Speaker 1: All media. Okay, Look, you might think the answer would
Speaker 1: be so obvious and uncomplicated. I have been a professional
Speaker 1: artist for most of my adult life, and in a
Speaker 1: hypothetical situation, if somebody were to say, Beyonce is looking
Speaker 1: for an opener, you want to go open for Beyonce?
Speaker 1: You would think the answer would be, Oh, are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? She's the biggest artist in world. Let's make
Speaker 1: it a little more closer to my genre, Drake TD
Speaker 1: top Dog Entertainment. Do you want to go open Top
Speaker 1: Dogs during a tour and it's the last one Kendrick's
Speaker 1: going to be on? Do you want to go on
Speaker 1: this tour? You would think no, brainer, right, And I
Speaker 1: mean I would most likely say yes, But you might
Speaker 1: be wondering what my hesitation might be. Well, because well,
Speaker 1: number one, if you're introduction to that many people, is
Speaker 1: that situation. You will forever be Hey, that's all brut
Speaker 1: open for top Dog? Right? You will always be that dude.
Speaker 1: You ain't gonna be your own name. You're gonna be Oh,
Speaker 1: that's that, Hey, that's that's because that open, that's blood
Speaker 1: that open for? Yeah, I use cool? What's his name again?
Speaker 1: You gonna always be that. If you've been to arena
Speaker 1: concert a stadium concert, no one cares about the openers. Now,
Speaker 1: if it's a festival that one of these acts are headlining,
Speaker 1: that's a different story. You go to festivals oftentimes to
Speaker 1: discover new music. You have a better chance of earning
Speaker 1: some actual traction at a festival like this, But an
Speaker 1: arena tour of that one artist, you might get five
Speaker 1: or six people that would say, Hey, that dude was cool.
Speaker 1: Who was that? Which is five or six more people,
Speaker 1: And if it's an arena, maybe five or six becomes
Speaker 1: five or six hundred that dude was dope? Who was that?
Speaker 1: That's about it. Listen, no one's gonna take their phone
Speaker 1: out and follow you. It's too big. They're gonna go
Speaker 1: get their drinks. This is their sign that like, we
Speaker 1: better go get your background music. You are a playlist
Speaker 1: in an arena and you better hurry up. And let
Speaker 1: me give you a little bit of insider tip on this.
Speaker 1: When you're an opener on an arena like that or
Speaker 1: on a show like that with a that big of
Speaker 1: a headliner, even the volume of your sound it's like
Speaker 1: twenty or thirty DB's lower than the headliner. You don't
Speaker 1: get the same lights. Sometimes the lights be on in
Speaker 1: the in the arena, so you're performing while the lights
Speaker 1: are up. You're performing when people walk in. You get
Speaker 1: ten minutes, sometimes you get five minutes. Sometimes you get
Speaker 1: a song and maybe the headliner will bring you out. Now, Now,
Speaker 1: if in that situation I have to happen to have
Speaker 1: a new song with Beyonce and she's like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take you on to it, that's a different story. But
Speaker 1: if nobody in this arena knows me, generally the stance
Speaker 1: is yo, who bruh? And when is he done? And
Speaker 1: that's if they even notice you performing. NI bring it
Speaker 1: like I paid five thousand dollars to see Bay. We
Speaker 1: hear this, like, yo, who is this? You might be
Speaker 1: turning people off. Now, I consider myself a professional. I
Speaker 1: usually I have been in situations where maybe not I've
Speaker 1: been I've played it. I played arenas before. Now granted
Speaker 1: they were like festivals or things where I was set
Speaker 1: up well where it was like and that's the situation too,
Speaker 1: Like if it was like, hey, I wrote a poetry
Speaker 1: piece for this tour and I get to open her set,
Speaker 1: I get to open their set, that's kind of setting
Speaker 1: the tone. Then I'm making a lot of money. I
Speaker 1: get to say my name is in the credits. If
Speaker 1: I'm a part of the main set, then that means
Speaker 1: I got merch upstairs. And if that's the case, you
Speaker 1: got good video footage. There's you know, you get you
Speaker 1: get to use the crane camera part of the you
Speaker 1: part of the tour recap. And then when they stream
Speaker 1: the live tour experience on like Amazon or NETFLI, now
Speaker 1: you part of the video. That's okay. Now that's a
Speaker 1: move because you and you getting tiktoks out the yang.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You get in content from that.
Speaker 1: But if you just gonna throw me out front to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, come open up, or let me let me,
Speaker 1: let me make this scenario be even more specific. Hey,
Speaker 1: for tonight, when you get to California, you got Crypto Arena.
Speaker 1: It's Drake only Drake Scott laryngitis. He can't perform. Do
Speaker 1: you want to take his slot? Nigga? No, No, they
Speaker 1: are gonna throw beer at me. I'm not taking this.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? No? You would think, well, ain't
Speaker 1: you hungry? Nigga? Yes, I'm hung but not like that,
Speaker 1: cuz you're setting me up for failure. I have played
Speaker 1: a show and I don't know if Game, oh ever
Speaker 1: year it is. But there was an event where me
Speaker 1: and my friends were the two opening acts for a
Speaker 1: concert with Game, and Game didn't come and they made
Speaker 1: us go out and perform more songs I like and what,
Speaker 1: And according to the promoter, Game was like you, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not enough people there. I'm not performing for an
Speaker 1: empty room. And I get it. For the level he
Speaker 1: was at at the time, that's not his fault. At
Speaker 1: that time, it's like, it's not his fault. You didn't
Speaker 1: sell no tickets. You should have promoted this better. I'm
Speaker 1: not lowering my brand because you didn't do your job,
Speaker 1: was his position. Apparently from what I know, Game cat
Speaker 1: checking in like, yo, is a full yet? Is a
Speaker 1: full yet? And then finally he was like, man, you
Speaker 1: know I'm not coming. It's just not enough people there.
Speaker 1: And his contract is like, well, you're still gonna pay him, bruh.
Speaker 1: I've never been more terrified. They're not dead for me,
Speaker 1: I'm they dead for him. You want me to go? Okay,
Speaker 1: So they're like, yo, you want to extra thirty minutes nigga.
Speaker 1: No I don't cuz no I do not wote both time.
Speaker 1: They gonna be like, nigga, get this nigga off the stage. Bro,
Speaker 1: who is this? Who is it? Who is this nigga?
Speaker 1: Is he? I mean yeah, I guess the song cool?
Speaker 1: I mean cool? I guess In any other scenario, In
Speaker 1: any other scenario, if Game walked on the stage and
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, this my man's propaganda. He gonna do
Speaker 1: a few songs for you, that set up totally different.
Speaker 1: I got twenty minutes before a game, come on, I'm
Speaker 1: a murder it. Then I get Then at that point,
Speaker 1: I got a merch table. I get to introduce myself.
Speaker 1: I get to talk a little more. It's a little
Speaker 1: more intimate. This ain't a damn arena Cuz, like you,
Speaker 1: you're setting yourself up. You do you think you want
Speaker 1: that job. You think you want a substitute for Drake,
Speaker 1: You think you do nigging. Nobody in the room knows you.
Speaker 1: You know how silent that arena is gonna be. No
Speaker 1: one knows your songs. It's no one knows your songs.
Speaker 1: You're introducing yourself to twenty thousand people who came to
Speaker 1: sing along to start it from the bottom to sing
Speaker 1: hits ya you think you want that job? You don't.
Speaker 1: They gonna look at you and be like, who is
Speaker 1: this now? Don't get me wrong again. I am a
Speaker 1: great performer and I love challenges. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've ever seen me rap or keynote or do poetry.
Speaker 1: Your boy can burn down the stage, So you know,
Speaker 1: challenge accepted this setup though, you really piling on the
Speaker 1: rocks and your backpack on this setup. Y'all? Who the
Speaker 1: hell is Mike Johnson and why is he the Speaker
Speaker 1: of the House politics? Y'all? Good morning man, listen. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I say good morning because that's when
Speaker 1: I these pods. I try to record every Monday more
Speaker 1: than this to have a little diligence continuation to just
Speaker 1: to manage my workload, which boy does a lot. But
Speaker 1: I don't know. I usually crush podcasts in the morning too.
Speaker 1: After I get a workout, you know, do what I
Speaker 1: gotta do, have my coffee, I start listening to listen
Speaker 1: to my pod. Anyway, I'm here to talk about the
Speaker 1: freaking new guy. Why I give that comparison is because
Speaker 1: I mean, it's entire articles whole, full, whole articles saying wait,
Speaker 1: who bro who is this about this new speaker? By
Speaker 1: now though scene or listen to a few pods or
Speaker 1: news stories pieces about who Mike Johnson is. A couple
Speaker 1: considerations as to why the GOP would choose him, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give y'all my take, my little hood take
Speaker 1: as to like why they ran with him and why
Speaker 1: this might not be that bad of a setup for it.
Speaker 1: Although my initial response is what you is, what you
Speaker 1: heard in the opening is sometimes you can't you can't
Speaker 1: skip steps. You know when people say, you know, you
Speaker 1: can't fit in my shoes and shoes is too big
Speaker 1: to fill. Usually it's when, like, you know, somebody pass
Speaker 1: away or whatever. It's like, it's not like Speaker McCarthy
Speaker 1: with some giant of a figure that he has too
Speaker 1: big of a shoes. It's the position he's stepping into.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've stuttered, because I need you
Speaker 1: to understand the weight of the situation this man is
Speaker 1: stepping into. And how miserable of a job if you
Speaker 1: haven't been I mean, I don't know how long this
Speaker 1: brother been in the in the in the house, in
Speaker 1: the Congress, But you know that's a it's a job
Speaker 1: you really don't want. You think you won't it, but
Speaker 1: you don't want it. But the thing is, he's third
Speaker 1: in line of secession if there die and then the
Speaker 1: vice president die, the Speaker of the House, like you
Speaker 1: third in line? Is you really you really think you
Speaker 1: ready for this? Cause like you like you your weight,
Speaker 1: you got your weight up that much that you're ready
Speaker 1: for this position. I just don't. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're ready for this big dog. And maybe he got
Speaker 1: the history of governing which we might go through. Maybe
Speaker 1: you know he got he got the history of governing.
Speaker 1: But listen, you ain't never let me when you start,
Speaker 1: when your stars starts, starts shooting up a little bit.
Speaker 1: As an artist or as an entertainer, you have to
Speaker 1: do what's called media training. I don't know if any
Speaker 1: of y'all ever heard of this, but you have to
Speaker 1: know how to talk on camera, which sounds ridiculous because
Speaker 1: it's just talking. But there's a way to breathe. Because
Speaker 1: if you noticed, when you're watching the news, when you're
Speaker 1: watching interviews, you can't really tell a person's breathing, like
Speaker 1: you don't know you can don't you don't hear him cough,
Speaker 1: you don't hear them breaths. You know they're taking breaths
Speaker 1: because of course, but you have to that's a training.
Speaker 1: You have to learn how to answer questions. You have
Speaker 1: to learn how to divert questions. You have to learn
Speaker 1: how to say something that might need an entire minute,
Speaker 1: two minute, five minutes, ten minutes, a half hour of context.
Speaker 1: You have to figure out how to say in eight seconds.
Speaker 1: My one of my favorite, like Zone Out podcast, is
Speaker 1: Colin O'Brien's I think he's hilarious, but yeah, Colin O'Brien
Speaker 1: needs a friend. On his show, he kept talking about
Speaker 1: why he enjoys this format more because when you're on
Speaker 1: his late night show, it's eight minutes. So if you're megastar,
Speaker 1: you had eight minutes to like show your personality, say
Speaker 1: something funny, say something wise, and promote whatever project you're
Speaker 1: about to promote. You can't just you can't just jump
Speaker 1: from obscurity into that. You have to know how to
Speaker 1: talk on camera. NBA players they get the same thing.
Speaker 1: If you notice when NBA players are being interviewed, you
Speaker 1: you don't especially at the end of again, you don't
Speaker 1: see their personality like it's just uh yeah, no, you know,
Speaker 1: we got back on d we you know, we just
Speaker 1: really had to focus and keep the intensity up, you know,
Speaker 1: and it was it was tough towards the end, but
Speaker 1: we started hitting the rebounds and I think we came
Speaker 1: out on top. Like this, you have to be trained
Speaker 1: to talk like that now, unless you like Marshawn Lynch
Speaker 1: or you know, Russell Westbrook who are like they just funny,
Speaker 1: you know, or Kyrie Irving, like they just funny. You
Speaker 1: see them later, you see their personality, right, but they're
Speaker 1: they do what they want. I know a handful of
Speaker 1: professional athletes life flex and I mean these some of
Speaker 1: these brothers just like hilarious dude, some of them very quiet,
Speaker 1: some of them they have their full whole ass humans,
Speaker 1: you know. But that end of the game, well, you know,
Speaker 1: we got back on dys because it's like we just
Speaker 1: you represent a very large company and a lot of money,
Speaker 1: so don't be mouthed off that simple. So there are
Speaker 1: steps that happen off camera, off mic that aren't just
Speaker 1: about your skills your ability to do the job. There's
Speaker 1: things like that. There's like you have to be made
Speaker 1: aware of your unconscious ticks. You may have a habit
Speaker 1: of scratching your chin and you don't know you do.
Speaker 1: You may have a habit of twisting your eye a
Speaker 1: certain way. It all shows up on camp, all of it.
Speaker 1: You may have a way of being sarcastic. And if
Speaker 1: you understand what happens when you're setting up a joke
Speaker 1: and you're building up the sarcasm, the clip only gonna
Speaker 1: be thirty seconds, and that's gonna go across the world.
Speaker 1: You don't just go from zero to one hundred you
Speaker 1: think you do. Nobody is really that type of a
Speaker 1: success story. No, there's training that happens in between to
Speaker 1: get to that position. I'm just saying, like you think
Speaker 1: you want it, you think you want it, There's a
Speaker 1: lot that goes on in between. Now you might be asking,
Speaker 1: or maybe not asking because you don't really care, but
Speaker 1: you might. But I think if you listen to this podcast,
Speaker 1: you kind you'd be like, WHOA, what's what exactly is
Speaker 1: the job description? The speaker at a house? You just
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like, you know, like hall monitor,
Speaker 1: like it's just like a not a real job, you know,
Speaker 1: And when you look ato the Constitution, all the Constitution says,
Speaker 1: is there should be a speaker like it don't really
Speaker 1: tell you. It ain't really much there as to like
Speaker 1: what the speaker at the house actually does. Now as
Speaker 1: decorum had went on, what the speaker at the house does?
Speaker 1: Wait before I get to that, y'all understood the hall
Speaker 1: monitor reference, dude? Or is this just the sign of
Speaker 1: my age? Like y'all ain't watch no eighties movies. Hall
Speaker 1: monitor It's like basically it's the kid that gets a
Speaker 1: little badge from like the school security mom or whatever
Speaker 1: that is helping out the teachers and the staff to
Speaker 1: make sure that you go to class, that when you
Speaker 1: go or the bathroom, that you have a hall pass,
Speaker 1: you know, and that you you have an excuse when
Speaker 1: you're wondering, hey, where class are you supposed to be?
Speaker 1: And you can't be in class out you can't be
Speaker 1: out here right now, you're monitoring the halls. It's like
Speaker 1: you absolute nerd, Like are you serious which a little
Speaker 1: pretend badge talk about I'm helping you know to Simpson's reference,
Speaker 1: Like just you're like, this is not this is not
Speaker 1: a real you don't have real power. It's not a
Speaker 1: real job anyway. So the Speaker of the House just
Speaker 1: says he just gets the gavel. It seems like I
Speaker 1: just get to gosh. Right. But as decorum has gone on,
Speaker 1: what the Speaker of the House does is essentially yes,
Speaker 1: he calls the order to hear she because you know,
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is arguably one of the best ones we've
Speaker 1: ever had. Right as far as effectiveness, you got AKR
Speaker 1: which was hell of effective. Right. So they the person
Speaker 1: calls to order the meetings, the person approves the agenda
Speaker 1: for what we to talk about. Right, It's your job
Speaker 1: to make sure that as bills get presented that you
Speaker 1: got enough riz if you will, to keep your own
Speaker 1: party in check, to make sure that everybody happy in
Speaker 1: your own party, which is very hard and especially in
Speaker 1: the season we en now make sure everybody happy, everybody
Speaker 1: get what they want. You got to meet with your
Speaker 1: whole squad at like your whole party. You got to
Speaker 1: be able to convince people in the other party that
Speaker 1: it would benefit them if they make some concessions and
Speaker 1: we make some concessions. Essentially, you are the back end
Speaker 1: sort of viscosity, the oil of the machine that is
Speaker 1: running the government. It's actually a very difficult position, and
Speaker 1: you got to have a silver tongue. You got to
Speaker 1: be so respected among the masses right that because you
Speaker 1: gotta be you can't get pumped. And what happened with
Speaker 1: what you just saw is speaking McCarthy ain't got the juice.
Speaker 1: You just you got. Even your way of getting to
Speaker 1: the position was just proof that you ain't got the
Speaker 1: juice Cuz you and and and it's what we told
Speaker 1: you we as in me and the last time we
Speaker 1: talked about speaking macarthy and getting this position was that. Listen,
Speaker 1: you don't have the juice, bro, like you like fools
Speaker 1: don't respect your game, they don't respect your name. Gonna
Speaker 1: listen to you. You you came in like a punk.
Speaker 1: You can't get the position in a fraudulent way and
Speaker 1: expect these killers to respect you. It's just you can't.
Speaker 1: Like who is you going back to taking Drake slot
Speaker 1: like Yo, Prop's a dope rapper? But bro, who who
Speaker 1: are you? Like? Bro? Who is this? I saw Corey?
Speaker 1: Ain't he said, but my homeboy sound good as him?
Speaker 1: Like what he doing? Why he get this position? You understand,
Speaker 1: you gotta have weight. There needs to be some like
Speaker 1: grap a toss before you could just step it, just
Speaker 1: it and it's not popularity like understand what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like it don't matter what the people with the public think.
Speaker 1: Although that helps, that helps with your gravitas, of course
Speaker 1: it helps. But it's more like you gotta be like
Speaker 1: favorite rappers, favorite rapper type beat. It's it's you could
Speaker 1: be hove Hove. That's one rap. That's that's presidency, Speaker
Speaker 1: of the House. People like like that position, or like
Speaker 1: a Mitch McConnell, like a like a Senate majority Senate
Speaker 1: minority leader. That's more like black thought. That's Pharaoh manch
Speaker 1: that's Andre three thousand. Where you ask all of your
Speaker 1: favorite rappers who the best rappers in the world are,
Speaker 1: they gonna say them, it's your favorite rappers, favorite rapper.
Speaker 1: It's the person that walks into the room. It's bust
Speaker 1: the rhymes. It's like where maybe your gen z nephew
Speaker 1: has never heard of these rappers, but the rappers that
Speaker 1: he heard of all point back to this dude. Right, you know,
Speaker 1: there ain't no a lot of the little little only
Speaker 1: exists because of Wayne. Right, So it's that it's your
Speaker 1: favorite rapper's favorite rapper type energy. So for this position,
Speaker 1: you got to be your favorite politician's favorite politician. Who
Speaker 1: the hell is Mike Johnson? Now who was running for
Speaker 1: the position. Let's go back to that as to how
Speaker 1: you got to him in the first place. A podcast
Speaker 1: I listened to called a Political gab Fest, which I
Speaker 1: highly suggest y'all check out. These white folks really get
Speaker 1: it in man, Like I really, I really appreciate the show.
Speaker 1: But on that one of the hosts did this thing
Speaker 1: where he was like, all right, y'all, I mean, these
Speaker 1: people are like Harvard law professor. On's a CBS or
Speaker 1: CBS CBS. I'm such a gangst that's a tagging career
Speaker 1: here in La. Not the drug store. CBS's attacked anyway.
Speaker 1: One of them is a newscaster on CBS. Like, these
Speaker 1: people are brilliant. And one of the dudes was like,
Speaker 1: all right, wait now I think about it, CBS is
Speaker 1: attagging career out here. Anyway. Let me run off the
Speaker 1: names of people who were actual candidates for the next
Speaker 1: speaker and which ones I just made up. Listen, they
Speaker 1: this is their career. And he was like, which one
Speaker 1: of these names actually ran and which one of y'all
Speaker 1: has just made up? Jim Jordan, Mark Green, Michelle Caller,
Speaker 1: Charles Fleshman, Scott Austin, Roger Williams, Dexter Manley, Gary Palmer.
Speaker 1: Which one of them foods actually were running and which
Speaker 1: one is totally made up? Well, Jim Jordan was running,
Speaker 1: Mark Green was running, Michael Caller Nope, Scott Austin then
Speaker 1: he said was his roommate in college, Roger Williams, yes,
Speaker 1: Dexter Manley nope. And Gary Palmer, Yeah, he was running.
Speaker 1: What I'm trying to say is twelve nobody's you ever
Speaker 1: been to You have been to a concert where the
Speaker 1: show where it was like you wanted to see one
Speaker 1: of your one of your bands, you really like, up
Speaker 1: and coming band whatever. When I listen to rock, when
Speaker 1: I listened to Robert Evans talk, or or even Cody
Speaker 1: over there on on even More News, they be naming
Speaker 1: bands and I'd be like, you made that ship up.
Speaker 1: That's not a band, right, I had never heard none
Speaker 1: of you niggas. Right now, I feel the same way.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I can start naming off rappers
Speaker 1: that y'all would be like, man, who Nope, nope, prop
Speaker 1: you made that up. We should do that among the
Speaker 1: homies too. We would just make up rappers and be like, yo, yo,
Speaker 1: you heard you heard a little du dad man he's spitting.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I got his first record. Nigga, you
Speaker 1: ain't never I made that name up. But you go
Speaker 1: to a concert with a bunch of nobodies and then
Speaker 1: there's one guy and you're like, when is this dude
Speaker 1: gonna be done? When are all these dudes gonna be done?
Speaker 1: So I can see the one name I know anyway,
Speaker 1: that was essentially Jim Jordan on this. It's like, who
Speaker 1: are y'all? Right? So you got Steve Scalise. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: read off some stuff here from I believe this is
Speaker 1: from Politico, no associated press. So he announced his bid
Speaker 1: through a letter, right and since he's the House Majority leader,
Speaker 1: his position will become vacant if he's elected. So McCarthy's
Speaker 1: allies were critical of him, saying that he ain't really
Speaker 1: helped me during the leadership challenge, right So, and Scalise
Speaker 1: is battling cancer right now, so he's got these questions about,
Speaker 1: you know, his physical ability to do the job. According
Speaker 1: to one Republican lawmaker who choose to remain anonymous, he
Speaker 1: was asked if he was physically fit for the job,
Speaker 1: and apparently Scaliic is like, y'all feel great. You got
Speaker 1: Kevin hearn bro Who is this? He told reporters it's
Speaker 1: several lawmakers who approached him to consider running that he
Speaker 1: suggested he'd be open to it. He's the dude. Pete this.
Speaker 1: He's the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a study
Speaker 1: group for conservative Republicans. Patrick Henry he is on the
Speaker 1: chair of the Finance Services Committee and as a temporary
Speaker 1: House Speaker, he became the temporary one. If you didn't know,
Speaker 1: he could possibly use this to his advantage to keep
Speaker 1: this post. However, it's really not clear if he wants
Speaker 1: the job because you know, he a little substitute teacher.
Speaker 1: Niggas don't respect substitute teachers. You got Tim Emner or
Speaker 1: Emmer He's a House Republican whip, which will do a
Speaker 1: show on one day what the hell that means? And
Speaker 1: headed the House Republicans campaign arm during the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two midterm elections when Republicans recaptured the House majority from
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's Democrat You got Byron Donalds. He's representative from
Speaker 1: Florida nineteenth Congressional district and is gaining popularity in the
Speaker 1: Republican Party. In one round of speaker election in January,
Speaker 1: he received like twenty votes, so that you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: a little joos right, Tom Cole Right, He's a Republican
Speaker 1: veteran who holds a powerful position as a chair of
Speaker 1: the House Rules Committee. Although he has not said he's
Speaker 1: interested in the job, he could gather support from Republicans
Speaker 1: who are speaking on an alternative to a conservative speaker
Speaker 1: because they looking for somebody, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like everybody don't wanted the Maca thing going down. Then
Speaker 1: you got the haymaker, Hakim Jeffries. So he is the
Speaker 1: Democrat that had the Democrats held majority in the House,
Speaker 1: Nancy would have handed it to him. He's a Democratic
Speaker 1: leader who gained more poets voice. And here's what's crazy.
Speaker 1: He gained more votes than McCarthy during the eleven rounds
Speaker 1: of voting for speaker in January. While the Democrats are
Speaker 1: solidly behind Jeffrey, the Republican majority will most likely block
Speaker 1: a Democrat from taking the role. And then finally you
Speaker 1: got Jim Jordan. He'd got firecracker that was vehemently defending
Speaker 1: Trump during all the impeachment things. He's the dude acting
Speaker 1: real loud over Biden's impeachment right now. Right, he gets
Speaker 1: a lot of TV. That's what I mean by like
Speaker 1: media trained, so you would think, okay, loudmouth Trump surrogate,
Speaker 1: media trained. Of course he's gonna go for the job. Right.
Speaker 1: So he's from Ohio and he was the first Republican
Speaker 1: to announce his candidacy for speaker, and he's again vocal
Speaker 1: supporter of Trump. He led the vest he leads to
Speaker 1: the investigation against Joe Biden's administration, and he formed an
Speaker 1: alliance with McCarthy, which earned some skepticism with hard minor
Speaker 1: with hardliners and moderates see him as way too conservative.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna held you a weirdo and also, surprise, surprise,
Speaker 1: a lot of people this party don't like him neither.
Speaker 1: And I'm saying this as objectively as possible. That man
Speaker 1: a weirdo. Let me tell you why he a weirdo,
Speaker 1: because the nigga was sending threats to his own party
Speaker 1: about if they put him through the shit that they
Speaker 1: put McCarthy through, Like nigga, if y'all you front on
Speaker 1: me like this, nigga, I'm coming for your kids cause
Speaker 1: you better vote for me or else. And anybody with
Speaker 1: the two brain cells would say, you know, after you
Speaker 1: get the job, you know you gotta work with these people, right,
Speaker 1: and you done threaten their kids? Y'all not really gangs.
Speaker 1: This ain't an actual set. These are your colleagues. You
Speaker 1: gotta go to work, Kobe. Then't you see what they
Speaker 1: did to the last dude. You can't be serious, bro,
Speaker 1: Like you need the sharpest tool and the shed out
Speaker 1: this mug. You out here, you and the shed looking
Speaker 1: like a spoon, nigga, Like that's just that's that's not
Speaker 1: as that's not the move. Brother. Now these are the people.
Speaker 1: And then finally you got Mike Johnson. I'm gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Mike Johnson in the second. But I heard this
Speaker 1: quote also from the show Political gap Fest, and it's
Speaker 1: a quote from Lauren Michaels. That's a dude who runs
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live, right, and he say, we don't go
Speaker 1: on because we're ready. We go on because it's eleven thirty.
Speaker 1: We don't go on because we're ready, go on because
Speaker 1: it's eleven thirty. Now, what he's saying is with Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Live, it's like we start because it's time to start,
Speaker 1: or not here we go. So the question would be,
Speaker 1: fam if y'all not ready, like you got all these
Speaker 1: no names, you feel me? If Drake is sick, nigga,
Speaker 1: if Beyonce can't come, you don't just pick a Rando
Speaker 1: out the crowd, cuz you gotta you need somebody like
Speaker 1: if listen, if Beyonce can't come, you better have Mariah
Speaker 1: carry or Whitney Houston in the back. Don't bring Tata.
Speaker 1: That's a whole other crowd. I mean, we love Tata,
Speaker 1: but not in front of the Bayhive. Nigga, you understand
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You need to pull. You better have
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama back there somewhere, Nigga, you have better have
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama, Oprah, Mariah Carey, like, you need somebody that
Speaker 1: could actually fill these shoes. But if you ain't got nobody, like,
Speaker 1: you can't just throw Randos out there. That's kind of
Speaker 1: what happened. You just threw some Randos out right now.
Speaker 1: I'm saying Rando's being funny because all these people are
Speaker 1: elected officials. People we have voted for them. They have
Speaker 1: actual positions in actual power. So I mean, I'm being
Speaker 1: funny about it, but I mean he's like these dudes
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, they got a little weight. But
Speaker 1: the question is are you are you favorite rappers favorite rapper?
Speaker 1: Ask the question and if you not, this may not
Speaker 1: be the job for you. Now. Who is Mike Johnson? Well,
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson was a huge, huge, huge proponent of all
Speaker 1: the dominion machine election fraud. He big on that. You
Speaker 1: remember all that about Hugo Chavez being a part of
Speaker 1: the dominion machines. He the reason why the death don't work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Mike Johnson. He down with all that, he with
Speaker 1: all that full whole last creationist as in the earth
Speaker 1: was made in seven days, you know, and it's six
Speaker 1: thousand years old, and I know whole seminary deans that
Speaker 1: are like that is not at all what the Bible says,
Speaker 1: nigga like so so that is a very particular view
Speaker 1: of scripture. Right. But anyway, led the fight to stop
Speaker 1: the twenty two in the election, was super big on
Speaker 1: the stop to steal. So basically, you know, he, I mean,
Speaker 1: he all in Trump's arm pit, which if you know
Speaker 1: anything about the direction of the Republican Party. Is that
Speaker 1: that's really all that matters. Right. Trump can't elect, but
Speaker 1: he can destroy. I think that's a very interesting position,
Speaker 1: is that he can't put nobody on, but he can
Speaker 1: definitely stop people from being put on. He could be like,
Speaker 1: not that fool, not that fool, not that fool. I
Speaker 1: like that fool, right if and he could get that
Speaker 1: fool on. Basically he could remove. He can't implant, right,
Speaker 1: So but in this particular situation, this really works for Trump,
Speaker 1: because that's why I'm saying, like, maybe a rando I
Speaker 1: said earlier, maybe a rando might be the move if
Speaker 1: it's the right rando, because gets what this was the
Speaker 1: man that wasn't going to confirm the twenty twenty election,
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House wasn't going to confirm the election.
Speaker 1: So if you're fin a run again, who the hell
Speaker 1: you think you would want in charge of the next election,
Speaker 1: somebody that's willing to ride for you despite all evidence otherwise.
Speaker 1: Kind of like his position about Israel. The man said,
Speaker 1: full stop, I support Israel and all things so despite
Speaker 1: any evidence otherwise, despite all evidence of ethnic cleansing, apartheid,
Speaker 1: that they're doing right now, I ride for Israel, So like, okay,
Speaker 1: blanket blanket support. Of course that's to do if you trump.
Speaker 1: Of course that's the dude you want in position. And
Speaker 1: of course you want somebody with know U searchable history, right,
Speaker 1: you can't like, I mean, what receipt you got on
Speaker 1: the dude, like, don't nobody know who he is? So
Speaker 1: you can't call him on some hit because don't nobody
Speaker 1: know who he is except for the little bit that
Speaker 1: we do know. Now, that's what's good about being unknown,
Speaker 1: is like, well, don't nobody don't nobody know? There was
Speaker 1: a press conference which I thought was so hilarious, which
Speaker 1: speaks to the just wet behind the ear situation that
Speaker 1: I was talking about before. This man has no media
Speaker 1: training and it's this job gonna eat him alive. Is
Speaker 1: in this press conference it is super hilarious because they
Speaker 1: asked him about blocking the twenty twenty certification. Right, it
Speaker 1: was like, what, I mean, what's up with that? And
Speaker 1: then you saw Steve Scalise like the og behind him,
Speaker 1: going like, hey man, just listen, man, just move on.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about policy. And the guy was like, you know,
Speaker 1: let's talk about policy. And then the interviewer was like okay, words.
Speaker 1: So then he asked him about like funding Israel, like
Speaker 1: so are you super down the fundriels like you're you're
Speaker 1: you're all in on that. And then this boy goes,
Speaker 1: what I want to talk about policy right now? Like
Speaker 1: I just like, nigga, you just said you okay, fam
Speaker 1: you it you lighten the booty, g like you're not ready,
Speaker 1: You're really not ready for this job. Hm. But lastly,
Speaker 1: I think I want to make this point. That's so
Speaker 1: that's what I mean by like the hood stuff of
Speaker 1: like there there is a benefit of being a nobody
Speaker 1: is that I can your ALGs can now train you
Speaker 1: as to how to talk while you on the position one,
Speaker 1: your ogs can do everything they want to do. They
Speaker 1: can make you do what they want because you don't
Speaker 1: know because you don't know what you're doing anyway. And
Speaker 1: then there's no history, like there's no there's there's you
Speaker 1: have no hard drives to hide because there's there's no
Speaker 1: videos to pull up, like it's no there's there's nothing there. Right,
Speaker 1: you can't get canceled because no one knows who you are.
Speaker 1: So it's like, bro, who is this? So there's a
Speaker 1: benefit to being a nobody. Now. Lastly, I think there's
Speaker 1: an important point to be made which I think dovetails
Speaker 1: into this episode. I keep teasing, I keep teasing because
Speaker 1: I just ain't recorded yet. But the reality is this
Speaker 1: the the Mitt Romney, even the Reagan, Oliver North, the
Speaker 1: George Bush, Dick Cheney, Cole and Powell version of the
Speaker 1: Republicans that people would call, you know, they even freaking
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan if you will, as as recent as that, hell,
Speaker 1: the Mitch McConnell's listen, the Republican Party as we know
Speaker 1: it is dead. It's gone. It's not it's it just
Speaker 1: doesn't There is no it doesn't exist anymore. And this
Speaker 1: moment is proof because I mean Mike Johnson is I
Speaker 1: mean he full magnet like. So this idea of these
Speaker 1: old heads thinking that there are still true school, true
Speaker 1: Conservatives in the party and it's worth saving and we
Speaker 1: need to stand up and keep be the keepers of
Speaker 1: the flame. I mean, you know they are. You're basically
Speaker 1: the dudes in their mom's basement talking about real rock
Speaker 1: and roll, Like you're the Leonard skinnerd fans, You're the
Speaker 1: you're the ACDC motorhead fans that are just like, this
Speaker 1: is real rock guys, it's gone. Okay, it's gone. You
Speaker 1: it's it's not. This is not where we are. Listen.
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of it. I've had to embrace where hip
Speaker 1: hop is has gone, because y'all, it's it's different now.
Speaker 1: You just you have to look at the charts and
Speaker 1: you just have to tell the truth hip hop as
Speaker 1: you remember it. Everybody that's like these nineties heads, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, golden age of hip hop. Okay, listen,
Speaker 1: that's all nostalgic. Okay, it's not. These ain't where the
Speaker 1: charts are now. Listen. We could still love our music.
Speaker 1: We still make our music. I still go look it.
Speaker 1: Wu Tang and Nas just just just had a show
Speaker 1: and it was I didn't get to go. But I
Speaker 1: tell you what, boy, I was looking at everybody's tick
Speaker 1: to everybody's videos about that because I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: that would have been amazing. Dog. If hieroglyphics was coming
Speaker 1: into LA. So's a mischief in them. I know you
Speaker 1: like bro who, but if they were coming, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: gonna look at my wife sitting at the desk right
Speaker 1: here and be like baby, can I leave on Tuesday?
Speaker 1: I gotta go see Hiro Common, the actor. When I
Speaker 1: tell you was my favorite rapper, you would be like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what exactly?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the dude and never have I ever Yeah him,
Speaker 2: Chicago legend rapper. Yeah, the dude that does the the
Speaker 2: AI and voiceovers for those commercials.
Speaker 1: That dude. Times have changed. It's and I really think
Speaker 1: at this point it's just listen, Republicans, Yo, the streets
Speaker 1: is dead. What you thought the Republican is, Republican Party
Speaker 1: is is gone. Here's your evidence that man, Donald J.
Speaker 1: Trump has stolen your part. Nigga. He runs your streets
Speaker 1: and even after he gone, the remnants. But it's gonna
Speaker 1: take a while because you not you not who you
Speaker 1: think you are, you who we all know you are.
Speaker 1: You are what we've been trying to tell y'all. Y'all
Speaker 1: y'all are gonna become. And you know how I know this,
Speaker 1: And I say this because I feel like in my
Speaker 1: life I have similar regrets. I've learned similar lessons in
Speaker 1: my own life about things, but in reverse, like what
Speaker 1: I mean by in reverses. There were things that I
Speaker 1: should have apologized for immediately. There were things that I
Speaker 1: wish I would have got checked on the second they happened.
Speaker 1: But sometimes when you let stuff slide. Now this I'm
Speaker 1: getting hood on you really like when you let stuff slide,
Speaker 1: it grows into where we are. Now. What I'm trying
Speaker 1: to say is this, the Conservative Party should have slapped
Speaker 1: the shit out of Maga like the second y'all saw it.
Speaker 1: Y'all's be like, nah dead that because at this point
Speaker 1: it's too late. The fact that that man got through
Speaker 1: two impeachments like January sixth, I'm telling you it wouldn't
Speaker 1: have happened. Remember when I told you listen, the first
Speaker 1: episode I did on iHeartMedia after I did the introdution
Speaker 1: of myself was shut the fuck up, you ain't gonna
Speaker 1: do shit, And the premise of it was this, if
Speaker 1: y'all don't do shit, it's gonna keep happening. So I
Speaker 1: said that about January sixth. If nobody really take no
Speaker 1: ail from this, if nobody really loses, oh it's over, homie,
Speaker 1: It's gonna keep coming. You learn that when you little light,
Speaker 1: lightweight little kid like I did, A lightweight little kid,
Speaker 1: you know this, a little black kid in his Mexican
Speaker 1: hood you know what I'm saying, that big oldcholo boy,
Speaker 1: if I let him take my lunch today, even if
Speaker 1: I lose, I can't let this man take my lunch today.
Speaker 1: I can't let him chase me home today. If he
Speaker 1: chased me home today, I'm running home for the rest
Speaker 1: of the year. And I don't want to run home
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. You need to know
Speaker 1: immediately that like, I'm not the one find somebody else.
Speaker 1: And even again, even if he beats the brakes off me,
Speaker 1: that man knows we dealt with this now. So when
Speaker 1: you have something like that that's like just earth shattering
Speaker 1: as to what you think your party is, you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta shut that shit down because because now it's
Speaker 1: too late. It's too late now the cement has settled.
Speaker 1: And the fact that y'all elected old Mike Johnson, your
Speaker 1: last hope was McCarthy. I hate to say this, that
Speaker 1: was your last Oh but look y'all punked him to oblivion.
Speaker 1: And who punked him to the oblivion? Them same folks
Speaker 1: that you should have shut down a long time ago.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure ten
Speaker 1: years we goad to say five years two years we
Speaker 1: had the same conversation about the Democrats, Like, y'all should
Speaker 1: have shut that down a long time ago. You ain't
Speaker 1: shut it down. That's where you are now. I'm a parent.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep the metaphor. I'm a parent. There's some stuff, yo.
Speaker 1: You we gotta stop this now. It gonna be a
Speaker 1: problem later boy. Either way, Welcome to the worst job
Speaker 1: ever in government, mister Johnson. I hope you're working on
Speaker 1: your ris the politics. Hey, quick correction, I was reading
Speaker 1: from Al Jazeera, not from Associated Press, My bad. Just
