Speaker 1 (00:02):
Cool media. Okay, I have thoughts. Now somebody finally said
something that made sense and it isn't actual I guess
by definition conspiracy theory. Now I never do this, especially
(00:22):
on the show, because why you know what I'm saying, Like,
that's stupid. I also have a fraud relationship with conspiracy
theories because some of them don't be theories, they be
what happened. But since some be true, it'd be making
the ones that are clearly outlandish pretend like they own
(00:46):
the same playing field as the ones that actually exist,
and then you can't defend it. Some are funny shout
out my mama told me Langston and cool guy jokes.
I love them. Do man them to the funniest dude,
those are the funniest follows. Langston is the funny. His
(01:06):
whatever he's done to his algorithm to create the Explore
page for him to find the stories this man posts
is something is not right anyway. So in the spirit
of your boy is incredibly tired, and my nervous system
(01:28):
I'm not sure can handle much more doom and gloom.
I think I'm gonna allow my imagination to run with
this one. So if you don't want to hear that.
That's cool. Just turn the sound down and let the
video and or podcast play so I can get them
plays or walk with me. All right, let me cook politics, y'all.
(02:06):
All right, So first disclaimer is this disclaimer as I
lay out what I think really going on with this
Epstein thing. My first disclaimer is the fact that my view,
I think I've said this before, my view about conspiracy
theories are, to me, the more elegant and the more
(02:27):
obvious the better. When you start adding too many people
in there. I think I said this last week. You
add too many people. It's too many people. You gotta
keep happy, and people don't be keeping secrets, you know
what I'm saying, Like, nobody really lived by the code.
Now I'm gonna tell you this. There I have stories
I'm gonna take to the grave. But that's because I
(02:49):
grew up the way I grew up. Now there's other
stuff that I was like, Nigga, just don't tell me
because I don't want nobody to ever ask me this
question because I don't plan on singing. But I know
here's a good example of this. This is a tangent,
but here's a good example over in my neighborhood. I
was on the way home and I was I'm not
(03:11):
gonna say specifically this because I ain't that much, but
there's a cross section by my house that I know
is probably the borderlands between two different gangs. And essentially
I witnessed the drive by. I saw the dude hop
out and pop the guy. I looked the dude in
his eyes. He was wearing a shisty, but I still
(03:31):
looked him in the eyes. Now, since I'm not a teenager,
I'm a grown man paying a mortgage. When you kids,
you don't call the cops. I'm a grown up saying,
and now I don't know the guy. I didn't see
the license plate. I'm just like, hey, there's a dead
body over there, like Joe said, so y'all come get this,
(03:55):
y'all come get this. Poe man, I don't know what happened.
I ain't see the car, but it's on this corner.
So what I'm saying is there are certain things that
I know I'm gonna take to the grave, But now
that I'm a grown up, there's some other code that
I'm like, look, no, you chilling, I'm chilling. I'm a
grown man now, I got children. Anyway. The point I
(04:18):
was trying to make about conspiracy theories is once it
gets too weird, it's usually you usually lost. And once
you got to add too many people and it does
too many things, this think all the way goes all
the way to the top. No, again, the most obvious
is the one, right. A perfect example would be, listen,
the tobacco industry. We're conspiring together to hide the information
(04:45):
and suppress the scientific knowledge about what tobacco does to
the body. They were paying off people, And yes, that
is a conspiracy because these companies conspired right to do
this thing. Is the oil industry conspiring to so doubt
within climate change about fossil fuels? Yes they are. Why
(05:09):
do I because duh? Why would they not do that? Now?
Are we trying to control weather? Yes, there's such things
as seeding clouds. Now do the Democrats have a Jewish
laser that shoots to the sky? What the what are
you talking about? Okay? The conspiracy I found is usually
(05:33):
the most obvious one. Were the FBI trying to stop
the black Panthers? Of course they are. Would they put
an undercover agent in there? Why would they not do that?
Was there a conspiracy to stop the Black Messiah aka
Fred Hampton. Of course there was. So those are obvious
(05:54):
things that I'm like, I'm with that. Now you start
talking about Pizzagate. Come on, gee. Now that being said,
let me get into the what I do, what I
thinks about it. Now here's I'm gonna get into it.
(06:36):
I ran the wrong episode last Friday, which was my fault,
which was entitled Trump is the worst Phase Partner Ever.
It was supposed to be when you listen to the content,
the scot has played the wrong domino right. So what
I was trying to say, and the point I'm trying
to make about that, and you'll hear it in two
(06:56):
fridays from now. The point I'm trying to make about
that is strategy. Okay, when you play a game that
requires strategy, a lot of times people that don't understand
the strategy the first few times they play be winning
because it's willy nilly, because it's unpredictable. They out there
freestyling and sometimes you be landed. It's very frustrating though,
(07:19):
Like if you've ever played dominoes with somebody that don't
really know how to play dominoes, they don't understand the strategies.
They're not counting the bones they don't know. They're not
trying to lock the game. They're not doing all this
stuff that if you were playing with somebody who knew
how to play. I know how to play defense with you,
but you just like you all over the board, and
sometimes they be scoring. It be frustrating because they're just like, ooh,
(07:42):
look I am good, and it's like, well, no you're not.
You're not good. W just beat you because I just
talked to you out to play. Are you playing? You
got a spades partner, right? I have a confession to
make about that, which I'll talk later. And that other
show is I am not that good at spades. I
need a reminder every time we sit down and play Dominologists.
But spades begetting me anyway. I believe this is Trump's
(08:06):
political strategy. He's a he go by vibes. I think
he has ideas. Like he said, he ain't got plans.
He got ideas. I think this might work, but is
there a long game strategy. The long game strategy for
him is win. I don't think he got like a
real ethos other than I'm trying to be the boss
(08:27):
I don't think he gets into the weeds on how
shit happens because he used to be in a boss.
He just go tell he tell a nerd to go
do it. This is what I want. I want just
to go down. Now, y'all gonna make it go down.
I need to have Steve File's go away. I'll do
my part. My part is spinning the story. I think
he just I think it's like people used to always say,
(08:49):
you just want to be the last person in the
room with him, because the last person in the room
with him convincing to do stuff. I think he know
what he don't like. He don't like people disagree with him.
So he fired everybody that he thinks enemy like. That's
I'm not a He just doing what he doing what
he feels like. It's no so, this is so. This
is why it's been so hard to predict him. It's
(09:09):
because you trying to think, you trying to find an ethos.
You're trying to find a through line, and it ain't
one of the ones that you understand. It's just his
through line is him. There's no strategy other than win
and how you win. Remember, because he believed in zero
some games. This man con artists this, I just need
to get well, I just need to get mine, So
I'm gonna take yours. That's it. And how you get
(09:33):
yours is leverage on other people. That's how you play
the game. Maybe that's his Maybe that's his only strategy.
It's just leverage. But that's what I mean. When you
playing with somebody who really don't know how to play,
they just I just need to get more points than you.
They slam it. They slam down that big ten on
the opening, not knowing that I got a five blank
(09:55):
and then a blank blank. So I'm about to get
a gang of points off you because you don't understand
a strategy. You're just like ten points. You know what
I'm saying. Hugh has here is to hear anyway, But
trying to get my head around why this is such
a big deal for this man, because it's not at
all a secret that he's a scumbag when it comes
(10:18):
to the girls. Everybody knows that, which is why it's
so hypocritical and contradiction to see the evangelical people. Just
man got six kids with four baby mamas. One of
them we know, we know two of its side pieces.
(10:40):
They porn stars. He's already been found guilty. There's already
videos to grab him by the pussy, my nigga, y'all
knew who it was, which to me makes me go, okay,
it's already videos. Everybody know him and Epstein's homies. Everybody
know Trump like them girls, like, we all know this already.
(11:03):
I don't understand what he got to hide. It's like
unless he really got something to hide, because if it
was one of the normal situations, he would be like, yeah, dude,
that was the hummy. Yeah we partied. It was the eighties.
I told y'all wasn't a boy scout. He ran the thing.
(11:26):
Can we move on? Like just yeah, let the papers go.
You ain't y don't see nothing you don't already know.
He usually able to swat everything down teflon Dahn, but like,
but this one got him shook. And the way that
he moving got me to thinking that, like, okay, something
else going on here. Even the way he talking, it
(11:47):
sounded like he priming the pump for what might come
out because he already he planning to see Just like
when he knew he was finna lose to Hillary Clinton,
he was like, if I lose his rigged you priming
the pump already you don't what I'm saying, Like you
already know, like I'm probably gonna lose this. You feel me,
So you start saying, oh, they cheated before the thing over.
So he like, look, oh no, listen the Russian hoaks
(12:10):
that this people always lying. It went from I got
the files, I'm gonna release the files, to the files
don't really say nothing. To the files was made by
everybody I don't like, and they be lying. So I
got them, but I don't got them. They really don't
say nothing. But what they say are the things that
(12:33):
Obama and all my enemies said. I'm like, nigga, you
are scrambling like what like, why is you scrambling like that?
What is the big deal? Now? This was the conundrum
(13:15):
to me. Now comes my tenfoil time. Y'all heard of
Matt lay. He has a stream on Twitch called Left
Reckoning and they have a majority report and Homie unlocked
so much for me when he suggested this, where I
was like, that's the one I believe. Okay, about to
(13:39):
lay this out for you, put a little sauce on
the tacos. But Matt bro you got me thinking, dude,
this is the one that makes the most sense to me.
So let's lay the long play on the table, Like
why would these billionaires who are undoubtedly smarter than Donald Trump?
(14:03):
Why would all these politicians? Why would all these tech
bros be willing to Let's be real, these people have ethos.
These people read. You know you smarter than him, right,
you know he just a brand, but he don't convince
the people. Listen if you Peter Till, I don't understand
(14:25):
why any of them dudes do podcasts because you don't matter.
What do you care? Sam Malte, what do you care
that the public think about you? You own islands? My nigga? Like,
why you don't have to talk to the people. These
people ain't gotta like you, but they be on there talking,
(14:48):
they talk, So I'm thinking, I get it. You want
to be you want to be next to power, but
it ain't because you need the people to file you.
I don't understand what Mark Zucker, But why why do
y'all care unless there's something you're trying to get from him? Right?
(15:09):
But you smarter than him, So you understand that you
can't just go to this person because you negotiate it,
just like he negotiator. You can't just go to this
person without nothing in your pocket, right, just in case
he start acting up, just the case he start acting funny,
start feeling froggy. Right, you can't do that unless that
so you got to play it cool until you get
(15:31):
what you want, because you already know what he wants.
He won't the code sign. You know what I'm saying.
He want to keep looking like a boss. He trying
to because he want to be It's almost like, oh,
you want to be famous. That's it seems like that's
like so if you I understand that you want to
be famous, you want to run around with the big dog. Okay,
I can put you on it, y'a. I mean you
got your own yah, y'all, I understand that. But like
you want to be you want to be an oligarch.
I get it. You're trying to be royal. She understand
(15:55):
what that man wants. Like, okay, where I'll give you that. Yeah,
we'll all kiss your rings. Cool game Thrones with kiss
your you volunteer you like, I just got a like
a trillion dollar contract. You just made me the head
of the military. I love it. You elon listen. Obviously
you got the ev thing. But you know growk is
(16:15):
now the AI for the military, they got the contract
for it. He got what he wanted. The billionaires, the
titans of industry, you know what they got. They got
their tax breaks. They already got that. They got it
the taxi you just cemented it. Twenty seventeen taxs, you
just cemented it. So they got their tax breaks. The
(16:37):
billionaires got their content. Do you know, the tech bros
got their contracts. The right wing, the conservatives, they got
their judges. You ended Roe v. Wade, right, you ended
Chevron defference. Now this is where the politician and the
billionaire works together, because you remember what I told you
what Chevron defference was. That means that like government organizations
(17:02):
that are put together by the Congress, who get to
do oversight over whether you polluting the earth or not,
or whether you following the regulations or not. When there's
a law that's ambiguous, the Supreme Court don't listen to
them no more. They don't have to listen to them
no more. Me as a business I get to say, no,
we're good. Why are you listening to them? They're not experts.
(17:24):
You don't remove the regulations. So we done got regulations ended.
Hell do you understand he ended the regulation on xpestos,
You know, the mesothelioma folks, that's gone. You removing that. Okay,
you done lower everybody's taxes. They got all the judges,
(17:48):
the big beautiful building, gay, these military contracts, billions of dogs.
You get to play toy soldier. Hey, listen, if you
run a business and you really think they really you
really think these owners of businesses are that racist, that
they hate Mexicans that much, they hate Latinos that much,
or they could buy a machine that could do the
(18:11):
work of ten immigrants. Maybe that's what they're doing. You
think they're gonna hire Americans. You think they're gonna go
get them white boys and go come out there and
pick these fen Them white boys ain't gonna come pick them,
pick them farms. They're gonna buy machines. It's tech Like,
I don't what is y'all? Why would we want factories?
(18:32):
And if we got factories, why are y'all not thinking this?
If we get factories, they gonna be automated. Is you
not like when the last time you went to a
grocery store and didn't check your own groceries out. This
why I'm trying to like how many times you called
(18:53):
the call center and tried to hit zero a trillion
times to speak to a representative? You dancing in a loop?
He not making jobs like what? Like this? Like I said,
sometimes conspiracies be obvious to me. It be the most
simple one. I'm building a factory and it's gonna be automated.
(19:16):
I ain't gonna have no stab except for a few
people sit behind a computer, like don't you Why would
I raise my overhead by hiring Americans that don't make
no sense. They don't even know how to do the job.
C CC. We from the forties, we decided we was
gonna build our economy on business. China decided we're gonna
(19:45):
build our economy on manufacturing because businesses need products. We thought.
We started to teach our kids. That's what happened with
all the trades. Why we ain't got no trade schools
like we used. Why we don't respect the trades because
we started teaching. As the American thing, you supposed to
own your own business, You supposed to you supposed to
go to school, go to business school, get to get
(20:07):
the imaginary money, the stocks, the bonds. You supposed to
you supposed to lead, you supposed to own the business.
You let the nerds run it, and you let the unsmart.
The dummies. They the ones that go work in the
coal mines. Theyta ones that go clean your plumbing. You
look down at that plumber making six figures, you feel me.
But that plumber tell you how much? That plumber tell
(20:29):
you how much your plumbing costs. You want to build,
You want to own your big, beautiful building. You know
what I'm saying. That contractor coming there and say, hey,
it's gonna cost you thirty three million g jo. I'm
saying that contractor living right that architect, that architect, the
one that drew up your drawings, one that drew that
mug up. Oh oh, you know where he lived. He
(20:55):
lived in Park City, Utah. You feel me. He living good,
He living right up there with them rist folk, but
you're judging him. China was different, trying to said we're
just gonna we're gonna be the factory for the world.
Y'all don't want it, we'll do it, and we kind
of like, we kind of ate that one. So we're
(21:19):
gonna bring him back. Not so your uncle Mark could
get a job. No, don't you just see what all
the tech bros just did. Your uncle Mark still ain't
gonna get no job. It's going like this, This nigga
was never thinking about you. Again. This is my conspiracy.
(22:22):
I'm building up to my conspiracy theory. So what Matt
said made perfect sense to me. Matt said, these people
already got what they want from it. Now we don't
owe you shit. So the theory is we all know,
everybody know you in the files. Trump niggas have known
this the whole time. That was the ace they had
in their pocket this whole time. And I think this
(22:44):
Wall Street Journal thing is the beginning. It was like, okay,
you still fucking up the tariffs. I see, I see
you doing this tariff thing. And you know what, I
think we need to remind this nigga who really in charge.
We've been been playing this game with you, letting you
believe that you really run this country. Okay, you started
(23:06):
fucking with the stock market and it was cool because
it was a money grab. We all good. Now, I
see what you was doing there, but you need to
stop playing around with these tariffs. Not only that you're
you're supporting a genocide. It's kind of obvious they're starving.
(23:27):
It's not that these people have a soul, it's that, Hey,
that's bad for business. Niggas is losing trust in us.
You said you was gonna come in here and end
them wars because wars are bad for business. My nigga,
you made it worse, potin whooping your ass. Whooping your ass, right,
(23:51):
So I think these titans and business Listen, why they
didn't come to him during the twenty twenty of your elections.
You on your own twin why these people ain't they
look because they got what they wanted already. I don't
need to fight for you no more. Hey, bro, you
(24:11):
gotta figure this shit out. Won't want no part of
this at sting shit because we know what's in there,
and you know what's in there. That's why you're so scared.
You trying to leak little pieces that we all understand.
But my nigga, we know, and this is what you're
gonna do. You're gonna go fix my tariffs. And guess
what just happened. He just came back from Scotland and
(24:34):
apparently he got a trade deal going with the EU.
Now it's not official, but hey, fifteen percent on American
American tariffs. Feel me. We get free trade, we don't
have to pay no tariffs to DEU. You get access
to our tech, we get access to your tech. Everything cool.
(24:59):
So in my mind, the big that's the billionaire class
yanking at leash a little bit like, Hey, little hommy,
I don't want you to ever forget who put you on.
We let you talk big on the television. Nigga. We
know little Wall Street Journal thing leak out. Rupert Murdock
(25:20):
obviously can't stand this, nigga. And this is what happens
with fascism. Fascism make you paranoid. You don't trust nobody.
Because if if I was Trump, I'd be looking at
oh jd Vance a little sideways because I tell you what,
two days before the Wall Street Journal thing came out
about Donald Trump's little doodle drawing. Jd Vance went to
(25:43):
go visit this nigga. Listen, you think you think ambition stops,
You think not. You think none of them are gunning
for that man? You like none of them. Margie Taylor
green On some like, hey, Homie, I don't understand. And
this Epstein thing. You them fucked up twice with me,
(26:04):
you fucked up with Iran, now you fucked up with
this Epstein thing. Her weird ass is like, listen, this ain't.
This ain't We ain't signed up for this. So here's
what I think. I think they know exactly, and I
think Trump know that they know, and they just been
holding it in they pocket the whole time, whenever he
started feeling froggy. That's my conspiracy theory is you can't
(26:29):
moon walk out of this because we know what's in it,
and we'll slow leak the shit every time you start
getting out of pocket. And I think this might just
be the beginning. Now what do I know, But it
kind of feel like since remember, like I said, Trump
(26:51):
ain't got no long game. He just playing the domino
that's in his hand. He don't know how to like
y'all keep calling this man five D chick. No, this
is like when you playing spades with somebody ain't never
played before. They understand the rules in general, but every
once in a while they got some in their hand
in this house that they play that it starts gassing
(27:13):
him up in a way to think that like it's
always going to be like that. It's like a street baller.
Like how many more comparisons, Like if you've only played
at the Venice Beach courts and then you try to
play organized ball, you try to play in a league,
it's different. Oh, it worked out there playing streetball. You
in the league. Now you got to run a play.
(27:37):
We know his play. He know he know business stuff.
But he even said, I'll be going by vibe. He
creates reality, that's what he said. You say it long enough,
it becomes true. He's trying to create a reality. That
shit don't work every time. Like we said last week,
you ain't really You ain't really know your crowd at
(27:59):
the end of the day. If there is anything that
I believe all of America's intersections have in common, if
there's anything I think that unites us, it's that we believe.
(28:20):
God dang it, we know the rich and powerful get
away with murder. Y'all take care of yourselves. You only
think about yourself. The government is not looking out for us.
The wealth gap is getting greater and greater, and it
(28:44):
feels very on purpose. You do not have our best
interests in mine. And what Donald Trump did was he
got on the screen and said, everything you think is
true is true. I know because I be there. You right,
these people do not have your best interest in mine.
(29:04):
And I'm gonna come in there and I'm gonna defend
your rights. But sir, everybody, put your thinking caps on.
Why do you think they let him in the room.
Could it be because he's one of them? Probably because
(29:30):
he's one of them. So when you had a chance
to finally do the thing that they really wanted, Let's
set aside to racism. Let's set aside the ozark Arkansas,
white's only city of it all, which exists. I can't
believe this is really happening now in the year of
(29:51):
our Lord twenty twenty five, that exists. Set that aside
for a second. The one thing, let me tell something,
this is what the people wanted from Donald Trump. Take
down our rules, the people that are making our life miserable.
(30:16):
Take them down. You are supposed to go in there
and destroy the oligarchy, and you had it in your hands.
And it's almost like he forgot. Did He's like, oh shit, wait,
I've been pretending like I'm one of the people so long.
(30:38):
I forgot that I'm not niggas don't trust you didn't
do your homework. Fan. My conspiracy theory is they gonna
keep this billionaire class already got what they wanted from you.
They finna turn on your home me. Is it gonna
(31:01):
break my guy? I don't know. I just think they
already got what they wanted. What else? What else can
you offer them? I don't know. So that's my episode.
I'm phoning it in this week, like I said, because
I am tired and I kind of just want to
(31:23):
put the rest of this topic. Y'all forgive me the
hood politics? All right? Now, don't you hit stop on

Cool media. Okay, I have thoughts. Now somebody finally said
something that made sense and it isn't actual I guess
by definition conspiracy theory. Now I never do this, especially
(00:22):
on the show, because why you know what I'm saying, Like,
that's stupid. I also have a fraud relationship with conspiracy
theories because some of them don't be theories, they be
what happened. But since some be true, it'd be making
the ones that are clearly outlandish pretend like they own
(00:46):
the same playing field as the ones that actually exist,
and then you can't defend it. Some are funny shout
out my mama told me Langston and cool guy jokes.
I love them. Do man them to the funniest dude,
those are the funniest follows. Langston is the funny. His
(01:06):
whatever he's done to his algorithm to create the Explore
page for him to find the stories this man posts
is something is not right anyway. So in the spirit
of your boy is incredibly tired, and my nervous system
(01:28):
I'm not sure can handle much more doom and gloom.
I think I'm gonna allow my imagination to run with
this one. So if you don't want to hear that.
That's cool. Just turn the sound down and let the
video and or podcast play so I can get them
plays or walk with me. All right, let me cook politics, y'all.
(02:06):
All right, So first disclaimer is this disclaimer as I
lay out what I think really going on with this
Epstein thing. My first disclaimer is the fact that my view,
I think I've said this before, my view about conspiracy
theories are, to me, the more elegant and the more
(02:27):
obvious the better. When you start adding too many people
in there. I think I said this last week. You
add too many people. It's too many people. You gotta
keep happy, and people don't be keeping secrets, you know
what I'm saying, Like, nobody really lived by the code.
Now I'm gonna tell you this. There I have stories
I'm gonna take to the grave. But that's because I
(02:49):
grew up the way I grew up. Now there's other
stuff that I was like, Nigga, just don't tell me
because I don't want nobody to ever ask me this
question because I don't plan on singing. But I know
here's a good example of this. This is a tangent,
but here's a good example over in my neighborhood. I
was on the way home and I was I'm not
(03:11):
gonna say specifically this because I ain't that much, but
there's a cross section by my house that I know
is probably the borderlands between two different gangs. And essentially
I witnessed the drive by. I saw the dude hop
out and pop the guy. I looked the dude in
his eyes. He was wearing a shisty, but I still
(03:31):
looked him in the eyes. Now, since I'm not a teenager,
I'm a grown man paying a mortgage. When you kids,
you don't call the cops. I'm a grown up saying,
and now I don't know the guy. I didn't see
the license plate. I'm just like, hey, there's a dead
body over there, like Joe said, so y'all come get this,
(03:55):
y'all come get this. Poe man, I don't know what happened.
I ain't see the car, but it's on this corner.
So what I'm saying is there are certain things that
I know I'm gonna take to the grave, But now
that I'm a grown up, there's some other code that
I'm like, look, no, you chilling, I'm chilling. I'm a
grown man now, I got children. Anyway. The point I
(04:18):
was trying to make about conspiracy theories is once it
gets too weird, it's usually you usually lost. And once
you got to add too many people and it does
too many things, this think all the way goes all
the way to the top. No, again, the most obvious
is the one, right. A perfect example would be, listen,
the tobacco industry. We're conspiring together to hide the information
(04:45):
and suppress the scientific knowledge about what tobacco does to
the body. They were paying off people, And yes, that
is a conspiracy because these companies conspired right to do
this thing. Is the oil industry conspiring to so doubt
within climate change about fossil fuels? Yes they are. Why
(05:09):
do I because duh? Why would they not do that? Now?
Are we trying to control weather? Yes, there's such things
as seeding clouds. Now do the Democrats have a Jewish
laser that shoots to the sky? What the what are
you talking about? Okay? The conspiracy I found is usually
(05:33):
the most obvious one. Were the FBI trying to stop
the black Panthers? Of course they are. Would they put
an undercover agent in there? Why would they not do that?
Was there a conspiracy to stop the Black Messiah aka
Fred Hampton. Of course there was. So those are obvious
(05:54):
things that I'm like, I'm with that. Now you start
talking about Pizzagate. Come on, gee. Now that being said,
let me get into the what I do, what I
thinks about it. Now here's I'm gonna get into it.
(06:36):
I ran the wrong episode last Friday, which was my fault,
which was entitled Trump is the worst Phase Partner Ever.
It was supposed to be when you listen to the content,
the scot has played the wrong domino right. So what
I was trying to say, and the point I'm trying
to make about that, and you'll hear it in two
(06:56):
fridays from now. The point I'm trying to make about
that is strategy. Okay, when you play a game that
requires strategy, a lot of times people that don't understand
the strategy the first few times they play be winning
because it's willy nilly, because it's unpredictable. They out there
freestyling and sometimes you be landed. It's very frustrating though,
(07:19):
Like if you've ever played dominoes with somebody that don't
really know how to play dominoes, they don't understand the strategies.
They're not counting the bones they don't know. They're not
trying to lock the game. They're not doing all this
stuff that if you were playing with somebody who knew
how to play. I know how to play defense with you,
but you just like you all over the board, and
sometimes they be scoring. It be frustrating because they're just like, ooh,
(07:42):
look I am good, and it's like, well, no you're not.
You're not good. W just beat you because I just
talked to you out to play. Are you playing? You
got a spades partner, right? I have a confession to
make about that, which I'll talk later. And that other
show is I am not that good at spades. I
need a reminder every time we sit down and play Dominologists.
But spades begetting me anyway. I believe this is Trump's
(08:06):
political strategy. He's a he go by vibes. I think
he has ideas. Like he said, he ain't got plans.
He got ideas. I think this might work, but is
there a long game strategy. The long game strategy for
him is win. I don't think he got like a
real ethos other than I'm trying to be the boss
(08:27):
I don't think he gets into the weeds on how
shit happens because he used to be in a boss.
He just go tell he tell a nerd to go
do it. This is what I want. I want just
to go down. Now, y'all gonna make it go down.
I need to have Steve File's go away. I'll do
my part. My part is spinning the story. I think
he just I think it's like people used to always say,
(08:49):
you just want to be the last person in the
room with him, because the last person in the room
with him convincing to do stuff. I think he know
what he don't like. He don't like people disagree with him.
So he fired everybody that he thinks enemy like. That's
I'm not a He just doing what he doing what
he feels like. It's no so, this is so. This
is why it's been so hard to predict him. It's
(09:09):
because you trying to think, you trying to find an ethos.
You're trying to find a through line, and it ain't
one of the ones that you understand. It's just his
through line is him. There's no strategy other than win
and how you win. Remember, because he believed in zero
some games. This man con artists this, I just need
to get well, I just need to get mine, So
I'm gonna take yours. That's it. And how you get
(09:33):
yours is leverage on other people. That's how you play
the game. Maybe that's his Maybe that's his only strategy.
It's just leverage. But that's what I mean. When you
playing with somebody who really don't know how to play,
they just I just need to get more points than you.
They slam it. They slam down that big ten on
the opening, not knowing that I got a five blank
(09:55):
and then a blank blank. So I'm about to get
a gang of points off you because you don't understand
a strategy. You're just like ten points. You know what
I'm saying. Hugh has here is to hear anyway, But
trying to get my head around why this is such
a big deal for this man, because it's not at
all a secret that he's a scumbag when it comes
(10:18):
to the girls. Everybody knows that, which is why it's
so hypocritical and contradiction to see the evangelical people. Just
man got six kids with four baby mamas. One of
them we know, we know two of its side pieces.
(10:40):
They porn stars. He's already been found guilty. There's already
videos to grab him by the pussy, my nigga, y'all
knew who it was, which to me makes me go, okay,
it's already videos. Everybody know him and Epstein's homies. Everybody
know Trump like them girls, like, we all know this already.
(11:03):
I don't understand what he got to hide. It's like
unless he really got something to hide, because if it
was one of the normal situations, he would be like, yeah, dude,
that was the hummy. Yeah we partied. It was the eighties.
I told y'all wasn't a boy scout. He ran the thing.
(11:26):
Can we move on? Like just yeah, let the papers go.
You ain't y don't see nothing you don't already know.
He usually able to swat everything down teflon Dahn, but like,
but this one got him shook. And the way that
he moving got me to thinking that, like, okay, something
else going on here. Even the way he talking, it
(11:47):
sounded like he priming the pump for what might come
out because he already he planning to see Just like
when he knew he was finna lose to Hillary Clinton,
he was like, if I lose his rigged you priming
the pump already you don't what I'm saying, Like you
already know, like I'm probably gonna lose this. You feel me,
So you start saying, oh, they cheated before the thing over.
So he like, look, oh no, listen the Russian hoaks
(12:10):
that this people always lying. It went from I got
the files, I'm gonna release the files, to the files
don't really say nothing. To the files was made by
everybody I don't like, and they be lying. So I
got them, but I don't got them. They really don't
say nothing. But what they say are the things that
(12:33):
Obama and all my enemies said. I'm like, nigga, you
are scrambling like what like, why is you scrambling like that?
What is the big deal? Now? This was the conundrum
(13:15):
to me. Now comes my tenfoil time. Y'all heard of
Matt lay. He has a stream on Twitch called Left
Reckoning and they have a majority report and Homie unlocked
so much for me when he suggested this, where I
was like, that's the one I believe. Okay, about to
(13:39):
lay this out for you, put a little sauce on
the tacos. But Matt bro you got me thinking, dude,
this is the one that makes the most sense to me.
So let's lay the long play on the table, Like
why would these billionaires who are undoubtedly smarter than Donald Trump?
(14:03):
Why would all these politicians? Why would all these tech
bros be willing to Let's be real, these people have ethos.
These people read. You know you smarter than him, right,
you know he just a brand, but he don't convince
the people. Listen if you Peter Till, I don't understand
(14:25):
why any of them dudes do podcasts because you don't matter.
What do you care? Sam Malte, what do you care
that the public think about you? You own islands? My nigga? Like,
why you don't have to talk to the people. These
people ain't gotta like you, but they be on there talking,
(14:48):
they talk, So I'm thinking, I get it. You want
to be you want to be next to power, but
it ain't because you need the people to file you.
I don't understand what Mark Zucker, But why why do
y'all care unless there's something you're trying to get from him? Right?
(15:09):
But you smarter than him, So you understand that you
can't just go to this person because you negotiate it,
just like he negotiator. You can't just go to this
person without nothing in your pocket, right, just in case
he start acting up, just the case he start acting funny,
start feeling froggy. Right, you can't do that unless that
so you got to play it cool until you get
(15:31):
what you want, because you already know what he wants.
He won't the code sign. You know what I'm saying.
He want to keep looking like a boss. He trying
to because he want to be It's almost like, oh,
you want to be famous. That's it seems like that's
like so if you I understand that you want to
be famous, you want to run around with the big dog. Okay,
I can put you on it, y'a. I mean you
got your own yah, y'all, I understand that. But like
you want to be you want to be an oligarch.
I get it. You're trying to be royal. She understand
(15:55):
what that man wants. Like, okay, where I'll give you that. Yeah,
we'll all kiss your rings. Cool game Thrones with kiss
your you volunteer you like, I just got a like
a trillion dollar contract. You just made me the head
of the military. I love it. You elon listen. Obviously
you got the ev thing. But you know growk is
(16:15):
now the AI for the military, they got the contract
for it. He got what he wanted. The billionaires, the
titans of industry, you know what they got. They got
their tax breaks. They already got that. They got it
the taxi you just cemented it. Twenty seventeen taxs, you
just cemented it. So they got their tax breaks. The
(16:37):
billionaires got their content. Do you know, the tech bros
got their contracts. The right wing, the conservatives, they got
their judges. You ended Roe v. Wade, right, you ended
Chevron defference. Now this is where the politician and the
billionaire works together, because you remember what I told you
what Chevron defference was. That means that like government organizations
(17:02):
that are put together by the Congress, who get to
do oversight over whether you polluting the earth or not,
or whether you following the regulations or not. When there's
a law that's ambiguous, the Supreme Court don't listen to
them no more. They don't have to listen to them
no more. Me as a business I get to say, no,
we're good. Why are you listening to them? They're not experts.
(17:24):
You don't remove the regulations. So we done got regulations ended.
Hell do you understand he ended the regulation on xpestos,
You know, the mesothelioma folks, that's gone. You removing that. Okay,
you done lower everybody's taxes. They got all the judges,
(17:48):
the big beautiful building, gay, these military contracts, billions of dogs.
You get to play toy soldier. Hey, listen, if you
run a business and you really think they really you
really think these owners of businesses are that racist, that
they hate Mexicans that much, they hate Latinos that much,
or they could buy a machine that could do the
(18:11):
work of ten immigrants. Maybe that's what they're doing. You
think they're gonna hire Americans. You think they're gonna go
get them white boys and go come out there and
pick these fen Them white boys ain't gonna come pick them,
pick them farms. They're gonna buy machines. It's tech Like,
I don't what is y'all? Why would we want factories?
(18:32):
And if we got factories, why are y'all not thinking this?
If we get factories, they gonna be automated. Is you
not like when the last time you went to a
grocery store and didn't check your own groceries out. This
why I'm trying to like how many times you called
(18:53):
the call center and tried to hit zero a trillion
times to speak to a representative? You dancing in a loop?
He not making jobs like what? Like this? Like I said,
sometimes conspiracies be obvious to me. It be the most
simple one. I'm building a factory and it's gonna be automated.
(19:16):
I ain't gonna have no stab except for a few
people sit behind a computer, like don't you Why would
I raise my overhead by hiring Americans that don't make
no sense. They don't even know how to do the job.
C CC. We from the forties, we decided we was
gonna build our economy on business. China decided we're gonna
(19:45):
build our economy on manufacturing because businesses need products. We thought.
We started to teach our kids. That's what happened with
all the trades. Why we ain't got no trade schools
like we used. Why we don't respect the trades because
we started teaching. As the American thing, you supposed to
own your own business, You supposed to you supposed to
go to school, go to business school, get to get
(20:07):
the imaginary money, the stocks, the bonds. You supposed to
you supposed to lead, you supposed to own the business.
You let the nerds run it, and you let the unsmart.
The dummies. They the ones that go work in the
coal mines. Theyta ones that go clean your plumbing. You
look down at that plumber making six figures, you feel me.
But that plumber tell you how much? That plumber tell
(20:29):
you how much your plumbing costs. You want to build,
You want to own your big, beautiful building. You know
what I'm saying. That contractor coming there and say, hey,
it's gonna cost you thirty three million g jo. I'm
saying that contractor living right that architect, that architect, the
one that drew up your drawings, one that drew that
mug up. Oh oh, you know where he lived. He
(20:55):
lived in Park City, Utah. You feel me. He living good,
He living right up there with them rist folk, but
you're judging him. China was different, trying to said we're
just gonna we're gonna be the factory for the world.
Y'all don't want it, we'll do it, and we kind
of like, we kind of ate that one. So we're
(21:19):
gonna bring him back. Not so your uncle Mark could
get a job. No, don't you just see what all
the tech bros just did. Your uncle Mark still ain't
gonna get no job. It's going like this, This nigga
was never thinking about you. Again. This is my conspiracy.
(22:22):
I'm building up to my conspiracy theory. So what Matt
said made perfect sense to me. Matt said, these people
already got what they want from it. Now we don't
owe you shit. So the theory is we all know,
everybody know you in the files. Trump niggas have known
this the whole time. That was the ace they had
in their pocket this whole time. And I think this
(22:44):
Wall Street Journal thing is the beginning. It was like, okay,
you still fucking up the tariffs. I see, I see
you doing this tariff thing. And you know what, I
think we need to remind this nigga who really in charge.
We've been been playing this game with you, letting you
believe that you really run this country. Okay, you started
(23:06):
fucking with the stock market and it was cool because
it was a money grab. We all good. Now, I
see what you was doing there, but you need to
stop playing around with these tariffs. Not only that you're
you're supporting a genocide. It's kind of obvious they're starving.
(23:27):
It's not that these people have a soul, it's that, Hey,
that's bad for business. Niggas is losing trust in us.
You said you was gonna come in here and end
them wars because wars are bad for business. My nigga,
you made it worse, potin whooping your ass. Whooping your ass, right,
(23:51):
So I think these titans and business Listen, why they
didn't come to him during the twenty twenty of your elections.
You on your own twin why these people ain't they
look because they got what they wanted already. I don't
need to fight for you no more. Hey, bro, you
(24:11):
gotta figure this shit out. Won't want no part of
this at sting shit because we know what's in there,
and you know what's in there. That's why you're so scared.
You trying to leak little pieces that we all understand.
But my nigga, we know, and this is what you're
gonna do. You're gonna go fix my tariffs. And guess
what just happened. He just came back from Scotland and
(24:34):
apparently he got a trade deal going with the EU.
Now it's not official, but hey, fifteen percent on American
American tariffs. Feel me. We get free trade, we don't
have to pay no tariffs to DEU. You get access
to our tech, we get access to your tech. Everything cool.
(24:59):
So in my mind, the big that's the billionaire class
yanking at leash a little bit like, Hey, little hommy,
I don't want you to ever forget who put you on.
We let you talk big on the television. Nigga. We
know little Wall Street Journal thing leak out. Rupert Murdock
(25:20):
obviously can't stand this, nigga. And this is what happens
with fascism. Fascism make you paranoid. You don't trust nobody.
Because if if I was Trump, I'd be looking at
oh jd Vance a little sideways because I tell you what,
two days before the Wall Street Journal thing came out
about Donald Trump's little doodle drawing. Jd Vance went to
(25:43):
go visit this nigga. Listen, you think you think ambition stops,
You think not. You think none of them are gunning
for that man? You like none of them. Margie Taylor
green On some like, hey, Homie, I don't understand. And
this Epstein thing. You them fucked up twice with me,
(26:04):
you fucked up with Iran, now you fucked up with
this Epstein thing. Her weird ass is like, listen, this ain't.
This ain't We ain't signed up for this. So here's
what I think. I think they know exactly, and I
think Trump know that they know, and they just been
holding it in they pocket the whole time, whenever he
started feeling froggy. That's my conspiracy theory is you can't
(26:29):
moon walk out of this because we know what's in it,
and we'll slow leak the shit every time you start
getting out of pocket. And I think this might just
be the beginning. Now what do I know, But it
kind of feel like since remember, like I said, Trump
(26:51):
ain't got no long game. He just playing the domino
that's in his hand. He don't know how to like
y'all keep calling this man five D chick. No, this
is like when you playing spades with somebody ain't never
played before. They understand the rules in general, but every
once in a while they got some in their hand
in this house that they play that it starts gassing
(27:13):
him up in a way to think that like it's
always going to be like that. It's like a street baller.
Like how many more comparisons, Like if you've only played
at the Venice Beach courts and then you try to
play organized ball, you try to play in a league,
it's different. Oh, it worked out there playing streetball. You
in the league. Now you got to run a play.
(27:37):
We know his play. He know he know business stuff.
But he even said, I'll be going by vibe. He
creates reality, that's what he said. You say it long enough,
it becomes true. He's trying to create a reality. That
shit don't work every time. Like we said last week,
you ain't really You ain't really know your crowd at
(27:59):
the end of the day. If there is anything that
I believe all of America's intersections have in common, if
there's anything I think that unites us, it's that we believe.
(28:20):
God dang it, we know the rich and powerful get
away with murder. Y'all take care of yourselves. You only
think about yourself. The government is not looking out for us.
The wealth gap is getting greater and greater, and it
(28:44):
feels very on purpose. You do not have our best
interests in mine. And what Donald Trump did was he
got on the screen and said, everything you think is
true is true. I know because I be there. You right,
these people do not have your best interest in mine.
(29:04):
And I'm gonna come in there and I'm gonna defend
your rights. But sir, everybody, put your thinking caps on.
Why do you think they let him in the room.
Could it be because he's one of them? Probably because
(29:30):
he's one of them. So when you had a chance
to finally do the thing that they really wanted, Let's
set aside to racism. Let's set aside the ozark Arkansas,
white's only city of it all, which exists. I can't
believe this is really happening now in the year of
(29:51):
our Lord twenty twenty five, that exists. Set that aside
for a second. The one thing, let me tell something,
this is what the people wanted from Donald Trump. Take
down our rules, the people that are making our life miserable.
(30:16):
Take them down. You are supposed to go in there
and destroy the oligarchy, and you had it in your hands.
And it's almost like he forgot. Did He's like, oh shit, wait,
I've been pretending like I'm one of the people so long.
(30:38):
I forgot that I'm not niggas don't trust you didn't
do your homework. Fan. My conspiracy theory is they gonna
keep this billionaire class already got what they wanted from you.
They finna turn on your home me. Is it gonna
(31:01):
break my guy? I don't know. I just think they
already got what they wanted. What else? What else can
you offer them? I don't know. So that's my episode.
I'm phoning it in this week, like I said, because
I am tired and I kind of just want to
(31:23):
put the rest of this topic. Y'all forgive me the
hood politics? All right? Now, don't you hit stop on
