1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: All media.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: So what had happened was obviously there's a change of

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: plans as to what we need to talk about today.

4
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: We all woke up Saturday morning and found out we

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: were at war. Now, the reason why we can keep

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: the rest of the show is that it is still

7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: about system of checks and balances, which did not play

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: in at all in the bombing and destruction of Iran

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: and then Iran's retaliation, understandable retaliation that got us to

10
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: the week we end now.

11
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Now.

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: I held my tongue and my little tweeting fingers throughout

13
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: the week for a number of reasons, one of which

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: is I am newsflash, not Persian or Iranian, you know,

15
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: so don't come to me first. This ain't this isn't

16
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: this isn't my homeland. Now that being said, I understand

17
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: what's going on at a academic and historical level, but

18
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: at a cellular, guttural human empathy that comes from it

19
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: being your homeland, your family, your lineage. I am not

20
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: from the generation of forced African labor that would understand

21
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: what it means to live under a regime as repressive

22
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: as the Islamic Republic. Were I to be of that era,

23
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: I think I'd have a cellular understanding, but I needed

24
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: to listen just like the rest of y'all. I needed

25
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: to take notes and understand that. Like I said all

26
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: the time, this show is not a breaking news show.

27
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: We are education and analysis. That's what we are over here.

28
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 2: We are translators. You feel me, I'm gonna tell you

29
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: what the lick read now. I've been promising y'all all

30
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: year episode on Molza Deck, and I feel like I

31
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: just got called by my own words that like, see there,

32
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: you should have done that episode already, which helps me

33
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: move on to what I was finna say. For what's

34
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: going on right now now? The biggest news is the Ayahtola.

35
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: Hominy is dead.

36
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: Now who he was if you don't know yet by now,

37
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: he was the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, which

38
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: is just the name of their government.

39
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: Right there are.

40
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: I mean when I tell you, don't nobody for with

41
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: them in a sense as people like him now as

42
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: people mourning in the same way that there would be

43
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: people mourning if we lost Donald Trump.

44
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying.

45
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 2: Right there are people that believe here in America that

46
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is God's choice, right the difference.

47
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: So there's that.

48
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: But the difference is the Ayatola is also a cleric.

49
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: He's also a religious leader, trump leader at all, but

50
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: there's a belief that his position is divine. Now, how

51
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: you get to a religious cleric like that. You gotta

52
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: again go back to the seventies. You got to go

53
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: to actually even earlier to that. You got to go

54
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: back to Malsadek, which is what I keep promising you.

55
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: Now you can google him now, but quick and dirty.

56
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: Iran is a descendant of the Persian Empire. The Persian

57
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: Empire was always very synchronistic. They was always open and

58
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: to you practicing your religions as long as you paid

59
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: your taxes right, so you could be a lot of

60
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: different things. The main faith there was called Zorasticism. Zorrastis, yeah,

61
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: something like that. I'm saying it wrong, Please forgive me

62
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: future me. The correct pronunciation is Zoroastrianism, and it's the

63
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: oldest monotheistic faith.

64
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: My bad, go back in.

65
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: Once it became Islamic, there was still a tone of openness,

66
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: a tone of tolerance. Then Niggas discovered oil. Once oil

67
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: came into the game, all of a sudden, Europe cared

68
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: because Europe didn't care until oil got here. Once oil

69
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: got here, it was like there's some money to be made.

70
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: So the British pulled up and was like, ooh, let's

71
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: create a business together. You guys got the product, we

72
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: got the company, we got the resources. So they made

73
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: like the British Iranian Oil Company. Now why they needed

74
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: that oil? Nigga was the war like people forgetting that

75
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: World War One had to be fueled by something Nigga.

76
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: Iran. Eventually, Iran was like U.

77
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 2: Seams as though, just like the British do, we're not

78
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: getting no money from this. I feel like you buying

79
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: it from us on the low, low, low, and you

80
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 2: selling it on the high high high, and you profiting

81
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: at a level that feels very unfair. I want to

82
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: say it was something like eighty twenty, like like Iran

83
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: was only making twenty percent of the profits out this

84
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: mug and it's like, y'all don't have a company if

85
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: you don't have our oil.

86
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: This is crazy.

87
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: They so Iran duly elected in a free and fair

88
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: election this man named Mozadek. Now what Mozadek wanted to

89
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: do was nationalized the oil. He was like I don't

90
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: understand what this oil going to this private company while

91
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: meanwhile we out here doing you know, you got these

92
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: people living super large while the rest of us is

93
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: struggling for scraps to put together some non out this mug.

94
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying.

95
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: We trying to make We trying to make life out

96
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: of out of you know, some dog on Peeter Bread.

97
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: It was like, this is ridiculous. It's the country's oil,

98
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: so the money should come to the country. So he

99
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: was putting it together to nationalize the oil, just like homie,

100
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: just like Bikina Fosso it's like I'm nationalizing this dog.

101
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: That's what he did with the gold, which is why

102
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: America don't like him so much. Like, nah, fam, y'all,

103
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: this can't be ran by no private company.

104
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: Dog. We need to we need.

105
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: This needs to go. This could fund us forever. If

106
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: y'all want the oil, that's fine, but you're gonna pay

107
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: us for it. We all gonna live in poverty while

108
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: y'all get rich off this. And like, you know, white

109
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: people like I know white people again, white people as

110
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: in British, as in the Empire. You know them like

111
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: I know them. They don't like that. They don't like

112
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: you messing with their money. So they was like, uh,

113
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: we need to get rid of this nigga. The British

114
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: reached out to America. America was like, this ain't our problem.

115
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I got some fuzz on my chin.

116
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: If y'all are watching, I can't figure out which there

117
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: we go? Nope, there it is yep. America was like

118
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: this sounded like a you problem. I ain't got nothing

119
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: to do with this. That was the first president. Then

120
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: the next president, which I believe was Roosevelt, was like,

121
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: oh wait, future me.

122
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't Roosevelt, it was Eisenhower. My bad, go back in.

123
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: Tell me more, homie. What do you what do you

124
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: want to do?

125
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: It was like, well, we don't want them to nationalize

126
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: it because if you nationalize it, we can't get the bread.

127
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: It's like, what do you need to do. It's like, well,

128
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: clearly we need to overthrow their elected president.

129
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: You hear what I'm trying to say right now? And

130
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: he was like, well, we got this new thing that

131
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: we've been working on called the CIA. This is new joint.

132
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: Well let's let's see what we can do. So what

133
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: America did. Are you following with me? What America did

134
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: was they sent to and undercover folks agents to spark rebellions.

135
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: We put agents on both sides of this civil war

136
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: of people that supported Mozadek and people that hated Mozadek,

137
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: which nobody did. Nigga, they elected him right, So we

138
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: did that, disrupted the regime, got the guy thrown out, excommunicated,

139
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: put a dude in that was down to keep giving

140
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: us the money. This is what we did there. I

141
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: ran Iran was like, this shit don't make no damn sense.

142
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: They ended up kicking that nigga out, and who came

143
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: back was the clerics.

144
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: Then it became a religious republic.

145
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: And who stepped in in nineteen seventy nine in this

146
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: vacuum through the tapes because that dude was exile, he

147
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: was living in Europe somewhere. He was sending tapes to

148
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: be like, we need to go back to God. And

149
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 2: the person going back to God was his man named

150
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: Iotola Holmani who put together the Islamic Republic. Now they

151
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: remember we're just freedom fighting rebels. Them niggas just didn't

152
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: know how to knew how to fight. Now once he

153
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: was about to get it get U. Once he was

154
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: about to die, he did something that most dictators don't do,

155
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: which is create a succession plan. And the succession plan

156
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: was the dude that we know now. I had told

157
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: the Hamani and what he did was he turned them

158
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: into an actual government. And when I say a government,

159
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: please understand what I'm talking about, Bruh's not Darth Vader.

160
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: Bruh is the Sith Lord.

161
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: He is a sith Listen to me now when I

162
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: say this, I'm talking about as far as I cannot

163
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: understate how repressive. You remember Homegirl with the hijab that

164
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: wore wrong, the religious police, all that that's him, and

165
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: and the funding of the Hezbalas and all this good stuff.

166
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: Here's where he gets complicated. What I love about the

167
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: Iranian people as a culture. They are some of the

168
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: most tapped in, well aware, politically, geopolitically savvy humans I've

169
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: ever met in my life. They understand the complications and

170
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: nuances that, to be honest, Americans do not get at all.

171
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: The American need to turn things into a DC comic

172
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: where your heroes and villains are so clear and so

173
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: obvious that we are the good guys, the gijo of

174
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: it all, Like I have found the rest of the

175
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: world understands that it's not that simple.

176
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: So I'm fast forward.

177
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: And then y'all thinking like, okay, listen, you think the

178
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: Iranian people are under any delusion that the Western Powers

179
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: are their friends? Remember how we had to say this

180
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: about Venezuela that I'm like, listen to me, the US

181
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: is not your friend Iran.

182
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: Know that.

183
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: Iran knows that. Okay, they know, they know.

184
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: They just happy that that Senator Palpatine is finally died.

185
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Like I can't, like listen to me. Let them have that.

186
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Now for our understanding, Senator Palpatine was killed by Valtimore.

187
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: Right now, listen up, nerds, I know that Valtimore and

188
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 2: Darth Vader are two different universes. Come on, now, what

189
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: I was trying to like, how about how about how

190
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: about Sorrowmon? You say I'm saying, uh, the sith Lord

191
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: was killed by Sorrowmon. I know that I'm just saying.

192
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Needs is eve. Nobody's a good guy, all right, she

193
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: sh Listen.

194
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: If you got the dirtiest, nastiest kitchen table, and you like,

195
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do, and then somebody comes

196
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: in there and just knocks the table over, shakes the

197
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: stuff off, and then stands it back up again and says,

198
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: there you go. You got your table again. You understand

199
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: that a mess is still there, right I use I'm

200
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: gonna use the same example. I try to do a venezuela.

201
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: You got somebody terrorizing your neighborhood, and then somebody come

202
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: over there and knock his block off.

203
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: That don't make that man your friend. What I'm saying.

204
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: The difference here is iron knows that, okay, like they know,

205
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: and they also know. And this is what's so interesting

206
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: about somebody like like these, like the eye Tola, he

207
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: understood and resisted like Western imperialistic forces because he is

208
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 2: not Just like again, people in the rest of the

209
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: country ain't stupid. They know that when America come out here,

210
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: they may come with bread in one hand, but it's

211
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 2: a bomb in another one. You can celebrate being excited

212
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: while at the same time not very disgusted that the

213
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: toppling of this came with a blown up school. These

214
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: people not delusional, But imagine how desperate you are to

215
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: get out of a situation to where you would welcome

216
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: bombs like that's it's a desperation that you and I

217
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: don't understand it, but they not stupid. The tweet I

218
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: held to myself was it is. Yeah, I'm not gonna

219
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: quote it, but the idea is, listen, don't thank the

220
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: US on military. Don't thank us, dude, listen, don't think

221
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: we are not the good guys.

222
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you this.

223
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: Hold your applause until the very last Western tank leaves

224
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 2: your shores, because then you know, you good. What's probably

225
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: gonna happen is Israel gonna move in. That's what's probably

226
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 2: gonna happen. They've been trying to take y'all out the

227
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: whole time. You like, I can't stress this enough. The

228
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 2: Iranian people know Israel link they friends, they they know that. Okay, listen,

229
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: this might have been a favor, but let me tell

230
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: you something. The interest rate that favor is astronomical. And

231
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: these people understand that. And I believe I just woke

232
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: up to the news that America did exactly what I

233
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: said they was gonna do. I'm just gonna knock over

234
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: your table, stand it up and say you're welcome. I

235
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: ain't gonna help you cleaning shit up. We did that already.

236
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: That's the forever war we've been in. Trump ain't interested

237
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: in that. Trump is a stick and move kind of guy.

238
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: I just want to get up there, do the cool

239
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: stuff with my jets and my guns. I ain't trying

240
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: to build yo because he said, Hey, that's on y'all,

241
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: you guys take over your government. It's on you here.

242
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: I fixed it. I removed the roaches from your house

243
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: by blowing it up. I like I again, I will

244
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: never speak on the position the people present need to feel.

245
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I know how we are. Does that

246
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: make sense? This?

247
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: How we are? This? How is Israel?

248
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: Don't believe y'all either. Now, all of a sudden, Doha

249
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: and you know, Dubai is like, why are we getting

250
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: drone striked?

251
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: Like nigga? What did we do? You said?

252
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: Oh man, it seems as though the only option here

253
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: that Iran is left with his civil war. Because you again,

254
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: when you have a repressive regime, it don't mean that

255
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: ambition dies. Somebody want to take that spot over. You

256
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: think they're finna turn into a nice Western democracy? Do

257
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: you how you how you think they feel about the West?

258
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean, thank you, but you just left me with

259
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: a mess to clean up. I appreciate you killing the

260
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: Sith Lord, but I I don't that that that come

261
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: with a really high price tag. And I don't know

262
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen next, but I will say this, I'm

263
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: here to stand in full solidarity with the people of Iran,

264
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna let them.

265
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: Lead the way as to how I should feel about that. Now.

266
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: Having said that, tying into what we're finna talk about. Remember,

267
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: in the State of a Union address, President Trump was like,

268
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: I don't need Congress.

269
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: Now.

270
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: In the context he was just talking about tariffs, but

271
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: the system of checks and balances, in his opinion, they

272
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: don't matter because if I'm not gonna listen to the

273
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: Supreme Court, the hell you think I'm gonna listen to Congress, for.

274
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: We're blowing up Iran.

275
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 2: But as any freshmen in high school knows, ain't you

276
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: supposed to ask Congress to go to war? Last time

277
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: I checked and balanced, you were supposed to. Now, after

278
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: the break, let's go on to what I actually recorded earlier.

279
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: Because it's the year of our Lord twenty twenty six

280
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: and gestures wildly at all things, I have to give

281
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: this disclaimer up top. This information is current per the

282
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: day that I'm recording it. Things might have changed by

283
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: the time this pod comes out, but at this moment

284
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: the system of checks and balances lightly kicked in once

285
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 2: with the Supreme Court's decision on the tariffs. So today

286
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 2: let's talk about what happened and our president's very.

287
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: Calm, reserved, well balanced, respectful given props to the olg's

288
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: response that.

289
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: He had last time that I checked and balanced hood politics.

290
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: Y'all.

291
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: I know corney as hell, but you know, on this

292
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 2: anniversary of or yeah month, anniversary of losing our beloved

293
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 2: Nipsey Hustle.

294
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: Who unless you was unless you was an a drake, anyway.

295
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 2: Of losing our Nipsey and the corner of Crenshaw and

296
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: Slawson getting renamed to you know, Nipsey Hustle Square, which

297
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: is great. It's in an area called Hyde Park, which

298
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: I had no idea was called Hyde Park until I

299
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: looked at a Google map one day.

300
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: I was like, what is why is it called this?

301
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I'm not from that section.

302
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 2: I got grandmother and a great grandmother that lived over

303
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: and around there, some extended family we definitely went to

304
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: that Donnat joint and barbecue spot many of times. The

305
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: cleaners that my Anithale uses is on you know, Crenshawn'sloss,

306
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: and it's a couple of blocks above Lamert Park, which

307
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: is on forty fourth. None of this matters to y'all,

308
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: but I'm just shouting out the name. Last time that

309
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: I checked. That was fifty chains on my neck. That

310
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 2: was no dart on my rep last time that I checked.

311
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: And it's a play on words obviously about the system

312
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: of checks and balances. Also almost thought about calling this

313
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 2: system of a checks and balances.

314
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: Terra cotta pie hey, terra cattap pie hey.

315
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: Anyway, our system of a down man insurge who might

316
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: have radicalized the good number of y'all to know what

317
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: the Armenian genocide was. Now, let me get let me

318
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 2: get talking. So the first disclaimer, like I said, is

319
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: that things might have changed by now. But also I

320
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: want to remind you of some of our former pod

321
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: content about the Supreme Court, about the Scouts and the

322
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 2: scoutus wanted all the smoke and that. Let me remind y'all, y'all,

323
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: don't sign my check, nor mayrinnate no chicken and the

324
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: gift that black people have about mine and our business,

325
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: and we really only care about the stuff that cares

326
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: about us, right, and you have to You'll have to

327
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: remember the design of the Supreme Court is to be

328
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 2: above all this.

329
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: Nigga. You can elect me, but you elect me to

330
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: look over you. You feel me.

331
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: Once I'm on this this Supreme Court, niggas can't tell

332
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: me she's supposed to be your stance. Now, there is

333
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: an importance of diversity of thought. I told you in

334
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: a former episode a while back that there was a

335
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: time when Supreme Court did not want to get into

336
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: I hate to say this, but into politics, which is

337
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: so stupid, right because it's like, well, duh, you're a

338
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: political position, whether you want it to be or not.

339
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 2: But the design was for it to be as far

340
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: away from politics as it can, as far as like

341
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 2: elective politics. You understand what I'm saying. You don't run

342
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 2: for position in Supreme Court. You have to get chosen

343
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: for it because they don't want you to have to campaign.

344
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: You feel me.

345
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 2: That was the idea, Like you got to be a

346
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: fair adjudicator of the law. Now, without getting into too

347
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 2: much theory, you start sounding like these hip hop blogs

348
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: where you start breaking down quadri entendres and trying to

349
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 2: figure out who this person is is disson and slide

350
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: dissing and sneak dishing, and then you get into the

351
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: like novella of hip hop before I start sounding like that.

352
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: With with you know.

353
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: Constitutional thought, they used to not be partisan, and the

354
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: point was for it to not be partisan. The point

355
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: was for you to be able to decide if something

356
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: fits into the frame of the Constitution or not.

357
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: Who gets to say what? Right?

358
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: Whose position is it for y'all? Like, that's not your

359
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 2: that's not your job, right keV on stage, which I love,

360
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: trust me, I'm going somewhere with this. He had posted

361
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 2: this thing, this question that he put on the internet,

362
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: which I answered immediately the same way he answered. He said,

363
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: what's one thing that you do as a parent that

364
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: is completely unthinkable from when you were a child, like

365
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: your parents would have the thought would have never crossed

366
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: their mind to allow this. And before he even finished

367
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: that answer, I was like, have an opinion. Let me

368
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: tell you something. You see this, Melanie, tell you something

369
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 2: about our culture. Kids don't have opinions unless they are

370
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 2: given to you.

371
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: By your parents. You understand what I'm trying to say. Listen.

372
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: I mean I'm talking about phrases like you like what

373
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 2: I say, you like you understand what I'm saying.

374
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: Listen.

375
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: And she say, my mama said, once you don't know

376
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: what I'm feeding you for dinner, you gonna eat it

377
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: because you trust me and I love you. I could

378
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: be feeding you roaches and peel bugs. You wouldn't know

379
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 2: you gonna eat it.

380
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: Now.

381
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: She obviously wasn't feeding me that, but what her point was,

382
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 2: you eat what I give you. You can have this

383
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 2: for dinner or sleep for dinner. And nobody ask you

384
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: what you wanted for dinner. And if I asked you

385
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: what you want for dinner, it's because I'm trying to

386
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 2: get ideas of what I'm gonna cook, or we gonna

387
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 2: have black eyed peas. I don't like black eyed peas.

388
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: I don't remember asking you your opinion. If I needed

389
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: your opinion, I would ask you. So Like what I'm

390
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: saying is there's something different to have an opinion is

391
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: talk back. Having an opinion is disrespectful. The way that

392
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: we grew up, you have to help try to say so.

393
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody concerned about your opinion right now is the

394
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: way that the Scotus is supposed to function. The Scots

395
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: don't do. Ain't nobody asked the president what he thinks

396
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: about nothing. Ain't nobody ask you what you think, how

397
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: you feel there? Ain't nobody ask you that the question

398
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: that's in front of us. I'm gonna answer that question,

399
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna decided because that's my job. The system

400
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: of checks and balances cut. You understand what I'm saying.

401
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: So that's the way it was supposed to die. I

402
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: ain't worried about no partisan. Now if I come in here,

403
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 2: there should be a diversity of thought. But the original

404
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: plan was for it to not be like partisan. Matter

405
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: of fact, there wasn't even a lot of stuff in

406
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: the Constitution about this.

407
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm again, this is all view the constitution. Just say.

408
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: You should have a Supreme Court, and don't say how

409
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: many of them. They didn't even have an office, homie.

410
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: They was in the basement. You feel me like.

411
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 1: It was like not.

412
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: It was very loose and it wasn't designed to be.

413
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: They supposed to be nerds in like like like nerds.

414
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: You know when we go to the tape in in

415
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: uh in sports to be like what you call the

416
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: balls and strikes you nerds, like you're supposed to be

417
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 2: in them rule books, you're supposed to be, well actually right, okay?

418
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 2: But what if okay, so say for example, a meteor hits,

419
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: who gets to decide and in which budget we pull

420
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: from as to whether to spend that budget on relief

421
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: or military defense?

422
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: And does this count as the military?

423
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: And if it is the military, which branch gets to

424
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: take the like they are in the weeds.

425
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: Fam is the way for which it was designed.

426
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: But as power goes hunger for power, it became sort

427
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: of a weapon, a wielding sword in the hands of

428
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: either the Congress or the executive branch. And that was

429
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 2: what we're talking about, like weaponizing the courts, right is

430
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: that you know? And that was in some ways a

431
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: thirty to forty year a thing that the Republican Party,

432
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: like going all the way back to when what's the

433
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: name who's a boy that can't stand no mo?

434
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: That looked like a turtle? Why can't I Mitch McConnell,

435
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, y'all.

436
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: Is goes back all the way back today to like

437
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 2: today eighties with him where he's like all right, you know,

438
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: bet you know, all the way back since Rover versus Way,

439
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: Roe v. Wade, they've been trying to like get the

440
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 2: courts you know on they side. Now, this is not

441
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: something that is only given to the conservatives. It's just

442
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: the era we end, you know, the other way around

443
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: where we need to get some more liberal judges, you

444
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, And get some judges that's gonna

445
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 2: that's gonna call the game based on the way they

446
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 2: see it, Which gives me another thing. All this is

447
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: gonna be about terrorists, I promise you, uh, which gives

448
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: me another thing for you to think about here, which is,

449
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: is there even possible and objective truth, if you will,

450
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: absolute truth as to whether the law is applied.

451
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: Correctly or incorrectly?

452
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 2: And and what did like in the sense that what

453
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 2: did the what did the framers mean? What does the

454
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: Constitution mean when it says thus right? And the hard

455
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 2: part about that, which I honestly believe the more that

456
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: I'm into understanding our history, is that the ambiguity is

457
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 2: on purpose, that it was actually baked in there for

458
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 2: us to wrestle and try to figure out based on

459
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: the era that we're in now and how the world

460
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: was functional, how the world was going to function in

461
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 2: the future, because.

462
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, there's no way in the world none of them.

463
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 2: Could have predicted the world that we lived in now,

464
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 2: and I don't think they had any concept of it. Hell,

465
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: women weren't allowed to vote, black people weren't humans. Them

466
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 2: Niggas were not visionaries. But they were smart enough to

467
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: know that they don't know the future, you feel me,

468
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 2: So they built in this space for people to be

469
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: able to argue intensely with a respect for a desire

470
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: to see a more perfect union, you know what I'm saying.

471
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: But they knew that, like, we can't just write the

472
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: shit down because if we just write it down as

473
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: like this, what is going to be forever nigga, you

474
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: got a monarchy. So they had sense to know that

475
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: we can't do that, and for it to be a democracy,

476
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: the people got to be able to discuss and interpret that.

477
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: Being said, law is not something that a lot of

478
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: this right wing circle tries to convince you that what

479
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: is right and just is something that exists outside of us,

480
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: and we all need to find our way to that thing.

481
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: I gave y'all book called What Is justice by Malcolm

482
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: Sandew Michael Sandow and meaning that there is an absolute

483
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: definition of what and what I'm trying to say is

484
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: like justice as we understand it is through the lens

485
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: of the human experience. All of this has to do

486
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 2: with humans, and humans come at all different sizes and

487
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: shapes experiences, you know, and you bring that to your

488
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: interpretation of what you're looking at on the paper. So

489
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: it's impossible, right, right, But like I'm getting excited here

490
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: because I'm like, but if done correctly, this is a

491
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: beautiful thing.

492
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: Right is that you got to look at this all way?

493
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute now, right, you know I forgot

494
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: I didn't even get to go back to talk about

495
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: what the Supreme Court decided with Google as like, is

496
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: this a monopoly? You don't see what I'm saying, Like,

497
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 2: I don't think they, none of them could have thought

498
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: about a multi national conglomerate corporate Like you don't got

499
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: that in your head. You feel me when you're when

500
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: you're when you're creating laws around monopolies, you feel me

501
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: like you ain't got that in your head.

502
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: So we should be able to look at it and.

503
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: Say, okay, now, wait a minute, now, Okay, well what

504
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: do we Okay, what does this look like?

505
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: Now?

506
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: Now for y'all who know my past coming out of

507
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: the uh, the church traditions, I actually think we should

508
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: look at y'all should look at the Bible the same

509
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: way to be like, okay, now wait a minute. You

510
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: know why I know that because that's how Jesus did it,

511
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: That's how Paul did it.

512
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: That's how that's what they did.

513
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: They were going now okay, now wait a minute, now, okay,

514
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: this is a different world now, like are we book

515
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: of Proverbs? You know what I'm saying? Like that's written

516
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 2: to a little boy, little spoiled little boy that's going

517
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 2: to take over a kingdom. He's not talking to us,

518
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: but is he? Okay, now wait a minute, but if

519
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: he was talking to you, it's like you know, okay, now,

520
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: what was like they did the whole the whole Old

521
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: Testament is them trying to figure out what God means?

522
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: Like is God in this box? Uh? Is my God

523
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: better than your God?

524
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: Because it my God pulled down fire from heaven and

525
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: burnt your God's alters? Is my God better? Because we

526
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: want at war? And if you reading Judges and Samuel

527
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 2: and chronicles.

528
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: That's the answer, right, y'all. Wagh is better than the

529
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: rest of y'all because we wanted war. Word you. What

530
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, so, what.

531
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say is like these people trying to

532
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: figure out retool.

533
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: And trying to like understand what's happening right now.

534
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: So, I mean, I know our Cordy that said we're

535
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: I'm about to talk about AIPA, But this is what

536
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say. The idea is you post to

537
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: wrestle with it. Here's the problem with America. We're deeply racist.

538
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: It's baked into the We are racists, we are sexist,

539
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 2: we are power hungry.

540
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: It's just you like you, you Kate Niggas is racist.

541
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying. So how you supposed to like.

542
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 2: Ou know that is that like you, it's we How

543
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: would you supposed to look at the law and not

544
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 2: have that be a part of it. Well, one way

545
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: you do it is you bring minorities into the courts.

546
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: Those are the perspectives.

547
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: You bring people that come from poverty, You bring people

548
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: that have experienced the other sides of the constitution. You

549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: you you you listen to the to the the brilliance

550
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: of a Frederick Douglass. That is like, what's a fourth

551
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: of July to a slave? What's an independence day?

552
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: To us?

553
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 2: The hell you talking about? You shooting out? You shooting

554
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: out of fireworks. Meanwhile my ancestors had to clean up

555
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: them fire where we couldn't go to that.

556
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: That wasn't my independence. You need that perspective.

557
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: So you say, hey, hold up now, let me give

558
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: you an example when my own life told this story

559
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: so many times. Twenty seven Native American Reservations was my

560
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 2: first national tour with the Hommy Red Cloud, and you

561
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 2: spend more time with Native Americans and as somebody like

562
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: myself who believes highly in reparations, feeling as though it

563
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: seemed like we the only people ain't got it.

564
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: Job said like did not to say this is right.

565
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: But the Japanese got for the internment camps, they got theirs.

566
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 2: You know, Aborigines in Australia they get bred like Nigga

567
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: don't white, got nothing to say the foundational black people

568
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: on I gotten say that and to us ours don't count.

569
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: We supposed to just get over it.

570
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: Well, my forty acres and the mule you start hanging

571
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: out with natives and they like, who's forty acres are

572
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: you getting?

573
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Boy?

574
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: When I tell you that was a knife to my chest,

575
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: they said, then people ain't got the right to give

576
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 2: you land, Nigga, that's not they land. The land belonged

577
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: to us. So if you demanding forty acres and a mule,

578
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: you demand and stolen land? You trying to like you

579
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 2: what you think? That make us feel like? That's why

580
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 2: you need other perspectives. Dog, I was like, I ain't

581
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 2: never thought of that anyway. The design of the scultures

582
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: is for them to not really give a what the

583
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: rest of the people think. We gonna do what we're

584
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: gonna do. But as you know, even with that, you know,

585
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 2: those that will power are going to try to put

586
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: people in position that you know, at least think the

587
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 2: way you think, which is probably one of the most

588
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 2: human things anyone's ever done. Okay, all that preamble, Damn,

589
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 2: let's actually talk about what we need to talk about.

590
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: And it's the Supreme Court.

591
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: Saying, now, fam about these turfs?

592
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: Next?

593
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we're back.

594
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: So somebody got into Trump's head about tariffs. Now I

595
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 2: think we did a whole episode on boy boy that

596
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: he got his theory from. And boy boy's name is

597
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 2: It's it's Peter Navarro and Peter Navarro on all the

598
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: charts and stuff. In his book a dude named like

599
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 2: roy Vara, which was basically an acronym of his name.

600
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 2: So the guy he's citing as his expert is himself

601
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: in his book. Yeah, that's the dude that came up

602
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 2: with this terrorff plan. Yeah, so put that in your

603
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 2: pipe and let it preach anyway. So the plan, as

604
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 2: you know, was he was like, I'm finn tariff for everybody.

605
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 2: This is my greatest weapon. Everybody gonna bow down, you

606
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying to a g that's greater than you,

607
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 2: because I'm gonna make y'all pay if y'all want to

608
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: spend on my block, you feel me. But the problem

609
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: is a tariff, like we said before, is a tax, right,

610
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 2: and according to the system of checks and balances, the

611
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: president don't get to control the taxes. That's not the

612
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: executive power. That's the congress. The congress controls the purse, right,

613
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: and then the president executive controls the sword.

614
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: You feel me, right, So.

615
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: That's not your position unless we're in an emergency, and

616
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: the emergency. Thing that gives this is this law called AIPA,

617
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: which you know, the government and a actor in International

618
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: Emergency Economic Powers Act, right, is that it gives you

619
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: the broad right to impose tariffs. So if we're in

620
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 2: a state of emergency, then the president can do this.

621
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 2: So the President was like, well, we're in an emergency,

622
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: so then the next obvious question should be what's the emergency, sir?

623
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: And according to him, the emergency is, well, it's fentanyl.

624
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 2: We're being attacked by these you know, we're being invaded

625
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: by these terrorists from Nicaragra.

626
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: It's the the fentanyl. It's all of this stuff.

627
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: Everything, our own smolians, everything I don't like about what's

628
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 2: happening in America right now means we in a state

629
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 2: of an emergency and everybody taking advantage of us.

630
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: That being said, whatever, if that's what you need, I

631
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: get the power. I'm finna do it right now.

632
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 2: What we've all been frustrated about in this first or

633
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: in this second Trump administration is like where in d

634
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 2: hell is the Congress. It's almost like y'all like y'all scared,

635
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: and it's kind of weird because it's just like, my

636
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: why y'all just like you know these tariffs ain't good

637
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 2: for you. I'm pretty sure y'all breathed, especially the Republicans,

638
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 2: breathed quite a sigh of relief when the Supreme Court

639
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: was like you, nigga, you didn't have the right to

640
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 2: do this right because they was like coming up into

641
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 2: the MITSI, nigga, that's gonna have to defend it?

642
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: Is this your boy?

643
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, now, how many of y'all got

644
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: some dumb ass friends that you've had to defend and

645
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: because that's your boy or that's my girl, you understand.

646
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: And saying, look, man, that's my best friend.

647
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 2: Like I know, I've had to look at some I

648
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: got two friends I'm thinking about in my head who

649
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 2: I love dearly. But when everybody leave, leave, I'll be

650
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: looking at him like my nigga, please don't make me

651
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: go outside and defend this because you're gonna make me

652
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: the and at some point you're gonna be like money,

653
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: you on your own right. So I now a few

654
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: of these Republicans were just like money.

655
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: God can't definish shit, dog, you know what I'm saying.

656
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 2: But uh, thank the Lord, they don't have to grow

657
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: a backboom because the Supreme Court did it. Now, remember

658
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 2: we said before the Supreme Court picks up a docket,

659
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 2: they pick up the things that they agreeing on being

660
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 2: able to look at right, these are the cases we'll

661
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 2: listen to.

662
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: Now.

663
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 2: Remember, like I said before, the Supreme Court can only

664
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: answer the question that's asked of them, and the question

665
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: was not are the tariffs working? The question was not

666
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: who was paying the tariffs? Because the answer to that

667
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 2: is the tariffs are working in the sense that we

668
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 2: getting the money. Only the problem is the money that

669
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 2: being paid is us. We pay it. It's not coming

670
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: from the other countries. It's not coming from the corporate

671
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 2: it's coming from the consume. So frustrating, it's coming from

672
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 2: the consumer. Seventeen hundred dollars per household is we paid them.

673
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: FedEx got the nerve to be suing the government because

674
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 2: they want their money back.

675
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: Nigga, that's not your money.

676
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 2: Although it's kind of like to me, it's like it's

677
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 2: like the reparations with the Native Americans. It's kind of

678
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 2: the same joint to where it's like, nah, you owe us,

679
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 2: and it's like hold up now, they he would be

680
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 2: paying you back with our money. So I kind of

681
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 2: feel like that money you should be suing them on

682
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: behalf of us, don't you?

683
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you wouldn't you agree? Anyway?

684
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 2: So obviously the question was what's what's the emergency? And

685
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: since there isn't one, that meant that this needed to

686
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 2: get taken to the Supreme Court. It is not your job,

687
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 2: not necessarily. Again, do these work? Are they right? What

688
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 2: the tariff is? Do you even have the authority to

689
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: do it?

690
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: Is the question right? That's the one that was being question.

691
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: Remember we talked about the answering the question like on

692
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 2: the merits like okay, so when you're gonna ask me

693
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 2: on the strength of is this right? When we was

694
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 2: talking about like birthright citizenship, That's what we talked about

695
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 2: that one.

696
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: Like anyway, the point is the Congress set taxes.

697
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 2: Now when you read they one hundred and forty page things.

698
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: What they do.

699
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: They put out this document that says listen, now it

700
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 2: passed sixty three.

701
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: Right.

702
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 2: They put out a document saying, look, this is what

703
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 2: we think, here's the laws, here's the president precedence, here's

704
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 2: why we think that.

705
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: And then a part of that is the dissenting.

706
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 2: The people that get to say, I just want to

707
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 2: go on record that I think that's bullshit.

708
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 1: Right, That's usually how it works.

709
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: Now, what they brought up was this, uh, this thing

710
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 2: called the major questions doctrine. And again this is nerdery,

711
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: but it's but in the in the in the Supreme

712
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 2: Court's opinion, it says that there is no exception to

713
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: the major questions doctrine for emergency statutes. Right, does the

714
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: fact that the tariffs implicate foreign affairs render to the

715
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: doctrine in applicable? The Framers gave the Congress alone the

716
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: power to impose tariffs during peacetime, So what is the

717
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: major questions is what he's talking about. So the major

718
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 2: questions doctrine is says in you ready for this extraordinary cases,

719
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 2: the Court will not accept a federal agency's claim that

720
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 2: Congress has authorized the agency to make major policy decisions

721
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 2: with vast economic and political significance unless.

722
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: The statute in question provides.

723
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 2: Clear congressional authorization, notwithstanding that there may be a colorable

724
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: textual basis for the agency's claim.

725
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: This is West Virginia v. The e p A.

726
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 2: Right Follow Me Constitutions is very clear the Congress controls.

727
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: The taxes, tariffs's attacks. This is what they are. Congress

728
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: does it.

729
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 2: And the major question says, who gets to make these

730
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 2: major policy decisions without authorization? I need this, you need, nigga,

731
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 2: I need. I need the Congress to put together a

732
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: smoke sick nigga. You need to write it on your forehead.

733
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 2: I need it signed in triplicates. I need I need this.

734
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: I need the DOCU signed cuz I need you to.

735
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna mail you this paperwork. You need to sign

736
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 2: it and send it back.

737
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: My nigga.

738
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 2: Y'all remember the h the pink slips up under that

739
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 2: right when you signed shit in triplicates. You fill me

740
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: with the carbon copies. Nigga, we not like. That's the

741
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: major question. This needs to be abundantly clear. I need people,

742
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 2: people who only reads sway heally need to know that

743
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: the Congress said, nigga, you could do that, and the

744
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: Congress ain't do that, And you're trying to tell me

745
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 2: tariff in the planet is not a major A major decision.

746
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 2: So the Supreme Court held that the power to impose

747
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 2: tariffs is an exercise of Congress's taxing authority, and that

748
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 2: the Congress did not grant the president the authority to

749
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 2: impose tariffs under AEPA. This is what Judge Roberts, joined

750
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 2: by Justices Gorshen and Barrett, relied on in a part

751
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 2: of their decisions. These three justices concluded that the presidents

752
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: used to i EPA to impose sweeping parents represented a

753
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 2: transformative expansion of executive authority and extraordinary economic and political consequences. Now, remember,

754
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: these the same people that was willing to get that

755
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 2: man immunity. Like, if you was doing stuff in the

756
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 2: office and it's to forward the success of the country.

757
00:44:58,360 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: Then you get immunity.

758
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: You remember you remember, yeah, we talking about that nigga

759
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 2: immunity the hell as you're talking about.

760
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: These are the same people that you know deferred Chevron deference.

761
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: These the same people that was like, I guess we're

762
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 2: not gonna not gonna worry about that, no, most which

763
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 2: means again they like, listen, I don't give eight what

764
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 2: either of y'all think. We're gonna call this the way

765
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 2: we see this. Now, I'm not gonna agree with the

766
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 2: way they see this, But listen, they don't. They they

767
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 2: there for life. That's why you got a Clarence Thomas

768
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 2: talk about maybe we need to look at uh at

769
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 2: interracial marriage. Maybe you were tripping about that too, like

770
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 2: the nigga you married a white lady. I don't understand

771
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: how you willing to look at anyway. The point I'm

772
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 2: trying to say is these people be so nerdy that

773
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 2: a lot of times they so far away from where

774
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 2: we actually live that the questions they be asking don't

775
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 2: be making sense. But sometimes the stuff that be putting

776
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: in front of us that we had to deal with

777
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 2: this president.

778
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: Saying, well, this is an emergency, I'm just gonna use

779
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: that one.

780
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 2: Obviously the president was just looking for some sort of

781
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: justification for what he did and what he was gonna do.

782
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: Anyway, now the dissent next.

783
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So Justice Kavanaugh, Thomas, and Alito were the ones

784
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 2: that held that aipa's text and historical context authorized tariffs

785
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: and that the Major Questions doctrine does not apply to

786
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: the rand of foreign affairs, meaning maybe if it comes

787
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 2: to foreigner cap fairs, what the fuck does Congress got

788
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 2: to do with that? And one of the things they

789
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: have to do with that is remember they the ones

790
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 2: that get to declare war.

791
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: So anyway.

792
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 2: And then he also decided that if you decide that

793
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 2: these tariffs were unconstitutional, that you ain't had a right

794
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 2: to give them, what do we do with the money?

795
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 2: And he was like, well, it's well, it's gonna be

796
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 2: a mess, Like what do we do with the money?

797
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: Like money's already spent or we already got it?

798
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: Like so I mean to.

799
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 2: Do this, it's just like, well, it's too late, even

800
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 2: if it's wrong, Like how do you You can't untangle it,

801
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,959
Speaker 2: like you can't can't put the can't unshoot the gun,

802
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 2: you can't put the tube toothpaste back in the tube.

803
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 2: So forget about it.

804
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: It wouldn't that be nice? Is that not?

805
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 2: I mean, like, I look, look, not white people, but whiteness.

806
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,959
Speaker 2: Is that not the most powerful white boy answer you've

807
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 2: ever heard?

808
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's too late now, I mean, so I guess.

809
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 2: I mean it ain't no big deal. I don't already

810
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 2: I mean I hadn't already done it now. I mean

811
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 2: like it's too hard to figure out. How do I

812
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: how do I figure out? Like, so forget about it?

813
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 2: What's already done? So I mean whatever, I mean, Epstein's

814
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 2: already dead. So I mean like why do I mean,

815
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 2: what are we even?

816
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do?

817
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 2: Now?

818
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: Like the fuck you mean? Now?

819
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 2: If Trump had any riz, any aura, if he had

820
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 2: any flavor, he'd have been like, all right, cool. Remember

821
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 2: I told y'all I was gonna give y'all checks and this,

822
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: so these so they say I can't do it no more? Here, okay,

823
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 2: Well the check was gonna be bigger, had y'all let

824
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 2: me keep doing these things. But here you go his

825
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars each, and then he could do a

826
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 2: stupid little sign with his sharp ee on everybody's check

827
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 2: to be like, this is a Trump rebate, you know

828
00:48:58,880 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

829
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: Like if you add like like own it.

830
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 2: Like making chors, then be like, well, Supreme Court said

831
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 2: I can't keep doing this. This check would have been

832
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 2: six thousand dollars, but they told me it was unconstitutional.

833
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 2: So here go to money like men. Maybe maybe you

834
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 2: could talk to the Supreme Court tell and let me

835
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 2: do this man everybody eat.

836
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: But he ain't. He ain't got the flavor like we got.

837
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: What he did was he got mad, and then when.

838
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 2: Found another law to try to put the puriffs back on.

839
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 2: But what I found is a check covers a multitude

840
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 2: of sins. You stand up saying, I bet you, had

841
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 2: you passed that DOZE check on niggas would have chilled out.

842
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 2: I bet you, had you passed that COVID check on

843
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 2: niggas would have chilled out too. You remember, we was

844
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 2: mad at waiting for our eight hundred dollars check. We

845
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 2: like three checks behind. Homie, you keep promising money that

846
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 2: you ain't got. Which is what?

847
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 1: Which is? What's going on?

848
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give y'all a check on two, which means

849
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 2: this to me. He keeps saying, we brought in all

850
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 2: this money. Look at me, y'all.

851
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: The money gone. You ain't never promised.

852
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 2: You ain't never promised the same twenty dollars to three

853
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 2: different people.

854
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: You do it every time you gotta pay your bills.

855
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,959
Speaker 2: I'm there, Look, I got like one hundred and fifty

856
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 2: in my account, so I'll pay this bill, this bill,

857
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 2: and this bill. Nigga, they're all three of them bills

858
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: is four hundred dollars. You promising the same one hundred

859
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars. And then he got the nerve to

860
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 2: save for his board a piece. I'm just gonna grab

861
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 2: ten million from the pot ten billion. I fought ten

862
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 2: billion from the potet put it over there. Nigga, listen this,

863
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 2: at least in this one moment, is the system of

864
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 2: checking ballance is actually kicking in.

865
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: But I pray you please.

866
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 2: Do not welcome them, Supreme Court justices to the revolution.

867
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 2: Them is not our comrades. Just because it worked out.

868
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 2: There's one particular moment. They aren't our friends. You with me,

869
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 2: they're not our friends. But hey, since Congress is scared.

870
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: And then, like I said yesterday or last week on

871
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 2: the tap end, he looked at the Congress and told them, nigga,

872
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna find another one you ain't gonna do,

873
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,240
Speaker 2: which is when we when when they first became president,

874
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 2: I told you the one thing to me to be

875
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 2: afraid of is what jd Vance was asserting. Y'all could

876
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 2: go back, you know, pull my our seats. When jd

877
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 2: Vance was asserting that, I really don't got to listen

878
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 2: to the court unless I like what the courts say.

879
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: We're watching that play out.

880
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 2: But hey, last time that I checked and balanced, the

881
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:27,680
