WEBVTT - You're Going To Have To Deal With It

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey, welcome to this week's episode of Left and Learned.

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I am your host, Flaming Bro, and we just celebrated

0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:11.559
<v Speaker 1>Christmas twenty twenty four and I couldn't have done alone

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>without my partner, Miss Bobby Cliff. And how are you

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>doing to?

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing all right. I can't believe that just two

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 2>short days we're going to be in the whole new

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:22.319
<v Speaker 2>year and this is gonna be. I could feel it

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 2>in my bones. It's gonna be our year.

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Flaming girl, that ain't no feeling. That's games. Then you'll

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>not get off.

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Or rum chod Athrit is one of the other ones.

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Ooh that is That is Republicanism. Ooh yeah, we.

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Are manifesting, manifesting.

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>How was your Christmas, Bobby?

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 2>You want it was? It was really nice. It was

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>super quiet. It was just me and the ladies. And

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, sometimes I used to love the all the

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 2>hubby we used to have. Big Momma was one of

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 2>eleven kids. We used to have huge family functions and

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.319
<v Speaker 2>I and I some days I mourn because they got

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>too big that every one of her blieves that they

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 2>have to have their own. But I kind of liked it.

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 2>This year we stayed in our pajamas. It was really quiet.

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 2>I liked it. I needed I think I needed the rest.

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>And how about you?

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.119
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was not even for when we were together,

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>we said and prayed together. I don't I at necessarily

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>say we ate together, but we prayed together as the family,

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>and so it was uneven for quiet, and I was.

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I was grateful forward, honey, and my secret Santa showed

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>up this year and was very nice to me. Y'all know,

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>my super standard. But I don't kill y'all. Yeah, and

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>uh so, and tomorrow is New Year's g well, New

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Year's eve e, because you know, tomorrow's New Year's.

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Eve bro, Tomorrow, today is the easy you And what

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 2>are you doing? You're very busy? Correct?

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I got a lot going on him. My

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>mom would say I had a drag seal. But y'all know,

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>today is the anniversary of me being acostic thirty five

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>years ago.

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine?

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I talk about that all the time, that

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I was just in a bad place mentally of heart

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>over love and was off my game and two young

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>white boys snatched me up. And uh and to be

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.799
<v Speaker 1>honest by me, I probably would have died that night,

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>had I And I'm not gonna say that I fought back,

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>but I fought for my life. I didn't fight necessary

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>because I had no win. I had no win. Maybe

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>that white boy hit me. Let me tell you, I

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>can laugh about it now. But because I had been drinking.

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a drinker, but I was going through some

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>love stuff. So I had two cocktails. I think I

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>was toe up so and the when the white boy

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>hit me, he hit me so hard that I think

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>it dazed me. And it sobered me up immediately, and

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I realized.

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Adrenal went at that. Yeah, if you're not too far gone,

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>and two drinks wouldn't. I mean, I'm not great on

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>two drinks myself because we don't drink, but I think

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>the adrenaline probably you know, came in and then you

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 2>get the fight or flight, right, so it's sober.

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 1>It sobered me up to whew. I understood the severity

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>of the situation I was in. So I kicked and

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>rolled out the car because when I saw the knife,

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>because they had a huge knife, when it was smooth

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>on one side and serrated on the other side, Oh, they

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>were going to get me. And this was eighty nine,

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>eighty eight, eighty nine, eighty nine, so nine. Yeah, you know,

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>we were very much unseen as trans people. It would

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>have been some man in address was killed you if

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it would have even made the news. And that's just

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the truth of what life is. Unfortunately, with the way

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the new with the way the new regime coming in,

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>we might go back to those kind of situations. I'm

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>sad to say that.

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, he was Trump. President Trump was at an event.

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to not be able to find it because

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have it up like ready. And he was

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 2>saying he was going to get rid of, you know,

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the lunacy that is transgender and he's going to take

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 2>them out of schools, and he's going to take them

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>out of grammar schools, middle schools, and high schools as

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>anybody in grammar or middle I mean, it's so stupid this.

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I doubt there's any little kids that are quoting at

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 2>five years old at they're transgender.

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, well hold on, Bobby pushed back on this side

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>from a transgender woman. A lot some of these some

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 1>of these kids will just say it one time and

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the parents will roll with it. I don't agree with

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>that because as a parent now as a transparent, I'm

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>speaking as a parent now, who is the parent? Who

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>is the parent? Because I understand that you let little

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.919
<v Speaker 1>Bobby and little Sally, little Jack and little Jill, you know,

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>say this or say that, but they still have to

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.679
<v Speaker 1>be guided. And I'm telling you that that's not in them.

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 1>But explain that to me. Put down your phone or

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>your computer, whatever book you read that on what and

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 1>explain that. And if you can explain that to me,

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 1>we can go further from there. But if you cannot,

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>which most of the times they cannot, Yeah, baby, squash

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.280
<v Speaker 1>that shit and that And that's just how I feel.

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think. I think they're just too little

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 2>to understand it. I mean it's so hard for people

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 2>that are older to completely understand it. So I think

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>it they might feel a little different, or they could

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>just be a tomboy, or they could just be a feminine,

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.239
<v Speaker 2>feminine boy. You know, does it mean that.

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna when you say that, getting older,

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna really need you older people to keep up, Bobby.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm really going to need you older people to keep

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>up with our generation. Thank you everybody.

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 2>He was that I found it. He was at America Fast,

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>which is a young conservative group that's in Arizona. Yeah,

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 2>and he said that by executive order he's going to

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 2>end child mutilations, get get get the transgenders out of

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the military, and get them out of the elementary, middle

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 2>and high schools. But it's not new, I.

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Mean, and so much of that Bobby, as a trans

0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>woman in this country bothers me because it's like we're

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>going all the way back to the fifties. We have

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>so many things, so many luxuries afforded to us, from

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>name changing to FFS which is social feminization surgery, to

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>SRS which is sexual reassignment surgery, to working jobs, to

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>having health care, to marriage equality, so many and because

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>it was a different generation that wanted more and more

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 1>more than enough, was never enough. And I'm not saying

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 1>that we don't look for change, but there's a certain

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>way that you have to go about doing it. If

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you force it, you know it's scarce people. But if

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>you work with people hand in hand and say hey,

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>we can do this better if we work together and

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 1>let us try it this way. I just believe that's

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 1>not pandering, but that is I'm gonna work with you.

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I just need you to work with me. But a

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of people don't get that. And Bobby, it looks

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>like now they want to take away every right that

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>we had. This shouldn't about to get very scary, it is.

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what you should have failed more than anything,

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 2>is just safe, safe to be yourself before. And I

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it'll be any different, but you're not

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be just naturally afforded all of that what

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:10.679
<v Speaker 2>you're doing in this administration, at least that's what he's saying.

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>But we'll see. I mean, he's got a congresswoman that

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 2>is trans and he certainly has a very big LGBT

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 2>group with in between Congress and the Senate. So we'll see.

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll see what actually happens.

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Listen from from from from allegedly from what we've been

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>seeing on the news, he got one in the LGBT group.

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>He got an LGBT P group because a lot of

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the people that he would put on a point in

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>phenomenees and everything, a lot of them fall up under

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the P. If you don't know what the P is,

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you go to the doctor to get I mean, you

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 1>go to the nail Salon to get a manny petty

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of them looking very petty, and I

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>ain't talk about with a t ship.

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Good god, they are they're forget even that they're they're

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>they're in fighting. You know you've got.

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 1>The they're like babies, Oh my god, oh big babies.

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 2>He free. He came out Trump over the weekend and

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>said that he supports or understands the need for the

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>H one B visas. Those are the visas. A lot

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>of tech people get them, but there are somebody's coming

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>in for a certain amount of time. I think it's

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 2>three years, don't quote me. And you have to be

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 2>here for a specific job or whatnot. It's sort of

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 2>like the poor people who were eating the dogs and

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>eating the cats. They were all here for a specific

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.319
<v Speaker 2>reason to finish a specific job. So he made that

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 2>comment and Musk kind of jumped on it and said,

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like the uh, it's like the tech

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:48.320
<v Speaker 2>bros versus Mega, you know they He said, Mopsk that

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.319
<v Speaker 2>we need the best and the brightest, and the only

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 2>way we're going to do it is if we bring

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.559
<v Speaker 2>these people in. Well, Bannon and Lumer lost their bananas.

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 2>They don't want anybody. They don't care if they're here

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 2>for engineering jobs, they don't care. They want no no

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 2>immigration at all, which is not how you can run

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 2>an economy. We needed you.

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>There was so funny about the immigration love. They are

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>led in. Two immigrants, Ramas Swambi and uh Mus tell

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:15.559
<v Speaker 1>them what to do.

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah alone.

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>That name alone is immigration immigration. Yeah they immigrated that name.

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>That name may that name maybe an American? Maybe that

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>name was immigrated. Let's just be honest about it.

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's only he's only the first generation. So usually

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 2>when your first generation, you're you're very respectful and you

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 2>like the process and you feel lucky and blessed. And yeah,

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't see that from him. That's not his personality though. Ramaswamy,

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 2>he's he doesn't. He doesn't like the boots of anybody

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 2>other than Donald Trump and John Junior. Is there's something

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 2>this weekend saying that Dems aren't the only people who

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>are our enemies. It's the vast majority of the Republicans too,

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, if the Republicans and the Democrats, who's left.

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I saw that Bobby, I saw him speak about that too,

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>But I do know there is a lot of infighting.

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>And if it was a Democratic party, and here's the

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 1>here's the part that blows me with the Democratic Party,

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.239
<v Speaker 1>with the weakness of my party, which is the Democratic Party,

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.719
<v Speaker 1>if it was us right now, they would have it.

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>They would be a field there on the media talking about,

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, they're fighting like you. But because it's

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the Republicans and the Trump regime, it's barely it's barely

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>spoken about on the on the main media circus. It's

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>spoken about on social media, but on the main media

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:51.079
<v Speaker 1>focus not at all. It is it is. It is wild,

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what it is.

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 2>It's wild, Bobby, It's it's crazy. It's really crazy. But yeah,

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Bannon was calling Mosca toddler, and you have to have

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 2>like child Services coming in, like, oh my god. This

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 2>was worse than when they were pushing for Biden out

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 2>and that if I thought that was so miserable, this is, uh,

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 2>this is just as miserable.

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Too funny, But I mean, when those two bulls lack horns, though,

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 3>when those two rams hit heads musket Trump, that is

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 3>going to be something because Musk may have that financial power,

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 3>but Trump gonna still remind him that I'm the president.

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I blame. I totally agree. I think it's going

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:43.959
<v Speaker 2>to I don't think it'll make it a year before

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be some sort of fuff. I think

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 2>it's kinna. I think it's going to be ugly, which

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 2>is not going to be good for the for the country.

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 2>But you know what we say, you know they fucked around.

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Now they're going to find out.

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:05.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be a I do want to

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>be a party to find out. I was trying to

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 1>win at one point two billion dollars, as somebody one

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the other day, but unfortunately I had never even heard

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>of Cottonwood, California, speaking of cottonwood, speaking of cotton that's

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>just we want to give a moment of silence till

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>our beloved President, thirty ninth president. He finally made it

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to one hundred and was able to make history by

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>voting for the Well, well, no, because she's not the

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 1>first female, but she's the first.

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 2>We were, yeah, we were hoping that she'd actually she'd

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:36.959
<v Speaker 2>actually get in.

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>He was actually he actually Harris, Yeah, James Earl Carter,

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Carter, j Earl. That's a country named Jimmy or

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll betually They called him Jimmy Earl when he was young.

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 2>James Jones this year too, to James Earls, to Jimmy

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Arrow back then.

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, uh, thirty ninth president. And you know what, Bobby,

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.959
<v Speaker 1>he's married to his wife, Roslynd Carter, who he lost

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe a year and a half ago. I didn't, to

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>be honest, I didn't expect Jimmy Carter to live this long.

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I love that he made it to one hundred, because

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 1>poor Betty White almost made it. But I knew that

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>because they had been married for so long. And they

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 1>always say that people who had been married for such

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 1>a long time and been in love. While I've been

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.200
<v Speaker 1>married through ups and downs, they one is usually not

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>here much longer when the other one leaves. And so

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.960
<v Speaker 1>he made it more way longer than I thought he would, honestly,

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>and he.

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Really put his He showed us that your life was

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.080
<v Speaker 2>not just necessarily the presidency because he was only in

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 2>for four years. He came in at the very beginning

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 2>of our Middle East problem with the hostage crisis. He

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 2>took a chance, he gambling. The gamble for him did

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 2>not work. He was in from seventy seven to eighty one.

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>He was like the first president I can actually remember,

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, like I remember having to shot our Remember Jery,

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 2>the oil embargo shut our sermon says down sixty five

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 2>during the day, fifty five at night. And remember the

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.439
<v Speaker 2>during the crime the hostage crisis, the gas lines were

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 2>like around the block and you only got like so

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 2>many gallons, you know, because of course we weren't getting

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 2>any of the Middle Eastern oil, so you know, we

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 2>had to be we had to be really prudent with it.

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 1>But he was. He was an environmental Yeah, I'm loving

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the story about me. I got to interrupt. You live

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>in Boston, y'all had fifty five in Boston at night,

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>y'all real white people, y'all white people for real? Cold.

0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I actually do it because I would have a hot

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 2>flash when I sleep at night. You know. When I

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 2>was a kid, we just had an extra blanket. My

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 2>mother just put an extra blanket because we were trying

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 2>to do the presidential thing. That's how we got every day,

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 2>and my parents would not like to complain about it.

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Y'all, y'all white people, for real. I just wanted to

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>make sure you realized, although you might have forgotten.

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 4>Do you want to know that Boston in the seventies, girl, No,

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 4>that were now because this global woman, it's probably ninety

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 4>degrees over there.

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 1>But in the seventies, no.

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Man, he said, oh my god, it was yeah, it

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 2>was called. Well, I'm not gonna lie to you. We

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 2>wore a lot of I think we had a turtleneck

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 2>on from like October until April, you know, like we

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 2>had a turtle neck and a sweater. And you wore

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 2>a little sweater, and and we all my mother Soda

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>saw all these pretty blankets and you just put them

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 2>on while you watch TV. We all cozy. He was

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 2>ahead of his time with environmentalism. He had solar panels

0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 2>on the White House. Of course, Reagan ripped them off

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the that he got in, But he was trying anyway

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 2>to to have us be more self sustaining and not

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 2>rely on the Middle East oil and all of that.

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 2>So God bless them. The nine says the state funeral,

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>his body will be flown to Washington. They said something

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>about putting him on a truck and not a truck truck,

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 2>a train, like making it old fashioned, you know, you know,

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 2>like FDR they would chase in the train. He said,

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 2>I will haunt you all until a day after you die.

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.640
<v Speaker 2>If you put me on a train and direct my

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 2>body all over the country, he says, I want to

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 2>fly in and fly out, and so that's what he's getting.

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden is going to do eulogy. Joe Biden actually

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 2>was one of the first to back them. He just

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 2>got into the Senate, so they were kind of close.

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought this was super interesting. His grandson, Jason Carter,

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 2>we saw him at Rossland's Ross Lens and he did

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 2>a great job. He's going to do eulogy. And then

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Gerald Ford and Walter Mondale both wrote while they were

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.160
<v Speaker 2>alive eulogies for Jimmy Carter, and their sons are going

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 2>to read them.

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that interesting? You know Joe Ford and me had

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the same birthday. Really yeah, birthday. He was triple sevens.

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.200
<v Speaker 1>They say he was lucky not calling to the president.

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.880
<v Speaker 1>His name was lucky. What was I about to say

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 1>with my crazy behalf? You know what I've been loving

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 1>about Jimmy Carter is now you know, after the president dies,

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 1>they go and talk about his history in Wouisble. They

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 1>always call him the peanut farm or whatever. As the president,

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 1>but now they have made such beautiful stories. And I

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>did know so many accomplishments, accomplishments that he had acquired

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.159
<v Speaker 1>while he was the president, because they never talked about that.

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>They only talk about the negative. So I love the

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 1>fact that I love the love story of his life

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:49.399
<v Speaker 1>with his wife. You know outside she was yeah, she

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.159
<v Speaker 1>was a she was a grand first lady, and but

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I love the partnership of that. It just it reminded

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 1>me of why we do love our country, even though

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.119
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it look like our country is going straight to you.

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I say it straight, do that paths go through not

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I collect two hundred dollars. Good God. But it was

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful story and has been really reporting beautiful on him.

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:12.959
<v Speaker 2>They did one of the most interesting and I'm going

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 2>to get her name. Her first name is Mary. There

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.800
<v Speaker 2>was a woman, she was a black woman that was

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 2>falsely accused of murder, and he and his wife really

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 2>believed in racial injustice and trying to fix things. They

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.399
<v Speaker 2>got things somehow turned around, Like this woman met her

0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 2>attorney the day she was going into court like it

0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.640
<v Speaker 2>was a hot mess. But he didn't just talk the talk,

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.640
<v Speaker 2>flame he walked the walk. He hired her to take

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 2>care of his daughter Amy and brought her to the

0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 2>White House to be her nanny. Even there, and she

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 2>is still alive, and she is still very close with

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.400
<v Speaker 2>the family all along, and I thought, wow, that is

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.719
<v Speaker 2>and that was all quiet. Of course the reporter had

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:56.960
<v Speaker 2>to dig in and find that out. They were trying

0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:58.919
<v Speaker 2>to twist it and make something awful of it, like

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 2>he's got a murder up in the White House, and

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>that when everybody heard the story, it kind of turned

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 2>around on them. So I thought, these are these were

0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 2>good as salt of the earth people, you know. So

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 2>so we'll have to look forward to their to the

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:13.880
<v Speaker 2>state funeral on the nice.

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:20.639
<v Speaker 1>So as we come to the end up twenty twenty four, Bobby,

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 1>it is we've lost so many people this year. We

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>lost so many great people this year, Bobby. We lost

0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of great people in twenty twenty four. Min

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four. I know we still got tomorrow.

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you certainly do. I I was looking up. I

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 2>was going to try to make the list so we

0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.399
<v Speaker 2>could do it. I couldn't get past September. We lost

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.399
<v Speaker 2>on the same day as Jimmy. We lost Linda Lavin,

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 2>who I loved She was a big Broadway babe as

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 2>well as Alice.

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.800
<v Speaker 1>She did you know girl in town? Yeah, and I

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the lady girl. I used to love that.

0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:56.919
<v Speaker 2>Kiss your grants. I used to love when the one

0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.560
<v Speaker 2>flow used to say that and now and all that.

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was a great show. She did something

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 2>more recently with Sean Hayes and she was the bomb,

0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 2>and I thought that was terrific too. She still was

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.239
<v Speaker 2>quick and she had to be eighty, you know, doing it.

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:16.439
<v Speaker 2>So we lost her. We lost Greg Gumble, Nicki Giovanni,

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Chuck Willery, Quincy Jones, Terry Garr, Liam Payne, Sissy Houston,

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Pete Rose, Chris Christofferson, James Earl Jones. And then I went,

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.920
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I caught Maggie Smith. I'm like, I can't,

0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 2>I can't write any more down. That was only like

0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:33.879
<v Speaker 2>I only went back two or three months. We lost

0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:37.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of greats this year. Yeah, which you know,

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:43.040

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Uh. You mentioned somebody I have so much respect for.

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 1>She never got her gest us because you know they

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.479
<v Speaker 1>put bear stuff about her, which is Nicki Giovanni, great poet,

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>great activists, great thought felt, provoking person because she would

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 1>make you think of who you were and why you

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 1>were and understand, you know you are, this is who

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you are, because this is what the universe created you

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to be. Oh. I used to love to hear her speak.

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know, she had came out about Bill Cosby

0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 1>in the seventies and they just went after that woman

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:16.439
<v Speaker 1>so bad, destroy her career. Come to find out a

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.359
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff that she said was allegedly true. But yeah,

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:23.520

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.000
<v Speaker 1>story about her. You know, they broke her, Bobby, they
