Speaker 1 (00:06):
Live from the counterculture Wise newsroom.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
It's interviews to the Max with your favorite interviewer and mine,
Maximilian von Riegelbezer.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Thank you, Larry.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
I am filled with pride to the tip of my
stripey Orange ears to bring you tonight's guest. From what
I have been seeing, all of Hollywood and DC is
on the cutting edge of medical information, and tonight's guest
is no exception. We are going to get the latest
on the COVID nineteen pandemic recovery from none other than
that lifelong politician and TV doctor Anthony Grouci.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
That's saucy. Wait a minute, why am.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I talking to a cat? I would think that someone
with your self described intelligence would have read the fine
print when you signed the agreement. But no matter, I
think you will find me as good an interviewer as
those on MSNBC, CNN or any other network with lower
ratings than ours.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Fine, fine, let's get on with it. Thank you, good sir.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Now, please repeat for our gentle listeners your advice to
anyone concerning the wearing of masks to fight the COVID
nineteen virus.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
It's a good idea for people to wear masks in
areas of the country with low vaccination rates, even if
they themselves are vaccinated.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, doctor Rauchie, I appreciate that, but doesn't that contradict
what you said just a few months ago when you
stated that we don't need to wear masks if we
have been vaccinated. Yes, but you see, which contradicts what
you said before that when you said that everyone.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Should wear masks.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yes, I know, but which contradicts what you said before that,
when you said that only people exposed to COVID or
those who exhibited symptoms should wear them.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Well, Max, that's easy to explain.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
I'm all pointy ears good doctor.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I based what I said each time on the information
that was available at that time. When new data comes in,
we need to adapt. It's part of the scientific method,
mister cat Ah. But then there's that batch of email
which contradicts your contradictions, and they even contradict each other.
Come on, Max, These emails also indicate that you were
told early on that the virus may have originated in

(02:11):
a lab and woohoo, which Mumpsey said clear back in
twenty nineteen, but was told she was crazy. That's wohn ah.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yes, I have had a similar conversation with someone about
this before now woo who would have been a much
better name. But that was out of my control, thank god.
Never mind that you initially chose to tell the public
that you believed it was not man made, then you
said it might have been. You don't seem to stick
to a story at all. It's a scientific method. I

(02:39):
already told you that. So what you're telling me, fine fellow,
is that the scientific method involves flipping like a flapjack.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Every other day. Ah, good sir. I cannot help but
feel that you have been lying.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
No, damn it, I'm not lying. I get new information
from the CDC and based my announcements on the infull
A provide the CDC.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
What does that say for the Crazy Doctor Company?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Listen, smart ass, chronically dumb chemists, Hey, criminally deficient communicators.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
It's a center for disease control, a thousand pardons, doctor slouchy.
But that still doesn't completely explain why you told so
many people so many different things about wearing masks, where
the virus originated, or even what its symptoms were, especially
at the beginning.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well, as I've told other journalists, we were concerned that
medical professionals would run out of masks and other critical
medical equipment.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
So you are lying.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, I was balancing the scientific research with a need
to protect the medical community.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
So you were lying.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
No, I'm simply trying to protect as many people as possible,
So you were lying. Listen you you have every single
thing wrong.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Every single thing. I find that very hard to believe.
For example, Max, I'm the chief medical officer for the
White House, not as you said, a TV doctor. My apologies,
Officer Crouchy, I did not know you took on patients.
What kind of ailments do you treat? I haven't actually
ever seen patients. Then what sort of lab do you
work in? Oh, it must be so fascinating to discover

(04:12):
new cures and preventive measures. I've never worked in a lab,
although I did send millions of dollars to the one
in Wuhan. Wait, you sent money to the wooho lab.
Woo han, you little monster.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Whether woo hoo, woo hon or whoopsie. This doesn't paint
you or them in the best light. Why would they
even have you heading up the battle on COVID. I
know I'm just a cat, but even I can see
a conflict of interest when I see.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
One, because I'm the most trusted doctor in America.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
But you don't see patients, you don't work in a lab,
and from my research, I see you also made multiple
mistakes in dealing with the AIDS virus forty years ago.
I've already told you so. You were a doctor in
name only, much like missus Biden. Other than getting paid
more than any other government official to lie, what is
it that you actually do? Mister slouchy, you.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Screw this. I'm out of here.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Next patient, please, This is Maximilian von Rigobizer. Tune in
next time for another interview to the Max. Welcome to

(07:13):
a hot.

Speaker 7 (07:13):
Toddy and I want to apologize in advance because it's
like last week, this cough is very stubborn. I'm actually
going to a doctor, which I don't really like doing,
especially since i'm starting, you know, started this new day job.
But they're very understanding, so I'm gonna go ahead and
get this, hopefully, get this take care of us.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
They probably listen to you hack your lungs up all day.
Stop poking, poking, stop smoking a packa day. So yeah, Jim,
sounds like the character in the movie that dies, so
we get him looked at because it's always momsy and
then the kid dies.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
So yeah, yeah, I don't want I don't want the
love story thing.

Speaker 6 (07:58):

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Bye everybody. Now we are about to approach fifteen years
that we've known each other. Yes, and we're co hosts.
And you know, things aren't always easy, you know, when
you're in a couple, it's hard work.

Speaker 8 (08:41):
It's it's worth it, especially with you.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
Yeah, with me, I'm not.

Speaker 8 (08:46):
I am no walk in the park gym is hi made.

Speaker 5 (08:49):
But I think that I am entitled to give out
some good advice. So about romance, So, okay, good romance
always starts with good friendship, Am I right?

Speaker 6 (08:59):
Absolutely?

Speaker 5 (09:00):
Okay? Bad romance starts with.

Speaker 9 (09:02):
Raw raw Man's Now that song is going to be
pounding around.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
In her head for the next two hours of our show,
So enjoy.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
Romans.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
I like her, I admit the politics. Jack. I find
her attractive and she's.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
A She's real, real talented.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
I am talented lady.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
She is very and and she knew exactly what she wanted.
She went forward and she got it. And you have
to hand it to her. She was hard to get
the marketing genius.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
This is true. She learned a lot from from her protege,
Madonna her Madonna, or is Madonna her mentor?

Speaker 6 (10:00):
She is everything that Madonna could have been if Madonna
had talent.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
Oh, I'm not going to the views expressed my I mean,
she's not my favorite singer by any stretch of the
imagination tunes. Yeah, but you know, don't even write her
own stuff. She did, yeah, almost all of it.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
I know, I know Gaga does.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yeah, she does absolutely. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:27):
I think the very first time, I mean I'd heard
of Gaga and I knew like Papa Razzi and bad romance,
but then I saw her play the piano and seeing
just her the piano, and it's like chicks got there's
no modulation no, no auto tune.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
Remember show she was kind of paying a tribute to
Elton John because she had the I think it was
that like a check black and white check.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Yeah, yeah, and then the platforms.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Ye.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
But if you're on the fence, go watch her do
her tribute to Julia.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
Why can I not think of her last name, Julie Andrews.

Speaker 6 (11:13):
Julie, thank you, That's what it was, because I thought
Julia and I couldn't get to Julie Andrews the a
came before.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
Yeah, she did.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
The tribute and she was absolutely determined to do it
in the same key.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Which that is not something most singers can do. The
look on miss Andrews'.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
Faces, Missus andrews face, Oh yeah. Can you imagine going
your entire career looking up to somebody like that and
then being able to not only pay tribute to her,
but actually.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
Move her, move her.

Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
Julie Andrews and her husband Blake Edwards, the movie director
who did all the Pink Panther movies back in the
sixties and seventies. What a talent to a couple.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
You know, the weirdest things you just you know the
weirdest things, these fascinating weird things.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
Well fascinating.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
Speaking of fascinating weird things, we plays you a little
bit of retro something some just because you know it's
in the neighborhood of well, let's just say we have
a tendency to tell the future a little bit here
at Counterculturalise.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
I never meant to be a prophet, so well.

Speaker 6 (12:31):
Actually this one was my idea that we have another
episode of, and now counter culture Wise is proud to present.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
God that's about as high as my voice goes.

Speaker 6 (12:52):
Yeah, so here is a classic called it because we
called it. Now understand, this was twenty.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
Twenty I believe it was, yeah, twenty two, and we did.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
Not know anything about Hunter at this point. We knew him,
probably would have called that too.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, my fellow Armenians, this is your president elect, Jill's husband.
I'm so proud and honored to be or not quite
senator congressman what oh yeah, president? But I will be soon.

(13:35):
Isn't that great? Well it is for me anyway. I mean,
I've been trying for half a century. It's my turn,
just like Hillary. Now, why am I up here? Oh yeah,
to announce my agenda for my first thousand days in office.
Camelto Carmelita Kamal Hall has told me what we're going

(13:56):
to do. This is our h I mean you. I
will put us right back into the Paris Accordion, whether
you like French polka music or not. I will apologize
to China and Ukraine for ever doubting them. I will
bomb North Korea. I will remind Jerusalem and Palestine is
right and there wrong. I will implant huh, implement the

(14:19):
new green green new. Oh you know the thing, cow
farts and stuff. Cows have hairy legs.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
No, huh.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
But in order to do these things, I need to
make sure I'm fully and legally able to do so.
So before I do the stuff I have already forgotten
about promising you, I need to pardon myself. Excuse me?

Speaker 6 (14:49):
Yeah, stay on, mess.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
X, I love you, you love me. You're my best friend's
grand babies. No, no, yeah, the thing here goes Hi
Joseph Biden, Jill's husband being unsound in mind and body,
do hereby and forever relinquish my rights. No wait, that
isn't right. Oh yeah, do hereby pardon myself, my wife,

(15:15):
my children, my Baraque, my Ukraine, my China, and Mama,
my Sharona.

Speaker 6 (15:20):
And your tax and you're.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Clitteris for any wrongdoing we may have committed in the past,
and especially any we or our successor Kamas Sutra Harris
might commit in the not too distant future. In God's name,
we pray play ball. I want to do it. I
can't wait for August twenty fourth. What's that? Oh yeah,

(15:43):
January twentieth, That's what I meant. I promise you this
will be the best abomination day ever. So before I
take my hourly nap, I want to thank you one
more time for making me your city council and elect.
May God bless you all, and God bless the United
States of Romania. That's a lid.

Speaker 6 (16:08):
Please click the big red button. It really helps.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
Wait, what are you doing.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
I'm doing that thing at the end where I tell
people to like and subscribe.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
That's great, but you don't need to sound like the
other guy. Besides, we're not British.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
Well I mean it really works for him.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well it works for him, but not for us.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
We gotta do something original.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
I got nothing.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
Oh, let's try this then.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Please prush the red button.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
Alat Hey if I can't be British, you can't be Scottish.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
All right, well let's try this one then.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Will go to the website and push the red button.

Speaker 6 (16:39):
Mummy, Okay, that just gave me the creeps.

Speaker 10 (16:42):
Please go to our website copyright notice. Now how about this, Hey,
give us money, borrow crap, keep food in our bellies,
kibble in our bowls, and for goodness sake, be.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
Behind classic And yeah we nailed it. And yes he did.
And his children, although you know, not by.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
Name, but not by name, nailed it. We nailed it.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
Freaking and this is not the kind of thing I
want to nail. By the way, I was really hoping
Biden would be an effective leader. I was hoping you
would have some integrity.

Speaker 6 (17:18):
Well, we weren't voting against America. Yeah, unfortunately everybody else did.
So you want to read a little bit about this,
what this means, because this guy, what he's getting away with.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
It's pretty awful. Now I'm going to start by saying,
if it is true, as everybody is asserting that he
has been cleaning sober for five years, hey buddy, congratulations,
keep up the good work. And that's about where it is.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
Because you get sober doesn't mean you shouldn't have to.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
Pay for Oh, I know, I know, I'm just starting.

Speaker 8 (17:53):
I know, I'm agreeing with you.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
You owed the irs five bucks and they are chasing
your ass down.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
That's true.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
This guy gets away scott free, I know.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Anyway, Joe Biden had long pledge that he would not
pardon the son Hunter, who is set to be sentenced
this month for gun and tax convictions. But on Sunday
he did a Biden last Sunday. Not with this Sunday, I.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
Want to make an abundantly flur Yeah. I don't really
care he's pardon I really don't. We all knew he
was going to do it.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
Yeah, anybody who thought that he was going to stick
to his word, especially on something like this, has rocks
for brains.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
You have this big of a scumbag as a kid,
what choice do you have? In fact, Hunter is probably
blackmailing his own dad to.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
Make sure he got the It wouldn't I wouldn't hold it.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
I mean he calls his own father pedal pete. Yeah,
I know, okay, but that's not what we're upset about. No,
there's two things that we're upset about. Well, I wouldn't
even say upset because I kind of don't even care anymore.
One is that all of the liberal media is pretending that,
you know, this is good and Trump is evil and
he's a convicted fella, which, by the way, he is not.

(19:09):
Trump is not a convicted fella, and anybody who thinks
he is is woefully ignorant the situation. But of the
law and the things that they brought him up on,
they had to invent charges, change the law, bring him
up on misdemeanors that nobody has ever ever brought up on,

(19:30):
and turned it into something that it wasn't. So they
literally had to move They basically pulled a labyrinth. They
had to change time and space and heaven and hell
to get what they wanted and for totally pardon the pun,
trumped up charges that nobody, nobody has ever been charged for.

(19:52):
And then the other one was a situation where everybody
was happy. The bank was happy that you know, investors
were happy, everybody was there been.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
With Trump for forty plus years.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
Yeah, because there was no victims, and they brought it
up and you know, yeah, but there and then you
look at who, you know, you always consider the source.
Look at who brought up these charges. They couldn't even
keep it in their pants long enough to vi all
the paperwork for crying out. Wow.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
My favorite, My favorite outburst was Woopy Goldberg on The Few,
The Few, The Yuck when when one of the other
panelists said that Hunter Biden.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
Yeah, I'm not I don't I don't think we should
call it. I'm not calling it a lie anymore. I
don't give a crap what you're calling it. You corn
rolled freak. He did lie. That is the definition of lie.
And that's the other thing. Is we spent And I'm
not going to play the montage, but oh my goodness,

(20:56):
there's one. I think it's like forty five minutes of
the press just going on and on and on fawning
over how he's not going to pardon his own son
because he has all this integrity and blah blah blah.
And most of us don't watch that garbage. We don't
even own a television, so we didn't see that. But
there were people being fed a steady diet of this,

(21:18):
and are they having that moment? Is anybody out there,
because I'm thinking of a particular person in our family,
do you think she's ever had that moment where she's
ingesting what is literally fake news and enough that that she,

(21:38):
you know, left the room when we were trying to say, well,
actually no, that didn't happen here, I've got prooved, no
your theater, you're an idiot, timofoil hap bah bah blah.
Left the room. It's like, but here's the video we
can show you, but I'm not interested, blah blah. Okay,
whatever is Is there ever a moment where somebody like
that is watching the news where they literally do a

(22:02):
one eighty and they think.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
I've been duped.

Speaker 6 (22:09):
I've been duped. There's two personality types. One we've seen
a few of that that after that vile blonde dude
that's always screaming into the camera that was calling Trump
all those names. But I got to give them credit
where curtains due. He's like, this wasn't even true. We

(22:29):
were lied to and and then you feel like you
go through the seven stages of grief and you come
out the other side either pissed, which I think is
what happened to Tulci. She's just like pissed, and then
of course they all dogpiled on her, and that's what

(22:50):
happens too if you stray away from the plantation, they're
they're going to be out for I mean, for God's sake,
too far off the try anyways. And then the other
personality type is the triple down mm hm, and the
cognitive dissonance settles in and it's so strong that it
cannot be overcome. And those are the scariest ones.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
They don't. It's like that there used to be a
T shirt you could get that says, don't confuse me
with the facts. And I used to find that funny,
and now it's like we need to.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Put that, we need to have that on our on.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
Our Okay, so we will soon have our merchant.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
Don't confuse me with the facts.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
Don't confuse me with the facts.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
And ideas for how that design.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
As long as it fits our strict standards. I'm kidding.

Speaker 6 (23:36):
Yeah, well, I'm re releasing the troll in chief line. Yeah,
this time, we're gonna have not just you know, T
shirts and hoodies, but we're gonna have socks, We're gonna
have in fact, pet food bowls we're gonna have. We're
gonna have it all. And I think I'm going to
actually specially design. I can get what am I trying

(24:00):
to say?

Speaker 5 (24:02):
Leggings hmmm, chief, Wow, trolling Chief leggings. You're not going
to be able to get that anywhere else, but counterculture wise,
we'll be.

Speaker 6 (24:11):
Putting that together as well as our Holy crap, this
is actually happening merchandise. And you know, Chuck, I got
a hand it to him. He's in there, just calmly
and coolly reporting about World War Three. He's just he's nervous.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
He still likes to throw one back with me every
now and then. It's no longer.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
It's different now.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
Yeah, it's just we're celebrating. It's more like we're just
paling around rather than having to.

Speaker 8 (24:37):
Say, Charles, he still calm down.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
It's not the end, no matter what happens.

Speaker 6 (24:43):
Well, you can't say it's not the end of the
world because it literally has been for and we're still
on the precipice. You know, we've got a few few
more weeks yet than.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Leaving for Russia. That's going to be an interesting take,
but Chuck will talk more about that.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
You check out our holy crap this is actually happening
YouTube page, but we also send it out, of course,
to everywhere that videos can be found.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
So let's talk for just a few moments about this
for anybody.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
Anyway, what is a pardon?

Speaker 5 (25:15):
Anyway? The US Constitution says, well, let me talk firstly
about what he did or was accused of committing. He
was convicted in June of lying on a federal form
when he purchased a gun in twenty eighteen and swore
that he wasn't a drug user.

Speaker 6 (25:29):
And that's enough to send any of us.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
Yeah, we'd be in jail.

Speaker 6 (25:32):
I'm so sick of here. Hope his name was Joe Blow.
He wouldn't be. Yeah he would yeah, yeah, yeah he
was months later, and that he would have been all
this time.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Just months later, he pleaded guilty the charges, accusing him
of a scheme to avoid paying at least one point
four million in taxes. Prosecutors alleged he lived lavishly while
flouting the tax law. Will most rich people try to
do that? I won't, I won't. I'll give him that,
and spending his cash on things like strippers and luxury hotels.
In short, everything but his taxes. Both cases stemmed from

(26:03):
a period and hunt Buden's life in which he struggled
with drug and alcoholic. Doesn't seem like they're struggling, but
he was fully embracing it. But anyway, before becoming sober
in twenty nineteen, once again, please, for the love of God,
stay sober no matter what's going on. You know that
that's that's important. After the gun trial is.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
The White House?

Speaker 5 (26:25):
I think it was Joe's. I was just bloody. I
think it was Joe. It was Joe blow. I think
it really was. After the gun trial aired solations and
unflattering details about on January twentieth, it will cease to matter. Honestly. Yeah,
it's it's that whole ragged episode will be over with.

(26:46):
We just have to deal with the aftermath and pick
up the pieces and clean up, which, knowing Trump and
this amazing cabinet he's putting together, it's not going to
take more than six months.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
The Liberals just their schisel, which just like makes me
like a more.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
After the gun trial aired solatious and flattering details about
Hunter Biden's life, the president's son said he agreed to
plead guilty the tax charges to spare his family.

Speaker 6 (27:18):
The guy that banged his dead brother's widow.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
Okay, bang bang, he shot me down. Bang bang anyway.
The US Constitution, you asked earlier, what is the pardon anyway?
The US Constitution says that the president has the power
to grant clemency, which includes both pardons and commutations. A
pardon forgives federal criminal offenses. A commutation reduces penalties, but

(27:47):
isn't a sweeping The power has its roots in English law,
or say the king could grant mercy to anyone, and
it made it over the ocean to the American colonies
and stuck around. The Supreme Court of the UN has
found the president's of pardon authority to be very broad,
and presidents use the power a lot. Donald Trump granted
two hundred and thirty seven acts of clemency during his

(28:10):
four years in office, and Barack Obama granted clemency one
nine and twenty seven times in his eight years. Presidents
have forgiven drug offenses, fraud convictions, and Vietnam era draft
dodgers as well. They should. It was that's to leave
that alone among many of our children to die. But
a president can only grant pardons for federal offenses, not

(28:33):
state ones. Impeachment convictions also aren't pardonable, so that's really
the meat and potatoes of it.

Speaker 6 (28:42):
Well, just he mighty lucky for old Hunter that every
single thing he did was a federal felony.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
Uh you know, once again, does that include treason?

Speaker 6 (28:55):
Can you pardon treason?

Speaker 5 (28:57):
No? Treason, even even in the twenty twenty four treason
is punishable by the death penalty.

Speaker 6 (29:05):
I have no comment.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
Yeah, nor do I. There are two reasons that he
broke his That Biden lied, whoopee lied, Miss Goldberg. I'm
sorry he didn't lie. I told him mistruth. He stretched
the truth.

Speaker 8 (29:21):
He changed his opinion, changed.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
His opinion based on the scientific evidence that was available.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
Or as Max would say, you were lying.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
Thanks Max.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
I having him in the room.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
Yeah, he's great. So in the statement Presidents, well, it
was because he felt that this was a political a
political move, which okay, he can see that. I mean
I I.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
Can't though, because Biden is the one who weaponized his
own DOJ to go after Trump. Biden is the current
commander in chief. It's his Department of Justice that and
they won't even going after him. It's not like they

(30:12):
were seeking you know, give me a man, I'll show
you the crime. The dude threw a gun in a
dumpster behind a school that the dude was broadcasting using
tax dollars for hookers in blow and underage hookers. The
dude kept leading his laptops every darn were.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
Taking selfies of himself smoking crack.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
That's what you do when you know you will never
face any consequences.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
Well, that's true.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
He knew it then and he knows it now. And
all you have to do is look at the smug
look on his face.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
He's the epitome of and I've said this on numerous podcasts,
it's like the highest elevated version of the mayor's son
who like burns down buildings, but because he's the mayor's son,
nobody does anything about it.

Speaker 6 (31:18):
Or that's what is.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
United dang States.

Speaker 6 (31:25):
And part of me wonders, okay, was placing you know,
basically a cabbage in office, knowing full well that he
did not have the ability to run the nation. He
barely had the ability to zip his fly. Was the
trade off knowing that he had no say in anything

(31:46):
and he was just a puppet that he knew his
children would be protected.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
We'll never know, they'll never tell us.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
Meanwhile, we're laundering several more billion through Ukraine, so that
he can retire, and his kids can retire, and his
kids kids can retire, except for the one that they
won't claim.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
You know, well, it took the stripper that he.

Speaker 8 (32:12):
It took a lot for him to But I'm so
sick of.

Speaker 6 (32:16):
Talking hearing about oh, decency this and decency that. And
you look there, look, you compare the Obama's kids and
the Biden's kids, the Clinton's kids even and Trump's kids.
If Baron doesn't end up being president, he's gonna end
up being probably in the neighborhood of another Elon Musk.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
He strongly resembles his father both kid looks. You know,
I mean, you can I mean compared to obama As

(33:00):
kids and Trump's kids, who were you know, so far
as as so far as I know, I haven't been
involved in any funny business, and I mean funny business
by any kind of crimes or anything.

Speaker 6 (33:16):
Well, if anything happened to or with Obama's kids, you
wouldn't know, because they wouldn't tell you. But you look
at Kamala's step kid. She's a blue haired psychotic.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
I have no I think I've seen a picture of
her once and I still don't care.

Speaker 6 (33:33):
Because Sama's girls. I guess are you know, Hoot smoking
taking whatever?

Speaker 5 (33:39):
I don't know, you know, Daffy and Elmer's kids. I
don't really care about them because they're not going to
be They're not They're not going to be in the
White House much longer, and well two walls won't be
at all?

Speaker 6 (33:52):
Is that a racist joke making her a black?

Speaker 5 (33:55):
You know, I took a calculated risk because she is
always she's always cackling.

Speaker 6 (34:02):
Well maybe I like cackles and fuds. She reminds me
more of of.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
A wichy pooh like WITCHI poo from hr puffer, suffer
which Hazel from the Hazel?

Speaker 6 (34:12):
Which Hazel? Which Hazel?

Speaker 5 (34:14):
Yeah, she takes off and all the bobby pins are
flying around. One of my favorite characters.

Speaker 6 (34:21):
She was funny.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
Yeah, my poops, what was his name? Paul?

Speaker 6 (34:30):
You remind me of my pet spider Paul, like.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
The great June for a great great voice actress.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
Anyway, anybody would have a pet tarantula, it would be Kamala.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Yeah, and just.

Speaker 6 (34:47):
Say the words Kamala in one sentence is kind of fun.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
Com coma coma.

Speaker 6 (34:52):
Comma You came in, Went Your time has one point spend.

Speaker 8 (35:03):
How I am absolutely flabbergasted.

Speaker 6 (35:09):
I mean, that's all I have to say. Beyonce.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
Look, I like Beyonce, but.

Speaker 6 (35:18):
What the heck bron didn't even sing?

Speaker 5 (35:21):
I know, I mean I would I think the kind
of money that she blew yes Blue to have he
showed his people on. I mean she should have at
least sung one song.

Speaker 6 (35:32):
There is one thing Hama was good good at. It's blowing.
She can blow money, she can blow senators, she can
blow the nation.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
Well blow off. On January twentieth, I'm done with.

Speaker 6 (35:48):
As my mother would say, may she blow up and
dry away. I wish no ill on her.

Speaker 5 (35:56):
No, I don't.

Speaker 6 (35:56):
I mean she's a huge part of me that really
feels thank.

Speaker 5 (35:59):
You for your service, golf, Okay, let me service.

Speaker 6 (36:02):
She really literally has not done a single thing for
anybody ever, not not a good thing. I mean she's
done things, trust me, She's done things to people, but
nothing good. I feel sorry for her though, because her
career is She's probably gonna go on the speaking circuit
now and probably make pajillions of dollars, as.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Most former politicians do.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
All day.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
And I think I said this last week too. There
were a lot of people who voted for Kamala.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
Nobody voted.

Speaker 5 (36:38):
Please let me finish. Nobody voted, all right?

Speaker 6 (36:42):
Is that a promise a threat?

Speaker 5 (36:44):
Both?

Speaker 6 (36:46):
Okay, guys, let's we're going to play some commercials.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
I love you, I love you, all right now, I
lost my train of thought. Thank you so much.

Speaker 6 (36:57):
I love your front. When he took people people people, fortunately.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
People people who eat people on the.

Speaker 6 (37:11):
People, Okay, sorry, I'm behaving myself.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
Everybody was talking about, oh, it would be so nice
to have a woman of color in office and in
the White House. Really, there is an outstanding chance that
either in twenty twenty eight or twenty thirty two that
seems like a billion years from now, Tulca Gabbard will
run for president and they won't say nothing about nobody,

(37:36):
no women, being of color, none of that. The word
Russia will show up continually.

Speaker 6 (37:44):
Has she ever even been there?

Speaker 8 (37:46):
I have no freaking clue.

Speaker 6 (37:48):
Because Biden went back and forth to Ukraine like he
had a.

Speaker 5 (37:52):
Oh he has, he has, he has a deal going
on up until January nineteenth. Oh Yeah, so well, AnyWho,
enough about dum dingbats.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
Do you think there's gonna be a liberal version of
January twentieth where they actually do damage to buildings down
and kill people like we did not do.

Speaker 5 (38:12):
I hope not.

Speaker 6 (38:13):
I truly hope not.

Speaker 5 (38:14):
But then again, I mean you have to you look
at the numbers. And I'm not talking about the extra
twenty million votes that Biden got somehow that aren't there
this time. I'm talking about your rank and file Americans,
the hardworking people, the backbone of our nation. A lot
of them flipped for Trump because I mean, I I

(38:39):
don't think that there's gonna be as huge because I
know people have switched. I know people who said, yeah,
you know something, No, just no, I can't have I
mean maybe they've said to me in confidence, maybe they've
just you know, they just voted quietly for Trump.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
Well that's the nice thing about this round is we
don't have to hide it.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Right. Well, it was decisive. I mean, he flipped all
seven of the battleground states. It makes you feel kind
of useless if you don't live in a battleground states,
like you really don't have any control. Just Texas is
going to be a Republican.

Speaker 6 (39:16):
Although that made you completely useless when I was in
Nevada because I knew my vote meant nothing.

Speaker 5 (39:21):
Well, it's in Nevada at least back then. I don't know.
Hopefully they've changed the laws. But they didn't even ask
us for our IDs.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
The last time we voted that they went one better.
They would flash your address to the whole room full
of people behind you. I'm like, uh, hello, I'm a
battered spouse who kind of doesn't want not by me,
not by you, who kind of doesn't want everybody actress. Yeah,

(39:50):
my husband, my brain is a battered spouse. But you know,
Jim is a battered spouse. But he's the one who
does the battery.

Speaker 5 (39:58):
So when I take the chicken and put it in
the batter, we fry it up nice and pretty.

Speaker 6 (40:03):
Yes, he beats the eggs and whips the cream. He's
meanest cooking.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
Screw it chicken bake.

Speaker 6 (40:10):
Anyway, we're in a weird mood.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
We are a very odd mood today.

Speaker 6 (40:15):
I don't swear on all that is holy. We are
smoking nothing. No, but I mean, it has been a really.

Speaker 5 (40:21):
Long In full disclosure, I've had a couple of hot toddies, mostly.

Speaker 6 (40:27):
For my throat, and I'm a contact girl.

Speaker 5 (40:30):
Really cheap whiskey. I had never seen this before it
is called seagrums eighty three. Well, of course I had seagrums,
but not eighty three. Not a sponsor, not a sponsor.
It would be kind of iffy to have them as
a sponsor. We usually say, not a sponsor, we'd love
to have them.

Speaker 6 (40:49):
Do you know how many of our listeners are typing
hashtags save the keyboard as we speak, no kidding, no
wine shall touch this keyboard.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
But I had a couple of these because my friends. Yeah,
he's been insane. Seriously, I'm so I feel, I feel okay, now,
I don't think I'm an cough up along.

Speaker 6 (41:08):
Wait, you know, and I spent the whole day trying
to get the microphones to work. Yeah, it's been and
you know, please God, please let the microphone said it
will be so No he didn't. We don't know yet.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
Well, I mean it seemed to be working anyway.

Speaker 6 (41:25):
We're good.
