1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: A media. I learned a term this weekend called the 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: bro economy, which I think it's perfect. It consists of 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: sports betting, crypto, and day trading, and like damn, like 4 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: that is such a perfect description of those three things 5 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: because I still think of like like crypto bros, and 6 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: then like the GameStop thing, like it's like dudes and 7 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: every dude. I know that everybody I know that day 8 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: trades is a dude. Now. I think it would be 9 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: interesting to add something like fantasy leagues as far as 10 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: like sports betting and stuff. But I will say this, 11 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: of the top, I don't know ten most important women 12 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: in my life. Obviously you know where the pinnacle is. 13 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: I'd say two out of that list play fantasy sports 14 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: and are in their own leagues and bet on games. 15 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: One of my one of which is my mom. She 16 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: is a Steelers fan for some reason. But uh oh man. 17 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: She used to text me when tom Brady was playing. 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: She would say, I put the whammy on tom Brady. 19 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: Whoop on tom Brady. She just did not like tom Brady. 20 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 1: She said, I put the whammy on him, That's why 21 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: he lost. So this last Sunday, I mean, she was 22 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: like she batted a thousand. She was she was perfect, 23 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: got all her picks. I don't know if she got 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: all her points spreads, but I know she got all 25 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: her picks. Uh. Doctor Alma, my wife used to she 26 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: used to bet on Uh. She used to have her 27 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: brackets from March Madness, you know, and she won when 28 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: she used to do it. She won every year that 29 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: she did it. And of course the Queen of cool Zone. 30 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if she knows. I think I just 31 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: dubbed her that Sophie the Queen of cool Zone. She 32 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: she is our basketball nut and yeah, her fantasy team. 33 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: I'd like, I dare anybody to go head up with 34 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: Sophie and basketball stats, specifically Lakers. As you know, me, 35 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: her and Ian have our Lakers group text Miles sometimes 36 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: when Miles got like a tiny baby, so he can't 37 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: really participate like like he might have wanted to when 38 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: he was sans a toddler. But that being said, one 39 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: of the most important, one of the most wonderful times 40 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: of the year, one of two. I would argue, if 41 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: you're in the specifically basketball with football, it would be 42 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: you know the combine, you know, yeah, the combine when 43 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: you're looking at the new recruits and you see her, 44 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: you know how fast you could run your forty yards. 45 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: But for basketball, it's there's Summer League, which is so fun. 46 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: But Summer League is really set up because of really 47 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: the greatest day in the NBA, and it's Draft Day. 48 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: Draft season is just it's just so fun. Now. Granted, 49 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: a lot of times you have like the free agencies, 50 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: you have all these different trade agreements and this and this, 51 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: But if there is any parallel to the drama and 52 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: entertainment and narratives of it, all that would come from 53 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: like a WWE. The closest comparison the Dell Novela of 54 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: basketball is draft season. You're watching kids come up from college, 55 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: come up from basketball. You're looking at your team, how 56 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: well your team did last year, trying to figure out 57 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: who gets what, who's gonna go where you want to 58 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: know who's gonna come go in the lottery, in the 59 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: first round of the draft. And it's just so exciting. 60 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: But anybody who's been following the drafts for long enough 61 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: knows that with all that excitement, all the group techs 62 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: you're doing, all the stuff you send it to the 63 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: these all the arguments at the at the dice game, 64 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: all the arguments you know at the barbershop, you know, 65 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: or at least you should know. Don't buy the jersey yet, 66 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: because it's a whole lot of shuffling going around. It's 67 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: a whole lot of willing and dealing and back end 68 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: stuff that there's no way for you to know about 69 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: unless you are completely tapped in. So right now you 70 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: should know. This is the season for politics of the 71 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: NBA draft. Hood politics, y'all. 72 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: But fors but looking like this, but look, it's like this, 73 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: bulikas like this. 74 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: Okay, it's been quite a gang bang week.

Nobody 97 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: saw anything, which is funny because everybody saw everything. New 98 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: York knew the rules, and then the rest of America 99 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: was treating his mug like it was when Clean Elizabeth died. 100 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: Talking about Lizzie's in the box. You know what I'm saying. 101 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: He was like, listen, resting, pissed, my nigga, you shouldn't 102 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: have taken that job. That's what the most of America 103 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: was saying. But we was conflicted right, because it was 104 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: the same conflict with Queen Elizabeth died, where it was like, yes, yes, 105 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: that's somebody's grandma, that's somebody's mother, and I'm sure she 106 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: is loved by her family, and yes, death is a tragedy. However, 107 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: niggas die every day. The way that the raping, pillaging 108 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: of my ancestors is set up, the way the erasure 109 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: of my culture is set up.

That was a wild situation. Turns out 115 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: Homie is radical, but like radical in the sense that like, 116 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 1: these corporations must die, my nigga. The original early reporting says, 117 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: Lejlmie just does not like how the healthcare system works. 118 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: He had a person that was in hospice care and 119 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: he ain't like how they treated him. So he was like, 120 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm just going to murder the CEO. Now, obviously, CEOs 121 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: are like dandelion weeds.

So I'm like, 170 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: I ain't let look, I got too many people to 171 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: deport my nigga. Like, I ain't got nothing. I ain't 172 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: got no time for y'all's foolishness. We got our own foolishness. 173 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: Oh lord, all right, back to the show like this. Now, 174 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: I know you've seen all these alerts, all these breaking 175 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: news stories about who Trump's picks are, and then obviously 176 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: the most prominent ones like the Matt Gates of the world, 177 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: you know who backed out because I mean, how you 178 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: can be too messy for Trump is beyond me. Like, 179 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: that's a messy brother if he too messy for Trump. Anyway, 180 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: those are the big names now, I would like to 181 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: remind you that you know, Kobe Bryant, the lifelong Laker, 182 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: wasn't drafted to the Lakers. He was actually thirteenth pick overall, 183 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: and he was drafted to the Charlotte Hornets. So for 184 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: like an hour he was actually a Hornets. Think about 185 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: how different history would be. He was traded for Vlade Devoks, 186 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: which eventually came back to the Lakers. But you'd have 187 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: to know all that and really be into sports to 188 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: know these things. Now, the question one would ask is, like, 189 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: how do all these deals get set up? You may 190 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: remember recently that bron figured out how to get his son, 191 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: who is a g leaguer at best, onto the Lakers 192 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: to make history. Now, obviously, I'm completely here for black 193 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: people practicing nepotism. I'm here for it because, I mean, 194 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: the Bus family owns the Lakers, and it was because 195 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: Jerry wanted to make sure his kids got the team. Now, 196 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: the difference between Jerry and most white people that practiced 197 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: this type of nepotism is they really had to earn it. Now, 198 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: they also had to earn his love. But either way, 199 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm all for that. But that being said, it's a 200 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: lot of stuff that don't make the news that makes 201 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: this stuff happen. It's a lot of wheels and wheeling 202 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: and dealing behind the scenes. Who gets how much money 203 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: for what? And really the player has not really the 204 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: ultimate say, which is kind of crazy. You know what 205 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: I'm saying, the agent, you know, the team, because if 206 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: a team decides they're going to trade you on no 207 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: matter how much you want to stay there, you can't 208 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: stay there because you have to understand the NBA is 209 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: its own institution. Of course, there are owners of teams 210 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but like it's they're their own institution, 211 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: and the commissioner of the NBA is making sure that 212 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: the entirety of the league stays interesting. You can block trades, 213 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: which is what happened which I think broke the Lakers 214 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: when Chris Paul trade got blocked in twenty twelve. The 215 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: point is, don't buy your jerseys just yet. You gotta wait. 216 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: It's too early. It's too early in draft season. And 217 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: a lot of times you might settle with the drafts 218 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: and then go to summer league and then you got 219 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: somebody that's, like you know, on the bubble that probably 220 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: ain't gonna make the team. This is the only time 221 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: they gonna get this. You didn't go in the early rounds. 222 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: You didn't. You didn't You wasn't in the first, second, 223 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: or third round for us to even know who you 224 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: were or even track your career. You might sometimes just 225 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: be a kid playing that was doing door dash, that 226 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: could just really hoop and had a chance to maybe 227 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: try out for one of the bush leagues of the team, 228 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: and then they bring you into the summer league to 229 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: see if you could really run with the big boys. 230 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: And as you notice, if you follow basketball in the 231 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: summer league, your stars don't really play because they already 232 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: on the team. You're trying to see, you see who's 233 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: gonna continue on the team or who gonna make the team. 234 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: And every once in a while a star is born 235 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: because that door dash kid happened to be Austin Reeves. Aar. Now, 236 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: if you and of basketball, that's one of the coldest 237 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: white boys. See Ian got this theory. Ian, that's our 238 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: executive producer over here at cools One, which I totally 239 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: agree with. The Lakers have this gift of selecting really 240 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: cold white boys like and when you add that to 241 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: Sophie's theory, which is we win the only time we 242 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: win our championships. Part of the pieces that you need 243 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: is a cold white boy. And I mean you got 244 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: to go back to Jerry West, I mean Kurt Rambis, 245 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: like Power Gasol, Vlad Devoks. You need your white boy. 246 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: And once you get your white boy, oh man, now 247 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: we got I remember Caruso. I'm still mad we miss 248 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: the Caruso. Now we got west Side, Connect Gang, Connect Gang, 249 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: and we got ar fifteen. Now. I don't know when 250 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: this became a sports pod, but the point I'm trying 251 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: to make is Trump is picking his captains and this 252 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: is just draft season. So don't get too excited. Now, 253 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: let's get a little more deeper into it next. All right, 254 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: here we go. We're back now to try to get 255 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: into the brain of the who and why and how 256 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: you get on this list is at this point something 257 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: incredibly different than the rest of US history because Trump is, 258 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: for what it's worth, a brand new animal in this 259 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: particular office. It's not like he's the first person to 260 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: be like him. He's just the first person to be 261 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: like to become president in America. Now, why I say 262 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:12,479 Speaker 1: that is obviously very obvious points wildly, but also means 263 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: that a lot of art what you haven't figured out 264 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: by now, then I don't know what you're not watching. 265 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: A lot of our normal tools of interpretation, prediction, and 266 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: analysis have had to get retooled and thrown out the window. 267 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: But that's because you have to just accept the obvious. 268 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to just accept what things are like. 269 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: For example, if you with a significant other and all 270 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: the signs about this significant other is showing that this 271 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: significant other is probably just not into you, then listen, 272 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: they probably just not into you. It is what it is. 273 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: And the quicker you just accept it for being what 274 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: it is, the better you gonna be, because then you 275 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: know how to move. Listen. The only complications about the 276 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: war in Palestine is because use you just don't want 277 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: to admit what you actually see, this is an ethnic cleansing. 278 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: The only complication about the foundation of America is if 279 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: you just don't want to accept what you saw, which 280 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: is that was an ethnic cleansing. Like that's they were 281 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: just you just trying to like and you could dance, 282 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: you could put lipstick on a pig, you could, you could, 283 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: you could cover that up as much as you want, 284 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: but the reality is it's what is what it looks like, 285 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: and sometimes you just have to accept that things are 286 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 1: just what they look like. Now. They not always what 287 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: they look like, but sometimes they absolutely are. Now. What 288 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: you should probably already know too, is of what we know, 289 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: there is so much we don't. It's like our understanding 290 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: of the universe in general. The love you know, the 291 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: the now it's a cliche. The more you learn, the 292 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: less you know. So the more you learn about really 293 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: how this thing works, the more you realize the amount 294 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: of things that you don't know. And it's not so 295 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: much that it's unknowable. It's just you ain't at the table, 296 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: you ain't in the group text, you know. And if 297 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: they do their jobs, then the stuff that gets to 298 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: the media is kind of purposeful, like it's not leaking. 299 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: It's like creating a narrative here. Now with basketball, there's 300 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: two things going on, right and I'm gonna bring this 301 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: parallel into politics of it all in a second, But it's, 302 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, fifty percent business as far as like you 303 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: have a good team, you sell tickets, you sell tickets, 304 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: you sell merch, you sell merch, you get sponsors, but 305 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: you gotta win, Like none of it matters. If you're 306 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: not winning, you messing with your pocket. You're not winning. Now, 307 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: there's another wrinkle to that as far as like winning. 308 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: But even if you if you have a star, like 309 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: you get the biggest name, like say, for example, during 310 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: the Ball Brothers during that time, they were the biggest names, 311 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: but they wasn't winning. So even though you might have 312 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: a star, if you're not winning, you're really not gonna 313 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: make the bread that you need to make because they 314 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: only gonna people can only gonna go watch a star 315 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: lose once or twice. You gotta start winning. So there's 316 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: the basketball of it all, the strategy that specifically for 317 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: that particular team, But then there's also the entertainment value 318 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: in the industry as a whole, the NBA as a whole, 319 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: that says, I want to keep you engaged in this 320 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: narrative even while we not playing, because think about it, 321 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: we're talking about the NBA while the season's over. So 322 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: if you're doing it while the season's over, you're still 323 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: selling ads because they air the NBA Draft, So you're 324 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: selling ads, you're getting all the social media press, you're 325 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: taking a lot of air oxygen out of just the 326 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: media circus in general. Rule you your players are now 327 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: getting deals, like there's so much money to be made 328 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: if I keep you involved in the narrative. And how 329 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: I keep you involved in the narrative is the same 330 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: way you get somebody to go from episode three to 331 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: episode four is I give you a reason to keep 332 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: paying attention. But I have to like slow leak that 333 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: I can't tell you the whole story. And then sometimes 334 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: because again at the end of the day, we're watching 335 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: people do business. You got to keep your cards to yourself, right, 336 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: I can't show you my cards, So I'm not going 337 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: to tell the press cause I might be like, you 338 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like if you a player and 339 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: you know you got you in a bidding war between 340 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: you know, Milwaukee and you know the Knicks, you might 341 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: secretly be like, man, I'm talking to like my homeboy 342 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: who's on the Knicks. I'm talking to his agent. He's 343 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: in the ear this person to like, you know, make 344 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: make sure that my deal go through. So I'm really 345 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: just leveraging Milwaukee to make sure that New York pays 346 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: me more. So there it's a gainsmanship going on here 347 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: that is happening at the same time that the for 348 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: profit companies themselves are working out to make sure that 349 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: every that they make money. Also following me, now, politics 350 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: is no different. Now check this out. Just as you 351 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: have players that can move around and coaches, and when 352 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: coaches put together their staff, right, the staff, the coaching 353 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: staff still needs to be approved by you know, the owners, right, 354 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: But they put together their staff, they agreed on their contracts. 355 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: They make those things work, just like the players you 356 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: put your roster together. But then there are also people 357 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: there that don't have to be approved. They're just hired, 358 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: like your physical trainer, your medical your support staff that 359 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: doesn't have to go through any that's just a job. 360 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: And no matter who's the coach, this is their job. 361 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: It's also the same in politics. Now, what I was 362 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: going to do today was run through the entire list 363 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: of people that Trump has announced to be in his cabinet. 364 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: But that sounds like a twenty twenty five issue. I'm 365 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: about ready to slap this laptop closed and be like 366 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: this sounds like it's we're almost in the let's circle 367 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: back after the holiday season. We are almost there. But 368 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: also it's the point I'm making with this episode, don't 369 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: buy the jerseys yet. None of these people are confirmed 370 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: or are going to guarantee to be confirmed, which is normal. 371 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: But what's even more wild is the turnover rate that 372 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: Trump often has. Do you know how many chiefs of 373 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: staff Trump went through the first time? Bruh went through 374 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: four chiefs of staff, which is kind of wild. So 375 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: they had a new boss every year. Like that's got 376 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: a little difficult when you look at his turnover rate. Right, Listen, 377 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: every president has a turnover rate, right and Brookings dot edu. 378 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: So the Brookings Institute did a study of the last 379 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 1: few presidents in their turnover rate, which again is normal 380 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: in year one, year two, year three, and year four 381 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: and then the total turnover. So Reagan had first year 382 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: seventeen percent turnover meaning people who get hired and fired 383 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: right second year forty percent. Now there is quite an 384 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: understanding as to what was going on. Then that's you know, stagflation, Reaganomics, stuff, 385 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: Iran Contra, all that stuff. Right then he had thirteen 386 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: percent the third year, and then the fourth year was 387 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: eight percent. He had a total of seventy eight percent 388 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: turnover rate, right, which is pretty high. Bush Senior, Daddy 389 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: Bush had sixty six overall is his highest was thirty 390 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: two percent one year. Right, let's see who else had 391 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: a high one. Clinton. You know, we'll get off the 392 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: Republicans for a little bit. Clinton had a seventy four 393 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: percent turnover rate, right, Obama had seventy one percent. Bush 394 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: had sixty three. Trump had a ninety two percent turnover rate. 395 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: This man almost fired literally one hundred percent. This man 396 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: almost this man almost fired his whole staff. Now I'm 397 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: a grant him the fact that he had never done 398 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: this before. He had only been in a private sector, 399 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: he never ran a government, so give him that. However, Wow, 400 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: ninety two percent. Now he brags about that. He's like, look, 401 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: if you ain't with it, you out, which says to me, 402 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: for somebody that values loyalty, you show don't give it. 403 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, draw your own conclusions with that. 404 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: But all that to say, as these lists are dropping, Bro, 405 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: they don't stay how long with Steve Bannon around you? 406 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: Like another thing you need to understand about Trump. That's 407 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: what I mean by the rules have changed. That type 408 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: of alpha, whatever version of alpha he has, can't be 409 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: in the presence of another alpha like which to me 410 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: is like not very alpha, But for him, that's why 411 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: alphas don't last around him? Bannon gone, you know what 412 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like he let that man let Paul Manniford 413 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: go to jail. You feel me? He let Roger Stone 414 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: go to jail and then got him pardoned so he 415 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: could remain a bous that man, don't he don't listen? 416 00:27:44,359 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: He different, Which brings me to the question about how 417 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: long Rfk and Elon Musk gonna last, because eventually the 418 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: contest of pissing is gonna happen because I don't know 419 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: if any of them men know how to follow, So 420 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: we gonna see. Like I now, I should shut my mouth, 421 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: because if I've learned anything is don't predict nothing. I'm 422 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: just I can't imagine somebody like an Elon standing for 423 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: being berated by somebody he knows he could buy three 424 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: times over, no matter what you need from him. I 425 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: could be wrong. I've been wrong a lot, just saying 426 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: it don't seem like it to me. Don't know how 427 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: long that little relationship gonna last. And as an aside, 428 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: the Department of Government Efficiency, I'm gonna say this again, 429 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: the Department of Government Efficiency has two chiefs. Do that 430 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: sound efficient to you? I don't know that's the way anyway. 431 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: There are two types of cabinet appointees. There are those 432 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: that need to be confirmed and there are those that 433 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: don't need to be confirmed. And who I'm saying confirmed 434 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: is confirmed by the Senate. Right, so Trump will announce 435 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: his picks for positions like the all the offices like 436 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, Medicare and Medicaid, the EPA, Commerce, you know, 437 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: the FDA, Transport, the Secretary of State, the Eternal General, 438 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: the Defense, the dn I, the CIA, the Department of Labor, 439 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: like all these different departments that make a president work. 440 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: The Ambassador to Finance, the head of the Navy, the 441 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: Department you know, the Health Department, all these different people. 442 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: And then there's the ones that don't need to be 443 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: confirmed because you just named it. These my folks, this 444 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: one I'm putting in charge, one of which is the 445 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: vice president obviously the deputy chief of staff and the 446 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: chief of staff you just choose that. That's Susan Wiles, which, again, 447 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: like we said when we was in the Fire and 448 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: Theory podcast, like I don't know why anybody would line 449 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: up to work for this place knowing that isn't ninety 450 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: two percent chance you're finna get fired, but you know, 451 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: maybe you different. Right, the head of the FCC, the 452 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: Department of National Security is Alex Wong, you know, the 453 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: Public Laison, the Senior Advisor Ukraine and Russian Envoy Legislative Affairs, 454 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, and again, like we said before, the government 455 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: efficiency and then of course the withdrawn Attorney General Matt Gaates. 456 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: So those positions are the ones that do not re 457 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: choir Senate approval, which is like you again, your staff 458 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: that comes with the new coach, right, that's just this 459 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: who they are. And then there's a whole tier of 460 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: workers that just work for the government right now with 461 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: that squad, normally, this is just who the president get. Now, 462 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: what Trump said was the people that was in that 463 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: level was part of why his government didn't work very well. 464 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: While he was always frustrated because he was like, y' 465 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: y'all really wasn't on board with what I'm trying to 466 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: do here, but I was just stuck with you. So 467 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: what I want to do is make sure that I'm 468 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: gonna be able to fire y'all if y'all ain't. If 469 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 1: y'all don't get with the program, you either get on 470 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: or get down. If y'all not gonna get on, then 471 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna fire you. Now again, this is us throwing 472 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: the map out the window because you usually not supposed 473 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: to be able to do that. Them is just boring 474 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: pencil pusher bureaucrats that he's say in his mind, they 475 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: was out here sabotaging it. So he like, I'm not 476 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: trying to I don't want that in my office right now. 477 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to have this in my house. So 478 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: he gonna change the law to make sure he could 479 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: fire him, bringing everybody that he says is quote unquote loyal. Now, 480 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: remember when you're drafting the team, your hope is to win, right, 481 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: so you have to look at your strengths and your weaknesses. 482 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: Like in basketball, if it's like, yo, we got a 483 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: Lebron James type big man point guard. We need a 484 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: pure point guard right that, and we also need a 485 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: big man because if you know basketball, it's impossible to 486 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: win without a second piece, either a power forward or 487 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 1: a center. You have to have it. There's no to 488 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: get real nineties on you, there is no You have 489 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: to have Scottie Piven, right, you have to have Shaq 490 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: and Kobe. You have to have or Kobe and Shack. 491 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: You have to have Kobe and power Gasol. You need 492 00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: the second piece, right, bron and ad you have to 493 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: have this second piece. And if you really want to 494 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: run a dynasty, you need a third and fourth piece. 495 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: And they have to get along. If the point in 496 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: the post don't get along, it's just not gonna work again. 497 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: If you know basketball, point in the posts have to 498 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: get along, and it's the same in the government, like 499 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: the point in the posts have to get along. Now, 500 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: how you pick these people based on this idea that 501 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: you want to win you need the post to get along. 502 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: Is sometimes you just need to be a good hang. 503 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: I've told a lot of young artists who are really 504 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: trying to get on tours, maybe trying to get in 505 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: the studio sessions, get some songwriting credits, maybe be the 506 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: bass player on a tour. Sometimes it's not so much 507 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: you being a guitar virtuo, so it's you being a 508 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: good hang. Like is the vibe gonna be weird on 509 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: the bus? Like if you cool to kick it with, 510 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: you have no idea how far it'll get. You just 511 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: being cool to kick it with, because eventually all that 512 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: ass kissing, you know, all that like it. It kind 513 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: of gets old. You gotta be cool to be around 514 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: in addition to you being excellent at your job. But 515 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: from what I have found, you can be a B 516 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: plus a minus at the job. If you are an 517 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: A plus, hang because I got to be around you 518 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: all the time. So the way that Trump calculates that is, 519 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 1: do you have something resembling somewhat close to a skill 520 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: that's in the general vicinity of what we're talking about. 521 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 1: But you really good on camera and you'll do whatever 522 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: the hell I tell you, Then you're in. And it 523 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: seems as though this is like his calculation, right, who's 524 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: just down? And one way to know, here's what I found. 525 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: One way to know, at least with Trump. One way 526 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: to know if you're down, if he thinks you're down 527 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: or not, is if demand drags you and you don't 528 00:34:54,560 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: say shit, is that you you back down when he 529 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: bears his teeth. Here's my first example of that. Marco Rubio. 530 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: Ain't no way in the world I'm working for a 531 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 1: man that called me little Marco. But maybe that's why 532 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: I'm not the Secretary of State. Maybe that's why I'm 533 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: sitting here, you know, doing side hustles to try to 534 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: make sure I could pay this California mortgage because I 535 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: ain't gonna let no man call me little nothing like 536 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: and then go work for him. But who knows if 537 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna pass through. Like I said, don't buy your 538 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: jersey just yet. A few of the standouts that I'm 539 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: just gonna lay out here that you know, like I said, 540 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: like going through all of them just isn't really worth 541 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: our time because we won't even know if they're gonna make 542 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: the team. But another one of the standouts is your 543 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: man's Cash Patel. He want him to be ahead of 544 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: the FBI. Now they now remember the homie Komi who 545 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: stood up against Trump, fired that nigga, and then he 546 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 1: brought in a due Chris Ray, who would like kiss 547 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: that man's ass the whole time. But now it's time 548 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 1: for a new one and a new one now. Usually 549 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: the FBI post is a ten year post, and it 550 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: was designed for that so that you don't weaponize. The 551 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: FBI had the DJ but like I said, throw out 552 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: the map, but he bought in cash Plateail, and Cash 553 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: Patel said. What he gonna do is day one, he 554 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: gonna go over to the Hoover building, the FBI building 555 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: and shut it down and turn it into a museum 556 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: of the deep state. My nigga said, I'm ending the 557 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: FBI and honestly, no notes. But what he gonna do 558 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: after that, he said is I'm gonna send all them 559 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: agents into the into America to arrest criminals. So what 560 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: he mean by that is people that got something against Trump, 561 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: because we already got police. What you're sending the agents 562 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: into America? Like, what is you? He he prosecuting Trump's enemies. 563 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: That's the plan, which shouldn't surprise you because he told 564 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: you that was the plan. Trump told you that was 565 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 1: the Plan's gonna turn that mug into a gusta fold 566 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: just for his own political enemies. And the thing is 567 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: he told you he was gonna do that. That's the 568 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: part that I'm like, you voted for this, this is 569 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: what you asked for. Y'all asked for this. Hey, you 570 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: can't act like you ain't no, like, this is what 571 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: he said he was gonna do. He's gotta prosecutor. Of course, 572 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: to youboy keep saying, nah, he doesn't mean that. He 573 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: continually says what he means. I don't understand what y'all 574 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: don't understand. As we know, it's been announced that the 575 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: sister that is part of the family that had kids 576 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,479 Speaker 1: pointing their crotches that they teach us the degeneration ex 577 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: Lady Linda McMahon, is about to be the head of Education, 578 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: of which he already said he was disbanding anyway. So 579 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: there's that. Now, he's just the highest one these your 580 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: first round drafts, right, and sometimes the first round draft picks, 581 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: like I said, they don't end up being on the team. 582 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: They get traded for other stuff, and then it'd be 583 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: like the fourth and fifth round kid that end up 584 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,439 Speaker 1: being in the Star. So so you know, don't don't 585 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: don't buy the jersey yet.

Now, what sucks about 590 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: doctor Oz is the fact that as an actual like surgeon, 591 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: like a brain surgeon, like, he was actually an excellent doctor. 592 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: Where there's a whole series on Behind the Baskets about him. 593 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 1: It's just him giving one hundred and seventy five episodes 594 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: of medical advice.
