Flame Monroe and co-host Bobbi Clifford dive into a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from personal tour stories and a tribute to the late Ruth Buzzi, to reflections on entertainment history and mental health in politics. They examine current political developments including the papal conclave, Trump’s ongoing controversies, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s political ambitions. The duo also addresses the economic strain of tariffs on small businesses, the deflection of due process by political leaders, and looming structural shifts in government. Additional topics include the strained state of air traffic control, cuts to federal funding for education and the arts, the legal battles shaping policy, and evolving global relations—particularly regarding Ukraine. Rounding out the discussion, Flame and Bobbi reflect on the intersection of pop culture and politics, with a look at the cultural resonance of this year’s Met Gala.Tune in and comment in the socials below.

Bobby Clifford, how are you too?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I'm terrific. How are you touch? You've been a busy girl.
I want to hear about your weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Oh we were in Bozeman, Montana and Massoula, Montana. Great
great people over in Bozeman and in Massoula. I am
not changing votes, but I'm damn sure changing man's and ideologies.
Those people were great. They spend plenty of money on fans.
I had a fantastic time. Thank you Tiffany Hadis on
this funny and feelss too. With me and Barbara Carlisle,
(02:42):
we are having the best time. Tomorrow, we're going to
North Dakota. I never thought I would go to North
Dakota in my whole lifetime, but we will be in Bizmarck,
North Dakota, on Saturday and Fargo, North Dakota on Friday.
So go to Tiffany Haddis dot com for tickets. We're
doing two casinos. Don't ask me the name as I
don't know. On a liner note, I'm also looking to move,
(03:03):
so it's been a challenging. It's been hard week. My
daughter's going to prom. I'm still trying to get making
sure we get Sad season five. It's a lot going on.
But outside of that, Bob, we want to acknowledge the
passing of a great comedian, a great lady, a funny, funny,
funny woman who had been in show business for many,
many years, the late great Ruth Buzzy. Yes that what
(03:25):
was she ninety eight or eighteen?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
She was eighty eight and she died of which I
think is because I might belove it, Auntie Barbara died
of Alzheimer's. She died of Alzheimer's I think one of
the most degrading diseases. It seems to it seems to
attack the people who were the sharpest and quickest, And
you know, my aunt was a history teacher, and I
just it's an awful way to go out. So I
(03:48):
hope her transition was smooth and God bless you on
the other side.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And if you don't know who Ruth Buzzy was, please
do your research and google. This woman was on so
many different shows from sixties to maybe the late nineties,
hysterically funny, worked with some of the all time greats,
all time greats, and she played off that. They said
that she was not an attractive woman, so she used
(04:12):
that to her advantage and played off of that and
was hysterically funny. Good God.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
She wasn't classically, but she was. She really was pretty sure,
beautiful eyes and hair, and she just wasn't a classic.
She had a more ethnic nose and that kind of
that kind of throws people. I'm trying to think, Oh
my god, what was that show with Goldie Han.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
And laugh laughing.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah, she was. She was hysterical.
She was a great actress, a bigh philanthropist, God bless you.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
And she was the one who we used to take
the big power puffer said make up and hit them
people in the face with ha. She was hilarious. Ruth
buzzy baby, rest in peace, Ruth Buzzy.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That's what. That's what back what we're dating ourselves. That's
back when we had variety shows and shows like when
we were little kids.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And Lawrence, well, I seen that on the internet. I
wasn't around me and girl, stop it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Pants on via. We used to sit with them on
a Saturday. My mother would make a big thing of
popcorn before it was microwave popcorn, and uh, we'd watch
Lawrence Welk and we'd watched everybody dance and all the
gorgeous costumes and that was so wonderful, and then Laughin
would come on, and you know, there was only we
only get to watch a little bit of that because
(05:26):
my mother thought it was racy.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Felt confession, Yes, Lawrence Welke. I did not watch for
the accordion or for his boring ass, but I did
watch for the gowns because they did used to wear
gowns or Lawrence well, and they used to wear the
big be half hair.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And that's what Actually, it's funny. That's actually because people
loved they loved the show. It was at the top
of you know, it's popularity. But the problem was is
that it costs so much. They didn't have to wear
a down for every song, every song that came in,
they had wear a different gown. So it was the
cost who's alone were outrageously expensive. But it was it
(06:03):
was fun. It was good, you know, honest, honest, uh
uh entertainment. I could I was going to say humor,
but it was that Lawrence Walk was entertainment lat and
I mean to think my mother thought that was racy
when you see what's on television now, you know we
could see Goldie Hawn's knees.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Different different times, pluse different times. Bobby, Okay, let's get
into the meat of the story because we're not going
to have a very long left to learn today, ladies
and gentlemen. We got stuff to do, and uh, unfortunately
not unfortunately, fortunately, this was not as hectic a week
as we have been encountering in the last few weeks.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
No, I think it's been less crazy. But speaking so,
we were just going for mental illness, did you hear.
I'm a little pissed with this. I think so you
and I I think we're on the same page that
we think that people that are in Congress or in
any type of service should be working for the peace people.
And that means sometimes reaching across the aisle, working together,
or I'll give a little something this time, you give
(07:05):
a little something that time, and whatever's best for the
people gets done. Well. Now they're after Fettermen. His former
chief of staff says that he's concerned about him that
he's he's off the wall, his diet is bad, he's
not taken his medication. And it's all because, you know,
we talked about the Democrats. They have to do everything
(07:26):
out in public. They can't go behind. There's nothing wrong
with him. He's working across the aisle. You know, he
helped He helped the Republicans with the the Lake and Act.
He voted for ten. He approved ten cabinet appointees that
came through. You can't you can't say no to everything
(07:48):
or there's no impact. You know, like some people are
coming through, you might as well have them come through.
He went down to Maro a Lago to have a conversation.
He didn't feel like he really moved the needle all
that much, but he was worth the try. What's wrong
with that? He didn't but he didn't turn GOP. But
I'm a little disgusted by this. I'd like to know
if this former chief of staff was fired or he
(08:10):
left UH on his own accord?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
His Speederman the Congress Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yes, yes, with the yeah he had a stroke.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Did he have a stroke?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah? Yeah, And he admitted to put himself into the
hospital for his depression. He was in for several weeks,
came out, and he's been a gangster since he stepped out.
When he needed to, he went back in. He was
completely transparent, he didn't hide it. We've had certain generals
and other people you know that are in the spotlight
(08:46):
that didn't bother to tell us about big operations and stuff.
He told us all up front so everybody knew, and
came back only when he was ready. I like him.
I think he's really disgusted and has been very vocal
about angry he is with the way that Biden was
pushed out, with the way you know, and with the
way people just aren't doing anything. They're saying no just
(09:09):
to say no. He's also feels like we've been alarmists
because we scream about everything, and as he said, it's
like crying wolf. If we scream about everything and don't
just pick the really important things, you know, to stand
behind that and push, it's like crying with wolf. People.
They're not going to listen to us, and it's only
going to validate the crazy stuff this administration does. More.
(09:32):
I don't think that some of are some of the
leaders on the Democratic side like that too much.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Isn't that on purpose. Don't you think that that is
on purpose for them to cause all of that workers
and do all that hooping and collaring, so nothing has
more weight than the other ones. So it's like, oh
my god, that's there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is from
the Republican from the Republican side, that's what I see.
It's kind of like the school shootings. There's so many
(09:59):
that you'd be like, oh, oh my god, another one
when it should be like wow, you know exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And so that we've been talking about that, we've been
saying that since the two seas full seasons that we've
had together. It's pay attention to what's really important. Don't
be listening to the crazy mass nonsense, you know, of
what either the president himself says, because he's just throwing
(10:25):
stuff against the wall. He doesn't. Everybody thinks that all
these one hundred and something executive orders, they've all they've
all been enacted. No, they still have to go through Congress.
He's only got four or five things through. He can
put it all out, but he still has to at
some point, you know, somebody, because we have checks and
balances in our system. So I was disappointed about the
(10:48):
Fetterman thing, because I just think he's a good guy
and he seems to be very transparent, willing to work,
willing to put some of his his interest aside as
long as it's good for the people. So I was
disappointed with them.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
That is what politicians are supposed to do. Unfortunately, we
got a whole new group of politicians that are very
self serving period period. But this is this is where
we are right now in our country. Oh, Bobby, you
know they're having a count. They're doing the concret vote
right now to induct a new pope.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
They are and so far nothing today.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So I'll have to be black guy. I thought the
black guy who was running. I thought he was the
front runner. But listen, no, we don't want him.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
We don't because when they come from Africa, a Haiti,
they tend to be really into the Bible, Like if
it's the gentleman, I believe we're in the same thing.
He thinks that gay should be put in jail. He
thinks he's he'd be going. He's the most conservative. They're
the most conservative. They take everything as black and white.
There's no interpretation, whereas for instance, wait.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
A minute, hold on, was that a racist statement. They
take everything is black and white.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No, No, I think it's where they come from. Like
they're so little, and I think they read and they
instead of Francis Is. He said that God has never
created anything that wasn't perfect and just the way he
wanted it. So how could something be illegal or wrong
or we might not understand it. But so I think
(12:23):
this particular the pope that you're excuse me, the cardinal
you're speaking of, I think he's the one that is real.
They call it a traditionalist, so I think he'd be
bringing us back. We're looking for somebody that's that's more progressive.
That's what I'm looking for, not where. I'm looking for
somebody that he doesn't think women should have anything to
(12:43):
do with any type of power, nothing but like wash
your feet, like you know, he thinks women are down.
Francis didn't. He said the only way things get done
is as a woman. That's how you get something done correctly.
He was speaking about the hospital over there, how they
ran the hospital. We need that.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Well. I know they have four votes today and they
have not elected a pope as of yet. It's going
to be interesting to see who they picked because like
you said about Paul Francis, he sell people. He saw people,
not your color, not your what, your ideology, not your sexuality.
He saw people. So hopefully, especially in this climate that
we're living in America right now, we will get somebody
(13:22):
who also sees people now here we go, so we'll
see how that turns out.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I have my fingers, my fingers and my toast crossed
because it's a political. It's still was a political role,
even though people say it's not. And I just don't
want what's happening around, what's happening now to influence it
at all. I'm stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Speaking of pope, did you see Trump released AI generated
picture of him dressed as the Pope?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yes, I did, and.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
At all they were dragging him from front to back.
I'm like, oh, don't please put that on. That is
just the complete opposite of what a pope is.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
He thinks he would be a good one, a poop.
They were asking on the Sunday shows. They asked one
of our American cardinals that's over there, you know, for
the conclave.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
They stayed.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
They obviously went for the Pope's services, and then they
stayed for the conclave. And they said, what you know,
what are people thinking thinking over there? And of course
they always have to be really careful with what they say,
and they just said they thought it was completely distasteful,
especially something that was not Catholic, who probably never went
to church. He was sitting there eating candy or gum
or something, laying on his phone or asleep or sleep
(14:43):
and wearing the wrong color. The only thing I can
think is how clever is he? Because as I said,
when they panned, when they had the drones up and
they were panning the audience, he stuck up like a
sausam because everybody else had black on and then there's blue.
So oh, I thought it, you know myself, I thought,
but again, he likes to distract, he likes to break
(15:05):
the norm. I am sure he wore that blue suit
on purpose, just because he was told to wear black,
because everybody else will.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You're so funny, Bob, you said he stuck out like
a swor thumb. I bet you he did. Wish it
stick out like a sower thumb, because from what stormy sentence,
then you'll say it it don't stick out at all.
It's like a.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Navel, And thought, bless, I loved his wife when she
was like and I thought the whole time she must
be saying that son of a bitch child like it's
stuck it with him. Take me with you, Francis, take
me with you. Did you see that Marjorie Taylor Green
is now talking about running either for the governor or
(15:43):
the Senate. Now, they say, the talking heads, whether this
is true or not. In her little localized area, she
can get elected, but she has no chance of at
least they were speaking just about the Senate, not not
the governor, of winning the winning a Senate seat. So
they're like, let her run, Let her run.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I don't think that she would win as governor either.
And I know Georgia has turned blue, but Madre Taylor
Green has left such a terrible taste even in her
own party's mouth, because some of the distasteful things that
she has seen, especially in these last year, in the
last year or two, but in the last three months
since Trump has become in office, she has become a
(16:22):
loose cannon and will say anything disrespect to foreign reporters,
be little other people's countries. She is barbaric. And I'm
like you, Bobby, I hope she runs, because that means
she will give up her Congress seat, not win the
other seat, and hopefully disappear.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, she she when the pope when the Pope passed away,
because I'm thinking, who makes comments like this? He doesn't
have to be a religion. He's just one of the
It's like the Dalai Lama. He is not. He's not
my religion. But I have complete respect for people who
you know, who are in service for their own and
try to do well by the people. But he said
(17:00):
evil as being She said, evil is being defeated by
the hand of God. Regarding the Pope staff she she
referred to the pope as evil. Who does that? Like
she's nuts? So yeah, I don't think. I think. I
don't think she's going to do very well.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Trumps again, since Trump has won all of her cheesecloth,
anything that was blocking her from being who she really
is has been removed. So now she is exactly. She
is just a nightmare on wheels with bad blonde with
a bad bloody bleached blonde bad.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
She nearly is, but but she's she's You better watch
out because I think he's going to do some cleanup.
So we had Signal Gate two. As we know, we
talked about that last week. But now all of a sudden,
since Mike Wallas is no longer going to be the
National Security Advisor, Rubio is going to have another hat
to put on. God bless, We'll have to get him
(18:00):
some roller skates or something so we can he can
nip from office to office to office. He's not going
to be he got a step down walls. He's going
to have an ambassadorship. I don't know. If you can't
do one, should you be trusted to do the other?
I don't know, But so Marjorie Taylor Green, you know
(18:21):
you might be. You might be the scooper pooper for
the dog patrol if you keep it up, so don't
get too crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I'm with that. And I like for her use her
bare hands when she does it, please and sneeze and
like and have the sneeze and blow a nose at
the same time. You know, Bobby, these tariffs are coming
in and the terrafs that have affected everyone, they just
hit me personally because you know, I order my fans
(18:49):
from China, right, and for a thousand fans, it used
to cost me about three thousand, maybe thirty one hundred
dollars and a little change to order a thousand fans
with the shipping is now passed fifty five hundred dollars.
And I don't want to raise the price of the fans,
but unfortunately, if iut order.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
You're gonna have to You're gonna.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Have to have to. You know.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Now, let me ask you this, he said something about
So that was the other thing on Kristen Welker on
the and you guys, she's got the full because she
had on on her show this week. She had the interview,
but I guess it was longer than what she actually
had and she said she has it. It's all up
on their on their website. She asked him about the tariffs.
(19:36):
He is steadfast that now he's he's not removing anything,
it's not lowering anything, especially with China. I did read
that on the CNN the Daily thing that came out
that if anything, and I think this has more to
do with Temu, if your orders are less than eight
(19:56):
hundred dollars, that you won't face those type of those
type of tariffs. That said, because you know so many,
so many lower and middle income people use that site
for cheap products, could you, I don't know, could you
break your orders up or would it be too expensive
to try to beat it. I'm trying to think of
(20:17):
a back door, something you might want to put in
your back pocket and think about later. You know, could
you instead of doing one big order, could you do
a bunch of small ones and maybe you'll you'll beat
the tariff.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
But he's not backing down a flame. He is steadfast
and he's keeping these tariffs and they should stay for
all time. And we don't need anything from Canada, he said.
We don't need their energy, we don't need their lumber,
we don't need their pharmaceuticals. He didn't mention pharmaceuticals. That's
but another thing that we get there. And we absolutely
don't want their cars. We're bringing everything here. He made.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
He almost sounded like Marie and Toinette would let them
eat cake. Because the comment he made I thought was
so insensitive and so stupid, and you're saying it to
the million the middle class who have paid everything. But
he made a comment about dolls. He said, well, instead
of a little loving year rolls having thirty dollars, what
could you imagine we were lucky to get one doll
(21:18):
thirty dollars I.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Would like to give a shout out to Mark Karney,
the elected official over in Canada, because he came to
the White House, he met with Trump. He was very professional,
he was very presidential, let me say that. And he stood,
he stood ten tones down on letting Donald Trump know that, No,
Canada will not be the fifty first state. No Canada
will not even entertain that. He's still right there in
(21:41):
front of all the cameras that let him know that,
and so will never say never. Trump really tries to
downplay anything. As someone else says, it's so disrespectful to
other world leaders. Bobby, and I'm telling you, these are
things that wars are created off of those kind of comments,
those kind of states, especially in the public eye.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Well, he talked bet it with Kristin Walker and he
said what he was. He said, we subsidized them to
the tune of and he he cites, you know, a
gazillion dollars whatever it is, because I don't and I'm
not I'm not repeating it because I don't. He only
said it. I couldn't fact check it and find the
information myself, so it's not worth it's not worth repeating,
(22:21):
you know anything we talk about on this. We've gone
through CNN, We've gone through all of the news sites.
We don't like just state something without without being able
to vet it. And I wasn't able to vet the amount.
And he said, you know, they pay the least to
be a NATO. They they pay the least for any
type of defense, he said, and why should we be
(22:41):
we be subsidizing them? And I got a little nervous.
I'm like, they really do use their different I mean,
they have their own defense, but they really do rely
on us. And I'm thinking, is that a threat? It's
not like a backhanded At this time, they hadn't met yet.
He said that Mark Carney wanted to meet with him
(23:02):
over the next week or two. Obviously that already happened,
and he made it perfectly and abundantly clear Mark that
that they absolutely weren't going to be the fifty first date.
But he's like, it will be so much cheaper for us,
like it's a different country. Why I just can't even
(23:22):
But so he said about the dolls, there was no
reason for the eleven year old to have thirty dollars
still just have three that you know, are a little
more expensive. And I'm thinking, Okay, Marie Antoina. First of all,
maybe your daughter had thirty dollars. Nobody has. A lot
of these people can't even afford one doll and never
mind paying more money on the doll So I just
(23:45):
in that interview he was very flip floppy. He didn't
I shouldn't say flip floppy. He just didn't. He didn't
own anything. She kept trying to push or getting like
a yes or no answer, and he just he wouldn't
give it for anything. You know. She asked about the teriffs,
would they lower? Well, are they always going to remain? Well,
they won't always remain because you're not going to get
people to the temple. But yes, I am going to
(24:07):
keep them. You know, why would I take them down?
And things have been unfair? And they talked about the economy,
thank god, the jobs numbers. They didn't talk about that,
but they held steady. The Fed is not going to
reduce reduce the interest rates. They're holding steady because they're
just too nervous about stagflation. You know, the damage that
(24:33):
the tariffs can do, you know, things the inflation that's
already been going up. And of course he doesn't he
doesn't think much of Jerome Powell. Anyway, he's going to
wait until twenty twenty six and then he'll replace them.
And the unemployment rising still eight weeks still unemployed. So
I know how that feels. Yeah, But he just doesn't.
(24:57):
He doesn't do He doesn't own anything. Everything that's bad
it is Biden. Everything that's good is him.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
And those were no excuse, no excuses for the prices
of eggs going up, no excuses for groceries, no excuses
for gas, no excuses for the economy. Again, like you said,
bite is Biden's fault for everything which is not. But
it's just terrible, Bobby that we are stuck in this situation.
(25:24):
And again they.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Voted for this, they did, and he was I have
to say, there were a couple of things he was fibbing.
He said, the gas, he's got it so low. It's
a dollar ninety eight in some stance. Well, Kristin Walko
when she did come back, because I'm like, really, in
Massachusetts we usually have pretty I don't know if it's
because the ports come here, it's we usually a pretty
cheap gas. And she said in Maryland is the cheapest,
(25:48):
and it's two sixty two. It is not one ninety
eight or one ninety nine like he was saying.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
So that's all.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
He kept saying energy, energy, and she says, well, forget
about energy, what about their clothing? What about no energy
is the most important? She was asking him about small businesses.
They're saying they're gonna have to they're going to have
to close. While you know that's what about Why are
we talking about little small businesses? Why aren't we talking
about And he would just go on to something else
because he doesn't want to talk about it. He doesn't
(26:14):
want to admit the auto industry. He says that the
auto industry now loves him. They think he's the best.
I haven't heard that, but bless his little hot he
just pivots. He deflects some pivots and deflects some pivots,
and and I wouldn't that wouldn't bother me. Only we're
just not getting anything flame. You know, we're not getting
(26:36):
anything answered. You know, they had Christy Noan was was
at some sort of panel meeting and they were asking her, uh,
one of the reps was asking her, is everybody do
due process in the United States? And she just would
not answer. Well, this woman was shutting her down. I
(26:56):
don't recognize her. She was an African American rep. I
don't know what state she was from, because they just
showed this again, was on was on the Sunday shows,
and they were just showing how gno one would you
not answer it? And the woman just shut it down.
She goes, well, if you don't know, I'm gonna I'm
gonna say no. You don't believe that's true. They asked.
(27:16):
They asked Trump, is Kristin asd Trump this as well?
And he kept deflecting and saying, wow, I'm not an attorney. Well,
but everybody knows that you have to. You're supposed to
be a scholar on the Constitution. You don't have to
be an attorney, so you should be able to answer
that everybody is dudue process. He said, there'd be millions
and millions of court hearings. Okay, you know, the quot
(27:39):
hearing only has to be so many minutes. It doesn't
you could flow them through, but everybody and the people
might be right back out, you know, the quotes might
say no, you get no right to be here, but
everybody is due due to due process. So that was
I found that, like to be a little bit disappointing.
The tariffs, I buckle up everybody for Christmas. Everybody will
get a lump of cole and something else.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I don't know. I honestly believe Bobby in my own
as an American citizen for so many years. I ain't
gonna tell you how many years, but for so many years.
Then I think that they are going to revolutionize and
overturn the government because even people on his side, now
you know, he has let Hecseth just run amuck with
(28:26):
firing generals left and right. He has fired so many generals.
All of these qualified people are losing their positions, and
then they do it without thinking about it, and then
they have to bring them back. The FAA is in
such a fiasco right now. It actually went dark for
what a minute and a half the other day or
ninety seconds.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That's who's been out three months. That's his fault.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
But that is very scary. And I'm always on a plane,
so you don't know that that is in ninety seconds
is a lifetime when you're thirty thousand feet in the
air and you have no control over what is happening,
and those air traffics controllers all walked off the job
because they were under stressed. A lot of them walked
off understate. They claim it was understressed. I think it's
under the rest because because they're sick of the bs.
(29:10):
Oh that was a ram that was That.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Was a good one.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I a poet and didn't know it. Bobby Clifford. It is.
It's very scary how this is shaping up Bobby in
the country and until something really tragic, unfortunately happens and
a lot of people lose their lives on his under
his watch because of one of his foolish decisions that
he has made on the on the on the whim,
(29:36):
on the on the on the impulse. That's when people
are going to be like, no more, we can't do
this no more, because it's going to be when when
would they know there's going to be one of their
loved ones that's going to be affected well.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Or yourself. You know, it's you know, and it's it's
not that I'm so great, but you know, I'm a
caretaker and I have people that I'm responsible for, and
I have jobs that I'm responsible for for, and I
don't want to hop on a plane and be worried
that something because colms were cut out. I mean, and
here's the thing. You pay a fortune for these tickets.
It's not like the tickets are they're giving them away
(30:12):
for free. For the love of God, I remember, I
was going to California last year to see you. I
just because I'm arguing with the with the with the airline.
It was fifteen hundred dollars for the ticket. For fifteen
hundred dollars, I want, I want a direct line to
God about where exactly we should land. Yeah, this is
You're exactly right. It's crazy. He's just he's making he's
(30:35):
taking a lot of chances. And I and I don't
even think it's him as much as he just doesn't
have He just doesn't have a great group. You know,
this is very very This group is very different than
his last team. They're loyal, They're loyal to a fault.
There was a senator that was supposed to be on
(30:58):
with Chris Cuomo Kennedy no relation to the Kennedy family,
the presidential Kennedy family, and five minutes before they were
supposed to talk about they were supposed to talk about
something slightly controversial, he pulled out of coming onto the show.
Last night, and I'm thinking, that's how nervous they are
(31:19):
to worry about losing their shine with with with the
president or with his staff. It's it just seems absolutely crazy. Meanwhile,
we're losing Sesame Street and all these other great things.
Nobody's talking about.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
That from PVS. Yeah, and when you talked, when you
spoke about Lawrence Welk earlier, we watched Lawrence Welk on PVS.
We watched The Electric Company, we watched Sesame Street on PBS,
you know which. Those shows were very educational and they
were entertaining, especially as children. They were fun. But now
you're going to take all of this away because you
(31:54):
want to push this Christian nationalist education on everybody so
that they would praise a picture of you. Since you
try to make your birthday a national holiday. Who gives
a damn it is? It is beyond repair, Bobby, to me,
at this point, it's going to take two lifetimes to
fix the damage that this man is doing.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
It's I mean he's talking about he's I mean that
that's what he wants to get rid of the PBS money.
He wants to now to go back to the tariffs
for a second. Sorry, to jump around everybody. He wants
to now put one hundred percent tariff on foreign but
no real directive on foreign movies. Is it movies that
we're we're filming that are foreign? You know, if you
(32:35):
have Emily in Paris, she kind of has to be
in Paris, it doesn't you know, she caught be in Paris, Texas.
Is it the films that we give out? Like I
know he was complaining that we were giving PBS shows
over to the Middle East. Well, the reason we were
doing it is we're teaching these people how to speak English.
(32:56):
We're showing them exactly who we are, so they understand
what Americans are. There was a method to the madness.
It's not that we're trying to just necessarily give them
free We want to see yet we're good people. It's
like you know, when you're training a dog, you're oversaturating
the and this with sweet stuff so that they kind
of love you. Same type of things, so they realize
we're not big and scary because the information that they
(33:19):
get is that the Americans are big and scary. Although
right now I feel like we are big and scary.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yeah, well we're more scared. They're they're bigger, and we're scary,
because that's how I look at it. Because all you
have to do is challenge him and stand up to him.
Thank you to the governor of Maine who stood out
to him, took his but the court won her case
and won all her federal funding for her state. For you,
(33:47):
that's all you have to do is challenge him. But
everybody is putting their tail between their lades because they're
afraid of losing their situation or losing their livelihood and
running for the heels. And this is where we are.
Where we are.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, she was Janet Mills. She was He was punishing her,
and he took away her head start money, you know,
breakfast for the kids, like all sorts of federal funding
for her, for her the most the weakest and most
marginalized groups. Because she stood beside the trans athletes because
I think she has two in her state and she
(34:20):
wanted them to be able to to compete, you know.
And his flame stance has always been, Okay, let's make
a safe place for these kids to compete. He could
come up with this, but so anyway, she she brought
him to court and she won, So she's getting her
(34:41):
money back. And then he does back off. I will
notice when somebody says no and they prove it. He
was just that kid that like pulled the fire alarm,
you know, to see what would happen. Like, you know,
he's just a he's a distractor and a disruptor, and
he wants to see what happens. But when it he's
proven that he can't have something he saw a little,
but he usually does back off. But it's going to
(35:03):
cost us in the meantime. It's going to cost us
a fortune. And I did see speaking about TRANS, I
was devastated. I still haven't gone through the entire ruling,
but that the Supreme Court, you know, there was a
setback with the TRANS service members that they they've sort
of sided with Trump on that they're going to go
(35:26):
through everything. And I don't think they've given us complete
details yet. But uh, you know, we're desperate for people
in the military. I don't care if you want to
sit and hold a gun and stand on a wall
and protect me, I'll give you anything you want. I
don't care what you're wearing, what you're doing, what you
what you're what happens behind closed doors. It's not my
business as long as you're standing on that wall when
(35:47):
I need you.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Yeah, we are. We are in a very very crunch
time of situation in a crisis. Bobby. Oh, I'm at
ninety percent. It's just like you, Bobby. I'm doing very
good tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Ooh, we should play the lottery. He wants to open Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Uh, yes, I do see that. And I'm hoping that
if he does get a chance to open Alcatraz, that
he goes in as the first uh inmate of Alcatraz.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Oh my god, because he wants to put the sickest said, well,
you know what, build build a You kn't go there.
They couldn't get in, They couldn't get out. They couldn't
get families in, you know, they couldn't. It's it's it's awful.
They used to have backing up toilets and stuff because
the ocean the tides switched, like, no, it's out. It
was out for a reason. Build a building and call
(36:41):
it Alcatraz too or something. But I'm like, you're going
to spend a billion dollars. We keep one of wanting
to get rid of fraud abuse, you know, and be
fiscally responsible. That's what the GOP is known for as
being physically responsible that is not fiscally responsible. I think
it's a museum now, for the love of God, to
begin with, I can't even you know, it's I think
(37:06):
it operated only for thirty years. Uh, and it's supposed
to be escape proof, although there is some movie about
some guy, some conspiracy guy that got through.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
But anyway, that's his newest lame brain. But see he
talks about this and then what what are we not
talking about all of the other stuff. See, we're giving
even credence to it, and we're not talking about all
the other stuff. And that's sort of his that's sort
of his jam. I think he's uh, he's he's like
a level like a fox. Are crazy like a fox.
(37:36):
He knows what he's doing. I'm kind of with Bill Maher.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I'll take the crazy over the clever.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah. Like Bill Maher said, he goes there is not
an insane person after he had met had gone to
that dinner in the White House. There's a man who
pretends to be insane in the White House. You know. So,
but they will say the immigration, the numbers on the border,
he's got those down to the lowest state bed in history.
(38:06):
But the deportations, We've got to figure that out. Because
as far as I know that that man that was
sent that Garza Garcia that was sent to l Salvador,
that Scotis said facilitate his ride back, he was just
talking about he has no intention so because he wants
to see what kind of power Scotus has and who's
(38:28):
going to make him bring him back.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah, and that man is still over there and the
man is innocent. It's a hoopla. How about who? Because
they just he just signed the bill last executive orders
supposed he hasn't went through last week saying that they
can arrest the police has the power to arrest any
American citizen, anybody and just deport them to a foreign prison.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
And you know it's not going to go through.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
It, It's no, it's not going to go through. But
just to say something like that is preposterous. Bobby, it is,
it is, it.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Absolutely is, you know what must be absolutely has his
his butt cheeks clenched. That Pence got the Kennedy Profile
and Courage Award. He got it this past week Caroline
Kennedy and her her son Jack Splashburg. He gave it
to him because of January sixth, and because of his
(39:21):
you know, his bravery and actually pushing that through not
only was just his job, but knowing actually what was
going on the outside. And I am sure that made
him bananas.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Yeah, Bobby, we are in for a Wayne thing due
to of a ride. But I'm telling you something right now.
We're gonna keep you out the breast over here on
that and learn what is the next subject we're going
to talk about, Bob.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Because we love this short Yeah, no, no, it's not
even short. It's the it's the the next and the
last you saw that the that uh, the Lensky and
President Trump spoke at to see uh at the Pope
services that they signed GOP on the mineral deal. If
(40:03):
I don't see anything happening, there have still been bombings
et cetera, et cetera over there, you know, And we
need these minerals because it's it. There's all sorts of electronics,
so it's really important. So it's good. So now we
kind of have a little skin in the game to
protect them. But I just don't see Putin shut he's
shutting down. Unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Well, I think that Putin had the giving and I
hate that he had too to give in to trust. Yeah,
I mean Zelensky, because he was really trying to hold
on to you know, those minerals for his country.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah, and well he wanted to, Yeah, he wanted to.
He wanted it to sort of be a you know,
a fear, a kind of a level playing field. But
he also needs the he needs our protection. And you know,
I feel badly for him too, but sometimes you do
have to play a game. He's a true leader. We
we talked about this already, but God, when when he
was at the Pope Services Zelensky walked in, the people
(41:02):
went wild because he absolutely is just such a good man.
And yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
What did they do when President Trump walked in?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Silence? Nothing, no one boot or anything. But there was
absolute silence. There was there was nothing.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
There's a word for that, Bobby, It's called crickets.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
That's it. Well, there were there were really I didn't
even know. I got to be honest, I don't even
know there were crickets, Like there was even the crickets
were quiet. They didn't they didn't say a flip and thing.
So and that has to drive him crazy because you know,
that's the one thing, the one thing that he absolutely
loves is to be loved, you know, and I lied
to you. Do you know what?
Speaker 3 (41:43):
The do you know what?
Speaker 2 (41:44):
The last thing I want to talk about, because I
want to get your opinion from this, is that the
MET gala. This has nothing to do with politics. It's
just me being a nosy Bach. The MET Gala was
this week. Who did you think was terrific?
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Okay, well, of course, without question, my number one diva,
the number one diva in the world, Dinah Ross came
and completely shut the whole red carpet down with the
coach that covered the whole massive stairs. The covi was
eighteen feet but there was so many different fantastic looks
Bobby and it was one another. I'm telling you, they
(42:17):
came all out, went all that. It was so many people.
I was impressed by. Ross is gonna always be my
alternate number one no matter what she does. She could
do no wrong. But it was so many good looks Bobby,
women and men, and the men really dressed up and
went all out. It was it was tailored towards the
black the black men's fashion of the black master of
(42:39):
a certain era like nineteen twenties, I think, or nineteen forties.
But they really really understood the assignment. And I love
to see everybody dressed up and went crazy. Nicki Minaj,
Janelle Money. I loved her. Look, oh my god, it
was Jee Roberts.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Roberts like she was she she was down, like she
let the real big stars shine, you know, because she's
a newscaster. But she had she had the hat, she
had the suit that was like that skimmed her body.
She is well into her sixties, if not seventy, and
her body is terrific.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
And Kim kardash had a hat on that I just
want to call your hats if I can borrow. I
wasn't that crazy about the dress, but that hat did
it for me. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
I have to be honest with you, because a lot
of times I don't understand them. I think that this
particular subject matter was easier for everybody to understand. I
can honestly tell you there wasn't anything I saw that
I didn't like. You know, sometimes you go I might
not have liked it as other pieces, but I thought
all of them pretty much fit what it was supposed
(43:47):
to be on their interpretation, I thought, And you'd never
think I would say this because she just says a
different style than me. I loved what they what they
put on Wooie Goldberg and let me tell you is
working for us. You look terrific.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
Yeah. I loved Whoopy's look. I did. I did, Yeah,
I mean I.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
Was really There really wasn't anything that I wasn't that
I wasn't crazy about Zendai. I'm beautiful.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
She looked at the I think that then she actually
looked like Danna Ross on the movie Hogany. And you know,
Netflix is about to do a biopic on Diana Ross.
Do not be surprised if that wasn't a brig crumb
leading up to the Big Forest. I'm telling you, I'm
looking forward to it.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
It could be only she's so much taller. But that's
all right. They've had the actors that are so much
bigger and smaller, and they'll figure it out. She's a
gorgeous girl to begin with. But yeah, there wasn't There
wasn't a one that I didn't that I looked to
my if what were they thinking? You know? Sometimes, oh
my god? And I loved there was drama, you know,
several of them had the coats taken off, right, a
(44:52):
couple of guys too, and they showed what was underneath
and and what was underneath was wasn't as bad either
for some of them. The overcode itself was terrific. To me,
that was like the best part, But I really enjoyed it.
Sorry to make you talk about that again, but I
just I was like, Oh, I'm dying to see what
she thinks.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Oh we were in Bozeman, Montana and Massoula, Montana. Great
great people over in Bozeman and in Massoula. I am
not changing votes, but I'm damn sure changing man's and ideologies.
Those people were great. They spend plenty of money on fans.
I had a fantastic time. Thank you Tiffany Hadis on
this funny and feelss too. With me and Barbara Carlisle,
(02:42):
we are having the best time. Tomorrow, we're going to
North Dakota. I never thought I would go to North
Dakota in my whole lifetime, but we will be in Bizmarck,
North Dakota, on Saturday and Fargo, North Dakota on Friday.
So go to Tiffany Haddis dot com for tickets. We're
doing two casinos. Don't ask me the name as I
don't know. On a liner note, I'm also looking to move,
(03:03):
so it's been a challenging. It's been hard week. My
daughter's going to prom. I'm still trying to get making
sure we get Sad season five. It's a lot going on.
But outside of that, Bob, we want to acknowledge the
passing of a great comedian, a great lady, a funny, funny,
funny woman who had been in show business for many,
many years, the late great Ruth Buzzy. Yes that what
(03:25):
was she ninety eight or eighteen?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
She was eighty eight and she died of which I
think is because I might belove it, Auntie Barbara died
of Alzheimer's. She died of Alzheimer's I think one of
the most degrading diseases. It seems to it seems to
attack the people who were the sharpest and quickest, And
you know, my aunt was a history teacher, and I
just it's an awful way to go out. So I
(03:48):
hope her transition was smooth and God bless you on
the other side.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And if you don't know who Ruth Buzzy was, please
do your research and google. This woman was on so
many different shows from sixties to maybe the late nineties,
hysterically funny, worked with some of the all time greats,
all time greats, and she played off that. They said
that she was not an attractive woman, so she used
(04:12):
that to her advantage and played off of that and
was hysterically funny. Good God.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
She wasn't classically, but she was. She really was pretty sure,
beautiful eyes and hair, and she just wasn't a classic.
She had a more ethnic nose and that kind of
that kind of throws people. I'm trying to think, Oh
my god, what was that show with Goldie Han.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
And laugh laughing.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah, she was. She was hysterical.
She was a great actress, a bigh philanthropist, God bless you.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
And she was the one who we used to take
the big power puffer said make up and hit them
people in the face with ha. She was hilarious. Ruth
buzzy baby, rest in peace, Ruth Buzzy.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That's what. That's what back what we're dating ourselves. That's
back when we had variety shows and shows like when
we were little kids.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And Lawrence, well, I seen that on the internet. I
wasn't around me and girl, stop it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Pants on via. We used to sit with them on
a Saturday. My mother would make a big thing of
popcorn before it was microwave popcorn, and uh, we'd watch
Lawrence Welk and we'd watched everybody dance and all the
gorgeous costumes and that was so wonderful, and then Laughin
would come on, and you know, there was only we
only get to watch a little bit of that because
(05:26):
my mother thought it was racy.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Felt confession, Yes, Lawrence Welke. I did not watch for
the accordion or for his boring ass, but I did
watch for the gowns because they did used to wear
gowns or Lawrence well, and they used to wear the
big be half hair.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And that's what Actually, it's funny. That's actually because people
loved they loved the show. It was at the top
of you know, it's popularity. But the problem was is
that it costs so much. They didn't have to wear
a down for every song, every song that came in,
they had wear a different gown. So it was the
cost who's alone were outrageously expensive. But it was it
(06:03):
was fun. It was good, you know, honest, honest, uh
uh entertainment. I could I was going to say humor,
but it was that Lawrence Walk was entertainment lat and
I mean to think my mother thought that was racy
when you see what's on television now, you know we
could see Goldie Hawn's knees.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Different different times, pluse different times. Bobby, Okay, let's get
into the meat of the story because we're not going
to have a very long left to learn today, ladies
and gentlemen. We got stuff to do, and uh, unfortunately
not unfortunately, fortunately, this was not as hectic a week
as we have been encountering in the last few weeks.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
No, I think it's been less crazy. But speaking so,
we were just going for mental illness, did you hear.
I'm a little pissed with this. I think so you
and I I think we're on the same page that
we think that people that are in Congress or in
any type of service should be working for the peace people.
And that means sometimes reaching across the aisle, working together,
or I'll give a little something this time, you give
(07:05):
a little something that time, and whatever's best for the
people gets done. Well. Now they're after Fettermen. His former
chief of staff says that he's concerned about him that
he's he's off the wall, his diet is bad, he's
not taken his medication. And it's all because, you know,
we talked about the Democrats. They have to do everything
(07:26):
out in public. They can't go behind. There's nothing wrong
with him. He's working across the aisle. You know, he
helped He helped the Republicans with the the Lake and Act.
He voted for ten. He approved ten cabinet appointees that
came through. You can't you can't say no to everything
(07:48):
or there's no impact. You know, like some people are
coming through, you might as well have them come through.
He went down to Maro a Lago to have a conversation.
He didn't feel like he really moved the needle all
that much, but he was worth the try. What's wrong
with that? He didn't but he didn't turn GOP. But
I'm a little disgusted by this. I'd like to know
if this former chief of staff was fired or he
(08:10):
left UH on his own accord?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
His Speederman the Congress Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yes, yes, with the yeah he had a stroke.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Did he have a stroke?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah? Yeah, And he admitted to put himself into the
hospital for his depression. He was in for several weeks,
came out, and he's been a gangster since he stepped out.
When he needed to, he went back in. He was
completely transparent, he didn't hide it. We've had certain generals
and other people you know that are in the spotlight
(08:46):
that didn't bother to tell us about big operations and stuff.
He told us all up front so everybody knew, and
came back only when he was ready. I like him.
I think he's really disgusted and has been very vocal
about angry he is with the way that Biden was
pushed out, with the way you know, and with the
way people just aren't doing anything. They're saying no just
(09:09):
to say no. He's also feels like we've been alarmists
because we scream about everything, and as he said, it's
like crying wolf. If we scream about everything and don't
just pick the really important things, you know, to stand
behind that and push, it's like crying with wolf. People.
They're not going to listen to us, and it's only
going to validate the crazy stuff this administration does. More.
(09:32):
I don't think that some of are some of the
leaders on the Democratic side like that too much.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Isn't that on purpose. Don't you think that that is
on purpose for them to cause all of that workers
and do all that hooping and collaring, so nothing has
more weight than the other ones. So it's like, oh
my god, that's there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is from
the Republican from the Republican side, that's what I see.
It's kind of like the school shootings. There's so many
(09:59):
that you'd be like, oh, oh my god, another one
when it should be like wow, you know exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And so that we've been talking about that, we've been
saying that since the two seas full seasons that we've
had together. It's pay attention to what's really important. Don't
be listening to the crazy mass nonsense, you know, of
what either the president himself says, because he's just throwing
(10:25):
stuff against the wall. He doesn't. Everybody thinks that all
these one hundred and something executive orders, they've all they've
all been enacted. No, they still have to go through Congress.
He's only got four or five things through. He can
put it all out, but he still has to at
some point, you know, somebody, because we have checks and
balances in our system. So I was disappointed about the
(10:48):
Fetterman thing, because I just think he's a good guy
and he seems to be very transparent, willing to work,
willing to put some of his his interest aside as
long as it's good for the people. So I was
disappointed with them.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
That is what politicians are supposed to do. Unfortunately, we
got a whole new group of politicians that are very
self serving period period. But this is this is where
we are right now in our country. Oh, Bobby, you
know they're having a count. They're doing the concret vote
right now to induct a new pope.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
They are and so far nothing today.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So I'll have to be black guy. I thought the
black guy who was running. I thought he was the
front runner. But listen, no, we don't want him.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
We don't because when they come from Africa, a Haiti,
they tend to be really into the Bible, Like if
it's the gentleman, I believe we're in the same thing.
He thinks that gay should be put in jail. He
thinks he's he'd be going. He's the most conservative. They're
the most conservative. They take everything as black and white.
There's no interpretation, whereas for instance, wait.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
A minute, hold on, was that a racist statement. They
take everything is black and white.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No, No, I think it's where they come from. Like
they're so little, and I think they read and they
instead of Francis Is. He said that God has never
created anything that wasn't perfect and just the way he
wanted it. So how could something be illegal or wrong
or we might not understand it. But so I think
(12:23):
this particular the pope that you're excuse me, the cardinal
you're speaking of, I think he's the one that is real.
They call it a traditionalist, so I think he'd be
bringing us back. We're looking for somebody that's that's more progressive.
That's what I'm looking for, not where. I'm looking for
somebody that he doesn't think women should have anything to
(12:43):
do with any type of power, nothing but like wash
your feet, like you know, he thinks women are down.
Francis didn't. He said the only way things get done
is as a woman. That's how you get something done correctly.
He was speaking about the hospital over there, how they
ran the hospital. We need that.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Well. I know they have four votes today and they
have not elected a pope as of yet. It's going
to be interesting to see who they picked because like
you said about Paul Francis, he sell people. He saw people,
not your color, not your what, your ideology, not your sexuality.
He saw people. So hopefully, especially in this climate that
we're living in America right now, we will get somebody
(13:22):
who also sees people now here we go, so we'll
see how that turns out.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I have my fingers, my fingers and my toast crossed
because it's a political. It's still was a political role,
even though people say it's not. And I just don't
want what's happening around, what's happening now to influence it
at all. I'm stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Speaking of pope, did you see Trump released AI generated
picture of him dressed as the Pope?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yes, I did, and.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
At all they were dragging him from front to back.
I'm like, oh, don't please put that on. That is
just the complete opposite of what a pope is.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
He thinks he would be a good one, a poop.
They were asking on the Sunday shows. They asked one
of our American cardinals that's over there, you know, for
the conclave.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
They stayed.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
They obviously went for the Pope's services, and then they
stayed for the conclave. And they said, what you know,
what are people thinking thinking over there? And of course
they always have to be really careful with what they say,
and they just said they thought it was completely distasteful,
especially something that was not Catholic, who probably never went
to church. He was sitting there eating candy or gum
or something, laying on his phone or asleep or sleep
(14:43):
and wearing the wrong color. The only thing I can
think is how clever is he? Because as I said,
when they panned, when they had the drones up and
they were panning the audience, he stuck up like a
sausam because everybody else had black on and then there's blue.
So oh, I thought it, you know myself, I thought,
but again, he likes to distract, he likes to break
(15:05):
the norm. I am sure he wore that blue suit
on purpose, just because he was told to wear black,
because everybody else will.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You're so funny, Bob, you said he stuck out like
a swor thumb. I bet you he did. Wish it
stick out like a sower thumb, because from what stormy sentence,
then you'll say it it don't stick out at all.
It's like a.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Navel, And thought, bless, I loved his wife when she
was like and I thought the whole time she must
be saying that son of a bitch child like it's
stuck it with him. Take me with you, Francis, take
me with you. Did you see that Marjorie Taylor Green
is now talking about running either for the governor or
(15:43):
the Senate. Now, they say, the talking heads, whether this
is true or not. In her little localized area, she
can get elected, but she has no chance of at
least they were speaking just about the Senate, not not
the governor, of winning the winning a Senate seat. So
they're like, let her run, Let her run.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I don't think that she would win as governor either.
And I know Georgia has turned blue, but Madre Taylor
Green has left such a terrible taste even in her
own party's mouth, because some of the distasteful things that
she has seen, especially in these last year, in the
last year or two, but in the last three months
since Trump has become in office, she has become a
(16:22):
loose cannon and will say anything disrespect to foreign reporters,
be little other people's countries. She is barbaric. And I'm
like you, Bobby, I hope she runs, because that means
she will give up her Congress seat, not win the
other seat, and hopefully disappear.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, she she when the pope when the Pope passed away,
because I'm thinking, who makes comments like this? He doesn't
have to be a religion. He's just one of the
It's like the Dalai Lama. He is not. He's not
my religion. But I have complete respect for people who
you know, who are in service for their own and
try to do well by the people. But he said
(17:00):
evil as being She said, evil is being defeated by
the hand of God. Regarding the Pope staff she she
referred to the pope as evil. Who does that? Like
she's nuts? So yeah, I don't think. I think. I
don't think she's going to do very well.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Trumps again, since Trump has won all of her cheesecloth,
anything that was blocking her from being who she really
is has been removed. So now she is exactly. She
is just a nightmare on wheels with bad blonde with
a bad bloody bleached blonde bad.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
She nearly is, but but she's she's You better watch
out because I think he's going to do some cleanup.
So we had Signal Gate two. As we know, we
talked about that last week. But now all of a sudden,
since Mike Wallas is no longer going to be the
National Security Advisor, Rubio is going to have another hat
to put on. God bless, We'll have to get him
(18:00):
some roller skates or something so we can he can
nip from office to office to office. He's not going
to be he got a step down walls. He's going
to have an ambassadorship. I don't know. If you can't
do one, should you be trusted to do the other?
I don't know, But so Marjorie Taylor Green, you know
(18:21):
you might be. You might be the scooper pooper for
the dog patrol if you keep it up, so don't
get too crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I'm with that. And I like for her use her
bare hands when she does it, please and sneeze and
like and have the sneeze and blow a nose at
the same time. You know, Bobby, these tariffs are coming
in and the terrafs that have affected everyone, they just
hit me personally because you know, I order my fans
(18:49):
from China, right, and for a thousand fans, it used
to cost me about three thousand, maybe thirty one hundred
dollars and a little change to order a thousand fans
with the shipping is now passed fifty five hundred dollars.
And I don't want to raise the price of the fans,
but unfortunately, if iut order.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
You're gonna have to You're gonna.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Have to have to. You know.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Now, let me ask you this, he said something about
So that was the other thing on Kristen Welker on
the and you guys, she's got the full because she
had on on her show this week. She had the interview,
but I guess it was longer than what she actually
had and she said she has it. It's all up
on their on their website. She asked him about the tariffs.
(19:36):
He is steadfast that now he's he's not removing anything,
it's not lowering anything, especially with China. I did read
that on the CNN the Daily thing that came out
that if anything, and I think this has more to
do with Temu, if your orders are less than eight
(19:56):
hundred dollars, that you won't face those type of those
type of tariffs. That said, because you know so many,
so many lower and middle income people use that site
for cheap products, could you, I don't know, could you
break your orders up or would it be too expensive
to try to beat it. I'm trying to think of
(20:17):
a back door, something you might want to put in
your back pocket and think about later. You know, could
you instead of doing one big order, could you do
a bunch of small ones and maybe you'll you'll beat
the tariff.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
But he's not backing down a flame. He is steadfast
and he's keeping these tariffs and they should stay for
all time. And we don't need anything from Canada, he said.
We don't need their energy, we don't need their lumber,
we don't need their pharmaceuticals. He didn't mention pharmaceuticals. That's
but another thing that we get there. And we absolutely
don't want their cars. We're bringing everything here. He made.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
He almost sounded like Marie and Toinette would let them
eat cake. Because the comment he made I thought was
so insensitive and so stupid, and you're saying it to
the million the middle class who have paid everything. But
he made a comment about dolls. He said, well, instead
of a little loving year rolls having thirty dollars, what
could you imagine we were lucky to get one doll
(21:18):
thirty dollars I.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Would like to give a shout out to Mark Karney,
the elected official over in Canada, because he came to
the White House, he met with Trump. He was very professional,
he was very presidential, let me say that. And he stood,
he stood ten tones down on letting Donald Trump know that, No,
Canada will not be the fifty first state. No Canada
will not even entertain that. He's still right there in
(21:41):
front of all the cameras that let him know that,
and so will never say never. Trump really tries to
downplay anything. As someone else says, it's so disrespectful to
other world leaders. Bobby, and I'm telling you, these are
things that wars are created off of those kind of comments,
those kind of states, especially in the public eye.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Well, he talked bet it with Kristin Walker and he
said what he was. He said, we subsidized them to
the tune of and he he cites, you know, a
gazillion dollars whatever it is, because I don't and I'm
not I'm not repeating it because I don't. He only
said it. I couldn't fact check it and find the
information myself, so it's not worth it's not worth repeating,
(22:21):
you know anything we talk about on this. We've gone
through CNN, We've gone through all of the news sites.
We don't like just state something without without being able
to vet it. And I wasn't able to vet the amount.
And he said, you know, they pay the least to
be a NATO. They they pay the least for any
type of defense, he said, and why should we be
(22:41):
we be subsidizing them? And I got a little nervous.
I'm like, they really do use their different I mean,
they have their own defense, but they really do rely
on us. And I'm thinking, is that a threat? It's
not like a backhanded At this time, they hadn't met yet.
He said that Mark Carney wanted to meet with him
(23:02):
over the next week or two. Obviously that already happened,
and he made it perfectly and abundantly clear Mark that
that they absolutely weren't going to be the fifty first date.
But he's like, it will be so much cheaper for us,
like it's a different country. Why I just can't even
(23:22):
But so he said about the dolls, there was no
reason for the eleven year old to have thirty dollars
still just have three that you know, are a little
more expensive. And I'm thinking, Okay, Marie Antoina. First of all,
maybe your daughter had thirty dollars. Nobody has. A lot
of these people can't even afford one doll and never
mind paying more money on the doll So I just
(23:45):
in that interview he was very flip floppy. He didn't
I shouldn't say flip floppy. He just didn't. He didn't
own anything. She kept trying to push or getting like
a yes or no answer, and he just he wouldn't
give it for anything. You know. She asked about the teriffs,
would they lower? Well, are they always going to remain? Well,
they won't always remain because you're not going to get
people to the temple. But yes, I am going to
(24:07):
keep them. You know, why would I take them down?
And things have been unfair? And they talked about the economy,
thank god, the jobs numbers. They didn't talk about that,
but they held steady. The Fed is not going to
reduce reduce the interest rates. They're holding steady because they're
just too nervous about stagflation. You know, the damage that
(24:33):
the tariffs can do, you know, things the inflation that's
already been going up. And of course he doesn't he
doesn't think much of Jerome Powell. Anyway, he's going to
wait until twenty twenty six and then he'll replace them.
And the unemployment rising still eight weeks still unemployed. So
I know how that feels. Yeah, But he just doesn't.
(24:57):
He doesn't do He doesn't own anything. Everything that's bad
it is Biden. Everything that's good is him.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
And those were no excuse, no excuses for the prices
of eggs going up, no excuses for groceries, no excuses
for gas, no excuses for the economy. Again, like you said,
bite is Biden's fault for everything which is not. But
it's just terrible, Bobby that we are stuck in this situation.
(25:24):
And again they.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Voted for this, they did, and he was I have
to say, there were a couple of things he was fibbing.
He said, the gas, he's got it so low. It's
a dollar ninety eight in some stance. Well, Kristin Walko
when she did come back, because I'm like, really, in
Massachusetts we usually have pretty I don't know if it's
because the ports come here, it's we usually a pretty
cheap gas. And she said in Maryland is the cheapest,
(25:48):
and it's two sixty two. It is not one ninety
eight or one ninety nine like he was saying.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
So that's all.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
He kept saying energy, energy, and she says, well, forget
about energy, what about their clothing? What about no energy
is the most important? She was asking him about small businesses.
They're saying they're gonna have to they're going to have
to close. While you know that's what about Why are
we talking about little small businesses? Why aren't we talking
about And he would just go on to something else
because he doesn't want to talk about it. He doesn't
(26:14):
want to admit the auto industry. He says that the
auto industry now loves him. They think he's the best.
I haven't heard that, but bless his little hot he
just pivots. He deflects some pivots and deflects some pivots,
and and I wouldn't that wouldn't bother me. Only we're
just not getting anything flame. You know, we're not getting
(26:36):
anything answered. You know, they had Christy Noan was was
at some sort of panel meeting and they were asking her, uh,
one of the reps was asking her, is everybody do
due process in the United States? And she just would
not answer. Well, this woman was shutting her down. I
(26:56):
don't recognize her. She was an African American rep. I
don't know what state she was from, because they just
showed this again, was on was on the Sunday shows,
and they were just showing how gno one would you
not answer it? And the woman just shut it down.
She goes, well, if you don't know, I'm gonna I'm
gonna say no. You don't believe that's true. They asked.
(27:16):
They asked Trump, is Kristin asd Trump this as well?
And he kept deflecting and saying, wow, I'm not an attorney. Well,
but everybody knows that you have to. You're supposed to
be a scholar on the Constitution. You don't have to
be an attorney, so you should be able to answer
that everybody is dudue process. He said, there'd be millions
and millions of court hearings. Okay, you know, the quot
(27:39):
hearing only has to be so many minutes. It doesn't
you could flow them through, but everybody and the people
might be right back out, you know, the quotes might
say no, you get no right to be here, but
everybody is due due to due process. So that was
I found that, like to be a little bit disappointing.
The tariffs, I buckle up everybody for Christmas. Everybody will
get a lump of cole and something else.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I don't know. I honestly believe Bobby in my own
as an American citizen for so many years. I ain't
gonna tell you how many years, but for so many years.
Then I think that they are going to revolutionize and
overturn the government because even people on his side, now
you know, he has let Hecseth just run amuck with
(28:26):
firing generals left and right. He has fired so many generals.
All of these qualified people are losing their positions, and
then they do it without thinking about it, and then
they have to bring them back. The FAA is in
such a fiasco right now. It actually went dark for
what a minute and a half the other day or
ninety seconds.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That's who's been out three months. That's his fault.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
But that is very scary. And I'm always on a plane,
so you don't know that that is in ninety seconds
is a lifetime when you're thirty thousand feet in the
air and you have no control over what is happening,
and those air traffics controllers all walked off the job
because they were under stressed. A lot of them walked
off understate. They claim it was understressed. I think it's
under the rest because because they're sick of the bs.
(29:10):
Oh that was a ram that was That.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Was a good one.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I a poet and didn't know it. Bobby Clifford. It is.
It's very scary how this is shaping up Bobby in
the country and until something really tragic, unfortunately happens and
a lot of people lose their lives on his under
his watch because of one of his foolish decisions that
he has made on the on the on the whim,
(29:36):
on the on the on the impulse. That's when people
are going to be like, no more, we can't do
this no more, because it's going to be when when
would they know there's going to be one of their
loved ones that's going to be affected well.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Or yourself. You know, it's you know, and it's it's
not that I'm so great, but you know, I'm a
caretaker and I have people that I'm responsible for, and
I have jobs that I'm responsible for for, and I
don't want to hop on a plane and be worried
that something because colms were cut out. I mean, and
here's the thing. You pay a fortune for these tickets.
It's not like the tickets are they're giving them away
(30:12):
for free. For the love of God, I remember, I
was going to California last year to see you. I
just because I'm arguing with the with the with the airline.
It was fifteen hundred dollars for the ticket. For fifteen
hundred dollars, I want, I want a direct line to
God about where exactly we should land. Yeah, this is
You're exactly right. It's crazy. He's just he's making he's
(30:35):
taking a lot of chances. And I and I don't
even think it's him as much as he just doesn't
have He just doesn't have a great group. You know,
this is very very This group is very different than
his last team. They're loyal, They're loyal to a fault.
There was a senator that was supposed to be on
(30:58):
with Chris Cuomo Kennedy no relation to the Kennedy family,
the presidential Kennedy family, and five minutes before they were
supposed to talk about they were supposed to talk about
something slightly controversial, he pulled out of coming onto the show.
Last night, and I'm thinking, that's how nervous they are
(31:19):
to worry about losing their shine with with with the
president or with his staff. It's it just seems absolutely crazy. Meanwhile,
we're losing Sesame Street and all these other great things.
Nobody's talking about.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
That from PVS. Yeah, and when you talked, when you
spoke about Lawrence Welk earlier, we watched Lawrence Welk on PVS.
We watched The Electric Company, we watched Sesame Street on PBS,
you know which. Those shows were very educational and they
were entertaining, especially as children. They were fun. But now
you're going to take all of this away because you
(31:54):
want to push this Christian nationalist education on everybody so
that they would praise a picture of you. Since you
try to make your birthday a national holiday. Who gives
a damn it is? It is beyond repair, Bobby, to me,
at this point, it's going to take two lifetimes to
fix the damage that this man is doing.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
It's I mean he's talking about he's I mean that
that's what he wants to get rid of the PBS money.
He wants to now to go back to the tariffs
for a second. Sorry, to jump around everybody. He wants
to now put one hundred percent tariff on foreign but
no real directive on foreign movies. Is it movies that
we're we're filming that are foreign? You know, if you
(32:35):
have Emily in Paris, she kind of has to be
in Paris, it doesn't you know, she caught be in Paris, Texas.
Is it the films that we give out? Like I
know he was complaining that we were giving PBS shows
over to the Middle East. Well, the reason we were
doing it is we're teaching these people how to speak English.
(32:56):
We're showing them exactly who we are, so they understand
what Americans are. There was a method to the madness.
It's not that we're trying to just necessarily give them
free We want to see yet we're good people. It's
like you know, when you're training a dog, you're oversaturating
the and this with sweet stuff so that they kind
of love you. Same type of things, so they realize
we're not big and scary because the information that they
(33:19):
get is that the Americans are big and scary. Although
right now I feel like we are big and scary.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yeah, well we're more scared. They're they're bigger, and we're scary,
because that's how I look at it. Because all you
have to do is challenge him and stand up to him.
Thank you to the governor of Maine who stood out
to him, took his but the court won her case
and won all her federal funding for her state. For you,
(33:47):
that's all you have to do is challenge him. But
everybody is putting their tail between their lades because they're
afraid of losing their situation or losing their livelihood and
running for the heels. And this is where we are.
Where we are.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, she was Janet Mills. She was He was punishing her,
and he took away her head start money, you know,
breakfast for the kids, like all sorts of federal funding
for her, for her the most the weakest and most
marginalized groups. Because she stood beside the trans athletes because
I think she has two in her state and she
(34:20):
wanted them to be able to to compete, you know.
And his flame stance has always been, Okay, let's make
a safe place for these kids to compete. He could
come up with this, but so anyway, she she brought
him to court and she won, So she's getting her
(34:41):
money back. And then he does back off. I will
notice when somebody says no and they prove it. He
was just that kid that like pulled the fire alarm,
you know, to see what would happen. Like, you know,
he's just a he's a distractor and a disruptor, and
he wants to see what happens. But when it he's
proven that he can't have something he saw a little,
but he usually does back off. But it's going to
(35:03):
cost us in the meantime. It's going to cost us
a fortune. And I did see speaking about TRANS, I
was devastated. I still haven't gone through the entire ruling,
but that the Supreme Court, you know, there was a
setback with the TRANS service members that they they've sort
of sided with Trump on that they're going to go
(35:26):
through everything. And I don't think they've given us complete
details yet. But uh, you know, we're desperate for people
in the military. I don't care if you want to
sit and hold a gun and stand on a wall
and protect me, I'll give you anything you want. I
don't care what you're wearing, what you're doing, what you
what you're what happens behind closed doors. It's not my
business as long as you're standing on that wall when
(35:47):
I need you.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Yeah, we are. We are in a very very crunch
time of situation in a crisis. Bobby. Oh, I'm at
ninety percent. It's just like you, Bobby. I'm doing very
good tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Ooh, we should play the lottery. He wants to open Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Uh, yes, I do see that. And I'm hoping that
if he does get a chance to open Alcatraz, that
he goes in as the first uh inmate of Alcatraz.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Oh my god, because he wants to put the sickest said, well,
you know what, build build a You kn't go there.
They couldn't get in, They couldn't get out. They couldn't
get families in, you know, they couldn't. It's it's it's awful.
They used to have backing up toilets and stuff because
the ocean the tides switched, like, no, it's out. It
was out for a reason. Build a building and call
(36:41):
it Alcatraz too or something. But I'm like, you're going
to spend a billion dollars. We keep one of wanting
to get rid of fraud abuse, you know, and be
fiscally responsible. That's what the GOP is known for as
being physically responsible that is not fiscally responsible. I think
it's a museum now, for the love of God, to
begin with, I can't even you know, it's I think
(37:06):
it operated only for thirty years. Uh, and it's supposed
to be escape proof, although there is some movie about
some guy, some conspiracy guy that got through.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
But anyway, that's his newest lame brain. But see he
talks about this and then what what are we not
talking about all of the other stuff. See, we're giving
even credence to it, and we're not talking about all
the other stuff. And that's sort of his that's sort
of his jam. I think he's uh, he's he's like
a level like a fox. Are crazy like a fox.
(37:36):
He knows what he's doing. I'm kind of with Bill Maher.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I'll take the crazy over the clever.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah. Like Bill Maher said, he goes there is not
an insane person after he had met had gone to
that dinner in the White House. There's a man who
pretends to be insane in the White House. You know. So,
but they will say the immigration, the numbers on the border,
he's got those down to the lowest state bed in history.
(38:06):
But the deportations, We've got to figure that out. Because
as far as I know that that man that was
sent that Garza Garcia that was sent to l Salvador,
that Scotis said facilitate his ride back, he was just
talking about he has no intention so because he wants
to see what kind of power Scotus has and who's
(38:28):
going to make him bring him back.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah, and that man is still over there and the
man is innocent. It's a hoopla. How about who? Because
they just he just signed the bill last executive orders
supposed he hasn't went through last week saying that they
can arrest the police has the power to arrest any
American citizen, anybody and just deport them to a foreign prison.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
And you know it's not going to go through.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
It, It's no, it's not going to go through. But
just to say something like that is preposterous. Bobby, it is,
it is, it.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Absolutely is, you know what must be absolutely has his
his butt cheeks clenched. That Pence got the Kennedy Profile
and Courage Award. He got it this past week Caroline
Kennedy and her her son Jack Splashburg. He gave it
to him because of January sixth, and because of his
(39:21):
you know, his bravery and actually pushing that through not
only was just his job, but knowing actually what was
going on the outside. And I am sure that made
him bananas.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Yeah, Bobby, we are in for a Wayne thing due
to of a ride. But I'm telling you something right now.
We're gonna keep you out the breast over here on
that and learn what is the next subject we're going
to talk about, Bob.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Because we love this short Yeah, no, no, it's not
even short. It's the it's the the next and the
last you saw that the that uh, the Lensky and
President Trump spoke at to see uh at the Pope
services that they signed GOP on the mineral deal. If
(40:03):
I don't see anything happening, there have still been bombings
et cetera, et cetera over there, you know, And we
need these minerals because it's it. There's all sorts of electronics,
so it's really important. So it's good. So now we
kind of have a little skin in the game to
protect them. But I just don't see Putin shut he's
shutting down. Unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Well, I think that Putin had the giving and I
hate that he had too to give in to trust. Yeah,
I mean Zelensky, because he was really trying to hold
on to you know, those minerals for his country.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah, and well he wanted to, Yeah, he wanted to.
He wanted it to sort of be a you know,
a fear, a kind of a level playing field. But
he also needs the he needs our protection. And you know,
I feel badly for him too, but sometimes you do
have to play a game. He's a true leader. We
we talked about this already, but God, when when he
was at the Pope Services Zelensky walked in, the people
(41:02):
went wild because he absolutely is just such a good man.
And yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
What did they do when President Trump walked in?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Silence? Nothing, no one boot or anything. But there was
absolute silence. There was there was nothing.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
There's a word for that, Bobby, It's called crickets.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
That's it. Well, there were there were really I didn't
even know. I got to be honest, I don't even
know there were crickets, Like there was even the crickets
were quiet. They didn't they didn't say a flip and thing.
So and that has to drive him crazy because you know,
that's the one thing, the one thing that he absolutely
loves is to be loved, you know, and I lied
to you. Do you know what?
Speaker 3 (41:43):
The do you know what?
Speaker 2 (41:44):
The last thing I want to talk about, because I
want to get your opinion from this, is that the
MET gala. This has nothing to do with politics. It's
just me being a nosy Bach. The MET Gala was
this week. Who did you think was terrific?
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Okay, well, of course, without question, my number one diva,
the number one diva in the world, Dinah Ross came
and completely shut the whole red carpet down with the
coach that covered the whole massive stairs. The covi was
eighteen feet but there was so many different fantastic looks
Bobby and it was one another. I'm telling you, they
(42:17):
came all out, went all that. It was so many people.
I was impressed by. Ross is gonna always be my
alternate number one no matter what she does. She could
do no wrong. But it was so many good looks Bobby,
women and men, and the men really dressed up and
went all out. It was it was tailored towards the
black the black men's fashion of the black master of
(42:39):
a certain era like nineteen twenties, I think, or nineteen forties.
But they really really understood the assignment. And I love
to see everybody dressed up and went crazy. Nicki Minaj,
Janelle Money. I loved her. Look, oh my god, it
was Jee Roberts.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Roberts like she was she she was down, like she
let the real big stars shine, you know, because she's
a newscaster. But she had she had the hat, she
had the suit that was like that skimmed her body.
She is well into her sixties, if not seventy, and
her body is terrific.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
And Kim kardash had a hat on that I just
want to call your hats if I can borrow. I
wasn't that crazy about the dress, but that hat did
it for me. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
I have to be honest with you, because a lot
of times I don't understand them. I think that this
particular subject matter was easier for everybody to understand. I
can honestly tell you there wasn't anything I saw that
I didn't like. You know, sometimes you go I might
not have liked it as other pieces, but I thought
all of them pretty much fit what it was supposed
(43:47):
to be on their interpretation, I thought, And you'd never
think I would say this because she just says a
different style than me. I loved what they what they
put on Wooie Goldberg and let me tell you is
working for us. You look terrific.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
Yeah. I loved Whoopy's look. I did. I did, Yeah,
I mean I.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
Was really There really wasn't anything that I wasn't that
I wasn't crazy about Zendai. I'm beautiful.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
She looked at the I think that then she actually
looked like Danna Ross on the movie Hogany. And you know,
Netflix is about to do a biopic on Diana Ross.
Do not be surprised if that wasn't a brig crumb
leading up to the Big Forest. I'm telling you, I'm
looking forward to it.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
It could be only she's so much taller. But that's
all right. They've had the actors that are so much
bigger and smaller, and they'll figure it out. She's a
gorgeous girl to begin with. But yeah, there wasn't There
wasn't a one that I didn't that I looked to
my if what were they thinking? You know? Sometimes, oh
my god? And I loved there was drama, you know,
several of them had the coats taken off, right, a
(44:52):
couple of guys too, and they showed what was underneath
and and what was underneath was wasn't as bad either
for some of them. The overcode itself was terrific. To me,
that was like the best part, But I really enjoyed it.
Sorry to make you talk about that again, but I
just I was like, Oh, I'm dying to see what
she thinks.
