- 0:23Speaker 2: for her third term in the US Senate, and her
- 0:26Speaker 2: husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand during his

- 0:59Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Damn if you couldn't really hear what happened, you know
- 1:06Speaker 2: she was telling her telling Bruce, I don't bite. That's
- 1:10Speaker 2: what the vpple saying, I don't bite, before he refused
- 1:14Speaker 2: to shake her hand. Now, let the record show I
- 1:16Speaker 2: am big on consistency. So it's a part of me
- 1:18Speaker 2: that applauds what Bruce Fisher, did I set a part
- 1:21Speaker 2: of me? Okay? Unlike a lot of you digital d heads,
- 1:23Speaker 2: I am able to see the whole totality of a
- 1:25Speaker 2: situation and not just what I agree with. See to me,
- 1:29Speaker 2: it's incredible that Democrats are playing so nice after all
- 1:32Speaker 2: the talk of Trump being in the democracy, okay, Trump
- 1:34Speaker 2: being a fascist. It's like they're not keeping the same
- 1:37Speaker 2: energy at all. Democrats, they're talking about peaceful transfers of power.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Listen to the VP speak on it.
- 1:43Speaker 4: The peaceful transfer of power is one of the most
- 1:45Speaker 4: fundamental principles of American democracy. As much as any other principle.
- 1:50Speaker 4: It is what distinguishes our system of government from monarchy
- 1:55Speaker 4: or tyranny. Today, at the United States Capitol, I will
- 1:58Speaker 4: perform my constitution duty as Vice President of the United
- 2:02Speaker 4: States to certify the results of the twenty twenty four election.
- 2:06Speaker 4: This duty is a sacred obligation one I will uphold,
- 2:10Speaker 4: guided by love of country, loyalty to our Constitution, and
- 2:16Speaker 4: my unwavering faith in the American people.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Look, I'm all for the peaceful transfer of power, but
- 2:22Speaker 2: Democrats keep following these political norms and traditions, and it's confusing.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Because you can't call a man a fascist and a dictator.
- 2:29Speaker 2: But when he win, throws all that rhetoric out the window, unless,
- 2:32Speaker 2: of course, it was just politics and you never believed it.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I've told you all this already. Yes, I've called Trump
- 2:36Speaker 2: of fascists, not because of anything Democrats said, but because
- 2:38Speaker 2: of the words I've heard come out of Trump's mouth.
- 2:40Speaker 2: But it's almost like Democrats don't realize how they screw
- 2:44Speaker 2: themselves for the future because the midterms are right around
- 2:47Speaker 2: the corner. The only thing they can hope for is
- 2:49Speaker 2: that Republicans implode and thing's up so bad that the
- 2:51Speaker 2: American people are just dying for a change, because there
- 2:54Speaker 2: is nothing Democrats can say about Republicans that we should
- 2:57Speaker 2: believe after they spend weeks calling trumpet fascis and calling
- 3:00Speaker 2: Republicans fascists and telling us it would be the end
- 3:03Speaker 2: of democracy, only to put a button on all of that. Meanwhile,
- 3:06Speaker 2: Republicans like Bruce Fisher, they keeping that same energy. Okay,
- 3:10Speaker 2: he didn't shake the VPS and simply because he doesn't
- 3:13Speaker 2: like her. Our Democrats, period, they draw clear lines in
- 3:17Speaker 2: the sand. They signal to their base every time they
- 3:20Speaker 2: don't like democrats. Democrats are terrible and not worthy of
- 3:23Speaker 2: any respect. Nonetheless, your vote and the fact that the
- 3:28Speaker 2: VP happens to be a woman and a woman of color,
- 3:31Speaker 2: or you get extra points from your base for that.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:33Speaker 2: See, Republicans are already thinking about the future, They thinking
- 3:35Speaker 2: about the midterms, they thinking about twenty twenty eight. It
- 3:38Speaker 2: is a clear us versus them mentality, and the way
- 3:42Speaker 2: Republicans treat dims is how Dems should be treating Republicans,
- 3:46Speaker 2: especially if you're telling us that they threatened the democracy,
- 3:49Speaker 2: especially if you're saying their leader is a fascist. Why
- 3:51Speaker 2: would you want to shake hands with those folks, and
- 3:54Speaker 2: why would Republicans want to shake hands with you? Okay,
- 3:57Speaker 2: if that's how you spend your time talking about them,
- 4:01Speaker 2: I get it. But Bruce, here's the thing. It wasn't
- 4:04Speaker 2: about you. Okay, it's your wife's day. If your wife
- 4:07Speaker 2: has to nudge you and tell you to stand closer
- 4:10Speaker 2: to the VP, basically just nudging you to show some respect,
- 4:13Speaker 2: you should show that respect because your wife is a senator,
- 4:17Speaker 2: and your wife, as a senator, understands democracy. She actually
- 4:22Speaker 2: posted photos of the event and pledged to continue to
- 4:25Speaker 2: stand together Bruce, you should follow your wife's lead. Listen
- 4:28Speaker 2: to her, because, whether you realize it or not, you
- 4:31Speaker 2: stepped all over her moment. Please let Chelsea handle give
- 4:34Speaker 2: Bruce Fisher the biggest.
- 4:35Speaker 4: He haw hee haw hee haw That is way too much.

- 5:04Speaker 1: I had to take a step back for a second
- 5:05Speaker 1: and say, how petty is this light skinned person? Right?

- 5:16Speaker 1: to this day. If they walk up with me with
- 5:18Speaker 1: the Bible in their hand and I am not shaking
- 5:21Speaker 1: their hand, I might not shake that person because if
- 5:23Speaker 1: I don't effort you. No, if I don't effort you,
- 5:25Speaker 1: I don't effort you. I don't care what you got
- 5:27Speaker 1: in your hand, what you're talking about now. But if
- 5:28Speaker 1: I don't effort you, you did some f ish to me.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I ain't shaking your hand.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Now.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question just before we go
- 5:34Speaker 1: to the phone lines eight hundred five eight five one
- 5:36Speaker 1: five one. If you don't mess with somebody and they
- 5:38Speaker 1: stick their hand out to shake your hand, even if

- 6:04Speaker 2: keep that same energy. Okay, if I don't like you,
- 6:07Speaker 2: if I don't like the democrats. I'm gonna draw a
- 6:09Speaker 2: clear line in the sand and let people know that
- 6:12Speaker 2: I actually think democrats should be the way Democrats have
- 6:15Speaker 2: spoken about Republicans, that's how they should be treating Republicans.
- 6:18Speaker 2: But no, they want to be you know. They they
- 6:21Speaker 2: want to do the things the right way and be
- 6:23Speaker 2: all about traditions and norms, and that's why you lose elections.
