1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: A media. So the following series is called Lessons from 2 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: the Big Three. I will, if you don't already know, 3 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: explain who these people are and why I feel like 4 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: they have something to teach us about politics. I'm not 5 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: going to go into it in this intro, but I 6 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: do want to say that because you're going to hear 7 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: about all of it through this whole thing. If you 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: don't know what it is this moment in culture, you know, 9 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: if I were conspiracy theory, build would be one that 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: would make me to believe that you're trying to make 11 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: us not pay. 12 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: Attention to collects. 13 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: But I ain't that conspiracy theory pild But also even 14 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: our discussions of pop culture and things that we just 15 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: find funny actually have a level of sophistication that we 16 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: are going to draw out in this series. So Part 17 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: one is just going to be an overall of some 18 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: big picture stuff, like when you every once in a 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: while when you have to zoom up ten thousand feet 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: and be like, yo, what are we doing here? Part 21 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: two has to do with our particular election and strategies 22 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: that have to do with running for office. And then 23 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: part three, oh, we got to go back to Israel 24 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: and talk about he wasn't outside. Now, I recorded this 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: as it was happening, and which means that some of 26 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: this stuff will be old news. Part three is about 27 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: Iran jumping into seemingly jumping into this Israeli war and 28 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: then Iran saying, don't clap back, and then they actually 29 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: clapped back. So it's which as today, which is four nineteen. 30 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: You probably don't hear this that episode until May, but 31 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: just know that it was recorded in time. And as 32 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm so mature this year and so far 33 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: ahead of y'all that I have to come back and 34 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: record these intros. So lessons from the Big Three Part one. 35 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: This is future me, not as in metro Bloom. In 36 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: the future. I don't need to be corny like that. 37 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: You get it, all right? 38 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: Oh man? What I tell you about them cold fans. 39 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: You can't argue with j Cole fans, there's no oh man, 40 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: Big three. Yeah, there are some lessons that we can 41 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: learn in this politics, y'all. All right. I was gonna 42 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: sit here and talk about the abortion issues happening in 43 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: Arizona and then ultimately what that what that means for 44 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: the country and the state of mind our country is 45 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: in which is not one that's not hard for any 46 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: of us to understand. But when you when you're when 47 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: you're so far into the weeds, it's it's really difficult 48 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: to like peek your head out and get a get 49 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: a some perspective. And that's what i want to do 50 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: right now. Like I'm gonna use the Big Three, which 51 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: was such a great diversion in some ways from the 52 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,119 Speaker 1: slow drift to oblivion that we're experiencing in our politics. 53 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: And then it turned around and reminded me of the 54 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: slow drift of oblivion into our politics. Sometimes sometimes the 55 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: way my brain works could get a little annoying, but 56 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: it's also why you listen to this podcast because how 57 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: my brain works. We don't have many heroes as black 58 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: men who choose to make the right decisions. Oftentimes it's 59 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 1: because our heroes were assassinated or because they turn out 60 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: to be diddy. I'm saying this because I'm laughing. I'm 61 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: giggling at it because you have to understand, again, black 62 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: people don't take much serious. And part of why we 63 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: don't take a lot serious is it's really just trauma. 64 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: You know, we just we it's pain, you know, it's hurtful. 65 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: We The thing is, like I want to believe the 66 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: best in Diddy, Like I want to believe that he's 67 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: just a freak like that is like that none of 68 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: this was actually he wasn't really like trafficking girls that 69 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: they were all consensual. He just he's just he's just 70 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: got kinks. That's what I want to believe, you know, 71 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: And it's just probably not the case. So the best 72 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: thing we could do is just make memes, especially at 73 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: his man flying away looking like George Bush flying over 74 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: Katrina like what is such? Peter Rest and any back 75 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: in the hood at top Golf to try to show 76 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: y'all like, Nigga, I ain't scared, come give me you 77 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,559 Speaker 1: know where I'm at. I'm in the hood right now, 78 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: Like that's a real I'm in the hood right now. 79 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,119 Speaker 1: And then this in the midst of that, we get 80 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: a patriotic Beyonce album, which was also a great breath 81 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: of fresh air. From what I understand, they was passing 82 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: out American flags at the at the listening party, and 83 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: if you my boy Merse, you know, he's like this 84 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: is a distraction, Like you trying to get black people 85 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: uninvolved with politics. You're trying to turn it. Watch why 86 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: Beyonce all of a sudden doing country music. You're trying 87 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: to be You're trying to distract us from the struggle. 88 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Merse, I ain't mean to do the voice 89 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: like that because I mean, it's possible Nigga like you 90 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: might be on the So I just don't think all 91 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: these people court, I just don't think they that organized that. However, 92 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: they are are coordinated enough to do that. But yeah, 93 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: you're right, like if if the Feds raised your house 94 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: and Nigga you at top Golf, then something else happening, 95 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And if you could weaponize Beyonce, 96 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: you know, if you if you could get her on 97 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: your side, like Nigga, don't nobody care a little pump, 98 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

Like I'm not saying she would, 101 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: but for her to be all patriotic on this book 102 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: and maybe not patriotics, she just being she like country music, 103 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: black music. I don't care what you say, which is true, 104 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, but obviously I don't want to smoke with 105 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: the bay Hive.

But 138 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: I also get it either. I had to scroll through 139 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: the comments to realize what was going on. So let 140 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: me catch you all up and then we're going to 141 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: talk about what this has to do with abortion, politics 142 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: and where we are as a nation. 143 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: All right. 144 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: Again, you have to understand that, I truly believe that, 145 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: like the discourse, even in pop culture within the black 146 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: and brown community is almost predictive. We are so equipped 147 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: to understand politics. It's a very obviously it's the cornerstone 148 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: of the show. There's a sophistication in this conversation that 149 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: were about to discuss that I know most people wouldn't 150 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: think about because it's just so fun. And I'm gonna 151 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: get out to the fact that it's just fun because 152 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: it's even fun for me, Like this is I mean, 153 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: this is what I come from. I love all this. 154 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: But anyway, there's a sophistication here, so it's not a stretch. 155 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: It maybe I'm saying this to myself, it might feel 156 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: like a stretch, but it's now among at least for 157 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: the last decade, the leaders of the pack in like 158 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: hip hop, hip hop, like rapping ass niggas. Obviously, Drake 159 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: Drake's one of the biggest artists on Earth. And then 160 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: there's Kendrick Lamar stratosphere, right, and then there's j Cole. 161 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: Now obviously this is Big Shawn E Raser, which is 162 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: really not fair because the nigga's amazing. If we were 163 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: talking basketball, if we're talking Jordan, Kobe or Lebron that 164 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: is obviously Steph Curry does that? You follow with me, 165 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: Kendrick Drake Cole As if Big Sean don't exist. Now, 166 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: if we're doing sheer numbers, Cole's not in the conversation. 167 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: If we're doing sheer numbers, we're doing if we're just 168 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: talking numbers, it's it's Drake and Kendrick. And even with that, 169 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: it's like, uh, Drake's a pop artist. Like, let's not 170 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: like he's a rapper. Don't get me wrong, a boy 171 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: care rap. He's a pop artist, right, It's it's Michael 172 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: Jackson and Prince right. Like, so I've said this even 173 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: in my book, like that, I'm like that that I 174 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: went the Prince route. Like I say this all the time, 175 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: Like you could be Michael Jackson, you could be Prince, 176 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: you could be Kendrick, or you could be Drake. It's 177 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: the same principle. Like Drake's essentially a pop artist. But 178 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: like it's not like it's not like he can't wrap 179 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: his ass off. He's just he just makes catchy pop music. 180 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: Kendrick's a different animal. He's the Compton kid, you know 181 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He he makes what he makes and 182 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: it's just so deep and powerful and good and resonant 183 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: that like it just creeps to the top. So Kendrick 184 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: has no Kendrick in a lot of ways. It's cut 185 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: from a cloth that I'm cut from. He's of a 186 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: different eraror. He's a disruptor. He's competitive, but he's very quiet. 187 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: He don't be on Instagram. He pops out for his 188 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: shows and then he goes home. He ain't got no 189 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: big old entourage. He is a street nigga, but he 190 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: real quiet, complete introvert. He's not flashy. Of course he 191 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: got his of course he's not without scandal. He's not 192 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: without his name. But it's just he don't be on 193 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: the internet like that. He's a creative. He don't. You 194 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: don't see him in no paparazzi. He's like, that's just 195 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: not his life. He don't do that right. But he's 196 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: never backed down from a battle. So whether we're talking 197 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: about his Control verse, where he did basically fifty two 198 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: bars and dissed everyone Big Sean Jay Electronica, like everyone 199 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: calls himself the King of New York. Like I don't care, 200 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: Like this is competition, nigga, Like get your bars up. 201 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm trying to raise the ball. I just want everybody 202 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: to get dope, like come on full. He's the homie 203 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: that's like you know this nigga right now, Like that's 204 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: the running joke. This nigga right now is doing like 205 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: you know, Cholo Prison Burpies at the park right now. 206 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: He just I'm different, you feel me? He come from that. 207 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: And then Drake has been like sort of like subliminally 208 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: jabbing at Kendrick for years. Kendrick don't care Kendrick name's name, 209 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: so his beet cipher verse was clearly about Drake. So 210 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: with this this, I'm taking y'all back a while right 211 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: during this time, I mean, this is before. This is 212 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: when both of both Kendrick and j Cole had short hair, 213 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: when they still had they still had fades. They were 214 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: talking about at some point doing a tape together, doing 215 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: the mixtape together, like they have been friends this whole time, 216 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: right at least that's what it seems like, because in 217 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: a lot of ways, Cole was on the same trajectory 218 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: as Kendrick. This is more thinking man's music. You know, 219 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: we're from the streets, but it's like we're trying to 220 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: put good in the world. As an aside to Cole 221 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: very much, he's a lot like Odyssey. I would like 222 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: y'all to Google, take your time to go look up 223 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: Odyssey and his music and his whole persona around like 224 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: riding bikes everywhere, and his production just's Cole is clearly 225 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: influenced by Odyssey, which is a great person to be 226 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: influenced by. I'm a huge Odyssey fan anyway. So it 227 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: was understood that they were, you know, friends, and I 228 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: think us as fans wanted to picture these two guys 229 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: that were like totally not like everybody else on the radio, 230 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, doing the things that they were doing as like, oh, 231 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: this is dope, Like this is like the new gen 232 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: at the time, is like this is a new era. 233 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: And then there's Drake, who's just an international pretty boys star. Right. 234 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: So eventually the fandoms developed ten years later and we 235 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: got we've got our teams, We've got our arguments with this. 236 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: This is now we're in the barbershop. We're arguing about 237 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: who's the best. There is obviously a discussion around who 238 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: are there's always gonna be like a top five, and 239 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: essentially Cole was always kind of like kind of like 240 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: third place when it came to this this you know, 241 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: like he's but either way, these are the big three now. 242 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: Cole acknowledges it on a song with Drake right in 243 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: the songs called First Person Shooter. Okay, Cole acknowledges that 244 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: like Okay, Kendrick, Drake, and Cole are essentially like the 245 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: Big three, like the league that Ice Cube made, which 246 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: was my confusion, and this was this was a song 247 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: that they put out. And remember, as far as we know, 248 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: Drake and Kendrick don't really get along. They just fundamentally 249 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: see the world different. I'm gonna catch y'all love what 250 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: happened in the past few weeks. Kendrick puts out a verse. 251 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: He puts out a song. Well it's actually not even 252 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: his song. It's a song with Metro Blooming and Future 253 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: and they're just featuring Kendrick and the songs called like 254 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: that and it's sampled Rodney Oh's Everlasting bass, So that's 255 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: a Compton sample. Don da dun Dunt dunn dun don 256 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: and then and it's a regular like it's a Future song, 257 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, and like remember Future got a whole tape 258 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 1: with Drake. It's there's so much we don't know happening. 259 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: And then Kendrick comes on and this ZGA was like 260 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 1: I chose violence. He just starts ripping Drake to shreds, 261 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: and in that there's these jabs at Cole, and the 262 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: final jab is because Cole is the one that said 263 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: we're the Big three. Kendrick goes, motherfuck the Big three, bitch, 264 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: I'm the big Me. Ain't no big three nigga is me. 265 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: You have to remember again, Kendrick has a history of 266 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: being like nigga, this is hip hop. Like nah, fam nigga, 267 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: you not as good as me, because like, stop talking 268 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: about Big three. No, we not equals me and you 269 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: are not the same. Homeboy.

Cause 272 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: that's all these these sightings of Andre three thousand walking 273 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: around New York and he's got a flute, and then 274 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: he put out the Flute album. So he's like, you 275 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: don't walk around with the stick.

Now that hasn't 286 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: happened at that scale since then. There's been rappers that 287 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: have died over beef, but a lot of shit had 288 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: more to do with the streets than anything. Right, But 289 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: rap beefs have been glorious. They have been things in 290 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: the history of hip hop that have been have pumped 291 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 1: life into the culture. It has helped everybody sell more 292 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: records and it gets us talking, right. There was the 293 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: famous Nas and jay Z beef with the Ether and 294 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: and and the beef went for a while and then 295 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: obviously they squashed it. Right then there was other beefs 296 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: that y'all remember that that y'all remember with you know, 297 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: Drake and Meek Mill. There was Drake and push a 298 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: te and even with Cole it was calling no name, 299 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like he apologized or let 300 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: me let me fast forward. Wait, wait, let me wait. 301 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: So there was Nikki and what's all girls name Megan? 302 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Like rap beef is ah Cardian, 303 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: it was Cardian Nikki for a while. Like rap beef 304 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: is a thing. Sometimes it's personal, sometimes it's all made up. 305 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's wwe. But sometimes it's like nigga, we really 306 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: don't like each other. But the point is you take 307 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: it to the studio and it's like song for song, 308 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: bar for bar, let's go, let's do it. I mean 309 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: you look at like the King of the Dot in 310 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: the u r LS, Like there are like rap battle 311 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: leagues to where it's like we're like like we're friends. 312 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: It's just I'm gonna murder you on this song because 313 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: that's how we do nigga. Get your bars up, you 314 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: feel me. So this is why Cole is in album mode. 315 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. The the running thing with between 316 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: Kendrick and Drake is that Drake as for cars. We're concerned. 317 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: Drake really only punches down towards the direction that he 318 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: thinks is actually like he he don't want it with 319 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: the compter Kid. He never goes. It's always kind of 320 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: like sly kind of maybe things he don't want it 321 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: with the compter he'll take it to anybody. He took 322 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: it to push a t you know, he took it 323 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: to meet Mill but he not gonna take it. And 324 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: Kendrick's the one that's like, Nigga, I'm here, let's go, Nigga, 325 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: run it, but he won't do it. So and the 326 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: verse is mostly about Drake. Drake ghos Okay, I'm gonna 327 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: get it to the there's I have a theory about 328 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: Drake's corniness because guys like he's he's objectively corny, like 329 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: he's objectively successful. Don't get me wrong. If we all 330 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: understand he is a megastar. Like, listen, I'm saying this 331 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: recording on my one studio mic in Boyle Heights, Nigga, 332 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: I don't have mansions in multiple countries. Okay, So like, 333 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: don't listen to me, nigga. But some of this shit 334 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: is corny. So but anyway, what should have happened if 335 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: this is hip hop's Drake should have had his going 336 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: back to back ready, you know what I'm saying. No, 337 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: the six God is watching, he should have where your 338 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: verse at. And as of today, the fact that he 339 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: still hasn't responded, while Cole has responded and retracted. The 340 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: response is the most drake thing ever. That's what the 341 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: homie DJ had said. And I was like, Nigga, yes, 342 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: Cole said, his phone was blowing up that like this 343 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: nigga dissedant, like it's supposed to be a hummy. And 344 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: here's what's funny. This is what This is why I say, 345 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: okay argue with Ja cole Fanz because j cole fans 346 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: was like, what, no, like they're friends, Like no, no, no, no, 347 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: he didn't mean it like no one their friends. Because 348 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: I feel like we all know no one wants it 349 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: with the Compton kid. But if he throws some shots 350 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: like that, you have to respond. You have to respond. 351 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: This is hip hop. Cole was in album mode. He 352 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: was about to drop his album I Delete Later and 353 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: and look and the album got APPS Soul on it. 354 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: In Daylight. These are two like West Coast like Legends. 355 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: Apps Soul is part of Top Dog, like that's TDE 356 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: like this is Crewe that's black hippie like their crew. 357 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: And for the most part, Cole snapped on the record. 358 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: So then he puts a song on this record called 359 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: seven Minute Drill, and it was the response to Kendrick 360 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: and Apparently the term seven minute drill is it's from 361 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: like it's like a basketball thing to where it's like, okay, 362 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: here's the topic. You got seven minutes, write it right, 363 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: So that's why he calls it seven minute drill. So 364 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: it's like I have to respond. So he writes the 365 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: rap and y'all it was mid but again, as you know, 366 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: you can't argue with J cole fans. They was like 367 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: it was trending on Twitter or x it was Cole 368 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: one Kendrick zero cold up one zero. It's like, first 369 00:23:53,680 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: of all, it's impossible because Cole was at first anyway, 370 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: you can't argue with J cole fans, and even the 371 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: disses he was saying, like nobody agreed. He was like, 372 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: your first record was classic. Second record was tragic and 373 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: like it put people to sleep. He's talking about to 374 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: Pimple Butterfly and like everybody's like, no, that's wrong. The 375 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: album was amazing. It was a jazz influenced trap hip 376 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: hop album. That's the one that's got we Gonna be 377 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: all Right, Nikka, we Gonna be all right. That's on 378 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: that record, Like, what are you talking about? That's got 379 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: King Kunta, you know, bitch, where you when I was 380 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: walking Now, I run a game, got the whole world 381 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: talking King Cuta like that's got, that's got. I love 382 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: myself like that record didn't What are you talking about? 383 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: The record was amazing, that's false. And then he was like, Yo, 384 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: this is just a warning shot, like you don't want 385 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: it with me. I got shooters in the streets, blah 386 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: blah blah. And it was like, I personally now put 387 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: in my bone opinion as a moving away from the narrative, 388 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: my own opinion, I expected more from Cole to be 389 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: honest with you. He was in a very precarious position 390 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: because again, you don't want it with the comp to kid. Secondly, 391 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: you really have to come with it, but you have 392 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: to come with it at a particular angle because you're 393 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: not gonna go bar for Barwick Kendrick. I think it's 394 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: the it's the thing that nobody wants to say. It's 395 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: that you may like this dude more than the other one, 396 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: but it's it's like Eminem, it's like you you don't 397 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: don't battle him. I know, it's like it seems corny 398 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: right now to say that about Eminem because he's like 399 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: a meme you know, put in a hand, seeing which 400 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: out the damn cabinet, like it's funny now but like 401 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: his in his era, like sheesh anyway, And if Cole's 402 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: like I just caught a stray bro like that wasn't 403 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: even a wasn't even about me, Like why you come 404 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: after me? But you but you can't. But it's hip hop. 405 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: You gotta respond, he said. Boz's blowing up his phone 406 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: like you gotta do something. He's like, album probably done. 407 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: It's the last song on the album. You gotta do it, 408 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: and it was mid And my opinion is, how do 409 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: you approach how do you approach this? Well, what you 410 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: say this is me as a rap of a rapper, 411 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: This is proba being a rapper.

I'm apologizing in a battle 522 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: number one because I know it's just a battle. We're 523 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: not This is not personal. I know he doesn't really 524 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: mean this, and if he does, then that's his problem. 525 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: This is a sport, right where this is fun, like 526 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: boxing fighting like when we was kids. It's crazy, but 527 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: like when we was kids, fighting was fun. So we're 528 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: having fun and at the end of it. I could 529 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: pick you up and be like, yo, that was dumped 530 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: out I respect. It's a compliment that you think enough 531 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: of me to try to throw jabs at me. That 532 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: means I'm worth your time, all right, Well, out of 533 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: respect for you, I'm gonna throw some jabs back, and 534 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw some haymakers. I'm gonna give you my all. 535 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: Or maybe we have an asinine view of ourselves and 536 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be like this. Maybe the things that we're 537 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: saying about each other is petty and pitiful. I don't 538 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: really think these things about you, so then why would 539 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: I say that I am very happy with who I am. 540 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: I just want to write rap songs now as a 541 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: side notice, like we'll call all that tough talk is 542 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: done now because like, well, I mean what am I? 543 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: I can't listen to you talk about how you got 544 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: killers in the streets no more when you had a 545 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: chance and you apologize, Like so it's almost like the 546 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: k fab has been ruined? You do you feel me? 547 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: That being said, this is a question about like what guys, 548 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: what are we doing? Like what do what? What's what 549 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: are we doing? Like Ed Weird, I stand in the 550 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: same place that most of the college is in. We 551 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: are up to minds where part of us is like actually, 552 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: I mean that's a pretty stand up dude. That's actually 553 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: like that's pretty dope. Like he's stood on this square. 554 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: He didn't want to, you know, go against his own integrity. 555 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: It's great. And the other part is like Nigga is 556 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: the corny and shit I've ever seen in my life? 557 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: Like did you just apologize? Nigga? Just what are you 558 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: talking about? Spit bars, nigga rap nigga? What? I guess 559 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: the debate's over, Nigga. Kendrick won. But again, you can't 560 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: argue with Jay cole fans because j cole fans went 561 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: from being like Chris Dugger was spitting bars. Kendrick don't 562 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: want it to like, oh you see put the kofee 563 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,959 Speaker 1: on it became hoteps. It's because it's because cold is healthy. 564 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: He's well, you know, and like non Kendrick Kendrick. It 565 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: issues like, look, Cole did the right thing. So no 566 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: matter what Cole do, he spit bars. Yeah, you're not 567 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: mad at the bars. Okay, No, you know that's the 568 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: right thing to do. I like that. That's the type 569 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: of fandom you won't he got that. He got that 570 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: trunk fandom, whereas like Nigga can do no wrong, and 571 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: the thing is it's gonna stick with him forever. Maybe 572 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, but like the point is, it's like 573 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: I like, I'm I'm torn because what, like what do we? 574 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 1: Who are we? There's this reckoning happening I think among 575 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 1: hip hop period, because if you're telling me that Puffy 576 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: had these gangster ass New York dudes filling niggas talking 577 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: about how they got guns in the streets and how 578 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 1: they run, and you had them in your house having 579 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: sex with other men and theirs and these men are 580 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: supposed to be straight and you have them for their careers. 581 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: When I hear Mick Mill say, man, I hope the 582 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: streets forgive me for what I did with Diddy, Like 583 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa is that really?

Is 587 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: none of it? 588 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 2: Is? 589 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: None of this real? We're like, is Kendrick is West Coast? 590 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: At least on the West Coast? And We're like, are 591 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: we the only real? Because we know Nitsy, We we 592 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: knew him, we know we know Mazi, we know Kate 593 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: like we know school Boy. This nigga is Hoover like 594 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: he been out. We know these niggas, so like we 595 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,760 Speaker 1: know why we know y g Like, so their stories 596 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: are true because they've been cooborated. You telling me, y'all 597 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: was y'all was at Public's party and there's cameras and 598 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: now cole out here like your life not in danger? 599 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: He just basically said, like Kendrick just said that he's 600 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: a better rapper than you, and you couldn't respond with no, 601 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: you're not, I'm better, Like you couldn't or are we 602 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: moving to a place as a culture to where it's 603 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: like nah, mental health is really important. Maybe this nigga 604 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: is starting. Who knows, We don't know. The question is 605 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: what are we even doing? Like what's happening right now? Now? 606 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: That is the question that's interesting about our politics. Let's 607 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: talk about it next. That was a long way around, right, 608 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: But the question is and what really reminded me of 609 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: all this is the Arizona abortion law and Trump's response 610 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: to that, and really statistically speaking, where seventy five, like 611 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: the vast majority of Americans actually sits. It's like, like, 612 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: what what are we doing? You know, like why, why 613 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 1: is this? What's happening right now? We got an election 614 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: coming up that that's I'm not gonna be all extra 615 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: and be like the most important election of our lives. 616 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,760 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be extra like that, because the truth 617 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 1: is anything can happen. I'm reading a book about about 618 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: actual nuclear war where they where they play out this. 619 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: It's actually a super interesting book. It's called Nuclear War. 620 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: A Scenario is written by Annie Jacobson where she runs 621 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: a scenario of like, if let's just say North Korea 622 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: just out the blue decides to shoot a nucadus, we 623 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: essentially have like twenty four minutes to figure out what 624 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: we're gonna do, and and really that could happen at 625 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,959 Speaker 1: any moment, at any time, at all times. We could 626 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: get so there's like anything could happen. Coast of California 627 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 1: could blow up in the next second, Like is this 628 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: the most important election? Any election could be the most 629 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: important election. But what are we talking about? So in Arizona, 630 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 1: once Roe v. Wade was overturned, Okay, that meant that 631 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: rules about abortion get kicked down to the states, right, 632 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: so the states get to choose what they do. And 633 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: that's all the drama that we've been experiencing over the 634 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: last couple years and all the midterm elections and how 635 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: a lot of states Republicans lost their seats. It was 636 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways over this. But in Arizona 637 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: when this happened, there was the state Supreme Court was like, 638 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: all right, you could do a fifteen you could do 639 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: it up to fifteen weeks. And that's based on one 640 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: of their lower courts like interpretation of the law. Basically, 641 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: you don't have a federal constitutional right to an abortion, 642 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean you can't get one. And we're saying, 643 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: according to our laws, anything past fifteen weeks is off limits. Now, 644 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: when you go into the Arizona archives, there was a 645 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: law like from the Civil War era. You heard me, right, 646 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: a law from the Civil War era that is, I 647 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: mean it's old than Arizona itself. Like this was a 648 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: law before Arizona was a state. This law was put 649 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: in place. It says that all abortions are off limits 650 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: except for when the mother's life is threatened. So there 651 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: was an anti abortion doctor out there that was like 652 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: asking for clarity. That's basically like, yo, is this still law? 653 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: Because if this is still law, then you can't have 654 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: another one that just happened. This means that this the 655 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: oldest abortion law in all the country. No exceptions for 656 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: rape or incests, and if you perform an abortion you 657 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: go into two to five years in the prison. That's 658 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: that's the law. Now, they did a few weeks stay 659 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: on this before it goes and it goes into full effects. 660 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: Say like, okay, this is what we're saying. You're right 661 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: that law supersedes the other one. But hold on a second, befo, 662 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: y'all start getting active. So this is where we are now. 663 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: The top of the Republican ticket that the head honcho, 664 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: the top got is Trump, as we know, right, So 665 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: if anything you would be one would think you'd be like, yo, 666 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: score one for the squad, you feel me? And then 667 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 1: Trump put out his official statement. What they wanted him 668 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: to say is he's anti abortion, but that's not what 669 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: he said. He said, I was never for a federal 670 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: abortion fan band. I think this should be up to 671 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:18,720 Speaker 1: the states. 672 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 2: I mean. 673 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: And the way that he was saying is you listen 674 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: to me. He said, it's just not a winning topic. 675 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: The people don't want that. And one hundred he's saying 676 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: the quiet thing out loud. That's crazy because first off, 677 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 1: he's right. The Supreme Court justice is that he put 678 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: owned the Supreme Court is what scored. That was the 679 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: long game. Remember we talked about this with moneymaker Mitch, 680 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: with Lord Vader over there. You know what I'm saying. 681 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: The move the whole time, I mean, that was the game. 682 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: The whole time was ending Rov. That was the law. 683 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: That was the play the whole time the play was 684 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: ending Roe v. Wade. That was the play the whole time. 685 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: Why these people plugged, they nose and put this man 686 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: in office was to get was to get to this point, 687 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 1: was to get a ban on abortion, Rovi Wade got overturned, 688 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: which basically means isn't a ban on abortion. It's saying 689 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: you don't have a federal right to one. It's different. 690 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: According to them, we not cross the finish line. And 691 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: now your man, who you made disagreement with, who done 692 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 1: broke your party, you feel me, is on the top 693 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 1: of it.
