Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, Hey, this is comedian Flame Monroe and welcome to
this week's episode of Laughing Learned Relationship. We are winding
down to twenty twenty six and were bringing it in
with a bang, a chiclange, and a chlaine. But I
couldn't bring it in by myself. I needed my Flameance,
my flammables, all of my people out there and laugh
and learn land And guess who we need, y'all? We
(00:23):
need our co hosts, the gorgeous missus Bobby Hi, you toots.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
High, your toots far from gorgeous today because I was
shoveling my hair. If you guys could see me, is
like crazy. I get a lump and a bump from
the hat and the scarf and the twenty five and
it feels like it's five degrees white.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Women and the white white women issues. Those are all
white she has had hairs. Those are white women issues.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Do I not have a lump in my head? And
I drive combed.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Twice with you on the phone. No, I don't see no,
damn lie. That's sure that happens to be your head.
Maybe somebody punched you in the head. Maybe you've had
hit in the head with that same eagle that Dave
Chappelle had at this especial got hit in the heats.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Luckily, luckily your penis didn't fall out.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Funny to me, I almost shut myself.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So we are here today, y'all because you know we
already know what's going on. We're gonna we're gonna touch
on him striking Nigeria because you know they want that oil.
This is an innocent country who has nothing to do
with nothing. But there is a method to his madness
because if we are in a war the sitting president,
there is no vote, no election for the sitting president.
He is doing all that he can not to leave
(01:32):
that seat. I don't care what come out of them
Epstein files. We have talked about that. He will laugh
and learned before them Epstein foles don't mean shit. Not
the way his people are set up. They don't give
a damn what he's doing. And there's some things that
has come out allegedly and those Epstein foles that are
absolutely horrific, including drowning a newborn baby and all kind
of stuff. So it is all kinds of things in
(01:54):
that nothing has shaken his base.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
So we'll get to that. Okay, Bye, what were going,
what we're doing, what we're doing. We did it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I think it's a recap, so we see, So we start,
So this is the short one. Guys, we're just we're
off for the holidays. But we didn't want you all
to forget about us, So we have to start from
the beginning. What did he promise versus what did he give? Right,
he promised us on day one he was gonna he
was gonna end well before.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Hold on, hold on, Bob, Before we start with him
on what he promised.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Let's start at the beginning of the year, which is
in January, before he even got elected, because we had
a lot of hope and promise with the way the
election going, we actually thought that our country was our
democracy would have some kind of salvage because you know,
Kamala Harris, vice President Harris was running for president.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Some of us really thought that she had a chance
in winning.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Some of us really believe or now I'm not gonna
even gonna say believe that she had a chance of winning.
We hoped and prayed, Yeah, we prayed she would get
that position so that we would not be in the
night mare that we are living in right now. But Unfortunately,
we are am so deep in the nightmare on Elm
Street in America.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
We are.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
When I saw her, I would say I prayed that
when we watched her in real time on the view
say she would change nothing. You know, every president, they
do their best, and they make mistakes, all presidents, and
some of its crapshoot right. Some of it's pure luck.
But Joe did make some, especially with the border. He
(03:25):
really wanted to have something passed through Congress, not by
executive order, and he just waited on the border with
closing it. So he did close it. In the end,
it was tight as a drum, very little was getting through.
And when she was asked, you know, would she have
done anything different, she said no, I can't think of anything.
It's okay to say, yeah, I probably would have closed
(03:47):
it earlier. You're not throwing him under the bus. But
I know that Joe wanted to have it go through
Congress and something that would have been lasting in staid
and not have something that would turn around, you know,
the minute you know, his term was over. So I
knew then she wasn't. I couldn't believe he was going
to get it. I hoped that I knew that shot
her in the foot, But I hope that enough people
wouldn't want crazy bones Jones running the country again and
(04:12):
only smokes was iron.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Well, I personally believe by that that was definitely a
X in one of her boxes. But that ain't why
she lost. She lost because of sexism in this country.
That's true, true, and racism and racism, but it was
more sexism than racism. They didn't want They don't want
a woman. They don't want a woman. They were because
we had a black but they don't want a woman period,
to be in no kind of shit form or charge,
(04:36):
which is why they're trying to take away the voting
rights for women. They trying to control the abortion and everything.
They completely trying to control how a woman thinks her narrative.
But he just kicked off the year with yt yet
yet yet yuck. So let's get into now. They want
to overturn Obamacare, the health Everything is declining in our
country right now under this administration, from the Pam bondy
(05:01):
to cash for tail to accept, to who else is
in charge, oh my god, to Christy No, to so
many ruthless, unqualified it experienced people putting the positions of
power to destroy our country. Nevertheless, we got some right
spots that happened in our in this doing up under
this these last eleven months. Because here's the thing. November fourth,
(05:24):
we had a blue wave. The country is suing that
we don't want this bullshit any longer. So we had
a blue wave. A lot of seats have been overturned
from red to blue and red states. So it is
not that we cannot win and we don't have the
capacity to win. It's just that they are playing so
dirty and cheating so hard. Bobby, it's real hard pushing
the rock up in here when somebody's standing at the
(05:45):
top hole in another rock. So as soon as you
get that rock up, not only do they kick that
rock on, even then they throw another one on top
of it. And that's how I feel like as a
as an American right now, you do your damn just
to get shit down.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I don't know if they're cheating, of flame, because they're
coming out and telling us that's not cheating. They're saying,
this is what I'm going to do. He said right
from the beginning, I'm going to be a disruptor. He
is in something.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
When I said, hold on by before you get in.
I want you to lose my thought. Not cheating in
that capacity. I'm talking about cheating at the polls, the election.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh oh, okay, okay, I see where you're going.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Allegedly, because he openly said that Eli musk knew computers
better than anybody else, that he went to Pennsylvania to
do whatever he did to rig I mean, to work
on those machines, and they all came out of his
favor and down. Allegedly, Elion musk knew the election results
four hours before a of us did. When I say cheating,
that's what I mean. As far as cheating the country.
(06:46):
You're right, Bobby, in our face. He told us exactly
what he's going to do as far as that goes.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And the rest of them. And so what happened, just
like it did the first term that he was in.
He made it okay for people to be bummed, bastic
and rude and you know, unforgiving and make fun of people,
you know, whatever their weaknesses are. He made it okay,
you know. So he's doing the same thing and people
(07:13):
fell in line, you know, they followed him. So it's
okay to say someone's fat to their face, they're fat,
It's okay to make fun of a special needs person,
that's okay. I mean he called the vice presidential nominee
for the Democrats, he called them a retard. When when
was that okay? That is like for people who have
special needs in their family, that's like the N word
for them, because it's only it's only said to be detrimental.
(07:36):
It's not said to explain or it's meant to tear
somebody down. Period. So but he told us, we did it,
and now we're kind of living it. We're living it again.
But the lies they'll tell, that's where I'm surprised. I
said to you in the beginning, I thought our system
would be a little stronger than it is, and stop it.
My question is at my ripe old age, and I'm
(07:57):
not saying it. Who holds him accountable? I thought somebody
held the president accounovo and it can't be out other
than at the ballots. But I thought Congress, like, he
goes ahead and changes the name of a living memorial,
the Kennedy Center for the Arts, John F. Kennedy's memorial,
so instead of.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
A big, you know, a statue of him on a hill,
they had a living memorial that was this, this event space,
he puts this, he slaps his name on it.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It's illegal, it has to go through Congress has to
vote it. Not the board say it's okay. Now in
the end, do I think that will be turned around,
because it'll end up going to the Supreme Court, costing
us a bazillion dollars to be to be heard, and
then we probably paid one hundred and fifty thousand to
have some slob stand on scaffolding and hang up the
But like why he just tries to say that he
(08:48):
can get.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Away with Well, yeah, and this ain't this ain't just
about Trump. We got we have.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
We made a whole lot of leaps and bounds. No,
it's about us. Well, let's go to the leaps of
bounds that we did make. The bad was the tariff wars.
Because the tear wars have not worked out in his
favor or in the American consumer's favor. DEEI wokeness sadly
over three hundred thousand black women. I said, black women
(09:14):
have lost their positions. And these are educated, these a
lot of these women have degrees, have lost their positions
because of under his DEI under his administration.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
People are firing people left their right. It's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
They opened up that alligated Alcatraz would turned out to
be a nightmare, very expensive for the country, lucrative, I
guess for the state of Florida in that area.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
But it has turned out to be a disaster.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
So many people have died under allegedly in alligated Alcatraz
because of the horrible conditions. Now what I will command
this administration is is they supposedly stop the fencannel from
coming into the country. But I do believe that a
lot of people in Venezuela. If you just a sailor
in Venezuela fishermen and they see your boat from from
(10:00):
long range, they don't know. I think they're just blowing
up anybody's boats. It's been so much, so much bad
stuff happens and AI AI, and as much as AI
is going to be, it's going to take jobs. It's
going to be very scary for the country. There are
some things they AI will be a plus with. The
sad part is the sad part about AI is they
(10:22):
can't control it. Once it gets going, it's something that
you cannot control. It will create a mind. It's like
the movie. They're Incredibles when a guy created the machine
and the machine gets smarter as you farted because it
learns your tactics.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So that's what it's going to do.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's going to use I attacktics against us to defeat us,
and it's going to be crazy. Another thing that has
come out in the dark and twenty twenty five is
the vaccines. So many stories about the vaccines. I was
always very leery about it, even though I was not
anti vaccine. I was anti that vaccine. But there's so
many horror stories now that's coming out with the aftermath
(10:58):
of the vaccines that's supposed to be and so many
different things. You know your body better than anybody else.
If you took that shot and things that happened that
you didn't think what happened. And here's the sad part,
you'll never know because you don't know what life was
going to deal you whether you took the vaccine or not.
You know what I'm saying, Bobby, So you took it
(11:20):
under the pretense what they were saying that it's going
to save you, it's going to stop you from catching COVID,
it's going to give you this resistance. But that ain't
what it's looking like on the other side. And now
they talking about the black boxes they're going after people.
I encouraged people to do what you wanted to do.
I was never an anti vaccine. I just didn't want
it for myself. And if you were a personal friend
of mine and somebody I loved, I will tell you
(11:40):
not to take it.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I distinctly asked, Bobby, Girl, don't take it. Oohn did not, Bobby.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
But I had three times. And I have to tell you,
I didn't have any when you had to sign something.
And it wasn't to not catch COVID. It was to
make the symptoms much less. And let me tell you,
I had COVID once and I got to be honest
with I thought it was dying. I was very lucky
and got the pexlovid. And when I had the pexlavid
in my body for twenty four hours, I was shampooing
(12:06):
the carpets and washing the walls the next day, and
doing it that first day, I couldn't lift my head.
I was so weak. I've never my life been so weak.
But they did sign it. They didn't know they Their
best guess was it was X and it was gonna
help with you know, X y Z. But that's all vaccines.
So see, I'm not a Do they come up with
it quickly, yes, But for me, because I'm heavy and
(12:29):
I was in a weak spot, I took it. You know,
because I'm a caretaker. I cannot not take you know,
I have to take care of my special needs sister
and my elderly mother and my son who has issues
health issues and mental health issues. So I needed to
be I'm gonna have to be the strong one. So
I took it. And I have to say I didn't
have any My mother was down for three days with it.
(12:51):
She took it and it was like she got COVID,
not me. But I was lucky. But there are people
that are that there is stuff happening, you know, it
does happen. That's everything.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, and outside of those vaccines, ladies them because I
never tell y'all not to do it.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
That's just it wasn't for me. Yeah, for you.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
We also had We also had those that came in
and with like a record ball and just ruined a
lot of things in the mirror. It's so many things.
But I think the medical reform is going to be
the biggest. I think when people's premiums go up next
month and they're paying these asking amounts astrodamic amount of
money for insurance premiums, I think that's going to be
the nail of his call for more than anything else,
(13:27):
because now it's going to be a bunch of walking
around people uninsured America. You can't even go to the doctor.
I had a girlfriend who just told me she went
to go do an replacement two weeks ago. She's a
former nurse, and she had insurance and everything, but she
left her insurance car and her deductibles.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I think like twenty two hundred dollars do you know?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
The morning of her surgery, Thank god that she got
there two hours early, because the morning off her surgery,
they told her that she had to go home to
get her credit card or her money because they would
not service her until they had it first.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And that is what is going to become, Bobby. Imagine
people who don't have it.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, you always have to pay your out of pocket
because what happens is people don't pay and it's not
the hospital's fault. A lot of hospitals are running on
a shoe string. You know, if you're not a large
academic teaching facility, you know, and get grants and everything,
and he's cut everything, you know. And if he's cut like,
he's cut all sorts of stuff with Harvard, and that's
where all my hospitals are all all affiliated with that.
(14:24):
They're running our shoe strings so they can't afford that
twenty two hundred. I can tell you I am getting
my healthcare through ACA because everybody knows. I've been laid
off since March. If you have any project management jobs,
please help me now. And mine is going up one
hundred and seventy two dollars next month.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Did you see because everybody's is not just through ACA,
everybody's insurance is going up. Did you get a bill
for yours? Have you paid attention to yours?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Youirl? I know I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'm gonna go to open on the envelope.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm gonna go to the hospital and sell them something
so I'm gonna make sure they take care of me.
I'm I'm gonna be selling some but I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Don't want to go without it. You need the healthcare
because not having the healthcare, if you actually got sick,
it would be awful catastrophic, and that's something that they're
talking about, and listening to the Sunday shows they're going to,
they're talking about one of the So let's be completely
transparent with everybody. President Obama, in his whole group, nobody
thought that the Affordable Care Act was a fix for healthcare.
(15:24):
What they were hoping is and it did. It got
twenty two million people that didn't have it before. In short,
healthcare is broken in the United States. We have very
demanding patients who want everything right now. They want that
MRI today. They don't want to wait, so, you know,
wait for a certain period of time. Everybody wants to
see their certain doctor. There's all sorts of research that
the United States is almost responsible for for doing that
(15:48):
all cost money. It's it's so broken and layered and complicated.
You know, I remember President Obama and this I'm paraphrasing.
This isn't all exactly what he said. He was basically saying,
this was a great first step, This is the best
we could get across in a bipartisan congress. But he
was hoping that somebody else would come along and fix it,
(16:09):
make it better, ACA better as well as fix fixed
health care because it is. I remember when I got
my masters, and that was like eight or nine years ago,
it was eighteen percent of the GDP healthcare in the
United States. I think it's twenty percent, one fifth of
our gross domestic product in the United States. That is ridiculous.
(16:30):
Nowhere else, no out country. So we've got to fix
it and holding out and getting catastrophic plans back. That's
when you get hit by a bus, you have insurance,
but when you're sick, our emergency rooms will be full
again if we do catastrophic plans. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Well, I'm going to suggest this you guys, stay healthy, ehealthy,
get in the gym, exercise, walk, run, whatever you need
to do.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Keep yourself healthy because accidents what happened, but your health.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
If you can keep your health, keep your health, because
I'm telling you right now, I'm trying to avoid any
hospitals that can because not only am I transgender in
this country and they looking at us crazy right now,
but I'm black and I believe they are doing a
lot of organ harvest thing. And this is my own
conspiracy theory. So I ain't trying for me or none
of my black children and go to nobody's hospital. Now, Bobby,
(17:17):
what I will say is that he passed he has
passed thirty eight b ors through Congress in his first
in his term, just since he been in office. But
he has signed two hundred and twenty executive orders in
the first year of his second term.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, two hundred and twenty ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Do you see the numbers?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Do you see the number?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Do you see the numbers? Though, of what everybody else
twenty five Biden had, he only had twenty one his
first term. He's got to because he can't get anything passed.
I know, thirty eight sounds like a lot of people.
Thirty eight is the lowest in history that we've actually
got passed, you know, bipartus, and that people voted. He's
doing everything by executive order, which means it'll be turned
around like that once he's out.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, that's because Bobby, what you just said, you just
said that. What did you just say about him about
the health care and him? Everything has to be passed
through Congress. He controls the Congress, the Senate, the Supreme Court, everything,
and he's the president all up under the Republican Party.
So that is why things are moving in his favor
(18:23):
because they are all afraid to say no.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, he's trying to expand the presidential power, which is
what our four or fives did not want. That's why
they made the three equal branches. He is equal to
the judicial you know in the congressional but you know
it's all equal. But who's holding him accountable? Flame? That's
what he does something outrageous and nobody, nobody spanks his hand.
(18:49):
I keep going back to the gent that God got
exiled and was put down in prison, and was it
El Salvador and the Skota said bring him back, facilitate
him being brought back. I think it was a month
and a half before they brought him back.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
It's also what Vice President Harris said when she was
running for election during the debate. If he wins, he
will have unchallenged power. Then nobody will be there to
check the checks and balances. And that is what he has,
and that is what we have put him in that
position to do. We have we have put him there.
So yeah, we we have to fix it. We have
(19:31):
to fix it as Americans, as Funker party, Funcker partisanship,
we have to fix it because it's crazy, crazy, crazy
Oh that's cute.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Okay, So let me tell you somebody.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Vote.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I'm gonna tell you definitely do that. Make sure you're
reasister to vote because the primaries are coming. But I
do believe that the reason that this war is going
on with that he's trying to kick off with bombing
Nageria on Christmas Day because they want that oil, or
fighting with bombing Venezuela, because he found out and he
publicly said this maybe six months ago, that he found
(20:05):
like he had just heard it for the first time,
that if we are in a war, there will be
no elections, so the sitting president will remain sitting in
the same seat that he's sitting in, which also goes
back to why would you allow somebody who has a
job for four years who should be out after this
four years? Is you only get two turns. But they're
changing those rules too to destroy the East Wing and
(20:27):
build your own ball room when you're going to be
gone in four years. What if the next president don't
want that and then they want to tear it down
and take it back to its original form. All of
that money is coming out of the taxpayer, the consumer,
yours and mine purse, or pocket or account.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
The fixes, yep, yep, the fixes. To go back to
your first point, and then I'm going to come to
the second. Isn't it funny that he accused President Zelenski
of trying to stay in the war so he stays in,
and when what you're saying, if that was ever true
that he was looking to get in a war so
he can stay on. But it's funny. It's like your
rubber on glue, so he's putting his his feelings on
(21:04):
somebody else. He's transferring. And then to your second point.
That was sort of my my point all along is
that nobody is checking him. You're not supposed to do
anything to the to the White House without usually this
money attached, because you have to ask for the purse.
But in this case he's getting private donation supposedly, but
you still don't change the structure of the building. He's
(21:25):
making the White the Do we need a ball room
we've spoken about this before, Yeah, we probably did, but
to the size that it's going to be. No, you
don't have it bigger, that the addition be bigger than
the original house. It has to all meld. He should
have asked all of the historians, you know, and that
whole construction crew over there. What could I build and
what's the right size and have them right fit it?
(21:46):
How many times do you actually have a thousand people
in a room? I don't know. I don't know how
many dinners that you have that are that are actually
that big. So but nobody's holding him accountable to it.
He went in and I told you I felt a
certain way when I sell those bulldozer's going off to
the east wing, and I thought, oh my god, all
those wonderful memories of all the little kids going in
(22:07):
and going in through there and having their tours and
all of that is absolutely gone.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
What do they say?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
The west wing is like the brains of the operation,
and the East wing was always the harsh and to
tear the heart out, I just don't It's funny the heart.
The brain doesn't work unless the heart is pumping. And
he tore it down like blink, and nobody stopped him.
So I think that we do need to The elections
are coming in one short year less and I think
(22:36):
we need to get out there and vote. Go get
your grammy, get your Grammy's friends. I don't care if
you go into the assisted living and gathering them all up.
Get people. We have to get those nine million people
who stayed home this last election out.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
We want to acknowledge all the people that we have
lost in twenty twenty five. I'm not going to go
down there and list the list is long, but you
know we've lost a lot of icons, musical icons, actors, actresses, politicians,
so many personal people in our lives. Thank God that
you are alive and that you are healthy enough to say,
thank you God. I don't know who you believe in,
but whoever you believe in, thank them. If you are

Hey, Hey, this is comedian Flame Monroe and welcome to
this week's episode of Laughing Learned Relationship. We are winding
down to twenty twenty six and were bringing it in
with a bang, a chiclange, and a chlaine. But I
couldn't bring it in by myself. I needed my Flameance,
my flammables, all of my people out there and laugh
and learn land And guess who we need, y'all? We
(00:23):
need our co hosts, the gorgeous missus Bobby Hi, you toots.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
High, your toots far from gorgeous today because I was
shoveling my hair. If you guys could see me, is
like crazy. I get a lump and a bump from
the hat and the scarf and the twenty five and
it feels like it's five degrees white.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Women and the white white women issues. Those are all
white she has had hairs. Those are white women issues.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Do I not have a lump in my head? And
I drive combed.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Twice with you on the phone. No, I don't see no,
damn lie. That's sure that happens to be your head.
Maybe somebody punched you in the head. Maybe you've had
hit in the head with that same eagle that Dave
Chappelle had at this especial got hit in the heats.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Luckily, luckily your penis didn't fall out.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Funny to me, I almost shut myself.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So we are here today, y'all because you know we
already know what's going on. We're gonna we're gonna touch
on him striking Nigeria because you know they want that oil.
This is an innocent country who has nothing to do
with nothing. But there is a method to his madness
because if we are in a war the sitting president,
there is no vote, no election for the sitting president.
He is doing all that he can not to leave
(01:32):
that seat. I don't care what come out of them
Epstein files. We have talked about that. He will laugh
and learned before them Epstein foles don't mean shit. Not
the way his people are set up. They don't give
a damn what he's doing. And there's some things that
has come out allegedly and those Epstein foles that are
absolutely horrific, including drowning a newborn baby and all kind
of stuff. So it is all kinds of things in
(01:54):
that nothing has shaken his base.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
So we'll get to that. Okay, Bye, what were going,
what we're doing, what we're doing. We did it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I think it's a recap, so we see, So we start,
So this is the short one. Guys, we're just we're
off for the holidays. But we didn't want you all
to forget about us, So we have to start from
the beginning. What did he promise versus what did he give? Right,
he promised us on day one he was gonna he
was gonna end well before.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Hold on, hold on, Bob, Before we start with him
on what he promised.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Let's start at the beginning of the year, which is
in January, before he even got elected, because we had
a lot of hope and promise with the way the
election going, we actually thought that our country was our
democracy would have some kind of salvage because you know,
Kamala Harris, vice President Harris was running for president.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Some of us really thought that she had a chance
in winning.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Some of us really believe or now I'm not gonna
even gonna say believe that she had a chance of winning.
We hoped and prayed, Yeah, we prayed she would get
that position so that we would not be in the
night mare that we are living in right now. But Unfortunately,
we are am so deep in the nightmare on Elm
Street in America.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
We are.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
When I saw her, I would say I prayed that
when we watched her in real time on the view
say she would change nothing. You know, every president, they
do their best, and they make mistakes, all presidents, and
some of its crapshoot right. Some of it's pure luck.
But Joe did make some, especially with the border. He
(03:25):
really wanted to have something passed through Congress, not by
executive order, and he just waited on the border with
closing it. So he did close it. In the end,
it was tight as a drum, very little was getting through.
And when she was asked, you know, would she have
done anything different, she said no, I can't think of anything.
It's okay to say, yeah, I probably would have closed
(03:47):
it earlier. You're not throwing him under the bus. But
I know that Joe wanted to have it go through
Congress and something that would have been lasting in staid
and not have something that would turn around, you know,
the minute you know, his term was over. So I
knew then she wasn't. I couldn't believe he was going
to get it. I hoped that I knew that shot
her in the foot, But I hope that enough people
wouldn't want crazy bones Jones running the country again and
(04:12):
only smokes was iron.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Well, I personally believe by that that was definitely a
X in one of her boxes. But that ain't why
she lost. She lost because of sexism in this country.
That's true, true, and racism and racism, but it was
more sexism than racism. They didn't want They don't want
a woman. They don't want a woman. They were because
we had a black but they don't want a woman period,
to be in no kind of shit form or charge,
(04:36):
which is why they're trying to take away the voting
rights for women. They trying to control the abortion and everything.
They completely trying to control how a woman thinks her narrative.
But he just kicked off the year with yt yet
yet yet yuck. So let's get into now. They want
to overturn Obamacare, the health Everything is declining in our
country right now under this administration, from the Pam bondy
(05:01):
to cash for tail to accept, to who else is
in charge, oh my god, to Christy No, to so
many ruthless, unqualified it experienced people putting the positions of
power to destroy our country. Nevertheless, we got some right
spots that happened in our in this doing up under
this these last eleven months. Because here's the thing. November fourth,
(05:24):
we had a blue wave. The country is suing that
we don't want this bullshit any longer. So we had
a blue wave. A lot of seats have been overturned
from red to blue and red states. So it is
not that we cannot win and we don't have the
capacity to win. It's just that they are playing so
dirty and cheating so hard. Bobby, it's real hard pushing
the rock up in here when somebody's standing at the
(05:45):
top hole in another rock. So as soon as you
get that rock up, not only do they kick that
rock on, even then they throw another one on top
of it. And that's how I feel like as a
as an American right now, you do your damn just
to get shit down.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I don't know if they're cheating, of flame, because they're
coming out and telling us that's not cheating. They're saying,
this is what I'm going to do. He said right
from the beginning, I'm going to be a disruptor. He
is in something.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
When I said, hold on by before you get in.
I want you to lose my thought. Not cheating in
that capacity. I'm talking about cheating at the polls, the election.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh oh, okay, okay, I see where you're going.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Allegedly, because he openly said that Eli musk knew computers
better than anybody else, that he went to Pennsylvania to
do whatever he did to rig I mean, to work
on those machines, and they all came out of his
favor and down. Allegedly, Elion musk knew the election results
four hours before a of us did. When I say cheating,
that's what I mean. As far as cheating the country.
(06:46):
You're right, Bobby, in our face. He told us exactly
what he's going to do as far as that goes.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And the rest of them. And so what happened, just
like it did the first term that he was in.
He made it okay for people to be bummed, bastic
and rude and you know, unforgiving and make fun of people,
you know, whatever their weaknesses are. He made it okay,
you know. So he's doing the same thing and people
(07:13):
fell in line, you know, they followed him. So it's
okay to say someone's fat to their face, they're fat,
It's okay to make fun of a special needs person,
that's okay. I mean he called the vice presidential nominee
for the Democrats, he called them a retard. When when
was that okay? That is like for people who have
special needs in their family, that's like the N word
for them, because it's only it's only said to be detrimental.
(07:36):
It's not said to explain or it's meant to tear
somebody down. Period. So but he told us, we did it,
and now we're kind of living it. We're living it again.
But the lies they'll tell, that's where I'm surprised. I
said to you in the beginning, I thought our system
would be a little stronger than it is, and stop it.
My question is at my ripe old age, and I'm
(07:57):
not saying it. Who holds him accountable? I thought somebody
held the president accounovo and it can't be out other
than at the ballots. But I thought Congress, like, he
goes ahead and changes the name of a living memorial,
the Kennedy Center for the Arts, John F. Kennedy's memorial,
so instead of.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
A big, you know, a statue of him on a hill,
they had a living memorial that was this, this event space,
he puts this, he slaps his name on it.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It's illegal, it has to go through Congress has to
vote it. Not the board say it's okay. Now in
the end, do I think that will be turned around,
because it'll end up going to the Supreme Court, costing
us a bazillion dollars to be to be heard, and
then we probably paid one hundred and fifty thousand to
have some slob stand on scaffolding and hang up the
But like why he just tries to say that he
(08:48):
can get.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Away with Well, yeah, and this ain't this ain't just
about Trump. We got we have.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
We made a whole lot of leaps and bounds. No,
it's about us. Well, let's go to the leaps of
bounds that we did make. The bad was the tariff wars.
Because the tear wars have not worked out in his
favor or in the American consumer's favor. DEEI wokeness sadly
over three hundred thousand black women. I said, black women
(09:14):
have lost their positions. And these are educated, these a
lot of these women have degrees, have lost their positions
because of under his DEI under his administration.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
People are firing people left their right. It's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
They opened up that alligated Alcatraz would turned out to
be a nightmare, very expensive for the country, lucrative, I
guess for the state of Florida in that area.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
But it has turned out to be a disaster.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
So many people have died under allegedly in alligated Alcatraz
because of the horrible conditions. Now what I will command
this administration is is they supposedly stop the fencannel from
coming into the country. But I do believe that a
lot of people in Venezuela. If you just a sailor
in Venezuela fishermen and they see your boat from from
(10:00):
long range, they don't know. I think they're just blowing
up anybody's boats. It's been so much, so much bad
stuff happens and AI AI, and as much as AI
is going to be, it's going to take jobs. It's
going to be very scary for the country. There are
some things they AI will be a plus with. The
sad part is the sad part about AI is they
(10:22):
can't control it. Once it gets going, it's something that
you cannot control. It will create a mind. It's like
the movie. They're Incredibles when a guy created the machine
and the machine gets smarter as you farted because it
learns your tactics.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So that's what it's going to do.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's going to use I attacktics against us to defeat us,
and it's going to be crazy. Another thing that has
come out in the dark and twenty twenty five is
the vaccines. So many stories about the vaccines. I was
always very leery about it, even though I was not
anti vaccine. I was anti that vaccine. But there's so
many horror stories now that's coming out with the aftermath
(10:58):
of the vaccines that's supposed to be and so many
different things. You know your body better than anybody else.
If you took that shot and things that happened that
you didn't think what happened. And here's the sad part,
you'll never know because you don't know what life was
going to deal you whether you took the vaccine or not.
You know what I'm saying, Bobby, So you took it
(11:20):
under the pretense what they were saying that it's going
to save you, it's going to stop you from catching COVID,
it's going to give you this resistance. But that ain't
what it's looking like on the other side. And now
they talking about the black boxes they're going after people.
I encouraged people to do what you wanted to do.
I was never an anti vaccine. I just didn't want
it for myself. And if you were a personal friend
of mine and somebody I loved, I will tell you
(11:40):
not to take it.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I distinctly asked, Bobby, Girl, don't take it. Oohn did not, Bobby.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
But I had three times. And I have to tell you,
I didn't have any when you had to sign something.
And it wasn't to not catch COVID. It was to
make the symptoms much less. And let me tell you,
I had COVID once and I got to be honest
with I thought it was dying. I was very lucky
and got the pexlovid. And when I had the pexlavid
in my body for twenty four hours, I was shampooing
(12:06):
the carpets and washing the walls the next day, and
doing it that first day, I couldn't lift my head.
I was so weak. I've never my life been so weak.
But they did sign it. They didn't know they Their
best guess was it was X and it was gonna
help with you know, X y Z. But that's all vaccines.
So see, I'm not a Do they come up with
it quickly, yes, But for me, because I'm heavy and
(12:29):
I was in a weak spot, I took it. You know,
because I'm a caretaker. I cannot not take you know,
I have to take care of my special needs sister
and my elderly mother and my son who has issues
health issues and mental health issues. So I needed to
be I'm gonna have to be the strong one. So
I took it. And I have to say I didn't
have any My mother was down for three days with it.
(12:51):
She took it and it was like she got COVID,
not me. But I was lucky. But there are people
that are that there is stuff happening, you know, it
does happen. That's everything.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, and outside of those vaccines, ladies them because I
never tell y'all not to do it.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
That's just it wasn't for me. Yeah, for you.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
We also had We also had those that came in
and with like a record ball and just ruined a
lot of things in the mirror. It's so many things.
But I think the medical reform is going to be
the biggest. I think when people's premiums go up next
month and they're paying these asking amounts astrodamic amount of
money for insurance premiums, I think that's going to be
the nail of his call for more than anything else,
(13:27):
because now it's going to be a bunch of walking
around people uninsured America. You can't even go to the doctor.
I had a girlfriend who just told me she went
to go do an replacement two weeks ago. She's a
former nurse, and she had insurance and everything, but she
left her insurance car and her deductibles.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I think like twenty two hundred dollars do you know?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
The morning of her surgery, Thank god that she got
there two hours early, because the morning off her surgery,
they told her that she had to go home to
get her credit card or her money because they would
not service her until they had it first.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And that is what is going to become, Bobby. Imagine
people who don't have it.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, you always have to pay your out of pocket
because what happens is people don't pay and it's not
the hospital's fault. A lot of hospitals are running on
a shoe string. You know, if you're not a large
academic teaching facility, you know, and get grants and everything,
and he's cut everything, you know. And if he's cut like,
he's cut all sorts of stuff with Harvard, and that's
where all my hospitals are all all affiliated with that.
(14:24):
They're running our shoe strings so they can't afford that
twenty two hundred. I can tell you I am getting
my healthcare through ACA because everybody knows. I've been laid
off since March. If you have any project management jobs,
please help me now. And mine is going up one
hundred and seventy two dollars next month.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Did you see because everybody's is not just through ACA,
everybody's insurance is going up. Did you get a bill
for yours? Have you paid attention to yours?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Youirl? I know I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'm gonna go to open on the envelope.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm gonna go to the hospital and sell them something
so I'm gonna make sure they take care of me.
I'm I'm gonna be selling some but I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Don't want to go without it. You need the healthcare
because not having the healthcare, if you actually got sick,
it would be awful catastrophic, and that's something that they're
talking about, and listening to the Sunday shows they're going to,
they're talking about one of the So let's be completely
transparent with everybody. President Obama, in his whole group, nobody
thought that the Affordable Care Act was a fix for healthcare.
(15:24):
What they were hoping is and it did. It got
twenty two million people that didn't have it before. In short,
healthcare is broken in the United States. We have very
demanding patients who want everything right now. They want that
MRI today. They don't want to wait, so, you know,
wait for a certain period of time. Everybody wants to
see their certain doctor. There's all sorts of research that
the United States is almost responsible for for doing that
(15:48):
all cost money. It's it's so broken and layered and complicated.
You know, I remember President Obama and this I'm paraphrasing.
This isn't all exactly what he said. He was basically saying,
this was a great first step, This is the best
we could get across in a bipartisan congress. But he
was hoping that somebody else would come along and fix it,
(16:09):
make it better, ACA better as well as fix fixed
health care because it is. I remember when I got
my masters, and that was like eight or nine years ago,
it was eighteen percent of the GDP healthcare in the
United States. I think it's twenty percent, one fifth of
our gross domestic product in the United States. That is ridiculous.
(16:30):
Nowhere else, no out country. So we've got to fix
it and holding out and getting catastrophic plans back. That's
when you get hit by a bus, you have insurance,
but when you're sick, our emergency rooms will be full
again if we do catastrophic plans. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Well, I'm going to suggest this you guys, stay healthy, ehealthy,
get in the gym, exercise, walk, run, whatever you need
to do.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Keep yourself healthy because accidents what happened, but your health.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
If you can keep your health, keep your health, because
I'm telling you right now, I'm trying to avoid any
hospitals that can because not only am I transgender in
this country and they looking at us crazy right now,
but I'm black and I believe they are doing a
lot of organ harvest thing. And this is my own
conspiracy theory. So I ain't trying for me or none
of my black children and go to nobody's hospital. Now, Bobby,
(17:17):
what I will say is that he passed he has
passed thirty eight b ors through Congress in his first
in his term, just since he been in office. But
he has signed two hundred and twenty executive orders in
the first year of his second term.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, two hundred and twenty ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Do you see the numbers?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Do you see the number?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Do you see the numbers? Though, of what everybody else
twenty five Biden had, he only had twenty one his
first term. He's got to because he can't get anything passed.
I know, thirty eight sounds like a lot of people.
Thirty eight is the lowest in history that we've actually
got passed, you know, bipartus, and that people voted. He's
doing everything by executive order, which means it'll be turned
around like that once he's out.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, that's because Bobby, what you just said, you just
said that. What did you just say about him about
the health care and him? Everything has to be passed
through Congress. He controls the Congress, the Senate, the Supreme Court, everything,
and he's the president all up under the Republican Party.
So that is why things are moving in his favor
(18:23):
because they are all afraid to say no.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, he's trying to expand the presidential power, which is
what our four or fives did not want. That's why
they made the three equal branches. He is equal to
the judicial you know in the congressional but you know
it's all equal. But who's holding him accountable? Flame? That's
what he does something outrageous and nobody, nobody spanks his hand.
(18:49):
I keep going back to the gent that God got
exiled and was put down in prison, and was it
El Salvador and the Skota said bring him back, facilitate
him being brought back. I think it was a month
and a half before they brought him back.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
It's also what Vice President Harris said when she was
running for election during the debate. If he wins, he
will have unchallenged power. Then nobody will be there to
check the checks and balances. And that is what he has,
and that is what we have put him in that
position to do. We have we have put him there.
So yeah, we we have to fix it. We have
(19:31):
to fix it as Americans, as Funker party, Funcker partisanship,
we have to fix it because it's crazy, crazy, crazy
Oh that's cute.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Okay, So let me tell you somebody.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Vote.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I'm gonna tell you definitely do that. Make sure you're
reasister to vote because the primaries are coming. But I
do believe that the reason that this war is going
on with that he's trying to kick off with bombing
Nageria on Christmas Day because they want that oil, or
fighting with bombing Venezuela, because he found out and he
publicly said this maybe six months ago, that he found
(20:05):
like he had just heard it for the first time,
that if we are in a war, there will be
no elections, so the sitting president will remain sitting in
the same seat that he's sitting in, which also goes
back to why would you allow somebody who has a
job for four years who should be out after this
four years? Is you only get two turns. But they're
changing those rules too to destroy the East Wing and
(20:27):
build your own ball room when you're going to be
gone in four years. What if the next president don't
want that and then they want to tear it down
and take it back to its original form. All of
that money is coming out of the taxpayer, the consumer,
yours and mine purse, or pocket or account.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
The fixes, yep, yep, the fixes. To go back to
your first point, and then I'm going to come to
the second. Isn't it funny that he accused President Zelenski
of trying to stay in the war so he stays in,
and when what you're saying, if that was ever true
that he was looking to get in a war so
he can stay on. But it's funny. It's like your
rubber on glue, so he's putting his his feelings on
(21:04):
somebody else. He's transferring. And then to your second point.
That was sort of my my point all along is
that nobody is checking him. You're not supposed to do
anything to the to the White House without usually this
money attached, because you have to ask for the purse.
But in this case he's getting private donation supposedly, but
you still don't change the structure of the building. He's
(21:25):
making the White the Do we need a ball room
we've spoken about this before, Yeah, we probably did, but
to the size that it's going to be. No, you
don't have it bigger, that the addition be bigger than
the original house. It has to all meld. He should
have asked all of the historians, you know, and that
whole construction crew over there. What could I build and
what's the right size and have them right fit it?
(21:46):
How many times do you actually have a thousand people
in a room? I don't know. I don't know how
many dinners that you have that are that are actually
that big. So but nobody's holding him accountable to it.
He went in and I told you I felt a
certain way when I sell those bulldozer's going off to
the east wing, and I thought, oh my god, all
those wonderful memories of all the little kids going in
(22:07):
and going in through there and having their tours and
all of that is absolutely gone.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
What do they say?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
The west wing is like the brains of the operation,
and the East wing was always the harsh and to
tear the heart out, I just don't It's funny the heart.
The brain doesn't work unless the heart is pumping. And
he tore it down like blink, and nobody stopped him.
So I think that we do need to The elections
are coming in one short year less and I think
(22:36):
we need to get out there and vote. Go get
your grammy, get your Grammy's friends. I don't care if
you go into the assisted living and gathering them all up.
Get people. We have to get those nine million people
who stayed home this last election out.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
We want to acknowledge all the people that we have
lost in twenty twenty five. I'm not going to go
down there and list the list is long, but you
know we've lost a lot of icons, musical icons, actors, actresses, politicians,
so many personal people in our lives. Thank God that
you are alive and that you are healthy enough to say,
thank you God. I don't know who you believe in,
but whoever you believe in, thank them. If you are
(23:14):
an atheist, thank whoever you believe in, because y'all don't
believe in shit but long meals and short days, so
y'all can have that. Because I'm not gonna fall under
that criteria. We're not going to stay here long because
we're going to close out twenty twenty twenty five and
