Cocktails and News OCTOBER SURPRISE and Trump is PISSED

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Hello, Lulu, thank you for joining us on the Nicki
Maduro Show. I am Nicki Maduro. She is Kim McAllister.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
You know what I forgot just typing? Can you bring
me a cocktail? Excellent?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I heargot? What you forget?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
I don't think that my son is old enough to
make me a cocktail. Honey is not a home yet.
Honey is not home. I need to text him. Hurry
your ass home and make me mine.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Me a cocktail. That's my whole point as well.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Hold on, let me tell you, oh, you know my husband.
My husband's at the dollar store because he's he's doing
this and everybody, thank you for joining us. Please, if
you can hit the thumbs up button show your support
for the show. We really really do appreciate you guys
so very much for being here. This is cocktails and
News and we have so much to talk about the debate,
the October surprise with Jack Smith's dropping, and the good

(01:07):
news with the dock workers strike. But I need to
text my husband because I forgot to make my own cocktail. Well,
I forgot my cocktail? Can you please come home quickly?
Thank you? And so okay, there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
So this. This is quite a surprise here too, because
there were a few things that were kind of all
congealing together to really affect this presidential election. We have,
you know, what seems to be a wider regional conflict
breakout in the Middle East. Yes, indeed, they got the
striking port workers, which could really affect the economy. We

(01:41):
know how much people are upset about the economy, even
though things are getting better. But today we learn the
striking port workers are such a return to work on
Friday because they've reached an agreement on wages. Thanks, so
they still have to vote on that. It's not a
done deal, but it's a pretty dune deal.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
And oh yeah, it's a tentative agreement right now. But
I mean, now here's the question, Kim. Now, I do
believe that this was the right thing to do. I
think with Hurricane Helene, I think with every obviously we're still,
you know, dealing with COVID. Oh my husband wrote me back,
he's all at the mall have your son take care

(02:21):
of it. My son is. But anyway, I think that
with you know, everything that's been going on, I'm happy
that the dock workers strike is being pushed off till
after the election. But then the question is who does
it really benefit, Like, do you think that it helps
either candidate right now with this being pushed off till

(02:43):
after the election.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, I mean, for now, it benefits all of us
because we're not going to have shortages of things, We're
not going to have prices rising. I mean, probably benefits
the Biden administration because they think.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
They helped like negotiate this deal, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Well, President Biden did said he did say he wouldn't
get involved, right, he wasn't going to stop this like
the like Reagan stopped the uh, the air traffic controller
type thing.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
He wasn't going to get involved in that. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
But they got a chunk of a raise. It's a
four dollars per hour raise for each year of this
six year contract.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
But it's the automation thing that they're really really trying
to fight. I saw one video, and I don't know
if you guys have seen it. I apologize I don't
have it ready. I saw one doc worker and he
had shown the automation. It was a fully automated doc
And I am telling you I understand why they are
fighting back on it. It's eerie. It was just like

(03:44):
you know how you seen Amazon warehouses with the you know,
obviously this was a massive scale because those containers are gigantic. Yeah,
but the question is if you strike against automation, is
that not accelerate the use of automation. It's like you

(04:04):
you don't want me to use automation. I'm gonna need
to get these these containers moved somehow. I don't have
to pay a robot healthcare, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Sick leave.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's I don't know how we stop the progression to
automation without striking to put it in our contract, like
we've done it right with with our stag aftro. When
we were working in radio, we made sure you could

(04:36):
not replace our job with automation with but remember there
was one reporter we talked about it, I think on
the show or that one music DJ.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
She was a woman.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
She's like, I'm gonna be sometimes on the radio and
sometimes my voice is taking over. I'm like, are you
thinking exactly? I'm like, you're not the this through because
once that gets popular, I guess he's out of a
freaking job.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Lady.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Come on, in this case though, with with automation and
physical labor. I don't necessarily know you can fight it
in the same way. It seems like fighting progress. I
would argue that AI and automated voices don't have the
same impact, the same effect, the same sharing of ideas,
the same connection with people. You know, you stumble over

(05:30):
a word, people can relate. They might not have been
able to pronounce that one either. You say something wrong,
people relate. It's just it's not the same robotic connection
right as you and I may have with people that
are joining us right now. It's a totally different thing.
Whereas when you're looking at you know, a crane, an
automated crane lifting a trailer off of a you know,

(05:53):
a container off of a container ship. That's a different
that's a little harder to fight, I think. And so
maybe it's we have different jobs for people.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
So you think that they're going to have to phase out.
So you're seeing that they're going to be phasing out
these doc workers in the mutual.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Or maybe they do different things, like what when you
have AI assisting computer programmers, you still have programmers as
maybe you don't need quite as many of them, but
you still have to have someone in charge of the
AI stuff that's going on.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
But it's going to be a guy that's working the computer.
It's not going to be the guy that normally handles
the you know, the controls of whatever's moving the container,
unless you're training that guy to work the AI computer,
which I highly doubt they're doing. Eric is, why do
you think all the tech bros want a universal basic income?
They know automation is inevitable and we're going to have

(06:54):
to learn how to deal with it as a society. Yeah,
I mean it's I think that we're ignoring the transition
and how to educate these people and how to take
care of the generation that's going to age out of
these jobs and yet still need to make a living, right,
unless we plan to not make the retirement age later

(07:19):
in life but earlier. Because now these people, what are
they going to do. They can't work let's just say,
in our grocery stores because now all of a sudden,
that's automated, right, I mean, they can't do all of
these quote unquote easier task because now those are being
taken over by computers, and we don't want to educate
them to do the data or whatever to educate them

(07:40):
to do the AI stuff. What are we going to
do with these people? I mean, what are we going
to do? And it's a question that is coming up
and coming up, So I get why this guy was
so pissed. Now this is the head of the union.
Now I'm just going to play it now again. The
headline is they've reached a tentative deal. So these tough words,

(08:01):
of course weren't necessary. But I'm telling you, when he
was saying this stuff like this, I was thinking, like,
I don't know if this is the right tactic that
you should be taking, because it's harsh.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
These people today don't know what the shrike is. When
my men hit the streets. The main totext is every
single port a lockdown. You know what's going to happen.
I'll tell you. First week, you all over the news
every nine boom boom. Second week, guys who sell costs

(08:36):
can't sell costs because the cars ain't coming in off
the ships. They get laid off. Third week, malls are
closing down. They can't get the goods from China, they
can't sell clothes, they can't do this. Everything in the
United States comes on a shit They go out of business.
Construction workers get laid off because the materials.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Aren't coming in.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
The steel's not coming in, the lumber's not coming in.
They lose their job. Everybody's hating the long showman now
because now they's realize how important our jobs are. Now,
I have the president screaming at me. I'm putting a
theF heartly on you go ahead. Theaf helloing means I
have to go back to work for ninety days after

(09:21):
cooling you off. Period. Do you think when I go
back for ninety days, those men are going to go
to work on that pier. It's going to cost the money,
the company's money to pay their salaries. Well, they go
one from thirty moves an now and maybe the eight
they're gonna be like this, who's gonna win here? In
the long run, You're better off sitting down and let's
get a contract and let's move on with this world.

(09:43):
And could today's world. I'll cripple you. I will cripple you.
And you have no idea what that means.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
So I mean he and he he was using even
harsher words, and like you know, reporters, he was using
some fel language. But I get it. I mean, I
don't think Americans fully grasp. I even looked at my
husband the other night and I was like, so, how
concerned are you? Because he works in HVAC. Obviously you

(10:12):
need all of these supplies to make these things run.
And he was like, you know, kind of concerned. So
it's one of these things where it's this web and
I was getting flashbacks of COVID and all of that
sort of thing, and it was it was given me addita,
I'd be honest, but it's just you know, but I'm

(10:33):
so I'm very grateful, very very grateful. Again. Headline is
Tenative Agreement January fifteenth. They're not going to strike, and
I think between now and then, hopefully something's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
So it would be interesting to see how they handle
the automation at the ports, how they handle that issue.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, let me read a couple more headlines. A golf
twitler says Project twenty twenty five says it will change
over time to any hours more than one hundred and
sixty per month, which will end overtime. Then Trump says
he will stop taxing you on overtime hours you are
not getting. Yeah, Trump has said he does not like overtime.
He likes to bring in more people. That's what he said. Yeah,

(11:10):
Heather says, with supply chain stuff, though the demand is
so high. We've seen what shortages in the system do
with the pandemic. If automation needs demands faster than humans do,
it kind of makes sense. Eric's isn't all for shorter
work weeks without losing benefits or with universal benefits. Early
sci fi writers and futurists predicted a twenty hour work

(11:31):
week decades ago. On that note, though, idle hands, Eric
idle Hands, people need purpose. I don't necessarily believe look
what COVID did to us, Okay, loc what COVID did.
I think people had way too much time to do
their own research on some nonsense, you know what I mean. Like,

(11:53):
I think people need purpose. I know we were all
cooped up and so that kind of, you know, added
to the whole thing. But people need a job. People
need a reason to get up in the morning. I know,
at the beginning, I might seem fun to be like,
oh I'll just relax, I'll just relax, I'll go to
the beach, I'll travel. After a while, though, I think
people want to do something. Does that make sense? Like,

(12:16):
you know, well, do something.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Look at yourself. If you went down to say they
had to come in three days a week instead of five, right,
you take those two extra days. Yeah, you wouldn't cause trouble.
You'd be like, thank you very much. I'll just be
getting some extra things done, going on a little you know,
extended weekend vacation.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
True. True, I mean yes, And you're right, I mean,
I guess. But I'm just saying, if automation takes over
too much of human jobs, that's what I'm saying. We
look too far in that way and we make ourselves obsolete.
We do have control over this. This is the thing
that always like drives me nuts. It's as if we
were like, what are we ever going to do? We're

(12:58):
doing this to ourselves. It's not one for not doing
this to ourselves, but alas you know, it's as if
we see the problem and our role in it and
we just don't want to do anything about it. But whatever,
that's humans for you, you know, it's it's just that's
just the way it is.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Well, Sandy agrees with you. She said her job gives
her a certain sense of purpose, and she appreciated.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah, exactly. You know, another says I work to live.
I don't live to work. If I could get more
lifetime back, I would not life. When she puts in
life time back, I would not complain. Absolutely, I mean exactly,
I don't live to work, but I do want purpose.
That's why I was using that word. I don't want
to just lounge, you know what I mean. I want

(13:44):
I would want to do something. I don't want my
life to have purpose. That's why I like doing my job.
I really really like my new job at the school.
I mean, yeah, it's funny and I'm just you know,
these kids are absolutely freaking rediculous, but it is. It
is in its own sense rewarding. It is, I mean

(14:05):
to kind of give back and do those sorts of things.
So yeah, so I'm really really happy again, really stoked
and hoped that January fifteenth will come go and there
will be no extension of this dock workers strike.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Hey, what was your opinion on the vice presidential debate?
Did you want?

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, I'm so glad that you brought that up. Okay,
first impression, First impression is civilized. Okay, I will say
this even though I will get yeah, like jd Vance
is full of crap, right, Okay, he is so full
of crap, and the whole I will say, there was
two major flubs, one on each side. Okay. Obviously jd

(14:47):
Vance with the whole you said you weren't going to
fact check me, which was just so yeah. And then
of course Walls with the I'm friends with school shooters,
like obviously he didn't mean to say it like that.
We spoke yes, and it was obvious. So those are
the two major ones, Okay, I would say, But I
will say it was nice and refreshing to not have,

(15:08):
you know, name calling. I do think that jd Vance
bringing it all back to the Kamala Harris administration when
it had nothing to do with the Kamala Harris administration.
I think Jade Vance always not knowing what the vice
president's job actually was. I wish someone would be all,
jdie Vance, can you tell us what the vice president's
job is? I wish that question would have been asked,

(15:31):
what does the vice president do?

Speaker 3 (15:35):
What?

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Harris had three years to do it and she didn't
mean because it wasn't her job.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
It's so frustrating and it was so frustrating. That he
kept saying it, and I was like screaming, screaming at
the television. She can't do that, and is this do
you actually think you have that power? And that What
was frightening to me is that I think that Vance
is looking as the vice president like that Trump's old

(16:02):
and he's going to be president. Right, That's what frightens me.
And Jamie vans Off a freaking rocker.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
So they're already saying he's the future of the of
the Republican Party.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Weird and mind.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
So here's the problem with him being nice and being
and appearing reasonable. It's like that. And I'm not religious,
so if you please, don't think I'm some kind of zelot.
But it's like the devil puts on a coat that
makes him look like a normal person. Right, it's not.
And then you're nice to him. Right then Tim Walls

(16:38):
is nice and cordial, and it's like, no, this is
not someone with reasonable. On one hand, I want there
to be a nice, civilized debate, but on the other hand,
these are not the people that you can do that with.
These are not the people to go, hey, I think
we might agree on some things, right, JD. Vance is
not that guy. He had his extreme as tucked away,

(17:01):
which means to me that he knows the difference between
being this crazy extremist and what people will accept in
the normal people, the most of the people will accept.
He knows the differences between his audience. And that's almost
scarier to me that he believes this stuff, because you
think someone might be a little out of their their

(17:22):
gored when they believe this, But he isn't. He believes
it and he knows, he knows how to play the game.
It's very frightening.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, you're absolutely right, And that's so true because I
was thinking almost exactly the same thing. I was like,
he's being reserved. He's still saying the things that are
gonna please Trump. But did you see that Trump got bored?
Did you see he got bored during the debate he
started tweeting about Pete Rose. Are you not? He's like, Oh,
it's the lame, But I do. I completely agree with you, Kim.

(17:52):
I think that he knew that he had to pullback
on the crazy because people were annoyed, but he still
wouldn't say that. You know about the twenty twenty election,
which says everything you need to know. That's it.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
He really tried not to be so offensive when it
came to women's reproductive rights, but even that was kind
of a hard row. I thought. I kept calling my
sister during the breaks and said, you know, to say
what did you think? What did you think? You know whatever?
And she kept saying well, and she would basically say

(18:26):
what we're saying and then say, but I just think
none of this matters. She said. People don't watch this
like they watched the presidential debate, and people don't base
their vote on what happens on a vice presidential debate. No,
I mean that's true, but I think it's really important
for people to watch to know who's next in line.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah know these people?

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Who and who would you rather have run? In the show?
Do you think Tim Walls would be a good president
just in case? Do you think JD. Vance would be
a good president just in case?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
No?

Speaker 2 (18:56):
There you go. There's another. It's like another, you know,
line on the whiteboard if you're looking at who's got what.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Well, here's the thing, Kim, And this is what I
don't understand. For all of your conservatives out there today,
I think, yeah, I was today a Cheney, a change,
a freaking Cheney.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Liz Cheney.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Rallied for Kamala Harris A Cheney, I mean the conservative.
I do not understand any freaking Republican that can look
at Liz effing Cheney and not say that she is
the definition of a conservative right. I mean, give me

(19:42):
an effing break, okay, and not believe that she is
a rhino. Okay, like you cannot call her a rhino.
You can't. That is. If you think that Liz Cheney
is a rhino, you are so in o cult, you
are so not believing in the Republican Party as it

(20:04):
actually is, and you are total magicults, just out of
your mind. Okay, because Donald Trump is not a Republican.
Donald Trump is for and only what Donald Trump wants. Okay.
I had a little clip, but do you have a
clip all ready to go.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Capital to allow law enforcement officers to be beaten and
brutalized in his name, and to violate the law and
the Constitution in order to seize power for himself. I
don't care if you are a Democrat or a Republican
or an independent. That is depravity and we must never

(20:49):
become numb to it. Any person, any person who would
do these things can never be trusted with power again,
we must defeat Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
On November fifth.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
In that election twenty years ago, when we were campaigning
in Wisconsin and all across the country, we were campaigning
as compassionate conservatives. What January sixth shows us is that
there is not an ounce, not an ounce of compassion
in Donald Trump. He is petty, he is vindictive, and

(21:37):
he is cruel. And Donald Trump is not fit to
lead this good and great nation.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
And here's the other thing, Like, this is what I
say to my conservative friends out there. Why do you
think so many Republicans are saying, don't vote for Donald Trump?
Why do you think so many people that Donald Trump
chose when he was president last time, that worked closely

(22:07):
with him, saw up close how he was as president,
are saying do not vote for this guy again. Are
they just out of their mind? Or do you possibly
think they saw something, heard something, know something about the dude.
I'm sorry that your Republican party could not put forth

(22:29):
an actual candidate. I'm sorry, but your party did not,
so we cannot have an actual race and about policy,
about the actual issues. I'm sorry you had to go
back to the old candidate that's out of his effing mind. Okay,
but that's what your party decided to do. Now, if
they could have put forth an actual Republican and we

(22:51):
could have debated, you know, the actual ideas. Okay, okay,
but you didn't. You chose a convict who a convicted
felin all right, so love you, but no.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's it's disheartening but also nice that it's easy to
see the people who believe in the Constitution and will
stand up for America regardless of the cost. Liz Cheney
lost her job because of so many Trump supporters, because
people don't get it. But she father her you know,

(23:29):
her dad, and many many Republicans who worked in the
Trump administration and saw firsthand what happened there, they all thought,
are thinking, I am going to stand up for the Constitution.
That is what the United States is based on. The
Constitution is the United States. Trump's worried about flag burning.

(23:49):
What he's while he's ready to burn the Constitution? Are
you kidding me? Patriotism is standing up to keep our
Constitution in place, the rule of law, and and our
country standing. And what they want to do is tear
it down. I'm not okay with it.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Well, we'll see what happens. I mean, I don't think
that any more. Thirty something days away, right, I mean again,
in thirty something days, it's over. Like, whichever way it goes,
it's over. And I'm just ready, so freaking ready I am.
I'm ready for it to be over. Whatever way it falls,
I'm just ready. I honestly am ready. Like I hope

(24:28):
to turn the page and we don't just talk about
Donald Trump anymore. I just would love for him to
just go away. Obviously, if it goes the other way,
I'm going to be so effing exhausted.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
I have a feeling we're going to be mired in lawsuits.
We're going to be mired down in quirts. There's going
to be people that are now in place that won't
certify elections. They're going to be recounting things. They're going
to be unnecessarily you know, there's going to be all
kinds of lawsuits. There will be people they're putting bulletproof
glass and panic buttons in of places where the votes

(25:01):
are tallied and counted because they're afraid that these trumpy
people are gonna come with their AK forty seven's and
open fire like this is this is America? What this
is what we've come to now? And so I don't
know if it's we're gonna be done with that.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I don't know why we have to have all this.
I mean again, now here's the other question. So the
whole Jack Smith redacted, you know, one sixty five page
motion was dropped. Here's a question for Kim and I
know you know we talked about, you know, the Hillary
Clinton thing when she ran against Donald Trump. Do you

(25:40):
think that this is election interference? Given the fact that
we already had and what's in it, Given the fact
that we did have, you know, the whole congressional hearing
and everything like that. Do you think this closed thirty
something days before the election. Do you think that the
judge allowing this now I'm I'm asking you to put
a sigh, the fact that you can't stand this guy.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I have a reason, Okay, all right, all right. My
reason is because it's Trump's fault, because he tried to
kick the can down the road, went to those Supreme
Court god is immunity ruling, did everything else. If the
case had proceeded as it was proceeding, we might be
nearly done with it. Okay, but because he is the

(26:23):
master of delay tactics. Right now, we're down to the
month before the election. So when you look at who's
to blame for the delay, I'm blamed Trump for the delay. No,
I don't think it's unless he's trying to interfere with
his own election, which you could argue that he is.
I don't think so. I don't think it's Democrats trying
to interfere with the election. I think it's Trump's delay

(26:45):
tactics that got in the way.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
I mean, I just feel like the stuff that's in
it is nothing new, right, I mean, the stuff that's
in it is things that we already knew. I mean
we knew this. I mean it's kind of the conversations.
I love this stuff about Mike Pence and how he
was trying to like fluff up Donald Trump. It's like,
but you really invigorated the Republican Party and feel good
about It's like, because he's really trying to placate the dude,

(27:08):
as if that's enough for Donald Trump, right, He's like, no,
like I wanted to win.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
And then when Trump is in mortal danger and running
through the halls of Congress trying to get away from
a throng of people that are on the move, you know,
And so the Social Security, the Secret Service is trying
to you know, get him to safety, and Trump is
told about it. His answer, so what.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I know, whatever, I mean, do you expect any different
from him?

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Though?

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Thank you, Harry for the five dollar donations. Yeah, these
are these, I just have a million. These are Amazon.
I just they're they're thank you, They're very cute. Thanks
for the love of the new glasses. If Trump loses,
it will become the election that never ends. Do not
talk about my nightmare. I just wanted to.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Harry's wrong.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
I want to talk about boring things. I want politics
to be boring again. Make politics boring again. Just talk
about Paula. You know what I mean. Let's make a
boring again contribution.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Harry Lord knows we need it, so we appreciate it exactly.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Calvin says that thirty days before an election isn't written
in the Constitution and it's not mandatory at all. It's
nice if you could avoid it, but justice must prevail.
I mean they always talk about the October surprise, right,
I mean, it seems like surprise, surprise, surprise, rise, suprisse surpresse.
But yeah, I mean, it's none of this is a surprise.
Though nothing in Jack Smith's motion is a surprise. We

(28:30):
know all of this stuff. That's why I don't really
feel like it's quote unquote election in appearance. We have
been talking about Donald Trump doing all of this crap
since January sixth.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
I mean, I just I just don't really feel like.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Let me paint a dream picture for you.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Oh, is this a dream or a nightmare?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
This is my dream? Okay, Okay, the election happens. Okay,
Kamala Harris wins in a landslide. Not only the popular vote,
there's no ability to contest the electoral college votes, swing
stage vote go overwhelming. It's all the crazy polling is
like what that pulling made no sense? Kamala Harris wins.

(29:12):
And now because we have these charges, now new charges
rolling against Trump, we can actually hold him accountable for
what he did to America, which is still creating problems
and questions about, you know, whether our voting is safe
and what happens with our election, and and and has

(29:32):
shaken the American people in a way that we haven't
been shaken before. Right countries, this doesn't happen here. You know,
we have a stable system, or so we thought. And
so after she wins and the charges keep rolling, he's
finally held accountable. He's finally found guilty in connection with

(29:52):
inciting January sixth and all of the rotten ways that
he tried to cheat and stay in power, from fake
slag of electors to calling people in different states and saying,
just find me the vote, all of these things. Dealt with,
all of these things, he's held accountable for, and off
he goes in his orange prison jumpsuit and we never

(30:12):
have to see him again.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Tuddah, I mean, you think that Kim's dream is gonna
come true? I mean, it'd be nice. The problem, the
problem with your dream, Kim, is that you know, it
doesn't matter. California doesn't matter. There's so many states that
and I hate saying that, you know what I mean,
But it's gonna come down to these handful of states, right,
And it sucks. It sucks that it's like that. I

(30:37):
really do, I really we could talk and bitch and
moan about the electoral college, right, I mean, and it
and it depends on the year, and you know, the
Jerrymander ring and all sorts of stuff. Right, but it
does suck the way the system still is. I understand,
I really do understand why it was set up that
way way back when it does it make sense in

(31:01):
current times it doesn't. But to change it would require
a concession that I don't think these parties would ever
feel safe to give, right, So I don't see it
changing anytime soon. Nancy says, I'm scared out of my
mind about the election. I want to ease people's fears, Okay,

(31:21):
because you guys have to come to terms with the
fact that there is a possibility, a real possibility, that
Donald Trump is going to become president again. I'm going
to say that out loud, because it is a real possibility.
You guys had not, like live in this fairy tale
land where it's not possible. I like, you believe that

(31:44):
people are smarter than that, but you know current times
also perfectly that that's not necessarily true at all. Okay,
So people believe all kinds of nonsense. People actually believe
in non since that Donald Trump says, Okay, I also
believe that people believe the nonsense because they benefited from it. Okay,

(32:06):
that's that that is what I think is true. I
think that when people benefit from a certain time right
under a certain president, they're fine with it. And whether
that's okay or not, I don't think bothers certain people right,
or maybe they look at it a certain way through
certain eyes. I don't know why, but Donald Trump is

(32:26):
lying to people constantly, and some people are okay with it.
A lot of people are I'm not okay with it too.
Many people are not smarter than that, Sassy. I guess, Jennifer,
I guess. I don't know, Kim. I don't know why.
I don't know why it's so close. I don't know
why it's so close. But there's obviously a lot of
people that feel different than us. I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Joe Lowe thinks this is going to backfire and make
more people vote for Trump. I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
But Joe backfire the filing of.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
The charges, I am assuming I mean the refile of
these charges.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, I feel like I feel like the news cycle
never stops. Like it's different nowadays. Again, with Trump, nothing
seems to surprise people, right because again, there is no
bar him. He can do and say anything he wants

(33:22):
to right now. He can say anything he wants to.
He can say that let's take literal illegal citizens and
ship them back to where they are. And if any
other candidate said that out loud, they would just be
you know, they'd have to run for the hills.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
But not, Sue Anne says, I'm more worried about Trump
winning physically failing, and Vance being president as Peter Thiel hopes,
then as a puppet.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Absolutely, I mean, did you also see it? But there
are that Okay, this is the other thing that I
just want to point out. There are actual people being
held accountable for what happened. This ex county clerk in Arizona,
Mesa County, Colorado clerk Tina Peters just today was she

(34:11):
believed in the twenty twenty election conspiracy theories. Sentenced today
to nine years behind bars after being convicted of charges
including official misconduct in connection with the security breach of
Mesa County's voting system. Now, Tina Peters was convicted of
four felony and three misdemeanor charges for using another person

(34:33):
security badge to allow someone associated with Mike Lindell, you know,
the Mayapillow guy, a prominent election denier, and of course
Brinda Donald Trump access to county election equipment involving dominion
voting systems. Those machines had to be replaced. Blah blah blah.
The judge. The judge was hissed. I mean he read

(34:58):
her the riot Act. I think I actually had it.
I mean, he was basically saying, she still he said.
The judge told Peters she had no consideration for how
her lies had harmed her county and colleagues. He says,
the damage is immeasurable, he says, and I'm convinced you
would do it all over again. He called her a
charlatan who used her time in office to pedal snake oil.

(35:22):
He said, every time one of her conspiratorial claims gets refuted,
shown to be false, another tale is weeded. You're as
defiant a defendant as I've ever seen. And he said,
he called her a fox guarding the henhouse. It was
her job to protect election equipment, and she turned on

(35:42):
it and used her power for her own advantage. Yeah,
I mean she had no remorse for it. And yeah,
she's going to serve nine years in prison for this nonsense.
There was and there was no evidence of it. Again,
every time people were asked to produce evidence of the

(36:03):
so called vague elections, fake votes. They never were able
to prove it. Never, and yet lawsuit dozens. Never able
to prove it. People begged Donald Trump for the evidence,
begged Republicans, please give me the evidence. I'll get it

(36:24):
to you. I'll get it to you. Never produced the evidence. Never, never,
and yet we're going to make this guy president again.
A thing liar.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Ricky Obert says, Oh the days of tar and feathers
for lying politicians. I wish I'm gonna say something really
unpopular right now. Okay, I believe there, and please poke
holes in this theory if you can't. Okay, I believe
that there are certain crimes against America that are so

(37:00):
gregious that you should have your citizenship taken from you.
Oh okay. So if you cheat, if you cheat on
an election, all right, election cheating, trying to thwart the
will of the American voter, you are a citizen, this
lady in Arizona, Okay, if you're entrusted with ensuring that

(37:24):
the members of your community or your state have their
votes counted, because that's what we base things on here
in America. One voice, one vote, and you're going against
the tenants and the principles of this country. And you're
found to have done something so horrible like that, your
citizenship gets stripped, and you know, good luck. I hope
that you can find some other country to take you,

(37:45):
because you're not welcome here. And I think Trump is
the prime candidate for our citizens citizenship stripping. You're out.
You don't believe in the Constitution, you don't believe in
the United States of America. Not only that you tried
to break it. Citizenship stress. Where do they go find
a country who gives a rats ass? You're out?

Speaker 1 (38:07):
You're out, You're somebody else's problem. Where do we send them?
Though goods is, no one else would want them? I mean,
how do we look? I have exchanged?

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Do we do?

Speaker 1 (38:17):
I mean take our trash?

Speaker 3 (38:19):
Like?

Speaker 1 (38:19):
What do we do? I don't think that that's fair
to the other countries?

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Right?

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Well, I mean we got to take someone in return.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
I think find a deserted island, go live on Epstein Island, whatever,
Find a deserted island somewhere where you can set up
shop and be by yourself. Because you've now shown that
you're not capable of being an American citizen. I don't
want you here anymore. Give me back whatever citizenship you had.
You're done. We'll give it to an immigrant that actually
wants to be here and believes in the constitution. Otherwise

(38:47):
you're done. You're done.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
I mean, yeah, I just I don't It's.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
The law, by the way, but I want it to
be the law.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
It's like you have to wear some sort of scarlet
letter or something, you know, Mama, three boys is not
a popular I agree with you to port them to Europe.
I just I don't know, like just sending them to
other countries, as if that's just gonna be easy for
them to take, is really going to be the answer
to their people. But okay, Eric says, the man without
a country, force him to live in a ship in

(39:14):
international waters. Yeah, that's actually a pretty good idea. International waters.
You have no Yeah, nobody takes you make do the
island where they sent Napoleon. John says, that's interesting. Yeah,
I mean, I don't know, like what do we do
with people that just betray their country like that, you

(39:37):
know what I mean? Like, I guess I guess in
America we might make them president again. That's the answer.
I guess I guess in America, when you do the
things that Donald Trump did, you might make them president again.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
I'm sure that Putin would let him in. Absolutely, Vicky
and sas Alito said, Trump can be stuck in Siberia
with his buddy Putin. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Oh, Cindy, thank you so much for the ten dollars donation.
Thank you, Thank you. Miracle Congress past napa AAIA now
Law renews National oh Alzheimer Plan for research Karen support
and coordination between the federal and state. The Pray Project
twenty twenty five won't screw with this. Oh, they pray
that the product twenty twenty five won't screw it up.

(40:21):
Love your Thursday shows. That's good to hear. Cindy, thank
you so much. We've talked about the walk and the
Alzheimer's Walk and the research and all of that. Thank
you so much for sharing that and for the ten
dollars super Chat donation. Thank you so much for your
support and for sharing that with us. Yeah. I don't
know about what we do with people that betray their country,

(40:41):
but because there's also people Kim that say, you know
that an act of defiance against your country is American? Right?
I mean, there are people that say that that when
you protest your government that that is an American.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
At Okay, There's a difference between protesting your government and
trying to topple it. There's a difference between standing out
with a sign and saying, you know, I don't know,
pick an issue and doing your protest and making your
point and standing on your soapbox, versus cheating and taking
away people's votes because you don't like the way they're voting. No, Yeah,

(41:22):
big difference. One's a traitorous crime. One is a simple protest.
We can disagree. You might say voting machines are bad
and stand outside with a sign, but when you go
inside and start tampering with them, then I got a
problem with you.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Yeah. And you know what's also annoying is that these
are the same people that protest about, you know, tampering
with elections, and they always like, you know, telegraph what
they're actually doing. It's so freaking annoying, right, It's like, oh,
you mean what you're actually doing? What you're going to
nine years in prison for? Yeah, that's that whole thing.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
That's the craziest thing. Harry is right. The issue with
the MAGA people, he says, is that they think they're
being patriotic there they are waving the flag and I
love America and the flag hats and the flag pins,
and they're voting for a guy who doesn't believe in
the United States Constitution. How more un American could you be?

(42:15):
And that is why Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney, who
get it, have stood have to have stood up to
say no more, we can't do it.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
But I you know, and again, I just keep going
back to this. I don't understand why Republican after a
Republican and cabinet members, former cabinet members and people that
worked on Donald Trump's staff. Why if all of these
people coming forward and saying this isn't the dude, why

(42:44):
that's not resonating with more people. That is what I
just don't understand. It's like, you know, when more you know,
when you get a recommendation, right like you go. That's
why people get recommendations. It's like you want to know
from the people that were closed to them, what's this
person really like? And it says if it's like Nope,

(43:04):
I'm not gonna believe it until you're harmed by that person, right,
it's this cult of personality, and I just I don't know, you.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Know, I was having a discussion with my husband the
other day about if we could just be done with Trump,
if you know, I saw a meme and I know
this is rather vulgar, and I apologize about how we
have to flush twice clearly right, like this is a
flush twice moment. This this election is the second flush,

(43:36):
lushing me the second time, and off you go into
wherever turns go. But in this particular, you know, let's gross.
But why you know what happens if if we flush
again he goes away? Are we done with it? Are
we done with this ugly part of America, with this nastiness,
with this you know, question mark over not conceding elections,

(43:59):
all of these things things. And my husband's point was
that Trump, if you look at it like a tree,
he's just the diseased branch where you can see it's
diseased on top, but inside we're somehow diseased all the
way through the trunk of the tree is diseased inside.
And so it's the people that are at fault for
voting for Trump, and not Trump. He's the symptom. He's

(44:22):
not the problem. So then what is our problem? Our
problem is that we have people scared that they're losing
their position and their and their power and the society. Right.
They're scared of women, they're scared of minorities, they're scared
of immigrants, they're scared of.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
All these things.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
It's somehow that they're you know, privilege is going to
be sunk down, and they're scared and they're angry over it.
And is that our disease is that where we have
to attack to show people that there's a place for everyone,
that we don't have to be scared of each other.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Well, I also think that I think that our politics,
and I think that our Congress has a big role
in this. I think how we elect people, how politics
play out, how people actually run for office, right, like
what we require in people running for office, how they

(45:14):
run the dirty campaigning, right, how we present issues is
also the problem. Congress is broken. I hope okay, There's
two things I hope okay with this election. One the
Kamala Harris ones. Two that when she does make her cabinet,
that she keeps her promise and puts Republicans in substantial positions.

(45:37):
And what I mean, is responsible Republicans, moderate Republicans. I
want to see a bipartisan Congress, a true bipartisan Congress. Now,
I say this with a huge caveat, because I do
think that we need to have some sort of understanding

(46:02):
about major issues in this country. When it comes to
one women's rights and two immigration, I think that those
are the two issues that vilify people the most, right, Like,
they're just like, ah, we have done nothing about immigration.
We've done nothing about immigration, right, And obviously roe v
Wade should have never been touched. I don't care what

(46:23):
you say. Roe v Wade should have never been touched.
I think people were fine with leaving it as it was.
They were right with it. They really were. You don't
like it, don't have one. But government should not be
involved in women's decisions of what they do with their body.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Absolutely, okay. You know you know who agrees with you, Milania?

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Yeah, exactly. Milania's pro choice. But so is Donald Trump.
By the way, He's full of crap, but he is. Anyways,
rov Wade should have just been left alone, and we
do need to do something about the border. I think
that Democrats have really dropped the ball. But I also
think Republicans don't want to work with Democrats on it either.

(47:03):
They don't want to give them the win they could
have with that bipartisan bill, but Trump told them no,
So that bill should be signed.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Check and Roe v.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Wade should be back to being the law of the land.
I think that if we can get those two things
done right like, then we can continue to move forward
on things with the economy. We should be moving jobs
back to America. I think this doc worker strike is
a good example of that. Right, we need to be
building things in America. I do think that there is

(47:35):
an agreement that needs to be made regarding you know,
energy here, but also understanding about climate change. Like all
of these things are boring, poissy discussions that could be
had if we can have Republicans and Democrats at the
table and this kind of bickering politics out of it.

(47:56):
But it also requires like taking that that knee need
to constantly campaign out of it, right, they're constantly campaigning,
So it has to be Oh, the Democrats aren't going
to give you that. I have to give you that,
Like it's that that citizens United dark money bs so
they have to vilify the other.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Nope, you went away but while you fix your microphone.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
They have to vilify the other That's why they're okay.
So that's what I was trying to say. It's the
constant campaigning, so they won't give the other side a win.
So if we can compromise, then hopefully we can get
That's okay, I want.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
We have some good texts or chats to read. Harry
says politics is a contact sport. That's a quote from
Bill Clinton. Ricky says, fear is the most powerful motivator.
And that's another thing we've been talking about on the
Mark Thompson Show. Is it fear that motivates people to
come out and voter? Is it the hope that motivates
people to come out and vote? Because historically Democrats have

(49:03):
given messages of hope and Republicans messages of fear. So
what is it that motivates more people? Yeah, Carlene says,
how about sending Trump to one of his so called
s whole countries? Goods love it. As long as you're
not in America, I'm good to go, exactly. A goolf says.
Kamala Harris will be the first US president with career
experience in the judicial legislative and executive branches of government.

(49:27):
How's that for who's more experienced? Right, Yeah, Jennifer wants
us to kick corporations in religion out of politics.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Yep, I agree.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Kevin says we need to send the GOP a message
by voting them out. Agree, and then brings up this issue.
And I don't know if you heard this story, but
this is awful and was kind of raised at the
vice presidential debate. This woman in Eureka that almost died
because of a Catholic hospital not giving her the reproductive
care she needed when her water broke at fifteen weeks

(49:58):
and she had a major medical emergency. And you heard
jd Vance during the debate say, would you force the
nuns to give her an abortion? I would, I know
I wouldn't. And if it's your choice, I would say
you should go somewhere else. They don't believe in that there.
But if it's a medical emergency in your life is
at stake, the nuns need to get on board. This

(50:18):
is a life saving operation where you have just a
few moments sometimes to figure it out. So, I mean,
what do you really believe in? If you believe in
the sanctity of life. The fetus in this case is
probably not going to live, right, you could save the
life of the mother. So do you really value life?

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Yeah, I mean, it's it. And again, the issue of
abortion in government, and we played it last week with
Transportation Secretary p budda judge. It is never made easier
with the government throwing its opinion in there. Okay, it's
never made easier. And this whole idea of this quote

(50:58):
unquote late term abortion nonsense. It's it's, it's it's it's
a non starter. It's it's and there's no discussion about
it because it is always a tragedy, right, and so
again it's it's just ridiculous. And I and what's funny
is this this the idea that the Republican Party is
the smaller government party, This idea that the government should

(51:20):
stay out of your lives except in what is non
arguably is the most private of areas. You your body,
government should stay out of hands down, no question, me
myself and I my thoughts, my body, everything, government should
stay out of it. Like that's it, that is absolutely it.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
So albody was posting a couple of days ago, oh,
it's National Daughter's Day let's post a picture of our daughter. Guilty,
I did it. I saw someone say today, Actually, National
Daughter's Day is November fifth. It's election day. So if
you really want to do something for your daughter, then vote,
you know, to preserve her reproductive rights. On November fifth,

(52:04):
vote for Kamela Harris.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Well, you sent me this story and I was cracking
up about it. So there was this GOP candidate who
apparently took his picture. And now when you see this picture,
I'm sure you think that this is a man with
his lovely, lovely family. But apparently this is a guy.
Now get ken, this is his friend's family. Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Yeah, this is buddy. He's like, hey, can I borrow
your wife and kids? You can stand over here, or
you can take the picture because I'm gonna need to
stand behind your wife and kids.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
You know what's funny is he's trying to sell like
I was just wanting to stand with some Americans. It's like, no,
this is a picture that looks hands down like a
guy with his wife and kids. Now it's because the
guy doesn't have he doesn't have a family. He doesn't
have a wife and kids. So his name is Derek Anderson,
he's running in Virginia for a congressional district there, and

(52:58):
he doesn't have a family of his own, and so
he asked his friend's family to stand in. Now, if
you really didn't mean it, he just wanted to stand
with Americans. Why didn't ask his friends to stand there too, right?
You know, I mean why didn't Why wasn't the other
guy standing there? Why were they all like arms around
each other, like having a beer or doing something fun?

(53:18):
Right exactly?

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Homis he stole someone's family for the image, right?

Speaker 1 (53:24):
But I but I liked that story because a couple
of days beforehand, I had seen this like meme or
whatever online and it was just a question and it said,
you know, you never hear the term childless man, right,
Like it's always a childless woman, but it's never a
childless man, as if there is some sort of negative

(53:47):
or your your doc to something if you don't have
a child, right as if which JD. Vans talks about
all the time, like children, women need to have children.
You know, there was a whole thing about seat belts.
Did you hear him going on like seatbelts have reduced
the number of people having children because or car seats
because there's on the space for car seats. It's like

(54:08):
it's really obsessed with people having more and more children.
I'm just gonna let you know, Jade Vance wants women
to reproduce like a lot, a lot, a lot a lot.
So I don't know, it's just it's really an odd
He's an odd duck. I'm just gonna say that out loud.
He's a really, really odd duck. And I am not

(54:29):
looking forward to him being the new face of the
Republican Party. He's a really weird dude. So I'm just
gonna leave it at that. And I do think it
was weird that congressional candidate decided to take a picture
with his friend's family.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
You know what's crazy about Vance is his wife is
super educated. Right when they went to Yale, so she's
a Yale Law school graduate. She was a corporate litigator. Like,
she's a super educated lady. How in the world could
she end up with that guy.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
Educated people can date weirdos.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
Whatever, Like, really, here's a woman whose families at some
point immigrated. You know, I don't know, first generation or whatever,
but every time he says something about immigrants, I think,
oh God, what is what is Usha's family thinking about
right now? This is awful?

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Well yeah, I mean every time, like you know, Trump
talks about sending migrants back, he's married to one, Like
this is what boggles my mind, you know what I mean.
It's just do you read the room, man, like you
benefit all this? Like Donald Trump talks about like people
can't afford eggs, and then the same breath is selling

(55:40):
like a who was it? It was Eddie Vedder was
talking about like he's selling like between a five hundred
and a one hundred thousand dollars gold watch. Like if
people are so hard up for money, why are you
selling these expensive ass things. It's just it doesn't make sense,
you know.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
I believe if Eric is right, this guy should have
used yeah to generate a family for him. His name,
by the way, is Derek. His name is Derek Anderson.
He's a former Green Beret running for an open seat
in Virginia's seventh district. He's a Republican and he's it's
all part of this push to try to have Republicans

(56:20):
appear as the softer family kind of image.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
It's so crazy, it's crazy. All right, Well, that's enough
Trump talk all right, So thirty something days, we're done
with Trump. Let's move on a little bit, a little
bit close it home to another politician. Uh well, there's
a bunch of new California laws, right. Governor Newsom though,
signed this one which I don't know, man, This is

(56:48):
the one that was getting a lot of criticism. I
don't know if you saw it, that four am Last
Call bill. Did you hear about this one? So last call?

Speaker 2 (56:57):
This very of cronyism, this one.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
I feel like Gavin Newsom doesn't give enough just I
just I mean, yeah, so last calls two am in California.
But apparently in the La Clippers new state of the
art arena into it Dome, they're going to serve alcohol
until four am. It's the only place. He wrote a
law only for this place. It will allow one hundred

(57:26):
of club members to be served wine, beer, and liquor
until four am in private suites inside the dome after
games and after concerts. It's sponsored by the group owned
by Steve Ballmer, the current Clippers owner and former CEO
of Microsoft, and who also apparently was tied to that
dinner during COVID that Knewsome god vilified for now apparently Newsom.

(57:53):
They're like trying it out and he's gone over you know,
the need for something like this. I just don't know
if he reads the room well enough, Like I just
exactly ddre. She's like, I used to like Newsom, but
this is ridiculous. And again four am after games and concerts.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Well, this is only for special VIPs inside a.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Special not everybody into it.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
Don't. So it's the you know, the the owners, the Yeah,
it's the hoity toity crowd.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Yeah, it still needs a final approval from the city,
I guess. But I mean, come on, Opponents worry the
last couple hours will lead to more drunk driving and
promote excessive drinking. But again, I'm assuming these people have limos,
but then again they might not. I mean, look, justin
Timberlake got a dui. You would assume he'd have a driver, right,
I mean, you assume things about rich people, But then

(58:50):
they have like these fast cars that they just want
to drive, right, So who knows if they're going to
be safe in signing them In assigning message, Newsom also
said he would drive the CHP to work with local
police to monitor drunk driving incidents in the area and
report backfindings. It sunsets the law in twenty thirty. I

(59:12):
just I don't get him.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
I am craive this. Here's the problem with this.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
U huh.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
You have a law for one owner and VIPs at
Intuit Dome. According to state records, Ballmer's wife, Connie, donated
a million dollars to Newsom stop the Republican recall campaign.
Murphy's Bowl donated more than seven hundred thousand dollars to

(59:39):
lobby state lawmakers and new somem for proposals that would
make it easier for alcohol companies to advertise and install
face scanning technology to verify legal drinkers. So is this
the same thing that he did with Quiznos and the
having to pay people at fast food more? Except for the
people pull that back because that was but not until
he was called on a carpet exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
But I mean, he doesn't seem to be pulling back
on this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
And now we've got this one. These people have donated
to his campaign and they're like, we want to be
able to serve till four in the special VIP club.
And he's like, well, you did donate a.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Million a law, why not just turn the other cheek,
you know what I mean? Like, why do not just
tell the security at the end to it done? Like, hey,
let these guys stay late. Why do you have to
have a freaking law for it? He's an idiot, Like, sorry, news,
you're a dumbass.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
He does so many good things, but when it comes
to having some ethics, as far as you scratch my back,
all scratch yours, he doesn't necessarily have that. I mean,
he's in a position of authority. He can't be playing
favorites for people that give him money. It's awful not
to mention pg E. Don't get me started, but.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
Come on it just I don't understand why rich people
just can't rent out the suite every night that there's
a concert or a part and just rent it out
till four am. Like, I, you're rich, just do that.
I don't rich people do that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Right, Heather says, I don't play favorites or give special favors.
Proceeds to play favorites and give special favors.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
I feel like he's just ruining his chances to become president.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Mom says, I honestly don't believe that morality and wealth
are compatible. I think that's a great question. But look
at someone like I know Taylor Swift, Okay, billionaires she
I know, but she's paying her people, yes, extra bonuses,
she's donating all over the place. Does she spend a

(01:01:44):
lot on clothes and homes and trips whatever, Yes, but
she's also donating so much money. I don't think it's
there mutually exclusive. I think you could be a rich
person and have some values and morals.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
I completely agree. I think it matters where you come from,
your upbringing. I also think it's what you I think
it's also what you go through, right, Like I feel
like Newsome, I don't know, I don't know his complete
life story, right, but like when you just kind of
have it easy, and I don't know if everything's been

(01:02:17):
easy in his life, right, But you know, you're the
you're the mayor, then you're the governor, and people give
you crap and like, you know, like I get to
do what I want to do for so long. They're
just like I'm gonna continue to do what I want
to do.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Dolly Parton's another great one, Eric, Right, good, great example.
It's just yeah, I think there's people that take their
money and are like I'm gonna do good things with it.
And then there's other people that I'm gonna take my
money and I'm gonna have great parties. And then when
i'm in power, I'm gonna use that power to help
my friends. And I'm not saying that Gavin Newsom hasn't

(01:02:48):
done great things. I think that he has. I also
think that he's used his power and sucked. Right, So
I've been disillusioned with mister Newsom as of late. So true.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
But still, if you put up a Gavin Newsom against
a Donald Trump, I'd go Gavin Newsom every year.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
Oh, I mean, if you go a cactus against Donald Trump,
I would go vote for the cactus.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
But I would assume that then in the White House
there would be special favors being dispensed all over the place.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
Yeah that's true. But you put a Pete Buddha Judge
against Gavin Newsom, I'm going Buddha Judge. Yeah and times over,
so absolutely so Yeah, I just feel like, again, it's
it's this idea of if we like this person or
we like their music, like, does that make them a
good person all the time? No, it does not. Again,

(01:03:41):
this Seawan Diddy Puff Daddy Combs thing that's coming out.
I am getting more disgusted the news about the fact
that the youngest victim was nine years old, and that
did you hear the attorney? If you guys aren't keeping
up on this, I know it's you hear. You know
Shawn Combs. Do you guys understand maybe he didn't listen

(01:04:02):
to his music and I don't. I'm not a huge P.
Didy fan. Okay, I wasn't somebody that downloaded or bought
his music. But I know of him and the fact
of the people and the tendrils of this. How many
people are allegedly going to be connected to this. They're
thinking hundreds of celebrities. I The attorney was like, the

(01:04:28):
names will shock you drop the freakin' names already, I am,
they say, I think he said, within the next thirty days,
you want to talk about culture, personality and this idea
of celebrity. Kim right, like just this idea of oh
you know, oh yeah, absolutely, kay did He's where he
belongs now the moment that he wasn't able to get

(01:04:49):
bail And I mentioned this when we first started talking
about it, when he wasn't able to get bail, and
he's rich. I was like, oh wow, they got something
on him that the judge was like, no, you are
not getting out. I mean apparently the youngest victim was nine.
In addition to other children, okay, other children, men, it's

(01:05:10):
mainly not mainly, but mostly men. Okay, not saying there
weren't women, but the videotapes, I was talking like like
me and my cowers are just about this, like we
are just oh my god about this sort of stuff.
And I'm telling you, like I know, a lot of
people aren't mentioning jay Z. There's a lot of conspiracies

(01:05:32):
and stuff. Like people were like, oh my god, jay
Z lost all of these Instagram followers because of it.
Apparently that's not true. He's always had like not that
many Instagram followers. I don't know, I don't care. I'm
I'm just waiting for the names. I want this attorney
to drop the names. I want to know. Trump was
really good friends with Sean Combs, was friends with a
lot of people. All these videos though of his past

(01:05:54):
interviews where he's like, now what we know, it seems
like he's just telling people all the time what he does,
and nobody was putting it together. And so I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
I'm seeing on talk shows.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
Yeah, like Ellen and all sorts of stuff. You talked
about these parties all the time. And then did you
see the Garth Brooks story. No, So now Garth Brooks
is facing sexual assault charges. Really, Garth Brooks has been
accused of sexually assaulting and battering a woman who claims
she worked as his hair stylist and makeup artist. Oh no,

(01:06:30):
the woman, according to CNN, suing the sixty two year
old country star for sexual assault and battery file today
in California. Apparently it happened in twenty nineteen, according to CNN. Obviously,
Garth Brooks is denying it. According to the filing, he
exposed himself to the victim. Alleged victim regularly changed his

(01:06:53):
clothes in front of her, talked about sex and his
fantasies with her, and sent her explicit text messages. During
one alleged incident in twenty nineteen, the victim claims she
was at his home for work when he walked out
of the shower naked, grabbed her hands and forced them
onto his genitals while saying vulgar things. So those are

(01:07:16):
the allegations against mister Garth Brooks Now, Okay, allegations, allegations, allegations.
But the reason I mentioned all of these is celebrity,
I feel like gives people this buffer, right, like they
couldn't possibly do this. It's Sean Combs, it's Garth Brooks,
like you mentioned. And again I'm not trying to put

(01:07:38):
like Taylor like. I feel like we see certain people
and we're like, that can never be about that person, right,
Like I remember when we were talking, Oh, what's his name?
Who's the comedian? Not Bill Cosby but the guy that
would pleasure himself in front of comedians. Oh God, help us, everyone,
help guys the comedian.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
I know who you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
Okay, So when you guys figure it out and remind me.
So I remember I was on with Luisy K, Thank you.
I was on with Chip and Chip knows him, and
it was the same exact thing. Chip looks at it.
He's like no way, and I was like why He's
like no way. Like now he believes it, obviously, but
he's like no way. And I was like why. And

(01:08:22):
it's because when you know somebody and he knew him,
but it's just this idea of like, of course that
person you feel like you know that person, and then
it's all of a sudden like oh wait a minute.
And then when this list as celebrities come down, like
I will tell you, kimmick alister, if my Matthew mcconaughetty
is on that list, I am telling you I will

(01:08:46):
be devastated. Well, here's devastated.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
What's the list? Is that the list of people, the
list of people that were okay, so here they commit crimes.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
So apparently now just because you attended a Shawn Comb's
party doesn't mean anything up here. Only there was like
a wink wink, nudge nudge. You can go to this
after freak freak party that happened like in the after hours,
so like the upstairs. So you'd go to a party
and then there was a point where the party went
to the end of the money and that's where all
this freaky geeky stuff and some people would just watch,

(01:09:17):
some people would videotape, some people would be involved. I
guess I don't know. We're still finding out.

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
And that here's the question. If you went to the
freakydki party, as you so lovely put lovingly put it,
then do you know that the people that are involved
in here. If there's a bunch of women, do you
know that they're sex slaves or do you think that
they're just a bunch of fans and you know kind
of roadies are people that throw themselves at celebrity. Is
that what you're thinking this is all happening.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
No, I'm just and of course, these are allegations, and
we need to have evidence, and he needs to you know,
get his time in court and all that sort of stuff.
But I'm just saying, like my point about talking about
this is I feel like when the names come out,
and obviously I think, you know, if the evidence holds,
I think it's gonna be hard for a lot of
people to just you know, put the person that they've liked,

(01:10:07):
you know, and marry that with the allegations if they
turn out to be true, right, like, because it's just
it's hard to imagine that that could possibly be true.
And a lot of people are mentioning like Justin Bieber
and his whole career and Usher and his whole career,
and just being like, what the hell happened to these kids?

(01:10:29):
You know, It's it's just gonna be Yeah, it's just
gonna be really hard and are we gonna know for sure?
So the attorney I think his name is Tony Buzby,
so he like he comes out in this press conferences
like the list is gonna shock you. And my whole
thing is like, give us a freaking list. I'm so
tired of lists are gonna shock you? And there's no list.

(01:10:49):
It's like, where is the list? I want to know
these people, but I also want evidence because don't put
out a list and then there's no evidence, right, Like,
you can't put a list out there and put people's,
especially celebrity names through mud and then not helvy evidence
right Like that's just messed up. But still it's crazy, crazy, crazy, ye,

(01:11:10):
and I'm bumping.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Off of us. I find it right now. But I
I was searching through a bunch of pictures right now
trying to find the one of me and Garth Brooks
outside of a nightclub in San Francisco where Kgo sent
me because he was giving this kind of secret performance.
Oh he was so nice out on the sidewalk, stopped
to take pictures with people.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
And he's allegations it was saying he did it, Okay,
So I'm not saying that, And I really there's a
reason why we say allegedly, allegedly, allegedly again, you know,
but apparently he was this woman was his hairdresser, so
very you know, in close quarters, you know, and these
are it happened relatively recently. Twenty nineteen is not that

(01:11:53):
long ago, so it's not like this is timing that
happened you know, many many many years ago. It is
something happened relatively recently. So that's all. We'll see what
happens in the next I guess thirty days with Diddy,
and I guess we'll see what happens with with Garth Brooks.
So I don't know. It's nice.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
Something happens to people, I think, not again, allegedly right
when they get famous and they feel powerful and invincible
and like the rules don't apply to them.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
Yeah, I just I mean, and again it's power, just
like we were talking with Newsom, right, It's like you
get this power and then all of a sudden you feel
like you could just do whatever the hell you want
to do. And it's like, well wait a minute, like
and I'm back to the freaking into a don't thing.
I don't think anybody doesn't think that that's just the
worst idea ever, Like nobody, if you were close to newsom,

(01:12:44):
You're like, this doesn't look this doesn't look good. Nobody
close to him. They should have told him, like you
do know that this doesn't look good. The optics look terrible,
and I don't think they avenue some gizz a shit. Sorry,
I just don't think he cares. And it's yeah, it
doesn't look good for you k new some I'll be
the friend to tell you it doesn't look good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
You'll be the friend someone should have been the friend.
Someone should have been the friend with quizno's too, Like.

Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
If you do this and everyone really knows.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
Did they think we weren't going to look or that
there weren't reporters that were checking the legislation, that that
you know, they had one business that was exempt and
everybody else is in for the paying of higher wages
and that this is your buddy, it's the same thing
here that people are donating to your campaign and they're
the one people that get the special preference.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Yeah, come on, all right, I have one more story
before we end a show. And I don't know if
you've heard about this thing that has happened, and it's
kind of a TikTok thing, and you know things online.
People have the best of intentions and then it takes
off and then it gets ruined. Things often happen. Have

(01:13:51):
you heard of the move the defense you deserve the
purse movement? We heard of this you deserve the purse? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
No, but I feel like I want the purse. Is
the purse filled with cash?

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
Don't we all? Let me see if I can bring Okay,
So here is the thing. So it started on TikTok.
Let me see if I could bring it away. I
hate I hate these videos because they never play properly. Okay,
I'm just gonna describe it. Okay. So this woman is
walking through I think, like Target or something, and she's
in the baby aisle, and all of a sudden she

(01:14:26):
sees amongst the diapers and everything a purse. Okay, and
so she thinks to herself, what happened in this moment?
You know, like when when you're in the grocery store
aisle and you see like bananas among the cookies right there,
like a decision was made, like the bananas and buy
I believe in the bananas. I'm taking the cookies. So

(01:14:47):
that's what she kind of thought about this purse is like,
I'm not gonna take I'm not gonna buy the purse
because I need the baby stuff. Okay. So the woman
was like, you know what, I'm going to buy a
one hundred dollars gift card and she hid it in
the diapers and it just she kind of wrote a
note like you deserve the purse because she was like,

(01:15:09):
you know what, the next time a woman buys something,
she's gonna get a little treat and just to get
yourself something because she understands how hard it is for
moms to kind of get something for themselves, sure, because
they're sacrificing for their kids. Right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
I love the sentiment. That's nice.

Speaker 1 (01:15:26):
That's a really nice sentiment. So uh, and so she,
you know, she had a pretty decent following on social media,
and so she naturally posted it on TikTok and she
was like, you know what, if you have the means
and can you know, do it yourself, maybe think about
doing it. And so people did, and so they were like,
you know what, they could have, what they could afford

(01:15:47):
maybe twenty dollars whatever. They were putting it inside diapers. Well,
I guess what happens. People were just destroying diners formula
just to take, not to buy the formula, just to
get and look for whatever was in there. And so,
you know, obviously then she was, you know, telling people,

(01:16:10):
I'm really disappointed. I was just trying to help a
new mom. I just did this yesterday and a target
got ransacked. She says. This behavior feels disrespectful because the
entire initiative is based on mothers giving back and taking
care of themselves while navigating the challenges of parenting. I
think that kind of behavior adds another layer of stress.
Now I have to go to another store because diapers

(01:16:32):
have been damaged or the formula available has been opened.
It distracts from the essence of what we aim to create.
I wish people would stop doing this because it started
off as something so beautiful and pure, but it's been
made into something ugly.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
This is why we can't have nice things.

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
This is why we can have nice things. But then
there was this other aspect. I follow this this guy
on social media. His name is Professor Neil. I don't
know if you guys follow him. If you do, I
love him. He kind of talks about masculinity. I don't
know what kind of professor he is. I don't read
his bile, but he always like takes like these kind

(01:17:08):
of masculine posts and kind of deciphers them for everybody else,
and he's really good at it. Anyways, he took this
thing because apparently guys were getting offended right, like, oh,
they deserve the purse and all the sorts of things.
And he was saying, you know, the only reason why
you're offended is because you're not buying the formula. Like,
if you bought the diapers, you could have gotten the money,

(01:17:32):
you could have gotten it. But you're delegating the buying
of the diapers and the buying of the formula to
the woman. Now, if you didn't do that, it wouldn't
just be for the woman, it would be for you
as well, which I thought was just, you know, really
good take on the whole entire thing. I don't know
if he's really a professor. I think he is, uh,

(01:17:54):
but yeah, I just I was this is why we
can't have nice things. What would you do, though, Kim,
you were like buying something and found money inside, like
formula or a diaper. I mean, I just feel like
moms do have it hard like that I need. I've

(01:18:16):
experienced it, like I never put back a first but
I usually buy things I can afford at the time
I can afford it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
But I definitely have not purchased things for myself because
I know that I have one hundred dollars year book
to buy or a homecoming dresser by absolutely, and that's
okay because I can do without it, Like I don't
need that, I don't need extras. It's fine. I'm not
going anywhere anyway. It's okay. But I think it's a
nice thing to do. And I'm sorry that people weren't
able to see it for what it was and that

(01:18:44):
they didn't just let it be, you know, because that
would that would have been a movement that I could
have seen growing and being really lovely and a way
to kind of like the pay it forward and the
drive through line at Starbucks where you buy the thing
for the person behind.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
You or what have you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:59):
Just really I hate that, I really do.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
I hate it, people, because then the next.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
Thing exactly, don't do it. It dies with me. I'm
just letting you know, does that make me a terrible reason?
I don't want you buy my coffee because I don't
want to buy anybody else's so I did not ask
you to buy my coffee. Do not buy my coffee.
I can buy you know what. I don't ever even
do it anyway because I don't go through the driver.
But I'm just telling you, don't buy my coffee. I
didn't ask for it. It dies with me. Stupid Calvin says,

(01:19:31):
donate to your local charity instead of gifting secretly.

Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
Ricky thinks it sounds like a prank, like this is
just something to get clout.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
Which.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
You know, the pessimist in me always thinks that too,
Like I'm such a pessimist with social media nowadays because
everyone's trying to do things for clouds. So let's just
I know, probably I don't know. I don't know. I know.
Oh look, Heather hates it too, Thank you, Heather. I
hate it. It dies with me. It dies with me.
I do not like. But I don't go through the

(01:20:01):
drive there anymore anyway. I always order things in my app.
Just leaning alone with that crap. It's so stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
I found the picture.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Oh okay, what's the picture of of the Perth Brooks. Oh,
oh gosh, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
I was on a mission finally popped up.

Speaker 1 (01:20:19):
Okay, let's see, it's not that big.

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
It's just it's just a moment that I thought it
was nice.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, it is a nice picture.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
Yeah he was nice. He was nice at that moment.
So I hope, I hope he didn't really do the
things he's being accused of.

Speaker 1 (01:20:33):
I know, it is so disappointing, you know, I don't look,
I'm just gonna say this. I don't think again, it's
just allegations against Garth brook Brooks. I don't think it's
in the same vein as like Newsome with power. But

(01:20:53):
do you think that sometimes, like male celebrities, because I
don't know about women, but maybe women too, do you
think that they just don't realize that people don't want
to see their junk? Like do you think that it's
just this idea of I'm Garth Brooks or I'm filling
the blank celebrity, like, of course you want to see
my junk. Isn't that kind of thing? Like, of course,

(01:21:14):
because there has to be I'm not a celebrity, But
can you imagine like being a rock star or whatever,
country star and thinking, of course they want to see
my ass, right, But I'm just thinking out loud. Maybe
he thinks people want to see him. Am I wrong here?
Am I thinking just.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
Well, yeah, do you think you're special if you're celebrity? Yeah,
that's so.

Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
Maybe not that it justifies it. But I'm just wondering, like,
if you're in close proximity, you're part of his team,
you do his hair, and he's walking around with his
junk out, maybe he just thinks, like, I'm Darth Brooks Hers,
it's my junk. You're part of my team. You want
to look at it. I mean, it doesn't mean you
have to grab her hands and touch it, if that's
the gation that she's making. But maybe he just thinks that,

(01:22:03):
you know, we're hanging out, I'm hanging out sort of thing.
Not that it's okay. Again, if that's true, he should
be charged with that. But I'm just wondering if these
celebrities are always accused kind of of the same sort
of thing, if they think in some way that because
they're a celebrity, people want to see every part of

(01:22:27):
them and they don't.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
As evidenced by the whole grab him by the peak comment, right,
I don't even care. I don't even ask first, I
just go grab him because everybody wants a piece of me.
Everybody wants my hands on them.

Speaker 1 (01:22:39):
Right, No, exactly, and Ray says I'm special and my
stuff stays in my five zho once exactly exactly. Well,
I really hope all the allegations against Garth Brooks, you know,
I really hope the allegations against if he did he
aren't true because they're absolutely horrific. But I'm actually thinking
that a lot of that stuff is true because it

(01:23:00):
seems to be. It seems to me that they actually
have a lot of evidence against the dude, which is
really really freaking sad. So ooh that list is supposed
to come out in the next thirty days. All right,
