Speaker 1 (00:04):
Media. So look, here's the thing about pimping, hood politics, y'all.
(00:31):
Oh man, I'm okay, I'm sorry, this is too funny
to me. But and this is not a tape recorder
condoning the act of pimping. If you can't tell, I'm
a little sick fighting a little nasal thing. I hope
I don't sound too bad, but I just had to
record this while I was still.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
But the thing about pimping is it's not funny, it's
really that's because it's so absurd.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
The start a thing like this.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
That's what I'm actually laughing at and unbeknownst to me
being just cartoonishly naive.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I know pimps. Just I have some friends that are pimps.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
You know. I also have friends that work in rescuing
women people being trafficked in the sex industry. Like I
just listen, I'm from the hood. It's complicated now. But
the thing about pimping is, if we're talking specifically sex,
sex isn't all that you're selling. You're selling an experience.
(01:40):
You're selling belonging, you're selling companionship, you're selling self worth,
you're selling power. That's what I'm really selling. I'm selling
these John's power for them to finally feel like they
could get abroad like this. Now, obviously it's not only that,
(02:03):
but your product is much more than I just want
a vagiant to put my penis in. Like, It's not
just that, although maybe sometimes it is. The point is
product isn't only about the sex, and any pimp would know,
and any pimp would tell you that if you understand
(02:25):
the game, the iceberg slim. If you understand the game,
the rules that make you a good pimp can be
applied across.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Many different career choices.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Because you just have to know what you're actually selling
right to the john and then also to get the
person to become your lett hue. Now I say all
this to say, listen, listen. Anybody can fall for it
because the product isn't all always just prostitution, pimping coming
(03:02):
at all different sizes and shapes.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You understand what I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Saying, so so so, and we know pimps can come
in different styles. They come sometimes they real brazen and
open slap a girl across the face and you're like,
you know what it is. It's pimping, bitch, you know,
let's talking more walking. You know what I'm saying, like,
gone out there and strut. You know what I'm saying,
Go make my money, you know what I mean? And
other times it's like, well, how you get to that is?
(03:24):
You gotta be a little more smooth. You gotta have
a little more game to you, yo jib. You know
what I'm saying, Why be flying? Like all the rap
references you hear in these songs about like do you
want to ride in the backseat of a caddy? You
know what I'm saying, Like, girl, I'll fly you across
the world. You know what I'm saying, Like you know
you take a little girl you know who you know,
got the little broken home.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
They call them early, right, so little little young girl,
you feel me? Sixteen seventeen, she early. You know, she's
still she's still in the oven. You know, I understand
how terrible this is. But I'm trying to make a point.
You know, you just you get you start prepping her,
you start showing yourself. Look, man, so when you for
her lunch money, it's not twenty that's one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I'm saying. She ain't never carry no hundred outs. Look,
you want to ride.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You know what I'm saying. You're riding in this nice
g wagon. You feel me, girl, you know what I'm saying.
Like I fly you, I fly you to turks of
k Co's. Baby, listen, so you start showing them a
life that they never have, and you say, look, all
this and more can be yours. That's all I need
from you. When I call, you answer the phone. When
I text, you reply to my text. If I ask
(04:22):
you to go somewhere, don't ask no questions, Baby, go
get it. Daddy gonna always take care of you. Daddy
gonna always protect But I know what you want. I
can help you get it. And listen for anybody, anybody,
I don't care what the field is. Anybody, if anybody's
sitting some contract in front of you, when they whole
game is the fact that they are the only people.
(04:45):
They the provider and protector. They are both sustenance you
under see I'm saying, and provision they are both, and
they saying you can't get this nowhere else. Baby, Nobody
gonna love you better. I don't care what that contract is. Listen,
if you looking at that contract, you looking at that job.
If you're looking at that position and you think I
can't walk away from this, if they trying to convince
you they are the only way you could get what
(05:07):
you won't, that's pimping. That's like I'm giving you game, man,
they because they run a game on you. Man. You
know how many times I've had to look at record contracts,
and you know a lot of times the majors come
in there and say, oh, we'll make you a star.
You know why, because they know I want to be
a star. But if I can't walk away from this
and go back to them open mics.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You're all.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Man, If you like I'm never going back, you might
sign away some shit that you ain't know you were
supposed to sign. You Look at that job, you looking
at that position, that company telling you you can't ever
get this place. Look, if you can't slide that contract
across the table and walk away, be careful. You might
about to get pimped. Because all that shit come with
(05:49):
a cost. They tell you they provide you everything you won't.
But if you want it too bad, if you want
it so bad, so bad, that's.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
What we call being thirsty.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You just so thirsty, you might about to get pimped,
and it happens. That how you get into bad contracts.
That's how you get into stupid record deals. That's how
you get into like because you you just had to
have a thing. You can't walk away. I love doing
hood politics, love it well. I continue to talk about
politics and try to like empower young black and brown people,
(06:24):
inner city folk h to be politically and socially aware
and to move into But of course I keep doing it.
But if iHeart decides whatever they decide, like if I
can't walk away from this, then I got some salt
searching to do.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Y'all need to y'all need to keep y'all head about you.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And had he had listened to hood politics. We tried
to tell Kevin McCarthy, boy, We tried to tell you, niggie,
(07:09):
you knew what it was, You knew what you signed
up for. Ain't no way you ain't know what you
signed up for. Listen, let me give you an example,
another example. I'm not giving examples now, Like listen, look
if we outside were out in the hub, we at
the grocery store, you anywhere you outside, you had a party,
you and walking by whatever, and you hear stuff like like,
(07:31):

All of your instincts should tell you it's time to go.
Unless you've been put on the hood own nigga, you

Speaker 2 (08:24):
So when they when so? When they eight blood? Who

Speaker 1 (08:27):

blase bla woop to woop that's what you signed up for.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Now, I know all of your instincts, every instinct in you.
It's like, it's time to leave. Like, nah, nigga, this
is what you signed up for. Listen, this is what
comes with it, y'all. You wanted to be able to
kick it with or you just wanted to have your
little blue bandana, huh, Or you just wanted to be
able to go to.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
The kickback you feel me, Oh, that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You just wanted to You just wanted to look like
a gangst No, nigga, people have died for these flags,
lost multiple family members, friends.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
When you in that life, you start losing people very early,
like actual friends. You start like because you gotta remember
like you signed up, you start bangling you like in
middle school. They're like, you know, you eleven, twelve years old.
By the time you fifteen, nigga, half of your friends
have died. You know what I'm saying, Like, so you
take this shit very serious. There's no running. Hey, hey,
(09:30):
cut what set you claim?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Nigga? You better rep listen, you better find the heart.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I know everything in you saying it's time to go,
But listen, you finna get DP worse than you ever
could imagine.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
You run out of that place.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Oh, nigga, your own set finna whoop your ass because
you know what you signed up for, cav mister McCarthy, Sir, sir,
you knew what you signed up for.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So for the first time.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
In the history of America, y'all understand, this rule was
written in the seventeen hundreds.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Niggie, Niggy, they voted out a speaker.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And he got the nerve, get on the camera and
be like, Oh, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna run
for the position.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Nigga.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You never, God damn it. You never should have ran
in the first place. Oh lord, Okay, let's take a break.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Ira back now.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Listen, guys, politics, especially at the level that they're at,
is a lot of give and take. It's a lot
of wheeling and dealing. And if you promise this, I'll
do this. You know, I'll vote for this bridge for
your state. If you vote for this, you know, to
(11:25):
help me get rid of this food on my city council.
Like it's deal making, Like that's what it is. It
is what it is. The merits of the thing is
never that's all for show. Let's just be real. You
know what I'm saying. If you are idealist, that gets
beat out of you quick. It's you make it deals.
I mean, that's what you're doing. You make it deals. Right,
(11:48):
So one could lie to themselves and say that Kevidge
is making deals.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Player. That was pimping.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And why I say that was pimping was very simple.
He couldn't get the job unless this small handful of
people they figured it out.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Again.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
They know what you want so bad that they could
be like, what's in it for me? What will you
do for this? And the second he agreed to the
fifteenth after the fifteenth vote, and the second he agreed
to all the concessions they said, they said, we need
to be able to vote you out with one person.
(12:29):
And then this nigga had the nerve to blame Nancy
Pelosi for it, to say that Nancy told him to
say yes to it, because she's like, I got.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Your back, nigga, she retired, Are you serious.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Listen, I don't care what you have accomplished As a
speaker of all, I don't care what you've accomplished. And
for his side of the other ale, he accomplished a
decent amount of things. It don't matter the second he
said yes to that rule to his whole party.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
He's a bitch.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
And I don't mean understand what I'm telling y'all. I
don't mean female. Y'all know I don't talk like this.
I don't mean female. You're a bitch because you're a
trained dog, and I dare you to step out of line. Now, look,
I'm clearly being an extra, you know, with all these
I I'll be an extra and I know I am,
(13:23):
so please understand that. Like I'm being an extra to
prove a point. The point is he was too thirsty.
And there's this interesting thing around, like this sort of
interplay of like masculinity in different versions of masculinity, and like,
you know, the grind culture is like you do anything
(13:44):
to get to the top. But at the same time,
it's like, well, don't be a bitch. You know, it's like, well,
which one is it? Do I do anything until I
get to that line? But I thought you said, DoD
do anything. Like it's this weird message that just boys
never really figure out.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
You know. I still have this.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Like inner cool guy bully that's in the back of
my brain always saying all right, not proud, don't be
no punk now. And then the other side that's like, hey, nigga,
go get yours. You feel me like, hey, man, hustle,
like what you're doing taking a nap. I got sick
last week and I wasn't so I was just mad.
(14:31):
I was annoyed that I couldn't work, Yo said. It's
a weird brain thing we go through. It's like be
hungry but not thirsty. And you kind of got to
know the difference. I feel like you kind of. Do
you think he really wanted to bring articles of impeachment?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
And he can stand on the screen and say he
proud of being bipartisan. He was doing what was right
for the country. Listen, you're a bitch. I don't think so.
I never met the man. The man's mat fact, he
probably got amazing credentials. I mean from Begger's Vie, you know,
ran businesses up there. But when he signed that contract,
when he made that deal in the eyes of the
(15:07):
people that got you that position.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Again, can't stress this enough. These are pimping rules.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
These are not rules that prop lives by, but there
are rules we've learned to understand you have to be
able to stand up, you have to be able to
walk away, to be able to say I got a code.
That's one thing I learned indirectly from Nipsey Hustle. One
of my friends, DJ Moski knew him on a level,
(15:35):
a personal level level I didn't, right, And when they
were talking about getting work together and stuff like that,
like Nipsey said to him, Oh, the problem is you
don't have no code. He's like, I have a code.
There are certain things that just that's against my code.
I will not There's certain lines I won't cross, even
if it's like for a greater good, for the ends
(15:57):
just but he's like, no, I have a code. There
are no ends that justify the means. We have a code.
And if you ain't got no code, you could be
played the way that this man is played. Okay, now
let's get serious as to like what exactly happened and
(16:18):
where we're going from here. All right, So remember last
(16:46):
year this was a pretty circusy looking kind of situation
when Nancy Pelosi decided she was done. Okay, it was
time to elect a new Speaker of the House. Now again,
remember we're talking about the House of representatives, which is
different than the Senate Minority or Senate Majority leader. Right,
that's still Mitch McConnell Lord Vader, and we don't know
(17:10):
is he a sith Lord or is he Lord Vader?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I don't know either way? Man, that man that it
cracks me up.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Boy, Yeah, it's also something to be said about, like, bro,
like it's maybe I just have never had that kind
of power, but like, I just don't understand.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I just feel like there has to be a threshold
to where you're.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Like, I'm good, Like I can retire, you know what
I'm saying, Like I just can't imagine, you know, rest
in peace. Ms Feinstein. I can't imagine working all the
way to ninety five. Bro, I can't imagine working. Don't
like you don't want to retire, Like you don't want
to just I just don't.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
You don't want to just be.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
A Paul Paul Like it's not I mean, even if
it's like acuity is different than age, like which we'll
get into at some point. I'm on a tangent, but
this is super important for the point I'm trying to
make here. These people like work till they die, and
I mean I guess if you can, if it keeps
(18:19):
you your vitality. I know a lot of times, you know,
when people retire, they like they deteriorate fast, you know,
because you don't have you're not as active as you
used to be.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
But like I feel like, but if you retire and
you got the type of brand that these people have,
why you not in Moldova? Why you not backing up
your grandkids? You feel me and being like, yo, let's go,
let's go see, let's go to Tibet, Like let's go
to Joshua Treat this weekend, Like I would be just
on a river boat, like just gone chilling wood woodland
(18:55):
in a forest somewhere, just you don't have to work anymore.
I just don't understand why y'all still want to work.
Maybe it's because, like I said, I haven't attained that
type of power. I don't understand what Trump want, Like
I mean, I understand what he wants. He want to
win like that that's just the point for him is winning.
But I just feel like, I, you know, it's like
(19:17):
the old adage like how much is too much? I
feel like there's definitely a number where you'll I'll be gone.
But you mean to tell me I don't have to
generate any more income. Like, I feel like there's a
number and if I get there, I'm like bye.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
There's this clip of Vince Staples when it was one
of his earlier tours that he said, you know, he's
been hearing a lot of people saying that, you know,
they didn't like the way he was performing, that it
was annoying that he just kind of stood there. They
didn't like the show. He said, Okay, well, I'm running
to GoFundMe. This is the shuck the fuck up fund me.
(19:58):
He was like, if you give me ten million dollars,
I'll never do another concert again.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I'll shut the fuck up. And he's like, if not,
then you shut the fuck up. Let me do what
I gotta do. I get it.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
You don't care, I'll cash out, yo, say it, totally
get it. I think that there's a certain amount of
like fame and notoriety. Now again, it's probably because I
haven't gotten there, but I feel like there's a fame
and notoriety amount that I just wouldn't answer no detractors
how plugged in you are to our culture. But Drake
(20:38):
has a way of being very petty when it comes
to responding to bloggers other artists. He throws these like
side dishes, dishes, these these like sneak dishes to people
that from my perspective, it feels like he's punching down
(20:58):
because I'm like, let's not, that's not lie. Like you're
one of the you're in the top ten artists in
the world. I just don't understand why you took a
whole half hour and full page comment to diss Joe
Budden just to talk about how he's a failed artist
and you didn't pivot.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
This was your only option going into like podcasting. Why
do that?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And why you've been ducking and dodging Kendrick the whole time?
It's because you know you don't want to spoke with Kendrick.
I just feel like there's got to be a level
of fame that you get to to where isn't that
beneath you?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Like why did you take a shots that Joe Butden's
(22:15):
I thought there's a level you get to that you
just you ain't worried about none of that.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And apparently that's because again I've never gotten to the
level because when speaker McCarthy had a chance to become
the speaker. I feel like after five votes, I would
be like, I mean, my pride will kick in.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Let me be real, like, my pride will kick in.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But the stuff that they was asking him to do,
and I remember the former speaker, Paul Ryan, a Republican speaker,
was like, listen, whatever you do, do not give up
this thing. And that's the power for one person to
vote you out right. But Nancy Pelosi told him, look, dude,
if you give it up, we got you. And the
(23:02):
thing about Nancy Pelosi, say what you will about her,
is she was one of one of one of our
most effective speakers of the House. She got the shit done.
Nancy was able to get you. You say whatever you
want about that old lady. She was able to get
people in the room, figure out, figure out the way forward,
and get it done. And you hear Republicans talk about
(23:25):
that talk about her like that too.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
She the most effective.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
She's one of the most effective speakers that they've ever seen.
She get it done. And that's that's the type of
role you have to get in the room. You have
to get it done. You have to have such a
commanding presence such an ability to there's a gift of gab,
(23:49):
there's a gift of negotiation, there's a gift of making
the US person feel like they got it. That's half
the battle. I need the person I'm sitting across the
table from. While they must feel empowered, they also got
to feel like they talking to somebody that like if
push come to shove, like I'm not the one, like
(24:12):
you don't want to smoke with me, like I'll like
I you know, I'm here being kind and I'm laying
my power down because i want to see you win.
I want to see us win. But don't get it twisted.
I'll run this here like you got to kind of
carry that. But with with With Speaker McCarthy's situation, it
(24:32):
was over before it started. They they bullied him from
the back from being like, listen, nigga, this this is
what you're gonna do. You're gonna get up there and
you're gonna do what we want. If you want this
so bad, you want this so bad, then this the
(24:53):
only way we're voting for you. And I'm assuming in
his head he thought, I just give you this right now,
like I'm not gonna worry about it. Right now, because
I know I'm not a punk. I'm just this is
the ends justify as a mean situation. And they said, okay,
they probably called in his head, he probably calling a
(25:15):
bluff like you, I mean you would in torpedo.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Your own party for this, would you? Are you?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I mean it's almost like you must have you must
be tuning into this this season.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You must have not been watching the past seasons for
you to.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Not know that that like my nigga, my nigga care,
there is no party. You don't have a party like
your version you are os one my nigga, like your
version of Republican don't exist. I just I don't understand
what you don't understand. So then they put him on
(25:54):
and I mean he.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Did a few things.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Well again, they let him do a few things because
when the push came to shove, they was like, look,
this is what we need, and some of the things
were reasonable. Was like, you need to put an actual
number or price tag on the stuff that we're voting for.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
You can't just say y'all got.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It, Like I need to know what the actual number is.
That's some of the stuff they were saying out front
when it was talking about like approving this budget. But
the crazy thing about this budget was it was approved
last year, Like this is this a formality?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Like the.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Legislative branch is a trip anyway, So as time went on,
you could almost see them moving puppeteering from the back.
They was like, all right, look, we need these biting charges.
And I could imagine speaking McCarthy being like, I mean,
(26:54):
I don't like the man either, but I just don't
know if we.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Got a case.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Was like, you're gonna get out there and you're gonna say,
we will make the case. You do what we told
you want you want to lose your job. Yeah, yeah,
I don't want to lose my job. Right, And old
Matt Gates with his uh facing his uh statutory rape
charges you know what I'm saying, got the heat up
off him and was like, all right, that's my shot.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
What's really interesting is you don't see Margie Taylor, Green
or Bobert. They not voting it. They didn't vote against McCarthy.
They not one of the eight, which tell me that
like this ain't necessarily necessarily a Trump move, It's a
Matt Gates move. Like again, once you taste that power,
(27:45):
cuz I feel like Matt ain't reached that threshold yet,
either the threshold I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Oh, he ain't crossed over, like he's still hungry. Right.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Matt got up there and was like a fool, you
a sellout. You you do what we tell you to do,
or I'm gonna vote you out, and McCarthy was like,
the fuck you will. Matt was like, oh, oh you
playing with me? All right, watch this. I vote to
(28:17):
remove the nigga, and remember you the one that chose
that I could do that, voted to remove him. He
was like, oh my god, he actually did it. It
was like Ricky Bobby and Jean Gerard when he said listen,
I'm gonna be forced to break your arm unless you
say crapes. He was like, I ain't gonna say crapes
and then he broke it. He was like, you actually
did it. Anyway, He actually did it. Voted the man out.
(28:42):
First time ever I saw a TikTok that was saying listen.
Band aids weren't even invented when the Speaker of the
House was created. When this rule was greatd like band
aids weren't even invented, Like that's how long.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
This is never happened.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And the only person who's had a shorter tenor in
the Speaker of the House was because he died of cancer.
That's the only person who's had a shorter man died
of cancer. That's why he was going, that's not funny, y'all,
y'all double check me, well tell you that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Now. Lastly, here's the thought.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That any bully who sets himself up in a power
dynamic such as match Gates did with Speaker McCart former
Speaker McCarthy, you got to really calculate this because if
you have a grenade, you can only throw it once,
(29:58):
So you better for damn sure.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Know when.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
And be absolutely positive that that's that you're ready to
pull this pin, because once it's pulled, that's it. Do
you guys understand what I'm saying. He could only get
the guy fired once. Now it's like, Okay, you got
your little you got your little your little X speed,
(30:27):
you got your little clips on you know the the
nightly news, You got your little you got it. You
did it. Now what you're gonna do the problem is
because it's not real power. Let me go back to
the pimping thing. If I don't care about what you
have to offer, you feel me like if if I
(30:48):
could get out of town, if I then it don't
let's let's make it more like a record deal thing.
If I. And here's what's interesting about record deals right now?
What they what what majors are doing is they're looking
for who already buzzing on TikTok, who already got a
million views, a million followers on they you know, one
hundred thousand, five hundred thousand followers on the YouTube, and
(31:10):
they're like, oh, we'll give you a record deal. Like
at that point you should be like, well, what can
you offer me that I don't already? Have you pushing
five hundred and six hundred thousand subscribers on your YouTube?
You taking in a couple grand a month on ads alone?
You you're you already you you killing it on TikTok
(31:31):
with a million? What do you need the what do
you need that they're.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Not offering you infrastructure?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I mean you could build your own you hire a manager,
hire a project manager, like you don't at that point,
you don't need them. So once I understand that you
actually don't have power over me, because I don't need
what you're offering.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
It's over like it's it's done.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
And if you're threatening me with some sort of violence,
remember I told you about my uncle, my uncle Sonny,
when he used to say stuff like you think I'm
scared of the police.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
The threat's done when you if you threaten.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
To call the police, you threatening you, like when you
get brothers that be like, I've been to jail.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I'm not afraid to go to jail. I've been to jail.
I'm not afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
The threat is done because you don't have anything I'm
scared of.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You don't have anything I need.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
If you if you're not afraid to crash, then you
can fly. If you're not afraid to lose it all,
you're like you, you.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Can't be afraid to lose it all, So matten them.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
These people function on the reality that everybody in that
room was afraid to lose what they got. But once
you pull the trigger and you lose it, that's it.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
What happens, what happens to Kevin McCarthy goes back to
being in the House of Representatives, He goes back to
being a common Still, he's still a congressman.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
You feel me.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
It's a congressman without the stress. I mean, he did it,
check it off. What's you gonna do to me?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Now? Right now? You got niggas like Jim Jordan trying
to run. Who is a wild boy? That's a wild boy.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
They was floating around the idea of Trump running, which
is so funny. You ever had to see a law
a rule that you didn't think you ever have to
say out loud because the situation never called itself because
it seems so self evident, you know, like, hey, don't
lick the wall like you know, o little stuff like that.
(34:02):
I don't think any of us ever thought about the
fact that do you have to be in Congress? Do
you have to be actually a member of Congress to
be able to be the Speaker of the House? Like,
don't you got to actually be a member? Don't you
got don't you actually have to be in the House
of Representatives before you can be the Speaker of the House.
(34:26):
They talking about Trump running for the position, Like I
don't think anybody ever thought of that. Don't you got
to be a member of Congress be able to be
in charge of Congress? I mean, it's not written. Noway,
if you say, ain't no rule that says it, well, yeah,
I guess you're right. Ain't no rule that says you
can't bend over eat your dog's doodoo.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
I guess ain't no rule. But I just I didn't
think i'd have to make that rule.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
And man jump. Then it said where are the fences?
And watch me push at him? And boy is he pushing.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Listen, let me give y'all some game. Please learn from
Kevin McCarthy. Don't ever be that thirsty, Okay, because when
you that thirsty, bruh, you knew what it was. Ain't
nowhere in the world. You ain't know what it was.
You was just thirsty. Listen, hood politicians.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Hey, I've never called y'all that. Hum, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I don't know if I can deem y'all that, because
I don't know how many y'all actually from the block. Anyway, Listen, guys,
don't ever be that thirsty, because.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
That's how you get played a hood politics, y'all.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Y'all, y'all, This thing right here was recorded by me
Propaganda and East Lows, boil Heights, Los Angeles, California.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
This thing was mixed, edited.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Mastered, and scored by the one and only Matt Awsowski.
Y'all check out this fool's music. I mean it's incredible.
Executive produced by Sophie Lichterman for Cool Zone Media. Man,
and thank you for everybody who continue to tap in
with us. Make sure you leaving reviews and five star
ratings and sharing it with the homies so we could
(36:34):
get this thing pushed up in the algorithm and listen.
I just want to remind you these people is not
smarter than you. If you understand city living, you understand politics,
We'll see you next week.
Media. So look, here's the thing about pimping, hood politics, y'all.
(00:31):
Oh man, I'm okay, I'm sorry, this is too funny
to me. But and this is not a tape recorder
condoning the act of pimping. If you can't tell, I'm
a little sick fighting a little nasal thing. I hope
I don't sound too bad, but I just had to
record this while I was still.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
But the thing about pimping is it's not funny, it's
really that's because it's so absurd.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
The start a thing like this.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
That's what I'm actually laughing at and unbeknownst to me
being just cartoonishly naive.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I know pimps. Just I have some friends that are pimps.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
You know. I also have friends that work in rescuing
women people being trafficked in the sex industry. Like I
just listen, I'm from the hood. It's complicated now. But
the thing about pimping is, if we're talking specifically sex,
sex isn't all that you're selling. You're selling an experience.
(01:40):
You're selling belonging, you're selling companionship, you're selling self worth,
you're selling power. That's what I'm really selling. I'm selling
these John's power for them to finally feel like they
could get abroad like this. Now, obviously it's not only that,
(02:03):
but your product is much more than I just want
a vagiant to put my penis in. Like, It's not
just that, although maybe sometimes it is. The point is
product isn't only about the sex, and any pimp would know,
and any pimp would tell you that if you understand
(02:25):
the game, the iceberg slim. If you understand the game,
the rules that make you a good pimp can be
applied across.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Many different career choices.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Because you just have to know what you're actually selling
right to the john and then also to get the
person to become your lett hue. Now I say all
this to say, listen, listen. Anybody can fall for it
because the product isn't all always just prostitution, pimping coming
(03:02):
at all different sizes and shapes.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You understand what I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Saying, so so so, and we know pimps can come
in different styles. They come sometimes they real brazen and
open slap a girl across the face and you're like,
you know what it is. It's pimping, bitch, you know,
let's talking more walking. You know what I'm saying, like,
gone out there and strut. You know what I'm saying,
Go make my money, you know what I mean? And
other times it's like, well, how you get to that is?
(03:24):
You gotta be a little more smooth. You gotta have
a little more game to you, yo jib. You know
what I'm saying, Why be flying? Like all the rap
references you hear in these songs about like do you
want to ride in the backseat of a caddy? You
know what I'm saying, Like, girl, I'll fly you across
the world. You know what I'm saying, Like you know
you take a little girl you know who you know,
got the little broken home.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
They call them early, right, so little little young girl,
you feel me? Sixteen seventeen, she early. You know, she's
still she's still in the oven. You know, I understand
how terrible this is. But I'm trying to make a point.
You know, you just you get you start prepping her,
you start showing yourself. Look, man, so when you for
her lunch money, it's not twenty that's one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I'm saying. She ain't never carry no hundred outs. Look,
you want to ride.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You know what I'm saying. You're riding in this nice
g wagon. You feel me, girl, you know what I'm saying.
Like I fly you, I fly you to turks of
k Co's. Baby, listen, so you start showing them a
life that they never have, and you say, look, all
this and more can be yours. That's all I need
from you. When I call, you answer the phone. When
I text, you reply to my text. If I ask
(04:22):
you to go somewhere, don't ask no questions, Baby, go
get it. Daddy gonna always take care of you. Daddy
gonna always protect But I know what you want. I
can help you get it. And listen for anybody, anybody,
I don't care what the field is. Anybody, if anybody's
sitting some contract in front of you, when they whole
game is the fact that they are the only people.
(04:45):
They the provider and protector. They are both sustenance you
under see I'm saying, and provision they are both, and
they saying you can't get this nowhere else. Baby, Nobody
gonna love you better. I don't care what that contract is. Listen,
if you looking at that contract, you looking at that job.
If you're looking at that position and you think I
can't walk away from this, if they trying to convince
you they are the only way you could get what
(05:07):
you won't, that's pimping. That's like I'm giving you game, man,
they because they run a game on you. Man. You
know how many times I've had to look at record contracts,
and you know a lot of times the majors come
in there and say, oh, we'll make you a star.
You know why, because they know I want to be
a star. But if I can't walk away from this
and go back to them open mics.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You're all.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Man, If you like I'm never going back, you might
sign away some shit that you ain't know you were
supposed to sign. You Look at that job, you looking
at that position, that company telling you you can't ever
get this place. Look, if you can't slide that contract
across the table and walk away, be careful. You might
about to get pimped. Because all that shit come with
(05:49):
a cost. They tell you they provide you everything you won't.
But if you want it too bad, if you want
it so bad, so bad, that's.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
What we call being thirsty.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You just so thirsty, you might about to get pimped,
and it happens. That how you get into bad contracts.
That's how you get into stupid record deals. That's how
you get into like because you you just had to
have a thing. You can't walk away. I love doing
hood politics, love it well. I continue to talk about
politics and try to like empower young black and brown people,
(06:24):
inner city folk h to be politically and socially aware
and to move into But of course I keep doing it.
But if iHeart decides whatever they decide, like if I
can't walk away from this, then I got some salt
searching to do.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Y'all need to y'all need to keep y'all head about you.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And had he had listened to hood politics. We tried
to tell Kevin McCarthy, boy, We tried to tell you, niggie,
(07:09):
you knew what it was, You knew what you signed
up for. Ain't no way you ain't know what you
signed up for. Listen, let me give you an example,
another example. I'm not giving examples now, Like listen, look
if we outside were out in the hub, we at
the grocery store, you anywhere you outside, you had a party,
you and walking by whatever, and you hear stuff like like,
(07:31):
remember I told you one time when I was like
one of the greatest things in the world is to
know when it's time to slide right, when it's like,
oh yeah, it's time to go. Like look you in
the grocery store. You got your whole cart and full,
and then you hear, hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Hey blood Wait hold up? Who no blood?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Who no blood?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Look, it's time to go. Put the cart. Every instinct
in you should be liked. You leave that cart wherever
it was, You leave everything in that thing. You get
out of that place immediately. Hey, what you're trying to
do at homes Listen you hear that in the background. Hey,
like we could go right now. What you're trying to do? Listen,
leave immediately. You got friends with you, They heard the
(08:07):
same thing you heard. They gonna get out the store.
All of your instincts should tell you it's time to go.
Unless you've been put on the hood own nigga, you
knew what it was.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
So when they when so? When they eight blood? Who
know blood? You're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Stack You're supposed to step out of stand on your square. Hey, cousins,
blase bla woop to woop that's what you signed up for.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Now, I know all of your instincts, every instinct in you.
It's like, it's time to leave. Like, nah, nigga, this
is what you signed up for. Listen, this is what
comes with it, y'all. You wanted to be able to
kick it with or you just wanted to have your
little blue bandana, huh, Or you just wanted to be
able to go to.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
The kickback you feel me, Oh, that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You just wanted to You just wanted to look like
a gangst No, nigga, people have died for these flags,
lost multiple family members, friends.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
When you in that life, you start losing people very early,
like actual friends. You start like because you gotta remember
like you signed up, you start bangling you like in
middle school. They're like, you know, you eleven, twelve years old.
By the time you fifteen, nigga, half of your friends
have died. You know what I'm saying, Like, so you
take this shit very serious. There's no running. Hey, hey,
(09:30):
cut what set you claim?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Nigga? You better rep listen, you better find the heart.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I know everything in you saying it's time to go,
But listen, you finna get DP worse than you ever
could imagine.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
You run out of that place.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Oh, nigga, your own set finna whoop your ass because
you know what you signed up for, cav mister McCarthy, Sir, sir,
you knew what you signed up for.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So for the first time.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
In the history of America, y'all understand, this rule was
written in the seventeen hundreds.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Niggie, Niggy, they voted out a speaker.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And he got the nerve, get on the camera and
be like, Oh, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna run
for the position.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Nigga.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You never, God damn it. You never should have ran
in the first place. Oh lord, Okay, let's take a break.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Ira back now.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Listen, guys, politics, especially at the level that they're at,
is a lot of give and take. It's a lot
of wheeling and dealing. And if you promise this, I'll
do this. You know, I'll vote for this bridge for
your state. If you vote for this, you know, to
(11:25):
help me get rid of this food on my city council.
Like it's deal making, Like that's what it is. It
is what it is. The merits of the thing is
never that's all for show. Let's just be real. You
know what I'm saying. If you are idealist, that gets
beat out of you quick. It's you make it deals.
I mean, that's what you're doing. You make it deals. Right,
(11:48):
So one could lie to themselves and say that Kevidge
is making deals.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Player. That was pimping.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And why I say that was pimping was very simple.
He couldn't get the job unless this small handful of
people they figured it out.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Again.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
They know what you want so bad that they could
be like, what's in it for me? What will you
do for this? And the second he agreed to the
fifteenth after the fifteenth vote, and the second he agreed
to all the concessions they said, they said, we need
to be able to vote you out with one person.
(12:29):
And then this nigga had the nerve to blame Nancy
Pelosi for it, to say that Nancy told him to
say yes to it, because she's like, I got.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Your back, nigga, she retired, Are you serious.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Listen, I don't care what you have accomplished As a
speaker of all, I don't care what you've accomplished. And
for his side of the other ale, he accomplished a
decent amount of things. It don't matter the second he
said yes to that rule to his whole party.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
He's a bitch.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
And I don't mean understand what I'm telling y'all. I
don't mean female. Y'all know I don't talk like this.
I don't mean female. You're a bitch because you're a
trained dog, and I dare you to step out of line. Now, look,
I'm clearly being an extra, you know, with all these
I I'll be an extra and I know I am,
(13:23):
so please understand that. Like I'm being an extra to
prove a point. The point is he was too thirsty.
And there's this interesting thing around, like this sort of
interplay of like masculinity in different versions of masculinity, and like,
you know, the grind culture is like you do anything
(13:44):
to get to the top. But at the same time,
it's like, well, don't be a bitch. You know, it's like, well,
which one is it? Do I do anything until I
get to that line? But I thought you said, DoD
do anything. Like it's this weird message that just boys
never really figure out.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
You know. I still have this.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Like inner cool guy bully that's in the back of
my brain always saying all right, not proud, don't be
no punk now. And then the other side that's like, hey, nigga,
go get yours. You feel me like, hey, man, hustle,
like what you're doing taking a nap. I got sick
last week and I wasn't so I was just mad.
(14:31):
I was annoyed that I couldn't work, Yo said. It's
a weird brain thing we go through. It's like be
hungry but not thirsty. And you kind of got to
know the difference. I feel like you kind of. Do
you think he really wanted to bring articles of impeachment?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
And he can stand on the screen and say he
proud of being bipartisan. He was doing what was right
for the country. Listen, you're a bitch. I don't think so.
I never met the man. The man's mat fact, he
probably got amazing credentials. I mean from Begger's Vie, you know,
ran businesses up there. But when he signed that contract,
when he made that deal in the eyes of the
(15:07):
people that got you that position.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Again, can't stress this enough. These are pimping rules.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
These are not rules that prop lives by, but there
are rules we've learned to understand you have to be
able to stand up, you have to be able to
walk away, to be able to say I got a code.
That's one thing I learned indirectly from Nipsey Hustle. One
of my friends, DJ Moski knew him on a level,
(15:35):
a personal level level I didn't, right, And when they
were talking about getting work together and stuff like that,
like Nipsey said to him, Oh, the problem is you
don't have no code. He's like, I have a code.
There are certain things that just that's against my code.
I will not There's certain lines I won't cross, even
if it's like for a greater good, for the ends
(15:57):
just but he's like, no, I have a code. There
are no ends that justify the means. We have a code.
And if you ain't got no code, you could be
played the way that this man is played. Okay, now
let's get serious as to like what exactly happened and
(16:18):
where we're going from here. All right, So remember last
(16:46):
year this was a pretty circusy looking kind of situation
when Nancy Pelosi decided she was done. Okay, it was
time to elect a new Speaker of the House. Now again,
remember we're talking about the House of representatives, which is
different than the Senate Minority or Senate Majority leader. Right,
that's still Mitch McConnell Lord Vader, and we don't know
(17:10):
is he a sith Lord or is he Lord Vader?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I don't know either way? Man, that man that it
cracks me up.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Boy, Yeah, it's also something to be said about, like, bro,
like it's maybe I just have never had that kind
of power, but like, I just don't understand.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I just feel like there has to be a threshold
to where you're.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Like, I'm good, Like I can retire, you know what
I'm saying, Like I just can't imagine, you know, rest
in peace. Ms Feinstein. I can't imagine working all the
way to ninety five. Bro, I can't imagine working. Don't
like you don't want to retire, Like you don't want
to just I just don't.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
You don't want to just be.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
A Paul Paul Like it's not I mean, even if
it's like acuity is different than age, like which we'll
get into at some point. I'm on a tangent, but
this is super important for the point I'm trying to
make here. These people like work till they die, and
I mean I guess if you can, if it keeps
(18:19):
you your vitality. I know a lot of times, you know,
when people retire, they like they deteriorate fast, you know,
because you don't have you're not as active as you
used to be.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
But like I feel like, but if you retire and
you got the type of brand that these people have,
why you not in Moldova? Why you not backing up
your grandkids? You feel me and being like, yo, let's go,
let's go see, let's go to Tibet, Like let's go
to Joshua Treat this weekend, Like I would be just
on a river boat, like just gone chilling wood woodland
(18:55):
in a forest somewhere, just you don't have to work anymore.
I just don't understand why y'all still want to work.
Maybe it's because, like I said, I haven't attained that
type of power. I don't understand what Trump want, Like
I mean, I understand what he wants. He want to
win like that that's just the point for him is winning.
But I just feel like, I, you know, it's like
(19:17):
the old adage like how much is too much? I
feel like there's definitely a number where you'll I'll be gone.
But you mean to tell me I don't have to
generate any more income. Like, I feel like there's a
number and if I get there, I'm like bye.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
There's this clip of Vince Staples when it was one
of his earlier tours that he said, you know, he's
been hearing a lot of people saying that, you know,
they didn't like the way he was performing, that it
was annoying that he just kind of stood there. They
didn't like the show. He said, Okay, well, I'm running
to GoFundMe. This is the shuck the fuck up fund me.
(19:58):
He was like, if you give me ten million dollars,
I'll never do another concert again.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I'll shut the fuck up. And he's like, if not,
then you shut the fuck up. Let me do what
I gotta do. I get it.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
You don't care, I'll cash out, yo, say it, totally
get it. I think that there's a certain amount of
like fame and notoriety. Now again, it's probably because I
haven't gotten there, but I feel like there's a fame
and notoriety amount that I just wouldn't answer no detractors
how plugged in you are to our culture. But Drake
(20:38):
has a way of being very petty when it comes
to responding to bloggers other artists. He throws these like
side dishes, dishes, these these like sneak dishes to people
that from my perspective, it feels like he's punching down
(20:58):
because I'm like, let's not, that's not lie. Like you're
one of the you're in the top ten artists in
the world. I just don't understand why you took a
whole half hour and full page comment to diss Joe
Budden just to talk about how he's a failed artist
and you didn't pivot.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
This was your only option going into like podcasting. Why
do that?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And why you've been ducking and dodging Kendrick the whole time?
It's because you know you don't want to spoke with Kendrick.
I just feel like there's got to be a level
of fame that you get to to where isn't that
beneath you?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Like why did you take a shots that Joe Butden's
(22:15):
I thought there's a level you get to that you
just you ain't worried about none of that.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And apparently that's because again I've never gotten to the
level because when speaker McCarthy had a chance to become
the speaker. I feel like after five votes, I would
be like, I mean, my pride will kick in.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Let me be real, like, my pride will kick in.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But the stuff that they was asking him to do,
and I remember the former speaker, Paul Ryan, a Republican speaker,
was like, listen, whatever you do, do not give up
this thing. And that's the power for one person to
vote you out right. But Nancy Pelosi told him, look, dude,
if you give it up, we got you. And the
(23:02):
thing about Nancy Pelosi, say what you will about her,
is she was one of one of one of our
most effective speakers of the House. She got the shit done.
Nancy was able to get you. You say whatever you
want about that old lady. She was able to get
people in the room, figure out, figure out the way forward,
and get it done. And you hear Republicans talk about
(23:25):
that talk about her like that too.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
She the most effective.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
She's one of the most effective speakers that they've ever seen.
She get it done. And that's that's the type of
role you have to get in the room. You have
to get it done. You have to have such a
commanding presence such an ability to there's a gift of gab,
(23:49):
there's a gift of negotiation, there's a gift of making
the US person feel like they got it. That's half
the battle. I need the person I'm sitting across the
table from. While they must feel empowered, they also got
to feel like they talking to somebody that like if
push come to shove, like I'm not the one, like
(24:12):
you don't want to smoke with me, like I'll like
I you know, I'm here being kind and I'm laying
my power down because i want to see you win.
I want to see us win. But don't get it twisted.
I'll run this here like you got to kind of
carry that. But with with With Speaker McCarthy's situation, it
(24:32):
was over before it started. They they bullied him from
the back from being like, listen, nigga, this this is
what you're gonna do. You're gonna get up there and
you're gonna do what we want. If you want this
so bad, you want this so bad, then this the
(24:53):
only way we're voting for you. And I'm assuming in
his head he thought, I just give you this right now,
like I'm not gonna worry about it. Right now, because
I know I'm not a punk. I'm just this is
the ends justify as a mean situation. And they said, okay,
they probably called in his head, he probably calling a
(25:15):
bluff like you, I mean you would in torpedo.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Your own party for this, would you? Are you?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I mean it's almost like you must have you must
be tuning into this this season.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You must have not been watching the past seasons for
you to.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Not know that that like my nigga, my nigga care,
there is no party. You don't have a party like
your version you are os one my nigga, like your
version of Republican don't exist. I just I don't understand
what you don't understand. So then they put him on
(25:54):
and I mean he.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Did a few things.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Well again, they let him do a few things because
when the push came to shove, they was like, look,
this is what we need, and some of the things
were reasonable. Was like, you need to put an actual
number or price tag on the stuff that we're voting for.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
You can't just say y'all got.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It, Like I need to know what the actual number is.
That's some of the stuff they were saying out front
when it was talking about like approving this budget. But
the crazy thing about this budget was it was approved
last year, Like this is this a formality?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Like the.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Legislative branch is a trip anyway, So as time went on,
you could almost see them moving puppeteering from the back.
They was like, all right, look, we need these biting charges.
And I could imagine speaking McCarthy being like, I mean,
(26:54):
I don't like the man either, but I just don't
know if we.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Got a case.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Was like, you're gonna get out there and you're gonna say,
we will make the case. You do what we told
you want you want to lose your job. Yeah, yeah,
I don't want to lose my job. Right, And old
Matt Gates with his uh facing his uh statutory rape
charges you know what I'm saying, got the heat up
off him and was like, all right, that's my shot.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
What's really interesting is you don't see Margie Taylor, Green
or Bobert. They not voting it. They didn't vote against McCarthy.
They not one of the eight, which tell me that
like this ain't necessarily necessarily a Trump move, It's a
Matt Gates move. Like again, once you taste that power,
(27:45):
cuz I feel like Matt ain't reached that threshold yet,
either the threshold I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Oh, he ain't crossed over, like he's still hungry. Right.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Matt got up there and was like a fool, you
a sellout. You you do what we tell you to do,
or I'm gonna vote you out, and McCarthy was like,
the fuck you will. Matt was like, oh, oh you
playing with me? All right, watch this. I vote to
(28:17):
remove the nigga, and remember you the one that chose
that I could do that, voted to remove him. He
was like, oh my god, he actually did it. It
was like Ricky Bobby and Jean Gerard when he said listen,
I'm gonna be forced to break your arm unless you
say crapes. He was like, I ain't gonna say crapes
and then he broke it. He was like, you actually
did it. Anyway, He actually did it. Voted the man out.
(28:42):
First time ever I saw a TikTok that was saying listen.
Band aids weren't even invented when the Speaker of the
House was created. When this rule was greatd like band
aids weren't even invented, Like that's how long.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
This is never happened.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And the only person who's had a shorter tenor in
the Speaker of the House was because he died of cancer.
That's the only person who's had a shorter man died
of cancer. That's why he was going, that's not funny, y'all,
y'all double check me, well tell you that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Now. Lastly, here's the thought.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That any bully who sets himself up in a power
dynamic such as match Gates did with Speaker McCart former
Speaker McCarthy, you got to really calculate this because if
you have a grenade, you can only throw it once,
(29:58):
So you better for damn sure.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Know when.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
And be absolutely positive that that's that you're ready to
pull this pin, because once it's pulled, that's it. Do
you guys understand what I'm saying. He could only get
the guy fired once. Now it's like, Okay, you got
your little you got your little your little X speed,
(30:27):
you got your little clips on you know the the
nightly news, You got your little you got it. You
did it. Now what you're gonna do the problem is
because it's not real power. Let me go back to
the pimping thing. If I don't care about what you
have to offer, you feel me like if if I
(30:48):
could get out of town, if I then it don't
let's let's make it more like a record deal thing.
If I. And here's what's interesting about record deals right now?
What they what what majors are doing is they're looking
for who already buzzing on TikTok, who already got a
million views, a million followers on they you know, one
hundred thousand, five hundred thousand followers on the YouTube, and
(31:10):
they're like, oh, we'll give you a record deal. Like
at that point you should be like, well, what can
you offer me that I don't already? Have you pushing
five hundred and six hundred thousand subscribers on your YouTube?
You taking in a couple grand a month on ads alone?
You you're you already you you killing it on TikTok
(31:31):
with a million? What do you need the what do
you need that they're.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Not offering you infrastructure?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I mean you could build your own you hire a manager,
hire a project manager, like you don't at that point,
you don't need them. So once I understand that you
actually don't have power over me, because I don't need
what you're offering.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
It's over like it's it's done.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
And if you're threatening me with some sort of violence,
remember I told you about my uncle, my uncle Sonny,
when he used to say stuff like you think I'm
scared of the police.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
The threat's done when you if you threaten.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
To call the police, you threatening you, like when you
get brothers that be like, I've been to jail.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I'm not afraid to go to jail. I've been to jail.
I'm not afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
The threat is done because you don't have anything I'm
scared of.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You don't have anything I need.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
If you if you're not afraid to crash, then you
can fly. If you're not afraid to lose it all,
you're like you, you.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Can't be afraid to lose it all, So matten them.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
These people function on the reality that everybody in that
room was afraid to lose what they got. But once
you pull the trigger and you lose it, that's it.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
What happens, what happens to Kevin McCarthy goes back to
being in the House of Representatives, He goes back to
being a common Still, he's still a congressman.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
You feel me.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
It's a congressman without the stress. I mean, he did it,
check it off. What's you gonna do to me?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Now? Right now? You got niggas like Jim Jordan trying
to run. Who is a wild boy? That's a wild boy.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
They was floating around the idea of Trump running, which
is so funny. You ever had to see a law
a rule that you didn't think you ever have to
say out loud because the situation never called itself because
it seems so self evident, you know, like, hey, don't
lick the wall like you know, o little stuff like that.
(34:02):
I don't think any of us ever thought about the
fact that do you have to be in Congress? Do
you have to be actually a member of Congress to
be able to be the Speaker of the House? Like,
don't you got to actually be a member? Don't you
got don't you actually have to be in the House
of Representatives before you can be the Speaker of the House.
(34:26):
They talking about Trump running for the position, Like I
don't think anybody ever thought of that. Don't you got
to be a member of Congress be able to be
in charge of Congress? I mean, it's not written. Noway,
if you say, ain't no rule that says it, well, yeah,
I guess you're right. Ain't no rule that says you
can't bend over eat your dog's doodoo.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
I guess ain't no rule. But I just I didn't
think i'd have to make that rule.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
And man jump. Then it said where are the fences?
And watch me push at him? And boy is he pushing.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Listen, let me give y'all some game. Please learn from
Kevin McCarthy. Don't ever be that thirsty, Okay, because when
you that thirsty, bruh, you knew what it was. Ain't
nowhere in the world. You ain't know what it was.
You was just thirsty. Listen, hood politicians.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Hey, I've never called y'all that. Hum, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I don't know if I can deem y'all that, because
I don't know how many y'all actually from the block. Anyway, Listen, guys,
don't ever be that thirsty, because.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
That's how you get played a hood politics, y'all.
