Biden Burns the House Down

it is the Crell Cast, and I am Correl. That's a song I wrote. Hopefully it's being recorded today or tomorrow by my friend THEA Austin so we can get it out. I am so glad you are joining me on this Tuesday, August twentieth. Although, speaking of songs, honey, honey, last night at the Democratic National Conventions opening night, Joe Biden's song should have been burning down the house, because

that's what he did. I wasn't gonna watch, Okay. I've been to a DNC in twenty twenty four years ago, and when I was there, it was exciting, but it also it seemed kind of like a cult meeting to me, you know, And I mean, look, I know that the conventions are to energize the people, to get them out there, to get them you know, raising money and knocking on doors and sending out postcards. I get all that. So

they got to get them amped. I understand. But you know, I am just not one of these people to sit there and if they say, you know, we love Joe, we all of that, that's not for me. Okay, that's not for me. And the chanting of lock him up when Hillary was on stage was cute and ironic, whereas

they used to chant that about her. But I found it creepy when they chanted that about her, and I find that creepy when they chant that about him, even though he deserves to be locked up and he is a felon, and Hillary seemed to enjoy it for a moment. It just for me, I'm just talking about me. Maybe not you, I'm talking about me. For me, it just seems a little culty, That's all I'm saying. Now. You know, it isn't nowhere near the maga a ridiculousness and all

of that, but it does seem a little culty to me. However, Hillary's speech was incredible. It was kind of sad, you know to hear her talk about although I didn't get to break that glass ceiling, but she really did. Because let's remember, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, and if we didn't have the electoral College, we would have never had any of the mess that we had, you know. So she did win the popular vote, but she didn't win the presidency. And now she's handing that torch over

to another woman, Kamala Younger fifty nine. And you know, it was it was a bittersweet. I loved seeing Hillary. I love Hillary Clinton. I know that there are so many of you that do not. I know that do you say the name Clinton and people just recoil. I like Hillary Clinton. I like her a lot. I've met her and I've talked to her, and I just I like her. So it was great to see her last night. And then, oh my god, Biden's daughter came out and

introduced him. She did a pretty emotional speech. And when Biden came out, you know, you never know what you're going to expect. And he came out at I think it was eight thirty, which would have been eleven thirty there because they ran late, and I thought maybe a five or ten minute, fifteen minute speech. It's late, you know, don't want to tire him out, that sort of thing.

That man, if he'd have given that speech, you know, if he'd have been that Biden at the debate, he'd still be the candidate because he was fired up, and he was he had the receipts. Honey, he's still He pounded on Donald Trump as seated president, and he said things that we all feel like. I never thought as a seated president, I'd have to say that a candidate

for office is a convicted felon. You know. He he just went down the list of what's wrong with Donald Trump and reminded us all of some of the real horrors that Trump has done and some of the real horrible things that Trump has said. And so Biden was just excellent last night. And I'd love to hear your comments. I know you watched it, so I'd love to hear your comments. You can text them to seven oh two

eight five oh oh five oh seven. That's the number right over my shoulder here, uh, seven oh two eight five oh five oh seven, or you can leave a voicemail on that number if you'd like, Or of course you can comment down below, like and subscribe here on YouTube, YouTube, dot com, forward slash really Carrell, and at Patreon I read all of my patron's comments Patreon dot com, forward slash really Carrell. This Sunday, we're going to do another

patron call. So if you are a patron, you're going to see my mug this Sunday if you want to tune in and join in the fun. So last night, the Democrats, they just are putting on a show in Chicago. They're gonna have superstars. I don't think Taylor Swift and Beyonce are going to be there, but who knows James Taylor. You know, Oh he's a wife beater, so I don't really like him. But superstars are in attendance. Two of my friends were right down front. One is a friend,

one is an acquaintance. Kevin Newsom was down front. He's a friend. Congressman Robert Garcia, he's an acquaintance. I used to live in Long Beach. He was our mayor. Met him many times, talk to him many times, and he gave me a certificate. He gave me an awarded somewhere around here for when I was on the wall at the heart or when I'm being inducted onto the wall at the Harvey Milk Plaza. Also a big shout out

to the Gay Archives. They did an interview with me the LGBTQ Archives and now they're starting to post it at their social media's. He's chopping it up into different segments and it's really pretty exciting to be recognized. He just treated me with such kindness. And yesterday he's like, well, you're a legend. You are, you know, you're such an inspiration and you know, I mean he treats me with you know, I just I'm not used to being treated like an LGBTQ icon or legend, and he really treats

me that way, and so that's really nice. The guy that runs Sam, he runs the Gay Archives, and it's

just kind of overwhelming for me. You know. One of the quotes he posted is getting a lot of reviews, which was my thoughts on fame and being out and how I think it's just convenient that a lot of people come out after they get their money, after they get their position, after they've retired, particularly sports stars, they come out after Andress and Cooper came out after a famous lesbian talk show host came out after you know, or she's still a talk show host, but she didn't

come out from the beginning. She came out, you know, after her career had you know, made money, and she was already secure in her stations and all of that, which is great. Visibility is visibility. But as someone who was just overtly gay, it would have helped me in my life and my career if these people had been out and they weren't. And so I made the statement that if you choose to be a public figure, you should not be able to be in the closet. And

everyone's like, no, that's everyone's personal choice. Yes, it is your personal choice to be in the closet, that is true. But if you are going to live a public life and be in front of people and put yourself out there, then you don't get that luxury. And if you don't want that, if you don't want to be out, then

don't be a public person. Okay, But if you're going to be a public person, then you owe it to gays and lesbians everywhere to be out, and more importantly, you owe it to yourself because to do otherwise is a lie. And I hate public people who lie. I hate that. I hate an actor or a singer or an influencer or whatever. I hate when they lie about who they are to their fans, and not telling the world that you are gay if you are a public person,

is a lie. It's a lie of omission. And so if you don't want to tell that lie, don't be a public person. You know, it's pretty simple. But if you're going to be in the public view, I mean, Andrew and I couldn't hide it. But even and if we could have hidden it, we wouldn't have hidden it, you know. And yes, I've taken a lot of crap

and slings and arrows. And as I heard Hillary last night at the convention talk about the glass ceilings that she has broken as a woman, I thought, well, I have actually broken glass ceilings, pink ceilings, I call them. As a gay person, first gay person signed to this record label, first gay person on this radio station, first gay person to do this or that. I have done

that in my lifetime many times. And then of course there was the court case when Andrew died where I changed the law for gay people, you know, and I did that because I had to be out and authentic and be me. Lying about yourself is never good but if you want to do that, don't have a public job. And I'm sorry if anyone feels otherwise. But anyway, so the DNC and they gave their shout out to the gaye last night, shout out to the gaye. Even Biden,

he was like, love who you want to love. I'd love to love who I want to love, but they will let me love them. Honey. There's more than a few men I've seen I'd like to love, but they don't want to receive the love I want to give men because they're heterosexual. There's this singer online. His name is Abel Heart, that's his handle on Instagram. I want to marry him. I just like. He's a ginger, he's gorgeous, he's tattooed, he's a musician. I just I want to

marry him. But he doesn't even know I exists. And he's young, he's like in his maybe thirties. Anyway, So tonight the DNC, Michelle and Barack Obama. We only get not one but two Obamas, and that is fabulous. And Barack is gonna go out there and be him. He's a great orator. I can't wait for his speech. I can't wait he's gonna revel and rouse the crowd, and that's what this is all about, getting momentum. And poor Trump.

Trump has scheduled a news conference or a press conference or an event every day this week in the afternoon as not to compete with the DNC, but to stay in the media himself. And they say he's going to lay out policy and he's not going to be doing all the insults and stuff. Let's just bull crap. Donald Trump A cannot not tell lies. He lies every single time he speaks. Now. Number two, he knows nothing of policy, and he certainly knows nothing of policies that would help

America or help the world. And number three, the man's insane. He is infirm, he is demented, He is showing signs of mental cognition problems, you know, just stopping for twenty two seconds. Even Fox News is pulling away from his events now. And these people are weird. Why is the GOP even a recognized political party. Members of the GOP are bringing sperm cups to events saying that it's JD. Vancy sperm. Okay, that's just freaking weird, wearing t shirts

that say Dictator Day one. I hope y'all hear Ember. She's up and about Dictator day one. That's weird shirts that say he can grab me by my and an arrow pointing down to their you know, nether words. These people are strange. The party is strange. Marjorie Taylor Green is a nut. Josh Holly is a nut. What is that? The guy that sat by while kids were rat Jim Jordan,

he's a nut. And hey, George Clooney, you did this big letter against Biden and the New York Times, But didn't you do a documentary about Jim Jordan that was gonna come out and change everything and it never came out? What's up with that, mister Jordan or a mister Clooney. So these people insane. They're not a credible party. They're a cult, and they're a weird cult with weird habits and rituals and you know, and Biden went after him last night. What did he say, old spirits in new clothes.

I think that was his line because he was referencing the KKK and all of these racists of the past who did such horror in his lifetime that he saw, and he's seeing them all again this time they're not wearing hoods, They're wearing Maga hats. Oh, the same spirit in different clothes. That was powerful what Biden said about that, because it's true. Maga is just the KKK over in Europe, the British Defense League or whatever they're calling it, or the EDL European that's just the KKK and Nazis. And

last night Joe Biden called them Nazis. He said, they are Nazis. I've seen Nazis here in America, the people on January sixth. Nazis the Klan, just in different clothes. Oh. It was a powerful speech last night. Powerful powerful speech. And I hope you got to see it. If not, it's available online, I would watch it. It is a

wonderful And think about this. When he won his first election, he was twenty nine, but he would be thirty by the time he was sworn in, and so at first he was too young to be sworn in to take office at twenty nine. And as he said, now at eighty one, I'm being too old. I'm being told I'm too old to be president. Fifty one years in Washington, d C. In high ranking jobs, then at Congress, vice president, president, that's some service. That is some service. And we do

owe that man a big debt. We really do. Last night he burned down the house. He burned it down. Incredible. Go watch it if you haven't seen it, can't wait for tonight, Obama.

We're not going back, We're not giving in. We are gonna fight, cause when we fight, we win. All right? So was your social Security number one of the what was it

a billion or kadrillion gazillion that got hacked recently? I'm sure you all heard about this. Well, there's an easy way to find out. I went to it last night, and yes, my number was in fact leaked. Now I'll tell you what to do if yours was. The website address is go to this website. Are you ready? Write this down? Get a pen. I'll give you a moment. Get a pen, write this down, make a note, pull up a note app on your phone, whatever. Bookmark this part of the show. But go to this web address.

Enter your info. You don't have to enter your social by the way, just your name and your year of birth and the state you're in. And if you recently moved, like I found mine in a breach from California, not from Nevada. So if you've moved, enter a state you were in previously do a couple searches. But here's the website. Go here. This is the official website. This is not a third party website. This is the website set up

to see if you've been breached. That is okay, I'm gonna give you the phonetics and as in Nancy pas In, Paul diaz In, David NPD dot pen tester p E n tes t e R like a person that tests a pen dot com, so NPD period pen tester period calm okay NPD like New Orleans PD, NPD dot pen tester p E n t e s t er dot com. Go there and to your info and it will tell you if you're if you've been in this league. Now what can you do? Because I was in the league,

but I'm not nervous about it. Two evens. Number one, I have frozen all of my accounts in terms of TransUnion, Equifax, and Experience. You can go to their websites or get their app, and for free you can freeze your credit account so no one can access your TRW report, your experience report to head them in TRW for decades, your experience report, they can't access it, and they can't open

a new account without you releasing that hold. Whenever I apply for credit, I have to go online and unlock my account for one day, because you can unfreeze it for a day, or you can unfreeze it indefinitely, so you have complete control over it. And you just go to their websites TransUnion dot Com, Experience dot com, whichever ones. And at that website I gave you the NPD dot

Pentester dot com. At the bottom they have a link to Equifaxexperience and TransUnion TransUnion dot com, Experience dot Com, Equifax dot Com. You go to those three and you lock your credit so no one can get on it. By doing that, they can't open a bank account in your name, either because to open a bank account or in any name because to open a bank account with a social they run a credit check. And therefore those things that I have done are the biggest things you

can do. The second is because it has appeared in several breaches. I have credit monitoring paid for by these companies. Often you'll get a letter that says your information has been compromised. Please accept this one you And so I've gotten three of those and I save them and when it runs out, I use the other one to renew and the other one to renew. And so I have this credit monitoring so I know if my balances go up and down. I know. I just know anything that

happens with my credit or banking. So first, freeze your accounts. Okay, freeze them. That's free, easy to do. You can release it when you need it. So freeze your experience, your Equifax, and your TransUnion if you are in that breach, do that immediately today. Don't waste time because it's out there. So that's that's what you need to do. Go to NPD dot pentester dot com, put in your infos see if your social was breached. If it is, freeze all of your credit reports. That way, you don't have to

worry about someone setting up credit in your name. And I'm sure they've probably tried. I've gotten emails that say, is this you try? And I'm like, no, not me, So you know they but they can't get in. So I mean, it's as safe as you're going to be in today's world. Right, It's as safe as you're going to be all right, growing up. I read an article in the New York Times this morning. I didn't read

the New York Times. I don't read the New York Times, but Apple News puts articles in there from the New York Times, and they're not behind a paywall because Apple has an agreement with the New York Times. So since I'm a subscriber to Apple Premium Plus, I get the exercise, Apple Fitness, I get Apple TV Plus, I get all of that to my streaming indulgence because of the exercise,

because of the yoga and all that. But on Apple News this morning, the New York Times had an article, and the article said why are families going into debt for Disney vacations? And it was possibly the most atrocious headline I'd ever seen. So I grew up in a somewhat poor household, and neither of my parents had credit cards. My mother died without one credit card in her possession. She did not well, I take that back, she had one for me. I gave her a credit card, just

like my sister. I gave her a credit card. But my mother had no credit cards of her own. None. And growing up, not only were there not credit cards in the sixties and seventies and somewhat in the eighties, but if there were, they were very hard to get, so we didn't have them, and so going to Disneyland with my family was a big deal because mom and dad had to actually save up cash. And even back in the seventies it was expensive. You know, it's like

nineteen ninety five to get in. But then you got your book of tickets. But remember back, you know, that's a lot of money. For instance, ten thousand dollars in nineteen sixty five is one hundred and six thousand dollars today.

I know, I told someone online that yesterday. So families now are going into major debt, not just little debt like a six hundred dollars sectional, but major debt, major and why to take their kids on Disney vacations Because a they get a vacation, they're either on a boat or they're in a theme park for three days or whatever, and be their kids have the fun and all of that. So I read this and I felt badly for a

couple reasons. First of all, Disney is an enormous corporation that makes billions of dollars, and the notion that they would even you know, a family would even need to go into debt to take a Disney vacation just means the vacations are too expensive, that's the first thing. And admission to Disney parks way too expensive, two three hundred dollars a day, that's just you know, my my parents wouldn't take us, we wouldn't go. When we did go,

we paid cash. Now, I was when in my younger days I used to think that older people were dumb when they said if you can't pay cash for it, don't buy it. I thought, well, that's what credit's for. But that's how you get in to a whole lot of debt. You know. I try to pay my credit cards off every month. If I can't, then I feel very badly. If I carry even one hundred dollars balance,

I feel very badly about it. And so these families are getting into we're talking seven to ten thousand dollars debt or more to take Disney cruises to go to Disney theme parks. And they say it's worth it, the value is worth it. Blahlah blah, bah blah, bah blah blah blah. This is why Americans are failing. First of all, this is an American thing. You don't have people in other countries going into debt to go to a Disneyland or to go on a Disney cruise. It's not their

cultures would not even allow it. But second of all, you know I have to tell you vacations and of any kind. That article sort of spurred in me that, you know, I can't really afford a vacation, can you. I mean, yes, I have tons of credit cards. I could afford vacation in terms of putting it on credit, I could, you know, charge up five grand or seven grand or whatever and pay for it over a year

or whatever that may be. But in terms of just being able to afford, like charge everything this month and then pay it off next month after the vacation, I couldn't do that. So I don't go. And so that has been as you all know, if you used to listen to me, I used to travel a lot, but it was either either paid for by the tourism bureaus or by the the you know, the hotel or whatever that wanted me to come cover them, or I made

enough money at Kgo and KFI too. Like when Andrew and I went to Europe, it was a fourteen thousand dollars vacation for a eight days for his birthday. Well, guess what I paid for that with one Earthlink check for endorsements we got we got we each got ten grand a month to endorse. Endorse, Yeah, endorse Earthlink on KFI to read their ads. And that was just one of our endorsements. So you know, when we got the Earthlink check the next month, I just paid the fourteen grand.

So that you know. The notion of charging a vacation like and just paying for it over a year or two or three, I can't do that. I mean I can. I have the available credit, but I just I can't bring myself to do it. And sometimes I wonder if I should. Life is short, My condo's paid for. If I die with debt, they'll just you know, but I don't. I don't want one hundred thousand dollars hanging over my head, or fifty or twenty or you know, the average Americans

eighteen thousand dollars in credit card debt. I don't want to be eighteen thousand dollars in credit card debt. And so I stay home. Do you guys vacate vaca? Do what do you vacate? No, let's leave VAK. I was trying to think of a short word for vacation. I guess it's vaca. Do you guys? Vac do you? When's the last vacation you all took? I'd love put your comments down below. When's the last time you went away for more than three days? The last trip I took

was to Long Beach for a funeral. The trip before that was to Long Beach to see a dying friend. In fact, the only place I've gone since I've lived in Las Vegas over the last six years is Long Beach. I haven't gone to San Francisco. I used to go all the time. I love San Francisco. I was looking at houses there yesterday, apartments, condos. I can't. There's just no way, you know, two hundred thousand and ain't gonna

buy me anything there. So it's like, I can't, you know, I'd love to live in the Bay Area and not in a mobile home. I can't buy a mobile home. My friend just gave away his mobile home, gave it away, you know, gave it to the park, surrender it to the park. I don't want to buy something that in time just whear's out. So when's the last time you all took a vacation? I'd love to hear from you, and where'd you go? And you know, because in the New York Times they're saying that families are going into

major debt to take Disney vacations. What do you think of that? I mean, parents, it's great to take your kids on. But see, my parents would said, we just ain't going. My parents did not get into debt to take us places, to take us to amusement parks, or to take us on vacations, or they just didn't do it. Money was too tight, you know, and they weren't about

to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a vacation. Now, we did go places, but you know what, I can't remember an actual family vacation with my family where the four of us, me and my sister, my mom and dad went away, stayed at hotels. I don't think we ever did that. I don't think I ever took a family vacation. I think we just took day trips because we didn't have the money. I've never been to Yosemite.

My family didn't, you know, go camping and go to I've never been to places like that ever, Like ever, I've never been to Yosemite I've never been. We did go camping in Joshua Tree with my sister, but that was cheap. I am Corel, but who you want to be, so I don't hurt anybody. Leave your comments down below. We'll see you tomorrow.
