A&G On Demand Thursday June 18 Hour 2

come out on young undocumented immigrants. I'm seeing breaking news banners around on my phone and stuff like that. I haven't had a chance to look at what that is. Yeah, I'm trying to go to the places that actually know what they're taught thinking about it, because virtually everything you hear for the next forty minutes or so on mainstream media will be incorrect or badly interpreted. We will have to dip back into the Joe Biden came out of his spiky hole yesterday and did a little talking and

we'll see how that went. Thank you, Oh boy, I'm telling you that has an emotional effect on me. Hearing that you're hearing a man who is near the end. Thank you, thank you. He can barely get his breath out. Check him for the COVID. Oh, that reminds me. We got a note from a bloke in Phoenix. Where is it there? It is, I'll just keep him anonymous. You had to do some flying and uh. And he flew back and forth um from Phoenix to Salt Lake City, and not long after he starts feeling sicker than he's

ever felt. And while his email is ridiculously long al cheese three full pages, he describes the drama of trying to get a COVID test and he's he's trying to deal with his county, he's trying to deal with the CVS that is allegedly allegedly doing tests, and his efforts to to just line up a test going for hours, days and he's getting the run around. Finally shows up at the CVS. It's empty, there's nobody there, but they say you have to have an appointment. It's like, well,

can you just do me now you're didn't. Now you've gotta make an appointment. So he tries to make an appointment and they say and and then he gets kicked out of the system and he goes back and they say, yeah, the system is not working, and it was just it was like your your worst government healthcare nightmare. You can't go to the doctor. I thought they were. I thought if you had symptoms, they would like run you to the tests. I don't think that's enough to depend a

pretty solid email. I think he would be able to exploit the uh, you know the opportunities that are out there. Um, but it sounds like a nightmare to me. Other places

you just drive up, I guess. Um. There was an attempt in the city of Portland to get a chairs going apparently late last night and early this morning, and it was broken up quickly by authorities, even in Portland because I think they realized if you if they if they get a toe hold, then it's just it's a nightmare and we don't want to deal with that, even if we agree with some of their stuff, that'd be my guess. Uh, you just you just don't want what

Seattle is dealing with. And so it was broken up very quickly into Portland doesn't at least as of now, has no chairs. Wow, but they still have a chairs Where Chaz exists in Seattle, it is Chaz, it's somewhat surprising that that Portland would move so swiftly. Could it be that they witnessed Freeattle's descent into psychosis? And even the way lefties who were in Portland said, that's a bridge too far. We don't have autonomous zones in Portland.

We have ten cities and crazy people in bums shooting up on corners, stopping traffic regularly, and we let them get away with it, right right, But that that would be too much apparently, well, okay, that's fine. I mean, I prefer they are even less crazy than they are because I love Portland. But um, anyway, that's an interesting development.

So according to our friends at Scotus blog, uh docca oh, the majority said The majority of the Supreme Court said the decision to determine to terminate DOCCA was arbitrary and capricious because the Acting Secretary's decision to terminate the program discussed the legality of the benefits associated with DOCCA, but didn't discuss forbearance the decision to defer removal or whether

there was legitimate reliance on the DOCCA memory blah blah blah. Legally, so this DOCCA stands for now and what is its current situation. It's uh, you don't get deported if you were brought to the country as a kid, Okay, And that will law. And the acting Secretary of Homeland Security, I think, had called for the end of DOCCA and the soup said no, and that will continue to be the law of the day. Yeah for now. Um. Clarence Thomas descended he's unhappy under the auspices of today's decision.

Administrations can bind their successors by unlawfully adopting significant legal changes through executive branch agency memoranda. Oh listen to him. Bring it. This is a little more pithy. Today's decision must be recognized for what it is, an effort to avoid a politically controversial but legally correct decision. That's old, Clarence Thomas. Interesting the number out today, This happens every Thursday.

One point five million workers claimed jobless benefits last week, marking eleventh straight week of declines, which is a positive spin and and it is true, but it's still an extraordinary number. Um. Yeah, that's new, claims the feel or at least you know in my part of the world. And from what I read, is that okay, we're opening back up. The economy is going again. Um, you know, we're we're figuring out the social distancing and masks and the rest of it. We're trying to do it smart.

But we're absolutely now moving forward. The idea that one point five million new people filed that's rough man, that's businesses that just ran out of gas. How probably, the Fed Reserve chairman Jerome Powell said today he's already said that the worst of the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus could nearly be over as businesses are reopening across the country. We may be reaching a bottom on that that now. So we're at the bottom right now. I

hope he's right along the bottom lasts. I don't know, Yeah, yeah, that's that's the question. The V shape recovery versus the U shaped jack or the feared hockey stick, or it just goes straight for a long time at a low level. We don't know. We'll have to find out. Can can I hear our Joe Biden clip again? Wake Up? Obviously hands that wake up needs to be a regular part of the intro to the show. I used to get in there. Wake Up, wake Up, wake Up is that.

I'm sorry. I'm trying to understand. The scenario was that one man who didn't quite succumb to carbon monoxide poisoning urging another man who has to wake up? Is that the first guy near death apparently wake up. That's a gentleman who has found asleep in his car in the garage, right exactly. Yeah, he hed falling asleep after starting his car, and he's at the risk of death. And I'm telling you, I'm having a gut caveman reaction to that. I hear a man near death, I'm serious, and what I want

to make sure I got his final wishes. What I'd really like to know is was there a decision made like you talked about tow like really low key at things are frantic Pole Show people are being exhausted by the new cycle. I am. I just talking about it with my wife last night. Yes, I said, I just can't handle this anymore. The new cycle is killing me.

She said, I don't even look anymore. I know. It's just your your brain reaches a point where you just can't take any more stimulus, and it's it's a protective mechanism um to to ignore it and shut it down if it's not like a bear trying to eat one of my children. Right now, I have to block it out. I want to can you do of a sabbatical in the the entertainment business where you just go away for six months? How about folks, listen, we'll be back in

late October. We're just gonna take a couple of months off. But so so we don't go psychotic. But my question is, did they coach Biden on that and say extra low key yes, or did he just come out and that's just what he sounded like yesterday. Well they give him a pep talk and say high energy, and he came

out like this, thank you. I tell you what. It is clear his strategy is to be old, calming, Joe, old bipartisan, middle of the road Gio all this craziness Donald Trump place, come on, everybody, return to normal times. Remember the sixties. Those were a good time, right? Maybe not? Maybe that's a bad example. It was the sixties when I got elected to the Senate for the first time. Because I'm a hundred anyway, it's it's clearly a strategy.

But I don't know whether he just went a little too far there, or if he's actually got to one foot in the grave. He sounds like he's dying, you know, a tangent um. I've heard a couple of people point this out recently, and it's absolutely true, and I think it's worth keeping in mind when we have all these discussions when people refer to the sixties, what they really mean is like sixties seven through seventy three. That's people mean when they refer to the sixties. I think you're right.

The bulk of the sixties, sixty through sixty seven, we're quite placid um and like old tiny America here summer a of nineteen sixty seven thing was mostly amusing. It's really like sixties seven through the early seventies is what people mean by the turbulent, chaotic hippie music, drugs, craziness,

right bombing sixties. Yeah, yep, agreed um. But I thought another thing on the interview with Robert Gates yesterday, former SEC deaf, former CIA chief worked under geez what seven different presidents or something like that, old guy being around a long time, and asked, is this as crazy as has ever been? And he said, yeah, absolutely, So it's not just you know, in the imagination of the young, No wonder I'm so exhausted. Yeah, it's as crazy as it's been in a very very long time. Um. I

found this kind of calming. A Fortune survey of CEOs and some of their attitudes right now about changing their companies for racial stuff or the economy in different things I found quite interesting. Among other things we could get to, we also had a number of people weighing in about their wives or husbands in the way they react when they're doing the uh, the non driving portion of going somewhere, the backseat driver. Oh no, myrtle strife. I hate to

hear that. Our text line is four one to nine five k f TC art Strong and the Armstrong and Getty Show. I suppose at some point out to mention the Bolton book, that is, is it's Outer or not Outer? Well, it's not out officially, but all sorts of copies have been. It doesn't matter. Nobody reads these books. People dig through to get the juicy chunks the back of their narrative, and everybody talks about them like crazy for two days, for for a day and a half, and then nobody

reads a minute. It goes away. That's what happens book after book after book, yeah, so yeah, we'll talk about that maybe next segment. Okay, there's some interesting stuff in there. And and the fact, well what's most notable to me is that everybody on all sides is kicking John Bolton for being a weasel. Um. But anyway, more of that to come quick aside, The left is so good at at imposing um, how we talk about things. Uh, they're way better than the right. And it's bothered me for

a long time. For instance, I'm in the the lunch room getting some caffeine juice and Fox News is reporting on the docket decision that just came down, and they refer to the docket recipients as dreamers, dreamers get to stay or whatever. That That is a term, that's a pr spin term invented by the left to make all of this could be against a dreamer of this brilliant. By the way, we suggested calling doctor recipients precious fairy

dust angels. I mean, that's only slightly more ridiculous than dreamers. Fox News has adopted that in that verbiage, that nomenclature. That is a win if you're that belief. Yep, Michael mentioned his fiancee, uh, making noises while he was driving, and he was afraid something horrible had happened. We got this text my wife taught me. Gasping and grasping the dash with both hands without explanation, unnerves every driver, including this great one. So she's a gasp and grasp the

dash with both hands. My wife does that fairly regularly. My wife has done that too. I have urged her repeatedly. Sweetheart, if we are in danger, the last thing in the world you want to do is lean forward, all right, let your let your belt keep you in place. Oh and not danger, by the way. Uh oh, my gosh. And then you look around everything like that, and somebody spilled an ice cream car ice cream cone. I've had that experience anytime we're about to be hit by a track.

Oh no, somebody spilled something in the backseat. Yeah, we need we need different sound effects for these things. Exactly internal issue, not external threat. Um Fortune Survey of eos planned policy changes in response to the current calls for racial justice. This is a survey of CEOs around the country on a number of topics, but six policy changes.

Due to the social unrest. There's hardly a website. I've been to whether it's genes or music or whatever, where they don't have some sort of hashtag we're with the protests or lots of we support Black Lives Matter, which shocks me because if you go to Black Lives Matter website, there's all kinds of stuff on there that the majority of the country absolutely does not support UM. So it's interesting to me that mainstream outlets are so free with their support of of that. Well, I think just to

stay out of trouble. Every stovetop stuffing and running shoe and gene and guitar string is just making it clear we're down with it. Are there are people that actually look for that and won't do business with a corporation that hasn't posted something like because I don't even think of it. If I need to buy something, that's all that's privilege. Maybe it is the numbers in white gene, is that any wears them tight. That percentage goes up

as the age goes down. The younger the consumer, the more likely they already care about they're looking on the website to see if they've made a stand. They have really internalized the voting with your dollar mantra of a lot of things that's why you see the targeting of advertisers. They're they're aware of the financial power of collective. But that's interesting. That's a change, you know, and maybe I have Is it for the better? Where I I never have an I doubt that I'm going to change At

this point in my life. I don't think about the politics of the company's I do business with. I just it never crosses my mind. But the next generation it might be very important to them. Uh of ceo say revenues have already recovered or never dropped. Well, this is Fortune magazine, so they're trying to have a positive spin, right, Um, thirty percent of ceo say revenues have recovered were never dropped. Well, that's only that leaves out an awful lot of companies

said they didn't drop them, have not recovered it. Some say won't recover in the foreseeable future only four per cent, but almost half expect the recovery to recur between January twenty one in June, so they put the bad news at the bottom. But almost half of the cd CEOs think the recovery won't occur for like a year and a half. Not good, No, No, I thought this was interesting seventies seven percent of ceo say their company's digital

transformation was significantly accelerated during the economic crisis. That rings so true. Sure, so you were headed toward this with computers and skyping and all this sort of stuff, and then all of a sudden, the highest priority get this going right now. Well and listen, there's there's a lot of inertia, or call it momentum if you want, in businessmum momentum. That's right, the president, I'm playing in a

golf tournament this weekend. That's our team slogan. Momentum. But you gotta shout it or write it in all caps like the president is. But there's a certain amount of momentum in business. Things exist just because they have existed. They're going to do tomorrow what they did yesterday just because they did it yesterday. And with lots of people either furloughed or or at home, is a little less significant.

But a lot of businesses are finding out. You know, it was a little better with the furloughed people here, but not that much better. I think we just won't bring them back. You're gonna see sustained unemployment for that reason for a long time, and you could argue that it's making businesses lean or mean or more effective in some cases. Um, but yeah, I think that's really going to delay the bounce back because they had to find out just how important all of us were and some

of us not so much. I'm talking about us. You guys need a cool off, because this is not the time. We can't handle a world war right now. We're already dealing with so many things. Coronavirus, economies are tanking, global protests are happening, and at any minute more Hollywood actors could release one of those black and white videos. Nah. Um, yeah, that's right, I've got one of those. That's just terrible. We need to play later, one of those I'm a celebrity,

you should take me seriously videos. Apparently word has not penetrated their thick, thick film of self importance that nobody wants that China versus India, it seems calmish for right now. I hope the third and fourth biggest military in the world squaring off killing each other over the weekend. Well, this common time is when they put more nails in the bats. Yeah, apparently heard up for the next battle.

Well yeah, I heard it. Described by a pretty sober commentator as a gang war, that they're just they they patrol, they see each other occasionally, they you know, maybe shout stuff at each other, and they hate each other just because they're on the other side. And these guys just they interrupted into fists and sticks and whatever, and they beat the hell out of each other. And I was listening to in the Chinese side one. I don't know if the Indians were out numbered or just aren't good

enough fight or what. I hadn't meant to talk about this, but I was listening to a podcast yesterday with one of what I'm told the best Chinese experts in in America aren't think tanks constantly in communication with with the Chinese. Uh, you know, military, etcetera, etcetera, and uh. And this woman said, they are going to move on Taiwan. It's just a matter of when she is gonna move on Taiwan. And she said she's talked to people in the Chinese military

who have said, what's America gonna do? They can't stop us at this point. Their belief is we don't have the will or the ability to stop them from do doing that. They don't think we've got the military might to stop them from doing something like that, honestly on both counts. And she said, whether they're right or wrong, it's a big dilemma because they could be wrong, but that means they're still going to do it and uh right, and it'd be a heck of a thing to find out,

you know, who's right. One of our emailers referred to a president she is Winnie the Poo's stunt double stunt double uh, which I thought was very funny. Um. Yeah, the idea, well, in terms of could we stop them, I say no, because, with all due respect to the might of the American Navy, it's like, um, if if I don't know, uh, Staten Island were a rebel territory of the United States, I mean we could we could decide all right, let's take it all right now, and

ten minutes later we'd be overrunning it. And if some other country was unhappy about it, well they wouldn't be able to get there in time. It'd be fatal complete. Then you'd have to like invade it get it back, and there's no way we have the will to do that. You know, this fits in a little bit. We're we would just sanction uh, the Beijing out of them for the next ten years or whatever. That could be our only response if I'm gonna be honest about it, boy,

And then what does that look like? The crazy cyber warfare? And what does that say to the world? What does that look like in the world stage? That is an announcement that, Okay, there are two coequal militaries out there. Isn't that just a statement of that? No, I don't think so, just because of the geographic reality of it.

If you ever look at a map, I mean, China is this enormous country and then you squint your eyes and you see Taiwan is this little island that's right next to I mean, right there, and they go, but just gobble it up? Now? Will we let them fully militarize the South China? See? No way, They've wanted Taiwan for seventy five years. It's always been a tiny speck right off of China. They didn't take it before because they didn't think they could. According to this person's interviews

with military people, they can now. So that's a that's a change in uh in situation um. And it kind of fits in with the Bolton book. We're gonna talk about little bit the Wall Street Journal. Of course, they picked out part of the Bolton book where he said, oh, some things that were somewhat flattering the President Trump. Don't

want those to sneak into the media. But on how you know, he's happy that Trump recognizes the situation with China um and Bolton is way more you know, hawk ish that direction, and he talks about past presidents and that sort of stuff, But he was, he was on how we everybody understands this now. Secretary Gates talked about

it yesterday in an interview. The world made a bet that if we let China run run free their econot with their economics, screwing everybody around the world, at least as their economy grows, they'll become nicer and all that sort of stuff didn't work. Bad idea it's over didn't help at all. All they did was build a very

frightening military with a very frightening attitude. But this expert, this expert, she said, the idea that they would uh that they that the middle class would take over and they'd open up and they'd get calmer, was was wrong. She said. What was also wrong, and in retrospect really wrong. Is this idea that you can tell somebody, we're going to allow you to be number two as long as you want, you can be a good, solid number two. That's what we're doing. Doesn't that make you feel good.

Nobody feels good being told we're going to allow you to be second best. Nobody actually wants to be vice president. I hadn't take that deal in a second. I had never thought of it that way before, But that was what what the United States was saying to China. We're absolutely in favor of you becoming number two, the second best economy and the second best of this, and the second best that. And then they thought, when we're not interested in big number two, we want to be number one.

So yeah, I suppose maybe, you know, I'm not sure I buy that argument, because there are plenty of countries that seem fine with being number seventeen. But maybe if you're number two, you smell number one and sure, and you want to be it. But what's interesting is China's wealth enabled it to double down on its aggressive totalitarian impulses. It was the opposite of what all of us hoped would happen. You know, back in the great opening of China,

Uh dialogue, um or you know the narrative. So the Bolton's book is coming out any day, although the Justice Department is suing. I'm saying he violated his nondisclosure agreements in the rest of it, but so much of it is leaked out it's it's become a moot point anyway. Uh. So you know, a couple of things bother me about the coverage. Number One, Bolton thinks Trump isn't good at foreign policy and doesn't know enough about it. Okay, if if you either agree or you don't agree, or you think, well,

he's still better in the alternative, that's fine. What bothers me about the coverage of it is that it's it's like a game of telephone it. The things that the book actually says are getting characterized and recharacterized um in the media. For instance, UM. One passage that's just getting flogged is uh. Bolton writes that Trump was quote pleading with she to ensure he'd win the reelection. But Bolton said he could not print the president's exact words because

of the government's prepublication review process. So pleading with she to ensure he'd win what do you actually say. I mean, if if he said, you know, it would really help our farmers, that would help me politically. I could get reelected. We could keep going down that path. I don't find that a particularly obnoxious or or wrong. Bolton says Trump was was obsessed with getting re elected to the exclusion of, like America's good, what would really serve America? I don't

know that's Bolton's opinion. That would be in the ivy beholder on an instant by instant basis. But you remember the famous Obama video of I'll have more freedom after the election. He was not doing something that would hurt his re election chances and tell him the leader of Russia, that I'll do I can do it after the election, but I can't do it now because it would hurt my chance of getting reelected. Lots of presidents have done that. That's a very common thing to do, might be unfortunate,

might be an stream. You might cross a line where it's extreme, But I don't know. I'd have to know the instance by instance, right decision right um. And the other one that that bothered me is that in the book, Bolton says he's asked, what did Putin think of Trump, and Bolton says, I think Putin thought he could play Trump like a fiddle, which evolved on NBC News and NPR This Morning to Bolton thought Putin could play Trump

like a fiddle. When Bolton was describing what he thought, Putin thought, and Putin thought he could play Obama like a fiddle. And he thought he could play George W. Bush like a fiddle. He's a pretty good fiddler too, by the way, Putin, I'll put a fiddle of gold against your soul. If you think you're better than me, I don't. I'm pretty bad. Um. Here's the part that I hate and why I don't really want to discuss this. Yeah, wouldn't that be incredibly heavy? Even think you'd be resonant

at all? Can we just do like a cash bed? I mean, if if I'm getting into some if I'm like, come up again, some golf hustler he thinks he can beat me, I'm not gonna play for solid gold golf clubs. They'd be heavy. Here's what I hate about all these books, though, and I hate slippery when you're sweating. I hate discussing these books. I hate all these books, and not just the political ones, because there's been lots of them, people who only do the right thing when they're going to

profit from it. And it happens all the freaking time, whether you were on the bicycling team with Lance Armstrong or or your FBI director Ray and uh you remember he said in the sixty Minutes interview they were considering invoking the amendment or whatever that is to remove the president because he's crazy, which wasn't even in the book, but you said it on television to sell the book.

So and and then Bolton saying the impeachment inquiry missed other troubling episod then show up to the impeachment inquiry and tell the people trying to impeach the president what happened. You think these things are so damaging, you think the guy is so unqualified, you had the opportunity to play a role in removing him, then do it, you freaking weasel. These people are such low lives. Yeah, well, even if you want to make all the arguments that what he

says is true, fine, go ahead, I don't care. But he is a weasel of the most weaseling character. He's saying, the most powerful man in the world is not fit for the office. It's obvious you had a chance to play a role in removing him and you didn't. Why because you're gonna make more money if you waited and put it in a book that is so that is so unpatriotic. You shouldn't be held up as anything but

a disgrace. That's embarrassing. It is fairly amusing the way the Democrats are holding their nose while they tout the book and what he says, because they are so angry at him for holding off, holding back until his book was out, because they wanted him to testify at the ridiculously rushed and show body impeachment thing, and he just no, not I'm busy that day. He just wouldn't cooperate in any way, wouldn't test it. We didn't say a word. Comy did the same thing lots and have done the

same thing. If you have something so Tyllerson did the same thing as Secretarist State, you have something so damaging that's going on behind the scenes, then you you call the Washington Post, or you get a bunch of microphones around you and you say it out loud, You resign in protest, or something be a freaking patriot if that's what you actually believe, or did you not think it was that big a deal and you've ooked it up a little bit to sell a book now that one, Well,

what's the disconnect is the portrayals are so dramatic in the books and so black and white and so horrifying. If they were that way, you would have said something or done something if you're a real patriot as a those to a you know, would be a star author. And so either these people are morally reprehensible, as you were suggesting, or the stuff in a book is jazzed up and made extra exciting and at the time you were thinking, I don't think this is a good decision,

but he's the president. We'll see how it goes. Man, if it's true, you gotta you gotta resign and go to a microphone and tell people. I just I don't. I don't get that. You know, I suppose if a well, I think you do get it. I think you've explained it quite nicely. You can't relate to it. It's not more complicated than that. No, No, I don't think it is at all. Book publisher calls you and says, you know, if you laid this out in book for him, and we had a real big build up to it, and

we time it right. You can make six million dollars. Oh boy. I'm working on my Jack Armstrongs Are Rotten Human Being book right now. I'm gonna get my first draft started. Uh Taco Bell employee fired over Black Lives Matter mask. I think this is wearing it or not wearing it or employee employee war. It got fired because it goes goes against her policy. But the manager who

intervened is in big trouble and political trouble. And so the reason I think this is a story is because every company in America could be dealing with this situation which day or next week. Why they're frantically virtue signal. A little more on that coming up the Armstrong and Getting Show. Some of our favorite syrups are under the gun. I hadn't. I don't believe I'd ever thought for a second about and Jemima and it going away is fine

with me. I don't care. I just I've I've I've had Jemima serp in my whole life, but I'd never put any thought into any of it. Name your corn syrup, something else that's fine. Um, but if it has racist origins or whatever, you get rid of it or whatever. But so um. Then I heard Mr Mrs Mrs Butterworth's is under pressure now and Canagara Brands this is, according to Chicago Business is reviewing Mrs Butterworth's imagery. And I thought,

what's Mrs Buttersworth? I mean I could picture Aunt Jemima and I thought, okay, I guess that is that racist or Rachel Ruter word's a black woman on there. I don't even know what it is. I've never thought about it. I don't think about these things. Maybe some of you do. Well, here's what it says in the in the Business report

about this. Uh. ConAgra Brands announced the review of its Mrs Butterworth's brand hours after rival syrup and pancake mixed brand Aunt Jemima said it was removing the imagery of

a black woman from its packaging. Mrs Butterworth's origin and race have never been specified by the brand, but the dark coloring of the of the syrup in the clear bottle gives many people the idea she is meant to represent a black woman, as clearly syrup blackish dark is kind of yes, obviously, because it's a clear bottle and syrup is the color it is, there's an assumption that it might be a black woman. And if it were a black woman, why can't it be a black woman?

I feel like some of this, like I said yesterday, I feel like if you introduced ant Jemima today, you could spin it as or what we're saying is, you know, black moms had great recipes back in the day too, right. It's it's not affirmative action, but it's I feel like if Mrs Butterworth was obviously white, there'll be pressure for only white moms can have great syrup because there's there's no claim of Mrs Butterworth venus slave or anything. Man,

I don't claim of it being anything. I've eaten in a couple of black run diners in d C. That is the best food I've ever had in my life, So yeah, I would think, yeah, heck yeah, is that what they're going for? I don't know what you know, Jack, have always assumed that the honey bear, which is you know, the honey container that she squeeze the honey out of, that's bear shaped. I've always assumed it was a grizzly because it was roughly honeycoat. No, I haven't assumed anything.

I used to do a hilarious bit for my kids with the honey bear. Though, yeah, I wish I had a video of it. It's like that movie with which movie is that with the talking bear ted O? No, like The Revenant where Leo fought a bear? No, No, not really. I would the honey bear. It's important that some of the honey was missing from it, and uh and I would have the honey bear walking and talking on the table and doing a character voice and all, and then I'd say, then I'd have the honey bear

whirl on one of my kids. You're looking at me? Are you looking at me? That makes me so mad? And then I'd squeeze it in. The honey would rise up and cover his face like he was turning wreck with anger. Great looking at me cracked him up. Honey bear bit. Mrs Butterworth Syrup was introduced in ninete. The syrup comes in a bottle shaped like a woman. The character talks and seemingly a woman shaped like that needs to get to the gym shaped like a woman. Wow,

now body shape not know? Plenty of women are not shaped like that bottle piling on the racism with body shape. Not wake up, thank you, that's Joe Biden there, folks.

It's rather critical of

old black drunks too, in that Tracy Morgan way. Um and it's it's quite funny, but I don't know if we do it our helves any good. Maybe google it, Uncle Jemima, I'm sorry bing it. Google is evil.
