This is the year, 2 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: and hopefully you understand that the absolute farce that you're elected. 3 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: Officials in their campaigning are attempting to argue the merits 4 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: of a particular topic or idea or principle, um or 5 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: this idea that they're gonna make these sweeping promises, and 6 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: you actually expect these promises to come true. Oh or 7 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: even if various promises are a good idea or not. 8 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: You know, if you run on something as a as 9 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: a voter, you could be like, look, do what you 10 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: said you was gonna do, and I'm an apply to press. 11 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: You shouldn't open your mouth and said it if you 12 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: didn't either way, I hope that that you know theater, 13 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: you understand that that's theater, that that's not what the 14 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: hell going on.

But at the same time, there's this 206 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: part of that life that's like, no, everything is worth 207 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: my time. All of this is a challenge. I don't 208 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: you need to understand that I am not the one 209 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: the what you and I would think is so petty. 210 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: It's like that's because we're not them, you understand I'm saying. 211 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: I was listening to this interview about it's the it's 212 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: the clubhouse stuff with with you know. Now, if you're 213 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: not in this, don't even worry about it. But like 214 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: I picked my head in every once in a while 215 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: to hear some of the like clubhouse conversations with like 216 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: Whack One Hunted and you know, Jim Jones and just 217 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: some real like now if you want to know, like 218 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: real like hood politics in its literal sense, like these 219 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: are the politics among gangsters, which is not what this 220 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: show is obviously, you know what I'm saying, But like 221 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: you want like that's that that's a lot of like 222 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: hood business that like I just gave you a vocabulary 223 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: term hood business is is stuff that you just have 224 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 1: to understand, which might apply today. It's stuff you just 225 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: may have to understand. You'll just never know. There are 226 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: things that are happening among these said sees, you know, 227 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: obvious rival gangs, just reasons that we'll just never know 228 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: because this hood business. You know, here's an example. I 229 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: live in the neighborhood. Remember I live with the Vatos. 230 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: I live in the neighborhood where the set of my 231 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: neighborhood doesn't pay taxes. I don't know why. Maybe it's 232 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: some jail stuff. No one's gonna tell me. It's just 233 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: they look about those they had a rules, and I 234 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: just happen to live in the neighborhood that I don't know. 235 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: They just don't That's what I'm saying. You're gonna have 236 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: to use your antennas and kind of figure out what's happening, 237 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: or just be like it is what it is, I'm 238 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: gonna act accordingly, which in a lot of ways really 239 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: applies to the politics that we have. Like there are 240 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: things we're just never really going to know what some 241 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: of these politicians decide behind closed doors unless you're in there. 242 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: You're just not gonna know. The point is you just 243 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: have to act accordingly. I think there are positions and 244 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: ideas which I'm gonna get too later. There are positions 245 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: and stances and feelings that Republicans and Democrats might actually feel. Uh, 246 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna ever say it out loud. You're not gonna 247 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: have to know, because that's whole business why certain things 248 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: get through and don't get those happens. You ain't gonna 249 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: know unless you're there. You know, that's just that's just reality. 250 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: But the point is, like, which is the concept of 251 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: my show is like, even though we don't know, we 252 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: have to use what we do know to figure out 253 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: what we don't know and make our moves accordingly. If 254 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: me and you're gonna survive anyway. So Charleston White, he's um, 255 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: you know, a hoods to from from Dallas was in 256 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: the room with Whack one Hunted and they were talking 257 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: about the death of this guy's slim for Hunted. Now, 258 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: y'all may not know who any of these people are. 259 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: Knowing who they are is not the point. Okay, that's 260 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: not the point I'm bringing up right now. The point 261 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm bringing up right now is the code that these 262 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: people live by. When you just chose violence, this is 263 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: who we are. Everything is a disc it's all a war, right, 264 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: Johnston was talking about when Slim passed away. Now why 265 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: Slim died is the hood business. So we're back to 266 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: that like again, but that's not the point. Slim he 267 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: was rapper, he was an artist, but he was absolutely duman. 268 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: He was a blood like it is what it is. 269 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: So he was like, look, Charleston was like, look, Slim died, 270 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: fucking whatever, nigger, that's a gangster, you know what I'm saying. 271 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: That's the answer. As a gangster, we know we signed 272 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: up for. And Whack was like, wait, hold up, like 273 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: you're just gonna talk about like you know, alreally like that, 274 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: Like do you understand how l a gangs work? Like 275 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: you can't just be he was, and he was basically 276 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: going like, he's a man first, you know what I'm saying. 277 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: And Charleston was like, no, he's a gangster first. He 278 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: put himself out there like this and he died in 279 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: the streets because he knows what he signed up for. 280 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: And if I'm a gangster, and if you're a gangster, 281 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: you need to just be like he's another gangster. Fuck him. 282 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: It don't matter. Niggas die every day. Told you about that. 283 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: Niggas die every day. It don't make no sense to me. 284 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: Now they're both of these men are adults now, so 285 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: they were like, well listen, um, I found out his 286 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: name is Vincent, and you know, we're growing up. So 287 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: now we survived a lot of stuff we went through. 288 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: So you know what I'm saying, Well, he's man, and 289 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: it's a tragedy that Vincent passed. You know, he's got 290 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: a family. You know what I'm saying, that's that's that's 291 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: a tragedy. But Slim fol hunted nigga, I don't care, 292 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: you know. And Whack was like, uh, you're not gonna talk. 293 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: You're not gonna come to l A and talk like that, 294 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: and then it devolved into something else. But the point 295 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: I'm trying to make is it does not matter the humanity, 296 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: the logic, it doesn't matter. We tell is violence. It 297 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: is what it is. This is the life we stepped into. 298 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: Everything's a war. Now. Of course, there are exceptions to 299 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: this rule. There's nowhere in the world. I mean, come on, guys, 300 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: like you know I know this firsthand. Second and third hand, 301 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: when you're in the back seat of that car about 302 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: to bust this mission, when somebody turned the corner and 303 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: they say, hey day, they go right there, you know 304 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And the kids sitting next to you 305 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: pull pull a heater out of his backpack. You know 306 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. There's a part of you that's like, 307 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: there's nowhere in the world. Five out of five of 308 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: y'all are like nigg and less go. Somebody in that 309 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 1: car is like, man, I wish I could be anywhere 310 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: but here. Somebody scared. Come on, man, y'r whole set 311 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: and not scared. Somebody is thinking now listen. They will 312 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: never ever ever say this out loud ever. Ain't gonna 313 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: tell nobody. No one would ever notice. But when nobody 314 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: around you know what I'm saying in the back of 315 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: their minds, sometimes in the front of their minds, but 316 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: it's gonna never come out of their mouth that it's like, man, 317 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: I wish I was not here. I've made some choices. 318 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,719 Speaker 1: Uh that has left. I'm gonna live with my choices. 319 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: It is what it is. But it is way more 320 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: hurtful to myself to admit this then to rather just 321 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: toe a line. I know what I signed up for. 322 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: These are my brothers.

Out of two hundred or so Republicans, 409 00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: all of them are about it like that. Now there's 410 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: some hood business going on. There's people behind the scenes 411 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: that are like, look, this is madness. They tried to 412 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: kill us all this man Trump is crazy. He got 413 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: a death grip, but he got a death grip on earth. 414 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: I mean what I'm gonna say. They're going with they 415 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: they remember you go with the Boss going to set. 416 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: They was like, well, look the boss still hold the set. 417 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I don't know how 418 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: you doing it, but he's doing it. And they're like nah. 419 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: They they they're scared. They're scared that if they actually 420 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: say something it's even worse for him. That's why they're 421 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: not saying nothing. That's why you're not showing he can't 422 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: show up even though you think that like this is stupid. 423 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,959 Speaker 1: Look of course, I mean like dog like we almost 424 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: like you're kidding me, But they're like, nah, man, like 425 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna aren't gonna go to that, You're crazy. 426 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: M hm. Why that seems absurd to us is because well, 427 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, we're civilians. We and we're not signed. We 428 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: don't live by that code. That's the code, and you 429 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: and it's and it's clear they chose violence. Everything is 430 00:25:11,640 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: a culture ward h M. Now is that violence all theater? 431 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, because there is. According to an IPSOS poll, 432 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: fewer than one half of Republicans actually accept the elections 433 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: that think that the Joe Biden's election was legitimate. And 434 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: so they still don't believe that. They actually believe, despite 435 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: any evidence otherwise, that yeah, that this election was stolen. 436 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: It's not he's not a legitimate president. So if you 437 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: really actually truly believe that your only choices violence, then 438 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: everything after this, everything after that point is fair game 439 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: is continual disrespect. I mean, that's why you now of course, 440 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: there are those that know that this is theater and 441 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: are like, I'm just gonna play the game. There are 442 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: those that actually buy in, But the point is anything 443 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: after that is like, oh, we'd I mean, either way 444 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: at war? You know. According to the same if so 445 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: is pulled, two thirds of America agree that democracy is 446 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: at risk, just for opposite reasons. One of us. One 447 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: side believes that, uh, I mean somebody storming the Capitol 448 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: to try to overturn a duly elected president and this 449 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: is crazy, right. Others believe that, like this election was 450 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: legitimately stolen. I mean, if this is what you think, y'all, 451 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: I mean, how else you're gonna solve it? They feel like, well, 452 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: we tried to go the civil route. We tried it, 453 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: and y'all cheated. I'm choosing violence now. That's that's That's 454 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: what I mean, that's their choice. I everything is a 455 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,239 Speaker 1: culture war, all of it. Everything. That's why they talk 456 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: about cancel culture all the time, and just you know, 457 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: everything is a war no matter how reasonable or unreasonable 458 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: it is. They've chosen to stay dangerous, don't come in 459 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: our or Now, what do you expect in these mid 460 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: term elections? I expect the Democrats gonna get their ass beat. 461 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get the shell lacking of their life. 462 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: I think because one, they still haven't been able to 463 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: tow the line the way that the Republicans have that 464 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: they got everybody and check. I think that they still 465 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: can't agree on what they want to do. The Democrats, 466 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: I think that they're not shooters. At the end of 467 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: the day, that has to answer. They're not shooters. Republicans 468 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: are shooters. They may shoot all willy nilly, but their shooters. 469 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: How do you deal with somebody that's a shooter? Well, 470 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I'm look, that's hood business. 471 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: You have said, there's something that they want that this violence, 472 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: this this disrespect. There is a way to satiate that disrespect. 473 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: I think I talked about this before, Like there's times 474 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: that when you're dealing with somebody super volatile and very dangerous, 475 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: one thing you gotta do is just cut to like, Okay, 476 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: what can we do what you need from me? O G? Yeah? 477 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: And sometimes that work. Sometimes sometimes that other O G 478 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: on the other side reads that as weakness, that like, oh, 479 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: you're trying to reason, you don't want a war, you 480 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: ain't prepare for a war. Okay, Oh we find offen 481 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: a slay, y'all. There's something that read it like that, 482 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: Others that be like, huh, this is what I need. 483 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: You know I've said. And if there's a way you 484 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: can go behind closed doors and get them what they need, 485 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: that's a different story.
