, injured a third, and they caught her
Speaker 2: in the UK. Can you imagine they arrested her in
Speaker 2: the UK over the weekend? Thank God. Like, if you
Speaker 2: don't want kids, to give them up. There are so
Speaker 2: many people, even foster kids, that would take kids in, Like,
Speaker 2: don't kill them.
Speaker 3: I love. Let me segue to Colorado since she brought
Speaker 3: up Colorado because Colorado, you know, last episode we did,
Speaker 3: I was kissing Colorado's governments, but because they removed Donald
Speaker 3: Trump's name off the primary. But they had a shooting
Speaker 3: at their courthouse and now they stand of the guys
Speaker 3: mental illness. The story is still unfolding. But my conspiracy
Speaker 3: is he was in avid Trump support and they did
Speaker 3: that because they took his name off. And I'm hoping
Speaker 3: that that is not what is going to happen to
Speaker 3: the states that decide to remove his name off the
Speaker 3: primary baths. Now, nobody has not been reported anywhere that
Speaker 3: that was the reason, But I say it's my own
Speaker 3: personal conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think, And you said, the most important
Speaker 2: thing is is that it's actually still unfolding, right, So
Speaker 2: he he, I don't know, he had some sort of accident,
Speaker 2: first chi accident and then was shooting in hall. You know,
Speaker 2: it was very dramatic, but you're right, they're saying that
Speaker 2: they don't know if it has anything to do, so
Speaker 2: we're going to have to wait, and I hope it doesn't.
Speaker 2: It doesn't turn out that that's what it was.
Speaker 3: Plain.
Speaker 2: I hope it is just a mentally ill person because
Speaker 2: we have many states that are a few of them already.
Speaker 3: Have about out.
Speaker 2: We have Maine who has has decided to go to
Speaker 2: the route that Colorado did. The Secretary of State is,
Speaker 2: in fact it is a Democrat. I would love if
Speaker 2: we had some Republicans, some brave Republicans that are coming
Speaker 2: forward and saying that Amendment fourteen, Section three applied. You
Speaker 2: know that it wasn't all because it looks so political
Speaker 2: when it's just all Democrats that are making these big.
Speaker 3: Moves, right, And I hear you on that, Bobby, But
Speaker 3: they are. I'm sure there's some Republicans that feel just
Speaker 3: like that. But with his numbers being where they are
Speaker 3: according to the polls, and his popularity greatly rising, they
Speaker 3: are petrified of losing their position.
Speaker 2: But do you think claim honestly do you think that
Speaker 2: some of these moves that are being made, even though
Speaker 2: we're liking them and they're correct, I feel like they're
Speaker 2: just fueling him even more. Yeah, you know, like the
Speaker 2: worst he does, the higher he goes.
Speaker 3: Well, we had an episode called it is America rewarding
Speaker 3: bad behavior because that's what it looks like, and speaking
Speaker 3: of bad behavior and America behavior. She didn't do bad behavior,
Speaker 3: but she did not speak the words or the way
Speaker 3: that they wanted her to speak. President Claudine Gay of
Speaker 3: of Harvard Harvard University has stepped down because she has
Speaker 3: been getting their threats and she has been getting all
Speaker 3: kind of threats because they felt like she was anti
Speaker 3: stamic about some statements that she made, and she didn't.
Speaker 3: I don't think she They don't feel like she stood
Speaker 3: up enough for the Jewish children at the school. Is
Speaker 3: that correct, Bobby?
Speaker 2: That's right. They they she and not just not just
Speaker 2: President Gay, but the Pennsylvania and Yale also said they
Speaker 2: they because they do it for the whole. They're looking
Speaker 2: at big picture and they feel that if a threat
Speaker 2: is made and it's in a group, that's something that
Speaker 2: they don't feel is actionable. But if they had picked
Speaker 2: one student out and then went after that one students
Speaker 2: and they could do something. And of course, when you're
Speaker 2: a scared student and you're a minority in the school,
Speaker 2: you know, there's not like five hundred of you that
Speaker 2: can kind of back each other. These kids, especially where
Speaker 2: they're paying top dollar for their educations. As you can
Speaker 2: imagine the parents and the kids, they're not quite pleased
Speaker 2: with it. But the reason supposedly that she stepped down
Speaker 2: was there's also somebody that kind of capitalized on what
Speaker 2: was going on and said that she had some sort
Speaker 2: of plagiarism whatever. So that's what she in nineteen ninety seven,
Speaker 2: she got her PhD dissertation and she didn't properly cite
Speaker 2: or something, and so she's just stepping down. I'm hoping
Speaker 2: that she's still going to be able to be a
Speaker 2: professor in the school. I'm disappointed because in the four
Speaker 2: hundred year history of the school, she is the first
Speaker 2: black female that has been able to be president, and
Speaker 2: she was only president for six months, so this is
Speaker 2: super disappointing to me. I feel badly that she felt pressured.
Speaker 2: If it's true about the plagiarism, that's a little disappointing,
Speaker 2: but you know that that too was unfolding. And here's
Speaker 2: the thing. Will she stepped down? Will we ever hear
Speaker 2: what the what the end result is? What if she
Speaker 2: didn't do it? You know, I hope somebody comes out
Speaker 2: and reports that.
Speaker 3: She will she stepping down because they say she was
Speaker 3: not able to say unequivocally that call on campus for
Speaker 3: genocide of Jews would violate the school's conduct policy. Her
Speaker 3: statement is, it is with a heavy harbor, a deep
Speaker 3: love for Harvard that I write to share that I
Speaker 3: will be stepping down as president. Gayro and they letter
Speaker 3: to Harvard community. The first black president in Harvard's nearly
Speaker 3: four hundred year history, served for just over six months,
Speaker 3: Like you said, the shortest term in the university's history.
Speaker 3: Alan Garber, who currently serves as provosts and chief is
Speaker 3: that provost provide?
Speaker 2: Yep, you said.
Speaker 3: Provosts, Provost and Chief Academic Officer at Harvard will step
Speaker 3: in as interim president intil the school finds a new
Speaker 3: labor Gay's resignation was celebrated by the conservatives, who put
Speaker 3: her a ledged plagiarism in the National Spotlight. Christopher Ruffo
Speaker 3: and activist who has helped the rally the GOP against
Speaker 3: critical race theory and other cultural issues. Said he's glad
Speaker 3: she's gone. Rather than take responsibility for minimizing anti semitism,
Speaker 3: committing serial plagiarism, intimidating the free press, and damaging the institution,
Speaker 3: she calls her critics racist, Rufo said on x currently
Speaker 3: formerly Twitter. Rufo added that this is the poison of
Speaker 3: the diversity, equity and inclusion ideology. He sounds good and racist.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine what's the first thing. He's the one
Speaker 2: who he goes against critical race theory and he thinks
Speaker 2: she's racist.
Speaker 3: Please, it had to be the pressure, because you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: and what the boldest statement out of all of that was,
Speaker 3: it took four hundred years and she's the first black female.
Speaker 3: So do you know what kind of pressure and weight
Speaker 3: was on her shoulders going in and y'all didn't even
Speaker 3: give her a chance in six months. I'm telling you
Speaker 3: she probably stepped away for her own sanity because I
Speaker 3: don't know, Yeah, family, I don't hope people don't read
Speaker 3: into like, oh she was inadequate, she could do the job.
Speaker 3: She probably stepped away from so much pressure that we
Speaker 3: know anything about that she may speak about one day,
Speaker 3: but now now to save herself, because sometimes you have
Speaker 3: to step away from things to save yourself.
Speaker 2: And she probably still wants to work. Originally when they
Speaker 2: were asking, so the person that that that stepped down
Speaker 2: from PEM, the Penn's president, they're still going to work
Speaker 2: at school. So she's probably thinking, do I still want
Speaker 2: to be able to have a career at the end
Speaker 2: of this, you know, because where are you going to
Speaker 2: go if you're if you're you know, kind of booted out.
Speaker 2: So and if she's got a family, just important one
Speaker 2: that's Kevin McCarthy. Yeah, he's going to do something though,
Speaker 2: he's going to help the community in different ways playing
Speaker 2: don't be silly.
Speaker 3: Speaking of booted out. Also, Maine has taken down Trump's
Speaker 3: name of the Price and they're fighting it. Baby. That
Speaker 3: lady said, I'm going to court, and I hear what
Speaker 3: you're saying, Bobby. As far as the Democrats, you wish
Speaker 3: more Republicans, but they are really petrified to speak up
Speaker 3: and they just speak I know. So what we know
Speaker 3: is everybody is fighting for seat number two to see
Speaker 3: who he will pick to be his choice for vice president.
Speaker 3: We do know that because they're not going to catch
Speaker 3: up with him whether he debates or not. And the
Speaker 3: worst he does, the more popular he becomes. So but
Speaker 3: it's just it's still up to us as American people
Speaker 3: to make the choice of what we want. I think
Speaker 3: a lot of people are choosing his freedom of speech
Speaker 3: because that's the way they want to speak. I think
Speaker 3: they've been held back from being able to say what
Speaker 3: they want to say for such a long time, and
Speaker 3: he has given them a voice and the courage which
Speaker 3: I talked about on The Wizard of Ours from they
Speaker 3: Want a Coffee Time that those morals are hard of
Speaker 3: bring and courage when you got all three of you dangerous. Yeah,
Speaker 3: a lot of them ain't got no brain. Let's just
Speaker 3: be honest. But he's given them hard encourage to be
Speaker 3: able to say what they want to say. But then
Speaker 3: thinking that this is going to be long term and
Speaker 3: we're destroying our country. We're not making it great, we're
Speaker 3: making it ungreat.
Speaker 2: I don't know what we're making it, and I don't
Speaker 2: It makes no sense to me. Flame it just does.
Speaker 2: It doesn't. I don't get it.
Speaker 3: I don't get it, and and and his policies, and
Speaker 3: it makes it look like that borner wall thing that
Speaker 3: he was talking about. You know, I'm not in agreement
Speaker 3: with it, but it makes it look like it was
Speaker 3: very relevant because look at what's happening with our immigrants,
Speaker 3: with all people coming over here, and I don't want
Speaker 3: to call them immigrants. We all damn immigrants. We all
Speaker 3: came over here because we were not our origins. Wasn't
Speaker 3: born here were you're from Ireland, Hill, We were from Africa.
Speaker 3: I told you I was happy with my bone in
Speaker 3: my nose. But now we and so we have all
Speaker 3: migrated here. We have all migrated from somewhere else looking
Speaker 3: for a better life, which is what those people are doing.
Speaker 3: I just wish we had a system. I wish we
Speaker 3: had a system that worked.
Speaker 2: Well, that worked. You said it, because we do have
Speaker 2: a system, but it's not. We need to either open
Speaker 2: up the numbers.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: President Biden wants to whoever wants to come and work
Speaker 2: immediately in the jobs we need, the migrant jobs. The
Speaker 2: jobs everybody you know, grocery stores everywhere. The kids don't
Speaker 2: want to get the jobs because they're too good. He
Speaker 2: wants to make sure that they have some sort of
Speaker 2: paperwork so that they can work immediately. People aren't pleased
Speaker 2: with that because they'd be paying for their own health care.
Speaker 2: You know, if you're working, you're getting all your own benefits.
Speaker 2: They wouldn't be taking off of the off of the
Speaker 2: country's dole. But we do need to we need to
Speaker 2: do it in phases. As far as getting them in.
Speaker 2: We can't let all four hundred and fifty thousand in
Speaker 2: at the same time right We don't have the infrastructure
Speaker 2: for it, so some people are going to have to wait.
Speaker 2: And we need a better vetting process. We don't want
Speaker 2: to let the you know, the drug dealers in, et cetera,
Speaker 2: et cetera. We need we need more judges that they're
Speaker 2: either at the border or something. We need somebody to
Speaker 2: We did a better system and we contact the CAN.
Speaker 2: So Biden is being held responsible even though this is
Speaker 2: something that's gone on for the past sixty plus years.
Speaker 2: He needs to pick up the torch and kind of
Speaker 2: run with it, just like Obama did with healthcare. It
Speaker 2: wasn't what Obama would have wanted the ACA. It was
Speaker 2: the best that he could get past, and I think
Speaker 2: that Biden needs to do the same. It's not going
Speaker 2: to be a perfect immigration process. But he's got to
Speaker 2: do something because this.
Speaker 3: Is nuts and it's so scary about me. I felt,
Speaker 3: I'm looking at these people climbing through the razor wire
Speaker 3: and they use they have a system with the carboy,
Speaker 3: and they put the kids in the cardboard, and it's
Speaker 3: so scared and they still may get it cut here
Speaker 3: or there, but nothing like they would get if they
Speaker 3: don't have the cardboard. And then they're being robbed and
Speaker 3: they're being raped enraped to get to the board. So
Speaker 3: they go through so much just to get to the boy.
Speaker 2: Oh, by their own people, by their own people. You know,
Speaker 2: it's not yeah, but they are their own people in
Speaker 2: these coyotes that are that are you know, taking the
Speaker 2: last few dollars that they have. It's it's not a system,
Speaker 2: it's not a way of life. They shouldn't be trying
Speaker 2: to wade across the Rio Grande. Would my people have
Speaker 2: done the same thing if that was the way, Yes,
Speaker 2: I mean mine came. Mine waited for their number. My
Speaker 2: grandfather waited for his number, and he can't came the
Speaker 2: right way, but you know they didn't. You know, it's
Speaker 2: it's a miserable system. I can't say what's going on
Speaker 2: in all of you know, the South American countries that
Speaker 2: they're all trying to escape. But a lot of people
Speaker 2: think they're just coming from Mexico. They're not. They're coming
Speaker 2: all the way up geez. They're even flowing through Haiti,
Speaker 2: coming through our southern borders. It's crazy that the places
Speaker 2: that they're coming. But we need, we need a better system.
Speaker 2: We need to up our numbers. We certainly have a
Speaker 2: gazillion jobs here in the United States right now that
Speaker 2: nobody wants. We need to start filling those I've never.
Speaker 3: Thought you would have thought there were the Republicans would
Speaker 3: have came up with a system. All they had to
Speaker 3: do was have them come across the border if they
Speaker 3: was a voting age, make them signa pivotus that they
Speaker 3: was actually Republican, and make them all all Republicans. I
Speaker 3: will win by a landslide because there's so many of them.
Speaker 3: But y'all too stupid, y'all too angry, So y'all not
Speaker 3: doing this.
Speaker 2: Don't be don't be talented. That idea for the next
Speaker 2: next thing. We know they'll all be getting a rubber stamp.
Speaker 2: But you think, right, you would think that there'd be
Speaker 2: some They certainly want jobs certain certain jobs filled. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know about you. I've never had less customer
Speaker 2: service in my entire life. Even on big companies. You
Speaker 2: can't get anyone to pick up the phone, and you
Speaker 2: can't get it to be any answer, you know.
Speaker 3: And so when you do give one that's pleasant, I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna even stay just happy with their job. Just
Speaker 3: it's like a breath of fresh air. It's like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, please, can you be my customer service everything
Speaker 3: that I do?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: Speaking of specials, Special counsel Jacksmith has pushed back on
Speaker 3: Trump's claim that he should be quoked with absolute immunity
Speaker 3: from criminal prosecution, arguing in the New Family that the
Speaker 3: sweeping ascitation threats to licensed presidents to commit crimes to
Speaker 3: remain in office. Arguments before us the Peice Court are
Speaker 3: scheduling for my son's birthday, which is January the ninth.
Speaker 3: I have a twenty one year old. He's trying to
Speaker 3: get out of there. He knows what he did. He's
Speaker 3: trying to get out of there. Part of me believes
Speaker 3: that that's the only reason he really wants to be president,
Speaker 3: because he can make that go away.
Speaker 2: I think I think there's a multitude of things. I
Speaker 2: think that I think that's it if you believe conspiracy
Speaker 2: type of people. I think that he gets certain monies
Speaker 2: while he's running that he can divert to his to
Speaker 2: his legal counsel. Because even a gazillionaire, if he was one,
Speaker 2: but it turns out he's not, you couldn't afford all this,
Speaker 2: you know, all this money that's going out for legal fees.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I think there's a whole host of things, and I
Speaker 2: think I think he's got the big hand flame. I
Speaker 2: think he likes the idea of being in charge and
Speaker 2: being a dictator, and all he does is surround himself
Speaker 2: with people that blow smoke up is butt, so he thinks.
Speaker 3: He can do it. I wonder does it come out
Speaker 3: orange the smoke.
Speaker 2: It probably comes out like like orange dust.
Speaker 3: Like orange McDonald's, like Burger King.
Speaker 2: That's like cheeto dust, you know, the stuff that you
Speaker 2: get stuck on your on your fingers. And Massachusetts, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we get we call him Jacks. They used to be,
Speaker 2: but Cheetos are better than Jack's.
Speaker 3: I am not pleased with a whole lot of nothing
Speaker 3: on both fasts. Honestly, Bobby Clifford, but I am still
Speaker 3: going to vote what I think is the fairest for
Speaker 3: me for me. Yeah and uh yep, he oh yeah.
Speaker 3: I think he's still doing the job. I think he's qualified.
Speaker 3: And if we were living in the Asian world, in
Speaker 3: the Asian culture, they honored their elderly, they uplift, they
Speaker 3: learn from and respect the elderly. I don't know, we
Speaker 3: just don't do that anymore here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, we're not. If he wasn't doing the job,
Speaker 2: he just so we also have to remember, and people
Speaker 2: don't want to remember because we don't like anybody that's
Speaker 2: not perfect either. He does have a speech impediment, so
Speaker 2: when he was younger, he could flip and move on
Speaker 2: a dime. And he is getting older, so he has
Speaker 2: to think about everything that comes out of his mouth
Speaker 2: a little slower, so and he does flow up a
Speaker 2: little bit on his words. But Jesus mind is always active.
Speaker 2: He's got a sense of humor, like he's like nobody's business.
Speaker 2: So you know, when he's given you the business and
Speaker 2: can come up with a one liner, I always love that.
Speaker 2: So I think he's doing when the minute doesn't do
Speaker 2: the job. What I feel that he's doing the job.
Speaker 2: He's doing it to my satisfaction. But a lot of
Speaker 2: people aren't getting the stuff that they want. But he's
Speaker 2: being shot down. It's not that he's not trying, he
Speaker 2: just can't seem to push it across. Miserable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so much again, like that, so much is
Speaker 3: happening on his watch, so it makes him, Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: even though it would have happened on whoever's who I'll
Speaker 3: keep forgetting that it would have happened to whoever was
Speaker 3: in that seat at this time. But because if he
Speaker 3: is on his watch and they try to make it
Speaker 3: look very bad on his end, he's one man that's
Speaker 3: trying to run so many things. And you'll got to
Speaker 3: remember one more time. He is still mending fences that
Speaker 3: somebody else put a whole lot of hosing. And good god,
Speaker 3: and I'm not so much power.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's only got so much power too. People think
Speaker 2: it's all on the president. The president can come up
Speaker 2: with the ideas and they can veto in the end
Speaker 2: certain things, but it still has to go through Congress
Speaker 2: and then it has to go through the Senate. So
Speaker 2: if you have groups that aren't willing to work together,
Speaker 2: which both of our systems. We should be voting all
Speaker 2: a lot of people out this this next election, because
Speaker 2: these people are not the who represented, are not working
Speaker 2: for us like they should be, not all of them especially.
Speaker 2: I see more of it on the GOP side, but
Speaker 2: once in a while I'll see somebody on the Democratic
Speaker 2: side that I think, you know, you got to play ball.
Speaker 2: It's not always about winning, it's winning for the people.
Speaker 2: What's best for the people. What's the best thing that
Speaker 2: you can pull across the line. It might not be
Speaker 2: exactly what you want, but you got to compromise. We
Speaker 2: learned that in kindergarten, didn't we.
Speaker 3: I kindergarten was very different from there. There's online.
Speaker 2: That was a good one.
Speaker 3: Listen to me, y'all. I don't know whether you be
Speaker 3: Democrat or Republican or whatever you think you are. And
Speaker 3: I understand that y'all want this third party with the independence.
Speaker 3: I get it. I would like to see that come
Speaker 3: to fruition sometimes film too, but it won't happen this year.
Speaker 3: Not letting the vote is going to destroy this country.
Speaker 3: Find a candidate, whether it is the Democratic or Republican,
Speaker 3: that you think that you can tolerate for the next
Speaker 3: four years, and one of them say it won't be
Speaker 3: four years, said to be forever. I'm not gonna say
Speaker 3: his name, but he's orange. But find the candidates that
Speaker 3: you think that you can tolerate and live through the
Speaker 3: next four years, and that's the one you vote for.
Speaker 3: I'm not telling you which way to go, but independent
Speaker 3: ain't gonna get it. I like some of the independent
Speaker 3: candidates too, but they don't have a snowball's chance in Hill.
Speaker 3: And it's just a waste of time right now. I'm
Speaker 3: not saying that we won't get a third party system
Speaker 3: one day, but we sure not gonna get it this year.
Speaker 3: You surely not gonna get it now. We're gonna divas
Speaker 3: the boat and mess up the country. Save our country,
Speaker 3: please save even.
Speaker 2: In four years flame, I gotta say, I I just
Speaker 2: don't see the I don't even see for twenty twenty
Speaker 2: eight us being able to get a third party up
Speaker 2: and running. And people have to pay attention, pay attention
Speaker 2: to your congressman and your senators, like we were just
Speaker 2: talking about that they're gonna work for you, and what
Speaker 2: their history is. I mean, look at Bob Menendez, He's
Speaker 2: a Democrat. He's a hot, stinking mess. He's getting new
Speaker 2: indictments that are out. So let's try to get people
Speaker 2: that are honest. They're not working for themselves and how
Speaker 2: they can line their pockets. They're actually working for what
Speaker 2: your ideology is, what you want to see in your area.
Speaker 2: Pay attention, read read their bios, because it is, it is,
Speaker 2: it's freaking. It's scary, this whole it's all scary. I
Speaker 2: still can't believe that Trump is he's pulling pulls a relative,
Speaker 2: but he's pulling higher than Biden right now. Ninety one
Speaker 2: felony counts.
Speaker 3: And as far as my people go, black people were
Speaker 3: the ones that I see is talking about bite not
Speaker 3: doing nothing. So we go vothe with Trump. It's not
Speaker 3: that I don't get what you're saying, but you lost
Speaker 3: me with your reasoning. Because you're angry with this man.
Speaker 3: You're letting your emotion control your decision that will change
Speaker 3: and affect the rest of your life. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 3: you what, don't let your emotion. That emotion is a
Speaker 3: powerful drug. That emotion is going to destroy you. You
Speaker 3: better be tolerable and you better sit back and remember
Speaker 3: that this is his first term, and he's doing the
Speaker 3: job that none of us will do. But you want
Speaker 3: to go back to something that you know is going
Speaker 3: to destroy you. Some of y'all just don't I won't
Speaker 3: say that. Let me just say it outloud. Some of
Speaker 3: y'all stupid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think some of us are lazy, is
Speaker 2: what I really think it is. And we don't want
Speaker 2: to do the work because it's but I don't want people. Please,
Speaker 2: I want you to vote. Don't not do the work.
Speaker 2: You know, don't not vote because you don't want to
Speaker 2: do the work. But open your mouth. It doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be hard when you do a little research.
Speaker 3: You do that. That was so aggressive. Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: Talk to your friends. And I don't know about at
Speaker 2: least in my area, I think they do it across
Speaker 2: the country. Probably three months before the election, they send
Speaker 2: out these nifty little books that let you know about
Speaker 2: laws in your area and the people who are that
Speaker 2: you need to vote for in your area, as well
Speaker 2: as you know people held in higher office as well.
Speaker 2: Read that little book. It's like it's like the spark
Speaker 2: notes when we were kids, When you were in high
Speaker 2: school and you had to write something you.
Speaker 3: Just said, they don't read you had they need to
Speaker 3: send those out in clickbait. That's the only thing that
Speaker 3: people see is clickbait.
Speaker 2: That you're probably right, But you know what, flame because
Speaker 2: I just read the book, I'm kind of old school.
Speaker 2: They probably have it. You probably could go on to like,
Speaker 2: you know something dot gov and they'd have all the
Speaker 2: selections there. So if you figure it out, if you're
Speaker 2: hearing this, let us know because we'll we'll say it
Speaker 2: on the next episode.
Speaker 3: It's all clickbait, clickbait. What was I going to tell you?
