Speaker 1: I'm saying, like I'm introduced at the more people like
Speaker 1: DJ Head, like my homeboy JB. Black people who are
Speaker 1: again embodying what we're trying to build with this pod
Speaker 1: man and hopefully encourage how to get involved, get involved,
Speaker 1: get involved, and stand your ground. That's a feral much
Speaker 1: song that I'm pretty sure y'all missed. But yeah, Hood
Speaker 1: politics for me started off as a side project and
Speaker 1: I was like, look, man, you know this is fun
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give it the amount of tention and
Speaker 1: energy equal to the amount of funds it generates from
Speaker 1: my home. You feel me. And once it started like
Speaker 1: generating funds, I was like, yo, I'm start giving it
Speaker 1: the gasoline, feel me. There are numerous ways to earn funds,
Speaker 1: you know, Like y'all know, I do music, I do poetry.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But I'm not prideful enough
Speaker 1: to be like, no, you're gonna rappers. It's like not
Speaker 1: a family like be an artist, black man, get your money,
Speaker 1: black man, black man, get your money. And for me,
Speaker 1: it's a long intro. But like we're in season two,
Speaker 1: I'm feeling a little reflective and it's the end of
Speaker 1: the year or for you, beginning of the year. So
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really reflective here for me. When it came
Speaker 1: to whatever lick, I was gonna here for life. For me,
Speaker 1: I was like, I refuse to not enjoy my day.
Speaker 1: I remember in school they was telling you about like, yo,
Speaker 1: you know what you go hey, if you work in
Speaker 1: this field, you can make this much money here, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, cool, but I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: That just that doesn't sound fun. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I like, I'm not motivated by you telling me how
Speaker 1: much I could earn doing this job if I don't
Speaker 1: want to do that job. So for me, I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to make my living by doing things I enjoyed.
Speaker 1: Now full disclaimer, I tend to lean towards workaholic more
Speaker 1: than I Actually I'm one of the weird ones. It
Speaker 1: like I like work. You know, that's me being an
Speaker 1: elder millennial. I guess you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: you know, you got a little bit of that X
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and a little bit of
Speaker 1: that millennial to where you coul kind of do both.
Speaker 1: You feel me where it's like, oh, I don't mind working,
Speaker 1: I don't mind long days, I don't mind doing what
Speaker 1: I gotta do to get to it. You feel me
Speaker 1: I will overwork. But at the same time, and I'm
Speaker 1: also like, you're not gonna yell at me because you
Speaker 1: know I'm saying I'm gonna have boundaries. HOLI now I listen, listen, listen,
Speaker 1: I ain't I ain't wearing nobody's uniform. And look, my
Speaker 1: day off is my day off. If I decided to work,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work, but like I ain't gonna be nobody
Speaker 1: supporting it, homie. And I was patient enough to get
Speaker 1: to at you know, It's not like my first job
Speaker 1: out the box was this. Not My first job was
Speaker 1: like dog. I worked at a party supply store. Then
Speaker 1: I worked at the mall. You feel me, And like
Speaker 1: I said, I was a teacher, you know. But what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is I'm not afraid. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying this to say that I'm afraid to work. I
Speaker 1: don't mind working, and I understand that, you know, you
Speaker 1: do what you gotta do. Anyway, that was the rule
Speaker 1: for me. It was like, what do you like, now,
Speaker 1: make it make you money? And it was that simple
Speaker 1: to me that that was the lick. There's this gentleman
Speaker 1: named John Perkins. He's man. He's probably in his nineties now.
Speaker 1: He's one of the uh Jackson, Mississippi man. He's he
Speaker 1: um like a I mean, I'm like like a like
Speaker 1: a civil rights like o G civil rights organizer o G.
Speaker 1: I remember I was speaking at a conference in Chicago,
Speaker 1: and the shuttle from the hotel to the conference center downtown.
Speaker 1: He and I just happened to be in the same
Speaker 1: like shuttle together and now like this is like an
Speaker 1: O G of O G like h you know sometimes
Speaker 1: when you could tell you in the presence of greatness.
Speaker 1: This was one of those things like do your Google's
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like John Perkins Foundation, Like
Speaker 1: I mean, like he cut from that MLK cloth because
Speaker 1: like they're like counterparts, you feel me, like they're anyway
Speaker 1: or counterparts Patriots contemporaries. That's what I'm looking for, that contemporaries.
Speaker 1: So We're in the car and he asked me what
Speaker 1: I do and at the time, Mike, I was just
Speaker 1: doing like at the event, I was just doing some poetry.
Speaker 1: So I was like, I'm doing some poetry, you know.
Speaker 1: He's like, what do you do for a living? I
Speaker 1: was like music and poetry. He was like, oh, that's great,
Speaker 1: you know. And after I'm feeling like, man, I want
Speaker 1: to tell him about my education. I'm like, man, you know,
Speaker 1: but I went to college, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, um to high school for a while, like
Speaker 1: you know, I got you know, graduate level education, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I want to tell him,
Speaker 1: like you know, but like I'm not just out here
Speaker 1: being you know, just struggle artists. And he said, and
Speaker 1: it changed my life. Like I was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: rethought everything. He was like poetry, he was like music.
Speaker 1: He goes, okay, you'll never be unemployed. I was like, oh, wait,
Speaker 1: because you talk, you know, starving artists, gonna get your education.
Speaker 1: He was like, because he comes from that. He came
Speaker 1: from Jackson, Mississippi. He comes from that, Jim Crow. So
Speaker 1: he was like, listen, you know, I'm not gonna do
Speaker 1: his accent because I just don't do it well. But
Speaker 1: he's got that old eighties black man, like as in
Speaker 1: in his eighties black man. He was just like, your education,
Speaker 1: that diploma, that degree. He was like, these people can
Speaker 1: ignore that. They could just decide they don't care how
Speaker 1: many degrees you've got. They're not gonna hire you. But
Speaker 1: if you have a skill like that, you don't need
Speaker 1: nobody to hire you. You can always work. I that's
Speaker 1: how That's what happened in my brain, that blank space
Speaker 1: right now. I was like, wait, totally talked the opposite.
Speaker 1: My whole life was like, no, get your education, because
Speaker 1: they can't take that from you. And he's like, no,
Speaker 1: they can. It's not that they can't take it from you.
Speaker 1: They can ignore it. Your skills, your talent, that's they
Speaker 1: can't ignore that. You can always go get work, you know.
Speaker 1: It's like niggd is you can't. After that, I was like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you can't tell me nothing. This my lick. This is
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. These hands like my homeboy of mercy.
Speaker 1: These hands more for these hands. You feel me like,
Speaker 1: oh we we were turning up. I'm gonna hit that lip.
Speaker 1: It's going down. There are numerous ways to earn funds.
Speaker 1: But enough about me. Uh, let's talk about these funds.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about these hustlers and hitting this lick. Part two.
Speaker 1: Y'a all ready, Hood politics alright, so listen. First time
Speaker 1: we talked about the hustle, hitting the leg hustler and
Speaker 1: the skill, that transferable skill that that hustler has, you know,
Speaker 1: to know where the money could be made and how
Speaker 1: to do it. And I think that like, as the consumer, now,
Speaker 1: let me let me let me move y'all into the
Speaker 1: right quick and it it may not even be the
Speaker 1: hood like I'm you know, obviously I used that term
Speaker 1: as an umbrella term, but I think the difference between
Speaker 1: us you know and not us. I think it's the
Speaker 1: awareness of what's going on now. When I was a
Speaker 1: child out we used to go to the garment district
Speaker 1: in downtown l A for school shopping, your school closing.
Speaker 1: We went downtown to the alley it's called the Santi
Speaker 1: Alias in the garment district or the fashion district in
Speaker 1: downtown l A. Now here's the thing. You think, we
Speaker 1: don't know that these designer closed down here ain't designer.
Speaker 1: Like I know that these T shirts that are three
Speaker 1: for ten dollars, you know, are not the actual brand.
Speaker 1: And if they are, you feel me. These are the knockoff,
Speaker 1: like the ones that are not good, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like these are the irregulars outlet shopping, you know,
Speaker 1: when you're logging into your stock X or whatever, like
Speaker 1: you know, shoe exchange. I am fully aware that I
Speaker 1: might possibly be getting a fake like I'm I'm in
Speaker 1: on it. That's the difference because I'm in on it.
Speaker 1: I know that right A lot of the jewelry sometimes
Speaker 1: these big dudes out here be flashing like, okay, it's fake.
Speaker 1: They know because when you come to l A and
Speaker 1: we snatch it, you know, I'm saying it's like, well,
Speaker 1: you only lost five thousand dollars rather than fifty dollars
Speaker 1: because the necklace was fake. You know, I don't listen
Speaker 1: the dude outside the liquor store for us. Right here,
Speaker 1: it's outside the a Little Caesar's Pizza and he post
Speaker 1: stuff right outside there with all the new movies. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know who got a DVD or Blu ray
Speaker 1: player in their house still, but if you do, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get it right there. I know that's a blue leg.
Speaker 1: You just run the risk of like maybe it's a
Speaker 1: good one, maybe it's an hour, but either way, keep
Speaker 1: making his money. I ain't ad at that. Get your money,
Speaker 1: that's your lek, you know what I'm saying, Like we
Speaker 1: have an even exchange of services. I'm getting what I wanted,
Speaker 1: but I'm getting it fully aware. I am not being deceived.
Speaker 1: That's the thing like out here, like when you know
Speaker 1: you're dealing with hustlers. Like I said in the first episode,
Speaker 1: I just need to decide what's in it for me.
Speaker 1: And if I know what's in it for me, I
Speaker 1: just get to make the calculation, like this was worth it.
Speaker 1: It's fine, but you're not fooling me. I know a hustle,
Speaker 1: what I see, I do a liquid I see what.
Speaker 1: I'm not deceived y'all the rolexes you get on the
Speaker 1: side of the see you don't know that you know
Speaker 1: their faith like we're just just it's fine. Oh listen man,
Speaker 1: not listen. Like I said, transferable skills. You think these
Speaker 1: people that be buying these really high end art pieces
Speaker 1: know they're actually worth five million dollars, they know that
Speaker 1: we're just all in on it. Or no, damn five
Speaker 1: million dollars. We just all in on it, your little
Speaker 1: n F T piece, TIMI. We're just all in on it,
Speaker 1: like they know. That's because that's how the hustle work.
Speaker 1: We already know. But as we all know, also there's
Speaker 1: a sucker born every day, somebody an easy come up.
Speaker 1: Somebody out there, like I said on the first episode,
Speaker 1: may or may not know that even in the exchange
Speaker 1: of goods and services, they may not understand that they
Speaker 1: are the good in service. And depending on how you
Speaker 1: feel about that person, sometimes it's funny. I'm sorry, Actually
Speaker 1: I'm not sorry. Sometimes it's funny because when a con
Speaker 1: artist gets coned, when a hustler gets hustled. It's a
Speaker 1: little funny, especially when the con was incredibly obvious. Here's
Speaker 1: what you gotta know about narcissists. Check this out this
Speaker 1: free game here and then we talked about this before
Speaker 1: with narcissists. A narcissist wants you to recognize their skill.
Speaker 1: They want you to recognize a real dawn when you
Speaker 1: see one you supposed to. That's a rap lyric if
Speaker 1: you don't know that, And because of that, they will
Speaker 1: almost always, if you're listening, reveal the play. They're gonna
Speaker 1: show you their cards because they too arrogant to not,
Speaker 1: because they want you to recognize they they they game.
Speaker 1: So if you just listen close enough, they will tell
Speaker 1: you what it is. You just gotta pay attention and
Speaker 1: decide again, are what's in it for you? But you
Speaker 1: gotta play them. You can't just you could call him
Speaker 1: on it, because but if you call them on it
Speaker 1: or they're gonna fight back, then it gets worse. Yo,
Speaker 1: It's it's you know then then they you know. It's
Speaker 1: like if you got children, you feel me, if you
Speaker 1: just confront something heady, you gotta finesse children. It's a
Speaker 1: boat game. You got to finesse that make the game
Speaker 1: come to you. You know what I mean? Like you
Speaker 1: could go, you know, builing a china shop with him,
Speaker 1: but you're only gonna fight. It's only gonna be a fight. Listen,
Speaker 1: I got a teenage daughter, you just have. You gotta
Speaker 1: finesse her. And it's like I'm finessing her for her
Speaker 1: own good. You feel me. She at a stage now
Speaker 1: where it's like she's gonna have to make her own decisions.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to know how to make her own decisions.
Speaker 1: But sometimes you gotta take some lumps, you understand what
Speaker 1: I mean. Look, and I can't, but I can't make
Speaker 1: her do something that you know, for us is who've
Speaker 1: lived a little bit, is really obvious. Like, no, what
Speaker 1: you're gonna do is stupid, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But you don't listen. If you met a teenager, you
Speaker 1: can't tell him that. But I also don't want them
Speaker 1: to do stupid things. You gotta finesse it, present options
Speaker 1: and then walk away with no, I told you sos.
Speaker 1: But then if they make the right decision on their own,
Speaker 1: then again you gotta finesse in them. Be like yo,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Hey, I'm glad you chose that.
Speaker 1: You chose that, and they're like, dude, thank you man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought about it, and you know, it's just I
Speaker 1: feel like I should. You know, if I would have
Speaker 1: done this, it would have been happening. Like damn, that's
Speaker 1: a good idea. And in your brain you're saying, that's
Speaker 1: exactly what I told you. But it don't matter, you know,
Speaker 1: like you gotta finesse. The finesse. That's that's the that's
Speaker 1: the name of the hustle. You know, that's that's the lick. Like,
Speaker 1: since you're not gunshooters, you know what I mean, you
Speaker 1: gotta finesse because you're being finessed. And look, I'm about
Speaker 1: to put your old game of some of the greatest
Speaker 1: finessing of money. Uh that happens every two to four years. Listen,
Speaker 1: it's these campaign contributions. Y'all been finessed. Now, let's talk
Speaker 1: if you were unlucky enough to sign up to some
Speaker 1: sort of email, uh newsletter for a political party or
Speaker 1: for a politician, if you just didn't you accidentally click
Speaker 1: to something and they got your email addressed and you've
Speaker 1: been getting unless you really into like supporting these campaigns,
Speaker 1: which you know, I'm not telling you not to do.
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. I'm just talking about the
Speaker 1: finesse here. The specific finesse I want to talk about
Speaker 1: is uh former GOP candidate herschel Walker. Y'all know how
Speaker 1: bad not only did his supporters get finessed, but he
Speaker 1: got finessed. That man got hustled so bad that listen,
Speaker 1: there's money out there to be made. Don't left. Don't
Speaker 1: ever let nobody tell you ain't no money to be made.
Speaker 1: I'm about to show you right now at a Goop
Speaker 1: just finesse, oh much money out this name. And it's
Speaker 1: if if he wasn't such a oh lord, if he
Speaker 1: wasn't such a tap dancer, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't be uh laughing as hard as I am.
Speaker 1: Let me not call that man a tap dancer. I
Speaker 1: don't know. That's that's unfair anyway. So when you get that,
Speaker 1: you know these emails, you know, requesting money. They're trying
Speaker 1: to make it as easy as possible. But here's what's
Speaker 1: crazy about these things. They tell you exactly on the
Speaker 1: page where it's going. But you ever thought about that?
Speaker 1: Where does money go. You see on the news like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: this campaign raised five million, five billion dollars. Okay, what
Speaker 1: did they spend it on your flights? Ads? What? Well?
Speaker 1: You know, volunteer staff? Hold hold up, now, you just
Speaker 1: said the staff was volunteered, So what does you will paper?
Speaker 1: You know, I was like worded it. That's that's how much.
Speaker 1: And then sometimes you know, if the party decides, like
Speaker 1: in this, like in the case of herschel Walker, that
Speaker 1: we really need this man to win because if we don't,
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose our you know, Senate majority. So that
Speaker 1: means that the whole party, you know, we got a
Speaker 1: lot of riding on this man. So that means I
Speaker 1: need everybody to raise money, you know what I'm saying
Speaker 1: to help this man's um support. Everybody pitch in man,
Speaker 1: Every little bit helps, right, Listen, Mike Lee isn't a
Speaker 1: Salt Lake tribute? Okay? Mike Lee, Borgeous Owens and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump they were all raising money for hershell Walker's uh
Speaker 1: Senate campaign and then kept half of it. There is
Speaker 1: numerous ways just learn fuzz boy. So look, if you
Speaker 1: was unlucky enough to be on this man as email lists, right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read, Uh, I'm gonna read from the Salt
Speaker 1: Lake Tribune. It would say something like this like Utah
Speaker 1: Senator Mike Lee and Representative Burgess Owens are raising money
Speaker 1: on behalf of Herschel Walker ahead of Tuesdays. This was
Speaker 1: you know, this was December five. This this article, right,
Speaker 1: you know, runoff against uh Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock warning
Speaker 1: the Georgia Republican could be the full final bulwark like
Speaker 1: I said against President Joe Biden's agenda. It is not
Speaker 1: immediately apparent to donors that half of the money they
Speaker 1: contribute will go to Walker's campaign while Lee or Owens
Speaker 1: keeps the other half. Fundraising email sent by Lee's campaign
Speaker 1: is meant to look like he's forwarding a plea from Walker,
Speaker 1: warning that the senator is raising more campaign cash. It says,
Speaker 1: quote Warnock has been drastically outraising him. We have to
Speaker 1: pick up the pace. The email from Lee, Rea needs
Speaker 1: please rush generous contribution and help finish the job in
Speaker 1: a huge win for Herschel Right. Uh so, so so
Speaker 1: this is what it is. This is what it says,
Speaker 1: right like, like this is gonna be a a huge
Speaker 1: win for her. So so so we're raising money right, and
Speaker 1: then the email recipients are sent to the donation uh
Speaker 1: website right, featuring a massive picture of Walker next to
Speaker 1: a box of suggested contributions of twenty five and then
Speaker 1: a disclaimer that he needed donations. Finally, here's a disclaimer
Speaker 1: will benefit both Lee and Walker, but does not specify
Speaker 1: how the money will be divided. And then the email
Speaker 1: from Owens touts Walker as determined to stop the democratic agenda.
Speaker 1: America needs fighters like Herschel who will stand up to
Speaker 1: the left. He's pushing back against the social list policies,
Speaker 1: running against Biden's hand pick puppets. The email reads right,
Speaker 1: so check this out. So if you click the link
Speaker 1: right click here for details or to edit your allocation,
Speaker 1: Day would not know that half of the contributions will
Speaker 1: end up in Lea's campaign account instead of the money
Speaker 1: going to Walker. And if the contributor clicks the bouncing
Speaker 1: fifty dollar suggested bonus will automatically go into lead. If
Speaker 1: someone decides to donate other than the recommended levels, that
Speaker 1: too will be split fifty fifty unless an extra step
Speaker 1: to adjust the amounts. Listen, I'm trusting you ain't gonna read,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna show you the lick. The lick is.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you I'm raising for this, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep some of it. They're gonna tell you what
Speaker 1: the lick is now, I mean, now, if you're cool
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna saying. I wonder what hurt the Walker
Speaker 1: felt about that? Like, wait, nikky, you're gonna keep too.
Speaker 1: Now it gets better. Former President Trump was raising money
Speaker 1: for for Walker's campaign, but you know how much he
Speaker 1: was keeping. My man kept ninety percent of the money
Speaker 1: raised for that. Boy. They're telling you, yo, we out
Speaker 1: here trying to stop the like, so give so so
Speaker 1: give him, I mean so give me, I mean give
Speaker 1: him some money, y'all. Listen, there's ways to make money. Boy,
Speaker 1: Oh man, don't hate the player, hate the game, because listen,
Speaker 1: data gave you the game. They'd have told you what
Speaker 1: they're doing. And if you click that thing. Listen, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a sucker born every day. You ain't have to
Speaker 1: send him that money. Walk a out here, walk out here,
Speaker 1: that desperate man, you tap dancing for these people? You
Speaker 1: know how much money they made off you, bro? Like
Speaker 1: what that's like? Listen, Now, I usually don't drop this
Speaker 1: type stuff in the middle of this. But listen, this, this,
Speaker 1: where the this, where the where the where where prop
Speaker 1: where Jason Petty come here? Where the where the black
Speaker 1: panther of sun come in? Where I'm like family. They
Speaker 1: had their hands all the way up your booty, moving
Speaker 1: your mouth, telling you what the hell to say, propping
Speaker 1: you up, having you look like just just mantain and
Speaker 1: sleep and eat out this mug and making money off
Speaker 1: your ass. Them boys was eating off you. And I'm
Speaker 1: just like, I don't understand how you ain't see that
Speaker 1: unless you were just okay with it. It looked to
Speaker 1: me like you were just a good little boy, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Dance, monkey dance, That's what it
Speaker 1: looked like to me. Now, look, I don't know these
Speaker 1: people personally. I just know. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: I didn't got out of record deals. I didn't got
Speaker 1: out of book deals. When I didn't looked at the
Speaker 1: thing and was like, wait, how much you making off me?
Speaker 1: And now at least let me decide now maybe he
Speaker 1: knew not The difference between you and me is like, okay,
Speaker 1: now listen, when I was on Sony, I knew how
Speaker 1: much they made off the records, but I turned in
Speaker 1: the record I wanted. I ain't say what they would
Speaker 1: what they want. A matter of fact, once they heard
Speaker 1: my record when I was on Sony, they cut my
Speaker 1: budget because they was like, want to sail this one.
Speaker 1: I was like, because I said what I said, but
Speaker 1: I'm out of that deal. You know I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: tap dance for none of y'all. I know the hustle,
Speaker 1: I know the lit Yeah, the the lique is intellectual property.
Speaker 1: Y'all making money off stuff you didn't create. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's the entertainment industry. The company makes money off
Speaker 1: stuff they ain't make. That's why you go independent because
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I want to make money off what
Speaker 1: I made unless I understand that I personally don't have
Speaker 1: the time, energy, or reach two get my product in
Speaker 1: the face of enough people to where that will come
Speaker 1: back to me. That's I mean, that's why you joined
Speaker 1: the major, right. I mean, let me be real, That's
Speaker 1: why I'm more. I heart, I heart has more ears,
Speaker 1: you have more eyes. I can get my product in
Speaker 1: front of more people. So I took took the pay cut,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying for it to turn around
Speaker 1: and make me more. That's what I was saying in
Speaker 1: the beginning, Like I understood, but the show I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna give you is the one that got me tap dancing.
Speaker 1: I ain't tap dancing. This think a tap dance. That
Speaker 1: boy Donald Trump kept nin of what he'd been raised,
Speaker 1: and it's like, look, sucker born every day you could
Speaker 1: have read the thing. How many y'all ever read the
Speaker 1: terms of conditions of stuff? You ain't read that ain't
Speaker 1: now all y'all put your faces into that lens of
Speaker 1: app You ain't read them terms of conditions they know,
Speaker 1: but you just decided these pictures are cool enough. You're like, okay,
Speaker 1: so facial recognition fan. My face already opens my phone.
Speaker 1: I'm not like y'all have already got my face. I
Speaker 1: might as well spend my little eight dollars to get
Speaker 1: this there, and I get it. You make you make sense.
Speaker 1: You understood the hustle. That's what I was saying. Before
Speaker 1: you understood the hustle. I understand what you're doing. You're
Speaker 1: gonna sell my face to some other AI things to
Speaker 1: train the AI. Eventually it might come back to me.
Speaker 1: But when I got to write a turn paper in
Speaker 1: college and the and the AI know how to write it,
Speaker 1: you know, be maybe I don't know. The point I'm
Speaker 1: trying to make is, bro, you gotta know when you
Speaker 1: are to lickt And I look, all this made me wonder,
Speaker 1: Like to me, I was trying to figure out, like
Speaker 1: why herschel Walker? Why him? You mean to tell me
Speaker 1: that you the only black conservative? You had this man
Speaker 1: running Georgia who clearly lived in Dallas, who clearly and
Speaker 1: obviously has had severe head trauma. That like, you you
Speaker 1: mean to tell me this was your best choice. Now
Speaker 1: it's the best lick, y'all. Gotta follow the castle. It's
Speaker 1: the best lick. Anyway, don't listen to me. What do
Speaker 1: I know? I'm just following the leg. But next after
Speaker 1: this break, I just want to talk to you all
Speaker 1: about where that money go anyway, Just you should know
Speaker 1: this stuff. Anyway. All right, I'm gonna get get off
Speaker 1: herschel back for a little bit, you know, Uh, listen
Speaker 1: to this music, Matt Mabel. All right, we're back. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pull from two places. One it's called Investopedia and
Speaker 1: the other is the actual Federal Elections Commission. It's like
Speaker 1: I mean it's a gang of money to be going
Speaker 1: through these campaigns. I know you heard the time superpack,
Speaker 1: you know, dark money. What all these different things mean.
Speaker 1: But it's like, yo, if somebody loses the election, do
Speaker 1: you like what happened all that money? You spend it all?
Speaker 1: Do they ever? Does anyone ever submit? Have you ever
Speaker 1: followed up looking for like a a profit and law statement,
Speaker 1: like a spreadsheet like send me to XL where that
Speaker 1: money go? What did I do? Or you just take
Speaker 1: a little tax refund? And you're like, I guess we cool?
Speaker 1: You know I did my best? Like how like how
Speaker 1: does any of this? How you are these people accountable
Speaker 1: for the money you then gave them? Well, here's here's
Speaker 1: what I say. It's the greatest leg in the world.
Speaker 1: Is like, don't nobody check you checked? I ain't checked.
Speaker 1: What do you chubby? What do you do with the
Speaker 1: leftover money? Was a few things. Here's the permissible uses
Speaker 1: for UH from investor PDIA from the campaign you do
Speaker 1: candidate campaign committees right, These are official committees ran by
Speaker 1: the campaign and their campaign team. The Federal Electric Committee
Speaker 1: has our commission has ruled has rules in place to
Speaker 1: control how money is spent after the candidate bows out
Speaker 1: and the election is officially over. Right, So here's some
Speaker 1: permissible uses. You donate to charities, right, as long as
Speaker 1: the candidate does not receive any compensation from the organizations
Speaker 1: before it is spent, uh, and the donation is not
Speaker 1: used by the charity to benefit the candidate. Now you
Speaker 1: want to know one of the reasons why uh, Trump
Speaker 1: is facing federal charges. You just heard it there. It
Speaker 1: is number two. A donation of a maximum of two
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to another federal candidate, right, and a donation
Speaker 1: to a state or local candidates. They're all subject by law.
Speaker 1: You could do a gift donations of a nominal value
Speaker 1: on special occasions to anyone besides the candidates family. So
Speaker 1: I could give some of that money to like as
Speaker 1: gifts to other people, as long as it's not you know,
Speaker 1: my family. But then there's unlimited transfers to local, state,
Speaker 1: national or political committees like the Democratic or Republican national community.
Speaker 1: Meaning you could just give it to the you give
Speaker 1: it to the big pot. It's almost like, you know,
Speaker 1: you run twenty racks back to the good like a
Speaker 1: lot of streets run like this too. It's like you
Speaker 1: make your money. That's cool, right, Uh, but I know
Speaker 1: with the Latino you know, with the Mexican games, you
Speaker 1: gotta run that money back to the everybody pay taxes,
Speaker 1: you gotta run the money back to the Mexican mafia.
Speaker 1: That's just how it works, you know what I'm saying. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it's in turn is supposed to benefit everyone. Like
Speaker 1: that's that's the Uh, that's the idea. Um. Or you
Speaker 1: create a leadership pack to back other candidates and a
Speaker 1: political agenda, and the critics say these can be used
Speaker 1: as slush funds. Have you heard the phrase before? Slush funds? Um?
Speaker 1: Slush funds just have much less oversight, right, Um, But
Speaker 1: here you go. A slush fund, if you don't know
Speaker 1: what that is, is a summer money that is set
Speaker 1: aside to reserve, that is kept for no particular reason
Speaker 1: or purpose. A lack of stated purpose and opacity regarding
Speaker 1: where this couns funds come from has led the slush
Speaker 1: funds as viewed negatively as a platform potentially finance elicit
Speaker 1: or unethical activities. Slush Funds have been exposed as being
Speaker 1: used to bribe or influence or high transparencies are high
Speaker 1: trains sections or to acquire non public information or other services.
Speaker 1: So a slush that's your mattress money. Slush fund is
Speaker 1: the money that's in the freezer. Okay, ain't no tracking
Speaker 1: of it, you know what I'm saying. Don't nobody know
Speaker 1: it's there. It's off the books. I don't have to
Speaker 1: explain it. It's my miscellaneous. Now. I remember when I
Speaker 1: first downloaded quick books and it was a section because
Speaker 1: I was trying to do my own papers, you know,
Speaker 1: because I didn't know how to, like, I couldn't afford
Speaker 1: having nobody else to do my taxes and nothing like that.
Speaker 1: Right when I first started being propaganda, uh professionally, and
Speaker 1: it was there was a line item there called miscellaneous
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, you mean you mean the
Speaker 1: tax man accepts miscellaneous because the rest of it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, office supplies, travel, travel meals, meals, and entertainment utilities,
Speaker 1: charitable contributions, and then one said miscellaneous. I was like,
Speaker 1: I can have him and I can claim this. I
Speaker 1: could claim miscellaneous as an expense. Yeah, well, hell, here's
Speaker 1: twenty tho dollars and miscellaneous you're I'm saying. I was like,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you what this is? Hell, yeah, how
Speaker 1: do you make this money miscellaneous? What you spend it on? Miscellaneous?
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I know that was option. So the
Speaker 1: slush fund is when you, FINNI do some shady ship.
Speaker 1: That's it, just what it seemed like, because you're just
Speaker 1: telling me, like I could raise twenty thousand, thirty thousand,
Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars of taxpayers money that they gave to me.
Speaker 1: They're getting a tax rebate for that. I ain't win.
Speaker 1: We could throw it into a pack, right, you're the
Speaker 1: third super pac Basically that's everybody pay taxes into this
Speaker 1: one pack because the party decided that this situation is
Speaker 1: more important than that situation. So we're gonna get money
Speaker 1: from this pack right to uh to make this money.
Speaker 1: But then some of that pack money going to something
Speaker 1: else called a slush fund. Like we're saying, this is
Speaker 1: the just in case ship, just in case we can't
Speaker 1: convince somebody. I can't have on the books where that
Speaker 1: dollars go. Oh, I just bribe this Uh this judge,
Speaker 1: you can't put that on your taxes because no miscellaneous,
Speaker 1: all just money from this sludge one? What do you
Speaker 1: do with where that money comes from I don't know.
Speaker 1: I had a homeboy when I was in high school,
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe I told you all this early and
Speaker 1: politics my homeboy, I'm not gonna say I was gonna
Speaker 1: say his name, but I'm glad I stopped. But he
Speaker 1: used to just always have cash on it. To this day,
Speaker 1: I have no idea wire how and it'd be big bills.
Speaker 1: The sophomores in high school. He pulling out fifty dollar
Speaker 1: bills hunting out and he didn't like. I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: you do you you sell drugs? Nick? He was like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Why you always got cash? Man't
Speaker 1: worry about it. Dog, if I tell you how to
Speaker 1: kill you, you y'all wanna talk a bell? And he
Speaker 1: was just buy us, just buy food, Like why do
Speaker 1: you always have just he just did if it was
Speaker 1: a slush fund himself. And I looked. After a while,
Speaker 1: we stopped asking, you know, I'm saying like, eventually you learned,
Speaker 1: just look, don't ask, you know what I mean, because
Speaker 1: you you really don't want to know the answer. So
Speaker 1: these but listen, slush fund legal, you can do that,
Speaker 1: totally allowed. Now what are no knows you can't use
Speaker 1: money personally like household mortgages, you know, salary payments to
Speaker 1: the candidates family, right, unless they can provide that they
Speaker 1: did a bona fide service for you know, the free
Speaker 1: like if they really really worked for you, then you
Speaker 1: can give him that money. Right. You could also do refunds,
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, I remember when Jed Bush ran he um,
Speaker 1: he was alleged to say he was gonna get back
Speaker 1: all that money because you know you ain't win, right.
Speaker 1: But the ultimate question is can they keep the money themselves?
Speaker 1: And the answer is no, you are not allowed to
Speaker 1: keep the money yourself. Contributions must be used during the
Speaker 1: campaign to pay related expenses. They are not intended for
Speaker 1: personal use, and money that is left over after a
Speaker 1: candidate drops out or once the election is over must
Speaker 1: be used to pay off debts. Funds can also be
Speaker 1: used for other purposes. For instance, a candidate may donate,
Speaker 1: like we said, to an unlimited amount of federal, state,
Speaker 1: local political UH committees, or they may be or they
Speaker 1: may refund them to donors. So it's very possible that you,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, you gave to Bernie when
Speaker 1: Bernie dropped out, went to Joe just it's just you know,
Speaker 1: you're Elizabeth Warren. Money went to Hillary. I don't know,
Speaker 1: like it's possible because I don't argue tracking your fight
Speaker 1: I was, I'm not tracking and fed us. There are
Speaker 1: numerous ways. And lastly, one thing they could do is
Speaker 1: they could just hold on to it until they run again.
Speaker 1: Uh So you just gotta put it in some sort
Speaker 1: of bank account, let us sit over there until it's
Speaker 1: time for you to run again, or you can give
Speaker 1: it to the homies. But either way, that's that's that's
Speaker 1: where your money goes. Now, when you hear people being
Speaker 1: held on trial or you know, arrested for misallocation of funds,
Speaker 1: you know, for donations for their candidacy, it's when this
Speaker 1: stuff gets murky. So if the superpack you donated to
Speaker 1: you already have a guaranteed of that money for to
Speaker 1: go back to you. The nonprofit you just contributed to
Speaker 1: is your own. You know what I'm saying. If the
Speaker 1: candidate that's getting the money that you're about to give
Speaker 1: to is essentially gonna circle that money right back to you,
Speaker 1: like that's look, you cheat either way. Listen, these fools
Speaker 1: really didn't figure out how to hit these lips and
Speaker 1: like I said, you being a conscientious consumer. It's not
Speaker 1: so much that you're being kind to hustled, because in
Speaker 1: some ways we all are the question. I just want
Speaker 1: every voter contributor to ask themselves what is in it
Speaker 1: for me? Who? Politics? Yo? Yo? This thing right here
Speaker 1: was recorded by Me Propaganda and East Low Spoil Heights,
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, California. This thing was mixed, edited, mastered, and
Speaker 1: scored by the one and only Matt Olsowski. Y'all check
Speaker 1: out this fool's music. I mean it's in executive produced
Speaker 1: by Sophie Lichterman for Cool Zone Media. Man, and thank
Speaker 1: you for everybody who continue to tap in with us.
Speaker 1: Make sure you leaving reviews and five star ratings and
Speaker 1: sharing it with the homies so we could get this
Speaker 1: thing pushed up in the algorithm and listen. I just
Speaker 1: want to remind you these people is not smarter than you.
Speaker 1: If you understand city living, you understand politics. We'll see
Speaker 1: you next week.
