Speaker 1: This moment is inevitable at some point at a barbecue
Speaker 1: or if you're not in l a cookout, I don't know,
Speaker 1: a cottagas side of you know what I'm saying, sitting
Speaker 1: around and somebody start roasting somebody and then the pylon
Speaker 1: session happens. You know, I mean, food's got jokes, and
Speaker 1: I mean it's funny, everybody laughing and having a good time,
Speaker 1: and the jokes like you know, if you're from person
Speaker 1: of color, most I think I could say this for
Speaker 1: most most pocs, like the okay, I can speak for
Speaker 1: my family and the black people I know. Let me
Speaker 1: let me not jump out jump out of pocket. Here,
Speaker 1: we are merciless, like we roast our kids. Everyone, No
Speaker 1: one is safe. The jokes flow right, and they flow hard,
Speaker 1: and sometimes they are hard because they be true. Like
Speaker 1: the stuff you're saying about your little brother, the stuff
Speaker 1: the stuff your cousins is and everybody is saying about
Speaker 1: your about your the stuff be true right and and
Speaker 1: and merciless, and it's hilarious and everybody got jokes. And
Speaker 1: then maybe you're the guest here and you decided to
Speaker 1: participate in the jokes, and all of a sudden, a
Speaker 1: smile stopped. Everybody look over at you, like what and
Speaker 1: and you might just be like, yo, I just said
Speaker 1: the same joke this fool said. You should know what
Speaker 1: just happened right now. If you don't know, every I
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Every president of color listening
Speaker 1: to this story right now knows exactly what happened. And
Speaker 1: it's and it's this hold up. You don't get to
Speaker 1: say these jokes. You not wait, not time out now.
Speaker 1: Even if it's true you like, you don't, you ain't
Speaker 1: got the right, you know, homie, you don't know. You
Speaker 1: don't get to say these jokes. You'd have messed up. Dog.
Speaker 1: You should have kept your mouth shutting just enjoyed the
Speaker 1: show because you're not. You don't have the right to
Speaker 1: talk about the homie like that. I'm gonna talk about
Speaker 1: dragon rights on this one so that we can understand
Speaker 1: the Supreme court hood politics, y'all, man, listen, Okay, I like,
Speaker 1: I think we need this back up a little bit
Speaker 1: and let me give y'all some some civics lessons here.
Speaker 1: But to help you understand, let's think of it like this. Okay,
Speaker 1: Let's just say you've got the most annoying little brother
Speaker 1: in the world. You know what I'm saying, And like
Speaker 1: you just want to suck a little homie every time
Speaker 1: you see him, get all your nerves and and and
Speaker 1: you got jokes every time you're around, just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta hate this fool. And then you just happened
Speaker 1: to witness somebody at school talking about your little brother
Speaker 1: threatening to beat him up and stuff like that, Like
Speaker 1: what what, What's what's going on right now? You already
Speaker 1: know the answer. Hey, honey, you don't get to only
Speaker 1: I can make fun of my little brother. You ain't
Speaker 1: got the right to make fun of I beat the
Speaker 1: breaks off you, you say, And so the merit of
Speaker 1: what the veracity of what this person is saying doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You ain't got the right to talk about my little
Speaker 1: brother right now, So follow me. It's about who has
Speaker 1: the right to say what to who, and who gets
Speaker 1: to enforce that. You. You're the big brother, You're the
Speaker 1: big sister. You're you, that's your that's your little brother,
Speaker 1: that's your little sister. This is the authority that has
Speaker 1: been delegated to you by being the eldest sibling. That's
Speaker 1: just how it works. I'm not telling you is right
Speaker 1: or wrong. That's just you know what I'm saying. And uh,
Speaker 1: because it's your job at the end of the day
Speaker 1: to protect your little brother, to protect your little sister,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And like, even I don't
Speaker 1: care how annoying they A don't care. I'm gonna say Now,
Speaker 1: granted there's a I would like to say that there
Speaker 1: is an expiration date on that for some situations because sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe your little brother making some decisions that
Speaker 1: you like, look, man, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: letting you on your own bread, Like I didn't try
Speaker 1: to warn you, you feel me. Um, I'm always had
Speaker 1: your back, I'm always love you, you you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I can't protect you from every fade sometimes, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Sometimes you gotta catch that fade.
Speaker 1: But something inside you feel like, but wait, man, like
Speaker 1: this this person don't have a right to give your
Speaker 1: little brother faith, you know what I'm saying. So the
Speaker 1: arbitration and delegation of that it falls on your shoulders. Now,
Speaker 1: let's just say your little brother deserved it. Let's just
Speaker 1: say he was mouthing off at the wrong person. You know,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and that person got looked.
Speaker 1: The playground rules states that yellow brother should catch a faith.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe those are the rules. Now here's here's your
Speaker 1: situation as as a sibling. Your situation as a sibling
Speaker 1: is like, there's a there's a legal precedence that's going
Speaker 1: on here. Because yes, the rule states that if your
Speaker 1: little brother says, you know, bla blah whoop the whoop
Speaker 1: he posted, get the brakes beat off. But there's a
Speaker 1: law that's takes precedence over that, which is I have
Speaker 1: to defend my little brother. I have to defend my
Speaker 1: little that there's that law supersede yours. And even if
Speaker 1: he's wrong, we're not even arguing the merriage as to
Speaker 1: whether he was right or wrong. That ain't got nothing
Speaker 1: to do with it. In a matter of fact, most
Speaker 1: of the time, something not even most times. But sometimes
Speaker 1: you may have watched the whole thing and you was
Speaker 1: just like, nah, man, like you actually wrong. But we'll
Speaker 1: did with that when we get home. But that ain't
Speaker 1: got nothing to do with what's happening right now. What
Speaker 1: we are arguing right now is does this other person
Speaker 1: have a right to throw faith? That's the question, do
Speaker 1: you have the authority to throw faith right now to
Speaker 1: this person? Or do I have the authority to say, nah, fam,
Speaker 1: you don't get to throw I throw a faith. That's
Speaker 1: my job, not yours. And if you want to, and
Speaker 1: if you need and if you've got a problem with that,
Speaker 1: then me and you could throw hands because there's now
Speaker 1: another law. There's another law that now is uh coming
Speaker 1: into play here. So now now we need a system
Speaker 1: of checks and balances. Two figure out whose law are
Speaker 1: we supposed to follow right now? Who like who gets
Speaker 1: to say what? What? How? How this is supposed to run?
Speaker 1: Let's run it back again. Your little brother mouthed off.
Speaker 1: You saw the whole thing, and your little brother mouthed
Speaker 1: off on things that's grounds for a faith. But you
Speaker 1: saw that in the law states that you have the
Speaker 1: authority over who gets to throw fades at your little
Speaker 1: brother or not right. But the person that's ready to
Speaker 1: throw the fade to your little brother that you're defending
Speaker 1: is now like, wait, hold up, why do you get
Speaker 1: to stop this nigked from catch in this face? Who
Speaker 1: says you get to do that? And it's like, well, foo,
Speaker 1: I do So look this we need to figure out
Speaker 1: who has the authority to say what? And that is
Speaker 1: the job of the Supreme Court. I mean the O
Speaker 1: G s ah, you see what you see what I'm
Speaker 1: doing here? You guys catch it, you guys catch it.
Speaker 1: I want to talked about procedural stuff as to like
Speaker 1: what exactly the Supreme Court does. So right now, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure mad to laying some sort of dope little
Speaker 1: track right now that I don't here because he does
Speaker 1: that in post. But again, shout out Matt, that fool dope. Yeah, alright, cool,
Speaker 1: Now y'all enjoyed that. I hope you got some bars
Speaker 1: off you feel me? Um? I can take you all
Speaker 1: back to like fifth six seventh grade, right you're you
Speaker 1: you remember the remember the things system of checks and balances?
Speaker 1: This is if you America elementary school, Like when the
Speaker 1: indoctrination of how you know our system of government is
Speaker 1: so much better than everybody else's, that our little nose
Speaker 1: is so sweeter and cuter than everyone else's little nose. Right,
Speaker 1: A lot of times I like to think of it
Speaker 1: like our democracy is like the first iPhone. We're like
Speaker 1: an OS one democracy first iPhone, you know, but refuses
Speaker 1: to upgrade itself, like we still got the little round
Speaker 1: button on the bottom. Do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like okay, or we're like the zooon, Like you know,
Speaker 1: before the MP three players were everywhere. You feel, He's like, well, no,
Speaker 1: I got an MP three player. It's like, well, dude,
Speaker 1: like people have made better ones. You know, you gotta
Speaker 1: upgrade your system. Sometimes it's just like you can't just
Speaker 1: keep sitting on this, this this breakthrough of technology that
Speaker 1: now everybody has caught up on. Essentially, this is the
Speaker 1: future of tesla. Yeah okay, yeah, you had you had
Speaker 1: a full electric car. You know, you have to. You
Speaker 1: have to, Maria, But you're not gonna be the only
Speaker 1: electric car. People gonna make better cards than yours. You
Speaker 1: just it's inevitable. You know, we said, well they're building online. Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: well then catch yours up. You know, so essentially around
Speaker 1: that time, you know, we created this system of checks
Speaker 1: and balances. Now history, why did we do that? Well,
Speaker 1: you gotta remember where we came from. Just like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, in all of your relationships, a lot of
Speaker 1: the habit you picked up as to how you treat
Speaker 1: your little boot thing usually is either a because of
Speaker 1: your last relationship or because of your parents. A lot
Speaker 1: of the way that your parent is because of your parents,
Speaker 1: you feel me. A matter of fact, my wife just
Speaker 1: walked in. What's up, doctor doing? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: She's gonna work on her desk right now. You didn't
Speaker 1: hear that because it was so low, but she said
Speaker 1: a anyway, she got a book coming out to so
Speaker 1: shout out that. It's called Chingana Discovering your Inner Badass.
Speaker 1: I didn't do that on your desk, your daughter didn't.
Speaker 1: You guys don't see that, but there is sharpie marker
Speaker 1: all over her desk. Anyway. Parenting, um, so, speaking of
Speaker 1: parenting your parents, in a lot the ways based on
Speaker 1: the way your parents was parented and the way they
Speaker 1: parented you. Right, you're bringing that in there. So even
Speaker 1: whether it's for your for the good or for the
Speaker 1: for better or for worse, oftentimes that's the way that
Speaker 1: stuff came from. It's the same when you develop in
Speaker 1: a country. A lot of the stuff that we came
Speaker 1: up with, as the United States was be informed, was
Speaker 1: in reaction to where we came from, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So when you think about this big old
Speaker 1: thing like the separation of church and state. Why, well,
Speaker 1: that's because nigg has had trauma. The separation of the
Speaker 1: church and state was because well, just know a little
Speaker 1: bit about European history. You know when how a lot
Speaker 1: of times people would get in power in government, they
Speaker 1: would use church to sort of like reinforce their power
Speaker 1: almost to make themselves feel more like a godlike figure,
Speaker 1: you feel me, So you would have a state church,
Speaker 1: right like Anglicans, like you know, Orthodox whatever. They would
Speaker 1: do these things, and it would be a way as
Speaker 1: to bolster and to solidify because once you tie hello,
Speaker 1: God and country together, you feel me, then uh, you
Speaker 1: can kind of get away with whatever you want to
Speaker 1: get away with. So we was like, well, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say we I meant the Founding Fathers because you know,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't include it in that. But American when we
Speaker 1: was forming the country was like, you know, we gotta
Speaker 1: do away with all this stuff because that mug like
Speaker 1: it only becomes a problem. So we need to make
Speaker 1: sure that you know, you cannot make a state sponsored
Speaker 1: church because that stuff only causes problems. Right. That was
Speaker 1: one of the things that they was doing. Another thing
Speaker 1: that they did was what we said by having three
Speaker 1: branches of government. But that's because again you're coming from
Speaker 1: a monarchy, you know what I'm saying. They were singing
Speaker 1: to Kanye saying, no one man should have all that power.
Speaker 1: Clocks chicken. That just because I missed the old Kanye anyway,
Speaker 1: but lead to old Kanye. It was a lot like
Speaker 1: to do Kanye. Barently, if you follow the story, he
Speaker 1: just had as his mother as a rudder. But that's
Speaker 1: a whole other situation. Rest in peace of mont Duke's
Speaker 1: big Danda, you know what I'm saying. Anyway, let me
Speaker 1: not talk about Kanye. I don't even know that man.
Speaker 1: But the idea was this was this is in reaction
Speaker 1: from what they came from, and they was able to
Speaker 1: critique where they came from and was like, we don't
Speaker 1: want to repeat the same sort of structural mistakes that
Speaker 1: we came from, so they set up these ups. That's
Speaker 1: why nobody wanted a president for a while. That's why
Speaker 1: they was like, look, man, like we don't need a
Speaker 1: centralized power because that always they don't know president, because
Speaker 1: it's like I don't want you to start thinking like
Speaker 1: you're king. You feel me? It was like that stuff
Speaker 1: is a problem. You know what I'm saying. When you
Speaker 1: when you solidify power like that, uh and consolidated into
Speaker 1: one place, it only begets problems. So they set up
Speaker 1: a system. The way that they set up so the
Speaker 1: way that we did ours take you back to your
Speaker 1: seventh grade is your three branches of government, which was
Speaker 1: supposed to be the idea of this power ish is share.
Speaker 1: So every O G got an O G. But it's
Speaker 1: not linear, it's circular. Follow me right, Well, you get
Speaker 1: to call the shot, but I get to say whether
Speaker 1: that shot is callable. And then and then once you
Speaker 1: call that shot and I say that shot is callable,
Speaker 1: we all get to say, Okay, I have the right
Speaker 1: to say, nah, homie, I don't think that that shot
Speaker 1: should be executed, so I get to veto it. Right.
Speaker 1: So I'm using all these terms to help you understand.
Speaker 1: So you know, executive, legislative, judicial, that's your congress. This
Speaker 1: should be reviewed. That's your congress, that's yours, that's your
Speaker 1: courts right, and that's your executive right. The president and
Speaker 1: what old Trump he didn't understand I'm the president, is
Speaker 1: that like it's not linear, big homy, like there are
Speaker 1: checks on your power, right, and of course, if you
Speaker 1: know the system, system works, if you work the system,
Speaker 1: there are ways to either get that stuff so gummed
Speaker 1: up and so confused, or to make sure you're putting
Speaker 1: weights and levies in each of these things so that
Speaker 1: you can bend the rules to your favor. But the
Speaker 1: way that it was set up was so that one
Speaker 1: group isn't able to control the whole situation. There's always
Speaker 1: everybody to make it look a little violent, you know,
Speaker 1: in the movies when the bad guys and the good
Speaker 1: guys all walk into some sort of like warehouse where
Speaker 1: like things going back, and everybody pulls out guns, and
Speaker 1: then it's like this like scene where the badass dude
Speaker 1: has two guns, you know, and he's pointed it at
Speaker 1: this guy and that that guy, and they're pointing guns
Speaker 1: back at him, and they're having this just like the standoff,
Speaker 1: to where it's like everybody got a gun pointed at
Speaker 1: everybody's head and you gotta decide which one of y'all
Speaker 1: gonna put the gun down. And then in a strange
Speaker 1: twist of faith, one of the guys takes the gun
Speaker 1: off the other guy and points it at you. Because
Speaker 1: turns out, oh god, double cross, he's actually working for
Speaker 1: the other dude. Right, So that's that's our government situation.
Speaker 1: And how you convince one guy to take the other
Speaker 1: guy's gun off his head is you gotta put a
Speaker 1: person in place. And this is how our system works.
Speaker 1: How you put a guy in place? Oh, well, will
Speaker 1: we elect? We elect our judges. You do what we've
Speaker 1: been doing, what the Republican has been doing this all
Speaker 1: the time. You making sure you got your homies on
Speaker 1: that part of the thing, since you don't have the
Speaker 1: authority to do with the Supreme Court. Do if it's
Speaker 1: your boy in there, if that's your girl in there,
Speaker 1: that go, oh you're a favorite because you put him
Speaker 1: on and you're good. If you're the Congress, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If you you legislative, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Then, like you make sure you know my
Speaker 1: scratch your back, you scratch mind with the president. You
Speaker 1: feel me like you're getting good with the president because
Speaker 1: you've got stuff you gotta take care of. So you
Speaker 1: make sure the president know that, like, hey, homie, like, look,
Speaker 1: we're gonna shut out everything you try to do unless
Speaker 1: you hand over this situation for us. So you there
Speaker 1: is these these levers, these flexes of power. Hearing this
Speaker 1: in an attempt to even though this thing is supposed
Speaker 1: to balance right, sometimes you want to sway things your way.
Speaker 1: It's the way things are the other way. It's way
Speaker 1: things the other way. And everybody's pulling in and and
Speaker 1: and and pushing to try to gain a little leverage
Speaker 1: on each other to get what you want done. Now,
Speaker 1: when we use the term balance, I think that's actually
Speaker 1: like a really good picture for you, a balance of power.
Speaker 1: Like what does what does balancing look like? Balancing look
Speaker 1: like constantly adjusting? Right when you're looking at somebody walking
Speaker 1: a tight rope, I get For the love of me,
Speaker 1: I had no idea what that big old pole was for.
Speaker 1: I was like that looked like that just added so
Speaker 1: much difficulty to have to walk across the tight rope
Speaker 1: connected to a dog on uh high rise building. Like
Speaker 1: why in the hell do you want to hold something
Speaker 1: that heavy? Well, you know why. It's because it helps
Speaker 1: you maintain balance. And I just I I don't get it.
Speaker 1: But what is maintaining balance? It's constantly adjusting. Man. People
Speaker 1: ask me, like you know of all the stuff that
Speaker 1: I do between the rap poetry, the podcasts and you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying the coffee, Like, how do how
Speaker 1: do I keep balanced? It's like, why don't I'm always adjusting,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You're always you know, evaluating,
Speaker 1: looking at things this, you know, just adjusting. And in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, that's what the government does. It's
Speaker 1: adjusting all the time, you feel me. Now, obviously these
Speaker 1: are adjusting based on the whims of money, of lobbyists,
Speaker 1: of agendas, of all kinds of different things that can
Speaker 1: like be very sinister, be very selfish. But that's but
Speaker 1: essentially that's what's happening. But now now that we say that,
Speaker 1: one of those balances of power, which at least in
Speaker 1: our modern era has become in a lot of ways
Speaker 1: way off culter and has been the part of the
Speaker 1: scale that everybody wants the thumb on, and it's the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, because somehow or another, the Supreme Court has
Speaker 1: become the ultimate ogs. And when they're standoffs between the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court and the executive branch, what we just learned
Speaker 1: is that if you play your cards right, the executive
Speaker 1: is gonna lose. Let's take a break all right, we're
Speaker 1: back though. Well you're back though. Um, So we look
Speaker 1: at these last crop of Supreme Court decisions, the ones,
Speaker 1: the big ones that everybody knows, and even some of
Speaker 1: the ones that were a little low key, some of
Speaker 1: the deep cut ones that like you'd have to be
Speaker 1: an absolute nerd like myself to be even interested in
Speaker 1: and to understand their implications. Here's what I need you
Speaker 1: to understand about that again, going back to the situation
Speaker 1: where somebody was going to drag your little brother. If
Speaker 1: you look at these cases, and this is where us
Speaker 1: in the in the in the public sphere are kind
Speaker 1: of like missing the point here. It's that the court
Speaker 1: is not even arguing the merits of what they're talking
Speaker 1: about when they release their decisions or when they release
Speaker 1: their writings as far as like they're they're you know,
Speaker 1: when they when they release their descent or like the
Speaker 1: you know, the paper to Justice Thomas released where he
Speaker 1: actually talked about his opinion, the opinion and even the rulings.
Speaker 1: They're not even talking about whether abortion is good or bad.
Speaker 1: They're even talking about that that's our discussion, whether a
Speaker 1: woman should have the right to an abortion. They're not
Speaker 1: even talking about according to the paperwork they're talking about
Speaker 1: who gets to decide those rights? Who has the right
Speaker 1: to say, does the executive branch have the power to
Speaker 1: make that call? Do you? Or do the states? And
Speaker 1: do I have a right to tell the states what
Speaker 1: to do? So it's like, it's not so much whether
Speaker 1: your little brother is dumb or not, it's you don't
Speaker 1: get to call him dumb? Or wait? Do I have
Speaker 1: the right to defend him even though he did something stupid?
Speaker 1: Do you have the right to get mad at me
Speaker 1: for defending my brother if I did something stupid? Now,
Speaker 1: do you have the right to squad with me and
Speaker 1: my little brother? And if we have this brawl, which
Speaker 1: one of us broke the rules? So the Supreme Court's
Speaker 1: job is to not say, nah, hey, your little brother yo,
Speaker 1: he mouthed off. No, he's saying, no, wait, you the
Speaker 1: the law that has precedents according to the last time
Speaker 1: were on this park. That's why I used that precedence,
Speaker 1: because that's what the court does too. What did we
Speaker 1: say last time? And some judges, oh jeez, would say,
Speaker 1: what the hell last time you got to do with it?
Speaker 1: This is what's happening right now. Others are saying, well,
Speaker 1: that's all we got to stand on, because let's just
Speaker 1: say to let's let's carry the metaphor further. You could
Speaker 1: pull out a playground rule book and say, look, look
Speaker 1: the rules clearly say but if that rule book was
Speaker 1: written in nineteen two. Make it even further, This rule
Speaker 1: book was was written in seventeen seventy six, and you
Speaker 1: on a basketball court and basketball wasn't even invented yet
Speaker 1: when you wrote it the basketball park rules, Then what
Speaker 1: the hell I'm referring to? Then it ain't got nothing
Speaker 1: to say. It's my job to figure out what it
Speaker 1: might have meant. That's the Supreme Court, due it's got
Speaker 1: to look at stuff that probably wasn't there and figure
Speaker 1: out what it might think about based on what was there.
Speaker 1: That's precedence. That's why I like, it's really hard to
Speaker 1: become a supreme court. And that's why they'd be grilling them.
Speaker 1: And that's why you be wanting people that's gonna look
Speaker 1: at this thing in the way that if you're a politician,
Speaker 1: if you're trying to wait this uh, this this power,
Speaker 1: you want people that's gonna look at it the way
Speaker 1: you look at it, so that like if you are
Speaker 1: the big brother protecting your little brother, you like, uh,
Speaker 1: I feel like I shouldn't have to fight this dude
Speaker 1: over this. It should be real simple. You should understand
Speaker 1: that that's my little brother there, and you should respect
Speaker 1: me enough to not talk about my little brother like that?
Speaker 1: Ain't that right? Judge Pooky? Right? And the other dude
Speaker 1: should be like, wait, hold up, you heard what this
Speaker 1: man said? Oh my, oh my, oh god, hold me
Speaker 1: like that's a fade, Ain't that right? Judge? Do look right?
Speaker 1: And a little brother saying hey, man, like I don't
Speaker 1: even think what I did was that bad? Ain't that right?
Speaker 1: Stunna deuce you feel me? Like? So we just you
Speaker 1: all want a dude, Oh there, let's go look at
Speaker 1: it the way you hope they look at it. Now,
Speaker 1: let me give you the actual examples of what happened.
Speaker 1: So it go like this, so like Congress passes whatever
Speaker 1: law right, and then the law is essentially this. It's
Speaker 1: like yo, uh, such and such whatever BLA department over
Speaker 1: the executive a branch needs to go do this, I mean,
Speaker 1: and that's and that's the law. Right. It's not as
Speaker 1: like oh you can't cross this street, you know, what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's like, it's it's more when you at
Speaker 1: this level, it's more like who got the right to
Speaker 1: do what? Again? Do you got the right to drag
Speaker 1: my brother? Is the question? So osha f d A
Speaker 1: E p A. You know what I'm saying, Like you
Speaker 1: know these these y'all know these are I'm asking you
Speaker 1: like you can answer me. But yeah, the the f
Speaker 1: d A right, which is you know it's our Food
Speaker 1: and Drug Administration e p A, that's the Environmental Protection Agency,
Speaker 1: that's the one that uh Win uh Rick Perry was
Speaker 1: running for president, didn't even know what that did, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And then he was gonna be
Speaker 1: the He's gonna get put in charge of it. The
Speaker 1: point I'm making is like they're saying, is like when
Speaker 1: it comes to like environmental laws, like hey, we think
Speaker 1: we want to keep carbon emissions down to you know
Speaker 1: what the law saying is like, so e p A,
Speaker 1: you go make sure that everybody's staying up on it.
Speaker 1: You got we're giving you the right to do that.
Speaker 1: And then the Executive Branch Office that f d A,
Speaker 1: that O p P, whatever that thing is. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, goes and does the thing. The Supreme
Speaker 1: Court looks at that, and this is what happens, and
Speaker 1: they go wait, wait wait wait wait wait wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold up.
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be able to do that
Speaker 1: that you're not hold on, honey, you don't get to
Speaker 1: tell these people how much oil they can put in
Speaker 1: their car. I don't think you got the right to
Speaker 1: do that. And then we're going but like, yo, uh
Speaker 1: that but that where the planets dying. Don't you think
Speaker 1: we should do that? Like, I'm not even talking about
Speaker 1: whether the planets dying or not. I'm talking about whether
Speaker 1: you should be able to tell us about it. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about my little brother dumb or not.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, dude, you got the right to say it.
Speaker 1: So this would already happen. So a couple of months back,
Speaker 1: was trying to the CDC was trying to do like
Speaker 1: some red elation on some power plants about how much
Speaker 1: like nuclear waste they're doing. Supreme Court was like, nah,
Speaker 1: I don't think you got the right to tell people
Speaker 1: that CDC had eviction moratory. Remember that when it was like, yo,
Speaker 1: you can't evict people because of COVID man, that's kind
Speaker 1: of crazy. The CDC said that Supreme Court was like, Nah, Homi,
Speaker 1: you don't get to call that. That ain't your job, niggi,
Speaker 1: you don't get to say that. Oshan tried to do
Speaker 1: a vaccine man date, Supreme Court was like, Hey, Nick,
Speaker 1: that's not your place. You don't get to say that
Speaker 1: should you have a vaccine. That ain't even the point.
Speaker 1: My point is it ain't your place. And finally, Roe v. Wade,
Speaker 1: they're not even talking about They're not even talking about abortion.
Speaker 1: They're talking about does the paper from seventeen seventy six
Speaker 1: say you have a right to it? And do the
Speaker 1: federal government got the right to tell the states what
Speaker 1: to do about it? That's that's that's all they're arguing.
Speaker 1: Now Here's here's where you get crazy. Obviously, these positions,
Speaker 1: these decisions as to who got the right to say that,
Speaker 1: those are that's a matter of opinion. None of that
Speaker 1: stuff is. It ain't written down nowhere because half of
Speaker 1: these departments didn't exist when the stuff was written down.
Speaker 1: So how you even come to that conclusion by putting
Speaker 1: your homies on the courts, by making sure those yo,
Speaker 1: big homies decide these things. So the so the levels
Speaker 1: of power. So while we're arguing over like, yo, is
Speaker 1: this right or wrong, how they can wease or out
Speaker 1: of any of them conversations as being like, that's not
Speaker 1: even what we're talking about. Your little brother still ain't
Speaker 1: being checked and we all agreed he actually wrong, but
Speaker 1: we're not even talking about whether your little brother wrong.
Speaker 1: And your little brother might need to catch some hands,
Speaker 1: but ain't nobody talking about that. That's not even the point.
Speaker 1: So one of the slickiest ways if you're a politician,
Speaker 1: how you play everybody is to be like, listen, we're
Speaker 1: not even talking about what you're talking about. Brother. Hey, listen, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not even whatever. It's not even about being about
Speaker 1: pro that's not even about women's rights. Man, it's not
Speaker 1: even about it's not even about it. Bro, Like we're listen, listen, listen,
Speaker 1: no big deal. This is just legal jargon. Nobody's taking
Speaker 1: your rights, yo. How slick slick right? Oh man, Yo,
Speaker 1: you gotta keep your head in the game here, homie.
Speaker 1: Really understand how they're playing this. You gotta know the
Speaker 1: rules now if you're gonna take the sinister attitude out
Speaker 1: of it and just actually use like like leave cool jargon. Now.
Speaker 1: I pulled this from researcher on Axios these phrases because
Speaker 1: I ain't like, i'net real with you, I ain't never
Speaker 1: heard of these things that to do a little googling. Um,
Speaker 1: but you know your boy always cites his sources, so um,
Speaker 1: here's how they think about here's how your algy thinks.
Speaker 1: I remember I told you earlier the LG is like,
Speaker 1: all right, well, what did we do last time? Or
Speaker 1: what did the homies say at the other park, or
Speaker 1: what the hell difference doesn't make last time? None of
Speaker 1: this was even existed when the papers was written. So
Speaker 1: there's terms. There's actual terms for these ways of thinking.
Speaker 1: One of these ways is it's called seven chevron deference.
Speaker 1: And that's when basically like the courts are like, well, look,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I'm gonna defer to
Speaker 1: you because you're the expert. You feel me like where
Speaker 1: it's like we don't really know I don't really know
Speaker 1: his work, so uh, y'all tell me what y'all need,
Speaker 1: which I think in a lot of ways that's the
Speaker 1: way I work about a lot of stuff. I'm like,
Speaker 1: look at me, I don't know that wory you you
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about, then you talk about it.
Speaker 1: Then the other one is called the Major Questions Doctrine,
Speaker 1: which is like essentially like okay, look, if you're just
Speaker 1: doing regular, regular law type stuff, it's like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it's no big deal. But if you're gonna do something
Speaker 1: super huge, that's like like like tap in with me
Speaker 1: when you're talking about the big stuff, and that law
Speaker 1: better be very clear. Dog. You can't just be like,
Speaker 1: you can't just be out here really nearly doing big
Speaker 1: stuff that's gonna like change everybody. You gotta tap in first,
Speaker 1: Like that's a major thing. That's the Major Questions Doctrine.
Speaker 1: And then the last one it's called the non Delegation Doctrine.
Speaker 1: And this is like the most in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: it's the most extreme. And I feel like, now I
Speaker 1: just got this is is my opinion. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: like one of them laws that like they're good on paper,
Speaker 1: but it's just not practical. Now. What it's saying is
Speaker 1: this is it's like, okay, it goes back to us
Speaker 1: like originalists way of looking at the Constitution. It's basically
Speaker 1: like this, if the Constitution say explicitly Congress has the
Speaker 1: right to do something or the job to do some
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, it cannot delegate that action
Speaker 1: or that job to anybody else like you. You are
Speaker 1: not allowed because the Congress say that's yes, not It's
Speaker 1: like you ain't got again, you ain't got the right
Speaker 1: to do that. That's not your place. I'm giving you authority,
Speaker 1: the paperwork gave you authority to do this thing, and
Speaker 1: you don't get to pass. And what if the Congress
Speaker 1: is like, okay, well I'm using my authority to say
Speaker 1: I need them foods to handle this. You mean they're
Speaker 1: like now, because that's your job. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Imagine your mama coming in and being like, uh, at
Speaker 1: your job to do the dishes, and then you turn
Speaker 1: your little sister and be like, okay, I'm using my
Speaker 1: authority to have my little brother do the dishes. And
Speaker 1: then the mom say, no, you ain't got the right
Speaker 1: to that's not your You can't tell your little brother
Speaker 1: to do the dishes. And like, Mama, you put me
Speaker 1: in charge. You put me in charge of the dishes, right,
Speaker 1: you need them done. They're gonna be done. It's like, homie,
Speaker 1: it's not your place to tell your little brother whether
Speaker 1: to do the dishes or not. And if and if
Speaker 1: it runs that way, then as you know, like the
Speaker 1: government gonna look well different because like I said, this
Speaker 1: look good on paper, and we have not been functioning
Speaker 1: this way for I don't know how long. What it
Speaker 1: essentially does is like yo, it kind of takes the
Speaker 1: thumb off the president, the executive branch and kind of
Speaker 1: like you know, the Supreme Court got some weight, ohn't no, man,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying again, we are rarely arguing the merits.
Speaker 1: That's why I really want you to come away with this.
Speaker 1: Most times nobody really arguing the marriage as to whether
Speaker 1: what the law is is fair or not. That's what
Speaker 1: we're doing on Twitter. What they're doing is saying, uh,
Speaker 1: who get to actually make that call? And when you
Speaker 1: and if you notice again, that almost exonerates you from
Speaker 1: having to have an actual opinion. And I would say
Speaker 1: even the soul because it's like it's when you're looking
Speaker 1: at somebody and they talking all this stuff and you're like, yo,
Speaker 1: like are you serious? Like look at me? Dog? Like
Speaker 1: you notice is crazy? And they like I mean, it's
Speaker 1: whether it is or not. Don't it don't it don't matter.
Speaker 1: Just like Clarence Thomas is writing where he was like
Speaker 1: when we was all saying like, yo, we need to
Speaker 1: do something about these mass shootings. Man like me some
Speaker 1: sort of laws around these things. He's like, Look, I
Speaker 1: don't care if we got a hundred mass shootings. What
Speaker 1: you want me to sound? O care we got a
Speaker 1: hundred a day. I can't take away your Second Amendment, right,
Speaker 1: that's what the papers say. It sounds cold because it is.
Speaker 1: But look here, all they're saying is I know my
Speaker 1: little brother might be dumb. You just don't get to
Speaker 1: call them dumb. That's just how I work out here politics. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's here. Thing was recorded by Me Propaganda and East
Speaker 1: Low Spoil Heights, Los Angeles, California. This smug was mixed, edited, mastered,
Speaker 1: and scored by at Ososki. I can totally say his name, guys,
Speaker 1: it was it was a stick. He's going by Matt
Speaker 1: now again because he got into legal situations with the
Speaker 1: name Headlights. Y'all know, common used to be called common sense.
Speaker 1: You know, tip t I was tipped sometimes it happens.
