What technical and opening show issues set the tone for today's episode?
Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Hot Topics. And it is not me today. There is some issue going on with the interwebs. I don't know. I also think it's Andy. Andy's on CP time today because Andy's computer crashed.
Yeah, sorry. I don't know. Everything just went gray. I couldn't click anything in StreamYard and I had to restart.
You had to restart the whole thing? I had to restart Chrome. Oh my gosh. What are we gonna do with Andy? So anyways, good morning, everybody. Welcome to the show. How are you guys? Let me know where you're streaming from. Someone said Tuesdays. I know, it feels like a Monday because nothing was working. I was like, I can't get my YouTube to work. I can't message the Lemonheads. I don't know what's going on. Is anybody else having trouble with Google or Chrome? Because that's where we are right now. So welcome to the program, everybody. Lafayette, Louisiana. Someone's here. Atlanta is here from Mississippi. Pasadena, Maryland. I've never heard of Pasadena, Maryland. South Chicago, Tennessee. Yeah. So glad you guys are here.
Sorry we're a little bit late. Hello, New Jersey. Cheryl Jones. Hello, Chicago. Hello, Josie. Okay. Here's a weird thing. This administration is they're not even hiding it anymore. They're just telling you, look, we are going to be racist and towards anybody other than white people. Right. That is where we are right now. That is the God's honest truth. And by the way, just one more. I want to give one more shout out to the Biden family because I think they went through unnecessary things. And they're undergoing or going through unnecessary grief right now with so many people attacking them, considering the man has prostate cancer and the family's going through a lot of stuff. And people seem to have their priorities all screwed up, all wrong about where it should be placed on someone who is not in the White House right now, not a public servant anymore, spent his life being a public servant and fighting.
For justice and doing the best that he could under some horrific circumstances. When you think about Joe Biden, how long he has been around, you know, the things that he had to deal with. He had to work with segregationists. I think, Peter, you sent me that quote last night. It's from a book saying, you know, talking about how the Democratic elite. were yelling at Joe Biden because he said in a book or somewhere that he had to work with segregationists. And then Black people were like, of course, if you were in the South in that time, you had to work with segregationists to get shit done.
Yeah, do you want me to read the quote quickly?
Yeah, we have the quote somewhere. I don't know if we can find it.
I have it. It's, quote, I remember vividly a focus group we did with Black voters in South Carolina in late June and early July of 2019. Biden was being attacked by the left elite of the party for saying he had worked with segregationists in his time in the Senate. Despite what the left, despite what progressives were saying, Black primary voters were in South Carolina felt that Biden's work with segregationists was another good reason to support him for president. As participants in his focus group pointed out, if you were black and lived in the South under Jim Crow, you too had to work with segregationists. While the Democrats' ecosystem was criticizing Biden for an action, actual voters in key places were praising him for the exact same thing.
And I feel that, thank you, Peter, for that. I feel the same way about what's happening now. When I told you about everyone said, oh, Biden was this, Biden was that. Biden, okay, Biden's an old man. Okay. One day you're going to be an old man if you're lucky enough or an old woman. One day you will be if you're lucky enough. And all of those people who are criticizing Joe Biden or whatever, what have you spent your life doing? What kind of public service have you spent your life doing? How have you helped the American economy? How have you helped the American people? What have you done? How much tragedy have you gone through considering?
