Is It Time to Invoke the 25th Amendment? | Karel Cast
Donald Trump’s latest post targeting Rob Reiner has shocked even longtime Republicans — and for many, it feels like the moment where denial finally ends. This is no longer about political disagreement. It’s about fitness, stability, and responsibility.
On today’s episode of The Karel Cast, we examine the growing concerns about Trump’s health, behavior, and ability to govern. This is a man with access to nuclear codes — someone most people wouldn’t trust to babysit a child — yet elected officials continue to look the other way. Why?
The Constitution provides a mechanism for moments like this: the 25th Amendment. That responsibility falls to the Cabinet — but will they act? Or are fear, money, and loyalty to MAGA preventing them from doing their duty, even as polls show Trump’s own base beginning to turn?
We’ll talk about political cowardice, constitutional accountability, and why so many leaders refuse to act even when the warning signs feel impossible to ignore.
Plus: with Christmas Eve just days away, are you ready — emotionally, mentally, and practically — for the holidays?

What time is it time to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment.
We are going to talk about this when we start

Speaker 4 (01:00):
It is the Croll Cast.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
I am Correl, so very glad you are joining me
on this Tuesday, December sixteenth. Sorry I'm twelve minutes late.
But stuff happens, all right. So there's a lot to
talk about in this world of ours. But before I
begin with the searing topic of the twenty fifth Amendment
and why any politician in Washington, d C. Should be

(01:22):
seriously considering it, I have to say just you know,
you know that I listened to a lot of music,
and this morning Apple suggested seventies movie film scores and
soundtrack songs, and so all morning before I went to
the park, and then on my return from the park
where a gentleman had a sword. You know, I'm not

(01:44):
making this up. So this guy was at the park,
dogs went past him. He grabbed a golf club and
threatened to kill the dogs started going after the people.
I'm trying not to get involved, you know. And then
another him in there gets involved and says, you know,
stop this, You're not We're not gonna let you do this.

(02:05):
So the guy goes to the car, the car and
get a sword, a real sword like Indiana Jones's sword,
comes back and threatens people. The police come, they can't
catch him. Well, he was back again today and I
really want to bring my gun and shoot him. And
I've never felt that way before in my life. But

(02:25):
he's threatening people, he's threatening dogs. He has a sword
and I think he would use it, and so I
really want to open carry my gun to the park
and if I see him again and he comes at
me or ember with the sword, shoot him. And I
don't want to feel that way. It is so American

(02:48):
to feel that way, and I don't want to feel
that way. So this morning I was talking with my
friends at the park about maybe we should all pick
a different park because we've been going to this park
for years, but you know, a guy with a sword
showing up more than once. It's like, you know, and

(03:09):
the police, the police aer are lovely, but they can't
always do a lot, and so you know, because he's crazy.
There's just an abundance of crazy. That's what we're talking
about on today's show. There's just an abundance of crazy.
But onto the good part of the seventies soundtracks. I
was listening to can I just definitively say, and I

(03:31):
don't care how old you are, there will never be
another era for movies, for music from movies, both instrumental
and songs like the seventies. There will never be another
era like the seventies. Every song on this playlist I'm

(03:52):
living for It started with Hopelessly Devoted to You by
a Living Newton John. There's Evergreen, There's Tubular Bells from
the Exorcists.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Dun Dun da Dun, Dun, Dun da dun.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
There's so many works by John Williams, from Jaws to
Star Wars, these incredible pieces of music. There's Debbie Boone singing.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
You live up Move.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
I mean, there are so many great songs on this playlist,
and I thought. You know, today's movie suck. Their theme
songs suck. There's no real theme songs from movies or
instrumentals in our era. In the seventies and eighties, the
instrumentals from movies became hits on the radio. How many

(04:40):
gen Z or gen X or Gen Wise or not
gen X, but how many Gen Wives, gen Z's and millennials,
you know if they heard done da da.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Don da dun dun dun dun dun dun da da
dun dunda da dun Dun Dun Dun Dun dun dun
dun da da dun dun don I mean, how many
you you.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Know, there's just there's nothing like movie music from the seventies.
I just want to put it out there. I just
want to put it out there. I was a teenager
in the seventies. I was born in sixty two, and
the music just fucking incredible, just absolutely incredible. And I

(05:22):
am so glad, so very glad that I get to
listen to it and remember it and love it. So anyway,
So that didn't mean to spend a whole segment talking
about that, but there is a lot of crazy in
the world. This guy at the Park. Okay, so when
we come back, we're going to talk about the crazy

(05:43):
in the White House, how everybody knows it, no one's
doing a goddamn thing about it, and it's time somebody
does somebody, mainly the cabin.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
We'll talk about its.

Speaker 7 (05:55):

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Show Time is here. No time to fear.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Correll is so near because show time is here.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
So on with the show.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Let's give it a go. Correll is the one that
you need to.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Know, alrighty. So there's a lot of crazy going on
in the world. We have the two crazies down in
Australia that decided to shoot Jews on the beach. We
have Benjamin NETANYAHUO who is completely in totally insane. We
have the person at Brown University who's completely in totally insane.
We have the guy at my park with a sword

(06:48):
who is completely and totally insane. In fact, all this crazy,
let me have some hot cocoa with cookies and cream
Baileys in it. Vegan, of course, did I drip? I
can't have anything nice. That sums up my life right there.
I am a dripper.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
I've never said that. You can take that however you want,

(07:30):
but I'm a dripper.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
I spill shit on myself all the time, all every day.
I change shirts. I'm sorry, it's not funny, and I

(07:53):
know it's probably TMI, but I'm a dripper. Oh, I'm sorry,
Oh my god. Okay, I want to move on to
all the crazy in the world. In the chat room.
They're still discussed in seventies music because let's be real,

(08:15):
we had the best, the best movie music that there was,
the best owed in part to the legacy of John
Williams Star Wars Jaws.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
To this day, all you have to hear.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Is bottom, bottom, bottom, and you know exactly what that.
It's like you run from the water a dripping and
you know where is this list? Let me, let me
try to find the list.

Where is it? It's here somewhere.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
There just weren't.

And anyone that thinks there was was not just listening

Speaker 4 (13:35):
So yes, Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
I challenge any younger person to come up with as
many hits from movies from the twenty tens or the
two thousands or the twenty twenties as we had in
the seventies. Just doesn't happen. We had the hits and
their hits that have endured right up until this point.

(14:01):
The soundtrack to the Whiz Honey.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
You're a Lion in your Own way be a lie?
Oh yes, do you know?

Speaker 5 (14:12):
I hum that song to myself when I get afraid.
I am not making that up. When I get afraid,
I hear Diana Ross in my head going there is
a place, will go where there is mostly quiet. Oh yeah,
I totally do. Just great music from the seventies, from

(14:36):
movies and films, and I highly recommend if you have
Apple Music, they have a playlist it says music from
the seventies from film and motion pictures. Go and listen
to it and have the time of your life that
I've been having listening to it, because it's just great,
great music.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
And I agree.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
The eighties saw the infiltration of hip hop and rap.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
And that just ruined movie themes.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
You know, the eighties had some good ones, the Goonies
good enough.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
For you, it's good enough.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
So the eighties had some good movie themes. They did
Romancing the Stone, and you know, I could list some
great songs.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
From eighties movies.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
But mid eighties and then the nineties it all went electronic.
It all went They got away from ballads. In the
New Superman movie when they play the just the music too,
can you Read My Mind? The songs she sang when
they were flying together for the first time, they play
that in the New Superman movie when they're flying together.

(15:43):
I cried like a fucking baby, just boo who big
ass tears. All right, we gotta talk about what I
want to talk about today?

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Well, I want to talk. I can talk about this
all day because.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
You know how I love music and my song Corel
I dance because is out and I know you're it
right now, Kril. I danced because please go play it.
I could talk because the world is crazy. Excuse me,
I drift. You want to see where I dripped?

Speaker 4 (16:11):
There?

Speaker 5 (16:11):
See I drift. I'm a dripper. The world is crazy
right now. This last weekend, the world was angrier than
it's been in a while, and the President's response has
been denounced by both Democrats and Republicans, even members of
MAGA Marjorie Taylor Green. They were appalled at what he

(16:34):
said about Rob Reiner and then doubled down on it.
And you crazy starts at the top. Okay, I know
that's an odd thing to say, but our president is
batshit crazy. He has dementia for sure. For months he

(16:57):
has made no sense while public speaking, ramble, loses track
of what he's talking about, makes up words, confabulates. Now, look,
you can love Trump or you can hate him or
anywhere in between, but there comes a point where you
have to look at the man and say, this has

(17:17):
become weekend at Bernie's.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
They are literally propping.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
Up a dying man. Donald Trump is dying. He has
entered the last phase of his life. His heart's giving out,
his veins and his legs are giving out. He's having MRIs.
And motherfucker, if you're having an MRI and you don't
know why you're having the MRI, that's why you're having

(17:43):
the MRI. Does that make sense to you. If you're
having an MRI and you can't remember why you had
the MRI, that's why you have the MRI. And they're
not coming out normal, they're lying to us. He is
dying and they are propping him up and using him

(18:06):
to get what they want the people around him. It's
sad if he wasn't such a despicable character, if it
were happening to Donald Trump. Britney Spears got put into
a conservatorship for much less than what Donald Trump is

(18:27):
saying and doing. In fact, many people have been put
into a conservatorship for much less than the way that
Donald Trump is acting. So why why aren't Democrats vocally
pushing for invoking the twenty fifth Amendment? It would be
very easy to prove he is not physically and mentally

(18:49):
fit to be president. The proof is out there in
the public view every day. Are they afraid of MAGA backlash?
Why is everyone in Washington so afraid of doing their job,
especially Republicans. They haven't made a bill passed for healthcare.

(19:11):
They're harming Americans every day in Washington, d c On
behalf of a sick, dying man. Why why are they
not governing? Why are they listening to the wants and
the whims of a sick, demented, dying man, which is

(19:36):
what Donald Trump is. His post about Rob Reiner was
so narcissistic, sociopathic, and psychotic that alone should be grounds
for the twenty fifth Just that post right there?

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Did you post this? Yes?

Speaker 5 (19:55):
I did? Okay, you gotta be removed. I don't understand.
Everybody around the world sees that Donald Trump is physically
and mentally unfit to be president. Everybody sees that. Nobody
that is being honest And I realize MAGA has a

(20:19):
problem with honesty, but no one that is being honest
thinks he's fit for duty. So why why aren't they?
Is there greed and avarice so overwhelming that they would
exploit a sick, dying man.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
It appears so, it appears so.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
And that's the saddest thing in our government right now,
that we have a sick, dying, demented, seventy nine almost
eighty year old man in office and we are literally
watching him deconstruct lie every day, making a sport of

(21:10):
talking about the bruises on his hand from the ivy,
watching him mix up words, and nobody.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
Does a space.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
Why Okay, when we come back, I'm gonna drip some
more loving the Bailey.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Sat no Is shoes.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
You know, it's gotten to the point where I almost
don't get angry. I mean, I was disgusted yesterday by
what he said about Rob Reiner, but I almost don't
get angry at what he does anymore, because if you've
ever loved somebody with dementia, you realize they're really not

(22:22):
in control of what they're doing. They don't mean to
do what they're doing. I mean, I've seen people with
dementia slap their relatives and say they didn't even know them,
or you know. I mean, it's any of you that
have been a caregiver for someone with dementia know how
horrible it can get and they're not responsible. Donald Trump

(22:46):
is not responsible for his actions now, his cabinet and
Congress are. He is sick. And you know, just like
we shouldn't make fun of anyone with than illness, mental illness, obesity, diabetes, cancer, whatever,
you shouldn't make fun of someone's disabilities, we really shouldn't

(23:10):
make fun of Donald Trump's decay that is undergoing in public.
Trump can't help himself now. He doesn't know right from wrong.
His form of dementia has removed the right from wrong
button in his brain. He didn't know that what he

(23:32):
was posting about Rob Reiner was just reprehensible.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
He really didn't know.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
Because in his brain it was okay, you know, to him.
In his brain it was okay. And the reason they're
all keeping him there like weekend at Bernie's, is money,
the stock market and billionaire. There are now twenty nine

(24:01):
hundred billionaires in the world and they're making a shit
ton of money under Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
You're not.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
I'm not the jobs deport today. Recession is coming. It's here,
but it's full oncoming, and this man is not physically
capable of leading us out of it. And the sad
part is that this man has the nuclear codes. I mean,

(24:32):
that's really scary. A sick, dying man with dementia could
start a world war. That's really scary, you know. And
you know, they the people around him, have to know

(24:54):
that his dementia has gotten this bad.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
They have to know.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
I'm sure privately at the White House it's not almost
like babysitting. They're almost like caregivers. I'm sure he's bipolar.
I'm sure one minute is all for something and the
next minute he's not. We know he's forgetful, and yet
they treat him like a sane, you know, individual to

(25:23):
be listened to. They take his orders and do them,
execute them like they're not the order from a demented man.
I actually pity him, I do. In his mind, he
thinks he's beloved. In his mind, he thinks everybody follows

(25:46):
him because he's right and because he's their warrior. They're
making fun of him behind his back. Republicans and Maga
lawmakers in the halls of Congress are making fun of
Donald Trump. It's like Mitch McConnell. I hate that old fuck,

(26:09):
I really do. But to see him fall in the
Congress like fall to the ground. This man is sick
and infirm and needs to go home. Now they're just
exploiting him. Now, the same with Trump. Any doctor that

(26:31):
wasn't Maga, any real doctor that if a court ordered
a doctor to review Donald Trump's fitness for presidency and
had like a team from the Mayo Clinic go in
and do it, they would not certify him.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
They would not.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
That's why his filter is gone. That's why he's calling
reporters piggy and everything else because of the dementia. His
filter is gone. He can't control what he says. He
literally just says whatever pops into his brain because with
his dementia, his filter is gone.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Now, look, I don't like him.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
I do not like him, but I'm also not gonna
revel in what's happening to him publicly. Look, I want
him gone, impeached, removed under the twenty fifth Amendment, whatever,
But when it comes to his physical being, it sad
what's happening to him because nobody cares. Nobody cares, No

(27:40):
one loves him enough. Jill Biden loved Joe Biden enough
to not let this happen to him publicly, and she
might be the one who told him finally not to run.
Milania could care less. She's just waiting for him to
kick off so she gets the money. Heraron are going
to run back to Slovenia and leave the other snotty,

(28:03):
no kids alone. Don Junior just announced he's getting married
to some I don't know alien who would love him.
He ain't attractive, So it's sad. It is really really sad. Yes,
I know a lot of people were agreeing with Donald
Trump about Rob Reiner, and look, you know what, I

(28:26):
guess it's okay to dance on graves.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Now.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Remember the shit I got in when I played Ding
Dong The Witch is Dead.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
The day Ronald Reagan died.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Made national fucking news, okay, and I damn near got fired.
That would be so tame by today's standards. When Charlie
Kirk died, I was quick to say, good, he's an
evil fuck so I'm as bad as Donald Trump. I am.

(28:54):
When Charlie Kirk was killed, I did say it was horrible.
I said that no one should be executed that way,
and that just because we had a difference of opinion
was not the reason to kill it. So when he
very first got killed, I was horrified because another talk
show host got a bullet through his neck, and to me,

(29:15):
that was horrified. But after that, I was like, well,
given the stuff he preached, he was bounded to have
something like that happened to him because he was a
hateful buff. So am I Trump?

Speaker 4 (29:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
I just know he's got dementia and he's died right
in front of no one's doing it nobody. Part two
of the Crow.

Speaker 7 (29:45):
Got nasty from a completely different point of view yours.

I don't know, uncensored, unfiltered, unhinged.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
It's a Corral Cast.

Speaker 7 (30:52):
Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Okay, so I have to share something with you all.
I'm from radio, and in radio, we had a clock okay,
and you took your breaks at very specific times, and
you knew when that time was coming. Every studio has
an atomic clock. I have an atomic clock right over
there on a monitor over by the camera. But as
you know, up until today, I've been running over on

(31:23):
my segments and the music starts and then the segment
cuts away, and I'm still talking until I realized, I
know how long my segments are. Five minutes, fifteen minutes
and seven minutes forty five seconds, that's how long they are.
And I thought, why not you to stop watch? So
now I won't be talking over into the segment because

(31:46):
I simply have time my segments. It's how many of
you have solved one of your problems with something that
was right in front of you and gone. Now, why
didn't I think of this like one hundred years ago?

Speaker 4 (31:57):
What you know? What? What? What? What happened?

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Why was I not you know doing this? Look, if
I die when I die, if like it's negotiable the
way I drip. If I die when I die, there
will be people that have very unkind things to say
about me because of the comments that I have said

(32:20):
in public. There are people who will rejoice in my
passing doesn't bother me one fucking bit. I know some
people are bothered by that. I don't fucking care. A.
I'll be dead. B Most of them have said these
things to me in life and.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
To their credit.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
But you know, I don't want to say I'm tired
of being mad at Donald Trump, because I'm like being
saying you know, I'm tired of being mad at Adolf Hitler.
I'm not tired of being mad at Donald Trump. I
just I want to be kinder in the new year,

(33:02):
because there is so much hatred and crazy everywhere. And
I know sometimes you can't be kind because what someone
has done is so horrific you can't be kind. But
for instance, about his health, I really it's not good

(33:22):
to make fun of his health. It's not Look, the
guy's eighty, okay, he's I don't want dementia. You don't
want dementia. Some of us are gonna get it. It's
one of my biggest fears outside of oral cancer and
well and pancreatic gleo blastoma, pancreatic cancer and oral cancer.

(33:46):
My three big fears and dying in a motorcycle crash
with ember or having a motorcycle crash and me not
dying in ember dying that's a big fear, but making
fun of his health, it's we're better than that, you know,

(34:06):
and I know that sometimes you can't be better than
your opponent. Sometimes you have to get in the mud. Okay,
you do if your opponent, if the person doing you eat.
Look if you have horrible pest in your house and
they disrupt your life and they live in the sewer

(34:27):
drains and under your house, someone's gonna have to go
down to their level and battle them. And that person
is someone that's hired, so you don't have to go
do it, but still they have to go where the
infestation is. Exterminators, professional exterminators have to go into some

(34:49):
horrific situations because you won't, but they have to take
the fight to the pest. Well, it's the same thing.
Sometimes we have to go down to maga's level. Sometimes
we have to fight the fight on their turf if
we want to win. Okay, that's fine. I get that,

(35:10):
it's the winning strategy. Gavin Newsom is doing that, but
in a tongue in cheeks sort of way. However, there
are some things that are just cruel. Making fun of
an eighty year old man's dementia and health decline is
as cruel as what he said about Rob Reiner. We

(35:36):
just think it's okay because we're saying it about someone
we hate.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
It's not okay, you know.

Speaker 5 (35:43):
I used to think it was okay to revel in
the misfortune of the evil. Someone's evil and they meet
with misfortune, it's okay to feel good about that.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Nowadays, the term good.

Show Time is here.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
No time to fear Corell is so near because.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Show time is here. So on with the show.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Let's give it a go.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Corell is the one that you need to know.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
Okay, no to self.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
You have to look at the stopwatch if you're going
to be using it to tell you when to stop talking.
Just note to self. So nowadays, I don't know. I
just think that it's very hard to be kind in
the United States of America.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
It really is.

Speaker 5 (36:51):
There's assholes everywhere everywhere. Everybody is ready to fight. Everybody's
you know, taking it. You with everything. It is very
hard to be kind in the United States and very
easy to be jaded. For instance, with the homeless. I

(37:12):
think we've all stopped being kind to homeless people a
long time ago. We're just tired of it. We're tired
of them being outside everywhere. Today in the park, there
are eight homeless people in one little area of the
park with all of their stuff, and I don't want
to see it every morning. But I've stopped calling the

(37:32):
police and having them removed. It's winter. Where are they
going to go? Yes, the shelter. They could go to
the shelter. We have room, but for some reason they
don't want to be in the shelter, and so my
kindness level for them has worn out. You know, I
have been kind to homeless my whole life. Now I

(37:54):
just want them gone.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
But maybe that's on me.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
In other words, homelessness is a failure of government and
a failure of society. And so if I want them gone,
maybe I should join a group to help get them
off the street.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
I want them gone, but.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
I don't want to do anything to get them gone.
I want someone else to handle it. I want the police,
I want social services help. Nevada I don't want to
be the one to have to help them. I just
want them gone. And I know, as I age, that's

(38:36):
a wrong opinion to have, but it's what I have.
I'm sorry, I'm old now. I've been around homeless my
whole fucking life, and I'm sick of it. If there
were a country that I could afford to move to
where I would not see homeless people on a daily basis,
I would go, that's how done with them?

Speaker 4 (38:56):
I am.

Speaker 5 (38:57):
I'm done. I know that's a wrong opinion. So a
lot of us have opinions that are wrong, but there are.
And as for Trump, hating on Trump, now, I'm just
over it.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
I'm over it.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
I have nothing but contempt and hatred for that man,
and it infests my life, it spills out.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
You know.

Speaker 5 (39:22):
I watched it, Welcome to Dairy. It's on HBO mex
And it's an origin story for the It clown, for Pennywise,
the clown, and I like horror so and you know,
so I watched it was good.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
It's very good, very good, eight episodes.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
And because of his evil, this creature's evil, and how
I'm not going to ruin it and tell you how
the creature came to be. But let's just say part
of how the creature came to be is leaking into
the water, and it's making everybody more aggressive and even

(40:05):
good kind normal people have become angry and aggressive. That's
happened in America. All this fighting all the time between
Maga non Maga, Democrats, Republicans, Christians non Christians, Jews, Muslims,
all of this conflict has seeped its way into all

(40:29):
of our lives, whether you want it to or not.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
And it changes you. It changes who you are.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
You know, there are some days I come on here
and I just talk shit and I don't get real heavy,
and you guys love it. You're like, oh, I love
you're in a great mood today, and I love. I
was in that mood every day for decades on talk radio,
every day, every time the mic came on. I was
ready and I was excited and I was happy, happy
to be there. All of a sudden, it became a

(41:03):
chore and talking about the issues was the last thing
I wanted to do because they were so bad. It
infects you, and I know it's hard to keep it
out of your life. It's impossible, but we need to

(41:24):
start reacting in a different way. Otherwise, I don't know
where this is going, you know, I don't you know.
Oh yeah, someone in the in the chat room said,
I got to watch that show because everyone is talking
about it. It's really good. It welcome to Darry. It's
it's really well made and scary. Oh the monster, the

(41:47):
Pennywise he oh, oh scary. They have these creatures and
a mutant baby. And oh it's frightening just hearing that
developers are making more money leaving affordable units vacant. Yeah, yeah,
it's true. It's true.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
We live in a.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
Fucked up world, that is true. And as Christmas is
nine days away, Christmas Eve eight days away, New Year's coming,
what are we going to do next year to make
it less fucked up? A the midterms that's something we
can do. We can get involved with local candidates, we
can help them win. That's positive.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
What else?

Speaker 5 (42:31):
What else are we going to do next year to
make it less fucked up? I'm going to change the show.
I've decided over my two weeks off. I'm going to
have some sort of I don't know, Catharsis of some
kind when I come back with the new shows, in January, they're.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Going to be different.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
Hey, I stay in my studio too much. I really
enjoy being in the kitchen interviewing people out in the world.
It's all a matter of production. I'm alone. I'm alone,
so I don't have a camera person and I don't
have Don Lemon's staff to go walking and talking to people.

(43:11):
I do that better than anyone. I am the best
man on the street person there is told to me
by David G. Hall, who I believe, I just can't
go do it with me ember camera equipment, microphone, that's
what I need a robut for I need a robut cameraman,
that's what I need. So how are you in this

(43:36):
new year going to.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
Have less.

Speaker 5 (43:40):
Hatred, less disappointment, less anger? How what are you going
to do to filter? Because look, it's three more years
of Trump if he lasts, which he's not gonna, but
barring nature, it's three more years Trump unless he gets

(44:01):
impeached or the twenty fifth Amendment is invoked, or he
just dies, it's three more years. You're really gonna be
miserable for three years? Sounding like Barbara, You're really gonna
be miserable for three years? Why the misery, but really
I don't. I'm not gonna be miserable for three years

(44:23):
because Donald Trump wants me to be. What are you
gonna do? I'm really curious to.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Hear.

Speaker 5 (44:32):
What are you gonna do for the next three years
to not be miserable? And I don't want you to
tune out of me or the news. I don't, But
what are you gonna do to not let it infest
your world and bring you down? It's a good question.

(44:56):
The answer multifaceted. I guess first, I would hope you'd
exercise more, get outside, truly, get in the sun, let
your feet touch the grass, play with your dog or
your cat, stroke your pussy. You know, whatever makes you happy.

(45:17):
Find more things in the upcoming year that make you
happy than make you sad. That's what I'm gonna try
to do. For instance, can I afford to go see
my sister this coming weekend? Sat it well, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
I cannot.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
I do not have the eight hundred dollars to go
see my sister.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
I'm charging it because I don't have it, but I
like to travel. I haven't seen my sister in since
before COVID and you know she's almost seventy if I
not in the greatest of health, so you know, so

(46:02):
I'm gonna start doing things like that, go see friends.
I have a friend that moved to Portland. I've never
been to Portland. I'd like to see Portland. I'm contacting
the Rather Room, well, the Feinstein's at the Hotel Nico.
I'm going to try to get a date in March
and start going back on stage. I'm terrified. I'm afraid

(46:26):
I'll be shot. I'm afraid i'll suck. I'm afraid my
heart will go into a fib and I won't be
able to do the show. I have a lot of
fear about returning to the stage, but I also know
how much fun I have while I'm on it, and
I love seeing the audience.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
So I'm gonna go back.

Speaker 5 (46:46):
If the single I dance because continues to do well,
I'd like to go perform it.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
I like that.

Speaker 5 (46:54):
What are you gonna do in the new year? So
you have more joy in your life life than negativity?
Or is it possible? Am I daydreaming? I mean, he's
destroying the country every day. That's not a euphemism, it's
not hyperbole. He is literally destroying the United States of

(47:15):
America every single day, and the Supreme Court is helping him.

Speaker 4 (47:21):
I mean, they just are. So how are you?

Speaker 5 (47:26):
I'd love to see your comments down below. In the
new year, going to balance so you don't have this
where this is bad and the you know, the good
is not. How are you going to balance it so
at least you have as much good as bad, or

(47:46):
maybe even more good and less bad. How are you
going to do that? I'd love to see your comments
down below. I would love to I'm gonna try, won't
always be successful. Tragedy is gonna come my way. I'm
sure medical diagnoses may come my way. You know, who

(48:06):
knows what the future brings. But I'm going to try
to focus more on I'm about to break into song.
Do you know what the song is? You've got to
accentuate the positive, eminate the negative, look out for mister

(48:27):
in between, because it's just kind of that simple. We're
gonna have to use this show and your life to
accentuate the positive. Nothing positive is amplified anymore, you know,

(48:48):
only negative gets amplified. You post something positive online barely
gets any views. You post something controversial or negative online
goes across the globe.

Speaker 4 (49:02):
Let's change that in the new year.

Speaker 5 (49:05):
Let's each try to amplify the positive and mute the negative.

Speaker 4 (49:14):
It's like Trump, you know, I feel pity for the man. Now.

Speaker 5 (49:20):
That doesn't mean I don't want him to meet an
untimely and I do, but I pity him. What a
sad life. Nobody loves him. Nobody loves him. Nobody loves
Donald Trump, not his family, not as people that say
they're his friends. Nobody loves him. That's obvious by how
they're letting him die in public. He is unloved because

(49:46):
he is incapable of love. Donald Trump harbors no love
in his heart for anybody or anything except himself and
his own gain. He is Ebony Scrooge before the change.
He truly is no one or nothing is important to

(50:06):
him except money. That's it, that's all. And subsequently, like
Ebenezer Scrooge, he's unloved. I don't want to be that way.
I know you don't want to be that way. I
don't want him to turn me into someone that is
that way. So in the new Year, I'm just gonna

(50:30):
look at him with pity. Yes, he's destroying the country,
and yeah, he's evil, But I pity him because he
never has known love. He's never held a dog and
just known the unconditional love of a puppy.

Speaker 4 (50:46):
Ever.

Speaker 5 (50:47):
Ever, Ever, he's never looked in someone's eyes and seen
love reflected back at him. Ever, What a sad pathetic man.
That's just so sad and pathetic. I don't want to
be that way. Do you want to be that way?

(51:09):
I don't want to be that way.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
All right, we'll finish off. When we come back.

Speaker 5 (51:15):
You'll hear the plays out Christian takes place thinking, excuse me,
read more fiction than the sun? Yes, good for you, Ravenati.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
Suswat stay.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
Now it show SI. You know I want to take Amtrak.

Speaker 5 (52:03):
From Los Angeles, California to Vancouver in a sleeper car.

Speaker 4 (52:09):
I do.

Speaker 5 (52:10):
I don't have the money. It's very expensive. It's in
a sleeper car. To go from Los Angeles to Seattle
round trip is like fifteen hundred dollars. People think antrack
is cheap. It is if you don't get a sleeper car.
But I need a sleeper car. I have luggage, I
have a dog. I you know she has needs. I

(52:31):
have to shower, and you know I need the dining car.
I need the vegan options, so I need a sleeper car.
I do, and Andrew took me. I was reminded of
An American President this morning, about the great speech that
is given at the end of An American President by
Michael Douglas, which totally describes the era that we're in now,

(52:53):
except the name that they used in the movie could
have been Donald. It could be Donald Trump. It's a
great speech. You know, I am Andrew and I am
the president. You know, spend your life defending something and
then allow someone to you know, burn it, you know
that sort of thing.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
It's a great speech.

Speaker 5 (53:13):
And I was reminded of the time Andrew took me
to San Francisco on the Amtrak in a sleeper car
for my birthday. One of the best trips of my life.
I'd love to do that again, and maybe I will.
Maybe I'll say fuck it, I'm just gonna charge it
and pay it off in time or die in debt,
you know, fuck it, just gonna do it because family

(53:34):
is more important than money. And my niece and nephew
live in Seattle, and I haven't seen them in three years,
and I would love to see them and I'd love
to take the train me and Ember.

Speaker 4 (53:45):
Wouldn't that be fun? Shows?

Speaker 5 (53:47):
I'd record shows on the train. Wouldn't that be so
much fun? Go from LA to Vancouver on the train,
meet all these people, maybe interview some of the people. Oh,
it would just be fun to do and bring you
the show. Do a show from the dining car. I
used to do that.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
I don't know why I stopped.

Speaker 5 (54:12):
Maybe I'm low income too, Colonel Ancas says, I travel coach,
but I'm low income. I'm low income too. Wouldn't it
just be fun to do? I remember being fun? How
many do you remember having a life and being fun?
Raise your hand.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
See that's my point.

Speaker 5 (54:32):
We have to you know, when I was listening to
that seventies music this morning, I thought, what a blast
the seventies were. My god, Oh they were so much fun.
And then the eighties too, they were just a hoot
and holler. I had so much fun in the seventies
and the eighties and the nineties. My fun sort of
stopped when after Andrew died. After he died, about two

(55:02):
or three years after he died, I still had fun.
My niece and nephew moved in with me, and all
of that, And that was good fun, but it wasn't
the same. I got older, medical things started happening. Money
was always on my mind. It wasn't in my twenties
and teens and thirties.

Speaker 4 (55:20):
Who cared?

Speaker 5 (55:21):
You'd count change for taco bell how much? You know,
you'd get a credit line at the liquor store at
the corner to buy your booze.

Speaker 4 (55:28):
You know, I didn't care.

Speaker 5 (55:32):
Maybe the fun stopped when I started caring so much
about everything.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
That's odd to think of, but when you.

Speaker 5 (55:41):
Became an adult in your forties, because that's when you
really become an adult, when you become an adult in
your forties and you start thinking about the future and retirement,
and you know, suddenly blowing one hundred dollars is not
something you would readily consider, unlike in your twenty Yeah,
let's go. I'll spend your last hundred to take your

(56:03):
rent money, go party. And then suddenly in your forties
you're like, no, you can't do that. So I guess
in my forties is when the fun really started to
Now in my sixties, I don't have much fun. This
is fun, but and going to dinner with Steve the
other night was fun.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
So I have fun.

Speaker 5 (56:25):
I do, and being at the park with Ember is fun,
but not as much as I used to. Maybe that's
just a natural cycle of life. Maybe as you age
it's not much fun. I don't know, but I gotta
tell you, Wow, today's really introspective the show because I

(56:49):
am looking ahead to next year and I think you
deserve a better show. I think you deserve a show
with interviews and guests and me out traveling and everyone.
I would go to Ireland and you know, just talk
shit with people and it was a great show.

Speaker 4 (57:04):
You had a good time. And yes we.

Speaker 5 (57:07):
Would talk Trump or Obama or whatever with the Irish
or with whomever wherever we were in the world. But
it wasn't what everything was about. It was the other
part of life, the cooking and the adventure of life.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
Oh, I just hit it.

Speaker 5 (57:30):
I stopped having fun when I stopped having adventures. Oh
that's the truth. I stopped having so much fun when
I stopped going out into the world and having big adventures,
restaurant openings and opening nights of plays and all of that,

(57:51):
interviews with big celebrities and live performance, going out and
performing myself. I haven't been on stage in ten years.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
Ten years. Time to change for.

Speaker 5 (58:07):
You and for me, because we can't go through another
three years like this last year.

Speaker 4 (58:13):
We won't make it. We won't make it.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
We will not make another three years with our veins
popping out of our head every day because Donald Trump
has pissed us off.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
We won't make it. We won't.

Speaker 5 (58:26):
So we all have to think about how we're going
to change in the new year, to be more positive,
less negative. And if that means we're moving ourselves from
the United States, that's what it means. I mean, if
that means Lisbon, here we come that, I'll take you

(58:47):
there with me. If I have to go, I mean
really and for you. If it means you have to
move to a different city or move to a different state, well,
because we gotta change. The last year was rough. This
first year of Trump has been rough. And watching him

(59:08):
die it's morbid and rough, watching him become demented, thick
and fat, bloated, jaundice, he's so yellow.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
That's been rough. All right, We'll be back tomorrow. I
am corell you who you want to be?

Speaker 5 (59:26):
Something hurt you, buddy, See my little thing said, it's
time to go.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
So it's time to go. It does so. I love you, guys.
I love you so much. I'll see you tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (59:37):
See yo, see a drinks.

Speaker 4 (59:42):
Call me drippy. It's drippy, Buez.

Speaker 7 (59:45):
It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view yours.
