Speaker 1: Cool media.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna say it like this was any of
Speaker 2: y'all athletes in high school? First of all, happy New Year,
Speaker 2: but yeah, she's the three Hood politics a crazy year.
Speaker 3: This is about to be, my lord.
Speaker 2: How excellent and twenty twenty four electionit cut all right,
Speaker 2: So any of y'all played basketball? Like, was you an athlete?
Speaker 2: Was you a high school athlete? Did you go to
Speaker 2: a school that cared about sports? Or are you probably
Speaker 2: most like most cool zone folks where you're just like,
Speaker 2: I didn't do the sports ball unless unless you me
Speaker 2: and Sophie or the podfather himself, Jack O'Brien, Like we
Speaker 2: hooped Sophie the high school ball playing athlete. She went
Speaker 2: to a rather black high school too, Like it was.
Speaker 2: It's pretty funny. She was over there hooping, So you
Speaker 2: had to like hoop to be over to be over there. Anyway,
Speaker 2: the things the movies don't tell you about, especially if
Speaker 2: you from the hood, if you're a high school ball player,
Speaker 2: you go to school that's like a little bit urban
Speaker 2: anywhere in California, it's kind of like this. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: even argue even down there with the rich kids in
Speaker 2: Orange County because them rich kids over there selling X
Speaker 2: pills in cocaine and just driving their daddy's trucks. Anyway,
Speaker 2: you'd be surprised how rotchet surfers are now. I mean,
Speaker 2: they obviously can't compare to the hood. But anyway, point is,
Speaker 2: there is a good chance that your school's basketball team
Speaker 2: don't really have the best players in your area, or
Speaker 2: even the best player at your school, because the blessed
Speaker 2: player at your school probably ineligible.
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: That mean he got a below a two point oh GPA,
Speaker 2: she got a below a two point oh GPA. They'd
Speaker 2: have been suspended modean twice. They got Syrians behavior issues.
Speaker 2: They could just hoop everybody in the whole school love them.
Speaker 2: And Coach Carter down there outne made up Coach Carter.
Speaker 2: Coach Carter absolutely adores this dude, because man, y'all could
Speaker 2: win state. Y'all could win this whole thing if this
Speaker 2: fool could play. May he even tried out with y'all.
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, he probably ran a few plays with you.
Speaker 2: He was in summer league because there wasn't no grades
Speaker 2: in summer league. And then then first that man was
Speaker 2: running the floor for a while.
Speaker 3: You know, what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: And then y'all lost in the finals in the tournament,
Speaker 2: and he swear it wasn't his fault, but he swear
Speaker 2: the rest cheated, but y'all knew he won.
Speaker 3: Then at first try to.
Speaker 2: Mess the grades came through the nigga got a one
Speaker 2: point two, been suspended twice. It's like, Coach, like, I
Speaker 2: gotta kick you off the team unless you could convince
Speaker 2: his math teacher to lie about this grade. But this
Speaker 2: math teacher is like, oh, hell no, you know what
Speaker 2: this dude be doing in our classroom, Like you could
Speaker 2: call me a square, but there are requirements. Coach could
Speaker 2: be in there and being like, nah, y'all just hate him.
Speaker 2: You just you just don't like him. And it's like,
Speaker 2: I don't give a shit about how I feel about now.
Speaker 2: You're right, I don't. But that's not the point. If
Speaker 2: the boy did his homework, if the boy had not
Speaker 2: had you know what I'm saying, walk into my class,
Speaker 2: flipped over the goddamn tables because he ain't like the
Speaker 2: grade he got. If he wasn't in here cragging jokes
Speaker 2: and just roasting everybody, that's all every time they're in here,
Speaker 2: knowing full well, anybody gonna do nothing because everybody think
Speaker 2: he funny, then maybe I would have a different scenario.
Speaker 2: But the point is whether I like him or not
Speaker 2: don't matter. If he passed my class. He passed my class,
Speaker 2: didn't turn out his history teacher didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Not passing him was an option. I ain't know.
Speaker 2: I ain't know I had the opportunity to tell this,
Speaker 2: to tell y'all, no, he did not pass.
Speaker 3: I thought I had to. I thought I ain't had
Speaker 3: no choice.
Speaker 2: I thought the school was gonna rebel if we didn't
Speaker 2: put him on the on the eligible lists. You mean
Speaker 2: to tell me I don't. I didn't have to pretend
Speaker 2: like this D minus is a C I didn't have.
Speaker 2: I didn't have to act like I didn't see this
Speaker 2: boy slap the shit out of somebody in my classroom
Speaker 2: because he's just because everybody loved because he's a good athlete.
Speaker 2: I could pretend like he's not. Coaches, like, do the
Speaker 2: right thing, and by right thing, I mean ignore all this.
Speaker 2: Just give him what he needs because we need to win. Eventually,
Speaker 2: the principal is gonna have to step in and say,
Speaker 2: is this okay? But if the principal steps in and says,
Speaker 2: there's this Okay, I don't understand why every other sport
Speaker 2: at your school and every rival school wouldn't be like,
Speaker 2: hold up, wait, wait, this is an option. And then
Speaker 2: once the school steps in, the principal steps in, and
Speaker 2: this principal decides, I'm just gonna gonna let this lie.
Speaker 2: Then the district's gotta go wait you then then what
Speaker 2: are requirement The district got to step in, But the
Speaker 2: district feel like we didn't already told y'all, and the
Speaker 2: district just letting out big sides like what day is
Speaker 2: the game happening? I don't want to be in this
Speaker 2: because that you scared your whole school is going to
Speaker 2: have an insurrection if he ain't eligible, y'all. Hood politics
Speaker 2: no from welcome, welcome, welcome Now. If you don't know
Speaker 2: I'm talking about President Donald Trump, if you wasn't able
Speaker 2: to follow that little metaphor being removed from some primary
Speaker 2: ballots and deciding that, look, he's not eligible, I don't
Speaker 2: know what else to tell you, Like, the man's not eligible.
Speaker 2: And what makes it weird is, like I said in
Speaker 2: the metaphor is but he's clearly the star like he's
Speaker 2: he's going to win. At least that's what we think
Speaker 2: right now. You feel me like the Republicans are like, well,
Speaker 2: you're removing our best athlete, like our best chance of winning.
Speaker 2: Sound to me like y'all just some hating ass niggas,
Speaker 2: is what they're saying. You know, there is court Coach
Speaker 2: Carter like, y'all just don't like you scared.
Speaker 3: If we do this, we're gonna win.
Speaker 2: And the State of Colorado turns out as his math teacher,
Speaker 2: that's like, he's got it, he's got an he's got
Speaker 2: a D minus. I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2: You want me to pretend like he's not failing. He
Speaker 2: didn't pass. I don't know what to say. He didn't
Speaker 2: pass the class. What do you want me to do?
Speaker 2: And then Maine was like, wait, we can. I ain't
Speaker 2: know we could. I ain't know this was an option. Well,
Speaker 2: we're gonna look at it. We're gonna look at his
Speaker 2: grades too, and May was like, oh, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 2: he can't. He not eligible because you told me it was.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't not run my class. I thought
Speaker 2: the states had states rights. I thought you I thought
Speaker 2: we were alive. I thought you was the federalist. I
Speaker 2: thought y'all was a federalist part. You believe that the
Speaker 2: states had their own rights right and we just we're
Speaker 2: just exercising our right as a state. I thought, look,
Speaker 2: I looked at the paper, I looked at the requirement.
Speaker 2: Whether I like him or not, don't matter. He ain't
Speaker 2: meet the requirements. So today I want to talk about
Speaker 2: these two state Supreme Court cases fourteenth Amendment and what
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court's got to talk about and what this
Speaker 2: might actually mean for our future, because it's kind of
Speaker 2: a big deal.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: What I was supposed to do over the break was
Speaker 2: run a rerun episode about the Supreme Court and when
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court started to get involved in politics. We
Speaker 2: had a series or a two part episode last year
Speaker 2: called y'all, don't sign my checks or mariname my chicken.
Speaker 2: Remember that. Don't answer it? Well you could answer it,
Speaker 2: I just won't hear you. Y'all, don't sign my checks, y'all,
Speaker 2: don't mariname my chicken. And it's about really the function
Speaker 2: of the Supreme Court and when the Supreme Court started
Speaker 2: having a role in elections, because that really was its
Speaker 2: purpose and there was a Supreme Court Justice, you can
Speaker 2: go back and listen to it. Like I said, I
Speaker 2: was supposed to run it over to Holidays. Not really
Speaker 2: sure what happened. No wedal though, But like long story short,
Speaker 2: it was a case in Tennessee where there were clearly
Speaker 2: this process of redistricting that was on purpose trying to
Speaker 2: disenfranchise the votes of black people. They were just calling
Speaker 2: it urban communities, essentially trying to make it to where
Speaker 2: this district that was densely populated with urban black people
Speaker 2: would have when you break it down, like one twentieth
Speaker 2: of the political power of rural white areas in Tennessee.
Speaker 2: And they took it to the Supreme Court, to the
Speaker 2: state Supreme Court that is, and then the state Supreme
Speaker 2: Court was like, yeah, it seems cool to me and
Speaker 2: they but the City of Memphis District of Member was like,
Speaker 2: this is ridiculous. You're clear you can't do this. So
Speaker 2: then it got to the Supreme Court. And in the
Speaker 2: Supreme Court, it's not so much that they didn't see
Speaker 2: this injustice.
Speaker 3: They saw it.
Speaker 2: They were just saying, well, one of the guys was
Speaker 2: just saying, we can't get involved in this, because if
Speaker 2: we get involved in elections. We're gonna be stuck here forever,
Speaker 2: Like we're gonna lose our sense of being as far
Speaker 2: removed from the political process as we possibly can, knowing
Speaker 2: full well that like there's no way you're not in
Speaker 2: part of the political process.
Speaker 3: But we're hoping to try to stay out of it.
Speaker 2: Like listen, like let us be mysterious and let's just
Speaker 2: remain policy nerds and just stay out of voting process, right,
Speaker 2: because that's supposed to be pure. That was the idea.
Speaker 2: If we get into this, we're gonna be stuck forever.
Speaker 2: The other side of the Supreme Court was like, there
Speaker 2: is a clear injustice here, and it seems as though
Speaker 2: when you have this clear injustice, voting's already tainted.
Speaker 3: They could vote, but it won't.
Speaker 2: Matter because the system is already rigged against them. We
Speaker 2: are to correct the system. How could you possibly say
Speaker 2: stay out of it when you see that there's a problem.
Speaker 2: The other side was like, we're gonna be here forever.
Speaker 2: Then we're gonna then, listen, what's gonna happen even if
Speaker 2: we jump in, then we're gonna be pawns in partisan
Speaker 2: politics for the rest of our time.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a problem. And now the guy that's.
Speaker 2: Saying that was on record, as I mean, in the
Speaker 2: anals of history, was like an asshole. Your body was like,
Speaker 2: we hate this guy. And it turned out, I mean
Speaker 2: you fast forward to Bush v.
Speaker 1: Gore.
Speaker 3: He was right.
Speaker 2: They got the Supreme Court got tied up into partisan politics.
Speaker 2: And now when we talk about judges, we say, this
Speaker 2: is a conservative judge or a liberal judge.
Speaker 3: He was right.
Speaker 2: And now we're back here again. So yeah, so that's
Speaker 2: what we're gonna cover. But before we do, y'all following
Speaker 2: this the Diddy story. Wait, but even before we get
Speaker 2: to the Diddy story, Matt find a way to replay dude,
Speaker 2: do now that one bites the dust. God, dude, dude, dude,
Speaker 2: Chris Christie gon.
Speaker 4: Yo, Chris Christy say fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,
Speaker 4: You're cool, fuck you.
Speaker 3: I'm out. He gone, my man drive.
Speaker 2: I mean, the nigga was doing negative numbers because but
Speaker 2: there is a slight significance to his nigga being gone.
Speaker 2: Two things that was really crazy that just happened. One
Speaker 2: is his speech. His speech was different than howse speeches
Speaker 2: normally be. Normally you supposed to be like, well you know,
Speaker 2: the looks like the people have just spoken, and you know,
Speaker 2: I just I want to see the Republicans win as
Speaker 2: long as we defeat you know, the opposite party, and
Speaker 2: I'm going to throw my support and I want my
Speaker 2: people to continue to participate in this beautiful process, in
Speaker 2: this American experiment. Now, this nigga said, and I quote,
Speaker 2: I'm suspending my campaign. And I know this is disappointing
Speaker 2: to some of y'all, but it's the right thing for
Speaker 2: me to do because I just want to make sure
Speaker 2: that I in no way enable Donald Trump to be president.
Speaker 2: This nigga said, Listen, that's more important whether I win
Speaker 2: or not, as long as that nigga lose. And he
Speaker 2: looking at everybody else in there, like, nigga, if you ain't,
Speaker 2: if you ain't taking shot at Trump, you're enabling that
Speaker 2: shit too. I feel like that man, the way he
Speaker 2: presented is just like he paying penance for actually serving
Speaker 2: Lord Boldemore in the first place. Like he was like, Nigga,
Speaker 2: I was wrong. This nigga had a hot mic moment
Speaker 2: where he was dissing both the Santos and Nikki Haley.
Speaker 2: The one that the Trump campaign jumped on was the
Speaker 2: Nicki Haley disc because that's where they spending all their
Speaker 2: money right now, because they're scared of old Nimarada.
Speaker 3: You feel me.
Speaker 2: They like she doing way too good. We need to
Speaker 2: start bringing the heat towards her. We was bringing the
Speaker 2: heat towards Desantists. Now we're bringing the heat that old Nicki,
Speaker 2: Nicki Nicole, You feel me like?
Speaker 3: They basically saying, I don't mean shit.
Speaker 2: It ain't gonna change nothing, Nigga, I'm still so far
Speaker 2: ahead it don't even matter. But what the Poles is saying.
Speaker 2: And again, if you believe the Poles, they always mean nothing.
Speaker 2: But they said most Chris Christie like potential Chris Christy
Speaker 2: voters said if he drop out, they probably gonna vote
Speaker 2: for Nikki Haley, which is why trumping him going after
Speaker 2: her now because she got a little slow burn on her.
Speaker 3: She liked that she like barbecue. You feel me.
Speaker 2: Wait till you hear the Black Thought episode. I know
Speaker 2: it ain't came out yet, but wait till y'all hear that,
Speaker 2: you'll understand what I mean by this. Anyway, it's just
Speaker 2: so much happening right now that it's hard to get
Speaker 2: episodes out. I may go to like two times a
Speaker 2: week because it's just so much haddening. Nah, I ain't
Speaker 2: gonna do that. That's so much work on me.
Speaker 3: Queue up the old school American idol.
Speaker 2: So you had that day? Is that of the base
Speaker 2: Chris Christy Cook? Anyway, y'all heard about Diddy. Turns out
Speaker 2: he's an absolute weirdo. I mean, that's what they It's
Speaker 2: crazy how little coverage like hip hop is given this
Speaker 2: that like did he face it like some real weird
Speaker 2: old charges right now?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't want to spread no rumors, but.
Speaker 2: That's quite that's white the tea his girlfriend like, Nah,
Speaker 2: that nigga weird like in like the worst.
Speaker 3: Since I don't know anyway, let's.
Speaker 2: Talk about uh, the OPTA weirdo Trump. Here we go,
Speaker 2: all right, so it's going down like this. If you
Speaker 2: don't already know, former President Trump was removed from the
Speaker 2: primary ballot in the state of Colorado on the grounds
Speaker 2: of something called the fourteenth of Mint. Now maybe you've
Speaker 2: seen some coverage on this, uh, maybe know these details,
Speaker 2: but to give this background just to help you understand
Speaker 2: everybody's perspective here if you don't already understand it, because
Speaker 2: it could seem kind of weird, but before you get
Speaker 2: to the fourteenth Amendment, you have to understand the rules
Speaker 2: to become a president. And in the most bizarro, upside
Speaker 2: down universe way to think about this, you got to
Speaker 2: go back to two people, Arnold Swarzenegger and Henry Kissinger.
Speaker 3: I listen, this can't get weirder.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing that war criminal Henry Kissinger was so
Speaker 2: loved that there was a time that there was a
Speaker 2: petition to possibly let him run for president because he
Speaker 2: was so loved.
Speaker 3: Even in the Congress, they was like, Yo, we really
Speaker 3: need to think about this, like naturalized sort of citizen thing.
Speaker 3: You don't.
Speaker 2: Kissinger was born in Germany and he reached the highest
Speaker 2: possible office that a person not born here can be,
Speaker 2: in that Secretary of State. And outside of the bombing
Speaker 2: of invasion of layouts and the bombing of Cambodia and
Speaker 2: all kind of other just absolutely horrible things, this man
Speaker 2: was involved in his reputation of being a peace broker.
Speaker 3: I'm big old asterisk next to that word. Piece. Bastards
Speaker 3: has like a six part.
Speaker 2: Episode which is probably the most thorough that you could
Speaker 2: possibly do without like sticking a number two pencil inside
Speaker 2: of your eyeball. But there was a petition to possibly
Speaker 2: let this man run for president because he just demand
Speaker 2: just everybody just loved him somehow. He just got away
Speaker 2: with so much and did so much for the country
Speaker 2: that Foods was like, nah, we rock with him, Like
Speaker 2: I'd vote for him. Another one was on a swarzenager.
Speaker 2: He was our governor, but he can't be president. But
Speaker 2: then they love the governator. He was born in Austria.
Speaker 2: You can't run for president. Now, why do I say that?
Speaker 2: It's because no matter how much people love you, these
Speaker 2: are the rules. There's really not much criteria. It's pretty simple.
Speaker 2: You have to be over thirty five and born here.
Speaker 2: Pretty much it you. You can have felonies, it's fine.
Speaker 2: Over thirty five and born here. You could be currently incarcerated.
Speaker 2: You're a citizen born here over thirty five. Cool, that
Speaker 2: makes you eligible. That's all you gotta do. That's your
Speaker 2: two point o GPA is. All you got to do
Speaker 2: is have season every class, real simple. Do you go
Speaker 2: to our school? Are ya enrolled here? And do you
Speaker 2: got above seeds?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: How talented you are, that's just you gotta be talented.
Speaker 1: And this.
Speaker 2: Oh, but then when there was one more rule added
Speaker 2: later that was in the fourteenth Amendment. It was during reconstruction,
Speaker 2: as in, right after the Civil War, somebody had the
Speaker 2: idea that said, hey, if you're a sworn officer, elected,
Speaker 2: or selected officer in the United States government and you
Speaker 2: engaged in insurrection, you can't hold any civil military or
Speaker 2: elected position. Seems like an obvious law that had to
Speaker 2: do with the Confederates, Nigga, y'all tried to leave. I
Speaker 2: think one could argue that that is that's insurrection, and
Speaker 2: it seems pretty obvious that, like, if you participated in that,
Speaker 2: you probably shouldn't be in the American military no more,
Speaker 2: probably shouldn't probably shouldn't hold any office. I don't think
Speaker 2: we can trust you no more if you engage an insurrection,
Speaker 2: my nigga, Like, I don't know, fam, I don't think
Speaker 2: you can come back from that. It would make sense
Speaker 2: to be like, Okay, look, if you participated in that,
Speaker 2: you can't be the president, all right. I just I
Speaker 2: feel like I feel like there's an obvious jump in logic.
Speaker 2: I say that specifically because it don't specifically say the president.
Speaker 2: More on that incredibly unnecessary distinction later because I don't
Speaker 2: know if you figured your civil war ain't work, but
Speaker 2: if you ran for office and got elected, you could
Speaker 2: form the country into the country you wished it was.
Speaker 2: When you tried to make the Confederates, they was like,
Speaker 2: this seemed like they looked throughout the table, like this
Speaker 2: seemed like an obvious This seemed pretty obvious, right, like
Speaker 2: none of the Confederates.
Speaker 3: They can't be president.
Speaker 2: Right if you was an elected official, an officer of
Speaker 2: the government, and tried to overthrow the government, you can't.
Speaker 3: I can't believe.
Speaker 2: I gotta say this, Like that's what they were saying,
Speaker 2: like like we really got to say this, Yeah, nigga,
Speaker 2: you really got to say this.
Speaker 3: They was like, all right, it's not like.
Speaker 2: In one hundred and fifty years this will come up again,
Speaker 2: but we figure for now, let's just get it on paper.
Speaker 1: Just in case.
Speaker 3: Who knows when this or whatever come up again anyway,
Speaker 3: So slaves they're free now.
Speaker 2: Anyway we can keep subjugating them. Well, how about they
Speaker 2: how about we put them in jail? Sounds good, all right?
Speaker 2: Thirteen the miment's done, so we didn't both fourteen thirty.
Speaker 2: Let's move on that's what was happening around that time.
Speaker 2: So fast forward over a century later, a century and
Speaker 2: a half later, maybe to January sixth, twenty twenty one,
Speaker 2: a day that I mean, I don't think ain't no
Speaker 2: way in the world they could have imagined. If you
Speaker 2: was watching, if you was watching the television series The
Speaker 2: United States of America, you'd have to be an incredibly
Speaker 2: astute story tell to be able to know that the
Speaker 2: plot line was gonna twist all the way to that.
Speaker 2: But you fast forward and then white boys stormed the
Speaker 2: Capitol trying to stop the confirming of a duly elected official,
Speaker 2: and that official would be the President. And they did
Speaker 2: this in the name of the Almighty Donald Trump. That now,
Speaker 2: they may say, some of them may say, well, it's
Speaker 2: because they're trying to protect the institution.
Speaker 3: They believe that the institution has been.
Speaker 2: Corrupted so far that it is now unsavable and the
Speaker 2: only way for us to save it is for the
Speaker 2: people to rise up, which is I don't know, bar
Speaker 2: for Barr, the argument with the Confederates, that was their position,
Speaker 2: They're going to save this idea of the United States
Speaker 2: because the United States have lost their way and they
Speaker 2: are convinced that the man the people chose it was
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Now, why are they convinced that nigga is
Speaker 2: because he told them? That's not because they know, it's
Speaker 2: because he told them that's what it was, so they
Speaker 2: stormed that capitol. Now this, yeah, I'm pretty sure that's
Speaker 2: recap for all. Y'all right, and that was, uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's an insurrection.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know what the hell else to tell you.
Speaker 2: But even if it wasn't that, you wasn't at January sixth, which.
Speaker 3: Has becomes his defense, he was like, Nigga, I wasn't there.
Speaker 2: It's all the things that led up to it, right,
Speaker 2: all of the election fraud, lies, the divinion voting machines,
Speaker 2: the constant flow of like this is rig they cheating,
Speaker 2: and then all the way up to your speech about like, yo,
Speaker 2: we're gonna go. We're going to go over to the
Speaker 2: Capitol and I'll be there with you. You could make a
Speaker 2: pretty decent argument that everything from November eighth to January
Speaker 2: sixth is engaging in insurrection, all the stuff that led
Speaker 2: up to it. One could argue that had you not
Speaker 2: been talking that reckless, it may not have gotten to that. Now,
Speaker 2: you can't quote unquote prove that there's no one to one,
Speaker 2: but I think anybody would. Again, and if you're watching
Speaker 2: the show, you like, well, obviously they there because he
Speaker 2: told him to be, because they wouldn't have even thought
Speaker 2: all this had he not got up there and tell
Speaker 2: him what he called the people down in Atlantin the
Speaker 2: dude down in Georgia when he went over, when they
Speaker 2: had the people in Coffee County, right, all that's happening.
Speaker 3: Now here's where it gets interesting.
Speaker 2: None of those things have been proven in the criminal
Speaker 2: case that he's facing. The federal charges about this as
Speaker 2: in that case is still pending. Won't know what's going
Speaker 2: on with that. But Colorado is saying, wait a minute now,
Speaker 2: I think he might be ineligible. And the people in
Speaker 2: our scenario from the school, the people is his math teacher.
Speaker 2: That's like, what I think about him is irrelevant. This
Speaker 2: nigga not eligible. I don't like you, right, I don't
Speaker 2: like him, But that's not the damn point. The man's not.
Speaker 2: Oh like what you want me to say. Look, you
Speaker 2: gotta be born here, you gotta be over thirty five,
Speaker 2: and you can't engage in insurrection. I feel like this
Speaker 2: real easy, this man, ain't and then and then then
Speaker 2: the Colorado defense team or the college. Yeah, the Trump's
Speaker 2: defense team would be like coach Carter walking in there
Speaker 2: and being like, I think you just a hater. Let
Speaker 2: the people decide you just you just don't want them
Speaker 2: to win. You don't want us to win, because America
Speaker 2: would win if we had our best player up there
Speaker 2: and the math teacher like nigga. What I don't understand
Speaker 2: is what is we missing here? Oh, it's an old
Speaker 2: ass law. You're going back to the really really, Trump's
Speaker 2: like the Confederates. Really, this is a stupid law. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna call the principal. The principal would be the Colorado
Speaker 2: Supreme Court. The Colorado Supreme Court was like, let me
Speaker 2: look at this.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: As much as I hate to get involved into this,
Speaker 2: I do listen. I do not want to be involved
Speaker 2: in this. And I understand that we are setting a serious,
Speaker 2: serious precedent. I know the weight of what I'm saying here.
Speaker 2: I whether it's right on paper, whether I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: a Hall Monitor rule follower, which would mean if I'm
Speaker 2: a Hall Monitor rule follower, this is simple. But we
Speaker 2: know the world ain't don't work like that. You put
Speaker 2: hall monitors in trash cans. I know, y'all, Like I know,
Speaker 2: the bullying thing that we're better humans now. Our kids
Speaker 2: don't do the shit that we used to go through,
Speaker 2: which is good. Okay, Let's stop dissing our children for
Speaker 2: not being the bullies from the eighties and nineties movies
Speaker 2: that they watch now that our kids look and be like, damn,
Speaker 2: y'all really act like that, y'all are barbaric. Niggai You right,
Speaker 2: we were barbaric. It's good. It's good that our kids
Speaker 2: don't do this. That being said, we put niggas in
Speaker 2: trash can like it was. A dude got thrown off
Speaker 2: the second story at my school like it was bad.
Speaker 2: But anyway, you bully rule followers. But at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, it's the rule, right. I mean, there
Speaker 2: are rules about you're not supposed to have anything dangling
Speaker 2: from your rear view mirror.
Speaker 3: That's actually illegal.
Speaker 2: But come on, dude, if the cop pulls you over
Speaker 2: because of something down dangling on your rear view mirror,
Speaker 2: they racist them.
Speaker 3: Niggas just don't like you. He bored.
Speaker 2: There are so many other things you need to worry
Speaker 2: about now, you would say, prop are you equating the
Speaker 2: January sixth insurrection to something as trivial as dangling dice
Speaker 2: from your rear view mirror? No, nigga, I'm not. His
Speaker 2: defense is that's his defense.
Speaker 3: They're like, come number one, that's one of the arguments.
Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 2: The other argument is, like I said that we will
Speaker 2: come back to this. Will it don't say president. What
Speaker 2: it says officer of the government, and the president is
Speaker 2: not specified. And their argument is every time we're talking
Speaker 2: about the president, the founders or the writers of these
Speaker 2: laws specify that role because that role is special. And
Speaker 2: the rebuttal to that is you mean to tell me.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, hold on, hold on, hold.
Speaker 2: On, let me reflect this back to you. You mean
Speaker 2: to tell me that, if you are an originalist, you
Speaker 2: the original a list of the Constitution, that's your position.
Speaker 2: You mean to tell me, as somebody who is an originalist,
Speaker 2: that when these men wrote holding office in the US government,
Speaker 2: officer of the government, that that somehow excluded the president.
Speaker 2: You telling me every other position is ineligible but the president.
Speaker 3: That's what you're saying right now. You saying this law.
Speaker 2: That the office of the presidency is somehow not an
Speaker 2: officer of the US government. That's what you're saying. That's
Speaker 2: your argument. Well you hear how absurd that is, which
Speaker 2: brings them to argument number three, which is the law
Speaker 2: says engaged in insurrection?
Speaker 1: Did he.
Speaker 2: I didn't look. I ain't putting no stone through that window.
Speaker 2: I didn't tell them. They decided that themselves. I wasn't there.
Speaker 3: How could you say I what do you mean? Do
Speaker 3: you mean?
Speaker 2: And even if I did, the president, dude, I'm acting
Speaker 2: under like.
Speaker 3: Presidential like I got.
Speaker 2: Immunity on stuff, right, But besides, I wasn't even there, dude,
Speaker 2: how can you say I participated in.
Speaker 3: Did I engage in insurrection?
Speaker 2: The jury still out on the case literally about me
Speaker 2: participating in insurrection. So since it hasn't been proven in
Speaker 2: any other court, why the hell you get to decide
Speaker 2: that I did it already? And I think of all
Speaker 2: the arguments, that's where they got something is like, well,
Speaker 2: it wasn't proven that I was. You're assuming that that happened.
Speaker 2: And in the in as far as a legal precedence,
Speaker 2: it's got a point. Now as far as a common
Speaker 2: sense perspective, you can't be serious. I mean, it's law
Speaker 2: professors all over Princident, as conservative as conservative can be
Speaker 2: that are like, no, nigga, you did it. You're ineligible.
Speaker 2: Ain't no way in the goddamn world. You don't think
Speaker 2: you did this. Here's here's where. Here's what happens. You
Speaker 2: got so much sway and so much pull in the hood,
Speaker 2: in your hood that you say you got that you
Speaker 2: want us to all believe. And then when they actually
Speaker 2: jump when you tell them to jump, your toy soldier
Speaker 2: jumps when you says jump, they shot when you told
Speaker 2: them to shot, and they ain't asked questions. And when
Speaker 2: they shot. Now you like, oh, I didn't tell them
Speaker 2: to do nothing, nigga, You just told me that you
Speaker 2: run these streets. These people do whatever you tell them
Speaker 2: to do. And then they did it. Now all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, you like, I didn't tell them to do that.
Speaker 3: That wasn't me. I don't know why they did that
Speaker 3: on them.
Speaker 2: No, nigga, you can't have it both ways, cuz they
Speaker 2: move when you move, just like that.
Speaker 1: Corny.
Speaker 2: Now, these are in fact jumps in logic. But Colorado said,
Speaker 2: we see it, and I hate, I hate, I hate,
Speaker 2: I know I know what I'm saying here. I know
Speaker 2: I sound like a rule follower, but I mean, come on, y'all.
Speaker 2: But then you have this other law theory that basically says,
Speaker 2: going back to the y'all, don't sign my check, y'all,
Speaker 2: don't Mary name my chicken episode, which is like, we
Speaker 2: should stay out of this and let the people decide,
Speaker 2: because even if we allow, even if we stop, if
Speaker 2: we stop this, we're damned if we do with damned
Speaker 2: if we don't. If we stop it, then we're interfering
Speaker 2: in the people's right to vote. If we don't stop it,
Speaker 2: then our rules don't mean shit. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 2: where they at. And who's to stop other states from
Speaker 2: thinking the same thing. And then Trump gets to say
Speaker 2: they persecute me, We're not getting a fair shot, just
Speaker 2: like that little nigga get to say, hey, look, hey,
Speaker 2: they did this because they hate no me. They don't
Speaker 2: y'all don't want to win a y'all just mad because
Speaker 2: I'm out here running circles around your little start, your
Speaker 2: little star point guard that nigga know he can't guard me,
Speaker 2: you know, Nigga, I put, I put and when we practice,
Speaker 2: I put thirty up on you that nigga can't guard me.
Speaker 2: None of these other schools can't hold me. Y'all just
Speaker 2: hating ask niggas you don't let it heal, Fuck mann, y'all, man,
Speaker 2: fuck y'all. Anyway, y'all know I'm the best scooper at
Speaker 2: your school. And if you and if you and if
Speaker 2: you don't agree, it's kap. They just don't want to
Speaker 2: y'all just don't want me to be great. Y'all don't
Speaker 2: want to do y'all don't want to be great because
Speaker 2: y'all know if I'm on the court, I'm gonna run
Speaker 2: that court. It could be like, nigga, you have a
Speaker 2: one point two GPA, I don't whatever.
Speaker 3: That's because she hate me. I'm a history teacher. I
Speaker 3: hate her.
Speaker 2: She lying that ain't true. Look, ask the principal. The
Speaker 2: principal cool, not a principle, Like listen, yeah, you gotta
Speaker 2: pass your classes, bro, me fuck all that.
Speaker 3: Right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So eventually you gotta ask the district. In this case,
Speaker 2: the district is a supreme court. The supreme courts, like
Speaker 2: when's the game game March fourth? Bro, we gotta know
Speaker 2: by March fourth, because March fifth is when primary season starts.
Speaker 3: Supreme Court like, we.
Speaker 2: Gotta tell y'all, when we gotta tell y'all if this
Speaker 2: what we think, we gotta tell y'all what we think.
Speaker 3: Damn man, I ain't want to be I ain't want
Speaker 3: to be in all this.
Speaker 2: It's Bush v. Gore all over again. We gotta be
Speaker 2: in the middle of this shit again. You've ever been
Speaker 2: in the middle of something you wished with all your heart?
Speaker 3: You want?
Speaker 2: He was like, I'm just minding my own I'm trying
Speaker 2: to mind my own business. I don't want, Like, don't
Speaker 2: put me in that shit. When the homies break up
Speaker 2: and you friends with both of them, like, look, man,
Speaker 2: don't put me in the middle. Even if you've got
Speaker 2: an opinion, you're like, look, man, I don't want to
Speaker 2: be in the middle of this because the Supreme Court
Speaker 2: understands it. Don't exist in a vacuum no matter what
Speaker 2: they do normally, Like I said, this is what changed normally.
Speaker 2: Fuck with y'all think y'all don't sign my checks, y'all,
Speaker 2: don't marinate my chick. But this this new They like, Okay,
Speaker 2: now this new. We need to decide because Michigan said,
Speaker 2: Nahi Cool. The case was brought to Michigan. Michigan was like, nah,
Speaker 2: we're good, Nai Cool. I don't see no reason why
Speaker 2: he can't be on the ballot. And let the people decide.
Speaker 2: That's the same way of being, like, let the little
Speaker 2: nigga play, and if they beat him, they beat him.
Speaker 2: If y'all lose, y'all lose. If he wes the bed,
Speaker 2: we go to game, he wes the bed, hes the bed.
Speaker 2: But let the people decide. You can't ever say if
Speaker 2: your school, if your team is better than their team,
Speaker 2: if your best player ain't on the field, like we don't,
Speaker 2: we don't know. Let the nigga play now as a side.
Speaker 2: If I was on that team, I was at the
Speaker 2: same practice as you was at. You gotta work just
Speaker 2: as hard as you did.
Speaker 3: Hell.
Speaker 2: I actually the tournament we lost in, I scored more
Speaker 2: points than you, and the last play was designated for me,
Speaker 2: and you shot the fucking ball and we lost. You
Speaker 2: out here blaming nothing, You out here blaming me, But
Speaker 2: none of that matters. I got a three point two GPA.
Speaker 2: Why because you can't play if you don't got a
Speaker 2: two point Oh the other eleven of us got a
Speaker 2: two point.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't understand what the yeah.
Speaker 2: You g Yeah, nobody arguing how good you are? And
Speaker 2: if I arguing that, I'm just saying you're fucking cheaty,
Speaker 2: Like I don't get what is we doing here? So
Speaker 2: if I was a Republican primary candidate, that would be
Speaker 2: my argument. I would be like, I mean, I know
Speaker 2: everybody loving, but I didn't stoke an insurrection. I look,
Speaker 2: I had sense enough to not call the Georgia election board.
Speaker 3: I didn't do that.
Speaker 2: I ain't out here slandering people, just volunteer ass workers.
Speaker 3: I didn't. That wasn't me.
Speaker 2: I followed the rules. I'm over thirty five, I'm born here,
Speaker 2: and I did not engage in insurrection. And you know
Speaker 2: the worst part about this is this is what I
Speaker 2: would say if I was a Republican candidate. On this
Speaker 2: basketball team, follow my metaphor is he's not even that good.
Speaker 2: This nigga really came who he traveled. Every time every
Speaker 2: time he pulled up to shoot, he travel This nigga
Speaker 2: plays no defense like he's not.
Speaker 3: He's not that good.
Speaker 2: I don't understand why y'all love him because you can
Speaker 2: dunk like.
Speaker 3: I don't get it.
Speaker 2: He's not a good basketball player. What is we talking about? Like,
Speaker 2: if I was a Republican, that would be my thing.
Speaker 2: The only problem is that make you look like a
Speaker 2: dick to the rest of the world. And the world
Speaker 2: is then the school as in the Republican part what
Speaker 2: you're supposed to do. And I think my favorite part
Speaker 2: of this, like I said, is the school district. Like
Speaker 2: will I'm will think about it. It's like nigga, you
Speaker 2: you'll think about it. I feel like we need to
Speaker 2: know this, don't you think this is a little bit important.
Speaker 2: We need to know if like what is the point
Speaker 2: They're like, they're just gonna vote him on anyway. They're
Speaker 2: just gonna people are just gonna they're gonna write them
Speaker 2: in any way out. You got to say something with
Speaker 2: enough time for the rest of the states. Who if
Speaker 2: the people of that state decide they want to bring
Speaker 2: this to their state courts, they need to know if
Speaker 2: if they can, because it might be a waste of
Speaker 2: air time, might be a waste of everybody else's time.
Speaker 2: Who want to vote for it the Supreme Court. If
Speaker 2: y'all decide, y'all, it's all good. Let the man run.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: And here's why that's so tricky.
Speaker 2: They would have to argue that his role in January
Speaker 2: sixth and all the events leading up to it don't
Speaker 2: rise to engaging an insurrection. The only problem is that's
Speaker 2: a pending court case. So if they make that call
Speaker 2: before this case, you just you've just undermined that case.
Speaker 2: That means that case is done. That means he gets
Speaker 2: to walk in and be like, well, the Supreme Court
Speaker 2: said I'm eligible because I didn't participate in this, So
Speaker 2: you need to drop all the rest of your charges.
Speaker 2: The other federal charges that are he's facing around how
Speaker 2: you gotta drop them. If they say, oh, yeah, it's cool,
Speaker 2: he could be on the ballot. If they say now
Speaker 2: he can't be on the ballot, you've also.
Speaker 3: Undermined that court case.
Speaker 2: But that court case, they're like, you're not gonna push
Speaker 2: me to move any faster than I need to move.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna move at the speed I want to move. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Trump wants to move slow, the prosecution wants them to
Speaker 2: move fast. They like, we're gonna move at the pace
Speaker 2: we need to move. We need to make sure we
Speaker 2: got this case and the case is right at the
Speaker 2: end of the day. You know what all this does.
Speaker 2: It ends democracy as we know it.
Speaker 3: Oh, nigga, why are you talking?
Speaker 2: No? Seriously, Like, think about what's happening here. If they
Speaker 2: make a move either way, you're interfering in a pending case.
Speaker 3: If the pending case.
Speaker 2: Makes whatever decision it makes, then the Supreme Court ruling
Speaker 2: about this don't matter because they've already made the case
Speaker 2: for it. If you do nothing and then all of
Speaker 2: it happens later, it doesn't matter because it's too late.
Speaker 2: Or every state decides who they're allowing to be on there.
Speaker 2: And if this nigga gets on these gets only on
Speaker 2: some of the primary ballots and others he's ruled out of,
Speaker 2: and then he loses his primary election, we're I mean,
Speaker 2: we're back at the insurrection again, because he could always
Speaker 2: argue I was cheated out of my position. Y'all didn't
Speaker 2: y'all didn't let me run. If he does it and
Speaker 2: gets on, oh he's complete. If this nigga is removed
Speaker 2: from states primaries and still wins the primary, bro, then
Speaker 2: we looking at it. We're gonna be looking at a
Speaker 2: ninth Trump term because you can't tell him nothing after
Speaker 2: that the courts can do nothing. Let's just say he
Speaker 2: wins and then the Supreme Court says, no, he's not eligible.
Speaker 3: What difference does it make. Then?
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is like, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2: That's just the political arguments. We haven't even talking about
Speaker 2: the culture yet, which we could sum up pretty easy.
Speaker 3: Now, I want y'all to think about this.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming you're a full grown adult listening to the show,
Speaker 2: so at least the teenager. Do you remember the day.
Speaker 2: Maybe there wasn't a moment, but maybe it was like
Speaker 2: a slow roll into I know, I remember this day
Speaker 2: because my parents made it pretty clear to me when
Speaker 2: you realized authority your parents, they can't make you do anything,
Speaker 2: and the rules around keeping your room clean, doing the
Speaker 2: dishes before you go to bed, or curfew was all
Speaker 2: just that's just what they decided, and you don't have
Speaker 2: to do anything if you're willing to accept the consequences,
Speaker 2: and you could even fight the consequences, like if your
Speaker 2: parents are like you're grounded, you could be like Nigga,
Speaker 2: I leave when I feel like it. I mean, what
Speaker 2: do you mean You're gonna tie me to the wall,
Speaker 2: will lock the door lock it. Hopefully you weren't that
Speaker 2: disrespectful to your parents and you understood that they loved you.
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully your parents loved you.
Speaker 2: But the point I'm saying is when you realize, like, yo,
Speaker 2: these are just these are just agreements and I ain't gotta.
Speaker 3: I don't have to follow them. So you and you
Speaker 3: really can't do shit now.
Speaker 2: Again, Thank the Lord, we are more involved than our
Speaker 2: parents because had I had that attitude that they would
Speaker 2: beat the brakes off me, it would be a physical problem.
Speaker 2: There's something that comes with like dad strength that like,
Speaker 2: I don't care how owe that nigga is, he will
Speaker 2: beat your ass.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know, man, Like it's just
Speaker 3: so for me.
Speaker 2: It was a little different if I was willing to
Speaker 2: scrap with my dad, which I wasn't because I knew
Speaker 2: what it was. If you willing to whatever, nigga, you ain't,
Speaker 2: you can't make me do anything. I have to agree
Speaker 2: to it. So what I'm saying is culturally, you finally
Speaker 2: be like, oh, the rules don't mean nothing. If this
Speaker 2: nigga can get away with this, then the rules don't
Speaker 2: mean nothing. Now, if you're a Trump supporter, if you like,
Speaker 2: if the courts can get away with this, then your
Speaker 2: court then democracy's bullshit. Then we really don't have a
Speaker 2: choice because you could just interfere when you just don't.
Speaker 3: Like the guy.
Speaker 2: That's your position if you're over there, because you're ignoring
Speaker 2: the obvious, which is no, this nigga did do the
Speaker 2: insurrection like he did. Now, if you're on, if you're
Speaker 2: a Trump supporter and you're like, no, he did the insurrection,
Speaker 2: then your position is like I said, man, come on,
Speaker 2: come on, but he's dope. We could be winners. You
Speaker 2: want these other blowhards to win. I mean, what do
Speaker 2: you want, President DeSantis? What do you guys want? Second
Speaker 2: place and third place trophies? The ninety year old wet
Speaker 2: noodle bike? Is that what you guys want? Come on,
Speaker 2: we did a winner. Relax. Rules are made to be broken,
Speaker 2: and besides, he was justified. It was actually stolen from him.
Speaker 2: That was one could argue that was the only thils
Speaker 2: Eli right thing to do. I mean, what either way,
Speaker 2: that niggas ineligible. The question is you're gonna let him
Speaker 2: play or not? Because his history teacher ain't changing her grades. No, nigga,
Speaker 2: you failed my class math teach ain't changing its grade either.
Speaker 2: You've failed my class. Science teacher like it science teagt
Speaker 2: you're like E cool with me.
