00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: So Mac, how you've been feeling in the aftermath of

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: the transition presidentially this past week? To be honest, I've

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: been trying my hardest not to like pay attention to

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: politics for a good amount of time, but I mean,

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: I can it's unsuccessful obviously. I just I can't help.

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: I can't imagine how you would do that. I don't

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't even not even like as a person in

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: the twenty one century, but like you as a person.

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to describe it as like it's it's

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: like a train wreck that you can't look away from,

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: because that's not necessarily the case, but there is just

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: it's like the fucking most interesting show on television at

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: this point. You know, I just keep finding myself going

32
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: back and wanting to see what's going on this season

33
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: and feeling like a missing stuff each day that I

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: I whatever, a day goes by that I don't watch

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: the news, but I mean, I don't know. It's it's

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: it's a weird, funky feeling. It's like a mixture of

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: being relieved and that kind of you know, gives a

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: dash of optimism, and then it's a bit of an

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: up and down thing. You know. One day I hear

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: something that Biden's doing that I dig, and then another

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: day I hear something that Democrats are doing that I

42
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: don't dig, And the next day I hear something Biden's doing.

43
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: Then I don't dig, and then the next day, Oh,

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: it seems like your Chuck Shooter has got a spine,

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's it's it's going off

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: and on. I think that's really getting to me, is

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: that you're not hearing really about what Trump's up to,

48
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: and it's making me really nervous, Like I'm scared, like

49
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: that he's like secretly meeting with the Proud Boys or

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: like I don't know, like there's something like, you know,

51
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: I would prefer to know what my enemies are up

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: to at all times. Maybe that's just me to like

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: keep an eye on them, Like, Okay, I can see,

54
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: like you know, if you if you're in the woods,

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: you like hear footsteps behind you, You're like, well, what's that?

56
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: But like if you really see the bear, you're like,

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: all right, I know where the bear is. If I

58
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: want to run from the bear, I know what direction

59
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: to run away from. But if you're just like don't

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: there's there's just no sign of life. You don't know

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: what direction the enemy could be coming from. That's how

62
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: I feel with like Trump somewhat out of the news,

63
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: not like tweeting every day or like doing some function

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: power to like destroy all of our lives with I

65
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: think that with what we're talking about today is actually

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit of a uh justification or

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: your fears a little bit, because we're gonna be talking

68
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: about these pardons that Trump did on his way out,

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: and just you know, when listeners, when you'll hear us

70
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: talking about it. I mean a lot of this stuff,

71
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: you guys have have been heard about this, but I

72
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: mean when you hear about the nature of it and

73
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: just get like the full rundown of it. Some of

74
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: it is so like on its face corrupt that you

75
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: can only imagine what type of ship Trump is up

76
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: to with out cameras all in his business right now. No, man,

77
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: it freaks me out. I don't feel relieved. I do

78
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: feel a sense of like like I am surprised by

79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: like how little disappointment I feel so far about the

80
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: Biden administration. Like it's I don't know, I feel like

81
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to be worse than the Trump administration.

82
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, I kind of like shipped

83
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: on lips being like, oh, you know, it's gonna be

84
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: back to normal podcast. I feel like getting punched in

85
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: the face every day for like years, and then so

86
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: you get stopped getting punched in the face. You still

87
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: need to see a doctor, like your jaw is broken

88
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: and you can't you're blinded, and like your nose needs reconstruction.

89
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: But like it feels good to just to not be

90
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: punched in the face anymore. Well, I mean, as a

91
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: result of that sort of relief, Biden is experiencing one

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 1: hell of a honeymoon period. I think he has a

93
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: sixty two approval rating or something like that. Yeah, and

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: then like across the board, every single aspect of his

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,559
Speaker 1: COVID planning has a sixty plus you know, approval rating.

96
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: So because the Trump administration was so horrible, you know,

97
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: Biden has got a little bit of extra political capital

98
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: that I think anybody really expected. So, you know, so far,

99
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: it seems like, you know, they're grabbing the bull by

100
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: the horns. They're taking it. They've got Bernie in there.

101
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: He's he's he's whispering ship and motherfucker's ear, you know, hopefully,

102
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, you know, no one wants to do,

103
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, fucking kid themselves and act like the Democrats

104
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: are about to get this ship right or whatever, but

105
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: people are all are seperate, all about kidding themselves. Well,

106
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I don't themselves right now. I

107
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: don't hate on anybody for being happy, especially if you live.

108
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: If you're a lib y'all won you know what I'm

109
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: saying across the board. So it's like I get it.

110
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I agree with it, It's just I

111
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: get it. You know. It's just important that people I

112
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: think I think it's gonna come out in the years

113
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: that that past is, like, the more that they really

114
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: start looking into the things that went down in the

115
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Trump administration, not just this tumultuous ship that's been going on,

116
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, in the post election, but just throughout it,

117
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna like get a clear picture of

118
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: just how close we worked to the abyss, you know

119
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, on like every front. And I think

120
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: that will in turn extend, you know, the more that

121
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: the mainstream media you know, plays it up and keeps

122
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: that ship in the face of the American public, I

123
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: think that will extend Joe Biden's honeymoon period. You know

124
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If every day you're hearing some horrible

125
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: ship about Like yo, y'all have no idea how close

126
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: we were to World War three, you know what I'm saying,

127
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: Like for real, real or like yo, the economy like

128
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: almost crashed like twelve times and none of us knew

129
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: because they were hiding the you know. You know. Well,

130
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: Today we're gonna talk about the last days of the

131
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Trump presidency, notably the presidential pardons of a hundred forty

132
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: three people, but chiefly among those since we are hip

133
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: hop show, those of Kodak Black and Little Wayne, talk

134
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: a little bit about what they've been up to since then.

135
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: We're also going to get into some new music, some

136
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: new songs from Kodak Black and Little Wayne on their

137
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: you know postparton High Yeah, as well as new new

138
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: joint by Afro and Taller Quality. And we're gonna just

139
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the first days of the

140
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: Biden administration. Have we're feeling about how it's going in

141
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: a little more detail, looking at some of his executive

142
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: orders in this plus six hundred that's been going on.

143
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: As Georgians, I well as a George and I have

144
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: a lot to say. We'll be with that right after

145
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: the job. All right, So before we get into all

146
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: of this yammering that we're about to do, why don't we,

147
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: you know, started off with some additional yamer and what

148
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: don't you tell them what exactly is a presidential party.

149
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: Let's end them a little bit of public policy, you know. So, um,

150
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: federal pardon is an action that can be taken by

151
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: the President of United States that completely sets aside punishment

152
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: for federal crime. It's grammed by Article two, section to

153
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: Clause one of the U. S. Constitution, and it's one

154
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: form of clemency power of the president has. So you know,

155
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: you can also commuter sentence, you can remiss a fine

156
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: or you know, restitution for a crime, or grant reprieve.

157
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: And actually it's interesting a person may also decide not

158
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: to accept a pardon, in which case it doesn't take effectum.

159
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: According to Supreme Courtmatory opinion and verdict versus United States Um,

160
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: a pardon carries an imputation of guilt and acceptance acceptance

161
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: of a confession of it. So, I mean, if you

162
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: are pardoned, you are innocent of the crime. It's not

163
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: simply that your punishment for the crime is no longer

164
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: um carried out. Under the Constitution, the president's clemency power

165
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: extends to all federal criminal offenses and except cases of impeachment.

166
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: Interesting good to know. You know, you might have heard

167
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: this before. With the whole thing with Trump is so

168
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: he can't do anything when it comes to state crimes.

169
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: So if you're somebody who's been pardoned and you've done

170
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff that's illegal in the state of Nebraska,

171
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: and Nebraska can still come after your ass even though federally.

172
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: Is that also why like never mind, I don't know

173
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: what I was gonna talk about the fact that like, oh,

174
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: they wouldn't prosecute him for anything while he was president,

175
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: but like meanwhile, like ye know, it was like you know,

176
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: we're piling up cases. Oh yeah, New York is going

177
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: after that. Aside, like you were saying that you were

178
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: worried about what he's up to, don't worry. Part of

179
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: it is that he's off doing some evil planning. But

180
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: there's another good chunk of the reason you haven't heard

181
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: from him is because his lawyers are telling them to

182
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: keep his mouth shut because there are cases, there's civil

183
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: and state cases that are being built up right now

184
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: out the ass. So when Trump is not going to

185
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: be out of the news, Like I was thinking this

186
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: the other day because I was like, you know, seeing

187
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of thumbnails on YouTube that had him, and

188
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: I was like, man, why the funk are people still

189
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: talking about Trump every day and he's not the president?

190
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: And then it was like, oh, wait, I've never in

191
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: my lifetime seeing a former president that committed this many

192
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: crimes leave office. You know what I'm saying, He's gonna

193
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: be in the news for the next four years. People

194
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: just need to get used to that. And that's not

195
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: necessarily the media trying to keep him in your face.

196
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: Like I mean, a president how been like fifty cases

197
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: is a big deal you you would want them to

198
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: report on that ship. Yeah, So the full extent of

199
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: the president's power to pardon, it's something that's actually not

200
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: been fully resolved. Pardons have been used for presumptive cases

201
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: of crime. So like, for example, when President Gerald Ford

202
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: pardon Richard Nixon, who hadn't been charged with anything but

203
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: just in case he did some crimes connected with Watergate, um.

204
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: But the Supreme Court is never um considered legal effectiveness

205
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: of such pardons, and it's send disagreement about how um

206
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: pardon power applies in cases involving obstruction of an impeachment.

207
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: So again, the peature is sort of like sort of

208
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: off limits territory, and we're not really sure in the theory,

209
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: like all of this ship is in theory um. And

210
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: then the ability for a president to pardon themselves has

211
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: never been tested in the courts because the president has

212
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: ever tried. I'm frankly surprised that part Trump didn't just

213
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: like I pardoned myself for anything, even though like we

214
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: start talking about with like the state of New York,

215
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: like they're the states are coming from. Even if he

216
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: were to federally to part himself of any federal crimes,

217
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: but I have a sense that it wouldn't work. I

218
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: have a sense that if if the people who are

219
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: advising him legally really thought that it could help hold up,

220
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: given that it's never been tested, I think he would

221
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: have done it. Yeah. There's also a speculation of whether

222
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: secret pardons are possible, and Trump's former concierly Michael Cohen

223
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: his his raised this specter as well. He says he

224
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: thinks that Trump probably has attempted to do a bunch

225
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: of secret pardons. Now, Um, that man don't know how

226
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: to keep a secret for his life, So I doubt

227
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna do shady, unethical things and everybody to know.

228
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: Like we've been saying. One of the features of the

229
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: four unfortunate years of Trump's presidency has been the series

230
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: of unethical pardons out the gate of the game, starting

231
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: with the corrupt racist Arizona Sheriff Joe R. Pio in

232
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: year one. Now. Poio had been accused of numerous types

233
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: of police misconduct, including abuse of power, misuse of funds,

234
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: failure to investigate sex crimes, criminal negligence, abuse of suspects

235
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: and custody, improper clearances of cases, unlawful enforcement of immigration laws,

236
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: and election law violations, all on a sesame seed. But

237
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: it's like a caricature of a police of like what

238
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: you think like a sheriff is he's like literally causing

239
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: all the crimes, the number one crime doer of like

240
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: the thing I got Batman after him and shipped with

241
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: this fucking rapture for real. Um yeah, so that was

242
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: week one, Yeah, But on the way out a week ago,

243
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: Trump put up a dizzying list of last second part

244
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: in hundred forty three if I'm not mistaken, which had

245
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: added which added to the dozens he had handed out

246
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: weeks before. Now, to be fair, there are a number

247
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: of names, um, people within this list that legitimately should

248
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: no longer be in prison or shouldn't have been there

249
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: to begin with. Um. And you know, pulled a couple

250
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: of cases here, like Lynn Barney, who was sending thirty

251
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: five months in prison for possessing a firearm as a

252
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: previously convicted fat fell in after having been convicted for

253
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: distributing a small amount of marijuana. According to the White House,

254
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: so like out of gun had committed a crime. Beflore

255
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: toldom Lane doesn't sound that bad to me personally. There's

256
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: also David Baron. Trump commuted the sentence of David Baron,

257
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: who was sentenced to life in prison in addition to

258
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: twenty years for drug conspiracy charges. In two thousand seventeen,

259
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: President Barack Obama commuted his life term to a thirty

260
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: year sentence. Was in that bipartisanship. The White House said

261
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: Baron is a father of six children and has maintained

262
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: an exemplary prison record. Petition advocating for further clemency for

263
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: Baron's release has garnered nearly twenty thousand signatures. And then

264
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: there's Christina Boneen Camp, whose sentenced Trump commuted um after

265
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: she served more than ten years of a twenty four

266
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: year sentence for a non violent drug offense. I mean,

267
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean okay. And so it's stuff like this that

268
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: to me makes sense of things like the pro Trump

269
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: politics of Angelistan King. Like I don't know if you'll

270
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: know about her, but stan King was convicted on a

271
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: federal conspiracy charge for her participation in a car theft

272
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: ring served two the years in prison, during which time

273
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: she gave birth to her daughter. February last year, Trump

274
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: granted Stanton Clinging clemency, and she appeared at the White

275
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: House afterward as part of a roundtable discussion in African

276
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: American history for you know, African American History month. Who

277
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: calls it? Then? Oh god, okay around dad was discussion

278
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: about history a month um. And then she went on

279
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: to make appearances the Drum campaign and numerous black voices

280
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: for Trump events and and this is the this is

281
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: the real kicker. She also went on to run as

282
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: a Republican against then incumbent John Lewis for Georgia's fifth

283
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: congressional district seat, and later that year went up against

284
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Lewis's appointed successor candidate Nikima Williams after his passing. Now

285
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: she got fourteen percent of the vote. She supports Q

286
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: and on and she's anti LGBTQ. She generally sucks. But

287
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: she supported the right to vote for anyone released at

288
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: who had a felony conviction that after they get released

289
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: for JAM restored restoration of the voting rights, and as well,

290
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: she supported the First Step Act, which outlawed the handcuffing

291
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: of whim and during childbirth, which you know, she herself

292
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: claims to have experienced when she was in prison two

293
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: thousand four. She was shackled while giving birth and described

294
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: her daughter being snatched from her arms twenty four hours later.

295
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: So like, Okay, I'm not trying to give Trump any

296
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: credit here whatsoever because obviously, but I think this is

297
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: just like an interesting pattern and trajectory and wonder if

298
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: we're on the left or like overlooking ship that could

299
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: be argued as like materially good that people that draw

300
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: people to the far right, like you know, fucking letting

301
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, this lady had a baby in jail and he,

302
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, offered her clemency and she was like, Yo,

303
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: that's dope. Hell yeah, I'm a Trump Republican now black

304
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: voices for Trump. What's up? And like, you know, I mean,

305
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: I get and I hear what you're saying, and I

306
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: get it. You know, when when you're somebody, when somebody

307
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: gives you a chance in a world where nobody gives

308
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: you a chance, you're gonna funk with them. And so

309
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: I just like worry, I guess more so, I'm just

310
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: like worry about things like this. Well no, I mean,

311
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: and that's at the end of the day, that's why

312
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: they do it. And that's why it's like usually always

313
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: disingenuous coming from conservatives in my opinion, just because it's

314
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: like I mean, they're definitely are quick to do things

315
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: for like an individual somebody that they know or somebody

316
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: that they have a relationship with, but they they don't

317
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: think too much in terms of like people in doing

318
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: things for the benefit of people, you know what I'm saying.

319
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: I always hate going here, but like I personally know

320
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: women in from Liberia who escaped the Liberian Civil War

321
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: who have had a lot worse done to them. That

322
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: don't believe in Q and on. So I'm just saying,

323
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: it's not if everybody who was in a difficult situation.

324
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: And again, just to add to what you're the point

325
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: that you're making is like you gotta give credit where

326
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: credit to do. You know what I'm saying. You can't

327
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: just boo who every single thing just because you don't

328
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: like Trump. So you know, there was some good that

329
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: came out of these partners. There was a lot of

330
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: good depending on you know, how you want to look

331
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: at it. But despite these corrections to justice, so to speak,

332
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: there was a smorgess board of ghouls and goblins and

333
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: fiends on this parting list. You ever, you've seen the

334
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson thriller video, you remember the part when him

335
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: and the girl are walking to Vincent Prices talking and

336
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: all the zombies are coming out of like the sewers

337
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: and the alleys and and and shipped and from under

338
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: the ground. That's how Washington was looking right now with

339
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: the fucking partons that Trump leaned out. I mean, you

340
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: have literal war criminals, mass murderers, seven corrupt Republican congressmen

341
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: who were convicted of crimes, including Chris Collins, who was

342
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: videotaped doing insider trading at the White House, and then

343
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: Duncan Hunter, Duncan Hunter who spent campaign funds on his

344
00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: multiple side chicks and more and more, and with everything

345
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: in trump Land. Uh, you know, Mariah kind of alluded

346
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: to it earlier. You've got to treat these pardons like

347
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: they're a serious like they're serious legal documents. And Trump

348
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: Land is known for its incompetencies. So some of the

349
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: wording on some of these pardons has apparently been so

350
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: sloppy that it doesn't necessarily leave everybody off of the hook,

351
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: and some people might be open to, uh, further prosecution

352
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: down the line. Kimberly Well, who's a University of Baltimore

353
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: law professors, told Business Insider, it says speaking about the pardons,

354
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: it says for his convictions, and that's it when referencing, uh,

355
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: someone like Paul Manafort. And that's different from what Richard

356
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: Nixon wrote in his which actually had in quotes all

357
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: conceivable crimes instead of just for his convictions. So yeah, wait,

358
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: you're fucked up. Yeah, I mean, like if you're gonna

359
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: if you're gonna sucking try to you know, strong arm

360
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: the office, then you might as well go all the

361
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: way with it. What the hell is this for his convictions? Bullshit?

362
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 1: If you're gonna be like a fucking criminal, master criminal,

363
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: you want to have a little bit more imagination than that.

364
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: But hopefully that is the case when some of these

365
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: you know guys getting nailed, that would be so sweet,

366
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: so sweet. Now what our eyes? You know? This being

367
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: a hip hop show obviously is the pardons of Kodak

368
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 1: Black and Lil Wayne. Yeah, the Krodak was in federal

369
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: prison after pleading guilty to fire on its possession after

370
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: being detained at the Canadian American border. UM right around

371
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: with the pandemic hit last year. UM. He still faced

372
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: his potential prison time after being indicted in a FELLO

373
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: charge for first degree criminal sexual conduct or alleged lame

374
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: forcing himself onto a woman in two thousand sixt So

375
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: like like president, like pardoned. In a statement slash tweet,

376
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: Kodak said, I want to thank for the President Donald

377
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: Trump for his commitment to justice reform and shortening my sentence.

378
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: I also want to thank everyone for their support and love.

379
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: It means more than you will ever know. I want

380
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: to continue giving back, learning, and growing, and could I

381
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: just say that every word in this tweet is capitalized

382
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: and ask like the listeners as well as Mac what

383
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: it is with like hip hop cats and like do

384
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about? It? Like you see

385
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: mad people on the t L like I want to

386
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: thank the president. I think it's because it looks. It

387
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: looks good when you like look at it, when you

388
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: like look at a paragraph like that where every word

389
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: has a capitalization. I don't know. Maybe I'm just being

390
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: they understands where this trend came from. It looks beautiful.

391
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: Let us know. Enquiring minds are desperate for answers. It's

392
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: a tweet, so who knows. Maybe it's some Twitter thing.

393
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't know about it. Your phone out of correct?

394
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: I just I just got I just for years have

395
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: been curious about something like new What's do you know?

396
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: How to? Anyway? Is it? Is it? Like? Is it

397
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: out of bounds for me to say that that doesn't

398
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: seem like Kodak wrote it? I mean I don't know that, man. No,

399
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, doesn't that seem like a PR thing?

400
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: That's probably a publicist was like, yeah, I should probably

401
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: say this. Then we had Little Wayne, who was the

402
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: second one that we mentioned got pardoned, and a little

403
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: Wayne had admitted to weapons charged back in December of

404
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: last year and was due to be sentenced later this month.

405
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: He was facing ten years in jail before Trump swooped

406
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: in with the cape and the pardon, and he made

407
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: a statement as well, saying, I want to thank President

408
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to

409
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: give to my family, my art, and my community. Back

410
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: in October, many months before the part in, Wayne Piste

411
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: off a bunch of people by posting a picture of

412
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: Trumpet himself and professing support at for forty five ahead

413
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: of the election. In November, Pick was taken after an

414
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: in person meaning they had to discuss the administration's Platinum Plan.

415
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: Platinum Plan black people we discussed in the previous episode

416
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: um the back class, Yet I was having people were

417
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: a little like the funk Bro. You guys heard it

418
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: on this show, though it remains unknown, I would like

419
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: to see quantitative data on howers effective to sales and streams,

420
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: if at all, because you know what, and I don't

421
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: know if we really delved too deeply into this ongoing

422
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: eternal even debating, but you know, people separate the artists

423
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: from the art like I still put on you know,

424
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: college dropout like whatever you know, like but but I

425
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: mean people upgrade the artists from the art. But I

426
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: think it's all circumstantial. It all depends on what that

427
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: artist has. It all depends on what you have a

428
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: problem with based on what you know that believe that artists.

429
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: Did you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I feel like

430
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: there's also a linkage between social media presence and like

431
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: media and then like art artistic consumption. So like somebody

432
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: might not be like I'm gonna intentionally never listening a

433
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: little way again, and they might be christof at him

434
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: and then follow him on Twitter, which would then lead

435
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: them to not hear about his new song, which like

436
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: it's like a like a like a two step process

437
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: by which it does negatively impact them financially or like

438
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: in terms of artistic prominence. Well, I think with like

439
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 1: a with music, especially, you know, you want to like,

440
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 1: you know, you want to feel like you can relate

441
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: to the music you're listening to, because I mean with

442
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: the movie it's different. You could be like, hey, I

443
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: funk with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Even though he's a Republican because

444
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: he's playing the terminator, you know what I'm saying. But

445
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: with like with music, especially with hip hop, you know,

446
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: you want to feel some of that connection that hey,

447
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 1: at the bare minimum, like I could hang out with

448
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: this person and this person's like someone that's like me,

449
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: and I guess it. Don't just depend for a social

450
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: relationship put them through the music where you're like, oh,

451
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm to be in the club of Drake. Yeah. Yeah.

452
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: But if you think that Drake is like his personality

453
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: is somebody that you wouldn't hang out with in real

454
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: life or that you wouldn't tolerate, that's like it's like

455
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: not we need UI exactly. I mean, that's that's just

456
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: how I look at it. I mean, I I think

457
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to. Somebody, somebody who can

458
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: still listen to Little Wayne and listen to Kanye, I

459
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: feel like they could probably tolerate a Trump supporter in

460
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: their life personally. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing.

461
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I can't. I you know, like I

462
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: absolutely can't. So like for me, it's like I can't

463
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: it when I go back and listen to college dropout.

464
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just I smoke too much weed maybe

465
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: or something. But my brain just can't help but connect

466
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing to what I know. Now you know

467
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, I mean, I can always appreciate

468
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: it for the art that it is, but it just

469
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: has that little bit of difference from when you're watching

470
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: a movie, because you know, it's like a John Wayne's

471
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: not playing John Wayne or or whatever whatever fucking movie

472
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: you're watching. You can, you can, you can try your hardest,

473
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: you can. You can just more easily lose yourself in

474
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: the fantasy of a movie or a book if it's

475
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: written by somebody that well, maybe not a book. A

476
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 1: book kind of has the same sort of vibe. You

477
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: think Layne's endorsement might have been a ploy to secure

478
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: the pardon. You are probably right, You're most likely right.

479
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: But Wayne's lawyer, Bradford Cohen denies the speculation earli as

480
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: he did to the n y T. He said, it

481
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: never heard that someone gets a full understanding of an

482
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: individual when they're looking at just looking at a pizza paper.

483
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: In hindsight, I guess it worked out. I think they

484
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: have a very strong connection. He's in the entertainment world.

485
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: He's got a style. It is similar in terms of

486
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: the way it carries himself, and a lot of rappers

487
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: and people in the industry relate to that. I've been

488
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: saying that since the start of the show, these rappers

489
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: funk with Trump Yo, And I saw this tweet that

490
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: I thought captured the significance of these particular partners perfectly.

491
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: In essence, it said the failure of black capitalism as

492
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: a vehicle for black liberation is not seen anywhere as

493
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: clearly as in Trump partnering a couple of buck millionaires

494
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: like Wheezy and Kodak, while also pardoning his rich white

495
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: supremacist cronies like Bandon. They are to these people all

496
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: a part of the same class. It's all a big club.

497
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: Who said that? That is Bravo ship, right. I don't know,

498
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: some bitch like, hell yeah, girl, get it. I hope

499
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: you live drive for that's what. But yeah, I mean,

500
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: I agree agree with you that that's what it is.

501
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: That's that's why it's like you know that, that's why

502
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: you shouldn't trust these rappers. Man, you really should have

503
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: fucking Fabulous had a really dope line in the song

504
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: back in the day where he said a lot of

505
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: these rappers say that there for the hood. They're not.

506
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: They're just from the hood. Not everybody who's from the

507
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: hood is for the hood. And I feel like this

508
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: hip hop flirtation with maggot ism, like encap encapsulates that

509
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: quote to a t um. This isn't the first time

510
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: that a disgraced, unpopular Republican president handed out confusing pardons

511
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: to random rappers as he limped out of office in

512
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: shame um. Back in two thousand eight, Fuji's affiliate John

513
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: Forte was among those pardoned by George W. Bush as

514
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: he left office, and Forte was arrested back in two

515
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: thousand for carrying a suitcase filled with one point four

516
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: million dollars of liquid cocaine in the New York International Airport,

517
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: which like, let me just stop you right there for

518
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: a second and say, the liquid that the ship that

519
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: looked like a bomb, that's amazing, that's crazy. He had

520
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: he had a single out and everything. For the life

521
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: of me, I'm usually good with this, but I would

522
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: just like do a really high pitched bad singing of

523
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: the hook, but I can't remember it for the life

524
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: of me. But the audacity. You really got to marvel

525
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: of the audacity. But yeah, he was when you have

526
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: a record on the radio though words four millions come

527
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: on man um he Jesus Christ. He was convicted with

528
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: the intent to distribute charge and was given a mandatory

529
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: minimum of fourteen years in prison. So, with over a

530
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: decade having passed since Forte has been pardoned, there's been

531
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: more light drawn onto the situation. And I'm sure that's

532
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: pretty much what's gonna happen with Wait in Kodak, We'll

533
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: get all the details. You No one's gonna talk about

534
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: this yere right now. In a Forte's case, during his

535
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: travels as a rapper, he had become really good friends,

536
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: almost best friends, with a guy named Ben Taylor. And

537
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: Ben Taylor's mother is famed singer songwriter Carly Simon, and

538
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: she threw her resources and personal connects was able to

539
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: lobby Bush to get, you know, a pardon for John Forte.

540
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: She since written exclusively about it. There's a Vanity Fair

541
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: article from titled Brooklyn Bard where she refers to John

542
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: Forte as her godson. I mean, the whole entire article

543
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: is dedicated to this entire situation. Of her life in

544
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: getting John Forte out of jail and stuff like that.

545
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: It's a really interesting read. But what are your thoughts

546
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: on this? This this one seems like a bit more.

547
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even I don't want to say

548
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: it's on the level, but I mean it is on

549
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: a level. It's a big problem. You ain't in it

550
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: whether or not they're like using black people as like

551
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: political props to like cement key like support within key demographics,

552
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: or it's a matter of someone well connected through a

553
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: friend of a friend using their social capital, which is

554
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: a crude through being a millionaire to you know, lobby

555
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: a president for a pardon like this is always motherfucker's

556
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: they on. They are on the same team, and we

557
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: are not on it with them. That is true. That

558
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: is definitely true. The sad thing is that, um, I

559
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: don't think John Firte ever made any more albums, but

560
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: we're definitely gonna get a bunch of Kodak Black and

561
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: Little Wayne songs. Yeah, there's that. No matter the case,

562
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: all those pardons, until otherwise revealed, are within the immense

563
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: parton powers of the sitting president. And I don't think

564
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: that there's been a modern president that is like flex

565
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: that as much as Trump has I mean, the rappers aside,

566
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting, it's funny because you know, it's a

567
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: hip hop show and stuff. But I mean, the mere

568
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 1: fact that Trump just brazenly pardoned black Water is like,

569
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: for real, The fact that anyone talks about anything other

570
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: than that is bonkers. You know what I'm saying This

571
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: This ship is fucking crazy. Yeah, I mean the new

572
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: cycle I since accelebrated both based on like what the

573
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: media environment is like now and also just the amount

574
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: of fucking crazy things happening in the last four years.

575
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: And I feel like that, like hypercceleration, it's just going

576
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: to become the norm now, even if like perhaps less

577
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: insane things happened constantly because we have slightly more competent leadership.

578
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: That is the ultimate dog whistle to me, though, is

579
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: those that pardon to those guys more than anything that

580
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: Trump and Trump is somebody who like woke up in

581
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: the morning randomly and tweeted out white power. But I

582
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: think that, like, oh man, I almost forgot about that. Sometimes.

583
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: I think pardoning some mass murderers who killed Iraqi women

584
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: and children in cold blood proven you know, what I'm saying, Like,

585
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: that's pretty much just saying, hey, it's okay to kill

586
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: brown people in a nutshell. That's that's the that's the

587
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: did before. But in case you were still wondering even too,

588
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, weapons free, go ahead, Like if you

589
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: were like, oh no, no, no, I didn't think that, Like,

590
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure, you know, I believe

591
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: mass slaughter of forens is okay by me, Like, yeah, unequivably. Now,

592
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: speaking of presidential power, did you want to talk a

593
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: little bit of some of the flex and the Biden's

594
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: been doing here. Yeah, let's keep over this h n

595
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: r A stuff stuff to kind of burn out. Um,

596
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: don't you go ahead and enter that? So? Um, actually,

597
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: let me see if I can find a wiki real quick.

598
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: I do believe it's thirty. It's thirty so far. Yeah.

599
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, So let's get into another immense presidential power

600
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: that's been on display too great links in the last week,

601
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: to the power of executive order. To An executive order

602
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: is a means of issuing federal directives by the President

603
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: of the United States to manage the operations of the

604
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: federal government. Um Article two of the United States Constitution

605
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: gives the president broad executive and enforcement authority to use

606
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: his or herd to expression. Do you determine how to

607
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: enforce the law otherwise manage to the resources and staff

608
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: of the executive branch. So, um, they can just so

609
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: it's like I guess limited, Like executive orders were limited

610
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: to like things within the executive branch or the operations

611
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: of the government that they can control. They can't just

612
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: like decree new laws for all of us too. Yeah,

613
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: that's why. For example, one of his executive orders was

614
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: a mass mandate on federal property, because it's like, Okay,

615
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: if these are federal buildings that are run by the

616
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: federal government, then we can like force people there, but

617
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: we can't do it and say great Capitals or something

618
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: like that. They also kind of leave the policy open

619
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 1: to being altered whenever a new administration comes in, because

620
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: they can just pass executive orders and change everything up.

621
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: That's a concern that I feel a bit more relevant

622
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: to eight years ago. That really doesn't matter right now anymore. Well,

623
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: we'll get in taught in a little bit. Some of

624
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: these executive orders that he put out. Joe Biden and

625
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: had signed a flurry of these, UM, I believe it

626
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: was like twenty the first day and he had like

627
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: twenty more the next day. He's just he's signing executive

628
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: orders out there out the gate. Some people are kind

629
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: of wondering why they're doing Why are they're doing it

630
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: this way instead of rolling it out one at a

631
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: time to extend the news story and keep keep a

632
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: headline the way that Trump did. How would be one day, Hey,

633
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: I'm going to not feed children. Then the next day

634
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: it was like, hey, transgenders are illegal, and then the

635
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: next day he's like, hey, Mexicans need to leave like

636
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: and people were expecting Joe Biden to kind of make

637
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: these corrections on a day daily basis to make headlines.

638
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: But I actually like the strategy of just doing all

639
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: of it at once, just from the get go, because A,

640
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: you're getting more done quicker, and then let's keep it real.

641
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,959
Speaker 1: People are stupid, and if you start doing these things

642
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: one by one, I can totally see people getting upset

643
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: that their particular issue isn't getting rectified first. And how

644
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: do you I mean, I was funny question to you

645
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: as someone that's followed politics for a little bit longer

646
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: than I have. Um when presidential candidates are any candidate

647
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: for that matter, says they're going to do something on

648
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: day one. Is that a rhetorical flourish, because like he

649
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of ship done on day one, but

650
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: like the kids are still in cages, like and if

651
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, on the campaign trail, like dealing with

652
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: migrant family separation and detainment was something he claimed to

653
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna do on day one. So like I'm

654
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: not saying, like I'm I just want to understand what

655
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: these people mean when they say that I never meant that.

656
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: Then it's just like, oh, everyone else understands that he

657
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: just meant like soon things. I don't know this for

658
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: a fact, but I think that when they say day

659
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: one they kind of mean the first hundred days. But

660
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely, it's definitely rhetorical. I mean the end

661
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: of the day. It's like, as much as I would

662
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: love for Biden to just go in there and like

663
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: wave the wine and undo stuff, I personally don't necessarily

664
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: want authoritarian authoritarian authoritarianism that I agree with, you know

665
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it's like I still I still

666
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: do would want him to like I wouldn't want him

667
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: to fucking strong arm the ship the way Trump did. HM.

668
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: But to a certain extent, I kind of do want

669
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: in a strong arm the ship the way Trump did

670
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 1: because I don't believe that we can work or Republicans anymore.

671
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know that's where you were saying, you

672
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's like again, it's like sometimes

673
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: I find myself slipping into the ship thinking that it's

674
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve and that we're talking about Mitt Romney

675
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: and ship, and it's like, no, we're talking about literal Nazis.

676
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I I actually the more that

677
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: I think about this in my head, I I agree

678
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: with strong arming it and I think that that should

679
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 1: be the way, because I mean, it's not looked. It's

680
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: not like the Republicans aren't going to strong arm ship

681
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: the next time that they get power, you know what

682
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's like immediately, yeah, immediately, I mean

683
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: if it did, they just try to overturn the election violently,

684
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you can pretty much

685
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: expect the next time that there's a Republican president, on

686
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: day one, there's going to be executive orders like now,

687
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: you're allowed to eat poor people. It's gonna it's gonna

688
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: be crazy. They're just gonna like go full mask off

689
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: with it. Um. But let's get into some of these,

690
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: you know, some of these Biden has passed some of

691
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: the interesting ones. Yeah. So day one he signed an

692
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: executive order rejoining the Paris Agreement and climate change sign

693
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, like in a creen of deal and nothing.

694
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: But it's one of those top campaign promises. Um And Okay, sure,

695
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what are your what's your thoughts on that?

696
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: Like I feel it's a bare minimum And like I said,

697
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: I mean that that's one feels great because it's like

698
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: not getting punched in the face anymore after getting punched

699
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: in the face every day for the last four years.

700
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: And it is the first day, so you know. But

701
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: I mean again, like there's a lot of these corrective

702
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: things that have to be done that are really just

703
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: kind of, um, what's the word that I'm looking for.

704
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: It's really just kind of window dressing. Window dressing in

705
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: a way, because some of the real corrections that they

706
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: have to do within the to the damage that Trump

707
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: did is like not just as easy as signing an

708
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: executive order. Sure, there. I mean, like executive orders do

709
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: seem expansive in their power, but they aren't. Really. It's

710
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: just like, aren't they aren't. I mean, to be honest,

711
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: we were. We were making fun of of of Trump

712
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: and his flurry of executive orders for just how like

713
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: useless they truly were. So it's a it's a good

714
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: it's a good feel good thing, and it's a good

715
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: symbolic thing. And don't get me wrong, there's I'm sure

716
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: in most cases there are a lot of cases that

717
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: it's actually making tangible differences and corrections and stuff like that.

718
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: But for the most part, it feels good to like

719
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: stick it to the maggots, like how we're coming in

720
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: and we just changing all y'all ship you know what

721
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean? That feels And have transgenders back in the military.

722
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: This is what you call unity, you know, nervous breakdowns. Um, yeah,

723
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: go for it. I was gonna say this one the

724
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: executive order. This is another it's another immigration one, but

725
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: the executive order revising immigration enforcement policies, revoking Trump error

726
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: policy that cracked down on communities shielding undocumented immigrants from deportation. Yeah.

727
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: That there was also another one that he signed that

728
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: pretty much makes librarians unde portable for like the next

729
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: three or four years. Graduation. Thank thank you, thank you

730
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: for that, family that thanks you for that. UM A

731
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: lot of immigration stuff, Memorandum strengthening DOTA, so you can

732
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 1: see where most of the Trump administration's focus was. Yeah, um,

733
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: as well, they pulled funds for the border wall, cancel

734
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: the Keystone pipeline. I think that's pretty dope because it's

735
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: like Dakota Access Pipeline next maybe you know, it's like

736
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: one of those that points towards perhaps better things to

737
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: come in future, whereas like the you know, getting back

738
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: in the Paris Climate Accords feels like they're going to

739
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: just like do that and then stop. Um like, oh

740
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: we didn't, hooray. Like, you know. They've also terminated federal

741
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: funding for private prisons, which is pretty dope. I mean,

742
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: prisons are still terrible and all of them should go.

743
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: And it doesn't it doesn't affect ice, it doesn't. TREK

744
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: I just kind of become its own paramilitary organizations of

745
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: salt of like understanding their true scope, just understanding that

746
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: the president is not a king, you know, like the

747
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: president is not a king. UM in in in moments

748
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: when you're coming off the hive, being on the winning

749
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: side of a political victory, it can sometimes, you know,

750
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: I feel good to like imagine, oh, man, wouldn't it

751
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: just be cool if the president was actually a king

752
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: and then we could just do all this cool dope

753
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: ship that I like. You know what I'm saying. But

754
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: you just got to keep in mind that the pendulum

755
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: always swings no matter what, no matter what, and you

756
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: guys have seen what these people are capable of. So

757
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: this isn't saying we shouldn't do anything because you know,

758
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: just like I said with in prior episodes, there's nothing

759
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: that the right wingers are going to do that they

760
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: were going to change the mind of because it wasn't

761
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: done to them first, you know what I'm saying. So

762
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:09,800

00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: Court decision in Bostock versus Clayton County Georgia last year

Speaker 1: to expand protections against discrimination based on sex and federal

Speaker 1: agencies to also include sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender

770
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: expression as well. And why are like this? I mean,

771
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: I think it's important, but like from just like a

772
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: purely like lizard brain standpoint, like I heard about it

773
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: because I heard turfs and transphobs were really pissed. And

774
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: like after Biden's talk about, you know, at the inauguration

775
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: about like unity and all of us coming together, I

776
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: was like, all right, cool, maybe is willing to piss

777
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: off the right people, like people like Oh, he's like

778
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: willing to make bad people angry sick, because that's gonna

779
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: be really important for us to like gets ship done

780
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: that brings everyone, that brings this true unity that is

781
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: only a possible through justice, and so um I was like, yeah, cool, maybe,

782
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: like will they pissed off some white supremacists. Well, I

783
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: think that Joe Biden wants to go down with Like

784
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: I think he's thinking of his ship like in terms

785
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: of legacy and stuff like that. So I think he's

786
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: gonna do whatever he thinks is going to be good politics,

787
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So if that's where the

788
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: political winds are blowing, I think. I think that's where

789
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: he's going to be at and right now, the political winds,

790
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: I think are telling him to piss off some of

791
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: the right people, you know what I mean, A couple

792
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: of folks the left maybe like you know, doesn't quite

793
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: hate you for all your talk community without accountability. Before

794
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: we get into this music discussion, talk to them about

795
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: your thoughts about the fourteen dollar or fourteen or four

796
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: hundred and six hundred two stimulus. So let's talk about stimmy. Like,

Speaker 1: I just don't like being made a liar, Okay. I

798
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: was out here knocking the nors all over Athens and

799
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: all over the state, literally telling people like, they'll give

800
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: you two thousand dollars, because that's what they said. They

801
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: will give you, not two dollars, two thousand dollars check,

802
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: We're not tweeted out a picture of a check with

803
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars on it and was like, do you

804
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: want this vote for me? Which ethnically questionable, but you know,

805
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: in terms of like concrete, like legible material benefit for

806
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: people that are struggling right now, a might not like oh,

807
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: living wage and crew, So I'm not sure, like you know,

808
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: I already make fourteen forty five. I don't know what

809
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: that means for me or like oh, like you know,

810
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: in being private persons for an example, like no, that

811
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: sounds cool and don't really you know so and like

812
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: everybody could use sucking two k right now. And I

813
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: fucking told them when they asked me, you know, like, well,

814
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 1: the thing that it matters for me is COVID relief.

815
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: And these motherckers said they're gonna give you a two

816
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: thousand dollar check. Joe Biden came down, he told us

817
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: that we have us to two thousand check. We're not

818
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: gonna I was like, you get us in there immediately.

819
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: And that's the other thing is that they were like immediately,

820
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: it's like vote for us, the whear us and get

821
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: your two k immediately. That was the messaging. And now

822
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: we're talking about by like April. I just don't. I

823
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 1: just feel personally upset because like like a wind of people,

824
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: y'all make a lot of people. I believe, I believe

825
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: to you, and I'm sucking us. Oh you're talking to

826
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: people for you about it. Even the mention that they're

827
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: even thinking about doing that is stupid and they should

828
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: just go with the two thousand dollars. The thing, look,

829
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: look at all these all these all these executive actions

830
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,479
Speaker 1: that are like pretty good. But you know what, it's

831
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: hard to explain when I'm out canvass in in the

832
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: hood where the fucking matter were back in the Paris

833
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: Climate Agreement. An't nobody give a ship if you've got

834
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 1: to fucking wear a mask on federal property. I couldn't

835
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: even point to you a piece of federal property over

836
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: and all the block. But one thing, one thing I

837
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: will say that people were going to remember that. People

838
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: are going to remember that they will. But one thing

839
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: I will say is that Joe Biden has been president

840
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: for seven days. He's been That's all I'm saying is

841
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: that he's been president for seven days, which is not

842
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: a long time. I don't know, I don't know. I

843
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: I just like I think political again, like I said, politically,

844
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: I don't even think the should be a discussion, Like

845
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that anyone should even be questioning whether

846
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: these just need to be two thousand dollar checks. But

847
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: realistically it's just like I don't know, I don't know.

848
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't, I don't know, it doesn't. It's not like

849
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,439
Speaker 1: a deal breaker with me right now. I just think

850
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: I think it's just incredibly politically stupid. Yeah, it's super

851
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: politically stupid. I just don't think it's like ha ha,

852
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: we fleeced you and now we won't get you know

853
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: what I mean, at least that's not why. At least

854
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: that's not what I think. But I mean, I don't

855
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: regret anybody else for feeling that way. It's just so

856
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: funny because the discourse has always been like, oh, you know,

857
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: don't criticize Biden right now, he's got to make it

858
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 1: through the president, you know, the presidential election. Well, anybody

859
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: who's saying don't criticize Biden right now can need a dick.

860
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: But it's funny. It's because the people with the politicals

861
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: happy to realize they're shooting themselves in the foot for

862
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: because the one of the forthcoming steps along that process

863
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: or this on this hamster wheel, it's like, don't criticize Biden,

864
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: like we gotta win two and like keep the Senate now,

865
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: or like expand our margin in the House, or expect

866
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: you actually take the Senate by it you know, actually

867
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: you know number of seats. Yeah, it's like y'all are

868
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: the ones already sucking up. It's not mine criticizing you

869
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 1: that pushed you into this position where like people are

870
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna hate you because you lined to them. Well, if

871
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: you if you're if for people out there who are progressive,

872
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: I feel like if you are hoping for Biden to

873
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: go more left, then you should continue to hope that

874
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: the Republicans divulge into this Q and non madness ship

875
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: that they're doing and just like become completely unreasonable to

876
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: work with and every facet all of them. And then

877
00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: then I think, I think, you know, the Democrats might

878
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: straighten up a little bit. Are you trying drop about music? Hello,

879
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: we'll get at the music discussion right after the job,

880
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: all right, so this matter, we're gonna first listen to

881
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: a track that mc lemore dropped. I believe this was

882
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: on Biden's inauguration. Drop this, It made us made some

883
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: noise on the internet. A lot of people were upset.

884
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't understand why. But let's take a little listen

885
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 1: Big Drive, Blue Lives Matter, talking about the right. Everybody

00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:54,240
Speaker 1: with mac lemore style. Yeah, but I appreciate mac Lemore.

888
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: I really do. I'm not like saying that like as

889
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: a joker, facetiously, Like because of mac Lemore. I had

890
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: a little cousin asked me, who's grandmaster? Has you know

00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: in the right place. This is actually I don't know

894
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: what the big deal is, you know, I just I

895
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: tend to not give people points for having their hearts

896
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: in the right place. Like I only funk with smart people,

897
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: and like he doesn't have a great track record of that,

898
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: but like I appreciate that anybody being like, I don't

899

Speaker 1: his like lifted truck, the face of a gas station

904
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: attendant or whatever. Like, I just know nobody was talking

905
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: about the content of what mc lamore was saying, and

906
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: everybody was saying that it was cringe, and it was cringe,

907
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: and it was cringe, and that was the word I

908
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 1: kept here in associated with this track more than anything.

909
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: Oh it's cringe. Oh it's cringe. Now, I've been listening

910
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: to rap music for a long, long, long long time.

911
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: If this Maclamore ship was the ship that you heard

912
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: this week the world him that made you cringe, I

913
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: dare say you're not listening to pop because some of

914
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: these motherfucker's will listen to a motherfucker freestyle and go.

915
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: But I I kept perceive it as cringe and that

916
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: it's preachy, and like some people don't listen to music

917
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: to like hear a rappers opinion about shit. I don't

918
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: understand that. I don't understand that. I don't understand that.

919
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Yeah, I mean again, I can listen

920
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: to it and I can be like, oh, yeah, I

921
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: don't funk with that. Why oh he wasn't rhyming enough

922
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: and like I don't like the way he was flowing

923
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: to the beat or no, that style was too slow.

924
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,879
Speaker 1: I thought he should have come faster over that beat,

925
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Or yo, that one line there,

926
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 1: it was like, no, I don't funk with that line.

927
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 1: That line didn't make no sense of something like that.

928
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: But I don't know if like if a rapper wraps

929
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 1: in in, your response is like, oh, that's cringe. I

930
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: don't care what the rapper was rapping about, what the

931
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: rapper was saying. As a hip hop head, I'm probably

932
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: not listening to a word that. You know. The person

933
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: who's given that opinion is like, Okay, a cringe, that's

934
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: your that's your servation of this beautiful art form that

935
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 1: we love. It's just cringe. That's all you got to say.

936
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 1: Get out of here with that ship, like you know,

937
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: for yourself, I was like, well, I mean aesthetically, I

938
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: don't think I didn't expect it to be when I

939
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: thought when I when I came into it, assuming it

940
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 1: was going to be current. I thought it was because

941
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bad rapping. Yeah, me too to Really,

942
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't like example, it wasn't good rapping

943
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: regular bars. It was matter more regular bars, you know

944
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, there's so many crash bars out

945
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: there that like, when you get a and bars, it

946
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: could feel like a full course. Jess Christ, I'm sweating

947
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: when we lay down. Okay. Up next, we got Kodak

948
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: Black with his track Last Day, in which I guess

949
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: was recorded after his parted I live him crazy, but

950
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 1: you're fame, and I'd try to spend my East Damn

951
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: Miami Okay, Kodak colection sing ever no never, no never.

952
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: Just want to get that all right? Cut that cut that,

953
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: like I mean because I know like or at least

954
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: I seem to recall that, like you don't like sing

955
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: rappers period, But that's not why I don't like that.

956
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: Pull it off and pack obviously, like that's his whole name,

957
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: Like there's been there, there's precedent set, but it can

958
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 1: be done. Look. Look, unfortunately, I would almost rather the

959
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: entire subgenre of sing rapping be abolished just so I

960
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: would not have to have her that yo. I I'm

961
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: not a fan of sing rap, but it is what

962
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: it is. I can appreciate it when it's done. Well,

963
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: that was just bad, Joe, And like I want to

964
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: talk about it because like I think that he's talking

Speaker 1: about wanting to see a lover out of jail about

966
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: like you didn't even call and check on me, which

00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: with these niggas, because like Trump got these niggas hitting

00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: It's bad. Um, I don't know, I don't even know

991
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: what to say. It's like it's hard to even get

992
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: into the ship. It's I believe it was Forest Whitaker

993
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: who once said this sucks the sweat of a dead

994
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: man's balls. I don't even know what the funk that

995
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: ship means, but it sounds appropriate for this ship. I mean,

996
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the lyrics right now for like some

997
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: of the clever word play, like I've always loved his

998
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: ability with metaphor his like uh punch lines. The private

999
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: plane went and got one that's more private. Good job? Um, alright,

1000
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,919
Speaker 1: produced world wrote it on two cups, poor little juice

1001
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: for him? Sup, gave me goose bumps. Wait wait, wait

1002
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: when he says poor little juice for him? Is he

1003
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 1: talking about porn? More lean? I you know, I just

1004
00:59:54,920 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that inappropriate? Up? Bron the man, I

1005
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: keep going, keep going? Anything else? That really? You mentioned

1006
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Trump at all? No? I mean he talks about like,

1007
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, the FBI getting arrested by the FBI, um,

1008
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: trying to hide from getting high. That's it. Okay. The

1009
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: Little Wayne song was better than the Kodak song, but

1010
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: they were both not dope. In my opinion, they were

1011
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: both not dope. Yeah I was. I'm kind of disappointed.

1012
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: You know what. The last rapper, the last rapper who

1013
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: put out like a joint right after they got out

1014
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: of jail that I really dug, was Gucci Man with

1015
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: the track First Day Out. But Nigga, I can't wait.

1016
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:51,600

Speaker 1: listening that year for the last like four years. Yeah,

1019
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: he's like, Yo, I just got the jail. I don't

1020
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: know how to just like take my time because that's sober.

1021
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,240

Speaker 1: interview with rock him once and he was breaking down

1042
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: how his You know, he took a lot of his

1043
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: cues from jazz, so he always envisions his rhyming like

1044
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: a sacks playing on the track, like the way that

1045
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: you know. And he's a trained saxophone player too, so

1046
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: like he always imagines his raps being like a saxophone

1047
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: playing on the track. And that Toler song, This far

Speaker 1: me a good idea for that we're going to start

1063
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: doing in this episode. Is since we have yet to

1064
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 1: figure out how to link a playlist of some sort

1065
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: along with the podcast, I'm sure there's an easy way

1066
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: to do it. We're just dumb, and we're going to

1067
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: start writing the songs that we talk about within the

1068
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: episode description. So so for you guys who do want

1069
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: to go check with that, because somebod y'all be hitting

1070
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: me up to you know, ask. First of all, y'all,

1071
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: hit me out to say, hey, can you tell me

1072
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: the songs that you guys are talking about? I'm like, yo,

1073
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: can't you listen to this ship? But but yeah, I

1074
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: know we're gonna start including the songs in the episode descriptions,

1075
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: so if you want to go find those, you can

1076
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,479
Speaker 1: look for those. And in the future, like I said,

1077
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,760

1083
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: give one to my mother and a couple from my

1084
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: squaddle due. It'll come in handy because I was thinking

1085

Speaker 1: of robbing you. It's just a joke. I ain't doing crime.
