Outro Music Laugh and Learn with Flame Monroe Hey, hey, hey, this is comedian Flame Monroe and welcome, welcome, welcome to this week's episode of Laugh and Learn. I am here. I know y'all missed us last week, but I was on the road making money so that I could record the episode today.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And I want to thank you all for coming to see me. I was encouraged to almost sit with my co-host by herself. Hiya, Bobby. Hiya, Chutz. How's it going? I can't call it. Ladies and gentlemen, that's my co-host, Bobby Clifford, here with us every week, and I produce the Mr. Aaron Howard. Bobby, I should have let you take a laugh and learn about your stuff last week because I was on the road. I happily would have. I don't know if they would have been bored with me, but I would do it in a heartbeat. Absolutely not. They might not have gotten through but one subject, but they wouldn't have been bored with you. Good God. Rambling all by myself for a half hour? That's like heaven.
Starting point is 00:02:28 You all have no idea. I'm going to unleash Bobby on y'all, just Bobby by herself one week. Y'all going to see what me and Erin experience every week. I miss you though, Bobby. I'm glad we're back. And I lost my cell phone. So first of all, before we go any further, the reason we are able to do this podcast this week is because of the beautiful people down in Yakima, Washington. I left my phone at the airport and the employees from Alaska Airlines. Now, I don't want to fly to the airline no more, but I do like that those employees sent me my phone back. And so the lady who booked us for the show, Tiffany Harris and myself, in Yakima at the casino, at Legends Casino. Danielle actually went to the airport,
Starting point is 00:03:07 picked up my phone, and mailed it to me. So I got my phone back. Unscathed, unbothered, look at God. Good karma. So thank you. Yakima, I owe you. Not a free show, but I owe you, because ain't no free. Ain't no free nowhere.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Yeah, so we had to see each other. So thank you. And this past weekend, I was at Dre's After Hours in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dre's is a very famous club. They got plenty of clubs all over the country. And now they're doing comedy. And so I was able to host this weekend along with Esau McGraw and Eric Schwartz.
Starting point is 00:03:37 And we had an amazing time. They're actually looking at me and possibly doing a residency. So let's see how that goes. It was only the second week, they're gonna build so they're gonna see what they want to do so i'll let you guys know as i know outside of that we are here and then this friday the 27th i will be with tiffany haddish i am on tour with tiffany haddish if you want details go to tiffany haddish.com because I'm touring with Tiffany Haddish my name ain't on nothing but know that I'm on every show and you can find out where we will be in where we
Starting point is 00:04:10 will be we will be in Benton Salem Pennsylvania on Friday the 27th at some casino so get your tickets and see what this one is sold out so you can't come to this one but yeah but thank you guys for joining us today Bobby how. How was your week? It was good. My week is never as exciting as yours. So is it the Parks Casino? P-A-R-K-X? Although they can't get a ticket.
Starting point is 00:04:35 But the people who already bought them. Yeah. That's where it is. See, I didn't get to go to those glamorous. For weeks. It's been sold out for weeks, Ben Salem. So they are waiting for you to come. And I got a dress for y'all ass, Ben Salem.
Starting point is 00:04:50 You're going to think you're in the Salem witch hunts after you see me. Good God. Oh, my God. We're going to have a great time. So, yeah, Bob, we got to get right into this because. Yeah. Let's move it along. Because we owe y'all from last week.
Starting point is 00:05:04 But before we go any further, I want to talk about, before we get into the politics, because you know that ain't never going away, can we get into the ditty of it all? Can we just get into the ditty of it all? I would love to know, Bobby, I would love to know
Starting point is 00:05:17 what an Irish Catholic, a Caucasian, single mother of one thinks about the whole ditty scandal. That would be you. Well, let me tell you what I think. Last night, you know, I love me some Chris Cuomo. I'm watching Cuomo.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Suge Knight is on, calling from jail. In fact, they're talking through the jail. You've got 10 minutes. You're being recorded. The whole deal. And at the end of it, he gave a whole lot of mess, probably vital information that anybody that didn't look like me would have actually understood. And I felt like I needed a hip hop translator at the end.
Starting point is 00:05:54 He said something about having a hard boiled egg up your ass. And if you have a hard boiled egg up your ass, if it doesn't fit, then you're not ready. And I'm like, what is he talking about? And some of it, I did get what he was saying. He said, there's a lot of sexual abuse with it all throughout hip hop, not necessarily just with Diddy. He mentioned Russell Simmons, Clive Davis. And then he said, you know, then obviously Diddy and then Diddy had Bieber and Usher and it kind of went down from there. So I'm curious to see what these Diddy after dark parties are all about. And were they underage? Like, I want to see the proof. Were they underage? Were people hurt? Were they?
Starting point is 00:06:39 Yeah, it's way over my head. I'm usually in bed by 10. So if you're just joining us, Bobby is only repeating a conversation that Suge Knight says and all of these allegations are alleged because he's in jail trying to tell somebody. You're telling a little too late, player. You should have told before you went to jail. Maybe you wouldn't have went to jail.
Starting point is 00:07:00 So I don't want y'all to think that these are the views of Laugh Alert or iHeart or the Black Effect Network. We're only repeating what she'll nice to it from the county jail now we hear it but the institution heard it because they kept saying you have one minute you have exactly and they hung up on him and dusty the producer had to call the jail back and get him back. But no, Chris Cuomo kept saying that too. These are his opinions and he wasn't quite sure he understood everything that was actually going on.
Starting point is 00:07:32 But I will say, Suge did make a comment at one point. I don't know if they were friends. They were not friends, if they're arch enemies. He wasn't trying to put a noose around Diddy's neck. He said this is just, unfortunately, the culture of hip-hop from the top the the big wigs not the the regular schlubs so um well now we know bobby's opinion let me give you man
Starting point is 00:07:53 yeah i don't know nothing about nothing i'm gonna say this and i'm gonna say this publicly when tape number 17 drop that is AI It is not me It just looks and laughs like me It is definitely not me You know what Bobby What's so horrific about all of this I hate all the abuse to the women And the fact if any of this is true
Starting point is 00:08:16 Because these only are listed If any of this is true Because I wasn't there But had I been famous back in the day And invited to a Diddy party My dumb ass would damn sure have been on tape uh but you wouldn't have probably known what was going on and that's sort of what Shug was saying he was saying that it's I mean it was on both sides the abuse went throughout it was they wanted to control you no no no no no I would
Starting point is 00:08:40 have known what was going on oh did you not drink I mean? I don't drink. So it was going to be real hard to drug me unless it was in some Coca-Cola or allegedly from what they've been saying that it was in the ice. Now, I will ask for ice. So that might be it. This is only a Trump. We just, I just saw this, that it's allegedly it was in the ice. So I don't know. It's a lot to this story that's going
Starting point is 00:09:05 to unfold but i'm gonna tell you what what is very very ugly karma is the son of a bitch so if the things that he's accused of if it's coming back to bite him in his ass that could be the case but when i tell you when you get indicted because i was in prison before that indictment an indictment means oh we got you oh we got you. Oh, we got you. So whatever they have, they have because he has a $100 million legal team, and they would not take a $50 million bond from him. That speaks volumes to, yeah, not only do we got you, we want to know where you are at at all times. I'll tell you. So Mark Garagos is a regular contributor to News Nation, especially the Cuomo show. He's on all of them, but he's especially he's not on his team. He has represented Diddy in the past, his daughter, and there's all a lot of you know hearsay and allegations and i you know i want to see the meat what i what's where's the beef that's what i want to say let me let me ask you a question is it confidence or is that we
Starting point is 00:10:15 got paid so well that we will say whatever we need to say you could be right yeah yeah you could be right but he does seem confident he keeps what he kept they all keep repeating is there is only one person there are 50 different witnesses but there's only one person coming coming across so whether that's true not true again we'll have to see it all we have now all we know is that diddy's actually in jail and i'm curious to see what he actually did other than the lube i'd love to say why so much, what do you need? He must have had some sort of strokes in some company. Well, we're going to see what all that lube and baby oil was about.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Because I'm with you, Bobby. You're a man over 50. Your soldiers ain't even shooting out like that no more. They mosey and all, but they ain't even shooting out like that no more. But we will find out at the end of the day what this is all about because when that FBI get to peek into your blinds, good God, they get
Starting point is 00:11:11 binoculars. Ooh, Lord Jesus. Isn't that the truth? They'll find anything. Prayers to all the victims. I wasn't no huge Diddy fan. Like, I went up and down crazy for him. I thought back to his day he was popular. I liked his swag. When I believed that he was doing wonderful for people, I liked all that.
Starting point is 00:11:28 But the bad boy look like he has been a bad boy. And the bad fans is not going to play with this bad boy. Y'all know what's in front. What's next, Bobby? Oh, the Parsons. We lost Tito Jackson. You know, Bobby,
Starting point is 00:11:43 we lost the legend in Chicago, Chili Pepper. But we lost Frankie Beverly, James Earl Jones, Tito Jackson, and Chili Pepper all within the same seven days. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. It seems like that. You get a big mob of them. He was only 70. And I only say only 70 because the life expectancy
Starting point is 00:12:06 is so much longer. They hadn't released it at the beginning, the cause of death. I don't know if he had cancer or a heart attack. I haven't heard anything. I don't know if you have. But yeah, God bless. God bless. God bless. God bless
Starting point is 00:12:21 Catherine. That mama knows she's strong, baby. She done been through a lot And that lady is about 96, 97 years old And to lose multiple kids You know they go before you That's going to be absolutely miserable And you know what else is miserable Parkinson's
Starting point is 00:12:38 And did you see Brett Favre Just announced that he has Parkinson's Well of course he does The only reason he's announcing that he has Parkinson's? Well, of course he does. The only reason he's announcing that he has Parkinson's is because he got busted. Oh, really sad. He was very big into the concussions. He had come forward right from the beginning
Starting point is 00:12:55 about the concussions and being careful and special helmets and blah, blah, blah. So it's really funny that, or coincidental, I should say, not funny, that he got Parkinson's's um but it's i feel badly i hope that somehow they can control it whatever you feel about somebody that's a miserable disease um yeah his hand might be shaking now and i'm not making i'm not making light of it because i don't know what's gonna happen to me but it wasn't shaking when he was
Starting point is 00:13:21 those chicks as opposed to sending to the welfare people who needed that money down there he was signing checks to get a sports arena a center bill for his daughter yeah no uh it's not that i don't have sympathy but uh yeah okay next story please so last week for me i'm hoping because i have to buy a new car um the fed dropped the interest rate by um 0.5 which is a really big you, it's the biggest that they've done in a long time. So hopefully that will trickle down to the auto loans. It will help with buying homes, borrowing money, like maybe my credit cards will actually go down a little bit. And I might see me moving the needle on the principal and everybody else. So that was sort of good news. Something else that's
Starting point is 00:14:07 out that I think is super important to mention, because we're all about the politics here, is we've got early voting is out, people. And something that I received, this is Massachusetts book, information book. You should have been getting over the past two weeks since there is early voting, your information for voters books, which has everything that's on the ballot for your state, what it means, the two different sides speak up. So they kind of make it a little easier for you. And since they're literally putting it in your mailbox, I think it's worth a read. I mean, take five minutes before you go to vote. And please vote.
Starting point is 00:14:43 And get your early votes in, in your early ballots and blah, blah, blah. If you think it's going to be too much on the day. Yeah. Cause you don't want to accidentally check the wrong box because the name sounds democratic. It might not be democratic. It might sound democratic. Oh, that name sound Republican. Don't judge a book by its cover. So make sure you do your research so that you vote for the right person. Because I'm telling you right now, we cannot afford to lose one. And that is down the ticket.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah, no, absolutely. My father, if he used to get confused, this is really sad to say, God rest his soul. He would go like all Irish. He didn't know. They could be Italian and they married a Harrison. They could be an O'Brien that was black. He didn't know they could be, they could be Italian and they married a Harrison. They could be an O'Brien that was black. He didn't care. He just picked all the Irish names. And that's how we used to vote if he couldn't figure it out. So don't do that. Do your homework. I can guarantee you that your dad was not alone in that. I guarantee you that. We all do what's close to us, right? Like, oh, who do I think are the people that are most like me?
Starting point is 00:15:47 So, yeah, but do your due diligence. Well, wait a minute now. Y'all don't follow those words from Bobby. Because all the ones that you think is most like you, look at Mark Robinson in North Carolina. The guy who's running for governor and the black man who's running for governor in North Carolina comes up and says that he's a black Nazi. Then came out and came against trans people and LGBT, just going bombarding it. And now come to find out he was researching a black porn site called Black Africa or Nude Africa, looking up transgender women. Yeah, the same thing you're again.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Yeah, don't judge a book by its cover because a lot of them cover them books like one thing, but the pages like something else. He's not, but he denies that. He says CNN, because that's who was reporting it first. He said that they're wrong. He also described Adolf Hitler's, I'm not going to say it. I think it's Mein Kampf.
Starting point is 00:16:42 It's, you know, the big, like his Project 2022, his book on how to book. He said that was a good read. I think it's main camps. It's, you know, the big, like, like his project, 2020, 22, his book on how to book. He said that was a good read this. I will say in fairness to him, this was all information that was done. He did this prior to running for any office. This is way before he got in. I'm going to say this.
Starting point is 00:16:58 I'm going to say this. And I'm going to say this again, all skin folk and kin folk at who gives a damn. And he's losing. And he kid praising kiss trump behind and when trump was just there in his state doing a press conference he never mentioned his name not one time right it was like he was a herpy a herpy sore on his lip everybody is they're deleting posts they're deleting tweets, anything that was connecting them before. All of a sudden, he is, you know, the ugly stepsister.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Well, let me tell you where he made his biggest mistake. Well, let me tell you where he made his biggest mistake. It's one thing to go against your own race as a black man. It's another thing to go against your own race to kiss the boot of a white man. But it's another thing to go against the trans community that you seem to have a face for. But it's a whole other ballgame messing with that Jewish community.
Starting point is 00:17:53 With that black Nazi statement right there, if nothing else is going to be the nail in his coffin, that will be it. Because Jewish people do not take kindly to the Nazis about the whole Holocaust situation and how they were treated, their ancestors. So right there, you lost. Yeah. Forget even the Nazis. It's just a regular white person. I don't want to hear that, especially in the weird climate, political climate that we're in now with different leaders throughout the world that are looking to be
Starting point is 00:18:21 dictators. I can't believe, you know, I can't believe he would say something so stupid. It'll be interesting to see, though. I mean, we're going to have to kind of step back and take a little peek and see what this actually means on election day. You know, is it going to hurt the GOP? The same things have been done and not those words, but Trump was caught into a political scandal. He was held liable for rape and he's running, you know, and people are up his, his rear end. So I find it a little hypocritical that Trump is backing away from this guy instead of maybe supporting or doubling down, but he's not. Hold on. In Trump's defense, Trump is the orange man that identifies
Starting point is 00:19:02 as white. So there's a very big difference. It's true. It's true. Did you see CNN reported that Melania, for a fundraiser she showed up for in April, they can't figure out who cut the check. But it was like her husband's fundraiser. She was paid $238,000. Trump had to disclose that. You know how they have to do financials?
Starting point is 00:19:30 He actually disclosed that. She charges her husband to, or she's charging his group to pay her to actually show up. I found that a little interesting. Can I just say this? Allegedly, if he paid her $238,000, she got double what Stormy got. Okay, let's go next, please. Honest and true. I do want to say, everybody, please be careful. We know that this is hurricane season. We've got weather coming. And I believe that Helene is going to hit the panhandle in Florida. And it's a full-blown, they say it's a full-blown hurricane. So it's coming off of Mexico, heading there. So everybody, please be careful.
Starting point is 00:20:16 And today is September 25th. She's hitting tonight. Yeah, so be careful. Get your generator, get your everything going. And we have our fingers crossed no yes please take those evacuation warnings no you're right seriously because that's the that's the last result they don't tell you that just because they want to keep the houses safe they want to keep you alive so take those evacuation warnings seriously and please and i know a lot of us are
Starting point is 00:20:44 financially challenged. You can't get with somebody, make friends with somebody and ride with them, you know. Well, they have schools and stuff. Yeah, they have schools and they have shuttles. I know that. Some people are just opposite and they don't want to leave the houses. But you just made a very good point. You said, you know, they want to keep us alive.
Starting point is 00:21:02 But the other people is it's the first responders. We can't have 20 first responders having to go and rescue you when they could be doing something else, you know, helping out other people, you know, more, more, more people, it's not responsible to do it. So, um, so yes, but for the people that are sick, I always get nervous that they don't have their defibrillators and all that nonsense in there. They don't have their insulin on ice. So take those precautions. Did you see Joe Biden on The View today? I did. He's a class act. I did see President Joe Biden on The View today. You know what I took away, Bobbi? It was, oh, I love my my president but it was very slow listening to him speak so when they would show the old clips of him years ago you could see the actual change not just the physical change absolutely but the way that he spoke he was so much slower and woo woo and so when they
Starting point is 00:22:00 did the comparison like that I was like oh wow now i see because i was like whoopee i was riding that with joe to the end you know i was i'm riding with my but he ain't driving yeah but i still was i see that i see that so he still believes he would have beat trump which i find because he said the worst he said which i thought was classy is he was a loser and then he made a comment about not having anything redeemable socially. And I thought if that was Trump, he would have doubled down. He would have been making big insults. I loved that Whoopi said what a lot of people, because I am one of them, she just didn't like how it was all handled. She didn't think that all of us should have been so
Starting point is 00:22:42 privy to a lot of public information when it should have been kept private. And I agree with that. He said he was at peace with his decision. I liked his explanation. He said he got so much done, way more than anybody would have anticipated in that first term, that he wanted to try to keep the momentum up and try to get the rest of what he had promised everybody done within the second term. I truly believe he wouldn't have finished the second term. I think he would have done a year or two to complete what he wanted and that he would have handed the reins over to Kamala. That's really what I thought. He was positive about her. She's smart. She's capable. She's able. He's a class
Starting point is 00:23:19 act. I'm very sad to see him go. I really am. or not have some part that we're not going to see him on a day to day well I enjoyed him on the view as well Bobby but I did see the difference oh absolutely again he is still our president and we appreciate him for 50 years of service
Starting point is 00:23:38 in four days I think four or six days there is going to be a vice presidential debate between jd vance and tim walls and i think i'm more excited to see this one than i was to see harry i mean to see uh trump and uh harris i am dying to see um well that's if um that's if vance isn't in jail. It's never going to happen. It's sort of a waste of time. But the Haitians who live in Springfield are asking for their arrest.
Starting point is 00:24:13 They're bringing a case forward. It's not really going to go anywhere, so it's kind of silly, although they're making a point. But they are calling for the arrest of the two of them. So we'll see. I mean, you can't say that a group of people eat something. I mean, it's such a lie, and then they kind of get away with it. So,
Starting point is 00:24:32 anyway, I'd like to see that debate, too. That'll be interesting. I believe that Trump made the biggest mistake when he was talking about he was going to go to Springfield. There's no need for him to go to do any kind of rally at Springfield because of all of the drama that he has caused.
Starting point is 00:24:50 And to me, that is almost putting your hand in a lion's mouth. And now Iran has come out with death threats. You've already had two failed assassinations. But you keep baiting the damn bear. You keep poking the bear. It's almost like you're doing it on purpose. He probably is because it keeps him. It keeps him.
Starting point is 00:25:12 We're talking about him. Let me finish my thought. Sorry. I don't want anybody to hurt this man, but I don't want you to keep poking the bear and to give people leaving breadcrumbs for them to follow the lead to you it's kind of like why are you provoking these people but after the insult that he did to a beautiful place in
Starting point is 00:25:32 springfield because i'm telling you i was there with dave chappelle i don't and with danielle rollins i don't like the fact that he keeps doing that and they keep allowing him to do this this is partially the media's fault because you just have let a madman run amok and say what the hell he want to say and then then with the and these iranian uh death threats are scary because you know the whole allegedly jared kushner and trump was supposed to get two billion dollars on the saudis you know and so we don't you know we don't know bobby we don't, you know, we don't know, Bobby. We don't know. Yeah. We'll see. You know, we'll see. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Well, allegedly they want their money back, supposedly, because whatever was supposed to transpire, I don't know. That was what the news MSNBC was reporting. And I saw it on there. So this is not from us. We're just reporting what we saw just our way. But if they want their $2 billion back, girl, that's a lot of money. It's damn sure more than I get. Gosh, it's a gazillion times
Starting point is 00:26:32 more than I have. I'm rolling quarters trying to figure out how I'm going to make a car payment again. I'm so used to not having a car payment. I think he likes the assassination attempts. He doesn't want the attempts, but he keeps things moving. We're still talking about him i mean they did find out the the investigators just looked at that and said that they there were all sorts of mistakes made which
Starting point is 00:26:53 we know the communications and all that we talked about it last time but they had that new one that what's it is it ryan roof is that how you say his name? He did the second one. God bless the eyes on whoever that Secret Service man was that they saw a gunstock sticking out of a shrubbery. I would have been thinking, ooh, what is that? But, yeah. That makes you wonder, though, Bobby. So you could see a gun through the bright Florida sun tricking through a fence in the open daylight at 500 yards. But you couldn't see this other guy crawling up the roof that was only like six feet away and being bold. It just makes you wonder.
Starting point is 00:27:36 I think they saw him. I think they thought, I mean, they were communication problems. They thought that the Pennsylvania local cops were going to get it. It went vice versa. There was no, they should have had walkie-talkies and stuff that was synced, but they didn't. But anyway, it's coming out that the Secret Service has got egg on its face with that. But they did pass a bill
Starting point is 00:27:55 unanimously that both Harris and Trump will get active president status as far as many Secret Service men. So hopefully this stuff will never happen again. And hopefully they have the best of the best instead of the B team. Well, I hope Kamala Harris gets the ones from the 70s,
Starting point is 00:28:16 because they would take a bullet for their leader. These new ones might step the hell out the way and be like, I'm going to let you have that one. I know. She has her own. I don't know how many you get as the vice president. So I hope she gets to have her, the people she's comfortable with, and then just have some people that are, that are sort of added on. Did you see, there was, I think it's called full measure of the show.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Trump was asked if he doesn't win, would he run again? He actually said no. I thought he would for sure say yes. There was no way he would let that go. He would have been 82 running again. But I went, well, good. If he doesn't win this time, at least we would have shut it down. Well, clearly, we see he couldn't possibly run again uh america y'all see the same thing that we see all of that foolishness that he did with joe biden sleepy joe
Starting point is 00:29:12 his he needs a cognizant test everything has come back to trump is biting the bullet he really is just biting the bullet on this because we're watching him babble and go off topic and forget what the topic was. I'm like, has he been in my animals? I used to tell that joke about Biden, but I think Trump had two of them. Oh, my God. I'm with you. And he talks like a two-year-old, like he's on the second-grade playground.
Starting point is 00:29:41 His big insult for Kamala was she's dumb. I mean, who says that? I haven't said that since I was probably five. Get a better insult. Something a little more put together. In the words of Vice President Harris, turn the page is the same old playbook.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Turn the page is the same old playbook. So it looks like we also can for a government shutdown, at least now for in September. They passed the bill, the spending bill, but it's going to be in December. It's going to be kicked down until December just before poor Biden gets out of office like he needs to deal with that. But Johnson got it, got it passed. The one thing that they ended up removing was Zelensky and Ukraine needs more
Starting point is 00:30:27 help, and they pulled that out of it. But I actually think that the Senate and or President Biden will do an executive order and get them what they need, just so we could get the spending passed. Well, speaking of Ukraine and that war in Zelensky, I hear that, Bobby. And again, I try to stay away from those wars. Prayers to them. And I know that Ukraine needs to help. And they have been so diligent in fighting back.
Starting point is 00:30:57 But there was just a missile strike yesterday that killed how many people? Yeah, 472. Was that Hezbollah? 35 children. It was Hezbollah, but in Lebanon, I believe. 35 kids. I don't like seeing 35 children.
Starting point is 00:31:12 And then last week when we weren't here, we would have reported on, they also, the Israelis somehow infiltrated. I don't know how they did it. They either sold beepers and cell phones that were already had something in them or they somehow, somehow infiltrated them and they blew up. And there were a whole bunch of people that were killed that way in maimed and some children. I just don't like when the kids,
Starting point is 00:31:40 when innocents are involved. And that happened simultaneously. So do you know if something like that happened in the united states and the cell phones were because we all keep our cell phones in our pocket our purse some people carry them in their back pocket in their titty you know or always close to your face good and simultaneously we don't even have enough medical directors to handle the severity of something like that this is is what I'm talking about. This terrorism and these wars, it's just out of control. It really is out of control.
Starting point is 00:32:11 And we need to pay attention. We need a ceasefire. We need all the hostages returned. And everybody go to that neutral corner. This is almost kind of like, we can't blame this on Trump, but all this division is what's happening across the world, not just across America. I know. The one thing I liked that President Biden was talking about was somebody had asked if the hostages that Hamas has would
Starting point is 00:32:41 be part of their ceasefire. And he said that it's a two-pronged thing and that is that ceasefire. They have to return them. I believe they're close to some sort of ceasefire. I was reading CNN had an alert up a little bit ago for Lebanon and they're hoping, because that's for Hezbollah that now lives throughout Lebanon. And they're hoping that that will trickle down to something for Israel and Gaza. Again, President Biden is very optimistic that before he leaves, something will get done. He has also said that as much as he supports Israel, he does not believe in what Bibi Netanyahu is actually doing. He's told him he needs a two-state solution. And he's sticking to that as well and pushing with that. And hopefully, Vice President Harris, if she gets in, or when she gets in, I'm going to say that, I'm going to put region, enough. And it does affect us, everybody. Don't think it's over there.
Starting point is 00:33:48 We're helping them to keep it over there so we don't have it here on our side. Absolutely. Yeah. It is. And your vote does count. And, Bobby, you're right. When you get your playbook, because that is what you are getting in the mail, your playbook, go down the line.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Take the time to read it so you'll pick the right candidate. And it's not just about the president and the vice president. We cannot let, not the enemy, but we cannot let Americans that think so differently from us get in such a place of control to where we are back in this situation again in the next four to eight years. This is preponderance for us, for our children, for our grandchildren. So make sure that you understand who you're voting for and research why you're voting for the candidates that you're voting for. Because they look like you. I don't mean that they think like you. No, and that's absolutely.
Starting point is 00:34:40 And it has stuff about your taxes being raised. There's all sorts of different stuff in it. So give it a look. And I love that idea of a playbook. I think that sounds terrific. So give that a peek. I'm trying to look and see if we have anything extra here that I missed. Kamala Harris is supposed to be going down to the border.
Starting point is 00:34:59 I think it's Friday. Fingers crossed and see if she can get anything done there. The Boeing strike, they are still out. it's Friday. Fingers crossed and see if she can get anything done there. The Boeing strike, they are still out. They've come up. But not enough of the workers. Hold on, Bobby. Speaking of strikes, speaking of strikes, let's have a
Starting point is 00:35:16 commercial break. Absolutely. Okay, so we're back. So speaking of strikes, Bobby, the longshoremen are talking about going on strike that will cause food shortages and so many shortages everywhere they're coming from the piers i need you guys to pay very close attention to that especially if you live in a place where a lot of your your industry comes through shipping, due to shipping and containment. Because if the longshoremen decide they're going to strike, it's going to price gouge everything.
Starting point is 00:35:50 And the price of everything is going to skyrocket. So if you can, and it's starting to look, getting serious about that, stock up. Canned goods, meat, whatever you need to do to survive. Water, because we will have a shortage nationwide if these longshoremen i i need them to pay these longshoremen their work and treat them accordingly because y'all don't understand it y'all think that that stuff show up in the middle of the night my mother used to always say that paper towel don't come in this house by al's toilet paper don't come
Starting point is 00:36:20 by al's somebody delivers all of that stuff and if we get a longshoreman strike around the country, that will be detrimental to the economy and to our pockets. Food is already high as hell. It's the truth. And that's an errand in my heart. My grandfather was a longshoreman, and it's a tough gig, too. It's a really tough gig.
Starting point is 00:36:40 And they're not well paid. They need better benefits. They need everything. And we rely on them. All these service positions, we rely on these people. They deserve to be paid a good wage so they can support their families. Because AI is about to take over. Oh, I know. And in some ways, as I've said, it's a great thing. Like, as far as medical records, it'll do dictation for the physicians so they can see patients.
Starting point is 00:37:05 You know, since we already are down on nurse practitioners and physicians, we need more of them. To take something off of their plates is terrific. But in other ways, it's a little scary. And in some ways, they take jobs that nobody else wants. But not that. You know, we need people actually handling the stuff and seeing that there's no there's no people in the shipping containers and drugs and everything else. So let's be good to the longshoremen. And I don't have much else flame other than that.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Unless you want to have another thought on that. I have this thought. I need everybody to make sure that you are registered to vote. Make sure that all your ducks are in a row because you know that the the cheat is on in fact the cheat is so on that in montana today when they went to do early voting they had removed connelly harris's name off of the ballot pay attention her name was removed off the ballot so that is where we are so they would have to what would we i'll research that so if you get to your voting area and that happens to you and your person is not
Starting point is 00:38:13 on there i'm assuming that we just write them in but let's be careful because we can't have yeah you can't have writing on your thing so the cheat is on you to understand. You're going to have to do some homework this election. This election is not just about casting your ballot. You are going to have to do some homework as an American in order to save the country that you love. We thank you here at Laugh and Learn. We appreciate you. I hope to see you guys.
