00:02:22
Speaker 4: A place since Tuesday of this week because when I do love lounge on TikTok or on Instagram, whenever I do decide to do it, which I don't do anymore because y'all on tip, I've always played let the fielding slow. It's a shining starn that's here to guide you. That was the late great Peeble Bryce. His voice was as smooth as do His afro was always perfect, and he was known as a gentleman, but his voice was absolutely an incredible, alto beautiful, beautiful voice. He made so many memorible songs, especially a lot of cartoons song he did Aladdin Disney saying he sang for Beauty and the Beasts a whole New World. But he had so many solo songs of his own. And I know this younger generation didn't really get a chance to know people well. People was still touring and and doing concept and his voice was just as incredible now as it was when he was younger. He had a stroke seventy five years old, the Diamond age. And you know, the Bible says you are blessed to get to seventy. Anything you got to seventy is a blessing. He had five years a blessing just to make it to seventy. So rest in peace to the late, great, beautiful, beautiful crooner mister Pebo Brison.
00:03:40
Speaker 5: Because that man had a croning voice.
00:03:41
Speaker 3: Maybe just say his bad you could you drop your panties out his voice? I mean it was just smooth and silky, and then he did do the Disney stuff which sticks in your head. It's like you know, you hear it once and you know all the words. Yeah, God, blossom.
00:03:56
Speaker 4: Let he's saying, I can show you the over right shining share with me, splenday over time.
00:04:08
Speaker 5: Maybe I love.
00:04:08
Speaker 4: People Bryson, And I saw somebody saying, y'all all hollering for him, y'all didn't even play his music. I said, how you didn't listen to the Love Lounge because I always played that man's music. AnyWho, God rest the piece mister people. Bryson us passed on Bobby.
00:04:23
Speaker 6: He had some great duets too, But yeah, absolutely.
00:04:27
Speaker 4: With my girl Regina Bell, he's saying most of the Disney duets he sang.
00:04:31
Speaker 5: He sang with Regina Bell, and I know she has to be devastated.
00:04:36
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure there's a connect because especially when you accomplish somebody something with somebody, you always have that connection.
00:04:42
Speaker 4: So I want to start off be giving a happy birthday present to the person who's sitting in the White House right now in charge. I ain't gonna say his name, but for his birthday present, we are removing your name after Kennedy Centers building.
00:04:59
Speaker 5: Happy birthday.
00:05:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're taking your ship all step bast step chank, bad chank and letter back letter, that's not where you belong.
00:05:07
Speaker 3: Did you see the crowds outside cheering when they were ripping the name off.
00:05:14
Speaker 6: I didn't realize.
00:05:15
Speaker 3: I thought they had like dug it into the facade, into the granite, but it was just like metal letters, and they put something on the beginning and the end, and the truck pulled away and boom, you know, it all came down. They're making the change stationary exactly the stationary and everything. I love it. And he's he's in a snit. He's he's in a snit over it. But and he's like a little kid that took his bottle went home. I didn't even want my name on that, but yo, I love it too. He did little by little.
00:05:49
Speaker 5: He didn't know what to do with his name on the Kennedy Building.
00:05:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, not. And again the stuff has to go through Congress, and it's not for a sitting president.
00:05:59
Speaker 6: It's for perpetuity.
00:06:01
Speaker 3: It's also the Kennedy Center is known for him, you know, because of the arts. There's no politics. It invites both sides, total partisanship. In fact, I don't want to talk politics at all. He can't excuse me, he can't do that.
00:06:15
Speaker 4: So well, with all that being said, what he can and can I do, and where we stand and where we don't stand. I'm telling you all right now, we still got to win this election. So y'all make sure that you are so. I haven't seen any horror stories. We had a bunch of primaries recently, and I do see that a lot of these a lot of these states have switched up. You know, Karen bass one down here for mayor is in the winning to be the mayor again of LA which is a Democrat boshoots Besarah Brasarah, who is the lead for governor here. I did not well, I did not go for it's looking like he might be the projected it over. Uh, what's the other one thing? Tom Steier? Yeah, well, no, we have a Republican candidate.
00:07:08
Speaker 5: I didn't. I swear he's not. He is on his side, he's the winner.
00:07:12
Speaker 4: I can think of his name at the moment, but I believe that we had a Republican candidate running under a Democratic ticket. Thank god people paid attention to his past so that he will not be our future.
00:07:24
Speaker 5: I'm just going to say.
00:07:25
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, I mean he's there are have been a few chinks, like not only the Kennedy Center honors. I think it isn't is it? In Iowa there was somebody that Trump was backing and somebody else won. He didn't you know they somebody the other GOP candidate won the one the primary. So uh, people are actually sitting back and looking and we we please keep doing it. Vote look at the person that best represents you. I also feel, and this probably isn't great advice to give people. I think that we also need to unfortunately, look at who we think is going to be. All of the primaries are probably all over now. Who would be a better candidate as far as winning, because if we want to have if you want to have your party in the seat, you can't pick the underdog. Unfortunately, I don't think this was.
00:08:18
Speaker 4: The hurting part is you can't even check their history sometimes no more because Fetterman's history, he was the staunch Democrat. Even though once he had whatever procedure he had a stroke or whatever he had, he came out a full MAGA. So don't stroke out and then come back to somebody else I know.
00:08:36
Speaker 3: But I will say I heard him. So there are going to be two nominees, Blanche and somebody with the P Putero whatever. They wanted to know if Fetterman was going to vote along with the GOP like he has been in other nominations, and he said, no, I think this one's going to be skins and shirts. He said, I'm not voting. I'm not voting that side. I'm voting on the party line. So I went, that's interesting.
00:09:01
Speaker 4: I don't believe him and I don't trust him because he's shown me too many times on numerous occasions when we had an opportunity to make real change and some stop some bs from happening. He was always the one to turn and look the other way. No, thank you, y'all can have his ass. And when he get out of office, I ain't wishing nothing on him, but you going back to where we didn't when you didn't know who you was, since you don't know what party you represent, you going back and become who were who you didn't know you was.
00:09:27
Speaker 5: Because that's how I'm telling you about it.
00:09:29
Speaker 4: I'm at my wits end with this country where people wishy washy and lying and all of this is just for personal game when the country is suffering. Everywhere, people are suffering financially for food, for work, for shelter, for housing, for all of this, for medical treatment. You know, so many people just have to take the sick or just to live in the sick because they can't afford to go to an a doctor to get no help.
00:09:51
Speaker 5: It's beyond repair at this point. Oh, help us.
00:09:55
Speaker 3: Coming, though, Help us coming. Remember Trump said he was going to get no no no no no.
00:09:59
Speaker 5: No no no no no. Trump can't. No, nobody. I'm being very serious.
00:10:04
Speaker 3: That's not why he didn't do it.
00:10:06
Speaker 4: Help us coming with us voting in November to get this ship out of the office. That's how the help is coming. We are our help. We we are our help, that's the title. We are our help because we have to do it.
00:10:20
Speaker 5: I know this bleak looks great. It looks dark. I know you were it looks great. It looks dark. It looks bleak. Damn it.
00:10:28
Speaker 4: There is a light in there, and you're gonna have to go deeper the light. You got to go so deep apnto to get that light. We will be in the darkness, which we have been for the last year and a half. Were about to come about this darkness. We're gonna find a light switch. On November the fourth. We will find we will find the light switch November fourth. That's it right there. We will find a light switch because when we turn the light on, all colors must go.
00:10:51
Speaker 3: No.
00:10:51
Speaker 6: No, I agree with you that.
00:10:53
Speaker 3: I thought that was one of the most powerful things that I thought that Trump ever said in his lifetime, is that he was going to pull all of the healthcare executives in and tell them they're charging too much. It's broken. He was going to fix it. Have you ever heard it since other than the one time he said it, He's never said it since because that would mean he'd be taking money out of their pockets, and he's not going to do that.
00:11:14
Speaker 4: He played, He has played on his followers too, and tap danced on their emotion and they heart and they hate and they racism, and so many of them are tired. I'm watching it, but I believe that the police up under his watch right now have really lost their minds. They are but baric. They are out of control. And I think that all people now are trying to target this is my personal opinion, are trying to target black people in this country because it's coming from the top. The hate comes from the top, the disrespect comes from the top. As a black person, I can't tell you who you are and how you feel. But it's okay to give it back. It's okay to give back how somebody treat you. It is okay that you take that however you need to take it, but it's okay. I'm mortified at the fact that this man in South Carolina, his name is a child, his name is Chow. He's a business owner, Asian business owner. Him, his nineteen year old son, and his wife were racial racially profiling blacks as they came into the store. This last incident that he just got off with that happened in twenty twenty three. A young man was looking at a bottle of water, a and ascent bottle of water. He knocked the waters out the thing, so he put them back in there. The wife thought that he was putting on his pocket. He shook his sweater to show them that he had nothing, kept saying here. He walked out the store. He walked, non confrontational, no violence. This young man walks out the store. The daddy, the nineteen year old Asian son, and the wife came out first and held the door open and watched him chase this young boy because he wasn't running, he was walking.
00:12:47
Speaker 6: But when he was only fourteen years old a kid, I mean I will.
00:12:52
Speaker 4: So after he walking out, he feels intimidated because they're chasing after him. And this man has a gun and has used a gun prior to the past. That they did not bring up in court. They did not bring up his private charges in court because they wanted to get him off, which leaves it open season to say, hey, we can kill somebody's kid and get.
00:13:10
Speaker 5: Away with it.
00:13:10
Speaker 4: Bullshit. Selective outrage was what Chris Rock's comedy special was called. Black folks, where's your selective outrage? Where is your selective outrage? Because I'm outraged and I don't even live in South Carolina. It could have been one of my kids.
00:13:27
Speaker 5: Blacks, it's blacks.
00:13:31
Speaker 3: Everybody.
00:13:31
Speaker 4: He ain't showed at no whites, he ain't shot at no Mexicans. He shot at blacks. I'm talking to black people. Hold on, everybody's not going to be our rage. That had it been a white kid, then the white folks will be outrage. That's just how the shit goes right now, because the racial divide in this country came from the top and has been more and more prevalent every day. I don't understand why his business is still open and these are walking around with not looking over their shoulders.
00:13:59
Speaker 5: That's all I'm saying. Okay, let's go bob me. Now you give me your opinion.
00:14:03
Speaker 3: No, I don't.
00:14:04
Speaker 5: I agree you should be a country is racially divided.
00:14:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that, but I think it should be everybody should be outraged. Anybody that's going to fourteen or was fourteen years old, your old kid. He wouldn't. But he's on an express markshell, I wouldn't have gas. There should be nobody in the community buying a thing. He should. This guy should go bankrupt and have to move. I don't and I don't care what he where. He moves to move to an island. I Epstein's got one foot sale.
00:14:33
Speaker 5: No Epstein on another island.
00:14:34
Speaker 4: You ain't see Mayby talking about he's still allowing me he's on a different island and it's business as usual.
00:14:39
Speaker 5: You haven't seen that.
00:14:41
Speaker 3: No, let him go a look with him.
00:14:43
Speaker 2: Who said?
00:14:44
Speaker 5: Who said after the first when it first happened, is Epstein? One did? Who?
00:14:48
Speaker 3: You?
00:14:51
Speaker 6: You absolutely did? But there, I mean, this is this is to me crazy.
00:14:55
Speaker 3: You brought it to my I was. I was unaware of it. I hadn't even heard of it. This, this is are absolutely outrageous to me. And then he's two years ago, three years ago it happened. He should have no business. Now, he should have been out of business already the minute this.
00:15:07
Speaker 4: Happening already already, and people they still support the business. I'm telling I don't know who to blame him or the black folks down there that still support that bullshit. Y'all, y'all have to find some intennity within yourselves. You have to take a stance for something, or were just gonna continue to be in the same moat that we are in. Do you know when you're in a moat, you only go around and around. You never go up and you get out of it. You just go in, around and around, same thing every day, every night, every year, every month, every moment. Who wants to do that, but not this shit? Be the change you want to see. Michael Jackson said, start with the man or in the mirror. Start with the man and or woman in the mirror. Goddamn it. Boycott that shit, shut his business down, make him purse, Let him move to his own neighborhood. Yeah, let him move to let them get established. Like the man said in China, take your ass to China town. We don't come over there in no way. Y'all oh worse to each other, and then y'all allow to us. Y'all really don't want the dirt on Asian on Asian crimes horrific.
00:16:07
Speaker 3: I'll tell you you know who spoke truth to power. And this is just an example to make your story. Is that Pelly from sixty Minutes, he told them they were absolutely destroying CBS, was destroying both sixty minutes in the channel, and they fired him. But I haven't heard this. They say that he's got a better deal on the horizon, but he got sick of it. You got to do something, and I know what's hard, and it's easier said than done, probably sitting in my seat telling you to do something.
00:16:36
Speaker 5: But I don't know.
00:16:36
Speaker 3: If you don't have outrage forgets selective, just outrage over horrible things. I don't know how things are going to change.
00:16:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, we are, we are. We are in a hard place, pushing a record A guess the while, y'all.
00:16:50
Speaker 4: And it's real messy as you all can see, the decking stacked up against Americans. So what Bobby's saying is not absolutely true. I'm saying speaking in my compassion for this little child and the young man that was killed. Let me tell y'all his name, because I don't even want to say the killer's name. And I say that baby's name, Cyrus.
00:17:10
Speaker 6: I remember Cyrus because I love the name Cyrus.
00:17:12
Speaker 3: Cyrus. Karen mac Belton is the young fourteen year old with a boy's name, and he was as cute as a button. You know, some little kids look like sogs because they're trying to make a face. They had showed the picture they showed him. He's just adorable.
00:17:25
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna tell you all, how can we can redeem this baby's life as black folks, as white folks, as American citizens. We donate money to Carmelo Anthony's campaign in Texas because this was a young black boy who was being bullied by two white boy brothers. One of them was more aggressive than the other one, because I'm not giving the other brother pass the one that's avid, but he backed off. I'm looking at all the stuff that they were been saying. He apparently backed off. The other brother did not. He kept it going and kept it going. And this boy had asked, he followed protocol, He did everything that he needed to do to get them up off of him. This boy just would not stop. So and this happened on school grounds during a baseball game or a football game or something. Where were Where was the supervisors? Where was the chaperones? Where were the administration? So y'all could intervene and see all of this foods. It was raining out there. He didn't want to get caught in the ring. Y'all already know how black folks it is about their hair.
00:18:23
Speaker 5: In the ring. We don't like that hair in the ring. And it just he the boy was doing something to him.
00:18:29
Speaker 4: I wasn't there, I don't know, but apparently he put out a knife to them and swung and then dropped the knife and rain. If he was trying to kill that boy, Bobby, it would have been continued. He was trying to get away, so he swung out. It could have been anybody in that position standing there, and they would have got it and the boy. Unfortunately, he hit something and the boy died. So they're trying to charge him with murder, charge him with fear, charged him when he was afraid of his life because y'all kept releasing this horrific ass bully. And other people have said in school that this boy was a bully more so than his brother. Don't blame the team that blamed the mom and daddy for raising a fucking thug, because at sixteen, the boy was sixteen years old.
00:19:10
Speaker 5: How you get that much hate in your DNA?
00:19:12
Speaker 4: In your heart unless it's coming from your house, you don't know nothing to say that racist or where you brought in through one of these internet things where they bring you in and eradicate you. You wouldn't be going after black you'd be going after the country. So don't come with none of that bullshit. He had issue problem, He didn't have issues, He didn't have mental issues. He was a fucking bully and he would not stop until he got stopped. I hate that that baby died, but I don't want to see this young man railroad. They picked then all white jewelry for a young black boy. Y'all doing that as much money as you can to the Camelo Anthony gofund me to get great attorneys for this young man because he's going to need all the help that he can get. I don't want to see his whole life thrown away because of this piece of shit kid. And I said, this piece of shit kid could not have control of himself. Nobody tied him to not bully people, to see people for who they are and treat people accordingly. So since he didn't know, he now knows. And by the way, the young man that was shotting cut His name was Cyrus Carmac Belton. Rest in peace, baby. And I know I'm getting passionate about the whole story, but I have to because if we don't get passionate about some shit, ain't nobody gonna do nothing?
00:20:17
Speaker 5: And for what it looks like y'all ain't doing nothing. Okay, Bobby, I hear him.
00:20:24
Speaker 3: I say, all over this young man, the one down in Texas going under a tent, and the you know, the other kid not wanting it is bullying.
00:20:35
Speaker 5: You know who? Kids?
00:20:38
Speaker 3: And you are? You did? You did say?
00:20:39
Speaker 6: I'm useful as they say, although it's probably funding.
00:20:42
Speaker 3: Why weren't there more parents or teachers or coaches or somebody when they when they noticed what was happening? Why why didn't somebody step over? Unless it happened before. I don't have enough facts. I keep trying to dig into it, and they're very scant with what I'm able to look, uh signed.
00:21:01
Speaker 4: Because they wanted to put out a narrative. They pushing a narrative, anything to make the kid, to make Carmelo Anthony the villain, like he was the aggressor.
00:21:11
Speaker 5: He was not the aggressor.
00:21:12
Speaker 4: That boy was just trying to go along to get along, and these boys constantly harassed him. That it's documented on school paperwork. If out the parents follow protocol, they did what they were supposed to do. Hit the boy young, the murdered kids. Parents just let him run them up, let him be a bully. Hell from what I'm hearing the neighbors saying. Some of his white neighbors.
00:21:33
Speaker 5: Those parents said that he bullied their white kids.
00:21:39
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, absolutely, and they have to. Usually they need someone bigger and stronger that put them down.
00:21:46
Speaker 4: And this boy was not bigger and stronger, they said. This boy tried to avoid competition. He moved away from them, but it was raining, so he wanted to get up under the tent. You don't get the authority to say who owns it? Who does not own this tent? This was from the school property. I hate the this happened by but it's so ugly. But was it necessary? Is the question for bullies? Was this necessary to make bullies possibly calm down? Or willis insight more racism in this country? And on that note, we're going to take a quick commercial rate.
00:22:15
Speaker 5: And we're back. I don't want to see the country erupt.
00:22:18
Speaker 4: I do believe that we are a pressure cooker right now, and I think that the midterms are going to be.
00:22:26
Speaker 5: The pop off the lead.
00:22:28
Speaker 4: I think the midterms, whether he wins or we win, I think it's going to be the pop off the lead because we got half the country wanted him to win, and we got half the country wanting us to win. I need the whole country wanting the whole country to win. That's not with Donald Trump.
00:22:43
Speaker 5: It's just not.
00:22:45
Speaker 3: We need the country to do something that's better for the court right now. It's it's ugly. It's going to be years before we kind of smooth out everything that's going on. Even look at the who the hell wants to be in the run right now? So we've got to do something. We need to check some balances. I'm sick of seeing names like on the Kennedy Center that should have been a nope from the beginning. Somebody should be telling them we need more, We need more check some balances in the system and.
00:23:12
Speaker 6: People who are willing to stand up to him.
00:23:16
Speaker 3: That's the other problems. Congress is just letting him do what he wants to do. Did you see that this is something I would love to do? Oh? Maybe maybe when you're in Chicago, not this time. The Obama's Presidential Center is going to be opening this month.
00:23:33
Speaker 5: I'll be there open the only tenth I'll be there.
00:23:35
Speaker 4: I'm I'm gonna try to get over there if it ain't too crowded, but i'll be there.
00:23:39
Speaker 3: Well, can you take pictures? I don't know if they'll allow you to go live, but I'd love.
00:23:42
Speaker 6: To see some pictures of it.
00:23:44
Speaker 5: Of course, if I can, I will.
00:23:47
Speaker 6: Wonderful.
00:23:50
Speaker 3: The something that I was reading is I forgot that the Supreme Court has got is going to getting ready to go out on getting to go out for the summer. I'm dying to see what they're gonna say over voter rights and the mail in ballance, the mail in ballots and the presidential power. Those are three of the things that are up to be resolved. I'm very curious to see what happens.
00:24:14
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it is. I don't know.
00:24:16
Speaker 4: I don't know where we're headed by me, but I do know that I'm unsure of it, and I'm afraid every day. I'm afraid. Every day I think I wake up afraid, Like what happened today? What happened overnight? What did this clown?
00:24:26
Speaker 5: Tweet?
00:24:27
Speaker 4: Out what kind of pushes he pushing because the scam was see and I hate that his insurrection is and his followers don't pay attention.
00:24:34
Speaker 5: To what it was.
00:24:35
Speaker 4: He set y'all up to tell y'all, he pushed his bill to get this trillion, this slush fund, to get this one point eight billion dollars so each of y'all can get a million dollars apiece. But when the Supreme Court shut it down, he didn't fight for y'all. But he did make sure that him and his family cannot be audited for past, present, or future taxes. So it was he got what he wanted. He just made y'all think that y'all was gonna get what y'all on Supreme Court. Ain't stop that that was never in the plane. Hear me when I tell you, that was never in the plane. That was always a script, Like everything else he has told y'all, it's all been a script.
00:25:09
Speaker 5: But now are you.
00:25:10
Speaker 4: Starting to wake up? Now are you starting to catch away all this bullshit? The same smoke screen and bullshit he's telling us. He selling to y'all, y'all just closer to it, and so y'all catch it first and we only get the fumes, y'all catch the shit in your face. We just get to smell when you're gonna start, just getting the smell to go before you get the shit. Because that was all a scam. He got with exactly what he wanted. Y'all ain't getting nothing.
00:25:32
Speaker 3: Disruption. That's all he wants to do is disrupt mm. Unfortunately it makes us. We get outraged and crazy. It makes my left eye twitch. And then he didn't plan on half of the stuff that's that that's going on. He knew his name was going to have to come off the Kennedy Center, but he made his nuts for the month and a half it stayed on or whatever it was, you know.
00:25:53
Speaker 4: Because because that month and a half that it was on and we were talking about that, we were not talking about the Epstein file, right.
00:26:02
Speaker 3: Or affordability or any of the stuff that any of the kitchen table items as they were saying. His camp was saying that he ran on and said we're going to get better. He was going to make better.
00:26:17
Speaker 4: To tell you though, he forgot to tell you what he was doing kitchen table talk. He was taking the screws out to your kitchen table. Because they was going to steal.
00:26:24
Speaker 3: It, take it, take it, taking the legs off.
00:26:28
Speaker 6: I like that.
00:26:30
Speaker 3: We this week we agreed on more aid going to Ukraine because they have been getting bombed and they're taking a beaten And they.
00:26:40
Speaker 5: Said that it doesn't how long has there war gone on, Bobby now?
00:26:43
Speaker 3: Oh god, October? Is it three or four years? I mean, just absolutely crazy. I just don't get it. But I like that there were a dozen lawmakers that stood by and said that we needed you know, they need more money, and let's get it to them.
00:26:59
Speaker 6: So I said, well, at least, thank you Jesus, that's happening.
00:27:04
Speaker 3: And that's eight billion, which and people complain about it, it's because it's keeping the war over there, everybody, you know, I love I wish that we had more money that we could slide them just to get this thing over with without putting our boots on the ground over there, right right.
00:27:19
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know. I hate these wars. I hate all these innocentis too. And you know they're not talking about it on the news, but when you ever go look at it, baby, it's so many.
00:27:29
Speaker 4: It's awful, children and women starve and suffering babies. They mal nutrition, swords and hand up on the bricks, and it's so crazy.
00:27:38
Speaker 5: It's so crazy.
00:27:39
Speaker 3: The people you just said it. There are people that are actually caught because these were residential buildings. They're actually stuck the under the rubble. Imagine like your last time that you have stuff. I just can't even It makes me not want to be able to sleep at night. But there were eleven people killed, two kids, and I think the rest were like parents.
00:27:56
Speaker 6: And there's over one hundred wounded. So anyway, the fact that we're.
00:27:59
Speaker 3: Sending money for long range risk missiles, I think those Patriot systems and more drones and stuff, Thank you Jesus. And then the name I couldn't think of before because I'm always not sure if I'm pronouncing it quickly is Pulty's. He's going to be replaced Chelsea Gabbard, and he is he is a real estate guy, you know, like housing guy. He's going to have some of the most sensitive information. He's going to be the acting, which means he can do two hundred and I don't know if it's two hundred and ten days before he has to get nominated, but I'm highly and this is the one that Fetterman said, yeah, I don't think so.
00:28:45
Speaker 5: Have you have you seen his angry videos.
00:28:47
Speaker 4: He is a hostile, high racistly open racist monster, and you want to put him in a position.
00:28:55
Speaker 5: But two hundred and days, how much damage can be done?
00:28:58
Speaker 4: And one day, let alone, to one hundred and ten from somebody who is not qualified to sit in that seat.
00:29:03
Speaker 5: Oh we live in that though, ain't we?
00:29:05
Speaker 2: Oh?
00:29:05
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah we are, We absolutely are.
00:29:08
Speaker 5: We're living there right now with the president and chief in office.
00:29:12
Speaker 4: And y'all don't y'all don't see what's about to happen again, y'all surviving off his year and a half, because two hundred days from somebody in that position, old housing, everybody's gonna be living in boxes.
00:29:22
Speaker 5: That's why they createing all of these.
00:29:24
Speaker 4: Making houses now out of the containers that they bring stuff with their ship shipping containers and just little tiny house and wooden house. They all want us to live in one little plot in a little bitty house that looks like it's the game plan.
00:29:37
Speaker 3: Shit, I don't think he has the just like RFK running running healthcare and has no healthcare background. I don't think he's got the background for it. You know they have an acting Attorney General, is that Tom Todd Blanche. He's actually the one that's saying there's not going to be an anti weaponization fund, even though I don't know if that's a ploy. So we're looking to the left and they're making it happen to the right. But at least he has the skills. Like I didn't like Bondi, but at least she was an attorney, and she was an attorney over you know, a large area, and she actually had the chops the skills to do the job. That doesn't mean that we would want her to do the job. But the Poltie, I mean, I'm nervous over that. I'm hoping that nothing cia. I mean, it makes me makes me absolutely nauseous.
00:30:26
Speaker 4: Well, let me tell you why, Bobby, Because even though Pam Bondi had the chops and she had the capacity and the knowledge and the history to do it, you know, she had the qualifications, she sold the ass up because she did whatever she was told. She turns she went from being qualified to becoming a loyalist, which means all the qualifications go out the window.
00:30:50
Speaker 3: And I agree that she was a loyalist, but she still didn't do everything he wanted. That's why she doesn't have the job. I don't care what they try to tell you. She wasn't too much of a loyalist. She followed the Constitution to a point and said, hey, look the words are here and it doesn't we can't do that and our asses out. So I'm a little nervous with Blanche. That's the part. I know he's get the qualifications, just like you were saying about Bondi. But I'm nervous because he is more loyal So what is she going to do? She's funny with the Epstein files. Bondi threw Blanche right under. She said she answered nothing when she came in for that hearing last week, and she said that when they were reading the transcript, she said Blanche was the head of all of that stuff. I was not responsible for the day to day he was speak with him. So I'm thinking, oh, this is the time the Democrats should be pushing me more and saying, hey, you supposedly have all the answers.
00:31:46
Speaker 5: Where are they?
00:31:47
Speaker 3: What are they?
00:31:49
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's it probably won't happen, but you know, just saying.
00:31:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you know you were speaking about the birthday, the big birthday celebration earlier, and I'm thinking of that, what do you think of that freedom two fifty with everybody leaving, He's got nobody. He's going to be singing soon.
00:32:11
Speaker 5: I'm thinking that.
00:32:12
Speaker 4: Just what I just see that the ones that's the closest to him finally starts smelling the shit before it hit him. See we only got the aftermath. Now they starting the smell before it hit him. I think everybody is wires en up, Bobby. And to see that this train is headed to a brick wall, there are no stops, and who everybody that's on that train when it hits will perish.
00:32:35
Speaker 3: Scary stuff. But I thought, oh, this is going to be I remember, I mean we were babies in the in the in the buggy for seventeen seventy six with the nineteen seventy six. But that was exciting, you know, everybody was so up for the celebration, and so this this actually makes me a little sad that it doesn't have the same everybody was American during that time, during that year, during those Fourth of July celebrations. This kind of makes me sad for the young kids today, they don't get to feel that that. I don't know pull but anyway, but I thought it was interesting young mc martina McBride brett and I'm forgetting his last name in the commondoorst. I think they all pulled out. I'm like, Jesus, you know who's hanging toime. I'm glad, I'm glad the Commodos for that mean Vanilla Ice, he's in. He's in it to win it.
00:33:28
Speaker 5: He's trying to say who else booking them?
00:33:33
Speaker 3: But he says this is just going to be a celebration of the country. There has nothing to do with politics. And I'm like, oh, Vanilla or whatever your first name is.
00:33:41
Speaker 4: Who?
00:33:42
Speaker 6: Okay?
00:33:44
Speaker 4: Yeah?
00:33:45
Speaker 3: Do you see the horrible monster they're calling it the Claw that they have built on the grounds of the White House and Banana Head during some sort of press engagement this week, comparing it to in eighteen eighty nine in France they built the Eiffel Tower, which was supposed to come right down immediately and they didn't, so you never know, we could leave that up there. We need a w W whatever the hell it's going to be out there on the White House lawn right in front of like the roach.
00:34:21
Speaker 4: If white folks, white folks, I'm talking to y'all, they listen to us right now, I'm talking to all the white folks.
00:34:26
Speaker 5: If white folks, white folks, y'all hear me.
00:34:29
Speaker 4: You know how you love to say it's some stuff as ghetto ghetto when it comes to black people. But him putting a carnival on the White House lawn just growing part of history by tearing up the damn East Wing to build a ballroom for his rich, super rich altar rich loyalists, because they're not his friends, they're his loyalists. If that ain't white trash to the ten thousand power, I don't know what it is. So before you get to the hollering ghetto, your president is man. And here's the killing part. Y'all donated to it and supported it. Did I say that's so awful?
00:35:10
Speaker 3: When they were showing the film we've talked about this before of them or the footage of them taking down the West East Wing, I felt some sort of way, like I teared up.
00:35:21
Speaker 6: That really bothered me. Seeing this is like even worse.
00:35:27
Speaker 3: Not only is that beautiful wing gone, but to see that it looks like a big kids blow up thing on the Oh my god, it's awful.
00:35:37
Speaker 6: I can't believe it.
00:35:38
Speaker 3: And they're given.
00:35:41
Speaker 6: And we're supposed to say this is all great. They're giving.
00:35:45
Speaker 3: Former First Lady Jill Biden the business because she wrote a book and they they're sick of hearing about what happened and the election and whatnot. And I'm thinking, you're not upset about that, but you're upset about her. She has the right to write a book about her experience and put it that whenever she wants to. You know it, she's not saying it. It's not a it's not a debunking of the election. She's just saying exactly what you and I said as we were literally on the phone with each other that night. Oh my god, he's having a stroke, like something's happening. And that's what her feelings were. And she was just going from there and and she said she hasn't seen it before or since. Whether that's true or not, I do I can't speak to She was shrieking about her husband, That's exactly it. In her experience in the White House. Why permission?
00:36:33
Speaker 4: She was speaking about her husband. Yeah, no matter what his position was, he was her husband.
00:36:40
Speaker 3: That's right.
00:36:41
Speaker 6: But Milania could put a whole movie out and make money on it.
00:36:45
Speaker 4: And that's I've forgot to go see her movie. I'm living and everybody else I'm living in her movie. And how fantasy right now? How you go from to the first lady? How do you go from selling it to owning it?
00:37:01
Speaker 3: I don't know, but yeah, I love it. You just said it. But that's okay. And this is a woman that worked a full time job and worked her first lady job doing all sorts of stuff, So I don't I mean, she was a really good first lady. So I don't know how people can get so I don't know, up and arms over it. But that said, where are you this week?

00:02:18
Speaker 5: And second about Bobby. I have been very in.
00:02:22
Speaker 4: A place since Tuesday of this week because when I do love lounge on TikTok or on Instagram, whenever I do decide to do it, which I don't do anymore because y'all on tip, I've always played let the fielding slow. It's a shining starn that's here to guide you. That was the late great Peeble Bryce. His voice was as smooth as do His afro was always perfect, and he was known as a gentleman, but his voice was absolutely an incredible, alto beautiful, beautiful voice. He made so many memorible songs, especially a lot of cartoons song he did Aladdin Disney saying he sang for Beauty and the Beasts a whole New World. But he had so many solo songs of his own. And I know this younger generation didn't really get a chance to know people well. People was still touring and and doing concept and his voice was just as incredible now as it was when he was younger. He had a stroke seventy five years old, the Diamond age. And you know, the Bible says you are blessed to get to seventy. Anything you got to seventy is a blessing. He had five years a blessing just to make it to seventy. So rest in peace to the late, great, beautiful, beautiful crooner mister Pebo Brison.
00:03:40
Speaker 5: Because that man had a croning voice.
00:03:41
Speaker 3: Maybe just say his bad you could you drop your panties out his voice? I mean it was just smooth and silky, and then he did do the Disney stuff which sticks in your head. It's like you know, you hear it once and you know all the words. Yeah, God, blossom.
00:03:56
Speaker 4: Let he's saying, I can show you the over right shining share with me, splenday over time.
00:04:08
Speaker 5: Maybe I love.
00:04:08
Speaker 4: People Bryson, And I saw somebody saying, y'all all hollering for him, y'all didn't even play his music. I said, how you didn't listen to the Love Lounge because I always played that man's music. AnyWho, God rest the piece mister people. Bryson us passed on Bobby.
00:04:23
Speaker 6: He had some great duets too, But yeah, absolutely.
00:04:27
Speaker 4: With my girl Regina Bell, he's saying most of the Disney duets he sang.
00:04:31
Speaker 5: He sang with Regina Bell, and I know she has to be devastated.
00:04:36
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure there's a connect because especially when you accomplish somebody something with somebody, you always have that connection.
00:04:42
Speaker 4: So I want to start off be giving a happy birthday present to the person who's sitting in the White House right now in charge. I ain't gonna say his name, but for his birthday present, we are removing your name after Kennedy Centers building.
00:04:59
Speaker 5: Happy birthday.
00:05:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're taking your ship all step bast step chank, bad chank and letter back letter, that's not where you belong.
00:05:07
Speaker 3: Did you see the crowds outside cheering when they were ripping the name off.
00:05:14
Speaker 6: I didn't realize.
00:05:15
Speaker 3: I thought they had like dug it into the facade, into the granite, but it was just like metal letters, and they put something on the beginning and the end, and the truck pulled away and boom, you know, it all came down. They're making the change stationary exactly the stationary and everything. I love it. And he's he's in a snit. He's he's in a snit over it. But and he's like a little kid that took his bottle went home. I didn't even want my name on that, but yo, I love it too. He did little by little.
00:05:49
Speaker 5: He didn't know what to do with his name on the Kennedy Building.
00:05:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, not. And again the stuff has to go through Congress, and it's not for a sitting president.
00:05:59
Speaker 6: It's for perpetuity.
00:06:01
Speaker 3: It's also the Kennedy Center is known for him, you know, because of the arts. There's no politics. It invites both sides, total partisanship. In fact, I don't want to talk politics at all. He can't excuse me, he can't do that.
00:06:15
Speaker 4: So well, with all that being said, what he can and can I do, and where we stand and where we don't stand. I'm telling you all right now, we still got to win this election. So y'all make sure that you are so. I haven't seen any horror stories. We had a bunch of primaries recently, and I do see that a lot of these a lot of these states have switched up. You know, Karen bass one down here for mayor is in the winning to be the mayor again of LA which is a Democrat boshoots Besarah Brasarah, who is the lead for governor here. I did not well, I did not go for it's looking like he might be the projected it over. Uh, what's the other one thing? Tom Steier? Yeah, well, no, we have a Republican candidate.
00:07:08
Speaker 5: I didn't. I swear he's not. He is on his side, he's the winner.
00:07:12
Speaker 4: I can think of his name at the moment, but I believe that we had a Republican candidate running under a Democratic ticket. Thank god people paid attention to his past so that he will not be our future.
00:07:24
Speaker 5: I'm just going to say.
00:07:25
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, I mean he's there are have been a few chinks, like not only the Kennedy Center honors. I think it isn't is it? In Iowa there was somebody that Trump was backing and somebody else won. He didn't you know they somebody the other GOP candidate won the one the primary. So uh, people are actually sitting back and looking and we we please keep doing it. Vote look at the person that best represents you. I also feel, and this probably isn't great advice to give people. I think that we also need to unfortunately, look at who we think is going to be. All of the primaries are probably all over now. Who would be a better candidate as far as winning, because if we want to have if you want to have your party in the seat, you can't pick the underdog. Unfortunately, I don't think this was.
00:08:18
Speaker 4: The hurting part is you can't even check their history sometimes no more because Fetterman's history, he was the staunch Democrat. Even though once he had whatever procedure he had a stroke or whatever he had, he came out a full MAGA. So don't stroke out and then come back to somebody else I know.
00:08:36
Speaker 3: But I will say I heard him. So there are going to be two nominees, Blanche and somebody with the P Putero whatever. They wanted to know if Fetterman was going to vote along with the GOP like he has been in other nominations, and he said, no, I think this one's going to be skins and shirts. He said, I'm not voting. I'm not voting that side. I'm voting on the party line. So I went, that's interesting.
00:09:01
Speaker 4: I don't believe him and I don't trust him because he's shown me too many times on numerous occasions when we had an opportunity to make real change and some stop some bs from happening. He was always the one to turn and look the other way. No, thank you, y'all can have his ass. And when he get out of office, I ain't wishing nothing on him, but you going back to where we didn't when you didn't know who you was, since you don't know what party you represent, you going back and become who were who you didn't know you was.
00:09:27
Speaker 5: Because that's how I'm telling you about it.
00:09:29
Speaker 4: I'm at my wits end with this country where people wishy washy and lying and all of this is just for personal game when the country is suffering. Everywhere, people are suffering financially for food, for work, for shelter, for housing, for all of this, for medical treatment. You know, so many people just have to take the sick or just to live in the sick because they can't afford to go to an a doctor to get no help.
00:09:51
Speaker 5: It's beyond repair at this point. Oh, help us.
00:09:55
Speaker 3: Coming, though, Help us coming. Remember Trump said he was going to get no no no no no.
00:09:59
Speaker 5: No no no no no. Trump can't. No, nobody. I'm being very serious.
00:10:04
Speaker 3: That's not why he didn't do it.
00:10:06
Speaker 4: Help us coming with us voting in November to get this ship out of the office. That's how the help is coming. We are our help. We we are our help, that's the title. We are our help because we have to do it.
00:10:20
Speaker 5: I know this bleak looks great. It looks dark. I know you were it looks great. It looks dark. It looks bleak. Damn it.
00:10:28
Speaker 4: There is a light in there, and you're gonna have to go deeper the light. You got to go so deep apnto to get that light. We will be in the darkness, which we have been for the last year and a half. Were about to come about this darkness. We're gonna find a light switch. On November the fourth. We will find we will find the light switch November fourth. That's it right there. We will find a light switch because when we turn the light on, all colors must go.
00:10:51
Speaker 3: No.
00:10:51
Speaker 6: No, I agree with you that.
00:10:53
Speaker 3: I thought that was one of the most powerful things that I thought that Trump ever said in his lifetime, is that he was going to pull all of the healthcare executives in and tell them they're charging too much. It's broken. He was going to fix it. Have you ever heard it since other than the one time he said it, He's never said it since because that would mean he'd be taking money out of their pockets, and he's not going to do that.
00:11:14
Speaker 4: He played, He has played on his followers too, and tap danced on their emotion and they heart and they hate and they racism, and so many of them are tired. I'm watching it, but I believe that the police up under his watch right now have really lost their minds. They are but baric. They are out of control. And I think that all people now are trying to target this is my personal opinion, are trying to target black people in this country because it's coming from the top. The hate comes from the top, the disrespect comes from the top. As a black person, I can't tell you who you are and how you feel. But it's okay to give it back. It's okay to give back how somebody treat you. It is okay that you take that however you need to take it, but it's okay. I'm mortified at the fact that this man in South Carolina, his name is a child, his name is Chow. He's a business owner, Asian business owner. Him, his nineteen year old son, and his wife were racial racially profiling blacks as they came into the store. This last incident that he just got off with that happened in twenty twenty three. A young man was looking at a bottle of water, a and ascent bottle of water. He knocked the waters out the thing, so he put them back in there. The wife thought that he was putting on his pocket. He shook his sweater to show them that he had nothing, kept saying here. He walked out the store. He walked, non confrontational, no violence. This young man walks out the store. The daddy, the nineteen year old Asian son, and the wife came out first and held the door open and watched him chase this young boy because he wasn't running, he was walking.
00:12:47
Speaker 6: But when he was only fourteen years old a kid, I mean I will.
00:12:52
Speaker 4: So after he walking out, he feels intimidated because they're chasing after him. And this man has a gun and has used a gun prior to the past. That they did not bring up in court. They did not bring up his private charges in court because they wanted to get him off, which leaves it open season to say, hey, we can kill somebody's kid and get.
00:13:10
Speaker 5: Away with it.
00:13:10
Speaker 4: Bullshit. Selective outrage was what Chris Rock's comedy special was called. Black folks, where's your selective outrage? Where is your selective outrage? Because I'm outraged and I don't even live in South Carolina. It could have been one of my kids.
00:13:27
Speaker 5: Blacks, it's blacks.
00:13:31
Speaker 3: Everybody.
00:13:31
Speaker 4: He ain't showed at no whites, he ain't shot at no Mexicans. He shot at blacks. I'm talking to black people. Hold on, everybody's not going to be our rage. That had it been a white kid, then the white folks will be outrage. That's just how the shit goes right now, because the racial divide in this country came from the top and has been more and more prevalent every day. I don't understand why his business is still open and these are walking around with not looking over their shoulders.
00:13:59
Speaker 5: That's all I'm saying. Okay, let's go bob me. Now you give me your opinion.
00:14:03
Speaker 3: No, I don't.
00:14:04
Speaker 5: I agree you should be a country is racially divided.
00:14:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that, but I think it should be everybody should be outraged. Anybody that's going to fourteen or was fourteen years old, your old kid. He wouldn't. But he's on an express markshell, I wouldn't have gas. There should be nobody in the community buying a thing. He should. This guy should go bankrupt and have to move. I don't and I don't care what he where. He moves to move to an island. I Epstein's got one foot sale.
00:14:33
Speaker 5: No Epstein on another island.
00:14:34
Speaker 4: You ain't see Mayby talking about he's still allowing me he's on a different island and it's business as usual.
00:14:39
Speaker 5: You haven't seen that.
00:14:41
Speaker 3: No, let him go a look with him.
00:14:43
Speaker 2: Who said?
00:14:44
Speaker 5: Who said after the first when it first happened, is Epstein? One did? Who?
00:14:48
Speaker 3: You?
00:14:51
Speaker 6: You absolutely did? But there, I mean, this is this is to me crazy.
00:14:55
Speaker 3: You brought it to my I was. I was unaware of it. I hadn't even heard of it. This, this is are absolutely outrageous to me. And then he's two years ago, three years ago it happened. He should have no business. Now, he should have been out of business already the minute this.
00:15:07
Speaker 4: Happening already already, and people they still support the business. I'm telling I don't know who to blame him or the black folks down there that still support that bullshit. Y'all, y'all have to find some intennity within yourselves. You have to take a stance for something, or were just gonna continue to be in the same moat that we are in. Do you know when you're in a moat, you only go around and around. You never go up and you get out of it. You just go in, around and around, same thing every day, every night, every year, every month, every moment. Who wants to do that, but not this shit? Be the change you want to see. Michael Jackson said, start with the man or in the mirror. Start with the man and or woman in the mirror. Goddamn it. Boycott that shit, shut his business down, make him purse, Let him move to his own neighborhood. Yeah, let him move to let them get established. Like the man said in China, take your ass to China town. We don't come over there in no way. Y'all oh worse to each other, and then y'all allow to us. Y'all really don't want the dirt on Asian on Asian crimes horrific.
00:16:07
Speaker 3: I'll tell you you know who spoke truth to power. And this is just an example to make your story. Is that Pelly from sixty Minutes, he told them they were absolutely destroying CBS, was destroying both sixty minutes in the channel, and they fired him. But I haven't heard this. They say that he's got a better deal on the horizon, but he got sick of it. You got to do something, and I know what's hard, and it's easier said than done, probably sitting in my seat telling you to do something.
00:16:36
Speaker 5: But I don't know.
00:16:36
Speaker 3: If you don't have outrage forgets selective, just outrage over horrible things. I don't know how things are going to change.
00:16:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, we are, we are. We are in a hard place, pushing a record A guess the while, y'all.
00:16:50
Speaker 4: And it's real messy as you all can see, the decking stacked up against Americans. So what Bobby's saying is not absolutely true. I'm saying speaking in my compassion for this little child and the young man that was killed. Let me tell y'all his name, because I don't even want to say the killer's name. And I say that baby's name, Cyrus.
00:17:10
Speaker 6: I remember Cyrus because I love the name Cyrus.
00:17:12
Speaker 3: Cyrus. Karen mac Belton is the young fourteen year old with a boy's name, and he was as cute as a button. You know, some little kids look like sogs because they're trying to make a face. They had showed the picture they showed him. He's just adorable.
00:17:25
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna tell you all, how can we can redeem this baby's life as black folks, as white folks, as American citizens. We donate money to Carmelo Anthony's campaign in Texas because this was a young black boy who was being bullied by two white boy brothers. One of them was more aggressive than the other one, because I'm not giving the other brother pass the one that's avid, but he backed off. I'm looking at all the stuff that they were been saying. He apparently backed off. The other brother did not. He kept it going and kept it going. And this boy had asked, he followed protocol, He did everything that he needed to do to get them up off of him. This boy just would not stop. So and this happened on school grounds during a baseball game or a football game or something. Where were Where was the supervisors? Where was the chaperones? Where were the administration? So y'all could intervene and see all of this foods. It was raining out there. He didn't want to get caught in the ring. Y'all already know how black folks it is about their hair.
00:18:23
Speaker 5: In the ring. We don't like that hair in the ring. And it just he the boy was doing something to him.
00:18:29
Speaker 4: I wasn't there, I don't know, but apparently he put out a knife to them and swung and then dropped the knife and rain. If he was trying to kill that boy, Bobby, it would have been continued. He was trying to get away, so he swung out. It could have been anybody in that position standing there, and they would have got it and the boy. Unfortunately, he hit something and the boy died. So they're trying to charge him with murder, charge him with fear, charged him when he was afraid of his life because y'all kept releasing this horrific ass bully. And other people have said in school that this boy was a bully more so than his brother. Don't blame the team that blamed the mom and daddy for raising a fucking thug, because at sixteen, the boy was sixteen years old.
00:19:10
Speaker 5: How you get that much hate in your DNA?
00:19:12
Speaker 4: In your heart unless it's coming from your house, you don't know nothing to say that racist or where you brought in through one of these internet things where they bring you in and eradicate you. You wouldn't be going after black you'd be going after the country. So don't come with none of that bullshit. He had issue problem, He didn't have issues, He didn't have mental issues. He was a fucking bully and he would not stop until he got stopped. I hate that that baby died, but I don't want to see this young man railroad. They picked then all white jewelry for a young black boy. Y'all doing that as much money as you can to the Camelo Anthony gofund me to get great attorneys for this young man because he's going to need all the help that he can get. I don't want to see his whole life thrown away because of this piece of shit kid. And I said, this piece of shit kid could not have control of himself. Nobody tied him to not bully people, to see people for who they are and treat people accordingly. So since he didn't know, he now knows. And by the way, the young man that was shotting cut His name was Cyrus Carmac Belton. Rest in peace, baby. And I know I'm getting passionate about the whole story, but I have to because if we don't get passionate about some shit, ain't nobody gonna do nothing?
00:20:17
Speaker 5: And for what it looks like y'all ain't doing nothing. Okay, Bobby, I hear him.
00:20:24
Speaker 3: I say, all over this young man, the one down in Texas going under a tent, and the you know, the other kid not wanting it is bullying.
00:20:35
Speaker 5: You know who? Kids?
00:20:38
Speaker 3: And you are? You did? You did say?
00:20:39
Speaker 6: I'm useful as they say, although it's probably funding.
00:20:42
Speaker 3: Why weren't there more parents or teachers or coaches or somebody when they when they noticed what was happening? Why why didn't somebody step over? Unless it happened before. I don't have enough facts. I keep trying to dig into it, and they're very scant with what I'm able to look, uh signed.
00:21:01
Speaker 4: Because they wanted to put out a narrative. They pushing a narrative, anything to make the kid, to make Carmelo Anthony the villain, like he was the aggressor.
00:21:11
Speaker 5: He was not the aggressor.
00:21:12
Speaker 4: That boy was just trying to go along to get along, and these boys constantly harassed him. That it's documented on school paperwork. If out the parents follow protocol, they did what they were supposed to do. Hit the boy young, the murdered kids. Parents just let him run them up, let him be a bully. Hell from what I'm hearing the neighbors saying. Some of his white neighbors.
00:21:33
Speaker 5: Those parents said that he bullied their white kids.
00:21:39
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, absolutely, and they have to. Usually they need someone bigger and stronger that put them down.
00:21:46
Speaker 4: And this boy was not bigger and stronger, they said. This boy tried to avoid competition. He moved away from them, but it was raining, so he wanted to get up under the tent. You don't get the authority to say who owns it? Who does not own this tent? This was from the school property. I hate the this happened by but it's so ugly. But was it necessary? Is the question for bullies? Was this necessary to make bullies possibly calm down? Or willis insight more racism in this country? And on that note, we're going to take a quick commercial rate.
00:22:15
Speaker 5: And we're back. I don't want to see the country erupt.
00:22:18
Speaker 4: I do believe that we are a pressure cooker right now, and I think that the midterms are going to be.
00:22:26
Speaker 5: The pop off the lead.
00:22:28
Speaker 4: I think the midterms, whether he wins or we win, I think it's going to be the pop off the lead because we got half the country wanted him to win, and we got half the country wanting us to win. I need the whole country wanting the whole country to win. That's not with Donald Trump.
00:22:43
Speaker 5: It's just not.
00:22:45
Speaker 3: We need the country to do something that's better for the court right now. It's it's ugly. It's going to be years before we kind of smooth out everything that's going on. Even look at the who the hell wants to be in the run right now? So we've got to do something. We need to check some balances. I'm sick of seeing names like on the Kennedy Center that should have been a nope from the beginning. Somebody should be telling them we need more, We need more check some balances in the system and.
00:23:12
Speaker 6: People who are willing to stand up to him.
00:23:16
Speaker 3: That's the other problems. Congress is just letting him do what he wants to do. Did you see that this is something I would love to do? Oh? Maybe maybe when you're in Chicago, not this time. The Obama's Presidential Center is going to be opening this month.
00:23:33
Speaker 5: I'll be there open the only tenth I'll be there.
00:23:35
Speaker 4: I'm I'm gonna try to get over there if it ain't too crowded, but i'll be there.
00:23:39
Speaker 3: Well, can you take pictures? I don't know if they'll allow you to go live, but I'd love.
00:23:42
Speaker 6: To see some pictures of it.
00:23:44
Speaker 5: Of course, if I can, I will.
00:23:47
Speaker 6: Wonderful.
00:23:50
Speaker 3: The something that I was reading is I forgot that the Supreme Court has got is going to getting ready to go out on getting to go out for the summer. I'm dying to see what they're gonna say over voter rights and the mail in ballance, the mail in ballots and the presidential power. Those are three of the things that are up to be resolved. I'm very curious to see what happens.
00:24:14
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it is. I don't know.
00:24:16
Speaker 4: I don't know where we're headed by me, but I do know that I'm unsure of it, and I'm afraid every day. I'm afraid. Every day I think I wake up afraid, Like what happened today? What happened overnight? What did this clown?
00:24:26
Speaker 5: Tweet?
00:24:27
Speaker 4: Out what kind of pushes he pushing because the scam was see and I hate that his insurrection is and his followers don't pay attention.
00:24:34
Speaker 5: To what it was.
00:24:35
Speaker 4: He set y'all up to tell y'all, he pushed his bill to get this trillion, this slush fund, to get this one point eight billion dollars so each of y'all can get a million dollars apiece. But when the Supreme Court shut it down, he didn't fight for y'all. But he did make sure that him and his family cannot be audited for past, present, or future taxes. So it was he got what he wanted. He just made y'all think that y'all was gonna get what y'all on Supreme Court. Ain't stop that that was never in the plane. Hear me when I tell you, that was never in the plane. That was always a script, Like everything else he has told y'all, it's all been a script.
00:25:09
Speaker 5: But now are you.
00:25:10
Speaker 4: Starting to wake up? Now are you starting to catch away all this bullshit? The same smoke screen and bullshit he's telling us. He selling to y'all, y'all just closer to it, and so y'all catch it first and we only get the fumes, y'all catch the shit in your face. We just get to smell when you're gonna start, just getting the smell to go before you get the shit. Because that was all a scam. He got with exactly what he wanted. Y'all ain't getting nothing.
00:25:32
Speaker 3: Disruption. That's all he wants to do is disrupt mm. Unfortunately it makes us. We get outraged and crazy. It makes my left eye twitch. And then he didn't plan on half of the stuff that's that that's going on. He knew his name was going to have to come off the Kennedy Center, but he made his nuts for the month and a half it stayed on or whatever it was, you know.
00:25:53
Speaker 4: Because because that month and a half that it was on and we were talking about that, we were not talking about the Epstein file, right.
00:26:02
Speaker 3: Or affordability or any of the stuff that any of the kitchen table items as they were saying. His camp was saying that he ran on and said we're going to get better. He was going to make better.
00:26:17
Speaker 4: To tell you though, he forgot to tell you what he was doing kitchen table talk. He was taking the screws out to your kitchen table. Because they was going to steal.
00:26:24
Speaker 3: It, take it, take it, taking the legs off.
00:26:28
Speaker 6: I like that.
00:26:30
Speaker 3: We this week we agreed on more aid going to Ukraine because they have been getting bombed and they're taking a beaten And they.
00:26:40
Speaker 5: Said that it doesn't how long has there war gone on, Bobby now?
00:26:43
Speaker 3: Oh god, October? Is it three or four years? I mean, just absolutely crazy. I just don't get it. But I like that there were a dozen lawmakers that stood by and said that we needed you know, they need more money, and let's get it to them.
00:26:59
Speaker 6: So I said, well, at least, thank you Jesus, that's happening.
00:27:04
Speaker 3: And that's eight billion, which and people complain about it, it's because it's keeping the war over there, everybody, you know, I love I wish that we had more money that we could slide them just to get this thing over with without putting our boots on the ground over there, right right.
00:27:19
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know. I hate these wars. I hate all these innocentis too. And you know they're not talking about it on the news, but when you ever go look at it, baby, it's so many.
00:27:29
Speaker 4: It's awful, children and women starve and suffering babies. They mal nutrition, swords and hand up on the bricks, and it's so crazy.
00:27:38
Speaker 5: It's so crazy.
00:27:39
Speaker 3: The people you just said it. There are people that are actually caught because these were residential buildings. They're actually stuck the under the rubble. Imagine like your last time that you have stuff. I just can't even It makes me not want to be able to sleep at night. But there were eleven people killed, two kids, and I think the rest were like parents.
00:27:56
Speaker 6: And there's over one hundred wounded. So anyway, the fact that we're.
00:27:59
Speaker 3: Sending money for long range risk missiles, I think those Patriot systems and more drones and stuff, Thank you Jesus. And then the name I couldn't think of before because I'm always not sure if I'm pronouncing it quickly is Pulty's. He's going to be replaced Chelsea Gabbard, and he is he is a real estate guy, you know, like housing guy. He's going to have some of the most sensitive information. He's going to be the acting, which means he can do two hundred and I don't know if it's two hundred and ten days before he has to get nominated, but I'm highly and this is the one that Fetterman said, yeah, I don't think so.
00:28:45
Speaker 5: Have you have you seen his angry videos.
00:28:47
Speaker 4: He is a hostile, high racistly open racist monster, and you want to put him in a position.
00:28:55
Speaker 5: But two hundred and days, how much damage can be done?
00:28:58
Speaker 4: And one day, let alone, to one hundred and ten from somebody who is not qualified to sit in that seat.
00:29:03
Speaker 5: Oh we live in that though, ain't we?
00:29:05
Speaker 2: Oh?
00:29:05
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah we are, We absolutely are.
00:29:08
Speaker 5: We're living there right now with the president and chief in office.
00:29:12
Speaker 4: And y'all don't y'all don't see what's about to happen again, y'all surviving off his year and a half, because two hundred days from somebody in that position, old housing, everybody's gonna be living in boxes.
00:29:22
Speaker 5: That's why they createing all of these.
00:29:24
Speaker 4: Making houses now out of the containers that they bring stuff with their ship shipping containers and just little tiny house and wooden house. They all want us to live in one little plot in a little bitty house that looks like it's the game plan.
00:29:37
Speaker 3: Shit, I don't think he has the just like RFK running running healthcare and has no healthcare background. I don't think he's got the background for it. You know they have an acting Attorney General, is that Tom Todd Blanche. He's actually the one that's saying there's not going to be an anti weaponization fund, even though I don't know if that's a ploy. So we're looking to the left and they're making it happen to the right. But at least he has the skills. Like I didn't like Bondi, but at least she was an attorney, and she was an attorney over you know, a large area, and she actually had the chops the skills to do the job. That doesn't mean that we would want her to do the job. But the Poltie, I mean, I'm nervous over that. I'm hoping that nothing cia. I mean, it makes me makes me absolutely nauseous.
00:30:26
Speaker 4: Well, let me tell you why, Bobby, Because even though Pam Bondi had the chops and she had the capacity and the knowledge and the history to do it, you know, she had the qualifications, she sold the ass up because she did whatever she was told. She turns she went from being qualified to becoming a loyalist, which means all the qualifications go out the window.
00:30:50
Speaker 3: And I agree that she was a loyalist, but she still didn't do everything he wanted. That's why she doesn't have the job. I don't care what they try to tell you. She wasn't too much of a loyalist. She followed the Constitution to a point and said, hey, look the words are here and it doesn't we can't do that and our asses out. So I'm a little nervous with Blanche. That's the part. I know he's get the qualifications, just like you were saying about Bondi. But I'm nervous because he is more loyal So what is she going to do? She's funny with the Epstein files. Bondi threw Blanche right under. She said she answered nothing when she came in for that hearing last week, and she said that when they were reading the transcript, she said Blanche was the head of all of that stuff. I was not responsible for the day to day he was speak with him. So I'm thinking, oh, this is the time the Democrats should be pushing me more and saying, hey, you supposedly have all the answers.
00:31:46
Speaker 5: Where are they?
00:31:47
Speaker 3: What are they?
00:31:49
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's it probably won't happen, but you know, just saying.
00:31:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you know you were speaking about the birthday, the big birthday celebration earlier, and I'm thinking of that, what do you think of that freedom two fifty with everybody leaving, He's got nobody. He's going to be singing soon.
00:32:11
Speaker 5: I'm thinking that.
00:32:12
Speaker 4: Just what I just see that the ones that's the closest to him finally starts smelling the shit before it hit him. See we only got the aftermath. Now they starting the smell before it hit him. I think everybody is wires en up, Bobby. And to see that this train is headed to a brick wall, there are no stops, and who everybody that's on that train when it hits will perish.
00:32:35
Speaker 3: Scary stuff. But I thought, oh, this is going to be I remember, I mean we were babies in the in the in the buggy for seventeen seventy six with the nineteen seventy six. But that was exciting, you know, everybody was so up for the celebration, and so this this actually makes me a little sad that it doesn't have the same everybody was American during that time, during that year, during those Fourth of July celebrations. This kind of makes me sad for the young kids today, they don't get to feel that that. I don't know pull but anyway, but I thought it was interesting young mc martina McBride brett and I'm forgetting his last name in the commondoorst. I think they all pulled out. I'm like, Jesus, you know who's hanging toime. I'm glad, I'm glad the Commodos for that mean Vanilla Ice, he's in. He's in it to win it.
00:33:28
Speaker 5: He's trying to say who else booking them?
00:33:33
Speaker 3: But he says this is just going to be a celebration of the country. There has nothing to do with politics. And I'm like, oh, Vanilla or whatever your first name is.
00:33:41
Speaker 4: Who?
00:33:42
Speaker 6: Okay?
00:33:44
Speaker 4: Yeah?
00:33:45
Speaker 3: Do you see the horrible monster they're calling it the Claw that they have built on the grounds of the White House and Banana Head during some sort of press engagement this week, comparing it to in eighteen eighty nine in France they built the Eiffel Tower, which was supposed to come right down immediately and they didn't, so you never know, we could leave that up there.
