1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Call zone media. All right, there's some game I'm finna 2 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: give y'all that's gonna sound considerably more cynical than it 3 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: needs to. But honestly, as people of color, someone like 4 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: myself who comes from now see, I know a lot 5 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: of y'all got evangelical baggage. I just don't come from that. 6 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: We come from inner city church that has a liberation 7 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: theology tone. And whether you come from Now or even 8 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: come from like the FOI or you know, the Nation 9 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: of Islam, the gods and the arts, the fire for centers, 10 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: there is a resilience that exists inside of suffering people. 11 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna speak specifically as a black man, an 12 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: African American slave descendant black man in America. You can 13 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: add my socioeconomic to it, which obviously you know, intersections matter, 14 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: so you which is why we should teach you critical 15 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: race theory and intersectionality. All that stuff matters. But at 16 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: the end of the day, there's nothing more important than 17 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: the program. Now that can be interpreted many ways depending 18 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: on how much of your levels of the streets that 19 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: you in. When they talk about the program, you know, 20 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: oftentimes if you, I mean, if you cripping, they mean 21 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: like the gang, Like what we are doing as a 22 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: gang is the most important thing, more important your family, 23 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: your children, your everything. That's what they mean by the program. 24 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes we mean programming. Again, depending on how outside you are, 25 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: you might be talking about like doing your uh burpies. 26 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: You feel me like you outside, you know, making sure 27 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: you take it care of yourself. You stay on the program, 28 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: you out your programming, making sure you working out every day. 29 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: Nothing more important than the program. But it comes from 30 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: a resilience that the profit of the Westside Roland sixties 31 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: gave us, the stance that has continued to be a 32 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: rallying cry that is really just again a continuation of 33 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: our forefathers, our fore mothers. You know, whether it's soon 34 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: our rise, we shall overcome. What he says is the 35 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: marathon continues. Hood politics, y'all? All right, y'all post election 36 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: thoughts now by this being Wednesday, meaning if you're listening 37 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: to this today, it dropped. It's been a whole week 38 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: and a day since we found out that Donald Trump's 39 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: getting his electric boogloo. And as him getting his electric boogaloo, 40 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: I think that I can probably guess that there is 41 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: of the listeners on this show, y'all probably fall into 42 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: what I'm guessing is one of three categories. One of 43 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: you are deeply disappointed because you know you fell into 44 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: the liberal or where we are as pretty much a 45 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: team you know with cool zone either leftists or anarchists, 46 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: or like where you know I'm personally at, which is 47 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: like we need to go back to indigenous practices because 48 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, just putting a dude 49 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: in charge has yet to work. I'm going, like, I'm 50 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: going like terror for my fam like over because like 51 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: none of this shit works. I don't even think our 52 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: borders make sense. Like that's see, I'm like way over 53 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: there but us, but you know, ocean, you might as 54 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: well swim. So so the fact that America decided to 55 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: overlook all possible signs of toxicity, the fact that like 56 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: none of the trade off was worth it for them, 57 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: that the twice impeached thirty four felony convicted rapists. Do 58 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: y'all hear all that? Y'all hear all them sirens and stuff? 59 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: I live in the hood, Do y'all hear that it's 60 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: going wild outside? I don't know if y'all hear that, 61 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: but I went to go check this ghetto bird just 62 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: circling around the street next to mine. It is what 63 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: it is. I don't know what to tell you, and 64 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: what's dope about it is like people just outside mowing 65 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: a lawn. It's Veterans Day, so we're just mowing our 66 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: lawn and bring your trash cans back in. It's like 67 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: just or hey, like hope you get awake us anyway, 68 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: speaking of which I just don't know how well I 69 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: do know how apparently the trade off don't matter that 70 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: none of it none. I can't even get the sentence out. 71 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: None of it mattered. Like the court cases. The boy 72 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: is not allowed to do business in New York. He 73 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: is a felon. There are countries he's not allowed to 74 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: go to. None of that matters. They eating the pets 75 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: don't matter. None of it mattered. So some of y'all 76 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: are either flabbergasted or like grieved this weekend. It's crazy 77 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: walking around LA people was like grieving, like like somebody died, 78 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: and I tell you what died. I can and again 79 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: you probably in this first bucket optimism, your hope and 80 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: optimism died because especially you know, shout out again the 81 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: faux black people and seven Filipinos and all the rest 82 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: of the Latinos that is in this on this particular show, 83 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: who we kind of knew to not get our hopes up. 84 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: But we thought maybe maybe this time, maybe y'all got 85 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: a code. Maybe this man is so ratchet that this 86 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: would that this would shake you out of your stupord. 87 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: But nope. And speaking of code, this is another thing 88 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: you know, you learn in our way of life, is 89 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: that whether we're talking about the G code, like which 90 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: you know kind of like in some ways is like 91 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: the you know, sort of a dying art with some 92 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: of these gangsters out there, and as we know, like 93 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: you throw enough time at somebody you start talking about ten, fifteen, 94 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: twenty years, just be like f the code, you know. 95 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: But I will say this, that translates to a type 96 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: of manhood that for me, flies completely in the face 97 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: of any of these like right wing blogosphere dudes that 98 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: like clearly it created a pipeline for Trump to get into. 99 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: Like strategy wise, I mean, I'm jumping ahead of myself 100 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: because I want to talk about code, but strategy wise 101 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: is real simple, Like where are young men at They 102 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: at video games at jiu jitsus they're at mmas and 103 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: guess who runs all those YouTube channels, all those blogs, 104 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: all those this.

I'll 123 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: quote quote all the quotables. But the point I'm making 124 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: is like we live by these codes that you learn, 125 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: whether streets or street adjacent, you just you just live 126 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: by a code. Part of that is like all money 127 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: ain't good money. There are lines that we draw like 128 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 1: you don't some transactions the juice ain't worth the squeeze, 129 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: Like you know. One of those things is like shit. 130 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: You learn it in little league. You take your beating 131 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: like a man. If you lost, you hold your chin up, 132 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: you valuate, you don't. You don't blame the refs. You 133 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: don't call cheating, No, that's coward shit. I'm using your 134 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: own terms, like be a man. Sometimes you gotta take 135 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: it on the chin. You feel me. You don't make 136 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: no excuses. You don't blame nobody else. It's you. The 137 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: buck stop with you. You feel me. You man the 138 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: fuck up. You get the fuck up, and you shut 139 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: up about stuff. We live by a code that how 140 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: you do anything is how you do everything. You look 141 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: at somebody and you like, man, you ain't. This man 142 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: don't got no day ones around him, everybody around you 143 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: just met your whole team. You only known him for 144 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: like a year and a half. Like that's a red flag. 145 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: To me, I'm like, oh, this man ain't got no code. 146 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: You don't have no actual loyalty because you not a 147 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: rider or die. You only want rider dies. And so 148 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: I'm like this, this man don't have no code. So 149 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: I feel like we live by codes that you when 150 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: the juice an't worth the squeeze, I back up. There 151 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: is a line you have shown me how you care yourself. 152 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: And I don't care how much money you're saying you're 153 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: gonna give me. It's not worth it. So if your 154 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: boy is mourning, I'm mourning the fact that, like I thought, y'all, 155 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: I thought my code is. I know my code might 156 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: be different than y'all's, but I thought you at least 157 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: had one. That that's to me, was like, oh, there's 158 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 1: no line for y'all. There's no there's no trade off, 159 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: like it's all that that made me sad. But it's 160 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: not like I didn't know. Nope. So we running around 161 00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: here grieving dudes, people texting each other. Okay, let's go 162 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: for a walk, let's go work out, make sure you 163 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: take care of yourself, take a break. It's funny except 164 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: that I be except I was one that was also 165 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: grieving because I thought, maybe this time, maybe we found 166 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: a person so repugnant that you'd have a line. So 167 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: people's just grieving. I know what I was grieving. I 168 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: was grieving the fact that, like I thought, I thought 169 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: there was a line. I thought that there was a 170 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: point that the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. It's not 171 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: even about him, per se. I mean it kind of is, 172 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: but just the fact that like there's no there's no bottom, 173 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: there's no bottom, like there's you're like completely mask off. 174 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: Eggs cost too much. So I'll believe this dude that 175 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: said he can make eggs costs go down. I'll ignore 176 00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: everything else about this man. I thought maybe y'all's memories 177 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: was longer because he keeps saying, well, Kamala is in charge, now, 178 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: why is she not being able to do the thing. 179 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, nigga, you used to be in charge too, 180 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: And nostalgia's a hell of a drug. I'm just saying, 181 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: like I don't it didn't feel much better or worse 182 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: to me. It is what it is. Anyway, you might 183 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: be in that bucket, some of y'all might be in ah. 184 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: And I was talking to one of my little homeboys yesterday. 185 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: That's almost in like the accelerationist bucket, but in reverse 186 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: to where it's just like, yeah, let the please let 187 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: this bull into the china shop. Please. I wish you 188 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: would just break every just just just break it all, 189 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: like so we can finally just let's just get it 190 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: over with, right. Let the empire crash, let it burn? 191 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: Can we fight like it's we're on our way. We're like, 192 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: we're obvious on our way to destruction. At some point 193 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: in the holidays, we gotta run reruns. I'm going to 194 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: try to run the Ray dally O one when he 195 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: talks about the collapse of empires. We gotta run that 196 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: one because, like I mean, we're on the brink of 197 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: extinction as far as like if you understand global empires, 198 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: it's just the world is reordering. So some of y'all 199 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: might be absolute accelerations. And then maybe there's five of 200 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: y'all that secretly didn't want to tell nobody but was 201 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: kind of like it was kind of my guy. And 202 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: a lot of times in my experience, it's over maybe 203 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: one or two issues. It's abortion, But I'm assuming if 204 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: you listen to this show, it's the border stuff just 205 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: didn't do it for you. You was just like, I mean, 206 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: it's a scare tactic. But then again, things do cost 207 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: a lot, so you probably ain't one of these three buckets. 208 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: So today this is what I'm gonna do. You've probably 209 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: had your feel of analysis, so I'm gonna give you 210 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: a short version of mine and just remind you of 211 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: what work we continue to god to complete. Wow, that 212 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: was a horrible sentence, but you feel me. The marathon continues. 213 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: Let's go all right, obviously, don't need to drop a look. 214 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: It's like this because we know it's like, first of all, 215 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: shout out Kendrick for opening his mouth and getting every 216 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: possible He's nominated for every category. Like what category is 217 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: Kendrick not nominated? It? Like demand is goal? It's absurd anyway, Uh, 218 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: but let's get to it. Listen, here's some analysis. I'm 219 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: gonna pull some of my own receipts here and pat 220 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: myself on the back a little bit, and hopefully if 221 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: you've been following along all year, these these are the 222 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: blase black woofed, the whoops, These are the interpretations that 223 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: Lick reads that had you been following with with me, 224 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: you might have been a little more prepared for today, 225 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: right when someone just gets the dog shit beat out 226 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: of them, when somebody like, listen, the Democrats ain't lose. 227 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: They got they ass beat like they whooped your ass. 228 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: Now I don't okay, listen, yeah, you're gonna win some 229 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: house seats. Grade you know, there was some local elections 230 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: shout out, you know, Tussa Oklahoma hiring or acting they 231 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: first black mayor. Like that's a beautiful thing. We got 232 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: to finally got two black senators in at the same time, 233 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: you feel me, we got a trance. There's a trans 234 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: in Delaware, you know what I'm saying, Like, I mean, 235 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: there's been some some like some like wow, this is 236 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: a big deal. You feel me. The people spoke. We 237 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: appreciate that on the local level. But let's not okay, 238 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: just because just because you scored forty points in the 239 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: third quarter, it didn't mean that these people ain't beat 240 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: your ass. Okay, the Republicans whooped your ass. So the 241 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: easiest answers sometimes, although helpful, don't tell a full story, right, 242 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: And you and me know, the easiest answer is America's racist. 243 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: Like I mean, I don't understand what the hell, what 244 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: the hell is confusing about that motherfucker's racist, like we 245 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: know that is you surprised people that you don't think 246 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: is racist are actually racist. They are, of course they are. 247 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: They just they just there's a different kind of racism. 248 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: There's the like, you know, make America white again racist, 249 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: and then there's the make America great again race. You 250 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: understand what John to say, like nigga of course, like 251 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: what delusion is what you wonder? You know, So there's 252 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: there's the easy answer, and sometimes, like I said, is helpful. 253 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: But I think getting into the minutia because understanding that 254 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: racism don't always play along color lines. Sometimes in internalized racism, 255 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: sometimes a desire for whiteness, a desire for power. Because 256 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: somebody got to get their brain around Latinos for Trump. 257 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: Now we probably gonna do one on it could happen here. 258 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 1: I've been digging into that thing for a while. And 259 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: also I'm saying that with the caveat that I am 260 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: clearly not Latino. I'm from they hood, I'm married one. 261 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: But that's just that just gives me, that just gives 262 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: me a Delta sky Lounge pass. That don't mean I'm 263 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: one of y'all. You understand I'm saying so like I'm 264 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: gonna say that with that that sort of like caveat now. 265 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: When we did the to the Boom Incorporated RNC, the 266 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: one thing I told y'all that I was like, you 267 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: know what dog respect due it is they told an 268 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: amazing story. I have a merch item on prop hipop 269 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: dot com. It's called tell better stories because words build worlds. Right, 270 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: that's another merch item I got tell better stories. And 271 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, now, is this story grotesque? Yes? 272 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: Was this story deeply false? Absolutely? It was just a 273 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: better story. It was cohesive. It brought you in, It 274 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: gave you your exposition. You knew who the hero was, 275 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: you knew who the villain was, and you knew what 276 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: the solution was supposed to be in this story. That 277 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: story included a nostalgia, and we all know a nostalgia 278 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: is so powerful. I mean, just if you are again 279 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: within a ten mile radius of my age, go visit 280 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: a high school. Feel the time warp you're sending in 281 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: as you look at the clothes these kids is wearing. 282 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: I mean they even they've even socially stratified themselves in 283 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: the same way the skaters look the same and they 284 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: all kick it in the same spot. It's the most bizarre. Like, 285 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: what like nostalgia? How many podcasts right now are rewatches 286 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: of shows from your childhood? Nostalgia is so powerful? And 287 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Was it that great when you was 288 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: living it? You don't remember? You know why, because that's 289 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: how nostalgia works. Was it that bad? You know what? 290 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: You don't remember because that's how nostalgia works. Nostalgia is 291 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: not memory, it's feeling. Nostalgia ain't got nothing to do 292 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: with what actually happened. It happened to do with the warm, 293 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: fuzzy It's the moment you was in, how the moment felt. 294 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: Trump calling on a nostalgia that some of these people 295 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: not only never existed in, but if they was alive, 296 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: then wouldn't even be allowed in the room. Like that's 297 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: the Who has Bewitched You? Part? That I really blow 298 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: my mind. But nostalgia's powerful and it's a wonderful story, 299 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: and who would not wish to be a part of it? 300 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: You know? A Christmas story with the Red Rifle bb 301 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: gun Mon's Gonna Kill Ralphie? I love that movie? Do 302 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: you know I wouldn't be allowed in that boy's house. 303 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: I need you to like, like, this is what I 304 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: mean by nostalgia. You'll shoot your eye out. Kid. I 305 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: would not be allowed to play with him. That's a 306 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: segregated community. What do any black kids have any business 307 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: enjoying a movie like this. That's not my nostalgia. But 308 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: I remember being a child watching the movie and thinking 309 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: that's fun. You're a shoot your rye ho ho. And 310 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: I know the feeling of wanting something so bad on Christmas. 311 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: Christmas morning listen. I'm California. I ain't never had no 312 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: white Christmas. What nostalgia, But it's a powerful drug. That's 313 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: what he did. It was better back then. And then 314 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: he presented something that was so cohesive that I just 315 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: I keep looking at the Democrats and I'm just like, 316 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: I just don't understand why y'all couldn't do this. But 317 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: like with truth, he would say, it's very simple. The 318 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: system's broken. That's a big old dove. It does not 319 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: serve you. I have cracked the code, because you see, 320 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: I'm on top of the world. I could crack that 321 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: code for you. Here's how I'm gonna fix it. I'm 322 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: gonna make America safe again. I'm gonna make America strong again. 323 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make America wealthy again. I'm gonna make America 324 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: great again. The system don't serve you no more. And 325 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: you know why I don't serve you, dim fools. Then 326 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: Nigga gave you a bad guy. And you know who 327 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 1: the bad guy is. Everybody that's not them? What a 328 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: simple story?

The end of the day, Utility beats morality. 457 00:28:45,520 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: And that's what we saw, just utility the media. Now 458 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: on the Democrat side, everybody can start pointing fingers. That's 459 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: the other thing that happens. After you get your ass beat. 460 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: You always point your finger at each other, everybody else 461 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: on the team. Why didn't you hit that three pointer? 462 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: Why ain't you? Everybody got reasons, There are a million 463 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: reasons why, but the main reason is you got beat 464 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: because they played better than you. That's just they played 465 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: the game better. Like that's like, I just don't understand 466 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: why these people not willing to admit that you just 467 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: got outplayed. And look, they outplayed you with lies. And 468 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: of course sometimes lion is cheating because you lying.

But you 470 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: got y'all have facts on y'all side, and you ain't 471 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: how to use it. Now. I don't want to contradict 472 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: myself on the possibility that the Republicans did actually cheat, 473 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: you do and me claiming cheating, But I mean there 474 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: was some there was some burnt ballot boxes. I mean, 475 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: it's just I'm just saying I don't put it past them. 476 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: But a loss is a loss. Obviously, she Kamala came 477 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: in late. There's that they probably should have done an 478 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: open primary so she'd have got the rust off it. 479 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: Probably could have done that. Joe Biden probably could have 480 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: stepped down earlier. Probably could have done that. She could 481 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: have actually kind of been like the rock in the 482 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: hard place that she was in, which is like throw 483 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: this nigga under the bus.

I supported him because it was 488 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,239 Speaker 1: my job, Like that's all you had to do. They 489 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: kept blaming administrative stuff on her, known full well she's 490 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: the vice president. But that's a sticky situation too, because 491 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: she can't be like, we know, the vice president ain't 492 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: got a real power, nigger, Like what do I do? Like, 493 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: I'm not that I don't make the decisions he does. 494 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: So when she had a chance to be like, yo, 495 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: what would you do different she could have been like, look, 496 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: I probably handle a lot of things differently. She could say, like, 497 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: I mean, given an example, would obviously put her in 498 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: a bad position because she still worked there, but acknowledge 499 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: it to be like, listen, dude, it was my job. 500 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: It's my job to support him. There are things that 501 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: we talk about behind closed doors that yeah, like I 502 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: probably would have handled some things differently. It's a bad look. 503 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: It would be like saying something like this, Yo, it's 504 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: a bad look right now because the rest of the 505 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: world's watching for me to, like, you know, undermine him 506 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: at this point. But no, we don't. Of course, we 507 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: don't agree on everything. Of course we weren't. We weren't 508 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: in you know, lockstep, you know, in my platform, you 509 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: could see, you could see these are things that I 510 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: would do differently. So rather than just saying he did 511 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: this and I would do this, I'll say this, this 512 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: is what I would do. You could run a gambit 513 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: like that and people who would not respect her saying, look, 514 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna throw the homie under the bus. But yeah, 515 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: we're not the same person. But nah. He kept being like, 516 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: y'all the same, and she couldn't counter that. She was 517 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: on her back foot the whole time. And when you 518 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: on your backfoot the whole time. When he was like, look, 519 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: the system broken, here's how I'll fix it, the Democrat's 520 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: response was, well, your plans are trash. I can't believe 521 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,959 Speaker 1: you have no respect for our institutions, which makes it 522 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: sound like she don't think the institutions are broken. Now, 523 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: if you sitting somewhere in the middle of America and 524 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: you got to choose between paying for your medicine or 525 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: paying for your rent, then you like the system's broken. 526 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: You'd have been pumped full of this. Immigrants are your problem. 527 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: Because he then told you that it's her fault that 528 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: these doors is open. She need to be able to say, listen, 529 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: you're right, the system is broken. Here's where his plan 530 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: will hurt you deeply. Here's where my plans will help you. 531 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: Systems broken. I got solutions too, except my solutions are 532 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: based on fact, science, research and not hate. He could 533 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: she could have said listen. She could have said listen. 534 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: It is deeply immature and irresponsible to blame all your 535 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: problems on an entire swath of people. That's called a scapegoat. 536 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: That is not taking responsibility for your actions, which clearly 537 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: this man will never do. He will never take responsibility 538 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: for his actions. Here's where we've messed up as democrats. 539 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: Here's what I'm modu different because I take responsibility for 540 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: my actions. There were some things that we could have 541 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: done better. This is why we did it. Then it 542 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: was based on this It was based on this data. 543 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: It turns out data is just data, and people are people, 544 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: and sometimes they unpredictable, and sometimes you predict things and 545 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: it just don't work out the way you want it 546 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: to work out. Here's my plan to change that. Who 547 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: are absolutely right, your cost of living is too high, 548 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: and that's on our watch. Here's what I would do different. 549 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: Y'all remember that you can't argue with j cole fans episode. Obviously, 550 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: I don't know how well that aged with, Like who 551 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: knew that the Big Three was gonna happen? Like I 552 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: was I supposed to know that was gonna happen. But 553 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: the point was about how something feels. You can't tell 554 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: me the economy is good if it don't feel like 555 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: it's good. What and Trump was able to do is 556 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,959 Speaker 1: tell you how it felt right. I used to tour 557 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,439 Speaker 1: with In two thousand and six, I had a chance 558 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: to tour with karas One. It depends on how much 559 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: you in the hip hop? Is that name matters? Like 560 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: if you really in the hip hop, you should be 561 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: really impressed by me. And one thing karas One said 562 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: is a good rapper can tell you how he feels, 563 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: but at MC can tell you how you feel. He 564 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: used to get on stage and do this whole fuck 565 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: George Bush thing. He's like, I don't even sit about 566 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: George Bush. That's how y'all feel. So the power is 567 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: saying if it don't feel right, if it don't if 568 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: I don't feel like you love me even no matter. 569 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: So you running the evidence, You running the gambit of 570 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: here's all my receipts that shows you that we've done 571 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: good for you and for your economy. It don't feel 572 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: like you did. So what you got to do is 573 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: figure out how to say what they feel and make 574 00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: the listener feel like you hear them and that your 575 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:05,959 Speaker 1: your solutions feel right. See that's what Trump do. Trump 576 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: worried about how you feel because tariffs that he talking 577 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: about verifiably don't work, but it feel like it do. 578 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: So what Kamala sh ain't You ain't get into what 579 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: it felt like. It feel like the system feeling it 580 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: feel like your plans don't work well? You not. You 581 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: not making me feel like you understand what we're going through. 582 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: And that is why the Democrats come off as elite 583 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: because it don't I feel like you don't. You don't 584 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 1: feel what we feeling. You just tell us we wrong 585 00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: for feeling this. This is why I don't run a 586 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,280 Speaker 1: campaign because I wouldn't know how to fix that except 587 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: for saying it don't feel right. I just today I 588 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: couldn't even finish this podcast because we had to stop 589 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: and do a vocal session. Shout out to Homie. Lisa 590 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: Gunger came through and did the oohs and odds on 591 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: the new poetry album. There's a poetry album coming out 592 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. She did the oohs and odds 593 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,439 Speaker 1: on it, and some of the things she was saying. 594 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 1: It wasn't words. There was a few things where the 595 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: timing was off, but it felt right. Some thing's gotta 596 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: feel right, and some things just feel wrong. You gotta 597 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: know how to harness that. And that's just Democrats didn't 598 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 1: do it. It just didn't feel just didn't feel right. 599 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: It feels like you don't feel like how we feel. 600 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: But the two things that are clearly the most obvious 601 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: that at cynical as you say this is I differ. 602 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: I differ from Cody and Katie. I differ from Robert 603 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: probably in this one sense. She's a black woman and 604 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: ain't no way in the world, y'all, we are ain't 605 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: no way in the world. And part of me weeks 606 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,800 Speaker 1: because silly me for actually thinking that it was possible 607 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: that at the end of the day, she got the 608 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: most electoral points in the history of any other black woman. 609 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: You know, fannyluhay Ran, you know walk so she can 610 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: run like that's real. But y'all, listen, come here, come here, 611 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: come here, listen. That's a black woman. This is still America. 612 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: I just you just you just gotta face it, y'all. 613 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 1: I've said many times that anti blackness is global, and 614 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: it just is. But you know what else is global patriarchy? 615 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: It just I know how I know it feels like 616 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 1: an oversimplification because it in some ways once you get 617 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: into the minutia, Yeah, descend into the particulars. But guys, 618 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: you're you gotta look at it, you know, political, political, pundits, political, 619 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: we have a way of naval gazing. Ignore not obvious. 620 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 1: This is why you need black voices in the room. 621 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: This is why you need people of color. Nigga, that's 622 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: a black woman. It is what it is. But you know, 623 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,439 Speaker 1: the marathon continues just because it ain't happen now, don't 624 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: mean it won't happen. Ever. That's the resilience of the 625 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: ancestors that course through my veins. The marathon continues, all right, y'all. So, 626 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,240 Speaker 1: had we woke up to the first female black president, 627 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,919 Speaker 1: the war in guys are still happening, we still would 628 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: have needed to organize. Had we woke up with a 629 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: black woman president, Houselessness would still be a crisis. Had 630 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: we woke up with a black woman president, Flint still 631 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: don't got water. The marathon can continues, y'all. Now, when 632 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 1: you pull from a deep well of resistance, there's a 633 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: few things that you know, one of which is the 634 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:20,479 Speaker 1: personal is political. Now, Audrey Lord said this, but also 635 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 1: this girl named Carol Hannish, who was a second wave feminist. 636 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 1: She was talking about abortion rights, right, that your personal 637 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 1: choice is also a political choice. People say, well, abortion, 638 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: that's a personal choice. Well, the personal is political. And 639 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 1: that's been an organizing thought for me for a long time. 640 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: In my song I like me, I start with that 641 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: the personal is political. The revolution start at home. Your 642 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: first protest should be your own choices you make personally, 643 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: despite who in that office. Continues that marathon. When I 644 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: think of climate change choices, it sounds stupid. It's might 645 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 1: sound but and I know it might be a drop 646 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,959 Speaker 1: in the bucket, but it's a political choice. I bought 647 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,720 Speaker 1: a bidet a little the tushy, you know that Cody 648 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: and them was advertising, why it's just less paper. We 649 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: don't buy paper towels. I went to home depot and 650 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: I bought a whole hundred thousand pack of them, like 651 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: little square cloth towels, and I just wash them on Saturdays. 652 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 1: It's these are little choices that aren't making, that aren't 653 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: turning me in a homesteader.
