Speaker 1: Oh you a hater, You ain't willing to cater to
Speaker 1: this links and tarrotles of modern Farrell's and cable news
Speaker 1: and it was all cool to the Ghostoppo came for
Speaker 1: you all that pa, you gotta pay y'all. This year,
Speaker 1: just twenty twenty four came out swinging. It's absolutely wonderful
Speaker 1: in a year that has promised to be one of
Speaker 1: the most enraging doom scrolling. This this is a doom
Speaker 1: scrolling year. Like we we notice, and we all know
Speaker 1: how bad doom scrolling is. But this gift that the
Speaker 1: one and only Kat Williams gave us a pimp name
Speaker 1: slick Back. Like, y'all, Kat don't do interviews, He don't
Speaker 1: really pop out.
Speaker 2: He just do his movies, play his roles.
Speaker 1: You see him, you know, pop in on the Zeigeist
Speaker 1: and like, but he's the butt of a joke about
Speaker 1: how all he all drugs all these kids blah, blah
Speaker 1: blah on Shannon Sharp's podcast, the quote this man gave
Speaker 1: he takes a sip of Shannon Sharp's special Kanyak Kat
Speaker 1: is just spurraying every possible black comic. It just comics
Speaker 1: that he was like, y'all ain't put in no work.
Speaker 1: Y'all claiming to be the kings, y'all really not kings.
Speaker 1: And the thing about this is again, Kat, don't ever
Speaker 1: talk like that's what And he essentially was like, y'all
Speaker 1: can say whatever y'all want about me, that's absurd. But
Speaker 1: once you started slandering Bernie, it was like, all right,
Speaker 1: and then starts saying, you know, wild stuff that's clearly
Speaker 1: a lie, and nobody's calling nobody's calling these people on it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Shannon Shannon Sharp on his club Shay Shay, which is
Speaker 1: the name of his pod, was just gobsmacked and just
Speaker 1: had there was no reason to stop the man from talking.
Speaker 1: He was just going in, just letting the man talk.
Speaker 1: And then some other comics were catching some strays and
Speaker 1: then Shannon was like, Yo, why you gotta throw this
Speaker 1: nigga under the bus.
Speaker 2: That was funny do.
Speaker 1: Eat funny you funny dudekat just turns, takes a sip
Speaker 1: of the comnac with his pinky up and says, you
Speaker 1: have an unnatural allegiance to losers and it is not
Speaker 1: like you. We got to talk about the Nikki Haley
Speaker 1: and Ron Desanti's town last night.
Speaker 2: Politic y'all, Yo, good politic.
Speaker 1: Ron, Hey, y'all, New Year, First episode.
Speaker 2: Of the year. Man, Old man, Old man, Welcome to
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: I told y'all I was gonna be y'all's guide for
Speaker 1: this crazy election, and let's gone get started.
Speaker 2: So today's January fourth, No.
Speaker 1: Fifth, Today's January fifth that I'm recording this usually, like
Speaker 1: I said, I'm four episodes ahead, but I had to
Speaker 1: jump in and make this to a front of the
Speaker 1: line passed because so much has happened this weekend and
Speaker 1: I can't let it. I can't let too much time
Speaker 1: go in between us talking about this. I already got
Speaker 1: one in the can about Trump's cases about not being
Speaker 1: on the ballots. We already got one of George Santos
Speaker 1: and just the final party in Christmas Gift, we got
Speaker 1: of him. We got one about Nicki Haley being the
Speaker 1: black thought of the Republican Party I'll explain later. Just
Speaker 1: staying with us, we got to talk about this just
Speaker 1: incredible race for second place. This is the most tightly
Speaker 1: contested Consolation Prize red ribbon situation I've ever seen. Like
Speaker 1: these fools is going for it. I could be wrong,
Speaker 1: you know, we all could be wrong, as we know,
Speaker 1: and as what twenty sixteen and twenty twenty has taught
Speaker 1: us is that polls don't mean nothing that I think.
Speaker 1: I've said this so many times on our podcast. Polls
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, are like Yelp reviews or
Speaker 1: Google reviews. You have to feel really passionate one way
Speaker 1: or another to actually leave a review. Most people don't
Speaker 1: be leaving. Now, reviews on podcasts is different. That's because
Speaker 1: we be asking y'all too. But most of the time,
Speaker 1: and even in how many podcasts you listen to, you
Speaker 1: never review. How many restaurants you go to, you've never
Speaker 1: reviewed because even the ones you like, even the ones
Speaker 1: you don't like, because it's not that serious. So a
Speaker 1: lot of times most people don't.
Speaker 2: Most people don't leave reviews. So I know when I'm
Speaker 2: in a Poland place.
Speaker 1: First of all, if I'm in a Poling place, it's
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine number one.
Speaker 2: Because I mail my ballots in.
Speaker 1: So, first of all, you already a type of person
Speaker 1: if you actually going to the thing. Secondly, if you're
Speaker 1: not in a hurry and you got time to actually
Speaker 1: complete a survey. How many times you done call it
Speaker 1: into something and they said stay on the line and
Speaker 1: complete this five question survey?
Speaker 2: How many times you stayed online?
Speaker 1: So all that to say, we could be wrong, but
Speaker 1: as of today, you have an unnatural alliance to losers
Speaker 1: and that is not like you. Why is y'all giving
Speaker 1: these people any time in the first place? Is the
Speaker 1: point that Kat is making. It is what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: talk about. I don't understand why y'all even arguing this stuff,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna get into it. Let's talk about this
Speaker 1: strange alliance of losers now. But before I do that, y'all,
Speaker 1: this Kat Williams episode on Shannon Shar's podcast has taken up.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you anywhere near people of color, sports
Speaker 1: or comedy, then this somehow has taken over your feed
Speaker 1: in a way that things have not taken over our
Speaker 1: feed like this in a long time. Part of why, again,
Speaker 1: is because Kat usually don't be talking and then secondly
Speaker 1: because he aim and took shot at everyone, no one
Speaker 1: was safe. Ricky Smiley, Kevin Hart, the Kings of comedy,
Speaker 1: said the entertainer Steve.
Speaker 2: Harvey, no one was safe.
Speaker 1: And then to be fair and balanced, he talked about
Speaker 1: who we have respect, we respect DL He He's like,
Speaker 1: that's a real one. Dave Chappelle. He was really outside
Speaker 1: like he would. He talked about his past, the craft,
Speaker 1: the amount of shows he's done, the years he's put
Speaker 1: in being on comic view and creating all this stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, set some set some rumors straight, like the man.
Speaker 2: The man went in.
Speaker 1: They asked him about Kanye at his points about Kanye
Speaker 1: was brilliant, where he was just like, I don't understand,
Speaker 1: like we made him a celebrity.
Speaker 2: All agreed that he has.
Speaker 1: A mental illness, and then it's very cruel of us
Speaker 1: to just watch him do these things and continue to
Speaker 1: put him in situations that triggers those things and then
Speaker 1: laugh at him when he does what we all know
Speaker 1: he's gonna do. He was like, that's cruel. It breaks
Speaker 1: his heart. Such a kind response. Then he said some
Speaker 1: other stuff about his past that might be mythmaking I
Speaker 1: don't know about like being able to read when he.
Speaker 2: Was seven whatever, That's not what we're talking about here.
Speaker 1: He got enough enough for the people he named Ludacris,
Speaker 1: era of the people he named, enough for them to
Speaker 1: clap back, enough for them to make statements and respond
Speaker 1: to it, which is which means is like, like, goddamn cat,
Speaker 1: just some of the most amazing one liners he's he said,
Speaker 1: Oh man, he talked about this girl Wanda in Not
Speaker 1: Wanda Sykes, who's like a g He talked about this
Speaker 1: Girlwanda in Atlanta. That basically was like, you were referring
Speaker 1: to me derogatorily as a gay man or as part.
Speaker 2: Of the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 1: And he was like, gay people don't really like it
Speaker 1: when you use the idea of gay as derogatory. So
Speaker 1: he was like, so why would you do that to
Speaker 1: try to down me? And he goes in a community
Speaker 1: I'm not even a part of. I have no issues
Speaker 1: with the gay with the gay community, but to use
Speaker 1: it as a slur, that's why she got canceled.
Speaker 2: I was like, damn nigga, Like, yes, that's correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he went in this he said to said the
Speaker 1: entertained it looked like a walrist, like it's his his
Speaker 1: hands don't reach his weights. He was this is said,
Speaker 1: said be stealing his jokes. He was like, the man
Speaker 1: don't write, And then you could immediately go to x
Speaker 1: Twitter and see clips of said actually stealing jokes.
Speaker 2: It's just oh man, it was masterful.
Speaker 1: But the one I'm zoning in on was when he
Speaker 1: was talking about faiseon Love and Faison is the guy
Speaker 1: who played big Worm in Friday.
Speaker 2: What's that big part?
Speaker 1: I mean big Worm, Like, I don't think you applying
Speaker 1: yourself now now we can. Big Worm was an amazing
Speaker 1: character in the show, like in the movie big Worm's hilarious,
Speaker 1: Like I think Faison's funny. I'm with Senna and I
Speaker 1: think he's funny. Does he have any stand up specials? No?
Speaker 1: And cats like because he's not that good cats like
Speaker 1: he wasn't in Next Friday because his role wasn't that great.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not in Hollywood, don't.
Speaker 1: Right, But it was in Shannon Sharp defending in a
Speaker 1: way that I'm.
Speaker 2: He's like, what was wrong with Big Word?
Speaker 1: You have an unnatural alliance to losers and that is.
Speaker 2: Not like you, Like he was.
Speaker 1: So disappointed that you are defending this man. And because
Speaker 1: again Shannon Sharp, that's he's a Hall of Famer in
Speaker 1: the NFL, so he would say he was like and
Speaker 1: the argument that Kat was making was like, Bro, you
Speaker 1: can't just you shouldn't stand for a dude who's on
Speaker 1: steroids juicing talking about I'm the greatest player alive. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't even be in a conversation. You wasn't even in
Speaker 1: the gym. You cheated you if you was on steroids,
Speaker 1: you can't be in the convo. So that was Kat's point.
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, like y'all went straight to movies, Like,
Speaker 1: you wasn't outside with us, You wasn't in the gym.
Speaker 1: You like, I don't want to hear it from you.
Speaker 1: He was like, people like Earthquake, people like DL hughsley
Speaker 1: Day in the late great legend Bernie Mack. He's like
Speaker 1: they legends, they was in the gym. You can take
Speaker 1: nothing from them. I will stand for no slander for them.
Speaker 1: That's we're a team of winners attitude. But alas Republican Party,
Speaker 1: y'all really out here with these two second places talking
Speaker 1: about which one of y'all got the best silver medal? Now,
Speaker 1: with all that being said, let's let me the all
Speaker 1: jokes aside. We have an episode. Like I said that,
Speaker 1: I called her the black thought of the Republican race
Speaker 1: right now, and what I mean by that is a
Speaker 1: whole episode about it. But what I mean by that
Speaker 1: is like when you are technically on paper, probably the
Speaker 1: best choice, but you ain't gonna win, is what I
Speaker 1: mean by that. If you are again we're talking about
Speaker 1: within their house, if you are within within the Republican house,
Speaker 1: if you just looking at pound for pound, paper for paper. See,
Speaker 1: the problem with Nikki Haley is she got actual ideas. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan, and as we go through this,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna critique some of the stances she stands on.
Speaker 1: And I'm obviously I'm a drag round to saying this. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna drag him. Let me not say that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna critique some of the stances he has and
Speaker 1: let y'all decide for yourselves. I ain't gonna drag either
Speaker 1: one of them. I'm just gonna tell you what I
Speaker 1: would tell you what they trying to say. Anyway, Nikki
Speaker 1: Hayley seems to keep making a mistake that Elizabeth Warren
Speaker 1: and Hillary Clinton made which is actually answering the question,
Speaker 1: which is actually having policy ideas that she could articulate.
Speaker 1: Rather than saying we should do this, she's saying we
Speaker 1: should do this.
Speaker 2: This is how you do it.
Speaker 1: Here's where I did it over here, and here's why
Speaker 1: I believe it's gonna work.
Speaker 2: It's all paper.
Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to tell you, like you can't take
Speaker 1: it from nim Marita. You know what I'm saying, Nimarada,
Speaker 1: that's her actual name. You can't take it from her.
Speaker 1: She actually she actually got plans. And one of my
Speaker 1: arguments will happen with Elizabeth Warren despite the fact that
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about our country, but
Speaker 1: we just we just can't stand a woman being smart.
Speaker 1: But one thing about her was the fact that when
Speaker 1: she answered the question, she actually answered. She didn't play
Speaker 1: to the crowd. It wasn't too much of a nerd
Speaker 1: like you actually had ideas.
Speaker 2: She's got a plan. That's what happened with Hillary. Hillary
Speaker 2: was like, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, I was Secretary of State. I've been around Washington.
Speaker 1: We tried this at this time. Here's what we went wrong. Here,
Speaker 1: here's what I think we should do so you answered
Speaker 1: the question with actual policies. You can't do that standing
Speaker 1: next to no class clown. We need hits, that's what
Speaker 1: look lyrics. Lyrics don't make number one. Get to the
Speaker 1: chorus before you bore us. That's look. If you want
Speaker 1: to hit unless you Kendrick Lamar, you want that radio hit, buddy,
Speaker 1: you gotta you can't. You can't just be coming here
Speaker 1: barring out. Were trying to sing along? I need eight
Speaker 1: bar versus twelve bar choruses, a bridge, four bar versus
Speaker 1: another chorus, a EDM breakdown and some sort of booty shaking.
Speaker 1: Why don't what else is we doing? I just I
Speaker 1: don't understand why you're trying to like rap. I mean
Speaker 1: it just don't it don't be. Who's the number one
Speaker 1: and number two streamed artist hip hop artist by a
Speaker 1: mile last year twenty twenty three, Drake and nl E
Speaker 1: Chopper like not even close.
Speaker 2: I mean they not barring out.
Speaker 1: I mean Drake can bar out, but that's not y'all
Speaker 1: don't know those songs, you know, turn a O two
Speaker 1: into a oh three, that's what you know, because bars
Speaker 1: don't do it. But there's a whole episode about that anyway,
Speaker 1: and Ron DeSantis, the reality is he got all the
Speaker 1: toxicity that you like about Trump and none of the
Speaker 1: toxicity you don't like about Trump.
Speaker 2: The man know how to behave in public.
Speaker 1: He know how to keep the chaos controlled while at
Speaker 1: the same time carrying the same egregious ideas. He know
Speaker 1: how to weaponize your own disbeliefs and your own prejudices
Speaker 1: to his advance. He got everything you love about Trump
Speaker 1: the sentist can do. And actually, last night January fourth,
Speaker 1: at the thing, and it was finally like, oh, I
Speaker 1: see why people like you. It looked like somebody sent
Speaker 1: him to the gym as to how to present yourself,
Speaker 1: you know, because obviously the man is he not likable,
Speaker 1: Like you're just like you look at him, You're just like,
Speaker 1: this guy's a dick, Like that's usually how he comes off.
Speaker 1: Yesterday he came off a little more civilized, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can see why y'all like him. I wholeheartedly disagree
Speaker 1: with him, but I'll see why y'all like him. Man's
Speaker 1: got a couple points, and he's able to present his
Speaker 1: points in a way that if you're not careful, you
Speaker 1: might be like, oh, damn, I think I agree with that,
Speaker 1: but that's because he knows how to talk. Now, he
Speaker 1: got everything Trump got. Even the fact that we are
Speaker 1: calling them consolation prizes.
Speaker 2: Is such a sign as.
Speaker 1: To where we are in our stage of democracy and
Speaker 1: whatever the Republican Party is becoming.
Speaker 2: But let's get to it, all right, we're back.
Speaker 1: Also, side note in the studio with me sitting at
Speaker 1: her desk, is refer to her by her prefix, my
Speaker 1: lovely spouse dr Almazerago.
Speaker 2: So say what's up over there?
Speaker 1: He's up? Shout out the LG listeners, remember in the
Speaker 1: Red House podcast and you know all the stuff that
Speaker 1: this all originated from. She just too busy to do podcasts.
Speaker 1: It just is what it is. I've tried to convince her,
Speaker 1: even on our Patreon. She's got other stuff to do,
Speaker 1: and I respect it. She taught me what boundaries mean. Anyway,
Speaker 1: what they're doing now, which I think is actually I
Speaker 1: think it's great they're doing these rather than just having
Speaker 1: this shouting match with eleven people on stage where you
Speaker 1: really can't hear what these people have to say. Is
Speaker 1: they're doing these what they're called town hall meetings. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't get me wrong, this isn't a town hall
Speaker 1: meeting Stan episode, because there's some serious problems with this thing, right.
Speaker 1: The questions are definitely pre screened and written clearly, not
Speaker 1: by the person asking the question, like it's something. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of This is obviously theater their lobs to
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 2: Bet you maybe it probably written.
Speaker 1: I don't know this, but they probably written by the
Speaker 1: campaign team to get the person to answer these sort
Speaker 1: of questions that they want answered so get their message out.
Speaker 1: I get it. It's theater. Okay, okay, now listen to me.
Speaker 1: I'm let me talk to you player.
Speaker 2: Listen to me.
Speaker 1: When you talk to a liar, let them answer the question.
Speaker 1: And it's not so much to catch them in the lie,
Speaker 1: but it's to understand what they deem important to lie about.
Speaker 1: It's understand the way that their brain works. All information
Speaker 1: is good. It tells you some about that person, about
Speaker 1: what they hold as valuable and what they're trying to
Speaker 1: actually convey. So even if these questions ain't real questions,
Speaker 1: they softy, they love they you know, they love. The
Speaker 1: person even stands up and says, hey, this person from
Speaker 1: this district or this county or this city, they're a
Speaker 1: registered Republican they're probably going to vote for you, or
Speaker 1: they're probably going to vote for this person, or they're undecided.
Speaker 2: Here's their question. Come on, fam, you know it. Don't
Speaker 2: piss on up back and tell me it's raining.
Speaker 1: So there's a part of it that's clearly corny, but
Speaker 1: it's helpful because we get to hear them and what
Speaker 1: they're trying to project about themselves and how they want
Speaker 1: to present them to the world. All that shit is valuable.
Speaker 1: So they had Ron de Santisco first. Ron's must is
Speaker 1: the nigga is not likable. What I believe his goal
Speaker 1: coming out of this was like, I need y'all to
Speaker 1: like me like I came off. I'm losing because niggas
Speaker 1: don't like me like y'all used to love me. You
Speaker 1: just showed yourself to be a weirdo, and Niggi was
Speaker 1: dragging him. Niggi had jokes. He had to show himself
Speaker 1: to be likable. He understood he was playing from behind,
Speaker 1: So you got to get into the gym. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say he went into the gym. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give him his credit. He polished up his game.
Speaker 1: He didn't look as ridiculous and unprepared and like he's
Speaker 1: doing his best human impression, Like he seemed very comfortable
Speaker 1: in this position. Now what was he talking about? So again,
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm gonna say mission complete. You needed
Speaker 1: to seem likable. Second one is you needed to stop
Speaker 1: seeming like a bitch when it came to Trump.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna run against him?
Speaker 1: But you still, you know, smelling his booty every time
Speaker 1: you get a chance. Why is you not taking shots
Speaker 1: at him? Again, I'm gonna say he threw a few
Speaker 1: shots at him. He was like, this, nigga is not
Speaker 1: pro life. Everything he said he was gonna do he
Speaker 1: didn't do. He's like, it's not so much that I
Speaker 1: don't like the guy. I'm just saying, like I actually
Speaker 1: agreed with what he said he was gonna do. He
Speaker 1: just ain't doing it. So why should we give you
Speaker 1: a second chance? You had four years to do the
Speaker 1: shit you said you was gonna do. Now you're gonna
Speaker 1: tell us again you're finna do the same thing you
Speaker 1: said you was gonna do. And then he was like, Nigga,
Speaker 1: you're a lame duck Like this, we can only get
Speaker 1: four years from you, so why, Like, why is we
Speaker 1: do you messy? Like, why is we worried about all this?
Speaker 1: And he's like, in January sixth is unacceptable, like I
Speaker 1: don't understand. But again then again, but I like the
Speaker 1: shit he talked. I like what he was gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna actually do it to shave my nigga
Speaker 1: to Shay, which is also a Cat Williams reference to
Speaker 1: shave my nigga too, Shay. Now, when you ask about
Speaker 1: shooting guns, what you think he thinks? He thinks exactly
Speaker 1: what y'all think. He thinks, I'm not going to take
Speaker 1: away your guns. I think we need to harden schools now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever heard about a hard location. Nice, no,
Speaker 1: but a hardening a location means what we do at airports,
Speaker 1: federal buildings, state buildings, where there's a security and there's
Speaker 1: one entrance, so you put a security guard there, you
Speaker 1: got your metal detector. You can only go through that entrant.
Speaker 1: Maybe you could set up multiple one entrance like an airport, right,
Speaker 1: but the point is there's no side doors, there's no
Speaker 1: other access. You got to go through this point. So
Speaker 1: their argument for how we keep our school safes is
Speaker 1: we make them like the airport, metal detectors and guns. Now,
Speaker 1: as somebody from LA who lived through the metal detector era,
Speaker 1: the clear backpack era, a man, I don't know how
Speaker 1: much safer I felt, but there is a lot of
Speaker 1: like research. Part of my wife's doctoral program is the
Speaker 1: feeling of safe. It might the school now looks like
Speaker 1: a prison, has got surveillance cameras and security guards and
Speaker 1: metal detectors and buzz in and buzz out things to
Speaker 1: get in and out of the school. It's just like
Speaker 1: a jail uniforms. But you do the students feel safer?
Speaker 1: Is it actually gonna do it? Either way?
Speaker 2: That's his argument.
Speaker 1: They asked him about the mandatory three day weights for
Speaker 1: your gun permit, and there's some right now. It's in
Speaker 1: a legislator in Florida to be like are we going
Speaker 1: to end that? And he's like, I think it should
Speaker 1: be instantaneous. It's like there's such thing as the internet
Speaker 1: should have to wait three days full. You can run
Speaker 1: a background check right here. It doesn't have to take
Speaker 1: that long, was his argument. Now, counterpoint could be the
Speaker 1: three days is more for the buyer to be like,
Speaker 1: do you really need a gun? Like I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you three days to think about it.
Speaker 2: But we'll see.
Speaker 1: He thinks that behavioral threat assessments, which is something that
Speaker 1: they already do, which essentially is again it's another way
Speaker 1: of like a background check. You could do it with
Speaker 1: the child, is you run a behavioral threat assessment. Now,
Speaker 1: behavioral threat assessment is something that does happen in school psychology.
Speaker 1: It is something that again since I worked with inner
Speaker 1: city kids and worked in juvenile halls, it is something
Speaker 1: that we do kind of look at. You understand a
Speaker 1: person's history, understands how volatile they situation is, and their
Speaker 1: mental stability, their access to weapons, who they're around, all
Speaker 1: this good stuff. And since I'm out of the classroom,
Speaker 1: I can't really tell you what it looks like. Now
Speaker 1: I've been out the classroom for a while, I can
Speaker 1: tell you that, in my experience, the cost benefit analysis
Speaker 1: is something that is left wanting to me. I think
Speaker 1: there was part of me that was as a teacher
Speaker 1: that was like I would get these kids with like
Speaker 1: severe autism or actually better yet very light autism, like
Speaker 1: somewhere on the spectrum of Aspergers and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: There was some times where their parents didn't even want
Speaker 1: to tell me that because they said they didn't want
Speaker 1: their kids to be treated different. Now I'm talking about
Speaker 1: a bunch of different things because and I'm talking about
Speaker 1: the state of California.
Speaker 2: There was an IEP.
Speaker 1: Which had more to do about a student's individual education thing.
Speaker 1: Then there was a five or four plan what had
Speaker 1: to do with their behavioral and then there's the threat
Speaker 1: assessment thing that we talking about right here. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of different things files they have on our kids.
Speaker 1: But so I'm kind of jumping around that ended up
Speaker 1: putting me in a very weakened position because I should
Speaker 1: treat them differently because they have different needs. So like,
Speaker 1: it's almost unfair to your child. I'm about to set
Speaker 1: your child up for failure because you don't want me
Speaker 1: to treat them, but I should.
Speaker 2: I understand what they mean.
Speaker 1: But you're putting both of us at a disadvantage now
Speaker 1: because I'm going to trigger something in this child that
Speaker 1: is not fair to them. Had I known that that
Speaker 1: was a situation, I wouldn't have done that to them.
Speaker 2: I would have.
Speaker 1: Understood I had a kid who wouldn't let go of
Speaker 1: her towel. She had a tow like she had a towel,
Speaker 1: and I was like, why is you carrying a put
Speaker 1: the towel down. Can we do the work? She's just
Speaker 1: like I can't. I was like, baby, you drag in
Speaker 1: we're while. I was like, babe, you're dragging a towel,
Speaker 1: Like can you You have to pick up your towel.
Speaker 1: You're dragging it. Who's walking to the pool? You dragging
Speaker 1: a towel? And then I was like, listen, if you
Speaker 1: don't pick up this towel, I'm gonna have to carry
Speaker 1: it for you because you're just gonna get dirty. She
Speaker 1: couldn't pick up a towel. So I was like, baby,
Speaker 1: give me the towel. So I took the towel and
Speaker 1: I was care of. I was like, I want to
Speaker 1: get dirty. She had a meltdown I've never seen in
Speaker 1: my life. Yeah, no one told me she's autistic. If
Speaker 1: you'd have told me she was, I would have never
Speaker 1: taken a fucking towel say something right. So there's a
Speaker 1: part of it that's like it helps us all. There's
Speaker 1: another part of it, though, that puts a lot of times.
Speaker 1: It always breaks this way black and brown boys in
Speaker 1: a situation where we're now ear marked as trouble. So
Speaker 1: in a scenario where you could be like a Kendrick,
Speaker 1: like a good kid in a mad city, or like
Speaker 1: myself who just happens to be around all this stuff,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have any of the desired I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not really outside like that. Whereas you you
Speaker 1: have another kids, straight a student knows how to shut up,
Speaker 1: but it's like a murderer and that and that kid
Speaker 1: that's like it's straight a knows how to shut up,
Speaker 1: but as a murderer is actually selling ecstasy pills. That's
Speaker 1: a white boy, so you don't y'all don't notice his delinquency.
Speaker 1: He gets a boys will be boys type situation. We
Speaker 1: get a you're you're on your pathway to criminal. So
Speaker 1: there's a part of that that sometimes can be very
Speaker 1: detrimental to people of color. Now again, like I said,
Speaker 1: there's probably better ways to do this. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to stop a school shooter. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: all right now. I don't know how to stop I don't
Speaker 1: know how to stop the ship. And I'm skipping ahead
Speaker 1: to Nicki. NICKI made a great argument too. It's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, we could ban ar fifteens. But that make
Speaker 1: you feel good for a little bit, but there's still
Speaker 1: they still don't shoot up the place. And then they
Speaker 1: both talked about mental health. Right now, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of taki taki muoaitaki taki, but all Rond de Santa
Speaker 1: said is we need to do something about mental health.
Speaker 1: Nikki had a better answer now concerning Trump, Like I
Speaker 1: said before, he was like, yo, basically, don't let the
Speaker 1: media fool you into saying that this is a done deal.
Speaker 1: Like y'all could really make a case, which is a
Speaker 1: great argument about the fact that you have a strange
Speaker 1: alliance to losers. And he was like, basically, like yo,
Speaker 1: Trump didn't deliver. He said he was going to secure
Speaker 1: our borders any again, secure our borders. Borders is just
Speaker 1: as poorous as they ever been. He pressed a fentanyl button.
Speaker 1: He was like, look, nigga, like fentanyl killing more people
Speaker 1: than any of our crime here combined. And he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna solve all that shit. He was like, this
Speaker 1: birthright citizenship shit is like it's cheating too, And that's
Speaker 1: when Prop went, hold up, hold up, okay, now unpacked this.
Speaker 1: Let's unpack this fentanyl thing. Okay, number one, let's unpack that.
Speaker 2: So they have.
Speaker 1: Both of them are on some like catch and deport
Speaker 1: rather than catch and release. Right, His answer to solving
Speaker 1: is like, I'm gonna deport you immediately. Morally you up,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot on site. I'm gonna catch you. And
Speaker 1: if you got fittinel on you, yeah, it's up to
Speaker 1: which somebody asked him, it's like, Yo, most people come
Speaker 1: here with just a backpack of some water. You just
Speaker 1: finsa how are you finsa say that? And he was like, look, dude,
Speaker 1: it's not like we're really gonna like just shoot on site.
Speaker 1: Like it's like it's military. So again he's like, I'm
Speaker 1: a strengthen the border, put something, you know, it's all
Speaker 1: it's all the same, hits right, he just said it nicer.
Speaker 1: But what made me give me pause was this idea
Speaker 1: of relooking at the fourteenth Amendment, the birthright citizenship thing. Now,
Speaker 1: his little history about that the birthright citizenship situation came
Speaker 1: from the dread Scott case. Black folks know this case,
Speaker 1: it's about your right as a citizen. This case was
Speaker 1: essentially around are black people's citizens once they've been freed?
Speaker 1: Because can you once this once this guy, this is
Speaker 1: the story. Once once this slave got on a train,
Speaker 1: got up out of the South and was living as
Speaker 1: a free man.
Speaker 2: I'm here, I'm here, like we're done. Like i'm here,
Speaker 2: I'm freeman.
Speaker 1: Can a slave owner up this man down and bring
Speaker 1: him back to this slavery? So the Missouri Compromise, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of history. The Missouri Compromise was the idea of, like,
Speaker 1: every time we add a new state, this is all
Speaker 1: pre Civil War, every time you add a new state
Speaker 1: to the Union, you got to add a slave state.
Speaker 1: Every time. If there's a free state, there's a slave state.
Speaker 1: It had to be equal. That was the Missouri Compromise.
Speaker 1: This dude, dread Scott broke free, escaped from slavery, made
Speaker 1: it up to a free state. And the idea was,
Speaker 1: now that I'm here, nigga, I'm free. I live here.
Speaker 1: I signed my little X on the dotted line I'm free.
Speaker 1: But they was like, nah, but you my property, nigger, right,
Speaker 1: So if I could come get you, if I could
Speaker 1: find you, fuck your citizenship, nigga, like you belong to me.
Speaker 1: I didn't sign shit. I don't remember signing your freedom papers, nigga,
Speaker 1: you still you still mine? And the drag Scott case,
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court agreed, are you listening to me? The
Speaker 1: Supreme Court agreed that yeah, nah, if he finds you, nah,
Speaker 1: you really your original state, you actually belonged to that man,
Speaker 1: which meant that the Missouri Compromise didn't mean shit, because
Speaker 1: that meant that Saint Louis, which at the time was
Speaker 1: a free state or free city in Missouri, you all
Speaker 1: rights don't matter, nigga, Like, and they was like wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: wait no, because he lived here. Nope, no, he don't.
Speaker 1: He ours. So the fourteenth Amendment was designed to like
Speaker 1: fix that shit, to say a nah, fam you can't
Speaker 1: just no, that's not how that worked. If you're born here,
Speaker 1: you're a citizen. Because again, the Black Codes un lestally
Speaker 1: our lessons here. The Black Codes was right during the reconstruction,
Speaker 1: right after the mass spaced Proclamation Thirteenth Amendment, slaves were freed.
Speaker 1: What they did to try to stop black people from
Speaker 1: voting was because if you're a citizen, you could vote,
Speaker 1: and it was like, well, you're eligible to vote if
Speaker 1: your granddaddy was free. Well, clearly nobody of African descent
Speaker 1: had a free granddad. We were just freed, so it
Speaker 1: was trying to so anyway, the fourteenth Amendment was supposed
Speaker 1: to fit that, and what DeSantis Are argument is to
Speaker 1: use that to cover immigration what they call anchor babies,
Speaker 1: meaning if a person comes here illegally and has a child,
Speaker 1: does that child get to be a citizen? And it's like,
Speaker 1: niggad do they're born here? And he's like, you're using
Speaker 1: the fourteenth Amendment in a way that it wasn't meant
Speaker 1: to be used. Now, if I were you, I would
Speaker 1: know that, Gee, this sounds like a really nice, professionally
Speaker 1: packaged way to be incredibly racist towards immigrants.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna let.
Speaker 1: Y'all figure that out, because again, you're smart enough to
Speaker 1: make your own decisions.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's how it sounds to me, because
Speaker 2: I'm like, how are you going to decipher that.
Speaker 1: You're gonna say, if your parents are immigrants, or if
Speaker 1: your parents are illegal immigrants, but you were born here,
Speaker 1: then therefore you don't get to be a citizen because
Speaker 1: your parents weren't citizens, then where is that child a
Speaker 1: citizen of?
Speaker 2: Just anyway, I'm just saying it's.
Speaker 1: A weird legal argument to just try to keep people
Speaker 1: you don't like out. That's what it looks like to me.
Speaker 1: But he say it so nice again because he polished up.
Speaker 1: He don't sound like a bumbling racist like like your
Speaker 1: boy Trump.
Speaker 2: Would he say it nicer?
Speaker 1: Now, as far as education, what he claimed to be
Speaker 1: was that Florida was ranked number one in education. Now,
Speaker 1: a simple Google would tell you it's Florida ranked number
Speaker 1: one in education. Obviously you should understand that that means
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. And what Florida is ranked
Speaker 1: number one in education in is what is called educational freedom,
Speaker 1: which is some made up shit. Okay, Because again, which
Speaker 1: state is ranked number one? And ed the first the
Speaker 1: first link will tell you which state is number one
Speaker 1: in education is Massachusetts has the best ranked public schools
Speaker 1: in the United States and the second most educated state,
Speaker 1: just behind the District of Columbia. About ninety point four
Speaker 1: four percent of Massachusetts adults have high school diplomas and
Speaker 1: forty two point nine percent of bachelor's degree or higher.
Speaker 1: So whatever the fuck he talking about number one in
Speaker 1: is not what he's communicating to y'all.
Speaker 2: So just every politician do it.
Speaker 1: But just know when he say Florida number one education
Speaker 1: He mean educational freedom, meaning our white people comfortable.
Speaker 2: N let's just be real with y'all. Now.
Speaker 1: Anyway, last thing about the centus is his whole thing
Speaker 1: about being the only one that served in the military.
Speaker 1: I served in the military. I served our country, so
Speaker 1: I know what it's like. I far be it from
Speaker 1: me to ever drag a veteran. I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure I understood the way y'all thought about it.
Speaker 1: So I just put it out on my Instagram and
Speaker 1: I googled it. I was like, Okay, he served, how
Speaker 1: did he serve? So he deployed with the Seals as
Speaker 1: a legal advisor in the Navy, a lieutenant that was
Speaker 1: a legal advisor to the Seals, and in Guantanamo Bay.
Speaker 2: A legal advisor. So he was not a Seal. He
Speaker 2: was not in common I'm bad.
Speaker 1: He was advising on the legality of their moves.
Speaker 2: Now, listen, I'm not a VET. My father is. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I wanted to know does that count? I just you
Speaker 1: tell me? So I asked, and most people was like, listen, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna summarize what most people said that were actual vets,
Speaker 1: that it counts with an asterisk. It counts in the
Speaker 1: sense that anybody serves anyboy service, but you were, but
Speaker 1: he is a pencil pusher. I don't believe none of
Speaker 1: this stolen valorshit like, don't act like you saw if
Speaker 1: you if you out here cappin like you saw some heat,
Speaker 1: then fuck you. But service is service. So I thought
Speaker 1: that that was an interesting thing. Now to me, the
Speaker 1: vibe I'm getting from it is he's capping as if
Speaker 1: he was really outside. But again, I am not going
Speaker 1: to you never know what people went through. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna take away that stuff, that stuff from him. But nigga,
Speaker 1: you ain't no, you ain't no John McCaine, my nigga,
Speaker 1: like you wasn't a captured pow Cuz, like nigga, you
Speaker 1: was looking at a screen and just giving advice.
Speaker 2: I mean, again, it's more than I've done.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it sounds like kap but either way,
Speaker 1: and then finally, I already said last thing. But finally,
Speaker 1: what I noticed about how he the game he figured
Speaker 1: out is he only said woke once like somebody got
Speaker 1: in his ear and was like, you gotta stop talking
Speaker 1: about this shit if you want to be liked by
Speaker 1: more people than this. You got to figure out how
Speaker 1: to stop being so you're the anti woke guy. It
Speaker 1: sounds like you have one note, especially when you went
Speaker 1: after Disney, it was like, what the what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Like we talked about the indie artist's guide to running
Speaker 1: a campaign is just because some work locally, don't mean
Speaker 1: to work nationally. So this is the national stage, nigga.
Speaker 1: You gotta stop doing all that like cargo drill, like nigga.
Speaker 1: Everybody ain't into that shit. You know, I'm gonna keep
Speaker 1: it real nigga. So okay, whatever, somebody got in his
Speaker 1: brain and was like, you gotta stop talking all that
Speaker 1: woke shit. If you want more people to vote for
Speaker 1: you, you gotta start making most sense. He was real polished,
Speaker 1: but again, if you paying attention, he gonna do this.
Speaker 1: He promising to do the same ship Trump said. He
Speaker 1: just actually know how to govern. He's slick enough to
Speaker 1: actually get some of this shit done. Now, if that's
Speaker 1: your jam, Nigga is out. If that's how you move,
Speaker 1: that's your vocus.
Speaker 2: Next, Nikki, we're back.
Speaker 1: So Nima Rata, I think I think her Indian name
Speaker 1: is though I don't know why she's gonna go by it.
Speaker 2: Well, I do know, but anyway, she jump up on
Speaker 2: the stage.
Speaker 1: Now I wouldn't have made this comment, but my wife
Speaker 1: noticed it.
Speaker 2: I will defer to her.
Speaker 1: That has to do with anything women's you know, virtue
Speaker 1: sig signaling femininity. I would have not commented about her
Speaker 1: dress because I thought that's what you weren't supposed to
Speaker 1: do that, especially like nobody comment about men's clothes, Like
Speaker 1: why are you commenting about women's clothes?
Speaker 2: So I was not gonna do that.
Speaker 1: But my wife walked in as I was watching this,
Speaker 1: and she was just like, are they Republicans?
Speaker 2: I was like yeah.
Speaker 1: She was like she got that fifty style dress on.
Speaker 1: She trying to harkenhim back to the She's like, only
Speaker 1: conservative women do that. They be trying to harken back
Speaker 1: to this like conservative values thing. So they visually dressed themselves,
Speaker 1: like you noticed how Hilly Clinton was always in in pantsuits.
Speaker 1: She was like, yeah, I'm hark you're harkening back to
Speaker 1: something by your auth. I was like, I thought you
Speaker 1: weren't supposed to talk about women's clothes. She was like,
Speaker 1: I'm making a point about what they communicating I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought of that. I thought Niggis dress
Speaker 1: is cute. Yeah, I'm be honest with you, but I
Speaker 1: wouldn't go say nothing about it anyway. I forgot to
Speaker 1: talk about COVID with the santis. He basically he stands
Speaker 1: by his I brought this up out of nowhere because
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my notes, basically stands.
Speaker 2: By his record. He was like I did right. I chose.
Speaker 1: He's like, there's only one virus out of a million
Speaker 1: viruses that are around in the world. I chose human
Speaker 1: connection over the virus. That's your move. That's your move. Now,
Speaker 1: Nicki jumps up her musts is basically like she needs
Speaker 1: to just she needs to maintain her lead.
Speaker 2: She has this tone of being the adult in the room.
Speaker 1: Like I said, she's black thought, she's clearly the greatest
Speaker 1: lyricist in the in the batch. Again, this episode's coming soon,
Speaker 1: you know, she's and again, like I said, she actually
Speaker 1: got plans and she needs to prove that right, So
Speaker 1: now she need a de throne.
Speaker 2: The de throne trumps now the.
Speaker 1: First question because it just happened at Iowa was a
Speaker 1: school shooting. First day of school somebody got shot up.
Speaker 1: What was her answers about that, basically the same when
Speaker 1: you talk about mental health, we need to harden locations.
Speaker 1: But then what she did different than the same entsis
Speaker 1: she explained what harden locations mean.
Speaker 2: Damn okay.
Speaker 1: Then after that she was like, these are my plans
Speaker 1: for mental health. She was like, we don't have enough
Speaker 1: crisis centers. She was like, we don't need it. We
Speaker 1: don't have enough addiction centers. She was like, a lot
Speaker 1: of that stuff comes from addiction. When you can't get
Speaker 1: the help you get, you start leading the drugs. When
Speaker 1: you don't get the drugs you need, you start turning
Speaker 1: into violence. She was like, we need addiction centers, right,
Speaker 1: And she goes, and even if that, even if you
Speaker 1: in both of those situations, not like your insurance covers it,
Speaker 1: damn nigga facts. And I'm like, okay, so you're going
Speaker 1: to make sure our insurance covers it. She ain't respond
Speaker 1: to that though, but still, I mean, you the first
Speaker 1: Republican I heard actually had an idea about those things.
Speaker 2: There's that. Next they asked her about Trump, and she
Speaker 2: said the same thing.
Speaker 1: She was like, look, I like it, it's just and again,
Speaker 1: this weird dance they got to do around him. She
Speaker 1: was like, look, man, I believe he was the right
Speaker 1: guy for that time, but the reality is chaos follows it.
Speaker 2: Good answer.
Speaker 1: And then she was like, and strategically, we don't know
Speaker 1: if he can be Biden. It's like this, it's a
Speaker 1: nail her. She's like, in every poll we reading, I
Speaker 1: can beat him by I could be biting by at
Speaker 1: least fifteen points.
Speaker 2: Again, like we said earlier, do you trust polls? I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: And she could also say some stuff that we can't verify.
Speaker 1: But she could say like, look, dude, I was the
Speaker 1: one telling Trump like, bro, you' finna be your worst enemy.
Speaker 2: I don't agree with all the moves you making.
Speaker 1: And she has some track records where she kind of
Speaker 1: differed from what he wanted this nigga.
Speaker 2: And here's where you got to stand. Put your antennas on.
Speaker 1: She was like, and the last thing about this nigga
Speaker 1: is like he'd he'd just be closing up to dictators.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why he liked dictators so much. That's
Speaker 1: not good for us. Food is fool's Like you're congratulating
Speaker 1: Putin for his strength, like I don't understand you're out
Speaker 1: there complimenting jijingping out there in China after China gave
Speaker 1: us COVID, to which the record scratched.
Speaker 2: For me, I was like, China gave us COVID. That's out.
Speaker 1: Oh again, slide slide that shit in y'all. Y'all caught
Speaker 1: that China gave us COVID. That's a weird way to
Speaker 1: talk about the spread of a SARS coronavirus, that China
Speaker 1: gave it to us. My nigga, like, you understand, that
Speaker 1: could have happened anywhere, but she don't really fuck with China,
Speaker 1: which comes clearer later She revealed her cars there. That's
Speaker 1: why I was like, let them talk, because you won't
Speaker 1: let them talk because you gonna hear what they really think.
Speaker 1: And it's really weird for a woman of color, for
Speaker 1: a brown woman to say something like that. At least
Speaker 1: that's what I think. But either way, that's what happened.
Speaker 1: As far as the borders, same thing, more agents she
Speaker 1: wanted to do to remain in Mexico situation. She's like, look,
Speaker 1: just don't even come here. Process of in Mexico. She
Speaker 1: want to do the same thing, catching deport she was
Speaker 1: talking about illegal immigration.
Speaker 2: She was like, but no, that's what she's all about.
Speaker 2: I legal.
Speaker 1: She's like with elite, with legal immigration. Here's something interesting
Speaker 1: about her. Or she's a child of immigrants. She's like, Yo,
Speaker 1: speed up the process. It's absurd, Like it shouldn't take
Speaker 1: fifteen years now for me that actually resonates because of
Speaker 1: my in laws.
Speaker 2: It took a niggas fifteen years. Do everything right, you
Speaker 2: know what you mean? Tell me? If I do everything right,
Speaker 2: this could happen.
Speaker 1: She also believes in not quotas but merit based immigration,
Speaker 1: basically meaning what are the jobs we need here?
Speaker 2: Can you do that? Okay?
Speaker 1: You can get in, which gets really gnarly probably in
Speaker 1: ways you haven't really considered because if you say that,
Speaker 1: if you're like, okay, look we need more agricultural workers,
Speaker 1: all right, you down to work the fields, okay, come
Speaker 1: through like you're just it's you. I mean, guys, it's Marxist,
Speaker 1: Like whether you know that's what's funny about that. It's like,
Speaker 1: that's guys, that's Marxist. Did she say, no, what does
Speaker 1: our economy need? It needs workers in this field and
Speaker 1: needs workers in this field, so we get those are
Speaker 1: it's Marxist anyway. Then they asked her about Governor Abbott
Speaker 1: in Texas about putting people in buses. She like, I'm
Speaker 1: with all that. You said you was a sanctuary city.
Speaker 1: I don't see what the problem is and you canna
Speaker 1: take them then?
Speaker 2: Interesting? Interesting, but that's what you feel, you know, it
Speaker 2: is what it is.
Speaker 1: They asked her about the economy, which I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: a whole other episode on two, which really in as
Speaker 1: far as the numbers are concerned, maybe not the vibe,
Speaker 1: but the numbers are concerned. Economy is great, which is weird.
Speaker 1: I get it, but I'm gonna talk about that later. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the economy is great. It's like, I don't get it.
Speaker 1: But average home buyers forty nine, She was like, the
Speaker 1: American dream's gone, you know. She talked about that American
Speaker 1: dream stuff. She was like, Yo, we got to lower
Speaker 1: these interest rates, you know. And then she talked about
Speaker 1: how she was like, as a government, we spend way
Speaker 1: too much. Like we just spend too much. You gotta
Speaker 1: cut the credit card. She was like, go after this
Speaker 1: mad COVID fraud. Eliminade earmarks, take big old federal programs,
Speaker 1: make them state they shouldn't.
Speaker 2: Why we gotta pay for it?
Speaker 1: Then the big one came that I was waiting, and
Speaker 1: it was the slavery issue, the rebel flag issue, because
Speaker 1: you may or may not know, the Dillian Roof situation
Speaker 1: happened in her state, and the Queen Mother, Breknewsom was
Speaker 1: the woman that climbed up and took flag down from
Speaker 1: the state building. So she talked about her upbringing and
Speaker 1: she answered it, and she answered it thoroughly. She talked
Speaker 1: about her upbringing and it's such a dance to play
Speaker 1: with these Republicans. She talked about her upbringing being an
Speaker 1: Indian American family inside of South Carolina, which I cannot
Speaker 1: imagine the thing.
Speaker 2: And she admitted that she experienced racism.
Speaker 1: She said it very fast, and she was like, we
Speaker 1: had black friends, we had white friends. You would hear,
Speaker 1: you know, this narrative that racism was real. Again, somebody
Speaker 1: put her in the gym. You can't act like racism
Speaker 1: are real. You still a brown woman running for president.
Speaker 1: You cannot act like racism are real.
Speaker 2: And she did it.
Speaker 1: She was like, yeah, you know, of course I experienced
Speaker 1: racism growing up. You know what I'm saying. And she
Speaker 1: was like of course, you know, I didn't experience slavery,
Speaker 1: but the legacy of slavery is around all the time.
Speaker 1: She was like, she even said white supremacists. She let
Speaker 1: the word come out of her mouth. To her credit,
Speaker 1: now here's where propsa antenna's pop up. She said that
Speaker 1: when she would come home after experiencing racism, her or
Speaker 1: mom would say, hey, you know, your job isn't to
Speaker 1: show them how you're different, but to show them how
Speaker 1: you're similar, which sounds so beautiful. If you're talking to
Speaker 1: Republicans who just want to go back to brunch and
Speaker 1: act like there isn't a problem with race.
Speaker 2: We aren't we all the same, show them that we're similar.
Speaker 2: We're much more alike than we are different. I get it.
Speaker 1: I mean that's a good line to have, but it's
Speaker 1: also assimilation. It's not just show them how they're similar,
Speaker 1: it's become similar. And as a very fine line between
Speaker 1: that is you start falling a line with the dominant
Speaker 1: culture because it saves you from being other rising. There
Speaker 1: are certain things about you you can't You always had
Speaker 1: as skin color. Ain't nothing going to change that. You
Speaker 1: always eat the food you eat. But what you can
Speaker 1: do is go by Niki instead of the Marada. Show
Speaker 1: them how you similar. And for me, that made me think,
Speaker 1: that's how.
Speaker 2: You became a Republican governor.
Speaker 1: That's how you was able to survive in the Trump
Speaker 1: White House was because you was willing to show them
Speaker 1: how you were similar and become as similar as you
Speaker 1: possibly can.
Speaker 2: Listen, it sounds good. Now, this is me reading into that.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, as a person of color, when I
Speaker 1: hear stuff like that, that's stuff I think about. I agree,
Speaker 1: we do have a lot in common, but it ain't
Speaker 1: my job to show you how much we got in common.
Speaker 1: It's my job to be myself. It's my job to
Speaker 1: bring my uniqueness to this table. But that's just that's
Speaker 1: what do I know. So then she talked about how
Speaker 1: she after the Dillion Roof shooting, you know, in the
Speaker 1: Charleston nine. She talked about after all that happened, how
Speaker 1: she brought different community, faith, and business and law enforcement
Speaker 1: leaders into a room and she was like, look, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm a call for that coming down, and I know
Speaker 1: everybody ain't gonna like it, but we're gonna take that
Speaker 1: rebel flag down. That's when I was like, Okay, you're
Speaker 1: doing some renew sim erasure. But to your credit, you
Speaker 1: did make it happen. Well, you didn't make it happen.
Speaker 1: You were made to make it happen. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you was going to do it, May, And I'm
Speaker 1: glad you did. I'm glad because you are. You were
Speaker 1: the governor. You could have stopped it, but you did.
Speaker 1: You're read the tea leaves good for you. And the
Speaker 1: rebel flag came down from in front of the courthouse
Speaker 1: or the yeah, the courthouse in South Carolina, but you
Speaker 1: walked into that building for years. She said she would
Speaker 1: be down to part in Trump and why she would
Speaker 1: be down to part in Trump because she was just like,
Speaker 1: it's just like it's kind of like the Knickson thing,
Speaker 1: like we just need to be on with it. Do
Speaker 1: it really due to country? Any good to have an
Speaker 1: eighty year old man sitting in jail? And she was like,
Speaker 1: a pardon means he was found guilty, So he'dn't already
Speaker 1: been found guilty. Like if we're at pardoning, what good
Speaker 1: does it do to have him sit in jail? Like
Speaker 1: you forget it, Doug, Like he's eighty something, he's not
Speaker 1: the president. He's like, in this scenario you're giving, she's
Speaker 1: the president heatn lost, he's been found guilty. We just
Speaker 1: need to move on, Like this is not going to
Speaker 1: help us as a country, fine unity by just having
Speaker 1: this man sitting in jail.
Speaker 2: That's her argument.
Speaker 1: Do you think that the country is ready for the
Speaker 1: president to be a woman? According to her, she's like, Ah,
Speaker 1: we've been ready, we just needed.
Speaker 2: The right woman. Sure, not sure I agree, but sure.
Speaker 1: Then they started talking about her foreign policy, which she
Speaker 1: started going in on China. And then once she started
Speaker 1: going in on China, she was like, look, them niggas
Speaker 1: are not our competition.
Speaker 2: They are our enemy.
Speaker 1: And then she leaned into all the scare tactics that
Speaker 1: China been doing. Right, they done bought acres of land,
Speaker 1: they done stole our secrets, which they have done both
Speaker 1: of those things. They got five hundred nukes and we
Speaker 1: still trying to sell them stuff. Them niggas is trying
Speaker 1: to wipe us out. Then she talked about this unholy
Speaker 1: alliance going way back to the eighties. She was just
Speaker 1: like China, Russia, and Iran all up on that, like
Speaker 1: you know, old school like military hawk eighties pre Trump
Speaker 1: Republican where it's like, nigga, we shoot. She talked like that.
Speaker 1: They was like, yo, you really talk like that old
Speaker 1: school like hawk thing. Remember, like the Republican Party has
Speaker 1: become more like isolationists, you know she owd school. She like, listen,
Speaker 1: the best way to secure peace is to make sure
Speaker 1: a motherfucker is so scared of us that them niggas
Speaker 1: will not do shit when we're around.
Speaker 2: That's her stance about.
Speaker 1: She's like, why we need to make sure Ukraine wins
Speaker 1: is because nigga Ukraine, because Russia already said after we
Speaker 1: take Ukraine, we going to Poland. That's a NATO nation.
Speaker 1: They go to Poland, we gotta go. So we need
Speaker 1: to make sure Ukraine wins, so we ain't gotta go
Speaker 1: over there. We need to make sure China so the
Speaker 1: fuck scared of us that we ain't got on. So
Speaker 1: she was like, I'm being a hawk for the purpose
Speaker 1: of peace. I mean sound like gangbanging to me anyway.
Speaker 1: That's the type of stuff she talked about. Then they
Speaker 1: talked about like how you're gonna get us to move on.
Speaker 1: She was like, look, I got some plans. This is
Speaker 1: how we're gonna drain the swamp.
Speaker 2: This is what I did. This what I did back
Speaker 2: in the state.
Speaker 1: I looked at every committee, every little program we had.
Speaker 1: I fired all the leaders. I was like, everybody got it,
Speaker 1: We're gon, we're gonna shake it up. Everybody gone, let's
Speaker 1: get new leadership and all of them. We're gonna do
Speaker 1: an autopsy on every one of these things. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do deep analysis. Cut the money quit. You know,
Speaker 1: if we got people that are just like bad apples
Speaker 1: inside of that thing, like Nigga, fire on people that's
Speaker 1: just if this ship that don't that don't make no
Speaker 1: money for us, let them go. She was like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna replace all the heads of these agencies. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get rid of problem children, because that's what I did
Speaker 1: back home. So when she talked about draining the swamp,
Speaker 1: didn't she received She like, this how I did.
Speaker 2: And that's what they own now.
Speaker 1: Final takeaways. I think they both shined. I think they
Speaker 1: both was in the gym and did their homework. They
Speaker 1: both took the show to Trump. They should have taken it,
Speaker 1: is my opinion. I think they weakness is it's still
Speaker 1: the same shit. You're still left with the choice of
Speaker 1: either the Trump Republican or the Bush Republican. Either you're
Speaker 1: finna be in a million wards under Nikki Haley, or
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a horrible place for a person of color,
Speaker 1: is my takeaway. Or you got four years of chaos
Speaker 1: from Trump. But either way, even the fact that we're
Speaker 1: discussing this means you have a natural alliance to losers,
Speaker 1: and that is not like hood politics, y'all, y'as
