Speaker 1 (00:00):
So like Bruce Springsteen, Bono and so many other artists,
Legendary singer Michael McDonald is also not a fan of
President Trump and his administration. According to Classic Rock magazine,
McDonald said quote, I think it's important that all of
us stand up and say our peace here in the US.

(00:21):
These are perilous times. I'm afraid we are staring down
a dark channel that could lead to totalitarianism. Michael McDonald
went on to say, in part, we've got a guy
who doesn't want to be president of the United States
as much as he wants to be one of the
points of light, the whole axis of everything he wants

(00:42):
the world. So that's according to Michael McDonald, Yeah, he's saying, yeah,
you heard him.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah's ownership much.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
You know that's President is an interesting human being man,
because I've never seen anybody an authoritative position like this,
takes so many positions on stuff that's so minute. I've
never met a person who was supposed to be relevantly
important have so much time for smaller issues, like he

(01:17):
got time to comment on a singer that don't like him,
Bruce Springsteen.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I mean, he has time for that.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Most presidents just know there's going to be a certain
amount of hate come with the job, just going about
your business. He don't let nothing go once it crosses
his death. That's crazy, man, that you even have the
time to even acknowledge something like this. Man, that's what's Yeah,

(01:48):
but you just go what what? Man?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
And if it's about.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Something to do to that, yeah, yeah, petty, Yeah, I mean,
I mean little bitty stuff. He comments on every single thing.
He has time for it, and especially if it's about him,
because he's a narcissist, so if you say anything about him,
he's compelled to say something back. That's a dangerous person

(02:15):
to have in charge. Besides the amount of non truths
he tells. I mean it's just out and out blatant
lies that you say. Man, The thing he did about
Biden the other day, talking about you know, he said, wow,
you know the guy's been sick. I don't know how
we didn't know about this. I mean stage nine cancer

(02:38):
takes a really long time.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, he said that.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Met It was on the John Daily Show. Dal Hughgley
posted it. I mean he said it. He said, I
think he could have let us know. I mean, how
to get like that? I mean, stage nine cancer takes
a really long time, and he is not a great guy.
He's a bad but I don't feel sorry for him
oh much. I mean he's saying this about Joe Biden man,
a man who's really stricken right now.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
How you know that. That was the administration's text that
first went out. Our heart goes out to Joe and jail,
and we're praying for their sake. Because no, that went
out from the White House. What he posted? Oh man,
what he posted? Oh that's the real dude.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, total opposite of that.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah. And speaking of Trump, the President weighed in on
whether or not he's willing to give Diddy a get
out of free, get out of jail free card on Friday, Trump,
who has used his presidential powers to part in Diddy
if convicted, Trump said, I haven't seen him. I haven't
spoken to him in years. He really used to like
me a lot. There goes the narcissism you were talking about, Steve.

(03:56):
But I think when I ran for politics sort of
that relationship busted up. The President went on to say
he hasn't been watching the trial too closely, but believes
that some people have been very close to asking him
for a pardon. Whether or not he'll cut did He
a break he is yet to decide, explaining I would
certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated,

(04:19):
whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't
have any impact on me.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
And you know, but like, once again, why does he
even have time for the did he trial?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Right?

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Sort of that.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Rs you could tolerate him and deal with him because
he wasn't in charge of you in any capacity.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Through the reality TV star and people.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Cool Cool Show, all of that. The tower was cool,
all that's cool.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
And when he started running for politics, that's when it
kind of changed.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Man, I said, how much I don't know. I don't
know nothing. You think you.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Thinking, Yeah, there, well, not a break off.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
But just a regular party. Yeah, I don't know. That
was a difference.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, there's a party after, Yeah, same minu maybe maybe Yeah,
it goes down after the after.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Finally. In trending political news, according to USA Today and
the Atlanta Journal Constitution, one of Georgia's top Democrats and
former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced her candidacy for
Georgia Governor. Bottoms, who most recently served as an advisor
to former President Joe Biden, said she is running to
fight for Georgians amid what she described as quote chaos

(06:00):
an uncertainty coming out of Washington, d C. Candidate's in
the Georgia governor's race in twenty twenty six will be
buying for an open seat with Governor Brian Kemp term
limited after his two consecutive terms.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Yeah, yeah, Governor Bottoms, she has a real chance.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Term is up. If Kemp's term wasn't up, it'd be rough.
She has a real chance. Yeah. She's really really a
great person man, super smart person.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah, all right, you're listening.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
