Speaker 3 (00:06):
Hood politics with Prive. So I've been in two days
of meetings, board meetings with Search for Common Ground, the
peace building or I'm a part of I've had Shama
on the show.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Y'all know what it is.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's a just a dope program, man, just like talking
about the next year, what it means to exist without
us AID, because this is really real. There are literal
mouths not being fed, there are conflicts not being brokered.
But at the same time, what we've been able to
do is super incredible. So if you want to something
(00:44):
to give for given Tuesday, Search for Common Ground s
FCG dot org. Anyway, But back on the home front,
we're gonna run a little little rewind selecta the bb
Old Donnie, which is about the Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Still hate the fact that it's called the Big Beautiful
Bill Act.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It's ridiculous, but.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
We're kind of living in some of those Uh what
had happened was moments, especially some of the tariffs being
removed and kind of seeing how maybe putting everything all
your eggs in one basket wasn't necessarily.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
A good choice anyway, So rewind this is the reality
we're living in now.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
All right, bb el donnish bb e donnie woob don it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So okay.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So in the anniversary time of the destruction of Kendrick
or Wow, the destruction of drake Man, I feel like
we're missing the recognition and the contribution of Metro Bluemen
(02:33):
with BBL Drizzy that played a huge role in the
fall of the Drakester now fall is obviously a relative term.
He still has an enormous amount of fans. Nokia still
is going up baby Girl in another piece of incredibly
(02:59):
toned deaf. He is not like us. More evidence. His
new record is called the Iceman, as in your truly
not watching what's going on with the culture, or you
wouldn't use the term never mind. Also, he posted a
(03:23):
picture of himself with his new abs, which look like
a comic book like it was so obviously that's plastic surgery.
It was like, sir, you have square abs that I
(03:46):
am positive is what we say it.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
That's a.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Just proudly posting my nigga your abs. You that's plastic surgery. Time,
oh man, to be that light skin and oblivious to
really not care, it's amazing anyway. BBL Drizzy, I make
(04:18):
some respect needs to be put on and let the
record show that BBL Drizzy played.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
A very big role.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
In addition to not Like Us and the subsequent GNX record. Anyway,
we're talking about BBL, Donnie though, okay, and by BBL
I mean Big beautiful Bill.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Act.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I it frustrates me so much that act is at
the end of it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It's like ATM.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Machine like.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And just he don't care.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You're gonna sell merch. You're gonna sell merch for Alligator Alcatraz,
you don't care. So we got to talk about what's
in it? Why should you care? What was the play
and what we have to look forward to.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Y'all ready? Hook politics Prime watch the lighting drastically change.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
That's good video production because you know I don't color
correct this for you guys that watch it. Anyway. Currently
on my signal chats is the ice and military at
MacArthur Park. Just at the park, just black people a
(06:02):
little distracted, really want to finish this and get out there.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Fourth of July was very strange. Performed fourth of July.
This is all preamble. I'm gonna get to the bill
I just really I don't want.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
To talk about it.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I do I have to, uh, and just it's just
Cali going up right now. Man. We're in this place
called place ta Alvera Street now Alverara Street is. This
was the center of when California became a state. Well
before that, the center of it was basically like where
(06:40):
the city was established. It's right by the river because
that's where the natives lived, because that's where the fresh
water was. Natives is in the Tungula tribe. Anyway, Alvera
Street was where we would go for field trips as
a kid. Go by Aguayaveda, some incense and get the
(07:02):
best taquitos at Salito Lindo at the end of the street. Anyway,
performing there with the liber crew is beautiful. Me scare
of from Living Legends you may or may not know
what I'm talking about, and a bunch of the crew
from beat rock music, the Hommie Bam Bamboo, the person
(07:24):
who I've interviewed many times on this show or twice
on this show. That's his label, so you already know
they about they about they about that action. But towards
the end was helicopters. I feel like flying solo, we
could touch them. Just police everywhere because it's right by
the federal building, the whole the detention center, everybody being held,
(07:47):
and it just it's the worst, the tear gas and
smoke bombs. I just we don't we can't catch a
break here.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Man.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Still supporting families.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I'm gonna send you all some more links for some
family JAKA support in the meantime.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But yeah, let's get to it, BBL.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Donnie, big beautiful bill Act.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Now, first of all, here was the play. You have a.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Agenda for your administration, right, These are the what you
keep saying, These are the things that you were promising
you were gonna pull off as you become the executive, right,
And when you do that, they're obviously things having to
(09:10):
do with the broad structure of the running of the country.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
So it's economics, foreign policy, you know, immigration, all of it,
domestic stuff, infrastructure.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
All of it.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
It's all those things, right, and all those things, because again,
you have to convince the entire country over a lot
of stuff. Right now, once you start trying to pass laws,
pass bills to enact those things that you said you
promised to do, there should be an understanding that everybody
(09:48):
ain't gonna like everything, right, since everybody ain't gonna like everything,
and because it's fifty different states, each of those states
have their own invested interests on things that help them
or don't help them. Now, if the system is working correctly,
then what happens is President has this idea, you bring
it to the legislative branch. The legislative branch gets to say, now,
(10:12):
wait a minute. Now, I don't know if I feel
this one, because you know us over here in you know,
the Southern States, like I don't know, say, for example,
it's like because of Doug climate change, It's like, seriously,
what we experience in right now in them po folks
in Texas, Look, the floods are getting more intense.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Doc.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And I know you don't want to admit that this
is a side effect or this is the effects of
climate change, but it is right like that whatever weather
you got is about to the game gets turned up.
That's that's what our changing climate means. It's not like
why you understand what I mean by that, Like they
just crank the game. So if you're in a flood
(10:52):
zone a place that normally floods, it ain't gonna flood
the way it used to flood. This flood built different,
which is what's happening in Texas right now.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So you like, listen.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I know you got all these rules about like budget
cuts for this, budget cuts this. I know you promised
the American people blah blah blah blah. However, I live
in this state that like we really need, we really
need the bread for our weather services. I know everybody
got jokes about FEMA, but my nigga, I need FEMA
to get out here as quick as possible. So I'm
with all the shit you're doing, all the racist shit
(11:24):
you're doing for immigration, but I'm gonna need you to
keep this FEMA money coming. So you break up the ideas. Right,
you go to a restaurant. This is as metaphorically speaking.
You go to a restaurant and it's like, I don't
like everything on the menu, right, I should be able
to order a bunch of different things. And when I
(11:45):
get the order, like for somebody like me, you know,
when you get to my pedigree of age, you know,
your digestice system decides it wants to quit doing certain things.
You feel me So like for me, it was like
most black people to is dairy, like you hit a
certain age and that that that dairy, that that that
(12:06):
that milk. Baby, like, you can't just be you gott
just be. You can just be eating that cheese like
you used to. Baby, you understand I'm saying. So like
you want to be able to order something and be
like yo, can you hold the cheese or you know again,
like that glue. You can't just be eating bread like
you can't be just can't listen, you know the way
(12:27):
my stomach is set up. You feel me like I
can't just be digesting the stuff I used to be digesting.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And I like that. So I want to be able
to substitute some stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Do you got glue? Do you got sour though? Is
there gluten free buns? Do you can I get this
without the bread? Can I substitute the fries for a salad?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Make my experience better? Do you got other alternatives? I
don't want the entire menu, my nigga, Right, I like
some of the stuff, but I don't like the other stuff. Well,
it's the same with laws. A president brings an agenda
(13:13):
and they say this we want to do for energy,
This we want to do for infrastructure. Do we want
to do for a military? This is what we want
to do for again? Immigration, whatever, right, A bunch of
different stuff, but get But the play for Trump was like,
why are we complicating things? Just put it in one
(13:35):
big bill. Just make it one bill, so you just
vote yes or no. Like it's I like, I need,
I want. I want to do all of this. I
don't want to break it up. I don't want to
do all of it. Either yes or no? Can I
cook or not? So, no matter what you think, Republican
(13:58):
or Democrat, No matter what you think, it's either yes
or no. So when you go to a restaurant, you
either like everything on this menu or you don't eat here.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You see how crazy that sounds.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You go to a place and they say, hey, listen, uh,
there's only one item on the menu, and you look
at it, and the one item got seventeen dishes. It's
a seventeen course meals. Jesus, I have to eat all
seven I have to order all seventeen of these.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yes or no? The hell you mean? Yes or no?
You like?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I really listen. I heard your burgers were amazing. I
do want the fries. I do like the salad. I
would like a salad maybe, but I don't want your
chicken sandwich, your fish and chips. And then why does
(14:59):
your green got rat poisoning in it? I'm supposed to
just drink the green tea with rat poisoning?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yes or no? You either like us or like well, nigga,
I like them. I wanted a burger.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I like the burger, and then the rest, and then
the chef walk out there and say, hey, listen, yes
or no? You either with me or against me. And
I'm gonna tell you this. If you say no, I'm
a godeo job and get you fired.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Do you understand that that's what's going on.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
That's what the big beautiful that was to play with
the big beautiful bill. You take everything you gonna do,
you put it in one bill, and you force the
people to say yes or no, and you can't get
on the camera and say which. I would have had
so much respect for the bare minimum of at least
(15:57):
a Republican senator, a Republican congress person just getting up
there and saying the truth. They're saying, hey, listen. I
was with this part. I was with this part. You
had a chance. The lady up in Alaska said, I
know that this is going to be not beneficial for
some Americans.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Ma'am.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I feel like that paragraph isn't finished to what you
were supposed to say. Therefore, I don't think the juice
is worth the squeeze you're.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Supposed to say.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Therefore, I'm going to need the executive branch to take
all these things and break them up into separate bills
so that I can vote on them individually, because I
don't want to order the entire menu. Damn, I just
I want to vote on each individual thing.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It just it's logical unless.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
You're consolidating power and trying to become an autocrat, unless
you're extracting authority and power from the other two branches
of government. This is the way you consolidate power at
the executive branch, Donnie putting up numbers. So I would
(18:00):
have so much respect if a lawmaker would have been
like listen, even a Republican was like listen, dude, I'm
a conservative, like I'm not. But if they'd have been
like listen, I'm a conservative Republican. But the thing is,
I work for my state, and the reality is if
I vote no on this, I'm gonna lose my job.
(18:24):
This man gonna go over there and he gonna figure
out how to primary me. Not only that, follow this,
these people be getting death threats, And I feel like
if you would just say that, like if you was like, listen, dude,
I don't far be it from me to talk trash
(18:45):
about the American people. I'm just saying, like, even if
you are a conservative. He was just like, yo, they
they be shooting congress people homegirl in Minnesota, Like did
I feel like? I feel like y'all not act. I
(19:07):
feel like we're not talking about this enough. Somebody went
to kill a lawmaker. Foe they political views? Nigga, of
course I'm gonna vote yes on the bill, like I
might die right like so like, I feel like I
(19:27):
don't understand why y'all not freaking out about that. So
if I was a Republican lawmaker, if I got on
the camera and said, listen, dog, y'all be shooting people
that don't side with Trump. I don't agree with everything
this man said. I mean, I'm like, listen, like, let
(19:49):
me put the words in your mouth, Like if you
just say, hey, listen, I love this restaurant, but I
don't love everything on the menu all at the same time.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I got dairy problems.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
So when I looked at this one big, beautiful bill act,
I was like, well, I like some of it, but
I don't like it at all. But this man has
made it impossible for me to pick the parts I like.
I have to take all of it or nothing. You
ever dated somebody like that and then just say I
wanted to vote no if they'd have been like I
(20:21):
wanted to vote no. But if I vote no, I
could die. At worst, I could lose my job. At least,
what do y'all want me to do? Of course, I
understand I'm working against you. Who do you want me
to do? You can't do that. You can't do that.
(20:44):
You can't keep it real. You're not allowed to keep
it real. I mean again as the rules of the
hood too, you're not allowed to keep it real. You're
supposed to. You can only say that among the hummies,
at least give me like a wink wink, you know,
blink twice my nigga, like, like, show us some signs.
And then you got the people that like, look, I
(21:04):
ain't running again, so I'm not with none of this.
Some of them dudes, is just like riding off into
the sunset.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Now. Granted again, can't stress this enough.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I really enjoy the political gap fitt. One of the
things that one of the hosts was talking about is like,
it's really not that easy to let yourself be excommunicated,
to be a part of a set, you know, you
part of the gang in them, and then for you
(21:38):
to be the one person to stand up and be like,
have you niggas lost y'all's mind? It seems like in
a movie that's the most powerful position. But you got
to remember, these people just don't work together, and it's
not just like as simple as like, oh, they don't
want to lose their money, No, nigga. We go to
y'all in the same after school, your kids take the
(22:02):
jiu jitsu together. Y'all in the same soccer and tennis thing.
Y'all go to church together. Y'all be having dinners together,
your little wine tasted things. Y'all go on vacation. This
is your circle. Let me tell you something. You look
a little honey in the face.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
This is me talking to the people that I actually
wrote this show for. This is me talking to y'all
who what's outside. You understand what I'm saying, which means
you understand what these politicians is going through, which is this.
(22:42):
You know when you hit junior high and niggas start
getting put on the hood, getting put on the set.
It's as simple as this, and people looking at you like, well,
why would you make that choice for yourself?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Like how could you gangbang?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It's like, well, these are not only are these my friends,
these these the only kids I know.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
We live in these apartment complexes. You live in these
like duplexus, these four block radio RADII. I don't know
you live in. You just live in this on this
one street. These are the kids on the street. I've
been playing with them since head start. We go to
school together, We've had the same babysitter, we was in
(23:26):
the same summer. Because these are the only kids I know,
they are my friends. I have to see them every day.
This nigga literally live next door. His brother dated my sister,
my oldest cousin, and his uncle. They play Domino's like,
this is literally my community. These are literally the only
(23:48):
people I know from eleven years you let eleven years old,
every person you know is involved in this. I mean
what do you What do you want me to do?
I can't move, and if I move, I'm moving into
another neighborhood where those kids are the only kids they knew.
(24:14):
It's just just it's not that simple as just being like,
say no to drugs or I'm not going to get
involved in criminal like nigga, these are the only they're
the only people. Or do you have the fortitude to
all summer stay inside, never hang out even if I'm
(24:35):
gonna even move this to now, like these people you
play video games with, they gonna have to be.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
In other states. There's no one else.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
So I say that to say I understand that you
can't just be like fuck Trump, he crazy. You're in
this is your entire network. Having said that, I did it.
(25:12):
I enjoyed my set. Yeah it was lonely, But what
you find is there's plenty of other kids in your
neighborhood that really don't want to do this that are
as Kendrick, good kid, Mad City. I love you, my nigga.
You will always be my nigga. We always grow up together.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
But I'm just not going I'm not going in the
alleyway with you. The just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
A lot of times, Oh jis respect that it's gonna
be weird for a little bit. You're gonna get chased
home for a while, right, I feel that. But I
tell you what, they hate their enemies more than they
mad at you for not getting put on. Let me
tell you why, because I know still when push came
to shove and it was time to get down, the
(26:04):
helmy showed up, you know, and then you learn that
the world is so much bigger than your own neighborhood,
and there are people.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
All over the world.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I feel like one of the greatest gifts that I've
received through the Lord God Almighty was the fact that
I grew up in a Mexican neighborhood, because that meant
that in a lot of ways, I was just overlooked.
Like I would have had to have forced myself into
(26:37):
Belinda Flats, which was the neighborhood that I it was
the hood that was a you know, part of Floridentsia.
Like I'd had to push myself into that, you know
what I'm saying. They were my homies, but I would
have had to like force myself, Like Mike, I had
a cousin that was from Inglewood, you know, and he
was when he came to the Inland Empire, when I
(26:59):
was living there for a little bit. You know, whatever
Ingle was said that, you know, was a part of that.
He was considering getting down with them. You know what
I'm saying. I could have got down with them, because
that's you know, that's my family. We fell in lower
hip hop. We found other things, started doing graffiti, I
started skateboarding, and a lot of that was because for
(27:23):
me personally, I just didn't I just found other things.
But you got to get that first original fortitude to
be like, I'm not just going to fall in line.
That's a rambling preamble as to the science behind the
big beautiful bill. But do you follow me? You make
(27:44):
it a yes or no question. You either take it
off or you don't. And why it passed is because
of what I just explained. What are you gonna do, dude?
You could die if you're a Republican.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Now, what's in the bill next? All right?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Since the bill is literally everything, you gotta stop and
talk about a few things. These are the highlights. I'm
gonna try to get not fully into the mangroves of it,
but at least a little more detail than like the
opinion shows that're just like it's only gonna help the rich.
(28:42):
You're gonna lose your medicaid, Like what the fuck do
you mean by that? Right, So, the first big thing
everybody talking about, which they should talk about, is the
twenty seventeen tax cuts that they are getting extended. And
I think if Donnie have his way cemented forever, your
next question should be, hey, prop what were the twenty
(29:04):
seventeen tax cuts? And I'm about to tell you now,
if you're watching this, I'm gonna turn to the other
screen and read my notes because it's not like I
gotta memorize. So twenty seventeen tax cuts. The tax breaks
were numerous, so there was a lot of different things
that changed. One was like the amount of individual tax brackets. Right,
(29:28):
this is gonna get a little like thorny because our
tax laws are absurd. But what we considered low income,
middle income, high income, all that good stuff. That mark
moves depending on what brackets you in is the percentage
of how you taxed, Which was why Bernie was just like,
(29:52):
I don't understand why kn' just be a flat tax.
Everybody gets taxed ten percent, whatever number. He's just like
it just seemed so simple. It don't have to be.
I don't understand all this different stuff anyway. So there
was a lowering of tax rates, more tax brackets, and
(30:14):
increasing the standard deductions. I'm going to get into what
all this stuff means. A family tax credit, itemized deductions,
and personal exemptions were eliminated. Now here's the thing I am.
Since I'm self employed, I'm an artist, and anybody that does,
(30:35):
like you know, gigwork, you know, if you have to
turn in W nine's all the time, you understand that,
like when you get a check, they have not taken
taxes out right, so it is on you to show
a P and L or a profit and loss or
like what you've been spending. And those things are things
(30:57):
you can claim on your taxes. Now me as an
artist or what forever I could, I could say public figures,
so that meant like my outfit, my travel with my
food artist as I was a touring artist, every flight,
every hotel, every everything, I will report it to my
taxes as expenses, right, And the hope was if you
do it right, your expenses in relation to your income
(31:22):
will weigh the thing out so you don't end up
owing the irs money.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Right.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Now, on top of that, I was a parent, So
as a parent, there I have deductibles, the you know, childcare,
just the cost of what it takes to have a kid.
Was there was a dollar amount around that when it
comes to the taxes. Now, what the tax thing did
(31:50):
is say that, Okay, listen, let's just make a standard deduction.
And the standard deduction went from twelvey seven hundred to
twenty four thousand for married couples, right, or or it doubled, yeah,
twelve thousand, Yeah, for married couples. For single filers, the
standard deduction will increase from six three hundred and fifty
(32:12):
to twelve thousand, which is about seventy percent of the
families would choose a standard deduction rather than itemized deductions. Right,
and this could rise over eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I doubled, right.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
The personal exemption is eliminated. This was a deduction of
four thousand fifty dollars per taxpayer unless it's earned in
an estate or trust. I know you all already glazing
over they saying is this it hurt me?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Really is?
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Rather than you trying to hope that your deductions things
that you know tax exempt gifts and you know, donating
this stuff hoping that the things that you present, right as,
oh man, I donated this charity, I donated to this
is equal to or more than twenty four thousand dollars,
(33:05):
right because if the deduction is less than that, it
don't make no difference.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Right, you don't.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
You are only getting You are only able to claim
this amount as a deduction. So no matter what you made,
this amount is it for some people that's great? What
that means is that like if you just claim that,
if you just claim that, then if you didn't give
enough or you don't have enough write offs to reach
that threshold, then it ain't no point because you ain't
(33:37):
gonna get the deduction. If you got more than that
kind of hurts you because I don't get to claim
anything above that. It's a standard, right, It's twenty four thousand,
That's what it is. So if I was like, like,
I make this much, but I gave that much, it
don't matter. You can only claim twenty four thousand dollars,
you know what I'm saying. So for me personally it hurt, right,
(33:59):
but or some households it helped the child credit tax, right,
it doubled from one thousand dollars to two thousand dollars,
fourteen hundred of which which is refundable. So like whatever
you paid on childcare, you could get fourteen hundred dollars
back if you got kids. That sounds great, right. So
there were a handful of things that really helped.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
People.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Right.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
So the argument that Trump could make is that I
don't understand me somehow, like this was great, Like, you
guys got to cut in your taxes. However, the cut
in our taxes paled in comparison to the cut in
the taxes for the super wealthy. Right, So when you
(34:52):
do it, when you do the math, it was households
whose income was in the top percent. Right, we'll see
where we receive an average tax cut, tax cut of
more than sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Right, So.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
In relation to us, when everything gets said and done,
we're getting more like a five hundred dollars tax cut.
When you do all the map together. I don't want
to get into it. It's just it's too hard to explain. Right,
But basically, these are households that make four hundred thousand
dollars or more. Right, So essentially what you're saying is
(35:32):
the wealthies tax cut was triple ours. You following that like,
everybody got a cut, but their cut was a bigger cut,
so they already don't pay their fair share amount that
ain't got to pay even less. So when the Democrats
(35:54):
got on the stage and was like, this tax cut
really ain't helping you, it's really helped them. What they
need to do at this moment is to hammer home
how that worked. It's like your big brother who got
a job, your big sister who got a job, walks
(36:14):
in with a big old bag of fries and some
in and out Chick fil A. I don't know what
a burger for all you Texans. You walk in there
with the spicy siracha ketch up whatever, right, and then
he give you two fries and you're like, oh dope.
But then he give the middle brother a whole burger
(36:37):
and fries, and you like, why get why he get
a whole meal? And your oldest brothers say, I don't
understand why you're not happy about the fries you got.
When I walked in here, you ain't had no fried.
Now you got fries. What you worried about his fries?
For you like nigga, he just ate he just because
(37:01):
he's already had a meal and you're just gonna give
him more.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I'm still hungry. And he like, oh, I always got
your hand out.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Huh, Like nikka, what the I'm just saying, he don't
he don't need the burgers. I'm the one that need.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Like I thought, I thought you was taking care of us.
It's not taking care of you.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Okay, So the twenty seventeen tax cuts are staying, right,
(37:59):
then you are also added the no tax on tips
and the senior or overtime and the senior Uh there
are some like senior citizen tax breaks. Now this is
another one of those situations where they like, what, I
don't understand why you're not happy about this? How could
you possibly find a complaint for this? Well, the complaint
(38:19):
is if businesses are allowing you to keep your tips
without taxing it, what they will probably do is pay
you less or remove your benefits because you already you're
getting extra, You're getting free money, so why should I
(38:41):
have to you get to keep that. So then I
guess that means I don't have to pay you as much? Right,
Like wait, what, well, yeah, why would I get why
would I give you this amazing benefits package because the
(39:02):
business is like, well, we have to cover our business taxes.
You just get to have free money. Well then I'm
just gonna pay you less. And it seems like you
should be it should even out for you, to which
you should say evening out is not what I needed
(39:26):
this for, sir. I don't make enough, so this was
supposed to help me. This is you having your two
fries again. I don't understand what you're complaining about. You
about to get tax free money. It's one of the things.
So it sounds great, right. It defunds a lot of
(39:47):
the clean energy bills that we were working out with.
Now here's where again I wish Red state lawmakers would
articulate the is you here right? I understand that for
some reason your team just wants to believe that coal
(40:09):
and oil are somehow holier than wind and solar. But
set aside to fact that you're putting rat poison inside
of your iced tea. Set that aside, right, most like
wind farms and solar panel, like big old land farms,
(40:34):
things are things that the government were buying. It was
land the government was buying from Red States.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
So like y'all was.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Y'all stood to make a lot of money from this.
It's also very complicated because you're buying that land from
who A lot of that land was like pristine you know,
state parks. A lot of that land was like farmland,
from families who've had it forever. I understand that it's complicated.
(41:07):
I'm just saying, if you was a lawmaker, you just
took money out of your own pocket. You just voted
against your own bread. The government was going to pay
you for the use of your land. You can't do
that in California. We ain't got no space. Y're the
ones with the space. I don't understand you hurting yourself
(41:30):
is what I'm trying to stay here right. Also, the
next one is the medicaid situation. Now, now the Medicaid
situation is a little difficult because they keep saying that
it's going to kick some people off, and it is.
Some people are just gonna genuinely lose their Medicaid. But
what it's what it's essentially saying is this, It's saying,
(41:53):
you need to prove that you're doing something right food stamps, Medicaid.
You need to prove that you're doing something. One of
those ways you prove you doing something is you have
to prove employment right now. If you all disability, they
totally understand that you need to prove that you're doing
some sort of community service. If we're just gonna be
(42:14):
giving you this money, we need to know that you're.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Doing this right now.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
The way that they did that, it went from like
for some of the things, it went from like quarterly
to monthly. You have to monthly prove that you've been
doing community service or that you're employed, and you have
to somehow do that on I don't know an app.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Is there a website you have to call in? How
do you show? How do I prove this? Now? Listen,
most people don't read nor understand websites. Right now, we
talk in medicaid.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
So have you seen the last time yo Mama tried
to post something on Instagram?
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Have you ever tried to.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Turn in an invoice or a receipt to your employer?
How difficult that is? Listen, I'm struggling with iHeart right now.
I'm still waiting on a check from them because the
account processing thing they ain't like the first way I
sent the invoice, and then they looked at the W
(43:25):
nine and they told me the W nine was out
of date, and I looked at it and I was like,
it's not out of date. And I just sent them
the same one and there was like received, thank you
will process it. And I'm like, I did this this.
You were supposed to pay me this in April, right.
I don't know if it's a bot on the other
side of the thing, and these is just emails. I
(43:47):
don't like it's it is so difficult. Do you understand
the difference between the copay and a deductible No.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Have you ever tried to.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
Like file a form on the DMV realize the form
was wrong? Now try doing that while you starving. I
just it's like the navigation the sheer paperwork alone, and
if you click D when you were supposed to click see,
it cancels out the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
You ever had that you put a comment instead of
a period.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
People trying to you know, when you try to like
like say, like Lord forbid you go by your middle name,
but your driver's license has your first name and then
buy an airplane ticket, they gonna mess around and tell
you this ain't you. You're like, I know you see
on my driver's license that that's my middle name. I'm
just saying it was like, that's not what the ticket say.
(44:39):
You can't get on this flight. I'm telling you it's
gonna be crazy. Now Here's where these people there told
on themselves because out their mouth they saying, no one's
losing their medicaid, We're just getting rid of fraudsters. All
you gotta do is just I'm just losing their medicaid.
All you gotta do is just prove it, like just
(45:01):
or we're just saying we're not taking medicaid from anybody.
Just show us proof that you're doing the thing you
need to be doing. But they also have a calculated
dollar amount of how much they saving on medicaid, So
which one is it? So you're counting on people not
(45:22):
doing the task that you just know you made so difficult,
so much so that you've already put that number of
savings in a line item, which means to me, you
know you're taking medicaid. And what you're trying to say
(45:46):
is or I'm not taking it. I just know you're
not gonna do the paperwork, and you losing it yourself.
And on the medicaid thing, here's where you get even
most psycho. A lot of y'all gonna lose your Medicaid.
And I know you're gonna lose your Medicaid because your
medical your health insurance is a state one that got
(46:09):
a cute little name. It's not called Medicaid, so you
don't know that that the funding for that is actually Medicaid.
California got California Cover. That might be a little different
because it's a whole different funding process, but most states
have their own cute little name for the state ran
health insurance that's Medicaid. Just like last year, people being like,
(46:34):
I don't like a I don't like Obamacare, but I
love the Affordable Care Act, My nigga, they are the
same thing. The Affordable Care Act is where you are
getting your state funded health insurance. Niggas, don't read not
(46:55):
only that you said, don't affect you because you got
private health insurance. Do you know how hospitals work? Do
you know how private insurance works? You know your premium
inside of the costs of that. Why they need to
know where you live, it's relative to how many people
(47:19):
ain't got insurance in your area.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
What do I mean by that?
Speaker 3 (47:23):
Somebody cut their finger off, who ain't got no insurance
and they come into the emergency room. Somebody got to
pay for that. It's seven hundred dollars. They ain't got
the money for it. So whatever shortfall that's there, so
that the hospital can at least recoup some of them costs,
they roll that cost.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
Into premiums Medicaid.
Speaker 3 (47:49):
Why that's there, it's for those particular situations, so that offsets.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Some of the costs, but not all of the costs.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
Again, the rest of it gets roll into your premiums,
which means that the more people that are insured stay
with me now, the lower your private insurance could cost. Therefore,
the less people that are insured, the more your premium is.
(48:27):
Because who not gonna lose day money?
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (48:31):
You know, who ain't gonna lose their money?
Speaker 2 (48:52):
And lastly, the EV mandates as a complete shade.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
To your boy, your boy old musk who got so
frustrated with it, who tried to tell the politicians this
was so funny. Whoever votes for the big beautiful bill act,
I am going to primary primary. The thing is, nigga,
you can't primary one hundred people. What is you talking about?
So he's like I'll start a political party.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
Okay, my nigga, good luck.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
I just want you to remind everybody that Autumn companies
that we got from Elon. This nigga ain't start but
one of them.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Man.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
But it's law now, So what are you gonna do now?
Budgetary stuff? So Trump do all these tax cuts. He
do all these things, but the tax cuts ain't enough
right to cover the financial shortfall for what he want
to spend, because demand just put forty five billion dollars
(50:08):
into ice, like turn it up the notch on ice,
which is part of why you get to see the
alligator Alcatraz, right, He turning up the money there, and
in the hopes to do all the shit he want
to do, he increased our credit limit by five.
Speaker 2 (50:29):
Trillion dollars.
Speaker 3 (50:32):
Now, let me ask you this, what the hell credit
card is gonna look at you and say, sir, your
past your credit line and you haven't paid any of
the interest in the last ten years. So here's what
(50:52):
we're gonna do. We're gonna increase your credit limit. My nigga,
what this ends all of the fiscal this diffraction. I
thought we was fiscally conservative. I thought we understood that
you don't reward bad behavior, don't matter because we need
(51:18):
to get them darkies out this country, and we're gonna
spend this money now. The find out phase is gonna
happen on the whole other president when somebody gotta pay
this bill. But everybody liked the one that spends. Everybody
liked the one that's like bringing the new bags of
clothes in there. Nobody liked the one that says, my nigga,
we don't have this money.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
Swipe the card. He's just wiping the card. There it is.
Speaker 3 (51:53):
Now lastly, next and right here, Matt is where I'm
asking you to put that section about about we're not
going to see the effects of this until years from now.
The last thing I'd like to add to this is
(52:14):
an encouragement to try to remember today. In this sense,
the hard part about communicating why this was so bad
is that the effects won't be seen until many years
(52:36):
from now, probably a whole other president, unless Trump has
his way and dies in office, which I think he's
going to.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
Try to do.
Speaker 3 (52:43):
But what I mean by that is, most of the
time people don't have foresight past their nose, which is
why it's so hard to argue with people about climate
change because you can't see far enough into the future
to understand that you ruining your your hope. Why you
would build a home inside of a Florida marsh in
(53:06):
the Everglades is apparently you don't think that a hurricane
is coming to knock over your house. Why you would
build in a floodplaine, Nigga, it's called a floodplane because
you can't see far enough into the future or you
think you strong enough to withstand it.
Speaker 2 (53:23):
The point I'm trying to make is.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
When the effects of these things happen, when it actually
gets implemented and we are in the find out stage,
most people are gonna blame the current president. And the
problem is you're gonna have to go back and the
current president's gonna be like, dude, y'all asked for this
in twenty twenty five, I got handed.
Speaker 2 (53:48):
That's woman. People are that president's economy was horrible. Nigga.
Speaker 3 (53:51):
That president got handed this economy. It had to work
with what he had. Right, So, as a conscientious voter,
I'm asking you to have a little foresight and a
little patience. Now when we get to the find out stage.
(54:12):
Another request I'm having which we're Some of the Maga
Republicans are in the find out stage when they realize
they favorite taco staying ain't open no more. Right, these
people that own farms is like a harvest is coming
and I ain't got nobody to pick them. All these almonds,
(54:36):
all these radishes, they're going to die because there's not
enough people to pick them. There's nobody there to clean
your hotels. Like it's not what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (54:47):
Right?
Speaker 3 (54:48):
They saying I didn't vote for this. I thought you
was gonna get rid of the criminals. I ain't think
you was getting rid of miss Martinez, just the nice
lady that cleans our house.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
You doing well.
Speaker 3 (55:03):
I don't know how you didn't know that was coming.
But now that you're there, what we need to be
as those that were like, listen, this man is a
con artist and he's using you. Is that when they
hit the find out stage, be welcoming to be like,
hey bro, I know we'll come on. I know listen,
you got hoodwinked bamboozled. But you know what, here, come
(55:24):
over here, here's what he was promising you. Here's how
what we're trying to do is actually that like We
actually are trying to lower your type. We actually are
trying to bring ease of life to our experience as.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
Americans. Right.
Speaker 3 (55:41):
We need to be welcoming, is the point I'm trying
to make. BBL Donnie Hell Politics.

peace building or I'm a part of I've had Shama
on the show.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Y'all know what it is.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's a just a dope program, man, just like talking
about the next year, what it means to exist without
us AID, because this is really real. There are literal
mouths not being fed, there are conflicts not being brokered.
But at the same time, what we've been able to
do is super incredible. So if you want to something
(00:44):
to give for given Tuesday, Search for Common Ground s
FCG dot org. Anyway, But back on the home front,
we're gonna run a little little rewind selecta the bb
Old Donnie, which is about the Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Still hate the fact that it's called the Big Beautiful
Bill Act.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It's ridiculous, but.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
We're kind of living in some of those Uh what
had happened was moments, especially some of the tariffs being
removed and kind of seeing how maybe putting everything all
your eggs in one basket wasn't necessarily.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
A good choice anyway, So rewind this is the reality
we're living in now.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
All right, bb el donnish bb e donnie woob don it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So okay.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So in the anniversary time of the destruction of Kendrick
or Wow, the destruction of drake Man, I feel like
we're missing the recognition and the contribution of Metro Bluemen
(02:33):
with BBL Drizzy that played a huge role in the
fall of the Drakester now fall is obviously a relative term.
He still has an enormous amount of fans. Nokia still
is going up baby Girl in another piece of incredibly
(02:59):
toned deaf. He is not like us. More evidence. His
new record is called the Iceman, as in your truly
not watching what's going on with the culture, or you
wouldn't use the term never mind. Also, he posted a
(03:23):
picture of himself with his new abs, which look like
a comic book like it was so obviously that's plastic surgery.
It was like, sir, you have square abs that I
(03:46):
am positive is what we say it.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
That's a.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Just proudly posting my nigga your abs. You that's plastic surgery. Time,
oh man, to be that light skin and oblivious to
really not care, it's amazing anyway. BBL Drizzy, I make
(04:18):
some respect needs to be put on and let the
record show that BBL Drizzy played.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
A very big role.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
In addition to not Like Us and the subsequent GNX record. Anyway,
we're talking about BBL, Donnie though, okay, and by BBL
I mean Big beautiful Bill.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Act.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I it frustrates me so much that act is at
the end of it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It's like ATM.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Machine like.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And just he don't care.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You're gonna sell merch. You're gonna sell merch for Alligator Alcatraz,
you don't care. So we got to talk about what's
in it? Why should you care? What was the play
and what we have to look forward to.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Y'all ready? Hook politics Prime watch the lighting drastically change.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
That's good video production because you know I don't color
correct this for you guys that watch it. Anyway. Currently
on my signal chats is the ice and military at
MacArthur Park. Just at the park, just black people a
(06:02):
little distracted, really want to finish this and get out there.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Fourth of July was very strange. Performed fourth of July.
This is all preamble. I'm gonna get to the bill
I just really I don't want.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
To talk about it.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I do I have to, uh, and just it's just
Cali going up right now. Man. We're in this place
called place ta Alvera Street now Alverara Street is. This
was the center of when California became a state. Well
before that, the center of it was basically like where
(06:40):
the city was established. It's right by the river because
that's where the natives lived, because that's where the fresh
water was. Natives is in the Tungula tribe. Anyway, Alvera
Street was where we would go for field trips as
a kid. Go by Aguayaveda, some incense and get the
(07:02):
best taquitos at Salito Lindo at the end of the street. Anyway,
performing there with the liber crew is beautiful. Me scare
of from Living Legends you may or may not know
what I'm talking about, and a bunch of the crew
from beat rock music, the Hommie Bam Bamboo, the person
(07:24):
who I've interviewed many times on this show or twice
on this show. That's his label, so you already know
they about they about they about that action. But towards
the end was helicopters. I feel like flying solo, we
could touch them. Just police everywhere because it's right by
the federal building, the whole the detention center, everybody being held,
(07:47):
and it just it's the worst, the tear gas and
smoke bombs. I just we don't we can't catch a
break here.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Man.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Still supporting families.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I'm gonna send you all some more links for some
family JAKA support in the meantime.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But yeah, let's get to it, BBL.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Donnie, big beautiful bill Act.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Now, first of all, here was the play. You have a.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Agenda for your administration, right, These are the what you
keep saying, These are the things that you were promising
you were gonna pull off as you become the executive, right,
And when you do that, they're obviously things having to
(09:10):
do with the broad structure of the running of the country.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
So it's economics, foreign policy, you know, immigration, all of it,
domestic stuff, infrastructure.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
All of it.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
It's all those things, right, and all those things, because again,
you have to convince the entire country over a lot
of stuff. Right now, once you start trying to pass laws,
pass bills to enact those things that you said you
promised to do, there should be an understanding that everybody
(09:48):
ain't gonna like everything, right, since everybody ain't gonna like everything,
and because it's fifty different states, each of those states
have their own invested interests on things that help them
or don't help them. Now, if the system is working correctly,
then what happens is President has this idea, you bring
it to the legislative branch. The legislative branch gets to say, now,
(10:12):
wait a minute. Now, I don't know if I feel
this one, because you know us over here in you know,
the Southern States, like I don't know, say, for example,
it's like because of Doug climate change, It's like, seriously,
what we experience in right now in them po folks
in Texas, Look, the floods are getting more intense.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Doc.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And I know you don't want to admit that this
is a side effect or this is the effects of
climate change, but it is right like that whatever weather
you got is about to the game gets turned up.
That's that's what our changing climate means. It's not like
why you understand what I mean by that, Like they
just crank the game. So if you're in a flood
(10:52):
zone a place that normally floods, it ain't gonna flood
the way it used to flood. This flood built different,
which is what's happening in Texas right now.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So you like, listen.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I know you got all these rules about like budget
cuts for this, budget cuts this. I know you promised
the American people blah blah blah blah. However, I live
in this state that like we really need, we really
need the bread for our weather services. I know everybody
got jokes about FEMA, but my nigga, I need FEMA
to get out here as quick as possible. So I'm
with all the shit you're doing, all the racist shit
(11:24):
you're doing for immigration, but I'm gonna need you to
keep this FEMA money coming. So you break up the ideas. Right,
you go to a restaurant. This is as metaphorically speaking.
You go to a restaurant and it's like, I don't
like everything on the menu, right, I should be able
to order a bunch of different things. And when I
(11:45):
get the order, like for somebody like me, you know,
when you get to my pedigree of age, you know,
your digestice system decides it wants to quit doing certain things.
You feel me So like for me, it was like
most black people to is dairy, like you hit a
certain age and that that that dairy, that that that
(12:06):
that milk. Baby, like, you can't just be you gott
just be. You can just be eating that cheese like
you used to. Baby, you understand I'm saying. So like
you want to be able to order something and be
like yo, can you hold the cheese or you know again,
like that glue. You can't just be eating bread like
you can't be just can't listen, you know the way
(12:27):
my stomach is set up. You feel me like I
can't just be digesting the stuff I used to be digesting.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And I like that. So I want to be able
to substitute some stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Do you got glue? Do you got sour though? Is
there gluten free buns? Do you can I get this
without the bread? Can I substitute the fries for a salad?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Make my experience better? Do you got other alternatives? I
don't want the entire menu, my nigga, Right, I like
some of the stuff, but I don't like the other stuff. Well,
it's the same with laws. A president brings an agenda
(13:13):
and they say this we want to do for energy,
This we want to do for infrastructure. Do we want
to do for a military? This is what we want
to do for again? Immigration, whatever, right, A bunch of
different stuff, but get But the play for Trump was like,
why are we complicating things? Just put it in one
(13:35):
big bill. Just make it one bill, so you just
vote yes or no. Like it's I like, I need,
I want. I want to do all of this. I
don't want to break it up. I don't want to
do all of it. Either yes or no? Can I
cook or not? So, no matter what you think, Republican
(13:58):
or Democrat, No matter what you think, it's either yes
or no. So when you go to a restaurant, you
either like everything on this menu or you don't eat here.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You see how crazy that sounds.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You go to a place and they say, hey, listen, uh,
there's only one item on the menu, and you look
at it, and the one item got seventeen dishes. It's
a seventeen course meals. Jesus, I have to eat all
seven I have to order all seventeen of these.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yes or no? The hell you mean? Yes or no?
You like?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I really listen. I heard your burgers were amazing. I
do want the fries. I do like the salad. I
would like a salad maybe, but I don't want your
chicken sandwich, your fish and chips. And then why does
(14:59):
your green got rat poisoning in it? I'm supposed to
just drink the green tea with rat poisoning?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yes or no? You either like us or like well, nigga,
I like them. I wanted a burger.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I like the burger, and then the rest, and then
the chef walk out there and say, hey, listen, yes
or no? You either with me or against me. And
I'm gonna tell you this. If you say no, I'm
a godeo job and get you fired.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Do you understand that that's what's going on.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
That's what the big beautiful that was to play with
the big beautiful bill. You take everything you gonna do,
you put it in one bill, and you force the
people to say yes or no, and you can't get
on the camera and say which. I would have had
so much respect for the bare minimum of at least
(15:57):
a Republican senator, a Republican congress person just getting up
there and saying the truth. They're saying, hey, listen. I
was with this part. I was with this part. You
had a chance. The lady up in Alaska said, I
know that this is going to be not beneficial for
some Americans.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Ma'am.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I feel like that paragraph isn't finished to what you
were supposed to say. Therefore, I don't think the juice
is worth the squeeze you're.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Supposed to say.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Therefore, I'm going to need the executive branch to take
all these things and break them up into separate bills
so that I can vote on them individually, because I
don't want to order the entire menu. Damn, I just
I want to vote on each individual thing.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It just it's logical unless.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
You're consolidating power and trying to become an autocrat, unless
you're extracting authority and power from the other two branches
of government. This is the way you consolidate power at
the executive branch, Donnie putting up numbers. So I would
(18:00):
have so much respect if a lawmaker would have been
like listen, even a Republican was like listen, dude, I'm
a conservative, like I'm not. But if they'd have been
like listen, I'm a conservative Republican. But the thing is,
I work for my state, and the reality is if
I vote no on this, I'm gonna lose my job.
(18:24):
This man gonna go over there and he gonna figure
out how to primary me. Not only that, follow this,
these people be getting death threats, And I feel like
if you would just say that, like if you was like, listen, dude,
I don't far be it from me to talk trash
(18:45):
about the American people. I'm just saying, like, even if
you are a conservative. He was just like, yo, they
they be shooting congress people homegirl in Minnesota, Like did
I feel like? I feel like y'all not act. I
(19:07):
feel like we're not talking about this enough. Somebody went
to kill a lawmaker. Foe they political views? Nigga, of
course I'm gonna vote yes on the bill, like I
might die right like so like, I feel like I
(19:27):
don't understand why y'all not freaking out about that. So
if I was a Republican lawmaker, if I got on
the camera and said, listen, dog, y'all be shooting people
that don't side with Trump. I don't agree with everything
this man said. I mean, I'm like, listen, like, let
(19:49):
me put the words in your mouth, Like if you
just say, hey, listen, I love this restaurant, but I
don't love everything on the menu all at the same time.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I got dairy problems.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
So when I looked at this one big, beautiful bill act,
I was like, well, I like some of it, but
I don't like it at all. But this man has
made it impossible for me to pick the parts I like.
I have to take all of it or nothing. You
ever dated somebody like that and then just say I
wanted to vote no if they'd have been like I
(20:21):
wanted to vote no. But if I vote no, I
could die. At worst, I could lose my job. At least,
what do y'all want me to do? Of course, I
understand I'm working against you. Who do you want me
to do? You can't do that. You can't do that.
(20:44):
You can't keep it real. You're not allowed to keep
it real. I mean again as the rules of the
hood too, you're not allowed to keep it real. You're
supposed to. You can only say that among the hummies,
at least give me like a wink wink, you know,
blink twice my nigga, like, like, show us some signs.
And then you got the people that like, look, I
(21:04):
ain't running again, so I'm not with none of this.
Some of them dudes, is just like riding off into
the sunset.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Now. Granted again, can't stress this enough.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I really enjoy the political gap fitt. One of the
things that one of the hosts was talking about is like,
it's really not that easy to let yourself be excommunicated,
to be a part of a set, you know, you
part of the gang in them, and then for you
(21:38):
to be the one person to stand up and be like,
have you niggas lost y'all's mind? It seems like in
a movie that's the most powerful position. But you got
to remember, these people just don't work together, and it's
not just like as simple as like, oh, they don't
want to lose their money, No, nigga. We go to
y'all in the same after school, your kids take the
(22:02):
jiu jitsu together. Y'all in the same soccer and tennis thing.
Y'all go to church together. Y'all be having dinners together,
your little wine tasted things. Y'all go on vacation. This
is your circle. Let me tell you something. You look
a little honey in the face.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
This is me talking to the people that I actually
wrote this show for. This is me talking to y'all
who what's outside. You understand what I'm saying, which means
you understand what these politicians is going through, which is this.
(22:42):
You know when you hit junior high and niggas start
getting put on the hood, getting put on the set.
It's as simple as this, and people looking at you like, well,
why would you make that choice for yourself?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Like how could you gangbang?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It's like, well, these are not only are these my friends,
these these the only kids I know.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
We live in these apartment complexes. You live in these
like duplexus, these four block radio RADII. I don't know
you live in. You just live in this on this
one street. These are the kids on the street. I've
been playing with them since head start. We go to
school together, We've had the same babysitter, we was in
(23:26):
the same summer. Because these are the only kids I know,
they are my friends. I have to see them every day.
This nigga literally live next door. His brother dated my sister,
my oldest cousin, and his uncle. They play Domino's like,
this is literally my community. These are literally the only
(23:48):
people I know from eleven years you let eleven years old,
every person you know is involved in this. I mean
what do you What do you want me to do?
I can't move, and if I move, I'm moving into
another neighborhood where those kids are the only kids they knew.
(24:14):
It's just just it's not that simple as just being like,
say no to drugs or I'm not going to get
involved in criminal like nigga, these are the only they're
the only people. Or do you have the fortitude to
all summer stay inside, never hang out even if I'm
(24:35):
gonna even move this to now, like these people you
play video games with, they gonna have to be.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
In other states. There's no one else.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
So I say that to say I understand that you
can't just be like fuck Trump, he crazy. You're in
this is your entire network. Having said that, I did it.
(25:12):
I enjoyed my set. Yeah it was lonely, But what
you find is there's plenty of other kids in your
neighborhood that really don't want to do this that are
as Kendrick, good kid, Mad City. I love you, my nigga.
You will always be my nigga. We always grow up together.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
But I'm just not going I'm not going in the
alleyway with you. The just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
A lot of times, Oh jis respect that it's gonna
be weird for a little bit. You're gonna get chased
home for a while, right, I feel that. But I
tell you what, they hate their enemies more than they
mad at you for not getting put on. Let me
tell you why, because I know still when push came
to shove and it was time to get down, the
(26:04):
helmy showed up, you know, and then you learn that
the world is so much bigger than your own neighborhood,
and there are people.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
All over the world.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I feel like one of the greatest gifts that I've
received through the Lord God Almighty was the fact that
I grew up in a Mexican neighborhood, because that meant
that in a lot of ways, I was just overlooked.
Like I would have had to have forced myself into
(26:37):
Belinda Flats, which was the neighborhood that I it was
the hood that was a you know, part of Floridentsia.
Like I'd had to push myself into that, you know
what I'm saying. They were my homies, but I would
have had to like force myself, Like Mike, I had
a cousin that was from Inglewood, you know, and he
was when he came to the Inland Empire, when I
(26:59):
was living there for a little bit. You know, whatever
Ingle was said that, you know, was a part of that.
He was considering getting down with them. You know what
I'm saying. I could have got down with them, because
that's you know, that's my family. We fell in lower
hip hop. We found other things, started doing graffiti, I
started skateboarding, and a lot of that was because for
(27:23):
me personally, I just didn't I just found other things.
But you got to get that first original fortitude to
be like, I'm not just going to fall in line.
That's a rambling preamble as to the science behind the
big beautiful bill. But do you follow me? You make
(27:44):
it a yes or no question. You either take it
off or you don't. And why it passed is because
of what I just explained. What are you gonna do, dude?
You could die if you're a Republican.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Now, what's in the bill next? All right?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Since the bill is literally everything, you gotta stop and
talk about a few things. These are the highlights. I'm
gonna try to get not fully into the mangroves of it,
but at least a little more detail than like the
opinion shows that're just like it's only gonna help the rich.
(28:42):
You're gonna lose your medicaid, Like what the fuck do
you mean by that? Right, So, the first big thing
everybody talking about, which they should talk about, is the
twenty seventeen tax cuts that they are getting extended. And
I think if Donnie have his way cemented forever, your
next question should be, hey, prop what were the twenty
(29:04):
seventeen tax cuts? And I'm about to tell you now,
if you're watching this, I'm gonna turn to the other
screen and read my notes because it's not like I
gotta memorize. So twenty seventeen tax cuts. The tax breaks
were numerous, so there was a lot of different things
that changed. One was like the amount of individual tax brackets. Right,
(29:28):
this is gonna get a little like thorny because our
tax laws are absurd. But what we considered low income,
middle income, high income, all that good stuff. That mark
moves depending on what brackets you in is the percentage
of how you taxed, Which was why Bernie was just like,
(29:52):
I don't understand why kn' just be a flat tax.
Everybody gets taxed ten percent, whatever number. He's just like
it just seemed so simple. It don't have to be.
I don't understand all this different stuff anyway. So there
was a lowering of tax rates, more tax brackets, and
(30:14):
increasing the standard deductions. I'm going to get into what
all this stuff means. A family tax credit, itemized deductions,
and personal exemptions were eliminated. Now here's the thing I am.
Since I'm self employed, I'm an artist, and anybody that does,
(30:35):
like you know, gigwork, you know, if you have to
turn in W nine's all the time, you understand that,
like when you get a check, they have not taken
taxes out right, so it is on you to show
a P and L or a profit and loss or
like what you've been spending. And those things are things
(30:57):
you can claim on your taxes. Now me as an
artist or what forever I could, I could say public figures,
so that meant like my outfit, my travel with my
food artist as I was a touring artist, every flight,
every hotel, every everything, I will report it to my
taxes as expenses, right, And the hope was if you
do it right, your expenses in relation to your income
(31:22):
will weigh the thing out so you don't end up
owing the irs money.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Right.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Now, on top of that, I was a parent, So
as a parent, there I have deductibles, the you know, childcare,
just the cost of what it takes to have a kid.
Was there was a dollar amount around that when it
comes to the taxes. Now, what the tax thing did
(31:50):
is say that, Okay, listen, let's just make a standard deduction.
And the standard deduction went from twelvey seven hundred to
twenty four thousand for married couples, right, or or it doubled, yeah,
twelve thousand, Yeah, for married couples. For single filers, the
standard deduction will increase from six three hundred and fifty
(32:12):
to twelve thousand, which is about seventy percent of the
families would choose a standard deduction rather than itemized deductions. Right,
and this could rise over eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I doubled, right.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
The personal exemption is eliminated. This was a deduction of
four thousand fifty dollars per taxpayer unless it's earned in
an estate or trust. I know you all already glazing
over they saying is this it hurt me?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Really is?
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Rather than you trying to hope that your deductions things
that you know tax exempt gifts and you know, donating
this stuff hoping that the things that you present, right as,
oh man, I donated this charity, I donated to this
is equal to or more than twenty four thousand dollars,
(33:05):
right because if the deduction is less than that, it
don't make no difference.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Right, you don't.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
You are only getting You are only able to claim
this amount as a deduction. So no matter what you made,
this amount is it for some people that's great? What
that means is that like if you just claim that,
if you just claim that, then if you didn't give
enough or you don't have enough write offs to reach
that threshold, then it ain't no point because you ain't
(33:37):
gonna get the deduction. If you got more than that
kind of hurts you because I don't get to claim
anything above that. It's a standard, right, It's twenty four thousand,
That's what it is. So if I was like, like,
I make this much, but I gave that much, it
don't matter. You can only claim twenty four thousand dollars,
you know what I'm saying. So for me personally it hurt, right,
(33:59):
but or some households it helped the child credit tax, right,
it doubled from one thousand dollars to two thousand dollars,
fourteen hundred of which which is refundable. So like whatever
you paid on childcare, you could get fourteen hundred dollars
back if you got kids. That sounds great, right. So
there were a handful of things that really helped.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
People.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Right.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
So the argument that Trump could make is that I
don't understand me somehow, like this was great, Like, you
guys got to cut in your taxes. However, the cut
in our taxes paled in comparison to the cut in
the taxes for the super wealthy. Right, So when you
(34:52):
do it, when you do the math, it was households
whose income was in the top percent. Right, we'll see
where we receive an average tax cut, tax cut of
more than sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Right, So.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
In relation to us, when everything gets said and done,
we're getting more like a five hundred dollars tax cut.
When you do all the map together. I don't want
to get into it. It's just it's too hard to explain. Right,
But basically, these are households that make four hundred thousand
dollars or more. Right, So essentially what you're saying is
(35:32):
the wealthies tax cut was triple ours. You following that like,
everybody got a cut, but their cut was a bigger cut,
so they already don't pay their fair share amount that
ain't got to pay even less. So when the Democrats
(35:54):
got on the stage and was like, this tax cut
really ain't helping you, it's really helped them. What they
need to do at this moment is to hammer home
how that worked. It's like your big brother who got
a job, your big sister who got a job, walks
(36:14):
in with a big old bag of fries and some
in and out Chick fil A. I don't know what
a burger for all you Texans. You walk in there
with the spicy siracha ketch up whatever, right, and then
he give you two fries and you're like, oh dope.
But then he give the middle brother a whole burger
(36:37):
and fries, and you like, why get why he get
a whole meal? And your oldest brothers say, I don't
understand why you're not happy about the fries you got.
When I walked in here, you ain't had no fried.
Now you got fries. What you worried about his fries?
For you like nigga, he just ate he just because
(37:01):
he's already had a meal and you're just gonna give
him more.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I'm still hungry. And he like, oh, I always got
your hand out.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Huh, Like nikka, what the I'm just saying, he don't
he don't need the burgers. I'm the one that need.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Like I thought, I thought you was taking care of us.
It's not taking care of you.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Okay, So the twenty seventeen tax cuts are staying, right,
(37:59):
then you are also added the no tax on tips
and the senior or overtime and the senior Uh there
are some like senior citizen tax breaks. Now this is
another one of those situations where they like, what, I
don't understand why you're not happy about this? How could
you possibly find a complaint for this? Well, the complaint
(38:19):
is if businesses are allowing you to keep your tips
without taxing it, what they will probably do is pay
you less or remove your benefits because you already you're
getting extra, You're getting free money, so why should I
(38:41):
have to you get to keep that. So then I
guess that means I don't have to pay you as much? Right,
Like wait, what, well, yeah, why would I get why
would I give you this amazing benefits package because the
(39:02):
business is like, well, we have to cover our business taxes.
You just get to have free money. Well then I'm
just gonna pay you less. And it seems like you
should be it should even out for you, to which
you should say evening out is not what I needed
(39:26):
this for, sir. I don't make enough, so this was
supposed to help me. This is you having your two
fries again. I don't understand what you're complaining about. You
about to get tax free money. It's one of the things.
So it sounds great, right. It defunds a lot of
(39:47):
the clean energy bills that we were working out with.
Now here's where again I wish Red state lawmakers would
articulate the is you here right? I understand that for
some reason your team just wants to believe that coal
(40:09):
and oil are somehow holier than wind and solar. But
set aside to fact that you're putting rat poison inside
of your iced tea. Set that aside, right, most like
wind farms and solar panel, like big old land farms,
(40:34):
things are things that the government were buying. It was
land the government was buying from Red States.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
So like y'all was.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Y'all stood to make a lot of money from this.
It's also very complicated because you're buying that land from
who A lot of that land was like pristine you know,
state parks. A lot of that land was like farmland,
from families who've had it forever. I understand that it's complicated.
(41:07):
I'm just saying, if you was a lawmaker, you just
took money out of your own pocket. You just voted
against your own bread. The government was going to pay
you for the use of your land. You can't do
that in California. We ain't got no space. Y're the
ones with the space. I don't understand you hurting yourself
(41:30):
is what I'm trying to stay here right. Also, the
next one is the medicaid situation. Now, now the Medicaid
situation is a little difficult because they keep saying that
it's going to kick some people off, and it is.
Some people are just gonna genuinely lose their Medicaid. But
what it's what it's essentially saying is this, It's saying,
(41:53):
you need to prove that you're doing something right food stamps, Medicaid.
You need to prove that you're doing something. One of
those ways you prove you doing something is you have
to prove employment right now. If you all disability, they
totally understand that you need to prove that you're doing
some sort of community service. If we're just gonna be
(42:14):
giving you this money, we need to know that you're.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Doing this right now.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
The way that they did that, it went from like
for some of the things, it went from like quarterly
to monthly. You have to monthly prove that you've been
doing community service or that you're employed, and you have
to somehow do that on I don't know an app.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Is there a website you have to call in? How
do you show? How do I prove this? Now? Listen,
most people don't read nor understand websites. Right now, we
talk in medicaid.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
So have you seen the last time yo Mama tried
to post something on Instagram?
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Have you ever tried to.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Turn in an invoice or a receipt to your employer?
How difficult that is? Listen, I'm struggling with iHeart right now.
I'm still waiting on a check from them because the
account processing thing they ain't like the first way I
sent the invoice, and then they looked at the W
(43:25):
nine and they told me the W nine was out
of date, and I looked at it and I was like,
it's not out of date. And I just sent them
the same one and there was like received, thank you
will process it. And I'm like, I did this this.
You were supposed to pay me this in April, right.
I don't know if it's a bot on the other
side of the thing, and these is just emails. I
(43:47):
don't like it's it is so difficult. Do you understand
the difference between the copay and a deductible No.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Have you ever tried to.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
Like file a form on the DMV realize the form
was wrong? Now try doing that while you starving. I
just it's like the navigation the sheer paperwork alone, and
if you click D when you were supposed to click see,
it cancels out the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
You ever had that you put a comment instead of
a period.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
People trying to you know, when you try to like
like say, like Lord forbid you go by your middle name,
but your driver's license has your first name and then
buy an airplane ticket, they gonna mess around and tell
you this ain't you. You're like, I know you see
on my driver's license that that's my middle name. I'm
just saying it was like, that's not what the ticket say.
(44:39):
You can't get on this flight. I'm telling you it's
gonna be crazy. Now Here's where these people there told
on themselves because out their mouth they saying, no one's
losing their medicaid, We're just getting rid of fraudsters. All
you gotta do is just I'm just losing their medicaid.
All you gotta do is just prove it, like just
(45:01):
or we're just saying we're not taking medicaid from anybody.
Just show us proof that you're doing the thing you
need to be doing. But they also have a calculated
dollar amount of how much they saving on medicaid, So
which one is it? So you're counting on people not
(45:22):
doing the task that you just know you made so difficult,
so much so that you've already put that number of
savings in a line item, which means to me, you
know you're taking medicaid. And what you're trying to say
(45:46):
is or I'm not taking it. I just know you're
not gonna do the paperwork, and you losing it yourself.
And on the medicaid thing, here's where you get even
most psycho. A lot of y'all gonna lose your Medicaid.
And I know you're gonna lose your Medicaid because your
medical your health insurance is a state one that got
(46:09):
a cute little name. It's not called Medicaid, so you
don't know that that the funding for that is actually Medicaid.
California got California Cover. That might be a little different
because it's a whole different funding process, but most states
have their own cute little name for the state ran
health insurance that's Medicaid. Just like last year, people being like,
(46:34):
I don't like a I don't like Obamacare, but I
love the Affordable Care Act, My nigga, they are the
same thing. The Affordable Care Act is where you are
getting your state funded health insurance. Niggas, don't read not
(46:55):
only that you said, don't affect you because you got
private health insurance. Do you know how hospitals work? Do
you know how private insurance works? You know your premium
inside of the costs of that. Why they need to
know where you live, it's relative to how many people
(47:19):
ain't got insurance in your area.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
What do I mean by that?
Speaker 3 (47:23):
Somebody cut their finger off, who ain't got no insurance
and they come into the emergency room. Somebody got to
pay for that. It's seven hundred dollars. They ain't got
the money for it. So whatever shortfall that's there, so
that the hospital can at least recoup some of them costs,
they roll that cost.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
Into premiums Medicaid.
Speaker 3 (47:49):
Why that's there, it's for those particular situations, so that offsets.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Some of the costs, but not all of the costs.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
Again, the rest of it gets roll into your premiums,
which means that the more people that are insured stay
with me now, the lower your private insurance could cost. Therefore,
the less people that are insured, the more your premium is.
(48:27):
Because who not gonna lose day money?
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (48:31):
You know, who ain't gonna lose their money?
Speaker 2 (48:52):
And lastly, the EV mandates as a complete shade.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
To your boy, your boy old musk who got so
frustrated with it, who tried to tell the politicians this
was so funny. Whoever votes for the big beautiful bill act,
I am going to primary primary. The thing is, nigga,
you can't primary one hundred people. What is you talking about?
So he's like I'll start a political party.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
Okay, my nigga, good luck.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
I just want you to remind everybody that Autumn companies
that we got from Elon. This nigga ain't start but
one of them.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Man.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
But it's law now, So what are you gonna do now?
Budgetary stuff? So Trump do all these tax cuts. He
do all these things, but the tax cuts ain't enough
right to cover the financial shortfall for what he want
to spend, because demand just put forty five billion dollars
(50:08):
into ice, like turn it up the notch on ice,
which is part of why you get to see the
alligator Alcatraz, right, He turning up the money there, and
in the hopes to do all the shit he want
to do, he increased our credit limit by five.
Speaker 2 (50:29):
Trillion dollars.
Speaker 3 (50:32):
Now, let me ask you this, what the hell credit
card is gonna look at you and say, sir, your
past your credit line and you haven't paid any of
the interest in the last ten years. So here's what
(50:52):
we're gonna do. We're gonna increase your credit limit. My nigga,
what this ends all of the fiscal this diffraction. I
thought we was fiscally conservative. I thought we understood that
you don't reward bad behavior, don't matter because we need
(51:18):
to get them darkies out this country, and we're gonna
spend this money now. The find out phase is gonna
happen on the whole other president when somebody gotta pay
this bill. But everybody liked the one that spends. Everybody
liked the one that's like bringing the new bags of
clothes in there. Nobody liked the one that says, my nigga,
we don't have this money.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
Swipe the card. He's just wiping the card. There it is.
Speaker 3 (51:53):
Now lastly, next and right here, Matt is where I'm
asking you to put that section about about we're not
going to see the effects of this until years from now.
The last thing I'd like to add to this is
(52:14):
an encouragement to try to remember today. In this sense,
the hard part about communicating why this was so bad
is that the effects won't be seen until many years
(52:36):
from now, probably a whole other president, unless Trump has
his way and dies in office, which I think he's
going to.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
Try to do.
Speaker 3 (52:43):
But what I mean by that is, most of the
time people don't have foresight past their nose, which is
why it's so hard to argue with people about climate
change because you can't see far enough into the future
to understand that you ruining your your hope. Why you
would build a home inside of a Florida marsh in
(53:06):
the Everglades is apparently you don't think that a hurricane
is coming to knock over your house. Why you would
build in a floodplaine, Nigga, it's called a floodplane because
you can't see far enough into the future or you
think you strong enough to withstand it.
Speaker 2 (53:23):
The point I'm trying to make is.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
When the effects of these things happen, when it actually
gets implemented and we are in the find out stage,
most people are gonna blame the current president. And the
problem is you're gonna have to go back and the
current president's gonna be like, dude, y'all asked for this
in twenty twenty five, I got handed.
Speaker 2 (53:48):
That's woman. People are that president's economy was horrible. Nigga.
Speaker 3 (53:51):
That president got handed this economy. It had to work
with what he had. Right, So, as a conscientious voter,
I'm asking you to have a little foresight and a
little patience. Now when we get to the find out stage.
(54:12):
Another request I'm having which we're Some of the Maga
Republicans are in the find out stage when they realize
they favorite taco staying ain't open no more. Right, these
people that own farms is like a harvest is coming
and I ain't got nobody to pick them. All these almonds,
(54:36):
all these radishes, they're going to die because there's not
enough people to pick them. There's nobody there to clean
your hotels. Like it's not what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (54:47):
Right?
Speaker 3 (54:48):
They saying I didn't vote for this. I thought you
was gonna get rid of the criminals. I ain't think
you was getting rid of miss Martinez, just the nice
lady that cleans our house.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
You doing well.
Speaker 3 (55:03):
I don't know how you didn't know that was coming.
But now that you're there, what we need to be
as those that were like, listen, this man is a
con artist and he's using you. Is that when they
hit the find out stage, be welcoming to be like,
hey bro, I know we'll come on. I know listen,
you got hoodwinked bamboozled. But you know what, here, come
(55:24):
over here, here's what he was promising you. Here's how
what we're trying to do is actually that like We
actually are trying to lower your type. We actually are
trying to bring ease of life to our experience as.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
Americans. Right.
Speaker 3 (55:41):
We need to be welcoming, is the point I'm trying
to make. BBL Donnie Hell Politics.
