Speaker 4 (02:35):
Listen, we're coming back for season five, and I'm telling
you it's not only because of you guys.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
It's because of Black Effect.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And it's this truth that's coming out being Bobby's mouth
about being an American citizen in this crazy country.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
But we're gonna get to that in a minute. Bobby,
we lost somebody this week. Who do we lose?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh, we lose a couple. We learned, we lost a congressman,
but we lost Norm from Cheers.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Oh yeah, George Wins went, uh huh, you went to
the bathroom, but he went to heaven right now?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
He went to heaven and his bad he would they
found him inly. I mean a beauty terrible for the family,
a beautiful way for for someone to pass.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, to transition.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yes, that's absolutely wonderful. And we lost Jerry Conley. He
was a Virginia Democrat. He had a sophag jail cancer.
He made the announcement in November, I think, and said
that he wouldn't run another term. But I don't think
they were expecting him to go to go as as
quickly as that which is well.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Rest in peace to both of those men.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Uh shout out to both the families from us. Our
heart goes down to you because death is death is
death is never ending. It's going to continue to go
so and we all it's a walk that we will
all take. But uh, I love George went on Cheers though, Bobby,
because I did love Cheers. Percy Alley was She wrote,
(04:00):
I loved Kirsty Alley.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh my god, my got talking about cancer and going
and I actually want to mention my friend Ifi and Nigaz.
I went to her funeral today, forty seven years old,
died of colon cancer. She was fighting it for I
think about seven years. Her family said five, but it
was two years before COVID. And she's got an eleven
year old and a sixteen year old and they were
little when she got it, and she was just trying.
(04:23):
She wanted to get them through high school. That was
her goal. I'm all cried out, so I don't think
I'm going to cry. It was a tough day. But
get your colonoscopes people. I'm still I still have to
get mine, so I want to talk. But to think somebody,
I think she was like forty when she first contracted it.
So you've got to get your your colon oscar base.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
And you see it affects everybody from the rich to
the poor. Because now I belove it. President Biden has
been diagnosed with stage what nine colon cancer?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Oh well, that's what Trump said, and his son said
stage five and the sun was even funnier. He wanted
to know why don't Jill Biden didn't find it like
she was going to have her fingers up for her
husband's ass.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
That's that would be or Diddy, right, Uh no, there
it will be.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
That was You know, she's she's an educational PhD. You
banana head, She's not an m D. And and he
hadn't had ASA since seventy four. A lot of doctors
go that route. Once you hit seventy you're sort of
over the you know, the danger area. So everybody wants
to know how it got so far and why no
(05:36):
one they didn't find it because they don't test for it.
It's like women don't have mammograms after a certain age.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
They say, we definitely want to pray for president by
that's our boy.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
That's our boy. Over here. You say, I got my
como the t shirt Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yep, And I am And I feel really bad for him.
I saw himong the view He's he seemed good, he
was trying to be really cognizant of speaking. But on
the heels of on the same day there's that Tapper
book that came out. I'm so disappointed with him. I'm
a big conspiracy of people hiding his condition. What conspiracy.
We all saw it, sorry, Jake, just like you did.
(06:13):
And if you were reporting on it like you should
have been a year prior, he would have got out
and Kamala either would have had a chance or we
would have had a better candidate in there. So I'm
a little disgusted. I'm boycotting that book.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
And I think he I think he's trying to sell
books too, because and he was the one who would
like were sketchy about President Biden's cognizance when you clearly
you have seen trumpet blining and you won't comment on
that because of your fear. It is it is. He
has everybody so free. Bobby, Oh my god, it's just
(06:46):
it's just sickening, Like, yeah, I don't know why I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I don't know if he's got cameras in people's houses.
I've said to you before, I loved my life out loud,
so you got nothing on me. And if you want
to show my giant, dimple irish ass, good luck to you.
You're not going to get any far, very far. But
Jake Tapper, I'm disappointed. And CNN Hawk in that book
is like girl Scout cookies. I don't know if they
got that magical chair with the little pink umbrella with
(07:13):
the fringe on it, if they sell so many every
single person twice during the show says, wow, Jake Tapper's
coming up with that book. I'm a little at this point,
who cares? How are we moving forward, Jake, that's all
I want to know. Develop a plan, how we're going
to make things better, and let's go from there. Let's
not relive. We all know, we all know what he had.
I don't think he's got dementia. I think he's old.
(07:35):
I think he has good days and bad days. I've
seen right after that, that disastrous debate, he went back
to his team and was trying to make them feel
better as sharp as attack, and it was like the
middle of the night. So I think he could have
done his job. He would have had a tough time,
but I don't think he ever planned on actually doing
the four years. I think he was going to do
(07:55):
a year and then give it to Kamala. But that's
just my two cents.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Your two cents figures was about ten cents. It took
you that long to get all that shit out. Good God.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I think that Joe Biden, even if he did have
it and knew before, I think Joe Biden cares so
much about the American people because he see he was
like an oracle. He saw what was coming down the pike,
and now we're in the damn hold of the pike.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Because he was trying to stop it.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Unfortunately, his own constituents, a Democratic party, did not align
with what he saw that was coming, and that even
Kamala Harris told us what was coming an unhinged power,
unchallenged power, which is why he is firing people left
and right, because he still thinks he's reliving the amprinted days.
But now it's costing the American people. And they passed
(08:42):
this big beautiful bill, this big.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Uical bill is scary, scary, scary, scary, scary, but they
they allowed this to happen to And I'm telling you
who I'm mostly disappointed in is LATINUS for Trump, Blacks
for trun up gage, for your women for Trump, because
especially if you're not part of that one that two percent,
(09:06):
that top two percent, because they say it's two percent.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Now it doesn't say Medicaid black poor, Medicaid white poor,
Medicaid Latino poor. It just says poor, poor poor. So
while you think you was winning because your hate for racism,
racism and his ransom was giving you the authority to
speak and how you wanted to speak, would he take
it from those people?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
He's going to take it from you as well.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You didn't see that, Yeah, No, he's he's having trouble
at the Senate though he's got he's got some resistance
and from the old GOP real conservatives they're like, yeah,
I don't, no, no, because it's not cutting down on
the spending. You know, it's only going to raise it's
getting rid of food stamps and Medicaid, which is it's
(09:54):
a blip in the bucket for you know, the numbers
that we need to see. It's it's putting requirements in.
You have to work eighty hours a month in order
to be able to get them. Some of these people
are too sick to work. They're saying, the able bodied
people with no dependence, that's like less than a percent
or something or two percent of the whole medicaid population.
(10:16):
If you got rid of all of Medicaid, it's not
that much, you know, it's not the numbers we need
to say. So no, they're pushing back. I like it.
Ram Paul's pushing back. They want it. It's going to
raise the debt limit.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
We already lost.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Jesus.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I feel like that.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It was back when I was twenty and my credit
rating went down because I overcharged. Moody's take already dropped
our credit rating. That hasn't happened since twenty eleven.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah, Bobby, and listen, I know what that dropping your
credit is. Like, I've been a plan for a new
house to move because we have to move, and I
keep paying all this money for credit chicks, and I
know it's just doing the points and I'm like, I
have one. Can't we just go with the one? But
they I don't know. It is crazy where we are at.
And I think that Joe Bide really knew because I
(11:01):
don't think that he was psychic that he saw, but
he knew who Trump was. He knew exactly who Trump was,
and he was trying to ring the bell and sound
the alarm to let us know that. Yeah, I might
not be one hundred for y'all right now, but I'm
way better than what is coming. And what is coming
has arrived. And you cannot send this package back right
but y'all could if you wanted to, but you're afraid to.
(11:24):
You're thinking that that bo is so shiny and the
content the wrapping is so pretty, and oh, I want
to just put it in the corner and let it
be delicate. But when that wrap, that that monster comes
out the wrapping. That monster is loose and crazy and
we are in trouble. America is in a grave, grave
deal of trouble.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You a danger girl. We just took up a plane
from Cutter. It actually went through when we accepted HEGSSSPT
accepted the plane. Now I heard some real staunch gops saying, oh, well,
it might work if he then turns it back into Boeing,
(12:04):
like if it's the lease and then they sell it
back to them or give it back to them. That's
not what's happening. He's full intention up until somebody says
no to him of taking it and putting it into
the library. Now we know the libraries take five to
ten years to build, So what happens. You think it's
gonna sit and nobody's going to be driving it for
ten years and at that point he'll be in his nineties. No,
(12:26):
it's it's the it's I can't believe we've done it. No,
people don't take a pot holder, for the love of God,
any other presidents, and this guy takes me.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I am very disappointed in you right now. Why you
just said a statement that I just want to come
through this phone and just strang with you, lady some
something you hope he lived, just he'll be in his nineties.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Girl, don't do that. If you don't have you not
seen the Simpsons, Well.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You know RFA is putting all the process and bad
food so he won't be having as McDonald's every day.
And all of a sudden, everybody he's like, Oh, he's
brilliant Robert Kennedy. And I'm thinking, isn't this what we
saw with Michelle when she had her get Move program
(13:12):
back in Obama's during his tenure. Didn't she tell people
that we wanted to get the processed foods out of
the school, out of the vending machines, and they were
coming for her throat because she shouldn't be telling their
children what to eat. Meanwhile, the child obesity rate is
huge since then. Now we're only bigger and fatter, and
(13:32):
all of a sudden he's going to take processed foods out,
and it's like it's the first time that we're hearing it.
So if I figure, if r FK takes aways McDonald's,
he might be able to last a little while.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
He would have his own McDonald's built on his plane
from Qatar. This is the same president that went after
Hillary Clinton so hard, saying that she was taking money
from Qatar and movie wo from cutter cutter, I keep
saying guitar, that's.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
What I do too.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
But his family, his children are doing multi billion dollar
businesses over there right now. It is and it's but
you know what I respect about Trump's gangster it's right
in their face.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
He ain't doing it behind nobody's back.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
It's right in your face saying I dare you to
say something.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
But meanwhile, he didn't chut the hell up about Hunter
Biden right right, who was a fraction of the money,
and he was very open with it. They didn't hide anything.
They kept going after the after the laptop, and there
was nothing that was super secret like that. They didn't
already know that it happened. But but he's still talking
(14:45):
about that. But yet his kids are over there selling
those mean coins. Oh they had a big steak. Generally,
think you had to spend one point seven million or
something some big event that you bought the coins.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Uh, they've given and now given the public access to
the highest nation in the land, to the White House,
and not to come in as a tourist. If you
pay enough money for this so called dinner, you could
come in and, according to the Sons, actually have a
conversation with the President of the United States about So
that is that is not only a conflict of interest,
(15:19):
because even if you pat people down and screen them
and scan them, which I'm sure they will, people found
the most precarious places to hide things in their cavities.
They could do something detrimental to the president. Why would
you even put him and make him so accessible as
the leader of the free world. It's a money grab.
Everything is a money grab. So when y'all beat up
(15:40):
on Jay Jack are selling books, y'all president sold bibles.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah no, but it is a money grab with him.
But we sort of know that, you know, like that's
he went over to the Middle East to three three
of the strangest countries that he started with, not our allies,
which is weird think he would go. And he didn't
go for diplomacy. He went for deals. So he's right
out there and he's open of it. I mean, he
had two hundred guests at his Virginia golf club over
(16:08):
that the one point seventy nine million and digital devotion
they called it. But he's making I mean he's making
money to handle fist. That's why he doesn't have to
take a salary. He's making more money than he knows
what to do with, or anybody in his family knows
what to do with.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
For the love of God, I mean, how many generations?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I know they say generation of wealth, but they should
be out like generation fifteen man, now right, right.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, I mean you're exactly right. But yeah, I mean
I just can't even did you see that? This is
a little bit off topic, but it was something I
was sort of fascinated about. Did you see that prison
break down in New Orleans? Not the hell were there
ten or eleven guys that got out? It just they
kind of moved, moved some pipes. They threatened the I'm
(16:59):
going to call him because janitor, they said they supposedly
they were going to kill his family. He knows he's
going to jail anyway, but he was very forthcoming. They've
they've found like three different women that helped him. I
know they found another one of the guys and there's
only four out at this point. But I thought, where
the hell were they going? Like, you're out, okay, now,
what is there the car pick you up? You're in
(17:19):
the same quote like what, I don't know how we
haven't found all of them at this point.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Listen, I knew that, you know, it's always going to
be an inside job, and I think that the prison
system is going to have a down that that New
Orleans prison system is going to have a lot to
answer for. We knew somebody assisted them, but did you
see that they wrote over where they get out there
too easy? That is going to a lot of people
will lose their jobs. And not only would it it
(17:46):
cause more strictness for the prisoners, they are going to
be really strict on the new hires and some of
the present employees, because everybody now is going to have
to walk a fine land because eleven people escaped from
prison one time.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
The guard, that's how they said. The guard like, there's
only one guard. He went on a lunch break, and
that's when they went, there's one guy watching this place,
and he went out for his happy meal, and everybody
gets out.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I think those two women that helped them get out,
I wanted to have many of those meals.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Those three women.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Now that's another one that got yep, another one got.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I wanted to how many of those men had played
the radio with them.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
And when I say played the radio and I ain't
talking about amfilm, Oh, two of.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Them are actually very dangerous. They're very violent, and then
the other ones I don't think were violent. I think
it's a jail versus a prison to begin with. And
they're waiting for I don't know their trial, but it's
been years for a couple of them. They were saying,
I was listening to the to the governor speak about it,
(19:01):
and you know it's supposed to ultimately stop with the governor.
He said, well, it does, but this is the sheriff's office.
Somehow that must be different than than what's under him.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
He said.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
But there is gonna be a whole reform over this,
you know, once we find everybody out. But I'm like,
sweet Merry.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yeah, I just, oh, Bobby, let me tell you something.
And I knew some of them were dangerous. Apparently they
couldn't go to their family's houses because I'm sure they
were all being watched and monitor and all of that.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
So they knew better than that, and they taught most
of them.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
But it's gonna be hard for it if they had
not gotten out of New Orleans right now they're gonna
be They're gonna really lock New Orleans down. My issue, Bobby,
is why did it take so long for them to
find out that they were missing?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Because I was in jail. Let's just be honest and
that's all.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
And they have a count, they have a damn count consistently,
like every four or five hours.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
But they were gone.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
From overnight to the early afternoon, how loud and found
out that much time somebody was not doing their jobs.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Bobby, your heads will roll, I.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Bet you well. As I said, they were talking about
the guard that went for lunch, and I'm thinking how
many guards. They probably don't have enough people in there,
you know. That's that's the problem. And what kind of job?
Who wants to be in there?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You know?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
For work that's got to be miserable work having thrown.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
At you all must stop it. You need a job.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
That would be a perfect job for you, a woman
in prison with all those digga lings walking around, you
ain't had no dingling in quite some time.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Oh, you'd be a happy camper.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You be the most bubbly, bobbily Bobby we've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Oh my god. And you don't know where those things
have all been.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I need their medical records.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
That's a beautiful light that you can go there and
take all their medical records.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
You know, did you?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Did you also hear? I thought this was another weird story.
They're getting rid of the penny.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I got plenty over here. Come get them.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You'll have to bring them to one of those little
machines and get rid of them, because yeah, everything's going
to be rounded up to a nickel, so we're going
to pay.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
And I know we're being light right now, but I
really do want to.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Get back to the disrespect and a slap in the
face to our country from It's not what Trump is doing,
it's what they're allowing him to do. That He's put
these and the people that he lined up in positions
of power.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
He's been playing chess the whole time.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Lets you know that if they tell him no or
they don't fall in gallance, he just gets rid of them.
He fires them, or he has somebody fighting them. He
is bringing on only people that are pushing his foolishness,
because a lot of it is foolishes. He should have
never been able to listen. I'm no playing of Clarence
Thomas's but y'all got mad at Clarence Thomas from the
Supreme Court because.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
He took a house and a trip and a golf club.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
And this man has taken a four hundred million dollar
jumbo jets from our enemy or now their ex enemies,
according to him, and they were the leader of their country.
Was Leslie financing her moms?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
He is it? We don't even get me started.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Yeah, we don't want to get sued.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
No, no, And he himself was not was not a
great guy to begin with. I'm sure that there's been
some sort of change or whatever, but he's only going
to make He doesn't look at people like that. It's
only going to make jails. And they kind of bowed
down and they're going to buy a bunch of Boeing.
You know, they committed X amount of dollars to buy
for Boeing and so that's what that's what he went for.
(22:27):
But but we can't even our plane on t our
air Force one.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
You have to ask how much dooc did Trump put
in behind that after they brought into bone, how much
money did he put into that? Stop A and B Bobby,
how can you we accept the plane from them? Because
when you when you apparently we can't trust them. We
don't know what's on that plane. And again, like you
said last week, it will be a lot of innocent
people on that plane that they decide to do something. Left,
(22:54):
you know, it can be one of those planes that
they control it with one of these game controllers, right,
they can make the plane do whatever they want to do.
Because to take miloring technology, it's more than a notion
right now.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's going to take hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
And you're going to pay for it exactly.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
You get to seek and then he's going to walk
away and give it to his library like what Mongery
needs to fly people around.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Which is which is giving it to himself. And guess
what they're going to let him do it unless they
come up with another plane. I see they try to
push you in some articles on impiecement, but I'm like,
y'all did that twice already when he didn't have this
much juice. It's never going to pass now, No.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We would have to wait. It's not even we'd have
to wait until the midterms. And if we can't get
it sorted with the midterms, nothing's going to happen. Don't
impeach unless you know you're going to be able to
push it through. It just it just makes more it's
more fodder for him to talk about. He's a disruptor.
He's known as a disruptor. That's what he wants to
be known as. So he's doing exactly that. He's just
(23:57):
disrupting and until we say no more, that's what's going
to happen. Did you see.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
In the words of the late Johnny Cochrane, don't impeach
unless you can reach.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
So that's exactly. He brings in another foreign president and
tries to embarrass him in front of everybody.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Oh yeah, the president was it the sud and the
black president South Africa.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I don't think Sudia has its own I think he's
of South Africa going on about the Africana's genocide. Do
I think that things are happening to them, Yes, But
as the president said of South Africa, we have a
lot of he said criminality. The white people that are
being killed are less than one percent, so it's not
(24:46):
a genocide. It's unfortunately people are desperate. We don't have
enough ps. You just cut a lot of our aid
off with getting rid of usai D. People are desperate
that's what's happening. But I loved him when he had
the line and you had said it to me, and
I actually saw the clip when he said I wish
I had a plane to offer you. Yeah, I said, well,
(25:08):
you know, at least he's rolling with it. Is that
rama fosa rama? Anyway, he kind of he was trying
to stroke the ego, but it wasn't When he saw
it wasn't going to happen, he kind of rolled with it.
And I said, well, good for you. But I'm like
another confrontation in the Oval office looking like that.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
That we are privy to because everything for him is
a showcase. Everything for him is a stage or TV show,
a reality show.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
I did love the way that the President of South
Africahanda himself and Trump was that he's showing pictures of
the Congo of the women being actually killed, the black
women and being killed over there. This is how out
of touch with reality he is, Bobby, And I'm like,
y'all the people who work around him, his team, y'all see,
(26:00):
y'all let him do the wrong stuff because they again,
they have gotten to a point where it just doesn't
matter about it it don't They don't care as long
as they get what they want the way.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
They want it.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I feel terrible for the Africanas if this is happening. Okay,
I feel badly, but I think we have We have
a lot more people that we could be bringing in
his refugees that are in worse straits, and and you know,
I don't think we needed those the fifty six of them,
they are going through it the right way. They're not
getting anything that they're all they're all having to be vetted.
(26:33):
They're only going to get X amount. They need a plan.
I will say, he's not just saying come on in
and stay forever. You know, they've just gotta they come
in like everybody else does. But I'm like, there are
a lot of people, especially coming over our southern border,
there are in dire straits, and I think fear is fair.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
I bet you all those Africanas coming in and have
the sign of paperwork where they automatically become Republican.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm just saying, yeah, Well.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
A Musk has been going on about how he thinks
he's done. He doesn't think he needs to finance more
more stuff, and he feels like he's he's he said,
I think I I've just about had enough. You know,
didn't say it in a bad way, but he's going
to be stepping aside. I bet it's the personalities. We
gave it three months I think three. We said three
to six months before it imploded, so I think we're
(27:26):
right on schedule.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Oh, he's given me the Titanic. I guess must say.
I'm about to be Miley Brown. I'm getting off this ship.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I speaking of ships, I don't This isn't a ship,
it's a it's a boat. Did you see the Mexican
boat that hit the Brooklyn Bridge? They had to speak
huge high mess. No one thought to to measure their
mast to see that it wasn't going to hit the
lower the lower deck of the bridge.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
That right off And then I'm like, yeah, why you
ought to take a different direction. But they say they
were trying to turn it around back. Yes, the water
was pushing the boat. I don't know, but six people
died from there right.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Too, because they were on the mash. And how the
guys kind of lay on the mast. It's kind of
cool looking, but I just you had to know. And
even these guys, you didn't see it, like you didn't go,
oh my god, it's coming. Let me get down. I
know that seems there's something that seems so off about that,
and it's strange. It looks like it Bailey touched it,
but you know, I mean it had to have some
sort of force to see the damage. Beautiful boat. But
(28:29):
I thought, oh, I don't know what it did to
the Brooklyn Bridge. I mean people traveled to the Brooklyn
Bridge quite a bit, a lot of walkers and bikers
and all that jazz. I don't know what it's done
to that. This thing is strangest stories, the absolute strangest story.
Something that wasn't so strange is do you remember back
when when the candidates were running and canddate Trump said
(28:52):
that he would stop the war in Ukraine and Russia
day one, in fact, maybe even before. So they had
a big powow. I think it was a week ago
and Putin didn't show. So on Monday he President Trump
and President Putin had a phone call, and from what
(29:15):
we're hearing, it didn't. All the news channels are reporting
didn't go so well. Putin just got up and walked off.
And then they've there's been more bombing from both sides
right out directly after. So I don't think he's got
the swags that he's already had or the influence. Now
we're talking about just walking away instead of us supporting
(29:37):
them and putting heavier sanctions on them.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Putin don't care, and Trump said, yeah, don't give a damn.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
He has no fear of Trump, and that is probably
why Trump respects him the way he does. He's tried
to put on the front United front. But I bet
she's a very different conversation one on one. I bet
you it's a very different conversation. You are set the
topic about the Justice Department in is police reform agreements
and halts investigations into major departments. As a black person
(30:08):
in this country, that is so damn scary to me
because I have black children that drive cars, and we
talked about that the police will have carb blanche to.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Be able to do whatever they want to do and
get away with it.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
I've been seeing so many arrests on you know, on
TikTok and on different social media platforms that some of
these kids that they are arresting there at first, they're
very aggressive, the police officer very aggressive with them. They
are mostly black and brown, mostly black, and they are
very young. I'm talking fourteen eleven, fifteen sixteen, and there's
(30:40):
so much anger coming from both sides. But the difference
is the person that's getting arrested does not have the
power that the person with the badge and the gun
has to. And it is very scary for me, Bobby,
I just have to say that, as a black person
in this country, that is very scary to me.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
It is scary. You know why he did it because
this was Biden's picks. You know, Biden wanted police reform,
he wanted education, he wanted social workers and police departments,
he wanted he wanted real reform. How can we improve?
And these were all everything that he was assigning, and
he's just stripping it away, you know, little by little,
just like he did with Obama stuff. So it's unfortunate,
(31:20):
you know. And on the other hand, I see something
happening and someone blaming Trump and then he'll go the
other way. Oh, you know, he's not going to take
responsibility for it. You know, of course we should have
reform or whatnot. Yeah, I was very disappointed. It goes
right along with the DEI and all the things that
(31:42):
he's trying and protections for everybody that he's.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
There is no comparison for me for this because this
one will in their lives. The I made in their livelihood,
but the police haven't carved blocks they were in their lives,
So there is no comparison for me.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
For me, and I'm not not you nobody.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
We we don't always agree with everything, but yeah, that
to me as a black person, that is very, very
scary to me because.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
That could end our lives. Bobby, you know what I
didn't understand was.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
That what was that? What was we just talking about
that pol police reform? It is they have to fix that.
I really wish And we talked about this before on
this podcast before when I said that sometimes you guys
have kids, and when I say you guys, I'm talking
about uh, white or Caucasian, white, Caucasian or either like
(32:38):
an Irish police cause that's really big with police in
those your nationalities. And they have a wayward nephew or
wayward son and nobody can do anything with them. And
then because you have a little pool, you put your
you get your kid in a job on the police force,
but they don't have the proper training, so they use
all that crazy anger and aggression that you know that
(33:00):
they have, that they are not in loot for this
position for and you will release them onto the world
in a neighborhood with somebody like me who you've never encountered,
who you may never encounter in your daily life. So
you don't understand me. You don't even understand when I'm
talking to you in my hands. You think I'm being
aggressive at you, and I lose my life. That is
what is scary for me, Bobby, because there's so many untrained,
(33:22):
not ready to be a police officer, don't know how
to de escalate the situation with their tone, their temperament,
and their language. They just know how to go straight
to violence. And they don't shoot to hurt black people
and brown people. They shoot to kill black and brown.
That is what is scary for me.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Well, they're supposed to shoot to kill everybody. They're never
supposed to take their weapon out lists there. That's the
plan that was part of the police reform. That's what
Biden was talking about having the social workers in teaching
them this is the way you do it. I kind
of imagine like if I have I mean just being
a mom, if I ever thought my son was a
little off. My son wouldn't be I'll be quite honest,
(34:00):
would not be suited to be a police officer. It's
just not who he is. I would never push or
want him to do it. I'd want him to do
something else where he's safe, other people are safe. You know,
he's not going to wind up behind bars himself because
he would have done something. My son is impulsive, like
he gets upset quickly, but he de escalates really quickly
(34:22):
as well. But in the snap of a second, you
can do something that's absolutely wrong. I wouldn't want that
for him. So this is one Irish mom that would
never do that. But it's good, honest work, you know,
this respect that goes with it. It's a decent wage,
although these guys usually have to do a lot of
overtime or whatnot. But it's a special person. We should
(34:44):
pay a little bit more. We should vet them better
and put people who are suited for the position. And
how about this, I wouldn't want to be a police officer.
Look at all? This could I run down? We should
also be making them be physically fit, not sitting it
dounk con donuts sitting outside, Not that they all do,
but you got you got to keep a You got
to keep a certain figure if you're supposed to be
(35:05):
chasing somebody down. Because I think my point of saying
that is is that I think you rely on your
weapon or your taser or whatever when you physically can't
keep up with somebody yourself, you have to go to
something else.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
So I think that, And let me just say that
those donuts donut comments from Bobby Clifford are those of
that personal perspective of their young mans.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
I enjoyed my donuts.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
I like seeing fat police eating fat doughnuts because I
know they can't run at all.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
You gotta run, exactly, but I want inviting them to
run and help me, like they'll use their other tools
in their in their tool chest instead of relying on themselves,
which is what you should be able to do. I
love seeing some of the younger cops as they drive down.
I passed the high school and once in a while
you'll see a cop whether he's getting on shift or
off shift, and he'll be shooting the ball with the
(35:55):
kids and stuff. But it's good for him too, because
he's keeping in shape and the key's getting to know
the kids and the kids are getting to know and
to trust him. I miss We used to have an
Officer Duffy. I missed the Officer Duffies of the world
who that we really could trust. You know, if he
was going to come, he was going to be fair
and if you screwed up, he was going to be
fair with you, but you were going to get your
punishment as well. And I missed them.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Yeah. We we're living in a different, very different time. Yeah,
and we cannot go.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
We cannot close out the show without at least not
paying attention to the Diddy case. Now we're going to
come back to the Diddy case because I want to
say something about this big, beautiful bill I say today
that they're not only cutting off Medicare, but they're stopping
a hormone therapy for all ages of people who of
different genders. They're going to shopt all kind of hormone replacement.
(36:42):
And I don't want to say I told you so,
but I was really trying to one of the communities.
They're doing too much pushing. What's going to scare those people?
They flipped it, weaponized it, used it against us, and
this is going to be very sad. I never agree
with hormones for people under eighteen, possibly even nineteen, but
now that's up, and then for everybody that is going
to be really, really scary, boy, because if you can't
(37:04):
afford it, you know a lot of people are not
working a lot of it, and some of these hormones
and stuff can be quite pricey. I wish that things
were different, but they are not. Now to the P
Diddy situation, y'all keep asking flames, you gotta comment. I
don't want to see the trial. I want to see
the tapes.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
I thought you won't even understand them. Where is he
putting them?
Speaker 4 (37:28):
I want to see the tapes. I want to see
who's blooming who? That's what I want to see.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
That's hysterical.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
And I think that all the distractions from this P.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Diddy trial, especially to black folks, they are passing bills
and creating laws and moving things around. Y'all really need
to pay attention. And Bobby says this every week the
primaries are coming. Get us a candidate, Now, get us
somebody that we're going to dissect before they dissect, because
that's what we do.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
We're going to pick them apart for long before the
Republicans do.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
I love that Hakim Jeffries stood up on how floor
the other day and said that I don't work for you, sir,
I work for the American people. If more of these
politicians remember that, we might not be where we are
right now.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
We might be in a better place, with a better
temperament in this country. M amen, are you.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
A great But they're they're coming, They're coming. So we
got to get out there, and we have to We
have to somehow figure out a way to motivate the
ninety million that stayed home, which is why, which is
why Trump got in. We've got to get them out.
We're going to get them out.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Trump is going to motivate them to come to the
post because he's going to strip everything that he can
from him. He's going and if he can take them
voting rights, he gonna damn show try to do that too.
But he's going to motivate the hell out of them.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Well, if you have a baby in that big beautiful
bill he's got, people who have babies will get a
thousand dollars that they'll put into a fund and you
can watch it grow through their lifetime and they'll get
it on retirement. That's that's in the idea. I'm like
a thousand dogs. I guess he'll probably get fifty thousand
(39:04):
in the end towards retirement.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
But girl, now with him in office, he's gonna cancel
the program after he built up two enough money he
wanted to take it.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I'd rather than get free free breakfast, take that thousand
dollars in and give them their snap give them their
their food stamps for the people need it.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Oh, Bobby, please let me say this before we get
off the gum. I just wanted to acknowledge that we
just celebrated Malcolm XUS his birthday. Malcolm X was such
a powerful speaker. He died before the same year I
was born. Before I was born. He died in February.
What year was that, I can't remember, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Don't say way before, way before we were born.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
He was my babysitter, and he when I listened to him,
I know he was.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
He didn't promote violence, but he wasn't afraid. He's still
for what he believed in.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
He stood on his integrity once he found who he was,
and his joy and his passion.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
And his uh.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
He was just such a powerful person and to listen
to the words that he said, Dan, and to watch
that we are possibly reliving a bunch of that right now.
Bobby is heartbreaking, and I know he's like all the
work that he put in, it looked like it's just
going away in vain because we don't take and I
say we, I am talking about black folks. We just don't
take us serious enough. We have allowed things to become
(40:23):
more important, things of importance that should be important, and
I think it allowed the other side or other sides
to see that well while they over there acting the food,
we're gonna do this over here. I wish that we
could all get on the court with Malcolm X happy
blady but happy heavenly birthday and Martin Luther King, just
to get back to basics, because Bobby, I don't know
where the hell we had it.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
What you said earlier America, you and danger girl.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
It is so we have to dust off and get
our asses up to the polls.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
That's a lot of ass to get to a pole, Bobby,
But I don't want to see you on those strip
of pole.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I'll get a sling.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
Listen, thank you, Listen before we leave it. We want

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yes, that's absolutely wonderful. And we lost Jerry Conley. He
was a Virginia Democrat. He had a sophag jail cancer.
He made the announcement in November, I think, and said
that he wouldn't run another term. But I don't think
they were expecting him to go to go as as
quickly as that which is well.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Rest in peace to both of those men.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Uh shout out to both the families from us. Our
heart goes down to you because death is death is
death is never ending. It's going to continue to go
so and we all it's a walk that we will
all take. But uh, I love George went on Cheers though, Bobby,
because I did love Cheers. Percy Alley was She wrote,
(04:00):
I loved Kirsty Alley.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh my god, my got talking about cancer and going
and I actually want to mention my friend Ifi and Nigaz.
I went to her funeral today, forty seven years old,
died of colon cancer. She was fighting it for I
think about seven years. Her family said five, but it
was two years before COVID. And she's got an eleven
year old and a sixteen year old and they were
little when she got it, and she was just trying.
(04:23):
She wanted to get them through high school. That was
her goal. I'm all cried out, so I don't think
I'm going to cry. It was a tough day. But
get your colonoscopes people. I'm still I still have to
get mine, so I want to talk. But to think somebody,
I think she was like forty when she first contracted it.
So you've got to get your your colon oscar base.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
And you see it affects everybody from the rich to
the poor. Because now I belove it. President Biden has
been diagnosed with stage what nine colon cancer?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Oh well, that's what Trump said, and his son said
stage five and the sun was even funnier. He wanted
to know why don't Jill Biden didn't find it like
she was going to have her fingers up for her
husband's ass.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
That's that would be or Diddy, right, Uh no, there
it will be.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
That was You know, she's she's an educational PhD. You
banana head, She's not an m D. And and he
hadn't had ASA since seventy four. A lot of doctors
go that route. Once you hit seventy you're sort of
over the you know, the danger area. So everybody wants
to know how it got so far and why no
(05:36):
one they didn't find it because they don't test for it.
It's like women don't have mammograms after a certain age.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
They say, we definitely want to pray for president by
that's our boy.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
That's our boy. Over here. You say, I got my
como the t shirt Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yep, And I am And I feel really bad for him.
I saw himong the view He's he seemed good, he
was trying to be really cognizant of speaking. But on
the heels of on the same day there's that Tapper
book that came out. I'm so disappointed with him. I'm
a big conspiracy of people hiding his condition. What conspiracy.
We all saw it, sorry, Jake, just like you did.
(06:13):
And if you were reporting on it like you should
have been a year prior, he would have got out
and Kamala either would have had a chance or we
would have had a better candidate in there. So I'm
a little disgusted. I'm boycotting that book.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
And I think he I think he's trying to sell
books too, because and he was the one who would
like were sketchy about President Biden's cognizance when you clearly
you have seen trumpet blining and you won't comment on
that because of your fear. It is it is. He
has everybody so free. Bobby, Oh my god, it's just
(06:46):
it's just sickening, Like, yeah, I don't know why I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I don't know if he's got cameras in people's houses.
I've said to you before, I loved my life out loud,
so you got nothing on me. And if you want
to show my giant, dimple irish ass, good luck to you.
You're not going to get any far, very far. But
Jake Tapper, I'm disappointed. And CNN Hawk in that book
is like girl Scout cookies. I don't know if they
got that magical chair with the little pink umbrella with
(07:13):
the fringe on it, if they sell so many every
single person twice during the show says, wow, Jake Tapper's
coming up with that book. I'm a little at this point,
who cares? How are we moving forward, Jake, that's all
I want to know. Develop a plan, how we're going
to make things better, and let's go from there. Let's
not relive. We all know, we all know what he had.
I don't think he's got dementia. I think he's old.
(07:35):
I think he has good days and bad days. I've
seen right after that, that disastrous debate, he went back
to his team and was trying to make them feel
better as sharp as attack, and it was like the
middle of the night. So I think he could have
done his job. He would have had a tough time,
but I don't think he ever planned on actually doing
the four years. I think he was going to do
(07:55):
a year and then give it to Kamala. But that's
just my two cents.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Your two cents figures was about ten cents. It took
you that long to get all that shit out. Good God.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I think that Joe Biden, even if he did have
it and knew before, I think Joe Biden cares so
much about the American people because he see he was
like an oracle. He saw what was coming down the pike,
and now we're in the damn hold of the pike.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Because he was trying to stop it.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Unfortunately, his own constituents, a Democratic party, did not align
with what he saw that was coming, and that even
Kamala Harris told us what was coming an unhinged power,
unchallenged power, which is why he is firing people left
and right, because he still thinks he's reliving the amprinted days.
But now it's costing the American people. And they passed
(08:42):
this big beautiful bill, this big.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Uical bill is scary, scary, scary, scary, scary, but they
they allowed this to happen to And I'm telling you
who I'm mostly disappointed in is LATINUS for Trump, Blacks
for trun up gage, for your women for Trump, because
especially if you're not part of that one that two percent,
(09:06):
that top two percent, because they say it's two percent.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Now it doesn't say Medicaid black poor, Medicaid white poor,
Medicaid Latino poor. It just says poor, poor poor. So
while you think you was winning because your hate for racism,
racism and his ransom was giving you the authority to
speak and how you wanted to speak, would he take
it from those people?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
He's going to take it from you as well.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You didn't see that, Yeah, No, he's he's having trouble
at the Senate though he's got he's got some resistance
and from the old GOP real conservatives they're like, yeah,
I don't, no, no, because it's not cutting down on
the spending. You know, it's only going to raise it's
getting rid of food stamps and Medicaid, which is it's
(09:54):
a blip in the bucket for you know, the numbers
that we need to see. It's it's putting requirements in.
You have to work eighty hours a month in order
to be able to get them. Some of these people
are too sick to work. They're saying, the able bodied
people with no dependence, that's like less than a percent
or something or two percent of the whole medicaid population.
(10:16):
If you got rid of all of Medicaid, it's not
that much, you know, it's not the numbers we need
to say. So no, they're pushing back. I like it.
Ram Paul's pushing back. They want it. It's going to
raise the debt limit.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
We already lost.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Jesus.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I feel like that.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It was back when I was twenty and my credit
rating went down because I overcharged. Moody's take already dropped
our credit rating. That hasn't happened since twenty eleven.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah, Bobby, and listen, I know what that dropping your
credit is. Like, I've been a plan for a new
house to move because we have to move, and I
keep paying all this money for credit chicks, and I
know it's just doing the points and I'm like, I
have one. Can't we just go with the one? But
they I don't know. It is crazy where we are at.
And I think that Joe Bide really knew because I
(11:01):
don't think that he was psychic that he saw, but
he knew who Trump was. He knew exactly who Trump was,
and he was trying to ring the bell and sound
the alarm to let us know that. Yeah, I might
not be one hundred for y'all right now, but I'm
way better than what is coming. And what is coming
has arrived. And you cannot send this package back right
but y'all could if you wanted to, but you're afraid to.
(11:24):
You're thinking that that bo is so shiny and the
content the wrapping is so pretty, and oh, I want
to just put it in the corner and let it
be delicate. But when that wrap, that that monster comes
out the wrapping. That monster is loose and crazy and
we are in trouble. America is in a grave, grave
deal of trouble.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You a danger girl. We just took up a plane
from Cutter. It actually went through when we accepted HEGSSSPT
accepted the plane. Now I heard some real staunch gops saying, oh, well,
it might work if he then turns it back into Boeing,
(12:04):
like if it's the lease and then they sell it
back to them or give it back to them. That's
not what's happening. He's full intention up until somebody says
no to him of taking it and putting it into
the library. Now we know the libraries take five to
ten years to build, So what happens. You think it's
gonna sit and nobody's going to be driving it for
ten years and at that point he'll be in his nineties. No,
(12:26):
it's it's the it's I can't believe we've done it. No,
people don't take a pot holder, for the love of God,
any other presidents, and this guy takes me.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I am very disappointed in you right now. Why you
just said a statement that I just want to come
through this phone and just strang with you, lady some
something you hope he lived, just he'll be in his nineties.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Girl, don't do that. If you don't have you not
seen the Simpsons, Well.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You know RFA is putting all the process and bad
food so he won't be having as McDonald's every day.
And all of a sudden, everybody he's like, Oh, he's
brilliant Robert Kennedy. And I'm thinking, isn't this what we
saw with Michelle when she had her get Move program
(13:12):
back in Obama's during his tenure. Didn't she tell people
that we wanted to get the processed foods out of
the school, out of the vending machines, and they were
coming for her throat because she shouldn't be telling their
children what to eat. Meanwhile, the child obesity rate is
huge since then. Now we're only bigger and fatter, and
(13:32):
all of a sudden he's going to take processed foods out,
and it's like it's the first time that we're hearing it.
So if I figure, if r FK takes aways McDonald's,
he might be able to last a little while.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
He would have his own McDonald's built on his plane
from Qatar. This is the same president that went after
Hillary Clinton so hard, saying that she was taking money
from Qatar and movie wo from cutter cutter, I keep
saying guitar, that's.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
What I do too.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
But his family, his children are doing multi billion dollar
businesses over there right now. It is and it's but
you know what I respect about Trump's gangster it's right
in their face.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
He ain't doing it behind nobody's back.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
It's right in your face saying I dare you to
say something.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
But meanwhile, he didn't chut the hell up about Hunter
Biden right right, who was a fraction of the money,
and he was very open with it. They didn't hide anything.
They kept going after the after the laptop, and there
was nothing that was super secret like that. They didn't
already know that it happened. But but he's still talking
(14:45):
about that. But yet his kids are over there selling
those mean coins. Oh they had a big steak. Generally,
think you had to spend one point seven million or
something some big event that you bought the coins.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Uh, they've given and now given the public access to
the highest nation in the land, to the White House,
and not to come in as a tourist. If you
pay enough money for this so called dinner, you could
come in and, according to the Sons, actually have a
conversation with the President of the United States about So
that is that is not only a conflict of interest,
(15:19):
because even if you pat people down and screen them
and scan them, which I'm sure they will, people found
the most precarious places to hide things in their cavities.
They could do something detrimental to the president. Why would
you even put him and make him so accessible as
the leader of the free world. It's a money grab.
Everything is a money grab. So when y'all beat up
(15:40):
on Jay Jack are selling books, y'all president sold bibles.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah no, but it is a money grab with him.
But we sort of know that, you know, like that's
he went over to the Middle East to three three
of the strangest countries that he started with, not our allies,
which is weird think he would go. And he didn't
go for diplomacy. He went for deals. So he's right
out there and he's open of it. I mean, he
had two hundred guests at his Virginia golf club over
(16:08):
that the one point seventy nine million and digital devotion
they called it. But he's making I mean he's making
money to handle fist. That's why he doesn't have to
take a salary. He's making more money than he knows
what to do with, or anybody in his family knows
what to do with.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
For the love of God, I mean, how many generations?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I know they say generation of wealth, but they should
be out like generation fifteen man, now right, right.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, I mean you're exactly right. But yeah, I mean
I just can't even did you see that? This is
a little bit off topic, but it was something I
was sort of fascinated about. Did you see that prison
break down in New Orleans? Not the hell were there
ten or eleven guys that got out? It just they
kind of moved, moved some pipes. They threatened the I'm
(16:59):
going to call him because janitor, they said they supposedly
they were going to kill his family. He knows he's
going to jail anyway, but he was very forthcoming. They've
they've found like three different women that helped him. I
know they found another one of the guys and there's
only four out at this point. But I thought, where
the hell were they going? Like, you're out, okay, now,
what is there the car pick you up? You're in
(17:19):
the same quote like what, I don't know how we
haven't found all of them at this point.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Listen, I knew that, you know, it's always going to
be an inside job, and I think that the prison
system is going to have a down that that New
Orleans prison system is going to have a lot to
answer for. We knew somebody assisted them, but did you
see that they wrote over where they get out there
too easy? That is going to a lot of people
will lose their jobs. And not only would it it
(17:46):
cause more strictness for the prisoners, they are going to
be really strict on the new hires and some of
the present employees, because everybody now is going to have
to walk a fine land because eleven people escaped from
prison one time.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
The guard, that's how they said. The guard like, there's
only one guard. He went on a lunch break, and
that's when they went, there's one guy watching this place,
and he went out for his happy meal, and everybody
gets out.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I think those two women that helped them get out,
I wanted to have many of those meals.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Those three women.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Now that's another one that got yep, another one got.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I wanted to how many of those men had played
the radio with them.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
And when I say played the radio and I ain't
talking about amfilm, Oh, two of.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Them are actually very dangerous. They're very violent, and then
the other ones I don't think were violent. I think
it's a jail versus a prison to begin with. And
they're waiting for I don't know their trial, but it's
been years for a couple of them. They were saying,
I was listening to the to the governor speak about it,
(19:01):
and you know it's supposed to ultimately stop with the governor.
He said, well, it does, but this is the sheriff's office.
Somehow that must be different than than what's under him.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
He said.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
But there is gonna be a whole reform over this,
you know, once we find everybody out. But I'm like,
sweet Merry.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yeah, I just, oh, Bobby, let me tell you something.
And I knew some of them were dangerous. Apparently they
couldn't go to their family's houses because I'm sure they
were all being watched and monitor and all of that.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
So they knew better than that, and they taught most
of them.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
But it's gonna be hard for it if they had
not gotten out of New Orleans right now they're gonna
be They're gonna really lock New Orleans down. My issue, Bobby,
is why did it take so long for them to
find out that they were missing?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Because I was in jail. Let's just be honest and
that's all.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
And they have a count, they have a damn count consistently,
like every four or five hours.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
But they were gone.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
From overnight to the early afternoon, how loud and found
out that much time somebody was not doing their jobs.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Bobby, your heads will roll, I.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Bet you well. As I said, they were talking about
the guard that went for lunch, and I'm thinking how
many guards. They probably don't have enough people in there,
you know. That's that's the problem. And what kind of job?
Who wants to be in there?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You know?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
For work that's got to be miserable work having thrown.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
At you all must stop it. You need a job.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
That would be a perfect job for you, a woman
in prison with all those digga lings walking around, you
ain't had no dingling in quite some time.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Oh, you'd be a happy camper.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You be the most bubbly, bobbily Bobby we've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Oh my god. And you don't know where those things
have all been.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I need their medical records.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
That's a beautiful light that you can go there and
take all their medical records.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
You know, did you?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Did you also hear? I thought this was another weird story.
They're getting rid of the penny.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I got plenty over here. Come get them.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You'll have to bring them to one of those little
machines and get rid of them, because yeah, everything's going
to be rounded up to a nickel, so we're going
to pay.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
And I know we're being light right now, but I
really do want to.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Get back to the disrespect and a slap in the
face to our country from It's not what Trump is doing,
it's what they're allowing him to do. That He's put
these and the people that he lined up in positions
of power.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
He's been playing chess the whole time.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Lets you know that if they tell him no or
they don't fall in gallance, he just gets rid of them.
He fires them, or he has somebody fighting them. He
is bringing on only people that are pushing his foolishness,
because a lot of it is foolishes. He should have
never been able to listen. I'm no playing of Clarence
Thomas's but y'all got mad at Clarence Thomas from the
Supreme Court because.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
He took a house and a trip and a golf club.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
And this man has taken a four hundred million dollar
jumbo jets from our enemy or now their ex enemies,
according to him, and they were the leader of their country.
Was Leslie financing her moms?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
He is it? We don't even get me started.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Yeah, we don't want to get sued.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
No, no, And he himself was not was not a
great guy to begin with. I'm sure that there's been
some sort of change or whatever, but he's only going
to make He doesn't look at people like that. It's
only going to make jails. And they kind of bowed
down and they're going to buy a bunch of Boeing.
You know, they committed X amount of dollars to buy
for Boeing and so that's what that's what he went for.
(22:27):
But but we can't even our plane on t our
air Force one.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
You have to ask how much dooc did Trump put
in behind that after they brought into bone, how much
money did he put into that? Stop A and B Bobby,
how can you we accept the plane from them? Because
when you when you apparently we can't trust them. We
don't know what's on that plane. And again, like you
said last week, it will be a lot of innocent
people on that plane that they decide to do something. Left,
(22:54):
you know, it can be one of those planes that
they control it with one of these game controllers, right,
they can make the plane do whatever they want to do.
Because to take miloring technology, it's more than a notion
right now.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's going to take hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
And you're going to pay for it exactly.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
You get to seek and then he's going to walk
away and give it to his library like what Mongery
needs to fly people around.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Which is which is giving it to himself. And guess
what they're going to let him do it unless they
come up with another plane. I see they try to
push you in some articles on impiecement, but I'm like,
y'all did that twice already when he didn't have this
much juice. It's never going to pass now, No.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We would have to wait. It's not even we'd have
to wait until the midterms. And if we can't get
it sorted with the midterms, nothing's going to happen. Don't
impeach unless you know you're going to be able to
push it through. It just it just makes more it's
more fodder for him to talk about. He's a disruptor.
He's known as a disruptor. That's what he wants to
be known as. So he's doing exactly that. He's just
(23:57):
disrupting and until we say no more, that's what's going
to happen. Did you see.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
In the words of the late Johnny Cochrane, don't impeach
unless you can reach.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
So that's exactly. He brings in another foreign president and
tries to embarrass him in front of everybody.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Oh yeah, the president was it the sud and the
black president South Africa.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I don't think Sudia has its own I think he's
of South Africa going on about the Africana's genocide. Do
I think that things are happening to them, Yes, But
as the president said of South Africa, we have a
lot of he said criminality. The white people that are
being killed are less than one percent, so it's not
(24:46):
a genocide. It's unfortunately people are desperate. We don't have
enough ps. You just cut a lot of our aid
off with getting rid of usai D. People are desperate
that's what's happening. But I loved him when he had
the line and you had said it to me, and
I actually saw the clip when he said I wish
I had a plane to offer you. Yeah, I said, well,
(25:08):
you know, at least he's rolling with it. Is that
rama fosa rama? Anyway, he kind of he was trying
to stroke the ego, but it wasn't When he saw
it wasn't going to happen, he kind of rolled with it.
And I said, well, good for you. But I'm like
another confrontation in the Oval office looking like that.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
That we are privy to because everything for him is
a showcase. Everything for him is a stage or TV show,
a reality show.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
I did love the way that the President of South
Africahanda himself and Trump was that he's showing pictures of
the Congo of the women being actually killed, the black
women and being killed over there. This is how out
of touch with reality he is, Bobby, And I'm like,
y'all the people who work around him, his team, y'all see,
(26:00):
y'all let him do the wrong stuff because they again,
they have gotten to a point where it just doesn't
matter about it it don't They don't care as long
as they get what they want the way.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
They want it.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I feel terrible for the Africanas if this is happening. Okay,
I feel badly, but I think we have We have
a lot more people that we could be bringing in
his refugees that are in worse straits, and and you know,
I don't think we needed those the fifty six of them,
they are going through it the right way. They're not
getting anything that they're all they're all having to be vetted.
(26:33):
They're only going to get X amount. They need a plan.
I will say, he's not just saying come on in
and stay forever. You know, they've just gotta they come
in like everybody else does. But I'm like, there are
a lot of people, especially coming over our southern border,
there are in dire straits, and I think fear is fair.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
I bet you all those Africanas coming in and have
the sign of paperwork where they automatically become Republican.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm just saying, yeah, Well.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
A Musk has been going on about how he thinks
he's done. He doesn't think he needs to finance more
more stuff, and he feels like he's he's he said,
I think I I've just about had enough. You know,
didn't say it in a bad way, but he's going
to be stepping aside. I bet it's the personalities. We
gave it three months I think three. We said three
to six months before it imploded, so I think we're
(27:26):
right on schedule.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Oh, he's given me the Titanic. I guess must say.
I'm about to be Miley Brown. I'm getting off this ship.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I speaking of ships, I don't This isn't a ship,
it's a it's a boat. Did you see the Mexican
boat that hit the Brooklyn Bridge? They had to speak
huge high mess. No one thought to to measure their
mast to see that it wasn't going to hit the
lower the lower deck of the bridge.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
That right off And then I'm like, yeah, why you
ought to take a different direction. But they say they
were trying to turn it around back. Yes, the water
was pushing the boat. I don't know, but six people
died from there right.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Too, because they were on the mash. And how the
guys kind of lay on the mast. It's kind of
cool looking, but I just you had to know. And
even these guys, you didn't see it, like you didn't go,
oh my god, it's coming. Let me get down. I
know that seems there's something that seems so off about that,
and it's strange. It looks like it Bailey touched it,
but you know, I mean it had to have some
sort of force to see the damage. Beautiful boat. But
(28:29):
I thought, oh, I don't know what it did to
the Brooklyn Bridge. I mean people traveled to the Brooklyn
Bridge quite a bit, a lot of walkers and bikers
and all that jazz. I don't know what it's done
to that. This thing is strangest stories, the absolute strangest story.
Something that wasn't so strange is do you remember back
when when the candidates were running and canddate Trump said
(28:52):
that he would stop the war in Ukraine and Russia
day one, in fact, maybe even before. So they had
a big powow. I think it was a week ago
and Putin didn't show. So on Monday he President Trump
and President Putin had a phone call, and from what
(29:15):
we're hearing, it didn't. All the news channels are reporting
didn't go so well. Putin just got up and walked off.
And then they've there's been more bombing from both sides
right out directly after. So I don't think he's got
the swags that he's already had or the influence. Now
we're talking about just walking away instead of us supporting
(29:37):
them and putting heavier sanctions on them.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Putin don't care, and Trump said, yeah, don't give a damn.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
He has no fear of Trump, and that is probably
why Trump respects him the way he does. He's tried
to put on the front United front. But I bet
she's a very different conversation one on one. I bet
you it's a very different conversation. You are set the
topic about the Justice Department in is police reform agreements
and halts investigations into major departments. As a black person
(30:08):
in this country, that is so damn scary to me
because I have black children that drive cars, and we
talked about that the police will have carb blanche to.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Be able to do whatever they want to do and
get away with it.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
I've been seeing so many arrests on you know, on
TikTok and on different social media platforms that some of
these kids that they are arresting there at first, they're
very aggressive, the police officer very aggressive with them. They
are mostly black and brown, mostly black, and they are
very young. I'm talking fourteen eleven, fifteen sixteen, and there's
(30:40):
so much anger coming from both sides. But the difference
is the person that's getting arrested does not have the
power that the person with the badge and the gun
has to. And it is very scary for me, Bobby,
I just have to say that, as a black person
in this country, that is very scary to me.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
It is scary. You know why he did it because
this was Biden's picks. You know, Biden wanted police reform,
he wanted education, he wanted social workers and police departments,
he wanted he wanted real reform. How can we improve?
And these were all everything that he was assigning, and
he's just stripping it away, you know, little by little,
just like he did with Obama stuff. So it's unfortunate,
(31:20):
you know. And on the other hand, I see something
happening and someone blaming Trump and then he'll go the
other way. Oh, you know, he's not going to take
responsibility for it. You know, of course we should have
reform or whatnot. Yeah, I was very disappointed. It goes
right along with the DEI and all the things that
(31:42):
he's trying and protections for everybody that he's.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
There is no comparison for me for this because this
one will in their lives. The I made in their livelihood,
but the police haven't carved blocks they were in their lives,
So there is no comparison for me.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
For me, and I'm not not you nobody.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
We we don't always agree with everything, but yeah, that
to me as a black person, that is very, very
scary to me because.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
That could end our lives. Bobby, you know what I
didn't understand was.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
That what was that? What was we just talking about
that pol police reform? It is they have to fix that.
I really wish And we talked about this before on
this podcast before when I said that sometimes you guys
have kids, and when I say you guys, I'm talking
about uh, white or Caucasian, white, Caucasian or either like
(32:38):
an Irish police cause that's really big with police in
those your nationalities. And they have a wayward nephew or
wayward son and nobody can do anything with them. And
then because you have a little pool, you put your
you get your kid in a job on the police force,
but they don't have the proper training, so they use
all that crazy anger and aggression that you know that
(33:00):
they have, that they are not in loot for this
position for and you will release them onto the world
in a neighborhood with somebody like me who you've never encountered,
who you may never encounter in your daily life. So
you don't understand me. You don't even understand when I'm
talking to you in my hands. You think I'm being
aggressive at you, and I lose my life. That is
what is scary for me, Bobby, because there's so many untrained,
(33:22):
not ready to be a police officer, don't know how
to de escalate the situation with their tone, their temperament,
and their language. They just know how to go straight
to violence. And they don't shoot to hurt black people
and brown people. They shoot to kill black and brown.
That is what is scary for me.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Well, they're supposed to shoot to kill everybody. They're never
supposed to take their weapon out lists there. That's the
plan that was part of the police reform. That's what
Biden was talking about having the social workers in teaching
them this is the way you do it. I kind
of imagine like if I have I mean just being
a mom, if I ever thought my son was a
little off. My son wouldn't be I'll be quite honest,
(34:00):
would not be suited to be a police officer. It's
just not who he is. I would never push or
want him to do it. I'd want him to do
something else where he's safe, other people are safe. You know,
he's not going to wind up behind bars himself because
he would have done something. My son is impulsive, like
he gets upset quickly, but he de escalates really quickly
(34:22):
as well. But in the snap of a second, you
can do something that's absolutely wrong. I wouldn't want that
for him. So this is one Irish mom that would
never do that. But it's good, honest work, you know,
this respect that goes with it. It's a decent wage,
although these guys usually have to do a lot of
overtime or whatnot. But it's a special person. We should
(34:44):
pay a little bit more. We should vet them better
and put people who are suited for the position. And
how about this, I wouldn't want to be a police officer.
Look at all? This could I run down? We should
also be making them be physically fit, not sitting it
dounk con donuts sitting outside, Not that they all do,
but you got you got to keep a You got
to keep a certain figure if you're supposed to be
(35:05):
chasing somebody down. Because I think my point of saying
that is is that I think you rely on your
weapon or your taser or whatever when you physically can't
keep up with somebody yourself, you have to go to
something else.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
So I think that, And let me just say that
those donuts donut comments from Bobby Clifford are those of
that personal perspective of their young mans.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
I enjoyed my donuts.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
I like seeing fat police eating fat doughnuts because I
know they can't run at all.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
You gotta run, exactly, but I want inviting them to
run and help me, like they'll use their other tools
in their in their tool chest instead of relying on themselves,
which is what you should be able to do. I
love seeing some of the younger cops as they drive down.
I passed the high school and once in a while
you'll see a cop whether he's getting on shift or
off shift, and he'll be shooting the ball with the
(35:55):
kids and stuff. But it's good for him too, because
he's keeping in shape and the key's getting to know
the kids and the kids are getting to know and
to trust him. I miss We used to have an
Officer Duffy. I missed the Officer Duffies of the world
who that we really could trust. You know, if he
was going to come, he was going to be fair
and if you screwed up, he was going to be
fair with you, but you were going to get your
punishment as well. And I missed them.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Yeah. We we're living in a different, very different time. Yeah,
and we cannot go.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
We cannot close out the show without at least not
paying attention to the Diddy case. Now we're going to
come back to the Diddy case because I want to
say something about this big, beautiful bill I say today
that they're not only cutting off Medicare, but they're stopping
a hormone therapy for all ages of people who of
different genders. They're going to shopt all kind of hormone replacement.
(36:42):
And I don't want to say I told you so,
but I was really trying to one of the communities.
They're doing too much pushing. What's going to scare those people?
They flipped it, weaponized it, used it against us, and
this is going to be very sad. I never agree
with hormones for people under eighteen, possibly even nineteen, but
now that's up, and then for everybody that is going
to be really, really scary, boy, because if you can't
(37:04):
afford it, you know a lot of people are not
working a lot of it, and some of these hormones
and stuff can be quite pricey. I wish that things
were different, but they are not. Now to the P
Diddy situation, y'all keep asking flames, you gotta comment. I
don't want to see the trial. I want to see
the tapes.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
I thought you won't even understand them. Where is he
putting them?
Speaker 4 (37:28):
I want to see the tapes. I want to see
who's blooming who? That's what I want to see.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
That's hysterical.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
And I think that all the distractions from this P.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Diddy trial, especially to black folks, they are passing bills
and creating laws and moving things around. Y'all really need
to pay attention. And Bobby says this every week the
primaries are coming. Get us a candidate, Now, get us
somebody that we're going to dissect before they dissect, because
that's what we do.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
We're going to pick them apart for long before the
Republicans do.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
I love that Hakim Jeffries stood up on how floor
the other day and said that I don't work for you, sir,
I work for the American people. If more of these
politicians remember that, we might not be where we are
right now.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
We might be in a better place, with a better
temperament in this country. M amen, are you.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
A great But they're they're coming, They're coming. So we
got to get out there, and we have to We
have to somehow figure out a way to motivate the
ninety million that stayed home, which is why, which is
why Trump got in. We've got to get them out.
We're going to get them out.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Trump is going to motivate them to come to the
post because he's going to strip everything that he can
from him. He's going and if he can take them
voting rights, he gonna damn show try to do that too.
But he's going to motivate the hell out of them.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Well, if you have a baby in that big beautiful
bill he's got, people who have babies will get a
thousand dollars that they'll put into a fund and you
can watch it grow through their lifetime and they'll get
it on retirement. That's that's in the idea. I'm like
a thousand dogs. I guess he'll probably get fifty thousand
(39:04):
in the end towards retirement.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
But girl, now with him in office, he's gonna cancel
the program after he built up two enough money he
wanted to take it.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I'd rather than get free free breakfast, take that thousand
dollars in and give them their snap give them their
their food stamps for the people need it.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Oh, Bobby, please let me say this before we get
off the gum. I just wanted to acknowledge that we
just celebrated Malcolm XUS his birthday. Malcolm X was such
a powerful speaker. He died before the same year I
was born. Before I was born. He died in February.
What year was that, I can't remember, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Don't say way before, way before we were born.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
He was my babysitter, and he when I listened to him,
I know he was.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
He didn't promote violence, but he wasn't afraid. He's still
for what he believed in.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
He stood on his integrity once he found who he was,
and his joy and his passion.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
And his uh.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
He was just such a powerful person and to listen
to the words that he said, Dan, and to watch
that we are possibly reliving a bunch of that right now.
Bobby is heartbreaking, and I know he's like all the
work that he put in, it looked like it's just
going away in vain because we don't take and I
say we, I am talking about black folks. We just don't
take us serious enough. We have allowed things to become
(40:23):
more important, things of importance that should be important, and
I think it allowed the other side or other sides
to see that well while they over there acting the food,
we're gonna do this over here. I wish that we
could all get on the court with Malcolm X happy
blady but happy heavenly birthday and Martin Luther King, just
to get back to basics, because Bobby, I don't know
where the hell we had it.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
What you said earlier America, you and danger girl.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
It is so we have to dust off and get
our asses up to the polls.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
That's a lot of ass to get to a pole, Bobby,
But I don't want to see you on those strip
of pole.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I'll get a sling.
