Speaker 1 (00:30):
Welcome everybody to another episode of the Absolute
DMV Podcast.
It's your man, ace Boogie, andI'm here with a few good guys.
I'm here with my man, mark.
Hey, what's up, what's up, andmy man, ego on the boards.
I'm on the boards.
Gentlemen, how y'all feeling?
It's been a long week, longweek and a half or something.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, it's been hot man Not great.
I'm not feeling great.
We still not feeling any better.
I feel like we have anaftershock.
The aftershock is still hittingus right now.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Absolutely there's waves to it.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
No, absolutely, absolutely.
Waves to it.
No, absolutely, absolutely.
I mean it, and of course it'sonly like we said.
It's only been about a week anda half.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Y'all know, donald trump is our next president and
I feel some type of way aboutthat.
You know why?
Because if it was the other wayaround, he like, I feel like
he's so quick, like we're soquick, to make sure he gets in
the office because we have to.
You know what I'm saying?
Like he has the.
But remember, when he was apresident, he draw, he, he, he
(01:30):
literally fought.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Oh yeah, he was calling Georgia trying to get
them to make up votes.
And then he did the wholeinsurrection.
Yeah, like he didn't want toleave, he wouldn't leave.
Do the transition of powerwhere he wasn't on the stage
when Biden took office.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, and that's the thing about it.
I'm feeling real petty right,like now everybody should accept
that he's now the president,like instantly he's the
president, but when he did it,hell no, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then also I have a problemwith and again it's already
rectified Tell them why you mad,tell them why I'm mad son, mad
(02:06):
rapper.
So what it is is it's rectifiedby now.
But the thing about it is whenKamala, when she lost, she took
time and also that felt a typeof way.
It's kind of like a sort ofloser.
She should have got on and saidhey guys, sorry, there's people
who bought tickets at Howardthat literally was supposed to
(02:26):
be waiting for her, regardlessof win or lose, to talk, and she
was like no, it took her a dayor two, and that's why I felt
some type of way about it,because again it's kind of like
don't be like Donald Trump onthat shit.
Because again, that's what I'msaying.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
To be fair to her, though, I did watch a live feed
and the crowd at Howard diddisperse on its own as the news
broke.
So as people found out thatPresident Trump was going to win
, like after he won, I think itwas one of the key swing states.
Like the crowd you could see onthe time blurb, it's like a
fast forward of time.
Everybody moves out.
There's only like 60 or 70people by that point.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
No, but I think she made a decision not to.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
She did people by that point.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
no, but I think she made a decision, not she did,
she did make a decision she did.
It's not like they dispersedagain she's.
If everybody says, hey, she'scoming out to still speak
because she did law, I peoplewould have came back or if not,
stayed I think what happened iswhen she just I'm not doing it,
everybody's like what the fuck?
like?
Now you kind of like wesupported you big time.
We're on your back again.
You didn't you, you didn't win,but come on like let let give
(03:26):
us hope.
And that's what I feelsometimes.
But other than that, I mean, Ikind of feel like again, I kind
of feel like we already knew thereporting I saw.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
So the crowd dispersed and then, after a lot
of the crowd left, arepresentative came out and said
that she wasn't going to becoming out to give the speech,
and then she did do, too, like I.
Yeah, it's the same result atthe end of the day.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, regardless at the end of the day, like if I
was like, okay, if I lost and Ihad all these supporters like
bought tickets and whatever,I'll be the first person in the
crowd like yo, hey guys, we didour thing, we tried our best,
whatever.
And she I kind of knew like theDemocrats didn't prepare the
(04:05):
situation to be—they rode thewave of all right, I'm a woman,
all the women's going to votefor me and I'm going to have
that vote and that's what fuckedup everything.
I think that's me, my opinion.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I mean, look, I think those are all valid points.
Yeah, I tend to agree with someof those points.
I tend to disagree with some ofthose points.
I tend to agree with some ofthose points.
I tend to disagree with some ofthose points.
I normally don't even like totalk politics, but I actually
have a lot to say about this.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Are you about to put on your chef hat?
Are you about to cook right now?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I might have to cook.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I'm going to let you cook.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It might not be cook time yet, but I might have to
let you start.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I'm going to let you cook.
I mean, it might not be cooktime yet, but I might have to.
He ain't cooking.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
He ain't cooking, I'm just prepping.
I'm just prepping the meal realquick, just throwing out an
appetizer.
Yeah, I'm just prepping themeal real quick, all right.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So I would like to say I mean this is.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
The only reason I'm saying that is because you can
say whatever you want and peopleare still going to vote for you
.
Bro, I think that's a talent initself.
Just to have that many peoplesupport you.
That's a superpower.
Yeah blindly Straight up.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's a cult leader, regardless that's, you get them
to drink the cyanide Kool-Aid,they'll do it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But either way, bro Like you can't.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That's Like I see what Ace is talking about.
That's a fucking gift in itself.
Yeah, bro, for you to literallydo the opposite and still win
straight up, like, straight up.
Like I can be, I can saywhatever I want and hypnotize
whatever.
The mass, like you said, as acult, is a superpower.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It's sick, bro.
I mean think of.
I mean like I really don't wantto sit back and big this man up
.
No, not big him up, we justreally have to when you just sit
back and you look at it and yousee that, regardless of the
bankruptcies, he's had successin business.
He's pivoted to TV.
He has success in TV.
He's pivoted to politics.
(06:10):
He's now had success inpolitics.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
The thing I'll say is I don't think it's so much a
superpower, I think it's justhe's taking advantage of the
system that's in place.
Superpower, yeah, it's amisogynistic, you know, uh, you
know racist, you know uh systemthat we have here and he already
had a bunch of money in thebankroll and he's got zero shame
(06:34):
.
And he's just the first dudewho would get out there on a
celebrity political, you knowsort of businessman level and
just stoop as low as no one elsewould go and just keep doing it
again and again and again andagain.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, so think about it.
It's a business.
If you know it doesn't work,you'll stop doing it.
Exactly as I said, like he knewas a business what to say, what
to do.
Exactly as a product you wereselling.
If you know people are going tobuy, regardless if it's 50% or
40%, 40% of people are buyingthis.
Why would I stop doing what I'mdoing?
If it was failing, then hewould have stopped doing it.
(07:08):
It wasn't failing.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
So he used it as a business Again superpower.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
The system is set up like that, Just like any sell
Like if I'm a great seller andI'm going to sell you water and
you're at the beach, I'm afucking great seller.
He knew exactly what he wasdoing.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's like I said Batman makes sure he shows y'all
half his face because he wantsthem to know that he's white.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You know, that's just how it goes.
You know what I'm saying?
Hey, we're going to anotherfucking level.
No, but for real, for real, forreal.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It's just like I said , I don't want to big that man
up, but you just have toobjectively look at what he's
able to done, what he's able tobe to what he's been able to do.
Excuse me, um, congratulationsto kamala.
Uh, you ran a great race, greatum without knowing that you
were going to be in the raceshort of 100 days.
(07:59):
Basically, um, to go out thereand do what you did get as close
, as you did.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Exactly.
I mean, that's kudos to you onthat.
Did you see the numberscomparing when Donald versus
Hillary Clinton?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It was slightly less in the same situation.
It was literally about—.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And Hillary had a solid, a solid like two, three
and a half, three years.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
In fact, Kamala still did the same numbers as.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And she only had one debate.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Hillary had multiple debates, so that's the thing
about it like Asa's talkingabout give her props what she
did because she wasn't prepared.
As, like I said, the party didnot prepare this situation to
work the way it did.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
And I will say on that one debate, sorry to
interrupt.
On that one debate she smokedhis ass too.
She was the only person ever toreally check him in a debate,
you know, because when he wasdebating Hillary he was like
walking behind her and being allcreepy.
He demolished Biden.
On the most recent one, ofcourse, because it was like two
old men debating right, but shethrew it in his face.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But it was again.
It wasn't the fact that howprofessional she was, it was the
fact that there's two thingsthat were against her off the
back.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You know what I'm saying and, for that being said,
that's strong, that's a hugething, but also it shows that
you know glass.
There's no glass ceiling, it's.
It's a brick ceiling.
Nobody's gonna break through ifyou're a woman well the thing
about that.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I have some opinions about what can be done in the
next 70.
I think doesn't matter 70 somedays.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
It doesn't matter because it's rigged that way.
It's big because, as you cantell right now as much that the
changes of this way, like women,have more power.
This shows exactly how muchpower they show.
They don't have again a whitewoman.
A woman itself should be thefirst thing.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
But even then, Hillary didn't win.
She's a white woman.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
But Hillary, Hillary, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well, what I'll say is what if Biden just steps down
right now?
He just cites his age?
Republicans can't argue withhim about that, because they've
been ragging on him about howold he is.
What if he just steps downright now and then the glass
ceiling For the next two and ahalf months?
We have Kamala as our president, that we have.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Kamala as our president, that's a cheap way to
get it.
That's a cheap way to get it,but at the same time, he would
never do that as a white man, doyou?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
understand that and that brings my whole grievance
with him.
Exactly, do you understand?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, he already knew .
Think about it.
He already knew when he pickedhe could have stepped down a
long time to get her a chance.
Because he knew to make theDemocrats strong, I can let her
step up.
He even fought until peopleeverybody's like yo, you're
fucking up.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Literally everybody else had to convince him he was
fucking up, but you got tounderstand, bro, that there's a
script, basically.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, of course, you already talked about this.
Vice presidents have to knowtheir place.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Not even just that I'm talking about.
There's a script, script, andwhen these, when, when these
political parties the, thedemocrats, the republicans they
pick who they want to be thenext person.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
kamala ended up just falling into it because she's
the only strongest democrat inanything that came came out.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
She wasn't she wasn't yeah no, she wasn't, she was
the.
She was the only option rightat that moment.
There you go.
She was the only option.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Part of the issue is when Biden won against Trump in
2020, he said I'm going to be aninterim president, which has
the connotation that he's goingto be one term.
So we've talked about it before.
There were plenty of other big,you know Democrats, plenty of
other ones with a lot of namerecognition big, you know
Democrats, plenty of other oneswith a lot of name recognition.
You know Pete Buttigieg, betoO'Rourke.
(11:56):
You know a lot of other folkswomen candidates, white
candidates, male candidates,female candidates you know
there's a lot of options tochoose from.
So the Democratic Party had fouryears and really you want to
have one year to do the campaign.
You want to have the yearbefore that to know who you're
going to have and prep them.
So, really, campaign, you wantto have the year before that to
know who you're going to haveand prep them.
So really, like, after thefirst year, like 2021, they
should have already known whothey were going to go with and
start really pushing that personinto the forefront to the
(12:16):
public.
They didn't do that and Bidenwas like no, I'm just gonna, I'm
just gonna keep going again.
And it's kind of like you know,once you get power, it's hard
to give it up.
But then he kept trying to runagainst Trump and I don't, maybe
he was waiting to see if it wasgoing to be someone other than
Trump.
No, he is the only person whobeat Trump before.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Maybe he didn't do that, but as much as he thought
he felt that literally he wasgoing to win anybody, he stepped
in in front of him.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
And then his performance just suffered.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I think I can beat him again.
Exactly what typical.
Again, like you said, whatmindset is?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
that.
No, the mindset of that is thatthe script isn't written yet.
We don't have a propersuccessor for me.
So at this point, when we aregoing out here and we're doing
this and now we're seeing myperformance slip and it's time
to put somebody else in place,they're not actually ready.
(13:12):
So the only person that we haveat this point, who got the
closest because Kamala got theclosest in the Democratic
nominee against Biden, so shegot the closest Now she's the
vice president.
At this point, she is our onlyother choice, because anybody
else we pick is either going tobe it's going to look like
(13:32):
misogynistic, because there'sgoing to be a white man that
we're going to pick, or or we'regoing to pick somebody to come
straight out of left field andwe have, and that's the thing
the public
Speaker 3 (13:43):
would have no name recognition or they wouldn't be
relevant for the last four years.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
So they had to go with Kamala.
And this is where I'm excited,because I've said this before
and I'll say it again this isnow going to be the last four
years of Trump.
We're not going to have to dealwith another Trump presidency.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yes, or no.
You know why?
No, no, no, they are prepping.
His vice president is going tobe another version of Trump,
younger version.
No, that's not.
I know you're talking, but he'snot.
We don't physically have todeal with it.
He's not Trump.
That's what I'm saying hedoesn't have the.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
He's not Trump.
He's a weirdo.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
He doesn't have the it factor that people are going
to back him.
Yeah, nobody in the RepublicanParty right now has that it
factor that people are justgoing to back them the way that
they're backing Trump.
So that's why this is, that'swhy I'm excited for this,
because now I get to see hold on.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm sorry, let me get this real out.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
The reason why I'm excited is because I want to see
what are going, what theDemocratic and the Republican
Party are going to do.
We have to have.
There's going to be a newperson on both sides there's
going to be a reset.
Yeah, there's going to be areset, so I need to see what is
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I think that if there's one thing that I'm
excited about for this is that,like you were talking about with
the script, you know, this isyou throw out the old script,
you start writing from scratch.
You know Democrats did not wantBernie in 2016.
They really forced the scriptof getting Hillary in and that
upset a lot of Democrats on thefar left and I say far left I
(15:17):
mean just left, because Americain general has been moving to
the right.
You know, like a moderate inthe 90s would be considered like
a liberal now and a Republicanin the 90s would be like a
moderate now, like the.
It would just move to the left,like if you took biden out of
this country and put him inpower in somewhere like an
actual left country, like a.
(15:37):
You know, like a norway orsweden, he'd be basically like a
fascist, almost like he's.
He's pretty far to the left andconsider to where a lot of
other countries are.
So bernie is a natural sort ofoption for a lot of young people
.
He's speaking to them about theissues and a lot of young
people who are.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
He's too old right now.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
He's too old.
But what I'm saying is thescript they forced.
It didn't work.
Bernie would have been a goodoption.
They didn't work.
They managed to get Biden in,but it was more so to beat Trump
.
Now they're going to have tohave a real reckoning and say
what is our policy, what's ourplatform?
Because with Kamala they triedto go and try to win over that
moderate Republican vote.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So they moved to the right.
No, you have to go younger atthis point Exactly.
It's basically in the same timeperiod of Clinton Yep, when
Clinton became president.
He was a pretty young guy whenhe became president, just
because there had to be a reset.
Pretty young guy when he becamepresident just because there
had to be a reset.
And there has to be a reset nowthat the only people that we've
(16:35):
had would like you said berniealmost 90, yeah, joe biden
almost 90.
So you gotta rebuild, like youknow what I'm saying.
Like you gotta start now, yougotta start at a young, you
gotta start a young place.
So I'm I'm excited to see whatthe reset is gonna be, and it's
gonna be a lot, because again.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I'm sorry.
No, go ahead, be.
It's going to be a lot becauseagain.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I'm sorry, no, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Because it's going to be a lot, because it's also the
same time.
I like to see the outcome ofthat, the decisions that people
did when they voted um.
Now he's in office.
He had, he's literally it'slike the wild, wild west.
He has the bullets to prettymuch shoot anything he wants, to
do whatever he wants.
Because, again, teflon don kindof feel like he, the people who
(17:13):
voted now.
If he starts shooting at themnow, what are you going to do
now?
You can't.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
You already vote him in office well, it's like
there's the I think it was tonyoff air but there's a viral
video.
There's this Hispanic guy whowas very pro-Trump and was very
outspoken on his TikTok andsocial media about, you know,
voting for Trump.
And then, when Trump won, heput up a big video and you
basically say, congratulatingTrump.
And then there was a wholeviral video where now he
apparently he sent his daughtersover to his neighbor who a
(17:38):
white family, and they basicallyturned him away and said we
don't, you know, we don't wantyour kind here.
And then he put that up sayingyou know, like this is, this is
the world of america, where thatwe signed up for this and
that's like, yeah, you know,it's like latinos for trump is
like, you know, like jews forhitler, it's like it's, he
doesn't have your interest inmind.
The whole platform that he ranon the first time was building a
wall, you know.
So he said he literally talkedabout Puerto Rico, yeah.
(18:01):
He just brought that dude outhere who said it was a floating
pile of garbage, Like it can'tbe more black and white for you.
So if you vote for him and you,just at this point, you get
what you get and I hope youlearn from that.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, you lay in your bed.
You know what I'm saying.
I don't know what the fuck I'msaying.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I mean yeah, no, the way you make your bed is how
you're going to lay in it.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, so yeah, you can't teach stupid.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I think the thing about it is a lot of people are
saying they looked at theeconomy, they looked at a lot of
things and they want to change,and they think that Donald
Trump is going to be able togive it to them.
And, with that being said, Ihave a challenge, not a
challenge.
I don't even want to say achallenge because it's not a
(18:44):
challenge, but over the last Idon't know how many years, I've
been hearing black RepublicansRepublicans in general saying
that Democrats haven't doneanything for black people in the
last 30 years.
I tend to disagree with that.
I think there's one, somethingbig, that just happened very
(19:05):
recently and it's still going on, but, um, that Donald Trump, I
think, is probably going to tryto kill, but I think that that's
something that was done forblack people but let's speak on
it.
Uh, the affordable care act.
There you go.
I honestly think that was donefor black people, because black
people are the ones mostdisparaged by the medical system
(19:27):
and not having access tohealthcare.
He's playing on Obama, though,no, but that's what he had to do
as a black president.
I don't think that man couldhave went out there and said I'm
doing something for blackpeople.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Because then we would have never seen another black
president.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
We've never seen another black nominee.
It benefited a lot of otherpeople too.
No, but he had to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
He had to do it under the guise of I'm doing this for
all Americans, so you don'tfall for, so you don't see the
play of no, I'm actually doingthis for black people, so you
just want to see the actualaction.
So yeah, so I think that thatis one thing that was done for
black people.
You can debate me on that ifyou want.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I don't care, nobody debates you.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
No, no, no, I'm just saying I'm talking to even the
viewers.
I'm saying debate me on that,if you want, but what I'm saying
is from the last four yearsTrump was in office.
Even though it's been aninterrupted eight years, we're
going to have eight years ofTrump.
I want you to really sit backand think about all the things,
(20:35):
mark them down.
Yeah, all the things that aRepublican government because
now that's what it is, I believe, even the Senate.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
They got the Senate, they got the House, I think, is
still in the air.
It's looking like it's probablygoing to go their way.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So they got the House , they got the Senate, they got
the Supreme Court, they got thepresidency.
So they got there's aRepublican government at this
point.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
And he stacked a lot of Republican judges last time.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So I want to see what I want black people to really,
really focus and really, reallymark down and think about what a
Republican government has donefor you.
Put the pros and cons together.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, because over the time, the last 30 years,
you're quick to tell me or quickto say what Democrats haven't
done.
So please, I would like for thenext four years, and even the
last four or previous to this,what was done for you during
that time.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, I see what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It's pretty much go ahead and put the list together.
I'm open-minded on this.
No, like I said, as I've gottenolder, as I've gotten older, I
can honestly say I've evenbecome more conservative.
There's a lot of things thatconservative, there's a lot of
conservative views that I canactually agree with.
Um, but at the same time, I doI'll never forget I'm.
(22:00):
I'm still broke now, but I'llnever forget being broke, like
actually being down.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Broke, broke, broke yeah, you know what I'm saying.
And then broke, not like broke,as in like you, the situation.
No, I mean like Like broke,because it literally is.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
You're in the situation Like dog.
I'm talking about a dollar inmy bank account, bro, like
dollar to my name.
No, that's what I'm saying andI'm not and don't know where the
next dollar going to come from.
Yeah, it's been a hot minute,so I've been like I've been down
yeah, you know what I'm sayingand like, and a lot of things
have been unemployment programs,whatever things have worked out
(22:34):
for me, extended programsthrough whatever government have
worked out for me and hasallowed me to stay afloat, to
the point that now I'm able tobe more self-sufficient.
Now Go ahead, mark.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Well, I think a lot of the things that you're
talking about is are like, like,like you know, these different
programs and safety net, sort ofthings that the Republicans
will now call communism orsocialism and demonize, but
those are the same things that alot of their base, you know,
are benefiting from.
So a lot of the base, even thewhite people, the poor white
(23:10):
people in the South, a lot ofthem, are on Social Security,
and then they're also demonizingsocialism.
Social Security has social inits name, Like it literally is
socialism right there, and thenthey'll hate on it.
You know, my, my wife, who'sfrom brazil, she's, uh, you know
, she's telling me she knows aupairs and this, and that, who,
who are just getting their greencard now, and this and that,
and, and they're, you knowthey're saying, oh man, I'm so
(23:32):
glad I got it now because, uh,you know, I you know, trump is
in yeah and uh and this and that, but then they're the same type
of people who will vote forTrump and whatnot, of course,
and then it's like and they'repro-Trump, but then it's like
they don't have empathy, evenfor themselves six months ago,
when they were in the program,and if Trump was the president,
then they'd be out, you know.
(23:52):
So once you have the power oronce you have that next level
status, it's hard to have thatempathy for the people below you
or even where you were on theway before you got to the next
level.
It is replaced with this apathyand you know I'm sorry to break
you down.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
So the thing about it is a lot of things a lot of
countries outside of Americaknow now there's a better
situation.
They'll get where they are nowbecause if, once you're in,
you're in, you're an American.
And again Trump pretty muchsays all right, you know what,
if you vote for me, you'reAmerican.
Until I don't think you'reAmerican, yeah, and so, of
(24:28):
course, like I said, as an aupair, let me get in so I can be
an American, so I can make themoney that I know is possible.
That's always been the Americanway, but it's even more now.
Yeah, even more now, even morenow.
And because, again, this iswhat I have a problem with,
because I don't know.
And then again I don't know andI have to do a survey to really
(24:48):
feel like, what does othercountries feel about us?
How this a clown, or pretty much, it's literally a, it's a, it's
a, um, it's a reality show tothem.
Yeah, it's literally a realityshow.
It's.
It's not what they're used toseeing when their parents grew
up or whatever.
It's now like, all right, ifthis motherfucker is a convicted
felon to become a president, Idefinitely have a chance.
(25:11):
Well, like, or it's not.
And I'm saying and I wastalking.
I'm sorry, I was talking aboutyour dad, talking to your dad
about, yeah, they should changethe rules of that.
You know, convicted felonsshould be able to vote now
because if the president is afelon, regardless of how felons
light or dark or whatever youwant to call it, now you should
let me do what I can do becauseit's okay.
(25:32):
That's what, like I'm.
It's kind of like I'm lookingforward to find out.
Like Asa's talking about thereality show of like let's see
what happens right.
Yeah, the reality show of like,let's see what happens right.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Let's see if they it shoots themselves in a, in a
back or in a, pretty much,you're going to kill yourself,
dig yourself a hole or holy fuck, it's a whole different.
It's a whole new world.
Whole new world is changingright now that you can do
whatever you can and stillbecome whatever you want.
That's it Literally.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
This was happening, no consequence, whatever you
want, that's literally.
This was happening, noconsequences.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I mean, let's find out how it's going to go in
every.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
let's find out how it's going to go in every way,
because I'm like I said, I'minterested to see, because now
I'm really focused on it.
I'm trying to be open-mindedand seeing what the difference
is between a Republican and aDemocratic government.
So I'm trying to see what, howthis stuff is going to go.
(26:24):
I want to see what is going tohappen within the next four
years.
How much damage is going to bedone?
Yeah, because I mean justlittle things about the
reproductive.
I have little girls.
Yeah, and hopefully that theywill never need to grow up and
have abortions.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Well, we're good in Maryland.
We just got that enshrined herein the state I was going to say
that's where, yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
See, but that's the other thing.
But that's where the otherthing is.
Also congratulations to AngelaAltshuler-Brooks.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, making it into the Senate as a black
woman.
Also, give her props.
She's from PG.
She's literally born and raisedfrom PG, so we should talk
about that and we got Wes Moore.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Definitely that we have Wes Moore as our governor.
But yeah, I mean just the wholeidea of this is where you have
to understand that it's moreimportant to focus on your local
legislative government Exactly.
Vote local, I mean.
Focus on your county, focus onyour state, things like that.
Come to DV, Because that'swhat's going to honestly keep
(27:24):
you safe, Exactly In statesDifferent states are different.
If I can make it as simple aspossible, weed is still
federally illegal, but inindividual states it's legal.
Different, yeah, becauseindividual states are allowed to
govern themselves Exactly.
So Come to DV.
Focus on.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
All three states are legal.
So come to DMV.
Focus on all three.
Yeah, I mean yeah.
Focus on your local.
You know your local government.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
When you're voting, please Weed everywhere.
I don't smoke, weed everywhere.
The other thing, as Ace wassaying, you know just to look at
the next four years of Trump,the other thing is just not just
look inward on the small, youknow local election and then
America as a whole, but as theworld in total, because a lot of
things hang in the balance withTrump.
You know Ukraine, gaza, youknow a lot of these other
international issues and Putinis not.
(28:12):
If he gets Ukraine, I mean he'snot going to stop at Ukraine.
You know Europe is all you knowon his menu right now.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I mean from what people are saying, because, like
I said, I've been doing a lotof research on this so I've been
trying to figure things out.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
So keep it short.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
But people are saying that Trump is is cool with all
these guys and he can kind oftalk them off the ledge, exactly
.
So let's see if, once again, ifTrump can stop some wars, since
we'll see I mean he didn't getus into any wars.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
He didn't, he didn't.
He didn't get us into any wars.
So let's see if he can stopsome wars.
Yes, that's huge.
And again, we will keep talkingabout this because again, this
is again a reality show.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Oh no, this is going to be a constant thing.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
This is going to be a constant thing and I know Mark
is really looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Big T is back in office.
We are about to have once againthe most entertaining president
back on TV.
Speaker 2 (29:04):

Absolute DMV, absolute DMV,peace, peace, peace.
Welcome everybody to another episode of the Absolute
DMV Podcast.
It's your man, ace Boogie, andI'm here with a few good guys.
I'm here with my man, mark.
Hey, what's up, what's up, andmy man, ego on the boards.
I'm on the boards.
Gentlemen, how y'all feeling?
It's been a long week, longweek and a half or something.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, it's been hot man Not great.
I'm not feeling great.
We still not feeling any better.
I feel like we have anaftershock.
The aftershock is still hittingus right now.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Absolutely there's waves to it.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
No, absolutely, absolutely.
Waves to it.
No, absolutely, absolutely.
I mean it, and of course it'sonly like we said.
It's only been about a week anda half.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Y'all know, donald trump is our next president and
I feel some type of way aboutthat.
You know why?
Because if it was the other wayaround, he like, I feel like
he's so quick, like we're soquick, to make sure he gets in
the office because we have to.
You know what I'm saying?
Like he has the.
But remember, when he was apresident, he draw, he, he, he
(01:30):
literally fought.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Oh yeah, he was calling Georgia trying to get
them to make up votes.
And then he did the wholeinsurrection.
Yeah, like he didn't want toleave, he wouldn't leave.
Do the transition of powerwhere he wasn't on the stage
when Biden took office.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, and that's the thing about it.
I'm feeling real petty right,like now everybody should accept
that he's now the president,like instantly he's the
president, but when he did it,hell no, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then also I have a problemwith and again it's already
rectified Tell them why you mad,tell them why I'm mad son, mad
(02:06):
rapper.
So what it is is it's rectifiedby now.
But the thing about it is whenKamala, when she lost, she took
time and also that felt a typeof way.
It's kind of like a sort ofloser.
She should have got on and saidhey guys, sorry, there's people
who bought tickets at Howardthat literally was supposed to
(02:26):
be waiting for her, regardlessof win or lose, to talk, and she
was like no, it took her a dayor two, and that's why I felt
some type of way about it,because again it's kind of like
don't be like Donald Trump onthat shit.
Because again, that's what I'msaying.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
To be fair to her, though, I did watch a live feed
and the crowd at Howard diddisperse on its own as the news
broke.
So as people found out thatPresident Trump was going to win
, like after he won, I think itwas one of the key swing states.
Like the crowd you could see onthe time blurb, it's like a
fast forward of time.
Everybody moves out.
There's only like 60 or 70people by that point.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
No, but I think she made a decision not to.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
She did people by that point.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
no, but I think she made a decision, not she did,
she did make a decision she did.
It's not like they dispersedagain she's.
If everybody says, hey, she'scoming out to still speak
because she did law, I peoplewould have came back or if not,
stayed I think what happened iswhen she just I'm not doing it,
everybody's like what the fuck?
like?
Now you kind of like wesupported you big time.
We're on your back again.
You didn't you, you didn't win,but come on like let let give
(03:26):
us hope.
And that's what I feelsometimes.
But other than that, I mean, Ikind of feel like again, I kind
of feel like we already knew thereporting I saw.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
So the crowd dispersed and then, after a lot
of the crowd left, arepresentative came out and said
that she wasn't going to becoming out to give the speech,
and then she did do, too, like I.
Yeah, it's the same result atthe end of the day.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, regardless at the end of the day, like if I
was like, okay, if I lost and Ihad all these supporters like
bought tickets and whatever,I'll be the first person in the
crowd like yo, hey guys, we didour thing, we tried our best,
whatever.
And she I kind of knew like theDemocrats didn't prepare the
(04:05):
situation to be—they rode thewave of all right, I'm a woman,
all the women's going to votefor me and I'm going to have
that vote and that's what fuckedup everything.
I think that's me, my opinion.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I mean, look, I think those are all valid points.
Yeah, I tend to agree with someof those points.
I tend to disagree with some ofthose points.
I tend to agree with some ofthose points.
I tend to disagree with some ofthose points.
I normally don't even like totalk politics, but I actually
have a lot to say about this.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Are you about to put on your chef hat?
Are you about to cook right now?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I might have to cook.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I'm going to let you cook.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It might not be cook time yet, but I might have to
let you start.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I'm going to let you cook.
I mean, it might not be cooktime yet, but I might have to.
He ain't cooking.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
He ain't cooking, I'm just prepping.
I'm just prepping the meal realquick, just throwing out an
appetizer.
Yeah, I'm just prepping themeal real quick, all right.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So I would like to say I mean this is.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
The only reason I'm saying that is because you can
say whatever you want and peopleare still going to vote for you
.
Bro, I think that's a talent initself.
Just to have that many peoplesupport you.
That's a superpower.
Yeah blindly Straight up.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's a cult leader, regardless that's, you get them
to drink the cyanide Kool-Aid,they'll do it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But either way, bro Like you can't.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That's Like I see what Ace is talking about.
That's a fucking gift in itself.
Yeah, bro, for you to literallydo the opposite and still win
straight up, like, straight up.
Like I can be, I can saywhatever I want and hypnotize
whatever.
The mass, like you said, as acult, is a superpower.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It's sick, bro.
I mean think of.
I mean like I really don't wantto sit back and big this man up
.
No, not big him up, we justreally have to when you just sit
back and you look at it and yousee that, regardless of the
bankruptcies, he's had successin business.
He's pivoted to TV.
He has success in TV.
He's pivoted to politics.
(06:10):
He's now had success inpolitics.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
The thing I'll say is I don't think it's so much a
superpower, I think it's justhe's taking advantage of the
system that's in place.
Superpower, yeah, it's amisogynistic, you know, uh, you
know racist, you know uh systemthat we have here and he already
had a bunch of money in thebankroll and he's got zero shame
(06:34):
.
And he's just the first dudewho would get out there on a
celebrity political, you knowsort of businessman level and
just stoop as low as no one elsewould go and just keep doing it
again and again and again andagain.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, so think about it.
It's a business.
If you know it doesn't work,you'll stop doing it.
Exactly as I said, like he knewas a business what to say, what
to do.
Exactly as a product you wereselling.
If you know people are going tobuy, regardless if it's 50% or
40%, 40% of people are buyingthis.
Why would I stop doing what I'mdoing?
If it was failing, then hewould have stopped doing it.
(07:08):
It wasn't failing.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
So he used it as a business Again superpower.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
The system is set up like that, Just like any sell
Like if I'm a great seller andI'm going to sell you water and
you're at the beach, I'm afucking great seller.
He knew exactly what he wasdoing.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's like I said Batman makes sure he shows y'all
half his face because he wantsthem to know that he's white.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You know, that's just how it goes.
You know what I'm saying?
Hey, we're going to anotherfucking level.
No, but for real, for real, forreal.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It's just like I said , I don't want to big that man
up, but you just have toobjectively look at what he's
able to done, what he's able tobe to what he's been able to do.
Excuse me, um, congratulationsto kamala.
Uh, you ran a great race, greatum without knowing that you
were going to be in the raceshort of 100 days.
(07:59):
Basically, um, to go out thereand do what you did get as close
, as you did.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Exactly.
I mean, that's kudos to you onthat.
Did you see the numberscomparing when Donald versus
Hillary Clinton?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It was slightly less in the same situation.
It was literally about—.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And Hillary had a solid, a solid like two, three
and a half, three years.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
In fact, Kamala still did the same numbers as.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And she only had one debate.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Hillary had multiple debates, so that's the thing
about it like Asa's talkingabout give her props what she
did because she wasn't prepared.
As, like I said, the party didnot prepare this situation to
work the way it did.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
And I will say on that one debate, sorry to
interrupt.
On that one debate she smokedhis ass too.
She was the only person ever toreally check him in a debate,
you know, because when he wasdebating Hillary he was like
walking behind her and being allcreepy.
He demolished Biden.
On the most recent one, ofcourse, because it was like two
old men debating right, but shethrew it in his face.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But it was again.
It wasn't the fact that howprofessional she was, it was the
fact that there's two thingsthat were against her off the
back.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You know what I'm saying and, for that being said,
that's strong, that's a hugething, but also it shows that
you know glass.
There's no glass ceiling, it's.
It's a brick ceiling.
Nobody's gonna break through ifyou're a woman well the thing
about that.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I have some opinions about what can be done in the
next 70.
I think doesn't matter 70 somedays.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
It doesn't matter because it's rigged that way.
It's big because, as you cantell right now as much that the
changes of this way, like women,have more power.
This shows exactly how muchpower they show.
They don't have again a whitewoman.
A woman itself should be thefirst thing.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
But even then, Hillary didn't win.
She's a white woman.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
But Hillary, Hillary, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well, what I'll say is what if Biden just steps down
right now?
He just cites his age?
Republicans can't argue withhim about that, because they've
been ragging on him about howold he is.
What if he just steps downright now and then the glass
ceiling For the next two and ahalf months?
We have Kamala as our president, that we have.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Kamala as our president, that's a cheap way to
get it.
That's a cheap way to get it,but at the same time, he would
never do that as a white man, doyou?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
understand that and that brings my whole grievance
with him.
Exactly, do you understand?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, he already knew .
Think about it.
He already knew when he pickedhe could have stepped down a
long time to get her a chance.
Because he knew to make theDemocrats strong, I can let her
step up.
He even fought until peopleeverybody's like yo, you're
fucking up.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Literally everybody else had to convince him he was
fucking up, but you got tounderstand, bro, that there's a
script, basically.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, of course, you already talked about this.
Vice presidents have to knowtheir place.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Not even just that I'm talking about.
There's a script, script, andwhen these, when, when these
political parties the, thedemocrats, the republicans they
pick who they want to be thenext person.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
kamala ended up just falling into it because she's
the only strongest democrat inanything that came came out.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
She wasn't she wasn't yeah no, she wasn't, she was
the.
She was the only option rightat that moment.
There you go.
She was the only option.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Part of the issue is when Biden won against Trump in
2020, he said I'm going to be aninterim president, which has
the connotation that he's goingto be one term.
So we've talked about it before.
There were plenty of other big,you know Democrats, plenty of
other ones with a lot of namerecognition big, you know
Democrats, plenty of other oneswith a lot of name recognition.
You know Pete Buttigieg, betoO'Rourke.
(11:56):
You know a lot of other folkswomen candidates, white
candidates, male candidates,female candidates you know
there's a lot of options tochoose from.
So the Democratic Party had fouryears and really you want to
have one year to do the campaign.
You want to have the yearbefore that to know who you're
going to have and prep them.
So, really, campaign, you wantto have the year before that to
know who you're going to haveand prep them.
So really, like, after thefirst year, like 2021, they
should have already known whothey were going to go with and
start really pushing that personinto the forefront to the
(12:16):
public.
They didn't do that and Bidenwas like no, I'm just gonna, I'm
just gonna keep going again.
And it's kind of like you know,once you get power, it's hard
to give it up.
But then he kept trying to runagainst Trump and I don't, maybe
he was waiting to see if it wasgoing to be someone other than
Trump.
No, he is the only person whobeat Trump before.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Maybe he didn't do that, but as much as he thought
he felt that literally he wasgoing to win anybody, he stepped
in in front of him.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
And then his performance just suffered.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I think I can beat him again.
Exactly what typical.
Again, like you said, whatmindset is?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
that.
No, the mindset of that is thatthe script isn't written yet.
We don't have a propersuccessor for me.
So at this point, when we aregoing out here and we're doing
this and now we're seeing myperformance slip and it's time
to put somebody else in place,they're not actually ready.
(13:12):
So the only person that we haveat this point, who got the
closest because Kamala got theclosest in the Democratic
nominee against Biden, so shegot the closest Now she's the
vice president.
At this point, she is our onlyother choice, because anybody
else we pick is either going tobe it's going to look like
(13:32):
misogynistic, because there'sgoing to be a white man that
we're going to pick, or or we'regoing to pick somebody to come
straight out of left field andwe have, and that's the thing
the public
Speaker 3 (13:43):
would have no name recognition or they wouldn't be
relevant for the last four years.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
So they had to go with Kamala.
And this is where I'm excited,because I've said this before
and I'll say it again this isnow going to be the last four
years of Trump.
We're not going to have to dealwith another Trump presidency.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yes, or no.
You know why?
No, no, no, they are prepping.
His vice president is going tobe another version of Trump,
younger version.
No, that's not.
I know you're talking, but he'snot.
We don't physically have todeal with it.
He's not Trump.
That's what I'm saying hedoesn't have the.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
He's not Trump.
He's a weirdo.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
He doesn't have the it factor that people are going
to back him.
Yeah, nobody in the RepublicanParty right now has that it
factor that people are justgoing to back them the way that
they're backing Trump.
So that's why this is, that'swhy I'm excited for this,
because now I get to see hold on.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm sorry, let me get this real out.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
The reason why I'm excited is because I want to see
what are going, what theDemocratic and the Republican
Party are going to do.
We have to have.
There's going to be a newperson on both sides there's
going to be a reset.
Yeah, there's going to be areset, so I need to see what is
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I think that if there's one thing that I'm
excited about for this is that,like you were talking about with
the script, you know, this isyou throw out the old script,
you start writing from scratch.
You know Democrats did not wantBernie in 2016.
They really forced the scriptof getting Hillary in and that
upset a lot of Democrats on thefar left and I say far left I
(15:17):
mean just left, because Americain general has been moving to
the right.
You know, like a moderate inthe 90s would be considered like
a liberal now and a Republicanin the 90s would be like a
moderate now, like the.
It would just move to the left,like if you took biden out of
this country and put him inpower in somewhere like an
actual left country, like a.
(15:37):
You know, like a norway orsweden, he'd be basically like a
fascist, almost like he's.
He's pretty far to the left andconsider to where a lot of
other countries are.
So bernie is a natural sort ofoption for a lot of young people
.
He's speaking to them about theissues and a lot of young
people who are.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
He's too old right now.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
He's too old.
But what I'm saying is thescript they forced.
It didn't work.
Bernie would have been a goodoption.
They didn't work.
They managed to get Biden in,but it was more so to beat Trump
.
Now they're going to have tohave a real reckoning and say
what is our policy, what's ourplatform?
Because with Kamala they triedto go and try to win over that
moderate Republican vote.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So they moved to the right.
No, you have to go younger atthis point Exactly.
It's basically in the same timeperiod of Clinton Yep, when
Clinton became president.
He was a pretty young guy whenhe became president, just
because there had to be a reset.
Pretty young guy when he becamepresident just because there
had to be a reset.
And there has to be a reset nowthat the only people that we've
(16:35):
had would like you said berniealmost 90, yeah, joe biden
almost 90.
So you gotta rebuild, like youknow what I'm saying.
Like you gotta start now, yougotta start at a young, you
gotta start a young place.
So I'm I'm excited to see whatthe reset is gonna be, and it's
gonna be a lot, because again.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I'm sorry.
No, go ahead, be.
It's going to be a lot becauseagain.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I'm sorry, no, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Because it's going to be a lot, because it's also the
same time.
I like to see the outcome ofthat, the decisions that people
did when they voted um.
Now he's in office.
He had, he's literally it'slike the wild, wild west.
He has the bullets to prettymuch shoot anything he wants, to
do whatever he wants.
Because, again, teflon don kindof feel like he, the people who
(17:13):
voted now.
If he starts shooting at themnow, what are you going to do
now?
You can't.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
You already vote him in office well, it's like
there's the I think it was tonyoff air but there's a viral
video.
There's this Hispanic guy whowas very pro-Trump and was very
outspoken on his TikTok andsocial media about, you know,
voting for Trump.
And then, when Trump won, heput up a big video and you
basically say, congratulatingTrump.
And then there was a wholeviral video where now he
apparently he sent his daughtersover to his neighbor who a
(17:38):
white family, and they basicallyturned him away and said we
don't, you know, we don't wantyour kind here.
And then he put that up sayingyou know, like this is, this is
the world of america, where thatwe signed up for this and
that's like, yeah, you know,it's like latinos for trump is
like, you know, like jews forhitler, it's like it's, he
doesn't have your interest inmind.
The whole platform that he ranon the first time was building a
wall, you know.
So he said he literally talkedabout Puerto Rico, yeah.
(18:01):
He just brought that dude outhere who said it was a floating
pile of garbage, Like it can'tbe more black and white for you.
So if you vote for him and you,just at this point, you get
what you get and I hope youlearn from that.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, you lay in your bed.
You know what I'm saying.
I don't know what the fuck I'msaying.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I mean yeah, no, the way you make your bed is how
you're going to lay in it.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, so yeah, you can't teach stupid.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I think the thing about it is a lot of people are
saying they looked at theeconomy, they looked at a lot of
things and they want to change,and they think that Donald
Trump is going to be able togive it to them.
And, with that being said, Ihave a challenge, not a
challenge.
I don't even want to say achallenge because it's not a
(18:44):
challenge, but over the last Idon't know how many years, I've
been hearing black RepublicansRepublicans in general saying
that Democrats haven't doneanything for black people in the
last 30 years.
I tend to disagree with that.
I think there's one, somethingbig, that just happened very
(19:05):
recently and it's still going on, but, um, that Donald Trump, I
think, is probably going to tryto kill, but I think that that's
something that was done forblack people but let's speak on
it.
Uh, the affordable care act.
There you go.
I honestly think that was donefor black people, because black
people are the ones mostdisparaged by the medical system
(19:27):
and not having access tohealthcare.
He's playing on Obama, though,no, but that's what he had to do
as a black president.
I don't think that man couldhave went out there and said I'm
doing something for blackpeople.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Because then we would have never seen another black
president.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
We've never seen another black nominee.
It benefited a lot of otherpeople too.
No, but he had to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
He had to do it under the guise of I'm doing this for
all Americans, so you don'tfall for, so you don't see the
play of no, I'm actually doingthis for black people, so you
just want to see the actualaction.
So yeah, so I think that thatis one thing that was done for
black people.
You can debate me on that ifyou want.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I don't care, nobody debates you.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
No, no, no, I'm just saying I'm talking to even the
viewers.
I'm saying debate me on that,if you want, but what I'm saying
is from the last four yearsTrump was in office.
Even though it's been aninterrupted eight years, we're
going to have eight years ofTrump.
I want you to really sit backand think about all the things,
(20:35):
mark them down.
Yeah, all the things that aRepublican government because
now that's what it is, I believe, even the Senate.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
They got the Senate, they got the House, I think, is
still in the air.
It's looking like it's probablygoing to go their way.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So they got the House , they got the Senate, they got
the Supreme Court, they got thepresidency.
So they got there's aRepublican government at this
point.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
And he stacked a lot of Republican judges last time.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So I want to see what I want black people to really,
really focus and really, reallymark down and think about what a
Republican government has donefor you.
Put the pros and cons together.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, because over the time, the last 30 years,
you're quick to tell me or quickto say what Democrats haven't
done.
So please, I would like for thenext four years, and even the
last four or previous to this,what was done for you during
that time.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, I see what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It's pretty much go ahead and put the list together.
I'm open-minded on this.
No, like I said, as I've gottenolder, as I've gotten older, I
can honestly say I've evenbecome more conservative.
There's a lot of things thatconservative, there's a lot of
conservative views that I canactually agree with.
Um, but at the same time, I doI'll never forget I'm.
(22:00):
I'm still broke now, but I'llnever forget being broke, like
actually being down.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Broke, broke, broke yeah, you know what I'm saying.
And then broke, not like broke,as in like you, the situation.
No, I mean like Like broke,because it literally is.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
You're in the situation Like dog.
I'm talking about a dollar inmy bank account, bro, like
dollar to my name.
No, that's what I'm saying andI'm not and don't know where the
next dollar going to come from.
Yeah, it's been a hot minute,so I've been like I've been down
yeah, you know what I'm sayingand like, and a lot of things
have been unemployment programs,whatever things have worked out
(22:34):
for me, extended programsthrough whatever government have
worked out for me and hasallowed me to stay afloat, to
the point that now I'm able tobe more self-sufficient.
Now Go ahead, mark.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Well, I think a lot of the things that you're
talking about is are like, like,like you know, these different
programs and safety net, sort ofthings that the Republicans
will now call communism orsocialism and demonize, but
those are the same things that alot of their base, you know,
are benefiting from.
So a lot of the base, even thewhite people, the poor white
(23:10):
people in the South, a lot ofthem, are on Social Security,
and then they're also demonizingsocialism.
Social Security has social inits name, Like it literally is
socialism right there, and thenthey'll hate on it.
You know, my, my wife, who'sfrom brazil, she's, uh, you know
, she's telling me she knows aupairs and this, and that, who,
who are just getting their greencard now, and this and that,
and, and they're, you knowthey're saying, oh man, I'm so
(23:32):
glad I got it now because, uh,you know, I you know, trump is
in yeah and uh and this and that, but then they're the same type
of people who will vote forTrump and whatnot, of course,
and then it's like and they'repro-Trump, but then it's like
they don't have empathy, evenfor themselves six months ago,
when they were in the program,and if Trump was the president,
then they'd be out, you know.
(23:52):
So once you have the power oronce you have that next level
status, it's hard to have thatempathy for the people below you
or even where you were on theway before you got to the next
level.
It is replaced with this apathyand you know I'm sorry to break
you down.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
So the thing about it is a lot of things a lot of
countries outside of Americaknow now there's a better
situation.
They'll get where they are nowbecause if, once you're in,
you're in, you're an American.
And again Trump pretty muchsays all right, you know what,
if you vote for me, you'reAmerican.
Until I don't think you'reAmerican, yeah, and so, of
(24:28):
course, like I said, as an aupair, let me get in so I can be
an American, so I can make themoney that I know is possible.
That's always been the Americanway, but it's even more now.
Yeah, even more now, even morenow.
And because, again, this iswhat I have a problem with,
because I don't know.
And then again I don't know andI have to do a survey to really
(24:48):
feel like, what does othercountries feel about us?
How this a clown, or pretty much, it's literally a, it's a, it's
a, um, it's a reality show tothem.
Yeah, it's literally a realityshow.
It's.
It's not what they're used toseeing when their parents grew
up or whatever.
It's now like, all right, ifthis motherfucker is a convicted
felon to become a president, Idefinitely have a chance.
(25:11):
Well, like, or it's not.
And I'm saying and I wastalking.
I'm sorry, I was talking aboutyour dad, talking to your dad
about, yeah, they should changethe rules of that.
You know, convicted felonsshould be able to vote now
because if the president is afelon, regardless of how felons
light or dark or whatever youwant to call it, now you should
let me do what I can do becauseit's okay.
(25:32):
That's what, like I'm.
It's kind of like I'm lookingforward to find out.
Like Asa's talking about thereality show of like let's see
what happens right.
Yeah, the reality show of like,let's see what happens right.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Let's see if they it shoots themselves in a, in a
back or in a, pretty much,you're going to kill yourself,
dig yourself a hole or holy fuck, it's a whole different.
It's a whole new world.
Whole new world is changingright now that you can do
whatever you can and stillbecome whatever you want.
That's it Literally.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
This was happening, no consequence, whatever you
want, that's literally.
This was happening, noconsequences.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I mean, let's find out how it's going to go in
every.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
let's find out how it's going to go in every way,
because I'm like I said, I'minterested to see, because now
I'm really focused on it.
I'm trying to be open-mindedand seeing what the difference
is between a Republican and aDemocratic government.
So I'm trying to see what, howthis stuff is going to go.
(26:24):
I want to see what is going tohappen within the next four
years.
How much damage is going to bedone?
Yeah, because I mean justlittle things about the
reproductive.
I have little girls.
Yeah, and hopefully that theywill never need to grow up and
have abortions.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Well, we're good in Maryland.
We just got that enshrined herein the state I was going to say
that's where, yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
See, but that's the other thing.
But that's where the otherthing is.
Also congratulations to AngelaAltshuler-Brooks.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, making it into the Senate as a black
woman.
Also, give her props.
She's from PG.
She's literally born and raisedfrom PG, so we should talk
about that and we got Wes Moore.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Definitely that we have Wes Moore as our governor.
But yeah, I mean just the wholeidea of this is where you have
to understand that it's moreimportant to focus on your local
legislative government Exactly.
Vote local, I mean.
Focus on your county, focus onyour state, things like that.
Come to DV, Because that'swhat's going to honestly keep
(27:24):
you safe, Exactly In statesDifferent states are different.
If I can make it as simple aspossible, weed is still
federally illegal, but inindividual states it's legal.
Different, yeah, becauseindividual states are allowed to
govern themselves Exactly.
So Come to DV.
Focus on.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
All three states are legal.
So come to DMV.
Focus on all three.
Yeah, I mean yeah.
Focus on your local.
You know your local government.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
When you're voting, please Weed everywhere.
I don't smoke, weed everywhere.
The other thing, as Ace wassaying, you know just to look at
the next four years of Trump,the other thing is just not just
look inward on the small, youknow local election and then
America as a whole, but as theworld in total, because a lot of
things hang in the balance withTrump.
You know Ukraine, gaza, youknow a lot of these other
international issues and Putinis not.
(28:12):
If he gets Ukraine, I mean he'snot going to stop at Ukraine.
You know Europe is all you knowon his menu right now.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I mean from what people are saying, because, like
I said, I've been doing a lotof research on this so I've been
trying to figure things out.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
So keep it short.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
But people are saying that Trump is is cool with all
these guys and he can kind oftalk them off the ledge, exactly
.
So let's see if, once again, ifTrump can stop some wars, since
we'll see I mean he didn't getus into any wars.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
He didn't, he didn't.
He didn't get us into any wars.
So let's see if he can stopsome wars.
Yes, that's huge.
And again, we will keep talkingabout this because again, this
is again a reality show.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Oh no, this is going to be a constant thing.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
This is going to be a constant thing and I know Mark
is really looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Big T is back in office.
We are about to have once againthe most entertaining president
back on TV.
