It's going wonderful and I'll be audience sent me a

I can't in two weeks, so they told me so
make sure sometimes tonight we give a few icons.

with the porn where they send it to the porn.
I'm hoping to god they're going to cut down on
the on the porn. Yeah, because it makes like I

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, absolutely, I know. And they always tell you when
they say push push this, don't do it. It'll say
click this link or push on this link, and I will.
I seem a stucker for it. Every time we thank
you something else, we.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Thank you guys for doing us here this week. Let
me tell you, this has been a very exciting week
in the country and politics. And I think I want
to call this episode Divided States of America, because we're
supposed to live in the United States of America, but
it seems that we're living in the divided States of America.
And I just want to give a shout out before
we even get started on the first topic, Bobby two

(03:17):
Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now the Democratic nominee
for picking Tim Wallas. She shocked all of us with
that one. We won't get to that later, but I
was almost ready to bet my hat that it was
going to be Shapiro. But we'll get to that. Let's
start to the hottest topic of the week. Y'all think
politics was hot? Oh, we got to go all the
way over to France, baby, because I don't know what

(03:39):
the hell y'all doing over there in France. Barbie, did
you see the Olympics? First of all, big shout out
to Simone Balles for being the most decorated athlete in
American history. We want to say thank you, lady. I
think her being married to a man has made her
feel like a whole woman, and she just came back
accomplished because for you, years ago she backed out because

(04:01):
of mental pressure. She came back with a vengeance and
the country is proud of you. Here at laugh and
Learning and I hired a black effect. We are very
proud of you, and we see you and congratulations to you. Bobbie.
What interested you in the in the in the.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Olympics, Well nothing big.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Oh it was definitely big. If you saw that guy
jump over that pole pon it was damn show me
it was so big his pole got down the pole.
Now I thought French bread was supposed to come on
the shelf. He carried that fresh bread loaf with him.
Did you see that?

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Oh my god, I'm sorry. He had said he had
quite a bad ac from there. Let me tell you,
I feel badly though. I guess it's any part of
your body, I guess, But I feel like he should
have got a dupe over. You know, he shouldn't have
been disqualified for that. But I'll tell you, I think
it's gonna get a lot of opportunities.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
There were so many jokes and what you just said
about him. He should have got a do over. Do
you know how many men wish they could get a
do over in the painting sector that it's already public
At some point company offered him two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to do point already, I'm like that was
a low ball hold out for the million.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Oh absolutely, absolutely, I mean he'd be a fool.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
But you know these.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Guys though, on the most serious side is you know,
you know they trained for all these years and to
have that happen, I mean, that is devastating. If he
couldn't have just got a fraction of whatever so that
he didn't wop it, he must have been walking funny
when he got off, God bless him.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Well, everybody was like, well, he should have tucked it.
But when you're running now and.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
You are going to be comfortable, yeah, well you have.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
To have a I have a penis and tesco, so
I can speak as from experience. Even when I'm on
stage performing doing directions, if it's tuck between my legs,
you still walk a little gate leg. But when you're
running to jump over a certain hyb of that jeb
you it has to be a free fall. It has
to be able to move. So you were comfortable. So

(05:56):
maybe his underwear was tightened. I'm not saying what he
should have done over because I'm telling you right now
he three or half the world.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
But it was very entertaining.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
It was member if his underwear were a little tighter,
it would not have so much free form. But then
his underwear bent tighter would have may possibly restct restricted.
His run is running fluke, but he's twenty two. In
four years he can come back. Somebody's going to create
some greape. This is somebody to make a great underwear

(06:25):
for us to say he.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Could be draws. He could. He could actually be the
guy that creates the draws that that they actually need. Yes,
some more biles are saying, she's not ruling out twenty
twenty eight, and how old will she be? So why not?
That's this kid?

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Yeah, he's only twenty two. And this is a great idea.
Somebody should now create underwear for men who are well endowed.
That's the instant sports because a lot of men are
and that you Kentucky the jockstrap. Don't hold it, especially
if it's old, because your body didn't got used to
it and then got dangling loose and it was dangling
like a Christmas or Oh did you watch it in

(06:59):
slow mobi? Whoa, it looked like a meat sausage hanging
off a ship. Oh my god, I'm like, what a
tightle way? What a tighter way?

Speaker 3 (07:06):
He needs something to hide that FUFA.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
I hate that happened, but I love that he's young
enough to be able to make her comeback. A and B.
He is going to profit magnanimously off of this. He's
going to make a ton of money off of that.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
I think in broads alone, they'll all be lining up
or whatever you choose. We don't judge here. I think
he's going to have a line from here to China.
But in the meantime, US has As of this afternoon,
I think we were ninety four medals and I think
China was sixty five and forty one or forty two
is Australia. I thought we were neck and neck with China,

(07:42):
but somehow we must have broken out. This was on
the Olympic dot com website, so I'm assuming they're right.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
You know who. I love to prove people wrong, and
I love to see other people prove people wrong. So
the coach who said that the USA team was lazy
four years ago or a few or maybe recently, and
they all proved and wrong them girls. This team has
come through from the runners, the guys who ran the
one hundred meters from Chakari Richardson, who we supported here

(08:09):
at laugh aline with all the scandal. Maybe a year
and a half ago when she tested positive with thac
her system, we supported her because what we love here
is to see you prove people wrong. Don't let nobody
tell you who you are. If you know who you are,
own it, fix it if you need to be fixed,
and then possess it and then do it again. And

(08:31):
we love doovers and second chances here. So yeah, I
love to see all of that and these guys. The
fact we had the fastest mail in America Hikari Richardson,
who y'all counted out a year and have a go,
got a silver. It is just so many highs that
are there aren't any loads because America has really showed
up at the Olympics in the Summer Games in Paris

(08:52):
and really clown I hope that we do that in November. Okay, Bobby,
let's get on to it. Let's get on to it.
Let's get on to it.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Okay, So let's shake that change. First, the campaign sons
have come out and they're actually both sort of impressive.
You know, we already knew that what Harris had come
out within the first week, but she's she's raked in
a whopping three and ten million in July. That that's
pretty impressive considering she only I don't even know what

(09:21):
day she started in July.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
I know she's seventeen two weeks now.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Okay, yeah, so, but but some of those are August, right,
so we'll say an under two weeks, that's what she
she had in But but Trump hass three hundred and
twenty seven million, I'm massed already, so kind of impressive.
He didn't collect as much in in July. I think
he was one hundred and twelve or one hundred and

(09:47):
fourteen or something like that. But but you know, there's
always and I hope everybody keeps this going. There's always
excitement right now, there's a lot of excitement with Kamala.
There's excitement with Kamala, and but we have to keep
that in our less stand ninety days, three months. We
have to hold that firm, everybody, and keep that excitement

(10:08):
up and still go out there, drag a drag a
pal with you to make sure you go vote and
in the meantime vote blue. You know, go on to
the website and donate, even if it's five bucks. If
we all donated five dollars. Think of the millions and
millions and millions of dollars that would be.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
I am going to donate again. It is expensive, especially
when she ac Commoy is running against this machine. But
we love her vice presidential pick JD. Walls, and we're
going to get to that. But the money that he raised,
I know she's going to spend hers on campaigns and
add in movable. But you know what, I hope she
uses a lot of that money for Bobby to go

(10:46):
out to meet the people she needs to go up to.
I think that that's what's missing with the presidency. I remember,
and I know it's not safe because failed attempt assassinated
to with Trump, You're don't have to beef up the
security out to see them kind shake hands, kiss the babies,
hug the seniors. You know, they want to feel like

(11:06):
they're a part of the American people. And I wish
that she could do more of that. But she's on
the crunch time. We got ninety days. She's on crunch time.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
No, she is because people have to get to know her.
And you are right about about the accession assassin nation
at time, say that duntimes fast because there was a
Pakistani national that was actually just arrested who had a
plot to kill Donald Trump and other officials, not just
Donald Trump. So you know, these these nuts are out there,

(11:37):
so if we want to see them, kissing the babies
and shaking the hands, glad handing and all of that.
But I am going to warn people way back when
when President Obama was running the first time I made
my first donation, and I'm going to warn you guys.
It is like having the world's biggest collection agency come

(11:59):
after you once you make thet they're hot and you
you haven't even hit click and you got twenty texts
a day or whatever that said, you just delete them.
I just go on and blocked out particular phone, but
there were ninety other phones that they have going. I'm
just going to want you that I want you to donate.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Bobby Clifford is not lying because look, look all day long,
all this since I donated, and I did donate last
week or week before that, non stop, I get text
message to dope and don't and I want to donate again.
But I'm going to donate at not at my pleasure,
but at my what I can afford, because.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
That should as I said, five dollars if everybody, even
if everybody, I don't think that it goes as low
as one, but if everybody even one dollar, and you know,
and there's there's fifteen million of us, that's a lot
of stinking money. So you know, and the packs can
Oh did you see? I thought it was hysterical. There's
a new pack that came out for older Americans, the

(12:59):
calling it the Right Pack, and they've sent that. They've
sent Kamala a ton of money so far. But I
thought that was hysterical.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Well, I want to thank y'all, but I don't know.
I'm taking offends to the name of that pack.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
No, no, no, no, no, no. I think it's seventy
and above.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
Oh. It takes money to win this election. And I'm
telling you right now whatever you can give, because they're
playing real dirty and they playing real dirty likes and
we have to be equip for the machine. I keep
telling y'all about the October fall out. There will be
in a I believe in my whole spirit that there
will be October fall out or very early well cap

(13:40):
for each other. It's November four, so it'll be even
if it's not November. The first that will be October
fall out. But we are like horses of the race.
Keep your blindness on, keep your eyes focused on the target.
The distraction is going to come. That's how you lose
a race looking side to side. The race is one
looking forward now looking backward, now, looking on the side
of you. You can't worry about what's going on the

(14:02):
side of you. And they gonna pull some bullshit by me,
I feel you know, they already pull an election bullshit
and it is going to be a lot. But I'm
telling y'all right now, stay focused, stay diligent.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
They do your dude, And instead of being told what
you'll get you when we talk about the selection.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Negative seeds in your head if you easily influenced because
they they everybody holiday They Who the hell is they?
You know who they is. They told us back in
sixteen hundreds to go to that boat because they was
giving them a popassed chicken sandwich. We went, and they
brought us over to this country, and now they want
us to leave. That's who they is. You're not fucking
with they. I'm only fucking with I. I'm going to

(14:44):
make my own decisions on what I want. I'm not
telling you who to vote for. You know your situation
and you know the consequences. But a fuck are they
They've been getting us in trouble a long time. They said, oh,
you should go over to that ship they got pop
passed chicken sandwich. I said, ooh, let me try one.
They put my ass on the boat and brought me here.
I was cool, I will leave me alone no more days.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
It's probably one one destructive person who just identifies as
a day one trouble maker in the ground. I think
it is, But no, you are true. I'm going to
say this. Listen to the vase. I never think I
don't think that any of us shouldn't listen because we
can get more information, but then vet the information that
they're giving you. Google is literally a click away or

(15:29):
Safari or whatever you have on your phone. Takes two
seconds to vet something and see if it's correct or
if it's true. Again, well, we'll talk about a few
lies that are being told and how easy it was
to actually actually go and get the information and validate it.
Something else that I want to talk about was I'm

(15:49):
these Israel groups are pretty solid. We have in Congress.
We lost another member of the squad. Corey Bush lost
to she's, you know, another Democrat, Wesley Bell, so Saint
Louis County prosecutor. So she is the second one in
the squad. Jamal Bowman also lost I think it was

(16:11):
back in June, to George Latimer, and they were backed
by I'm gonna I have to say this American Israel
Public Affairs Committee a PAC, and it's the largest pro
Israel lobby. They spent eight million armed dollars against against Bush,
backing Bell against Bush.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
So Jamal Bowman I knew was going to lose because
he did not support Joe Biden publicly. And whatever we
thought about Joe Biden and him being a senior or
him being whatever he was, he still was. He still is.
I'm sorry, he still is the President of the United States,
and there's some level of respect, and so I kind

(16:52):
of knew that they were going to turn on him,
you know.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
And I love that you just said that, because every
time I'm seeing her getting accolades, Harris and they wanted to.
Don't get me wrong, everybody, but I'm feeling badly for
him because he's still working. He just got that prisoner exchange, right,
Old sleepy Joe whose mind is gone. Biden orchestrated this intricate,
complicated prisoner exchange between seven countries where twenty four prisoners

(17:21):
were released. We got three. Would we have lived to
have received more, of course we would have, but we
got three. So far there are still eight Americans left behind,
one of them being that ballerina that came from there.
He's still working to try to get more out. But
this was the biggest exchange, they said since the Cold
War ended. So he's still working. And I hope everybody

(17:44):
remembers that he had promised that there were three or
four things that he had wanted to do. Some of
it was reformed with Scotus, And I just want people
to remember this man is still working for us, working,
you know, very very hard.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
It's a body cleaver. I think he heard me. Somebody
watched my page because I said I needed him to
go rogue before he rolled up out of here. And
I'm loving the fact that he is going rogue.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
The only thing my concern is is because you know,
all of this is chestnut checkers, right. I am sure
there are a million things that he could would love
to do with the executive privilege, but he's not going
to want to harm Kamalist chances. So usually, as you know,
within the last two months of them going, they released
also to people from prison, non violent offenders and whatnot

(18:29):
from prison, and they're going to be watching him. You know,
he's not going to be able to do what he
probably wants to do as much as he wants to
do because it might harm her. So but I say, go, Joe,
keep a coming, baby, I'm here for it.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Now. You have planned to de seed in my head, Bobby,
because I'm hearing what you said about your Biden and
commonly getting all the shine and everything. I love the
fact that he, no, I don't know him personally, but
he is not publicly trying to steal the lambl like
that because he knows what the bigger He knows what
the bigger picture is.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
He keeps giving it.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
If it was the other one in this situation, honey,
he would be on press conference every day. But I
love that Joe Biden is laying in the cut allowing
this to move organically because he knows what the big
picture is come November fifth.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
And including her in any little shine he has left,
including her. The first thing that he said was, and
Kamala was included in those calls she was making those
prisoner released. I don't know way Kamala was. Maybe she was,
but he's he's trying to give her some foreign policy chops,
you know, give her some sort of validity. And I'm
sure if she was included, it's because he wanted just that,

(19:46):
he wanted her, you know, he wanted her beside him,
so she was learning. You know, being with him must
must be like having a masterclass. So you know, I
go jo, as I said, I hope that.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
You know what's so exciting, Bobby all the hooplah now,
because when Joe was just it was Joe. We was like, oh,
we're staying with him, but oh it was gloomy doom.
I'm not excited about this election, but I'm excited at
the people rallying from Kamala Harris and throwing their head
to ring him and even Republicans like, I can't do it.

(20:23):
I just cannot vote for this man. They're not changing
their party, but they're changing their vote.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
They and I've heard I've heard several that there was
some sort of meeting, you know, because it wasn't around me.
Because Trump wasn't there, but there was some sort of
meeting where there were eight Republican leaders in leadership. I
don't know if they were in Congress or if they
were just governors or whatnot. I caught the clip almost
at the end, and they said. One of the gentlemen said,

(20:53):
I have been my entire life. He had to be
in his late sixties, early seventies. I am a Republican
and this is the first year I'm not voting and
I am literally what he was saying was what he
was not Trump. This man will destroy our country. I
am supporting Kamala Harris because I'm listening and I know
that I might not agree with all our policies, but
there's nothing that's going to harm people. She's you know,

(21:13):
she wants to probably do a little more than what
we want. But and I thought, that's a brief person.
Romney had come forward and said it. He used to
be my former governor, and he said he said he
absolutely would never vote for Trump.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
And he was you can't do nothing but respect him
as an American because that's what I'm saying. This is
an episode of what's going to be called Divided States
of America. He has done all he could to divide
this country to almost to a brink of what he
looks like he wants to push a civil war. We're
not going backwards, as that's the slogan that they've been saying.
We're not going backwards, that's going backwards. So I applied

(21:51):
Romney and anybody else who's getting the balls, and I
said this, I told you, people are tired of the chaos.
White folks and Republicans of the racism ain't going no
day anwhere it may not be, but it ain't going
nowhere but the chaos. We can't live like this. We
cannot live like this.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
It is Ronney got out, he got he couldn't take it.
He's I think he finishes in January. I believe he's done.
Like he just said, I can't there you go, I can't.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
You just say correctly he said, what Bobby, what did
he say?

Speaker 3 (22:23):
I can't do it any longer with my party. The
fact that they are pushing Trump and you know it's
not the part of the old Grand Party any longer.
You know, those people are they're drying up. But anyway,
that was that that that's him, just the stuff he says,
I mean mean, even look at Trump with the last

(22:44):
week when he was with those journalists saying, the black journalists,
what is the what is the acronym?

Speaker 4 (22:51):
The National Association of Black Jenerals.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
All of a sudden he's saying that she's she's suddenly
black when she has been and he posted a picture
of her and he' sorry, you know how she's a
fraud and whatnot? And who then who backs her? JD
Vance Baxter and said, you know, he says she's a
shape shifter. Do you know what I call a shape shifter? Flame?
Somebody who just four or five short years ago said

(23:17):
that Trump was a was America's hitler. It's a whole
host of other terrible derogatory things toward him, and now
he's on the same ticket. Does that doesn't that seem
like more of a shape shifter than Kamala who I thought.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
I thought you was gonna say something more like a girdle.
You know. Let me tell you about JD. Van. J
JD Van to me, he pulled the McCain and got
worse than Sarah Paylen because JD. Vance to me is
from the Democratic aspect. It's fantastic because he's a complete

(23:54):
buffoon but from the Republican Party's aspect, he is really
showing cloud in them and they're seeing the idiotity that
they I don't my personal opinion, I do not think
that he will make it to the finish line. I
think that we will see a live version of The
Apprentice and Trump will say those favoue words. I'm not
gonna say it. We gotta wait for him to say it,

(24:16):
because first of all, he is outshining Trump with the buffoonery.
And you cannot outshine Trump, whether it's good or no bad.
You cannot get more publicity than Trump. And he's not
getting good publicity, and he is not bringing anything. He's
saying the most outlandish things out of his mind, and
then his past keeps coming to bite him in the ass,
which personally I think he liked, but it just keeps

(24:39):
coming to bite him in the ass. And I don't
think he's going to make it to the finish lamb.
I think I think Trump is going to make history
and say those famous words from The Apprentice. That's my
personal opinion.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
The only and you're not the only one. I was
watching Chris Cuomo and he was saying that he wouldn't
be surprised either. But the only problem is is that
that would make it even more messy Trump campaign even more.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Messy, which would be great for the Democratic Party. But
he is pulling down the iron curtain on the Republicans,
and not on purpose. I think he's just he doesn't know.
He's not experienced enough. What was he a junior lieutenant
government for what? Two years? Yes? Experience? Yeah, like you said,

(25:21):
Bobby the shape shifter of the White Holk, say, shape shifter,
let me tell you what we say, two face. He's
two fast. He's a worst because you're exactly like five
years ago he was the Trump destroyer. Now he catching
it as it comes out as Trump's But I don't
like what she washing. I don't like two faith. I
will never have no trust for him. But now he's

(25:42):
showing the Republican Party that they can't trust him because
he is worse than a loose cannon. He's a loose,
uninformed cannon. Y'all in trouble.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Uh Yeah, I just don't. And I feel like Trump
is almost laying the So at that same meeting, he
had said to the journalists of that nobody, nobody even
cares about the vice president. Of course the vice president
hopefully will win against him, so who cares? And I
thought the first thing I thought of they don't make
a difference an election, and I'm thinking he did. Forget

(26:12):
about McCain. You know, you just mentioned that Sarah Palin
sank McCain's campaign bank.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
It they thought she was the great White hope. She
was the Alaskan crab. No, she's saying, yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
So they do make a difference in which will bring
us into our next topic. But they absolutely do make
a huge difference who you choose.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
And so the winner is hey, Kim Wallas the government
of Man. And I'm going to tell you right now
that she blew us out the water with that one,
because I don't even his name being in the running.
But once our research, thank you Bobby Clear because 'all
know Bobby makes any research to see who this American was,

(26:56):
because this is exactly what the fuck he is. He's
an American citizen, form a VET, former teacher, former coach,
started an alliance in high school, which is a very
crucial time in somebody who is NBT or does not
recognizes himself as being part of the LGBT community self included,
you need a voice, you need to know. You don't

(27:17):
need a voice, you need an ear. You need a
carrying ear to hear you and see you. He did
all of that, a dad, let me tell you something.
I'm like, Oh, they did they research on this one,
because I would have been my my dirty and clean
draws that it was going to be Shapiro.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Oh, I thought it was going to be Shapiro too.
And you know what, I like what he did about
the gay alliance that was in school. It was so
well thought out and so and it was so strategic.
He thought, who would give a better voice to this
group than the football coach, you know, a big burley,
masculine veteran, you know, blah blah. So he thought, if

(27:55):
he gave full full acceptance, you know, that would either
kids would would give acceptance to it too. So yeah,
he's he's absolutely. He was in his second term. Before
he was he was brought to the VP chair, served
twelve years in Congress. He has a proven record of
working for the working class. Sixty year old former teacher,

(28:20):
In fact, I loved I thought he has really quick wit.
Somebody said to him, you look so much older because
they're the same age. He just turned sixty and Common
will be sixty in October. And he said, well, she
wasn't a high school teacher, social studies teacher because they agia.
Those kids agia so right now.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
But that's one of that was one of the draws
to me. You know, I like people who talk shit.
I love that he talked and he does not back down.
That is what is missing courage in this country. We
talked about this a couple of episodes ago. Courage is
different now, but I love that he has the convictions
of who he is and the courage of being a
man and an American to stand up for himself. Oh,

(29:00):
this is about to be good. This is about to
be good.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
It is gonna be So he's also he's a National
Guard VET. He signed up when he was seventeen. He
served twenty four years both Domesican overseas. This is one
of the things that a lies that's being told, and
it's it's it's well, it's a lie. I can't even
say he twisted information. So Vance came out today and
he said that he was such a chicken. I'm paraphrasing.
People go and watch him. He said that he left

(29:27):
the service before his his group was going to go
overseas because he didn't want to. He didn't want to
go into battle.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Okay, stop that. So he says that he who's there, this.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Vance who also served, but he was a journalist over there.
But he's still it's very high to be a journalist.
But that's not the truth.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
When he while you're saying that he left, just even
if that's not true. The other one, yeah, also even
made it to the service because he claimed he had
bones first, So before you throw glass out of that window,
check that other because that other window gonna bounce that
grass right back at you. That's bullshit, but it's not.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
He was over forty when he left. I think he
left in two thousand and five or two thousand and six.
Like it was easy to see. It was just his time,
his his the other thing that he's for. And I
think this affected it was he he and his wife
had had to have their children through IDs, so his
they had one in two thousand and one, one in

(30:24):
two thousand and five or six. He probably left when
the wife was pregnant with the second child and just
said this was my time. His His group didn't go
over to go over to the Middle East until a
year and a half after, so, like he was supposed
to know that they were gonna So, you know, I
don't like that stuff. That stuff I don't like when
you're lying and you're in you're trying.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
To sit and know this, this is what we're up against. Distractions,
that is, that's all gonna be. Stop beating and stop
putting all that in the DNA. Stop clicking that stuff
to say, ooh, I know it looks juicy to hear,
but when somebody planned speed of doubt in your head,
if you have any room for doubt, because I'm focused

(31:04):
like a horse and the race is Kamra Harris. Be'st
it for me And I'm only.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Speaking for me, you know, And I agree with that
he is, so you know what they had somebody had
said to him, he's kind of a folksy person.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
He was.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
So yesterday the announcement was made while they were in Pennsylvania.
They're on this seventh state tour. Today they were in Wisconsin,
as was as was Vance and somebody in the he
started his speech and clearly somebody that was in front
of him, he said they. So he didn't say man
or woman, so you didn't know, which I don't know

(31:38):
if they passed out. He said, they need help. Someone
get them water, get a team over here, help them.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
He stopped.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
He stopped about two or three minutes until they were
being taken care of it. He said, sorry, everybody, we
got You know, neighbors are supposed to be helping neighbors.
And then he just continued on with his speech. And
I thought, that's true, and then asked if anybody else
felt a little peaked, could they get them water? They said,
can we got some waters out here for you know,
the people in the front. He said, it was blaring
hot out there, I guess, but I thought, that's that's compassion.

(32:07):
He wasn't doing it for someone got sick, and he
just the other one probably would have just he to me,
is like he would roll over him. Hillary Clinton endorsed him.
She said he got free mails to school kids who
were desperate, who didn't have a meal at home, and
he he did implemented family paid leave in his state.

(32:29):
He's for the every man, she said, And I thought,
oh god.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
There's part about the first part of that story that
you told me, Bobby, before you told me about the
kids getting school lunches. When you said that, the person
passed out in the audience and told do do you
know that? That is what America used to be? That
is what America used to be.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
That's what he said, that you cared about your supposed
to be.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Yes, oh yeah, somebody and God forbid that those two
would trying to do that damn assassination to Trump. But
that or JEF somebody mentally challenged you know, when the
guy who was physically challenging Trump made all the arms.
That is not who America is. That is the America
that y'all want us to be. We don't want to
be that America. That's why I say we don't want
to live in. We don't want to be those miserable people.

(33:15):
We want to be happy in. Like I'm telling you
right now, by this, this shit is about to get good.
This is about to be good.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Well I think so. And you know what the funny
part of that is. And I don't know if they'll
even plain in a meme or whatever. He sort of
enlisted the guy beside it. He goes help him, you're
sitting behind him, beside him, help him. And whoever did
they must have propped aim up. He also says he's funny,
he's he's of course, he was in the Natural Guard,
so he's obviously owns a gun. He's an avid hunter.

(33:46):
He says about himself that he's a swiftie and he's
a member of the beehive.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Well he's only sixty. Yeah, he just looks Look you
know how you wipe the way he didn't?

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Yeah, we crack, Yeah, we we do. He went I
think he went for prematurely white.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
But you know how black crack. That's a damn letter
back to these these angles ain't ship. Let me just
tell y'all right now, So yeah, that's not true. But
and we can make fun about the racist. This is laughing.
But he just looks older. He's he's your age, Bobby,
did you care say he's your age, Bobby? So your age?
So you know you don't. So that's what I'm saying.

(34:30):
I think that's great that he knows that music because
he's still Yeah, he just looks like an older man.
He's only sixty.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yeah, he has and his kids are you know, younger there.
He's got a son that is on like an I E. P.
He's got a D d U a d h D.
We all had someone. Yeah, Well, what I like is
that he knows what it is with the kid with
challenges that you're trying to educate. He's got some non
verbal something. The way he learns and his daughter, I

(34:59):
think it is like twenty two. I've seen the daughter
with him. But he's codified abortion when when the federal
abortion was taken away, he codified it in Minnesota, so
anybody can get it there. He expanded the Family Leave Act.
He protects gender affirming healthcare because there was a time
they couldn't. People who were in transition just couldn't get

(35:19):
the medical health care that they needed. He requires universal
background checks for if you're going to have a gun,
and he legalized recreational marion, so you might be called
up there in Minnesota, but but you might.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Be so high you won't remember it.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
That's exactly so anyway I say, I say, so, I
don't have to do.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
It because I don't smoke marijuana. Honestly, I will take
an editor. That's just been very true for y'all know
that though, because I talk about that on State Uh,
so many people not just for medicinal purpose. When I
when I do go to the dispensary. Here in California,
the majority of the people that's in those dispensaries are
Caucasian and spend and spend massive amounts of money at

(36:11):
one time. You know, black folks will go to the hood,
get us a Toyola band. But I'm just saying that
because and I believe that, you know, face wise, a
lot of people might white say, oh, he's legalized in marijuana,
like that's a drug. But a lot of a lot
of people who don't probably don't want their faces to
be seen, will probably agree with that because they already

(36:32):
smoke marijuana and they want to be able to travel
with it from state to state because they're not going
out of the country. Some states you can travel with
it to some states they will lock you up for it.
I think a lot of people that's going to be
a plus for him. I think I think they think
that some of them Republican trumpet can think and that's
gonna be a minus. But putting in they'll smoke weed too.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Shit, well, I know, and if you're drinking, I see,
I don't see the difference. I rather, I will say this,
you're supposed to use it just like drinking. You're not
supposed to it behind the veil. Do you know how
many cheech and chunk cars I've been behind lately. It's
issue with the vaping. For the love of God, keep it,
keep it in your lane, and keep it in your
living room.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
That's something that's gonna be for his campaign. I know it.
Twenty years ago it would have been a hell of
a no no, But these are very different times that
we're living here.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
And oh look what President Biden has done. He released
a whole bunch of people for you know, non violent
you know, uh, the crimes, drug crimes. But but anyway, No,
I think learn a new world. We've got to We've
got to kind.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
Of a commercials and everything I tell you, I know
it sounds. It sounds. When I first heard our creamed
a little, and then I thought about where we live
and how we live, and all these young kids and
even older people smoke marijuana. You know, I'm like, yeah,
that might listen, that might work in his favor. Because
I hear people at the airport because I traveled so much,

(37:53):
talk about how they trying to have their their weed
in suitcases or whatever because of the dogs. Now you
can just walk around and make up these report to
be hitting the blunt with the police Officeer, good guy,
Then you wanted some of this those that I think
that's where they want to live at. I do. I
believe that's what people want to live at.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Well, I'll tell you they'd have to draw them in
because Minnesota is gorgeous in the summer, which is probably.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
Good. Cold, it's a different and it's a different kind
of cold. It really is.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
It's bone.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
It's the bone.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
We get it here too, but only for.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
A very time, which is why they created those buildings
in downtown of Minnesota that you can go through the
buildings to move around. You don't have to be outside.
That's how cold it gets. I'm cool. I'm cool. I'll
stay in southern California. Okay, where we're going, by me,
where we're going.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
I think we have just literally a teeny tiny just
quick quick things to mention. I don't know if you
saw that Defense Secretary of Lloyd Austin scrapped the scrapped
the plea deal for the nine to eleven plotters. That
was it was two years in the making, it was years.
Two days before it was supposed to go out, so
I guess to too, those are the numbers, and he said, no,

(39:13):
it's going to move forward.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
They're going.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
They should get their just rewards for what they've done
to us. I am sure. The next topic, which we'll
just talk about two seconds, the economy, the market. We
had a market tumble, of course people because we had
only one hundred and fifteen thousand jobs were made by
Biden and their people are panicking. There's no panic. We're
not in a recession. People will mention the R word.

(39:35):
We're not in a recession. But they are talking about now,
which is kind of great because my car shit the bed,
so I need to buy a car now that interest
rates are supposed to be coming down in September, so
fingers and toast cross. That happens. This happens every election.
It goes crazy like three months before and for three
months after until the new the new president actually gets in.

(39:58):
Ukraine got their fighter jets that they've been asking for
to fight, to fight putin yay for them. And the
Middle East.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
Wait a minute, there from one of the Hamas leaders.
They did they did it.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
It was one of them, and so you know, Iran
is off of the wall because that's happened. So it's
it's it's vowed revenge on on Israel, and it's and
this is this is making I think it's uh yeah, yeah, Sinoir.
I know I'm saying his name wrong. I shouldn't and
I'm not making light of it. I just don't know

(40:36):
how to It's y A h y A is one
of them. There were two of them that were killed.
But it's it's tense over there. I wouldn't want to
be in. President Biden said this about a week and
a half ago. Watch where you're going, people. We conscious
walk around like we used to be able to twenty
thirty years ago, you know, between the prisoner exchange when
he came out, when he spoke about that, things are.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Very so I hate that they killed those Tamoskas. You know,
I don't know all of that situation. I'm not speaking
on that before y'all guys go. But when I say
I hate that they happened, I hate that it happen.
Now we're in the middle, we're so close to this
election that everybody is pointing the fingers of blame at
everybody else is and war, the wars are not going

(41:21):
to stop. These wars are getting really really uh treacherous,
and they're really bad, and eventually it's going to lead
to some other country that supports one country that don't
support us, and then we all gonna be in the
ship show the words.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
You're right because where one of their biggest allies, Israel,
is one of our biggest allies. They handle they handle
it around for us, so we could sit in our
beds and go to sleep at night. We don't have
to worry about nonsense happening here these countries over there.
Every time people.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
Going to spill over. And I hope not, because I'm
telling you right now. There's a song that Herald Maryland
and Blunos, that Teddy Pendergrave saying called wake Up Everybody,
and there's a line that said, there is the world
is so much different from what it used to be.
There is so much hatred, war and poverty. That song
was made in seventy four. This is twenty and twenty four,

(42:16):
and those words are as prolific now as they they
are as signific now as they were they That is
not speaking volumes of joy and prosperity in this country.
It's not it's too much hate. It's too much division,
the divided States of America. That is what we have
become because we were supposed to come from other places

(42:37):
as a melting pot, the Irish, the Black, the Africans united,
that's what it means to be united. We allow somebody
who is a damn reality star to come in and
y'all just opened up the gates of heaven because of
the popularity over the professionalism and the authority and the experience.

(43:01):
Because it was a it was a it was shiny,
it was pretty, that pretty would it.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Was entertaining, but we got we gave up all of
those things that you just said. We gave up, you know,
someone that had experienced something.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
That was we looked very damaged as the country. And
I'm from out. I'm not talking about somebody else on
the outside. I can only imagine. I can imagine what
they said about us, their love.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
They're loving it because we were the beacon on the
hill and we felt like we were superior whenever they
would say, you could see an American and they stick
right out when they travel. They think everything is owed
to them and we probably do so they're loving this
right now.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
But we're better than that. Saarlier we got a chance
that they would do over. Y'all when I tell you,
we get a chance to do it over. And that
as as Kamala and uh A Wall says, we're not
going back, we are not going back. This is not
up to me, It is up to everybody. I said this,

(44:04):
I'm gonna say this until the elections over a billionaire's vote.
Jeff Bezos and I are on equal urns when it
comes to the election process because his vote carries the
same weight as mine and you as well. Baby, get
your ass to the post. Make sure that everything is
deducts in the rope. Because they playing hardball. They are unregistering,

(44:25):
they're changing address, they're rezoning. You've got to make sure
that you are crisp and concise because what we will
not get a chance to do over is that vote.
Make sure nobody writes on your ballot. It's okay for
you to say I need another ballot. Make sure that
you if you are with an elderly or somebody who
is autistic or on the spectrum, help them to make
sure that they vote correctly. Because I'm not telling you

(44:47):
which party to vote for it, I can never tell
you what that to do. But you should vote for
your best interest. If you guess somebody your family as
a veteran or a woman or autistic or a transgender
or a black life tino or whatever, you should be
voting for Kamla Harris because then you're voting for yourself.
That's just my two cents, Okay, with three cents.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
Yeah, I think so too. Hey, if there's a group
called like.

Speaker 4 (45:14):
That, I think.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
White dudes, the rest of us, the rest of us
can step in line.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
I think I like that name Bobby Clifford, I think
the name Micham and listen. And that's what we have
to do. We have to be able to make light
of what the obvious is. If they white dudes, guess
what that ain't even to do. They're just white dudes.
But we we can, we make we take things to
go the wrong way. I love it and I love it.
So many white white people are coming. They had white

(45:43):
women for COMMDA, white men for coming. Now I got
white dudes. I've seen the days for Kamda. It's so
many people. Yeah, the m this is the excitement of
this election is something that you might not see for
a very long time. So get excited, stay excited, keep
the same energy that you have now ninety days later

(46:03):
because things are gonna be thrown at you that you
have to put your little blockers up and don't pay
attention to because some shit gonna come down the pipe.
Get ready forward. But if you focus on what what's
really important and the big picture as an American, we're
gonna win, and we're gonna win. You gotta win inside
before you went outside. Damnite. You got to winn your
spirit so she can feel like she's gonna win because

(46:24):
we dropped the ball a bite. We got to keep
her uplifted. If she is our face, we got to
keep the joy behind her, which means she needs to
fill our love support even financially. So do what the
hell you gotta do. God damn we have had an
episode today. Bobby Clifford. Oh, I got to tell you
that that would be in New York City August the
twenty sixth at Comedy in Harlem, which is a new location.

(46:49):
Google and look on my Instagram social media and twenty
seven I'll be at Saint Mark Comedy Club which is
down by the village. Also, I taped were playing spades
with mister Nick Cannon Monday with my best girlfriend dot
heyes us to die and Nick Cannon publicly said that
he was going to executive produce my new one hour special,
so y'all be looking for that when the show come out.

(47:10):
He said it on the show numerous time. First of all,
we had the best time you ever had in your life.
So are your big things are popping? We try to
keep laughing learn on the map. Make sure you download
a chair with a friend. Let everybody know that laugh
and learn is here four years in with Flame and
Row and Bobby Clifford the aka Tooks and guess what,
We're gonna keep giving you what we get, and we
want youry to keep informing us on the things that

(47:32):
you want us to know or that you want to
teach us, because we're not too old to learn. Bobby's
a little older than me, but we're not too old
to learn. Oh now, we appreciate you because this is
a transfer information because here you laughing learned. The model
has not changed and will not change. We are not
trying to get you to change your mind. We are

(47:52):
only trying to get you to use your mind. Because
why Bobby is a mind is even worse one. So
get your ass to the polls. Roll up, walk up,
smoke up, whatever you need to do. This is something
that can alter the future, and not possibly the way
that you wanted to because if you think it's bad,

(48:12):
if you think it's bad, it can get worse. I've
seen a picture of Trump today. You remember he said
he didn't know what project twenty twenty five on his
private jit with the with the author of Project twenty
twenty five. Pay attention people, this means you, all right, well,
I think you're trying to produce it. Aaron Howill. Feel
