coming up in this episode of finding common ground JD Vance complained that the United States was being run by democrats and a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives that's a toxic relationship oh my goodness I need to take a picture with a cat and send out an email to everybody the Catman not the cat lady the Catman bill come on man there are two sides to every coin how do we deal with racial issues when they affect relationships finding common ground on all those issues that we come against there's black and there's white and I think as Christians we have to learn how to get together cuz we're not in heaven I've met more interesting people just by God just bringing them in Republicans and Democrats but a lot of times when it comes to race and it comes to culture and it comes to perception even as Christians we don't always understand we look at it through our lenses there's bill I grew up in a suburb of Cleveland Finding Common Ground on Racial Issues called Parma uh any black people in Palmer there was not one not one black person Bill not one come on Bill you got to have one a token black person a token and there's Odell I grew up in Charleston South Carolina public housing single mom divorced single mom with four kids and I came up through segregation and all that kind of stuff if a black person drove through the town the police would stop and escort him out Bill and still are finding common ground a part of what we have to do is listen to each other find the common ground and question not questioning you like you're in a witness stand but questioning you for a better understanding father God we just come to you in the precious name of Jesus the Christ God we just thank you for grace and mercy we thank you for all the many blessing God we just thank you for just blessing us and keeping us and covering us God God we out here trying try to make a different we're trying to find Common Ground we're trying to find a safe place where

America God we love you God we adore you and we thank you for your son Jesus Christ in Jesus name we pray and believe amen amen amen dearly father we just uh lift up uh our country as we go through this uh political drama uh we know you're in control and uh you will raise up the correct leaders for our country and uh let it uh let us be accepting of those leaders and supporting them and coming together to find Common Ground amen bill bill bill you know I got a lot to talk about Bill so I have to slow myself down I got goodlooking black guy got a lot to The Debate Dynamics and Political Commentary talk about but I'm a about a little bit of things and then I'm going to hand it over but Bill guess what what look what the cat drag did I'm talking about the debate the cat or the Catwoman whatever whatever you want to say because of South Carolina down the dirt roads we would say look what the Cat Dragged In and usually that's someone who arrived and you know you look you someone who you really didn't like or look what the Cat Dragged In was somewhat negative but this whole thing bill has hit the fan you know you know you know by wasn't a good Christian I would say when the blank hits the fan bill when it hits the fan that's never been a good thing even down the dirt roads of South Carolina did they say that in Perma when it hits the fan bill they say the kabasi hit the fan well something hit the fan in the debate bill now let me go back real quickly for our audience who don't really understand this whole cat lady thing and all this kind of stuff and then we talk a little about Taylor Swift then we divide jump into the debate but no in 2021 interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson then Senate candidate Vance JD Vance complained that the United States was being run by democrats corporate oligarchs and a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and so you know they could just make the rest of the country Miserable as them let me re read that slow it down I'm I'm a little excited bill in 2021 interview at Fox News host taka Carson then Senate candidate JD Vance complained that the United States was being run by democrats corporate oligarchs and a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they've made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too it's just the basic facts he said you look at Carla Harris Pete budes OIC and the entire future of the Democrats controlled by people without children Vance continued and how does it make any sense that we're turning our country over to people who don't really have a direct stake in it now bill now Taylor Swift shows up Taylor Swift one of the music industry biggest stars indors KLA Harris after the debate she included a picture of herself holding a cat and finding the message childless cat lady a reference to the comments made by the Ohio US senator JD Vance Trump's running mate bill they tell me that Taylor Swift has about 284 million followers do you think Taylor could give us a follower or two bill um she might she might she um she she has a lot of followers and she has some influence um I think she appeals to the younger female crowd and uh you know and this this race is going to be so close that every little bit helps it I don't think it hurt her getting the endorsement and or saying that the cat lady reference you know I just don't see that you know JD Vance and Har Carlson Tucker that's a toxic relationship oh my goodness they're both you know one eggs on the other and they come up with more crazy stuff you know last night the thing that kind of struck me is that people in uh Ohio the immigrants were killing the dogs and cats and eating them and I'm like what you know oh you cow you can't make that up you know I would have believed him if they said they stole the cow or they stole the chicken or a pig or something but eating cats and dogs I mean where do they come up with this stuff boy and and people believe it you know there's people believe in it before we go further I want to say something you know you know my our son my son will and your buddy will yes goal he listens to his podcast cuz he drives long distance okay he called me up the other day he says you going to Ukraine he heard it on the podcast how did your son hear that you going out the country on the podcast go I forgot to tell him so will I'm sorry well we are sorry will you're still a man will you have the long hair with the with the uh pony tail and everything that that that whole look bill will we're sorry we're sorry will I am so sorry stay in a rad buddy stay straight yeah and don't run over any dogs and cats bill will don't run over any dogs and cats if you see any dogs and cats bring them up and we can you have them for dinner speaking of that here's here's Max yeah Max hey for those who know Max is uh one of Bill's uh pet dogs so Bill help me with this piece when he said that okay you're laying on the couch or lay and you're lazyy I I was sitting in a lazy boy chair with a bourbon and ice in my hand in my PJs and uh I go did I just hear what he just said they're eating cats and dogs in Ohio I said oh my gosh I had no idea I gotta you know when we travel through Ohio I'm gonna have to keep the doors locked for the dogs we bring the dogs with us well let me say this now let's be consistent Odell when former president Donald Trump in the first debate beat by like he stole something I came and said okay let me tell you what happened former president Donald Trump beat Biden like he stole something and the most funniest line was when Biden said something and former president Trump said I don't know what he said he don't know what he said everybody remember now we all laughed and that's true so let's be honest because we have to be honest I think last night that KLA vice president KLA Harris kicked former president Trump's that's what I think Bill but people spending it like it's like wait a minute guys let's be honest let's be truthful I mean everybody kept saying wait till she meet Trump wait till we get to Trump wait till they get to the strong man to bully Trump Trump's gonna put her in her place guess what bill I think what it was all said and done Trump got trumped he took the bait oh he took the bait he took the bait that's for sure uh when she and I think what Analyzing the Debate Performance of Kamala Harris got him over the edge was when he said uh she told him that in his uh rallies people were getting bored and leaving I thought I thought he was going to chew chew the microphone off he wanted to walk across and just smack her I think but what is about crowd size and rallies that's almost like that's his trigger they knew what his trigger was Bill it was almost like you know you getting an argument me getting an argument with my wife or misunderstanding and she says something that just triggers me and I have to catch myself but you know we've married so long we don't trigger each other anymore because we know how that goes yeah they obviously know what triggers him you know he's got such a big ego it's uh it's interesting you know I was looking at some of the tweets and some of the stuff that was going on through Fox News and you know it's it's they basically said that the two moderators ganged up on trump it was three against one and Trump trump when he walked in you know after they got done they go into a room and the spin room the spin room yes and the first thing he said that was the best debate I've ever had and uh some of the people that were in the room said some of his followers you could see the look in their face like no that was not good it's just one of those situations Bill where he went in and he mopped the floor with Biden I agree he moed the floor Biden but then he got the the black woman came in she walked up to him and said let me introduce myself or we say down the dirt roads of South Carolina you don't know me so let me reintroduce myself to you so they said you know let me just read the way they said it reported the Democratic vice president opened the face off with a powerful move with a powerful move marching across the stage to Trump's lecture to shake his hand KLA Harris she said introducing herself as the pair met for the first time ever let's have a good debate nice to see you have fun the former Republican president responded The Exchange set the tone for the 90minut debate to come Harris controlled the conversations at times baiting Trump with Jabs at his Economic Policy his refusal to concede his 2020 election loss and even his performance at his rallies Trump while measured early on grew more annoyed as the night went on and one significant moment played out after the two candidates left the stage when Mega star Taylor Swift said she voted for Harris bill I think that's when it hit the fan yeah it's uh it's interesting how each side spins it you know I went on Fox and then I went on MSNBC and everybody spins it but did you you watched it and I watched it I try and give people the benefit of the doubt if they're doing a good job I'm going to tell them they're if they did a B job say yeah that wasn't a good one you know clearly Biden's was horrible they should have never put that guy on the stage he he didn't even know he was on the stage go you know I'm a Democrat you can't talk about my guy like that oh by the way it's true that's true I know and poor guy oh man I feel sorry for him you know this one she held her own uh you know I think the only criticism that I saw that was probably could hold water of her was she never got into any substance of her positions but in her defense you get two minutes you can't say you can't explain a complex policy issue in two minutes so I guess if you if you want to check her policies and I haven't done this I'm sure they're on her website where she stands on different things you know the debate at this stage is Showmanship exactly exactly and I think it's theater and I think the thing I was looking for is who looks more presidential who holds thems up as the representative of the greatest country in the world and who doesn't embarrass us and we know that they're they've got our best interest in mind versus their party and themselves well you know former president Donald Trump is excellent and what many people that I know personally who are Republicans like wait to wait to Trump get his hands on or wait till they face off yeah this is good but she's afraid hear yeah oh wow I heard that wait wait wait till she face tear up tear up yeah when you man when she's standing there uh looking at Trump and Trump's looking at her man she's gonna fall apart that's what they said same thing happened with Biden wait to wait until she meets Trump and guess what it was wait until Trump met her yeah because I I think you think he's going to do another debate no he's afraid of her now no I ain't gonna say he's afraid of her because his ego is too big to be afraid of anything and that's the scary part but I think that her intellect cuz she wasn't emotional her intellect and you know it's hard to argue with someone when they're intellectually running circles around you from a fact that because one of the things that the vice president didn't do she didn't answer all the questions correctly she said what she said and that's the same thing the former president does I mean right now was hard to get candidates to answer questions they throw a little it's almost like I'll give you 10% of some of an answer and I'm going take my other 90% and talk about what I want to talk about because The Role of Endorsements in Politics former president Trump talked about immigration immigration immigration immigration immigration and the one that tripped him up the most bill when the whole thing is well you said she's black she's white she this this this and he he got caught it's like he got caught off guard and maybe he got caught off guard because the last time they asked her about that she was comment but this time she went back to you know all the times that they got fined for not R to black people start talking about what happened in Central Park and everything he did there then he had to defend himself and that was all about black men and people in the black community who want to support or are supporting Trump is like okay let me shine a light on who you supporting and he got himself all tangled up in that whole race thing yeah because that's tricky when you it's easy to spew it out there a-hole countries and all this kind of stuff and immigrants from Hades who's eating the dog and cats which one he said Venezuelans I think exactly so they're eating the dogs and the cats it's easy to say all that stuff but when someone coming back at you that caught him off guard he he he got off track and a lot of stuff he just kept going back to angry he just looked angry he looked like a old white guy who's mad well you know it's the black gentlemen and the Puerto Rican gentlemen that were charged with the murder in Central Park five I think there were five young men yes five young men yes I was in New York City when working and when all that happened oh wow I didn't know that and I remember all the hubub about it Trump at the time he was you know he was up and coming he did the Trump Tower he was doing other things and there was a Central Park uh ice skating ring that had been closed for a DE cuz the city couldn't afford to keep it up and the merchants and stuff wanted to open up that ice skating ring because it brought a lot of tourist down it was just a nice thing so Trump offered the city that if he could pay for it he would have it done in two months and they they've been working on it for years trying to figure out how to do it and he did it in two months wow and it became a big deal Trump delivers on his promise you know and that kind of started where people were interested in hey this guy gets things done he's a businessman he makes it Happ he makes it happen so they're like wow that's pretty cool so when this murder came in Central Park right after that it became a headline and that's when he took the ad out and everybody thought these kids were guilty I mean everything that pointed to them the evidence they were showing until they did the DNA and then they found out these kids had nothing to do with it but they had already been persecuted and prosecuted I think they were in jail for a little bit Yeah U and then they were for a lot of bit not a little bit a lot of bit yeah and they they eventually were freed they were there was somebody else that did it it's interesting you stated something early and I want to kind of go back and revisit that you stated that people were saying it wasn't fair because the moderators cheated you know Bill I used to be a very slim and trim good-look basketball player High School uh College one one state championships national championships but some nights when I went out there Bill my jump shot just wasn't falling it wasn't going in it was so hard to blame the refs when you missing your jump shots you know what I mean I mean I'm out there and so I say that to say Trump and others can blame the moderators but Bill it was him it was him well you know I was thinking the same thing if you lose a game you start making excuses you start whining and all I hear from Fox is whining I don't hear anything positive in fact this is this is one of the things that came up this guy posted Trump's support for law enforcement Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsing camela what Kamala if you're worried about crime be advised that Trump has the endorsement of every major police Union in the country I don't know if that's true Kamala has the Kindergarten Cop oh wow that's Arnold uh yeah he was he was in a movie called kindergart cop boy and uh you know that's the kind of shots these guys are taking they're whining and when you're when you see people whining a lot yeah you don't hear the Harris Camp whining for anything what she's coming to Greensboro you know she's coming to Greensboro yeah tomorrow okay well are you going no no no no not that have anything against her because you know everybody understand Odell stands for the last two years no Biden no Trump 2024 Biden has dropped out so I'm halfway there and last night Trump got beat so he's halfway there because there too now the issue bill this is the issue Trump had this race one and we talk about that from time to time oh by the way great job I'm getting so many positive feedback from the last show and your comments with Robbie Perkins I mean I'm getting all kind of feedback on that positive feedback but we still don't have 284 million followers Taylor Swift Taylor Swift Taylor sent us a couple followers but but back to the point though bill when you sit there and you Vouchers vs. Public School Funding think about everything's going on we have to be honest and so as former president Trump is starting to say if we lose the election it's going to be blood spill all this kind of stuff but if you got a minute can I share a little bit about Taylor Swift and the cat lady thing those are unforced errors so her post says and I think it had what a trillion likes and it says like many of you I watched the debate tonight if you haven't already now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and The Stance these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most as a voter I made sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country recently I was made aware of Al of me artificial intelligence of me falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site it really conjured up my fears around Ai and the dangers of spreading misinformation it brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter the simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth I'll be casting my vote for KLA Harris and Tim warts in the 2024 presidential election I'm voting for KLA Harris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe needs a warrior to Champion them I think she is steady handed gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos wow I was so hardened and impressed by her selection of running mate Tim warts who has been standing up for lgbtq plus rights ivfs and a woman's rights to her own body for decades I've done my research and I've made made my choice your research is all yours to do and the choice is yours to make I also wanted to say especially to the firsttime voters remember that in order to vote you have to be registered I also find it's much easier to vote early I'll link where to register and find early voting dates and information to my story with love and hope Taylor swith childless cat lady wow it's pretty powerful pretty powerful that's so powerful Bill I'm going to put on my Barack Obama special edition glasses cause now I had the Barack Obama and I had the you know Dion Sanders yeah Dion on the day yeah now I'mma put on my Barack hat you know so I have my hat on you know I have my glasses on I Got My barck Bobblehead black is back baby black is back black is back just remember black is back so so goo with my Obama hat and my Obama glasses so your buddy Speaker of the House decided he's going to try to push through a bill that's going to shut off funding and cause the country to close if he could let me read it because see this this stuff is too rich right now this is just too rich and you know how this goes they says the legislators to continue Government funding this federal government yes the federal government thank you when the new budget year begin October 1 includes a requirement that people registering to vote must provide proof of citizenship Johnson Republican for Louisiana signal that he was not backing off linking the two main pillars to the bill so what he says is this if you all don't allow this new addition in there a federal because States already have their different things the federal that you have to show citizenships not just IDE anymore citizenships to vote and that's a big push that the gop's been pushing nationally we all know that but he can't push it through so he backed off he said don't have enough votes yeah I guess last night after last night's debate when it hit the fan I think it hit the fan what you call it what would you call it kabasi kabasi yeah hit the kabasi I want to know but I don't want to know how do you spell kabasi what does kabasi mean kabasi is a Polish sausage so when the sausage hits the fan sausage hits the fan yeah it's if you I The Impact of Political Drama on Education have to make some kabasi for you you'll like it it's good under the grill uh yeah it's good oh boy some good mustard and so when it was all said and done do you think last night's debate changed anything bill as we move toward close I think people saw Harris for the first time uh they were curious how those two were going to interact if Trump was going to you know tear her up like he did Biden and it didn't it didn't happen that way in fact I just got an email from the Harris campaign okay you want see what it says you're Republican bill what the Harris campaign doing I have no idea so the kabasi what's it called kabasi kabasi kabasi hit the fan and they found you the Harris Campa campaign has found you what did they say go but what did they say will you join Taylor Swift in supporting vice president kamla Harris campaign a donation of $25 or any amount that's right for you is the best way to have impact right now thank you Taylor Swift cat lady oh you said did they say cat lady on there too wow picture of her and the cat wow so Bill that just came out so this may have went to her how many people 20 some OD million people 284 million and asking everybody for just how just if everybody gives a dollar you know think about it oh yeah if everybody just gives a dollar she's asked for $20 $25 yeah and Taylor Swift's allowing her to use her name image and likeness to ask for dollars yeah I guess president former president Trump is like I'll be a monkey's uncle you know something I need to take a picture with a cat and send out an email to everybody the Catman not the cat lady the Catman Bill come on man it's like we can't make this stuff up man I mean Biden gets creamed and just wiped over the floor and now Trump you know assass attempt and by no we we even we totally disagree with any assassination attempt so let's make that clear when he got off the podium and gave the black power sign you know can someone tell the former president Trump that when he balls his fist up like that's really the black power sign so when he got up the black power sign bill the race was won it was over dro the mic it was over yeah and then some of my Republican friends from DC said the Democrats tricked us cuz Biden got out of the race they tricked us they tricked us they bait it and switch but you all said Biden needs to get out of the race that's what you all said I said Biden and Trump needs to get out of the race so now we tricked him black is back baby black is back hey I got to share something with you I've been trying to get this multi-millionaire guy to donate to my campaign uh oh uh oh and uh and he you know I've met him a number of times I've had dinner with him and his girlfriend okay couple times multi-millionaire guy yeah and um and you know I talked to him a little bit about what was going on and but I really didn't get into it so you know we have a mutual friend that's really close to him so I called I text my called my mutual friend and said hey could you set up a meeting with this guy you know I'm just trying to sit down and see if he'd be willing to donate so he sent a text to him and he says uh hi the guy I'm not going to give his name okay I'm copying Bill Goble was running for gford County School Board bill is a great guy I'd like to facilitate you guys having a discussion he he replied my brother if Bill is not a right-wing Republican a trump supporter and supported by Guilford County Republican party I have no interest I am radicalized to the far right by crazy Marxist Democrats I ran away from socialism to embrace free enterprise now we have an idiot Bernie Sanders a Jew who is against who who September and October I'm working full time for Republican Party Up and Down the ballot we will support Israel you have been on the wrong side for too long wait wait wait I'm sorry I'm sorry that's a five hoes so this gentleman who you've met two or three times didn't know who Bill goo was and not when the whole world know you've been sued you've been D kicked out the Republican party so he never brought any of this up in your conversation with him yeah so you have a mutual friend reach out to him and that's his response to the mutual friend and when he say you have been on the wrong side for far too long is he referring to you Bill goo or to you all's mutual friend mutual friend wow and then my mutual friend said I think bill has been a lifelong Republican although there has been some issues with the local Republican party I respect your perspective and I certainly agree with you about Bernie Sanders and the others from his philosophy So I responded I said whoa whoa so you jumped in Goble oh yeah I going respond I said thank you for the introduction I said the guy's name I've been endorsed by school teachers cafeteria workers bus drivers maintenance workers law enforcement I have the best qualification experience to be on the school board compared to my competitors to me school boards need to be nonpartisan be focused on the kids and the parents not any particular party I appreciate any consideration you may have what' he say he never responded wow so you know it's this is this is how crazy it's got people are no longer using common sense to look at candidates as opposed to you know he's a businessman he owns a lot of businesses he wants to hire qualified experienced people yes obviously yes he doesn't say are you a d or an R right so Bill as you process as you as you process that let me ask a question I endorse you as a good-look black man and a Democrat does my my endorsement of you for Schoolboard as a private citizen not as a preacher or anything like that as a private citizen does that help you or hurt you you know I've I've thought The Importance of Nonpartisan Support about that in not only your endorsement but others okay and because I'm running unaffiliated I think certain endorsements drag me into things as opposed to being staying unaffiliated and not saying yours does but there's some other ones you know I think the ones that keep me neutral are the teachers cafeteria workers the G bus drivers and those folks in law enforcement yes that keeps me right in the middle so those endorsements I'll throw up big time right right right um the womb of League of Voters is looking at it the Realtors Realtors is kind of nonpartisan but there are some partisan ones that were Democrat that have endorsed me over the Democrat mhm I had a republican a Statewide Republican current Statewide office political office high up called me the other day and uh he said hey Bill you know he gave me his name he said I'm calling you for two reasons he said one is I think you got screwed by the local Republican party is this a guy Republican or Democrat he's a repu big Republic big Republican and he said I'm sorry to see that happen and I just want you to know I support you he said um I can't come out in public with that because they'll come after me and I'm trying to get reelected and he said so I've got I said look I'm not asking you to to do that but I would ask you that in private conversations with people say that I'm a good guy and I'm I'm worthy of that position he said I'll be happy to do that and then he asked me he says I need a contribution so let me ask the magic question did you make a contribution of course so because I like the guy I think he's right for the job he's do he's done a good job he's currently there and I'd like to see him stay there all right can can I say something now please yeah okay we say that we need elected officials who can work across the aisles and find common ground to get some done amen we say that we have to reach across the aisles it's not Republicans are not Democrats are not Independents it's about the children keeping the main thing the main thing that's what we say but obviously our actions are we don't care about that as much we talk a good game because for the individual who I have no idea who they are to say I don't care that you're doing a good job all I care about I'm radicalized because I hate somebody over here on this other side so I'm going to be over there but what happened to the kids goo when when adults act like children what happened to the kids just help me help me understand what happens to the kids when we're fighting each other in our kids are going to hell in a hand basket help me Bill help me help me help me please help me well you're you're absolutely right you know the the issue is this week the state legislature gave $284 million million to uh the voucher system in addition to what they had we've been asking for money to give the teachers more pay because they're they're underpaid way underpaid our maintenance people are Mak $15 an hour cafeteria workers McDonald's they make $15 hour cafeteria workers are underpaid the maintenance people in the building are underpaid the bus drivers ear paid and they're giv 284 million to vouchers now a lot of those vouchers are going to private schools people that are attending private schools and most of those schools are religious based of one sort or another and chances are that they the people that are sending their kids there can afford the tuition so we're g giving them basically welfare and we're as opposed to giving paying our teachers so they could find the money to give vouchers but they can't find any more money to give teachers pay increase okay help me understand because you own this and the good-looking black gu is not always own things the way I should be so help me with this piece goal at first they had a set amount for vouchers right right and when that ran out or certain people didn't get it and folks start complaining and the right people started complaining instead of the wrong people they went back and said we going to find some more money versus when the school teacher says Hey Y'all we need to make a decent living it's no more money for you it's no room in the end Bill there no room in the end yeah not even for Jesus no baby Jesus yeah I tell you what they uh uh and to pull that what 40 50 days before the election wow you know folks listening your state legislators voted for this what talking about how to make friends yeah it's not a good thing so you know I part of my job is to go to state legislature and say come on guys put on your big boy pants we got to do the right thing here if you want to do vouchers fine but you gotta you got to give stuff to the public school and if you look at the State Constitution uhhuh it says it mandates that the state legislature fund Closing Thoughts on Education and Community Public Schools not vouchers not charter schools public schools but you're not against vouchers right no I'm not I'm I'm in favor of competition I I I like I'm a business guy I like competition you know if they give that kind of money to the vouchers then you got to give it back you got to give it to the schools you know it's it's it's just not right to say well we don't have any money for the school teachers are there school teachers doing great things absolutely are there some school teachers that may not be doing great things absolutely it's you got you know we have 6,000 teachers in our in our County you know some of them are outstanding some of them are mediocre and some are need need to be replaced you know it's like anything else now when we far from the dirt roads of South Carolina you say okay guys put on your big boy britches we say put on your big boy drawers yeah you know we say put on your big drawers put on your big boy draws and make some decisions bill so Bill what did you find out about all this stuff about um the vouchers and the teachers are probably saying wait a minute you all said it was no more room in there end for the children it's no more room for the end go over there in that Barn go over there in the stable cuz we have no room for you yeah it's it's I think we've heard that story before no room in the end over there in the stable yeah it's stay where you're at the uh so I I think we've got to sit down and what I've got to do is and I just started getting all the information from the public school form to understand vouchers in schools I know that in uh both cases the reporting systems aren't as strict as they are for the public schools so they don't have to do all the reporting and so we're we we have much more constraints on us in the public school the other thing is if somebody goes gets a voucher and says goes to a school and they get kicked out or they leave they come to a public school that that school gets keep the voucher we don't get it no refund no cost allocation no no it's there no Ticky no Washi what does that mean Bill no Ticky no Washi what does that mean that was uh that was a old Beville comedy act they it was stereotyp in Chinese people that wash clothes oh and they would say you know they want to pick up their clothes and they say no Ticky no Washi is that kind of similar to what we heard in debates talk about certain people eating cats and dogs you might be right so stuff never goes away but let's get back to the whole idea of no room in the end for the children for our future for the children bill so we have money for prisons and we have money for vouchers and you're not against vouchers you just are four let me ask a question you have three individuals running for district three right correct what did the other two individuals say about it because obviously they have a platform that can make a public statement about what did what did they say the people who running against you for the seat what did they say the Democratic guy didn't say a thing and uh the Republican guy um is uh he believe it or not I don't think he's in favor of public schools but what I think he didn't he retire from working at Public Schools yeah he did he's get probably getting the retirement benefit and he's on the school board but he's not a he's not a Public School advocate he's he is are you sure I believe we need to do a fact check here Mr Goo because you know yeah CA when we did the fact check on KLA last night she let one or two slip and we didn't want on Trump and we just had to put the meter down because just blowing him out there last night at the school board meeting I was at everybody gets three minutes to make a statement okay and he his statement what didn't say hey these vouchers we needed to get the money for our schools or our teachers he didn't he knew about it he knew about it before he made the statement everybody knew about it in fact one of the school board members the school member in large Alan shash he did a phenomenal speech in fact I I stopped by his office said I'd like a copy of that on it some of the other school board members echoed it and some of them talked about other things but he never took the opportunity to say hey I I think that is wrong if we can't find money for teachers we can find money for vouchers we got to find money for teachers first and get that taken straightened out so what they're basically saying is that the public school system uh the state legisl they don't have confidence in it so they're giving money to the vouchers and hoping that that will work and provide a better education than the public schools so Mr Goo don't you all have a debate or something public forum coming up public forum when's that coming up again September it's coming up next week I think um in uh legal Women Voters League of Women Voters do you think this will be one of the subject matters it look like it would have to be oh yeah it's it's going to be on there see I have all the respect while you look for that I have all the respect in the world world for the League of Women Voters I know some of them personally I've dealt with them in the past and they're hardcore but they're good people and I never feel that they are biased one way or the other I really think that like a lot of organizations they kind of play it straight down the middle they do it's on the 17th of September next Tuesday from 12: to 1:30 we're only going to be on for about 30 minutes asking questions so I know this vouchers is going to probably come up man maybe Charter Schools they make talk about cell phones in schools I don't know about that well if the good-looking black guy is there cheering for you endorsing you you said that might hurt you a little bit well I think showing up and support me at that event will be fine okay that's that's okay event but the black Democrat endorsing you some people be like no you don't want a black good-look slim and trim oh I'm talking about myself a slim and trim black goodlooking Democrat to endorse you no I didn't say that I don't have any issue with you endorsing me in fact I like it in fact I put it on a couple of my uh blackards okay and stuff I love people that you endorse me so I they sent me a note they said we have posted information about The canidate Forum on our Facebook page please share it the co-chair of Voters services and I I sent her thank you I will share it and be your guest at lunch they asked me to come to lunch early wow I said FY I'm going to Cave Ukraine on 929 with my friend Chef Brandon Kowski de feed children injured in the war she said uh she said your trip sounds amazing will you please send me a pronunciation of your last name make sure we introduce you correctly so I haven't done that yet so so goo all I can say is wow tell me I'm going to do everything in my power to be at that event because again my respect appreciation for lead Women Voters when President Trump is running out trying to get endorsement trying to get votes from Democrat black men who are Democrats or endorsements everybody say that's a good thing when he can reach across the aisle and people endorse him why is it a bad why is it good for Trump and me Maga and it's bad for Bill goo to have black Democrats endorse you why why is there double standard in the Republican party I don't know about the Republican Party I'm running unaffiliated so I'll take every endorsement but that makes sense though I'll take every endorsement the district that I'm in 38% are unaffiliated 32% Republican 30% Democrat and unaffiliated is growing wow at the expense of Republican and Statewide the biggest party is unaffiliated Statewide in the goral race right now not jumping on that but that's getting aky and Moy to the point they're saying wait a minute minute you know this thing ain't going right it's going left and now the national presidential race is like wait a minute this thing was one now we in a race again and maybe slightly behind but go for those who want to donate to your campaign
