Doge was supposed to be this revolutionary thing that would save us billions by cutting programs we didn't need. Instead, it created many more problems that were previously easily solved by the very programs DOGE cut.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Any of.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Y'all got kids? What a funny way to start.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Okay, let's say you got little kids or preteen or
teen kids. Either way, I feel like the experience is
the same. You done did all the work to get
the house all clean, got it all nice. And you
can track their actions based on the destruction of your
(00:35):
home as they walk in the house. Maybe you got
a roommate like this.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You could be like, oh, word. Okay, so they got home.
They took their shoes off right there. That's just where
they took their shoes off. And then probably had to
go to the bathroom because the backpack right in front
of the bathroom door. Then you could say, oh, this
fool went and got a plate. I know because you
didn't opened up the cabinet and never closed the cabinet.
(01:03):
The refrigerator is it looked like it's ketchup dripping down
the side.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So you probably got something that you need to catch
up with.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I know because there's a smudge of ketchup right there
on the side of the stove where you probably tried
to heat up something. Then there's some breadcrumbs right there
on the other side. I know because you probably must
have made yourself like heated up some sort of sandwich
meat or something made stuff like a little burger or something.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I know that.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Also, you probably got the bag of chips because the
cabinet with the chips is open and a bag of
chips is not even folded over. It's just open just
like this. Then you decided you probably wanted something to drink.
I know because you left three cups sitting on the
counter and I see for your plate. I see the
four plates you decided to use because it took four
(01:49):
plates apparently for you to do this. Clearly didn't sweep.
You spilled some of the juice on the counter. Then
you decided it was time to probably maybe watch something.
I know because none of the remotes are where I
left them. Then you probably got hot and decided, man,
I'm ready to change my clothes. I know because your
(02:11):
socks is sitting right there in the living room. Then
you decided you wanted to play your game. I know
because the remote is right over there on the counter.
And it also got ketchup on it. So when you
walk in the house like, yo, what the hell?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Clean this up.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
They rolling their eyes because now they doing their homework.
I'm doing my homework.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
My boy, the hell did you just do? Let me
tell y'all something. I walked into the house yesterday and
the toilet seat was just off.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Like it was just like not connected to the toilet.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It was just like a.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Jar, like, and it's not so, first of all, how
y'all do that? Secondly, how come nobody said nothing? Y'all
just wasn't going to say nothing? The toilet seat ajar. Listen,
I'm in an all-female house. Nobody told me that most
(03:18):
of my job was going to be removing hair from
showers and various drains in my house. One of them
got colored hair. So because of that, it's drips of
conditioner that's of various colors just on random walls.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I just. Y'all ain't see that? You ain't see.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You ain't get out the shower and see the Sasquatch just.
Aligned across the tiles in the shower. Like maybe it's
because I'm black. Like you remember my wife refer to
her by her prefix.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Dr. Alma is a first-gen Latina.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
She's an Afro-Latina because her granddaddy black.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But that's besides the point.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
She don't look it. She look like a Native American. Anyway,
the point I'm saying is, and also my youngest child, Blacksican.
They hair don't work like mine.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I did not. I'm black as hell, y'all. Black women
wash their hair at the salon.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I don't know nothing about I ain't know nothing about
the swirls the drain I ain't know nothing about the
drain hair and they looking at me like I'm crazy
cause I'm bringing up all this stuff that apparently has
been going on for weeks but they done moved on
to other stuff now I'm just an annoying dad you
(04:48):
just you're like y'all we had a sister.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm like okay How you break the toilet seat? I
just don't understand how the toilet seat got broken.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Now, if y'all reach out to my family in any way,
I'm going to deny all this and call you.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
A liar, okay?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I'm telling you that right now because I love my family,
but I'm also scared of them.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So don't get me in trouble. I'm using this as
an example to say.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
When stuff get broke, when stuff fall apart and you
can track how it fall apart. A lot of times
the diabolicals move on. And they own some other stuff.
So you look like an idiot bringing up all stuff.
And that's what Elon Musk did. Those just went in
(05:51):
there and just broke your kitchen. And then moved on
and looking at you like you crazy. Like, why are
you bringing up old stuff? But right now, we're going
to doze around.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And find out. Hood politics, y'all.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Again, can't stress this enough. If you bring any of
this up to my family. I'm denying it all, and
I'm taking it out on you, okay? Because, again, I'm
a little bit scared of them. It's crazy when somebody
walk into a situation that you know is only going
to cause problems, and then they pat themselves on the back.
(06:37):
And then when the problems finally happen, it's like because
of our inability to see you know, four steps ahead
of us or to reflect or to have an attention
span longer.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Than 30 seconds.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
We look like we talk about old stuff when we
bring up the problems.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Just like Trump bringing up old stuff. And we keep saying, like,
why you keep bringing this? It's like almost the other
way around.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Like, right. Like we didn't already solve this. What is
you still mad about?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
That almost gets the reverse Uno card in this situation
where I'll just be like, my boy, you did this.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And he like, why are you bringing up all this stuff, man?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Like, look, you ever been gaslit so much when people
be talking to you like, listen, okay, I think we all,
I think we both have things that we did wrong
in this situation.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
My nigga, what the? We all did? Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
On the street tip, you know, when you end up
having to fight somebody, Because one of the homies kept
running they mouth and they like, look, man, we was
all a little lit. No, my nigga, you was a
little lit. We're here because you wouldn't shut up.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
That's why we here. Don't put that on know all
of us. It was you.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And we tried to tell you to calm down. Do
y'all see the versus a few weeks ago? Yeah, it
was a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I know you didn't. I know you didn't.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Okay, so it's okay. I have to accept that this
is my demographic. But YG and Game had a versus.
And it was very generational. Like, I think as a
side note, like y'all got to understand what game means
to us. The game came in this moment when, you know,
sort of like Snoop and the G-Funk era and Dre
(08:22):
and them and the Chronic and Doggystyle, like that was
when the center of gravity, Pac, all that, the center
of gravity, Death Row was in the West, you know?
Then the center of gravity was, moved right everything was
east versus west right like you know whether it was
Biggie and them like the center of gravity left the
(08:43):
west and either went south or back to New York
with like 50 and all that like the only like
star star you know this is the Kanye era too
the only star was game so he was kind of
like in this in this weird time that like now
obviously the gravity gravitational pull has kind of changed with
(09:06):
TDE and Kendrick and then like YG and stuff like that.
But like Problem and Buddy and just what's happening, you know, Nip,
like the center of gravity kind of moved back west again.
But the bridge in between all those dudes were in
high school and middle school. Like they weren't, you know,
(09:26):
he was popping when they were kids. So anyway, so
there's a generational respect people have for game. But the
thing about game is, He's a Westside Compton pyro. It's just,
he is a... I think Glasses had the best take
on Glasses Malone. He had the best take where he
was just like, the industry is just not made for
(09:46):
real niggas.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
The thing about Game is he could have been an exec.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I think one of the dudes said that too on
the Cultural Fire show, like, the Cultural Connect show, like,
where it's like, had he wanted to, like, but that's
just not him. Like, Game is just, he just a
hood dude. You know what I'm saying? But he could
have been an exec, like, because everybody admired him. He
was the only one outside, you know, at the time. And, like,
(10:12):
Ant took them niggas on tour. Like, he took Kendrick
on tour. He took Nip on tour. Like, he took
them on tour. It was like, nah, these niggas are next.
You know what I'm saying? Like, And if anything, like
you got to give that to game. Like he was
always willing to be like, was like he did, you
know what I'm saying? But he was always like, it's like, look,
the young niggas are dope, you know? And I think
that's important.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I feel like if I were to psychoanalyze him, I
feel like he's, which is like, I don't need to
say this, but just like, I feel like there was, he's,
he seems to present himself like, like in, in need
of validation, like in a, like in a con, but
he'll say.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I don't give a fuck nigga. This West side cedar block.
You know what I'm saying? Okay. You're right. You know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
But like, I, like, I feel like he still feels
like he doesn't get his flowers. Um, so it's like, it's,
it's just never enough flowers for him. But anyway, the
point I'm making is the versus was, it's so messy.
And it, for industry standards, it looked like park day
to me. Like that was like, what if you, I
(11:14):
know that's not something y'all familiar with, but it's basically,
it's like.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
When, when the gang has a picnic. Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
And a lot of times they be doing kickball tournaments. Like, listen,
it'd be the most wholesome hood rat shit. And, but anyway, they, you,
it's not made for cameras. This ain't made for Apple TV.
This is not made for Apple music or, or comp.
Like you, It is a display of our culture that, honestly, really,
(11:48):
y'all shouldn't see this.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Because you're not going to understand it. You know what
I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Anyway, it was so wild, according to Apple standards, that
they was like, I don't know if we're ever doing
this again.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
And that just cracked me up that that's what happened. Anyway,
it's messy. All I'm about to say is right now is.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
We are living in... the actual effects of the fact
that the way that doge functioned was obviously a shift
f10 word search and that these people did no real
homework they were looking for dei programs y'all remember that
(12:33):
uh that interview with the little 19 year old little
boy that they was asking him like what does di
mean and he goes Well, it's what we say in
the paper. He's like, OK, I see that. But what
do you what do you believe it means? I believe
it means what's on the paper.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah. But like, but do you understand it for yourself?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yeah. OK, well, can you tell me what you think
it means? I think it means what's on the paper,
like my nigga. So then when you had that, how
were you able to look at this program and say
this fits that description? That means you have to have
some sort of understanding. Couldn't say it because they don't.
These dudes were looking for words like trans. diversity, Gaza, whatever,
(13:17):
and just deleting those.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And then.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Elon had the nerve to stand on the screen and say, well,
you know, there was one where we were given millions
and millions of dollars in condoms to Gaza.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Like, why are we given... Why are we giving condoms
to Gaza?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Trump was like, we're giving millions of dollars to Gaza
for condoms. And what are they doing? They're just making bombs.
Why are we giving condoms to Gaza? Can I tell
you why we're giving condoms to Gaza? You know, there's
multiple cities called Columbus. You know, there's two Portlands. There's Portland, Maine,
(14:05):
and there's Portland, Oregon. You know, there's two Salem's. Salem, Massachusetts, Salem, Oregon.
Now cities can have the same name that if you
just did a half a second, if you just read
the next word rather than trying to do some sort
of AI shortcut, you'd know that the city of Gaza
(14:28):
we're talking about is in Mozambique.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's not the Gaza Strip. These people are children.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
So you deleted a program thinking it was one thing
without even doing the homework. Now, the next question is,
why was we giving condoms to Mozambique?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
The city of Mozambique had a city in Mozambique called
the province of Gaza has some of the highest preventable
deaths from sexually transmitted diseases like in the world. Like
these are transmitted like HIV epidemics. These are like the
(15:17):
highest HIV epidemic in the world. So the $ 50 million
that Trump was talking about that we was given to
them was earmarked for HIV prevention in the province of Gaza, Mozambique.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Like, I just, you don't like, I.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Just don't know. I just don't know how, I just,
let's take a break. All right, I'm back.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I just like, the issue is these people is so
prideful that you can't just be like, like, how do
you come back and be like, my bad. I just,
I just killed a million people. Cause I, I didn't,
I didn't read the rest of the sentence. Anyway, that's
(16:52):
one quick one. Next one I want to talk about
is the screw worm. Now the screw worm was something
that an issue that was raised as an example of
true government waste, something that they made fun of. Like,
why are we spending so much money on a, on
(17:12):
a worm? Like this is a taxpayer's money. Like this
is ridiculous, right? Ridiculous. We eradicated the screw worm in 1966.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Why are we still worried about it?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Well, I think it's a good example of like what
one of the justices talked about when it came up
to the Voting Rights Act. It's the idea of saying, well,
I'm not getting wet anymore, so I'm going to close
my umbrella because clearly I don't need it. I'm a nigger.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's because the umbrellas there is why you're not being soaked.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
So let's set that aside for a second. Now, The
screw worm is this, okay, how do I say this? Well,
I'm going to first read from just the definition of
what a screw worm is, okay? Because it's pretty gross. Okay,
so what a screw worm is, is this. It's this,
(18:16):
it's a parasitic fly. And what they do is they
land on like warm-blooded.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Like animals, specifically... are livestock.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
And they burrow into the living flesh of warm-blooded animals,
rarely with humans, but they burrow into the animals and
they lay their larvae inside of living. And so it
becomes like a parasite, right? The fully adult one just
(18:52):
looks like a really big housefly, but they lay hundreds
of eggs into open wombs and moist body openings, more
like noses and ears. So they infect our livestock and
then essentially kill them, right? Or give them all types
(19:13):
of diseases, right? Into healthy living tissue, they cause severe pain,
foul smelling wounds, and potential death if left untreated.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
They are a scourge, right?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Now, in 1966, we had the science to figure out
and the funding to figure out how to sterilize these things, right?
So we spent millions of dollars to figure out like, look, man,
obviously they serve some sort of purpose, but they killing
our food. So they did this program to sterilize them
so they would stop laying eggs. So we figured out
(19:46):
how to eradicate them in the States.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Now, in the.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Darien Pass, which is, if you listen to our other show,
It Could Happen Here, the homie James did a whole
series on the Darien Pass. If you going between North
America and South America, it looked like it when you
look on the map or the globe that you could
just walk the whole thing. No, the road stops and
there is a dense jungle, right? in between North and
(20:10):
South America that is almost impassable. But inside of that,
they still got screw worms, right? So we had outlawed
bringing beef from certain places and we invested a whole
lot of money into making sure that we never had
this problem again, right? Those in them was like, well,
(20:31):
we don't need it. We don't need to keep spending
money on all this. So they So they cut the
school worm program in the Texas tribute.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Watch this.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
At a Senate Agricultural Committee hearing earlier this month, this
was last year, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Collins was resolute.
Her agency was full and well-prepared. for the New World
Screw Worm and had kept it at bay for months
before the first case was confirmed in South Texas CAF
(21:10):
earlier in June. Now this was in, this was this year.
As the senators asked the US Department of Agriculture needed
further resources to combat the parasitic fly and if 2025
department cuts had an impact on the governor's capacity to prepare.
Rollins maintained that the federal government from the White House
(21:32):
down was brought in. She said, I walked into the
OVA office and I said, there's a pretty serious threat
of the livestock headed our way. And we need 500
million sterile flies. We're only producing 100 million out of
Panama because everyone took their eye off the ball years ago.
And he said, Donald Trump said, okay, what do you need?
(21:52):
What Rollins got was $ 1. 3 billion in emergency funding to
tackle the New World Screw Problem, which she wouldn't have
needed had those not cut the program. So you cut
the screw worm program. Screw worms came back. Now you
giving me money to take care of the screw worm.
(22:14):
A problem we didn't have. So when you create a
mess that wasn't there and then get credit for cleaning
up half of the mess that you created and then
present yourself as a hero is what's happening with the
screw worm.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's pretty gross.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Now, obviously, our politicians are playing the blame game as
to who.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Created this problem, right?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Now, according to fatcheck.org, the Agriculture Secretary, meanwhile, has said
that the previous administration hadn't done anything to combat the screwworm,
but she wrongfully claimed that there has been no funds
secured and no plan deployed. The Biden administration approved nearly
$ 275 million in emergency funding for the screwworm in late 2023,
(23:09):
meaning we saw this coming, okay? It's true that the
USDA has been significantly smaller under Trump. In one year,
the department lost around 200,000 employees, including 2,000 members or 23%
of the agency's inspection service, according to the analysis of
(23:29):
the National Sustainable Agricultural Coalition. The Agricultural Research Service Agency's
chief scientific arm that is involved with the SteroFly's efforts
also lost 2,200 people, 31% of its staff. Now, we
(23:50):
don't know how many of those individuals actually worked on
the screwworm, but to lose 31% of your staff probably
means you ain't going to be as.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Vigilant for issues That's going to kill our food.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Also, as a side note, in Texas, calves that live
on livestock farms near data centers are stillborn.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's just happening right now.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
But the screwworm reemerged after years of warnings from Central
America and Mexico officials telling you this outbreak was coming.
Then last year, Doge, cut the funding for monitoring screw
worms in Central America. Them niggas told you it was coming.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Look, bro.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Now, granted, it's a wild program to say we have
to keep producing sterile flies so that these flies don't
have babies. And we are spending money to do that
in ways that nature can't take.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Look, man, it exists. And they live in the.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Cuts of our food and they stink and they create pain,
but that's where they lay their babies.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's awful. But my nigga, I can't stress this enough.
They ain't been in the States since 1966. And a
year after you cut the program, they're here. Next, let's
(25:37):
talk about Ebola.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
All right.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
The Ebola stuff is under the USAID program, right? That
eliminated about 83% of its programs. Now, we've done so
much about what USAID meant in different small little moments
in culture. But like I said, it's usually hard to
see unless you're looking up close like we look. Now,
(26:36):
y'all saw that the countries of Congo are having an
Ebola breakout. Now, The stupid American brain thinks somehow or
another an ocean protects us from the rest of the
planet as if we're not all on the same planet.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Obviously, that's ridiculous, right? It's the same planet.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
And in the past, before this program got cut, according
to fortune.com, The agency would have had a permanent presence
in countries like Congo and would increase laboratory testing capacity
for Ebola and train healthcare workers in the area of
identifying signs of the virus to collect samples.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
USAID would also liaise.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Between local communities and other agencies like the WHO and UNICEF, WHO,
World Health Organization, During the 2018 outbreak, USAID helped vaccinate
more than 300,000 for.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
The disease, according to the stats, right? Following the latest outbreak,
the U.S.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
State Department said it would give $ 23 million to emergency
aid in Congo and Uganda to bolster the Ebola containment
and prevention of efforts by working to create 50 clinics
for Ebola screening and treatment. Last month, the White House
also requested $ 1. 4 billion to Congress to address the Ebola outbreak,
(28:11):
including $ 800 million in humanitarian response funds. Dedicated resources to
address the spread of this disease are crucial, but they
don't replace the emergency response infrastructure USAID helped create, which
means that you destroyed what we had and now you're
(28:32):
paying the start over. How is that a saving of money?
My friend, we already had a response team. They were
already there with Years of experience. Now, your boy Elon
(28:52):
got on the stage and said, I realized we accidentally
cut the Ebola program.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
That was our bad. And then we put it back
because we're paying attention. They didn't put it back.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
They didn't put it back.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He said they did. They did it. They didn't put
it back. That was Ebola.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
They said, hey, look, we will make mistakes. We won't
be perfect. And when we make mistakes, we'll fix it quickly.
For example, with the USAID, one of the things we
accidentally counseled very briefly was Ebola prevention. This was his statement.
The USAID is the Agency of International Development, which is
largely dismantled by the Trump administration. We restored the Ebola
(29:40):
prevention immediately. There was no interruption.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Must continue.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Public health safety experts say his comments were partially right.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
The U.S. efforts were indeed interrupted. But he did get
some facts wrongs. the U.S. support has not been fully restored.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I disagree fully, completely, wholly that they recognize their mistakes
and put it back, says Dr. Craig Spencer, an emergency
physician and professor at Brown University in the School of
Public Health, who has worked in Ebola for more than
a decade and responded to Ebola outbreaks in Africa. He
(30:22):
says he's in regular contact with officials of the U.S.
Center of Disease Control and Prevention who work in Ebola
and as well as physicians on the ground in Uganda,
where an outbreak was declared in January 30th with nine
confirmed deaths and one of a.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Nurse so far.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
As early as February, the U.S. was not providing funding
for support of testing and port screenings in Uganda because
of Trump's freeze on almost all U.S. foreign assistance, acknowledging
that the absence of the U.S. support in February 12th, Dr.
Mike Ryan said in an interview with NPR that the
(31:01):
World Health Organization will step in to provide resources for
those functions.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Right?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You cut it. And then the thing happened. I just..
Speaker 1 (31:13):
You..
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You did it. You did it.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
We had..
Speaker 2 (31:18):
This would have been contained. Like, we had it. The
screw work. Ebola. Nigga, HIV. It was like we... We
did it. Like it was like, we would have been fine,
but you know, doze around, find out.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Now I believe we have an expert coming on in
one of our shows. One of the cool zone media
shows about explosive diarrhea, where, um, cuts to the department
of agriculture.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Thanks to doge kind of led to this.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
So we just, you know, doze around and found out, uh,
We have yet to see the amount of other things
and destruction that could have been completely avoided.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Had you not touched something. We will continue to see.
I don't know, homie.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Man, sometimes, listen, you know your mama be like, don't
touch nothing. Your help ain't helping. And clean this stuff up.
So the next time you create a mess and somebody
look at you and be like my nigga you did
(32:31):
all this don't be like elon on some like well
i'm already well i'm on to the next thing now
like and you're welcome you're welcome for saving you money
my nigga i still had to spend all that money.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
And now it's.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Worse i guess he like his homie because now we
gotta pay to go through the straight.

If you understand urban living, you understand politics. These people
is not smarter than you. We'll see y'all next week.
Any of.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Y'all got kids? What a funny way to start.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Okay, let's say you got little kids or preteen or
teen kids. Either way, I feel like the experience is
the same. You done did all the work to get
the house all clean, got it all nice. And you
can track their actions based on the destruction of your
(00:35):
home as they walk in the house. Maybe you got
a roommate like this.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You could be like, oh, word. Okay, so they got home.
They took their shoes off right there. That's just where
they took their shoes off. And then probably had to
go to the bathroom because the backpack right in front
of the bathroom door. Then you could say, oh, this
fool went and got a plate. I know because you
didn't opened up the cabinet and never closed the cabinet.
(01:03):
The refrigerator is it looked like it's ketchup dripping down
the side.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So you probably got something that you need to catch
up with.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I know because there's a smudge of ketchup right there
on the side of the stove where you probably tried
to heat up something. Then there's some breadcrumbs right there
on the other side. I know because you probably must
have made yourself like heated up some sort of sandwich
meat or something made stuff like a little burger or something.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I know that.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Also, you probably got the bag of chips because the
cabinet with the chips is open and a bag of
chips is not even folded over. It's just open just
like this. Then you decided you probably wanted something to drink.
I know because you left three cups sitting on the
counter and I see for your plate. I see the
four plates you decided to use because it took four
(01:49):
plates apparently for you to do this. Clearly didn't sweep.
You spilled some of the juice on the counter. Then
you decided it was time to probably maybe watch something.
I know because none of the remotes are where I
left them. Then you probably got hot and decided, man,
I'm ready to change my clothes. I know because your
(02:11):
socks is sitting right there in the living room. Then
you decided you wanted to play your game. I know
because the remote is right over there on the counter.
And it also got ketchup on it. So when you
walk in the house like, yo, what the hell?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Clean this up.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
They rolling their eyes because now they doing their homework.
I'm doing my homework.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
My boy, the hell did you just do? Let me
tell y'all something. I walked into the house yesterday and
the toilet seat was just off.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Like it was just like not connected to the toilet.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It was just like a.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Jar, like, and it's not so, first of all, how
y'all do that? Secondly, how come nobody said nothing? Y'all
just wasn't going to say nothing? The toilet seat ajar. Listen,
I'm in an all-female house. Nobody told me that most
(03:18):
of my job was going to be removing hair from
showers and various drains in my house. One of them
got colored hair. So because of that, it's drips of
conditioner that's of various colors just on random walls.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I just. Y'all ain't see that? You ain't see.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You ain't get out the shower and see the Sasquatch just.
Aligned across the tiles in the shower. Like maybe it's
because I'm black. Like you remember my wife refer to
her by her prefix.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Dr. Alma is a first-gen Latina.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
She's an Afro-Latina because her granddaddy black.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But that's besides the point.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
She don't look it. She look like a Native American. Anyway,
the point I'm saying is, and also my youngest child, Blacksican.
They hair don't work like mine.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I did not. I'm black as hell, y'all. Black women
wash their hair at the salon.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I don't know nothing about I ain't know nothing about
the swirls the drain I ain't know nothing about the
drain hair and they looking at me like I'm crazy
cause I'm bringing up all this stuff that apparently has
been going on for weeks but they done moved on
to other stuff now I'm just an annoying dad you
(04:48):
just you're like y'all we had a sister.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm like okay How you break the toilet seat? I
just don't understand how the toilet seat got broken.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Now, if y'all reach out to my family in any way,
I'm going to deny all this and call you.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
A liar, okay?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I'm telling you that right now because I love my family,
but I'm also scared of them.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So don't get me in trouble. I'm using this as
an example to say.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
When stuff get broke, when stuff fall apart and you
can track how it fall apart. A lot of times
the diabolicals move on. And they own some other stuff.
So you look like an idiot bringing up all stuff.
And that's what Elon Musk did. Those just went in
(05:51):
there and just broke your kitchen. And then moved on
and looking at you like you crazy. Like, why are
you bringing up old stuff? But right now, we're going
to doze around.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And find out. Hood politics, y'all.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Again, can't stress this enough. If you bring any of
this up to my family. I'm denying it all, and
I'm taking it out on you, okay? Because, again, I'm
a little bit scared of them. It's crazy when somebody
walk into a situation that you know is only going
to cause problems, and then they pat themselves on the back.
(06:37):
And then when the problems finally happen, it's like because
of our inability to see you know, four steps ahead
of us or to reflect or to have an attention
span longer.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Than 30 seconds.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
We look like we talk about old stuff when we
bring up the problems.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Just like Trump bringing up old stuff. And we keep saying, like,
why you keep bringing this? It's like almost the other
way around.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Like, right. Like we didn't already solve this. What is
you still mad about?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
That almost gets the reverse Uno card in this situation
where I'll just be like, my boy, you did this.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And he like, why are you bringing up all this stuff, man?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Like, look, you ever been gaslit so much when people
be talking to you like, listen, okay, I think we all,
I think we both have things that we did wrong
in this situation.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
My nigga, what the? We all did? Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
On the street tip, you know, when you end up
having to fight somebody, Because one of the homies kept
running they mouth and they like, look, man, we was
all a little lit. No, my nigga, you was a
little lit. We're here because you wouldn't shut up.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
That's why we here. Don't put that on know all
of us. It was you.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And we tried to tell you to calm down. Do
y'all see the versus a few weeks ago? Yeah, it
was a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I know you didn't. I know you didn't.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Okay, so it's okay. I have to accept that this
is my demographic. But YG and Game had a versus.
And it was very generational. Like, I think as a
side note, like y'all got to understand what game means
to us. The game came in this moment when, you know,
sort of like Snoop and the G-Funk era and Dre
(08:22):
and them and the Chronic and Doggystyle, like that was
when the center of gravity, Pac, all that, the center
of gravity, Death Row was in the West, you know?
Then the center of gravity was, moved right everything was
east versus west right like you know whether it was
Biggie and them like the center of gravity left the
(08:43):
west and either went south or back to New York
with like 50 and all that like the only like
star star you know this is the Kanye era too
the only star was game so he was kind of
like in this in this weird time that like now
obviously the gravity gravitational pull has kind of changed with
(09:06):
TDE and Kendrick and then like YG and stuff like that.
But like Problem and Buddy and just what's happening, you know, Nip,
like the center of gravity kind of moved back west again.
But the bridge in between all those dudes were in
high school and middle school. Like they weren't, you know,
(09:26):
he was popping when they were kids. So anyway, so
there's a generational respect people have for game. But the
thing about game is, He's a Westside Compton pyro. It's just,
he is a... I think Glasses had the best take
on Glasses Malone. He had the best take where he
was just like, the industry is just not made for
(09:46):
real niggas.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
The thing about Game is he could have been an exec.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I think one of the dudes said that too on
the Cultural Fire show, like, the Cultural Connect show, like,
where it's like, had he wanted to, like, but that's
just not him. Like, Game is just, he just a
hood dude. You know what I'm saying? But he could
have been an exec, like, because everybody admired him. He
was the only one outside, you know, at the time. And, like,
(10:12):
Ant took them niggas on tour. Like, he took Kendrick
on tour. He took Nip on tour. Like, he took
them on tour. It was like, nah, these niggas are next.
You know what I'm saying? Like, And if anything, like
you got to give that to game. Like he was
always willing to be like, was like he did, you
know what I'm saying? But he was always like, it's like, look,
the young niggas are dope, you know? And I think
that's important.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I feel like if I were to psychoanalyze him, I
feel like he's, which is like, I don't need to
say this, but just like, I feel like there was, he's,
he seems to present himself like, like in, in need
of validation, like in a, like in a con, but
he'll say.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I don't give a fuck nigga. This West side cedar block.
You know what I'm saying? Okay. You're right. You know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
But like, I, like, I feel like he still feels
like he doesn't get his flowers. Um, so it's like, it's,
it's just never enough flowers for him. But anyway, the
point I'm making is the versus was, it's so messy.
And it, for industry standards, it looked like park day
to me. Like that was like, what if you, I
(11:14):
know that's not something y'all familiar with, but it's basically,
it's like.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
When, when the gang has a picnic. Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
And a lot of times they be doing kickball tournaments. Like, listen,
it'd be the most wholesome hood rat shit. And, but anyway, they, you,
it's not made for cameras. This ain't made for Apple TV.
This is not made for Apple music or, or comp.
Like you, It is a display of our culture that, honestly, really,
(11:48):
y'all shouldn't see this.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Because you're not going to understand it. You know what
I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Anyway, it was so wild, according to Apple standards, that
they was like, I don't know if we're ever doing
this again.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
And that just cracked me up that that's what happened. Anyway,
it's messy. All I'm about to say is right now is.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
We are living in... the actual effects of the fact
that the way that doge functioned was obviously a shift
f10 word search and that these people did no real
homework they were looking for dei programs y'all remember that
(12:33):
uh that interview with the little 19 year old little
boy that they was asking him like what does di
mean and he goes Well, it's what we say in
the paper. He's like, OK, I see that. But what
do you what do you believe it means? I believe
it means what's on the paper.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah. But like, but do you understand it for yourself?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yeah. OK, well, can you tell me what you think
it means? I think it means what's on the paper,
like my nigga. So then when you had that, how
were you able to look at this program and say
this fits that description? That means you have to have
some sort of understanding. Couldn't say it because they don't.
These dudes were looking for words like trans. diversity, Gaza, whatever,
(13:17):
and just deleting those.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And then.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Elon had the nerve to stand on the screen and say, well,
you know, there was one where we were given millions
and millions of dollars in condoms to Gaza.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Like, why are we given... Why are we giving condoms
to Gaza?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Trump was like, we're giving millions of dollars to Gaza
for condoms. And what are they doing? They're just making bombs.
Why are we giving condoms to Gaza? Can I tell
you why we're giving condoms to Gaza? You know, there's
multiple cities called Columbus. You know, there's two Portlands. There's Portland, Maine,
(14:05):
and there's Portland, Oregon. You know, there's two Salem's. Salem, Massachusetts, Salem, Oregon.
Now cities can have the same name that if you
just did a half a second, if you just read
the next word rather than trying to do some sort
of AI shortcut, you'd know that the city of Gaza
(14:28):
we're talking about is in Mozambique.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's not the Gaza Strip. These people are children.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
So you deleted a program thinking it was one thing
without even doing the homework. Now, the next question is,
why was we giving condoms to Mozambique?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
The city of Mozambique had a city in Mozambique called
the province of Gaza has some of the highest preventable
deaths from sexually transmitted diseases like in the world. Like
these are transmitted like HIV epidemics. These are like the
(15:17):
highest HIV epidemic in the world. So the $ 50 million
that Trump was talking about that we was given to
them was earmarked for HIV prevention in the province of Gaza, Mozambique.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Like, I just, you don't like, I.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Just don't know. I just don't know how, I just,
let's take a break. All right, I'm back.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I just like, the issue is these people is so
prideful that you can't just be like, like, how do
you come back and be like, my bad. I just,
I just killed a million people. Cause I, I didn't,
I didn't read the rest of the sentence. Anyway, that's
(16:52):
one quick one. Next one I want to talk about
is the screw worm. Now the screw worm was something
that an issue that was raised as an example of
true government waste, something that they made fun of. Like,
why are we spending so much money on a, on
(17:12):
a worm? Like this is a taxpayer's money. Like this
is ridiculous, right? Ridiculous. We eradicated the screw worm in 1966.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Why are we still worried about it?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Well, I think it's a good example of like what
one of the justices talked about when it came up
to the Voting Rights Act. It's the idea of saying, well,
I'm not getting wet anymore, so I'm going to close
my umbrella because clearly I don't need it. I'm a nigger.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's because the umbrellas there is why you're not being soaked.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
So let's set that aside for a second. Now, The
screw worm is this, okay, how do I say this? Well,
I'm going to first read from just the definition of
what a screw worm is, okay? Because it's pretty gross. Okay,
so what a screw worm is, is this. It's this,
(18:16):
it's a parasitic fly. And what they do is they
land on like warm-blooded.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Like animals, specifically... are livestock.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
And they burrow into the living flesh of warm-blooded animals,
rarely with humans, but they burrow into the animals and
they lay their larvae inside of living. And so it
becomes like a parasite, right? The fully adult one just
(18:52):
looks like a really big housefly, but they lay hundreds
of eggs into open wombs and moist body openings, more
like noses and ears. So they infect our livestock and
then essentially kill them, right? Or give them all types
(19:13):
of diseases, right? Into healthy living tissue, they cause severe pain,
foul smelling wounds, and potential death if left untreated.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
They are a scourge, right?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Now, in 1966, we had the science to figure out
and the funding to figure out how to sterilize these things, right?
So we spent millions of dollars to figure out like, look, man,
obviously they serve some sort of purpose, but they killing
our food. So they did this program to sterilize them
so they would stop laying eggs. So we figured out
(19:46):
how to eradicate them in the States.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Now, in the.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Darien Pass, which is, if you listen to our other show,
It Could Happen Here, the homie James did a whole
series on the Darien Pass. If you going between North
America and South America, it looked like it when you
look on the map or the globe that you could
just walk the whole thing. No, the road stops and
there is a dense jungle, right? in between North and
(20:10):
South America that is almost impassable. But inside of that,
they still got screw worms, right? So we had outlawed
bringing beef from certain places and we invested a whole
lot of money into making sure that we never had
this problem again, right? Those in them was like, well,
(20:31):
we don't need it. We don't need to keep spending
money on all this. So they So they cut the
school worm program in the Texas tribute.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Watch this.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
At a Senate Agricultural Committee hearing earlier this month, this
was last year, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Collins was resolute.
Her agency was full and well-prepared. for the New World
Screw Worm and had kept it at bay for months
before the first case was confirmed in South Texas CAF
(21:10):
earlier in June. Now this was in, this was this year.
As the senators asked the US Department of Agriculture needed
further resources to combat the parasitic fly and if 2025
department cuts had an impact on the governor's capacity to prepare.
Rollins maintained that the federal government from the White House
(21:32):
down was brought in. She said, I walked into the
OVA office and I said, there's a pretty serious threat
of the livestock headed our way. And we need 500
million sterile flies. We're only producing 100 million out of
Panama because everyone took their eye off the ball years ago.
And he said, Donald Trump said, okay, what do you need?
(21:52):
What Rollins got was $ 1. 3 billion in emergency funding to
tackle the New World Screw Problem, which she wouldn't have
needed had those not cut the program. So you cut
the screw worm program. Screw worms came back. Now you
giving me money to take care of the screw worm.
(22:14):
A problem we didn't have. So when you create a
mess that wasn't there and then get credit for cleaning
up half of the mess that you created and then
present yourself as a hero is what's happening with the
screw worm.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's pretty gross.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Now, obviously, our politicians are playing the blame game as
to who.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Created this problem, right?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Now, according to fatcheck.org, the Agriculture Secretary, meanwhile, has said
that the previous administration hadn't done anything to combat the screwworm,
but she wrongfully claimed that there has been no funds
secured and no plan deployed. The Biden administration approved nearly
$ 275 million in emergency funding for the screwworm in late 2023,
(23:09):
meaning we saw this coming, okay? It's true that the
USDA has been significantly smaller under Trump. In one year,
the department lost around 200,000 employees, including 2,000 members or 23%
of the agency's inspection service, according to the analysis of
(23:29):
the National Sustainable Agricultural Coalition. The Agricultural Research Service Agency's
chief scientific arm that is involved with the SteroFly's efforts
also lost 2,200 people, 31% of its staff. Now, we
(23:50):
don't know how many of those individuals actually worked on
the screwworm, but to lose 31% of your staff probably
means you ain't going to be as.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Vigilant for issues That's going to kill our food.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Also, as a side note, in Texas, calves that live
on livestock farms near data centers are stillborn.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's just happening right now.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
But the screwworm reemerged after years of warnings from Central
America and Mexico officials telling you this outbreak was coming.
Then last year, Doge, cut the funding for monitoring screw
worms in Central America. Them niggas told you it was coming.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Look, bro.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Now, granted, it's a wild program to say we have
to keep producing sterile flies so that these flies don't
have babies. And we are spending money to do that
in ways that nature can't take.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Look, man, it exists. And they live in the.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Cuts of our food and they stink and they create pain,
but that's where they lay their babies.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's awful. But my nigga, I can't stress this enough.
They ain't been in the States since 1966. And a
year after you cut the program, they're here. Next, let's
(25:37):
talk about Ebola.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
All right.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
The Ebola stuff is under the USAID program, right? That
eliminated about 83% of its programs. Now, we've done so
much about what USAID meant in different small little moments
in culture. But like I said, it's usually hard to
see unless you're looking up close like we look. Now,
(26:36):
y'all saw that the countries of Congo are having an
Ebola breakout. Now, The stupid American brain thinks somehow or
another an ocean protects us from the rest of the
planet as if we're not all on the same planet.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Obviously, that's ridiculous, right? It's the same planet.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
And in the past, before this program got cut, according
to fortune.com, The agency would have had a permanent presence
in countries like Congo and would increase laboratory testing capacity
for Ebola and train healthcare workers in the area of
identifying signs of the virus to collect samples.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
USAID would also liaise.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Between local communities and other agencies like the WHO and UNICEF, WHO,
World Health Organization, During the 2018 outbreak, USAID helped vaccinate
more than 300,000 for.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
The disease, according to the stats, right? Following the latest outbreak,
the U.S.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
State Department said it would give $ 23 million to emergency
aid in Congo and Uganda to bolster the Ebola containment
and prevention of efforts by working to create 50 clinics
for Ebola screening and treatment. Last month, the White House
also requested $ 1. 4 billion to Congress to address the Ebola outbreak,
(28:11):
including $ 800 million in humanitarian response funds. Dedicated resources to
address the spread of this disease are crucial, but they
don't replace the emergency response infrastructure USAID helped create, which
means that you destroyed what we had and now you're
(28:32):
paying the start over. How is that a saving of money?
My friend, we already had a response team. They were
already there with Years of experience. Now, your boy Elon
(28:52):
got on the stage and said, I realized we accidentally
cut the Ebola program.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
That was our bad. And then we put it back
because we're paying attention. They didn't put it back.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
They didn't put it back.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He said they did. They did it. They didn't put
it back. That was Ebola.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
They said, hey, look, we will make mistakes. We won't
be perfect. And when we make mistakes, we'll fix it quickly.
For example, with the USAID, one of the things we
accidentally counseled very briefly was Ebola prevention. This was his statement.
The USAID is the Agency of International Development, which is
largely dismantled by the Trump administration. We restored the Ebola
(29:40):
prevention immediately. There was no interruption.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Must continue.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Public health safety experts say his comments were partially right.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
The U.S. efforts were indeed interrupted. But he did get
some facts wrongs. the U.S. support has not been fully restored.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I disagree fully, completely, wholly that they recognize their mistakes
and put it back, says Dr. Craig Spencer, an emergency
physician and professor at Brown University in the School of
Public Health, who has worked in Ebola for more than
a decade and responded to Ebola outbreaks in Africa. He
(30:22):
says he's in regular contact with officials of the U.S.
Center of Disease Control and Prevention who work in Ebola
and as well as physicians on the ground in Uganda,
where an outbreak was declared in January 30th with nine
confirmed deaths and one of a.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Nurse so far.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
As early as February, the U.S. was not providing funding
for support of testing and port screenings in Uganda because
of Trump's freeze on almost all U.S. foreign assistance, acknowledging
that the absence of the U.S. support in February 12th, Dr.
Mike Ryan said in an interview with NPR that the
(31:01):
World Health Organization will step in to provide resources for
those functions.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Right?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You cut it. And then the thing happened. I just..
Speaker 1 (31:13):
You..
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You did it. You did it.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
We had..
Speaker 2 (31:18):
This would have been contained. Like, we had it. The
screw work. Ebola. Nigga, HIV. It was like we... We
did it. Like it was like, we would have been fine,
but you know, doze around, find out.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Now I believe we have an expert coming on in
one of our shows. One of the cool zone media
shows about explosive diarrhea, where, um, cuts to the department
of agriculture.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Thanks to doge kind of led to this.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
So we just, you know, doze around and found out, uh,
We have yet to see the amount of other things
and destruction that could have been completely avoided.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Had you not touched something. We will continue to see.
I don't know, homie.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Man, sometimes, listen, you know your mama be like, don't
touch nothing. Your help ain't helping. And clean this stuff up.
So the next time you create a mess and somebody
look at you and be like my nigga you did
