But listen, the first thing 230 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: is like, look, man, don't loan no money you're not 231 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: willing to give. You know that you can't afford to lose. 232 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: That's that's you on the thing. Now, if you borrowing, 233 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: you shouldn't borrow something that you can't pay back because 234 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be on your back forever. And then there's 235 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: this thing called which you're grown ups, called interest. Right, 236 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: So gives me to the point, which is like lending 237 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: money is a business, Like it's clearly right, and for 238 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: it to be a business, there has to be a 239 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: way to make money. If I loan you one hundred dollars, 240 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: if I'm a business, I give you a hundred dollars, 241 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: I loan you one hundred dollars and you just pay 242 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: me back one hundred dollars. What a stupid business plan. 243 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: I need a way to make money off this, So 244 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: I need to charge you for letting you borrow money 245 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: from me. Like this is a service I'm giving you, 246 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: and for me to stay in business, I got to 247 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: make money off this loan. 248 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 2: Right. 249 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: That's where it comes into things called predatory loans, which 250 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: is like I'm looking for you that are struggling, that 251 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: are tight right now, and I'm like, all right, you 252 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: need one hundred dollars. I got you, you know what 253 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying, but you gotta pay me back plus like 254 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: you know, fifty percent interest. Fifty percent interest is absurd, 255 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: So like that's if you paid me back the one 256 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: hundred dollars right when I gave it to you, it 257 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: would be one hundred and fifty bucks. But if it's 258 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: fifty percent interest, it's fifty percent interest per payment. So 259 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: if you borrow hundred dollars from me, and I'm like, 260 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm charging you fifty percent interest. So every time you 261 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: paid me twenty bucks, you got to remember, fifty dollars 262 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: got added to your ending balance every time, because it's 263 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: fifty percent interest. So if that's the case, if you 264 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: only paying me twenty dollars, you still haven't paid none 265 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: of the principal, right, So that means you could be 266 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: paying off that you end up paying one thousand dollars 267 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: on that one hundred dollars, right because of the way 268 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: the interest works, and because you had to maintain your 269 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: own finances. I mean, that's why it's called predatory, you 270 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: feel me. So lending is a business, and the way 271 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: to gain the system is to always make sure, okay, 272 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: don't borrow what you can't afford, to pay back and 273 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: pay back quickly, right, So for your credit cards and 274 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: stuff like that, when you just to pay back minimums, 275 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: you know that basically that means you're gonna be in 276 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: debt for the rest of your life, you feel me. 277 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: And you're gonna pay like thousands and thousands and thousands 278 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: of dollars more than and what you actually borrowed. That's 279 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: why foods, that's why you get the stuff in the 280 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: mail of like, yo, you've been approved for thirty thousand. 281 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 2: Dollars, you know what I'm saying. 282 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: It's like, nigga, you're gonna be paying hundreds of thousands 283 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: of dollars back to the like, don't ever like throw 284 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: that shit away.

This is just good money stuff. Is 287 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: like when your check, you know you, it turns out 288 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: you got more month than you do check. 289 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: You feel me. 290 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: So at the end of the last few days of 291 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: the month, when you're trying to go get gas, you 292 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: just put that on your credit card. You set yourself 293 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: up because that's money. You don't have you spending money 294 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: that's not yours.

We just need to agree 502 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 2: on you know this. 503 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: That and the third right to us as the consumer 504 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: is going, okay, so what happens if you don't pay 505 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: a bill? 506 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: What in half? The government don't get they paycheck? 507 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: Right? 508 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 2: What? Yeah, no, your niggas don't get they paychecks. 509 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: If you work for a you got a federal job, 510 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: I eat a military you just don't get your paycheck. 511 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: But well, yeah, because we defaulted on our loan, then 512 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: what you should say, let me get this straight. My 513 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: paycheck is a loan, is money you borrowed? What and 514 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: where the money you got? It seems extremely irresponsible, to 515 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: which I would say, you are absolutely correct. 516 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 2: So here's what happened. 517 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: What happened was the bill comes, right, the bill for 518 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: the US government and the Republic against pass a bill. 519 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: They're saying, listen, I'm not raising this debt ceiling, which 520 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: is like like I said, yo yo, limit yo Max, Like, 521 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna agree for you spending and paying for 522 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: all this until you agree to stop spending money in 523 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: these particular areas, right because again, like our government can't 524 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: fund Remember, the Congress holds the purse, right, So we're 525 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: not going to approve you spending this bread if which 526 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: is really not a spend, it's a payback because the 527 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: money's already spent. Right, We're not going to prove that 528 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: until you agree to stop spending money on these four 529 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: five things that we're sending two things, So you gotta 530 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: want you pass that then we'll approve this. President Biden 531 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: is like, bro, that's not a negotiation. This ain't the 532 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: bills already here, what are you talking about? We could 533 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: talk about that, but like nigga, not now you're essentially 534 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: like you're own sharking me here, and you're not even 535 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: the person I borrowed money from, like you said, like you, 536 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: this is your tripping, like this is not the time 537 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: to talk about this, to which the Republicans are like, well, 538 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: we tried to talk about it. 539 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 2: You ain't want to hear us. Then, now let's get 540 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: into the policy stuff. 541 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: The policy stuff kind of works like this, like, Okay, 542 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: how do you get out of this? Well, remember again, 543 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: the House has to approve the thing, right, and the 544 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: position of the House and the position of the White 545 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: House couldn't. 546 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: Be further apart, right, So one way out of this. Now. 547 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm writing this the day after his Mother's Day, so 548 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to be, you know, 549 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: because the you know, red line you getting evicted is 550 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: June first, and this will be out probably after that. 551 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: So I don't know what's gonna happen. But either everybody's 552 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: allowed their fiction or they both get to go on 553 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: stage and say why didn't get punked by the other party? 554 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? 555 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: And I got what we wanted because nobody really wants 556 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: to default on the loan, but also nobody wants to 557 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: look like a punk. Right, So if Biden can be like, look, dog, 558 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: I got it done. I did my wheeling and Dylon, 559 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't extorted, I wasn't strong armed. I made them 560 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: understand that this is better for the people, and I'm 561 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: down to go talk about these cuts because like, yo, 562 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: maybe you are right, maybe we are maybe we are 563 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: going crazy on these cuts. Things right, And then the 564 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: Republicans get to be like, okay, listen, we made him 565 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: come to the table. This fool understands that we not 566 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: playing right. That's what y'all sent us up up here 567 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: to do this. And they can make each other the enemy, 568 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: and they can do this whole theater, and Biden can 569 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: pretend like this ain't really about you know what I'm saying, 570 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: that spending you know, on budget cuts and approving this 571 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: are two separate things. They not, nigga, that's fiction, you 572 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: feel me. But they can both pretend like they got 573 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: what they needed or you could do this other thing, 574 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: which is essentially like this like emergency ripcord thing where 575 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: you really only need five Republicans to approve, right, And 576 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: how would you do that? Why I could get five 577 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 1: of y'all to agree if I start cutting back some 578 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: of this like COVID relief money, and I could say, yo, 579 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: I'll stop spending this. I'll agree to stop spending this 580 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: before you send me this money. And that would make 581 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: obviously the Republican base super angry because it looked like 582 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: you got punked. But they'll get over it, you know 583 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: what I mean, especially when they don't miss a check. Yeah, 584 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: you feel me. So there's these ways to do that. 585 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: And then there's this like really get into the policy 586 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: stuff with the fourteenth Amendment. And that's the part that 587 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: I was like, wait, what so what happened with the 588 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: fourteenth Amendment? It had to do with the Civil War, 589 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: right when the Confederate Army, you know, loaned out moneys 590 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: through land bills. And that's what I'm gonna start are 591 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: the Confederate government. I'm gonna start getting into like who 592 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: the government borrow money from anyway? Right in a second, 593 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: but when they started loaning our money once the once 594 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: the Civil War was over, they came back and we 595 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: came back into the Union. The government was like, you 596 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: can't collect on debts. Nigga, your shit is gone right, 597 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: Like no, nigga, no, noah, fam you don't get to 598 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: collect because your whole shit was fraudulent anyway. So they 599 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: put in here so that the Confederates can't do that 600 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: to the Union and everybody else said that you can't 601 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: just decide you're not gonna pay your bill and that 602 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: you your bill is is like fraudulent. So they put 603 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: into the fourteenth Amendments, oh, that the Confederates can't be like, well, nigga, 604 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: we not paying your money either. There's this thing where 605 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: it's like no, no, no, no, no, no no, you have 606 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: to pay. So some people are arguing even the debt 607 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: ceiling itself is unconstitutional because of the fourteenth Amendment. You 608 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: have to pay the bill, like you can't not pay 609 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: the bill. Now, that's one interpretation, you feel me. Now 610 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: here's where it gets super bonkers, right. You have this 611 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: system like this, like when we approve a budget, y'all 612 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: remember hearing all that stuff, like early on in any 613 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: presidential thing, they talk about approving the budget. What we're 614 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: gonna spend what we're gonna do this and they send 615 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: it these bills, and you got this Green the Bill, 616 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: back better Bill. You have all these things. You approve 617 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: this bill. The Congress says, boom, this is what we 618 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: want done. Right, So that's according to the law. The 619 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: president has to execute what y'all said to do, right. 620 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: But then the debt ceiling says, but you could only 621 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: do it with this amount of money, but you just 622 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: told me. So. Now the president has this mixed message. 623 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: It's like, do I either a fulfill what you told 624 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: me to do by these laws when you pass this budget, 625 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: or do I be don't do half the shit you 626 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: told me to do, or raise taxes. I don't because 627 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: how else am I gonna do what the I don't 628 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: There's no way to So it's this like it don't 629 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: make sense. In other words, Yo, Mama sends you to 630 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: the store to go buy bread a pack of cigarettes. 631 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: This is real long time ago, because you can't buy 632 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: no pack of cigarettes. But go buy bread, milk, a 633 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: pack of cigarettes, a case of cherios, and get yourself 634 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: some candy. 635 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 2: And she'd give you five dollars. 636 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: That's not enough money, mom, So either I don't buy 637 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: everything you said to buy, or I steal some of this, 638 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: or you give me more money. 639 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 2: But your mama say make it work? Like what am 640 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 2: I mom? 641 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: Like? 642 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,919 Speaker 2: What am I supposed to do here? 643 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: And the answer is I don't know, because it's not 644 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: like it's not in the Congress's power to make the 645 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 1: president break a constitutional law to do what it said 646 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: is gonna do either way. So I don't know, at 647 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: least as of today. But I want to back up 648 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: to a bigger question I had, and I was like, 649 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 1: who the hell you borrow money from? How does that 650 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: what you're telling me our taxes aren't enough, which is 651 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: where if you're gonna talk about the talking points of 652 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: the Republicans on surface, you're like, yeah, that makes perfect sense. 653 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: It's like it's not enough, nigga, do we pay you 654 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: so much? I don't understand why where your money going to? 655 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: And why don't y'all know how to manage it? 656 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 2: Right? 657 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a logical question to me, So let me, 658 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: let me, let me, let me dive into this. So, yes, 659 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: the money goes into our national treasury, right, and yeah, 660 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: part of that is our taxes, right, But our taxes 661 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,439 Speaker 1: don't cover the amount of spending we have. 662 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 2: So what the. 663 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: Department of Treasury does is it borrows money to make 664 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: up the difference between spending and revenue. 665 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 2: Now, who do they borrow from. 666 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: It gets this the public, listen, the federal They borrow 667 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: money by issuing securities, bills, notes, and bonds through the 668 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: Treasury securities and they're super attractive because they're backed by 669 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: the full faith of the US government. So if you 670 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,439 Speaker 1: go invest a little bread into the government, like y'all 671 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: run you, I'll buy this called bill or bond, which 672 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: again I can's it's enough. Money's made up, right, But 673 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: it's to make sure that there's money inside the bank. 674 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,359 Speaker 1: How does a bank crash is when everybody takes day 675 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: money out at the same time because the money's not 676 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: really there, right, it's not actual money. It's worth floating, 677 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, little beads around back and forth to pretend 678 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: like there's money there. That's how a bank crashes is 679 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: when everybody decides, nah, I think I'll take more money. 680 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: Then there's not enough to cover. 681 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 2: It, right. 682 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: So what the Feds do is they say, well, let 683 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: me loan out these bonds and be like, yo, we're 684 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: good for it. We've never defaulted on a loan. That's 685 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: that uncle when he say, I'm hold, I'm gonna hold 686 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: this till Tuesday. Don't that uncle not only give you 687 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 1: that twenty dollars back, but he give you twenty dollars 688 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: a case of corona and an extra ten for being 689 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: so cool to it? Right, So they borrow from the public. 690 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: But it's not like there's enough Americans to be able 691 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: to cover the amount of money we actually need to 692 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: run a government. 693 00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 2: So who do we borrow from? 694 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: But I tell you what, before we even asked that, 695 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 1: maybe these boomers can't answer their own follow their own 696 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: advice to say, well, you're spending so much money on 697 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: avocado toast. Maybe if you're smarter with your monkey, well 698 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,959 Speaker 1: maybe you don't need two air force ones. Maybe maybe 699 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: military weapons research doesn't need to be a trillion dollars. 700 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: I mean you, I mean you telling us maybe we 701 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: spending money on stuff that like, Okay, hold up, now, 702 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: the things I'm asking for is reasonable. I'm saying, I 703 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: look a drivable street. It seems to me seem like 704 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: that'd be more wise spending. It's all I'm saying. The 705 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: stuff you trying to cut is the stuff we kind 706 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: of need to survive. The stuff you're trying to keep 707 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: seems to me like you just protecting your own money. 708 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,399 Speaker 1: So before you start telling me you understand what I'm saying. 709 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: Before you start telling us as young folks, we can't 710 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 1: buy no house because we buying too much on avocado coats, 711 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you should understand inflation, my nigga, and maybe run 712 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: your own buddy better and follow your own advice. Now, 713 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,399 Speaker 1: who you borrow money from? This is who we borrow from. 714 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 1: Check this out. This is according to the US Government 715 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: Accountability Office, more than seventy five percent of foreign holdings 716 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: of the US tragedy can be attributed to fifteen countries. 717 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: China excluding Hong Kong and Mancheu and Japan are the 718 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: largest holdings. 719 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 2: So we borrow money from other countries. 720 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: We borrow money from people we might potentially be a 721 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: war with. So do you think it's super important maybe 722 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: that we paid this money back? So when you when 723 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: when you like, I need you to think about this 724 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: for a second. What the hell kind of system is this? 725 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: We borrow money from other countries, not only that we 726 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: borrow from ourself. 727 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 2: So when we say in the government defaulting on their loans. 728 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,479 Speaker 1: I used to think, okay, well how about this, let's 729 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: just print a trillion dollar coin, because remember, we print 730 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,720 Speaker 1: our own money. It doesn't mean this is so stupid 731 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: right here you go, we meant the money. So here 732 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: everything's cool. Well, as we know, like we talked about before, 733 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: that would cause the stock market and inflation to because 734 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: that money means nothing, right because the money is going 735 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 1: back to us. I don't I does this make sense 736 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 1: to you? It don't make sense to me either. However, 737 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: this is where we are, so in conclusion. We are 738 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: in the part of the movie where Smokey is trying 739 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: to figure out how he gonna find this money for 740 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,399 Speaker 1: Big Worm. So he asking to other people because he'd 741 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: had already smoked up all this stuff. 742 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 2: If you was supposed to sell, now he got to 743 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,240 Speaker 2: have either the weed or the money. And he running 744 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 2: around and figuring out. 745 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: So the government has said you supposed to spend this much, 746 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 1: Well I spent it, but what you asked me to 747 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: do costs more than what you gave me money for, 748 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: so now I got to approve the thing, and we 749 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: just now you're like, well, no, you were supposed to 750 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: spend money on this and not on this. Well, I 751 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: don't know what the hell to do because Japan and 752 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: China is waiting for they check, and so are the 753 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: people that hold wealth in bonds in our own country. 754 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: And then what happens is if the stock market don't 755 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: like all this, then we fall into another recession, and 756 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: then your interest rates go up. So guess who end 757 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: up paying the debt? 758 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 2: Nigga, you got it?
