um all right deported father dear billy justice uh two and a half years ago my
father was deported
to mexico he had been in the u.s since 1978 since he was 13 my family struggled
without him
financially and emotionally it's been very rough it must have been brutal he's
healthy
and not dead but he can't be with us yeah that's gotta oh man that's fucking
brutal it's been very
frustrating and words can't describe it uh i'm getting married in a few weeks
and he wasn't able
to be at the wedding every day i see people criticize trump and can agree with
their reasons
for doing so but my father was deported under obama my family knows three other
people who were also
deported under obama my white friends think they're good people because they
liked obama but never looked
to see what was happening um they didn't care then but they care now it makes
me feel very mad
because it feels insincere and lazy as a white man who seems fairly progressive
can you tell me why
this is what would you suggest i say to them it's an emotional thing for me so
it's hard to choose the
right words congrats on your child i have two nieces and it's really the
greatest thing to watch them
grow uh thank you um what can you say to them oh it depends on how open-minded
they are
um people who are really into politics which means they 100 watch cnn or fox
news all fucking day as
if they're getting some sort of fair and unbiased news feed you really can't
say anything to either one
of them um i mean they're a lot like sports fans where uh i try to see you know
i try to the best i can
to see both like i can legitimately be happy for eagles fans you know what i
mean i can legitimately look
at fucking derrick jeter and say that guy's fucking great and i can set aside
my hatred of the yankees
or am i wanting for my team to beat the eagles yesterday but um you know it
took me a long time
to get there um so i don't know i mean knowing the way i was wired i would just
walk right up to him
and be you know just so you know your fucking angel there obama you know who
for some reason gets no
shit whatsoever i mean it probably doesn't hurt that he went that his
presidency was between two of the
fucking two of the biggest fucking dipshits i've ever seen this fucking did i
say dipshit i haven't
said that because i was trying to think over the fucking word i could say and
not be too fucking
offensive and think that i'm a fucking lefty here 100 which you know most of
the times i am but i mean
you know you can't fool me sometimes you're not gonna fool me again went after
that and then this guy
who fucking tweets all the time and then before that you had a guy shoving cigars
and it's been
people's twats i mean i'll tell you know it's been really rough since the first
george bush who actually
had the you know when we we pushed uh saddam out of kuwait didn't go into iraq
and was was strong
enough to push back against the corporation say hey look this is not what we
were doing over here
we accomplished our mission and we're going home that's it you know so it's
been a long time so i
think that there's a uh there's a thing with obama at least he wasn't bush or
trump uh kind of thing
so that people have a hard time seeing him and i think he gets handled with
kids gloves in the media
you know what i mean they they you know every image of him he's like kayaking
or playing highlight
and all of this like the joke i was doing in my act like it looks like an erectile
dysfunction ad
and they're really kind of ignoring that that guy for all the hope that he said
and everything and i
know that that job is you know well i don't know like literally no but i i
understand that it's an
incredibly difficult job and they always say if you can get one thing done
which he did he did get obamacare
through so i guess it was uh an achievement but i have to tell you as someone
who does lean left
to watch him go on tour now with 70 million dollars of tour dates to go talk to
a bunch of bankers and
corporations you know and all of that and and just i don't know just it's as
far as the way i read
that that's just those corporations washing their bribe money like we got you
in office you did what we
wanted you to do now come talk to us for an hour and we'll give you a nice six-figure
paycheck
and we'll all do it and then you can be worth over a hundred million dollars
like the clintons
like the bushes and all like it's so up that none of them get called out on
that it's like
the bushes the clintons the obamas it's like you guys dedicated your life to
public service
and the presidency is the highest paying job which now is like a half a million
dollars a year if you
do two terms you're gonna gross tops you go what is that 500 times eight what
is that that's four
million bucks and somehow they they all they're buying giant houses and they
all end up being worth
nine figures um and everybody just looks the other way i don't know so
i i maybe it maybe there's someone within your group that is understanding
enough and can see both
sides of that you know like if i said what i just said about obama to a trump
person they would be like
they would be going bananas but then if i even remotely suggested that trump
seemed a little
emotionally unstable and that it's he's really doing the country a disservice
to be tweeting and
arguing with people on social media like a seventh grade girl i don't even
respond to people on twitter
when it comes occasionally i do but this is supposed to be the leader of the
free world
trying to get a trump supporter to admit to how pathetic and embarrassing that
is i mean that's just
kind of the world that we're in right now but maybe one of those obama
supporters maybe you could um
you know i don't know but then also we live in such a up world i'm gonna
believe
that you're actually mexican and you wrote this and that you're not some white
person that wrote this
shit because they hate obama i have no idea you never know there's no way for
me to vet
so um if what you just said was true uh that is horrific and i understand what
you're saying
uh about obama because you know i think the best thing he had was he could
deliver his speech better
than bush or trump but uh at the end of the day even though the you know the
needle kind of leaned
more left when he was in office the ship stayed on course if you know what i'm
saying um
not what i'm right right now i want that guy from reno to come walking into my
room here hey show a little
little respect
