Speaker 1: All media.
Speaker 2: Okay, first of all, please forgive me for the audio
Speaker 2: quality of the next section you about to hear.
Speaker 1: I recorded it while.
Speaker 2: I was in Greenville, Illinois, believe it or not, which
Speaker 2: is about an hour outside of Saint Louis, at a little, small,
Speaker 2: little university. Spend three days with the freshman. I did
Speaker 2: part of their sort of like just like orientation. I
Speaker 2: talked about like decision making and business and life.
Speaker 1: It's actually a great time.
Speaker 2: It was kind of the stuff I used to do
Speaker 2: in the before times, like pre pandemic. While I was
Speaker 2: These are the type of gigs we would do during
Speaker 2: the day while touring, you know, so you'd be on tour,
Speaker 2: you know, and you know book it shows, rocket shows,
Speaker 2: and then in the daytime, you know, you make a
Speaker 2: lot of extra money.
Speaker 1: Actually this would be the money that would fund the door,
Speaker 1: and you know, you.
Speaker 2: Go do something that matters, like you feel me like,
Speaker 2: of course I believe my music matters. But you know,
Speaker 2: shout out y'all at Greenville University that I got to
Speaker 2: talk to about that. And then after that, believe it
Speaker 2: or not, I spoke at the chapel because your boys
Speaker 2: still kind of know the Bible a little bit y'all
Speaker 2: talking about I just be saying I love Jesus, but
Speaker 2: I just be cussing, and I with all the I
Speaker 2: ain't with all the anti all the anti all the
Speaker 2: anti trans and all the anti gay stuff.
Speaker 1: I ain't with all that. I don't believe Jesus will
Speaker 1: be with all the anti either. Anyway.
Speaker 2: You can argue with your mom about your theology, yo,
Speaker 2: and obviously not the trump.
Speaker 3: Of it all.
Speaker 2: Anyway, This next section was recorded on like a regular
Speaker 2: like fifty eight microphone inside the Airbnb out there, so.
Speaker 1: Please forgive me.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure mattal clean it up anyway, y'all probably
Speaker 2: won't be able to tell the difference anyway.
Speaker 3: Check it out.
Speaker 2: So there's this clip with academics going around Twitter and
Speaker 2: the social sphere where you don't know who academics is.
Speaker 1: Spell it with a ak. You should know who that is.
Speaker 2: And anybody who I'm talking to in this pod should
Speaker 2: know and already does know where he's on his stream
Speaker 2: and the person he's talking to is trying to explain
Speaker 2: to him how Drake doesn't love you. He's a f boy,
Speaker 2: or to use our verlacular, he a fuck nigga he's
Speaker 2: trying to prove it to him that like he does
Speaker 2: not love you, and he's given him an example of
Speaker 2: you didn't even when Drake was performing in town twenty
Speaker 2: one had to get you in. He's like, you had
Speaker 2: to DM the dude and he didn't respond. Ack was like, yo,
Speaker 2: he didn't see the DM. Like it's cool, he just
Speaker 2: didn't see it. And the dude was like, bro, you
Speaker 2: are you serious. He's supposed to be your man's in
Speaker 2: them if that's supposed to be Kingfolk and he don't
Speaker 2: see your message. He's like, bro, he's treating you like
Speaker 2: a thought, Like he's treating you like a girl that
Speaker 2: he gonna link up with, but he don't feel like
Speaker 2: leaking up with. You just ignored a message and he's like, yo,
Speaker 2: it's not like that. And then Homie was like, what
Speaker 2: does he do for you? Like what makes you feel like?
Speaker 2: This is why nobody is defending him, because this how
Speaker 2: he carries himself.
Speaker 1: What does he do for you?
Speaker 2: He was like, he gives me exclusives and then the
Speaker 2: dude was like, does that for you?
Speaker 1: He was like no, And then what do you do
Speaker 1: with it?
Speaker 2: You get on your stream, you hype it up, He's like,
Speaker 2: he's using you, Like, don't you understand that he's using you?
Speaker 1: He don't care.
Speaker 2: He was like, if that's your man's in them, if
Speaker 2: he'd a gang in them, then when he gets into town,
Speaker 2: it's your act. Hey, I'm in the city. I got
Speaker 2: ten tickets for you. They already at will call. And
Speaker 2: as a touring artist, I can attest when I know
Speaker 2: I'm going into the city where the homies are. I've
Speaker 2: they're already on the list. When I like, when I
Speaker 2: get to Atlanta, La Craye, my dog La Craye already
Speaker 2: on the list. He already got a plus five, my
Speaker 2: homie show, he already on the list. He already got
Speaker 2: a plus five. It's not even a question, Like they
Speaker 2: don't even have to ask. I'll just text him. Ay,
Speaker 2: if y'all, if y'all here, it's right here, your tickets already.
Speaker 2: Do you know me already I've already told my manager
Speaker 2: if I'm in Nashville, my dog Derek, Derek already got tickets.
Speaker 2: It's not even because that's my folk in them. Like
Speaker 2: it's not so his answer, he's correct, Like if we
Speaker 2: really like, I'm not gonna miss your message, and if
Speaker 2: I miss your message, it's a if I see it
Speaker 2: at the end, I'm like, yo, okay, pull up. Now
Speaker 2: we're gonna go to dinner after meet me at the bus.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, there's no way because that's my folk
Speaker 2: in them. It's the same for me. When homies get
Speaker 2: to town in La like I I my tickets are
Speaker 2: already at the door, like I've already hit him. They're
Speaker 2: already like hey, as soon as they hit they tap
Speaker 2: in as soon as they hit the city. This is
Speaker 2: what we talk about. Hey, hey, I'm in Yo, I'm
Speaker 2: in your hood. Where we getting Let's get some burritos?
Speaker 2: Like take me to They're always like, yo, take me
Speaker 2: to the Badia truck, take me to Cinco Puntos, Like,
Speaker 2: let's go get it. Where the coffee at? I don't
Speaker 2: have to ask. So Molski dj Molski right now, he

Speaker 2: for Phoenix Cardinals in Phoenix the football, the Phoenix Cardinals,
Speaker 2: TJ for the Sparks, listen for the USC games.
Speaker 1: He's already sent the link.
Speaker 2: But when the season starts on stuff like that he
Speaker 2: has access to, like you know, obviously NFL is different,
Speaker 2: but like I already have the tickets, Like, it's not
Speaker 2: even a it's not it's not even a question. So
Speaker 2: when anybody that's like who I say is like my folk,
Speaker 2: if they invoke my name, I don't think twice about
Speaker 2: it and they feel the same way I can in
Speaker 2: ok there, I could speak freely on this pod about
Speaker 2: them because they know what it is.
Speaker 1: There's no question. The thought has never crossed either of
Speaker 1: our mind. Are we being used?
Speaker 2: And this man is trying to explain the academics, This
Speaker 2: man is using you because he only hits you when
Speaker 2: he needs something. Ain'tbody got friends that text you like that?
Speaker 2: He explains to the boy, Like, which is true. He
Speaker 2: sent a jet for Ice Spice before he even had
Speaker 2: tickets that will call for you. He was like, Yo,
Speaker 2: the reality is for what you do for him. Act
Speaker 2: is the biggest. He's like, you're the biggest media outlet
Speaker 2: in hip hop right now besides like Kai, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Okay, Like besides him, no, even bigger
Speaker 2: than him right now. He's like, look, you are the
Speaker 2: first person he should connect with because you hype up
Speaker 2: his music. He's like he'd be dropping trash music, and
Speaker 2: you get in your stream and you big it up
Speaker 2: like it's amazing. Maybe when you get home, maybe when
Speaker 2: you get off the stream you speak differently, but on
Speaker 2: the stream you talk like it's the greatest music on
Speaker 2: our He is using you only when he needs you,
Speaker 2: and he's like, this is why none of us mess
Speaker 2: with Drake, because that's the wrong way to carry yourself.
Speaker 1: You're using us, And when somebody is using.
Speaker 2: You, you could be like whatever, I'm gonna use you
Speaker 2: back and get what you need from him. Or you
Speaker 2: can kind of be like you not a real friend
Speaker 2: and keep my name out your mouth. You only talk
Speaker 2: to me when you need something, and the only time
Speaker 2: you ever do anything for me is when it benefits you.
Speaker 2: But a lot of times what you're doing for me
Speaker 2: really ain't helping. Maybe keep my name out your mouth.
Speaker 2: Stop using whatever access I got to big yourself up
Speaker 2: because your help ain't helping.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, you're making it worse.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Springfield, Ohio, y'all woll politics.
Speaker 1: But wait, it's like this.
Speaker 3: Bull look is like this bull look?
Speaker 1: It is like this all right, you know what it is?
Speaker 2: Freaky assmen, I'm not gonna need to take their asses side.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm talking about Diddy. They told that boy.
Speaker 2: Listen with your thousand bottles of baby oil and your
Speaker 2: almost thousands of dildo's.
Speaker 1: No, sir, you cannot get bail. Okay.
Speaker 2: Now, far be it from me to celebrate the demise
Speaker 2: of another powerful black man. However, when that black man
Speaker 2: has been exploiting other black men and black women, it's
Speaker 2: hard for me to not feel a little bit of like, brother,
Speaker 2: that's what you get, uh, brother? Now I am not
Speaker 2: one the other kink shame either. If that's your thing,
Speaker 2: that's your thing. However, when it's used to exhort an
Speaker 2: exact power, that's where the problem comes.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: We had boy Diddy, Good God Almighty, and other news
Speaker 2: and much more important news.
Speaker 1: Itcerns out.
Speaker 2: Mike Robinson learned today that see the magazine, the Maga group,
Speaker 2: see the Trump followers, see they all of a sudden
Speaker 2: find their morals when you black.
Speaker 1: He was calling him the new Martin Luther King. Mark Robinson.
Speaker 1: Boy in there in the.
Speaker 2: Grown up store, in the nasty store, bringing pizza. If
Speaker 2: you don't know so, Mark Robinson, He's in North Carolina
Speaker 2: and black dude full trumped up, and it turned out
Speaker 2: the dude that work in the adult stores like, hey,
Speaker 2: I know, bruh, he cool. He be coming to the
Speaker 2: stove looking at it, going into the back, watching the porns.
Speaker 1: He bring us pizza sometime. He cool. Dude.
Speaker 2: But now that that come out, like everybody love him.
Speaker 1: See it's okay for Trump to smash porn stars.
Speaker 2: You just you just can't do that and be black
Speaker 2: because now all of a sudden, mag don't want to
Speaker 2: vote for it.
Speaker 1: You can't listen. These people don't love you.
Speaker 2: Also, Israel has proven that it's Israel versus everybody, and
Speaker 2: they want all the smoke.
Speaker 1: They with all of it.
Speaker 2: They looked at Lebanon like, hey, we've been watching y'all
Speaker 2: for a while, them fools in the most spy movie
Speaker 2: Double O seven Diabolical. I can't believe y'all thought of
Speaker 2: This got into the supply chain of pagers because Hesbela said,
Speaker 2: we think Israel may have our phone taps, so.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go old school and go pages.
Speaker 2: Bruh. They don't planet bombs inside the pages, and it
Speaker 2: was supposed to be only at least Their argument was
Speaker 2: this was supposed to be only for those Hesbela folks.
Speaker 2: They the only folks that do this. They didn't went
Speaker 2: all the way to Taiwan, they said, if Taiwan said,
Speaker 2: the factory in India either way.
Speaker 1: Toxic.
Speaker 2: Cuz now, having said that, it is according to the
Speaker 2: international courts of war crime, this is terrorism. You can't
Speaker 2: you can't detonate bombs, even against enemy combatants when they
Speaker 2: are in a civilian place. And you can't implant things
Speaker 2: bombs inside of pieces of tech. That's the villions use
Speaker 2: on an everyday basis. It's just it's it's by definition terrorists.
Speaker 1: Just so you know. Now having said that, it's not
Speaker 1: like Hezbelah's is. They're also terrorists. Not let's not act
Speaker 1: like this.
Speaker 2: Ain't no, just like this, Ay, the Hamas stand account
Speaker 2: like listen, nobody's got any joy for Hezbelah.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no, you can't be the hero if
Speaker 1: you're doing what the villain do. It's just factual.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Israel, all the smoke where everybody it's like that,
Speaker 2: it's like this all right, So there's a lot going
Speaker 2: on in this story that some of them or some
Speaker 2: of y'all may already know and there's some really interesting
Speaker 2: again kind of cross sections of you know, kind of
Speaker 2: urban street smarts that should raise that if you're aware
Speaker 2: of these things, it should raise your eyebrows.
Speaker 1: Whenever any politician does this.
Speaker 2: One of the things specifically, like with the gang stuff,
Speaker 2: is you know, like kind of like the false flagon,
Speaker 2: like or you know, you rep in neighborhoods that nobody really.
Speaker 1: Knows you in, or.
Speaker 2: You're seeking to prove your certification based on your homeboys'
Speaker 2: activities or your family's activities, like if your brother was
Speaker 2: the one that was really active, really out there, sue whooping,
Speaker 2: like that's your brother, and of course.
Speaker 1: You was close, you know what I mean, that's kim folk.
Speaker 2: But like that's not there's some access. There's some stories
Speaker 2: that like hey, the gang, and it might be like hey, bro,
Speaker 2: like and this is what I why wear phrases like
Speaker 2: if you're using it correctly, like yo, hey helmy, Like
Speaker 2: you wasn't outside, like you weren't in your brother was
Speaker 2: in the field with us. Like some of that has
Speaker 2: to do with the fact that like it was really
Speaker 2: I can't stress enough the era that I came from,
Speaker 2: how profoundly violent that time was Another thing it's hard
Speaker 2: to really capture is just how young these boys are.
Speaker 1: Like it.
Speaker 2: I think I've said it so many times, but again
Speaker 2: out here in Cali and actually probably in a lot
Speaker 2: of areas.
Speaker 1: I mean it starts in middle school, like you are.
Speaker 2: I The first time I've said it so many times
Speaker 2: on Song's first time I saw gun was when I
Speaker 2: was ten years old, realizing that like these boys that
Speaker 2: Granny and them told me I was not supposed to
Speaker 2: play with, I still wanted to go play with them
Speaker 2: because they was cool. And I realized that that much like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, that's what she meant, because yeah, we might die,
Speaker 2: maam like that, Like that's something a ten year old
Speaker 2: if you are on some like nah, this is what
Speaker 2: it is like.
Speaker 1: This is exciting, that adrenaline.
Speaker 2: By this time, by the time, if by the grace
Speaker 2: of God, you make it to your twenties, you and
Speaker 2: you know your five six seven friends that you still
Speaker 2: kick it with. Y'all live gone the funerals together. You've
Speaker 2: buried relatives, people.
Speaker 1: Been to juvie.
Speaker 2: They didn't gone to jail. It's friends you'll never see
Speaker 2: again because they locked up. Y'all hid under cars, behind buildings,
Speaker 2: you've shot and shot back and having no idea where
Speaker 2: the bullets are coming from, the experience, you've gone through
Speaker 2: a war together. So when somebody just being like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I sue whoop. You know what I'm saying, like, hey, look,
Speaker 2: and then somebody say holdo.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold up? Where you from? Oh,
Speaker 1: nigga is nutty block? You know that's a that's a
Speaker 1: Compton game.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's like wait, time out, time out? Hey, who know? Blood?
Speaker 1: You wasn't like hold up.
Speaker 2: I'm even using myself as a example, how I keep saying, hey, blad,
Speaker 2: So like, listen, I'm not a blood And there might
Speaker 2: be some dudes that like some bloods out here that
Speaker 2: like would even take offense to me, even using a
Speaker 2: slang right now. You know, I understand that because of
Speaker 2: all the stuff that they've been through. I mean, no disrespect,
Speaker 2: o gee, I'm just I'm trying to make a point here.
Speaker 2: You feel me if you grant me that? Also, because
Speaker 2: I usually be like, hey, cause in most of the
Speaker 2: shows and I'm like, let's be fair, anyways, forgive me.
Speaker 2: Has this been a proof and it's like you take
Speaker 2: it personal because bro, we almost died and a lot
Speaker 2: of us did, and just for you to show up
Speaker 2: on a video like it just won't you don't. We
Speaker 2: won't play with that because of what we've gone through.
Speaker 2: And also, let's just say it's on the other side
Speaker 2: of this to where it's just like and you probably
Speaker 2: should chill about talking about what we're doing over here.
Speaker 2: Like let's just say it's a good thing. Let's just
Speaker 2: say you were you were out here with us and
Speaker 2: now you're famous. Let's say you did make it. Maybe
Speaker 2: you running, you know, fifteen twenty percent back to the block.
Speaker 1: To help out. But Breuth, we still out here trapping.
Speaker 2: You can't just be showing up, blowing the spot up, bro,
Speaker 2: like you telling everybody all our activities.
Speaker 1: Man, like nigga, you not helping. You gotta stop coming.
Speaker 2: You gotta stop showing up over here because your helping
Speaker 2: ain't helping. Like, maybe stop telling everybody what blocked you
Speaker 2: from what set you claim? Like maybe maybe like maybe
Speaker 2: fall back because there's some unwanted attention by you being
Speaker 2: loud about it, and only the other way around when
Speaker 2: it's like you being loud and wrong that stuff don't
Speaker 2: But I think it's even.
Speaker 1: More worse when it's like, oh, bro, none of us
Speaker 1: know you. We don't.
Speaker 2: You ain't ever been over here, you've never pulled up.
Speaker 2: You may have. You may be in a neighborhood next
Speaker 2: to ours, a neighborhood similar to ours. You may know
Speaker 2: somebody who dated somebody whose little brother grew up here.
Speaker 2: So maybe we share. Maybe we both got red flag,
Speaker 2: but we would both got blue flag. Maybe maybe it's
Speaker 2: thres say, maybe it's an ossa. Maybe it is, But
Speaker 2: like Bruh, in a general sense, I ain't got no
Speaker 2: problem with you, and I think in a lot of
Speaker 2: ways I might agree, But ultimately, nigga, you we don't
Speaker 2: know you, You've never been and even if we dealing
Speaker 2: with situations, you not really here to help us.
Speaker 1: You really don't care about our guest.
Speaker 2: You really don't care, Like hold up, keep my name
Speaker 2: out your mouth, and I would have been fine with
Speaker 2: whatever activities you're doing. But now that you're speaking on us,
Speaker 2: this attention is not the attention we need.
Speaker 1: And if you was really one of us, you would
Speaker 1: know that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm talking about spring hild Springfield, Ohio, the
Speaker 2: Haitian immigrants and they're eating pets, which I'm sure you
Speaker 2: know all the stories by now, but I don't know
Speaker 2: if you know the follow up. They've had thirty six
Speaker 2: bomb threats. The entire right wing influencers sphere has descended
Speaker 2: on this little last town trying to find big old
Speaker 2: air quotes proof of something that was not only started
Speaker 2: off as a rumor, was made up and both Trump
Speaker 2: and JD Vance have admitted was false. Matter of fact, like, look,
Speaker 2: I got this from Political in the in this podcast
Speaker 2: Political Gaffest, which I didn't know.
Speaker 1: This juicy piece of information.
Speaker 2: It's that JD called the city to try to verify. Yo,
Speaker 2: is this what's going on? The city was like, nah, man,
Speaker 2: mister de man, this is what I mean by like
Speaker 2: the hood adjacent, like you from Ohio and I've done
Speaker 2: shows in Ohio.
Speaker 1: This this little thing shouldn't have bothered me, but it did.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact. I think Cody talked about it
Speaker 2: on even More News. You supposed to to say, oh Age,
Speaker 2: and then the crowd goes, I, oh, every rap show
Speaker 2: I did Cleveland, Columbus, if you perform in Ohio, Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: oh Age. They all know my manager's from Cincinnati. I
Speaker 2: could text him right now, oh Age. He would already
Speaker 2: know what to do. So it just bothered me that
Speaker 2: he couldn't even do that.
Speaker 1: I thought that was weird.
Speaker 2: Anyway, you supposed to be from you supposed to be
Speaker 2: from here, which means if I'm Springfield, if I'm in
Speaker 2: Ohio City, I would hope that when you speak on
Speaker 2: us that we're good. I would hope that if I
Speaker 2: rally all these troops to vote for you again, if
Speaker 2: I'm academics.
Speaker 1: Look, it's dope that you're sending me all these exclusives.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna big you up. I'm thinking, because I'm doing
Speaker 2: all this for you, you gonna look out for me.
Speaker 2: But if your lookout for me is I give you
Speaker 2: exclusives in early releases, that's not looking out.
Speaker 1: That serves yourself.
Speaker 2: Now, this isn't the first time or the only time
Speaker 2: or the last time. Let's be real that a national
Speaker 2: conversation about a particular local situation gets weaponized for better
Speaker 2: or for worse, for a national campaign.
Speaker 1: Y'all.
Speaker 2: Remember how everybody was talking about Chicago. Listen, I can't
Speaker 2: believe I'm finna do these people's homework for them. You
Speaker 2: could have told this story so differently. With Chicago, everything
Speaker 2: was about all the violence in Chicago? What about Chicago?
Speaker 2: All the violence in Chicago? You'd be like you ever
Speaker 2: been in Chicago?
Speaker 1: Do you know what? Do you know what's going on?
Speaker 1: I know it's called Shiraq.
Speaker 2: Do you know you ever heard of Grip Youth, the
Speaker 2: Grip Youth organization. You ever heard of Grip? You know
Speaker 2: Brian die in the Legacy conference. Do you know about
Speaker 2: their art installation program? Do you know about Pilsen?
Speaker 1: Do you know.
Speaker 2: About all these things that they have done as a city,
Speaker 2: as a community, private, public, religious, all of it have
Speaker 2: done to create interventions and to stop the violence. So
Speaker 2: rather than y'all just talking about the viole, what you're
Speaker 2: gonna do to come out but keep my name out
Speaker 2: your mouth? That this is the attitude I'm talking about,
Speaker 2: Like you could have told this story.
Speaker 1: So listen, I'm finna do the Republican's homework. Quote him.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm finna do this, y'all.
Speaker 2: If you wasn't so racist, you could have brought so
Speaker 2: much Springfield, Ohio could have been your shining star if
Speaker 2: you wasn't so damn racist. God dog. Okay, wait, now
Speaker 2: let me back up. Give a brief history of what
Speaker 2: happened up there and how it became part of the
Speaker 2: national conversation, which I'm pretty sure you kind of know
Speaker 2: how it is by now, But and I think I
Speaker 2: talked about it in the Who's Whooping Whose Feet?
Speaker 1: Episode?
Speaker 2: Springfield was a regular ass, good old American factory town.
Speaker 2: It was doing great, and then, like what happened with
Speaker 2: every other factory town, the factory started closing, jobs went
Speaker 2: to the other side of the ocean. It was all bad.
Speaker 2: You know, it's right outside of Columbus, and it's little
Speaker 2: town with no jobs. Everybody leaving because there's no as
Speaker 2: quaint as that little town is and no jobs. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's nothing for us to do, Like there's no there's
Speaker 2: no hope for like upward mobility.
Speaker 1: So let's ride things change again. Let me do the Republicans'
Speaker 1: homework for them.
Speaker 2: Democrats sent jobs overseas, we brought them back, and Springfield
Speaker 2: is a great example.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why you couldn't have said that.
Speaker 2: So the factories come back, and now there's jobs that
Speaker 2: are available and not enough people in the city to
Speaker 2: fill these jobs. So you got all this opportunity, you
Speaker 2: got all this wealth that we could be making and
Speaker 2: it's just not enough. You ever been to a city
Speaker 2: that's built for more people? Then that's there. I remember
Speaker 2: touring through Detroit a few years back where you're like,
Speaker 2: it's kind of eerie that you're like, it's dope that
Speaker 2: there's no traffic, but like it's kind of eerie that
Speaker 2: you like, this city is clearly made for more people
Speaker 2: than are here. It's kind of bizarre, this is what
Speaker 2: the city's looking like. But now, Yo, let's go. We
Speaker 2: need workers. We got the jobs here.
Speaker 1: We need workers.
Speaker 2: If we're gonna stay open, we need people to work.
Speaker 2: It's not that there's it's just not enough of you. Now,
Speaker 2: if you've met a single immigrant, what they coming to do,
Speaker 2: nigga work, I don't understand what Like, I don't understand
Speaker 2: the story y'all telling they come to work? My g
Speaker 2: They watching the news, They know how expensive it is
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. You think they're the first person in their
Speaker 2: family to come to America. That they are not in
Speaker 2: conversation with other people that came here. Listen, we coming
Speaker 2: here to work because this where the jobs are. Now,
Speaker 2: as a side note, this whole thing, let them okay, y'all.
Speaker 1: Again, this world, this one.
Speaker 2: I wish there was more conservatives that listen to this show, because,
Speaker 2: fam think about it for a second. If I'm here illegally,
Speaker 2: why in the absolute flying fuck.
Speaker 1: Would I vote?
Speaker 2: Because that would put me on a federal list. Genius,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to avoid the fence. Why would I volunteer?
Speaker 2: Why would I volunteer my name and home address to
Speaker 2: the people that could deport me?
Speaker 1: What is wrong with y'all?
Speaker 2: God dog, where is your discernment? Where is your street smarts?
Speaker 1: Damn sense? Sheesh?
Speaker 2: Instead a million illegals voting that would blow the spot.
Speaker 1: Just again, keep my name out of your mouth. But
Speaker 1: back to Springfield.
Speaker 2: So what most immigrant families do is they tap in
Speaker 2: with people that they know who are already here, and
Speaker 2: those people send information back and say, Okay, it's cool
Speaker 2: over here. Look I found a place to stay. You
Speaker 2: could stay with us till you find somewhere to go.
Speaker 1: But this city cool. Look I'm working here. They pay
Speaker 1: pretty good.
Speaker 2: You know, the prices are low and look and you
Speaker 2: know you could you could still get some you know,
Speaker 2: some good pasola here like if not, then I'll cook
Speaker 2: for you, you feel me. So most immigrants, when they're
Speaker 2: fleeing a country, are trying to set up a situation
Speaker 2: where they could just get back on their feet. They
Speaker 2: here to work, and they trying to create, and they
Speaker 2: and why, and they trying to be in a place that,
Speaker 2: as foreign as it is, would be somewhat familiar. So
Speaker 2: you gonna go where your family would or where you
Speaker 2: know somebody at least from your city, some of your village,
Speaker 2: or at least from your country, at least somebody that
Speaker 2: speak your language. I'm not just gonna like spin the
Speaker 2: globe like come into America and just put my finger
Speaker 2: on it and say that's where we go in Like, no,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go where the homies told me. It's like
Speaker 2: where's the work? In other words, they would do literally
Speaker 2: exactly what you would do, because they're just humans. So
Speaker 2: go back to what's happening in Haiti. I mean, are
Speaker 2: y'all y'all been sleep the last two years?
Speaker 1: Haiti ran by gang.
Speaker 2: This dude named Barbecue has called himself the president like
Speaker 2: he they didn't killed, they didn't ran niggas off, Like
Speaker 2: it's I mean, it's Matt. It's a movie out there.
Speaker 2: It's Matt MaTx. Remember they had the earthquake about ten
Speaker 2: years back. They've been under some of the grossest, most
Speaker 2: horrible sanctions. In my mind for no dog goe reason.
Speaker 2: Just I just still think Western civilization is salty that
Speaker 2: they was able to throw off they slave owners.
Speaker 1: Y'all just mad that they won. Anyway.
Speaker 2: Haiti is like it's in shambles. It's literally ran by
Speaker 2: street games. So in this particular situation, their status in
Speaker 2: coming into the States is not like hopping a fence
Speaker 2: like this illegal immigrant thing or just these raiding hordes
Speaker 2: that y'all trying to say. They have temporary protective status.
Speaker 2: And in the temporary protective status because they coming from
Speaker 2: a war torn country, it's legal for them to work.
Speaker 2: It seemed to me like a perfect match. You got
Speaker 2: a city that's dying. The city's dying. Jobs have came back.
Speaker 2: There's not enough jobs there. It attracts legal immigration who
Speaker 2: have works, so it's nobody's losing their jobs. No jobs
Speaker 2: are being taken from you. The jobs are there, there's
Speaker 2: a surplus of jobs. They come in and like every
Speaker 2: other immigrant immigrant city.
Speaker 1: Guess what happened.
Speaker 2: They start businesses, They open restaurants, you're able to rent.
Speaker 2: These people work most of the time, two and three
Speaker 2: jobs are the you know the gross uh yeah, the
Speaker 2: gross index, like the money the city makes it goes up.
Speaker 2: You now have to hire ESL teachers, So now there's
Speaker 2: war jobs.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: The only problem you have in is they drive on
Speaker 2: the other side of Zola. They're having a hard time
Speaker 2: getting childcare and they having a hard time driving on.
Speaker 1: This side of the street.
Speaker 2: So yes, they've had a lot of accidents because they
Speaker 2: come from a country where were driving the other side
Speaker 2: of the street. So like they're having a hard time
Speaker 2: getting licenses, but they still got to go to work.
Speaker 2: That's absolutely a problem. But listen, you got new Haitian restaurants.
Speaker 2: These people are starting businesses. They're sending their kids to
Speaker 2: your schools. Dude, what's wrong with y'all? Were like, this
Speaker 2: could have been your success story. This is I don't
Speaker 2: understand Springfield could have been if you weren't so racist.
Speaker 2: This could have been your shining star, wet dream of
Speaker 2: a story. It's like, you could have told this completely
Speaker 2: completely opposite, and you know what the hood would have been, Like,
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, big hommy good look, uh because now
Speaker 2: you're shining a light on us even if racism exists there,
Speaker 2: even though because the people were complaining in the city.
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, they was complaining because again racism abounds,
Speaker 2: but on a national tip, because again the city and
Speaker 2: state doesn't control immigration. The Feds control immigration, and we
Speaker 2: can't tell an immigrant they can't come to our town.
Speaker 2: And if you run a business, you looking at the
Speaker 2: city folk like y'all better shut you up, sit down somewhere.
Speaker 2: I need these workers. These foods show up on time.
Speaker 2: They work twice as hard as y'all. You know how
Speaker 2: much money we making. Look, if you own an apartment complex,
Speaker 2: you're like, fam, let's go this building. Been vacant for
Speaker 2: ten years. Yo, were good, and you know what I'm
Speaker 2: learning a little French. We out here eating a bilop
Speaker 2: and bonn on cheese weight.
Speaker 1: That's beliezi you. But things is going real good.
Speaker 2: If you were, oh my gosh, if y'all weren't so racist,
Speaker 2: you could use this as an example that your platform works.
Speaker 2: That if there's legal immigration where we get to have
Speaker 2: give us your poor you're hungry and your huddled masses,
Speaker 2: and they come and they work and are and jobs
Speaker 2: are being filled. We brought factories back to America and look,
Speaker 2: we're the attraction of the whole world. And in this community, listen,
Speaker 2: they're learning how to live in harmony. You could even
Speaker 2: use it as a post racist you know, a little banner.
Speaker 2: You could be like, look it, people are eating in
Speaker 2: the Haitian restaurants. You know, we're learning French. This is
Speaker 2: a success story. If you would just let the GOP cook,
Speaker 2: America could have this type of harmony instead of you
Speaker 2: Democrats that are letting in the illegals and they're just
Speaker 2: taking over as us. It's like, no, let us create jobs.
Speaker 2: Let the economy do what it does. There was, you know,
Speaker 2: you remove the regulation they were here legally, and these
Speaker 2: jobs came back in the city of success.
Speaker 1: But no, the niggers are eating cats.
Speaker 2: So a lady in her Facebook group says that she
Speaker 2: heard tell that her friend's neighbor's daughter thought she saw
Speaker 2: out the window somebody barbecue and a cat. Then at
Speaker 2: the town hall meeting, some sort of random ass right
Speaker 2: wing YouTuber was like, I've seen them at the park
Speaker 2: capturing the ducks and strangling them. My nigga, what the
Speaker 2: what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Y'all?
Speaker 2: Seeing those memes going around about Trump saying it's not
Speaker 2: maybe Trump's not a racist, or maybe not all Trump
Speaker 2: supporters are racist. Y'all just decided that racism wasn't a
Speaker 2: deal breaker. It's the same thing about these weird though
Speaker 2: maybe everybody on the right ain't weird.
Speaker 1: You just decided that being weird was okay.
Speaker 2: Because that's some Like first of all, who are you
Speaker 2: do you live here? And let me again, let me
Speaker 2: just give you some logic. Why would I try to
Speaker 2: catch a cat when there's a Kroger right around the corner.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to work and go home. Like it's
Speaker 2: like you can't put yourself in their shoes. It's like
Speaker 2: you don't like, you don't think these people like again,
Speaker 2: you've never met a m You don't think these people
Speaker 2: on their best behavior, y'a, Like, I don't understand they
Speaker 2: these people rent apartments.
Speaker 1: In open businesses. Why the hell?
Speaker 2: And then someone produces a grainy video of what looked
Speaker 2: like a cat, what looked maybe like a cat on
Speaker 2: a grill. First of all, I was in Dayton, Ohio,
Speaker 2: and you can't tell if that's a cat, and it's
Speaker 2: not even from this year. But anyway, this rumor gets out.
Speaker 2: Elon tweets about it. Jnald Trump Junior tweets about it.
Speaker 2: It gets to Trump's desk, it gets into his sphere,
Speaker 2: and then this man utters it on national television during
Speaker 2: the presidential debate, and then JD. Vance doubles down when
Speaker 2: he's interviewed and he says, listen, man, I'm concerned about this,
Speaker 2: like this is my beloved Ohio.
Speaker 3: Nah.
Speaker 2: I tapped in. I know people over there, and they
Speaker 2: told me. They told me a lot of their problems.
Speaker 2: And one of them told me verified that this day situation.
Speaker 2: They said, that's what they said, because I know people
Speaker 2: over there. Foods Listen where we from? Foods will ask
Speaker 2: you immediately, Oh, where what high school you go to?
Speaker 2: You from LA high school?
Speaker 1: You go to Eisenhower.
Speaker 2: My nigga, that's Fontana and that's not a problem. Moski
Speaker 2: went to Eisenhower. A lot of great people who were
Speaker 2: born and raised in La got shipped.
Speaker 1: Out to the Inland Empire. I am one of them.
Speaker 1: I went to Rancho A Cuckamonga High.
Speaker 2: I was born as South Central. I live most of
Speaker 2: my life in the SGV. My parents split and I
Speaker 2: did the little back and forth between the Inland Empire
Speaker 2: and lap went thee back and forth. That's why I'm
Speaker 2: always clear, like I went to high school Nai, so
Speaker 2: that like that question don't come up when I try
Speaker 2: to be like, oh, like, no, Nigga's not and that's
Speaker 2: not a that's fine, but don't act like you really
Speaker 2: you more tapped in than you actually are. Okay, where
Speaker 2: y'r granny stay? And that's very la you from where
Speaker 2: y're granny from? You know what I'm saying, which is
Speaker 2: why I could say I'm from South Central like I
Speaker 2: am my granny at you do anyway.
Speaker 1: And also we lived there.
Speaker 2: That's that stolen valor I was talking about. That's that
Speaker 2: false flag, Like Nigga, you're not from here though, first
Speaker 2: of all, again keep my name out of your mouth.
Speaker 2: And he's like, the problem is the Democrats policy are
Speaker 2: letting too many people and Americans are suffering. And then
Speaker 2: she would and then Dana Bash who was an interview
Speaker 2: and was like, hey, but like are they eating cats though,
Speaker 2: like just an honest question, just like and what it
Speaker 2: turns out is he know that's wrong, and even what
Speaker 2: he says is like anything that brings attention to the point.
Speaker 2: So she's like, so you know it's false, you know
Speaker 2: there's no evidence of this, but you okay with saying it.
Speaker 2: So then he's just essentially is like, if I got
Speaker 2: to lie to get my point across, then the lie
Speaker 2: is okay, to which I would say, using the most
Speaker 2: basic of logic, if you have to lie to prove
Speaker 2: the point, then you don't have a point. That's not
Speaker 2: I don't think that that's that's not a revolutionary thought.
Speaker 2: Not exactly, Karl Marx out this mug. I mean, this
Speaker 2: ain't no, this ain't a Malcolm X thing. You should
Speaker 2: put on the T shirt my brother in Christ. If
Speaker 2: you lie and to prove your point, you don't have
Speaker 2: a point. It's just it's so simple to me, so
Speaker 2: clearly again Springfield being used you academics in this situation,
Speaker 2: and this is me being the guy calling in the
Speaker 2: academics and telling them these people don't love you. But
Speaker 2: they figured this out themselves, because what happened after these
Speaker 2: men started talking to all this madness about their little city,
Speaker 2: Well since then, there's been thirty six bomb threats called
Speaker 2: in today city.
Speaker 1: And everybody.
Speaker 2: In the right wing internet influencer sphere, who I mean,
Speaker 2: these people have like millions and millions of followers. They
Speaker 2: to anybody who's like not really tapped into all that.
Speaker 2: I was gonna use some derogatory but that's not fair.
Speaker 2: But just if that's not your world.
Speaker 1: It's like, for.
Speaker 2: Example, I was talking to these kids in Greenville, like
Speaker 2: I said, when the show started, and when you're in
Speaker 2: a fandom, things that happen inside of your fandom feel
Speaker 2: so large, and they might actually be, but you have
Speaker 2: to remember the rest of the world don't got no
Speaker 2: idea what you're talking about. Nobody else understands any of
Speaker 2: the references you make. Or Goku asking about if he
Speaker 2: gonna go to heaven. Goku, ain't the way in the
Speaker 2: world you going to heaven. You have planets worth of
Speaker 2: bodies even before you sent Manjibu into oblivion. Bro, Like,
Speaker 2: there's no way you could possibly expect to like.
Speaker 1: Talking about Dragon Ball.
Speaker 2: Sort of l ron and all this, Like, don't nobody
Speaker 2: know what you talking about? But in your world it's
Speaker 2: a big deal. We live near Little Tokyo. We just
Speaker 2: happen to walk into something. My daughter loves going to
Speaker 2: Little Tokyo and she's just been completely anime pilled. So
Speaker 2: we go to the little, you know, little Tokyo library.
Speaker 2: She buys little little manga books and then we go
Speaker 2: get some nagiri or something, and we just happen to
Speaker 2: walk into some sort of like pop up meet and
Speaker 2: greet where these people is I dressed up as characters
Speaker 2: I never heard of and are doing they all know
Speaker 2: these songs, they all know these dances. They all doing this.
Speaker 2: I mean it's similar to like the Kendrick Lamar pop
Speaker 2: out when all the all the brothers on the on
Speaker 2: the on the on the stage holding their hands, see walking.
Speaker 2: If you don't know what you're looking at, you like, yo,
Speaker 2: why are black men holding their hands and all doing
Speaker 2: the same dance? Well, you not in our world? I
Speaker 2: get it. So if you're not in that weird right, well,
Speaker 2: let me not call it they no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: these particular ones is weird if you not in they world,
Speaker 2: you don't realize these people be having five to seven
Speaker 2: million followers like.
Speaker 1: These people like they not they not nobodies.
Speaker 2: Some of these people came from Turning Point, USA. This dude,
Speaker 2: Tyler olivera who's video about Springfield Look they reported on
Speaker 2: it on NPR, said that fool got like four million
Speaker 2: views in a week where basically he was like, I
Speaker 2: just wanted to go see if it is true. Rather
Speaker 2: than having any sort of antennas, you essentially one you
Speaker 2: get the clicks, and two you get to make a
Speaker 2: gang of money like that, and three you get to
Speaker 2: pretend like you're an actual reporter. You're like, well, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go do my own research. I'm gonna go find myself.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna walk around here and I'm gonna find proof.
Speaker 2: Now listen, all my little sleuths, it's already backwards because
Speaker 2: you're starting with the claim and looking for the evidence
Speaker 2: to prove them rather than find the evidence and say
Speaker 2: what the evidence says.
Speaker 1: It's backwards, y'alln already.
Speaker 2: Accepted that whatever come out that weird man's mouth is
Speaker 2: true because it's already in your sphere. Now listen, I'm
Speaker 2: saying this deeply into my sphere. I understand that. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying, where are your antennas. You don't start with
Speaker 2: the conclusion and then reverse engineer it. You look at
Speaker 2: what's there and then draw the conclusion. But that's not
Speaker 2: what they're doing. They going there over there trying to
Speaker 2: backtrack and prove Trump's statements, Now, who do you interview
Speaker 2: if you Haitian, guess what you're doing?
Speaker 1: You terrified.
Speaker 2: Of course, there was a really tragic accident, which is
Speaker 2: really what's set off all the part of the beginning
Speaker 2: of the hate. Besides the fact that, like you know,
Speaker 2: rent was going up because people places is making money
Speaker 2: now when the Haitians got there.
Speaker 1: But also it was this horrible, horrible.
Speaker 2: Car crash that happened when and this Haitian immigrant ran
Speaker 2: into the school bus and a lot of the babies
Speaker 2: passed away. This whole causality connection that for some reason
Speaker 2: is working in the right wing right now to where
Speaker 2: if a crime happens and that person is an immigrant,
Speaker 2: therefore no immigrants should be here because immigrants commit crimes.
Speaker 1: It's as if citizens don't.
Speaker 2: Commit crimes and all crimes come from immigrants. Such a bizarre,
Speaker 2: twisted logic. But they said, if that person was a
Speaker 2: year then this crime would have never happened. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: it's the same with the citizen, isn't it. It's just
Speaker 2: it's look, it's just baffling anyway. So this little teeny
Speaker 2: town is flooded with these right wing people looking for interviews,
Speaker 2: and at the same time, in Springfield, the actual citizens,
Speaker 2: the lady that first told the story isn't a biracial
Speaker 2: relationship with a biracial child.
Speaker 1: And she even said, yo, I wasn't raised.
Speaker 2: Hey, my dude, so then you know that this is
Speaker 2: She was like, I deeply regret this has all been
Speaker 2: openly reported. I deeply regret telling this. I ain't think
Speaker 2: it was gonna turn out all that. I was just
Speaker 2: saying what I heard thirty six bomb threads right wingers
Speaker 2: all over the place. Their Haitian population is terrified. But
Speaker 2: at the same time, Associated Press reported how citizens are
Speaker 2: flooding the Haitian restaurants in support for that community. Because
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, communities are it's a
Speaker 2: net positive. It's just a net positive when this happens.
Speaker 2: When you have a new community come in, there's more
Speaker 2: money flowing through the city. Of course, you got people
Speaker 2: having problems. Of course, listen, that's been on the local news,
Speaker 2: that's been reported. Yes, there's a lot of hatred happening
Speaker 2: in that city. Yes there is, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2: And Springfield could probably some help. And here's the national
Speaker 2: strategy part this, Why be like your helping ain't helping.
Speaker 2: Just keep my name out your mouth, which is really
Speaker 2: you know, it's what the city council said, it's what
Speaker 2: the mayor said. The mayor said, I really wish you
Speaker 2: wouldn't talk about us like this. We got problems, but
Speaker 2: this ain't helping, he said in his own interview Mayor
Speaker 2: Rob Row, he said, listen, we even went through the
Speaker 2: last eleven months of police reports.
Speaker 1: There is zero evidence of this, and I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: words in his mouth, like what.
Speaker 2: The hell are you talking about? He was like, I'm here.
Speaker 2: He said, there was one report that they received and
Speaker 2: they followed up. They couldn't find a person that made
Speaker 2: a report, which I have a guess as dud who
Speaker 2: made that report is one of these right wing fools.
Speaker 2: But he was like, listen, dude, we just we just
Speaker 2: grew our economy. There's eight thousand jobs, there's brand new
Speaker 2: businesses where community that comes together. We're doing all right.
Speaker 2: Of course we have our problems, but we're doing all right.
Speaker 2: What we don't need is you talking about us like
Speaker 2: you love us, because you clearly don't.
Speaker 1: Of course he didn't say it like that.
Speaker 2: That ass part that what we don't need, that's me
Speaker 2: added thirty six bomb threats, countless right wing goals, and
Speaker 2: now a community of Haitian immigrants that are scared to
Speaker 2: lead a house. Bro If it's all the same to you, respectfully,
Speaker 2: keep my name out of your mouth.
Speaker 1: Love politics, y'all.
