WEBVTT - Whose Mans is This?! 0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.360 If I'm being transparent, I need to give credit where 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.920 credit is due. This credit is due to New York. 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:13.080 Now normally, you know, I believe the West, but you know, 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.959 not a hater. That being said, I do think and 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.800 I believe New Yorkers would appreciate and believe the same. 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.239 Like sometimes I've been thinking, man, y'all hella extra just 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:27.240 every alli y'all slanging, it's just actually dead ass, Like 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.320 why y'all all sounds so aggressive?

Like fam, why are you screaming? 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.800 Or I just think it's a loud city, So I guess, 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.760 like and your son marks you know back in the Yeah, 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.280 your son, Yeah, you're done and your son done?

Just unnecessarily aggressive like happy sad, 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.319 it don't matter. And if you've ever been up to 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.600 Washington Heights, I want to blow my homegirls through lakey 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.920 uh and the hommy Rich Perez and some other hommies. Uh. 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:13.560 I didn't get to go to Alex, but I know 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.880 my dog Alex Medina, he works over at spring Hill, 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.000 is an incredible artist, Like designer. Um now you're from 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:24.120 wash Heights and I needed to confirm that I wasn't tripping, 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.960 But I was like, who, I just feel like this 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:34.039 entire city area culture it's just y'all crank the gain 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.199 way up to forty five. Just I was like, why 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.560 is you go into a restaurant and I'm like, I 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.560 can't talk over the music. It's so loud in here. 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.319 It's four in the morning, you're on the you're on 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.920 the stupid a hooka pipe. It's just so why is 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.560 everything so loud? I was like, yo, y'all got no 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:03.559 They were like, yo, that ass, Yo, that ass New 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:09.200 York man. I love it. But anyway, that being said, 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.880 there is a phrase that they gave us that Honestly, 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.320 I think there's like regional variations of the same sort 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:21.600 of idea and and phrase that is perfect for this 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.600 two parter of hoo politics here because it's there's two 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.840 people that call for this, And honestly, I also think 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:33.680 that the New York version is really the best suited. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.960 It's almost like you have to turn on a New 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.880 York accent when you say this, because it's just it's 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.440 just so perfect. And the phrase is this Yo, Who's 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:51.799 man is this? Hood Politics? Y'all? Who's man is this? 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:57.560 Who's man is this? Who's man is this? Whose man 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.760 is this? All right? Welcome man? And my voice a 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.320 little raspy. I uh. I started giving myself a more 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:09.280 regulated schedule, so I record politics episodes on Mondays, um, 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:13.800 But usually the first Sunday of every month is the 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.959 event I host called Club Real Ones out in Long Beach, 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:21.560 So probably once every month, I'm gonna have a really 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.560 raspy voice when it's time to record this podcast because 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:28.239 it's the day after and I'm really tired and I've 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:32.200 been screaming on a mic over DJ's UM for good 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.400 four hours. If you're in l A area, you know 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.640 we're even Orange County, you know you cally you should 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.680 pull up on us one day. It's a very fun time. 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.000 You get to see me in a different light. Rapper prop, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:47.040 not podcast or prop, but yo, whose man's is this? Now? 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.200 Here's the thought. Let me see if I can tie this. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.280 And for people who have, like who couldn't already figure 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.400 this out? A lot of y'all probably already figured this 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.320 out as far as like what we mean by that 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.040 when you shout like Yo, whose man's is this you're 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.480 talking to? And you can apply it to other people, 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.400 you know what I'm saying, But generally you're talking to 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.160 the people you know. Like if you picture the scenario, 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.240 we're at a kickback, you know, you with the hommies 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:21.880 and someone says some really extra dumbass ship or is 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:26.240 doing things that are clearly out of pocket. It's like 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.880 or making some like super wild takes, just just stuff 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.960 that like all of us know better. The thought is, 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.120 I don't know who this guy is, Like why are 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.839 you even here? So you're trying to figure out, like 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:46.799 who invited this dude? And can you come get your boy? 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:51.279 Because he wild? Y'all? Whose man's is this? Like who 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:56.000 who brought him here? So it's almost like y'all are responsible? 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:01.359 Whoever brought him here is responsible for this extra wild 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:08.240 dumbass stuff he's doing right now? This unnecessary? Why is 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.039 this going down right now? Yo? Whose man? Who mans 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.400 is this? And it's like because the stuff that they're 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.600 doing is so extra out of pocket, I can't even 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.920 address them directly. One I don't even know him, you know, 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.640 I don't even notice for like, uh, you don't even 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.560 go here? You know what I'm saying, like, who is 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:31.440 who are you? You know, I'll tell your story one 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.599 of my home he's telling me about he had some 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.080 friends from New York that, uh, it's so funny like Harlem, 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.760 like so so much New York stuff. Now Harlem, you 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:45.440 have to remember Harlem is also out here a gang. 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.000 You know. It's not just at Borough in New York. 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.520 But if you're from Harlem, you wouldn't know that. So 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.680 essentially his friends were like following some girls, you know, 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.760 and ended up at this party out in Inglewood. As 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.160 a rule of thumb, you're gonna end up if you're 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.520 gonna go to some like kick back or some party 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.320 or something, you're gonna end up like a house for 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.720 full of full of blood, you know, because that's just 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.120 that's who's over there. They're not the only people over there. 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.599 But it's a safe bet. You know that you could 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.400 be a rule full of blood. And if the dice 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.760 can't kicking off you from New York, you know how 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.640 to shoot dice, right, And the truth is you're probably 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.920 really good at it. Now. Of course it's a game 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.080 of chance, you know what I'm saying. But if you 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.800 had a party, you don't know nobody except for some 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.560 girl you're following, which is already strike one because she 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.960 couldn't been getting you set up, So that's number one. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.560 What is you even doing here? There? Baby? Some dude 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:47.520 there that thinks she is his girl, even if they're not, 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.760 it don't matter. Can be following some girl into this 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.640 kick back in a city you're not from, in a 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.640 part of town that you're not familiar with. This is 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.120 just you should not do this. But if you understand 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.000 New York culture, how parties are like that, you just 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.000 pull up, you throw hours party, throw the jam people. 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.960 Just you're just there, right, that's that's not callie. We 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.200 don't you're not welcoming in if we won't know you. You 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.800 You need this who you know? Who you got over here? 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.760 Who brought you? Like, all this stuff needs to be 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.280 cleared first because we don't know if you're setting us 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.520 up anyway. So he's so he in the dice game 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:23.760 and he messed around, start winning. So now Foods is 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.520 upset because he winning and he taking all these dudes money. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.480 So eventually somebody stepped back. It was like, wait, hold on, 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.320 hold on, hold up, hey, who know blood right? Because 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.120 they're like, okay, first of all, we tired at you winning, 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.400 but like hey blood, like hey, who know blood? And 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:43.200 if he's like, uh, I came with some and say 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.640 they're like you came with who if that's not even 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.280 her house? And then that now they now they said, hey, 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.560 where are you from? And they're like, yo, we're from Harlem. 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:57.080 Now them not knowing that Harlem is also a gang. 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:02.240 Now they're turning up right, and I'm just like, oh, bor, 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.640 like so now they now they're really banging on because 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.720 you like, do who are you? What did you doing here? 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.320 You can't be coming in here and just messing up 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.280 the vibe. So then he was it was like, yo, man, 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.160 I don't funk with New York and they're like New York. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.720 He's like, yeah, the borough Harlem, New York. And they 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.920 were like, oh man, we thought you was soda. They 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:25.800 told him. But I have to say, you know, it's like, 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.560 oh man, no, you know Harlem hood out here, like 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.840 y'all can't be doing it. So okay, so you just 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.240 visiting from out of town. Okay, that's different. They still 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.080 have to run their pocket, but at least they're gonna 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.320 like tell them hey, nah, homie, Like, this's not you 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.280 can't just do that out here. This is different, you know, 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.880 this is this. But the point is they gotta hit 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.000 with the California version of like hey who know blood? 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.640 Or hey who know cause he who brought us? Like 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.800 you know, and if somebody don't answer quickly like you 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.440 feel of be in trouble and listen, don't let the 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.679 media fool you. We're not animals, man. In the scenario 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.800 I'm presenting to y'all, like, hear what I'm trying to say, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:07.600 You're gonna check first, like and then if it's a misunderstanding, 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:12.600 it's just a misunderstanding. We're not not animals, you know, 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.600 So don't don't don't let them. Now that being said, 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.320 if you're from the era I'm from, every time I 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.440 hear somebody get on the TV and talk about the 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:27.400 crime rate, I'm like, oh, no, fam it is Listen, y'all. 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:32.599 Don't forgot the nineties and eighties. Now. I was a 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.760 child in a baby and eighties, so I don't know, no, no, no, 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.120 you know what I'm saying. But like the thing is, 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.480 and it was crazy, is like the data does play 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.640 out that like crime is going up, but overall it's down. 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:49.920 It's still less than what I know I lived through, 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:57.480 like the numbers and just the sheer feel of see 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.400 it like where I live. If ain't no way I 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.840 should be able to just stand outside and water my 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:12.040 grass like that's just normal stuff like that, like it 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.800 during my childhood. Ain't no way, you know, we just 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.800 you would not just go play outside as a child, 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:24.960 fam you just but it's different, you know it's not. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:30.160 It's not what it was anyway. I'm sidetracked here. The 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.040 point is where whose mans is this is? Nobody understands 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.440 your actions right now. This don't make no sense. You 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:40.680 ain't supposed to be here right now. That's it's origin story. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:45.840 Now as it evolved, you could usually pull that card 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.520 when anybody is just doing something like out of pocket. 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.400 You're just looking like, yo, whose hands is this? What 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:55.840 is we doing now? A less violent version of this, 0:10:55.960 --> 0:11:01.440 I think is the guy in the club. But kay, listen, 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.040 the brother in the club that got too much cologne 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.720 on Kay, it just got the alcohol breath with too 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.920 much cologne. All this coil closes designer, but their fake 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:16.120 designer who just pushing up on every girl. You know 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.800 you're running all the all the cute girls off because 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.760 you're being too much. At some point you're gonna look 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.319 at the creps like, yo, who's man's is this? Dog? Like? Yo? 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.400 You you okay? You ruined everybody's play right now? Like 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.800 and you just taking els, just continual els, and you're 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.439 causing the rest of us to take els. Somebody did, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:39.640 somebody go get your boy? Right? But nobody puts up 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:49.840 worse numbers. No one does. Then the where's my hug? Guy? 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:55.680 The ladies rocked up. He's like, hey, where's my hug? Like, Bro, 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.720 that don't work. You're whose man is? This is asking 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.360 all the girls where's hug at? You lose that ten 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:10.480 out of ten elves? You're putting up numbers. You're making 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.439 the whole squad look ridiculous. Tom I, Hey, hey, baby girl, 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:19.959 wear my hug at Nick. If you don't, don't sit 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:26.920 down somewhere now, maybe after fifteen shots, maybe the sixteenth 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.720 might work and you might get a hug. But big dog, 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.440 you can't keep putting up these els like this. This 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.560 is bad for everybody. When is you gonna get the 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:43.240 picture taste? So Kevin McCarthy was putting up to where's 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:49.760 my hug guy numbers, Yo, whose man's is this? Let's 0:12:49.760 --> 0:13:19.160 talk about it. Who's man is this, y y'all? This 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:24.520 man is this, y'all? Who's mass is this? Y'all? Who's 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.199 is this? All right, we're back now. Sometimes sometimes it 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.120 be your own people, okay, sometimes it be your own 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.400 squad that'd be messing you up. Now, in Kevin's situation, 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:39.320 it might have been like that. Now. Sometimes it's a 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:43.439 good thing that you have homies that will be like, boy, 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.160 if you don't sit down somewhere and shut your ass 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.520 up like sometimes you need a friend. I don't know 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.520 if y'all saw that clip for that boy leaning over 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.200 in the Matt Gates's ear, like leaning all close, and 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:58.280 I was like, Yo, I'm picturing like gritted like mama, 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:03.640 gritted teeth, just trunking you don't shut the funk up 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:08.079 and get the lock it up and squaring. Do you 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:09.839 know I'm saying. Somebody was like, come get your mass. 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.400 But yeah, sometimes you know hung me like that that 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.000 is wise enough to be like, hey, go get your boy. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.120 And then when you go get yo, whose man is 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:20.880 this you? Like? That's my boy? Man? I'm sorry, y'all. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.040 And then that boy put his arm around you and say, 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.520 nig if you don't shut the funk up, dog like, 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.080 you need to chill, just just just hold this hell 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:37.440 sit down somewhere. So in some senses you do need that, right, 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.240 But then sometimes you got homies that just want to 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:44.280 see the world burn that might just be throwing shade 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.880 at you, you know, kind of kind of taring up 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:53.960 your game just because they don't like you. Maybe they 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.800 think you're not the man for the job. And for 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.160 whatever reason, they may not got no plan B. They 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:00.680 just think you ain't the man and for the job. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:06.440 And and it'd be your own people at that right there, 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:12.720 if it'd be your own people, I'm sorry. This is 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:18.200 like watching this vote for the Speaker of the House. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.040 Was It just sparked all these memories right here, like yo, 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.960 this guy is to where am I? You just taking elves? 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:32.160 And then why are you taking these elves? Is your 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:38.920 own people? Yeah, I gotta get your ship together there, man, Like, 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.120 but you might be looking around, if you really into 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.960 politics like this, you might be looking around at a 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.960 bunch of think pieces that have like, no, you don't 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:55.840 understand this is moved from funny to a serious problem. 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.160 So what I'm gonna cover for the rest of this 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.840 show is first of all, what happened and what are 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:06.200 the protocols, like why did this happen? And what its 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.160 implications are as far as like predictions as to like 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.080 is this bad or good? Is this assigned for the future, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.240 all that good stuff. So let's let's let's get into it. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.960 So here's the thing. Last year, I think it was 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.720 last year, Well, yeah it was because it's Nancy Pelosi 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:27.680 stepped down as Speaker of the House and civics one 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.320 on one, right, So you got three branches of government, 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.840 but the legislative branch got two parts. It's got the 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.840 Senate and the House of Representatives. Right, there's two senators 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:43.920 per state, right, and then there's Congressmen that are represent 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.600 certain districts, and I think there's four and fifty of those. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:52.040 The point is there's a lot more congress people than 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.080 senators because each state only has two senators. Anyway, the 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.160 Senate leaders the Senate, the Senate team captains are your 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:04.760 Senate Majority leader and your Senate Minority leader. Right, they're senators. 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.760 That's a different thing. The House Speaker of the House 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.520 is about the House of representatives. You follow me those 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.520 this for Congress, but you need a speaker who is, 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.080 in case of an emergency, the third in command. So 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.800 if we lose the president, vice president takes over. You 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:29.360 lose the vice president, the speaker of the House takes over, right. 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.520 And also the thing about this position is like, yo, 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.080 you gotta be like super respected by your peers, even 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.440 if they don't like you, they gotta be like you 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.480 gotta be such a g and be able to like 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.480 really really get it done because your team captain in 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:44.679 a lot of ways, a lot of ways, you can 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.320 look at it like that this is a team captain 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:50.120 and like of of this squad, Like you gotta know 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:54.920 how to like really get the stuff together, get people 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.080 that really disagree with each other and people that actually 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.600 really disagree with you from both sides of the aisle. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.359 You may have people in your own party that's like 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.880 which we just witnessed, that really don't mess with you, 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.960 but they have to respect your gangster so much and 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.880 understand how this thing works. Like, so you really got 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.440 to be a boss. Like in some ways, you really 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.240 got to be a boss. And even if you're not 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:21.399 like legit a boss, you have to like present in 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:26.320 a way that says you really might be next you know, 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.400 either you elect either you a legacy fool to where 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:33.240 it's like my my certification is already so so so 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.880 stamped because I'm good in so many different places that 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:39.920 when I come into the room, I can make sure 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.199 everything even if that's not my hood. Like they respect 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.159 me enough, you know what I'm saying. They're cool with 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:45.600 me enough that they're like, all right, you know what 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.840 I'm saying, Like, we'll listen whatever you got to say. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.879 You feel me, uh, and I'm able to go back, 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:52.600 you know what I'm saying, and and in and and 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.560 in my own squad. They love me so much, you 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.880 know what I'm saying that I I can. You gotta 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:58.600 be really be able to get stuff done. You gotta 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:03.680 be like really really respected or like I said, it's 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.880 got to be a calculation to where like I need 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:07.639 to stay on your good side because you might be 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.439 you might be going up like real soon as a 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:14.920 Speaker of the House. It's a very important position. Now 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.359 you think of somebody like I've used this example before, 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.800 like Mitch McConnell, who's like, yo, he's been like you know, 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.280 Senate majority leader sent a minority leader, which is not 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.440 the Speaker of the House. But it's a like I 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.520 told you before, like his position is such a position 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.240 of power. It's such a like sifth lord position in 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:37.320 the sense that I don't have all the drama that 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:40.040 like the president or the Speaker have, but I could 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:44.160 get stuff done in a way that like without needing 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.919 all of the drama. It's like being able to be 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:51.960 like an A list celebrity without TMZ or like, uh, 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.720 you know, tabloids, but you're an A list superstar, you 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:59.119 know what I'm saying, Uh Billie Eilish level, you know, 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.679 beyond say bad Bunny level. But you can still just 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.280 go to a grocery store, you know, you can still 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:07.800 just pick up your your kids. You know. Like that's 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:12.600 the type of position that like Mitch has, and in 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:16.000 some ways the Speaker could kind of be like that 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:20.480 but also have enough star power to where when you 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.639 decide to come out and be like, yo, I'm gonna 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.399 run for president, you got the respect of your colleagues, 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.320 or at least the fear of your colleagues, and you 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:31.640 could jump on. So it's a big position to get 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:36.080 because one it's a stepping stone if you want to 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.400 go further, if you don't want to go further. It's 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:44.359 really a position of immense power. So it's it's coveted now. So, 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:48.560 as I mentioned before, Nancy Pelosi was the speaker form 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:54.400 some January to January right for that session of Congress. 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.879 Before that, it was Paul Ryan. Um. I don't know 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:58.479 if you remember his name, and he was like one 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:00.159 of those dudes I was creeping on a come up, 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.240 you know. Uh. So from two thousand seventeen to two 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:07.760 thousand nineteen, Paul Ryan was uh and you know, basically 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.240 Trump kind of ended his career. Before that, it was 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:13.760 Speaker Bayner, Um, John Bayner. You know, that was two 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:18.359 thousand thirteen and fifteen for that. Look, Nancy, it was 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.960 two thousand nine and then before that like Dennis Hazarded 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.320 and then back to like nud Gingrich back in the nineties, 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.600 which was again so if you look at like some 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:29.959 of these names, like these names were like yo, these 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.359 were big names, you feel me. Like Paul Ryan like 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.800 for the Republicans as it were, was like yo, he 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.560 was a young, little up shot right until like I said, 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.879 until you know, Trump broke the Republicans, you know, uh, 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:43.760 I mean it was it was Fishers already there, but 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.440 like the man broke them, you know. So uh, Paul 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:50.399 Ryan lost any opportunity because he was you know, he 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.239 didn't know what to do with somebody like you know, 0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:54.840 and it just it broke him. And as you see, 0:21:54.920 --> 0:22:01.040 Nancy got elected twice. Now, say what you will about her, 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:02.960 but that what that means is like the respect of 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:05.199 her peers is like really up there, like they know, 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:11.800 like her kind of strange, eccentric, super old head ass, 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.919 like they respect their gangster, you know, whether they like 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:19.439 or not. It's like, look, man, she do what she do. 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:22.000 And it's easy for me to criticize any of these 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:26.000 people from sitting here in my um in my office, 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:29.880 you know, with my bonnet still on cover, in my air, 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:33.320 you feel me. But their jobs, like you know, as 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:35.760 much as I dragged them, their jobs is really hard. 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:38.880 But the way that our democracy is set up, I'm 0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:42.399 allowed to drag them. I'm allowed to call these fools 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:44.680 because again, like DJ Head said, like y'all watch it, 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:47.840 I fun with you. You You know, you're gonna have all 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:53.400 this power and authority you need to like show improved anyway. Now, 0:22:53.600 --> 0:23:01.240 generally it's a no brainer with whoever party has the majority, 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:07.240 the speaker is from your party. Right now, as absurd 0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:12.240 as our two party system is because clearly there's four 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:18.880 parties up there, right you have you know, traditional centrist Democrats, 0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:22.800 which are like Republican light you know, and then you 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:29.679 have progressive Democrats, and then you have the Republican Party, 0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:32.960 which is just the run of the mill, wonderbread, white 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:39.400 bread Republican, and then you have cuckoo for coco posts Republicans. Yes, 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.480 that's what I said, because I don't know what the 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:46.520 hell some of y'all be talking about, Like this is absurd. Listen, okay, listen, dude, 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:48.840 Q and on is not real. And the fact that 0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.400 like something, I just don't know what the hell else 0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:53.359 to tell you, the fact that we don't elected people 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.800 that is down for the calls. It's like, look, I 0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.240 don't know what to tip. My homeboy, Darren dun came 0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:02.120 over and he said it it was an interesting thing 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:05.280 to say. He was like, look, if I revote Republican 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:07.320 and let's just say I'm in the front of the line, 0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:09.800 I have to look at the back of the line 0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:14.119 that I'm standing in and see the clan, you know, 0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:17.640 it'd be like, uh, they're in the line that I'm in, 0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:22.040 you know. So he's like, I just this is what 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:25.680 just because we're in a two party system, that's part 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:29.119 of the situation. I said that about, you know, a 0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:32.480 long time ago, about having like, you know, extremely gangster, 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:36.119 extremely violent cousins where I'm like, I know we share 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:39.520 the same grandmother and that's I'm not gonna ever not 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:44.760 ride for my family. But yo, like it, I don't 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:46.520 know what to say. Man, that's the end of the 0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:50.439
