Speaker 4 (01:40):
Welcome, Welcome to this week's episode of Laugh and Learn.
Oh my god, it was the DNC this week, and
I'm gonna give y'all all that I know, all that
I saw and I experienced it on the final night.
But before I move any further, you know I cannot
keep doing this show out my beautiful co hosts, the
one and only, the the Icons Touts. Y'all like to know.

(02:03):
So Bobby Clifford, Hi you Bobby.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Hiat TUTS but how's it going. I can't wait to
hear all the stories. I'm like beside myself, Oh.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Yeah, we're gonna get to that. How was your week,
Bribby Clifford.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
It was good. We had a in Boston. It was
a little bit cooler, so it was like, you can
feel like fall's gonna start coming the Christmas in the evenings. Crisp.
It's like sixty eight, but it's not ninety eight, so
I kind of liked it. It's nice, got out, moved
a little bit.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, I'm in Chicago. Bobby whether he has been pretty
good too. The city was locked up tighter than a
brand new baby's ass. Good guy. They had swat teams, sheriffs,
pole hella chopters. Right, maybe they had oh you know,
if they had Bobby. They had the AI dogs. What

(02:51):
was that like, I've seen two of them, like the
little robots.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
I was like, oh my god. It really let me
know how how really quickly they are moving this artificial intelligence.
They are pushing it fast.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
There are things that are good about it. I mean
there really are things like, for instance, I work in
a hospital, right, so they can do medical records and stuff.
By doing that instead. But other parts scare me. I'm
dying to hear about.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
The dogs, so, you know, looking at them and only
seeing two And then when I got in the car,
I realized, one day there'll be two million of those dogs.
They might even replace police officers. So I just was like,
oh my god. It just let me know where we're headed.
But for my first time seeing something like that, it

(03:39):
was amazing. I was like, oh my god, I want one.
They're so cute. But I don't know. It's still a machine.
It still does not have a real brain. It doesn't
have a unless you tell it no, oh yes. What
happens when it gets undecided and it does what it
wants to do and those things look, I'm sure they
made those things to be beyond vicious. I don't want

(03:59):
to say what beyond vicious. Let's say that.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
I would say too. I'm hoping that on the other
end of that, like literally watching every move is a
police officer who just happens to be sitting behind a
desk somewhere and not necessarily out on the road. I mean,
there were some big things that were happening. I know,
we'll get into the actual meet of the DNC after
But you had all those protests going outside, the pro
the pro Palestinian protests.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
But remember I told you'll last week, last episode before
the DNC that the Chicago Police Department did not say
it plays no gangs, no Chicago plase games. Chicago Police
Department did not play with them at all. I beg
that I'm from Chicago, I know the police.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Hee you no, And I loved it because they were like,
not the the I feel terrible for what's happening. We
all do what's happening in Palestine. But they're they're overly
emotional or something. I don't know what, and I think
they thought they were going to push them around. Well,
the Chicago PG let them know no, ma'am, g BD.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Don't play no games. Maybe I'm from here, I know
how they do. But luckily nobody got hurt. They did
have some arrests maybe over the.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Course of seventy seventy two one night, and two injuries,
but that didn't sound bad to me.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well, they knocked over they knocked over one of the barricades,
they bombarded through one of the best yes, and that
is when the injuries happened. But everything was peaceful. After that,
they still had the summer peaceful protests and a few arrests.
But outside of that that negative the positive we will
get you later because I'm gonna tell y'all because I
actually went Final night to the DNC to watch Kamala

(05:37):
Harris except the Democratic nomination, I can't tell y'all. I'm
gonna tell y'all went about it later. But we ask
some other stuff to get into before we go any further.
We want to send us super prayers out to our producers,
to producer Aaron Howard, his family stuff for the loss
this week, and we love Aaron. Aaron Keyser sharp. Aaron
keeps us informed. You guys don't get to hear Aaron's voice,

(05:59):
but Aaron is like granddaddy on a reprimanded us and
him and Bobby's relationship, if y'all can hear it all,
Lane is the cutest and I just sit back like
if they don't sht the hell up. But they have
accused relationships. So prayers to our producer Aaron Howe and
his family on their loves. Anyway, where are we going
to it?

Speaker 3 (06:19):
So when we're talking about super sad stuff, I know
you loved him so I want to make make sure
we mentioned him. Phil Donahue died eighty eight. Died in
his home.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
My muse, my mentor, my absolute favorite talk show hosts ever, Okay, I'm.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Sorry he didn't. No, No, I think it's lovely. I mean,
he had a show that ran for twenty six years,
over seven thousand episodes. He won twenty Emmy Awards. He
broke crown for Heraldo Rivera, Oprah Winfrey, Jerry Springer, Rosie
O'donnald like you could just name it, on and on
and on doing it, making sure that he tapped into

(06:56):
those those housewives that were stuck at home with their kids,
that still had something to ask for, something to say,
something to learn and give. And I thought that he's
pretty pretty terrific. Our President and President Joe Biden gave
him the Medal of Freedom Award last year. He was
in a wheelchair, but he looked good. I guess he's
been battling some illness for a while. Now I feel badly,

(07:18):
but hats off to Phil and Phil's family. He was
married tomorrow Thomas forty four years.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Wow. Yeah, So let me tell you mom's fondest memories
of Phil Donahue as a kid wants to him, I
would love how fair he was to everybody, even if
he did not like what you stood for, even if
he did not.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Like the KKK was on his show and he had
all these he was fair to everybody because he did
not judge you on your how you felt about something else.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
He judged the energy that you gave him right then
and there. And I used to love to watch and
run up and down those stats. He would run to
take a microphone. He was always so respectful. He sings
like a kind man, and he was so authentic with
his answers, and he was never offensive even when being intrusive.
That's what I loved about him. He was never offensive

(08:14):
even when he had to cross the line on the
questions that he was so skilled at how to ask
you a really detrimental question because of his there was
some kind of kindness in his voice. Was never he
never raised it. He was just an amazing person to
watch if you want to do talk show, because the
lessons that you would learn from just watching his style

(08:35):
and his poise and his grace, you will be now.
Mind you, as much as I watch them, y'all know,
I'm still an ignorant bitch. But when it's time. If
you ever see me laugh, you'll see when it's time
for Q and A. I can take anything and everything.
I make it funny because I'm a comedian. But I
listened to you, and that's what I respected about Phil
down to Hue. He didn't just talk over you or

(08:56):
give his opinion. He listened to everything that you said
to him.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
He did, and I agree like when he did have
the he had your skinheads or the KKK on and
what he tried to do was he tried to educate
them and tell them everybody else's stance and how they're wrong.
But he didn't say you're wrong, He just said so
he was trying to. I think he thought, if I
can flip one of them, you never know I can
get the other. And he was He had a very

(09:21):
gentle way. He wasn't excitable in a negative way where
he was bombastic and get upset. He just he went
and no matter what you said to him, he thought
about it. He was thoughtful, you know, to see I
can kind of see their point of view, or at
least I know where they're coming fight.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
And hear me, well, he could have had a class
on poker face, because I'm sure there were many times
that people see things that he was offended back, but
you never could read it on his face.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, I agree, I agree, so, but he was definitely
worth absolutely worth mentioning. So so that anyway, hats off
TI Phil Donahue. I think we want to save DNC
for lost we've had outd Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
That girl, if you all know him, that was that girl.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Oh my god, I loved her. She was so cute.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Look at me telling Bobby's ay that girl, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
She saw it to me, I loved her. That she was.
She was absolutely she was absolutely adorable and gorgeous. I
saw her in a Hallmark movie like two years ago.
I almost didn't know who she was. Shop is attacking,
you know, able to act and everything well up into
her eighties. But she's had a little a little too
much work done in Saint Jude. Remember that's that. Everybody

(10:36):
remember that that girl. Her her dad, Danny Thomas, started
Saint Jude. So and she's she's been the driving force
for that. So they were an impressive They were an
impressive couple. They really were.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
He was just he was such a he was such
a Powerhouse as a interviewer. And he and you know what,
he was one of the first to do many things
because I worked at the legendary Baton Show Club here
Chicago for years. Yes, and he put them, He was
the first person to put them on TV, to put
a humanistic up to put to show that they were people,

(11:11):
that they were human, They were just people working as
female impersonators. Yeah. So and he didn't. It was not
an exploitive way at all. Bill Donahue was a legend.
Pill Donahue was what you call an og.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
He was the goat.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
He was. He really was. So Yes, rest in power
to uh Bill Donahue one of the greatest, if not
the greatest, to ever do it. Okay, Boby, let's go
where we're going.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Well, what we're going now is we might as well
talk about the Supreme Court. After reviewing controversial law, the
Supreme Court ruled five to four that Arizona residents must
show proof of US citizenship before they can vote. This
is something obviously that Arizona is pushing. There is some
sort of documentation that you can show some citizen citizenship

(12:01):
or whatever documentation, but it's they're making a little harder
to vote in in in Arizona. So it's sort of
a they're saying it's a partial win for them for
the GOP. Uh. They're also right now they do something
called and I didn't know about this, let me know
if you knew. They're they're expected to resolve a few

(12:22):
cases that are on what they call the shadow docket.
I guess it is a name that they use for
emergency cases. The bad part of it is when they
have these emergency cases, they don't have to give their
full oral arguments. They can just give give a decision.
Two of the things that they're going to be looking
at is Biden's administration's the latest student loan debt relief plan,

(12:47):
whether they'll allow that to go through, and then rules
that limit power on planted power planted missions. You would
think they would be happy about that, but somehow, I guess,
I guess not so much.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
What is with the Supreme Court, Bobby, I'm gonna tell
you right now. The Supreme Court used to get my
personal opinion as an American and this is only my opinion.
The Supreme Court used to get so much respect for me,
just mad respective we were just yeah, yeah, And now
looking at what's going on with all the scandals that's

(13:24):
coming out and the things that they are doing that
they are not being reprimanded for because you are there
almost in a position to where they can't be reprimanded
for it. I lost all kind of respect for them.
I think that they need to throw the baby out
with the bath water. Started with Clarence Thomas. I can't
do it. It's just And the sad part is if
we can't support our highest court in the land, we

(13:46):
don't believe in them, how are we going to believe
in the lower courts? That's my opinions.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Well, I know, because all sorts of stuff. I mean,
this is really high because remember Arizona is one of
those battleground states, and if they're making it more difficult
for people to to vote, I mean, you should be
a citizen, or you should be at least we have the paperwork,
but if they're making it more difficult.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, Voter suppression is everywhere though, and they're doing it
really bad in the South, especially in Georgia. So you
have to go to vote dot org constantly to check
it takes less than two minutes to make sure that
you are registered to vote. It takes less than two minutes.
Vote dot org. Just continuously check because this is this

(14:27):
is a battle that we are in and they're playing
to win. They're playing to keep for keeps. And remember,
if they win, you never get the chance to vote again.
Because he said you don't have to.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
You don't have to only once.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
I'm going to fix it, is what he's.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Christians, Christians, don't don't worry. You will only want Well,
I'm a Christian and I'm worried. That's all. I'm just
letting you know.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
Oh yeah, but that voter suppression is real. So make
sure you stay on your p's and q's because they're
trying all that they can. Where else we're going, you're
talking about the Supreme Court. I don't know. I think
that I'm I hope that. I hope that if Kamala
Harris wins, and we're praying that she wins over here,
that they changed some policies with that Supreme Court. It

(15:08):
should be a lifetime appointment. If you get too extreme,
your job should be up a review. If the world
is changing, as they say, and everything is evolving, those
rules will have to evolve and change as well.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
I agree, because we've talked about it before. It was
a lifetime appointment because people weren't expected to live past sixty.
You know, when they made that lifetime appointment, they didn't
realize people would still be in their high eighties on there. So,
and it's grueling, it's grueling work. I think that there
definitely should I e to be term limits. There needs
to be some sort of reform. I know that President

(15:43):
Biden is looking to to put some type of parody
in place, some type of reform, but I don't know.
He's only a five months so I don't know what
he's going to actually be able to get done himself.
But so that's the Supreme Court. Those are the two
cases they're listening to. That is the one that they
just made the decision on. I also saw CNN had

(16:04):
reported that the Justice Department filed an anti trust Merrick
Ireland an anti trust lawsuit against real estate software company.
The company is called real Page and it is a
scheme that helps landlord high rents and anti trust lawsuit.
So they filed it this week. We'll see where it goes.
I think to me, that sounds pretty good. I know

(16:26):
some people if you live in like real buildings versus
living in like a home, like a two family home.
There there are constant rent tikes and all that jazz.
So so we'll see, we'll see what happens with that.
Something that was a little disappointing to me is that
a federal drudge in Texas scrapped the Biden administration's plan

(16:47):
to ban non competes. Non Competes are when you're employed
and you want to leave one job and go to another,
and if it's a like type of job, they some employers,
have you signed a noncompete. I'm going to make it
as simple as I can. McDonald's might have you signed
something that says you can't go to Wendy's, Chick fil
A or b K. But people should be able to

(17:10):
be employed. That's how as long as they're not taking
any any secret sauce information with them. But they baned
it anyway, they shut it down.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
So you're telling me I can't I can't do I'm
loving if I'm going over with the Burger king to
have it my way, because what's the other one? You God,
you can't do it? What's the other restaurant? You say?

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Have a Chick fil a? Chick fil a? Doesn't have anything.
Eat more chicken.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yeah, I can't eat oil chicken. Oh my god, I
can't eat oirel chicken because you don't want me to
give out your special sauce lettery bon. And then if
I go and try to have it my way, Oh
my god, no, thank you, Oh good god, that's a
whole joke in it ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
It absolutely is. I work for a hospital, and thank
god I don't have to sign a noncompete. I worked
for an electronic medical record company for a while and
we did have to sign it, so if I left
that one, I couldn't go to another one. But it
does really limit I remember something as silly as the
girl who gives me my facials left one company and
she went to another, and she couldn't tell any of

(18:16):
her old clients because she had signed it on compete.
So anyway, that's that the economy. I thought this was
funny because you know, you and I, like, we have
gold bars hanging around our house. For the first time
in history, a gold bar is worth one million dollars
playing can you imagine? So if you have any old
gold hanging around, get it in and turn it in.

(18:36):
You know, broken earrings, broken necklaces. The kids have stuff
that doesn't work. Turn it in.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
No, I don't want to turn shitty, and I just
want a couple of gold bars. Just give me like
thirty five of.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Them, I know, honest to God, you know what it
makes me think of? Am I going to say it right?
Is that Menendez? And Melendez the senator from New Jersey.
He is actually he's been, you know, housted, he's he
has a CNN got a hold of his resignation letter,
so he's going to be out. But he thought it

(19:09):
was okay. Remember they said he thought it was okay
to have gold bars and clothes and money and pockets.
And he didn't realize what did he do wrong? He
didn't do anything when he was with Egypt, colluding with Egypt.
So but a million dollars that that was, God bless them,

(19:30):
that was. That was a hell of a lot of
money that he had. And they said he had multiple bars,
so plus the money in the house. I kind of
only imagine the value that he had.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
I would have liked to be his sad piece. Okay,
come on, where are we going?

Speaker 3 (19:41):
I got ew though it was.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
The sad piece or the maid.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yea, oh, my God, hold on my thing. Just give
me two seconds. I just switched from one season to
and next.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
I would have went in and dusted them suits and
they would have got deaf empty.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
I would jet's exactly. I don't know what happened. You
told me to take it to the dry cleaners. I
took it to the dry cleaners. Hunter Biden was rejected
by a federal judge also for staying on judges, for
his latest attempt to dismiss the tax related services that
he's facing in LA I don't see that going away.
I'm sort of shocked that even he even tried to

(20:20):
make an attempt of it. They're going to hold his
feet to the fire. So we'll expect that in the fall,
just to his poor dad. Just as though that's that's
going on.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
I still hope, I still personally hope that Joe Biden,
since he since he was removed, since not forced or removed,
he said in himself that it was his decision. But
since that was his decision and he changed his man,
I hope that he changes his man and gets his
son full of unity. If he don't give it to
nobody else, I hope that he gives it to his son.

(20:50):
I don't think that we should judge him for it,
and I hope that he would think that he didn't
give a fuck because as a parent, and he has
proven himself to be a bit very loyal American from
fifty four years or third right, I hope that he
pardons just sell it.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Oh, our boyfriend George Santos is facing two years in
prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Question, is he going to try to go to the
man if you really want to punish him? Sin is
asked with a bunch of women.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Oh my god, he would. I mean, I don't know
where he'd get his lip closs if he goes to jail,
but he is, he is facing They must have had
him so dead to rights claim. I mean, it's like
so completely dead to rights that he would actually plead guilty.
I just can't even imagine him admitting that he was wrong.

(21:41):
See you later, alligator. And the next thing we have
if we're sticking on If we're sticking on suits, the
East Palestine residents filed emotion, accusing their lawyers of collusion.
I guess they got six hundred million in a train
settlement that you know, for the train turning over and
all those horrible fumes and everybody getting sick and blah
blah blah. But I think I guess they could have

(22:03):
somehow gotten more. They they think that there the attorneys
were in on it, in on some sort of agreement
with the trained people.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
So it happened to that the attorneys for the sag gig,
they own credit money to make sure that the people
who suffered didn't get the whole money.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Something, yeah, something, am.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
I surprised, absolutely not no, allegedly allegedly allegedly, yeah, yeah,
I got I got some alleged for you.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Well, this is what the news nation is reporting that
so and and they've been like, I know, Chris Cromo himself,
he actually went to Ohio. He was so touched by
them and so disturbed that the Biden administration wasn't getting involved.
And it's not that I believe it. It wasn't that
they were not getting involved. I think they they were

(23:03):
trying to hold the trained people speak to the fire
because they're the ones the one responsible, and they the
ones that should have been coming up with the money
and cleaning. And I think he did push that in
the EPA to get in there. I would have liked
to have seen them in there a little, a little quicker.
But you know, I'm not a president. I don't know
what the hell happens in there. You know, every day

(23:23):
he's probably trying to stop nuclear war.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
For the love of God.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Oh the Arizona is I won't have the chance. They're
voters in November to vote on on reproductive rights because
of some sort of paperwork glitch, it didn't get added
to the ballot and the ballots are done, so I
don't know if that's going to be a good thing
or a bad thing, but it's it's not something that's

(23:47):
going to be on their ballot, and it seems like
it's on everybody else's. It's for the emergency.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
The emergency is now all but this year, if we
got to get for I know, right, yeah, I said
what I said, if we got to get put on
because ye a, I would have put it on.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
That was a human on purpose era allegedly.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Okay, Next, what we're going to talk about, just quickly
is Ukraine. They have moved into as we know, into Russia.
It seems like they're making some sort of some sort
of groundwork. I love that that president's Lensky. There's something
about him that just seems like a regular guy.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Uh are you trying? Are you trying to become Ukrainian
on me? No?

Speaker 3 (24:32):
No, not trying to be Ukrainian. I love I am
an American. I don't want to live anywhere else. He
seems like he's got a lovely wife.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
I thought you were trying to get a little Crainian,
a little Ukrainian in you.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
No.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Look, he is a little Ukrainian. He's a little man.
He's a little an static, but he is a giant.
And I admire his courage, and I admire his tenacity,
and I admire his patriotism for his country. Because he
loves his country. I wish other people would take those
lessons over here.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Haint hint me too. You know what comes to my
mind when I think of him, and it probably will
for the rest of my life. I think of him
when they had the when they had the Normandy Anniversary,
reaching down to speak to one of the World War
Two veterans who was well into his pie to be
in his late nineties, and the veterans telling Zelensky that

(25:27):
he was his hero for a standing by his country
for doing the right thing, even when it wasn't easy.
And Zelensky was so taken aback by it, and he said, no, no,
we're here for you. You guys, you're the heroes. And
he said, no, you're my heir. And I thought, oh
my god, that was It was beautiful of the of
the American soldier as well, because that's what the World
War two was all about, right, it's stepping in, stepping

(25:49):
over a bully.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Yeah, I love it. I love Valenski's courage, and I
love that he will. He fights. He's dead to the end,
and he is fighting with his count He's yeah somewhere
given orders. He is on the ground in the trench
with his people stowing him. That's that's a great leader.
That is a great leader.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Yeah, I think so too, I really do.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
I like am I Not only am I your leader
and not only am I above you? But I am
with you. And that's what he is showing them.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
And what is India's I don't know if it's a
Prime minister Modi she went over to Ukraine to speak
Prime minister it was and I And they're they're keenly
watching them and watching their interaction with Russia and see
and really watching how how far Russia is going. And

(26:42):
I thought interesting that they went to Ukraine because I
always thought India was sort of in in Putin's pocket
or at least on that side of the jump rope.
Moving right along the Middle East is the Middle East
is a mess. They're moving the the the poor Palestinians. Again,

(27:06):
we're really kind of bracing. The US military is embracing
for any type of UH running an attack. I wish
them the best that I possibly can. I don't know
how this is going to come out. We really need
our people back. They did find I don't know if
you saw that in the news. They found six six
hostages bodies. They were all Israeli. Who is they Israel?

(27:32):
I don't know if that when they went in and
they were.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Looking according to what news source, according.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
To what well, CNN News Nation and the skim all reported.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
We think that that just came from US.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
No, no, no, they did. What they're saying is that
they were alive, they were taken alive, but now they're gone.
In the ages, there are two eighty year olds here,
a seventy nine year old, seventy six and a fifty
one and the youngest is thirty five. So my heart
goes out to those families. But I mean, this is
supposed to be easy at this part in their lives,

(28:09):
right high seventies and eighties. They shouldn't have to be
worrying about. We don't even know what happened to them.
They haven't discussed, you know, what condition the bodies were
in and all of that. But it's a that's going
to be a real blow to the peace talks that
they're talking about. The ceasefire as well as the hostage
is being released. We've talked about this before. I wonder

(28:29):
how many this is just opinion. I wonder how many
are even left flame, Like.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
I don't you know, you know, I stay away from that, Bobby.
I hate war.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah, I just take war.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
I say, put the two world leaders in the boxing ringers,
let them go. I would love to see Trump swing
and bide and Biden and swing and forget the heat swung.
I would love to see that. And really, from the
way it's looking, Trump might forget the punch because he
ain't remember nobody's name, what city, and nothing else. But y'all,
y'all that question his card. I'm watching I'm not saying

(29:02):
what I ain't saw. I'm saying the same thing. I'm
seeing the same thing. Y'all singing anyway, Prayers to everybody
involved in wars and guys of Ukraine, Israel, Palestine. It's
just a good gud.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
But I want him to clean it up. We need to.
Somebody has to, somebody has to step up. Brinkol was
over there.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
I love it that Joe Biden is still trying to
get this skill fire despread. He is really trying hard
to get this seafire to stop this war, and I'm
hoping that just gets passed sooner than later. I do too.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
I hope it's on his watch so he can go
out with And I really hope she wins, because he
would have put the first female in the office or
been instrumental in it by backing her immediately and training
her up all these years. And it would be really
nice to see him because he is a master of
foreign policy. I don't care what anybody says, and I

(29:56):
would love to have him. He's had Blinking over there
as a surrogate and been working on it. I blink
and I believe now is back. But I would love
to see that happen. And you know what he did
talk about and this is this is off of the war,
so we're off of that. But President Biden, he is
he's negotiating for ten additional drugs and it looks like

(30:17):
that's going to go through for twenty twenty six. That
for Medicare, that will be cheaper. It will save us
tens of millions of dollars as citizens, and it will
make it cheaper for people who are living on fixed
incomes like Social Security to actually be able to afford
their drugs and take them without having to ration them.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yeah, fantastic. Whether we stay last week, whether we tell
you remind you guys of last week, Joe Biden is
still our president. Yep. Yeah, Okay, Bob, let's get on
to this DNC. We call forty minutes.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry. Oh you know the one
the one thing I thought was kind of cute before
we get to the DNC. So under my Trump petting,
did you see that the The New York Times have
reported that one of Trump's people, I don't know, probably
someone running, is running his race. They gave the name,
but I didn't get the name. Uh put out something
on social media with Trump and Beyonce's Freedom song, the

(31:13):
one that Harris always uses, and she did a cease
and desist and I got that tickled me, pink.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
I think Trump looked at it like, if you can't
beat him, join him. Hopefully they'll be with a fifty
dollar of y'all both blue and make sure that you're
registered both dot org. He won't be able to beat
the YEP because he damn show ain't gonna join us
because where he going I don't want to go. He's
there already.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
He's a ramble and lunatic. The only thing so the
good and the bad news is today RFK Junior suspended
his his race and but the son of a gun
is backing is backing Trump, which I am out of
my mind. News Nation, just as we were coming on,
reported that he's actually at the Trump rally tonight. So

(32:02):
I I just can't believe that that Bobby.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
What's so sad about that? Is I interview RFK Jr.
Maybe I know y'all get a chance to see the
interview because and now I'm glad y'all didn't. And I
changed my perspective on him according to what he was saying,
but now he is just showing that he is chasing
what what he can ki something because he chased me
with because there. Let me let me break this down

(32:31):
for you all. When your whole family or where where
most of your family and the big ways and you
are from a you are from the Kennedys, that is
political legacy in this country. People love your day, They
loved your uncle, but you and your and your family

(32:51):
are now your present family turns on you and says
that they wouldn't vote for you or they are against you,
and that speaks volumes about what we should hear and see.
So I'm just saying for you to be a flip
flopper like that. And in the interview I asked him,
I say, and I did ask him. I said, so,
if there's a chance that you don't win, and I
was very kind because he wasn't even older damn ballot,

(33:14):
would you be willing to endorse another candidate? He says,
I'm going to win. He avoided the question by saying, yeah,
I'm going to win. I said, well, you have a
really positive attitude even though I know you ain't had
a snowball chance o'hell on winning and now you see
you neither, but the fact that you are back in
Trump because the rumor is that I think there was
reported on one of the news pro outlets that he

(33:35):
was promised by Don Junior a cabinage position. That is
the way it's supposed to have went down. Yeah, yeah,
this is yes, dude. This is another reason to make
sure that we vote hard and vote heavy because he
even though he only had five percent, I think it
was like between three to five percent, we need every

(33:57):
vote that we can get. So this is where you
may register. We get up to these polls. Help everybody,
you know, and the words of the Great Michelle Obama,
do something, knock gonna do us, the call folks whatever
you need to make. Talk to people in the laundromat,
at the grocery store, Are you registered, are you voting
for this person? Why are you voting for that person? Whatever,

(34:18):
Just do what you gotta do. So I'm sorry, I'm rambling.
You know you're not rambling, but I'll.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Rub it off on you. I thought, and I'm only
going to read one line of it. I got this
was pretty powerful. So five of his siblings immediately came out,
and there's just a few lines, but the last line
was that, well, they said they believe in in Harrison
Wallas and they said, our brother Bobby's decision to endorse
Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our

(34:49):
father and our family holds most dear. It's a sad
ending to a sad story. And then they signed their
names Kathleen Courtney, Carry, Chris and Rory Kennedy.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
And I thought the Kennedys are affiliated with wealth, political power,
beyond beyond me, service, service for sure, yeah, and service,
and you know with the shrivers and comunities. It's that's
long jackline bouvia. But you guys, wow, things like you say,

(35:23):
things have evolved, things have changed, but they ain't changed
that much. Because when your family, family is still family,
and when your family say it, they know it to
be true because they've been around you their whole life.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
It's the truth. And you know what I was watching
on CNN. I'm Jake Tapper tonight. It is something that's
not changing for Trump and it's kind of like, look,
it's something everybody, so I'll explain it as quickly as
I can, but it's something that's completely legal everybody as
long as the service is provided and it's at a
fair market value. They said that Trump's businesses are bringing

(35:56):
in tens of millions of dollars from campaigns, including his
own by by candidates are going to his service, they're
running their fundraisers through it, or they're getting some sort
of service through him. They're actually getting a service, and
then all of a sudden a month two months. It's

(36:16):
probably coincidental, but he's endorsing them. One of the people
was herschel Walker, so unfortunately he didn't win. He had
spent two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars at Myra Lago,
so I'm sure that was what for some some sort
of campaign. But who's done it the most. The RNC
has spent two millions since twenty sixteen. Trump himself, they reported,

(36:38):
has spent since twenty sixteen twenty eight million dollars of
political contributions by doing fundraisers, by renting his plane. What
does he call it, Trump forced one or something or
trump I don't know, whatever he calls it. So he's
not hurting for cash. It's still coming in. And if
you don't like that, then that's you go and you

(37:00):
vote people, you vote local, you tell people you don't think.
I think it's a little unsavory, but it's completely about board.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
It's a real fight, y'all. It's a real fight. Okay. Now,
let's get to the Let's get to the joyous part
of the week. The joyous part of the week was
this week was the Democratic National Convention, Ladies, Jai, we
were able to appoint and the candidate we appointed was
able to accept her nomination for UH for the positions

(37:35):
for the black job. What I tell you, we watched
it all week. You watched it with me. The world
was watching it. Everybody was watching. Now. I amn't here
in Chicago now, but I was only a bit available
to go last night, which was the final night to
actually be in the room to hear her and see
her take the acceptance. But over all, the through the week,

(37:57):
we're gonna do all the We're gonna go. Monday to Thursday.
Our Monday was fantastic. When I tell you, I don't
know if they could have set Monday up more bad.
It was an alley from Monday to Tuesday because Hillary
Clinton came out there and just Tuesday Hillary came was
it Tuesday Hillary came out? No?

Speaker 3 (38:16):
No, Hillary was with Biden on Monday. It really was.
It really was. I felt and I want you to
continue like a swan song to Biden. He came out,
he thanked everybody for his work. He gave it everything
he had, basically is what he said. And he's passing
the torch. And yeah, I thought it was. And everybody
was so good to him, including Hillary. She has a

(38:39):
different type of energy than Michelle Obama, but she got
she got that, she got the crowd going.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
I thought, oh, let me tell you something when they
when they brought out Hillary, so many emotions and me
popped up because I think that a lot of that
they gave by the way they gave Hillary about a
three minutes stand ovation. Oh yeah, I think that that
was We're sorry. I think that was an apology standovation

(39:06):
because they realized we fucked up. To me, that's what
that was the first emotion. I was like, y'all doing
all of this when y'all acted like y'all didn't like
this woman, so y'all didn't vote for her because of
some bullshit that was thrown in the game right before
the election the October five because he's coming. Yeah, So
but that was Now it's too late to apologize because

(39:29):
look at the situation that we are in and that
we are facing. I do love the fact of that
they thumped hard for Hillary Clinton. She had to have
felt that love. But that to me was, oh, Hillary,
We're sorry, we fucked up. That was that was that
was what, and we respect you. But her delivery, her performance,
the way she looked everything, Hillary was on it. She

(39:52):
was sharp, She looked fantastic with a bob wig. I
love the way when she speaks. Hillary really is very commanding.
You watch Hillary and.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
She says words that that resonate and they make sense.
I remember her saying, I want my grandchildren and my
grandchildren's grandchildren to know I was here the time we
shattered the glass ceiling and we have the first female president.
And I thought that is powerful words considering it should
have been her, Well it was. We remember she won

(40:25):
the popular vote by three million. I think it's at
a damn elatora college.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
And then let you guys know that we got to
take this popular vote at least five million plus. Because
he's going to challenge it.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
He's always going to challenge it. He's going to challenge
it anyway. He's already told us, he's going.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
To challenge it.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
And then it was yeah, I gave my best to you.
Biden said, I loved that too.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Yeah, yeah, Biden. I thought Biden was And it was
late at night, y'all. No, no, he should have been
being at a thirty. Biden was still up, Biden. Biden
had took him a weedy or hit him a rear
bull or something that day, because Biden was still up Tuesday.
Oh all right, but that was come on, Bobby, forget.

(41:09):
I don't want to forget nobody.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
No, no, no, I don't. I'm just trying to look.
There was somebody else here that I thought was worth mentioning.
But oh, the last thing I wanted to say about Monday,
I'm sorry. So Sean Fayn came out. Sean Fayne is
the Union of the Auto Workers, right, and he comes
out in a jacket, and you could see he had
a T shirt on and he said it was getting hot.

(41:31):
So he takes it off and it says Trump is
a scab. I loved it. I was on my mind.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
Yeah, that was very Caucasian. That was very Caucasian.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
And I'll tell you what else is Because I was
raised in a Union house I was raised by a teamster,
a sharp steward or teamster. So I thought, scab is
the worst insult when you're in the union that you
could possibly give anybody.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
That's when.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
That's when you or you don't even get involved in
all you go you like bypass it, right. So and
he gave again it was about Flowers to Biden. He
gave He gave Biden the acknowledgment that he was the
first person, the first president in history that came down
and literally held a sound for I don't know if
you said it hours or hour on the picket line
and stood with them and made sure they had everything

(42:20):
that they needed. And I so I loved that. I
thought that was I thought that was pretty good. And
then the other the other one is and you might
know the name flame, I don't. They had them the
was it the men's basketball coach that came out that
was just in the Olympics and he did the Steph
Curry night Night line. That was how he went out

(42:40):
of out of the speech. And I thought, oh my god,
that was hysterical. That's what he wants to tell Trump.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Night night Tuesday, Tuesday Tuesday, rhyme and just the Obamas
came through and just wrecked the room. They just wrecked
the room. And I loved that Michelle show a proud
woman of color, looks like, stands like, speaks like, and
takes no prisoners. First of all, any woman from Chicago,

(43:08):
I don't give a damn what nationality she is, right right, Mexican,
Puerto Rican, Asian, Indonesian from Swahily. All women from Chicago
talked shit, and baby Michelle, Michelle got off her chest.
What she couldn't win, he was the president, and what
she couldn't win they were in the office. So she
got it off that time and with such class and

(43:28):
such dignity, and it was very real launch. And then
Barack came behind her. And I'm gonna give a RockA
A minus on this one. He's a powerful speaker. He's
still that man and that man, but that wife that night,
Michelle was the A plus. Baracko was the A miners. Baby,
I loved him.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
I loved them both. I loved that, she said. She started.
She started to speak by saying, Hope is making a
comeback because I've told you over the past so many months,
and you know, the funny thing is, I've said this
to you before, and I just started with my family,
my family that are Republicans, that side that as scared

(44:05):
as you and I are of Trump getting into office.
And I don't understand why they're terrified of a Democrat
getting in. And I'm like, I'm not terrified of a
Republican getting in. I'm terrified of Donald Trump getting in.
You know this particular man. But I thought, oh my god,
like that kind of it kind of hit me in
the face. But I liked she said something about America

(44:29):
being a better story. Kamala is the most qualified candidate.
I loved that because I think people are forgetting it.
And I love that she said, you know, Donald, she
might become and you might be applying for her black job.
I thought that was terrific. I loved You're gonna have
to tell me flame if I get this wrong. DJ
Cassidy was it phenomenal. The music he had it like

(44:51):
a dance party. I was bouncing in my seat. He
had the music appropriate to each state.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
Well, Bobby, that is where our podcast these you are
having a good time. It is so much easier to
receive information, and I love that they know that's what
we do. I cracked jokes on with y'all and talked
my shit over here, because what we're trying to help
you guys learn, We think that it's easier if you're
laughing while you're doing it. That's it. And dancing John

(45:21):
came out. He came, Do you know what my mother says?
The road call so with the road cars. Yes, that's
what Georgia absolutely waring. Now y'all know I'm taying California,
my aunt, myself, my Nancy, But y'all know Georgia had
Georgia had won that one.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
They absolutely so my mother. All of a sudden, the
little John's music came and he starts dancing, and I
could see my mother. My mother's eighty one years old,
she just turned last week. She got a little panic
in her eye. And he starts to swag a little bit,
and he gets all the way down, and she says,
you know, I really appreciate that young man not holding
his crotch. I said, okay, not all raps grabbed their crutch.

(46:02):
But I thought to myself, like your face, yeah, I
got that. I'm like, Mom, you are white. If you
if you had gone white white, She's she's beyond white.
Bernie Sanders came out. He was he was okay, Chuck
Schumer met I liked, I liked Tammy Duckworth. She was okay.

(46:23):
Anna Navarro. I didn't see an Navarro. I know you
spoke to her, and I don't know if you want,
I mean you you saw her. So I was watching
News Nation, and News Nation was cutting in and cutting out,
like if they thought you weren't a list speaker, they would,
you know, give you what they thought on Little John,

(46:43):
you know, they would talk. So I missed some speakers.
I saw her come out. She look like a million bucks.
But I didn't hear a word that she said. Was
she did you? Was she a host or something?

Speaker 4 (46:54):
She was just yeah, a little bit, but okay. She
she was trying to be comical, but it came out
it was the delivery for me. Yeah, yeah, but she did.
She did look great and like I like Morona, I
really do. But I don't think that being snappy and

(47:18):
being the message can it came off if it was
supposed to be a joke, if she would have laughed
and smiled while she was delivering it, because it made it. Yeah,
it made it look a little angry. So but she
did agree. She did look great. I think she on that.
Oh oh ok, she.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Looks like you go girl, if that's what's working for you.
The one I found the most touching, and I don't
have his name, and I apologize. I'm assuming it's going
to be Carter, but it could have been his daughter's child.
Is Jimmy Carter's grandson. When he came out and said
that his goal right now is to live until November
so he can vote for the first female president, and

(47:58):
I thought, you know, one hundred year old man, God
bless her.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
Well before we even get to him. That is what
Tim Wallace represents to me. If we see the American
dream is a house with a picket fence with a
dog and hot apple pie and you help your neighbor.
If that is what the American we know. The American
dream has changed over the years, but everybody still has

(48:21):
a house. A lot of your piggy fince turned into
a gated community, or your picket fence turned into high security,
or the ring that the dream hasn't changed. Y'all tried
to change the narrative, but I think that people still
want that sense of family from city. With that, I
just said that from city to county, to state to country,
you still I mean to wherever you live to township,

(48:44):
people still want that sense of community. That's what it was.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
I agree with that. And something that we forget about
Jimmy Carter is is that he did Jimmy Carter didn't
necessarily want more government. Jimmy Carter thought neighbors should be
helping neighbors. It didn't meet The government can't do everything.
He used to say. It's gotta be us helping each other,
not everything coming out of you know, the pie. There's
only so much pie, and there are more important things.

(49:10):
You know that a neighbor, neighbor has a need and
doesn't have food, or the kids don't have shoes, fill
it in, figure it out, give them hand me downs,
whatever it is. So I liked that about him, but
that really touched me. And then of course, you know,
I just I just adored Barack Obama, So I thought
I thought he was terrific. They were a one two punch,
a one two punch.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
They was an ally, but they were fantastic. We got
onto Wednesday and then Wednesday, on Wednesday, on Wednesday, my baby,
the game. Oh yes, the matriarch, the biggest balls with
no balls in politics and a Democratic party. The Nancy baby.

(49:51):
The Nancy had gave it and the Nazy was not me.
She the Nancy, reminded us about January sixth.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
No, she did. She's very sharp. I did hear a
few booze for her, and but I think the booze
were around. People are still a little unsettled with how
everything went down with Biden. I think people are going
to get over that, but I do I feel myself.
I wish it was handled a little differently or whatever.
But but I liked the words that she said. I

(50:21):
always find I think she's a great speaker. She's a
thoughtful speaker. You know, she's thought out what she's going
to say. She's a little slower with her speech than
she was than she has been in the past. I
thought she looked beautiful. This is a woman in her
mid eighties. She is a beautiful woman.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
Is a cold piece.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
So yeah, I mean in her forties or thirties, she
must have been stunning. The m Hoff kids came out
and they did that whole they did that whole little bit,
uh introducing their dad. I thought it was I thought
it was absolutely sweet. Oh you know who else the
poet that Angela? Angela Gorman. She came out. God, she's stunning.

(51:04):
And then you know my girl, Oprah. I just absolutely
door Oprah. So uh she came.

Speaker 4 (51:10):
Out, so Andrew and Andrew, is it Andrea?

Speaker 3 (51:14):
I thought it was Angela Amanda Amanda, Yes, that's it.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
Omen was so. She was absolutely breathtaking. Her words are
always so prolific in the way that she delivers them.
I watched I watched her Oprah behind the scenes where
she said she was so nervous. I didn't get that
at all. I thought she was amazingly remarkable in her
delivery and the dediction of her words and the way
that she paused and breathed. And remember that she was

(51:43):
delivering the speech. She was fantastic.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
She's so young to remember, she's not a super seasoned girl.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
I think she's only still in her early twenties.

Speaker 4 (51:51):
So she is. She is a consummate professional. Yeah, she
will be the Maya Angelo, Well she is. She will
be the legend one day to Maya this year.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Oh, I think so. I think so true. And they
had Buddha Judge came out. Oh, I loved John because
I love Prince, but I loved John Legends and Chili.

Speaker 4 (52:09):
E hold on, hold on, let me back you up,
Hold your horses, you're moving. Don't skip over. Booty Jets.
Booty Jas was fancy. Let me tell you them. I
am falling more and more and more in love with
Booty Jeez. I gave Booty js hell when he first
came out, too, but I am falling in love with
b He is a no nonsense, easy to listen to,

(52:33):
seem very very truthful, very genuine about what he has
to say, and he seems like he cares about this
country I likes. I do too.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
I think we're going to see big things from him.
I think we're going to see someone else that live love.
I mean absolutely a door. He was on the Daily Show.
He was spitting, he was spitting rhymes. Was Wes Moore.
I love Wes Moore. I thought he came out. He
was faithful to Biden until the very end, and even
still I loved him coming out. Joshapiro, We're gonna see

(53:03):
big things from him too. He's got great energy. I
don't I don't feel about him a certain way like
I do about Buddha judge or more. Amy Klobashaw, God
bless her. She always does a good job. I also
loved I found super touching on this night was when
Tim Walls's UH student came out and spoke about him

(53:24):
and he was a neighbor and how he used to
do for people and he and his wife, and I
thought this was so touching. There was a there was
a child I'll call him a child because I don't
know if he was in the high school. He must
have been who had a large food bill and didn't
have any any means to pay off his lunch bill.
So Tim and his wife, you know, contacted the school

(53:48):
and said what jobs could we do? Like and that's
he ended up doing some sort of like seventh or
eighth grade coaching job for a nominal amount. But they
paid off the kids. They paid off the kids lunch
bill and made sure he was eating for the to
the whatever.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
And I ain't that what Christian's supposed to do, help
other people. That's what that's what he did do.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
And he probably was dying that this kid told about it.

Speaker 4 (54:09):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Like, what you're also supposed to do is not talk
about the good deeds you do that kind of takes
the shine off the good deed. I guess it wasn't
him talking about it. But then they brought the football team. Oh,
I thought it was so cute, the winning football team.
Some of the players all middle aged triple chins. I
thought it was terrific.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
Bobby come back, Bobby come back, come back by a
good guy.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
And then Tim Wallas accepted the nomination.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
And Tim Tim Wallas is a og. And I'm gonna
tell you if I did love Tim Walls before when
I because I didn't know much about him until now
I'm realized I gave I had to give him a
minute because I got to see I gotta feel you out.
But Tim Wallas is a shit talker. And you know
if you and Ship talking to you all right with me?
And coach and horse facey ass came after Tim Walls's
son and as a parent, I don't know why y'all

(54:54):
keep going after these people kids as a parent. But
because she ain't no paying with as a parent, you
cannot go as the people kids baby. Tim Wallas had
slapped back and clap back hard.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
I thought it was cute that the Sun was so
proud of him. That's my dad's Like. It was just
the cutest thing. I thought. He won me over. I
thought that was very very sweet of him. I thought,
I mean, if we can't be proud of our family,
what are we doing?

Speaker 4 (55:22):
Yeah, he is going, I think from what people see,
and they trying to They trying to find some ugly
and they're going to continue to try to find both candidates.
I'm telling you now, if you listen to us, they focused.
They don't don't fall for the okie do because the
okie dope is coming and it's gonna come heavier and
heavy and heavier leading up to the election. So be

(55:44):
like again, be like a horse. Will blander own and
then Bobby Clifford because I thought was fucking First of all,
I did guy to give respect that Oprah looked absolutely.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
Incredible, seventy years old, unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (55:58):
And she was she was so up in that purple suit,
looking amazing and her hair is always done. But Oprah
was prolific in her words. She was proud and Oprah
said she is an independent. She is She's proud that
she's a proud independent. But she was voting this year
for Kamala Harris for so many different reasons, and the

(56:19):
open she used to have a lot more weight than
it does. But people still love and respect Oprah Winfrey.
So be a fact that she spoke out, because I
don't think she has ever spoken out public before. Candidate
she's Obama, Yeah, Obama.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
She she she came out for Obama. I see her
more as and I know exactly what you're saying about weight.
I think she's like a sniper from the side though,
like she just lays back. She doesn't have to be
like in your face because as Americans, if you're not
in our face every day, we forget all about you.
She has her fingers in a gazillion other pots and
in different ways, and she's she continues to help help people.

(56:56):
But even Loungaria was there. You know what I loved.
I thought was so cute. Gabby Gifford and Mark Kelly.
I thought they were I can't say as much a
one two punch they were tap.

Speaker 4 (57:09):
I loved her. I loved her spirit and her courage.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
Oh my god, her brain. Her brain has been piered.
Like the fact that she can even you know how
hard she had to work to even with a piece
of your brain missing, to compensate on other sides, use
other parts of your brain. That she's she's a fighter.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
That's hold on. That's not an excuse because you don't
how many Trumpelicans get their whole brain.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
You're too funny. But I thought I thought that was
that was terrific. And he just looks at her. He
loves her so much. They they I feel badly about
you know about that that happened. She was only like
forty years old. Kerrie Washington came out. She had Tony
good good is Goldwyn, she had the scandal, the president

(57:56):
from the scandal. I thought, so my favorite art or
most touching. I had two of them where Kamala's great
nieces came out and I thought this was adorable with
Carrie Washington and tried to teach people how to say
the name Kamala if they were having because some people
seem to be having trouble. So I loved that.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
I think that's on purpose, yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
But oh my, oh yeah, for sure. I mean that
was Kerrie was pretty clever. But I was doing that,
but I thought that was sweet. I also loved when
Kamala's stepdaughter and her niece and the god daughter came
out I thought that was very touching. And her daughter,
her sister, Oh my god, her sister is stunning, gorgeous,
drop dead. I thought that was I mean, think of

(58:42):
this family. Two parents come from two different countries, immigrants,
they come here as teenagers. They educate themselves, they're both PhDs, researchers, whatever.
They have two daughters. They get both daughters Ivy League educations,
law school and college. Now here's the here's the kicker,
because not all life is great. Right, The younger, the

(59:05):
drop dead, gorgeous darter, gets pregnant at seventeen. They as
a family, as a unit, the three women, the mother,
Kamala and the baby's mom, Maya raised that baby. She
is also IVY League school educated in an attorney.

Speaker 4 (59:23):
Well, Kamma is HBCU. She went to she went to Howard.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
I know that's what I well, I'm considering it. And
then she went to like Harvard or.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
Yale or whatever for law school.

Speaker 3 (59:32):
Right, and so her sister was the same, like was,
you know, those are impressive schools to get into.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
Ways I don't want to do. I don't I don't
want you to make the mistake and discreded the HBCU.
We don't want Howard University angry with us. They got
to get the sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
I'm putting them in with the ivy leagues.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
That that's the compliment. But you still have to call
them by name, because yes, and Howard has kicked out
a lot of monster's baby, they got a lot of
big wigs that came through Howard. So congratulations Howard University
forgetting y'all looked possibly our first very first female president
and first female president of color, a black woman.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
What's your favorite? Remember you told me earlier who your
favorite was?

Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
So last night because we on the last night that yeah,
so last night, Oh so last night, lots of people spoke,
lots of people spoke. I thought Deal Huge as a
comedian was funny to me, and Deal has an he
has a great political mind as well. But my absolute
favorite last night, which I thought that we needed more

(01:00:39):
than anything else. Upset up there on their stage outside
of Kamala speaking was Adam Kinjinger because he is a lifelong,
staunch Republican who will not beersuaded persuaded. This made but
when he came out and said that he couldn't do
this anymore, to me, that's what he was saying and

(01:01:01):
went right to us when I said, told you, Bobby,
even white folks is sick of this chaotic shit. And
when you get a Republican like that to be like,
you know what, I'm choosing my country over my party,
that's all he's not. And he's he's not saying that
he's Democrat. He is choosing America over the foolishness that

(01:01:24):
he could come. So he never changed his party ship.
He just it's doing the right thing. It's the decent thing,
the American thing. And so he was my favorite because
the way he delivered that message, you could tell that
it didn't bother him that he did that. He that
he's doing it. I think it bothered him that he

(01:01:45):
has to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
And that's exactly that's that's how I took the speech.
I think his words were similar to that, but I
thought so. I thought it was very powerful. Of course,
they were dragging him today, naturally, I also found power
perful just to step back to somebody that you just mentioned.
I think the nature of a true man is when
you can apologize and own up to something that you've

(01:02:08):
done incorrectly. And I loved that. Jill Hughgley on the
biggest platform that you possibly could guess apologize to Kamala.
I thought that was terrific too. But yeah, Adam Kinziger was.
There were a few gops. There were so many speakers.
I couldn't like write the names and get everything down,
but there were a few. I think there was a
Secretary of Defense that was in there. I know that

(01:02:32):
there was. There was either a former congressman or senator
that had come out.

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
You know who I liked. I liked the sheriff. The
sheriff was yeah too. Yeah, he was the younger guy.
He was really handsome. Yeah, and he was, and he was.
He didn't talk about police reform, but he did that.
The way that he saivy his words was like there
has to be some change within the department.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm right with you. There wasn't anything.
So I liked them all. There wasn't anybody I didn't like.
I thought some of them maybe not as important. I've
already said this to you. I thought, jeez, a lot
of these So some of the point of getting all
of these people out and us getting to know Kamala

(01:03:19):
ourselves is for the swing voters and the independence. Well,
you can't put the president, the vice president. You can't
put these people on a friggin midnight like. I don't
think they managed the time she was done.

Speaker 4 (01:03:30):
She was done early last night and she I.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
Was wasn't It was like twelve forty five. I mean
he should have been night.

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
Night, for the love of God, except for two days. Uh,
God blessom anyway to be in the room last night. Yeah,
let me tell you that the feeling in the room
was so yes. And you know how I tell you
guys all the time, the energy is transferable. I was
way up in the box, every one of the nice
foller boxes. Yeah, but the energy in the entire arena

(01:04:00):
at the United Stenter was just it was so thick
you could cut it. Because people were smiling, and people
were high fiving each other and hugging each other and
fist bumping and just positive. And it was a barrage
of colors in there and nationalities and everybody was embracing
each other because that is what America looks like. That

(01:04:22):
is what America looks like. And I wish you people
could have saw behind the scenes of how the positivity
brought us together while the hate and anger divided us
more because that's what it would have been a perfect
analogy to see that people were interviewing and hugg the
men were hugging each other and hugging on the women
and wooa woo, And that's what they need to see,

(01:04:44):
because positivity does make you smile and bring people together.
Negativity separates you, because that's what it's meant to do.
She was incredible. She was incredible. She looked her hair
and person was so beautiful. I'm like, I wonder if
after she wins, what will her hell look like in

(01:05:05):
four years? They gonna be plenty of had that because
everybody who goes in for the job wants her out white.
Is this sheep? Good? God?

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
I know poor Biden has got fourteen he has left
on his head after what.

Speaker 4 (01:05:16):
She was so powerful with her poigant, her dicktion. I
love that she told us about her family. She led
us on the inside. She made us come into her
living room to get to know who she was and
why we should trust her. I love that she brought
her policy. I love that she stood on her conviction
with her courage, because that's what it's going to take

(01:05:38):
to be the next president of the United States, You're
going to have to have a lot of courage, and
we know that last administration don't have none. He ran
to the bunkers holding the Bible upside down. Anyway, that
same bidble that he sold y'all, well, he was down
there holding that room side down about it. He said,
let me put some gold on it and sell it
to y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:05:54):
After y'all, he ran in his gold sneakers.

Speaker 4 (01:05:59):
She was. It was amazing, and the historic moment of that.
When I thought about it, I'm in I am experiencing history.
This will go down a legacy forever. And I was here.
I was not able or old enough or I don't
even think I was alive during the Selma marches or
doing like the bus boycott in Alabama, but I could
say that I was a part of this history because

(01:06:21):
this was a historic, a historic moment. We're trying to
be fair over here.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean they said, think of this. I mean,
and I'm speaking to you, mister President Trump, because you're
so concerned about crowd sizes. I loved how Obama worked
that into I literally fell off my chair off and
so high. Twenty Nielsen reports that twenty eight point nine
million people were viewing when she was giving her speech. Wow,

(01:06:47):
that's a lot of people.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
There's a lot of people. It was the most watched
show on TV. And I'm telling you right now, make
sure that you are registered to vote, make sure that
you get your ducks in a row, because we are
in a fight, and the lives will come, the bs
will come. But if your man is focused on what
you want at the end of the at the end
of the target, which is we want to save the

(01:07:09):
bit of democracy that we have. We already know how
it's going to go the other way if it goes
the other way, So we have to do all that
we can so that it does not go the other way.
That's it. That was one nice part, Okay, lady. I
will be at New York on Monday night at one night,
one hour, one queen at comedy in Harlem, a new location.
Go to my website, go to their website or to

(01:07:30):

where it's going to be. I would see you guys

(01:07:51):
in New York. You know, I'd love to come to
the Big Apple and bring my own worm. Thank you
very much, but thank you guy, Bobby. And you can
follow Bobby Clifford at Clifford Bobby on Instagram and at
Bobby Clifford on Facebook. And I am Monroe Flame on
Instagram and flame more on everything else to Flame Monroe
one two five on TikTok. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, We

(01:08:13):
thank you guys for joining us. It has been an
exciting week. The energy that we have when we have
seventy four days, you gotta keep it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
You got to help who you can seventy three seventy three.

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
In seventy three day. And in the words of Michelle Obama,
do something and you might think it's very small, but
do something. It might inspire somebody who wasn't going to vote,
who's undecided on their vote, who sees it another way.
Because let me tell you, y'all, all these year go
think you've got a Simulus check. There was a guy
on Instagram who broke it down today and says, you

(01:08:43):
got a sixteen hundred dollars check for four years, that
is seventy five cent a day. Are you worth seventy
five cent a day? I'm asking you who's waiting on
a simulus check that was not even approved by Donald Trump.
It was approved by the Democratic Congress headline, but the diva,
the one, the Nancy. He did not want you guys

(01:09:05):
to have a similar check. He said COVID wasn't real
one day and three days later he said, put some
bleach in your arm and put it up under UV light.

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
And remember, people keep keep getting this part. We got
a stimulus check because the economy was shut down due
to the pandemic. There are no checks coming no matter
who gets in. They don't just give us checks. So
don't be voting thinking somebody's going to give you something.

Speaker 4 (01:09:30):
It's not one more time, one more time. Are you
only worth seventy five five cents a day? But they
make more than that in prison. That's the truth. Okay, ladies,
I'm here at Left and Learn. We are not trying
to get you to change your man. We are only
trying to get you to use your man because you
know why.

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
Because a mind is a terrible thing to waste, and
so it was.

Speaker 4 (01:09:53):
A vot and a vote is even worse. It's hopeful, voteful,
be hopeful. Let's get voteful. We got some to do, y'all,
and it's important we got something to do, because if
we don't get this something to do, they are going
to do something and you're not gonna like it. You're
not gonna like it. Have a great week, Talk to
you so and sing you in New York by then
