(01:42):
welcome to this week's episode of Left and Learned. I
am here and we're about in Kansas City, Kansas. But
I'm here with my cost She's not actually here though.
How you tested with Bobby Clifford? How you tested?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm freezing by as five degrees in Kansas City, and
it's a.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Differ and if you get that wind, that's a different
kind of cold.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yes, I'm just looking forward to the whatever hurricane neverhood
that came and scooped up. Dorothy, please come and take
me somewhere because America is getting on my nerves.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, I don't blame you. It's getting on all of
my nurves.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
How was your weak body?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It was okay, it was okay. It's been super cold
here and super icy, you know, which is you know, never,
a never, never, a great combination. But but we're getting
through it.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
We're praying to everybody over on that East coast. Bobby's
in Boston, y'all just got hit with something. But I
don't know. It's cold around the country. I am in Kansas, wet.
I started to tour today with Tiffany Hattish. Our first
show is tomorrow and we're in Mayota, may Reda, Kansas
at the and it's cold here and this place is
(02:57):
far from the airport, so it was like a road
t to get here. But everybody here has been so pleasant.
See y'all go to Tiffany Hanni's dot comp tickets. Other
than that, I'm all in the blocks for something that
happened months ago when they just reshared it. I will
not comment on it because it's unimportant to me. But
what I will comment on is I was on the
plane today, Bobby, right, and I was already my anxiety
(03:20):
was very high because this is the first time I've
flown this year with all the debacle that's been happening
with you. As soon as we land, we see that
there was an accident in Arizona where two people were killed.
But I was on the plane my anxiety was h
So when they shut the door and I closed put
my mask all the way on, Bobby go, I just
closed my eyes. Was like, oh my god, if this
is it, this is it because you just it's so iffy.
(03:43):
Now it's always a game of chance, but right now,
lately it's just been a lot. I don't know what
that is all about, but it terrified me, Bobby. And
remind you, I got to fly twenty six days with Tiffany.
That's fifty two flights, not counting layovers.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You're going to be fine.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It is.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It is not that I'm taking away your because I
am a very bad flyer and I just had to
fly home from Florida after the the Washington debacle.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But there's like one It's it's like getting hip twice
by lightning. They said, it's one one in every eleven
million flights that goes off. You're going to be fine,
You're going to be fine. It is it is nerve wrecking.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Though that might have been, that might have been last year.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But this year, yeah, he just said it, just said yesterday.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
But this year, Oh my god, Jesus, there's been so
many accidents. But I'm glad to be here. Oh, you
know what I want. I want to start with. Oh,
I know what I want to start with. And all
the two days that we get mostly in red states,
by the way, we're in the red state, and I
truly want to ask the audience y'all still happy with
your decisions, because some people are not very pleased with
(04:57):
the way that their president that they and voted for
some of the things that he's doing, by way, they
are not pleased with. They are a little upset. Starting
with those farmers. They are little throat that a lot
of them may lose their situation, They may lose their livelihoods,
they may lose their generational family farms and the business,
(05:18):
which is all they knew. And I'm not laughing at
them or laughing for them, because you knew you did
not listen to what he was saying. The only promise
is that he will keep will be the revenge promises.
But those people believed in him, and I want to
say that they were bamboozled, but he kind of like
told them and they still voted for him. That's the
(05:41):
part that I don't get there.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He came right out, he spent he ran his whole
platform on it was a revenge tour. I mean, he
just came out and told everybody. So he's not lying.
He came out and he told you. The fact that
you're shocked, I'm not shocked. I'm every time he does
something more outrageous because I do believe half of it
as half of it is he's just throwing, you know,
(06:05):
shit against the wall and seeing what sticks. And he's
just trying to distract us from what's actually not not
paying attention. And something that the Democrats really have to
do is we've already spoken about get a mission, look
at what's actually important, like the Gulf of America. I
could give a rats ass whatever. When the next president's in,
he's going to turn it around and call it what
(06:26):
it's going to be, you know, And the President of Mexico.
Shinebomb's already she's suing Google over it for making the change.
So let her let that be her her stand that
she wants to she wants the hills, she wants to
die on. But I get nervous over the the war
(06:48):
that's going to stop. That that Houten, the dictator and
Trump are going to stop stop for Ukraine and they're
not inviting him and uh and now because use he
started saying things that weren't true, like Zelensky, He's alluding
that Delenzy started it and should have made a deal,
(07:10):
when all Zolensky did was protect his people like a patriot.
He said that Trump lives in disinformation. And now Trump
is coming out like a four year olds or a
fourth grader. I'll upgrade him on the elementary school block.
And now he's calling him a dictator, one of the
(07:31):
most non dictatory people who wants democracy for his people.
So it is so disturbing. That's what we need to
pay attention to because if he and Putin start thinking
the two of them can make all sorts of decisions
for the West. You don't think that she and Kim
(07:51):
Jong un aren't going to get together and say all right,
we'll make decisions over here, for that's not the way
it goes, you know. And when they stop pulling out
a NATO and watering, then that's the stuff we need
to pay attention. That's the hell that we need to
die on.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I think that you said the most prolific thing by
me when you said a four year old. We watched it.
So now that is the key to the That is
the puzzle piece. So if you guys, he has shoushed disrespectfully, reporters,
heads of states, congressmen, senators, their wives, anybody, but the
(08:27):
four year old Elon Munk's son shoushed him. So the
secret to putting Trump in his place is to put
him in a room with a bunch of privileged There
can't be a three reverend four year olds. They have
to be privileged for you better than Yeah. It will
shut him down because they all have the same like you.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Right. Well, he's so afraid he well we talked about
that last week when that kid told him to shut
the f up and when he was picking his nose
and hanging like on him. My god, I was so schemed.
And and mosque bleusses hot wasn't paying any attention. I thought,
I thought that you know whether.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
But nothing you are. But you know, you know why
that was so disrespectful for him picking his nose and
hanging out with Trump, because it is the public record
that Donald Trump is a known germaphobe.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh you know what, I'm well, I'm a little bit
of a germaphone. It's one thing when it's your own kids,
you'll take any of their whatever comes out of every orifice,
and you deal with it. It's because it's your own kid,
and you will do it for your friends or your
nieces and nephews, and you're a little schewed. But they're family,
you know, by extension, and you'll do But a stranger
(09:40):
I would be gagging. I would have been like you,
he ended him a tissue. Here to the father take
care of him.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I would have pinched the shit out there, boy, like
my grandmother used to get me in church, I got
the bon. You would have got that good little pitch
on the arm.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
My mother used to make a fast and then hold
it down by her side, so if we were sitting
in the pew in church, like nobody could see her
but but us, and she would give us the union.
You got the look. And then one time I don't
know why she did it to Teresa. Teresa was being naughty,
being loud or whatever, because Teresa would just talk right out. Well,
(10:18):
she walked in, you know, and she says, oh my god, Mom,
it's the preci you hate. Are we still coming in?
And so my mother was dying. Of course she had
to go in and it was appreciated. So that my
mother's given her the fist. Well that's what we used
to call it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Her.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
She goes here, you get obsessed me and you're gonna
abuse me with that fist movement. Everybody's looking at the
mean woman that stads beating the special needs girl. So
that time it got her. She she kind of laid
off with the fists after that, but we were still
terrified of her.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Put it put him in the room with a bunch
of four year olds, and I can tell yourself that is.
And then I'm on the playing today, Bobby, and tell
me I'm wrong now, because you know how they had
the little little titled things they go across at the
Bible him of the news, and so I'm talking to
the lady next to me, and I'm partially reading it,
but I cut the tail end of He accused Zolensky of,
(11:08):
like you said, of being a dictator, and then accused
Dylynsky of starting this war. Yeah, when the when Russia
has invaded their country, Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, he's trying to re well. He is sidled up
to Putin. We know he is always he's being played
like a fiddle by Putin, and he's criticizing everybody else
of the same thing happening with everybody else. He said
that Biden, Zelensky paid, played Biden like a fiddle, and
(11:37):
that wasn't the case. Biden saw what was happening. He
acted with full full support until Trump got involved, and
even even after Trump got involved, still full support of
Congress to help them. And he Trump keeps telling people
(11:57):
how much money we gave. It should have been loan.
We didn't give money like people are actually thinking there
was a check written and we hand it over money. No,
we gave weapons and ammunition. And where were the weapons
and ammunition built flame here in the United States? So
we we did give them, but we were employing people,
were they were paying taxes back in that's the employees,
(12:21):
not Zelenski, but now he's trying to he's trying to
even rewrite that and trying to get it back like
it's alone. And Len's is like, what are you doing?
This is so backwards. You don't do that on money
that's already been given. It's one thing if money going forward.
But yeah, I don't. I'm so disappointed. And that's the best.
(12:43):
I'm not shocked by anything that happens, but I am
so disappointed.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Need to be uncovered, Bobby. I just think it's it
is just the way that they are doing it, Like
with with Monsk going up in Social Security from what
from the documentation that they have put out, they get
people with three hundred and something years old gets social
Security kicks.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
It's a lot. It's all lies. I mean, they've already
proven it. So first off, he said, so social Security.
Elon Musk came out and he said it's the biggest
fraud in history. Now, so here's the thing. When we've
talked about this too before over the past few episodes,
I think Reagan, Clinton, and Obama all ran on cutting waste.
(13:28):
None of them were able to really cut enough because
it's it actually costs money. To save money, you have
to get people that go into each one of these
different organizations see how they run, like know it like
you know, like a fifty year old fifty year employee,
see where the fat is and then cut the fat.
That way, you just don't eliminate either the organization or
(13:50):
you don't know which employees are the most essential employees.
They found that out with the nuclear weapons people, right,
he let all a whole bunch of them go and
then all of a sudden finds we find out, oh no,
we actually need them if we want to have some
sort of security. So it's the way they're doing it
is not right. I love the idea of savings, but
not doing it. So he's saying that there is millions,
(14:14):
millions of people that are getting Social Security. Chris Kwalmon,
I can't think of the organization. I was watching it
late at night last night, and I didn't write it down.
That did an audit that have has access to the
records of the people, you know, like the population and whatnot.
It's about ninety thousand people that are ninety eight and
over that are receiving benefits. That's throughout the entire country.
(14:36):
Ninety thousand sounds like a not a lot but when
you divide it amongst the bazillions that we actually it's
not a lot of people. There are people that are
on the rolls, you know, just on the deck, like
Flame Monroe might be there, but you're not getting any money.
Your family's not getting the money. Your name just hasn't
been removed. They did an audit about three years ago
(14:58):
under Biden, and Biden was hoping to save some money.
And when they came back, I can't think of the gentleman.
His name it begins with an M. I believe. I
don't know if it's Martin O'Mally maybe that I know
that was one of the people talking about it. When
they came back to Biden. There wasn't any There wasn't
like two people that could remove people's names were on
(15:19):
the books, but they weren't actually receiving anything. So it's fault.
This is the stuff. They're throwing lies up and everybody's going, whoah,
you know, no, check it out, But let's pay attention
to putin. I don't really care about social Security. I
mean I care about social Security. We have to fix it,
and we have to fix Medicaid. There is waste that's
in Medicaid and it's not the payments. The payments are
(15:41):
the lowest payments that you will get. You know, if
you're a physician and you have a Medicaid panel like everybody's,
you can't survive, you can't pay enough. It is it's
a loss. You operated a loss with those payments. So
it's not there. But are there people that maybe shouldn't
be getting it. Maybe maybe they have to look at
you know, lifers that just don't We know a few
(16:02):
of them that just don't feel like they need to
go out and work.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Say it that way is on a Social Security and
I ain't got a chick could I'm just thinking, yeah,
I get it.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
We'll fix it before you know, because within the next
decade or so, we'll say because we're not we don't
want to be honest about our age. I want them
to fix it before we come out. But we you know,
when you've got every family that's paying into it now
people had three and four children and by the time
we get there, people were only having one and two children.
(16:37):
There aren't enough people that are paying into it to
get the benefits correct, So whether we have to bump
the age up a little, So maybe we don't get
it until we're seventy instead of sixty eight. You know, Okay,
that's all right, as long as we have our minds,
we can work the extra two years if it gives
us comfort, you know, from seventy and beyond. Like, there's
ways to fix things, but you just don't put somebody
(16:59):
in who doesn't have any of this experience and runs
his own bi like he ran a business. You know,
we can't be taking away from the weakest people. Flame,
we can't be taking away from medicaid. We can't be
taking away from SSI, from medicare. Those are the weakest
in the oldest people. That's not where you're going to
save your eight hundred and fifty million. And why are
(17:21):
we saving the eight hundred and fifty not million, trillion
or billion whatever it is billion to pay down the deficit,
which is what he was running on. That sounded great. No,
So that's the number that he has to come up
with so he doesn't lose his tax cuts that he
already put into place.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Wait a minute, billion, trillion, listen, I'll take any of
any of those adjectives speaking of billions. Since becoming the president,
Elon Musk has gone at about one hundred and eighty
billion every in the place of Mark Zuckerberg fifty billion.
I think Bezos maybe like forty eight or forty nine abilion.
(18:00):
These are the money they just made, says he has
become the president of the United States.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Because they have also, So that's something to look at
with all these contracts. He wants to cut contracts and
cut cut departments. He has opened departments of people that
weren't vetted, which is against the constitution. Everything is supposed
to go through Congress because they have the purse strings.
If they're taking salaries. I know Musk isn't and Trump
(18:25):
aren't taking the salaries, but their employees are. It's it's
supposed to go through that. I mean, it's not the
way to do it. Why aren't we looking at those contracts.
Do we need a bunch of his ugly armored trucks
for who? Who did that go? That went through through
Congress like it's supposed to. I don't believe so. So
it makes absolutely no sense. And then we have people
who are wonderful. The acting Commissioner of Social Security stepped
(18:49):
down because she didn't want people the Department of Government
Efficiency coming in and looking at our numbers and getting
reports of private information. She didn't feel that way that
it was correct. Well, I give her a lot of credit.
God lover, she's probably she knows her head's probably on
the chopping block anyway.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
And speaking of governors, Bobby, so you know that the
governor of New York, what's the female's governor name of
New York she took over after.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Oh, I have to look it up, do you know.
I'm looking at her. I can see her face.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
But she had a had a tax on coming in
from Jersey to New York.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Coco is it Hoko? I don't have it up, Kathy
or Catherine Hochel.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, there was the tax driving in uh from New
Jersey for nine dollars and then and there was fifteen dollars,
so she went up another nine dollars. I think it
was fifteen for the tunnel and nine if you watched
across a certain area above below sixth Street or something.
Donald Trump just souned and executive orditory move that, which
(19:50):
which stopped a lot of the congestion in New York City,
which will now bring it back in because you had
to be tax on that and it is all our
war because a lot of people who she was a
Trump supporter, who who just had a lot of faith
in believing what he was gonna do. He is just
doing what he wants to do, and he's not thinking
about the long term consequences of some of these people
(20:12):
that it will affect.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, they he was. He said something, Kathy Hochel is
a Democrat. I don't think she was a probably a
Trump supporter, but she might not be pushing back against him.
He said, God saved the King or something like that
or yeah. So yeah, I mean, if you're if you're
(20:37):
cutting back other moneys, and this is the way she
has to do it. Do I want to pay nine
dollars coming in and out? Absolutely not that I think
of all the Uber drivers and want not going back
and forth to the airport.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Well for those poor New Yorkers, because it's already exclusive
to has hell to live in New York City, and
that dolls sometimes can mean a meal for a family
or not, you know, not you can bound damnly a
loaf of rief. And now you damned Jill came back
in the league from that.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
But remember it's not just nine dollars. If you're going
out and you're coming back home, Like if you're going
to do an errand it's eighteen dollars to go back
and forth.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, Bobby, I never thought about
the back and forth. That's a round trip ticket if
you like you said, if you were leaving and coming back.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, if that's how it runs. I mean I heard
them mentioning it, but I didn't get into I didn't
get into all of that jazz. You know that it
can raise.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That is going to raise the congestion in the city,
even though it would be more business for people probably
make you know, to spend money, what have you. But
the traffic is out and people have terrible road rage.
Now people have the worst road rage everywhere because they're
frustrated with life.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, where do you have see is the Wagon Library
in California?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Oh, I have no one idea.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Bobby, because we had I didn't know if you go
to I got an alert yesterday that the JFK library
shut down because Trump did an executive order for the
all of the national parks, and of course the libraries
are all all under the National Parks. So JFK shut down.
They had to let five people go. The five people
(22:19):
that they let go. I guess they have twenty six
employees in total. Five of them had were let go.
Were there because they were in lost were the people
They're probably the young ones who know how to do
the zell and all that they were selling the tickets.
They were actually bringing money in because the group that's
left doesn't know how to do that. They're shutting down
and they're gonna they're obviously going to have to reopen.
(22:41):
They said that it will be free until they figure
up they get somebody trained and up to speed, because
they don't feel like, you know, you can shut down
something that's public like that, and they want people to
get education. And I thought that was kind of good.
But you're shutting down like he probably didn't even realize that,
you know. And I'm thinking he's probably gonna want to
lie bury. Someday your library is gonna somebody will shut
(23:02):
your library down.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I think he is just saying and stuff because that's
what he knows how to do. Is sand his name.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It's I will say, he has a nice signature. It's
always exactly the thing. I kind of dig it about him,
I kind of do. But he's not he's throwing too
much stuff. I feel like he's almost getting washed out.
He needs to figure out what's important to him and
kind of stick to that, because he's throwing a lot
(23:29):
of stuff against the wall. And where some people might
be excited, other people when they're Social Security, medicare medicated,
gets ruined. They're the farmers. These are all the mid
to mid to low income people, you know, usci D,
people who have food insecurities. When he irritates them enough,
(23:52):
over this next year when they really start losing stuff,
he's almost handing the midterm elections to us. Not that
I'm complaining, you know, over to the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Hell, the government workers are losing their jobs. These people
have been on there. Some of these people have on
their jobs. Oh my god, right, and they are losing
their jobs left and right, Bobby Clifford, because it's just
it's ridiculous, it is crazy. And yeah, some of these
employees actually voted for him. The sampire was he gave
them the option of buying out, and some of them
took the buyout and still were fired afterwards.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Well because the buyouts. So it's you've got to our
country is made up of rules. I don't know how
the framers and are founding fathers new enough to put
all of this stuff. The only thing they didn't put
in is you would assume that the president and that
the Supreme Court people would all be the best of
(24:48):
the best. So they didn't really put rules in for them,
but they put it in for everybody else. There is
a way that things are supposed to come through. So
he's promising these buyouts. He didn't run buy Congress, Like,
where's that money coming from? You know, you're supposed to
be cutting money, and maybe eventually it will cut money,
but it's not going to cut money over this next
(25:10):
year because you have to buy everybody out, you know,
so it doesn't. So it's he didn't go and he
didn't he didn't go through proper channels to get that approved.
And of course, you know, not everybody's on board with it.
So yeah, he's not doing things. He's not doing everything,
(25:32):
you know, correctly. Look at he's letting all those f
FAA people go. And now we've had the crashes, the crashes.
I don't think I had anything to do with the
FAA right now, but we were down air traffic control
people to start with, and now all of a sudden,
you want to get them down to bare bones. I
think you're going to have to look you know again,
I think you're.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Gonna have to well, if we're going to go down
that road, but we also have to look at that
they did a lot of cutbacks. They're booning, they did
a lot, they did a lot of no allegedly the
materials were different. And so I mean, if you've been
at your job, I'll be thirty years and here the
fresh out of college. I got a degree. You don't
have a degree, but you have the experience that I
(26:13):
would never know unless I work that job for at
least twenty of your thirty years. And you training me
to teach you because I'm going to be replacing you.
I'm not going to train as an O season employee.
I'm not going to train you to do my job
for me better than me. I'm going to show you
some things and some things I'm gonna make you learn
by example experience, or I'm not gonna teach you at
(26:35):
all because I'm gonna make myself inaccessible. That is what's happened.
And they told those they pre one of those people
told them they're going to lay them off. You can't.
You shouldn't tell people in advance we're gonna lay you
off in two much. You don't have to.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I'm right there right now where I work is they
have layoffs, and they're going to have layoffs next month.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Well it makes your mind you want to go and
dishovel some things that you know. I know you're not
like that, but bout it. But you're one person. Just
I don't believe that the people are boying had did
stuff like that. But you you if you pre wanted
me that you're laying me off, and I don't know
how long because you might be bringing in robots, so
(27:16):
AI what have you? Of course I'm gonna make it
to where you got to bring me back. Can't nobody
do this but me? It is scary to think that.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
No, I'm not. I'm such a rule follower. I can't.
That would bother me. I'd want to. I still feel
like my name is stamped on everything that I do,
and I want to be proud of the work that
I do, so I kind of live under that model.
But I know what you're saying. When you do get
laid off, they do you do walk you too the
door in most places because they don't want you to
get to you know, take a chance to do anything
(27:47):
that would that would ruin the computer system or whatever.
So I get it.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I thought room temperature, that's a joke. That's a joke. Look. Uh,
as far as d Linsky goes, I watched the Linusy
speak once I get to my hotel room, and uh,
he seems heartbroken that they are trying to come out
of this meeting because he knows that there's an underplay,
(28:18):
overplay for the underplay, and he's not part of the
meeting to know what they're going to do. I don't
like the way it played out, and then they publicly
need it like they were trying to humiliate him. It
is by Bobby. All of this will play out in
the public in front of us. Unfortunately, some of us
will possibly be collateral damage. But what we're thinking, or
(28:38):
what you're thinking, is probably what really is happening. The
question is what we're going to do about it as
a country, what because it looks like we just taking
in lyning down.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Things like this. You've seen there have been protests everywhere.
There will protest here in Boston. Federal employee ploth protests
that they've been all over in the three weeks that
he's spent here. And I think we've talked about like
you know, the little boy crying wolf. It's going to
water down our message. There are things to die on
(29:09):
the hill floor, and I feel that this is one
that they have the protest. They are ally, they have
been our best ally. They have kept the war over there,
just like Israel has and for the Middle East, and
they keep it there and protect us and give us information.
That's why we pay them. When people get all angry,
(29:29):
there's a reason everything with foreign policy, and I'm not
great at and foreign politics, it is so intertwined. If
you don't do a little something here, like not giving
foreign aid to poor countries, there's a step down.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Then.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You know, if we keep these people happy in their
own countries, then they're not all trying to come here.
You know, when they have enough food and enough medicine
and they can live our respectable life, then they're not
rushing off to the United States trying to come acros us.
Our borders are there? Are they no? So? You know,
(30:05):
as you say, overplay for the underplay, everything is so
like a ball. I feel terrible for zillin Sky. I
think they are totally trying to make him look like
a jackass. Uh, And how does he report back to
his people? He looks weak. Now they're saying because they
didn't have they haven't had an election. I thought they
were up to it. Trump is now saying I just
(30:27):
heard him on a news conference saying that, well, you know,
if you want to come to the table, you know,
you have to be voted in by the people. He
was voted in by the people. No one ever questioned
that election, Donald, So we just that's the stuff we
have to This is an important thing to pay attention
to the Gulf of America and let that go. The
(30:52):
fact that the CIA has all sorts of drones. Is
anybody paying attention for the drug cartels? We had the
drones under He just didn't tell us about it, you know,
when everybody was complaining about the drones, and he kept saying,
don't worry about it. They're all set. They've been vetted.
That's why they were. You know, they're looking for fentanyl.
They're looking for and now Trump has added some and
(31:14):
people are well, they've been around all the time. People,
let's not pay attention to the drones, pay attention to
which actually, you know what's out there that's that's going
to kill us. And I think this war, in the
war in Israel are things that we really need to
pay attention to what's happening.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Because we were promised by the sitting president before he
became the sitting president that as soon as he got
he could stop the war, he could stop the war.
They won, they one, we passed, they won three weeks ago.
They won. There came day, two day, twelve, day, fifteen.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
And it's because it's the same thing. It is so complicated,
especially like the Israeli war. It's so complicated. There are hundreds,
probably thousands of years of history. These are you know,
two people's coming together for religious reasons and whatever. It's
not easy. You're not gonna make a parson. And then
you go in and your big solution for that is
(32:11):
to make it the Middle East rivieria, Like who are
you missed to, Billy big balls, it's not your country.
You're going to go in and just and we need
to take financially, we need to take that on where
they put in the rubble like that's a mess. Like
you know, if we have to fund some of it
to get these poor people homes. Okay, and then you're
telling other countries Syria, Egypt, and there was a third
(32:35):
one that I'm blanking on that they're going to take
all the whole population. Who's who's affording that they don't
come in with skills. These people don't really work because
there's there's no there's nothing that comes out of Gaza.
God bless them, not that they wouldn't want to.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
You know, then, I have not heard one thing you
said since Billy Big Bows O God al and don't
think we can make a conversial ring Oh my god,
Billy big Balls. I'm gonna have to borrow that one.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Oh my God. Speaking of Billy big Balls, I will
say that he signed an executive order that he wants
to expand IVF. He puts he put a task group
onto it so to make it more affordable and more
transparent for people to have babies. And I will say that's,
you know, I'm kind of all with that. I think
that's it's really expensive for some people, and our population
(33:30):
is going down, so you know, it's not a bad thing.
But but yeah, God bless them well.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
With Elon Musk getting up into those and getting up
into social Security. That was all it, Bobby. You know
they say they run scams on the internet, nobody's going
to know who to trust what. But now all of
our information is up in the wing. Like you said earlier,
when you're talking, it's in the clouds. All of ourself
is in the clouds. So people can go up in
your account and just right feel from you, borrow from you,
(34:01):
take from you whatever.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I don't have twelve dollars and fifty cents, they'd probably
come and slip my throat in the night because I would.
I would have been a waste of time for them.
I got nothing. I have nothing. I owe everybody, and
I'll owe everybody. I get all that student loan dead.
Also it's a credit card to come and take mine.
But for people who actually have done things the right
way and haven't screwed up in life, I feel badly
(34:23):
for them. Did you see that Hamas is finally? This
kind of touched my heart, But I feel so badly
for the man he's finally they're finally releasing four bodies
that they've been holding. Those two babies at nine month
old and four year old, and the mom they were
killed in an airstrike so that husband will finally get
(34:44):
his family back and be able to bury them. They
released three hostages over the weekend, one American, one Russian
one what was the other one? All is really you know,
like they were both they had dual citizenship, but that
was kind of nice. I can't wait to see that
because that come to an end. That's I'm over all.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
The wars, Bobby Thiston. You know, that's one of my things.
I always say, I hate wars because war is just
unnecessary death for so many innocent people. But we are
we're hoping that we don't go into a war, Bobby.
This is this is very scary. Uh. And I'm seeing
all the protests all over I've been seeing people from
(35:27):
the trans community making major protests because he's trying to
you know, he's well, he's removed the tea from the
website on the White House, but now they're trying to
remove the ta from Stonewall from nineteen sixty nine for
Sylvia Guerrera and h ooh, what's the name. What's the name,
Bobby God, I can't remember this woman's name who kicked
(35:52):
off Stonewall, Marsha P. Johnson, which is just it's just
it's like they're trying to erase things that they don't
want to be reminded of, where they don't want to see.
They just it's easier to erase it for.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Them because they don't understand that it's ignorance. Yeah, that's
all that. All of that is. It's it's just people
that have never come up across an LGBT person in
their in their life, so they don't know I'm scared
of them. They probably think you're you all are recruiting
(36:25):
and they're they're nervous that you know, they might get
left behind and they won't be asked. But that it's
just ignorance.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I'm about to recruit some chicken. If you don't leave
me alone, listen, we don't know what is going to happen.
I see the target loss. According to statistics of the
News Media, Target has about fifteen point seven billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Since I have a shop there.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Has taken office because of the d aerobics. I want
to allow my kids to shout. They read the Bible.
I'm standing with.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
That's the stuff we have to pay attention to. Somebody
sent me something and it was really fascinating. It was
all of the companies that have either given to the
Republicans given to to roll back DEI. And it was
a third thing. And I said, you know what, I'm
not paying attention to who who gave to the Republicans
any longer. I don't care. If I was wealthy and
(37:23):
I wanted to give to somebody, to a Democratic you know,
I had a big store or whatever. I'm Martha Stewett,
and I wanted to give to the republic to the Democrats.
Nobody should be able to tell you who. But if
you're rolling about DEI, if you're you know, if you're
doing things that are harmful or setting people behind, that's
that those are the stores I'm going to pay attention to, yea,
(37:44):
because it's not Look at all the all of the
companies that we came across the other day that that
has still had DEI. It didn't take a whole lot,
They just left it in place. I know it costs
more money. Well, he's threatening people too. I mean, he
was telling schools that they either they're they're gonna he's
(38:06):
gonna cut the federal funding that they receive, and the
federal funding guys. So when people have their They're up
in arms over the Department of Education. They make no
decisions the Department of Education about how your kid is educated.
They give them student loans, they fund I e p s.
There'll be no more I e p pece, especially probably
(38:28):
for federally funded for the states that don't have a
lot of money. I'm sure that my state in your
state will pick it up. The state will figure out
how to fund the d the I e p s.
It's they're making some of these these departments seem like
(38:48):
they're crazy, you know, like they're they're too much, but
they're not. So you're gonna get rid of more and
more of these organizations that are actually helping people. Uh
you know, I I don't. It's it's in your You're
getting us all caught up in court. Like I'm sick
of that. We're gonna in three to six months flame
we're gonna sit and watch all TV will be is
(39:11):
each case in court, just like when Trump was going
through it, and like everything will be tied up and
we'll be watching that. I'm not down with it. And
now RFK got in and all of a sudden we
have this huge it's nothing to do it's just coincidental.
We have this huge outbreak of measles in West Texas
(39:32):
and why they probably half of them vaccinated. I wonder
they could be. They could be immigrants or migrants. But
measles is being new. Like when we were a little kid,
people got set, you could be blind and get like
a horrible encephalitis. There were all sorts of terrible things
that happened with measles. Measles are no joke.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
FK JR. He's about them back vaccines. I don't agree
with some of his stuff. He's there's a lot of it.
For some stuff, I understand. I'm not gonna say I
agree with it, but I can see his different perspective,
his point of view with some stuff. But some stuff
he just seems to be extreme, an extremist with and
about it.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
When you're making your a baby bear a cruditae board
on your way to the airport and you're.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Assuming we're talking about that part, we know that's crazy.
I'm talking about with the medical stuff, and I don't
believe that. I can't believe that they allow him to
get past to be put in that position to have
because you feel, because you feel a certain way and
you got brain worms that might be impairing. How you
completely think you know around.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
That's that was a good decision. That's not working for you.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
But you have control over what we will do as
a nation because you're in that position. We were supposed
to look to our leaders to listen to. Yeah, I'm
not down with that either, Bob, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
I don't mind him wanting to do See a lot
of this work has already been done, you know, like
talking about certain vaccinations, talking about certain proceipits. The work's
been done. We already have it in the library, so
to speak. So for new stuff. You know what I
would love to see RFK do that I haven't heard.
I was hoping that President Biden's administration would do it
(41:17):
and they didn't. I would love him to do a
post COVID, a post mortem on COVID and how we
handled it, you know, the vaccination, how it was it
successful in the end. Like I'd love to see what
we could learn because from past administrations people who are
speaking now, we are rife for another another pandemic to
(41:41):
come down, and I would like to think we actually
learned something lost time and you know, we can handle
it better moving forward. You know, we didn't need to
put everybody into we did in the beginning into quarantine.
But the schools is long. But we didn't know that
at the time. So what did we learn? What are
the key things like, you know whatever. That's what I'd
(42:02):
like him to do.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
He would be the one to speak on that because he.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
He could direct that. He could get the team together,
you know, get all the whatever together.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Believe in the next thing. He never took it. Yeah, yeah,
he's just in that position because he had that title.
But I don't know if he would be this person
to speak about it because he never took it. Like me,
I wouldn't be the person to speak about it because
I never take it.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Well, I don't want to hear him say it. I
wouldn't want to hear you say it or me. I
did take it, and I don't want me. But I
would like him to get all of the the experts,
the subject matter experts together, have them all come together
with their information, including Fauci and that lady that was
laughing behind him, that with the with the scarf, the
blond lady. My god, I'm blanket on her name. Yeah,
(42:49):
they have them all get together. What were their thoughts,
what did they see? Fauci said, it was like a
moving target. What he thought in the beginning was nothing
that he thought at the end. So put all that
information down and sort of do a playbook like Obama
thought there was a playbook. Well, we this pandemic was
much worse. We need to updake the playbook. It's a
(43:10):
new season. Yeah, for some tough times. I think I've
already said it to you. We've had you have to
tear things down sometimes before you can actually fix them.
Maybe people actually have to see flame that he's full
of baloney, you know, like everything that he said or
(43:34):
I think I think generic, I think like Stop and
Shop brand. I think he's full of it. And I
think they need to see, they need to feel it,
because you know, he says everything is great, right, you know,
this is great, that is great. You know, Zelenski is
a dictator. They've saved a million dollars already, or a
bazillion dollars on social security. None of that's true. But
(43:56):
actually see it. Don't get your social Security check. Let
yourself so security check be twenty five percent light. Let
them stop funding medicaid again. I think my state will
because medicaid was always set up to be to be
a partnership the federal and the state to pay it.
My state will figure it out. It's funny, the blue
(44:19):
states tend to be the ones that do better. The
red states are the poorer states. So I'm not worried
about your state, in my state, or New York or Connecticut,
you know, all the states that fund and supplement everybody else,
because we'll we won't maybe we won't be able to
supplement any more flame, but we'll get our people will
be taken care of. I'm worried about the Kentucky's, the Montanas,
(44:42):
the you know, all the people that get supplemented. A
little bit. I'm a little bit worried about them.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
So hit slogan, what's make America great again for wealthy
people only?
Speaker 2 (44:54):
And that's the and so that's what he's He's worried
about getting these tax taxes cuts funded. I told you,
I think for me, it was only eleven dollars a
week that I noticed. I would happily something else that
came out. Somebody pushed him. I don't know who it
is about the Moneys that he was going to save
(45:15):
because you know, of course he's saying, now it's going
to be two trillion dollars or something, and said, well,
why doesn't some of that money go back to the people.
And I'll be honest, I don't want the money. It
will be five thousand dollars a family. I don't want
the money, Flame. I want the money to put it
into social Security. And one of the things that you
want to cut, well, how about this, don't cut it.
First of all, he's he has set the bar so high.
(45:38):
He's trying to save eight hundred and fifty billion. He
has to save like one trillion in order to pay
us back. It's almost like you're never going to get there.
Do You're not like he's never going to get there,
but he's setting himself up because you know, you know this,
people will voting for a Flame why because of that
ged stimulus check, that twelve hundred box. So whatever it
(46:00):
is that we I kind of even remember five years
ago that we got that. People love the idea of
the money. So now you're going to dangle five thousand dollars,
it might as well be one hundred thousand dollars because
you're never going to get there. In front of people
and then all of a sudden, you're not going to
be able to deliver. He's so far from being able
to deliver, but he just keeps throwing the stuff against
the wall.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Well, we just want you guys to understand that the
making great, make America great again for the very rich
people are very different from the MAGA people. They under
the same brother with those are two different entities because
the MAGA people ran for something else. The make America
great again only for the super wealthy people are very
different and creatures, y'all. And I didn't explain that correctly.
(46:44):
But if you sit down and think about it, you
know what the hell I'm talking about. The mega people
are the ones that about to lose everything to make
America great. For the super wealthy, I'm prospering like you
wouldn't believe, right.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
And that's the truth. And it's more and more. Cuomo
again was saying yesterday he was trying to explain it
to a caller and he said, listen, people like me,
the top five percent, I'm gonna I'm saving all sorts
of money, he said. But the rest of the country,
you know, the lower we're not, he says, And I
don't mind paying my fair share, you know, so to
(47:20):
make up some of the holes that that we have
right now. It's tough.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
And people out there and left in land Land. Y'all.
Notice how Bobby always references Chris Cuomo. It's not like
he believes everything that he said. She's just like looking.
She's just like looking at the place that it comes from.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
He's cute, you know why. I like them. So I'm
a libra. I like fairness. I don't like everything. I
thought he was hard at times on Biden because I
liked Biden, but he was correct. But I like fairness.
I don't like people that like talk out of two
sides of their mouth, and so that's why I sort
of I like News Nation. It's not I find Fox
to be the far crazy right. I find MSNBC. Though
(48:03):
they're more respectful and they don't give you bad information,
I feel they slant it more to the far left.
I find CNN is a little bit more in the middle,
but still a little on the left. And I find
that News Nation is literally right in the middle.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
So if you you want to hear good bat or otherwise,
he Chris has I know his show now Elizabeth Vargas
is on, and because Abrams left, he's sort of they're
they're fair and they will have people of both sides.
So whenever Chris or Elizabeth has a Democrat on, they
(48:39):
have equal Like we were talking at the at the
top of the show, he had two different people. He
had the Republican and and they kind of go and
the republic and the Democrat, they kind of go head
to head or each give their own they each give
their own take on it, if you know what that
I and I'm hoping we get past this. So people
(49:01):
that were so sort of disgusted with some of the
things of his own side, the gops who were a
little disgusted with some of the stuff January sixth, et cetera,
et cetera, that Trump was doing, they tap dance. Now,
So Chris Colo had a Republican and a Democrat on,
and he was talking about just breaking down what we were
(49:24):
just talking about, the savings of the eight e fIF billion,
what exactly what it was for. So Chris said, you know,
just so we're everybody, all three of us were on
the same page. It is not for to pay down
the deficit, not at all. It is to save his
text cuts that he did the last time. So the
Democrat kind of spoke, and then the Republican came on
(49:47):
and this is the type of I'm so sick of
here in this shit in plain English, and he says, well,
he says the economy wasn't bad at the end of
the Biden narrow because of Donald Truntz Trump's tax cuts.
He benefited from it. And Chris is looking at them like,
are you not that's not even that wasn't the question,
(50:08):
And no, that wasn't actually what happened with But I'm
so sick of everybody tap dancing for him. It doesn't
answer the question. You know, you ask a specific question.
I don't even know what they're saying half the time.
Speaker 3 (50:24):
That's how we get out of there, evade the questions.
That's what he did. So do we already seen in
the Secret Bible? We talked about it. You have to
put it wrong for four year olds because they will
expose him for who he is.
Speaker 2 (50:36):
Oh, that's all I'm going to say on that.
Speaker 3 (50:38):

I'm here with my cost She's not actually here though.
How you tested with Bobby Clifford? How you tested?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm freezing by as five degrees in Kansas City, and
it's a.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Differ and if you get that wind, that's a different
kind of cold.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yes, I'm just looking forward to the whatever hurricane neverhood

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, I don't blame you. It's getting on all of
my nurves.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
How was your weak body?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It was okay, it was okay. It's been super cold
here and super icy, you know, which is you know, never,
a never, never, a great combination. But but we're getting
through it.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
We're praying to everybody over on that East coast. Bobby's
in Boston, y'all just got hit with something. But I
don't know. It's cold around the country. I am in Kansas, wet.
I started to tour today with Tiffany Hattish. Our first
show is tomorrow and we're in Mayota, may Reda, Kansas
at the and it's cold here and this place is
(02:57):
far from the airport, so it was like a road
t to get here. But everybody here has been so pleasant.
See y'all go to Tiffany Hanni's dot comp tickets. Other
than that, I'm all in the blocks for something that
happened months ago when they just reshared it. I will
not comment on it because it's unimportant to me. But
what I will comment on is I was on the
plane today, Bobby, right, and I was already my anxiety
(03:20):
was very high because this is the first time I've
flown this year with all the debacle that's been happening
with you. As soon as we land, we see that
there was an accident in Arizona where two people were killed.
But I was on the plane my anxiety was h
So when they shut the door and I closed put
my mask all the way on, Bobby go, I just
closed my eyes. Was like, oh my god, if this
is it, this is it because you just it's so iffy.
(03:43):
Now it's always a game of chance, but right now,
lately it's just been a lot. I don't know what
that is all about, but it terrified me, Bobby. And
remind you, I got to fly twenty six days with Tiffany.
That's fifty two flights, not counting layovers.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You're going to be fine.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It is.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It is not that I'm taking away your because I
am a very bad flyer and I just had to
fly home from Florida after the the Washington debacle.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But there's like one It's it's like getting hip twice
by lightning. They said, it's one one in every eleven
million flights that goes off. You're going to be fine,
You're going to be fine. It is it is nerve wrecking.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Though that might have been, that might have been last year.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But this year, yeah, he just said it, just said yesterday.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
But this year, Oh my god, Jesus, there's been so
many accidents. But I'm glad to be here. Oh, you
know what I want. I want to start with. Oh,
I know what I want to start with. And all
the two days that we get mostly in red states,
by the way, we're in the red state, and I
truly want to ask the audience y'all still happy with
your decisions, because some people are not very pleased with
(04:57):
the way that their president that they and voted for
some of the things that he's doing, by way, they
are not pleased with. They are a little upset. Starting
with those farmers. They are little throat that a lot
of them may lose their situation, They may lose their livelihoods,
they may lose their generational family farms and the business,
(05:18):
which is all they knew. And I'm not laughing at
them or laughing for them, because you knew you did
not listen to what he was saying. The only promise
is that he will keep will be the revenge promises.
But those people believed in him, and I want to
say that they were bamboozled, but he kind of like
told them and they still voted for him. That's the
(05:41):
part that I don't get there.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He came right out, he spent he ran his whole
platform on it was a revenge tour. I mean, he
just came out and told everybody. So he's not lying.
He came out and he told you. The fact that
you're shocked, I'm not shocked. I'm every time he does
something more outrageous because I do believe half of it
as half of it is he's just throwing, you know,
(06:05):
shit against the wall and seeing what sticks. And he's
just trying to distract us from what's actually not not
paying attention. And something that the Democrats really have to
do is we've already spoken about get a mission, look
at what's actually important, like the Gulf of America. I
could give a rats ass whatever. When the next president's in,
he's going to turn it around and call it what
(06:26):
it's going to be, you know, And the President of Mexico.
Shinebomb's already she's suing Google over it for making the change.
So let her let that be her her stand that
she wants to she wants the hills, she wants to
die on. But I get nervous over the the war
(06:48):
that's going to stop. That that Houten, the dictator and
Trump are going to stop stop for Ukraine and they're
not inviting him and uh and now because use he
started saying things that weren't true, like Zelensky, He's alluding
that Delenzy started it and should have made a deal,
(07:10):
when all Zolensky did was protect his people like a patriot.
He said that Trump lives in disinformation. And now Trump
is coming out like a four year olds or a
fourth grader. I'll upgrade him on the elementary school block.
And now he's calling him a dictator, one of the
(07:31):
most non dictatory people who wants democracy for his people.
So it is so disturbing. That's what we need to
pay attention to because if he and Putin start thinking
the two of them can make all sorts of decisions
for the West. You don't think that she and Kim
(07:51):
Jong un aren't going to get together and say all right,
we'll make decisions over here, for that's not the way
it goes, you know. And when they stop pulling out
a NATO and watering, then that's the stuff we need
to pay attention. That's the hell that we need to
die on.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I think that you said the most prolific thing by
me when you said a four year old. We watched it.
So now that is the key to the That is
the puzzle piece. So if you guys, he has shoushed disrespectfully, reporters,
heads of states, congressmen, senators, their wives, anybody, but the
(08:27):
four year old Elon Munk's son shoushed him. So the
secret to putting Trump in his place is to put
him in a room with a bunch of privileged There
can't be a three reverend four year olds. They have
to be privileged for you better than Yeah. It will
shut him down because they all have the same like you.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Right. Well, he's so afraid he well we talked about
that last week when that kid told him to shut
the f up and when he was picking his nose
and hanging like on him. My god, I was so schemed.
And and mosque bleusses hot wasn't paying any attention. I thought,
I thought that you know whether.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
But nothing you are. But you know, you know why
that was so disrespectful for him picking his nose and
hanging out with Trump, because it is the public record
that Donald Trump is a known germaphobe.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh you know what, I'm well, I'm a little bit
of a germaphone. It's one thing when it's your own kids,
you'll take any of their whatever comes out of every orifice,
and you deal with it. It's because it's your own kid,
and you will do it for your friends or your
nieces and nephews, and you're a little schewed. But they're family,
you know, by extension, and you'll do But a stranger
(09:40):
I would be gagging. I would have been like you,
he ended him a tissue. Here to the father take
care of him.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I would have pinched the shit out there, boy, like
my grandmother used to get me in church, I got
the bon. You would have got that good little pitch
on the arm.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
My mother used to make a fast and then hold
it down by her side, so if we were sitting
in the pew in church, like nobody could see her
but but us, and she would give us the union.
You got the look. And then one time I don't
know why she did it to Teresa. Teresa was being naughty,
being loud or whatever, because Teresa would just talk right out. Well,
(10:18):
she walked in, you know, and she says, oh my god, Mom,
it's the preci you hate. Are we still coming in?
And so my mother was dying. Of course she had
to go in and it was appreciated. So that my
mother's given her the fist. Well that's what we used
to call it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Her.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
She goes here, you get obsessed me and you're gonna
abuse me with that fist movement. Everybody's looking at the
mean woman that stads beating the special needs girl. So
that time it got her. She she kind of laid
off with the fists after that, but we were still
terrified of her.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Put it put him in the room with a bunch
of four year olds, and I can tell yourself that is.
And then I'm on the playing today, Bobby, and tell
me I'm wrong now, because you know how they had
the little little titled things they go across at the
Bible him of the news, and so I'm talking to
the lady next to me, and I'm partially reading it,
but I cut the tail end of He accused Zolensky of,
(11:08):
like you said, of being a dictator, and then accused
Dylynsky of starting this war. Yeah, when the when Russia
has invaded their country, Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, he's trying to re well. He is sidled up
to Putin. We know he is always he's being played
like a fiddle by Putin, and he's criticizing everybody else
of the same thing happening with everybody else. He said
that Biden, Zelensky paid, played Biden like a fiddle, and
(11:37):
that wasn't the case. Biden saw what was happening. He
acted with full full support until Trump got involved, and
even even after Trump got involved, still full support of
Congress to help them. And he Trump keeps telling people
(11:57):
how much money we gave. It should have been loan.
We didn't give money like people are actually thinking there
was a check written and we hand it over money. No,
we gave weapons and ammunition. And where were the weapons
and ammunition built flame here in the United States? So
we we did give them, but we were employing people,
were they were paying taxes back in that's the employees,
(12:21):
not Zelenski, but now he's trying to he's trying to
even rewrite that and trying to get it back like
it's alone. And Len's is like, what are you doing?
This is so backwards. You don't do that on money
that's already been given. It's one thing if money going forward.
But yeah, I don't. I'm so disappointed. And that's the best.
(12:43):
I'm not shocked by anything that happens, but I am
so disappointed.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Need to be uncovered, Bobby. I just think it's it
is just the way that they are doing it, Like
with with Monsk going up in Social Security from what
from the documentation that they have put out, they get
people with three hundred and something years old gets social
Security kicks.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
It's a lot. It's all lies. I mean, they've already
proven it. So first off, he said, so social Security.
Elon Musk came out and he said it's the biggest
fraud in history. Now, so here's the thing. When we've
talked about this too before over the past few episodes,
I think Reagan, Clinton, and Obama all ran on cutting waste.
(13:28):
None of them were able to really cut enough because
it's it actually costs money. To save money, you have
to get people that go into each one of these
different organizations see how they run, like know it like
you know, like a fifty year old fifty year employee,
see where the fat is and then cut the fat.
That way, you just don't eliminate either the organization or
(13:50):
you don't know which employees are the most essential employees.
They found that out with the nuclear weapons people, right,
he let all a whole bunch of them go and
then all of a sudden finds we find out, oh no,
we actually need them if we want to have some
sort of security. So it's the way they're doing it
is not right. I love the idea of savings, but
not doing it. So he's saying that there is millions,
(14:14):
millions of people that are getting Social Security. Chris Kwalmon,
I can't think of the organization. I was watching it
late at night last night, and I didn't write it down.
That did an audit that have has access to the
records of the people, you know, like the population and whatnot.
It's about ninety thousand people that are ninety eight and
over that are receiving benefits. That's throughout the entire country.
(14:36):
Ninety thousand sounds like a not a lot but when
you divide it amongst the bazillions that we actually it's
not a lot of people. There are people that are
on the rolls, you know, just on the deck, like
Flame Monroe might be there, but you're not getting any money.
Your family's not getting the money. Your name just hasn't
been removed. They did an audit about three years ago
(14:58):
under Biden, and Biden was hoping to save some money.
And when they came back, I can't think of the gentleman.
His name it begins with an M. I believe. I
don't know if it's Martin O'Mally maybe that I know
that was one of the people talking about it. When
they came back to Biden. There wasn't any There wasn't
like two people that could remove people's names were on
(15:19):
the books, but they weren't actually receiving anything. So it's fault.
This is the stuff. They're throwing lies up and everybody's going, whoah,
you know, no, check it out, But let's pay attention
to putin. I don't really care about social Security. I
mean I care about social Security. We have to fix it,
and we have to fix Medicaid. There is waste that's
in Medicaid and it's not the payments. The payments are
(15:41):
the lowest payments that you will get. You know, if
you're a physician and you have a Medicaid panel like everybody's,
you can't survive, you can't pay enough. It is it's
a loss. You operated a loss with those payments. So
it's not there. But are there people that maybe shouldn't
be getting it. Maybe maybe they have to look at
you know, lifers that just don't We know a few
(16:02):
of them that just don't feel like they need to
go out and work.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Say it that way is on a Social Security and
I ain't got a chick could I'm just thinking, yeah,
I get it.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
We'll fix it before you know, because within the next
decade or so, we'll say because we're not we don't
want to be honest about our age. I want them
to fix it before we come out. But we you know,
when you've got every family that's paying into it now
people had three and four children and by the time
we get there, people were only having one and two children.
(16:37):
There aren't enough people that are paying into it to
get the benefits correct, So whether we have to bump
the age up a little, So maybe we don't get
it until we're seventy instead of sixty eight. You know, Okay,
that's all right, as long as we have our minds,
we can work the extra two years if it gives
us comfort, you know, from seventy and beyond. Like, there's
ways to fix things, but you just don't put somebody
(16:59):
in who doesn't have any of this experience and runs
his own bi like he ran a business. You know,
we can't be taking away from the weakest people. Flame,
we can't be taking away from medicaid. We can't be
taking away from SSI, from medicare. Those are the weakest
in the oldest people. That's not where you're going to
save your eight hundred and fifty million. And why are
(17:21):
we saving the eight hundred and fifty not million, trillion
or billion whatever it is billion to pay down the deficit,
which is what he was running on. That sounded great. No,
So that's the number that he has to come up
with so he doesn't lose his tax cuts that he
already put into place.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Wait a minute, billion, trillion, listen, I'll take any of
any of those adjectives speaking of billions. Since becoming the president,
Elon Musk has gone at about one hundred and eighty
billion every in the place of Mark Zuckerberg fifty billion.
I think Bezos maybe like forty eight or forty nine abilion.
(18:00):
These are the money they just made, says he has
become the president of the United States.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Because they have also, So that's something to look at
with all these contracts. He wants to cut contracts and
cut cut departments. He has opened departments of people that
weren't vetted, which is against the constitution. Everything is supposed
to go through Congress because they have the purse strings.
If they're taking salaries. I know Musk isn't and Trump
(18:25):
aren't taking the salaries, but their employees are. It's it's
supposed to go through that. I mean, it's not the
way to do it. Why aren't we looking at those contracts.
Do we need a bunch of his ugly armored trucks
for who? Who did that go? That went through through
Congress like it's supposed to. I don't believe so. So
it makes absolutely no sense. And then we have people
who are wonderful. The acting Commissioner of Social Security stepped
(18:49):
down because she didn't want people the Department of Government
Efficiency coming in and looking at our numbers and getting
reports of private information. She didn't feel that way that
it was correct. Well, I give her a lot of credit.
God lover, she's probably she knows her head's probably on
the chopping block anyway.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
And speaking of governors, Bobby, so you know that the
governor of New York, what's the female's governor name of
New York she took over after.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Oh, I have to look it up, do you know.
I'm looking at her. I can see her face.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
But she had a had a tax on coming in
from Jersey to New York.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Coco is it Hoko? I don't have it up, Kathy
or Catherine Hochel.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, there was the tax driving in uh from New
Jersey for nine dollars and then and there was fifteen dollars,
so she went up another nine dollars. I think it
was fifteen for the tunnel and nine if you watched
across a certain area above below sixth Street or something.
Donald Trump just souned and executive orditory move that, which
(19:50):
which stopped a lot of the congestion in New York City,
which will now bring it back in because you had
to be tax on that and it is all our
war because a lot of people who she was a
Trump supporter, who who just had a lot of faith
in believing what he was gonna do. He is just
doing what he wants to do, and he's not thinking
about the long term consequences of some of these people
(20:12):
that it will affect.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, they he was. He said something, Kathy Hochel is
a Democrat. I don't think she was a probably a
Trump supporter, but she might not be pushing back against him.
He said, God saved the King or something like that
or yeah. So yeah, I mean, if you're if you're
(20:37):
cutting back other moneys, and this is the way she
has to do it. Do I want to pay nine
dollars coming in and out? Absolutely not that I think
of all the Uber drivers and want not going back
and forth to the airport.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Well for those poor New Yorkers, because it's already exclusive
to has hell to live in New York City, and
that dolls sometimes can mean a meal for a family
or not, you know, not you can bound damnly a
loaf of rief. And now you damned Jill came back
in the league from that.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
But remember it's not just nine dollars. If you're going
out and you're coming back home, Like if you're going
to do an errand it's eighteen dollars to go back
and forth.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, Bobby, I never thought about
the back and forth. That's a round trip ticket if
you like you said, if you were leaving and coming back.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, if that's how it runs. I mean I heard
them mentioning it, but I didn't get into I didn't
get into all of that jazz. You know that it
can raise.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That is going to raise the congestion in the city,
even though it would be more business for people probably
make you know, to spend money, what have you. But
the traffic is out and people have terrible road rage.
Now people have the worst road rage everywhere because they're
frustrated with life.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, where do you have see is the Wagon Library
in California?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Oh, I have no one idea.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Bobby, because we had I didn't know if you go
to I got an alert yesterday that the JFK library
shut down because Trump did an executive order for the
all of the national parks, and of course the libraries
are all all under the National Parks. So JFK shut down.
They had to let five people go. The five people
(22:19):
that they let go. I guess they have twenty six
employees in total. Five of them had were let go.
Were there because they were in lost were the people
They're probably the young ones who know how to do
the zell and all that they were selling the tickets.
They were actually bringing money in because the group that's
left doesn't know how to do that. They're shutting down
and they're gonna they're obviously going to have to reopen.
(22:41):
They said that it will be free until they figure
up they get somebody trained and up to speed, because
they don't feel like, you know, you can shut down
something that's public like that, and they want people to
get education. And I thought that was kind of good.
But you're shutting down like he probably didn't even realize that,
you know. And I'm thinking he's probably gonna want to
lie bury. Someday your library is gonna somebody will shut
(23:02):
your library down.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I think he is just saying and stuff because that's
what he knows how to do. Is sand his name.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It's I will say, he has a nice signature. It's
always exactly the thing. I kind of dig it about him,
I kind of do. But he's not he's throwing too
much stuff. I feel like he's almost getting washed out.
He needs to figure out what's important to him and
kind of stick to that, because he's throwing a lot
(23:29):
of stuff against the wall. And where some people might
be excited, other people when they're Social Security, medicare medicated,
gets ruined. They're the farmers. These are all the mid
to mid to low income people, you know, usci D,
people who have food insecurities. When he irritates them enough,
(23:52):
over this next year when they really start losing stuff,
he's almost handing the midterm elections to us. Not that
I'm complaining, you know, over to the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Hell, the government workers are losing their jobs. These people
have been on there. Some of these people have on
their jobs. Oh my god, right, and they are losing
their jobs left and right, Bobby Clifford, because it's just
it's ridiculous, it is crazy. And yeah, some of these
employees actually voted for him. The sampire was he gave
them the option of buying out, and some of them
took the buyout and still were fired afterwards.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Well because the buyouts. So it's you've got to our
country is made up of rules. I don't know how
the framers and are founding fathers new enough to put
all of this stuff. The only thing they didn't put
in is you would assume that the president and that
the Supreme Court people would all be the best of
(24:48):
the best. So they didn't really put rules in for them,
but they put it in for everybody else. There is
a way that things are supposed to come through. So
he's promising these buyouts. He didn't run buy Congress, Like,
where's that money coming from? You know, you're supposed to
be cutting money, and maybe eventually it will cut money,
but it's not going to cut money over this next
(25:10):
year because you have to buy everybody out, you know,
so it doesn't. So it's he didn't go and he
didn't he didn't go through proper channels to get that approved.
And of course, you know, not everybody's on board with it.
So yeah, he's not doing things. He's not doing everything,
(25:32):
you know, correctly. Look at he's letting all those f
FAA people go. And now we've had the crashes, the crashes.
I don't think I had anything to do with the
FAA right now, but we were down air traffic control
people to start with, and now all of a sudden,
you want to get them down to bare bones. I
think you're going to have to look you know again,
I think you're.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Gonna have to well, if we're going to go down
that road, but we also have to look at that
they did a lot of cutbacks. They're booning, they did
a lot, they did a lot of no allegedly the
materials were different. And so I mean, if you've been
at your job, I'll be thirty years and here the
fresh out of college. I got a degree. You don't
have a degree, but you have the experience that I
(26:13):
would never know unless I work that job for at
least twenty of your thirty years. And you training me
to teach you because I'm going to be replacing you.
I'm not going to train as an O season employee.
I'm not going to train you to do my job
for me better than me. I'm going to show you
some things and some things I'm gonna make you learn
by example experience, or I'm not gonna teach you at
(26:35):
all because I'm gonna make myself inaccessible. That is what's happened.
And they told those they pre one of those people
told them they're going to lay them off. You can't.
You shouldn't tell people in advance we're gonna lay you
off in two much. You don't have to.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I'm right there right now where I work is they
have layoffs, and they're going to have layoffs next month.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Well it makes your mind you want to go and
dishovel some things that you know. I know you're not
like that, but bout it. But you're one person. Just
I don't believe that the people are boying had did
stuff like that. But you you if you pre wanted
me that you're laying me off, and I don't know
how long because you might be bringing in robots, so
(27:16):
AI what have you? Of course I'm gonna make it
to where you got to bring me back. Can't nobody
do this but me? It is scary to think that.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
No, I'm not. I'm such a rule follower. I can't.
That would bother me. I'd want to. I still feel
like my name is stamped on everything that I do,
and I want to be proud of the work that
I do, so I kind of live under that model.
But I know what you're saying. When you do get
laid off, they do you do walk you too the
door in most places because they don't want you to
get to you know, take a chance to do anything
(27:47):
that would that would ruin the computer system or whatever.
So I get it.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I thought room temperature, that's a joke. That's a joke. Look. Uh,
as far as d Linsky goes, I watched the Linusy
speak once I get to my hotel room, and uh,
he seems heartbroken that they are trying to come out
of this meeting because he knows that there's an underplay,
(28:18):
overplay for the underplay, and he's not part of the
meeting to know what they're going to do. I don't
like the way it played out, and then they publicly
need it like they were trying to humiliate him. It
is by Bobby. All of this will play out in
the public in front of us. Unfortunately, some of us
will possibly be collateral damage. But what we're thinking, or
(28:38):
what you're thinking, is probably what really is happening. The
question is what we're going to do about it as
a country, what because it looks like we just taking
in lyning down.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Things like this. You've seen there have been protests everywhere.
There will protest here in Boston. Federal employee ploth protests
that they've been all over in the three weeks that
he's spent here. And I think we've talked about like
you know, the little boy crying wolf. It's going to
water down our message. There are things to die on
(29:09):
the hill floor, and I feel that this is one
that they have the protest. They are ally, they have
been our best ally. They have kept the war over there,
just like Israel has and for the Middle East, and
they keep it there and protect us and give us information.
That's why we pay them. When people get all angry,
(29:29):
there's a reason everything with foreign policy, and I'm not
great at and foreign politics, it is so intertwined. If
you don't do a little something here, like not giving
foreign aid to poor countries, there's a step down.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Then.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You know, if we keep these people happy in their
own countries, then they're not all trying to come here.
You know, when they have enough food and enough medicine
and they can live our respectable life, then they're not
rushing off to the United States trying to come acros us.
Our borders are there? Are they no? So? You know,
(30:05):
as you say, overplay for the underplay, everything is so
like a ball. I feel terrible for zillin Sky. I
think they are totally trying to make him look like
a jackass. Uh, And how does he report back to
his people? He looks weak. Now they're saying because they
didn't have they haven't had an election. I thought they
were up to it. Trump is now saying I just
(30:27):
heard him on a news conference saying that, well, you know,
if you want to come to the table, you know,
you have to be voted in by the people. He
was voted in by the people. No one ever questioned
that election, Donald, So we just that's the stuff we
have to This is an important thing to pay attention
to the Gulf of America and let that go. The
(30:52):
fact that the CIA has all sorts of drones. Is
anybody paying attention for the drug cartels? We had the
drones under He just didn't tell us about it, you know,
when everybody was complaining about the drones, and he kept saying,
don't worry about it. They're all set. They've been vetted.
That's why they were. You know, they're looking for fentanyl.
They're looking for and now Trump has added some and
(31:14):
people are well, they've been around all the time. People,
let's not pay attention to the drones, pay attention to
which actually, you know what's out there that's that's going
to kill us. And I think this war, in the
war in Israel are things that we really need to
pay attention to what's happening.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Because we were promised by the sitting president before he
became the sitting president that as soon as he got
he could stop the war, he could stop the war.
They won, they one, we passed, they won three weeks ago.
They won. There came day, two day, twelve, day, fifteen.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
And it's because it's the same thing. It is so complicated,
especially like the Israeli war. It's so complicated. There are hundreds,
probably thousands of years of history. These are you know,
two people's coming together for religious reasons and whatever. It's
not easy. You're not gonna make a parson. And then
you go in and your big solution for that is
(32:11):
to make it the Middle East rivieria, Like who are
you missed to, Billy big balls, it's not your country.
You're going to go in and just and we need
to take financially, we need to take that on where
they put in the rubble like that's a mess. Like
you know, if we have to fund some of it
to get these poor people homes. Okay, and then you're
telling other countries Syria, Egypt, and there was a third
(32:35):
one that I'm blanking on that they're going to take
all the whole population. Who's who's affording that they don't
come in with skills. These people don't really work because
there's there's no there's nothing that comes out of Gaza.
God bless them, not that they wouldn't want to.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
You know, then, I have not heard one thing you
said since Billy Big Bows O God al and don't
think we can make a conversial ring Oh my god,
Billy big Balls. I'm gonna have to borrow that one.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Oh my God. Speaking of Billy big Balls, I will
say that he signed an executive order that he wants
to expand IVF. He puts he put a task group
onto it so to make it more affordable and more
transparent for people to have babies. And I will say that's,
you know, I'm kind of all with that. I think
that's it's really expensive for some people, and our population
(33:30):
is going down, so you know, it's not a bad thing.
But but yeah, God bless them well.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
With Elon Musk getting up into those and getting up
into social Security. That was all it, Bobby. You know
they say they run scams on the internet, nobody's going
to know who to trust what. But now all of
our information is up in the wing. Like you said earlier,
when you're talking, it's in the clouds. All of ourself
is in the clouds. So people can go up in
your account and just right feel from you, borrow from you,
(34:01):
take from you whatever.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I don't have twelve dollars and fifty cents, they'd probably
come and slip my throat in the night because I would.
I would have been a waste of time for them.
I got nothing. I have nothing. I owe everybody, and
I'll owe everybody. I get all that student loan dead.
Also it's a credit card to come and take mine.
But for people who actually have done things the right
way and haven't screwed up in life, I feel badly
(34:23):
for them. Did you see that Hamas is finally? This
kind of touched my heart, But I feel so badly
for the man he's finally they're finally releasing four bodies
that they've been holding. Those two babies at nine month
old and four year old, and the mom they were
killed in an airstrike so that husband will finally get
(34:44):
his family back and be able to bury them. They
released three hostages over the weekend, one American, one Russian
one what was the other one? All is really you know,
like they were both they had dual citizenship, but that
was kind of nice. I can't wait to see that
because that come to an end. That's I'm over all.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
The wars, Bobby Thiston. You know, that's one of my things.
I always say, I hate wars because war is just
unnecessary death for so many innocent people. But we are
we're hoping that we don't go into a war, Bobby.
This is this is very scary. Uh. And I'm seeing
all the protests all over I've been seeing people from
(35:27):
the trans community making major protests because he's trying to
you know, he's well, he's removed the tea from the
website on the White House, but now they're trying to
remove the ta from Stonewall from nineteen sixty nine for
Sylvia Guerrera and h ooh, what's the name. What's the name,
Bobby God, I can't remember this woman's name who kicked
(35:52):
off Stonewall, Marsha P. Johnson, which is just it's just
it's like they're trying to erase things that they don't
want to be reminded of, where they don't want to see.
They just it's easier to erase it for.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Them because they don't understand that it's ignorance. Yeah, that's
all that. All of that is. It's it's just people
that have never come up across an LGBT person in
their in their life, so they don't know I'm scared
of them. They probably think you're you all are recruiting
(36:25):
and they're they're nervous that you know, they might get
left behind and they won't be asked. But that it's
just ignorance.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I'm about to recruit some chicken. If you don't leave
me alone, listen, we don't know what is going to happen.
I see the target loss. According to statistics of the
News Media, Target has about fifteen point seven billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Since I have a shop there.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Has taken office because of the d aerobics. I want
to allow my kids to shout. They read the Bible.
I'm standing with.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
That's the stuff we have to pay attention to. Somebody
sent me something and it was really fascinating. It was
all of the companies that have either given to the
Republicans given to to roll back DEI. And it was
a third thing. And I said, you know what, I'm
not paying attention to who who gave to the Republicans
any longer. I don't care. If I was wealthy and
(37:23):
I wanted to give to somebody, to a Democratic you know,
I had a big store or whatever. I'm Martha Stewett,
and I wanted to give to the republic to the Democrats.
Nobody should be able to tell you who. But if
you're rolling about DEI, if you're you know, if you're
doing things that are harmful or setting people behind, that's
that those are the stores I'm going to pay attention to, yea,
(37:44):
because it's not Look at all the all of the
companies that we came across the other day that that
has still had DEI. It didn't take a whole lot,
They just left it in place. I know it costs
more money. Well, he's threatening people too. I mean, he
was telling schools that they either they're they're gonna he's
(38:06):
gonna cut the federal funding that they receive, and the
federal funding guys. So when people have their They're up
in arms over the Department of Education. They make no
decisions the Department of Education about how your kid is educated.
They give them student loans, they fund I e p s.
There'll be no more I e p pece, especially probably
(38:28):
for federally funded for the states that don't have a
lot of money. I'm sure that my state in your
state will pick it up. The state will figure out
how to fund the d the I e p s.
It's they're making some of these these departments seem like
(38:48):
they're crazy, you know, like they're they're too much, but
they're not. So you're gonna get rid of more and
more of these organizations that are actually helping people. Uh
you know, I I don't. It's it's in your You're
getting us all caught up in court. Like I'm sick
of that. We're gonna in three to six months flame
we're gonna sit and watch all TV will be is
(39:11):
each case in court, just like when Trump was going
through it, and like everything will be tied up and
we'll be watching that. I'm not down with it. And
now RFK got in and all of a sudden we
have this huge it's nothing to do it's just coincidental.
We have this huge outbreak of measles in West Texas
(39:32):
and why they probably half of them vaccinated. I wonder
they could be. They could be immigrants or migrants. But
measles is being new. Like when we were a little kid,
people got set, you could be blind and get like
a horrible encephalitis. There were all sorts of terrible things
that happened with measles. Measles are no joke.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
FK JR. He's about them back vaccines. I don't agree
with some of his stuff. He's there's a lot of it.
For some stuff, I understand. I'm not gonna say I
agree with it, but I can see his different perspective,
his point of view with some stuff. But some stuff
he just seems to be extreme, an extremist with and
about it.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
When you're making your a baby bear a cruditae board
on your way to the airport and you're.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Assuming we're talking about that part, we know that's crazy.
I'm talking about with the medical stuff, and I don't
believe that. I can't believe that they allow him to
get past to be put in that position to have
because you feel, because you feel a certain way and
you got brain worms that might be impairing. How you
completely think you know around.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
That's that was a good decision. That's not working for you.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
But you have control over what we will do as
a nation because you're in that position. We were supposed
to look to our leaders to listen to. Yeah, I'm
not down with that either, Bob, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
I don't mind him wanting to do See a lot
of this work has already been done, you know, like
talking about certain vaccinations, talking about certain proceipits. The work's
been done. We already have it in the library, so
to speak. So for new stuff. You know what I
would love to see RFK do that I haven't heard.
I was hoping that President Biden's administration would do it
(41:17):
and they didn't. I would love him to do a
post COVID, a post mortem on COVID and how we
handled it, you know, the vaccination, how it was it
successful in the end. Like I'd love to see what
we could learn because from past administrations people who are
speaking now, we are rife for another another pandemic to
(41:41):
come down, and I would like to think we actually
learned something lost time and you know, we can handle
it better moving forward. You know, we didn't need to
put everybody into we did in the beginning into quarantine.
But the schools is long. But we didn't know that
at the time. So what did we learn? What are
the key things like, you know whatever. That's what I'd
(42:02):
like him to do.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
He would be the one to speak on that because he.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
He could direct that. He could get the team together,
you know, get all the whatever together.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Believe in the next thing. He never took it. Yeah, yeah,
he's just in that position because he had that title.
But I don't know if he would be this person
to speak about it because he never took it. Like me,
I wouldn't be the person to speak about it because
I never take it.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Well, I don't want to hear him say it. I
wouldn't want to hear you say it or me. I
did take it, and I don't want me. But I
would like him to get all of the the experts,
the subject matter experts together, have them all come together
with their information, including Fauci and that lady that was
laughing behind him, that with the with the scarf, the
blond lady. My god, I'm blanket on her name. Yeah,
(42:49):
they have them all get together. What were their thoughts,
what did they see? Fauci said, it was like a
moving target. What he thought in the beginning was nothing
that he thought at the end. So put all that
information down and sort of do a playbook like Obama
thought there was a playbook. Well, we this pandemic was
much worse. We need to updake the playbook. It's a
(43:10):
new season. Yeah, for some tough times. I think I've
already said it to you. We've had you have to
tear things down sometimes before you can actually fix them.
Maybe people actually have to see flame that he's full
of baloney, you know, like everything that he said or
(43:34):
I think I think generic, I think like Stop and
Shop brand. I think he's full of it. And I
think they need to see, they need to feel it,
because you know, he says everything is great, right, you know,
this is great, that is great. You know, Zelenski is
a dictator. They've saved a million dollars already, or a
bazillion dollars on social security. None of that's true. But
(43:56):
actually see it. Don't get your social Security check. Let
yourself so security check be twenty five percent light. Let
them stop funding medicaid again. I think my state will
because medicaid was always set up to be to be
a partnership the federal and the state to pay it.
My state will figure it out. It's funny, the blue
(44:19):
states tend to be the ones that do better. The
red states are the poorer states. So I'm not worried
about your state, in my state, or New York or Connecticut,
you know, all the states that fund and supplement everybody else,
because we'll we won't maybe we won't be able to
supplement any more flame, but we'll get our people will
be taken care of. I'm worried about the Kentucky's, the Montanas,
(44:42):
the you know, all the people that get supplemented. A
little bit. I'm a little bit worried about them.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
So hit slogan, what's make America great again for wealthy
people only?
Speaker 2 (44:54):
And that's the and so that's what he's He's worried
about getting these tax taxes cuts funded. I told you,
I think for me, it was only eleven dollars a
week that I noticed. I would happily something else that
came out. Somebody pushed him. I don't know who it
is about the Moneys that he was going to save
(45:15):
because you know, of course he's saying, now it's going
to be two trillion dollars or something, and said, well,
why doesn't some of that money go back to the people.
And I'll be honest, I don't want the money. It
will be five thousand dollars a family. I don't want
the money, Flame. I want the money to put it
into social Security. And one of the things that you
want to cut, well, how about this, don't cut it.
First of all, he's he has set the bar so high.
(45:38):
He's trying to save eight hundred and fifty billion. He
has to save like one trillion in order to pay
us back. It's almost like you're never going to get there.
Do You're not like he's never going to get there,
but he's setting himself up because you know, you know this,
people will voting for a Flame why because of that
ged stimulus check, that twelve hundred box. So whatever it
(46:00):
is that we I kind of even remember five years
ago that we got that. People love the idea of
the money. So now you're going to dangle five thousand dollars,
it might as well be one hundred thousand dollars because
you're never going to get there. In front of people
and then all of a sudden, you're not going to
be able to deliver. He's so far from being able
to deliver, but he just keeps throwing the stuff against
the wall.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Well, we just want you guys to understand that the
making great, make America great again for the very rich
people are very different from the MAGA people. They under
the same brother with those are two different entities because
the MAGA people ran for something else. The make America
great again only for the super wealthy people are very
different and creatures, y'all. And I didn't explain that correctly.
(46:44):
But if you sit down and think about it, you
know what the hell I'm talking about. The mega people
are the ones that about to lose everything to make
America great. For the super wealthy, I'm prospering like you
wouldn't believe, right.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
And that's the truth. And it's more and more. Cuomo
again was saying yesterday he was trying to explain it
to a caller and he said, listen, people like me,
the top five percent, I'm gonna I'm saving all sorts
of money, he said. But the rest of the country,
you know, the lower we're not, he says, And I
don't mind paying my fair share, you know, so to
(47:20):
make up some of the holes that that we have
right now. It's tough.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
And people out there and left in land Land. Y'all.
Notice how Bobby always references Chris Cuomo. It's not like
he believes everything that he said. She's just like looking.
She's just like looking at the place that it comes from.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
He's cute, you know why. I like them. So I'm
a libra. I like fairness. I don't like everything. I
thought he was hard at times on Biden because I
liked Biden, but he was correct. But I like fairness.
I don't like people that like talk out of two
sides of their mouth, and so that's why I sort
of I like News Nation. It's not I find Fox
to be the far crazy right. I find MSNBC. Though
(48:03):
they're more respectful and they don't give you bad information,
I feel they slant it more to the far left.
I find CNN is a little bit more in the middle,
but still a little on the left. And I find
that News Nation is literally right in the middle.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
So if you you want to hear good bat or otherwise,
he Chris has I know his show now Elizabeth Vargas
is on, and because Abrams left, he's sort of they're
they're fair and they will have people of both sides.
So whenever Chris or Elizabeth has a Democrat on, they
(48:39):
have equal Like we were talking at the at the
top of the show, he had two different people. He
had the Republican and and they kind of go and
the republic and the Democrat, they kind of go head
to head or each give their own they each give
their own take on it, if you know what that
I and I'm hoping we get past this. So people
(49:01):
that were so sort of disgusted with some of the
things of his own side, the gops who were a
little disgusted with some of the stuff January sixth, et cetera,
et cetera, that Trump was doing, they tap dance. Now,
So Chris Colo had a Republican and a Democrat on,
and he was talking about just breaking down what we were
(49:24):
just talking about, the savings of the eight e fIF billion,
what exactly what it was for. So Chris said, you know,
just so we're everybody, all three of us were on
the same page. It is not for to pay down
the deficit, not at all. It is to save his
text cuts that he did the last time. So the
Democrat kind of spoke, and then the Republican came on
(49:47):
and this is the type of I'm so sick of
here in this shit in plain English, and he says, well,
he says the economy wasn't bad at the end of
the Biden narrow because of Donald Truntz Trump's tax cuts.
He benefited from it. And Chris is looking at them like,
are you not that's not even that wasn't the question,
(50:08):
And no, that wasn't actually what happened with But I'm
so sick of everybody tap dancing for him. It doesn't
answer the question. You know, you ask a specific question.
I don't even know what they're saying half the time.
Speaker 3 (50:24):
That's how we get out of there, evade the questions.
That's what he did. So do we already seen in
the Secret Bible? We talked about it. You have to
put it wrong for four year olds because they will
expose him for who he is.
Speaker 2 (50:36):
Oh, that's all I'm going to say on that.
Speaker 3 (50:38):
