Honestly, the hardest part 31 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: of this episode was figuring out which phrase I'm gonna 32 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: use to give us an in road to what I 33 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: want to talk about, because there's a few nuances in 34 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: the meetings of each of these things. You know what 35 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like if somebody says, hey, hey, say that 36 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: to my face and nowadays you you know, you talk 37 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: about like these net bangers. You know what I'm saying, 38 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: These foods that be hard online, but they won't never 39 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: pull up in person, you know what I'm saying, Like, 40 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: so when you say, hey, hey, hey, why don't you 41 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: why don't you bring that. That's another thing. You say, Hey, 42 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: bring that same energy when I see you. You know 43 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, When I pull up on you, I 44 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: want to see that same energy. Now, what was all 45 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: that you was talking online? You know what I'm saying. 46 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: So that's basically it's like, okay, you you know you're 47 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: really scared. You you're talking real big right now. But 48 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: we know you actually a Howard and it's a challenge 49 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: to be like, all right, you know what I'm saying. 50 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: Say what you mean, Say what you said, then tell him, 51 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: Tell him what you were saying online. Tell me if 52 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, to say it to my face. 53 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: Is basically like I'm challenging you. You was talking real 54 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: hard behind my back, but you're too scared to say 55 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: it in front of me because you know I'm gonna 56 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: fire on you. But one of the greatest gifts that 57 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: has been given to the culture, y'all can feel however 58 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: you feel about the phrase the culture. You know what 59 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But one of the greatest gifts was given 60 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: to us was by the harmy Kevin Hart when he 61 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: gave us his uncle Richard Jr. When he got out 62 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: of jail say it with your chess.

That's still 66 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: one of the greatest stand ups Kevin has ever given us, 67 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: say with your chess. Let's talk about the former d 68 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: O j OH official Jeffrey Cark talking about I ain't 69 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: coming to testify in the January six committee being like, 70 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: come out here and say it with your chest. Bring 71 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: that energy to my face. Po politics, y'all. All right, Welcome, welcome, welcome, 72 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: uh epi kuanza because that's the only holiday I recognized. 73 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: Now I'm just playing. I'm down for any of them. 74 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: You get a day off work anyway, man, Listen today, 75 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: there's gonna be quite a vocabulary list for you to 76 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: understand what's happening. I tell you watch this. Once I 77 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: tell you the vocabulary like you if you're from the city, 78 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: and then you gonna understand exactly what's happening right here. 79 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: Because once you know what they mean by these phrases, 80 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I see, I see what's happening in here? 81 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: All right? So I'm gonna talk to tell y'all what 82 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: it means to be held in contempt of court or 83 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: contempt of Congress, and tell you what it means about 84 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: something to be privileged information, and what it means to 85 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: plead the fifth. They all mean something. And you know, 86 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: there's a way that you can when it comes to 87 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: testifying before Congress, just get him a written letter or 88 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: do an interview without having to officially testify, because once 89 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: you officially testify us, that's a whole different story, right, 90 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: And you can say, there's a lot of ways to 91 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: not answer a question. That's what I'm gonna get into. 92 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: One way is to be like, y'all, this is this 93 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: is privileged information, whether it's attorney client, whether it's uh, 94 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: you know, you're a psychologist, you know what I'm saying. 95 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: It's like in in that counselor that situation, or it's 96 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: like you work for the president, so it's executive privilege. 97 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: And I don't have to tell you this because it's 98 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: an issue of security. I ain't gotta tell you, which 99 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: is very different than being like, I plead the fifth. 100 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: But we're gonna get into all that. But let's back up. 101 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna talk to you about a few dutes. 102 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: Who was basically like, man, why don't y'all sit down 103 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: somewhere you know you ain't gonna do nothing like look 104 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: fall back, have several seats.

So we've talked about this 113 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: committee before the January six committee, trying to decide when 114 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: I decide, trying to really investigate, get their brain around 115 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: what the hell happened and how did we let this 116 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: happen on our watch? Um as far as the insurrection, 117 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: the siege on the capitol, who's really in charge, who 118 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: was calling the shots? Who knew what was going down? 119 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: Why y'all ain't do nothing? Did you notice what's gonna 120 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: happen before it was gonna happen. Did you orchestrate this happening? 121 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: And once it was going down, was you helping? And 122 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: why do you why the hell you think this is okay? 123 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: Because y'all out here talking about Man, y'all ain't gonna 124 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: do shit. And you know, I think if they do. 125 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: We've talked about this before. If they do, it's gonna 126 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: be something very light, right. But some folks in the 127 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: committee is like, no, Nick, I ain't letting that ship ride. 128 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: Y'all almost had us killed. I know your attitude about this. 129 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: It's like, man, you're not gonna do but like, look, 130 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: let me show you what we're gonna do. Work, Come 131 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: catch my faith. There's some people on the January Sist 132 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: Committee that's like, oh, I'm not okay, Come say it 133 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: to my face. Then I ain't gonna do nothing, all right, 134 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: bet come say it to my face. All right? You 135 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like some of the foods is 136 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: like that, okay, bring that same energy here, come say 137 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: it to me. So they're asking questions like, all right, 138 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: who was there? Who knew? Who didn't know? How can 139 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: we hold you all accountable for some of this, which, 140 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: as y'all know, again, if I mean, you can watch 141 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: just watching movie. You ain't even gotta be from the 142 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: city to know just watching movie. You know, uh, foot 143 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: soldiers moved when they told to be moved. Somebody called 144 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: a shot. Somebody gave a green light. And remember we 145 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: talked about this a long time ago. Like that, I mean, 146 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: clearly that was a green light. What what what old 147 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: Trump he did like that? Nobody misinterpreted that mug you 148 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: say it as vague as you won't, but I was 149 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: a green light, you know what I'm saying. But you know, Trump, 150 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: he ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. Or maybe 151 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: he is and I just don't know. Maybe he just 152 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: playing this game like this. But the point is, you 153 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: gotta have executioners. You gotta have doers, you gotta have 154 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: you gotta have the you know, shooters if you will 155 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: to part and that's gonna go make it happen. After 156 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: you called the shot, right that that that pulls off 157 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: the logistical parts of these situations, which which is normally 158 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: your staff, you know what I'm saying. So we need 159 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: to start talking to the staff because like VAM, you 160 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: mean to tell me. Look, look, because here's here's here's 161 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: the two options. I think we may have brought this 162 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: up before. Either you knew exactly what was going down 163 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: and you let it go down. You saw it was happening, 164 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: and you ain't stopped it because you liked it, which 165 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: means what we all thought, which is, this man is 166 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: a madman, is not fit for office. That man is 167 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: so selfish that he willing to burn his own vice 168 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: president for this mug. He'll burn the whole city down 169 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: if he can't have it like that's that's what that means. 170 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: Or you so soft, you so not a boss. You 171 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: have no control over these people and they do what 172 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: the hell they want to do and you couldn't have 173 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: stopped them. Means you created a monster and you ain't 174 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,119 Speaker 1: the boss you're trying to tell us you are, because 175 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: Data did. Data took matters in their own hands and 176 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: you can't stop them. You don't even know what they 177 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: was doing. You don't even you ain't even got your 178 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: hood and check the niggas don't listen to you. They 179 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: do what they won't you. I mean, these are the 180 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: only two options. So the January six commedie is trying 181 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: to figure out, Okay, which one is it. So there's 182 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: a couple of heads. They asked to come in to 183 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: make some statements. Steve Mannon we'll get to him, Mark 184 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: Meadows will get to him. And Jeffrey Clark, which is 185 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: the one made made me decide, Okay, yeah, we need 186 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: to do an episode about this, maybe because he used 187 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: to work for the Department of Justice. So, like, I 188 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: just think this is such an interesting story and it's 189 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: so hood. So you asked them to come make make 190 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: some statements. Now let's get into this vocabulary, all right, 191 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: let's take a breakthrough and here here some headlight slaps. 192 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: I can't believe I said it like that because I 193 00:10:47,520 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: just think it's funny slaps. All right, So here we 194 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: go as a banger. Wasn't it nicest move? That's called 195 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: a white boy on Earth right there? Anyway, I'm talking 196 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: about headlights. Anyway, when the Congress puts together a committee, 197 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: they're investigating something. And now granted they can't necessarily put 198 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: you in jail, but they could recommend jail, right unless 199 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: you start acting, unless you start tripping, you know what what 200 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Because remember, the Congress is not a court. 201 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: The the courts are courts, right, but they could be 202 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: like a h unless they hold you in contempt, in 203 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: which case that's a misdemeanor. You understand what I'm saying. 204 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: So when the Congress is investigating something or trying to 205 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: do something, they have the absolute right. When I absolute, 206 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to say it like that, but they 207 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: have because that invokes something else. But anyway, they have 208 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: a right to tell you to be like, hey, you 209 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: need to come talk to us because we're trying to 210 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: figure this thing out. So then they send which similar 211 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: to court, they send a subpoena. Right subpoena is like, Yo, 212 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: you gotta appear in court, you gotta come testify. Right, 213 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: And there's some nuances I want to get in get 214 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: in between between like testifying and interviews. Uh, being interviewed 215 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: or asked some questions is different than like giving your 216 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: your statement, Like that's a it's it. There's a lot 217 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: to it. Look, just don't get into just just don't 218 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: get in the system so that you ain't gotta worried 219 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: about none of this. Right. Oh anyway, Um, when they 220 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: ask you to come, you know what they expect you. Obviously, 221 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: you gotta tell the truth. You gotta do what you 222 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: gotta do. But sometimes you could be like nigger, I 223 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: ain't coming, and then the Congress could decide like, uh, 224 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: do you have a good reason to not come? And 225 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: if you don't, they can do something called holding you 226 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: in contempt, specifically contempt of Congress. Now, I'm gonna give 227 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: you this thing called the Legal Information Institute. It's like 228 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: an open source, open access law since ninety two, so 229 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: you can you can, uh, if you want some like 230 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: legal definitions from stuff, you can go find that. It's 231 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: it's super helpful, right. Um, it's at Uh it's part 232 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: of Cornell. So contempt of Congress. I'm gonna read to it. 233 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: So check this out. Contempt of Congress is when an 234 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: individual intentionally interferes with the congressional action. Congress has the 235 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: power to restrain such individuals from interfering with those actions. 236 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: It's a form of contempt, uh some or to contempt 237 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: of court right now. Check this out on a recent more, 238 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: congress abilities to hold individuals in contempt who interfere with 239 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: its duties is considered and implied power of legislature. The 240 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: U Supreme Court summarized this principle in nineteen seventeen in 241 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: the case called um Oarshal versus Gordon stating, in virtue 242 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: of the grant of legislative authorities, there will be power 243 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: implied to deal with contempt insofar as authority was necessary 244 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: to preserve and carry out the legislative authority given that is, 245 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: although the Federal Constitution does not explicitly provide the Congress 246 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: the power to hold individuals in contempt, such power is 247 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: considered implied because without it, Congress would not effectively be 248 00:14:50,200 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: able to carry out its duties. That makes sense. So 249 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: there's no like written, like explicit law that says you 250 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: could do this, but it's understood. It's like, nigga, how 251 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna do our job if I have no way 252 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: of holding you accountable for not giving us a testimony? 253 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: You follow me? Now, The question is, okay, so Congress 254 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: say court say you're held in contempt. It's like nigga 255 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: and okay, what does that mean? You feel me? It's 256 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: almost like getting getting a ticket from them, uh, from 257 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: them intersection cameras, nigga and okay, so I'm gonna show 258 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: up in court. Well, okay, So if I'm gonna show 259 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: up in court to pay this ticket or to or 260 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: to fight this ticket, there wasn't no arresting officer. You're 261 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: not gonna collect this money? What if I just don't pay? 262 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: I ain't got it. So Nigga and jumps, I may 263 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: have just gave you all game. That's why they took 264 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: the camera the cameras out of the intersections in California 265 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: because there's no way to collect because I'm like, nick, 266 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: I didn't get it. It didn't come into mail. I 267 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: don't know what happened, Like UK, hold be accountable for it. 268 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: So what does it mean once you're held in contempt? 269 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: What happens to you? Well, as of now, it's a misdemeanor, 270 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: which means you could either get uh a thousand dollar fine. 271 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: So it's like okay, cool break, you know, pay the 272 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: fine and twelve months in prison. Nigger, you could go 273 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: to jail for a year because like, okay, so there's 274 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: that when you held in contempt, you can fight the contempt. 275 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: I mean, but like, you know, good luck, my nigg 276 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: In other words, it's like, hey, let me hie at 277 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: you right quick, Hey, let me ask you a question, 278 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: and you like, nigger, I ain't coming, And they're like, 279 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: oh where you ain't coming?

And I'm like, I'm related. 352 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: They're like, no, you don't you know what I'm saying. 353 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: Like now we feel you know, just run around the corner, 354 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: you know, real quick, blaho whoo. You know what I'm saying. 355 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: YadA YadA, will be right back like, oh, it's privileged, 356 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,479 Speaker 1: it's privileged information. So executive privilege again I'm reading from 357 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: Cornell's law school. It's his Executive privilege is the power 358 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: of the president and other officials in the executive branch 359 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: to withhold certain form of confidential communication from the courts 360 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: and the legislative branch. When executive privilege is invoked in litigation, 361 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: the court should weigh its applicability by balancing the competing instrance. 362 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: The Constitution is silent. Follow me, constitution ain't perfect. We're 363 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: gonna talk about that little later, but at a later episode. 364 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: But the Constitution is silent in executive power to withhold 365 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: information from the courts or Congress. The privilege is rooted 366 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: in the Separation of Powers doctrine that divided the power 367 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: of the United States government into legislative, executive, and judicial branches. 368 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: Are you following that. It's not like there's a law 369 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: that says in the Constitution a this is called privilege. 370 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: That's not there. Again, it's an implied thing, which is 371 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: why you know, strict constitutionalists are like, NIGGD, do you 372 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: even understand the document you're reading because it's ship that's 373 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: not said in there? Dare nobody say that, right? I 374 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: gotta figure it out based on what is there? So 375 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: how are you gonna be a strict institutional list? What 376 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Which gets into a whole 377 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: conversation about law theory and when we're getting Supreme Court 378 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: justices and then those dudes that testified in the impeachment 379 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: trial for President Trump. Yeah, I should do a whole 380 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: episode on that. Like the purists are like, look, they 381 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: the this is a fixed document, they said, what they meant, 382 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: our job is to do what it says. Others are like, well, 383 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: they didn't cover everything, so we have to interpret it 384 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: and retool it for now. But that's a whole other convo. 385 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: But it's rooted in a separation of powers, which means 386 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: I have to understand that, like, you don't have the 387 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: right to make me tell you something that I don't 388 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: think I should tell you that does Does that make sense? 389 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: It's a separation of powers, like you don't got the 390 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: power because if the Congress couldn't make you tell then 391 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, well then you've got more power than me. 392 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: But the way that the system of checks and balances 393 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: works is like, well, if you could you can assert 394 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: that that like all right, na homie, Hey, this is 395 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: privn of information. Man, I can't tell y'all, then the 396 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: Congress has to go okay, or or whatever has to 397 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: be like, or the courts have to be like okay, 398 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: dang is that like I mean, does this apply? Like 399 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: is that true? Or I mean if our lives are 400 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: in danger. Then I get to be like, I don't know, homie, 401 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: we could all die. You feel me like you could? 402 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: This could kill our democracy, my nigga, Like, so I 403 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: think maybe you gotta cough up some of this information. 404 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is for the good of the 405 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: nation by the homie, Like, I don't know if you 406 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: can call this way. It sounds to me like you 407 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: just don't want to snitch. That sounds like a little 408 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: different than there's a difference between executive privilege and I'm 409 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: just not trying to snitch. You do you feel me? 410 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: So you gotta figure that out. You know, United States 411 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: versus Nixon and the Watergate scandal, it established that even 412 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: a president has a legal duty to provide evidence once 413 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: communications with his aids when the information is relevant to 414 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: a criminal case. You're following me that you know the 415 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: Watergate scandal next on horror, that's my Nixon. That situation 416 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: was like, look, man, you you you're facing criminal charges here, 417 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: and this ship is really you can't you can't just 418 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: always call it. And that's one thing that old Trump 419 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: don't get nigked, like, you can't just you can't just 420 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: claim executive privilege. Oh everything, big dog, like you ain't 421 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: do your homework. There is a moment where we can 422 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: make you talk. Y'all, ain't gonna do nothing, man, come 423 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: get me, okay. And then lastly, I want to talk 424 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: to you about pleading the Fifth. You know, when somebody 425 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: says or somebody when you're hearing the Miranda rights like 426 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: you have the right to remain silent. That is a 427 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: reference to the Fifth Amendment, which is uh a UN 428 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: amendment that says I have the right to not incriminate myself. Right, 429 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: that's what that's what you're saying, is like, I'm gonna 430 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: plead this because if I were to answer this question, 431 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: I am going to prove myself guilty. And I don't 432 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: know if I'm ready to prove myself guilty. It's a 433 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: cool like law, but it has a lot of implications. 434 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: Now when I say implications, I mean that it's implied. Now. 435 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: Old Trump he was like, you know when it was 436 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: when it wasn't His homiesn't understand. He was like, why 437 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: would you plead the Fifth if you've got nothing to hide? 438 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: It sounds to me like you're guilty. You're trying not 439 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: to because you're because it's about not incriminating yourself, right, right. 440 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: So he's like, no, if you plead the fifth, that 441 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: means you're guilty, but it don't necessarily mean you guilty. 442 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: It just mean look like, look, I'm not answering this 443 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: question because it might make me seem guilty. But you 444 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: can't answer the question. You can't like and that's not 445 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: gonna stand up in law in the court to just 446 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: be like, well, I think because you didn't say nothing, 447 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: that must mean this. No, it is your right as 448 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: a citizen to be like, lead the fifth because for 449 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: something that uh give Dave Chappelle gave us for anyway. Fifth. 450 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: So yeah, you don't have to incriminate yourself. That's a 451 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: great law to have. Now let's talk about the homies. 452 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: Take a break though, all right, we're back in the building, 453 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: the back and his billions.
