Speaker 1 (00:02):
As media. All right, a couple points of feedback before
I get into this whole show. I'm gonna talk more
about Epstein, and I just want to make it clear
because somebody pointed this out earlier, that seems as though
yesterday or last week, I was kind of normalizing the
(00:24):
sexual abuse of it all to be like kind of
making light of it, like these weird white people love children.
Sit is disgusting. Okay, Like let me make this very clear.
Nothing about what Epstein was doing was okay, okay, like this,
I got no patience for that. And even the examples
(00:47):
I was giving about, like sometimes you just be backstage,
it just be little girls. You don't notice the reality.
The completion of that story is you go, it's probably
time for me to go, and I'm probably never go
hang with this dude again. That's really if you're not
in charge of it, if that's your boy, then you
look at him like, my nigga, what the what are we?
(01:08):
What are we doing? But just listen, you're right, I
should not have glazed over that. So simply there's no nah, fam,
shit is not okay. All right, let's do this. What's up, y'all?
(01:50):
That is Alma's electric bike that she's renting, and I
feel like my wife, who she prefers to say partner.
I prefer wife mainly because, like, I like the idea
of having a phrase that communicates the singularity of who
(02:13):
she is to me. You know, I have other partners,
I ain't got she the only wife. So I like
using that term because it communicates this is a there's
only one person that can have this, and it's her.
She's the only I got other partners, so I don't know,
that's just me. Communicates the specialness of it. But refer
(02:35):
to her by her prefix doctor Alma, who really don't
care about the fact that this studio. She like, I'm
renting the electric bike, and you got to keep it
in the office, So there it is in frame. Anyway,
that's for you guys who are watching this. For you
that aren't watching this, What the hell am I talking about? Anyway?
(02:57):
The doc in her book Chinona Finding Your Inner Badass
for Healing, which highly recommend incredible book. I feel like
I can tell the story I'm about to tell because
she talks about it in her book. It's about how
(03:18):
she got released from her gang. So in LA there's
these things called like starter gangs, and then there's like
party cruise, tag banging, all these different ways that in
some ways you move up the echelon into becoming a
(03:39):
certified street gang member. Right the big gangs like y'all
hear the ms thirteens, the Sao Chows or like the
Eighteenth Street, the Maltruchas, like whatever we're talking about, Rowland sixties,
whatever it is. There's pee wee versions of it for
like the Junior High, you know what I'm saying, or
(04:01):
particular neighborhood sets or you know what I'm saying, the
Playboy gangsters like all that stuff. They're all hoodsters. They're
all types of levels of intensity. Before you could just
be like, you're not a subsidiary. You know, you're not
a subsidiary of the main set. So anyway, she was
(04:25):
in a you know, starter gang, middle school whatever, right
happily on her way because she's just from that part
of town from HP. She HP is Huntington Park, which
is we would call that Southeast LA, which is where
like Cypress Hill, South Kate. A lot of the soul
(04:46):
assassins like that sound is from that area. One of
the main streets that run through that area is and
you could draw your conclusions. Is a street name called Florence,
so you could draw your conclusion as to like what
hood I'm talking about. Anyway, she was banging a set.
(05:07):
They used to call her lot happy, and it's mainly
because she ain't never smile, so like she already got
resting bitch face. But she was also ferociously angry at
the time. But so they called her lot happy, and
part of her anger was really she was just quiet.
(05:28):
And again she was going through things that you wouldn't
want anybody to go. Oh, this is in her book,
but y'all remember them three ring binders that had the
clear you know, it was a three ring binder, but
it had the clear things so you could slide papers in. Well,
she had her report card in. Now, what was interesting
about her is although she ain't know her birth daddy,
(05:52):
her daddy that raised her stepfather, was very involved in
her life, you know, sometimes a little too involved, you know.
He was, I mean, he was old school, old school Mexican,
you know what I'm saying, was selling like little bags
of juice in downtown Mexico City, you know, since third grade,
(06:13):
raising money for the family, like just traditional old school
you feel me style, and of course she was rebelling.
I was part of why she was gang banging. But anyway,
her report card was in there, but her dad, he
didn't play about her grades. Now, obviously she became a
pH d in education, so she was a straight A student.
She just happened to be from the hood. Anyway, her
(06:36):
big hommy saw her report card and was like, yo,
what is this because it's straight a's. And they were like,
how did you how is this happening? And she was like,
my dad would kill me if I didn't like you
know what I'm saying, Like I have to just like
(06:57):
y'all do don't How are you fine at time to
do the work and run the streets with us? Like
what is this? What is happening right now? And she
was like, I don't know, you just do it, Like
she was blessed with the fact that like she likes reading,
she likes learning and education just for some people to
(07:17):
just be easy for them, you know what I'm saying.
And plus she had that fear from her daddy. Anyway,
they were like, we couldn't do this if we tried.
And then they were like why are you Why do
you hang with us? Like why are you gangbanging? Why
are you in this gang? What are you doing? Like
you're smart, like you have a future. These are ogs,
(07:39):
the little other little girls in a gang bang and
they're like basically they're like, we know what we signed
up for. We know we have no future. This is
our only chance you can get out, so you shouldn't
do this. They was going to. I mean, she was
jumped in and everything. They was gonna let her walk away.
(08:00):
So I remember her telling me this story and it's
again it's in her book. I was letting her to
I was remember her telling me the story and she
was just like I was like, what was you thinking?
Like was you relieved? And she was like no, I
was confused. I was like, who am I going to
hang out with? Like you guys are my friends? Like
I don't have I don't have any other friends, Like
(08:21):
what am I supposed to? This is my whole network parties?
I go to the people, I hang out with the boys.
I like, it's all in. What do I And they
were like, nah, fam you good, don't come back? And yeah,
sure enough they let her walk out. Obviously this saved
(08:43):
her life and put her on the trajectory of the
life that she ended up having and landed her to
the brother you are listening to at this very moment. Now.
While I have always liked me a little Chola, it
would have been anathema for her to actually date me
(09:07):
where that situation happened. We're that situation to continue the
way that it was. But I want to key in
on the fact that her being able to walk away
gave her pause. And it's about the fact that it's
not as simple as just getting out of a bad situation.
(09:31):
You're leaving your whole network, even if that network is toxic.
These are the only people you know. This is your
whole social community. You ain't building no relationships with nobody.
You're not really with the nerds, you're not really with
the jocks. You don't really know them. You can just
(09:52):
get up from one lunch table and go to the
other one because they got history to it's starting over
and it's really not that easy. So, like you know,
even if it's the right thing to do, standing on business,
(10:13):
it's a little difficult. So today I want to speak
from the heart to y'all Maga folk, who are absolutely
homeless right now. Standing on Tanto's is difficult. Politics, y'all,
(10:59):
Yo yo, yo yo. Welcome to the hood. Politics with
prop podcasts where I really make people mad about defending Marxism.
I don't know if y'all had a chance to peep
out my comment section. It's for some reason if people
defend capitalism as if it's their own child, like my
(11:22):
baby could do no wrong, and I'm like, okay, sometimes
your baby be wrong. It could be that could stuff sometimes,
like like like keV on stage says, sometimes you gotta
tell your babies no. Sometimes the answer is no and bruh.
(11:42):
You don't don't know why I talk about my capitalism.
It's like dog like sometimes you know what I'm saying,
there's some stuff we should I'm just saying, y'all got
some blind spots like Nigga relaxed. Anyway, y'all man, y'all
got big mad. Okay. I guess I won't talk about
(12:03):
Carl Marx no more, but Nicka f relax oh man. Anyway,
I want to talk today from hort. You know we're
a pork core outside from the hort. I want to
talk from the heart today. Dang. I was actually wasn't
trying to be extra, that's just really I'm from La
anyway about Magagate. For some reason, this Epstein situation was
(12:31):
finally the drip of water that finally broke through the concrete,
and it broke through in such a way that, again,
like I said last week, everything is funny except for
what actually happened. Because what actually happened was this man
was a known pedophile, a sexual deviant who liked them
(12:54):
little girls and had island of him little girls where
rich weirdos would go and have parties. And there was
clearly an inner sanctum of folks who was really with
all the shit. And what I tried to say last
week was that it is not as clandestine as the
(13:14):
as the tenfoil Heads wanted to be, but it's also
not as innocent as the Trump administration now wants you
to believe, meaning it's somewhere. It's a combination of all that.
And I try to give the example even of my
own life, where sometimes you just be at the function
because you know somebody that knows somebody. Sometimes you might
(13:37):
be there because you was a plus one or something.
Sometimes you might be there because you was just like
in the Epstein situation, just trying to get funding, you know,
for your project, but you didn't. I wasn't invited to
the back room. I ain't know nothing about this island situation.
But if I did, I flew there hearing rumors about
the things. But then there's other people that was like, oh, no, nigga,
(13:59):
I'm with it. It's oh, you're all on the same plane, right,
You're all at the same party. So I know you
want some sort of like list, a spreadsheet you feel
me that has everybody's names on it. But just listen.
The reality is it just it don't work like that.
There's probably whatever those Epstein files are, their court documents,
(14:23):
they are police reports. It's just a ton of stuff
that's very hard to go through. And the issue with
like conspiracy heads is, like I said before, some of
the shit be true and some of it is, like again,
right in front of your face, fam of course Trump
is involved. This isn't rocket science. There are photos now
(14:48):
you just saw he's suing the watching the post. This
is the watching post. The people that posted the letter
of him, his letter that's supposed to be a letter
to where he drew a naked girl for Epstein for
his birthday. He was like, I don't draw anyway. The
Maga coalition and the Magites, if you will again, not maggots,
(15:13):
not a jerk. But what Trump has been able to
do is build this coalition, and the coalition has this
degree of weirdos in there that he is in the
find out stage about, but clearly doesn't matter because, like
I've said so many times on this show, we know
dudes like him, everything is transactional. You have no loyalty
(15:38):
to the loyalty is to the extent that you've given
me something. I am getting something of y'all need to
give it back to you. I'm getting something from you.
As long as you've given me what I need, you
can stick around. That's all that matters. I don't owe
any of y'all, And check this out. What I give
you is so good that even if you don't like it,
(15:59):
you ain't gonna do which is really I feel like
the vibe that he came out with the Epstein thing with,
like listen, y'all ain't gonna do shit, y'all getting mad,
shut the fuck up about it. You ain't gonna do shit.
You not gonna vote Democrat. You gonna vote for me
and do everything everything the fuck I tell you to do. Okay,
stop it, which is the energy that he originally came
(16:21):
out with when he was like, oh yeah, Nahsten, that
ain't no files. But then he started scrambling, which was
crazy watching him scramble doing these just we see him
go off the rails on social media, but it's usually
because he angry. This kind of felt like he was
lost where it was like, ain't no files. The files
(16:42):
were put together by the Democrats. It's a hoax. It's
not there, but it's a hoax because it is there
and I don't want to be a part of it.
I'm still looking at the twenty twenty election. The blonde
is still great, right, So just like Bruh, like it
seemed like you had that defense set up a long
time ago. All this is reviewed to get to what
(17:05):
I really want to talk to. It's the idea of
are you going to stay ten toes or not? Now
Trump was able to build this coalition again because everything
is transactional. I don't think he believes in any of
this stuff, but all of that equaled the presidency for him.
Starting with the weirdest of weird which would have been
(17:28):
a thing that should have been a red flag for
most people. If you get in a line, you cheering
from somebody, and you look behind you and it's a Nazi,
you should be like, maybe I'm in the wrong line right.
That would be one red flag for you. But the
next red flag would be like if he take one
of the weirdos and put him in charge, now we
(17:48):
really got a problem because, Okay, in his coalition is
the David Duke weirdo Nazi, proud boy tiki torch head
ass people that he could kind of just be like, look, nigga,
they just voted for me. It is what it is.
Until he puts Steven Miller in charge. My nigga, that
man is objectively a white supremacist. So that's one part
(18:09):
of the coalition that's weird. Then you got the ten
foil conspiracy theory folks, the Alex Jones of the world,
right of m weirdos, which would be fine until you
put the rfks in charge. Now you put RFK in
charge and he bring in the hippie dippies, and the
hard part about people really getting their brain conspiracy theory
(18:32):
baked in the hippie dippies is a piece of the shit,
be true, Like big farmer, do be ripping us off?
Like that is true? The American healthcare system is freakishly corrupt.
We do eat a lot of plastic. A lot of
our food ain't food. You are right. The problem is
(18:54):
my gi. Yes, I did not want to shoot every
vaccine into I'm two day old. I don't want to
try to put twenty things inside of them. But I
tell you what, fam vaccines are objectively the single most
researched piece of knowledge in modern medicine. We've been working
(19:17):
on these since the seventeen hundreds. My nigga, Like, if
there's anything we can say, we know objectively hundreds of
years the vaccines work, My nigga, Now do all of them?
Okay again, that's what I'm saying, A piece of this
shit be true? Right, So but you bring it noose.
(19:39):
So you get to bring in the hippie dippies with
the weirdos into that section. Then you got another section
of people, Like I said, the degree of weird in
this coalition, you got this other degree of weird that's
like the Christian nationalist, you know, the people that got
the tree on the flag that the president should be Jesus.
This man is prophetically never cons coming in here to
(20:00):
clean up the children of Israel because apparently we the
new children of Israel. And speaking of the children Israel,
we gotta protect Israel because they the children of Israel.
Like just like what are you like, y'all, don't put
some theology on this mug. And then stepping down from
that are the people that just just evangelical and they
just grew up in churchy post vote Republican, you know
(20:21):
what I'm saying, because I, you know, don't believe in abortion,
and you got the fiscal people that just were like
we just Republicans. Then you got the like rule sort
of like working class that's just like I just want
somebody to like fight for me. Man, Like nobody y'all
not even talking to us. And when you do talk
to us, you talk to us like we stupid, like
wean't understand that, Like like y'all you doing all this
(20:45):
shit is like you ruining, Like well, I can't even
support myself, nigga niggas, I want to work right, but
you just like y'all like y'all swear, y'all swear you
feel me. So you bring in all these people who
genuinely are just like, man, he talking our langue was
bro you're talking about he just like he talking to
talk And it'd be nice to have something as nice
(21:07):
as him, you feel me. He cuts he like he
get bitches, you know what I'm saying, Like he just
this what he do. So like you get that group
and then finally you just get the group that's just
like I just really don't I really just don't mess
with the Democrats, man Like, I just I just don't vibe.
(21:27):
I don't like the way they move, I don't like
the way they talk to I stuff. I don't like
the way they seem so smug. They just like they
plans be unrealistic, you feel me. So you get this,
you get this whole coalition to people and Trump like
on your fuck just they made me the president, which
would be a stance again, then he put the niggas
(21:48):
in charge. Then you hire the cash pet Tels, you
put him in charge of the the d OJ and
the you hired heck said, cause the nigga looked good
on TV. Like it'd be one thing if it was
just like don't mind they in the line because it
make the crowd look bigger. But then you put them
in charge and it's like, now you're stuck with him,
(22:13):
right or are you? And that's kind of what I
want to talk about right now. For some reason, the
Epsteine story cut through all this, and the question I'm
asking is, does your man really think that you worth
the time for him? Is the juice worth to squeeze? Now?
I know, ain't nobody and not a single Maga Republican
(22:35):
listening to this show, So there's nobody that y'all. I mean,
maybe I know y'all not gonna hear this, but hoping
to develop a little empathy for the rest of us.
And it's hard to have empathy for people who have
been putting your life in danger this whole time, Right,
you want to be like oh no, no, no, no
(22:56):
no no, like no, no, no, no, no, keep that
saying energy. Now, I'll keep that same energy. You out
here wanting to send the National Guard to the city
because you want the immigrants to leave, and instead of
them doing what the fuck you said they was gonna do,
they doing what we all know you was if they
was gonna do. Kidnapped the nice old lady going after
(23:18):
no damn criminals. You know why going after criminals? You
know why I knew they wasn't gonna go after no criminals,
because that's hard, that's difficult and dangerous. You just get
Steven Miller just gave you a number. Get this many
people today. Uh, they're obviously gonna racial profile this man
also in this thing. This man gonna pass these laws
(23:40):
that are objectively against your best interests. You could see
it with your own eyes. But for some reason he
was able to turn y'all into pretzels and defend stuff
that is clearly against your best interests, but you defend them,
which is probably why his energy at first was like
gonna do shit. Y'all not going nowhere? Drop it, Stop
(24:03):
talking about the fucking X thing. Stick nobody cares about him,
But clearly everyone cares about him, but to everyone is
one of his wings. So do you stick around or
do you stand ten toes? Like nah, fam you supposed
to do this now, he said, because of this pressure
(24:23):
that he was down to release some of the court
transcript transcripts. The problem with the court transcripts is ain't
no names in that one, cause it's only victim a
talking about perpetrator B. So, yeah, his name ain't gonna
be in that, So of course he ain't gonna release that.
What you're not gonna release is the rest of the
shit that clearly implicates himself. Because why y'all not going nowhere?
(24:50):
So to me again, I know y'all not listening, but
I really wish you were. He just kind of called
y'all all, you a scary ass bitch. They ain't gonna
do nothing. I apologize for y'all hearing all these cusswords
that you ain't supposed to be hearing. I'm just saying,
(25:12):
this is what he's saying to them. We care about
the babies, We care about the peedles. He just looked
at that whole church, your whole evangelical, your whole human
trafficking movement, was like you knew what it was when
you got here. And that's the reality. Y'all knew who
he was. Y'all knew what it was. And I don't
(25:35):
know why you're still mad about this. You ain't going nowhere?
Are you? Are? They? We are a lot of like
the lefties, like getting their phones out, being like, Okay,
this might be it, this might be it. I don't know.
And the reason I don't know is what I want
(25:56):
to discuss with you right now. Okay, the reality is
it's really hard to leave a coulde next? All right?
(26:42):
For y'all who know me, my origin stories, my narrative
come from church. I did a lot of like music
that was Christian adjacent. You know, I don't come from white,
western right wing evangelical I just come from black church,
Latino church. Now. I did get checked in one of
(27:05):
the shows to stop conflating and saying that the tourst
anonymous being black is being in black church. It's not
that's not fair. You are absolutely correct. I'm talking about
my own experience here. So I was unaware of the
right wing political charge of it all, the whiteness of
it all. I was just unaware of it, right, But
(27:28):
that's where my distribution went. That's where anyway, that put
me on the radar for a lot of people who
have struggled with the evangelical space, and then a lot
of people who have just completely walked away from the faith,
the exvangelicals, the deconstructed you know what I'm saying, The
(27:50):
people who've taken apart the problematic systems of their belief.
But I know for me in my field, but still
feel like there's a spiritual rooting that I know because
you're in my dms and you're telling me that you
were happy to find that I'm still doing this hear
me on Behind the Bastards or you're still following my
music and have been kind of like yo, You've kind
(28:11):
of always been sort of a consistent light really talking
about you know, racism and justice and the bullshit. You
know what I'm saying, which I'm greatly thankful for. But
I bring them up because these phrases we throw around,
you're articulating something that's actually very difficult to do. That's
(28:31):
why I started off this story with what happened with Alma.
When you're from a hood, in a gang, or part
of a church, part of a community, part of a family,
it's not just something you show up to on Sundays.
This is your entire existence, even if you don't subscribe
(28:55):
to all the things. I know I'm jumping between obviously,
between street life in church life, but what I'm trying
to say is it's the same in this sense. I
know people that are like, hey, so why'd you join
the gang? And you're like, my mom in it, my
daddy in it, my uncle in it, my cousin's in it.
It's all we know. My grandma stays strapped like everybody.
(29:18):
We all my grandma lived right there. My uncle got
shot right on that corner. This is what we do.
Are you listening to that answer? The answer is this
is all we know. It's not necessarily the violence or
the like I'm cripping because I love the idea of
being a crip. This is this is all we know, right,
(29:39):
I don't know anyone else on any other street. Well,
my mom brings friends over, and for some reason, black
people make you call them auntie and uncle. You know
what I'm saying. But they cripping too, you know what
I'm saying. Like, even if you got a your mom
got a sibling who got out. When he comes back,
(30:01):
he grew up here too. He clicked right back in.
Ain't sound just like everybody else. Bamboo, who we had
on the show first, I was like, when you get
jumped in, he goes, I don't even know I was
getting jumped in. My uncle was like, hey, go fight
that fool, it'd be funny. It was like, congratulations, you're
part of the set, like you just you know what
I'm saying. I know I've said my story plenty of
times to where it was just like the people that
(30:23):
came to defend me when I was being picked on,
who was like, no, you gotta fight them were parts
of sets. So like I'm officially affiliated with them. Do
you understand? This is all we know? You walk out
the door, Miss Johnson that lives across the street, her nephew,
stay with her right now. He part of the hood.
(30:45):
When we go to have a barbecue, when we go
to Fourth of July celebrations, these people, birthday parties, they
all are somehow affiliated with this community. This is all
we know. So if you denounce that, if you walk
away from that, you're not just walking away from this
particular thing. These are your only friends. Where do you
(31:06):
go when you leave a church, it's the same. These
were your These were the people that watched your children.
These were the people you went to dinner with when
you had when you had financial problems, when you had
marital issues, when you when you when you were getting
picked on at school and you needed friends. This was
your youth group, your Wednesday night service, like these were
your first crush, My first crush was at my church.
(31:28):
You know, my first crutch was Reagan at uh at school.
But like, but then after that, y'all saying, my other
crush was just it was at church. Where did I
learn how to do graffiti at church? I like, believe
it or not, it was at church because we had
graffiti artists at church, learned how to say, I learned
how to ali at church. Like, this was just start.
This is our world. The three groomsmen I in my marriage,
(31:52):
in my in my wedding, I've known since second grade
why they went to my church. This was just our world,
no matter how wild we were, no matter what we
actually believe, it's just started. So when you so, but
if you actively say I am renouncing this, you're removing
your yourself from your entire network. And that is scary. Well,
(32:17):
what if your network, I hear you already, your network
is neo Nazi. They're clearly evil. Well, these are people
like it's like cults. It's clearly detrimental. You are obviously
being brainwashed, you are obviously being isolated from all sources
of reality, obviously, But it's not that simple. Standing ten
(32:42):
tolls is difficult. Now, the part that makes this pod
super weird is I'm talking about conspiracy theorists. I'm talking
about people who are dead wrong about the Epstein case.
I'm asking you you're gonna walk away? Like is this?
(33:04):
Is this enough for you to leave? Well? I understand,
because that would mean you'd be alone? Am I encouraging
them to go be alone? To stand on their principles
that there's a cabal of Democrats that the Clintons had
him killed. This is so bizarre. Really, what I'm saying
(33:27):
is to the MAGA coalition, they have, whether they know
it or not, been adopted into an in group that
gives them purpose. Sometimes I look at some of these
like MAGA like female like mommy blogs turned like MAGA influencers,
(33:48):
and I'm like, what was you doing before this? Like what? Like?
This really is really y'all? Really, this is really what
y'all doing right now? You're you found a place. Granted
that place is freakishly racist and detrimental to your own
health and is not tied in reality in any way,
but found a place, and I for one again, as
(34:11):
somebody from the hood, understand what it means to find
a place. Vin Staple said, when Kanye went full Christian
Vin Staple said, I understand how Kanye feels about Jesus.
That's the way I feel about Crippen. Now, granted, Vince's
one of the funniest humans on earth, but part of
(34:32):
why he's so funny is how profound that statement is.
Meaning you can't tell me nothing. You can't tell me
nothing about nothing, no matter how wrong this is. So
I say that to all of us that are wondering
why there are no Congress members, even on the right,
who clearly looked at that big beautiful bill Act still
(34:56):
pisses me off that it's called act and still having
still on ten toes and was just like nigga, No,
because who you gonna go get sushi with at lunch? Democrats? Right, Well,
all of a sudden, go kick it with alc Now, No, well,
you and you and Jasmine gonna go, y'all gonna go
get cocktails with Jasmine? Nah, I get it. It's hard.
(35:20):
I guess the white boys call it an albatross. It's
hard to be an albatross really, to be the only
one like for you know, if you we usually gonna
hang out in the library at lunch. The whole time.
What are you gonna know? At some point you gotta
you gotta go outside and sit at the lunch tables
if you decided that this was it. Now, they do
(35:41):
it in the movies all the time, but this ain't
a movie. Baby, standing on ten toes is scary. So
will this finally break up the MAGA Coalition? I don't know.
It depends depends on how about that life you are?
Uh politics? All right? Now, don't you hit stop on
(36:16):
this pod? You better listen to these credits. I need
you to finish this thing so I can get the
download numbers. Okay, so don't stop it yet, but listen.

Don't let nobody lie to you. If you understand urban living,
you understand politics. These people is not smarter than you.
We'll see y'all next week.
As media. All right, a couple points of feedback before
I get into this whole show. I'm gonna talk more
about Epstein, and I just want to make it clear
because somebody pointed this out earlier, that seems as though
yesterday or last week, I was kind of normalizing the
(00:24):
sexual abuse of it all to be like kind of
making light of it, like these weird white people love children.
Sit is disgusting. Okay, Like let me make this very clear.
Nothing about what Epstein was doing was okay, okay, like this,
I got no patience for that. And even the examples
(00:47):
I was giving about, like sometimes you just be backstage,
it just be little girls. You don't notice the reality.
The completion of that story is you go, it's probably
time for me to go, and I'm probably never go
hang with this dude again. That's really if you're not
in charge of it, if that's your boy, then you
look at him like, my nigga, what the what are we?
(01:08):
What are we doing? But just listen, you're right, I
should not have glazed over that. So simply there's no nah, fam,
shit is not okay. All right, let's do this. What's up, y'all?
(01:50):
That is Alma's electric bike that she's renting, and I
feel like my wife, who she prefers to say partner.
I prefer wife mainly because, like, I like the idea
of having a phrase that communicates the singularity of who
(02:13):
she is to me. You know, I have other partners,
I ain't got she the only wife. So I like
using that term because it communicates this is a there's
only one person that can have this, and it's her.
She's the only I got other partners, so I don't know,
that's just me. Communicates the specialness of it. But refer
(02:35):
to her by her prefix doctor Alma, who really don't
care about the fact that this studio. She like, I'm
renting the electric bike, and you got to keep it
in the office, So there it is in frame. Anyway,
that's for you guys who are watching this. For you
that aren't watching this, What the hell am I talking about? Anyway?
(02:57):
The doc in her book Chinona Finding Your Inner Badass
for Healing, which highly recommend incredible book. I feel like
I can tell the story I'm about to tell because
she talks about it in her book. It's about how
(03:18):
she got released from her gang. So in LA there's
these things called like starter gangs, and then there's like
party cruise, tag banging, all these different ways that in
some ways you move up the echelon into becoming a
(03:39):
certified street gang member. Right the big gangs like y'all
hear the ms thirteens, the Sao Chows or like the
Eighteenth Street, the Maltruchas, like whatever we're talking about, Rowland sixties,
whatever it is. There's pee wee versions of it for
like the Junior High, you know what I'm saying, or
(04:01):
particular neighborhood sets or you know what I'm saying, the
Playboy gangsters like all that stuff. They're all hoodsters. They're
all types of levels of intensity. Before you could just
be like, you're not a subsidiary. You know, you're not
a subsidiary of the main set. So anyway, she was
(04:25):
in a you know, starter gang, middle school whatever, right
happily on her way because she's just from that part
of town from HP. She HP is Huntington Park, which
is we would call that Southeast LA, which is where
like Cypress Hill, South Kate. A lot of the soul
(04:46):
assassins like that sound is from that area. One of
the main streets that run through that area is and
you could draw your conclusions. Is a street name called Florence,
so you could draw your conclusion as to like what
hood I'm talking about. Anyway, she was banging a set.
(05:07):
They used to call her lot happy, and it's mainly
because she ain't never smile, so like she already got
resting bitch face. But she was also ferociously angry at
the time. But so they called her lot happy, and
part of her anger was really she was just quiet.
(05:28):
And again she was going through things that you wouldn't
want anybody to go. Oh, this is in her book,
but y'all remember them three ring binders that had the
clear you know, it was a three ring binder, but
it had the clear things so you could slide papers in. Well,
she had her report card in. Now, what was interesting
about her is although she ain't know her birth daddy,
(05:52):
her daddy that raised her stepfather, was very involved in
her life, you know, sometimes a little too involved, you know.
He was, I mean, he was old school, old school Mexican,
you know what I'm saying, was selling like little bags
of juice in downtown Mexico City, you know, since third grade,
(06:13):
raising money for the family, like just traditional old school
you feel me style, and of course she was rebelling.
I was part of why she was gang banging. But anyway,
her report card was in there, but her dad, he
didn't play about her grades. Now, obviously she became a
pH d in education, so she was a straight A student.
She just happened to be from the hood. Anyway, her
(06:36):
big hommy saw her report card and was like, yo,
what is this because it's straight a's. And they were like,
how did you how is this happening? And she was like,
my dad would kill me if I didn't like you
know what I'm saying, Like I have to just like
(06:57):
y'all do don't How are you fine at time to
do the work and run the streets with us? Like
what is this? What is happening right now? And she
was like, I don't know, you just do it, Like
she was blessed with the fact that like she likes reading,
she likes learning and education just for some people to
(07:17):
just be easy for them, you know what I'm saying.
And plus she had that fear from her daddy. Anyway,
they were like, we couldn't do this if we tried.
And then they were like why are you Why do
you hang with us? Like why are you gangbanging? Why
are you in this gang? What are you doing? Like
you're smart, like you have a future. These are ogs,
(07:39):
the little other little girls in a gang bang and
they're like basically they're like, we know what we signed
up for. We know we have no future. This is
our only chance you can get out, so you shouldn't
do this. They was going to. I mean, she was
jumped in and everything. They was gonna let her walk away.
(08:00):
So I remember her telling me this story and it's
again it's in her book. I was letting her to
I was remember her telling me the story and she
was just like I was like, what was you thinking?
Like was you relieved? And she was like no, I
was confused. I was like, who am I going to
hang out with? Like you guys are my friends? Like
I don't have I don't have any other friends, Like
(08:21):
what am I supposed to? This is my whole network parties?
I go to the people, I hang out with the boys.
I like, it's all in. What do I And they
were like, nah, fam you good, don't come back? And yeah,
sure enough they let her walk out. Obviously this saved
(08:43):
her life and put her on the trajectory of the
life that she ended up having and landed her to
the brother you are listening to at this very moment. Now.
While I have always liked me a little Chola, it
would have been anathema for her to actually date me
(09:07):
where that situation happened. We're that situation to continue the
way that it was. But I want to key in
on the fact that her being able to walk away
gave her pause. And it's about the fact that it's
not as simple as just getting out of a bad situation.
(09:31):
You're leaving your whole network, even if that network is toxic.
These are the only people you know. This is your
whole social community. You ain't building no relationships with nobody.
You're not really with the nerds, you're not really with
the jocks. You don't really know them. You can just
(09:52):
get up from one lunch table and go to the
other one because they got history to it's starting over
and it's really not that easy. So, like you know,
even if it's the right thing to do, standing on business,
(10:13):
it's a little difficult. So today I want to speak
from the heart to y'all Maga folk, who are absolutely
homeless right now. Standing on Tanto's is difficult. Politics, y'all,
(10:59):
Yo yo, yo yo. Welcome to the hood. Politics with
prop podcasts where I really make people mad about defending Marxism.
I don't know if y'all had a chance to peep
out my comment section. It's for some reason if people
defend capitalism as if it's their own child, like my
(11:22):
baby could do no wrong, and I'm like, okay, sometimes
your baby be wrong. It could be that could stuff sometimes,
like like like keV on stage says, sometimes you gotta
tell your babies no. Sometimes the answer is no and bruh.
(11:42):
You don't don't know why I talk about my capitalism.
It's like dog like sometimes you know what I'm saying,
there's some stuff we should I'm just saying, y'all got
some blind spots like Nigga relaxed. Anyway, y'all man, y'all
got big mad. Okay. I guess I won't talk about
(12:03):
Carl Marx no more, but Nicka f relax oh man. Anyway,
I want to talk today from hort. You know we're
a pork core outside from the hort. I want to
talk from the heart today. Dang. I was actually wasn't
trying to be extra, that's just really I'm from La
anyway about Magagate. For some reason, this Epstein situation was
(12:31):
finally the drip of water that finally broke through the concrete,
and it broke through in such a way that, again,
like I said last week, everything is funny except for
what actually happened. Because what actually happened was this man
was a known pedophile, a sexual deviant who liked them
(12:54):
little girls and had island of him little girls where
rich weirdos would go and have parties. And there was
clearly an inner sanctum of folks who was really with
all the shit. And what I tried to say last
week was that it is not as clandestine as the
(13:14):
as the tenfoil Heads wanted to be, but it's also
not as innocent as the Trump administration now wants you
to believe, meaning it's somewhere. It's a combination of all that.
And I try to give the example even of my
own life, where sometimes you just be at the function
because you know somebody that knows somebody. Sometimes you might
(13:37):
be there because you was a plus one or something.
Sometimes you might be there because you was just like
in the Epstein situation, just trying to get funding, you know,
for your project, but you didn't. I wasn't invited to
the back room. I ain't know nothing about this island situation.
But if I did, I flew there hearing rumors about
the things. But then there's other people that was like, oh, no, nigga,
(13:59):
I'm with it. It's oh, you're all on the same plane, right,
You're all at the same party. So I know you
want some sort of like list, a spreadsheet you feel
me that has everybody's names on it. But just listen.
The reality is it just it don't work like that.
There's probably whatever those Epstein files are, their court documents,
(14:23):
they are police reports. It's just a ton of stuff
that's very hard to go through. And the issue with
like conspiracy heads is, like I said before, some of
the shit be true and some of it is, like again,
right in front of your face, fam of course Trump
is involved. This isn't rocket science. There are photos now
(14:48):
you just saw he's suing the watching the post. This
is the watching post. The people that posted the letter
of him, his letter that's supposed to be a letter
to where he drew a naked girl for Epstein for
his birthday. He was like, I don't draw anyway. The
Maga coalition and the Magites, if you will again, not maggots,
(15:13):
not a jerk. But what Trump has been able to
do is build this coalition, and the coalition has this
degree of weirdos in there that he is in the
find out stage about, but clearly doesn't matter because, like
I've said so many times on this show, we know
dudes like him, everything is transactional. You have no loyalty
(15:38):
to the loyalty is to the extent that you've given
me something. I am getting something of y'all need to
give it back to you. I'm getting something from you.
As long as you've given me what I need, you
can stick around. That's all that matters. I don't owe
any of y'all, And check this out. What I give
you is so good that even if you don't like it,
(15:59):
you ain't gonna do which is really I feel like
the vibe that he came out with the Epstein thing with,
like listen, y'all ain't gonna do shit, y'all getting mad,
shut the fuck up about it. You ain't gonna do shit.
You not gonna vote Democrat. You gonna vote for me
and do everything everything the fuck I tell you to do. Okay,
stop it, which is the energy that he originally came
(16:21):
out with when he was like, oh yeah, Nahsten, that
ain't no files. But then he started scrambling, which was
crazy watching him scramble doing these just we see him
go off the rails on social media, but it's usually
because he angry. This kind of felt like he was
lost where it was like, ain't no files. The files
(16:42):
were put together by the Democrats. It's a hoax. It's
not there, but it's a hoax because it is there
and I don't want to be a part of it.
I'm still looking at the twenty twenty election. The blonde
is still great, right, So just like Bruh, like it
seemed like you had that defense set up a long
time ago. All this is reviewed to get to what
(17:05):
I really want to talk to. It's the idea of
are you going to stay ten toes or not? Now
Trump was able to build this coalition again because everything
is transactional. I don't think he believes in any of
this stuff, but all of that equaled the presidency for him.
Starting with the weirdest of weird which would have been
(17:28):
a thing that should have been a red flag for
most people. If you get in a line, you cheering
from somebody, and you look behind you and it's a Nazi,
you should be like, maybe I'm in the wrong line right.
That would be one red flag for you. But the
next red flag would be like if he take one
of the weirdos and put him in charge, now we
(17:48):
really got a problem because, Okay, in his coalition is
the David Duke weirdo Nazi, proud boy tiki torch head
ass people that he could kind of just be like, look, nigga,
they just voted for me. It is what it is.
Until he puts Steven Miller in charge. My nigga, that
man is objectively a white supremacist. So that's one part
(18:09):
of the coalition that's weird. Then you got the ten
foil conspiracy theory folks, the Alex Jones of the world,
right of m weirdos, which would be fine until you
put the rfks in charge. Now you put RFK in
charge and he bring in the hippie dippies, and the
hard part about people really getting their brain conspiracy theory
(18:32):
baked in the hippie dippies is a piece of the shit,
be true, Like big farmer, do be ripping us off?
Like that is true? The American healthcare system is freakishly corrupt.
We do eat a lot of plastic. A lot of
our food ain't food. You are right. The problem is
(18:54):
my gi. Yes, I did not want to shoot every
vaccine into I'm two day old. I don't want to
try to put twenty things inside of them. But I
tell you what, fam vaccines are objectively the single most
researched piece of knowledge in modern medicine. We've been working
(19:17):
on these since the seventeen hundreds. My nigga, Like, if
there's anything we can say, we know objectively hundreds of
years the vaccines work, My nigga, Now do all of them?
Okay again, that's what I'm saying, A piece of this
shit be true? Right, So but you bring it noose.
(19:39):
So you get to bring in the hippie dippies with
the weirdos into that section. Then you got another section
of people, Like I said, the degree of weird in
this coalition, you got this other degree of weird that's
like the Christian nationalist, you know, the people that got
the tree on the flag that the president should be Jesus.
This man is prophetically never cons coming in here to
(20:00):
clean up the children of Israel because apparently we the
new children of Israel. And speaking of the children Israel,
we gotta protect Israel because they the children of Israel.
Like just like what are you like, y'all, don't put
some theology on this mug. And then stepping down from
that are the people that just just evangelical and they
just grew up in churchy post vote Republican, you know
(20:21):
what I'm saying, because I, you know, don't believe in abortion,
and you got the fiscal people that just were like
we just Republicans. Then you got the like rule sort
of like working class that's just like I just want
somebody to like fight for me. Man, Like nobody y'all
not even talking to us. And when you do talk
to us, you talk to us like we stupid, like
wean't understand that, Like like y'all you doing all this
(20:45):
shit is like you ruining, Like well, I can't even
support myself, nigga niggas, I want to work right, but
you just like y'all like y'all swear, y'all swear you
feel me. So you bring in all these people who
genuinely are just like, man, he talking our langue was
bro you're talking about he just like he talking to
talk And it'd be nice to have something as nice
(21:07):
as him, you feel me. He cuts he like he
get bitches, you know what I'm saying, Like he just
this what he do. So like you get that group
and then finally you just get the group that's just
like I just really don't I really just don't mess
with the Democrats, man Like, I just I just don't vibe.
(21:27):
I don't like the way they move, I don't like
the way they talk to I stuff. I don't like
the way they seem so smug. They just like they
plans be unrealistic, you feel me. So you get this,
you get this whole coalition to people and Trump like
on your fuck just they made me the president, which
would be a stance again, then he put the niggas
(21:48):
in charge. Then you hire the cash pet Tels, you
put him in charge of the the d OJ and
the you hired heck said, cause the nigga looked good
on TV. Like it'd be one thing if it was
just like don't mind they in the line because it
make the crowd look bigger. But then you put them
in charge and it's like, now you're stuck with him,
(22:13):
right or are you? And that's kind of what I
want to talk about right now. For some reason, the
Epsteine story cut through all this, and the question I'm
asking is, does your man really think that you worth
the time for him? Is the juice worth to squeeze? Now?
I know, ain't nobody and not a single Maga Republican
(22:35):
listening to this show, So there's nobody that y'all. I mean,
maybe I know y'all not gonna hear this, but hoping
to develop a little empathy for the rest of us.
And it's hard to have empathy for people who have
been putting your life in danger this whole time, Right,
you want to be like oh no, no, no, no
(22:56):
no no, like no, no, no, no, no, keep that
saying energy. Now, I'll keep that same energy. You out
here wanting to send the National Guard to the city
because you want the immigrants to leave, and instead of
them doing what the fuck you said they was gonna do,
they doing what we all know you was if they
was gonna do. Kidnapped the nice old lady going after
(23:18):
no damn criminals. You know why going after criminals? You
know why I knew they wasn't gonna go after no criminals,
because that's hard, that's difficult and dangerous. You just get
Steven Miller just gave you a number. Get this many
people today. Uh, they're obviously gonna racial profile this man
also in this thing. This man gonna pass these laws
(23:40):
that are objectively against your best interests. You could see
it with your own eyes. But for some reason he
was able to turn y'all into pretzels and defend stuff
that is clearly against your best interests, but you defend them,
which is probably why his energy at first was like
gonna do shit. Y'all not going nowhere? Drop it, Stop
(24:03):
talking about the fucking X thing. Stick nobody cares about him,
But clearly everyone cares about him, but to everyone is
one of his wings. So do you stick around or
do you stand ten toes? Like nah, fam you supposed
to do this now, he said, because of this pressure
(24:23):
that he was down to release some of the court
transcript transcripts. The problem with the court transcripts is ain't
no names in that one, cause it's only victim a
talking about perpetrator B. So, yeah, his name ain't gonna
be in that, So of course he ain't gonna release that.
What you're not gonna release is the rest of the
shit that clearly implicates himself. Because why y'all not going nowhere?
(24:50):
So to me again, I know y'all not listening, but
I really wish you were. He just kind of called
y'all all, you a scary ass bitch. They ain't gonna
do nothing. I apologize for y'all hearing all these cusswords
that you ain't supposed to be hearing. I'm just saying,
(25:12):
this is what he's saying to them. We care about
the babies, We care about the peedles. He just looked
at that whole church, your whole evangelical, your whole human
trafficking movement, was like you knew what it was when
you got here. And that's the reality. Y'all knew who
he was. Y'all knew what it was. And I don't
(25:35):
know why you're still mad about this. You ain't going nowhere?
Are you? Are? They? We are a lot of like
the lefties, like getting their phones out, being like, Okay,
this might be it, this might be it. I don't know.
And the reason I don't know is what I want
(25:56):
to discuss with you right now. Okay, the reality is
it's really hard to leave a coulde next? All right?
(26:42):
For y'all who know me, my origin stories, my narrative
come from church. I did a lot of like music
that was Christian adjacent. You know, I don't come from white,
western right wing evangelical I just come from black church,
Latino church. Now. I did get checked in one of
(27:05):
the shows to stop conflating and saying that the tourst
anonymous being black is being in black church. It's not
that's not fair. You are absolutely correct. I'm talking about
my own experience here. So I was unaware of the
right wing political charge of it all, the whiteness of
it all. I was just unaware of it, right, But
(27:28):
that's where my distribution went. That's where anyway, that put
me on the radar for a lot of people who
have struggled with the evangelical space, and then a lot
of people who have just completely walked away from the faith,
the exvangelicals, the deconstructed you know what I'm saying, The
(27:50):
people who've taken apart the problematic systems of their belief.
But I know for me in my field, but still
feel like there's a spiritual rooting that I know because
you're in my dms and you're telling me that you
were happy to find that I'm still doing this hear
me on Behind the Bastards or you're still following my
music and have been kind of like yo, You've kind
(28:11):
of always been sort of a consistent light really talking
about you know, racism and justice and the bullshit. You
know what I'm saying, which I'm greatly thankful for. But
I bring them up because these phrases we throw around,
you're articulating something that's actually very difficult to do. That's
(28:31):
why I started off this story with what happened with Alma.
When you're from a hood, in a gang, or part
of a church, part of a community, part of a family,
it's not just something you show up to on Sundays.
This is your entire existence, even if you don't subscribe
(28:55):
to all the things. I know I'm jumping between obviously,
between street life in church life, but what I'm trying
to say is it's the same in this sense. I
know people that are like, hey, so why'd you join
the gang? And you're like, my mom in it, my
daddy in it, my uncle in it, my cousin's in it.
It's all we know. My grandma stays strapped like everybody.
(29:18):
We all my grandma lived right there. My uncle got
shot right on that corner. This is what we do.
Are you listening to that answer? The answer is this
is all we know. It's not necessarily the violence or
the like I'm cripping because I love the idea of
being a crip. This is this is all we know, right,
(29:39):
I don't know anyone else on any other street. Well,
my mom brings friends over, and for some reason, black
people make you call them auntie and uncle. You know
what I'm saying. But they cripping too, you know what
I'm saying. Like, even if you got a your mom
got a sibling who got out. When he comes back,
(30:01):
he grew up here too. He clicked right back in.
Ain't sound just like everybody else. Bamboo, who we had
on the show first, I was like, when you get
jumped in, he goes, I don't even know I was
getting jumped in. My uncle was like, hey, go fight
that fool, it'd be funny. It was like, congratulations, you're
part of the set, like you just you know what
I'm saying. I know I've said my story plenty of
times to where it was just like the people that
(30:23):
came to defend me when I was being picked on,
who was like, no, you gotta fight them were parts
of sets. So like I'm officially affiliated with them. Do
you understand? This is all we know? You walk out
the door, Miss Johnson that lives across the street, her nephew,
stay with her right now. He part of the hood.
(30:45):
When we go to have a barbecue, when we go
to Fourth of July celebrations, these people, birthday parties, they
all are somehow affiliated with this community. This is all
we know. So if you denounce that, if you walk
away from that, you're not just walking away from this
particular thing. These are your only friends. Where do you
(31:06):
go when you leave a church, it's the same. These
were your These were the people that watched your children.
These were the people you went to dinner with when
you had when you had financial problems, when you had
marital issues, when you when you when you were getting
picked on at school and you needed friends. This was
your youth group, your Wednesday night service, like these were
your first crush, My first crush was at my church.
(31:28):
You know, my first crutch was Reagan at uh at school.
But like, but then after that, y'all saying, my other
crush was just it was at church. Where did I
learn how to do graffiti at church? I like, believe
it or not, it was at church because we had
graffiti artists at church, learned how to say, I learned
how to ali at church. Like, this was just start.
This is our world. The three groomsmen I in my marriage,
(31:52):
in my in my wedding, I've known since second grade
why they went to my church. This was just our world,
no matter how wild we were, no matter what we
actually believe, it's just started. So when you so, but
if you actively say I am renouncing this, you're removing
your yourself from your entire network. And that is scary. Well,
(32:17):
what if your network, I hear you already, your network
is neo Nazi. They're clearly evil. Well, these are people
like it's like cults. It's clearly detrimental. You are obviously
being brainwashed, you are obviously being isolated from all sources
of reality, obviously, But it's not that simple. Standing ten
(32:42):
tolls is difficult. Now, the part that makes this pod
super weird is I'm talking about conspiracy theorists. I'm talking
about people who are dead wrong about the Epstein case.
I'm asking you you're gonna walk away? Like is this?
(33:04):
Is this enough for you to leave? Well? I understand,
because that would mean you'd be alone? Am I encouraging
them to go be alone? To stand on their principles
that there's a cabal of Democrats that the Clintons had
him killed. This is so bizarre. Really, what I'm saying
(33:27):
is to the MAGA coalition, they have, whether they know
it or not, been adopted into an in group that
gives them purpose. Sometimes I look at some of these
like MAGA like female like mommy blogs turned like MAGA influencers,
(33:48):
and I'm like, what was you doing before this? Like what? Like?
This really is really y'all? Really, this is really what
y'all doing right now? You're you found a place. Granted
that place is freakishly racist and detrimental to your own
health and is not tied in reality in any way,
but found a place, and I for one again, as
(34:11):
somebody from the hood, understand what it means to find
a place. Vin Staple said, when Kanye went full Christian
Vin Staple said, I understand how Kanye feels about Jesus.
That's the way I feel about Crippen. Now, granted, Vince's
one of the funniest humans on earth, but part of
(34:32):
why he's so funny is how profound that statement is.
Meaning you can't tell me nothing. You can't tell me
nothing about nothing, no matter how wrong this is. So
I say that to all of us that are wondering
why there are no Congress members, even on the right,
who clearly looked at that big beautiful bill Act still
(34:56):
pisses me off that it's called act and still having
still on ten toes and was just like nigga, No,
because who you gonna go get sushi with at lunch? Democrats? Right, Well,
all of a sudden, go kick it with alc Now, No, well,
you and you and Jasmine gonna go, y'all gonna go
get cocktails with Jasmine? Nah, I get it. It's hard.
(35:20):
I guess the white boys call it an albatross. It's
hard to be an albatross really, to be the only
one like for you know, if you we usually gonna
hang out in the library at lunch. The whole time.
What are you gonna know? At some point you gotta
you gotta go outside and sit at the lunch tables
if you decided that this was it. Now, they do
(35:41):
it in the movies all the time, but this ain't
a movie. Baby, standing on ten toes is scary. So
will this finally break up the MAGA Coalition? I don't know.
It depends depends on how about that life you are?
Uh politics? All right? Now, don't you hit stop on
(36:16):
this pod? You better listen to these credits. I need
you to finish this thing so I can get the
download numbers. Okay, so don't stop it yet, but listen.
