1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: I've heard some cold things come out of a gangster's mouth.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Some of those were just because that particular person is

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: just soul was seared from the trauma of living in

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: the war zone their whole life. But one of the

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: coldest sayings you hear out of a gang member, at

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: least in my mind, is the phrase, thus die daily.

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: Things die every day. It sucks because it's true theis

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: do die every day. But that is somebody's baby. I mean,

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: that's somebody, that's somebody's like life cut short, somebody playing done.

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: But the thing they're trying to communicate is that, like,

11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: it sucks, but it happens. And at the end of

12
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: the day, the hood come first, the set last bosses

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: come and go. Hood comes first, Hood politics, y'all comes first.

14
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: So today we're in one of the this bizarro world

15
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: which were already would have been a bizarre world because

16
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: this is what they called the lame duck season. President

17
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: as new president has been elected depending on who you ask,

18
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get into that um and the sitting

19
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: president has a job to continue to govern. I mean

20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: you're supposed to um and try to like tie up

21
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: some loose ends that would be if politics was not

22
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: gang banging, it would be really that simple. Just tie

23
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: up some loose ends, finish up your work. You know,

24
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: you got projects you want to make sure, like are

25
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: setting stone, you know, start cleaning up around the house

26
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: because you gotta move out. You know what I'm saying,

27
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: handing over keys, you know, giving log in information, you

28
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like what's the WiFi code? Just

29
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: like you know, I mean it's you rented there. This

30
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: is a rented spot. You feel me like you do

31
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: your best with the with the with the thing, but

32
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: you know y'all own this house. My make feel me

33
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: like you just a charge for now house belonging to us.

34
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: That would be if this wasn't gang banging. Since it's

35
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: gang banging, you got some scores to settle. You feel

36
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: me like you ain't supposed to just be sitting around.

37
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying, like you gotta make sure

38
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: the people around you so that your legacy don't ever

39
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: get wiped away. Because again, the hood comes first. They

40
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: just died. Daily presidents come and go, elected officials come

41
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: and go. I say all this to try to lay

42
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: out for you the calculus that the GOP is working

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: through right now. Some of y'all might be a little

44
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: confused as you're watching what I would say, some in

45
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: house beefing when you got like to crip hohoods fighting

46
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: against each other like sixties and eight trades, Like, uh,

47
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: I know that's that's a deep cut. But you know,

48
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: if if you know your hip hop, follow me like this,

49
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: Uh Nipsey Hustle was a was a ruling sixty crip

50
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: and school Boy Q was an eight tray crip. You

51
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: know they I mean they right around the corner from

52
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: each other, but they never really got along. There's a

53
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: whole video with Monster Cody, who was another like O

54
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: g uh L a gangster, kind of explains where it started.

55
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: It started over a party. It was stupid, but either way,

56
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: they've been beefing for decades. But they're both crips, right,

57
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: so if we were gonna look at look inside were

58
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: blood of kins over there and sort of see really

59
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: what's going on in their house. It's the calculus I

60
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: was trying to tell y'all um last week, where you

61
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: have to decide either you're gonna go down with this

62
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: boss right or you're gonna set yourself up for the

63
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: next guy that's gonna take charge, because the Republican Party

64
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: gonna last. I mean, Trump has moved it in a

65
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: lot of ways. I think he's caused an identity crisis,

66
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: but the party lasts. The Party's gonna outlast any other

67
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: person that's sat on top of it. So you gotta

68
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: make your calculus you're gonna I mean, are we are

69
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: we playing a long game here, We're playing a short

70
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: game here. So we're in a situation where this man

71
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: is convinced um or at least he's publicly convinced. I

72
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: have my doubts about what's happening inside the White House itself,

73
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: because I know gangsters. Now, who knows what's gonna happen

74
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: between the day I'll record this and the day it

75
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: comes out. So this is Friday the thirteenth that I'm recording.

76
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: As of today, Trump is still saying this race ain't over,

77
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: and he's pushing I'm sorry, y'all, but it's just it's

78
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: these are the facts. He's pushing verifiably false statements right

79
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: about the legitimacy of this election. I know because his

80
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: own department at Homeland Security, his his old his own

81
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: administration is like, look, put some respect on our name.

82
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: We did our job. This the most secure election we'd

83
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: never had. We remember two thousand and sixteen. We remember

84
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: when the Russians told us like like we was chumps.

85
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: You feel me, Like, we remember all that, So look

86
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: respect on our name. We we did our part. You know. Now,

87
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: if you won't recount, you got the right to do that.

88
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: But my name get Look we did our role. Don't

89
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: don't you put that on me? Ricky, Bobby, what the

90
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: what the Department is saying? But the question comes if

91
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: you're an elected official, like if you're a senator, you're

92
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: down battle it. You're looking at this election and you're

93
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: seeing what I'm trying to tell y'all, which is the

94
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: hood comes first. Because what these ballots are showing me

95
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: is that the people chose to set over the boss.

96
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: How do I know that? It's because the Congress didn't flip.

97
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: That means that people had mixed ballots. They voted blue

98
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: here and read there. They said to themselves, look, we

99
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: still believe in small government. So I want this senator,

100
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: I want this legislator, I want this governor, I want

101
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: these laws. But I'm cool on this Nick. They chose

102
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 1: the hood over the boss, and I have no choice

103
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: but to respect that. I respect it. So if you

104
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: down ballot, you gotta do this calculus. You gotta say, Okay,

105
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: it's not like this boss, this Trump guy don't have

106
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: a legion of fans who are willing to go down

107
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: in the in the ship with him. You also gotta

108
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: be bugging because you know, like he actually could pull

109
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: off winning. Are they staging a coup? Well, now you

110
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: can't really call it the coup because the army is

111
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: not involved, because that's kind of like you need you

112
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: need the military for something to be a coup. I

113
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: don't think it's that, but yeah. I also, now let

114
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: me say this, there is a legal way for old

115
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: Trumpet to state president. You just it's pretty convoluted, but

116
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: and quite a long shot. But essentially, you'd have to

117
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: sew enough disbelief into our last election into the election

118
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: enough to get the courts to say and you gotta

119
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: throw out audise like electoral votes because you just can't

120
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: trust it. You can't trust it, and then make the

121
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: states select new electors, right because remember, electoral college is

122
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: like there, dudes, they're just dudes that the state chooses.

123
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: It's you get. You take the amount of senators and

124
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: the amount of just basically the yeah, the amount of

125
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: senators and representatives you have in a state, you add

126
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: them together, and that's how many electors the state gets there.

127
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: So they're just dudes. The president could pressure states to

128
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: select new electors and then those guys can basically pick

129
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: whoever they want, and then it's very possible that that

130
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: one state sends two different choices like went red and blue.

131
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: And then it's up to the Congress to figure out

132
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: which one of those electoral votes that you believe or

133
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: listen to. And the person who get to decide that

134
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: is the person that presides over the Congress, which is

135
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: the Vice president Mike Pence gets to pick which elected

136
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: to listen to. So there's a way, but it's a

137
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: long shot. But there is life after him. So you

138
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: have to do this calculus to say, I'm not necessarily

139
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: scared of Trump, but I'm scared of his followers. I'm

140
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: scared of losing the neighborhood. I can't have a neighborhood

141
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: flip on me if I just start talking reckless about

142
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: their favorite dude. Because again, if you know how Senate works.

143
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: Their terms are six years. President's terms only four. You're

144
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna outlast him anyway. I still gotta work with these people.

145
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: So you gotta figure out the calculus. How do I say,

146
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go down with this fool, because I

147
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: know the hood comes first, the hood gonna lasts forever.

148
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: At the same time, I can't turn the neighborhood against me.

149
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: Now when I say the hood, like, this is what

150
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to understand what I mean hood and neighborhood.

151
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: When I say the neighborhood, I'm talking about the people

152
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: that live in the neighborhood. When I talk about the hood,

153
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: that's just it's a shorthand for the gang. That makes

154
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: sense the name of the gang. But the neighborhood is

155
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: the people that are in it. So when you're saying, look,

156
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I can't have the neighborhood turn against me. You can't

157
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: have the literal people inside the houses say you're not

158
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: allowed to slang on this corner no more. You can't

159
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: have that happen. If they chose that they like this dude,

160
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: they ain't gonna rock with you, and you can't. You

161
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: can't set up your activities, you feel me. So you

162
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: have to make sure that you don't lose the support

163
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: of the neighborhood. But at the same time, you can't

164
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: torpedo on your future by going down with somebody that

165
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: inevitably is going down. It's calculus, and it's a hard calculus,

166
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: and I think we're watching it play out on screen.

167
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Now that's the calculus from the Mactro perspective. The hood

168
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: comes first. Now the calculus that if I'm using my

169
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: gangster intentders are happening inside the White House. I think

170
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things going down. If I understand

171
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: how my bosses work, they don't losing its fine. Quitting

172
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: is not getting your ass beat. That's not that's not acceptable.

173
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: If you go out, you go out in the blaze

174
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: of glory. You feel me. You you you go out,

175
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: you go out like like Escobar. You understand what I'm saying, Like, no,

176
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: you gotta come in here and get me. That's that's

177
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: the way gangsters go down. You know, you have to break,

178
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: if you, and then it's like you earned it, if you,

179
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: if you, I gave I sent you my best, my

180
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: hardest warriors. We shot it up and shot as hard

181
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: as we could, and you got the best of me. Well,

182
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: damn you earned it. I'm not gonna just walk into

183
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: your hands. You're tripping with bosses work right, But they

184
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: also understand again, you gotta set up for the future

185
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: if you if you want to live through this thing again,

186
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: you can't go out like no punk, right, So you

187
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: have to have an exit strategy. Trump's extra strategy is, well,

188
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: they cheated. I would have won if y'all ain't cheat.

189
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that's a strategy because that's what

190
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: he's still saying about the popular vote. Four years ago,

191
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: y'all brought in illegals and dead people to vote. I

192
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: won the electoral College. I would have been a popular

193
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: vote if y'all ain't have all these illegals vote. Y'all

194
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: don't remember Trump saying that, which is crazy because he

195
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: lost by two million more votes this time, which means

196
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: that his his immigration policy still allowed, according to his logic,

197
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: two million mo illegals to come vote against him. So,

198
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta watch your words, big fellas. So

199
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: the strategy is you got to create it out because

200
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't kill the storyline. I'm gonna set

201
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: up shops somewhere else. If I got my ass beat

202
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: in my last hood, you can't set up shop nowhere.

203
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: What's the shop he's setting up? Well, some of them

204
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: saying he's setting up to run in. Some of them

205
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: saying he's setting up for his kids to run. Some

206
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: of I'm saying, which is the one that I'm thinking,

207
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: is like, Oh, it's business. I'm gonna live down in

208
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: mar Lago. I'm done with New York because I got

209
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: a pending case in New York. Y'all think we forgot this.

210
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: Think you think we ain't forget that. He got a

211
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: pended He got a case in New York, so he

212
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: read it for the law. You understand, I was saying,

213
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: So you got a case of New York. I'm gonna

214
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: go down to Florida. I'm gonna golf. I'm gonna set

215
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: up this news station. I'm gonna take down Fox News.

216
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: That's why he started trolling Fox News. I'm gonna take

217
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: down Fox right, and I'm gonna ride off into the

218
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: sunset and continue to make this pretend money. You know

219
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: what I stand up saying, do it? Say you gotta

220
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: you gotta, you gotta set it up. I can't, but

221
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: I can't just be like, damn my loss, now, everybody

222
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: come follow me. No, you can't do that. You have

223
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: to be like, nah, they they shot it up. They

224
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: shot the place up, and they stole what they got.

225
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: But you know what, we're gonna continue to continue to

226
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: be keepers of the flame. That's the calculus. If I'm

227
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: using my antennas, that's the calculus. Lastly, I think there's

228
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: a lot to be said about lessons we could see

229
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: about how power works in a system that is so cutthroat,

230
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: so gangster that it's only the you're basically just playing

231
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: king of the hill. Ok. And I think what we

232
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: learned is this is that when you on top, you

233
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: can't really punch down because again, you won't always be

234
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,479
Speaker 1: on top. And your little worker bees, your little cronies,

235
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: they're doing calculus, they're working their own angles, and if

236
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: you just abuse them as tools, at some point they're

237
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna start not taking your ship and be like okay, cool,

238
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: this's okay cool, and they just they just biding their time.

239
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's the lesson we're seeing with

240
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: Fox News. Fox News was Trump's microphone for a long time,

241
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: but then he started doing all this on the microphone,

242
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: and eventually Fox was like, okay, okay, uh, we see

243
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: what's happening here, And they had their own little inner

244
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: turmoil between the nion shows and the news shows, because

245
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: the opinion shows are still, you know, pushing the same narrative,

246
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: the Tucker Carson's of the world, you know what I'm saying,

247
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: that Sean Hannity's of the world. Like they're still like,

248
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, riding for the boy. But then the the

249
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: news stations themselves, like the newscasters are being like, uh,

250
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: we're not gonna airtive is. You ain't got no proof

251
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: of this stuff. We can't just be coming on the

252
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: show saying some reckless Nah, there's life after you. Fox

253
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: News has existed before you. There's life after you. Foxes,

254
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: like the Hood come first. We there's an end to

255
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: your era and we need to survive after you're done.

256
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go down with you. It was cool,

257
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: we got what we needed, but we're good. I think

258
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: the Senate is kind of doing the same thing, y'all.

259
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: Gotta remember somebody like a Mitch McConnell, which somehow another

260
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: still got his his seat in is proof to me

261
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: that Mitch understanding the hood comes first. I'm playing this

262
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: game with you. I've been playing this game with you

263
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: this whole time. People like Lindsey Graham, they they hood

264
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: comes first. There was like, look, I let you pick

265
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: on me as long as you want. I let you.

266
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: I'll let you. I'll let you do what you want

267
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: to do. Meanwhile, you didn't gave me twenty judges. I

268
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: feel like when they got their Amy Coney Barrett, they decided,

269
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: all right, look we got what we needed from him.

270
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: It's all good, We're done. The whole time Trump thought

271
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: he was using them low and behold. They knew what

272
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: they was doing the whole time. This mug was transactional.

273
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: They hustled me because I was like, man, who is bewitched? Y'all?

274
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: Like why is you doing? Why are you letting this man?

275
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: Why are you letting this man steal your whole narrative? Oh?

276
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: They wasn't letting him doing anything. They they was playing

277
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: the game because at the end of the day, Yo,

278
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: the hood comes first. So that's the g O P.

279
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: There were blood of kints. If you want to understand

280
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: this last election cycle, that's your answer. Who it comes first? Yo?

281
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. Uh, this episode was recorded by myself. Uh.

282
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: This was mixed, mastered, and scored by your boy Matt.

283
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: I would I would, I was Suski and Um theme

284
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: music still bought by the one and only d J

285
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: Shawn P. Gold Tips, Gold Tips. We will see you

286
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: next time, and next time you might see a new

287
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: logo on the art work because the politics is growing.

288
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: All right, y'all right out you know, always remember politics

289
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: is just game hanging in a nice suit. Just
