(01:43):
Oh you a hater, You ain't willing to cater to
this links and tarrotles of modern Farrell's and cable news
and it was all cool to the Ghostoppo came for
you all that pa, you gotta pay y'all. This year,
just twenty twenty four came out swinging. It's absolutely wonderful
in a year that has promised to be one of
(02:05):
the most enraging doom scrolling. This this is a doom
scrolling year. Like we we notice, and we all know
how bad doom scrolling is. But this gift that the
one and only Kat Williams gave us a pimp name
slick Back. Like, y'all, Kat don't do interviews, He don't
really pop out.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He just do his movies, play his roles.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You see him, you know, pop in on the Zeigeist
and like, but he's the butt of a joke about
how all he all drugs all these kids blah, blah
blah on Shannon Sharp's podcast, the quote this man gave
he takes a sip of Shannon Sharp's special Kanyak Kat
is just spurraying every possible black comic. It just comics
(02:53):
that he was like, y'all ain't put in no work.
Y'all claiming to be the kings, y'all really not kings.
And the thing about this is again, Kat, don't ever
talk like that's what And he essentially was like, y'all
can say whatever y'all want about me, that's absurd. But
once you started slandering Bernie, it was like, all right,
and then starts saying, you know, wild stuff that's clearly
(03:14):
a lie, and nobody's calling nobody's calling these people on it. Anyway,
Shannon Shannon Sharp on his club Shay Shay, which is
the name of his pod, was just gobsmacked and just
had there was no reason to stop the man from talking.
He was just going in, just letting the man talk.
And then some other comics were catching some strays and
(03:38):
then Shannon was like, Yo, why you gotta throw this
nigga under the bus.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That was funny do.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Eat funny you funny dudekat just turns, takes a sip
of the comnac with his pinky up and says, you
have an unnatural allegiance to losers and it is not
like you. We got to talk about the Nikki Haley
and Ron Desanti's town last night.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Politic y'all, Yo, good politic.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Ron, Hey, y'all, New Year, First episode.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Of the year. Man, Old man, Old man, Welcome to
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I told y'all I was gonna be y'all's guide for
this crazy election, and let's gone get started.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So today's January fourth, No.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Fifth, Today's January fifth that I'm recording this usually, like
I said, I'm four episodes ahead, but I had to
jump in and make this to a front of the
line passed because so much has happened this weekend and
I can't let it. I can't let too much time
go in between us talking about this. I already got
one in the can about Trump's cases about not being
(04:58):
on the ballots. We already got one of George Santos
and just the final party in Christmas Gift, we got
of him. We got one about Nicki Haley being the
black thought of the Republican Party I'll explain later. Just
staying with us, we got to talk about this just
incredible race for second place. This is the most tightly
(05:20):
contested Consolation Prize red ribbon situation I've ever seen. Like
these fools is going for it. I could be wrong,
you know, we all could be wrong, as we know,
and as what twenty sixteen and twenty twenty has taught
us is that polls don't mean nothing that I think.
I've said this so many times on our podcast. Polls
(05:42):
in a lot of ways, are like Yelp reviews or
Google reviews. You have to feel really passionate one way
or another to actually leave a review. Most people don't
be leaving. Now, reviews on podcasts is different. That's because
we be asking y'all too. But most of the time,
and even in how many podcasts you listen to, you
never review. How many restaurants you go to, you've never
(06:04):
reviewed because even the ones you like, even the ones
you don't like, because it's not that serious. So a
lot of times most people don't.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Most people don't leave reviews. So I know when I'm
in a Poland place.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
First of all, if I'm in a Poling place, it's
two thousand and nine number one.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Because I mail my ballots in.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
So, first of all, you already a type of person
if you actually going to the thing. Secondly, if you're
not in a hurry and you got time to actually
complete a survey. How many times you done call it
into something and they said stay on the line and
complete this five question survey?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
How many times you stayed online?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So all that to say, we could be wrong, but
as of today, you have an unnatural alliance to losers
and that is not like you. Why is y'all giving
these people any time in the first place? Is the
point that Kat is making. It is what I'm gonna
talk about. I don't understand why y'all even arguing this stuff,
(07:02):
but we're gonna get into it. Let's talk about this
strange alliance of losers now. But before I do that, y'all,
this Kat Williams episode on Shannon Shar's podcast has taken up.
I mean, if you anywhere near people of color, sports
or comedy, then this somehow has taken over your feed
(07:24):
in a way that things have not taken over our
feed like this in a long time. Part of why, again,
is because Kat usually don't be talking and then secondly
because he aim and took shot at everyone, no one
was safe. Ricky Smiley, Kevin Hart, the Kings of comedy,
said the entertainer Steve.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Harvey, no one was safe.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
And then to be fair and balanced, he talked about
who we have respect, we respect DL He He's like,
that's a real one. Dave Chappelle. He was really outside
like he would. He talked about his past, the craft,
the amount of shows he's done, the years he's put
in being on comic view and creating all this stuff,
(08:07):
you know, set some set some rumors straight, like the man.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
The man went in.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They asked him about Kanye at his points about Kanye
was brilliant, where he was just like, I don't understand,
like we made him a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
All agreed that he has.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
A mental illness, and then it's very cruel of us
to just watch him do these things and continue to
put him in situations that triggers those things and then
laugh at him when he does what we all know
he's gonna do. He was like, that's cruel. It breaks
his heart. Such a kind response. Then he said some
other stuff about his past that might be mythmaking I
(08:43):
don't know about like being able to read when he.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Was seven whatever, That's not what we're talking about here.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
He got enough enough for the people he named Ludacris,
era of the people he named, enough for them to
clap back, enough for them to make statements and respond
to it, which is which means is like, like, goddamn cat,
just some of the most amazing one liners he's he said,
(09:10):
Oh man, he talked about this girl Wanda in Not
Wanda Sykes, who's like a g He talked about this
Girlwanda in Atlanta. That basically was like, you were referring
to me derogatorily as a gay man or as part.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Of the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
And he was like, gay people don't really like it
when you use the idea of gay as derogatory. So
he was like, so why would you do that to
try to down me? And he goes in a community
I'm not even a part of. I have no issues
with the gay with the gay community, but to use
it as a slur, that's why she got canceled.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I was like, damn nigga, Like, yes, that's correct.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, he went in this he said to said the
entertained it looked like a walrist, like it's his his
hands don't reach his weights. He was this is said,
said be stealing his jokes. He was like, the man
don't write, And then you could immediately go to x
Twitter and see clips of said actually stealing jokes.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
It's just oh man, it was masterful.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But the one I'm zoning in on was when he
was talking about faiseon Love and Faison is the guy
who played big Worm in Friday.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
What's that big part?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I mean big Worm, Like, I don't think you applying
yourself now now we can. Big Worm was an amazing
character in the show, like in the movie big Worm's hilarious,
Like I think Faison's funny. I'm with Senna and I
think he's funny. Does he have any stand up specials? No?
And cats like because he's not that good cats like
(10:54):
he wasn't in Next Friday because his role wasn't that great.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I mean, I'm not in Hollywood, don't.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Right, But it was in Shannon Sharp defending in a
way that I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He's like, what was wrong with Big Word?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You have an unnatural alliance to losers and that is.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Not like you, Like he was.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
So disappointed that you are defending this man. And because
again Shannon Sharp, that's he's a Hall of Famer in
the NFL, so he would say he was like and
the argument that Kat was making was like, Bro, you
can't just you shouldn't stand for a dude who's on
steroids juicing talking about I'm the greatest player alive. You
(11:39):
shouldn't even be in a conversation. You wasn't even in
the gym. You cheated you if you was on steroids,
you can't be in the convo. So that was Kat's point.
It's like, bro, like y'all went straight to movies, Like,
you wasn't outside with us, You wasn't in the gym.
You like, I don't want to hear it from you.
He was like, people like Earthquake, people like DL hughsley
(11:59):
Day in the late great legend Bernie Mack. He's like
they legends, they was in the gym. You can take
nothing from them. I will stand for no slander for them.
That's we're a team of winners attitude. But alas Republican Party,
y'all really out here with these two second places talking
(12:22):
about which one of y'all got the best silver medal? Now,
with all that being said, let's let me the all
jokes aside. We have an episode. Like I said that,
I called her the black thought of the Republican race
right now, and what I mean by that is a
whole episode about it. But what I mean by that
is like when you are technically on paper, probably the
(12:42):
best choice, but you ain't gonna win, is what I
mean by that. If you are again we're talking about
within their house, if you are within within the Republican house,
if you just looking at pound for pound, paper for paper. See,
the problem with Nikki Haley is she got actual ideas. Listen,
I'm not a fan, and as we go through this,
(13:04):
I'm gonna critique some of the stances she stands on.
And I'm obviously I'm a drag round to saying this. No,
I'm not gonna drag him. Let me not say that.
I'm gonna critique some of the stances he has and
let y'all decide for yourselves. I ain't gonna drag either
one of them. I'm just gonna tell you what I
would tell you what they trying to say. Anyway, Nikki
Hayley seems to keep making a mistake that Elizabeth Warren
(13:24):
and Hillary Clinton made which is actually answering the question,
which is actually having policy ideas that she could articulate.
Rather than saying we should do this, she's saying we
should do this.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
This is how you do it.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Here's where I did it over here, and here's why
I believe it's gonna work.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's all paper.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Like I'm trying to tell you, like you can't take
it from nim Marita. You know what I'm saying, Nimarada,
that's her actual name. You can't take it from her.
She actually she actually got plans. And one of my
arguments will happen with Elizabeth Warren despite the fact that
I don't know what it is about our country, but
we just we just can't stand a woman being smart.
(14:07):
But one thing about her was the fact that when
she answered the question, she actually answered. She didn't play
to the crowd. It wasn't too much of a nerd
like you actually had ideas.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
She's got a plan. That's what happened with Hillary. Hillary
was like, I.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Mean, I was Secretary of State. I've been around Washington.
We tried this at this time. Here's what we went wrong. Here,
here's what I think we should do so you answered
the question with actual policies. You can't do that standing
next to no class clown. We need hits, that's what
look lyrics. Lyrics don't make number one. Get to the
chorus before you bore us. That's look. If you want
(14:46):
to hit unless you Kendrick Lamar, you want that radio hit, buddy,
you gotta you can't. You can't just be coming here
barring out. Were trying to sing along? I need eight
bar versus twelve bar choruses, a bridge, four bar versus
another chorus, a EDM breakdown and some sort of booty shaking.
Why don't what else is we doing? I just I
(15:09):
don't understand why you're trying to like rap. I mean
it just don't it don't be. Who's the number one
and number two streamed artist hip hop artist by a
mile last year twenty twenty three, Drake and nl E
Chopper like not even close.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I mean they not barring out.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I mean Drake can bar out, but that's not y'all
don't know those songs, you know, turn a O two
into a oh three, that's what you know, because bars
don't do it. But there's a whole episode about that anyway,
and Ron DeSantis, the reality is he got all the
toxicity that you like about Trump and none of the
(15:52):
toxicity you don't like about Trump.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
The man know how to behave in public.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
He know how to keep the chaos controlled while at
the same time carrying the same egregious ideas. He know
how to weaponize your own disbeliefs and your own prejudices
to his advance. He got everything you love about Trump
the sentist can do. And actually, last night January fourth,
at the thing, and it was finally like, oh, I
(16:17):
see why people like you. It looked like somebody sent
him to the gym as to how to present yourself,
you know, because obviously the man is he not likable,
Like you're just like you look at him, You're just like,
this guy's a dick, Like that's usually how he comes off.
Yesterday he came off a little more civilized, like, oh,
I can see why y'all like him. I wholeheartedly disagree
(16:39):
with him, but I'll see why y'all like him. Man's
got a couple points, and he's able to present his
points in a way that if you're not careful, you
might be like, oh, damn, I think I agree with that,
but that's because he knows how to talk. Now, he
got everything Trump got. Even the fact that we are
calling them consolation prizes.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Is such a sign as.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
To where we are in our stage of democracy and
whatever the Republican Party is becoming.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
But let's get to it, all right, we're back.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Also, side note in the studio with me sitting at
her desk, is refer to her by her prefix, my
lovely spouse dr Almazerago.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
So say what's up over there?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
He's up? Shout out the LG listeners, remember in the
Red House podcast and you know all the stuff that
this all originated from. She just too busy to do podcasts.
It just is what it is. I've tried to convince her,
even on our Patreon. She's got other stuff to do,
and I respect it. She taught me what boundaries mean. Anyway,
(18:12):
what they're doing now, which I think is actually I
think it's great they're doing these rather than just having
this shouting match with eleven people on stage where you
really can't hear what these people have to say. Is
they're doing these what they're called town hall meetings. Now,
I don't get me wrong, this isn't a town hall
meeting Stan episode, because there's some serious problems with this thing, right.
(18:35):
The questions are definitely pre screened and written clearly, not
by the person asking the question, like it's something. There's
a lot of This is obviously theater their lobs to
and I.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Bet you maybe it probably written.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I don't know this, but they probably written by the
campaign team to get the person to answer these sort
of questions that they want answered so get their message out.
I get it. It's theater. Okay, okay, now listen to me.
I'm let me talk to you player.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Listen to me.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
When you talk to a liar, let them answer the question.
And it's not so much to catch them in the lie,
but it's to understand what they deem important to lie about.
It's understand the way that their brain works. All information
is good. It tells you some about that person, about
what they hold as valuable and what they're trying to
(19:24):
actually convey. So even if these questions ain't real questions,
they softy, they love they you know, they love. The
person even stands up and says, hey, this person from
this district or this county or this city, they're a
registered Republican they're probably going to vote for you, or
they're probably going to vote for this person, or they're undecided.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Here's their question. Come on, fam, you know it. Don't
piss on up back and tell me it's raining.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So there's a part of it that's clearly corny, but
it's helpful because we get to hear them and what
they're trying to project about themselves and how they want
to present them to the world. All that shit is valuable.
So they had Ron de Santisco first. Ron's must is
the nigga is not likable. What I believe his goal
(20:12):
coming out of this was like, I need y'all to
like me like I came off. I'm losing because niggas
don't like me like y'all used to love me. You
just showed yourself to be a weirdo, and Niggi was
dragging him. Niggi had jokes. He had to show himself
to be likable. He understood he was playing from behind,
(20:32):
So you got to get into the gym. And I'm
gonna say he went into the gym. I'm like, I'm
gonna give him his credit. He polished up his game.
He didn't look as ridiculous and unprepared and like he's
doing his best human impression, Like he seemed very comfortable
in this position. Now what was he talking about? So again,
(20:54):
First of all, I'm gonna say mission complete. You needed
to seem likable. Second one is you needed to stop
seeming like a bitch when it came to Trump.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Are you gonna run against him?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
But you still, you know, smelling his booty every time
you get a chance. Why is you not taking shots
at him? Again, I'm gonna say he threw a few
shots at him. He was like, this, nigga is not
pro life. Everything he said he was gonna do he
didn't do. He's like, it's not so much that I
don't like the guy. I'm just saying, like I actually
agreed with what he said he was gonna do. He
just ain't doing it. So why should we give you
(21:23):
a second chance? You had four years to do the
shit you said you was gonna do. Now you're gonna
tell us again you're finna do the same thing you
said you was gonna do. And then he was like, Nigga,
you're a lame duck Like this, we can only get
four years from you, so why, Like, why is we
do you messy? Like, why is we worried about all this?
And he's like, in January sixth is unacceptable, like I
(21:44):
don't understand. But again then again, but I like the
shit he talked. I like what he was gonna do.
I'm just gonna actually do it to shave my nigga
to Shay, which is also a Cat Williams reference to
shave my nigga too, Shay. Now, when you ask about
shooting guns, what you think he thinks? He thinks exactly
what y'all think. He thinks, I'm not going to take
away your guns. I think we need to harden schools now.
(22:06):
I don't know if you ever heard about a hard location. Nice, no,
but a hardening a location means what we do at airports,
federal buildings, state buildings, where there's a security and there's
one entrance, so you put a security guard there, you
got your metal detector. You can only go through that entrant.
(22:28):
Maybe you could set up multiple one entrance like an airport, right,
but the point is there's no side doors, there's no
other access. You got to go through this point. So
their argument for how we keep our school safes is
we make them like the airport, metal detectors and guns. Now,
as somebody from LA who lived through the metal detector era,
(22:49):
the clear backpack era, a man, I don't know how
much safer I felt, but there is a lot of
like research. Part of my wife's doctoral program is the
feeling of safe. It might the school now looks like
a prison, has got surveillance cameras and security guards and
metal detectors and buzz in and buzz out things to
(23:09):
get in and out of the school. It's just like
a jail uniforms. But you do the students feel safer?
Is it actually gonna do it? Either way?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That's his argument.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
They asked him about the mandatory three day weights for
your gun permit, and there's some right now. It's in
a legislator in Florida to be like are we going
to end that? And he's like, I think it should
be instantaneous. It's like there's such thing as the internet
should have to wait three days full. You can run
a background check right here. It doesn't have to take
that long, was his argument. Now, counterpoint could be the
three days is more for the buyer to be like,
(23:39):
do you really need a gun? Like I'm gonna give
you three days to think about it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
But we'll see.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
He thinks that behavioral threat assessments, which is something that
they already do, which essentially is again it's another way
of like a background check. You could do it with
the child, is you run a behavioral threat assessment. Now,
behavioral threat assessment is something that does happen in school psychology.
It is something that again since I worked with inner
city kids and worked in juvenile halls, it is something
(24:07):
that we do kind of look at. You understand a
person's history, understands how volatile they situation is, and their
mental stability, their access to weapons, who they're around, all
this good stuff. And since I'm out of the classroom,
I can't really tell you what it looks like. Now
I've been out the classroom for a while, I can
tell you that, in my experience, the cost benefit analysis
(24:32):
is something that is left wanting to me. I think
there was part of me that was as a teacher
that was like I would get these kids with like
severe autism or actually better yet very light autism, like
somewhere on the spectrum of Aspergers and stuff like that.
There was some times where their parents didn't even want
to tell me that because they said they didn't want
(24:52):
their kids to be treated different. Now I'm talking about
a bunch of different things because and I'm talking about
the state of California.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
There was an IEP.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Which had more to do about a student's individual education thing.
Then there was a five or four plan what had
to do with their behavioral and then there's the threat
assessment thing that we talking about right here. So there's
a lot of different things files they have on our kids.
But so I'm kind of jumping around that ended up
putting me in a very weakened position because I should
(25:25):
treat them differently because they have different needs. So like,
it's almost unfair to your child. I'm about to set
your child up for failure because you don't want me
to treat them, but I should.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I understand what they mean.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
But you're putting both of us at a disadvantage now
because I'm going to trigger something in this child that
is not fair to them. Had I known that that
was a situation, I wouldn't have done that to them.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I would have.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Understood I had a kid who wouldn't let go of
her towel. She had a tow like she had a towel,
and I was like, why is you carrying a put
the towel down. Can we do the work? She's just
like I can't. I was like, baby, you drag in
we're while. I was like, babe, you're dragging a towel,
Like can you You have to pick up your towel.
You're dragging it. Who's walking to the pool? You dragging
(26:08):
a towel? And then I was like, listen, if you
don't pick up this towel, I'm gonna have to carry
it for you because you're just gonna get dirty. She
couldn't pick up a towel. So I was like, baby,
give me the towel. So I took the towel and
I was care of. I was like, I want to
get dirty. She had a meltdown I've never seen in
my life. Yeah, no one told me she's autistic. If
you'd have told me she was, I would have never
(26:28):
taken a fucking towel say something right. So there's a
part of it that's like it helps us all. There's
another part of it, though, that puts a lot of times.
It always breaks this way black and brown boys in
a situation where we're now ear marked as trouble. So
(26:49):
in a scenario where you could be like a Kendrick,
like a good kid in a mad city, or like
myself who just happens to be around all this stuff,
I don't I don't have any of the desired I'm
not I'm not really outside like that. Whereas you you
have another kids, straight a student knows how to shut up,
but it's like a murderer and that and that kid
that's like it's straight a knows how to shut up,
(27:09):
but as a murderer is actually selling ecstasy pills. That's
a white boy, so you don't y'all don't notice his delinquency.
He gets a boys will be boys type situation. We
get a you're you're on your pathway to criminal. So
there's a part of that that sometimes can be very
detrimental to people of color. Now again, like I said,
there's probably better ways to do this. I don't know
(27:31):
how to stop a school shooter. I'm gonna tell you
all right now. I don't know how to stop I don't
know how to stop the ship. And I'm skipping ahead
to Nicki. NICKI made a great argument too. It's like,
I mean, we could ban ar fifteens. But that make
you feel good for a little bit, but there's still
they still don't shoot up the place. And then they
both talked about mental health. Right now, there's a lot
of taki taki muoaitaki taki, but all Rond de Santa
(27:54):
said is we need to do something about mental health.
Nikki had a better answer now concerning Trump, Like I
said before, he was like, yo, basically, don't let the
media fool you into saying that this is a done deal.
Like y'all could really make a case, which is a
great argument about the fact that you have a strange
alliance to losers. And he was like, basically, like yo,
Trump didn't deliver. He said he was going to secure
(28:15):
our borders any again, secure our borders. Borders is just
as poorous as they ever been. He pressed a fentanyl button.
He was like, look, nigga, like fentanyl killing more people
than any of our crime here combined. And he was like,
I'm gonna solve all that shit. He was like, this
birthright citizenship shit is like it's cheating too, And that's
when Prop went, hold up, hold up, okay, now unpacked this.
(28:36):
Let's unpack this fentanyl thing. Okay, number one, let's unpack that.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So they have.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Both of them are on some like catch and deport
rather than catch and release. Right, His answer to solving
is like, I'm gonna deport you immediately. Morally you up,
I'm gonna shoot on site. I'm gonna catch you. And
if you got fittinel on you, yeah, it's up to
which somebody asked him, it's like, Yo, most people come
(29:02):
here with just a backpack of some water. You just
finsa how are you finsa say that? And he was like, look, dude,
it's not like we're really gonna like just shoot on site.
Like it's like it's military. So again he's like, I'm
a strengthen the border, put something, you know, it's all
it's all the same, hits right, he just said it nicer.
But what made me give me pause was this idea
of relooking at the fourteenth Amendment, the birthright citizenship thing. Now,
(29:27):
his little history about that the birthright citizenship situation came
from the dread Scott case. Black folks know this case,
it's about your right as a citizen. This case was
essentially around are black people's citizens once they've been freed?
Because can you once this once this guy, this is
the story. Once once this slave got on a train,
(29:49):
got up out of the South and was living as
a free man.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I'm here, I'm here, like we're done. Like i'm here,
I'm freeman.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Can a slave owner up this man down and bring
him back to this slavery? So the Missouri Compromise, there's
a lot of history. The Missouri Compromise was the idea of, like,
every time we add a new state, this is all
pre Civil War, every time you add a new state
to the Union, you got to add a slave state.
Every time. If there's a free state, there's a slave state.
(30:17):
It had to be equal. That was the Missouri Compromise.
This dude, dread Scott broke free, escaped from slavery, made
it up to a free state. And the idea was,
now that I'm here, nigga, I'm free. I live here.
I signed my little X on the dotted line I'm free.
But they was like, nah, but you my property, nigger, right,
So if I could come get you, if I could
(30:38):
find you, fuck your citizenship, nigga, like you belong to me.
I didn't sign shit. I don't remember signing your freedom papers, nigga,
you still you still mine? And the drag Scott case,
the Supreme Court agreed, are you listening to me? The
Supreme Court agreed that yeah, nah, if he finds you, nah,
you really your original state, you actually belonged to that man,
(31:02):
which meant that the Missouri Compromise didn't mean shit, because
that meant that Saint Louis, which at the time was
a free state or free city in Missouri, you all
rights don't matter, nigga, Like, and they was like wait, wait, wait,
wait no, because he lived here. Nope, no, he don't.
He ours. So the fourteenth Amendment was designed to like
fix that shit, to say a nah, fam you can't
(31:25):
just no, that's not how that worked. If you're born here,
you're a citizen. Because again, the Black Codes un lestally
our lessons here. The Black Codes was right during the reconstruction,
right after the mass spaced Proclamation Thirteenth Amendment, slaves were freed.
What they did to try to stop black people from
voting was because if you're a citizen, you could vote,
(31:46):
and it was like, well, you're eligible to vote if
your granddaddy was free. Well, clearly nobody of African descent
had a free granddad. We were just freed, so it
was trying to so anyway, the fourteenth Amendment was supposed
to fit that, and what DeSantis Are argument is to
use that to cover immigration what they call anchor babies,
(32:08):
meaning if a person comes here illegally and has a child,
does that child get to be a citizen? And it's like,
niggad do they're born here? And he's like, you're using
the fourteenth Amendment in a way that it wasn't meant
to be used. Now, if I were you, I would
know that, Gee, this sounds like a really nice, professionally
(32:29):
packaged way to be incredibly racist towards immigrants.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
But I'm gonna let.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Y'all figure that out, because again, you're smart enough to
make your own decisions.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I'm just saying that's how it sounds to me, because
I'm like, how are you going to decipher that.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
You're gonna say, if your parents are immigrants, or if
your parents are illegal immigrants, but you were born here,
then therefore you don't get to be a citizen because
your parents weren't citizens, then where is that child a
citizen of?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Just anyway, I'm just saying it's.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
A weird legal argument to just try to keep people
you don't like out. That's what it looks like to me.
But he say it so nice again because he polished up.
He don't sound like a bumbling racist like like your
boy Trump.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Would he say it nicer?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Now, as far as education, what he claimed to be
was that Florida was ranked number one in education. Now,
a simple Google would tell you it's Florida ranked number
one in education. Obviously you should understand that that means
a lot of different things. And what Florida is ranked
number one in education in is what is called educational freedom,
(33:40):
which is some made up shit. Okay, Because again, which
state is ranked number one? And ed the first the
first link will tell you which state is number one
in education is Massachusetts has the best ranked public schools
in the United States and the second most educated state,
just behind the District of Columbia. About ninety point four
four percent of Massachusetts adults have high school diplomas and
(34:03):
forty two point nine percent of bachelor's degree or higher.
So whatever the fuck he talking about number one in
is not what he's communicating to y'all.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
So just every politician do it.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
But just know when he say Florida number one education
He mean educational freedom, meaning our white people comfortable.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
N let's just be real with y'all. Now.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Anyway, last thing about the centus is his whole thing
about being the only one that served in the military.
I served in the military. I served our country, so
I know what it's like. I far be it from
me to ever drag a veteran. I just want to
make sure I understood the way y'all thought about it.
So I just put it out on my Instagram and
I googled it. I was like, Okay, he served, how
(34:44):
did he serve? So he deployed with the Seals as
a legal advisor in the Navy, a lieutenant that was
a legal advisor to the Seals, and in Guantanamo Bay.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
A legal advisor. So he was not a Seal. He
was not in common I'm bad.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
He was advising on the legality of their moves.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Now, listen, I'm not a VET. My father is. I'm not.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
I wanted to know does that count? I just you
tell me? So I asked, and most people was like, listen, dude,
I'm gonna summarize what most people said that were actual vets,
that it counts with an asterisk. It counts in the
sense that anybody serves anyboy service, but you were, but
he is a pencil pusher. I don't believe none of
this stolen valorshit like, don't act like you saw if
(35:30):
you if you out here cappin like you saw some heat,
then fuck you. But service is service. So I thought
that that was an interesting thing. Now to me, the
vibe I'm getting from it is he's capping as if
he was really outside. But again, I am not going
to you never know what people went through. I'm not
gonna take away that stuff, that stuff from him. But nigga,
(35:52):
you ain't no, you ain't no John McCaine, my nigga,
like you wasn't a captured pow Cuz, like nigga, you
was looking at a screen and just giving advice.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
I mean, again, it's more than I've done.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I'm just saying it sounds like kap but either way,
and then finally, I already said last thing. But finally,
what I noticed about how he the game he figured
out is he only said woke once like somebody got
in his ear and was like, you gotta stop talking
about this shit if you want to be liked by
more people than this. You got to figure out how
to stop being so you're the anti woke guy. It
(36:23):
sounds like you have one note, especially when you went
after Disney, it was like, what the what are you doing?
Like we talked about the indie artist's guide to running
a campaign is just because some work locally, don't mean
to work nationally. So this is the national stage, nigga.
You gotta stop doing all that like cargo drill, like nigga.
(36:44):
Everybody ain't into that shit. You know, I'm gonna keep
it real nigga. So okay, whatever, somebody got in his
brain and was like, you gotta stop talking all that
woke shit. If you want more people to vote for
you, you gotta start making most sense. He was real polished,
but again, if you paying attention, he gonna do this.
He promising to do the same ship Trump said. He
just actually know how to govern. He's slick enough to
(37:07):
actually get some of this shit done. Now, if that's
your jam, Nigga is out. If that's how you move,
that's your vocus.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Next, Nikki, we're back.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
So Nima Rata, I think I think her Indian name
is though I don't know why she's gonna go by it.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Well, I do know, but anyway, she jump up on
the stage.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Now I wouldn't have made this comment, but my wife
noticed it.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I will defer to her.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
That has to do with anything women's you know, virtue
sig signaling femininity. I would have not commented about her
dress because I thought that's what you weren't supposed to
do that, especially like nobody comment about men's clothes, Like
why are you commenting about women's clothes?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
So I was not gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
But my wife walked in as I was watching this,
and she was just like, are they Republicans?
Speaker 2 (38:24):
I was like yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
She was like she got that fifty style dress on.
She trying to harkenhim back to the She's like, only
conservative women do that. They be trying to harken back
to this like conservative values thing. So they visually dressed themselves,
like you noticed how Hilly Clinton was always in in pantsuits.
She was like, yeah, I'm hark you're harkening back to
something by your auth. I was like, I thought you
weren't supposed to talk about women's clothes. She was like,
(38:47):
I'm making a point about what they communicating I'm like, damn,
I wouldn't have thought of that. I thought Niggis dress
is cute. Yeah, I'm be honest with you, but I
wouldn't go say nothing about it anyway. I forgot to
talk about COVID with the santis. He basically he stands
by his I brought this up out of nowhere because
I'm looking at my notes, basically stands.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
By his record. He was like I did right. I chose.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
He's like, there's only one virus out of a million
viruses that are around in the world. I chose human
connection over the virus. That's your move. That's your move. Now,
Nicki jumps up her musts is basically like she needs
to just she needs to maintain her lead.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
She has this tone of being the adult in the room.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Like I said, she's black thought, she's clearly the greatest
lyricist in the in the batch. Again, this episode's coming soon,
you know, she's and again, like I said, she actually
got plans and she needs to prove that right, So
now she need a de throne.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
The de throne trumps now the.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
First question because it just happened at Iowa was a
school shooting. First day of school somebody got shot up.
What was her answers about that, basically the same when
you talk about mental health, we need to harden locations.
But then what she did different than the same entsis
she explained what harden locations mean.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Damn okay.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Then after that she was like, these are my plans
for mental health. She was like, we don't have enough
crisis centers. She was like, we don't need it. We
don't have enough addiction centers. She was like, a lot
of that stuff comes from addiction. When you can't get
the help you get, you start leading the drugs. When
you don't get the drugs you need, you start turning
into violence. She was like, we need addiction centers, right,
And she goes, and even if that, even if you
in both of those situations, not like your insurance covers it,
(40:26):
damn nigga facts. And I'm like, okay, so you're going
to make sure our insurance covers it. She ain't respond
to that though, but still, I mean, you the first
Republican I heard actually had an idea about those things.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
There's that. Next they asked her about Trump, and she
said the same thing.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
She was like, look, I like it, it's just and again,
this weird dance they got to do around him. She
was like, look, man, I believe he was the right
guy for that time, but the reality is chaos follows it.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Good answer.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
And then she was like, and strategically, we don't know
if he can be Biden. It's like this, it's a
nail her. She's like, in every poll we reading, I
can beat him by I could be biting by at
least fifteen points.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Again, like we said earlier, do you trust polls? I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
And she could also say some stuff that we can't verify.
But she could say like, look, dude, I was the
one telling Trump like, bro, you' finna be your worst enemy.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
I don't agree with all the moves you making.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
And she has some track records where she kind of
differed from what he wanted this nigga.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
And here's where you got to stand. Put your antennas on.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
She was like, and the last thing about this nigga
is like he'd he'd just be closing up to dictators.
I don't understand why he liked dictators so much. That's
not good for us. Food is fool's Like you're congratulating
Putin for his strength, like I don't understand you're out
there complimenting jijingping out there in China after China gave
us COVID, to which the record scratched.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
For me, I was like, China gave us COVID. That's out.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh again, slide slide that shit in y'all. Y'all caught
that China gave us COVID. That's a weird way to
talk about the spread of a SARS coronavirus, that China
gave it to us. My nigga, like, you understand, that
could have happened anywhere, but she don't really fuck with China,
which comes clearer later She revealed her cars there. That's
(42:11):
why I was like, let them talk, because you won't
let them talk because you gonna hear what they really think.
And it's really weird for a woman of color, for
a brown woman to say something like that. At least
that's what I think. But either way, that's what happened.
As far as the borders, same thing, more agents she
wanted to do to remain in Mexico situation. She's like, look,
just don't even come here. Process of in Mexico. She
(42:33):
want to do the same thing, catching deport she was
talking about illegal immigration.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
She was like, but no, that's what she's all about.
I legal.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
She's like with elite, with legal immigration. Here's something interesting
about her. Or she's a child of immigrants. She's like, Yo,
speed up the process. It's absurd, Like it shouldn't take
fifteen years now for me that actually resonates because of
my in laws.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
It took a niggas fifteen years. Do everything right, you
know what you mean? Tell me? If I do everything right,
this could happen.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
She also believes in not quotas but merit based immigration,
basically meaning what are the jobs we need here?
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Can you do that? Okay?
Speaker 1 (43:08):
You can get in, which gets really gnarly probably in
ways you haven't really considered because if you say that,
if you're like, okay, look we need more agricultural workers,
all right, you down to work the fields, okay, come
through like you're just it's you. I mean, guys, it's Marxist,
Like whether you know that's what's funny about that. It's like,
(43:31):
that's guys, that's Marxist. Did she say, no, what does
our economy need? It needs workers in this field and
needs workers in this field, so we get those are
it's Marxist anyway. Then they asked her about Governor Abbott
in Texas about putting people in buses. She like, I'm
with all that. You said you was a sanctuary city.
I don't see what the problem is and you canna
(43:52):
take them then?
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Interesting? Interesting, but that's what you feel, you know, it
is what it is.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
They asked her about the economy, which I'm gonna do
a whole other episode on two, which really in as
far as the numbers are concerned, maybe not the vibe,
but the numbers are concerned. Economy is great, which is weird.
I get it, but I'm gonna talk about that later. Yeah,
the economy is great. It's like, I don't get it.
But average home buyers forty nine, She was like, the
(44:22):
American dream's gone, you know. She talked about that American
dream stuff. She was like, Yo, we got to lower
these interest rates, you know. And then she talked about
how she was like, as a government, we spend way
too much. Like we just spend too much. You gotta
cut the credit card. She was like, go after this
mad COVID fraud. Eliminade earmarks, take big old federal programs,
make them state they shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Why we gotta pay for it?
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Then the big one came that I was waiting, and
it was the slavery issue, the rebel flag issue, because
you may or may not know, the Dillian Roof situation
happened in her state, and the Queen Mother, Breknewsom was
the woman that climbed up and took flag down from
the state building. So she talked about her upbringing and
(45:04):
she answered it, and she answered it thoroughly. She talked
about her upbringing and it's such a dance to play
with these Republicans. She talked about her upbringing being an
Indian American family inside of South Carolina, which I cannot
imagine the thing.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
And she admitted that she experienced racism.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
She said it very fast, and she was like, we
had black friends, we had white friends. You would hear,
you know, this narrative that racism was real. Again, somebody
put her in the gym. You can't act like racism
are real. You still a brown woman running for president.
You cannot act like racism are real.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
And she did it.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
She was like, yeah, you know, of course I experienced
racism growing up. You know what I'm saying. And she
was like of course, you know, I didn't experience slavery,
but the legacy of slavery is around all the time.
She was like, she even said white supremacists. She let
the word come out of her mouth. To her credit,
now here's where propsa antenna's pop up. She said that
(45:57):
when she would come home after experiencing racism, her or
mom would say, hey, you know, your job isn't to
show them how you're different, but to show them how
you're similar, which sounds so beautiful. If you're talking to
Republicans who just want to go back to brunch and
act like there isn't a problem with race.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
We aren't we all the same, show them that we're similar.
We're much more alike than we are different. I get it.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I mean that's a good line to have, but it's
also assimilation. It's not just show them how they're similar,
it's become similar. And as a very fine line between
that is you start falling a line with the dominant
culture because it saves you from being other rising. There
(46:45):
are certain things about you you can't You always had
as skin color. Ain't nothing going to change that. You
always eat the food you eat. But what you can
do is go by Niki instead of the Marada. Show
them how you similar. And for me, that made me think,
that's how.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
You became a Republican governor.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
That's how you was able to survive in the Trump
White House was because you was willing to show them
how you were similar and become as similar as you
possibly can.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Listen, it sounds good. Now, this is me reading into that.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
I'm just saying, as a person of color, when I
hear stuff like that, that's stuff I think about. I agree,
we do have a lot in common, but it ain't
my job to show you how much we got in common.
It's my job to be myself. It's my job to
bring my uniqueness to this table. But that's just that's
what do I know. So then she talked about how
she after the Dillion Roof shooting, you know, in the
(47:43):
Charleston nine. She talked about after all that happened, how
she brought different community, faith, and business and law enforcement
leaders into a room and she was like, look, dude,
I'm a call for that coming down, and I know
everybody ain't gonna like it, but we're gonna take that
rebel flag down. That's when I was like, Okay, you're
doing some renew sim erasure. But to your credit, you
did make it happen. Well, you didn't make it happen.
(48:03):
You were made to make it happen. I don't know
if you was going to do it, May, And I'm
glad you did. I'm glad because you are. You were
the governor. You could have stopped it, but you did.
You're read the tea leaves good for you. And the
rebel flag came down from in front of the courthouse
or the yeah, the courthouse in South Carolina, but you
walked into that building for years. She said she would
(48:23):
be down to part in Trump and why she would
be down to part in Trump because she was just like,
it's just like it's kind of like the Knickson thing,
like we just need to be on with it. Do
it really due to country? Any good to have an
eighty year old man sitting in jail? And she was like,
a pardon means he was found guilty, So he'dn't already
been found guilty. Like if we're at pardoning, what good
does it do to have him sit in jail? Like
(48:44):
you forget it, Doug, Like he's eighty something, he's not
the president. He's like, in this scenario you're giving, she's
the president heatn lost, he's been found guilty. We just
need to move on, Like this is not going to
help us as a country, fine unity by just having
this man sitting in jail.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
That's her argument.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
Do you think that the country is ready for the
president to be a woman? According to her, she's like, Ah,
we've been ready, we just needed.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
The right woman. Sure, not sure I agree, but sure.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
Then they started talking about her foreign policy, which she
started going in on China. And then once she started
going in on China, she was like, look, them niggas
are not our competition.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
They are our enemy.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
And then she leaned into all the scare tactics that
China been doing. Right, they done bought acres of land,
they done stole our secrets, which they have done both
of those things. They got five hundred nukes and we
still trying to sell them stuff. Them niggas is trying
to wipe us out. Then she talked about this unholy
alliance going way back to the eighties. She was just
like China, Russia, and Iran all up on that, like
(49:46):
you know, old school like military hawk eighties pre Trump
Republican where it's like, nigga, we shoot. She talked like that.
They was like, yo, you really talk like that old
school like hawk thing. Remember, like the Republican Party has
become more like isolationists, you know she owd school. She like, listen,
the best way to secure peace is to make sure
a motherfucker is so scared of us that them niggas
(50:09):
will not do shit when we're around.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
That's her stance about.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
She's like, why we need to make sure Ukraine wins
is because nigga Ukraine, because Russia already said after we
take Ukraine, we going to Poland. That's a NATO nation.
They go to Poland, we gotta go. So we need
to make sure Ukraine wins, so we ain't gotta go
over there. We need to make sure China so the
fuck scared of us that we ain't got on. So
she was like, I'm being a hawk for the purpose
(50:33):
of peace. I mean sound like gangbanging to me anyway.
That's the type of stuff she talked about. Then they
talked about like how you're gonna get us to move on.
She was like, look, I got some plans. This is
how we're gonna drain the swamp.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
This is what I did. This what I did back
in the state.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
I looked at every committee, every little program we had.
I fired all the leaders. I was like, everybody got it,
We're gon, we're gonna shake it up. Everybody gone, let's
get new leadership and all of them. We're gonna do
an autopsy on every one of these things. I mean,
we're gonna do deep analysis. Cut the money quit. You know,
if we got people that are just like bad apples
inside of that thing, like Nigga, fire on people that's
(51:07):
just if this ship that don't that don't make no
money for us, let them go. She was like, I'm
gonna replace all the heads of these agencies. I'm gonna
get rid of problem children, because that's what I did
back home. So when she talked about draining the swamp,
didn't she received She like, this how I did.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
And that's what they own now.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
Final takeaways. I think they both shined. I think they
both was in the gym and did their homework. They
both took the show to Trump. They should have taken it,
is my opinion. I think they weakness is it's still
the same shit. You're still left with the choice of
either the Trump Republican or the Bush Republican. Either you're
(52:13):
finna be in a million wards under Nikki Haley, or
it's gonna be a horrible place for a person of color,
is my takeaway. Or you got four years of chaos
from Trump. But either way, even the fact that we're
discussing this means you have a natural alliance to losers,
and that is not like hood politics, y'all, y'as
Cool media.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yo. We bike.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Season three sucker MC. You know what I'm saying, States

(01:43):
Oh you a hater, You ain't willing to cater to
this links and tarrotles of modern Farrell's and cable news
and it was all cool to the Ghostoppo came for
you all that pa, you gotta pay y'all. This year,
just twenty twenty four came out swinging. It's absolutely wonderful
in a year that has promised to be one of
(02:05):
the most enraging doom scrolling. This this is a doom
scrolling year. Like we we notice, and we all know
how bad doom scrolling is. But this gift that the
one and only Kat Williams gave us a pimp name
slick Back. Like, y'all, Kat don't do interviews, He don't
really pop out.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He just do his movies, play his roles.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You see him, you know, pop in on the Zeigeist
and like, but he's the butt of a joke about
how all he all drugs all these kids blah, blah
blah on Shannon Sharp's podcast, the quote this man gave
he takes a sip of Shannon Sharp's special Kanyak Kat
is just spurraying every possible black comic. It just comics
(02:53):
that he was like, y'all ain't put in no work.
Y'all claiming to be the kings, y'all really not kings.
And the thing about this is again, Kat, don't ever
talk like that's what And he essentially was like, y'all
can say whatever y'all want about me, that's absurd. But
once you started slandering Bernie, it was like, all right,
and then starts saying, you know, wild stuff that's clearly
(03:14):
a lie, and nobody's calling nobody's calling these people on it. Anyway,
Shannon Shannon Sharp on his club Shay Shay, which is
the name of his pod, was just gobsmacked and just
had there was no reason to stop the man from talking.
He was just going in, just letting the man talk.
And then some other comics were catching some strays and
(03:38):
then Shannon was like, Yo, why you gotta throw this
nigga under the bus.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That was funny do.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Eat funny you funny dudekat just turns, takes a sip
of the comnac with his pinky up and says, you
have an unnatural allegiance to losers and it is not
like you. We got to talk about the Nikki Haley
and Ron Desanti's town last night.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Politic y'all, Yo, good politic.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Ron, Hey, y'all, New Year, First episode.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Of the year. Man, Old man, Old man, Welcome to
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I told y'all I was gonna be y'all's guide for
this crazy election, and let's gone get started.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So today's January fourth, No.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Fifth, Today's January fifth that I'm recording this usually, like
I said, I'm four episodes ahead, but I had to
jump in and make this to a front of the
line passed because so much has happened this weekend and
I can't let it. I can't let too much time
go in between us talking about this. I already got
one in the can about Trump's cases about not being
(04:58):
on the ballots. We already got one of George Santos
and just the final party in Christmas Gift, we got
of him. We got one about Nicki Haley being the
black thought of the Republican Party I'll explain later. Just
staying with us, we got to talk about this just
incredible race for second place. This is the most tightly
(05:20):
contested Consolation Prize red ribbon situation I've ever seen. Like
these fools is going for it. I could be wrong,
you know, we all could be wrong, as we know,
and as what twenty sixteen and twenty twenty has taught
us is that polls don't mean nothing that I think.
I've said this so many times on our podcast. Polls
(05:42):
in a lot of ways, are like Yelp reviews or
Google reviews. You have to feel really passionate one way
or another to actually leave a review. Most people don't
be leaving. Now, reviews on podcasts is different. That's because
we be asking y'all too. But most of the time,
and even in how many podcasts you listen to, you
never review. How many restaurants you go to, you've never
(06:04):
reviewed because even the ones you like, even the ones
you don't like, because it's not that serious. So a
lot of times most people don't.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Most people don't leave reviews. So I know when I'm
in a Poland place.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
First of all, if I'm in a Poling place, it's
two thousand and nine number one.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Because I mail my ballots in.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
So, first of all, you already a type of person
if you actually going to the thing. Secondly, if you're
not in a hurry and you got time to actually
complete a survey. How many times you done call it
into something and they said stay on the line and
complete this five question survey?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
How many times you stayed online?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So all that to say, we could be wrong, but
as of today, you have an unnatural alliance to losers
and that is not like you. Why is y'all giving
these people any time in the first place? Is the
point that Kat is making. It is what I'm gonna
talk about. I don't understand why y'all even arguing this stuff,
(07:02):
but we're gonna get into it. Let's talk about this
strange alliance of losers now. But before I do that, y'all,
this Kat Williams episode on Shannon Shar's podcast has taken up.
I mean, if you anywhere near people of color, sports
or comedy, then this somehow has taken over your feed
(07:24):
in a way that things have not taken over our
feed like this in a long time. Part of why, again,
is because Kat usually don't be talking and then secondly
because he aim and took shot at everyone, no one
was safe. Ricky Smiley, Kevin Hart, the Kings of comedy,
said the entertainer Steve.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Harvey, no one was safe.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
And then to be fair and balanced, he talked about
who we have respect, we respect DL He He's like,
that's a real one. Dave Chappelle. He was really outside
like he would. He talked about his past, the craft,
the amount of shows he's done, the years he's put
in being on comic view and creating all this stuff,
(08:07):
you know, set some set some rumors straight, like the man.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
The man went in.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They asked him about Kanye at his points about Kanye
was brilliant, where he was just like, I don't understand,
like we made him a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
All agreed that he has.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
A mental illness, and then it's very cruel of us
to just watch him do these things and continue to
put him in situations that triggers those things and then
laugh at him when he does what we all know
he's gonna do. He was like, that's cruel. It breaks
his heart. Such a kind response. Then he said some
other stuff about his past that might be mythmaking I
(08:43):
don't know about like being able to read when he.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Was seven whatever, That's not what we're talking about here.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
He got enough enough for the people he named Ludacris,
era of the people he named, enough for them to
clap back, enough for them to make statements and respond
to it, which is which means is like, like, goddamn cat,
just some of the most amazing one liners he's he said,
(09:10):
Oh man, he talked about this girl Wanda in Not
Wanda Sykes, who's like a g He talked about this
Girlwanda in Atlanta. That basically was like, you were referring
to me derogatorily as a gay man or as part.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Of the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
And he was like, gay people don't really like it
when you use the idea of gay as derogatory. So
he was like, so why would you do that to
try to down me? And he goes in a community
I'm not even a part of. I have no issues
with the gay with the gay community, but to use
it as a slur, that's why she got canceled.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I was like, damn nigga, Like, yes, that's correct.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, he went in this he said to said the
entertained it looked like a walrist, like it's his his
hands don't reach his weights. He was this is said,
said be stealing his jokes. He was like, the man
don't write, And then you could immediately go to x
Twitter and see clips of said actually stealing jokes.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
It's just oh man, it was masterful.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But the one I'm zoning in on was when he
was talking about faiseon Love and Faison is the guy
who played big Worm in Friday.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
What's that big part?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I mean big Worm, Like, I don't think you applying
yourself now now we can. Big Worm was an amazing
character in the show, like in the movie big Worm's hilarious,
Like I think Faison's funny. I'm with Senna and I
think he's funny. Does he have any stand up specials? No?
And cats like because he's not that good cats like
(10:54):
he wasn't in Next Friday because his role wasn't that great.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I mean, I'm not in Hollywood, don't.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Right, But it was in Shannon Sharp defending in a
way that I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He's like, what was wrong with Big Word?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You have an unnatural alliance to losers and that is.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Not like you, Like he was.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
So disappointed that you are defending this man. And because
again Shannon Sharp, that's he's a Hall of Famer in
the NFL, so he would say he was like and
the argument that Kat was making was like, Bro, you
can't just you shouldn't stand for a dude who's on
steroids juicing talking about I'm the greatest player alive. You
(11:39):
shouldn't even be in a conversation. You wasn't even in
the gym. You cheated you if you was on steroids,
you can't be in the convo. So that was Kat's point.
It's like, bro, like y'all went straight to movies, Like,
you wasn't outside with us, You wasn't in the gym.
You like, I don't want to hear it from you.
He was like, people like Earthquake, people like DL hughsley
(11:59):
Day in the late great legend Bernie Mack. He's like
they legends, they was in the gym. You can take
nothing from them. I will stand for no slander for them.
That's we're a team of winners attitude. But alas Republican Party,
y'all really out here with these two second places talking
(12:22):
about which one of y'all got the best silver medal? Now,
with all that being said, let's let me the all
jokes aside. We have an episode. Like I said that,
I called her the black thought of the Republican race
right now, and what I mean by that is a
whole episode about it. But what I mean by that
is like when you are technically on paper, probably the
(12:42):
best choice, but you ain't gonna win, is what I
mean by that. If you are again we're talking about
within their house, if you are within within the Republican house,
if you just looking at pound for pound, paper for paper. See,
the problem with Nikki Haley is she got actual ideas. Listen,
I'm not a fan, and as we go through this,
(13:04):
I'm gonna critique some of the stances she stands on.
And I'm obviously I'm a drag round to saying this. No,
I'm not gonna drag him. Let me not say that.
I'm gonna critique some of the stances he has and
let y'all decide for yourselves. I ain't gonna drag either
one of them. I'm just gonna tell you what I
would tell you what they trying to say. Anyway, Nikki
Hayley seems to keep making a mistake that Elizabeth Warren
(13:24):
and Hillary Clinton made which is actually answering the question,
which is actually having policy ideas that she could articulate.
Rather than saying we should do this, she's saying we
should do this.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
This is how you do it.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Here's where I did it over here, and here's why
I believe it's gonna work.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's all paper.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Like I'm trying to tell you, like you can't take
it from nim Marita. You know what I'm saying, Nimarada,
that's her actual name. You can't take it from her.
She actually she actually got plans. And one of my
arguments will happen with Elizabeth Warren despite the fact that
I don't know what it is about our country, but
we just we just can't stand a woman being smart.
(14:07):
But one thing about her was the fact that when
she answered the question, she actually answered. She didn't play
to the crowd. It wasn't too much of a nerd
like you actually had ideas.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
She's got a plan. That's what happened with Hillary. Hillary
was like, I.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Mean, I was Secretary of State. I've been around Washington.
We tried this at this time. Here's what we went wrong. Here,
here's what I think we should do so you answered
the question with actual policies. You can't do that standing
next to no class clown. We need hits, that's what
look lyrics. Lyrics don't make number one. Get to the
chorus before you bore us. That's look. If you want
(14:46):
to hit unless you Kendrick Lamar, you want that radio hit, buddy,
you gotta you can't. You can't just be coming here
barring out. Were trying to sing along? I need eight
bar versus twelve bar choruses, a bridge, four bar versus
another chorus, a EDM breakdown and some sort of booty shaking.
Why don't what else is we doing? I just I
(15:09):
don't understand why you're trying to like rap. I mean
it just don't it don't be. Who's the number one
and number two streamed artist hip hop artist by a
mile last year twenty twenty three, Drake and nl E
Chopper like not even close.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I mean they not barring out.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I mean Drake can bar out, but that's not y'all
don't know those songs, you know, turn a O two
into a oh three, that's what you know, because bars
don't do it. But there's a whole episode about that anyway,
and Ron DeSantis, the reality is he got all the
toxicity that you like about Trump and none of the
(15:52):
toxicity you don't like about Trump.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
The man know how to behave in public.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
He know how to keep the chaos controlled while at
the same time carrying the same egregious ideas. He know
how to weaponize your own disbeliefs and your own prejudices
to his advance. He got everything you love about Trump
the sentist can do. And actually, last night January fourth,
at the thing, and it was finally like, oh, I
(16:17):
see why people like you. It looked like somebody sent
him to the gym as to how to present yourself,
you know, because obviously the man is he not likable,
Like you're just like you look at him, You're just like,
this guy's a dick, Like that's usually how he comes off.
Yesterday he came off a little more civilized, like, oh,
I can see why y'all like him. I wholeheartedly disagree
(16:39):
with him, but I'll see why y'all like him. Man's
got a couple points, and he's able to present his
points in a way that if you're not careful, you
might be like, oh, damn, I think I agree with that,
but that's because he knows how to talk. Now, he
got everything Trump got. Even the fact that we are
calling them consolation prizes.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Is such a sign as.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
To where we are in our stage of democracy and
whatever the Republican Party is becoming.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
But let's get to it, all right, we're back.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Also, side note in the studio with me sitting at
her desk, is refer to her by her prefix, my
lovely spouse dr Almazerago.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
So say what's up over there?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
He's up? Shout out the LG listeners, remember in the
Red House podcast and you know all the stuff that
this all originated from. She just too busy to do podcasts.
It just is what it is. I've tried to convince her,
even on our Patreon. She's got other stuff to do,
and I respect it. She taught me what boundaries mean. Anyway,
(18:12):
what they're doing now, which I think is actually I
think it's great they're doing these rather than just having
this shouting match with eleven people on stage where you
really can't hear what these people have to say. Is
they're doing these what they're called town hall meetings. Now,
I don't get me wrong, this isn't a town hall
meeting Stan episode, because there's some serious problems with this thing, right.
(18:35):
The questions are definitely pre screened and written clearly, not
by the person asking the question, like it's something. There's
a lot of This is obviously theater their lobs to
and I.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Bet you maybe it probably written.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I don't know this, but they probably written by the
campaign team to get the person to answer these sort
of questions that they want answered so get their message out.
I get it. It's theater. Okay, okay, now listen to me.
I'm let me talk to you player.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Listen to me.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
When you talk to a liar, let them answer the question.
And it's not so much to catch them in the lie,
but it's to understand what they deem important to lie about.
It's understand the way that their brain works. All information
is good. It tells you some about that person, about
what they hold as valuable and what they're trying to
(19:24):
actually convey. So even if these questions ain't real questions,
they softy, they love they you know, they love. The
person even stands up and says, hey, this person from
this district or this county or this city, they're a
registered Republican they're probably going to vote for you, or
they're probably going to vote for this person, or they're undecided.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Here's their question. Come on, fam, you know it. Don't
piss on up back and tell me it's raining.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So there's a part of it that's clearly corny, but
it's helpful because we get to hear them and what
they're trying to project about themselves and how they want
to present them to the world. All that shit is valuable.
So they had Ron de Santisco first. Ron's must is
the nigga is not likable. What I believe his goal
(20:12):
coming out of this was like, I need y'all to
like me like I came off. I'm losing because niggas
don't like me like y'all used to love me. You
just showed yourself to be a weirdo, and Niggi was
dragging him. Niggi had jokes. He had to show himself
to be likable. He understood he was playing from behind,
(20:32):
So you got to get into the gym. And I'm
gonna say he went into the gym. I'm like, I'm
gonna give him his credit. He polished up his game.
He didn't look as ridiculous and unprepared and like he's
doing his best human impression, Like he seemed very comfortable
in this position. Now what was he talking about? So again,
(20:54):
First of all, I'm gonna say mission complete. You needed
to seem likable. Second one is you needed to stop
seeming like a bitch when it came to Trump.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Are you gonna run against him?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
But you still, you know, smelling his booty every time
you get a chance. Why is you not taking shots
at him? Again, I'm gonna say he threw a few
shots at him. He was like, this, nigga is not
pro life. Everything he said he was gonna do he
didn't do. He's like, it's not so much that I
don't like the guy. I'm just saying, like I actually
agreed with what he said he was gonna do. He
just ain't doing it. So why should we give you
(21:23):
a second chance? You had four years to do the
shit you said you was gonna do. Now you're gonna
tell us again you're finna do the same thing you
said you was gonna do. And then he was like, Nigga,
you're a lame duck Like this, we can only get
four years from you, so why, Like, why is we
do you messy? Like, why is we worried about all this?
And he's like, in January sixth is unacceptable, like I
(21:44):
don't understand. But again then again, but I like the
shit he talked. I like what he was gonna do.
I'm just gonna actually do it to shave my nigga
to Shay, which is also a Cat Williams reference to
shave my nigga too, Shay. Now, when you ask about
shooting guns, what you think he thinks? He thinks exactly
what y'all think. He thinks, I'm not going to take
away your guns. I think we need to harden schools now.
(22:06):
I don't know if you ever heard about a hard location. Nice, no,
but a hardening a location means what we do at airports,
federal buildings, state buildings, where there's a security and there's
one entrance, so you put a security guard there, you
got your metal detector. You can only go through that entrant.
(22:28):
Maybe you could set up multiple one entrance like an airport, right,
but the point is there's no side doors, there's no
other access. You got to go through this point. So
their argument for how we keep our school safes is
we make them like the airport, metal detectors and guns. Now,
as somebody from LA who lived through the metal detector era,
(22:49):
the clear backpack era, a man, I don't know how
much safer I felt, but there is a lot of
like research. Part of my wife's doctoral program is the
feeling of safe. It might the school now looks like
a prison, has got surveillance cameras and security guards and
metal detectors and buzz in and buzz out things to
(23:09):
get in and out of the school. It's just like
a jail uniforms. But you do the students feel safer?
Is it actually gonna do it? Either way?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That's his argument.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
They asked him about the mandatory three day weights for
your gun permit, and there's some right now. It's in
a legislator in Florida to be like are we going
to end that? And he's like, I think it should
be instantaneous. It's like there's such thing as the internet
should have to wait three days full. You can run
a background check right here. It doesn't have to take
that long, was his argument. Now, counterpoint could be the
three days is more for the buyer to be like,
(23:39):
do you really need a gun? Like I'm gonna give
you three days to think about it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
But we'll see.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
He thinks that behavioral threat assessments, which is something that
they already do, which essentially is again it's another way
of like a background check. You could do it with
the child, is you run a behavioral threat assessment. Now,
behavioral threat assessment is something that does happen in school psychology.
It is something that again since I worked with inner
city kids and worked in juvenile halls, it is something
(24:07):
that we do kind of look at. You understand a
person's history, understands how volatile they situation is, and their
mental stability, their access to weapons, who they're around, all
this good stuff. And since I'm out of the classroom,
I can't really tell you what it looks like. Now
I've been out the classroom for a while, I can
tell you that, in my experience, the cost benefit analysis
(24:32):
is something that is left wanting to me. I think
there was part of me that was as a teacher
that was like I would get these kids with like
severe autism or actually better yet very light autism, like
somewhere on the spectrum of Aspergers and stuff like that.
There was some times where their parents didn't even want
to tell me that because they said they didn't want
(24:52):
their kids to be treated different. Now I'm talking about
a bunch of different things because and I'm talking about
the state of California.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
There was an IEP.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Which had more to do about a student's individual education thing.
Then there was a five or four plan what had
to do with their behavioral and then there's the threat
assessment thing that we talking about right here. So there's
a lot of different things files they have on our kids.
But so I'm kind of jumping around that ended up
putting me in a very weakened position because I should
(25:25):
treat them differently because they have different needs. So like,
it's almost unfair to your child. I'm about to set
your child up for failure because you don't want me
to treat them, but I should.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I understand what they mean.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
But you're putting both of us at a disadvantage now
because I'm going to trigger something in this child that
is not fair to them. Had I known that that
was a situation, I wouldn't have done that to them.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I would have.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Understood I had a kid who wouldn't let go of
her towel. She had a tow like she had a towel,
and I was like, why is you carrying a put
the towel down. Can we do the work? She's just
like I can't. I was like, baby, you drag in
we're while. I was like, babe, you're dragging a towel,
Like can you You have to pick up your towel.
You're dragging it. Who's walking to the pool? You dragging
(26:08):
a towel? And then I was like, listen, if you
don't pick up this towel, I'm gonna have to carry
it for you because you're just gonna get dirty. She
couldn't pick up a towel. So I was like, baby,
give me the towel. So I took the towel and
I was care of. I was like, I want to
get dirty. She had a meltdown I've never seen in
my life. Yeah, no one told me she's autistic. If
you'd have told me she was, I would have never
(26:28):
taken a fucking towel say something right. So there's a
part of it that's like it helps us all. There's
another part of it, though, that puts a lot of times.
It always breaks this way black and brown boys in
a situation where we're now ear marked as trouble. So
(26:49):
in a scenario where you could be like a Kendrick,
like a good kid in a mad city, or like
myself who just happens to be around all this stuff,
I don't I don't have any of the desired I'm
not I'm not really outside like that. Whereas you you
have another kids, straight a student knows how to shut up,
but it's like a murderer and that and that kid
that's like it's straight a knows how to shut up,
(27:09):
but as a murderer is actually selling ecstasy pills. That's
a white boy, so you don't y'all don't notice his delinquency.
He gets a boys will be boys type situation. We
get a you're you're on your pathway to criminal. So
there's a part of that that sometimes can be very
detrimental to people of color. Now again, like I said,
there's probably better ways to do this. I don't know
(27:31):
how to stop a school shooter. I'm gonna tell you
all right now. I don't know how to stop I don't
know how to stop the ship. And I'm skipping ahead
to Nicki. NICKI made a great argument too. It's like,
I mean, we could ban ar fifteens. But that make
you feel good for a little bit, but there's still
they still don't shoot up the place. And then they
both talked about mental health. Right now, there's a lot
of taki taki muoaitaki taki, but all Rond de Santa
(27:54):
said is we need to do something about mental health.
Nikki had a better answer now concerning Trump, Like I
said before, he was like, yo, basically, don't let the
media fool you into saying that this is a done deal.
Like y'all could really make a case, which is a
great argument about the fact that you have a strange
alliance to losers. And he was like, basically, like yo,
Trump didn't deliver. He said he was going to secure
(28:15):
our borders any again, secure our borders. Borders is just
as poorous as they ever been. He pressed a fentanyl button.
He was like, look, nigga, like fentanyl killing more people
than any of our crime here combined. And he was like,
I'm gonna solve all that shit. He was like, this
birthright citizenship shit is like it's cheating too, And that's
when Prop went, hold up, hold up, okay, now unpacked this.
(28:36):
Let's unpack this fentanyl thing. Okay, number one, let's unpack that.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So they have.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Both of them are on some like catch and deport
rather than catch and release. Right, His answer to solving
is like, I'm gonna deport you immediately. Morally you up,
I'm gonna shoot on site. I'm gonna catch you. And
if you got fittinel on you, yeah, it's up to
which somebody asked him, it's like, Yo, most people come
(29:02):
here with just a backpack of some water. You just
finsa how are you finsa say that? And he was like, look, dude,
it's not like we're really gonna like just shoot on site.
Like it's like it's military. So again he's like, I'm
a strengthen the border, put something, you know, it's all
it's all the same, hits right, he just said it nicer.
But what made me give me pause was this idea
of relooking at the fourteenth Amendment, the birthright citizenship thing. Now,
(29:27):
his little history about that the birthright citizenship situation came
from the dread Scott case. Black folks know this case,
it's about your right as a citizen. This case was
essentially around are black people's citizens once they've been freed?
Because can you once this once this guy, this is
the story. Once once this slave got on a train,
(29:49):
got up out of the South and was living as
a free man.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I'm here, I'm here, like we're done. Like i'm here,
I'm freeman.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Can a slave owner up this man down and bring
him back to this slavery? So the Missouri Compromise, there's
a lot of history. The Missouri Compromise was the idea of, like,
every time we add a new state, this is all
pre Civil War, every time you add a new state
to the Union, you got to add a slave state.
Every time. If there's a free state, there's a slave state.
(30:17):
It had to be equal. That was the Missouri Compromise.
This dude, dread Scott broke free, escaped from slavery, made
it up to a free state. And the idea was,
now that I'm here, nigga, I'm free. I live here.
I signed my little X on the dotted line I'm free.
But they was like, nah, but you my property, nigger, right,
So if I could come get you, if I could
(30:38):
find you, fuck your citizenship, nigga, like you belong to me.
I didn't sign shit. I don't remember signing your freedom papers, nigga,
you still you still mine? And the drag Scott case,
the Supreme Court agreed, are you listening to me? The
Supreme Court agreed that yeah, nah, if he finds you, nah,
you really your original state, you actually belonged to that man,
(31:02):
which meant that the Missouri Compromise didn't mean shit, because
that meant that Saint Louis, which at the time was
a free state or free city in Missouri, you all
rights don't matter, nigga, Like, and they was like wait, wait, wait,
wait no, because he lived here. Nope, no, he don't.
He ours. So the fourteenth Amendment was designed to like
fix that shit, to say a nah, fam you can't
(31:25):
just no, that's not how that worked. If you're born here,
you're a citizen. Because again, the Black Codes un lestally
our lessons here. The Black Codes was right during the reconstruction,
right after the mass spaced Proclamation Thirteenth Amendment, slaves were freed.
What they did to try to stop black people from
voting was because if you're a citizen, you could vote,
(31:46):
and it was like, well, you're eligible to vote if
your granddaddy was free. Well, clearly nobody of African descent
had a free granddad. We were just freed, so it
was trying to so anyway, the fourteenth Amendment was supposed
to fit that, and what DeSantis Are argument is to
use that to cover immigration what they call anchor babies,
(32:08):
meaning if a person comes here illegally and has a child,
does that child get to be a citizen? And it's like,
niggad do they're born here? And he's like, you're using
the fourteenth Amendment in a way that it wasn't meant
to be used. Now, if I were you, I would
know that, Gee, this sounds like a really nice, professionally
(32:29):
packaged way to be incredibly racist towards immigrants.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
But I'm gonna let.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Y'all figure that out, because again, you're smart enough to
make your own decisions.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I'm just saying that's how it sounds to me, because
I'm like, how are you going to decipher that.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
You're gonna say, if your parents are immigrants, or if
your parents are illegal immigrants, but you were born here,
then therefore you don't get to be a citizen because
your parents weren't citizens, then where is that child a
citizen of?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Just anyway, I'm just saying it's.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
A weird legal argument to just try to keep people
you don't like out. That's what it looks like to me.
But he say it so nice again because he polished up.
He don't sound like a bumbling racist like like your
boy Trump.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Would he say it nicer?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Now, as far as education, what he claimed to be
was that Florida was ranked number one in education. Now,
a simple Google would tell you it's Florida ranked number
one in education. Obviously you should understand that that means
a lot of different things. And what Florida is ranked
number one in education in is what is called educational freedom,
(33:40):
which is some made up shit. Okay, Because again, which
state is ranked number one? And ed the first the
first link will tell you which state is number one
in education is Massachusetts has the best ranked public schools
in the United States and the second most educated state,
just behind the District of Columbia. About ninety point four
four percent of Massachusetts adults have high school diplomas and
(34:03):
forty two point nine percent of bachelor's degree or higher.
So whatever the fuck he talking about number one in
is not what he's communicating to y'all.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
So just every politician do it.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
But just know when he say Florida number one education
He mean educational freedom, meaning our white people comfortable.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
N let's just be real with y'all. Now.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Anyway, last thing about the centus is his whole thing
about being the only one that served in the military.
I served in the military. I served our country, so
I know what it's like. I far be it from
me to ever drag a veteran. I just want to
make sure I understood the way y'all thought about it.
So I just put it out on my Instagram and
I googled it. I was like, Okay, he served, how
(34:44):
did he serve? So he deployed with the Seals as
a legal advisor in the Navy, a lieutenant that was
a legal advisor to the Seals, and in Guantanamo Bay.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
A legal advisor. So he was not a Seal. He
was not in common I'm bad.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
He was advising on the legality of their moves.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Now, listen, I'm not a VET. My father is. I'm not.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
I wanted to know does that count? I just you
tell me? So I asked, and most people was like, listen, dude,
I'm gonna summarize what most people said that were actual vets,
that it counts with an asterisk. It counts in the
sense that anybody serves anyboy service, but you were, but
he is a pencil pusher. I don't believe none of
this stolen valorshit like, don't act like you saw if
(35:30):
you if you out here cappin like you saw some heat,
then fuck you. But service is service. So I thought
that that was an interesting thing. Now to me, the
vibe I'm getting from it is he's capping as if
he was really outside. But again, I am not going
to you never know what people went through. I'm not
gonna take away that stuff, that stuff from him. But nigga,
(35:52):
you ain't no, you ain't no John McCaine, my nigga,
like you wasn't a captured pow Cuz, like nigga, you
was looking at a screen and just giving advice.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
I mean, again, it's more than I've done.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I'm just saying it sounds like kap but either way,
and then finally, I already said last thing. But finally,
what I noticed about how he the game he figured
out is he only said woke once like somebody got
in his ear and was like, you gotta stop talking
about this shit if you want to be liked by
more people than this. You got to figure out how
to stop being so you're the anti woke guy. It
(36:23):
sounds like you have one note, especially when you went
after Disney, it was like, what the what are you doing?
Like we talked about the indie artist's guide to running
a campaign is just because some work locally, don't mean
to work nationally. So this is the national stage, nigga.
You gotta stop doing all that like cargo drill, like nigga.
(36:44):
Everybody ain't into that shit. You know, I'm gonna keep
it real nigga. So okay, whatever, somebody got in his
brain and was like, you gotta stop talking all that
woke shit. If you want more people to vote for
you, you gotta start making most sense. He was real polished,
but again, if you paying attention, he gonna do this.
He promising to do the same ship Trump said. He
just actually know how to govern. He's slick enough to
(37:07):
actually get some of this shit done. Now, if that's
your jam, Nigga is out. If that's how you move,
that's your vocus.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Next, Nikki, we're back.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
So Nima Rata, I think I think her Indian name
is though I don't know why she's gonna go by it.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Well, I do know, but anyway, she jump up on
the stage.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Now I wouldn't have made this comment, but my wife
noticed it.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I will defer to her.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
That has to do with anything women's you know, virtue
sig signaling femininity. I would have not commented about her
dress because I thought that's what you weren't supposed to
do that, especially like nobody comment about men's clothes, Like
why are you commenting about women's clothes?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
So I was not gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
But my wife walked in as I was watching this,
and she was just like, are they Republicans?
Speaker 2 (38:24):
I was like yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
She was like she got that fifty style dress on.
She trying to harkenhim back to the She's like, only
conservative women do that. They be trying to harken back
to this like conservative values thing. So they visually dressed themselves,
like you noticed how Hilly Clinton was always in in pantsuits.
She was like, yeah, I'm hark you're harkening back to
something by your auth. I was like, I thought you
weren't supposed to talk about women's clothes. She was like,
(38:47):
I'm making a point about what they communicating I'm like, damn,
I wouldn't have thought of that. I thought Niggis dress
is cute. Yeah, I'm be honest with you, but I
wouldn't go say nothing about it anyway. I forgot to
talk about COVID with the santis. He basically he stands
by his I brought this up out of nowhere because
I'm looking at my notes, basically stands.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
By his record. He was like I did right. I chose.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
He's like, there's only one virus out of a million
viruses that are around in the world. I chose human
connection over the virus. That's your move. That's your move. Now,
Nicki jumps up her musts is basically like she needs
to just she needs to maintain her lead.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
She has this tone of being the adult in the room.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Like I said, she's black thought, she's clearly the greatest
lyricist in the in the batch. Again, this episode's coming soon,
you know, she's and again, like I said, she actually
got plans and she needs to prove that right, So
now she need a de throne.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
The de throne trumps now the.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
First question because it just happened at Iowa was a
school shooting. First day of school somebody got shot up.
What was her answers about that, basically the same when
you talk about mental health, we need to harden locations.
But then what she did different than the same entsis
she explained what harden locations mean.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Damn okay.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Then after that she was like, these are my plans
for mental health. She was like, we don't have enough
crisis centers. She was like, we don't need it. We
don't have enough addiction centers. She was like, a lot
of that stuff comes from addiction. When you can't get
the help you get, you start leading the drugs. When
you don't get the drugs you need, you start turning
into violence. She was like, we need addiction centers, right,
And she goes, and even if that, even if you
in both of those situations, not like your insurance covers it,
(40:26):
damn nigga facts. And I'm like, okay, so you're going
to make sure our insurance covers it. She ain't respond
to that though, but still, I mean, you the first
Republican I heard actually had an idea about those things.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
There's that. Next they asked her about Trump, and she
said the same thing.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
She was like, look, I like it, it's just and again,
this weird dance they got to do around him. She
was like, look, man, I believe he was the right
guy for that time, but the reality is chaos follows it.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Good answer.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
And then she was like, and strategically, we don't know
if he can be Biden. It's like this, it's a
nail her. She's like, in every poll we reading, I
can beat him by I could be biting by at
least fifteen points.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Again, like we said earlier, do you trust polls? I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
And she could also say some stuff that we can't verify.
But she could say like, look, dude, I was the
one telling Trump like, bro, you' finna be your worst enemy.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
I don't agree with all the moves you making.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
And she has some track records where she kind of
differed from what he wanted this nigga.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
And here's where you got to stand. Put your antennas on.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
She was like, and the last thing about this nigga
is like he'd he'd just be closing up to dictators.
I don't understand why he liked dictators so much. That's
not good for us. Food is fool's Like you're congratulating
Putin for his strength, like I don't understand you're out
there complimenting jijingping out there in China after China gave
us COVID, to which the record scratched.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
For me, I was like, China gave us COVID. That's out.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh again, slide slide that shit in y'all. Y'all caught
that China gave us COVID. That's a weird way to
talk about the spread of a SARS coronavirus, that China
gave it to us. My nigga, like, you understand, that
could have happened anywhere, but she don't really fuck with China,
which comes clearer later She revealed her cars there. That's
(42:11):
why I was like, let them talk, because you won't
let them talk because you gonna hear what they really think.
And it's really weird for a woman of color, for
a brown woman to say something like that. At least
that's what I think. But either way, that's what happened.
As far as the borders, same thing, more agents she
wanted to do to remain in Mexico situation. She's like, look,
just don't even come here. Process of in Mexico. She
(42:33):
want to do the same thing, catching deport she was
talking about illegal immigration.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
She was like, but no, that's what she's all about.
I legal.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
She's like with elite, with legal immigration. Here's something interesting
about her. Or she's a child of immigrants. She's like, Yo,
speed up the process. It's absurd, Like it shouldn't take
fifteen years now for me that actually resonates because of
my in laws.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
It took a niggas fifteen years. Do everything right, you
know what you mean? Tell me? If I do everything right,
this could happen.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
She also believes in not quotas but merit based immigration,
basically meaning what are the jobs we need here?
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Can you do that? Okay?
Speaker 1 (43:08):
You can get in, which gets really gnarly probably in
ways you haven't really considered because if you say that,
if you're like, okay, look we need more agricultural workers,
all right, you down to work the fields, okay, come
through like you're just it's you. I mean, guys, it's Marxist,
Like whether you know that's what's funny about that. It's like,
(43:31):
that's guys, that's Marxist. Did she say, no, what does
our economy need? It needs workers in this field and
needs workers in this field, so we get those are
it's Marxist anyway. Then they asked her about Governor Abbott
in Texas about putting people in buses. She like, I'm
with all that. You said you was a sanctuary city.
I don't see what the problem is and you canna
(43:52):
take them then?
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Interesting? Interesting, but that's what you feel, you know, it
is what it is.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
They asked her about the economy, which I'm gonna do
a whole other episode on two, which really in as
far as the numbers are concerned, maybe not the vibe,
but the numbers are concerned. Economy is great, which is weird.
I get it, but I'm gonna talk about that later. Yeah,
the economy is great. It's like, I don't get it.
But average home buyers forty nine, She was like, the
(44:22):
American dream's gone, you know. She talked about that American
dream stuff. She was like, Yo, we got to lower
these interest rates, you know. And then she talked about
how she was like, as a government, we spend way
too much. Like we just spend too much. You gotta
cut the credit card. She was like, go after this
mad COVID fraud. Eliminade earmarks, take big old federal programs,
make them state they shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Why we gotta pay for it?
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Then the big one came that I was waiting, and
it was the slavery issue, the rebel flag issue, because
you may or may not know, the Dillian Roof situation
happened in her state, and the Queen Mother, Breknewsom was
the woman that climbed up and took flag down from
the state building. So she talked about her upbringing and
(45:04):
she answered it, and she answered it thoroughly. She talked
about her upbringing and it's such a dance to play
with these Republicans. She talked about her upbringing being an
Indian American family inside of South Carolina, which I cannot
imagine the thing.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
And she admitted that she experienced racism.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
She said it very fast, and she was like, we
had black friends, we had white friends. You would hear,
you know, this narrative that racism was real. Again, somebody
put her in the gym. You can't act like racism
are real. You still a brown woman running for president.
You cannot act like racism are real.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
And she did it.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
She was like, yeah, you know, of course I experienced
racism growing up. You know what I'm saying. And she
was like of course, you know, I didn't experience slavery,
but the legacy of slavery is around all the time.
She was like, she even said white supremacists. She let
the word come out of her mouth. To her credit,
now here's where propsa antenna's pop up. She said that
(45:57):
when she would come home after experiencing racism, her or
mom would say, hey, you know, your job isn't to
show them how you're different, but to show them how
you're similar, which sounds so beautiful. If you're talking to
Republicans who just want to go back to brunch and
act like there isn't a problem with race.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
We aren't we all the same, show them that we're similar.
We're much more alike than we are different. I get it.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I mean that's a good line to have, but it's
also assimilation. It's not just show them how they're similar,
it's become similar. And as a very fine line between
that is you start falling a line with the dominant
culture because it saves you from being other rising. There
(46:45):
are certain things about you you can't You always had
as skin color. Ain't nothing going to change that. You
always eat the food you eat. But what you can
do is go by Niki instead of the Marada. Show
them how you similar. And for me, that made me think,
that's how.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
You became a Republican governor.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
That's how you was able to survive in the Trump
White House was because you was willing to show them
how you were similar and become as similar as you
possibly can.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Listen, it sounds good. Now, this is me reading into that.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
I'm just saying, as a person of color, when I
hear stuff like that, that's stuff I think about. I agree,
we do have a lot in common, but it ain't
my job to show you how much we got in common.
It's my job to be myself. It's my job to
bring my uniqueness to this table. But that's just that's
what do I know. So then she talked about how
she after the Dillion Roof shooting, you know, in the
(47:43):
Charleston nine. She talked about after all that happened, how
she brought different community, faith, and business and law enforcement
leaders into a room and she was like, look, dude,
I'm a call for that coming down, and I know
everybody ain't gonna like it, but we're gonna take that
rebel flag down. That's when I was like, Okay, you're
doing some renew sim erasure. But to your credit, you
did make it happen. Well, you didn't make it happen.
(48:03):
You were made to make it happen. I don't know
if you was going to do it, May, And I'm
glad you did. I'm glad because you are. You were
the governor. You could have stopped it, but you did.
You're read the tea leaves good for you. And the
rebel flag came down from in front of the courthouse
or the yeah, the courthouse in South Carolina, but you
walked into that building for years. She said she would
(48:23):
be down to part in Trump and why she would
be down to part in Trump because she was just like,
it's just like it's kind of like the Knickson thing,
like we just need to be on with it. Do
it really due to country? Any good to have an
eighty year old man sitting in jail? And she was like,
a pardon means he was found guilty, So he'dn't already
been found guilty. Like if we're at pardoning, what good
does it do to have him sit in jail? Like
(48:44):
you forget it, Doug, Like he's eighty something, he's not
the president. He's like, in this scenario you're giving, she's
the president heatn lost, he's been found guilty. We just
need to move on, Like this is not going to
help us as a country, fine unity by just having
this man sitting in jail.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
That's her argument.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
Do you think that the country is ready for the
president to be a woman? According to her, she's like, Ah,
we've been ready, we just needed.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
The right woman. Sure, not sure I agree, but sure.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
Then they started talking about her foreign policy, which she
started going in on China. And then once she started
going in on China, she was like, look, them niggas
are not our competition.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
They are our enemy.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
And then she leaned into all the scare tactics that
China been doing. Right, they done bought acres of land,
they done stole our secrets, which they have done both
of those things. They got five hundred nukes and we
still trying to sell them stuff. Them niggas is trying
to wipe us out. Then she talked about this unholy
alliance going way back to the eighties. She was just
like China, Russia, and Iran all up on that, like
(49:46):
you know, old school like military hawk eighties pre Trump
Republican where it's like, nigga, we shoot. She talked like that.
They was like, yo, you really talk like that old
school like hawk thing. Remember, like the Republican Party has
become more like isolationists, you know she owd school. She like, listen,
the best way to secure peace is to make sure
a motherfucker is so scared of us that them niggas
(50:09):
will not do shit when we're around.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
That's her stance about.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
She's like, why we need to make sure Ukraine wins
is because nigga Ukraine, because Russia already said after we
take Ukraine, we going to Poland. That's a NATO nation.
They go to Poland, we gotta go. So we need
to make sure Ukraine wins, so we ain't gotta go
over there. We need to make sure China so the
fuck scared of us that we ain't got on. So
she was like, I'm being a hawk for the purpose
(50:33):
of peace. I mean sound like gangbanging to me anyway.
That's the type of stuff she talked about. Then they
talked about like how you're gonna get us to move on.
She was like, look, I got some plans. This is
how we're gonna drain the swamp.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
This is what I did. This what I did back
in the state.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
I looked at every committee, every little program we had.
I fired all the leaders. I was like, everybody got it,
We're gon, we're gonna shake it up. Everybody gone, let's
get new leadership and all of them. We're gonna do
an autopsy on every one of these things. I mean,
we're gonna do deep analysis. Cut the money quit. You know,
if we got people that are just like bad apples
inside of that thing, like Nigga, fire on people that's
(51:07):
just if this ship that don't that don't make no
money for us, let them go. She was like, I'm
gonna replace all the heads of these agencies. I'm gonna
get rid of problem children, because that's what I did
back home. So when she talked about draining the swamp,
didn't she received She like, this how I did.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
And that's what they own now.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
Final takeaways. I think they both shined. I think they
both was in the gym and did their homework. They
both took the show to Trump. They should have taken it,
is my opinion. I think they weakness is it's still
the same shit. You're still left with the choice of
either the Trump Republican or the Bush Republican. Either you're
(52:13):
finna be in a million wards under Nikki Haley, or
it's gonna be a horrible place for a person of color,
is my takeaway. Or you got four years of chaos
from Trump. But either way, even the fact that we're
discussing this means you have a natural alliance to losers,
and that is not like hood politics, y'all, y'as
