Happy Thursday, 7 00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:42.000 November seventh, the day of my birth, nineteen sixty two. 8 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.640 What a year it was. The Cuban missile crisis had 9 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.799 just ended, and out I popped. Actually I was a 10 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.000 c section because I was so gay that even back 11 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:51.759 then I knew I didn't want to go near a vagina. 12 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.240 Uh so that's so not true. I've probably slept with 13 00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.719 more women than most of my straight male listeners. Actually, hey, 14 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.280 the late seventies, early eighties it was fun. So why 15 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.319 am I here today? When I said yesterday I wasn't 16 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.920 going to be here a couple reasons. First of all, 17 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:10.799 I realized there's no one I'd rather be with on 18 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.079 my birthday than you guys. And that's the truth. That's 19 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.439 really the truth. I don't have any plans today, no 20 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.200 lunch or dinner plans. No friends have said I'm gonna 21 00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:22.840 take you here or there. I know it sounds kind 22 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:24.560 of pathetic, and in a way it kind of is. 23 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.599 But you know, Ember is here with me, and I 24 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.200 still got my house, and you know, so there's the 25 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.640 bright side, things to be grateful for, and an important 26 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.359 lesson that Andrew Howard taught me, which was back in 27 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.840 the days of KFI, we were very popular. My birthday 28 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.599 fell on a Wednesday, and I invited a lot of 29 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:49.599 people from work and stuff and friends, and Emily Johnson 30 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:51.920 and den Zamorrow were the only two to show up, 31 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.879 and so I tried to have a good time, but 32 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.400 being me in my thirties, was but hurt. It's like, 33 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.599 no one should up for my birthday, you know. So 34 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.519 I go to bed with Andrew that night and his 35 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.520 back is to me, and I'm thinking, well, this ain't 36 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.560 a good way to end a birthday. And he turns 37 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.599 over and he says, I'm a little pissed. And I said, 38 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.039 what are you mad at? You know, it's my birthday. 39 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.840 Why are you mad? And he said, because it wasn't 40 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.960 enough for you. Me, Emily Dan being here celebrating with you, 41 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.560 that wasn't enough for you. You needed more and you 42 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.840 know what someday you'll wish that you had me and 43 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.319 Emily and Dan to celebrate your birthday with. Well, a 44 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:40.400 little bastard was right, and today is the day. And 45 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.199 there have been other days where I wished that I 46 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.400 had three or four friends to be in here and 47 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.199 celebrate with. So it's an important lesson in gratitude. And 48 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.840 so today I'm very grateful to be alive, to be 49 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.800 sixty two and relatively healthy. I am grateful that Ember 50 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.840 is here with me. Yet again, she turns now this year, 51 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.639 so I'm not taking that for granted. Certainly, I'm grateful 52 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.960 that many listeners have sent money, and I have enough 53 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.360 to take myself out to a very nice lunch or 54 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.360 dinner if I want to. I'm very grateful that friends 55 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.800 and family have texted. That's the new communication, I guess. 56 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.360 So they have texted, so I am not alone. There 57 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.639 might come a day where I don't get any text messages, 58 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:36.080 but today I got many and many happy wishes from you, Randy, Rachel, Sibille, 59 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.639 so many of you, Sid Castro, I could go down 60 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.680 the line there, Mike, and just many of you who 61 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:49.719 have sent text Tracy, other people on Instagram, other listeners 62 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.759 who have been with me for a decade or more 63 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.400 and feel like I'm part of the family, and I 64 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.159 am why I'm here today. So, you know, birthdays for me, 65 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.280 I don't know about you, but birthdays for me are 66 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.520 the start of my year. They're my new year. See 67 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.960 December thirty one January one, that's the Gregorian calendar New Year, 68 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.000 that's the new year that Julius Caesar wanted us to have. 69 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.720 But I believe that your birthday, and this is why 70 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.360 it's kind of pathetic I'm alone today because all of 71 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.800 my friends know that to me, my birthday is the 72 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:29.800 most important holiday of the year, and your birthday should 73 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.399 be your most important holiday of the year. It's the 74 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.360 day we celebrate you, your life, your existence, your being, 75 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.639 and it's your new year. Okay, this is your new year, 76 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.680 you know. Sixty two years ago, at this moment, I 77 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.480 was you know, a few hours old, seven months and 78 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.160 a few hours because I was a seven month baby. 79 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:58.079 And as the start of my new year. For instance, 80 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.680 next week, I have my physical need to have one 81 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.680 once a year. I have mine around my birthday. Ember 82 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.480 has her labs on Saturday and her appointment on Monday. 83 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.120 It's her month as well. Her birthday is November fifteenth, 84 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.199 and so she'll be having her physical And I also 85 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.560 reset my goals on my birthday. I don't do New 86 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:25.000 Year's resolutions. I actually do that on my birthday. And 87 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.759 I think you should too. And I have to tell 88 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:32.600 you what's happened in America is remarkably liberating for me. 89 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.720 And you're gonna be like, what, But I'm telling you 90 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:42.079 the results of the election are ultimately very liberating for me. 91 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:47.160 And let me tell you why. You know, many many 92 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:52.040 years ago, I saw the true face of America. In 93 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.399 nineteen seventy six, when I was fourteen years old in 94 00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:01.519 Long Beach, California, I realized I was gay. Now, I 95 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.839 still went ahead and had a girlfriend and tried to 96 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.759 do all the things that a straight kid should do 97 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.759 just to try to fit in. But I knew in 98 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.600 my heart I liked men, and at fourteen, I was 99 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:18.959 already fooling around with adult men. Now, whether you frown 100 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:23.560 at that or whatever, oh well, I was fourteen, I 101 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.040 was in junior high school, thought I was grown, and 102 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.600 I ended up having a lot of sex in bathrooms. 103 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.800 That's when I in nineteen seventy six, when I was gay, 104 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.560 and there's a whole book about the importance of tea rooms. 105 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.360 They're called I had sex at Cherry Park and granad 106 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.920 a lot, almost every day, and usually in the bathroom, 107 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:50.959 and usually with an older man. Was that statutory rape technically, yeah, 108 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.439 but you know that was I'm just being honest with y'all. 109 00:06:54.439 --> 00:07:00.759 That's what I did. And as someone who knew they 110 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.199 were different and gay, I saw the face of America. 111 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.079 Even back then, the seventies and eighties might have been 112 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.519 a little more free wheeling and free loving and all 113 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:16.639 of that, but the moment that Aids appeared, that all changed, 114 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:22.439 and hating gays again became very fashionable. And so I 115 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:27.800 have seen how a government and a country cannot only 116 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.319 turn its back on a community but allow it to 117 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:37.240 die with impunity and just say things like it's only 118 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.959 gay people that are dying, it's just fags that get it. 119 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:48.240 I heard all of that in the eighties, early eighties, okay, 120 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.720 and even before that. When I was eighteen years old 121 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.120 in nineteen eighty and I started to go out socially, 122 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.199 I saw the ugliness heaped up on the gay community 123 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:07.560 every single day by good god fearing Christian white Americans 124 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.759 and Black Americans and just about everybody in between. And 125 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.240 back then, I didn't want to believe that that was 126 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.160 the majority of America. In my heart, I said, no, 127 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:25.319 this is just haters. Everyone's gonna have haters. This is 128 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:31.480 not how America feels as a whole. Then Andrew and 129 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.399 I got our jobs at KFI in the late nineties, 130 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.200 and in between that point, I was an out, proud 131 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:45.879 gay entertainer, and I learned. I learned something very valuable, 132 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.159 which this election has reminded me of, which is why, 133 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.080 in a way, on this my birthday, it is very 134 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.840 liberating to be here and talk to you about it. 135 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:59.519 What is it that I learned, and what is it 136 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.919 this election has amplified for me? And why is that liberating? 137 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.480 I'll tell you in just a minute, all right, I am, 138 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.600 of course, Carrell, and thank you so much for being 139 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.399 here with me today and every day.

Thank you very much. 157 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.279 Some of you sent cards to my eight five five 158 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.759 zero West Desert End Road Unit one O two five 159 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.279 oh five Las Vegas eight nine one one seven address. 160 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.000 Thank you very much. The bill a thank you for 161 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.960 the fifty dollars money order. Uh so, yeah, No, lots 162 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.000 to be grateful for. And the fact that I made 163 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.279 it to sixty two. And as I just was telling you, 164 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.000 so many of my friends, including my husband died before forty, 165 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.440 some of them before thirty because of AIDS. So this 166 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:02.679 election was fair. I know a lot of you don't 167 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:04.639 want to believe that it was fair, but it was fair. 168 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.720 Seventy seven million people turned out for Trump, sixty six 169 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.159 for Harris. If every voter that voted for Biden had 170 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:16.039 turned out for Trump or for Harris, Kamala would have won. 171 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.879 But they didn't. They stayed home, sat on their hands, 172 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:25.879 did whatever. And so now a very very ugly part 173 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.320 of American history is about to happen, probably the ugliest 174 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.000 in our two hundred and forty eight years. They're going 175 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:36.559 to gut education even more because they liked stupid people. 176 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.080 If you looked at the exit polling data, do you 177 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.879 know that a majority of people that voted for Donald 178 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:46.039 Trump did not graduate high school or have no college 179 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.679 at all? None? Do you know a majority are white? 180 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:55.360 Sixty plus percent are white. They're white, and by the numbers, 181 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:59.399 they're uneducated. In fact, the dummer you are, the more 182 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.440 you vote for t Trump. And I just mean by 183 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.279 the numbers, how much time you spent in school, how 184 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:13.720 much time you know what your job is? So uneducated? 185 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:22.080 Seventy seven million under educated people voted for Donald Trump. Meanwhile, 186 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.000 the more educated people, the people that vote blue. This now, 187 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.240 this has proven statistically. You can get mad at me 188 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.639 for this, but if you vote read you have a 189 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.159 lower IQ than people who don't. It's just a statistic. 190 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.759 And so on this birthday, and I told you it's 191 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.480 the day that I reset my year, that I look ahead, 192 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.759 I have to tell you I'm kind of liberated because 193 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:52.200 guess what, America has shown its faith and you guys 194 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.399 don't want to believe it. You're all in shock and 195 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.960 grief and you're all just in despair. Listen, bitches, I've 196 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.399 been dealing with these people since I was fourteen years old. Okay, 197 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.519 ain't none of this new? Y'all are acting like Maga 198 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.960 and all this hatred and all this ignorance and stupidity 199 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.320 is new. Well that means you ain't been gay, black, brown, Asian, 200 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.840 a woman, You ain't been a minority in America. Because 201 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.480 if you have been a minority in America, you know 202 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:29.759 that this shit ain't new. These people have been there 203 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.200 and they've been evil, and they've been doing evil, they 204 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.679 just haven't been doing it to you. So now we 205 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.879 have all these shocked Democrats that the American people would 206 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:46.240 vote for a criminal, that they would vote for a 207 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:51.519 white supremist who is anti gay, anti woman, anti trans. Oh, 208 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:55.080 they're just shocked that seventy seven million of them would 209 00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:00.360 show up. I ain't. These people's hatred has all always 210 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:05.559 been there and always been pointed at me, okay always 211 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:10.879 as my entire life, this country has made me feel 212 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.879 like I don't belong And what are they gonna do? 213 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.919 What is Trump gonna do to me? Take away same 214 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.279 sex marriage? Well, A, no one wants to marry me, 215 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.080 and b there are other states where it's legal and 216 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.120 other countries. So if once again my whole life. I 217 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.440 didn't have same sex marriage in my life until my 218 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:32.279 late forties, Andrew and I couldn't get married, but I 219 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.879 had a husband, just couldn't be a husband under the law, 220 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.720 but he was every bit my husband. Trust me on that. 221 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.080 What is he gonna do? Make it legal to fire 222 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.399 me for being gay? It's still legal in many states 223 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.960 to fire me for being gay. It was It was 224 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.399 legal my whole life to fire me for being gay. 225 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:57.639 So take your best shot, Donald, What's he gonna do? 226 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:01.159 Make it a crime to be gay? Tautomy laws just 227 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.039 were changed in the early two thousands. It's been illegal 228 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.879 to have gay sex my whole life. Ain't stop me 229 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:14.440 from having it. So what exactly, Oh, well, they're not 230 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:18.639 gonna teach slavery or diversity in schools. They didn't teach 231 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.840 diversity in my school. None of the stories I read 232 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.799 were about black people, and yet I am the least prejudiced, 233 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.320 most informed on black issues that there are. They certainly 234 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:34.080 didn't teach about famous gay people and their accomplishments. And 235 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:36.159 yet Andrew and I wanted to start a Walk of 236 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.519 Pride for that very reason to because I know who 237 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.240 they are. I spread the word about, you know, people 238 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:49.039 like Michaelangelo or Aristotle or whoever. So what exactly are 239 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:53.159 these ugly, horrible people gonna do the same thing they've 240 00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:57.279 always done. They're just gonna do it now with a 241 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.440 mandate from the government, but they already have. I had 242 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.600 to watch George W. Bush stand on television and say 243 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.799 he wanted to add a constitutional amendment to make marriage 244 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.720 between a man and a woman. He wanted to amend 245 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.480 away my right to ever get married, and the country 246 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:23.799 backed him up. So y'all seemed shocked and appalled at 247 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.519 the amount of racism and the amount of home of No, 248 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.799 this country has always shown you who it was. No 249 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.840 one wanted to believe it. Abraham Lincoln didn't want to 250 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:38.360 believe that after the Civil War we would stay just 251 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.440 as divided. He wanted to think the wounds would healed, 252 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.639 families would go back together. He was wrong. He was 253 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.759 wrong to save the Union. There I said it. Abraham 254 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:55.679 Lincoln was wrong. We should have split back then. We 255 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.679 should not have been the United States because we're not united, 256 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.960 because there are a group of people about twenty four percent, 257 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.839 because that's how many voted for Trump, so about one 258 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:12.400 quarter of the country is still these evangelical, puritan white 259 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:16.799 racist bigots who are so afraid that white people are 260 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:20.240 going to lose control, they would put a criminal in 261 00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:23.480 the Oval office. That ain't a shock to me. That 262 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:27.759 ain't a surprise to me. If it's a surprise to anyone, 263 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:29.880 you ain't been paying attention, or you ain't been gay 264 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.119 or buy or trans, or black or brown or yellow, 265 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:40.319 you ain't been an atheist. This country is a vile 266 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:46.000 and disgusting country in many many ways, and we try 267 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:50.240 to get out of it. We've never made slavery writ Ever, 268 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.799 we have never owned up to that original sin. Ever, 269 00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:01.039 we have never made it right with the Native Americans, ever, 270 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.279 the genocide that we did to them, shoving them on 271 00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.400 the worst pieces of property in the country, not living 272 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.759 up to our financial agreements with them. We have sinned 273 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:17.079 against so many that you're shocked when America shows its 274 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:21.799 true face. But now I have a liberating question for you. 275 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:27.119 Now that you've seen the true face of America, what 276 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.960 do you don't do about it? Now that you know what 277 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:35.240 I know about the country, that it is a majority, 278 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:38.799 well carell seventy six percent of the people didn't vote 279 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:44.119 for Trump. They didn't stop him. You know all these 280 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.839 questions at the park. There's a woman named Linda, and 281 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.960 she claims to be my friend. She even texts me things. 282 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.960 She voted for Trump. If you're gay and someone you 283 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.480 know voted for Trump, they're not your friends and they're 284 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:01.960 not your allies. That's simple. If you're a woman and 285 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:05.440 someone you know voted for him, they're not your friends. 286 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.519 They're not I don't care what they say. They're not 287 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.759 your friends. Friends. Don't vote for people that want to 288 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.559 do away with other people.

Well? I am going to 309 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.599 change the show a little because progressive talk shows are 310 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.559 losing audience left and right over the last few days. 311 00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.160 I think many of you feel there's no point it. 312 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:43.599 Just why listen to it? It doesn't matter a lot 313 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:45.519 of my friends are like, I'm just gonna listen to music. 314 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.559 I'm gonna read books. People are getting off social media. 315 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:50.519 I'm off of it. I don't want to read threads. 316 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.160 I don't want to read any of it, Instagram, none 317 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.000 of it. I just don't want to see it. And 318 00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:58.440 I don't think you guys do either. So standing here 319 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:01.079 every day and doing politics and going work, so we 320 00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:04.079 are going to change the tone of the show and 321 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:06.680 the things that we cover and how we cover them. 322 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:10.000 And I'm looking forward to that. You know, yesterday I 323 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.200 had a conversation with Steve and a couple other friends 324 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:13.519 and they were like, I want to go back to 325 00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:17.200 being who I was before Donald Trump. And I said, 326 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.839 you know, I do too, and they said, yeah, before 327 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:23.480 Andrew died, you could care less about politics. You were 328 00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:28.519 all about music, entertainment, Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Tony, new record releases, 329 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:33.160 new movie releases, new television shows, and pop culture. You 330 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.000 were like the Queen of pop culture, like what was 331 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.759 going on out in pop culture that people wanted to 332 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:42.119 talk about. And then Andrew died and suddenly you became 333 00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:44.440 very political. And maybe it's because I felt that I 334 00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.519 had to fill his shoes or whatever because he was 335 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:49.720 the political beast, or maybe that part of him just 336 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:54.000 went into me. But I want out of that. I 337 00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:57.160 don't want to follow. It doesn't matter. We had Joe 338 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:01.440 Biden for four years in Washington, d C. Thing exponentially 339 00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:05.160 better for gays in this country. No, did women gain 340 00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:09.400 or lose rights under Joe Biden lost them. You know, 341 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.960 I vote Democratic and I'm glad when Democrats win, but 342 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:16.559 Bill Clinton don't ask, don't tell, and the defense of 343 00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:22.079 Marriagjack came out of that Democratic regime. So to me, 344 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.839 it really doesn't matter who the president is because under 345 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.160 Democrat presidents there's been horrible gay stuff done, and under 346 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.880 you know, and or just no stuff done. Yeah, Biden 347 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:36.519 met with gays and he made a few laws that 348 00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:41.240 were ceremonial. Did he make sure that Congress enshrined same 349 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.720 sex marriage as a law? Nope, No, didn't didn't even 350 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.480 push for it, just left the Supreme Court ruling as 351 00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.079 that and didn't push for that law. Democrats have had 352 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:55.839 the House and Senate many times with a Democratic president 353 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.759 like under Obama, did they enshrine Roe v. Wade back then? 354 00:22:58.920 --> 00:22:59.119 Now? 355 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:01.880 And you'll give me a million reasons why they couldn't 356 00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:04.359 do it. Oh, there were too many political oppositions, there 357 00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:07.799 was too much. They couldn't break the filibuster. Oh yeah. 358 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:10.599 Excuses are like assholes. Everyone's got them in summer, bigger 359 00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.799 than others. You know, all I ever hear from people 360 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.359 are excuses why they can't help gay people. It's all 361 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:20.160 I ever hear. Oh, well, and now is not the time. 362 00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:23.279 Oh we don't have the votes. Oh this, oh that still. 363 00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:25.799 In other words, there's never a good time to help 364 00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.839 gay people. Is that the idea all women have ever 365 00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:34.880 heard their whole lives is why someone can't help them. Oh, 366 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.839 we can't make Roe v. Wade to national law. Oh 367 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:39.759 we can't do that. We can't do that. We can't 368 00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.440 actually make sure that you're paid as much money as 369 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:47.559 your male counterparts. It's a slow process. I'm sixty two. 370 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.000 I don't ask of today. I don't have time to 371 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:55.400 wait for the process. It's very liberating. I almost feel 372 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.319 like I don't have a country like I have a 373 00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:02.720 state or a series of states. I'm not an American, really, 374 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:07.799 I guess I'm a Californian, or a Massachuset, or an 375 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:15.359 Oregonian or a Washingtonian. I'm not an American because America's 376 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.400 face is the faced ages showed at this election, because 377 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.720 the face we always show. Even when Democrats win, we 378 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:27.440 still give the other side some of the things they want. So, 379 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:31.119 you know what, let Washington be wht Let Trump dismantle 380 00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:33.680 it all, tear it all down. Let him destroy the 381 00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.119 Department of Education. I don't have any kids in school, truly, 382 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:40.920 let them destroy the EPA. We're not gonna stop climate 383 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.920 change in my lifetime, and it's gonna get exponentially worse. 384 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:48.920 That's just that that ship has sailed. We're going to 385 00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:53.519 die in record numbers from climate change. Article today just 386 00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:57.759 said the drought in the West definitely attributed to climate change. Well, 387 00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:03.799 no shit. And Biden didn't make huge steps on climate change. 388 00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.480 He didn't put an end to fossil fuel, which is 389 00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:09.799 what needs to be done. He didn't reduce our meat 390 00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:13.160 consumption by fifty to eighty percent, which needs to be done. 391 00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:17.880 There's not a high speed rail going all across the 392 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.680 country in every state. Everything which needs to be done, 393 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:25.839 there's been no great They're touting this high speed train 394 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.440 from Vegas to California as part of their infrastructure win. 395 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.799 What do you mean it's gonna stop in Rancho Cucamonga, 396 00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:35.680 it's not even going to LA. It's gonna be four 397 00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:38.359 hundred dollars round trip, so no one's gonna ride it. 398 00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:44.440 So what great accomplishment is that now they're building a 399 00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.960 high speed rail from LA to San Francisco. We should 400 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:51.440 have had that thirty years ago. But what we have excuses. 401 00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:56.079
