Speaker 4 (03:36):
Well.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
The first thing I want to say is it's Memorial Day.
So happy Memorial Day for everybody, for all of our
soldiers out there, especially those the families who were left behind.
Are you doing anything special?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I'm a barbecue. If I can afford it because the
price of meat is ridiculous. I've been looking for my
old girls that I've been looking for my old gurdlers
that I used to borrow me. But I can't it.
And I thank you Bobby for saying that, because in
the black community, I'm going to say this at a
(04:10):
lot of youngsters don't know what Memorial Day is. They
think it's just to barbecue or to celebrate the how
they don't know that we are celebrating soldiers, past president
and future who have put up their time in their
life and some have given the ultimate sacrifice, which is
their lives for this country. So this is a time
of remembrance for all the soldiers. My father was in
(04:30):
the Navy, so may he rest in peace. But thank
you for your service. And again, thank you all for
your service, what past president and future, because that's what
Memorial Day is about. It's about soldiers and falling or
you know, they're still working right now in the military.
So yeah, thank you for acknowledging it and.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Their families because their families absolutely take the hit, just
like the jail.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, they sacrifice, they really.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I mean, they really do. Financial I mean, they really

Speaker 3 (05:56):
So yeah, good, I'm good at hitting hitting? Is it
hitt and quit? Is that the expression? I bet you're
a master? Do you know something that happened here in
Massachusetts was so your mass is our public school system.
Here you mass Dartmouth graduation a billionaire Rob Hale. I
(06:17):
believe he gave the commencement speech in an envelope for
each student as they passed. He had one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
It wasn't that great. They were the student was to
keep five thousand dollars and to find a charity for
the other I mean five hundred dollars, excuse me, and
find a charity for the other five hundred dollars. And
I thought that was pretty terrific. I hope the kids
actually do it though.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I love that he put his money where his mouth
is because so many people make broken promises that don't
follow through. And I appreciate him for that. And that
was a lot of students, So thank you to that,
Thank you to him. I appreciate that. Speaking of people
speaking at colleges, Bobby, you know they I know we
talked about Buser last week just we just passed by it. Yep.
(07:02):
But Buck there was speaking to his people, and we're
going to get into boy by speaking to your people
on how much that resonates with the people that you
speak to who think like you. But uh, yeah, a
lot of the I would love to speak at a college, Bobby.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Oh, teach them, but I do. I think you'd have
for equality and inclusion, and you've got some great ideas.
I think that you could. You have a lot to
teach kids racism, you know. I think as they go
off into the world to be young adults that are
actually working in the workfield, teach them a little customer service.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Will you, good God, please.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Honest to God, My poor sister today, speaking of customer service.
You went into a company, uh for cable, to pick
up the cable boxes because we're going to the Cape
this weekend for a Memorial Day. And two gentlemen sat
and watched her. She brought Teresa with her to get
her out of the house and my sister's wheelchair bound
(08:01):
for those who don't know, And they sat with no
customers in the shop and watched her struggle through the doors,
trying to open it up, pulled it with her, but
pulled Terry through, in and out. It's not even like
once she did their business with them, they hopped up
and opened the door for her. And I am I'm
just so disappointed with some of our youth. They forget
(08:24):
customer service. What happened to just manners. So anyway, but
my sister always handled like a champ.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
God bless her manage a tide at home. So a
lot of people, a lot of parents are not parenting.
Where are we going, Bobby, where are we going?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Okay, So something else that I'm just gonna it's just
going to be a quick mention. So I love Katie
Quirk and she put the report out daily and something
that I found interesting speaking about kids, it's something new
that's happening as people are being hacked and want whatnot.
They're calling it financial. Let me say this sex torsion
well with a with a twisted here. They're not extorting adults.
(09:03):
They're extorting teenagers. So they're luring there are people obviously
not from this country. They are luring young men and
women in to basically sexting and then threatening them with
I don't know how much money a teenager could have.
I mean, they have the all allowance right to posting
(09:23):
the pictures bullying them unless they send money. And I thought, people,
we need to really pay attention. There's a really big
uptick according to the FBI in this pay attention to
what your kids are doing. Everybody. Don't just let them
because it's leading to higher suicide, especially in men. That
the boys are taking it worse than the girls. So
(09:45):
in our mental health awareness, I figured we would mention that.
So now we're going to get into the need of everything.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And please teach you, Please teach your children to sit
out us. I know this, and I have teenagers as well,
and I tell them all the time, it's out there
for ever. If you do it one time, it's out
there forever. And that's what they're just being it. So
you have to you really have to push instell that
in your kid and scare them. Fear works. If you
(10:11):
don't believe fear works, look at this Republican Party fear works.
So you have to scare your kid, you know, don't
do that because you're gonna be all plaid everywhere. And
I can't take that down. You can't because once it's
out and it shared one time, it is out there forever.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And that's what they're saying. They're saying that these oversea
offenders that's how they're calling it, are really manipulating these kids,
and it's leading to these things. No, don't, once it's
out there, it's not like when we were kids and
there were old polaroids and you could tear the polaroid
up and get rid of the get rid of the
film once it's in the cloud, so to speak. That
(10:46):
that's it, but just something I thought it was a
little bit interesting.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Wait a minute, Bobbie, I still have a polaroid of
me new and when I was twenty two. Oh my god,
thank god, I still have it. It's a little faded,
but you can see the important parts.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I'd have to hold mine upside down to figure out
where the where the pieces were supposed to go if
I wanted it to look like I am today. It's
stuff that's happening this week before we get into the
real need of our conversation today, the Biden administration took
another step for reclassifying marijuana as a Class three so
(11:24):
that yay, you know, the Justice Apartment first put that
out in April, and he's just kind of he's just
pushing it along, moving and along, moving and along, which
we'd like to see. He also gave the commencement speak
at Morehouse College, speaking about graduations, and overall it was
accepted pretty well. You know in the critics that would
(11:44):
go in and tear them apart. They really didn't. He
had some protesters about Gossam. There were a handful of
kids when they panned the crowd and showed us that
sat backwards in the chair. That was their protest. And
there was one professor that stood and was backwards and
held her he end up and that was sort of
(12:05):
her protest. But overall, there was no screaming and booing
and all that jazz. So hopefully, hopefully he landed with
some of those those kids and or their parents, because
we're certainly going to need those votes, let me tell you.
He also this week, by executive order or executive privilege,
(12:25):
pulled the trans of the recordings of the ben Her interview,
but he did release the transcript. So the GOP is
up in arms, but they have everything they need but
don't have to do with sit and read. He just
didn't want those out, and he basically is trying to
protect Merrick Garland from any criminal exposure.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Boo to the woods that turned their back on President
by at Morehouse College and to the professor. We understand
that you guys have your feelings about what is happening
over on the other side of the world, but do
you not understand that America is in a crisis. And
I understand that you may have fads over there and
it affects you, but America is in crisis, and disrespect
will follow you. The disrespect that you have given to
(13:07):
the commander in chief will follow you. And that's no
matter who's sitting in an office. Even when Trump was
in the office, he was still the president of the
United States, he was still the president.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And that's it. You just said something, I don't care
for the man, but there's a position. I still disrespect it.
You just don't do that because you're disrespecting the position.
And I think that's maybe that's what a lot of
people don't get right now. You know that they don't
get that. It's it's the position that we're supposed to
be so good, good with, not necessarily the man that's
actually sitting in it. If more people understood that, maybe
(13:40):
we'd be further along and we'd be getting people to
actually do their jobs.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
The lack of the lack of respect in this country
is mind boggling. Body it really is. It is.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Well, unfortunately, I do have to say it probably always
existed playing but I do feel like Trump opened the
door on that when he started making front of a
special needs person or you know, well, I'm not even
getting into the host of ridiculous things he said. I
think people felt like, okay, well, if he's doing it,
then he's to talk. You know, he's supposed to go.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
If he comes from the top, then you think it's okay.
That's why I see it when aliens come and they say,
take us to your leader, whether he's the president or not,
I'm giving him his address. Mar Lago. He's right there.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Oh my god, speaking of Myra Lago. Did you see.
I don't have a lot of information on this. I
just noticed it in the evening news as I was
walking by. He is accusing the FBI of assassinating him,
with Joe Biden signing off on it on the twenty
twenty two raid, which was so untrue. It's not funny.
(14:47):
You know, it's been proved wrong a million times. The
FBI came forward and said, you were at your safest
when we were at your door. Nobody gave it an
order to take you out. But what do you always say? Distractions? Right?
And so yep, when you're when we're talking about this, look,
what's happening, even even with the trial, which we'll talk
(15:10):
about now. If everybody he's getting a press conference every
single night, every single night, he is getting a press conference.
It's you know, what do they say? Any notoriety is good?
And he already press that's it. He's taking it. And
we're now talking about the big things. He's talking about
(15:30):
crazy things, crazy things that he wants to do. So, uh,
you know, ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
So the trial about how about the refrigerator, how Cody
is in the courtroom, and well, if you're going to
keep pooting in there, it needs to be cold, because
you imagine a warm good God Jesus no, ridiculous. Well,
but he has. He is taking advantage of that. And
I'm telling you, I can't even follow him for that boy,
(15:56):
because he's playing.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
He's playing the hell out victim. He's a victim. And
that's exactly what he's saying that he's going in to
this next term as a victim. He is going to
clean up. It'll be his revenge, his revenge tour. Yeah,
that's what he's looking for. But the hush money, it
(16:18):
looks like that's coming to a close. The prosecution ended, and.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
He never took the stand, and he said he and
he said he would take the stand. He was not
afraid to take the stand. Had he taken the stand,
I think what they would have had the leg up
on him because he always over talks and says too much.
But from what it looks like to me, his old attorney,
Michael Cohen, who was so bung hold on, we're going
to get him, We're going to get him after he
took the stand. To me, Michael Cohen did more harm
(16:48):
for more harm for the prosecution that he did for
the defense.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
The only thing I can say about Michael Cohen is
we all knew what he was going in. That's number
one and number two he was. He was calm. He
didn't overreact, you know, like Costello. He totally or Costello
some people pronounce it if your eyris should say Costello.
He completely overreacted. Robert Costello was the was the attorney
(17:18):
that met with Cohen. Colin didn't actually end up using him,
but he was being asked questions. He was saying, geez,
when when things were being struck. In fact, at one
time he said to strike a statement, which you can't say.
The judge had to have everybody removed from the court,
and it kind of dressed him down when when the
(17:39):
court was empty and brought everybody back in and Colin
didn't do that. Even when they tried to catch him
with the stealing, he was very open. He had had
his bonus cut and it felt that he was owed something,
especially since he did pay out of his own pocket
the one hundred and thirty thousand and four Stormy Daniels
and was waiting to be reimbursed for it. And he
(18:01):
took thirty thousand. It was either fifty or sixty that
was supposed to be given to some sort of vendor,
and he owned it. He didn't blink, he didn't get ruffled.
So that's the only thing is people if people kind
of look at that and remember as there as deliberating,
(18:21):
we all knew what he was.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Do we think what he said was true? And did
he put the pieces together?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
No? And because he has lied so much in the past,
and he and then when he would say one thing,
he tried to like right again what you said. He
was calm and court, but then he kept going on
his live, on his Instagram, on his Twitter and bashing
and saying things that were outrageous about President Trump, and
(18:48):
it's not that they were lies, but you can't be
two people now, you have to be one person on one.
So they would use what he said on his own,
on his own social medi platforms against him when he
was trying to talk in a nice calming voice in court.
It just was a conflict adventures. But of course Trump
is very familiar with that. And you know, because that's
(19:11):
the same man who said he would never play golf
and then played golf on his own golf courses and
charge it to the government. I'm just saying, I want,
I need to constantly remind you all of the things
that this man has done.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Still last week and he was he was took the
day off of court, they have the day off so
he could go to his child's graduation, which I feel
like he almost got strong armed in the end. And
he was going to a fundraise, right think he ended
up golfing too, like I don't know, unless maybe that's
where he does his fundraising, you know, is on the
golf course.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Well, we know he does a lot of things on it.
We know he does a lot of things on the
golf course. He buried bodies and everything else anyway, any who,
But Michael Cohen, I don't know Bobby. He looks from
the outside look in the end, because I wasn't in
the court room. He looks very shaky. But the the
unbridled support that Trump has from the big wigs, from
(20:02):
the Speaker of the House to so many different big
wigs showing up at court to support him is mind boggling.
In this uniform, yeah yeah, and this man is there
to write guilty, but he got all these people showing
up on his behalf. It is. It's almost like we're doomed.
So when we get to Project twenty twenty five, I
(20:23):
want you guys to remember that they've been setting this
up for quite some time.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Oh yeah, when we get there, we'll talk about but
that it's something that's not new. They're just embellishing on it.
But I think to finish out the court case, I
think it's going to have to be how it's summarized
on both sides, because I think you could you could
sort of there's a way that you could kind of
play it, you know, and we'll we'll see what happens,
(20:50):
you know, and who goes.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
First in the summary? Is it the prosecution or the defense.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You know, I don't know. To be honest with you,
I'd love to say I know, I don't who has first.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I think I think the prosecution goes first and then
the defense. I almost switched around, but I think that's
how it goes. I watched enough law and Order s
for you, so I think I think I think that's
how it goes. I'm not sure if I'm wrong, you'll, ladies, Jim,
y'all correct me, y'all will anyway, that's what y'all do.
We appreciate you all of that. Okay, Bobby, let's get
to the meat because the soup is boiling.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Oh jeez, Louise, hold on, let's move it on. So
we're gonna move go on down to Oh before we
do that, did you see Rudy Giuliani was served at
his idiom.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yes, and he was Oh my god, did you see
his face, Bobby, he was mortified. Oh my god, they
got him. He's been hiding out and hiding out. But
then he had a public birthday party and they got
his ass at the birthday party.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
For for somebody in someone's backyard. You think he would
have like a swanky, fancy schmancy something. Uh uh, Nope,
they didn't and they got him go into his car.
But you know what they got him. He was bragging
about not being gone like you hunt. He only had
so many days, and they think they got him on
the last day and they told everybody he was going
(22:07):
to the party. It's like, well, you know, like, if
you're going to be that transparent, they're going to come
and they're gonna get you. I don't know what it's
going to get them and if they can actually get
anything even out of it. But but I thought that
was that was too much.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
That speaks, That speaks volumes to the fact that he
was Donald Trump's a lawyer. He was when he was
America's mayor. He handled the business, but then he became
Donald the lawyer. He got on TV and said all
these bogus things make up running down his face saying
crazy stuff. It felt and to me it was it
wasn't even like funny. It was like, that's what he is.
(22:45):
He kint it down like he's kind of stupid, so
stupid showed up and in the words of Forrest Gump,
stupid is that stupid? Does it?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Does it?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Is?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well, it's you know what I think it really comes
down to, and this is why I think that he
and Trump are a match made for each other. It's
the egos. The egos on these gentlemen. It is unbelievable.
And they just don't think they're gonna get caught, they're
gonna get in trouble, They're gonna anything. So I think
that's that It speaks more to that. Well, look out, Rudy,
(23:16):
they were coming together.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
They have jail celles that fuel egos.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Yeah, isn't not the truth? Isn't that the truth? Let's
just say just look look at you got moc meadows
in one Bandon's going to another one?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
You know, won't won't.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
So the Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Twenty five, which is a which is a mandate for leadership.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
It is it is a mandate. So it is something
that actually they didn't call it a Project twenty twenty five.
It started under Reagan and he called it a mandate
for leadership. That was that was his title. And then
they moved it. It was under Nixon originally this Heritage group,
and then it moved to Reagan. Reagan actually used a
lot of it during his time, and then now it
(24:05):
is it is. It's Project twenty twenty five. It's been renamed.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
It's renamed, it's been renamed a couple of times, like
black People. So now it's called it was called the
Presidential Transition Project, which is, let me read it to you,
to you all. It's a collection of policy proposals to
thoroughly reshape the United States federal government in the event
of a Republican victory in the twenty twenty four US
presidential election. It's established in twenty twenty two. The project
(24:36):
aims to recruit tens of thousands of conservatives to the
district of Columbia to replace existing federal civil servants. That means,
if you've been in your job thirty years, they can
take you right out without question, whom Republicans characterize as
part of the deep state, and to further the objectives
of the next Republican president. It adopts a maximalist version
(24:57):
of the unitary executive theory, which asserts that the president
has absolute power over the executive branch upon inauguration, which
means that if Trump is wins and is sworn in,
he is the king. He is a complete dictator. Is
his word or no word period. It's a unitary executive
theory is a disputed interpretation of Article two of the
(25:20):
Constitution of the United States. It is so mind boggling
bibby that people we've watched Representative Jasmine Crockett go after
Margaret Margaret Marjorie Taylor Green about the bleach hair of
the bad body. But this Project twenty five, oh, this
Project twenty twenty five wants to cut the DOJ, the
(25:41):
Department of Justice. They will cut the FBI. They want
to get rid of the Department of Homeland Security. They
want to change the climate control. They want to get
rid of the Department of Commerce, the Federal Communications, the FCC,
the Federal Communications Commissions, Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Mission.
They want to get rid of the part of education,
(26:02):
social Security, Obamacare. Is so many things that they will retract.
And if he wins, this will happen. This is not
a maybe or possibility. If he is putting office on
day one, this will impleare this, this will be implemented
to this country. So while we are sitting here arguing
over beef wraps and identity and ideology and religion, they
(26:27):
are moving this needle so forward. And don't forget that
they're going to take away diversity, equity, and inclusion that
we've been pushing for in this country. They're going to
take away a woman's rights to control her body with abortion.
President ex President Trump is already talking about banning the
abortion pill, and he keeps flip flopping on it because
(26:48):
at first he said he would do it, but then
when he saw that the female vote change for him,
he will magine. He's going to leave it up to
the states. And y'all need to pay attention that Project
twenty twenty five is very dangerous, not just for black
people or brown people. It is dangerous for Americans. It
is dangerous for Americans that is not in the one
percent of the super super rich, and that is a
(27:09):
lot of us because most of us are not in
that in that super super rich. It is going to
change everything to where he is giving police the power
to George Floyd, Ahmad Aubrey, Breonna Taylor, and and and
every day without without nothing. So we watched George Floyd
die a thousand times on TV with a knee on
(27:31):
his neck. But thank god that they put Derek Chauvin
in jail behind that. This means that we can watch
a death every five minutes of a black or brown
person a white person. It won't matter because if this
police is having a discrown to day and there will
be no nothing, no repercussion to the officers, he's given
them full power. They can make up a story, say
that Bobby jaywalks and Fritz Bobby throw her on the
(27:52):
ground or beat her in here with a billy club
and nothing will happen to them. Y'all know, Bobby don't
do nothing illegal. Bobby's giffed. Bobby paid tickets from nineteen seventy.
But it is so frightening Bobby, because not only am
I black and trains, but I have children, and you
have a child, and they're young, and they don't know
how to deal with a discrow to a police officer
(28:14):
who don't know how to de escalate the situation and
does not have to because if he gives them full community,
they can make up a lot and say, well, he
had drugs on them and they beat him up or
he tried to attack. We are living, we are in
a place of fear, and I fear is winning. I
need us to be strong and find our courage to
vote against this because if this gets in office. This
(28:35):
country as we know, the democracy of America as we
know it, which is the greatest right now, but it
is something for us to hold on too, is lost.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
And that's how you have to vote. It's we want,
we need to save democracy. Because Trump goes further. He
now has and it's not even we don't even have
a good handle on what it is, what it entails,
but he has something not only with Project twenty twenty five,
he has something called Agenda forty seven. It is Agenda
(29:05):
forty seven program. He is so angry and feels that
he was victimized by the FBI, especially they tried to
undermine him with the Russia Gate, you know, trying to
trying to get that done, and then the whole Ukraine
with with Hunter Biden. You know that they were trying
(29:28):
to push for that and they weren't backing him that. Yeah,
I don't know what we're going to have last I
think who just man knows the FBI.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
And he wants to dismaster Department of Justice because he
feels like they went out there him because they kind
of did to write. Yeah, when I tell you guys,
and I hear the price, I'm a parent, I'm a
single parent. Food is high, food is very expensive right now,
lots of things, but we keep looking at the minuses
and you're not looking at all the pluses that Biden
(29:57):
has has accomplished in his four years in office. And
I wish more people were really pushed that. But that's
boring news. Boring news don't get sinceationalized news, since sationalized
news gets all of the play. But if you look
at that boring news to see all the lovely things
that President Biden has done as far as with so
many different things that he has done, and he has
(30:19):
not finished. He needs four more years. Do you think
that that man is tired. I'm sure he is. I'm
sure that man is tired. He's eighty years old. I
know he's tired. But guess what, he's not tired enough
to make us lose democracy in this country. And we
have to hold on to it because, oh, we are
in such a critical place to where we lose it.
And if Trump has latently said that, if and when
(30:40):
he gets in power, he is going to be the
last president because he's going to switch it from being
a president to being a dictator. He is now putting
out things about he's using the Hitler rhetoric of the
right body is it called the right? The right?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
That was something that was put on he had on
a funweight raising docum. Now I don't know if he
was aware of it. I don't know what if he
wasn't aware of it, but even us talking about it flamed.
So we were just talking about the publicity. Right, So
we're talking about him. You know, everybody's up in arms
that he used the word. I mean, nobody wants that word.
I swear it was almost done on purpose, so that
we're all talking about because we're still we're still talking
(31:18):
about Trump. And if you have some sort of back
ended people who think that that's that's a great id
ideology to have, they're going to be voting for him.
For him. No, it's really it's it's really crazy, this
whole thing is. It's unfortunately, it's really crazy. It is too.
The GOP originally put it together because they want to shrink,
(31:39):
you know, our government. They want to keep more under
the under the president's thumb. But that's not necessarily what
we what we want, and that's certainly not what our
forefather fathers had mapped out for us. They're saying it
is there's some piece of the Constitution that says it,
and you know, somebody needs to some sort of historian
(32:00):
or our real super smart people with the constitutionalists.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
I am for all Americans to really just develop, to
really dive into all the particulars of Project twenty twenty
five and the distractions. There's all the fighting in Congress,
all the fighting in the Senate, all the fighting with
the foolishness that's happening at with the Supreme Court. I
am very, very bothered by what I have seen happening
(32:28):
at Supreme Court. It has always been acknowledged as the
highest court in the land, something that we strive to be,
something that we looked upon as the institution that was
fair and honest for all people. And I don't think
it has been like this since President Thirdod Marshall passed on.
But what happened now is you have a leader who's
(32:49):
sitting on the Supreme Court who probably has been there
longer than everybody else at this point, now having the
flag hang upside down, which it was a dog whistle
for people who felt like the election was stolen for
four days in his own homes backyard and then he
turns around and blames it on his wife. Who does this?
What country does Clarien Thomas. Clarence Thomas said, well, Clarence
(33:12):
Thomas slept with if he lives with is married to Jenny,
who also was sending out text messages and emails to
say that the election was so we are in such
a critical place Americans. And I understand y'all saying we
had ten dollars, we had twenty five hundred dollars. You
were stuck in the house in a pandemic. Of course
you had more money. You couldn't go anywhere to spend anything.
(33:33):
That's why Amazon made so much money, because you couldn't
go anywhere. We were stuck at a pandemic. Y'all keep forgetting.
Let's not forget how barbaric twenty twenty to twenty twenty
two was for all of America, for the whole world
with the pandemic, not just America. We lost a million
people from a president who said that the pandemic wasn't real.
(33:54):
Then he cut COVID and put everybody in jeopardy, and
his secret service people in jeopardy, and told you guys
to inject life in your damn veins. Please hear me.
I'm begging you to pay attention to where we are
because if you vote wrong because you think you're going
to make fifty more dollars or one hundred more dollars,
you're going to lose everything, everything, one more time everything.
(34:17):
Oh yeah, me get my boy.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
No, Alito's got real problems. Though, The New York Times
actually reported, I think it was today, that there he
had flown another flag at his vacation house. It was
called I was unaware of this appeal to Heaven flag.
It was carried by insurrectionists on January sixth. It can
be confirmed that it flew over his beach house in
July and in September of twenty twenty three. So it's
(34:42):
going to be kind of hard for him to speak
to people and say, okay, so the first one his
wife put up because she was arguing with a neighbor. Whatever,
what's the excuse for this one. These people are going
to have to recuse themselves, you know, from these cases.
But again, we just what do we say, ego, they're
(35:02):
not going to do so. So, but if Trump gets
in Project twenty twenty five, it's a real problem. If
he doesn't, then yeah, then there are half of the
stuff they might not get. They might not get passed anyway,
but this is what they want. They want.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
If he doesn't and if he doesn't get in, y'all
get past this fear about there's going to be some
kind of civil There is not going to be a
civil There's going to be some disgrunt too angry people.
We may have a few incidents, but most of the world,
that most of America does not want all of that fighting.
We don't want war. We want peace. We want to
live in harmony. We want to get along with each other.
Because no matter what you identify as, no matter your religion,
(35:41):
your sexuality, if you're an American, we're still all Americans.
Which is why me and Bobby work so well. She's
an Irish, Catholic, Caucasian single mother of one, She's an American.
I'm a Black American African transgender, single father, single father
of three, and I'm an American. That's what you have
to remember. Push some all them adjectives and pronouns and
(36:01):
all that conjunction junctions to the side, and let everything
we remember we're Americans first. We're Americans first.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
If we want to continue to be If we want
to tell you to be, Yeah, it's up to you.
Everybody has to do their due diligence. Look at this,
Look at some of the stuff that it's that. It's
telling you because it is. It is scary. The privement
of justice is who held Trump to the fire right?
If all of a sudden he dismantles them, then there's
(36:30):
nobody looking out over him or over anybody else. You know,
we're not looking for that. We need more, not less,
not more government, not more than what we have, but
we need more people looking out checks and balances. If
we do this and everything falls under him, all federal
organizations fall under him, there are no checks and balances.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Yeah, and we need more strength from the American people.
We need you to find your courage. We need you
to find your courage, and we need you to find
what's important for you. You your voice, your choice, your courage.
Because a lot of us are afraid and you think
that you have to go along with the masses. You
have a conscious decision, and you have a conscious hopefully
to let you know that we're not voting the past.
(37:13):
We live through there. The future looks bleak, but Look
what we're in right now. Look what we are in
right now, and where we are, and we less than
six months away from the biggest election of our lifetime.
Good god, I'm thirty nine years old. I can only
imagine what you would do, Bobby in your fifty eight years. Ah,
you're not a girl.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
You're not a girl. Listen, I'm telling you. But one
of the reasons something else to think about the difference
is between the two presidents. One of the reasons that
they're really going hard and heavy with this project twenty
twenty five. The GOP is not the Trump agenda. Piece
of it is because he was so ill prepared to
(37:52):
run the country when he first got in. For instance,
President Biden on his first day enacted twenty with twelve
hundred people in positions to get them moving, and Trump
did less than five hundred. He wasn't ready, So they
don't want him not ready. They're putting sort of they're
already interviewing, they already have like one on one courses
(38:16):
on how to run the country that they're the people
that they're interviewing are actually watching, so they can hit
the ground running. And I would hate to see people
that have been in a job for thirty forty years
looking to get their pension be bumped because they don't
they're not loyal to Trump, because that's what Trump is
looking for. It's not what's supposed to happen. But you
know that that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
And that is not what happens in government jobs and
government jobs, you have the aco you you have, you
have your your leaders, your team leaders. When you're part
of what do they call that a union? You have
union leaders? Oh what was that matter to him? Yeah?
That matters to him what you said, Bobby.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
I said, what union? Because there won't be one if
he gets in.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Yeah? Because yes, because he would not care. So you've
been in your job, you've been planning on retiring after
your forty years, and he didn't like what you said,
or he feels like you didn't support him. You will
lose your job and your pension. Social Security if Project
twenty twenty five passes. Social Security is the thing of
the past. We are paying taxes for nothing because there
(39:19):
won't be any more money. He's going to use it
for whatever he uses money for, which you know that
and which we know what he uses money for. Stormy
Daniels of Karen McDougal. But this is what we are
so think long term, think for yourself, think for your future,
thing for your family, your children, your grandchildren. Is scary, y'all.
And we're going to stay on this project twenty twenty
(39:40):
five because we are really pushing it. We don't want
you to do your homework and find points that we
didn't find. So next week inbox us on that laugh
and Learn podcast on Instagram, tell us what you want
us to address. We will do it. Bobby will cover
all because you know she's the research analyst. And thank
you guys for joining us here again here at Left Alone.
We appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
We need you give you what can I give you
one piece of good information before we sign off? Of course, Okay,
I think it's kind of it's kind of cool. Considering
where Trump is and with the case and everything, I
found it actually quite positive. So you know, we had elections,
and we had primary elections and then there was some
special elections. But in Georgia, Fannie Willis she won her seat.
(40:20):
Not only did she, but but the judge that's assigned
they won their elections, so they're staying in place. People
didn't vote her out, So not everybody's not liking or
like Trump said, she's not the worst. But unfortunately in California,
McCarthy's seat was was it was filled by another Republican.
I only say that because right now I feel like
(40:42):
I want people to work and well, maybe the new
guy will who knows well.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
California is probably one of the safest blue states in
the Union. California was probably the safest blue state in
the Union. And I live in California, so I can
say that. But let me tell you what Trump did
day one when he got an office. He took down
the LGBT whole website off the presidential pace. If he
did that's the first time he's already put out that
if he gets back in all medication, all protections for
(41:09):
he said for the transute, it's going to But that's
just that is just an overplay for the underplay. It
will be all trans people, self included. Vote for yourself.
If you don't know who to vote for, vote for yourself,
especially if you're part of the LGBT community, which means
vote for Biden, because Biden hears you, and he sees you,
and he acknowledges you. Oh my god, Bobby, we have
had a we had an episode today and I look
(41:30):
so cute here at laughing along, ladies and gentlemen. The
model will not change. It will never change here at
laughing aline. We are not trying to get you to
change your mind. We are only trying to get you
to use your mind.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Because why Bobby, Because a mind is a terrible thing
to waste.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
Yes, and some of y'all please don't waste your vote
to go with your mind, because we fought to get
these votes. Women. It's only been one hundred years that
you guys can vote black people. It has been less
than that for us, and we lost a lot of
people lost their lives so we could do this. Let's
get this done. Let's get this behind us. There is
strengthen numbers, and we need every number you got. If
you think that your vote don't count, you are sadly mistaken.
(42:04):
Your vote counts. And if we lose by one vote,
it's your father. I'm gonna say that every time say him.
Next week I will be doing don Lemon. And then
I got another special surprise for y'all. But I can't
tell y'all to the day of the show, but we

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Okay, here goes.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Well.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
The first thing I want to say is it's Memorial Day.
So happy Memorial Day for everybody, for all of our
soldiers out there, especially those the families who were left behind.
Are you doing anything special?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I'm a barbecue. If I can afford it because the
price of meat is ridiculous. I've been looking for my
old girls that I've been looking for my old gurdlers
that I used to borrow me. But I can't it.
And I thank you Bobby for saying that, because in
the black community, I'm going to say this at a
(04:10):
lot of youngsters don't know what Memorial Day is. They
think it's just to barbecue or to celebrate the how
they don't know that we are celebrating soldiers, past president
and future who have put up their time in their
life and some have given the ultimate sacrifice, which is
their lives for this country. So this is a time
of remembrance for all the soldiers. My father was in
(04:30):
the Navy, so may he rest in peace. But thank
you for your service. And again, thank you all for
your service, what past president and future, because that's what
Memorial Day is about. It's about soldiers and falling or
you know, they're still working right now in the military.
So yeah, thank you for acknowledging it and.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Their families because their families absolutely take the hit, just
like the jail.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, they sacrifice, they really.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I mean, they really do. Financial I mean, they really
do something else that we want We want to keep
reminding everybody as we're we're ending up May is it's

a master? Do you know something that happened here in
Massachusetts was so your mass is our public school system.
Here you mass Dartmouth graduation a billionaire Rob Hale. I
(06:17):
believe he gave the commencement speech in an envelope for
each student as they passed. He had one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
It wasn't that great. They were the student was to
keep five thousand dollars and to find a charity for
the other I mean five hundred dollars, excuse me, and
find a charity for the other five hundred dollars. And
I thought that was pretty terrific. I hope the kids
actually do it though.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I love that he put his money where his mouth
is because so many people make broken promises that don't
follow through. And I appreciate him for that. And that
was a lot of students, So thank you to that,
Thank you to him. I appreciate that. Speaking of people
speaking at colleges, Bobby, you know they I know we
talked about Buser last week just we just passed by it. Yep.
(07:02):
But Buck there was speaking to his people, and we're
going to get into boy by speaking to your people
on how much that resonates with the people that you
speak to who think like you. But uh, yeah, a
lot of the I would love to speak at a college, Bobby.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Oh, teach them, but I do. I think you'd have
for equality and inclusion, and you've got some great ideas.
I think that you could. You have a lot to
teach kids racism, you know. I think as they go
off into the world to be young adults that are
actually working in the workfield, teach them a little customer service.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Will you, good God, please.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Honest to God, My poor sister today, speaking of customer service.
You went into a company, uh for cable, to pick
up the cable boxes because we're going to the Cape
this weekend for a Memorial Day. And two gentlemen sat
and watched her. She brought Teresa with her to get
her out of the house and my sister's wheelchair bound
(08:01):
for those who don't know, And they sat with no
customers in the shop and watched her struggle through the doors,
trying to open it up, pulled it with her, but
pulled Terry through, in and out. It's not even like
once she did their business with them, they hopped up
and opened the door for her. And I am I'm
just so disappointed with some of our youth. They forget
(08:24):
customer service. What happened to just manners. So anyway, but
my sister always handled like a champ.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
God bless her manage a tide at home. So a
lot of people, a lot of parents are not parenting.
Where are we going, Bobby, where are we going?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Okay, So something else that I'm just gonna it's just
going to be a quick mention. So I love Katie
Quirk and she put the report out daily and something
that I found interesting speaking about kids, it's something new
that's happening as people are being hacked and want whatnot.
They're calling it financial. Let me say this sex torsion
well with a with a twisted here. They're not extorting adults.
(09:03):
They're extorting teenagers. So they're luring there are people obviously
not from this country. They are luring young men and
women in to basically sexting and then threatening them with
I don't know how much money a teenager could have.
I mean, they have the all allowance right to posting
(09:23):
the pictures bullying them unless they send money. And I thought, people,
we need to really pay attention. There's a really big
uptick according to the FBI in this pay attention to
what your kids are doing. Everybody. Don't just let them
because it's leading to higher suicide, especially in men. That
the boys are taking it worse than the girls. So
(09:45):
in our mental health awareness, I figured we would mention that.
So now we're going to get into the need of everything.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And please teach you, Please teach your children to sit
out us. I know this, and I have teenagers as well,
and I tell them all the time, it's out there
for ever. If you do it one time, it's out
there forever. And that's what they're just being it. So
you have to you really have to push instell that
in your kid and scare them. Fear works. If you
(10:11):
don't believe fear works, look at this Republican Party fear works.
So you have to scare your kid, you know, don't
do that because you're gonna be all plaid everywhere. And
I can't take that down. You can't because once it's
out and it shared one time, it is out there forever.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And that's what they're saying. They're saying that these oversea
offenders that's how they're calling it, are really manipulating these kids,
and it's leading to these things. No, don't, once it's
out there, it's not like when we were kids and
there were old polaroids and you could tear the polaroid
up and get rid of the get rid of the
film once it's in the cloud, so to speak. That
(10:46):
that's it, but just something I thought it was a
little bit interesting.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Wait a minute, Bobbie, I still have a polaroid of
me new and when I was twenty two. Oh my god,
thank god, I still have it. It's a little faded,
but you can see the important parts.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I'd have to hold mine upside down to figure out
where the where the pieces were supposed to go if
I wanted it to look like I am today. It's
stuff that's happening this week before we get into the
real need of our conversation today, the Biden administration took
another step for reclassifying marijuana as a Class three so
(11:24):
that yay, you know, the Justice Apartment first put that
out in April, and he's just kind of he's just
pushing it along, moving and along, moving and along, which
we'd like to see. He also gave the commencement speak
at Morehouse College, speaking about graduations, and overall it was
accepted pretty well. You know in the critics that would
(11:44):
go in and tear them apart. They really didn't. He
had some protesters about Gossam. There were a handful of
kids when they panned the crowd and showed us that
sat backwards in the chair. That was their protest. And
there was one professor that stood and was backwards and
held her he end up and that was sort of
(12:05):
her protest. But overall, there was no screaming and booing
and all that jazz. So hopefully, hopefully he landed with
some of those those kids and or their parents, because
we're certainly going to need those votes, let me tell you.
He also this week, by executive order or executive privilege,
(12:25):
pulled the trans of the recordings of the ben Her interview,
but he did release the transcript. So the GOP is
up in arms, but they have everything they need but
don't have to do with sit and read. He just
didn't want those out, and he basically is trying to
protect Merrick Garland from any criminal exposure.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Boo to the woods that turned their back on President
by at Morehouse College and to the professor. We understand
that you guys have your feelings about what is happening
over on the other side of the world, but do
you not understand that America is in a crisis. And
I understand that you may have fads over there and
it affects you, but America is in crisis, and disrespect
will follow you. The disrespect that you have given to
(13:07):
the commander in chief will follow you. And that's no
matter who's sitting in an office. Even when Trump was
in the office, he was still the president of the
United States, he was still the president.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And that's it. You just said something, I don't care
for the man, but there's a position. I still disrespect it.
You just don't do that because you're disrespecting the position.
And I think that's maybe that's what a lot of
people don't get right now. You know that they don't
get that. It's it's the position that we're supposed to
be so good, good with, not necessarily the man that's
actually sitting in it. If more people understood that, maybe
(13:40):
we'd be further along and we'd be getting people to
actually do their jobs.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
The lack of the lack of respect in this country
is mind boggling. Body it really is. It is.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Well, unfortunately, I do have to say it probably always
existed playing but I do feel like Trump opened the
door on that when he started making front of a
special needs person or you know, well, I'm not even
getting into the host of ridiculous things he said. I
think people felt like, okay, well, if he's doing it,
then he's to talk. You know, he's supposed to go.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
If he comes from the top, then you think it's okay.
That's why I see it when aliens come and they say,
take us to your leader, whether he's the president or not,
I'm giving him his address. Mar Lago. He's right there.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Oh my god, speaking of Myra Lago. Did you see.
I don't have a lot of information on this. I
just noticed it in the evening news as I was
walking by. He is accusing the FBI of assassinating him,
with Joe Biden signing off on it on the twenty
twenty two raid, which was so untrue. It's not funny.
(14:47):
You know, it's been proved wrong a million times. The
FBI came forward and said, you were at your safest
when we were at your door. Nobody gave it an
order to take you out. But what do you always say? Distractions? Right?
And so yep, when you're when we're talking about this, look,
what's happening, even even with the trial, which we'll talk
(15:10):
about now. If everybody he's getting a press conference every
single night, every single night, he is getting a press conference.
It's you know, what do they say? Any notoriety is good?
And he already press that's it. He's taking it. And
we're now talking about the big things. He's talking about
(15:30):
crazy things, crazy things that he wants to do. So, uh,
you know, ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
So the trial about how about the refrigerator, how Cody
is in the courtroom, and well, if you're going to
keep pooting in there, it needs to be cold, because
you imagine a warm good God Jesus no, ridiculous. Well,
but he has. He is taking advantage of that. And
I'm telling you, I can't even follow him for that boy,
(15:56):
because he's playing.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
He's playing the hell out victim. He's a victim. And
that's exactly what he's saying that he's going in to
this next term as a victim. He is going to
clean up. It'll be his revenge, his revenge tour. Yeah,
that's what he's looking for. But the hush money, it
(16:18):
looks like that's coming to a close. The prosecution ended, and.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
He never took the stand, and he said he and
he said he would take the stand. He was not
afraid to take the stand. Had he taken the stand,
I think what they would have had the leg up
on him because he always over talks and says too much.
But from what it looks like to me, his old attorney,
Michael Cohen, who was so bung hold on, we're going
to get him, We're going to get him after he
took the stand. To me, Michael Cohen did more harm
(16:48):
for more harm for the prosecution that he did for
the defense.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
The only thing I can say about Michael Cohen is
we all knew what he was going in. That's number
one and number two he was. He was calm. He
didn't overreact, you know, like Costello. He totally or Costello
some people pronounce it if your eyris should say Costello.
He completely overreacted. Robert Costello was the was the attorney
(17:18):
that met with Cohen. Colin didn't actually end up using him,
but he was being asked questions. He was saying, geez,
when when things were being struck. In fact, at one
time he said to strike a statement, which you can't say.
The judge had to have everybody removed from the court,
and it kind of dressed him down when when the
(17:39):
court was empty and brought everybody back in and Colin
didn't do that. Even when they tried to catch him
with the stealing, he was very open. He had had
his bonus cut and it felt that he was owed something,
especially since he did pay out of his own pocket
the one hundred and thirty thousand and four Stormy Daniels
and was waiting to be reimbursed for it. And he
(18:01):
took thirty thousand. It was either fifty or sixty that
was supposed to be given to some sort of vendor,
and he owned it. He didn't blink, he didn't get ruffled.
So that's the only thing is people if people kind
of look at that and remember as there as deliberating,
(18:21):
we all knew what he was.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Do we think what he said was true? And did
he put the pieces together?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
No? And because he has lied so much in the past,
and he and then when he would say one thing,
he tried to like right again what you said. He
was calm and court, but then he kept going on
his live, on his Instagram, on his Twitter and bashing
and saying things that were outrageous about President Trump, and
(18:48):
it's not that they were lies, but you can't be
two people now, you have to be one person on one.
So they would use what he said on his own,
on his own social medi platforms against him when he
was trying to talk in a nice calming voice in court.
It just was a conflict adventures. But of course Trump
is very familiar with that. And you know, because that's
(19:11):
the same man who said he would never play golf
and then played golf on his own golf courses and
charge it to the government. I'm just saying, I want,
I need to constantly remind you all of the things
that this man has done.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Still last week and he was he was took the
day off of court, they have the day off so
he could go to his child's graduation, which I feel
like he almost got strong armed in the end. And
he was going to a fundraise, right think he ended
up golfing too, like I don't know, unless maybe that's
where he does his fundraising, you know, is on the
golf course.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Well, we know he does a lot of things on it.
We know he does a lot of things on the
golf course. He buried bodies and everything else anyway, any who,
But Michael Cohen, I don't know Bobby. He looks from
the outside look in the end, because I wasn't in
the court room. He looks very shaky. But the the
unbridled support that Trump has from the big wigs, from
(20:02):
the Speaker of the House to so many different big
wigs showing up at court to support him is mind boggling.
In this uniform, yeah yeah, and this man is there
to write guilty, but he got all these people showing
up on his behalf. It is. It's almost like we're doomed.
So when we get to Project twenty twenty five, I
(20:23):
want you guys to remember that they've been setting this
up for quite some time.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Oh yeah, when we get there, we'll talk about but
that it's something that's not new. They're just embellishing on it.
But I think to finish out the court case, I
think it's going to have to be how it's summarized
on both sides, because I think you could you could
sort of there's a way that you could kind of
play it, you know, and we'll we'll see what happens,
(20:50):
you know, and who goes.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
First in the summary? Is it the prosecution or the defense.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You know, I don't know. To be honest with you,
I'd love to say I know, I don't who has first.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I think I think the prosecution goes first and then
the defense. I almost switched around, but I think that's
how it goes. I watched enough law and Order s
for you, so I think I think I think that's
how it goes. I'm not sure if I'm wrong, you'll, ladies, Jim,
y'all correct me, y'all will anyway, that's what y'all do.
We appreciate you all of that. Okay, Bobby, let's get
to the meat because the soup is boiling.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Oh jeez, Louise, hold on, let's move it on. So
we're gonna move go on down to Oh before we
do that, did you see Rudy Giuliani was served at
his idiom.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yes, and he was Oh my god, did you see
his face, Bobby, he was mortified. Oh my god, they
got him. He's been hiding out and hiding out. But
then he had a public birthday party and they got
his ass at the birthday party.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
For for somebody in someone's backyard. You think he would
have like a swanky, fancy schmancy something. Uh uh, Nope,
they didn't and they got him go into his car.
But you know what they got him. He was bragging
about not being gone like you hunt. He only had
so many days, and they think they got him on
the last day and they told everybody he was going
(22:07):
to the party. It's like, well, you know, like, if
you're going to be that transparent, they're going to come
and they're gonna get you. I don't know what it's
going to get them and if they can actually get
anything even out of it. But but I thought that
was that was too much.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
That speaks, That speaks volumes to the fact that he
was Donald Trump's a lawyer. He was when he was
America's mayor. He handled the business, but then he became
Donald the lawyer. He got on TV and said all
these bogus things make up running down his face saying
crazy stuff. It felt and to me it was it
wasn't even like funny. It was like, that's what he is.
(22:45):
He kint it down like he's kind of stupid, so
stupid showed up and in the words of Forrest Gump,
stupid is that stupid? Does it?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Does it?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Is?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well, it's you know what I think it really comes
down to, and this is why I think that he
and Trump are a match made for each other. It's
the egos. The egos on these gentlemen. It is unbelievable.
And they just don't think they're gonna get caught, they're
gonna get in trouble, They're gonna anything. So I think
that's that It speaks more to that. Well, look out, Rudy,
(23:16):
they were coming together.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
They have jail celles that fuel egos.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Yeah, isn't not the truth? Isn't that the truth? Let's
just say just look look at you got moc meadows
in one Bandon's going to another one?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
You know, won't won't.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
So the Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Twenty five, which is a which is a mandate for leadership.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
It is it is a mandate. So it is something
that actually they didn't call it a Project twenty twenty five.
It started under Reagan and he called it a mandate
for leadership. That was that was his title. And then
they moved it. It was under Nixon originally this Heritage group,
and then it moved to Reagan. Reagan actually used a
lot of it during his time, and then now it
(24:05):
is it is. It's Project twenty twenty five. It's been renamed.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
It's renamed, it's been renamed a couple of times, like
black People. So now it's called it was called the
Presidential Transition Project, which is, let me read it to you,
to you all. It's a collection of policy proposals to
thoroughly reshape the United States federal government in the event
of a Republican victory in the twenty twenty four US
presidential election. It's established in twenty twenty two. The project
(24:36):
aims to recruit tens of thousands of conservatives to the
district of Columbia to replace existing federal civil servants. That means,
if you've been in your job thirty years, they can
take you right out without question, whom Republicans characterize as
part of the deep state, and to further the objectives
of the next Republican president. It adopts a maximalist version
(24:57):
of the unitary executive theory, which asserts that the president
has absolute power over the executive branch upon inauguration, which
means that if Trump is wins and is sworn in,
he is the king. He is a complete dictator. Is
his word or no word period. It's a unitary executive
theory is a disputed interpretation of Article two of the
(25:20):
Constitution of the United States. It is so mind boggling
bibby that people we've watched Representative Jasmine Crockett go after
Margaret Margaret Marjorie Taylor Green about the bleach hair of
the bad body. But this Project twenty five, oh, this
Project twenty twenty five wants to cut the DOJ, the
(25:41):
Department of Justice. They will cut the FBI. They want
to get rid of the Department of Homeland Security. They
want to change the climate control. They want to get
rid of the Department of Commerce, the Federal Communications, the FCC,
the Federal Communications Commissions, Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Mission.
They want to get rid of the part of education,
(26:02):
social Security, Obamacare. Is so many things that they will retract.
And if he wins, this will happen. This is not
a maybe or possibility. If he is putting office on
day one, this will impleare this, this will be implemented
to this country. So while we are sitting here arguing
over beef wraps and identity and ideology and religion, they
(26:27):
are moving this needle so forward. And don't forget that
they're going to take away diversity, equity, and inclusion that
we've been pushing for in this country. They're going to
take away a woman's rights to control her body with abortion.
President ex President Trump is already talking about banning the
abortion pill, and he keeps flip flopping on it because
(26:48):
at first he said he would do it, but then
when he saw that the female vote change for him,
he will magine. He's going to leave it up to
the states. And y'all need to pay attention that Project
twenty twenty five is very dangerous, not just for black
people or brown people. It is dangerous for Americans. It
is dangerous for Americans that is not in the one
percent of the super super rich, and that is a
(27:09):
lot of us because most of us are not in
that in that super super rich. It is going to
change everything to where he is giving police the power
to George Floyd, Ahmad Aubrey, Breonna Taylor, and and and
every day without without nothing. So we watched George Floyd
die a thousand times on TV with a knee on
(27:31):
his neck. But thank god that they put Derek Chauvin
in jail behind that. This means that we can watch
a death every five minutes of a black or brown
person a white person. It won't matter because if this
police is having a discrown to day and there will
be no nothing, no repercussion to the officers, he's given
them full power. They can make up a story, say
that Bobby jaywalks and Fritz Bobby throw her on the
(27:52):
ground or beat her in here with a billy club
and nothing will happen to them. Y'all know, Bobby don't
do nothing illegal. Bobby's giffed. Bobby paid tickets from nineteen seventy.
But it is so frightening Bobby, because not only am
I black and trains, but I have children, and you
have a child, and they're young, and they don't know
how to deal with a discrow to a police officer
(28:14):
who don't know how to de escalate the situation and
does not have to because if he gives them full community,
they can make up a lot and say, well, he
had drugs on them and they beat him up or
he tried to attack. We are living, we are in
a place of fear, and I fear is winning. I
need us to be strong and find our courage to
vote against this because if this gets in office. This
(28:35):
country as we know, the democracy of America as we
know it, which is the greatest right now, but it
is something for us to hold on too, is lost.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
And that's how you have to vote. It's we want,
we need to save democracy. Because Trump goes further. He
now has and it's not even we don't even have
a good handle on what it is, what it entails,
but he has something not only with Project twenty twenty five,
he has something called Agenda forty seven. It is Agenda
(29:05):
forty seven program. He is so angry and feels that
he was victimized by the FBI, especially they tried to
undermine him with the Russia Gate, you know, trying to
trying to get that done, and then the whole Ukraine
with with Hunter Biden. You know that they were trying
(29:28):
to push for that and they weren't backing him that. Yeah,
I don't know what we're going to have last I
think who just man knows the FBI.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
And he wants to dismaster Department of Justice because he
feels like they went out there him because they kind
of did to write. Yeah, when I tell you guys,
and I hear the price, I'm a parent, I'm a
single parent. Food is high, food is very expensive right now,
lots of things, but we keep looking at the minuses
and you're not looking at all the pluses that Biden
(29:57):
has has accomplished in his four years in office. And
I wish more people were really pushed that. But that's
boring news. Boring news don't get sinceationalized news, since sationalized
news gets all of the play. But if you look
at that boring news to see all the lovely things
that President Biden has done as far as with so
many different things that he has done, and he has
(30:19):
not finished. He needs four more years. Do you think
that that man is tired. I'm sure he is. I'm
sure that man is tired. He's eighty years old. I
know he's tired. But guess what, he's not tired enough
to make us lose democracy in this country. And we
have to hold on to it because, oh, we are
in such a critical place to where we lose it.
And if Trump has latently said that, if and when
(30:40):
he gets in power, he is going to be the
last president because he's going to switch it from being
a president to being a dictator. He is now putting
out things about he's using the Hitler rhetoric of the
right body is it called the right? The right?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
That was something that was put on he had on
a funweight raising docum. Now I don't know if he
was aware of it. I don't know what if he
wasn't aware of it, but even us talking about it flamed.
So we were just talking about the publicity. Right, So
we're talking about him. You know, everybody's up in arms
that he used the word. I mean, nobody wants that word.
I swear it was almost done on purpose, so that
we're all talking about because we're still we're still talking
(31:18):
about Trump. And if you have some sort of back
ended people who think that that's that's a great id
ideology to have, they're going to be voting for him.
For him. No, it's really it's it's really crazy, this
whole thing is. It's unfortunately, it's really crazy. It is too.
The GOP originally put it together because they want to shrink,
(31:39):
you know, our government. They want to keep more under
the under the president's thumb. But that's not necessarily what
we what we want, and that's certainly not what our
forefather fathers had mapped out for us. They're saying it
is there's some piece of the Constitution that says it,
and you know, somebody needs to some sort of historian
(32:00):
or our real super smart people with the constitutionalists.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
I am for all Americans to really just develop, to
really dive into all the particulars of Project twenty twenty
five and the distractions. There's all the fighting in Congress,
all the fighting in the Senate, all the fighting with
the foolishness that's happening at with the Supreme Court. I
am very, very bothered by what I have seen happening
(32:28):
at Supreme Court. It has always been acknowledged as the
highest court in the land, something that we strive to be,
something that we looked upon as the institution that was
fair and honest for all people. And I don't think
it has been like this since President Thirdod Marshall passed on.
But what happened now is you have a leader who's
(32:49):
sitting on the Supreme Court who probably has been there
longer than everybody else at this point, now having the
flag hang upside down, which it was a dog whistle
for people who felt like the election was stolen for
four days in his own homes backyard and then he
turns around and blames it on his wife. Who does this?
What country does Clarien Thomas. Clarence Thomas said, well, Clarence
(33:12):
Thomas slept with if he lives with is married to Jenny,
who also was sending out text messages and emails to
say that the election was so we are in such
a critical place Americans. And I understand y'all saying we
had ten dollars, we had twenty five hundred dollars. You
were stuck in the house in a pandemic. Of course
you had more money. You couldn't go anywhere to spend anything.
(33:33):
That's why Amazon made so much money, because you couldn't
go anywhere. We were stuck at a pandemic. Y'all keep forgetting.
Let's not forget how barbaric twenty twenty to twenty twenty
two was for all of America, for the whole world
with the pandemic, not just America. We lost a million
people from a president who said that the pandemic wasn't real.
(33:54):
Then he cut COVID and put everybody in jeopardy, and
his secret service people in jeopardy, and told you guys
to inject life in your damn veins. Please hear me.
I'm begging you to pay attention to where we are
because if you vote wrong because you think you're going
to make fifty more dollars or one hundred more dollars,
you're going to lose everything, everything, one more time everything.
(34:17):
Oh yeah, me get my boy.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
No, Alito's got real problems. Though, The New York Times
actually reported, I think it was today, that there he
had flown another flag at his vacation house. It was
called I was unaware of this appeal to Heaven flag.
It was carried by insurrectionists on January sixth. It can
be confirmed that it flew over his beach house in
July and in September of twenty twenty three. So it's
(34:42):
going to be kind of hard for him to speak
to people and say, okay, so the first one his
wife put up because she was arguing with a neighbor. Whatever,
what's the excuse for this one. These people are going
to have to recuse themselves, you know, from these cases.
But again, we just what do we say, ego, they're
(35:02):
not going to do so. So, but if Trump gets
in Project twenty twenty five, it's a real problem. If
he doesn't, then yeah, then there are half of the
stuff they might not get. They might not get passed anyway,
but this is what they want. They want.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
If he doesn't and if he doesn't get in, y'all
get past this fear about there's going to be some
kind of civil There is not going to be a
civil There's going to be some disgrunt too angry people.
We may have a few incidents, but most of the world,
that most of America does not want all of that fighting.
We don't want war. We want peace. We want to
live in harmony. We want to get along with each other.
Because no matter what you identify as, no matter your religion,
(35:41):
your sexuality, if you're an American, we're still all Americans.
Which is why me and Bobby work so well. She's
an Irish, Catholic, Caucasian single mother of one, She's an American.
I'm a Black American African transgender, single father, single father
of three, and I'm an American. That's what you have
to remember. Push some all them adjectives and pronouns and
(36:01):
all that conjunction junctions to the side, and let everything
we remember we're Americans first. We're Americans first.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
If we want to continue to be If we want
to tell you to be, Yeah, it's up to you.
Everybody has to do their due diligence. Look at this,
Look at some of the stuff that it's that. It's
telling you because it is. It is scary. The privement
of justice is who held Trump to the fire right?
If all of a sudden he dismantles them, then there's
(36:30):
nobody looking out over him or over anybody else. You know,
we're not looking for that. We need more, not less,
not more government, not more than what we have, but
we need more people looking out checks and balances. If
we do this and everything falls under him, all federal
organizations fall under him, there are no checks and balances.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Yeah, and we need more strength from the American people.
We need you to find your courage. We need you
to find your courage, and we need you to find
what's important for you. You your voice, your choice, your courage.
Because a lot of us are afraid and you think
that you have to go along with the masses. You
have a conscious decision, and you have a conscious hopefully
to let you know that we're not voting the past.
(37:13):
We live through there. The future looks bleak, but Look
what we're in right now. Look what we are in
right now, and where we are, and we less than
six months away from the biggest election of our lifetime.
Good god, I'm thirty nine years old. I can only
imagine what you would do, Bobby in your fifty eight years. Ah,
you're not a girl.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
You're not a girl. Listen, I'm telling you. But one
of the reasons something else to think about the difference
is between the two presidents. One of the reasons that
they're really going hard and heavy with this project twenty
twenty five. The GOP is not the Trump agenda. Piece
of it is because he was so ill prepared to
(37:52):
run the country when he first got in. For instance,
President Biden on his first day enacted twenty with twelve
hundred people in positions to get them moving, and Trump
did less than five hundred. He wasn't ready, So they
don't want him not ready. They're putting sort of they're
already interviewing, they already have like one on one courses
(38:16):
on how to run the country that they're the people
that they're interviewing are actually watching, so they can hit
the ground running. And I would hate to see people
that have been in a job for thirty forty years
looking to get their pension be bumped because they don't
they're not loyal to Trump, because that's what Trump is
looking for. It's not what's supposed to happen. But you
know that that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
And that is not what happens in government jobs and
government jobs, you have the aco you you have, you
have your your leaders, your team leaders. When you're part
of what do they call that a union? You have
union leaders? Oh what was that matter to him? Yeah?
That matters to him what you said, Bobby.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
I said, what union? Because there won't be one if
he gets in.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Yeah? Because yes, because he would not care. So you've
been in your job, you've been planning on retiring after
your forty years, and he didn't like what you said,
or he feels like you didn't support him. You will
lose your job and your pension. Social Security if Project
twenty twenty five passes. Social Security is the thing of
the past. We are paying taxes for nothing because there
(39:19):
won't be any more money. He's going to use it
for whatever he uses money for, which you know that
and which we know what he uses money for. Stormy
Daniels of Karen McDougal. But this is what we are
so think long term, think for yourself, think for your future,
thing for your family, your children, your grandchildren. Is scary, y'all.
And we're going to stay on this project twenty twenty
(39:40):
five because we are really pushing it. We don't want
you to do your homework and find points that we
didn't find. So next week inbox us on that laugh
and Learn podcast on Instagram, tell us what you want
us to address. We will do it. Bobby will cover
all because you know she's the research analyst. And thank
you guys for joining us here again here at Left Alone.
We appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
We need you give you what can I give you
one piece of good information before we sign off? Of course, Okay,
I think it's kind of it's kind of cool. Considering
where Trump is and with the case and everything, I
found it actually quite positive. So you know, we had elections,
and we had primary elections and then there was some
special elections. But in Georgia, Fannie Willis she won her seat.
(40:20):
Not only did she, but but the judge that's assigned
they won their elections, so they're staying in place. People
didn't vote her out, So not everybody's not liking or
like Trump said, she's not the worst. But unfortunately in California,
McCarthy's seat was was it was filled by another Republican.
I only say that because right now I feel like
(40:42):
I want people to work and well, maybe the new
guy will who knows well.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
California is probably one of the safest blue states in
the Union. California was probably the safest blue state in
the Union. And I live in California, so I can
say that. But let me tell you what Trump did
day one when he got an office. He took down
the LGBT whole website off the presidential pace. If he
did that's the first time he's already put out that
if he gets back in all medication, all protections for
(41:09):
he said for the transute, it's going to But that's
just that is just an overplay for the underplay. It
will be all trans people, self included. Vote for yourself.
If you don't know who to vote for, vote for yourself,
especially if you're part of the LGBT community, which means
vote for Biden, because Biden hears you, and he sees you,
and he acknowledges you. Oh my god, Bobby, we have
had a we had an episode today and I look
(41:30):
so cute here at laughing along, ladies and gentlemen. The
model will not change. It will never change here at
laughing aline. We are not trying to get you to
change your mind. We are only trying to get you
to use your mind.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Because why Bobby, Because a mind is a terrible thing
to waste.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
Yes, and some of y'all please don't waste your vote
to go with your mind, because we fought to get
these votes. Women. It's only been one hundred years that
you guys can vote black people. It has been less
than that for us, and we lost a lot of
people lost their lives so we could do this. Let's
get this done. Let's get this behind us. There is
strengthen numbers, and we need every number you got. If
you think that your vote don't count, you are sadly mistaken.
(42:04):
Your vote counts. And if we lose by one vote,
it's your father. I'm gonna say that every time say him.
Next week I will be doing don Lemon. And then
