could not be more timely so Kim I'm just gonna tell you real quickly that I was kind of losing my mind this week um so first oh I'm going to tell my story after yours because I want to hear the end of your story she cut it short because we were going to start the show so and because yours also is today so your daughter if you're a parent or if you have a child in your life did what all children let just tell you they act like we don't have lives we're just there to serve them no regard for your personal time right so I've been in the car since the end of the after party to now in the car that is insane is insane the after party ends up and uh two and a half hours two like I ended about 220 today so call it 2:30 right how pick up one one kid from school get there wait a little bit grab him go to the other school to get the high school girl right Julia you might know her she is not coming out to the car so finally after a few minutes I call and say where where are you yeah and she says oh I'm in broadcast class and I have to edit this commercial I'm love class by the way we like that broadcast journalism I think I've been in that moment where I have things to edit and I just can't do what I need to do I understand this how long do you think it'll take you I said 20 minutes said she so I think I'll wait a half an hour later there's still no Julia so I call back and I say hey are you coming and she says oh I was going to ask if it's okay if I go downtown with so and so and so and so 30 minutes I've been sitting in the car waiting for her as if I don't have a life of my own my daughter so I said I would appreciate it if you would have told me this sooner but yes you can go so I drive away I drive home I pull into the driveway and I get another text there's band practice tonight so she's going to need to come home first I said well I have Nicki Nicki Show and Mark thing and there's no way I can exact she she said well I need my mace that's the little twirly thing she Twirls for band I love that it's called mace which is my I need my mace so can you bring my maces to me downtown and I'll just carry them back to school back into get the Maes back into the car back downtown trying to find out where she is it's been like one thing it's been a lot of waiting so it's not like I was driving around but it's just like this thing where half my life is spent sitting in a car waiting for someone and no one has any regard for the time of other people no and it's that time like okay so the Surgeon General if you didn't hear came out with a warning that parenting can be harmful for parent mental health because of the dangerous levels of stress and literally Kim I'm not kidding this came out the day after I came home I walked in the door my husband's sitting at the table and I'm I'm almost in tears and I I just I I sit down at the table and I'm like why do they make it so difficult I feel like everything is becoming more difficult for children so what happened was my daughter is in tennis and I'm trying it takes a village right I feel like the the village is harder with school so the coach will not let anybody just take my daughter to a tennis game right even though I say my friend I give permission to my friend to take said child to the game no the school needs to clear it cuz it's a school it's a school sponsored event and they're responsible for her right why are they responsible for her why why if I say my child is leaving this school after hours to go somewhere I can't decide that I just don't understand if I'm in a bind and I need to send my because it's hours after school lets out hours can't you can't you put the another name on the list people that are acceptable to pick up your child but what if it's a last minute thing like what if you know this person can't make it so I got to call this person that's what I'm talking about it's like it takes a village and I'm sorry if this other person on my list that my kid feels comfortable with instead of a random other players's car that my daughter may not feel comfortable going with right I don't know this person I don't know this person my daughters new it's just they make it so stressful and then not only that back to school night go Miss paperwork over here you right yes you have to know that the person that signed up to drive all the other players has their insurance on file with the school they have their make and model and permission slip information signed all dealt with with the school right so that's why because they need to make sure that there's insurance that everyone's safe that if there's some problem there's cover coverage but but they're out of school at 1:30 the game not till 4 you know what I'm saying like it doesn't make so anyways that doesn't make sense and then like back to school night happened last week and everything's online and like my phone won't open the app for me to do this approval and so then my kid gets dinged because I didn't sign something because it ser and it's like why can't I get a piece of paper so that I could just sign it what if my printer doesn't work and it's just this added and I know I'm complaining but it's just this added stress of like do I need this right now you know like I don't need it and I'm just up to here and and and now that I'm in education I get it I really do I understand and I know Ren you're right legally the school is responsible but they're not going from school to the game they're actually going home to the game and then I'm like are you are you gonna St stti out the parking lot and see if my kids actually leaving the car of the person they said they're gonna no they're not it's just a an imaginary stressor yeah that I have to go through I don't know I'm just and this is why the Surgeon General actually up the warning and I literally stress is a thing so yeah I'm like I thought it was so funny though when they came out with that warning you know parental stress can cause real problems because I thought I thought that's just the way of life is that not just our normal state of being no I don't want it like I and honestly like taed on to everything else politics is like it's it's like a guilty pleasure right now the way I'm like I'll just you know it's like the bachelor Bachelorette nowadays it's like I'll just you know decompress watching kamla Harris's debate tonight which apparently is happening it's taped you know what I mean like it's you would think that the debate tonight between KLA Harris and Tim Walls is just gonna interview the interview yeah the interview it's just going to be the most terrible thing they put out obviously um Talking Point point to the Republican Party have you seen this if you're on X right now um there are talking points it's 18 minutes it's totally scripted KLA Harris needs Tim Walls this is the um this is the talking point that she needs Tim Walls to sit next to her um and so we're gonna get into that in just which is stupid stupidest thing you've it's it's ridiculous Harris doesn't need to sit next to anybody she's a a competent confident strong person who's able to handle things on her own yeah you're right teacher Lori the clips are already out um there's one with Dana Bash obviously did it apparently it's short it's like 18 minutes and oh my God they're not releasing the transcripts this is the this is the talking points it's 18 minutes long kamla Harris needs Tim Walls and um and and she does a terrible job like and the transcripts aren't out and it's terrible who freaking cares but this is what pissed me off last night I can't stand Megan McCain like sometimes I'm just like I don't I just don't get her I really just don't get her she puts out this tweet last night Kim and this is what she says I don't know if Democrats fully realize how damaging the image of the possible first woman president being incapable of giving an interview alone without the presence of a man to help her is and I don't think that Megan McCain realizes how abs absolutely sexist that tweet is regarding the first possible pres president doing an interview with her vice president when all the men who have given interviews with their vice president have done the exact same freaking thing that's what I was going to ask if the interview was with Trump and Vance no one would have said a word no one would have batted an eyelash no one would haveed no one would have said oh Trump's getting pretty looks like he needs Vance to sit right by him to keep him on track no one would have said those things right they're they're two men they show up everything's fine but because she's a woman all of a sudden she needs daddy to take care of her are you kidding me I mean it's so freaking BS I mean here's here's a picture uh you know exactly it's Hillary Clinton Tim Kane you know what I mean obviously Obama and Biden it's it's just it's absolutely ridiculous now some people are saying it's the first interview mind you after Biden's poor performance at the debate KLA Harris did come out defending uh Biden I mean she did and she was so she has given interviews not since obviously Biden said he was not going to run again but again it's been a month she's had a lot of crap to do I mean people are acting like she should have had every decision made she should have policy Papers written like she's running for president and in 30 days people want her to hit the ground freaking running give me a break I mean I think that the Republicans are obviously shaking in their boots and they're really being unfair and I understand why because they're scared they're absolutely scared that she's running away with it because she is she absolutely is you want to watch any of this yeah let's let's watch the clip generally speaking how should voters look at some of the changes that you've made uh that you've explained some of here uh in your policy is it because you have more experience now and you've learned more about the information is it because you were running for president in a Democratic primary and should they feel comfortable and confident that what you're saying now is going to be your policy moving forward Dana I think the the the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed you mentioned the green New Deal I have always believed and I have worked on it that the climate crisis is real that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time we did that with the inflation reduction we have set goals for the United States of America and by extension the globe around when we should meet certain standards for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as an example that value has not changed my value around what we need to do to secure our border that value has not changed I spent two terms as the Attorney General of California Prosecuting transnational criminal organizations violations of American laws regarding the passage illegal passage of guns drugs and human beings cross our border my values have not changed I mean I feel like she made sense there new policies but that doesn't mean that your policies that your your your focus has changed that your values have changed right exactly and I think that that's that's an important distinction I want to also play you this clip and again you guys know how I feel about Bill Mah he does make a good point here so um it's it's this idea of how you present yourself and and and Dana Bash made a good point there if you heard it when you're campaigning during the primary versus when you're campaigning and you're the actual candidate for your party two totally different things and if you you can't deny that right you can't deny that it's just like when you go after each other and it's Democrat against Democrat of course you're G to go harder you're trying to make yourself the choice for the Democratic party and then when it's Democrat versus Republican you freaking rally behind the person that you were up against that's itics people that's how you do it I mean that's stop that's how you do it uh so here is this is a pretty interesting exchange um let me just in every single case the Trump Administration is more moderate and More in line with what more people want in America and the outcomes are just better no well who is that guy Vladimir Putin okay he's NATO that's really mod project 2025 that's really I mean we can go the truth of the matter in 2019 she listened to the identity lab and that always ends up a disaster and she's evolved to say the least and she'll be asked about it and I think she'll have so she's either a far leftist or a chameleon liar I don't know you know wait a second okay so so he was saying that in that and uh I forget his name the Republican um he's basically saying she's a liar if she evolves if she moves to the center which is not true and that's the that's the argument that bill marah is right about to make body TS to the middle everybody as Mitt Romney said shakes the etcher sketch and by the way it's a little odd isn't it that the Republicans had no former presidents vice presidents there was no Mitt Romney there no Bush no Dick Cheney it's a little like Tom Cruz with his daughter you know I I don't know you anymore I mean understand that refence what I don't know if I know that reference well I mean Tom Cruz never sees his daughter because she's a suppressed person you know whatever she doesn't believe in SC Scientology and I feel like I've never seen a convention where the party just disowned its complete past like that yeah well again doesn't really matter do we put on the best show I I don't know I know we have better policies that have better you have made a clean cut with what republicanism was up until Trump exactly and that's the point you know what I mean there is no Republican party and I don't know if you guys saw it today and this is big news Kim McCallister but kamla Harris has said today that she is going to put Republicans I don't know how many in her cabinet yeah yeah I just saw that she said that is yeah she said she would name a republican to her cabinet and that she's willing to do that I think that's inredible I hope she does I really do I think that she would choose Saye Republicans and I are good Republicans there are good rational common sense you know good people that are Republicans you see them the the Republicans for Harris you see them standing up and saying you know what kininger said at the at the DNC how you can't get behind it anymore he's looking I mean we saw it again this week with Arlington National Cemetery it's a consistent disregard for the nation's military how could you possibly have that person be the commander-in-chief when over and over again they do nothing but disrespect the military so there are Republicans that understand it and get it and I could see her picking one of those people not in a position where they'd have to go against their beliefs like you know have kinzinger or whoever be the Zar of of women's rights but in some other capacity the transportation secretary or something else yeah well I mean in a capacity in which there's there's a place for compromise or a place for discussion I welcome that I wish that we can get back to that and I've said this time and again I wish can go back to debating policy my problem with the Republican party as a whole the the Republican party of trump I don't trust you as a party because you fall in line behind Trump because so many of you have given your soul to Trump that's the problem that's right that's the problem we would I would I would love to debate policy with you I would love to find compromise with you but the problem is the you know I'm telling we're looking at something green and you're telling me it's blue because Trump told you to that's ridiculous I can't trust you how can you debate an issue with someone who doesn't come armed with real information right all they've been getting is spoon feed spoonfed Fox News propaganda yeah so you don't come with someone who's understands that you know the Biden Administration created more jobs was that Republican that was on Fox who was arguing with the I don't know if it was a liberal leaning talk show host or who or or pundit or whatever who came with the facts and he's like no no and she's like I'm sorry you don't like the facts but those are the facts those are the facts how do you how do you you can't possibly debate with anyone like that or have a real conversation right exactly and it's and it's frustrating and then they're like oh you have Trump derangement syndrome and it's it's it's not a derangement syndrome it's it's a sadness when you look at people especially people that you care about and we talked about this last week where you're you're like how do I get through to people that I actually know in my real life and you're just and and you can't even have a conversation it's a disappointment it's a sadness and that's what it is it's not I hate Trump I hate what Trump's done to you who I care about I don't care about him I care what he's done to you and that's what sucks and on that note um you know we all knew that RFK Jr was going to throw his support behind Trump but did you see this headline um and I guess I I didn't realize it and I I did know it and then I just didn't put two and two together that Bradley Whitford the actor has been calling out Cheryl Hines the wife of Robert F Kennedy Jr because she is standing obviously by her husband and hasn't been calling him out and here's my question Kim could you stay married to somebody that was a trump supporter I mean could you just stay or stay silent do you blame Cheryl Hines I mean maybe she is a Trumper but she just doesn't you know you know raise the flag about it whatever um do you blame her for being like you know what my husband's standing behind him whatever you know like or she does support her husband and if he wants to support Donald Trump that's the way it is I mean does she have to be all out there and political I don't think to people that are friends that are in a romantic relationship have to agree on politics does it make life easier sure right you know I my husband and I don't agree on everything and we have some healthy and fun debates about it as well right but he's not a Trumper right I mean we we don't go down that path but I feel like I feel like this that if you are more aligned with a Republican Party right and you're voting for Trump for that reason then we can have discussions even though you don't like Trump he you feel is your only choice I disagree with you I think you should stand up on principle but okay right but if you're one of those Kool-Aid drinking crazy people who you know are interviewed at at Trump rallies and and just have the most ridiculous thing to say and bought every single lie then I think maybe and i' I've said this before on the radio and I got a lot of push back I think there could be some type of mental illness on board right that's what I think I truly think this so when you I look at RFK Jr I just look it he's an opportunist but if you look at all the stories that have come out about him with the whales head and the Bear in the park and the Brain worms and just the weird and the way he reacted to allegations of sexual assault of the babysitter where he's like I haven't always been a church boy like these things there's something wrong with him well and also I mean and I don't know if this story I I we never talked about this story and I don't know how I never talked about it but his wife unlived herself because she found a diary in which he had what 37 Affairs in one year and documented them in a journal before he married actress Cheryl Hines who was on Curb Your enthusiast That's the actress Cheryl Hines that's RFK Jr so I don't understand this man you know what I mean this is this is RFK JR this is Cheryl Hines husband this is I don't understand I don't think he's a I don't think he's a good guy but I also think I think he has something on board just given all the things I've read obious so so if she is in love with him then and he's going through a mental health struggle then maybe she has a little bit more empathy for that and she stays with him because she knows that maybe he's got issues that he's trying to work through I'm trying I'm I know I'm very generous here you're being extremely you're being you're being extremely generous my friend very very but I do think that as a you know as a okay here's another question so Bradley Whitford is friends with Cheryl Hines they're both in the celebrity actor world right MH could you stay friends with somebody who isn't calling out their spouse I mean and and and and I know that this is a little different because they're in Hollywood but I mean using their platform for that like no yeah no you know what comes to mind here here's what comes to mind okay kellyanne kellyanne Conway and her husband right constantly at odds constantly duking it out against each other speak actually saying bad things about each other in the media before they got divorced and it was like you could see that divorce coming a mile away oh yeah so I wouldn't expect I wouldn't expect a friend to speak out I would just feel bad for the friend thinking oh God Nikki's husbands are real woo yeah go what she must be dealing with over there cuz I know she's not like that I give you your space to handle it so I think if you if if you're airing your dirty laundry in public it kind of makes me uncomfortable yeah it would make me extremely uncomfortable and I think that it would just be like not that I would make a big deal about unfriending you just you know I wouldn't be returning phone calls I wouldn't be asking you out to lunch you know what I mean I'd just be like I wouldn't be Bradley Whitford I wouldn't be calling you out in the Press but I definitely wouldn't be I would be like hey let's catch lunch let's catch up uh teacher Lori who knows strong chemistry makes exciting bedfellows I guess I mean you know going back to the conways I mean maybe it was exciting bed fellows you know like that angry type of excitement in the bedroom who knows Heather says people are complicated and relationships are weird as we stay back home hard telling not knowing okay I don't know that that's saying but okay hard telling not knowing um but yeah I'm just saying it would be extremely hard I don't know I have friends that are you know what was interesting though Kim when RFK Jr um dropped out and through his support behind Trump I tried my hardest to listen to this speech you would have thought it was Abraham freaking Lincoln or Martin Luther King Jr given a speech by how much RFK Jr supporters like that was the best speech I'd heard in my life I don't know about you but the minute he invoked John F Kennedy I was like beep like are you freaking kidding me over here are you kidding me I mean the load of BS that was coming out of his mouth the fact that he was trying to draw a line between the Democratic party and Donald Trump caring and calling out the Democratic party saying that they have strayed from the environment as if the Republican Party gives two licks about the environment kidding me I consider him to be insignificant and I know that sounds really [ __ ] but when when you go to KLA Harris and say hey if I throw my support behind you what job you going to give me and then you go to Trump and you say the exact same thing you are selling your support to the highest bidder I know that means to me I completely disrespect you your you whatever respect or or you know interest I had in you which there wasn't any anyway be you become insignificant because you're just out for yourself you're just trying to get a job the reason why I try to listen to the speech though Kim is because I have like the John Rothman in the back of my head and even though I think that it's stupid that he reads certain blogs right or watches certain TV shows that are not news John um the reason why I wanted to listen to the speech is because I was like okay well what are you guys really talking about how can I say how can I say uh I didn't give anybody an actual chance to to make an impression on me when I say to people did you even listen to that speech did you even listen to what KLA Harris or Joe Biden or Barack Obama said you don't even give it a chance to listen to make an impression how can I say that to them if I don't even give it a chance but the minute that he was trying to say that the Republican party that the Democratic party stayed from certain issues as if as if the Republican Party had I was like the worms are eating your brain even harder like give me because we already know who he is as Eric says here I don't care about anything RFK J says he's an antivaxer and a men to Public Health and Welfare yes I know I know relevant he checked out a while back so you know I agree I tried I'm just I get I don't know maybe I want a gold star for trying I didn't get very far I'm just saying get very far from what I understand of the reporting on said event it was just a bunch of nonsensical gibberish that was uttered it very much was um I just want okay so um let me just say one more thing about politics before we move on before we move on to other topics okay okay and it's something that came out today I think there's going to be a lot of catchup being thrown at the walls this was on Fox News today and if and KLA Harris and Tim Walls had a rally in Georgia today I apparently it was raining and people are lining up but this is on Fox news but look at this heading now out east to North Carolina former president Trump is also ahead there by one point we'll say that he wins the state of North Carolina we are going to give the State of Arizona to the vice president and then the recent polling showed President Biden Five Points behind in North Carolina and it's very very tight right now so go back to the map it goes brings us to 264 to 258 again 270 is what you need to win and guess what remains Georgia Georgia remains it was the closest contest in 2020 decided by less than a quarter of a percentage point in favor of President Biden our recent polling showed the widest Gap six points for former president Trump over President Biden but now that has closed Harris has a two-point lead in our latest poll it's expected to be a close race that's obviously within the margin of error but both candidates are spending a lot of time in Georgia and if that lead holds she wins Georgia she wins the presidency of the United States that was on Fox News so I'm not saying I know it's early if you hadn't shown that to me I never would have seen it because I don't watch that channel no I just saw it on X I don't you think that that my television gets Fox News no no no no no no I don't even know what channel it is I just get it on my I get it on X if there honestly the only reason I get any of these clips is because I get it on X and the only reason I do is I torture myself but I'm just saying that was one of my favorite clips that I found today which was Fox News uh or phone news as I like to call it uh calling it for for KLA Harris which you know what I'm really really happy uh to have that news and I hope it continues we will see the reaction to her CNN interview which apparently is supposed to start because it's what it was nine I think it's nine o'clock Eastern so it's gonna start in about 25 minutes or so yeah so we'll see I don't think she's gonna blow it right I mean I don't I don't think she can lose the momentum no I really and I don't want to like call it for her but I really don't see how she could knock onw lose it at this point right like all knocking fingers crossed Jump Around stand up hop on one foot whatever we have to do to save America I'm not trying to jinx it or anything I mean obviously anything can happen and you just always have to say that but I think the problem is the reason why I feel secure is because Donald Trump doesn't seem to be like changing course you know what I mean he's he's doubling down on like the losing path like he doesn't seem to want to change course at all like at all I was I was reading or watching something where it said I know great sourcing here but I the person was saying that they had asked him it was a campaign adviser a former campaign adviser who's still in in touch with Trump right they they were saying I told him listen the personal insults and attacks they're not going over well with the American people so ease up on that hit harder on immigration hit harder on the economy this is what you've got to do right and apparently Trump said what do you mean ease up on the personal attacks that is my strategy right that's how I've won before and that's how I'll probably win again right and so that's his deal so I don't see him backing up off that interestingly I was I was watching a clip of Fox News as well on a a a show on YouTube and they had a different polling system but it was in the last couple of days right and they had all the swing states listed and North Carolina is the only one where Trump was up by one and all like there's six other states where it's KLA Harris ahead by two three points in these swing States and it's really funny because the the Fox News anchor who was handling the map they started with Trump being a head by one which is obviously like the bottom of the the lead you you buried the lead the lead is KLA Harris has got six he's got one but how they flipflop it and try to ease in with the good news to people who are listening yeah I mean it's just gonna be I just really I just don't think that it's going to be I just don't see how she can lose it I really just I don't so again knocking knock knock knock knock knock again anything can happen but um I wish her the best of luck obviously I'm voting for and again uh the momentum's there so uh best of luck and you know she's gonna have to do some more rallies she's gonna have to do more interviews and the best of luck for her um and again I think that the only way that there's drama and again Trump's also saying like the polls are rigged everything's rigged uh in Texas I don't know if you guys saw this headline as well I'm just couple more headlines regarding Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is getting sued because apparently he's raiding Latino Democrats homes saying that they're um they're getting people registered to vote that aren't American citizens and they're looking for evidence of that but then they're being sued because they're saying that you don't have evidence to raid the homes so it's a total s show in Texas um but then in Pennsylvania they're saying Pennsylvania County Pennsylvania county broke the law by refusing to tell voters if it rejected their ballot so they're just like rejecting ballots and not even telling voters so that they can contest it so it's just like there's so much nefarious things going on that you have to keep an eye on and that is why I want it to be a complete freaking blowout I don't even want there to be I want it to be so far outside the margin of error that there's no question you know what I mean I don't want them to be like you need to find me like but the reason you're seeing all this tampering right you know the the hitting hard with going into people's houses saying you're breaking the law or you know messing with things in in Pennsylvania messing with things in Texas in Georgia with the certification law the reason they're doing all this is because they think it's going to be so close that that's the way they're going to win so all of this tinkering all this gamesmanship they're not going to win by really getting the vote they're going to get to you know try to win by messing with it to slide it into their favor that's not really a win is that a win no well because the Republican party doesn't win the popular vote they don't win the popular vote you know what I mean so whatever so again go kamla go Tim Walls kick some butt let's do this um all right let's switch gears let's talk about some other things um here's a question question for you my friend do you have to tell the press the truth if you are a celebrity do you owe the press the truth when asked a direct question or is it okay if I just say nothing and don't come out with the truth so there or have I been specifically asked and I lie or I'm not asked and I just say nothing if you are let's say not a politician okay so we're taking politics out of it let's say you're a singer let's say you're Billy ish or Charlie XCX or let's say I'm Taylor Swift Taylor well let's take I feel like Taylor Swift's always gonna s the truth but okay let's say you're Taylor Swift right and you're asked a question yeah and you just make up an answer is that okay no why because fans I think I mean it depends on who you are like if you're Kanye everyone knows not to believe anything that comes out of your face right right but if you're someone on the up and up that's respected then I think you owe it to yourself and to the people that support you to continue being someone who's a standup person so absolutely you know if you say something wrong admit it if you you know if you are asked a question answer it in the in the best way you can not don't lie about it no so I me I think I think it's okay to say I think it's okay to to decline to answer if someone asked you a question like Taylor Swifts been asked ridiculous questions before and she said would you ask a man that same question or you know I don't really feel like addressing my boyfriend's right now or whatever right that's okay sorry go ahead so Charlie XX XCX who does the whole brat thing remember we were talking about being brat K is brat blah blah blah she was quoted as saying lying is so fun who made this rule that you have to be truthful and honest in the press as an artist The Press is just a tool wow I mean in a way does an artist and again I'm not talking about politicians where what you say has consequence right uh I'm a singer you ask me you know what kind of questions does a singer have to provide that is consequential that matters right like does an artist really have to be truthful to the Press what does it owe you does Celebrity mean I have to answer any of your questions honestly so if she thinks the Press is a tool then I would argue this the Press is a tool for you to have a relationship with your fans okay it's the way they get to know you you have your music right you have your concerts but they don't know you as a person or what's behind the music or the the you know the the story behind the how you came up with a song Until you sit down with someone and spill the tea so all of these things may be used as a you know you may be using these interviews as a tool for people to get to know the real you and if you lie about things and if you don't take the tool seriously or respect the tool the tool is not going to want to play with you anymore because you're a constant liar and bye-bye you know I I guess in a way I I agree in a sense but let's take it away from the talking aspect of of telling the truth and what about you know ca for instance you know the artist CIA she always wears this wig that covers her face right and so is there a difference between always wearing a costume and always maybe speaking in a voice I mean that's not your personality that's not who you truly are but this is the way I present myself to you isn't that a form of deception I'm not going to give you myself fully right no that's your that's your stick I think that's okay I think it depends on what relationship you want to have with people if you're someone like a Beyonce or a tayor swift you you know you're going to be you span Generations at this point mom's love you grandmas love you kids love you whatever so in this instance I think it shows that the more of yourself you give in a real genuine way yeah the more people will will like you and want to support what you're doing whereas you have a what whatever the ladies Suza or whatever that you're talking about I mean can you really imagine her being around for Generations no I mean who knows who knows you never know you never know you never know you never know okay well the 10 years people will 10 years people will be saying remember that lady who had the hair covering half her face what was her name I'm so glad that you said that because that bring the reason why I brought this up is because of what people say and how long it lingers this brings me into this other topic there is this girl Alexis Earl okay so she made this website called Ask FM I don't know if you've ever heard about it h well she didn't make this web she made a post on this website Ask FM okay so apparently she has made an apology for racist social media post okay apparently she had used the nword She's a Beauty and lifestyle influencer and she used the n-word on a social media post okay is she of African-American descent no of course she is not of africanamerican she is a blond hair blue-eyed social media influencer answer okay girl that word does not belong to her okay she's apologizing and apologizing I'm so sorry I used the nword she used it when she was 13 years old oh do you think that someone needs to apologize for a social media post made when they were 13 years old how old is she now she is 2 so it was a decade ago no no no that's done she already apologized she's it was a child then you you do a lot of growing if she's already apologized we can assume and there have been no more incidents in this manner then we can assume she learned her lesson she was educated and we move on that's what it's all about we educate people we don't throw them away we teach them it's a teaching moment right yeah she puts out this long post and like I'm reading it and then all of a sudden she says she's like I'm taking a cal accountability and I want to make it clear that I was 13 and I'm like yeah are we seriously condemning children for something they did when they were 13 years old now I will say this what do you think the age is where adults need to start apologizing for things in their past like at what age you're like you're going to have to start apologizing for that have you never addressed it if you've already addressed it it's done don't look back no I mean like okay so do I if I'm let's say I'm 40 years old okay how far back do I have to look where I'm like okay I have to I have to apologize for that well does someone come up to you and say Nikki I saw a post you made when you were 13 and you use this horrible word what do you have to say you know then you could say gosh it was a learning moment for me and you know I realize that it's not my word and I realize that I have no business saying that and that I don't want to hurt people and that's that it was a long time ago and we've moved we've moved past it I agree with you but I at the same time I think in my mind I'd be saying are you really questioning yeah 40s something year old me about something I did when I was 13 the answer is in the question I was 13 like that's what I'm talking that's why I'm kind of flabbergasted at people like Are you seriously coming up to me I was 13 that's I mean I even at 13 I would have never used that no me neither but it's very silly of things it shows you though that what we put online what we put on the internet thank you it's forever forever forever and that's the other thing I think that this generation is just so I hope even though she's 23 she should have known better 10 years ago I just don't even understand why I don't I don't understand I just don't get kids like I know maybe it's the shock Factor but I don't even understand kids that say it with the a at the end they do I don't even say it with the a at the end one of the moms at my daughter's high school they had the you to go pick up your student ID card before school started and there were PE kids in the line calling each other that with an A on the end that's too close for comfort in my book you don't say that okay so for those that are just joining I work at a school now with middle schoolers that's I've been there a couple weeks how many many times a day do I have to say language to kids they don't say the nword but oh and then the funniest thing happened today so I was educated I actually my daughter was laughing at me so the dean she's like a girl had to come into my bathroom to change and she's like will you hold on to her sweatshirt it says cookies it says what cookies on the sweatshirt I don't know what that means thank you okay I had to be educated about this as too uh cookies apparently is a marijuana brand I had no idea I thought I was hip to the thing I wouldn't have known that either so I I texted my daughter and I was like I had to take somebody's sweatshirt today that said cookies on it and then I had to be educated about why I had to take it and my daughter totally laughed at me oh my God how embarrassing that your daughter knows and not you well because obvious well I guess now you have to do you have to do some research now I Googled and it's all just we things I mean sometimes it has the weed like obviously like the leaf on it but this just said cookies on it but the you know all the people that have been at schools for a while so if your kid has something that says cookies on it that means weed on it so yeah I'm I'm gonna learn all the tricks and all that kind of stuff so yeah well in your defense I just Googled cookies hoping that I would see what you saw and all I got was C cookies so I'm just saying up cookies apparel cookies apparel and then you'll see it go go go cookies apparel and now you'll see it and it's all about be cookie mon yes there it is baby there it is now you're hip now Eric's like now I'm hungry and exactly cookies and hungry is gonna go hand in hand so noted tell telling you so now I'm going to be able to share with you guys all the Middle School craft I'm learning because Julia would have been able to walk right out in a sweatshirt like that and I wouldn't have batted an eyelash oh do you like cookies you want to take cookies to school yeah no my friends no no no no no so yeah I've learned all kinds of things but yeah the the kids I am telling you it is so Heather I thought it was a euphemism for the BJJ no no no no it is not it is not I mean it used to be an our day Heather though it used to be I would have thought that have juicy written on the butt you know cookies I would have thought the same thing yeah I would have thought that too I mean back in our day we would just have the pot leaf on it you know what I mean like we didn't have you know euphemisms for weed we would have just had the pot leaf on there but these kids have to have their sneaky stuff all over the place so they can wear it in middle school but the phone things the kids without the phones that's all type of stuff so yeah Nikki slain I I'm gonna I'll hook you guys up I am learning all kind I'm having the the best I have my regulars I have my regulars I have about I'll say 10 kids that I see almost on the daily I'm I'm learning their name for illness or discipline no just want to hang out they come in okay and so today today was my day where I I I literally gave them the talk I'm like they kept coming in and I'm like look it's week two if I keep putting you in my log the parents are going to come and I was like I don't want to talk to the parents so eat drink get out I'm like you got to go to class I was and they're like I know I was like so let's not do this every day I was like I don't want to see and like there's this one girl she's like I'm like isn't it boring to just look at me all day she's like I'd rather be in here and I'm like well I'll tell you middle school can be brutal maybe they feel more safe eating lunch in your office then they they're not eating lunch they're sitting in it's they're supposed to be in class they're not eating lunch they just want to stare at my my wall I'm like sit in the wall in your class like I'd rather stare at your wall I'm like stare at the wall in your class I was like because my my wall is gonna get you in trouble with your parents stare at the wall in your class so yeah it's uh I'm trying to be empathetic I'm like I get it but again you gotta go you gotta go you gotta go you gotta go so I'm trying my best I really really really am but uh Lori says don't feel bad I got a kid's mom to make her throw out her backpack because I didn't know AirHeads was a candy and thought she was calling herself dumb had to have it translated for the mom and mom made her I love AirHeads it's not the best candy but I don't know why I like it I actually had one just the other day my none of my kids like AirHeads and they get them sometimes like as treats and I like them in teacher Lor's defense I like that she was trying to build the girl up and give her some self-esteem so that was a good part dare you exactly how dare you can I slide back into ics for a hot second oh please because I'm drinking have you noticed take a sip of your nipple drink pink Nipple drink have you notice that they keep trying to find something to attack KLA Harris with and nothing works course yes of course here's the latest okay give it to me a conservative news media website is being completely mocked on social media because they tried to create a controversy about Harris working at McDonald's and leaving it off of her college resume who cares right you can't include everything that's the best you can do how far back am I supposed to go can we get some real dirt she left McDonald's off her resume you know a resume is supposed to weave one page you got to leave some stuff off job what was your first job again chosen what looks the best I feel like I should know what was your first job what was your first job again worked at this little company in Santa Cruz selling T-shirts out at the Yacht Harbor and yeah my dad tried to tell me that my first job he like we had dinner for his birthday the other day he's like your first job was at Togos and I was like no my friend no my first job was at The Original Pancake House on Saratoga I was a Hostess that's right it was Original Pancake House so I am not including the Original Pancake House on Saratoga on my resume I did work at a place for one day does that have to count as my first job I only worked there one day and I decided this is not for me what it was Burger King and they made you wear a polyester outfit and I went there course they did like I didn't even think I lasted the whole day I'm like I can't this isn't my job I can't no I had a friend she went to Red Lobster for one day they handed her a hairnet and she walked right out I love you Benny she still my B they hand her a hair she came right back and I was like what happened she's like they handed me a hair and I'm not working any place where I have to wear a hair on my no selling T-shirts on the beach sounded like a much better game oh hell yeah anywhere on the beach I would that's some place well I didn't live close enough you lived in Santa Cruz I mean oh you missed the Original Pancake House had that that that pancake The Dutch Pancake I think it was called that like was inflated it was really really cool I loved the the silver dollar pancakes I would eat those it was a really great restaurant I love I was a Hostess though and then I became a buser but I will tell you the longest uh gig I had besides radio that I worked the longest in restaurants was at Tony Romas also on Saratoga um off 280 I loved it I worked there for four years that was the best job ever I was just talking about it best job ever after every shift they gave you a free meal and a free drink I worked there for four years in my 20s I love with cash I was a waitress cash dinner and a drink there is no better job than that I am telling you they had the best pork chops bone and pork chops there I mean I love the ribs I was like selling it to my my niece the other day she's like she's like you love you love the food I'm like that's why I work there I never worked at a place or restaurant that I didn't like the food why would I do that I'm like they give you free food I wor to toos because I like the salami sandwiches and I wor to toos because I love the ribs I mean come on now like it'd be stupid the Dutch baby that's what it is Janet the Dutch baby yeah it was like this puffy thing you know I never ate that pancake though it was way too much but yeah it was really really good this group is it's the beacon this conservative group oh that's what it is is the Free Beacon or just the beacon I think it's the beacon I don't think it's the Free Beacon I think it's just the beacon so the beacon wants to Sure assure that KLA Harris is on the up and up about did she work at McDonald's and why did she leave it off of her res cuz she didn't mention it until a labor rally in 2019 and it wasn't mentioned in her earlier Memoir so they decided they were going to dig into her McDonald's CD past was she a fry girl did she flipped the burgers what did she do she said yes that she handled registered duties and man manned the fry and ice cream machines in at a McDonald's and Alam however the beacon says that she was applying for a law clerk position in the Alama County District Attorney's Office okay and they asked for every her to list every position she'd had in the last 10 years and she did not list McDonald's on that list so why why didn't she list McDonald's they have been unable to verify her employment at McDonald's McDonald's has no comment snopes is unable to verify her work history at McDonald this is this the inquiring minds want to know com it's McDonald's gate did she really work the fry machine like that's what we've come down to that's what we care about you know what that is that's a great presidential candidate if that's the most dirt you can dig up exactly did Donald Trump really have bone spurs does anyone want to pull off the sock and dig around that toe to find the scar I mean let's who wants to have that job you know what I mean like go kick rocks all right who gives a crap I don't care it doesn't really I mean again they are grasping grasping for something just let it play out you've got an ass hat for a republican candidate because you couldn't find anybody else you guys should have found someone qualified then we could have had a real race you know what I mean like come on they're exactly it's it's they're so desperate to find something wrong with her no uh and the truth of the matter is they realize and and again Donald Trump is just not shifting his his his tactics and it's late like and he can't because he just can't help but being himself he can't yeah he and where's Melania like if there's a question to be asked that guy where's the love of your life she if there's anything that's gonna tank his candidacy anyway it is the fact that she under no uncertain terms she is not going back to the White House she is not you think if God forbid and garlic and crosses and like the voodoo dance if he wins she won't you think she won't she's just GNA be like I'm sorry I'm out no she will not go she find me at Maro she yeah she will stay she will like that that is she's gonna make up some Grand thing this is the second White House she hates him with every ounce of her being he has humiliated her n and internationally she can't stand him he he has humiliated her she hated the first time around she does not want to do it again she's like why the did you say you were running again I thought we were done with this crap what the hell did you sign up for this again do you really think that he would care if she checked out like if she was like I don't want to be married to you anymore he'd be like okay byebye I think I don't think he would and shed a tear you there would be no emotional response there would be like well I guess thus comes to the end another marital story and that would be it he does he care now I mean do you see him caring he he she is not there she is literally she was at the r she did didn't she show up to the RNC for like a night a night okay I think so did she yeah I think she did I didn't really watch the RNC it was the most boring thing ever so it was boring I'm still thinking about the DNC roll might yeah I think she showed up for that like one Family Day right like where everyone had to show up um and she didn't speak they just showed her walking across the stage she hugged him when he had his ear on and she smiled yeah and that was it there was no speaking it's not like Michelle Obama who walks up and she's like what's up America now I haven't heard Tim Wall's wife speak but she's new to politics and and I she's always there maybe she'll get into a little bit more she's giv interviews and stuff like that but when you talk about the presidential level Doug mhof spoke at the DNC yeah he did he was a little cheesy whatever even he was cheesy but it was cute his kids made a video the whole family's involved that's because we're cute and we're not we're not weird so Melania is like byebye yeah exactly Ricky you're right it's all in the prenup he's like you can't embarrass me if I ask you to do something you have to do it and she's probably like I'm not going above and beyond though like that you know one appearance I am not going back to the White House though I did it once I am not doing it again and she's probably like gonna if you want me back in the White House I bet the price is like so high and he does not have the money like so she's like you can't afford me she probably like you can't afford me so that's it I think it's she's also we'll give her a break because maybe I'm feeling awful generous tonight her son just left for college right her mom just died in the winter so she's probably grieving and she's like empty nesting now and so maybe all she has left is she looks turns around the corner and there's Donald Trump sitting there you're like that's all I have left oh God I'll just be shopping and down at the pool at maral Lago that's all like can I hang out with Obama please oh like she did a video at the DNC yeah that was so funny did you see like she was like super imposed in that like one one video that was really funny uh she's not going that's pretty good you
