Speaker 1: Cool Media.
Speaker 2: So the Homegirl Jamie Loftus has a show coming out
Speaker 2: on cool Zone about like fifteen minutes. Like it's about
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes of fame, Like when people who were just
Speaker 2: like internet famous for a little bit. It's crazy how
Speaker 2: much these people like in It's like the digital version
Speaker 2: of like one hit wonders. How these people just like
Speaker 2: really capture our hearts and minds for a while and
Speaker 2: then they disappear. It's like you forget how much joy
Speaker 2: they brought us.
Speaker 3: Y'all.
Speaker 2: Remember the Octomom, the lady that had the octuplets. You
Speaker 2: know she ended up doing poorn a little later. You know,
Speaker 2: you gotta do what you gotta do. That fame hits
Speaker 2: you real fast, and then you don't know what you're
Speaker 2: gonna do. Apparently, they say, I haven't verified this, but
Speaker 2: Rachel Doizel remember her that was trans black?
Speaker 3: Yeah said that was like not as.
Speaker 2: In like trans is in transgender, but as in like
Speaker 2: she just she declared herself black. Apparently she are only
Speaker 2: fans like that that was. That's I mean, it may
Speaker 2: not be true. I just I saw that came across
Speaker 2: my ex. Now forgive me if I'm spreading false media,
Speaker 2: But you remember her, like do you?
Speaker 3: Y'all?
Speaker 2: Like these people be such cultural touchstones and sometimes you
Speaker 2: got to take a second to appreciate just the gift
Speaker 2: that they were. I have to remind y'all about the
Speaker 2: end of twenty twenty three George Santos, Like so much
Speaker 2: has happened since there, but you remember that, like he
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three ended with such a gift, and I
Speaker 2: like you just somebody so about it? So about they
Speaker 2: lie that The reason I bring him up is because
Speaker 2: you got to replace his c.
Speaker 3: And that just happened. But before we talk about replacing
Speaker 3: the seat, can we just remember, can we just remember
Speaker 3: the gift he gave us?
Speaker 2: Have you ever met anybody so ratchet, so hood so
Speaker 2: about that life that like, at some point you just
Speaker 2: have to be like, you know what, I respect it.
Speaker 2: Who just listen, you know what, God get your money?
Speaker 3: You feel me?
Speaker 2: You ever heard somebody just so married today lie that
Speaker 2: you like, you know what? At some point you even
Speaker 2: kind of turning your head up, like, wait, am I
Speaker 2: maybe I have tripp They just so dedicated to the
Speaker 2: lie that you like, look, if you.
Speaker 3: Have children, it's probably.
Speaker 2: One of the most joyous occasions is when your child
Speaker 2: is so married to the life that it's it becomes entertaining.
Speaker 2: Like you think these are like silly movie tropes where
Speaker 2: you know, a kid got crumbs and frosted all over
Speaker 2: their face and you like, hey, did you did you
Speaker 2: take some of that cake? They can't be like, no, word,
Speaker 2: what's that? What's on your what's all that crumbs on

Speaker 3: on your fingers, Like baby, did you take the cake?
Speaker 2: No? No, I didn't, Daddy, No, I didn't take the cake.
Speaker 2: It be so funny that you just be like, Okay,
Speaker 2: well then we're gonna tell me what happened, and it's
Speaker 2: more funny to just let them keep talking. Eventually that
Speaker 2: person grows up, it becomes Shaggy.
Speaker 3: It wasn't me, you guys.
Speaker 2: I need to tell you about the most one of
Speaker 2: the most seminal like uh American reggae songs from an
Speaker 2: artist named Shaggy who gave us one of the greatest,
Speaker 2: one of the greatest, like yeah, I would say club hits,
Speaker 2: and it's still one of the funnest songs that we
Speaker 2: could play and it I'm just gonna go ahead, read
Speaker 2: these lyrics to you. It says, and I quote, honey
Speaker 2: came in and she caught me red handed creeping with
Speaker 2: the girl next door.
Speaker 3: Picture this.
Speaker 2: We were both butt naked banging on the bedroom floor.
Speaker 2: How could I forget that I had given her an
Speaker 2: extra key? And this time she was standing there, never
Speaker 2: took her eyes off me. Y'all ever thought about these
Speaker 2: actual lyrics? Okay, let me cut you to the chorus
Speaker 2: was are but she caught me on the counter.
Speaker 3: It wasn't me.
Speaker 2: Saw me banging on the sofa, It wasn't me. Even
Speaker 2: had her in the shower, it wasn't me. She caught
Speaker 2: me on camera. It wasn't me. She saw the marks
Speaker 2: on my shoulder, It wasn't me. Heard the words that
Speaker 2: I told her, It wasn't me. Heard the scream get louder.
Speaker 2: It wasn't me. She stayed until it was over. This
Speaker 2: gotta be George Santos's favorite song. Look, it turns out
Speaker 2: he ratchet his hell ratchet as we thought he was
Speaker 2: that he might be a real lass nigga. Like, turns
Speaker 2: out George Santo's a real nigga politics.
Speaker 4: Y'all, Okay, y'all, chill chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill.
Speaker 3: This is.
Speaker 2: Historic moment, really a joke we all needed, Like I
Speaker 2: think we all needed this lab and this man is
Speaker 2: big mad and I think his big madness is part
Speaker 2: of what makes it so funny. Cause you gotta look,
Speaker 2: never break character, y'all. This cafe about this muck. So
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about George Santos, former Republican senator from
Speaker 2: Long Island. He was actually removed with the fifth person
Speaker 2: in sixth person in American history to be removed.
Speaker 4: And the.
Speaker 2: First three nigga they was they was part of the confederacy.
Speaker 2: They get like, that's the funny part, Like the lad
Speaker 2: somebody did this is when they try to they tried
Speaker 2: to seceed from the country.
Speaker 3: My nigga and the other two were actually convicted of christs.
Speaker 2: They was like, George Santo's is so ratchet, this is
Speaker 2: so detrimental to our movement.
Speaker 3: And we was like, you gotta go.
Speaker 2: And this nigga defense is like, oh oh, now we
Speaker 2: care about our morals.
Speaker 5: Oh oh oh, oh oh, now nobody want to lie
Speaker 5: on their resume. Oh now, okay, just now that George
Speaker 5: Santos does it now it's a problem. No, No, y'all
Speaker 5: all look, y'all all hypocrites.
Speaker 3: No, you keep that same energy for your Oh what's
Speaker 3: the problem when I do it?
Speaker 2: But before we get into his real niggadness, I was right,
Speaker 2: this is the joy we needed. I look, yes, I'm
Speaker 2: laughing at him because hey, because you knew, like bruh,
Speaker 2: ain't no way, you ain't no.
Speaker 3: But before we get into that.
Speaker 2: On some other news, it's like this, okay, future prop here.
Speaker 3: I actually recorded this section last.
Speaker 2: Year, like at the end of last year, when what
Speaker 2: I'm about to talk about was a current event.
Speaker 3: It's not current at all anymore.
Speaker 2: But since so much has happened, like this episode kept
Speaker 2: getting pushed back, so it's been updated now, especially because
Speaker 2: there's been a special election in Long Island about George Santos,
Speaker 2: which is why I was like, at first I was
Speaker 2: going to scrap this episode, but now since he's back
Speaker 2: in business, we could talk about him. But anyway, this
Speaker 2: next section, pretend like this is December. You got to
Speaker 2: be following this young thug case. He young the facing
Speaker 2: the same type charges President Trump facing.
Speaker 3: He faced a Rico case.
Speaker 2: This nigga lawyer. I tell you set up there with
Speaker 2: a straight face and to the jury that thug just
Speaker 2: standing for truly.
Speaker 3: Humble under God.
Speaker 2: Oh my lord, thugg or pay that man double because
Speaker 2: that's hilarious.
Speaker 3: You trying to tell me nobody and let her know
Speaker 3: what the thug is.
Speaker 2: I'm crying, truly humble under God, Oh Lord, truly humble
Speaker 2: under God.
Speaker 3: We're not bloods. We just covered in the blood of Jesus. Match.
Speaker 1: You have to play some music right now. I can't
Speaker 1: you talk, Oh Lord, oh Lord.
Speaker 2: All right, y'all, we're back talking about mister Boombastic, mister
Speaker 2: George Santos himself. Boombastic is another song from Shaggy. Some
Speaker 2: of y'all may only know it wasn't me, but his
Speaker 2: other single was They called me mister Boomboster the frontstic
Speaker 2: written the rock, so that's why I called him George Santos. Okay,
Speaker 2: mister Boombastic. Sorry, club real ones was last night. So
Speaker 2: my voice is a little, uh, a little funny right now.
Speaker 3: If you don't care, I don't care.
Speaker 2: So you guys ever grow up with any like just
Speaker 2: just a finesse, lord, not lord finesse. That's a legendary
Speaker 2: rapper in DJ, like just somebody who knew how to finesse.
Speaker 2: They way in and out of everything. I had a
Speaker 2: homeboy who never paid for like music festivals that he
Speaker 2: went to. He just finessed his way in. And how
Speaker 2: he did it was he just got a bunch of
Speaker 2: like you know, those like lanyard credentials, so he'd just
Speaker 2: have a gang of them. He would put just as
Speaker 2: many as he can on his thing. Some say media,
Speaker 2: some say this, Some say press and a really nice
Speaker 2: camera and he would go up to the to the
Speaker 2: door or the entrance like in a frenzy with like
Speaker 2: a bunch of camera, all disheveled and be like media.
Speaker 2: He would just say media. They'd be like what, he
Speaker 2: goes media? Where's the media? Where's the press? And then
Speaker 2: they would be like, when do you have a pass.
Speaker 2: He'd be like, I don't know, it's one of these media.
Speaker 2: Well it's one of these I don't know, where's the media.
Speaker 3: I'm late.
Speaker 2: They'd be like it's that and he would just get
Speaker 2: in like that, it's just finesse. And I guess I
Speaker 2: can look at that and say never pay. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, don't hate to play eight the game. On
Speaker 2: one hand, you know, festivals always lose money, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, It's not like they cost so much
Speaker 2: to put on. And on the other hand, it's like, well,
Speaker 2: it's not like you're paying all these artists. Well you're
Speaker 2: really one person really gets paid as the headliner, you know.
Speaker 2: Everybody else is like, you know, struggle bus with it.
Speaker 2: But maybe dudes like him, or why the tickets cost
Speaker 2: so much, you know, or I don't know. The point
Speaker 2: is you can look at it a couple of ways,
Speaker 2: like you're cheating the system and it's frustrating, or you
Speaker 2: could be like the system sucks anyway, it's up to you.
Speaker 3: Either way.
Speaker 2: He finesses his way in and it's a great finesse.
Speaker 2: And this is where I have landed with George Santo.
Speaker 2: At first it was just funny. Then it was like, man,
Speaker 2: someth'ing wrong with that dude. And then it was like, wait,
Speaker 2: are you hitting a lick? And then it was like,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like, not like I have any
Speaker 2: loss towards the Republican Party, you feel me? And finally
Speaker 2: it was just like all right, bro, the hats off,
Speaker 2: because for real, something really wrong with you you need
Speaker 2: to get his milf because but at the same time,
Speaker 2: nigga full of respect. I mean, if you're gonna hustle somebody,
Speaker 2: hustle him, you feel me like, I mean, I guess
Speaker 2: get your money, you know, at the cost of the
Speaker 2: American democracy.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: I don't know either way. So if you don't know,
Speaker 2: now you know, or maybe you don't. That's just a
Speaker 2: biggie reference. If you don't know, now you know, don't
Speaker 2: you say it? So for recap, George Santos was elected
Speaker 2: a Republican Senator in Long Island, which is generally a
Speaker 2: blue area A meaning it's generally Democrats. So for him
Speaker 2: to be able to flip it was like a big
Speaker 2: deal and the Republican Party was like, yo, we just
Speaker 2: checked off all of our intersectionality boxes with this guy.
Speaker 2: He's Latino, he he's Jewish, he's queer, and he's wealthy.
Speaker 3: We did it. Going through his resume.
Speaker 2: His resume is deeply impressive and his backstory very inspiring.
Speaker 2: Just turns out everything about his backstory and resume was
Speaker 2: a lie amazing and even a line about stuff that
Speaker 2: you ain't even really need to lie about. We did
Speaker 2: an episode on him called, no, she go to another school.
Speaker 2: It's a running joke back, you know when we was
Speaker 2: at high school, like if somebody talk about that a
Speaker 2: girlfriend and a girlfriend went to a different high school. No,
Speaker 2: she just don't go here, she go to another school. Nigga,
Speaker 2: you don't have a girlfriend. And it's fine, It's okay,
Speaker 2: you don't have a girlfriend. My favorite of all the
Speaker 2: finesss was when they called him on the like, yo,
Speaker 2: are you are you Jewish? And he was like, well,
Speaker 2: know what I was saying was, you know, my dad
Speaker 2: was Catholic, and then on my mom's side we were
Speaker 2: like fifty percent Catholic, and then kind of like jew Ish,
Speaker 2: not like Jewish, we were like jew Ish, like kind
Speaker 2: of jew and and like that is commendable because when
Speaker 2: we was kids and you accidentally said god, damn it,
Speaker 2: your grandma looked at you. You say, I said kot, Kot.
Speaker 2: I said kt, not God, I said cot. And the
Speaker 2: man's defense was like, Okay, everyone judges up their resume.
Speaker 2: No one's completely honest on their resume. But my grandma
Speaker 2: used to say, a half truth is a full lie. Bro,
Speaker 2: you made this stuff up. Budd He won, and then
Speaker 2: the question was okay, is this shit illegal? Like, do
Speaker 2: we need to put you out? The Republicans was kind
Speaker 2: of torn because well, I mean, we do need another seat.
Speaker 2: So like we kind of like, I mean, if you
Speaker 2: vote right, you know, like behind closed doors, They're like, man,
Speaker 2: if you vote, you know the direction we need you
Speaker 2: to vote, And I mean, I guess I don't see
Speaker 2: the problem. On the other hand, I mean lying on
Speaker 2: your resume, although it's an embarrassment and it's lame, it's
Speaker 2: not a me. I guess it's not a crime. I mean, niggain,
Speaker 2: he ain't broke no law. He's just he's just a liar.
Speaker 2: We all got hustled, but he got the job. So anyway,
Speaker 2: once the reporters started reporting on what this nigga was doing,
Speaker 2: how like none of this hey y'all, I don't know
Speaker 2: if y'all know, but pretty much none of this man's
Speaker 2: backstory is true. Once that started happening and this fool
Speaker 2: already sworn in, that's when like federal investigators and the
Speaker 2: Department of Justice.
Speaker 3: Was like, okay, uh.
Speaker 2: We need to like really look into this nigga because like,
Speaker 2: if he lying like that, he also stealing like this
Speaker 2: just because you not rich. Your whole story is how
Speaker 2: you funded your own shit? You where is bread coming from?
Speaker 2: It sound to me like and this whole thing is
Speaker 2: a hustle. This man wanted in South America.
Speaker 3: This man, oh, his hobies your beat? Why live by
Speaker 3: stuff that don't matter?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Why'd you lying about this? My man said he was
Speaker 2: on a championship volleyball team. Boy, I tell you why,
Speaker 2: why did you need to say that? Did you think
Speaker 2: they wouldn't go?
Speaker 3: Check?
Speaker 2: So anyway, so a federal investigation just kicks off. And
Speaker 2: then in March, the House Ethics Committee starts doing an
Speaker 2: investigation because they look like herbs, which shows you again
Speaker 2: the lesson in confident. And then in May the DOJ
Speaker 2: charges in with like felonies, my nigga, Like, uh, you
Speaker 2: a homie, this ain't just a hustle, niggie.
Speaker 3: Felonies.
Speaker 2: Overall, he ended up having twenty three indictments federal.
Speaker 3: Of course, he played not guilty because it wasn't me.
Speaker 3: Oh man, he the r Kelly PP tape. That's not me.
Speaker 2: Look, look sir, this is you peeing on this little girl.
Speaker 2: That's not me, nigga, Yes it it so. And for
Speaker 2: a while there he was like, listen, I've been elected
Speaker 2: to do a job.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do this job.
Speaker 2: And it looked like this man was finna actually get
Speaker 2: away with this. Just that's the crazy part, and that
Speaker 2: was the stete. They tried to expel him twice. One
Speaker 2: was led by the Democrats. It just didn't work, and
Speaker 2: it was because the Republicans was like, okay, well he
Speaker 2: hasn't actually committed, like we have to, like, you can't
Speaker 2: just be kicking people out of Congress because they laying,
Speaker 2: because or because they be lying, because we wouldn't have Congress.
Speaker 2: We know, this was particularly flagrant, and the flagrancy of
Speaker 2: it was because it made us all look bad. The
Speaker 2: Republicans were like, okay, well, let's at least finish the investigation.
Speaker 2: And you have to know, if you're a Republican, you
Speaker 2: look like a herb too. So then there was a
Speaker 2: second one from the Republicans of New York that were like, okay,
Speaker 2: this is a particular blame on us, like, y'all, how
Speaker 2: are we ever gonna be No one's ever gonna take
Speaker 2: us serious, to which I would argue you right, how
Speaker 2: the hell I alma listen to any of y'all when
Speaker 2: you let this nigget sit in your chair, that just
Speaker 2: meant none of y'all's jobs mean anything. We already had
Speaker 2: very little confidence in you, and that is this the hilarious, incredible,
Speaker 2: just hero of a man. It's gonna be hard to
Speaker 2: take any of your choices serious. I mean, you've running
Speaker 2: through speakers of the house like draws.
Speaker 3: You know. I just I don't know what y'all doing,
Speaker 3: So y'all do something, and.
Speaker 2: You're about to nominate a man with ninety one felonies,
Speaker 2: like I just, I don't know what I'm supposed to
Speaker 2: think of you. You had a chance to fix your
Speaker 2: border problem, and you got everything you wanted in that
Speaker 2: border bill. He turned it down because this man with
Speaker 2: ninety one felonies felt like.
Speaker 3: He wanted to win. I just, how how can I
Speaker 3: take y'all serious?
Speaker 2: Y'all gonna have to deal with Santos and you did
Speaker 2: now to get into some real like politiic in here engagementship.
Speaker 2: One would also scratch a noodle as to why Democrats
Speaker 2: would vote against expelling him.
Speaker 3: Here's the game. The game is, presidents.
Speaker 2: It's this sense, it's that all this was sparked because
Speaker 2: investigator because a journalist started looking into his backstory.
Speaker 3: The idea is that.
Speaker 2: Damn man, we finna hinge all of our careers on
Speaker 2: the work of a journalist is kind of like, I mean,
Speaker 2: that's low key, kind of like you set in a
Speaker 2: weird trend here, Like I'm not trying to I'm not
Speaker 2: trying to create that tiktak trend out here where like
Speaker 2: a journalist gets to bring out dirt and then niggas
Speaker 2: start losing their jobs. In their mind, they're like, of course, silly,
Speaker 2: because I mean, that's how that's why we have a
Speaker 2: free press. It's the old niggas like this accountable, it's
Speaker 2: the presidents. It's like, look, man, this investigation is not done.
Speaker 2: You know what if it turns out as false? What
Speaker 2: if the journalist has to put out a correction But
Speaker 2: at this point he didn't already put out and the
Speaker 2: people voted for him, and again he who is without
Speaker 2: seeing The point is it's the same problem that everybody
Speaker 2: had with actually impeaching Trump and then when he's done,
Speaker 2: charging him for crimes. And what's crazy about people as
Speaker 2: flagrant as mister Boombastic and Agent Orange over here is
Speaker 2: that they test the limits of the system and can
Speaker 2: be like, you ain't gonna do shit, because if you
Speaker 2: do shit to me, you actually doing shit to you.
Speaker 2: Which is the craziest part about how flagrant Trump's message
Speaker 2: is is he's like, the system's coming after me, which
Speaker 2: means they coming after you.
Speaker 3: The fortitude you.
Speaker 2: Gotta have in your heart to be like, oh, because
Speaker 2: this issue you got is yours.
Speaker 3: Fam You earned this.
Speaker 2: Why I love this show is because people who grew
Speaker 2: up the way that you and I grew up understood
Speaker 2: this already. When your cousin Jerry Junior running the house
Speaker 2: saying like, oh man, it's about to go down. It's
Speaker 2: getting active outside, bro, they coming for us. You could
Speaker 2: be sitting there at grandma house like, nigga, us take
Speaker 2: that shit outside, like, uh man, I fight for you.
Speaker 2: I mean my blood, I love you. I lick your wounds, nigga,
Speaker 2: but that shit is yours.
Speaker 3: You can have it.
Speaker 2: I'm not feeling like, nah, homie, I ain't gonna snitch
Speaker 2: when the Popo come. I'm definitely not gonna snitch. But
Speaker 2: this shit is your problem. You got it, nigga. If
Speaker 2: they come you know, nigga, if they come after me,
Speaker 2: they're coming down on the off fan.
Speaker 3: It's real easy. You flew that flag on.
Speaker 2: Clue me in this shit because you ain't include me
Speaker 2: in the spoils. When y'all shit, y'all hit that lick
Speaker 2: and ran fifty racks back. I ain't get shit you bought.
Speaker 2: You bought me some chicken, but that's your lick. So, uh,
Speaker 2: you stand on your own business talking about us. So
Speaker 2: if we had a lit mo hood folks running for office,
Speaker 2: we might out there be like, oh no, I don't know,
Speaker 2: mister Santos, I got no skeletons, I got no new friends.
Speaker 3: I can stay.
Speaker 2: I stand on my business. You know, you're making the
Speaker 2: whole hood look fraudulent. So like, I look, you need
Speaker 2: to be DP. You feel me. We DP niggas like you.
Speaker 2: And if you still not trying to like, oh nah, hoommie,
Speaker 2: then yeah, I'm gonna send you outside.
Speaker 3: Brother.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but a lot of Democrats voted against expelling
Speaker 2: him because it's like, we're not trying to have this
Speaker 2: tip for tat type situation. And that's why everybody a
Speaker 2: lot of people were scared about impeaching Trump and stuff.
Speaker 2: We're not trying to have this tip for tat situation.
Speaker 2: But if you can stand on your square, you stand
Speaker 2: on your business. You're not really worried about it anyway,
Speaker 2: because you know what it is, you a stand up person.
Speaker 2: But if it come out like, Okay, we did the
Speaker 2: investigation and it's like, I mean, bruh, she caught you
Speaker 2: in the shower, nigga, she caught you on.
Speaker 3: The bedroom floor.
Speaker 2: Pitch it is you were both bet butt naked banging
Speaker 2: on the bedroom floor. My nigga, you on your own.
Speaker 2: You gave her a key to your apartment. How could
Speaker 2: I fuck buge I had given it, asked that key?
Speaker 2: What you want me to do? Hey tell her? Hey
Speaker 2: tell her? She I ain't gonna tell her shit. You
Speaker 2: messing up all of our Look, none of us can
Speaker 2: go to a Vegas weekend now because yo. As So,
Speaker 2: the best part is the wording of the report on him.
Speaker 2: They said, this is my favorite part. They said, he
Speaker 2: sought to fraudulently, fraudulently exploit every aspect of his campaign
Speaker 2: for personal and financial profit.
Speaker 3: This whole thing was a lick, the whole thing.
Speaker 2: So the report they make actually teaches us a lot
Speaker 2: about how a hustle works and why a con or
Speaker 2: a confidence man. Why it actually works, It's because part
Speaker 2: of the persona and see, this is why folks ball out.
Speaker 2: This is why you have to present this wealth because
Speaker 2: wealth begets wealth. If you present yourself as this incredibly
Speaker 2: wealthy person, you now are in circles with people that
Speaker 2: will give give you money. So then you get to
Speaker 2: rock with these donors because the donors are like, well,
Speaker 2: dang man, this fool really know what's going on. You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So they start giving you money.
Speaker 2: So now the money they gave you is now the
Speaker 2: evidence of the wealth that you said you had. But
Speaker 2: the wealth you said you had is the money they
Speaker 2: just gave you.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 2: Now how you do that? You got to funnel it
Speaker 2: through different things. This is how the lick works. So look,
Speaker 2: so he starts off with the idea that like, Yo,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm loaning myself. I'm loaning my personal I'm putting
Speaker 2: my own personal money into this campaign. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: loan myself eighty grand That's what he said back in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Were talking about like I'm putting my own
Speaker 2: money into this con You're like, think about anythink about
Speaker 2: any lick, any TV show, that's like any movie, it's stupid.
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, I have my own money in this
Speaker 2: Like that's how real this is it? And then two
Speaker 2: years later he talking about like I don't put seven
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars my own money. I put seven hundred
Speaker 2: racks my own money in the shit. That's how much
Speaker 2: I believe in it is. But next genius, you know,
Speaker 2: you have to do a financial disclosure. Once you actually
Speaker 2: into Congress or once you or even running for the fision,
Speaker 2: you got to do a financial disclosure. And in the
Speaker 2: financial disclosure, which we all have now because this nigga's
Speaker 2: been investigated. That same year, he said he loaned himself
Speaker 2: eighty five thousand or eighty thousand dollars. The nigga only
Speaker 2: made fifty five thousand according to the thing.
Speaker 3: Now, that might be one thing.
Speaker 2: Maybe he just sometimes depending on the Texas, it'd be
Speaker 2: some stuff I don't report that, you know, snitch on me.
Speaker 2: But like sometimes I get paid merch in cash. Now,
Speaker 2: granted it ain't eighty thousand dollars. Sorry, irs, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: keep five hundred dollars. He was like, I only made
Speaker 2: fifty five thousand, and then own the same financial documents.
Speaker 2: It says what he actually did loan him loan his campaign.
Speaker 2: It was three thousand, thirty five hundred dollars. You ain't
Speaker 2: loan yourself eighty thousand dollars. You loan yourself thirty five hundred.
Speaker 2: It's hilarious. Now, why would anyone say this, Well, dug
Speaker 2: if you say on paper that you done loan yourself
Speaker 2: eighty thousand, you could pay yourself back eighty thousands.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like overdrafting your account.
Speaker 2: I feel like free money because they have paid the
Speaker 2: bill for you with money you ain't got, and then
Speaker 2: all you gotta do is just go get the get
Speaker 2: the donors to come back in, and you could just
Speaker 2: clean the stuff up later. And if you think about
Speaker 2: it, it makes sense you told the donors that you you
Speaker 2: loaned eighty thousand dollars to the thing. So no one
Speaker 2: in their right mind would think that when you're taking
Speaker 2: money from the campaign that you're just paying yourself back.
Speaker 2: That seems fair. Nobody's gonna check. And if you from
Speaker 2: the city, you know, when you get like when a
Speaker 2: homie get like a security job at a certain spot,
Speaker 2: or work at a certain clothing store, or shoe store
Speaker 2: or whatever. You just hit the lick until you get caught.
Speaker 2: We're all getting new shoes until they catch us. Nobody's
Speaker 2: checking until they do check, and it's like, ah, you
Speaker 2: know it is what it is, right. That's usually like
Speaker 2: when it's a shoplifted scheme, when it's something that simple,
Speaker 2: you just do it to you and then they fire
Speaker 2: you and it's like, oh, well, at least we got
Speaker 2: some shoes.
Speaker 3: He doing it.
Speaker 2: Though, up to seven hundred thousand dollars. And the thing
Speaker 2: is everybody knows like campaigns are expended to they're really
Speaker 2: they cost a lot. So the idea of him paying
Speaker 2: himself back, that's I get it. It's not weird if
Speaker 2: you believed his backstory. Now, one of my favorite ways
Speaker 2: that this dude moved is this thing called Redstone strategies.
Speaker 2: Just make it up. Look dude like this, it's so ratchet.
Speaker 2: So the Redstone strategies is it was supposed to be
Speaker 2: this like expenditure like strategy, like independent firm that'll help
Speaker 2: you get your bars off if you're running for office.
Speaker 2: And he was telling everybody else in the that were
Speaker 2: running for office, like, yo, this these are the folks
Speaker 2: I use. I use red Stone strategies. They helped me,
Speaker 2: you know, they placed ads help me, They helped me
Speaker 2: get elected, like it would probably help you too, and
Speaker 2: Foods was like, oh dope, okay, word, yeah, well connect
Speaker 2: me to him. I've done a similar thing when I
Speaker 2: first was trying to get on as an artist. Y'all,
Speaker 2: y'all know me as prop My birth name is Jason.
Speaker 2: You know, when I was first trying to get on,
Speaker 2: I was sending out what used to be called electronic
Speaker 2: press kits, which are just ways to like, you know,
Speaker 2: a couple songs or bio, whatever the case, maybe just
Speaker 2: trying to get bookings, trying to get shows, trying to
Speaker 2: get on radio things. And then people would inquire back
Speaker 2: like hey, yeah, we'd be interested, and I would be like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, you could contact Jason. This is the email address,
Speaker 2: or I would use my middle on AG. So I
Speaker 2: just made up an email address that wasn't the propaganda
Speaker 2: one and then had them talk to my associate Jason,
Speaker 2: and they'd be like, hey, Jason, I'm interested in prop
Speaker 2: it's me obviously, Like you understand that, Like I'm having
Speaker 2: them email me later on.
Speaker 3: We'd have a good laugh about it.
Speaker 2: You know, but I didn't want you to like think
Speaker 2: I didn't have a team so stupid. It worked though,
Speaker 2: and it also worked for Old Santo's Foods was giving
Speaker 2: him bread. He was supposed to buy ads for these
Speaker 2: campaigns and then but they didn't know it was him.
Speaker 2: So these people calling up Redstone Strategies in Florida, like yo,
Speaker 2: where our ads at? And they're like, oh, sorry, we're
Speaker 2: still trying to figure it out. Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Eventually they bring lawsuit. They like, nigga, we gave you money,
Speaker 2: you didn't render the services. That's what this report is saying.
Speaker 2: And then the report is like, oh, that's because there
Speaker 2: is no company.
Speaker 3: It's him.
Speaker 2: So he would take his own money, put it in
Speaker 2: this business, take everybody else's money, put it in this business,
Speaker 2: take the money out of that and buy money. I mean,
Speaker 2: according to the report, two hundred thousand dollars. This is
Speaker 2: where you like, oh you, oh you might be a
Speaker 2: hood legend. We might have you. I might have to
Speaker 2: invite your ass to the barbecue next. So look, they
Speaker 2: say throughout all the things, all his multiple accounts, multiple
Speaker 2: streams of income that he had that was coming in
Speaker 2: from this lick. There's no way to know. They said
Speaker 2: maybe a half a million dollars. There's no way to
Speaker 2: know how much money this nigga actually took for this
Speaker 2: account for these from his campaign. But we know what
Speaker 2: he was spending it on. And that's why I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh you you ratchet as hell. He was making trips
Speaker 2: to Atlantic City to go play Roulette, he was buying,
Speaker 2: he was buying designer He was going on shopping spreees
Speaker 2: out there, buying designer clothes. My nigga was going to
Speaker 2: spats and getting botox nigga. But my favorite part, if
Speaker 2: you ain't heard this yet, my man was spinding dough OnlyFans.
Speaker 2: And I'm not judging Listen, I am not judging the
Speaker 2: fact that he had an only fan, okay, because listen,
Speaker 2: clearly millions of people have one, and what you do
Speaker 2: on your phone is your business. What I'm judging is
Speaker 2: d he using y'all's money for it. Ain't ratchet his hell.
Speaker 2: This nigga getting bottles of Hendie, pull it up to
Speaker 2: the club, making a rain. This nigga out of here,
Speaker 2: Magic City, get.
Speaker 3: Dawn talk about it. Wasn't me, Oh my lord?
Speaker 2: So it gets so bad that he's finally like, okay, listen,
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna run for reelection. Okay, nigga, that's not
Speaker 2: admitting guilt, which I love. He like, I'm going down
Speaker 2: with the plane. I'm not admitting guilt. Then the dude
Speaker 2: once they was like, finally all of the legislative branch
Speaker 2: hit him with a come on fam. Well, they finally
Speaker 2: hit him with a come on fam That's why he
Speaker 2: was like, oh, oh, all of a sudden, it's bad
Speaker 2: when I do it. Oh, y'all all look back. Didn't
Speaker 2: nobody say nothing with he pointing that Frank over in
Speaker 2: account and like you act like you ain't got no
Speaker 2: only fans, Oh, like.
Speaker 3: You've never spit. Some can't pay money, y'all. Ain't no
Speaker 3: better caught this nigga.
Speaker 2: He was like, it wasn't me, and even if it was,
Speaker 2: don't act like you don't do it. And now he's gone,
Speaker 2: but you got to replace him. But before we talk
Speaker 2: about that, let's take a second to appreciate it. Just
Speaker 2: the gift he gave us of just being like that messy.
Speaker 2: Oh lord, oh man, just sometimes messiness is just like, thanks, guys,
Speaker 2: we appreciate it. That weighted in twenty twenty three strong.
Speaker 2: Now the new election coming up next. I we're back
Speaker 2: so Long Island. You had Tom Swazi, who was.
Speaker 3: The guy that George bet like.
Speaker 2: He was a former familiar face, a Democrat that was
Speaker 2: their representative in that area. He ran against the Republican candidate,
Speaker 2: which was get this, an Ethiopian female immigrant. It's pretty
Speaker 2: crazy name Pillops and it's crazy. As soon as I
Speaker 2: saw on the camera, I was like, how was yah?
Speaker 2: And then I look ignorantly assumed she was the Democrat.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying? But no, she ran
Speaker 2: as a Republican. Now this, no one would care about
Speaker 2: this except that this is.
Speaker 3: Flipping the House.
Speaker 2: Why they were so like we said before, why George
Speaker 2: Santos was so important, was like, we need the House
Speaker 2: to have a Republican majority, so it's super important that
Speaker 2: this was the only seat left. Why they held on
Speaker 2: to the dude after all the stuff we just talked about,
Speaker 2: was because we need they needed a Republican there. Now,
Speaker 2: Long Island a New York suburb that generally was blue,
Speaker 2: you know, kind of a centrist thing that kind of
Speaker 2: flip flopped back and forth, took a chance on a
Speaker 2: Republican because this rough Republican, like we said, checked.
Speaker 3: Every box and then they was burt.
Speaker 2: So what do we normally do when you get burt
Speaker 2: after trying something new, you go back to what you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, John Stewart's back on television. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. It's something old and comfortable. Look, nigga,
Speaker 2: did you see the people running for president right now?
Speaker 3: I mean, like that's the people. You go back to
Speaker 3: what you know you.
Speaker 2: Don't So that's kind of what happened now them politically,
Speaker 2: as far as their positions, they really especially when it
Speaker 2: come to like Israel, God, they're really not that much different,
Speaker 2: you know, the habbitshot sister, she was kind of running
Speaker 2: on the idea of being a good immigrant, you know,
Speaker 2: like I gave it the right way because most people's
Speaker 2: concern is immigration. Right, That's where everybody kind of like
Speaker 2: sweating about over there, especially in a hot, hotly debated
Speaker 2: seat like that. Right, And what your boy Tom did
Speaker 2: was essentially kind of running off the position of like
Speaker 2: you can't trust nothing out of miss Phillip's mouth, Like
Speaker 2: she's George Santo's two point. Oh, she's just gonna finesse,
Speaker 2: y'all awaited that man finessed y'all like, go with what
Speaker 2: you know. I've been riding for y'all for a while.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring back the quote unquote normal seat. Now, normally,
Speaker 2: since this is a special election, you can detangle these
Speaker 2: particular candidates from their top of the party ticket.
Speaker 3: You know, if this was.
Speaker 2: During like the November election, it's kind of hard to
Speaker 2: not connect these two people to the president candidates. Because
Speaker 2: this was a special election separate from there, and because
Speaker 2: everybody took such l's nobody likes being embarrassed in front
Speaker 2: of everybody.
Speaker 3: It was like, we need to go with the safest choice.
Speaker 2: But as the posters were doing, like I said, with
Speaker 2: the posters, you know, like I mean, if you believe polls,
Speaker 2: is it's.
Speaker 3: Really about immigration. You know, it's a big uh.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of union workers up there, and the
Speaker 2: union workers is worried about you know, immigrants coming in
Speaker 2: undercutting them and taking their jobs. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like all the regular like you know, greatest hits that
Speaker 2: you would see in an election. But the interesting thing
Speaker 2: to me is the party selection for who they ran.
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting that the Republicans went with another
Speaker 2: poc as as their lead choice because again they're not
Speaker 2: checking any of those boxes and this is still New
Speaker 2: York and it may have worked. They just figured they
Speaker 2: just had it worked the first time. It's just it
Speaker 2: was just a com man But like we kind of
Speaker 2: had the right idea, you feel me. And the Democrats
Speaker 2: they did what they always do. You just they went
Speaker 2: with what they knew. They took no risks. Now I'm
Speaker 2: saying this as if these people don't have any agency.
Speaker 2: Of course they have agency, but but I'm saying in
Speaker 2: terms of a narrative that's being shared to us, they
Speaker 2: they did what they always do.
Speaker 3: You go for what you know. But either way they did.
Speaker 2: They Democrats flipped the seat and it reminded us of
Speaker 2: the glory that was mister boom Bastard himself, ol aka
Speaker 2: George Santos.
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir for giving us this moment hood politics. Y'all.
