Speaker 1: All media.
Speaker 2: So this year, uh, I want to hear more from
Speaker 2: y'all as to like what you want me to talk about.
Speaker 2: I'll just be up here picking stuff that I find interesting,
Speaker 2: you know. But we created a little survey that's gonna
Speaker 2: be in the show notes and if you're on my
Speaker 2: Patreon you already got it. But I just like, I mean,
Speaker 2: are we doing all right? Like, let'st how can we
Speaker 2: how can we get our weight up?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: So please please, please please, if you find time, please.
Speaker 2: Fill out that survey for me, just so I can, like,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, like, let's get some ideas
Speaker 2: you feel me, like, let'sten.
Speaker 1: You know I'm here for y'all, all.
Speaker 2: Right, you four to face it, I'm winning rewarded faces,
Speaker 2: given reward to something something I don't know my own
Speaker 2: rap well politics with pride anyway, how are you guys?
Speaker 1: That was me waiting for you to answer. I'm very
Speaker 1: happy to be here.
Speaker 2: My voice is a little raspy because this is the
Speaker 2: first Monday of the month. And if you know me
Speaker 2: and you're watching, you see that banner back there, which
Speaker 2: is reversed for some reason. I'm still learning how to
Speaker 2: do all this camera stuff, but the banner says real
Speaker 2: ones on it because of club Real Ones that happens
Speaker 2: every first Sunday, which kind of leads into the look
Speaker 2: as like this shout out y'allhoo fought through and came
Speaker 2: out and continue to support us. We was a real
Speaker 2: little worry for a number of reasons. One, it was
Speaker 2: Grammy weekend, so it was like, I don't know if
Speaker 2: anybody coming, mostly because the one ten to the one
Speaker 2: on one exchange, which is like two exits before if
Speaker 2: you're coming from the east side, two exits before you
Speaker 2: get to our venue down by La Dasa, which I
Speaker 2: have zero complaints about. Like, it was pretty beautiful to
Speaker 2: see the way for which the city came together to
Speaker 2: stand up for themselves and protests against some of these
Speaker 2: just gross new immigration laws. I am the father of
Speaker 2: a person at elementary school, and knowing that it's very
Speaker 2: possible that an ICE agent could show up at my
Speaker 2: child school, just it sounds bonkers to me. It's an
Speaker 2: anxiety that children shouldn't have to have, so a little
Speaker 2: frustrated excuse them for being a little frustrated and shutting
Speaker 2: down a freeway. I can be mildly inconvenienced in exchange
Speaker 2: for the things that they've gone through and are going
Speaker 2: through right now. So I rode by honk from a
Speaker 2: fist up you know what I'm saying, Like I'm with y'all, but.
Speaker 1: I also know the city well enough.
Speaker 2: We had a party to throw, so was like, all right,
Speaker 2: let me dip up Broadway up into Chinatown to go
Speaker 2: over Grand because Grand goes over sess our job is,
Speaker 2: and through downtown down a street Vermont to where I
Speaker 2: had to go.
Speaker 1: This is very la but that's.
Speaker 2: Why my voice is raspy, and today we got to
Speaker 2: talk about Elon.
Speaker 1: Now, what you might notice as you get into.
Speaker 2: This episode is the fact that the quality of this
Speaker 2: video in the beginning of this is going to change
Speaker 2: as we get into the meat of this. That is
Speaker 2: because I actually recorded the episode that you are about
Speaker 2: to really get into many weeks ago, with a whole
Speaker 2: inner introduction about what I mean by having hands and
Speaker 2: all that. Who shot John? Like one of my parents
Speaker 2: used to say that all that who shot John? But
Speaker 2: it was recorded a while back, and I thought I
Speaker 2: was gonna have to scrap it because of how you
Speaker 2: know fast the news is going these days, But it
Speaker 2: turned out to become much more relevant, and now we're
Speaker 2: finding a place for it, so there's going to be
Speaker 2: a quality shift. Please forgive me as far as like
Speaker 2: this is concerned, it's also going to feel a little
Speaker 2: Just join it because I'm gonna jump into content right
Speaker 2: now before I explain what I mean by having hands,
Speaker 2: because that's gonna happen later on, and you following me,
Speaker 2: I don't want to edit this nice part into the
Speaker 2: junkie part, even though the junkie part ain't that junkie.
Speaker 1: It's just you understand what I'm saying. Life happened? You
Speaker 1: feel me?
Speaker 2: How was I supposed to know La was gonna catch
Speaker 2: on fire when I recorded that episode? I ain't know
Speaker 2: La was gonna catch on fire. I ain't know we
Speaker 2: was gonna have to stop what we was doing to
Speaker 2: talk about that.
Speaker 1: I ain't This episode is called do Eli Have Hands?
Speaker 1: All right, y'all? Do Eli have Hands?
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear a longer explanation later, but ultimately, like
Speaker 2: you know it, it usually people who talk a lot
Speaker 2: better know how to fight, and sometimes it's very funny
Speaker 2: with people that can talk a lot don't know how
Speaker 2: to fight. So you'll be like you ain't got no hands.
Speaker 2: So you're gonna hear a little bit more about that
Speaker 2: little later. But first, look, it's like this.
Speaker 1: Look is like this bull look is like this.
Speaker 2: Quite a busy week besides mid air crashes in Chocolate
Speaker 2: City that apparently is because of Dei Dei is clearly
Speaker 2: the new hard or you'll just be bouncing around. And
Speaker 2: I feel like I wonder if you I wonder if
Speaker 2: they hear themselves. Actually I think they hear themselves, which
Speaker 2: is why they're saying it, in the sense that the
Speaker 2: logic that they're putting forward is that you are either
Speaker 2: qualified or diverse. So that means there's two things that
Speaker 2: have to happen. Now you have to define what diverse means.
Speaker 2: And clearly we know what they mean because whenever a
Speaker 2: woman in charge, a person of colors in charge, a
Speaker 2: person that's differently able's in charge, or it gets the job,
Speaker 2: then you say it's the diversity higher. So what you're
Speaker 2: telling me is only white men are qualified. Everyone else's
Speaker 2: diversity in this world in your brain, you are either
Speaker 2: qualified or diverse higher.
Speaker 1: And I just like, what the hell kind of world
Speaker 1: you live in? What a tiny universe?
Speaker 2: Apparently, according to Trump, that's why the planes crashed and
Speaker 2: other news, the Lakers got Luca.
Speaker 1: Now I'm a miss ad. I ain't gonna hold you.
Speaker 2: The thing that had us all in shock and me
Speaker 2: and Sophie and in up all night on Sports Center
Speaker 2: just farming the internet trying to understand what the hell
Speaker 2: is happening is that if you've ever been hit on
Speaker 2: by somebody that is extremely hot or felt like this
Speaker 2: person is completely out of my league and you like,
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like I'm a catch, but like
Speaker 2: why you of all the people here? I can't why
Speaker 2: you hitting on me?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: What am I missing? Here? Like? Why is this?
Speaker 2: I seem to be gaining so much in this? What
Speaker 2: I don't understand? Am I missing something?
Speaker 1: Like? Or like is is it gonna turn out that you? Like?
Speaker 1: Are are you like a serial killer?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: What's wrong? Like there seems to be no downside for
Speaker 2: me in this? Why are you totally yo? I don't
Speaker 2: what am I missing? That's I think why most of
Speaker 2: us were in shock because we were like Lucas the MVP,
Speaker 2: why why are y'all trading him?
Speaker 1: And then for the Lakers.
Speaker 2: We was like, uh, we still ain't got a center,
Speaker 2: and it seemed as though everything we was clicking, like
Speaker 2: we was winning. Turned out Bron ain't no apparently, ad
Speaker 2: ain't anybody no this what's happened?
Speaker 1: Bron was like I found out what y'all found out?
Speaker 2: Its Grammy Week shout out, dude, She dark Skinned is back,
Speaker 2: Rhapsody one dark Skinned is back, and of course k
Speaker 2: dot dark Skin is back.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, Happy Black History Month. And I have
Speaker 2: zero interest in educating. I like, I spent too many
Speaker 2: years trying to teach you all about black history when
Speaker 2: I'm like, the Internet exists and there are hundreds of
Speaker 2: thousands of books written by people way smarter than me
Speaker 2: that you could just you could go find. I am
Speaker 2: now I think this this this Black History Month, I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna enjoy being black. That's what I'm gonna do
Speaker 2: this month. Although we do got an episode coming out
Speaker 2: on Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff where Magpie talks
Speaker 2: about the Haitian Revolution, which is, oh yes, she.
Speaker 1: Taught me some things. And now with too like that,
Speaker 1: I ain't know. I can't believe I even learned. I
Speaker 1: was like, dang, Magpie.
Speaker 2: Surprised to no one. DJ Academics is weird. Though now
Speaker 2: I may not be speaking to the right audience for this,
Speaker 2: because I'm not sure if the vast if I look
Speaker 2: at our I'm not sure the vast majority of people
Speaker 2: that listen to this show would know DJ Academics is
Speaker 2: for y'all that do though, you know he got kicked
Speaker 2: off twitch y'all see what happened. So I'm gonna try
Speaker 2: to make when black people say long story short, this
Speaker 2: is gonna be a long story, but long story short.
Speaker 2: So AQ was in his discord act as a hip
Speaker 2: hop like I mean, I say, i'd say journalists with
Speaker 2: a content creator. I mean, I would it almost cut
Speaker 2: my mouth to say journalists justin Hunt that's a journalist.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: So he's on his discord, some kid pops in, fifteen
Speaker 2: year old pops in the chat, pops in the stream.
Speaker 2: They start talking and he asked little Homie if he's
Speaker 2: gotten to the Yams yet, wink wink, and love Hummy
Speaker 2: was like, uh, I'm not of age, fan, like I know,
Speaker 2: like I'm a kid, you know, And then they start
Speaker 2: roasting him for not being able to get to the
Speaker 2: Yams yet. And these are grown men that are like
Speaker 2: roasting his key about like, damn you fifteen, you still
Speaker 2: ain't netflixed and chilled, like you still haven't done that?
Speaker 2: He like, I'm a kid, I just don't be you know.
Speaker 2: So then they roasting him. They roasting him. Now, when
Speaker 2: we were children around his age, the oh, the oh,
Speaker 2: the big hummies used to roast us about our yam's access,
Speaker 2: like on a porch at the park.
Speaker 1: Whatever.
Speaker 2: They were roast us. And I'm saying this to say
Speaker 2: this was bad. They shouldn't have talked to us like that.
Speaker 2: That would like we didn't know no better. It's probably
Speaker 2: why a lot of us had to get a better
Speaker 2: sexual ethic once we got older. Like a lot of
Speaker 2: us didn't learn what was appropriate or not appropriate until
Speaker 2: we were older, and we like had by that time,
Speaker 2: we had done so much damage, which was partially because
Speaker 2: they didn't know no better. So they was putting this
Speaker 2: thing on us that this is the problem. So one
Speaker 2: would think once you get our age that you like, oh,
Speaker 2: I ain't finna do the love hommy the way I
Speaker 2: was done, because of how it damaged us. This man
Speaker 2: doing it on the internet with thousands of people watching.
Speaker 2: So they teasing him whatever, like like you would tease
Speaker 2: a little homie, and little Homiy stood his ground like
Speaker 2: I don't think you should be talking to me like that.
Speaker 2: So then the person that this love homie mods for
Speaker 2: jumps on before he does that act, was like, yo,
Speaker 2: if would you like if if you if we hired
Speaker 2: you some some women of the night, would you be
Speaker 2: willing to get what if it was the guy that
Speaker 2: you mod for his sister?
Speaker 1: Would you get you a taste of the yams?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: And then he was like, well would you offer oral
Speaker 2: to the person you mod for? And Love Hommy was like,
Speaker 2: I really feel like you shouldn't talk to me like this,
Speaker 2: like I'm fifteen. So then the guy that he mods
Speaker 2: for jumps in and it's just like, my nigga, you
Speaker 2: why you what's wrong with you? Like why are you
Speaker 2: talking into this child like this? And then he jumps
Speaker 2: on his platform and he's like, listen, man, all the
Speaker 2: little yi ins yo, I'm saying all the little homies
Speaker 2: that follow me, like, don't let no grown men talk
Speaker 2: to you like this. That's absurd. Twitch kicked him off.
Speaker 2: They was like, you know, groomer head ass. Now I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get a little specific on that. I buck against
Speaker 2: calling every inappropriate situation grooming. For this reason, I come
Speaker 2: from an area where the term grooming came from, and
Speaker 2: grooming is something very specific. And I feel like when
Speaker 2: you stretch the term to too many things, the specificity
Speaker 2: of how heinous and evil grooming actually is gets diluted.
Speaker 2: It stretches the definition too far to which I can't
Speaker 2: identify this actual criminal in this academics is nasty. I
Speaker 2: don't think he was talking to this little like this
Speaker 2: for the purpose of having sex with him later. That's
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. That's the grooming thing, or setting him
Speaker 2: up to be exploited later, that's grooming. He crossed every
Speaker 2: possible line he needed to get kicked off, and like
Speaker 2: I said, act is a weird though. Let's talk about
Speaker 2: Elon Musk gets like this. So the episode you're about
Speaker 2: to hear is about his stance on immigration, on the
Speaker 2: specific type of immigration, which is called highly skilled right,
Speaker 2: a certain type of visa that Elon stood on business about.
Speaker 2: The question that is central to this is when you
Speaker 2: have two alphas. And I'm using the term alpha because
Speaker 2: it's just we've accepted that this is what we're talking
Speaker 2: about now. Granted, the science behind alpha and beta art.
Speaker 2: That stuff has been completely debunked. Thing about the wolves
Speaker 2: is just not true, right, Even the guy that wrote
Speaker 2: it was like, I was wrong.
Speaker 1: When the person that wrote the.
Speaker 2: Thing comes out and says, yo, I was wrong about that,
Speaker 2: maybe y'all should listen instead of building your whole platforms
Speaker 2: on it. When you have two big personalities like that,
Speaker 2: at some point somebody is going to become a subordinate,
Speaker 2: like somebody is going to be subjective. I think a
Speaker 2: good example for oh Hea, it would be like, you know,
Speaker 2: jay Z and Kanye, Like those are really big personalities.
Speaker 1: And not that they had a falling.
Speaker 2: Out per se, but those those two sizes of personalities
Speaker 2: just couldn't exist in the same It's against the laws
Speaker 2: of physics. They just could not exist together. Now, in politics,
Speaker 2: my thought was Donald Trump and Steve Bannon. I think
Speaker 2: why Steve Bannon didn't stay as long as he was
Speaker 2: is because he's too ambitious. You can't be that ambitious.
Speaker 2: In Trump's orb, he has to be the top G.
Speaker 2: I'm using these terms even though they I throw up
Speaker 2: a little in my mouth.
Speaker 1: But that's his these He has to be the top G.
Speaker 2: Like that's how he moves so with somebody like Elon, who, honestly,
Speaker 2: as far as business is concerned, as far as this
Speaker 2: late stage capitalism, let's be real, that man is tap
Speaker 2: dancing circles around Donald Trump as far as business is concerned.
Speaker 2: And I know Trump don't like that. What he do
Speaker 2: like is being around and having people up under him
Speaker 2: that make moves. The question is who was going back
Speaker 2: off first? That was always my question. Now I think
Speaker 2: Trump can't have no big dog in his org like that,
Speaker 2: and it's just a matter of time. But I keep
Speaker 2: being surprised as to how effective, if you will, Elon
Speaker 2: is maneuvering, how effective his inception has been over these years.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: The example, like I said you were about to hear,
Speaker 2: is the.
Speaker 1: H one B visa.
Speaker 2: But since that happened, so many other things happened, one
Speaker 2: of which was the Nazi thing that was clearly a
Speaker 2: Nazi thing that I feel like if I was autistic,
Speaker 2: I would be super offended that you're trying to blame
Speaker 2: that on that man's autism.
Speaker 1: Like I would be like, oh wait, wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: time out.
Speaker 2: You know, far be it from me to speak to
Speaker 2: the autistic population. But every autistic person, the person that
Speaker 2: roasts our beans is autistic. And when I tell you that,
Speaker 2: when he's into something, I tell you what I told him.
Speaker 2: This that's why he's such a good roaster is because
Speaker 2: the boy just gets minutia. There's a minutia that I
Speaker 2: don't have the patience for that his brain is perfectly
Speaker 2: dialed into. So if it is so to me, I'm like,
Speaker 2: it's not that that man would not know a Nazi
Speaker 2: salute when he's seen it.
Speaker 1: It would be that that man would know.
Speaker 2: Seventeen different versions of it and how it has evolved
Speaker 2: over time. But I think at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: like he's kind of a troll, so like there's there's
Speaker 2: the troll element of it, but patrol with the Nazi
Speaker 2: salute is some may't write, y'all, but I'm here to
Speaker 2: talk about some new things that happen. Is this has
Speaker 2: happened since I recorded the last episode, which I keep
Speaker 2: coming back to because apparently it's that's important to me.
Speaker 2: In Trump's overwhelming desire to make sure that there is
Speaker 2: only white men that run his situation sprinkle with a
Speaker 2: few blonde girls, and his desire to make sure that
Speaker 2: we in no means even look in areas that are
Speaker 2: diverse for expertise, to make sure that I'm not giving
Speaker 2: no money to no programs that could possibly maybe a
Speaker 2: little bit smell like or that it has any sort
Speaker 2: of just older of something that goes against the things
Speaker 2: that I stand for. I'm gonna stop it all and
Speaker 2: I'm a defunded And to his credit, now I need
Speaker 2: you to hear me. To his credit, because this is
Speaker 2: something that I've said about that man a few times.
Speaker 2: When he say he's gonna do something, he he.
Speaker 1: Don't be joking about it. And and that's the weird part.
Speaker 2: Like, Okay, I'm gonna go back to Kanye again when
Speaker 2: he said, Kanye say I'm a god, and they say, who.
Speaker 1: Do you think you are? Kanye say, I just told
Speaker 1: you a god. Trump say I'm gonna fire all these
Speaker 1: federal employees because they don't be rocking with my agenda,
Speaker 1: and y'all was like, by you, I mean they're you know,
Speaker 1: they work for the government. He's not gonna guys, He's
Speaker 1: not gonna fire federal employees because you need employees. You
Speaker 1: can't politic These are jobs that aren't politicized. These are
Speaker 1: jobs where you just work for you and he's like
Speaker 1: prosecuting me. Oh, he's not gonna he's just messing around.
Speaker 1: He's like, I just I just told y'all that's what
Speaker 1: I was gonna do.
Speaker 2: I don't understand what y'all don't understand the stupid little
Speaker 2: clip I posted, well, not I posted, but the Cool
Speaker 2: Zone team posted about taking Trump serious for the last episode.
Speaker 2: I was like this to y'all, need to check this
Speaker 2: man serious? When this man said I'm gonna figure out
Speaker 2: how to run a third term, and y'all all going
Speaker 2: Oskins Constitution.
Speaker 1: Like, I'm like, I don't understand.
Speaker 2: This is my point. Hey, They was dragging me in
Speaker 2: the comments. Y'all keep saying he's not gonna do that,
Speaker 2: he can't do that. What are you talking about? You
Speaker 2: don't understand that you can't do it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, did you hear what I was just saying
Speaker 1: to y'all? How many times have.
Speaker 2: You said he can't do that, or he won't do that,
Speaker 2: or he not gonna do that, and then he do it?
Speaker 2: And then the thing is I keep looking at y'all
Speaker 2: saying he said he was gonna do that. What I'm
Speaker 2: so confused as to what is confusing you? This is
Speaker 2: what he said he was gonna do. So I, for
Speaker 2: one take that man serious. Now I am not destroyed
Speaker 2: by him, but that's partially because I'm not waiting for
Speaker 2: ice agents to knock down my door. So when President
Speaker 2: Trump decided he was gonna fire all these federal employees,
Speaker 2: they were offered a resign now to be paid through September,
Speaker 2: and it stunned all the workers that received it. They
Speaker 2: were like, so you're gonna fire me, but if I
Speaker 2: just quit, you'll give me seven months pay. So some
Speaker 2: of them were like, you could stay on for seven
Speaker 2: months if you promised to quit, And they're like, what,
Speaker 2: I'm fired and I'm not fired?
Speaker 1: What so you firing me, but you want me to
Speaker 1: stay on you so you want me to train my replacement.
Speaker 2: But if a quit, you're gonna give me seven months pay?
Speaker 2: Are you really gonna give me seven months pay? The
Speaker 2: reason why you could ask that question is because don't
Speaker 2: that sound like the Twitter takeover? Is that not exactly
Speaker 2: what happened to Twitter? Well, if you quit, I'll let you.
Speaker 2: I'll pay you through your time to make sure we
Speaker 2: gets set up. Now, let me ask you this. Were
Speaker 2: they paid then?
Speaker 1: People wasn't paid, which leads me to this question, whose
Speaker 1: idea was that dude? Eli got hands? Is Elon more
Speaker 1: effective then I'm giving this man credit for. Is Trump just.
Speaker 2: Take Elon's ideas and putting his name on it but
Speaker 2: all of us can clearly see that this was Elon's idea?
Speaker 2: Or is this just Elon running the Doge?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: I did reading the Doge program that Elon was gonna
Speaker 2: get rid of pennies and honestly, no notes. I mean,
Speaker 2: what are we gonna do with pennies? They cost more
Speaker 2: to make than their worth. So I mean, I feel you.
Speaker 2: But how this man is able to wield his will
Speaker 2: on a person who seems to me like, don't listen
Speaker 2: to nobody.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of impressed Elon got.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, the FBI has a reddit. I
Speaker 2: don't know why that's so funny to me, but the
Speaker 2: FBI got a reddit.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: On the FBI Reddit, they were talking about ways for
Speaker 2: which to disguise your identity if you was going to
Speaker 2: start snitching and leaking things about this transition right.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: What the Doze team is doing is something that was
Speaker 2: reported by Okay, forgive me the Daily Beast, But they're
Speaker 2: reporting on this. Elon Musk is threatening to fire the
Speaker 2: employees who leak information as President Donald Trump unleash an
Speaker 2: unprecedented chaos in government. Now, clearly the term unprecedented chaos.
Speaker 2: It's a bit biased, it's a bit inflammatory. Also, what's
Speaker 2: happening On Sunday? A user posted on an anonymous operational
Speaker 2: security reminder on Reddit's fbi form with the advice for
Speaker 2: sharing information that can't be traced back to the source.
Speaker 2: The post claim that must staffers are using fingerprinting on
Speaker 2: emails and notices as a way of identifying information leakers. Now,
Speaker 2: this is essentially an email watermark, like adding a space
Speaker 2: here or making a typo. There are similar subtle changes
Speaker 2: to track leaks right on a post red. So what
Speaker 2: that means is like a good way to know that
Speaker 2: I'm texting you is an arbitrary capital word. I don't
Speaker 2: know why I do that.
Speaker 1: I just do.
Speaker 2: A ridiculous amount of spelling typos because a lot of
Speaker 2: times i'm I'm thinking fast, then I'm typing so like
Speaker 2: I'll send the thing, and then I realized this wasn't
Speaker 2: clear that I'll send something else. So it's so disjointed
Speaker 2: Sophie and then make fun of me all the time.
Speaker 2: Every show description, Ian re writes, I apologize to miss Cronin,
Speaker 2: to mister Pulicky, mister Jeffrey. These were my English teachers.
Speaker 2: They all said the same thing about me. This boy
Speaker 2: is so smart. If he would just slow down so
Speaker 2: they would know exactly who I was if I tried
Speaker 2: to email about this. So Elon went ahead and XT
Speaker 2: with regards to the leakers, if in doubt they are
Speaker 2: out right, meaning if I think maybe you was the
Speaker 2: one leaking this, we just fired you. But it's like fam,
Speaker 2: I'm finna get fired anyway. All I'm saying is Elon
Speaker 2: got hands. I think I've answered the question of the show.
Speaker 2: Do Elon got hands? And turns out the boy got hands?
Speaker 2: I knew we had finesse, I didn't think he had hands.
Speaker 2: All right, Now, let's watch the other episode for the
Speaker 2: rest of.
Speaker 3: This one, what's up all your little sucker MC's propagandha here, welcome.
Speaker 2: To twenty twenty five Editional Politics with pri Man twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four, Like twenty twenty four had hands, ain't no
Speaker 2: other way around it.
Speaker 1: There was a meme that came by my.
Speaker 2: Social media that I was like, yeah, this is the
Speaker 2: on there's a little like rudimentary, like late nineties computer
Speaker 2: drawing of a guy about the box. He was like,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm about to fight these thoughts. And then
Speaker 2: on the bottom it's got him sitting down in the
Speaker 2: corner of a ring, drinking his water saying, damn, brain
Speaker 2: got hands. Now, I don't know how many of y'all
Speaker 2: that that deeply resonates with, where you like, I was
Speaker 2: gonna fight all these negative thoughts, it gonna think positive,
Speaker 2: but your brain was like, no, hey, your whole life
Speaker 2: is trash and you never going out to anything. I
Speaker 2: don't know if your brain be telling you that your
Speaker 2: brain got hands twenty twenty four. Twenty twenty four was
Speaker 2: like what started off as so glorious. You know by
Speaker 2: this point you have heard the full edition of the
Speaker 2: State of the Blackness, and even in the State of
Speaker 2: the Blackness, of all the great things of that happened. Also,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four had hands. I mean not to I
Speaker 2: ain't even mention how horribly off key Alicia Keys saying
Speaker 2: at the Super Bowl like had hands. The question is
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean by half hands?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: I feel like by this context, you should already know
Speaker 2: what that means. Is like they punch hard, they fight well.
Speaker 2: Some people like fighting, like enjoy the adrenaline of like
Speaker 2: not in the angrily sense, but just in the contact,
Speaker 2: the testosterone of it all that they enjoy contact sports
Speaker 2: like like fighting, and a lot of times those are
Speaker 2: the people that get into you know, boxing or UFC
Speaker 2: or kickboxing. Like my one of my cousins, I don't
Speaker 2: know if I could call him a first cousin, is
Speaker 2: he a second cousin. He's my grandmother's sister. He's my
Speaker 2: dad's cousins child. But also our grandparents follow me are related,
Speaker 2: Like our grandfathers are brothers, but our grandmothers are sisters.
Speaker 2: So like two sisters married two brothers.
Speaker 1: So he's like a double cut.
Speaker 2: I don't know what you call that, Like he liked
Speaker 2: fighting like he and kickboxing like he's like he likes
Speaker 2: it the only d smoke like they like they like it,
Speaker 2: and he's good at it, like he's good. I I
Speaker 2: don't like it. Now, I have all the testosterone that
Speaker 2: one would expect from a cisgendered heterosexual boy from the
Speaker 2: East side, you know, east of the River Los Angeles like,
Speaker 2: I got all that, but I don't like Merse like Merse,
Speaker 2: Merks likes likes it, probably not anymore he's but either
Speaker 2: way for me, I'm like, I don't like I don't
Speaker 2: like it.
Speaker 1: I didn't like it. They don't like it.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Now, that don't mean I can't fight.
Speaker 2: Somebody that can't fight somebody that just the technique is
Speaker 2: all off. You're gonna get mopped because you're not like
Speaker 2: you just don't know how to fight that person.
Speaker 1: Don't have no hands.
Speaker 2: Another way to say is like even when they when
Speaker 2: they punch you, it don't hurt like this, just you
Speaker 2: ain't got hands, like you don't. And usually the advice
Speaker 2: for somebody that don't got hands is they should shut
Speaker 2: their mouth. You're right like, Unfortunately, it's a lot of
Speaker 2: people that talk a lot that ain't got hands, right like,
Speaker 2: and when you when you understand at least if you
Speaker 2: came up the way I came up, like my daddy
Speaker 2: would say, like mam, like, oh, folks, say you write
Speaker 2: in a check with your mouth that your butt can't cash,
Speaker 2: you know, So basically it's like, my dude.
Speaker 1: You you you you.
Speaker 2: Talking like you know how to fight you can't. You
Speaker 2: better be able to like, you know, damn it, like
Speaker 2: back up your We better be able to back it up.
Speaker 2: So you talk it like like you you have to
Speaker 2: have hands. That's just a short way to say this,
Speaker 2: like do we got hands?
Speaker 1: Like sneak got hands?
Speaker 2: Sometimes you find out the hard way of somebody got
Speaker 2: hands or not. I found out my wife refer to
Speaker 2: her by her prefix doctor al Mazara Goza petty got
Speaker 2: hands because this is this is me confessing about my
Speaker 2: spousal abuse. I am just kidding. I please, guys, I'm
Speaker 2: just kidding. But she got hands. It's not it was
Speaker 2: from us like messing around and you know, just playfully
Speaker 2: like she got hands. I was like, oh, I better
Speaker 2: not ever actually make her mad because we was smiling
Speaker 2: the whole time. But the question that makes this something
Speaker 2: that we could talk about all her politics is now,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, does Elon Musk have hands? So look
Speaker 2: this big old smile on my face? Talk about because yo,
Speaker 2: I think ya got hands? Now, hey, Elon fight. It
Speaker 2: depends on the type of fight we talk about. What
Speaker 2: I'm talking about is something obviously having to do with politics,
Speaker 2: and as you know, the premise of this show is.
Speaker 2: You know, if you understand in a city living, you
Speaker 2: understand politics. You get the way that the interactions between
Speaker 2: how politicians communicate to us, the way they communicate.
Speaker 1: To each other. You've the tools for which you use
Speaker 1: to broker power.
Speaker 2: This is just a refresher course for anybody who just
Speaker 2: coming into season four. If you've survived the lives the
Speaker 2: environments that I and a lot of my friends and
Speaker 2: cohorts have survived, then you understand politics more than you
Speaker 2: think when a person gets in power because of the
Speaker 2: way that our governmental system turns out to be set up.
Speaker 2: Because as y'all know, with the system of checks and
Speaker 2: balances and the three branches of government, it wasn't on paper,
Speaker 2: ain't supposed to work this way, but we got a
Speaker 2: strong man government, and with the electric boogoloo of Trump,
Speaker 2: it means that it's getting even more strong man because
Speaker 2: as we know, Trump's main thing is loyalty. Trump needs
Speaker 2: to be the top g Trump gotta be nobody, you know.
Speaker 2: He need to have the biggest shine, the biggest powered,
Speaker 2: the most TV. But I need all my love homies
Speaker 2: to be able to not just handle my light work,
Speaker 2: but you need to be able to be as flashy,
Speaker 2: as strong as dope as I am, but also loyal
Speaker 2: to the top g like I need to know that.
Speaker 2: Like you need to shine but not outshine me. But
Speaker 2: if you're a boss, you got to surround yourself with
Speaker 2: people that are boss like, right, but not too boss like,
Speaker 2: because if you too boss like, then it's trouble in paradise. Now,
Speaker 2: a lot of us who've been watching this, this bromance
Speaker 2: between Elon Musk and Trump were predicting the inevitable, inevitable
Speaker 2: power struggle. And the question that was coming up in
Speaker 2: my mind is do Elon got hands like or is
Speaker 2: Trump gonna do what he always does when somebody get
Speaker 2: a little too much juice?
Speaker 1: You gone, I'm gonna get you out the org.
Speaker 2: I felt like that was the question that was eventually
Speaker 2: about to about to hit us all you are because
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, whether whether Naga wants
Speaker 2: to believe it or not, a tech bro billionaire is
Speaker 2: a strange bedfellow. It's a strange bedfellow, even stranger than
Speaker 2: our history of oil tycoons being your bad fellow. That's
Speaker 2: a weird crew to being because at some point your
Speaker 2: loyalties are gonna split because money likes money. Now, I
Speaker 2: feel like you don't need to be from the streets
Speaker 2: to know that there's an inevitable which I mean, is
Speaker 2: y'all paying attention, especially with old Luigi, an inevitable class
Speaker 2: consciousness that is going to I mean again, I'm just
Speaker 2: this is just my antent is it's going to be
Speaker 2: in my mind. The story of twenty twenty five is
Speaker 2: a class consciousness for two reasons. One because it's what
Speaker 2: Trump is counting on. I mean, he he's a nativist,
Speaker 2: you know. Uses I'm not gonna use too many of
Speaker 2: the big old words because I need to get to
Speaker 2: the point I'm trying to get to, which is the
Speaker 2: question is it turns out or not?
Speaker 1: The question to answer that turns out? Elon got hands.
Speaker 2: But you know, with the nativist populist you know, America first,
Speaker 2: taking care the little guy type beat that Trump ran on,
Speaker 2: while at the same time right in your face having
Speaker 2: multiple billionaires right next to you. And the thing about
Speaker 2: these billionaires that are right next to you, they mask
Speaker 2: off about it. They like, now we rich, we just
Speaker 2: we just be using our money to help y'all, And
Speaker 2: while full well knowing they not doing it like that's.
Speaker 1: Thereaeness of it all.
Speaker 2: The question only for me was where is the riff
Speaker 2: gonna start? Where is this power struggle really gonna be
Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, in my mind,
Speaker 2: I'm like billionaires going billionaire, right, and Trump gets to
Speaker 2: the money. And remember, like, even if you was convincing
Speaker 2: these lower educational lower not as a disc I'm just
Speaker 2: saying as a factual point, but lower ses Americans that
Speaker 2: Trump is your guy by saying I'm gonna stop immigration,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop you know what I'm saying, these foreign
Speaker 2: workers taking your jobs.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop this invasion.
Speaker 2: At the border, right, And like with that, at the helm,
Speaker 2: where is the beef gonna show up?
Speaker 1: Where is the power come struggle gonna happen?
Speaker 2: I thought at some point it was probably gonna be
Speaker 2: over popularity.
Speaker 1: And that's one.
Speaker 2: Way that that Trump is being trolled right now by
Speaker 2: them Food's calling Elon president Elon right, So I thought
Speaker 2: that I was like, oh, there's the crack right there,
Speaker 2: and this was gonna get Elon ejected.
Speaker 1: But you know why I thought.
Speaker 2: That is because I thought Elon ain't have I thought
Speaker 2: to me, Elon in here about his money and the
Speaker 2: reason why he lined up with Trump like this was
Speaker 2: just for him. I'm thinking, I get what he doing this.
Speaker 2: This shit is pragmatic, like I'm on line with this
Speaker 2: big dog to get what I need for what I'm
Speaker 2: doing to work, work, work with my own program. That's
Speaker 2: why it made sense to me. He know he can't
Speaker 2: be president, he's not born here. The riff would happen
Speaker 2: over there, over his popularity. Turns out it was over immigration,
Speaker 2: and it turns out Elon got hands and we talk
Speaker 2: about it next.
Speaker 1: All right, So what I'm talking about is.
Speaker 2: H one B visas. Now, there's multiple types of visas.
Speaker 2: If you're coming into this country, if you're immigrating legally
Speaker 2: into this country, right, you have certain types of visas.
Speaker 1: There's an H one and an H two.
Speaker 2: Elon got on his platform that he purchased right with
Speaker 2: this banger of the quote, the reason I'm in America,
Speaker 2: along with many other critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla
Speaker 2: and hundreds of others that made America strong.
Speaker 1: Is because of H one B. Take a big step
Speaker 1: back and fuck yourself in the face. What a weird
Speaker 1: way to say that.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I will go to war on this issue, the
Speaker 2: likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.
Speaker 1: What the hell is he talking about. H one B
Speaker 1: is a type of.
Speaker 2: Visa that one gets for what they call highly skilled workers. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read some stuff here for you, y'all, for
Speaker 2: you to know exactly what I mean by that.
Speaker 1: So, an H one B is a category of a
Speaker 1: temporary work authorized category which authorizes the employment of professionals
Speaker 1: who will work in a specialty occupation position.
Speaker 2: And the H one B eligibility requires an offer of
Speaker 2: employment from a US employer in a specialty occupation right now,
Speaker 2: the USCIS defines specialty occupation as a position which requires
Speaker 2: a theoretical and practical application of specialized knowledge right and
Speaker 2: required at minimum to have a bachelor's degree in a
Speaker 2: specialty for entry of profession right now. There's only a
Speaker 2: limited number of these available for in a fiscal year. Now,
Speaker 2: the way to get those, because there's only a limited
Speaker 2: number of them is a.
Speaker 1: Lottery, believe it or not, peak the name out of that.
Speaker 2: Hopefully you get to thank And since there's a like
Speaker 2: I said, there's a lotteries since there's only a limited number. Okay,
Speaker 2: if the name Forum National on an H one B
Speaker 2: petition has ever held an H one B status right
Speaker 2: within the last six years, then the position is subject
Speaker 2: to like the H one B cap. Right now, a
Speaker 2: total of eighty five thousand CAP subject H one b's
Speaker 2: are available per government fiscal year. The cap related H
Speaker 2: one b's are allocated like this. There's fifty seven thousand
Speaker 2: available all qualifying be beneficiaries. There's twenty seven thousand available
Speaker 2: to graduates holding US master's degrees or higher. Meaning you
Speaker 2: from another country, you came here for school, got a
Speaker 2: master's degree. Now you want to work here, but remember
Speaker 2: you don't live here. So right now you was on
Speaker 2: a student visa and then after that you got to
Speaker 2: switch to a work visa. Now that you've got a
Speaker 2: master's degree, should be able to stay here and work
Speaker 2: the country that you've been going to school in, right,
Speaker 2: but you only stay for a certain amount of time
Speaker 2: and then, which is so weird. There's eight thousand available
Speaker 2: for nationals of Singapore and Chile.
Speaker 1: This just throw them countries it right now.
Speaker 2: Although the law does not specifically say what it considers
Speaker 2: to be specialty occupations, again, they're defined as specialized knowledge
Speaker 2: that takes a bachelor's degree or higher. You know, when
Speaker 2: you call into an it thing and it's a I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a trope. Now and the person on the phone
Speaker 2: has a thick Indian accent, that's an H one B.
Speaker 1: Visa. You work for an American company.
Speaker 2: A lot of times the company has a footprint here,
Speaker 2: but they're allowed to hire foreign skilled workers based on
Speaker 2: this visa to work for this company.
Speaker 1: Now Elon is.
Speaker 2: Saying, I don't care what the hell you ran on
Speaker 2: American jobs, factory workers.
Speaker 1: I don't care about none of that. I don't care
Speaker 1: what JD. Van said.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care about none of that.
Speaker 2: Fuck yourself in the face. All care about Billy Bob
Speaker 2: and little baby Billy. I don't care about none of
Speaker 2: them in your little heartland of America. I ain't even
Speaker 2: from America.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 2: I need people that can do this job. And this
Speaker 2: is why I'm here. I came to America to get
Speaker 2: to the Yams fam and I'm gonna get to people
Speaker 2: I need to get you know why, because I get
Speaker 2: to the bread. But back with the same thing, I
Speaker 2: don't care what you ran on. So now Trump in
Speaker 2: this position because the other side of his crew because
Speaker 2: he wanted to keep the billionaires because they keep the
Speaker 2: bread coming in. The billionaires. Is like, I don't care
Speaker 2: about your immigration shit. Do you know the H two
Speaker 2: H H two visa is that's to be able to
Speaker 2: work in agriculture. So right now, currently, at this very moment,
Speaker 2: according to the New York Times, Trump is offering over
Speaker 2: a thousand h two visas for his vineyard for the
Speaker 2: Trump Wine Vineyard fifteen bucks an hour.
Speaker 1: But he running on I'm here for the locals.
Speaker 2: So you got people like Steven Miller and Steven Bannon
Speaker 2: and Steve Bannon who've been trying to say this for
Speaker 2: years that H one be as a scam. He's like, look,
Speaker 2: you not hireing Americans, and the people you bringing in
Speaker 2: you can.
Speaker 1: Pay them far less. So what's happening is the same
Speaker 1: stuff that we say about Margaret farm workers is the
Speaker 1: same thing they saying is happening in the tech world
Speaker 1: in Silicon Valley. I could hire these foreign workers because
Speaker 1: I gotta pay them as much. They can't leave the
Speaker 1: city because you only allowed to beware this particular they
Speaker 1: can't go nowhere. These people that come work for you
Speaker 1: on an H one B visa. They can't apply nowhere
Speaker 1: else because they would lose their visa. You gotta be here.
Speaker 1: You gotta work for their company. And I got you
Speaker 1: for three years, and you probably most skilled than everybody
Speaker 1: else in.
Speaker 2: Here, and I could pay you less, and you don't
Speaker 2: necessarily gotta live here, so I ain't even got to
Speaker 2: pay you an American living wage. Steve Bannon is like
Speaker 2: fam I thought we was here for us.
Speaker 1: I thought we was what what is we doing? So
Speaker 1: this means you got the maga wing? That's like my
Speaker 1: g my g I thought we was building a wall.
Speaker 1: What happened to the wall?
Speaker 2: I thought we was about American jobs, which I hope
Speaker 2: you hear the subtext, which is like, oh, I mean
Speaker 2: y'all could turn a wrench. I don't mind you turning
Speaker 2: a wrench, but you can't work in management. Y'all cost
Speaker 2: too much. But I definitely hire these foreign workers. I
Speaker 2: ain't got to pay them as much, and they kind
Speaker 2: of know what they're doing. See the ill thing about
Speaker 2: I mean, you say what you will. There's two types.
Speaker 1: Of races to be.
Speaker 2: There's the pragmatic races and then there's the principled racist.
Speaker 2: That principled racist was how Oregon, when it was a
Speaker 2: whites only state, didn't allow slavery. They said, we don't.
Speaker 2: We want to be a free state. We don't allow
Speaker 2: slavery in our in our state. But they said that
Speaker 2: because they just didn't even want to live next to
Speaker 2: black people. And then there's the pragmatic ones that's like, well,
Speaker 2: we here for the bread. I don't I don't care
Speaker 2: if you from a trash country, if you could do
Speaker 2: the job, like I really don't. I mean, if you're
Speaker 2: making me money, I'll pay you whatever you need to
Speaker 2: pay because I'm here for the bread.
Speaker 1: I ain't gotta like you. I don't even gotta look
Speaker 1: at you. I'm here for the bread.
Speaker 2: So it creates this again, this class consciousness I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, uh, are you gonna.
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 2: Like, so we're gonna do this billionaire thing, because if
Speaker 2: we do the billionaire thing, guess what, nothing changes.
Speaker 1: You voted, You're like you ran on the you ran
Speaker 1: for truy. Nothing changed because he's still gonna get foreign workers.
Speaker 1: I thought you was running like nothing gonna change. You
Speaker 1: run a billionaire, you run a billionaire gambit if he
Speaker 1: don't run a billionaire Gabbitt, and he do the nativist thing.
Speaker 1: He lose the bread because the billionaires had the most
Speaker 1: power of what you're gonna do, what you're gonna do.
Speaker 1: There's trouble in paradise. Now.
Speaker 2: Will they be able to solve H one B and
Speaker 2: this visa, this legal immigration visa situation in any time soon? No,
Speaker 2: They've been talking about it since the freaking Bush administration.
Speaker 2: You're not finna figure this out. Some of you may
Speaker 2: push back and say, he wasn't arguing about legal immigration,
Speaker 2: he was arguing about illegal immigration. Well, you know, asylum
Speaker 2: seekers are legal immigration also, So in a lot more
Speaker 2: going on there.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: The pushback to H one B is as we've can
Speaker 2: even hear Steve Bannon say, which is like you're discriminating
Speaker 2: against US citizens. And matter of fact, Facebook had to
Speaker 2: settle a lawsuit where Facebook settled a claim. I'm reading
Speaker 2: this from immigrationhistory dot org.
Speaker 1: They had to settle in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: They had to settle a claim with the Department of
Speaker 2: Justice that they discriminated against US workers in favor of
Speaker 2: temporary visa holders, and the company paid four point seventy
Speaker 2: five million in civil penalty and set aside nine point
Speaker 2: five million for eligible victims. Another one of the pushbacks is, yeah,
Speaker 2: like the slave wages things. It's like, you can't if
Speaker 2: you're here on one of them visas, you can't go nowhere.
Speaker 2: You can't move right, and I don't have to pay
Speaker 2: you American level wages. You just happy to be in
Speaker 2: the building. So Trump, who has been telling us for
Speaker 2: the last eight years that immigration is the problem elon
Speaker 2: jump up and say, hold up, but I like this
Speaker 2: type of immigration.
Speaker 1: Do he got hands?
Speaker 2: Turns out absolutely because what Trump said was, and I quote,
Speaker 2: I've always liked the H one program. I love those visas,
Speaker 2: I've used them.
Speaker 1: Which is not necessarily true. He didn't always love it.
Speaker 2: He used to say he was gonna end it, and
Speaker 2: then turned his tail in twenty nineteen because at first
Speaker 2: he tried to stop it, but then later he was like, look, dude,
Speaker 2: if you graduate, if you're a foreign citizen and you
Speaker 2: graduate from a US university, you should immediately get a
Speaker 2: green card. That's one thing Trump say. Now, so he
Speaker 2: at this point, I mean, he on the billionaire side. Now,
Speaker 2: the question to me is like, who do that?
Speaker 1: Surprise you? Don't you? Did you who who? Who? Who?
Speaker 2: Didn't expect this man to go where the bread is?
Speaker 2: I know I did I expect him to go where
Speaker 2: the bread is. But the question is, you know, when
Speaker 2: worst come to worst, do his people come first? Which
Speaker 2: asked by the Great profits Havoc and prodigy of mob Deep,
Speaker 2: do your people come first? I mean, you've been saying
Speaker 2: that for a year and a half. It sounded like
Speaker 2: the bread come first, and it sound like sounds like
Speaker 2: Elon got hands. Now is this just a silly little squirmish,
Speaker 2: a little food fight among you know, restlessness within the house.
Speaker 1: Maybe.
Speaker 2: What's crazy though, which is really blowing my mind is
Speaker 2: Trump has made the state that like, oh he not
Speaker 2: changing the h one visas? And nobody mad at Trump?
Speaker 2: They mad at Elon. This man got a death grip.
Speaker 2: Nobody mad Ain't nobody blaming Trump for that. They are
Speaker 2: mad at Elon, Like Elon, why'd you tell him that?
Speaker 1: Bro?
Speaker 2: So everybody turned everybody mad at Elon for saying the obvious,
Speaker 2: even though Trump the only one that could press played.
Speaker 1: But y'all not mad at Trump. Y'all mad at Elon. Now.
Speaker 2: The last point I'm making this is that Elon ain't
Speaker 2: in the Congress. So no matter what any of them
Speaker 2: are talking about, any policy, it's got to get through
Speaker 2: the Congress. Now, obviously, Trump is in a situation where
Speaker 2: you know, his team is up, so it's very possible
Speaker 2: that the things for which he might desire to pull
Speaker 2: to pull off it becomes that much more easier.
Speaker 1: However, what I have found.
Speaker 2: Is no matter who's in charge, when you start messing
Speaker 2: up the money, it seems as though nothing really changes that.
Speaker 2: And then also my second last thing is this may
Speaker 2: not be the only little tiff that Elon and Trump have.
Speaker 2: Who knows, or maybe maybe they're absolutely in love, who knows.
Speaker 2: What we know is we can't really predict much right now.
Speaker 2: I mean, the nigga's not even president yet. Like let's
Speaker 2: remember that he's not even there yet. Well, actually, by
Speaker 2: the time this comes out, he is. The point I'm
Speaker 2: saying is it's only like day two, So prediction as
Speaker 2: to like how this stuff's gonna go later is silly.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, but.
Speaker 2: I tell you this, if you ain't figure it out
Speaker 2: in this situation, you should have known when that man
Speaker 2: bought Twitter, Elon got hands, he gonna.
Speaker 1: He gonna do what he gonna do.
Speaker 3: M hm.
Speaker 1: Hm h m hm h m hm. I just wonder
Speaker 1: where this fight gonna go.
Speaker 2: I just wonder how long it's gonna take, how you know,
Speaker 2: if they gonna if he's gonna continue to, you know,
Speaker 2: throw hands.
Speaker 1: What's y'all think? What y'all think?
Speaker 2: Anyway, just for a little bit of history and you
Speaker 2: know your education, the H two So the H two
Speaker 2: visus you could go to like Immigranthistory dot org. So
Speaker 2: H two that's the one that where Mike farm workers
Speaker 2: come from. So the H two visa program was built
Speaker 2: on a World War two era arrangements that was established
Speaker 2: by I don't know if you knew this, the War
Speaker 2: Food Administration. Did you know that that was a thing
Speaker 2: that brought guest workers from the Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, and
Speaker 2: other Caribbean islands to labor under contracts similar to those
Speaker 2: established by the US Mexico Bracero program bakhettal through the
Speaker 2: nineteen forties, thousands of Caribbean guest workers. Did you know
Speaker 2: this landed on the East Coast farms from Florida to
Speaker 2: the northeast. The nineteen fifty two Immigration and Nationality Act
Speaker 2: provided the statutory language to make these arrangements permanent with
Speaker 2: non immigrant visa categories, so it's a work visa right.
Speaker 2: Unlike previous government to government labor programs, the H two
Speaker 2: visa program allowed US employers to recruit workers follow me
Speaker 2: directly from any country once the Attorney General accepted petitions,
Speaker 2: which gave employers direct control over their guest workers VISUS.
Speaker 1: Yo, I need you to understand. While you mad at immigrants,
Speaker 1: your government set up the system. I'm just this is
Speaker 1: just what happened the end of the day. Like I said,
Speaker 1: turns out Elon got hands.
Speaker 2: So while I was thinking that at some point Elon
Speaker 2: was gonna feel a little too froggy and Trump was
Speaker 2: gonna throw hands in him, turns out Elon said, hold up, homie,
Speaker 2: hold up, you ain't gonna mess with my meal. You
Speaker 2: ain't finna get in between my meal. Homie, keep in
Speaker 2: mind the onlyest reason I got behind you. What's so
Speaker 2: that my meals stay right? And I got hands on it?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: Politics, all right, Now, don't you hit stop on this pod.
Speaker 2: You better listen to these credits. I need you to
