Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game. We Just Understood the Assignment

understand the assignment. That's all you gotta do. You let the bosses figure out what we're doing. If you're a foot soldier, just run the play. If you got issues, you got problems with the play, let me tell you where the door is. If you're gonna you're gonna address your problems. As long as you address them in here. I mean, you might get replayed, but you don't tell nobody outside this door. If you got issues, and when the popo come and ask questions, you know the script,

or at least you post to know the script. Listen, run to play, understand the assignment. Hey, you know what I'm saying. And at the end, of the day. Listen, don't hate the player, hate the game. Let me tell you something. The Republicans understood the assignment. Don't hate the player, hate the game. We got two things. We gotta discussing this one because good god, these boys understood the assignment.

Cood politics, y'all. What's up, y'all? This was a very difficult show to put together because of just there's a lot of emotional investment in this. As y'all know, I am not. This ain't a hot take type show. This ain't a breaking news type show. This is a yo, what the hell is happening type show. I just want to help you understand what the hell is happening. I feel like I'm glad I waited because I was gonna do a January six show by itself, and then the

Supreme Court got all the smoke it wanted, y'all. I don't know if y'all remember, like I think there was like episode seventeen and I said, Supreme Court wants all the smoke. They're gonna take on guns, They're gonna take on abortion. I told you this was gonna happen. Well, it's not like I was the only one that said this. Was gonna happen. And then I told you about Mitch McConnell's play. Play was judges the whole time to play

with judges. And I told you all during when those documents leaked over the Supreme Court that here's the setup. Either the Republicans gonna get the greatest three sixty double pump reverse dunk of our lifetime by actually overturning Roe v. Wade. Like if they do that, I'm like, Yo, They're gonna go down in history books. They this is this is the Jordan flu game. Like it's you this Kobe scoring

eighty if you, if you, if you're a Republican. And as someone so eloquently stated in my TikTok comment sections, it's also easy to score when no one's playing defense. Oh my gosh, your certification, Nikki, you can like retire now. If you're a Democrat. It's like, fam, has anyone ever fumbled this bad? Like, remember you'll remember it's talking about this. I was like, Yo, this is gonna be. This is gonna be the same event. Is gonna be the greatest

dunk and the greatest fumble. I keep saying to myself, you got a Democrat majority I'm not you see how I'm not saying the left because this ain't really the left. You know what I'm saying, like who in charges the moderate Republicans who are like kind of lightweight, right, there's there's still we have still two very pro capital you know what I'm saying parties. They just it's not now a family the Democrats, right, the easiest lay up. I'm like,

this was y'all. They didn't clear the lane for you, like you, they didn't lower the rim for you. All you had to do was legalized marijuana. This was a that's a free throw. This is like and and and like okay, legalized marijuana and defend your fifty point lead, big out. Okay, So a few years I'm doing a lot of basketball things because, like I need you to understand how egregious this mug is from a Again, I'm not even talking about specific yet. I'm talking about just

the the pol ticks of it all. Okay, I'll get it to the specifics a little later. But dog, when Golden State was playing i think their first or second NBA Finals against Cleveland and Lebron James, Golden State was up three to one and you win all you need. It's best of seven. If you don't know basketball, the NBA Finals are the best of seven. So if you get to four games immediately, then it's over because you

can't you understand it is only before to three. So if you have, if you up three games to one, all you do is win one more game. That's your It's in the bag. It's over. Golden State was up three to one and blew it. Lebron and Cleveland and them. They won four games straight in the finals, and and that's never happened. No one's ever blown a three one lead in the finals. It was almost like, is this rigged? Like how did y'all let that? How do you blow

a three one league? So I'm looking at the Democrats, and I'm like, how you blow this league? You had a president? You following the president? Now, now listen, far be it from me to get my Dunning Krueger on you know Dunning Krueger Head asked, I'm saying this clearly from a podcasting booth in Boyle Heights, California. You know East l A, Los Angeles, Boyle Heights neighborhood. What do I know? I ain't ever ran from no office. I ain't nothing but a voting citizen who attempts to participate

in lobbying, grassroots organizing, and understanding geopolitics. So don't let me Dunning Krueger this, I'm saying, no, you following Donald Trump, who, which is the other part of this show, let an insurrection on a proven lie where even his own squad was trying to tell him, Fam you tripping, We're gonna run to play for you. But Big, if you say this, we all leave it. If you do this, we all

leave it. You're gonna run an empty office. And and again like the level of gangster that these people have in the sense that when it came down to it, they sing it. Remember I talked about a long time ago. I asked the homie Bamboo, Hey, how many years you gotta throw the person before they start snitching? And it's like I probably tend because you could do You could do one year. That's a vacation. You could do two years, maybe five if you really with the ship, you could

do five, ten years, twenty years. Put somebody in prison like that. And I'm talking hardcore gangsters. I'm talking niggas that just institutionalized. You just learned how to put fear and emotions like killed that part of them as teenagers that are like, no, we're murderous now of course, as a generation before me that are like I'll do I'll do five life. I'm never telling I'm not talking about them.

I'm talking about your person who feel like I may have a life after this ten years, somebody gonna turn some evidence the little white boys trying to overturn, overturn a duly elected official. Do you think they're gonna do time for you? I would get into this later, but the nick is called Trump for partners. Trump ain't part not near one of them. And they was like, okay, we see how it is. Committee, let's talk. You ain't got that back to that, got yours? You know what's right? So, uh,

you're following this. You got a whole party, half of the party's brain been cooked by Q and on you then and if you and if you and if you're a democrat like you know you the consolation prize, Like all you had to be was a functioning adult. I mean you got a three one lead big dog like this is you did? Did you're mark the person? You trying and jump in metaphors, but the person you're trying to kill. I don't know. If y'all watch Barry Do

y'all watch Berry Berry one of the funniest shows. I'm hip to Bury where anyway it's It's it's Bill Hayter. He supposed to be this assassin and there's just one more where he supposed to be killing this dude. But the people that hired him are telling him not to shoot. But he looking at the guy. The dude is stretching, doing like all out in the open, not paying attention in broad daylight, standing by his car, read the paper, stretching his arms. He's just like, oh my god, this

shot can't be any clearer. I could kill this guy right now. Like this your situation. You had an open like, you had a majority, you had a majority in the Congress, you got a majority in the Senate. You got a colored woman as your vice. This is a layup. How you finna get mopped upcoming mid term? Who got any sense? Who's looking at what happened? And it's like, oh you finniget moped And the answer they've given you is, well, we had a lot to fix. We had a lot

of messages that Trump and old Mitch McConnell made. So I need you all to go out and vote and let your voices like Nigga, we went out and voted. That got you in place. Now you blew a three one, big dog. How did you throw? How in the how do you blow a lead like this? I'm gonna tell you exactly how. But you can't hate the player. You gotta hate the game. And let me tell you what the game is, single issue voters. Let's take a break.

All right, we're back. So I bring up single issue voters for this because I can tell you not only anecdotetally or personally, go back and look at any sort of polls, statistical data taking about Republican electorate during the time Trump was running for president, and their answer was very simple. We're not very simple. Actually their answer was anything but simple, but it was this, I just can't get over the abortion thing. I know Trump is weird, I know he's got problems, I know he's I don't

agree with anything he stands for. I just can't. I can't get myself to vote for someone who would be pro abortion. That was that was the play, and so all Trump had to do or any Republican leader for that matter is hit that button, hit the Roe v Wade. But because as my man Robert Evans said very eloquently, and it's the point, and it was, and it was kind of like, hey man, you just revealed the next episode is you really ain't gotta know how to govern. You don't have to do things in any in the

best interests of even the people voting for you. It don't matter hit the right button because there's something that is a deal breaker for them, that's a nonstarter, and that nonstarter will make you will override every possible nuance, every possible complication. You're not gonna think about none of it because it's one thing matters. And this here isn't

even the dispeople that think like that. If you're just like listen, dude, like this is the hill I'll die on because this particular hill flows from that mountaintop flows all the other issues. Like if I get this wrong, then how can I trust you on anything else? So there are I understand when we have some non negotiables. I I get it. I'm talking about the political play though. Now listen, I think in some ways I'm a West Coast single intrat voter. I like I gonna put myself

on the line here. Listen, you will never hear me slander or West Coast artists. I'm just not gonna do it. Like I don't like them all. Maybe I don't. But if he's from the coast, I'm a ride for you know what I'm saying. Like, maybe I'll talk, maybe I'll talk about Homie, you know, off Mike, but you ain't gonna ever hear me this. Nobody from the West. Not no, no, not not not he from the coast. I'm just look, I'm gonna say when it comes to hip hop, I'm

a single issue voter West Coast. You know what I'm saying. And listen, you think I don't know how absurd that is. I know that's absurd. That don't mean I don't like nobody else. That just means West Coast on mine l a oh my, It's just it is. I E. S G V L A Valley Fox Lord all the way up to the Bay West West. I know, single issue voter.

So if you can lock us in and as long as you stick to the plan, as long as you step to the script, get whatever you need done, and you can get away with whatever you won't, So let's talk about the insurrection. So January six Committee, if you don't understand, this is a probe just to be like, Okay, what the hell happened and how responsible directly is former President Trump for the sieging of the capital on January six. This is not a criminal investigation. This is to recommend

whether we should have a criminal investigation or not. So remember that this ain't the thing yet. This is to see if there could be a thing. And all they can do again is recommend. Now the play by player this there's way too many moving parts for a thirty minute podcast for me to try to go play by play, but I can give you an overview of what I mean by These people understood the assignment and they ran

to play. And that's what made That's what makes this very clear to me, is these white boys understood the game so much so that they knew when to abandon ship. And that's this was really blowing my mind. Is yeah, they they had their line. You have a bunch of different advisors, attorneys, people behind the scenes that don't ever get on camera. And if there's one thing that you have to understand about how the government works is the dude on camera is not the one you gotta worry about,

you know. We always saw yea, it's the quiet ones. You gotta watch what I'm saying. It's not the dude on camera. You feel me, that's just the face, you know. It's people behind the scenes that actually make the stuff go down, make the stuff click, make the stuff work. And if them fools roll out, you got nothing right. And for a long time, nobody testified, nobody was willing to talk. And I was really impressed by they gett it by being like, I'm not gonna talk, and why

why were not willing to talk? And here's my here's my thought is because they was counting on Trump to pardner this crow talk about like, man, it's thirty different people called that boy for pardons. They thought, I told you this right for the set, right for the bus. They thought, Yo, if we ride for this man, because the gamble is he's gonna be president again, So yo, if we ride for him, he gonna remember that because that's how Trump works. Trump works by strictly loyalty and

incompetence is loyalty. Go out there and run the play. That's all that matters for him. Go run to play. So the play was and this was fresh out of his mouth. He looking at the Justice Department, very all of the assistant district attorneys, everybody needs like listen, all you have to say is something was corrupt, something was a right, and we will do the rest. We as in me and the Republican Party, We'll do the rest. All you got to do is confirmed that something may right.

And they all look to him, going, you lost, because I'm not feeling there's we have no fam, we have no evidence of what you're saying happened. But he still got his squad, who one of the lawyers called the people that were like, they were like, no, this fool's gone, you Tripp, and he called them the normal team. Normal you got Jeff rose And testified on Thursday that the Justice Department held firm against the political pressure to take

sides in the election results. Rosen said that he told Trump that the Department could not seize voting machines from states because it was nothing wrong with the machines naked. There's you fam. Now, it's not like I trust these white boys like they could be like hey, I mean, I tried to tell him, I mean, we tried to

tell him, I look, I wasn't it. I mean, ire like, okay, fam, you might be you might be cutting the real thick out here, singing like a bird because you thought, you know what I'm saying this on the abandoned ship tip. I don't know. You might be saving your own booty. Maybe. All I know is they like, look, man, We tried to tell him, Now, look, they understand the assignment. You don't go say that out loud. You don't go say

that to the public. You say it to him. My dude, we can't go do this like there's famin, there's nothing wrong with it. I don't and said that. Trump kept getting agitated, and in three days before the riot, Trump was presented this idea of replacing active Attorney General Jeff Rosen, who was the dude that was like, listen, fam, I can't. I can't just go change the things with Jeff Clark, who was super down to be like, hey, look, there's

a way we could do this. If you know, if your boy Pens don't acknowledge the electors, then uh, we might be able to pull this off. So that little inception thing was planted in his head. Pen was like fam, this ship is ceremonial, Like you really think I could change it? Like, like again, the stuff I'm telling you, y'all should already know by now. It's like, Fam, this is saramony an. I can't what are you? What are

you trying to do? Then they had this plan they try to do it down in Michigan where they said they just picked some new electors and sent them down there, and the Michigan elected officials was like, no, fam, our electors already in there. It's like, no, you have more. They were just trying to send dudes that was gonna choose Trump despite what was voted for, Like this thinger was grabbing for everything he could possibly get. And what we're seeing in this probe is that nobody is under

any delusion that what we're doing is criminal. There's no doubt the mix. They know what they do it is and that's the hood part. It's like, oh, no, we know it's a crime. Like that's not the question. Ain't no true believers out this ship. We're committing capital crimes here? Question is is this even feasible? Is the juice worth to squeeze? Because like I'm I'm here to the wheels

fall off. But you in Kukoo Land remember when Jojo was on here that at some point you'd be like, Okay, man, I'm just not gonna listen to this, and we're just not gonna listen to this, ol G. You know what I'm saying, Like, at some point you realize this man is in an altered universe. For some reason, it took these people four years to realize he was in an altared universe. But nonetheless, when them pardons didn't come, we would see who was really hardcore, who was really about

this work, do you know what I'm saying? And who just understood the assignment and ran the play, Because when it comes down to it, look, I ain't going to jail for you because you wasn't willing to protect me from this. You just as a bridge too far. I'll tell you what though, let me tell you what I learned from Let me tell you what I learned from this January six probe is that very few true believers.

I think the point about Rudy Giuliani being drunk on the night of the election being like, hey, never concede. I'm like, okay, this ain't news in the sense that fam everybody drunk that night, and of course, Rudy Giuliani hammered, why the hell you listening? Why does anybody listening to this man? That's not news. That man ain't no dog. Listen. Who ain't got an uncle Rudy? Who in this world ain't got an uncle Rudy? Think about all that, Rudy, Judy,

who ain't got an uncle Rudy. You ain't puposed to listen to Uncle Rudy. You shouldn't conceeed man, Uncle Rudy. If you don't sit down, you want some coffee, Uncle Rudy, like, man, off of that man, some coffee. Tell him to go set down somewhere. Rudy drunk, Hey, Rudy said, don't concede. What a fan. But yeah, there's plenty of coverage on step by steps as to what happened there. They ran to play. They understood the assignment. But that's not the

only thing these people understood. That ain't the only player was running. We gotta talk about the Supreme Court play after this break. All right, y'all listen. To understand this moment, you have to go back fifty years, maybe even sixty years. You have to go so far back to understand this play. Also, in addition to this, you gotta understand what it means when you get put on. When you get put on, you don't owe anybody anything except for the people to

put you on. I don't care what you voted for, whoever got the whoever put the bag in place, it got me put on. They call the shots. I don't owe none of you. I don't care what you voted for. I care what you think about what we're doing. I'm here for those who put us on. You want to understand the Supreme Court. You want to understand the Republican Party thing about that. They only owe stuff that whoever put them on. Understand the n r A. You understand any of that. Who put you on, that's who you

run for. Now from a tactical standpoint, brilliant. Now the play is the is the Supreme Court. It's the power play. We've covered this many times that the goal was always judges, because at some point your elected terms are going to end. Right, But if you want legacy, if you think of miss Mconnam, Mconna thinking legacy, if you want legacy, you need to have people in place. And again, like I told you, before. You ain't worried about being on the camera. You ain't

worried about like, oh, Mitch, Mitch, ain't. Mitch ain't running for no president. He's like, that's too much heat. I can't get this ship done, like I like to get done. Now, I'll let y'all do that. Yeah, y'all go ahead and do that. I'm running to play. I know how this game works, and he worked this game, and I'm gonna argue Trump was just a part of his game. Trump running his own play, but Mitch, Mitch had to play.

That play was judges. I would like to stress enough that I feel like Mr McConnell been a senator as long as I've been alive, Like I just I don't know when he's ever not been in in government, you know what I'm saying. Like the man just understands the game. And it ain't just the Supreme Court. You know, many courts are under the Supreme Court. Now, you just you put goons in every corner. You put them in every place, and if you put them in place, they're gonna always

owe you something. Mitch running to play and in a way that I look, the Republicans understood the assignment, and as everybody saw, they was able to switch that courts over. It took him a while, but they was able to switch the Supreme Court to a six three on their side. Now, like we said before, the Supreme Court doesn't have to be nine people. It as a matter of fact, Constitution doesn't state at all. It just says we need to have one. It as in the Supreme Court, it just

says we need to have one. They don't say how many will like that don't matter, it don't say it. We just figured it out and we just kind of stuck with nine because of the politicist politic coalization. Sometimes you gotta say something slow of course, which again, remember like I said before, as our history history teacher had on, the courts were supposed to be the furthest away from politics.

They were supposed to be because they needed to be as unbiased as they possibly can until Marbarry versus Madison, when President figured out, yo, I could actually weaponize these fools, and that's what they did. So we've been the courts have been weaponized for a while. Like so, and they like listen, don't hate again, don't hate the player, hate the game. They did it. They got their dudes in place.

Democrats could have done the same thing. And but you know what, Republicans ran defense when we when Mary Garland could have been could have in a Supreme court, they ran to play. I mean like it was I look, they ran to play and they got him blocked. But then they got their guy in. That was the play. It sucks, but that was the play. So the play was to get your dudes in. And how you're gonna get your dudes and you tell them and say what you need to say? What I overturn Roe v Wade? No,

of course not man, that's law. Why would I overturn that? Bro? Say what? You gotta understand the assignment and run to play. So to play. What I'm trying to get at is the play goes back to the idea of a single issue voter. It's when all the way back to Nixon, when the right figured out the concept of the silent majority,

which is another way to say racist white people. Let's just be real, right, So you weaponize their grievances, You give them poe topics to be worried about, right, Philish slapp lely in them and the and you know and the John Bird society all this stuff like gon do your history like you create you know, Jerry Folwell Senior. You create this block, you feel me and you tell them what their issues are, guns, free market capitalism, private schools,

anti communists, and abortion. You tell them that stay issue right, and you use terms like pro life, because if you run the board like that, if you use terms like that, then anybody who's not pro life sounds like you pro death like you. I mean, you ran, They ran to play. You know what else the play is? We talked about this before the players. You getting in and you define the terms. I'm telling you what woke means. I'm telling you what alternative fact. I'm telling you what fake news means.

I'm telling you what critical race theory means. That don't matter what it means. I'm telling you what it means. They ran to play. You know, you get your base. You know you you run off grievances, You get your base up in there. You can do what the hell you won't as long as you hit these notes. I mean,

I'm an artist. I've seen you know, you get an R and B singer up there, like I don't know if y'all saw the ray j versus You know what I'm saying, I'm not gonna drag ray J because the O G I'm wearing, I'll be wearing raycon you know, head votes. But look, the play work like this. Look if you can't hit no note, nigked, look Homi, just shirt off, posting water on your six pack? Embody roll got them? You know what I'm saying, that's what they

there for. You feel be. Don't nobody to care if you can sing a not except for some people care if you can sing or not. You know what I'm saying, take shut off, body Roll. You got them? So you so you so you hit these notes right, these issue notes, and that's what's gonna keep people in the fold. And then you could just convince everybody. If you're not on these notes, you against us. This is another way of saying identity politics right like in this sense, if you

don't agree with this, you're not one of us. There's no room for nuance. I believe nuances sacred work. I believe nuances necessary not only your politics and your religion and your faith. You know what I'm saying, in your family's nuances necessary. You can't really govern if you don't understand nuance. But if you have nuance, you probably can't win. These people came to win. You run to play now Roe v. Wade. That's just one of the plays. Do you know how many other things passed while we talked

about this? Listen to this. So one of the players they ran. One of the things that came out with something I talked about in the Supreme Court wants All the Smoke thing, which is this idea that like, for you to have an open carry in New York, you have to prove that you have a special situation, that you mentally stable right, and that you're gonna be reasonable about it, and you have to have a permit for it.

So they ended that, I mean, you ain't gotta get a permit, you ain't gotta prove a special circumstance, and you ain't gotta prove that you don't have mental issues. She could just walk around with you. So that was one of it. So that happened, right, and that's why a lot of people One of my favorite, one of the dopest tweets I saw it was the sister Suba, she's a comedian. She tweeted, how do I become a gun that's hilarious, y'all. Joe saying like like just go

gon connect the dots. But that's one thing said. They was like, look, we're gonna get your We're gonna get you all your guns. I don't hate the player, hate the game. We're gonna get you all your guns. So when you strike this down again, it goes back to the States. So now states go, oh, nigge green light. So we ain't gotta like we got oh, we're good, okay. And the idea that you was able to get less restrictions on guns in a season where we got most shootings,

it's fair. So here go another one. This one is a little This is when you get in the wheels. This too, like yo, you got paid attention. In Maine, there's a situation where you have these like areas where you got these kids who live in these like rules spread out areas that there is no like public school

for right. So but those kids need an education. So Maine came up with this program where the government will pay the tuition for these kids to go to private schools because there ain't no school, there's no school for them to go to, so they got to go to something. So they said, yeah, well, well the the state will provide the funds for this school to be able to take these students. But some of those schools are religious schools, you know, Christian Cavil whatever, right, and those schools have,

since they're privately ran, have some discriminatory practices. They don't hire l G B t Q teachers, they expel trans students. There are all these different things that like according today, personal buy laws that they're they discriminate over. But now they're taking government money. But the government money is like, well, yo, well if you're gonna take our money, then you gotta

follow our rules. Well, the Supreme Course says, now you ain't gotta follow those rules, so we can send you there and we're gonna give you the money for it, but you don't have to submit yourselves to the same governance that a public school does, even though you get in public school money. So they get the money. Where out the oversight Supreme Court ran to play. Here go another one. You are no longer allowed to sue the police department if they don't read you your Miranda rights.

You know, you have a right your main silent. A lot of times if like a cops skips all that. You know, it's not like we don't all know them, but they that's like part of the job, like come on, man like, but now you know you can't sue them if they well, look, man, the cop forgot. I can't

sue him for forgetting. They ran to play. Now your confession is still like admissible, like you can't nobody can, like in court if you weren't Miranda, I is your confession don't count Like that's that's still there, but you just can't sue the cops. And finally, the play of all plays, the play that kicked in fifty years ago, and I was overturning Roe v. Wade. Now what do we mean by overturning Roe v. Made If you don't know,

I'll get into the weeds a little bit. Here is for a long time, laws around abortion we're at the state level, like and it was kind of a patchwork, you know, of which state allows it offer services, you know, all this good stuff, and you'd have to like drive you know, across country across state to do these things or what those things used to having, like these like back alley abortions where sisters would you know, it just sounds awful, like sisters would just like hangers or just

in the alley just have somebody like yo, pay me fifty bucks, I'll do it for you, and like who's it was terrible? Right, So if anything, it was like, Okay, we need to ensconch in federal law that like, look, dude, you have a right to get one, man, you have a right not to get one. Like That's one of the parts that like, I feel like we just don't understand as a nation how your rights work. You have a right to something, you have a right to turn that thing down. Just because you have a right to

something doesn't mean you are compelled to do something. You feel me like that being said, like like you don't have to don't have to get abortion, you know what I'm saying. It's just saying. But if somebody do, like they got the right to was the federal law right. So what this did was say, well, I don't know if we can make this a federal law, maybe we should leave this to the states. And that these things

that were called trigger laws. So thirteen states immediately said if Roe v. Wade was ever overturned, we find an outlaw abortion. Some states were like except for you know, cases of rape or incest. Some states were like, nah, fam, this crazy you tripping, and then other states like California, was like, okay, then we need to make sure we sure up our our access to abortion like laws and spaces like we need to shore up our our our stuff. Right. The point I'm making in this is not necessarily how

I feel about Roe v. Wade. It's that this was their play, and this play only works if there's no such thing as nuance. The way that we explain this to you is, well, it's murdered. I mean, you killing babies. Who gonna argue with killing babies? Yo, saying like and and if you could just say, hey, well like at least I'm not a baby killer, then I don't have to understand nothing else. That was the play, and good

god it worked again. Nuance makes you a pretty decent human, makes you understand life more, but it don't make you win, at least in our system. If you're gonna win, you gotta play the game the way the game is played. And that's what the hell the Republicans did. Now that being said, let me take my teacher hat off, well not my teacher had off. Let me take my my, uh little politics hat off and just speak to y'all

real quick. I keep talking about nuance, and I feel remiss if I don't get into some of these nuances I told you before on the last time we talked about rov Wait, I was like, Yo, this is mouth thorny. Anybody who grew up in a church, you know, at least a Western church out here, like especially in the shadow of what I just talked about, like the culture Wars stuff like abortion was we was taught he was cut and dry. We but we was never afforded the

freedom again to think of things in nuance. So even jumping over that hurdle, now, granted, there are plenty of churches, uh using the church example that art snarsly pro choice and it's that's they've already processed this stuff, just like there are plenty of churches that are lgbt Q Afferman like it's don't don't let the loud ones fool you.

But anyway, I kind of it allowed while the ways like backed off because I was like, listen, dude, like I know I'll never be pregnant, you know what I'm saying. And I'm like, you know, a little personal news like, I mean, I'm in a happy marriage and we're don't have a children. I've been snipped like I'm shooting blanks. You know what I'm saying. Uh. And I did it as like listen to me. I got it from the

helmy bamboo. I did it as an act of feminism because I was like, as terrifying as this is to have somebody put a knife towards the junk, I was like, Yo, this is fifteen minutes. It's barely invasive. And I'm like, yeahn man. Like when we first got married, you know, my wife was on birth control pills and what that was doing to her chemistry. I was like, man, I can't. It's just like that's not dope the idea of like a full Hitt director. He's just taking organs like how

much that. I was like, Yo, that's tubes tied like all this stuff. I'm like, man, that it's just so it's just in the human and human it's just so invasive that just me, just as a person who understands other persons, I was like, fam, like, it's cool, I just do this. I was scared, don't get me wrong, but that's because yeah, in my ask for me and my house. I would not want to choose to terminate a pregnancy. Now you want to get into the weeds and say that when we was on, when we was

doing birth control, that we would terminating pregnancies. Maybe, I don't know. That's type of stuff that like, can God make a rock so big that he can't move it? Tight talk? You know what I'm saying. Did Adam and Eve have navels? You know what I'm saying, Like, that's that type of talk to me that I'm like, I don't know, man, I don't need to like, you know, I don't need to get into that. That's that's that naval gazing to me. It was like in my could

I consciously? Could I Jason consciously? And I'm like, I personally, I don't think I can. So I'm gonna do what I need to do. And of course, given the right circumstances, you know what I'm saying, Like, of course I'm gonna try to save my wife's life, Like that's what do you? Of course I am you know what I'm saying, But just snip up. But I just can't imagine how excruciating that decision would be. But at the end, of the day. Yo, it's not even my decision. I'm not carrying the baby.

I can just do some input, you know what I mean. But what I can do is my part right to not put myself in that situation. Now that's Jason, that's problem. I ain't telling nobody else to do that. I'm talking about me, right. But I think when you start talking about abortion, like I said, if you just make it as simple as babies, I mean, like you can't that mean we have a matter of fact, I almost wish

it was. I wish it was that. I wish that was the play I wish to play, truly, was babies, because if it was, we'd have something to talk about. Now we can talk about paid maternity lead, now we can start talking about affordable health care. Hell, we don't even got no we don't even got simulact Like, we don't even got baby formula. You ain't got my nity leave, you ain't got like, we ain't got no services. If it was about the babies, then why then what did

y'all doing to our elementary schools? What is y'all doing to our prisons? Like? If if you was pro life, then let's let's talk about it. I feel like we have something to discuss there. It just don't. I'm just saying all all signs point the opposite way, that that's not what the hell you meant. Now. For for some people, it is that simple. It is like, well, no, Like I know a lot of like Christian religious leaders that are like, no, we're wounded to the tomb. Pro lifers

that are like, all these things need to happen. You know what I'm saying, you need to I don't. I would. I would love to see a world where abortions aren't necessary unless there's a situation like a septic uterus or things where it's like, you know, Mama could die and I'll show you in the scriptures when it was times where Mama could die and it was like, oh, well, you know what I'm saying, like, well she, I mean it's it's killing her, and your child on the inside

of you is also be and slowly tortured. And I mean there's no I mean, there's no normal, Like every situation is different for every woman, you know what I'm saying. So I can't even call that. But there are some I know, some like religious leaders that are like no, I know some other religious leaders that are like, what, like, it's not my place, dog, Like that's her body, you know what I'm saying, Which at the end of the day, are we talking about babies? Are we talking about this

woman's body? But like, and to me, it's just my opinion, if we were talking about the babies, then the other things would be on the table. It sounded me like you just talking about their bodies. And remember I told you if you have a version of justice, Like again, I can't stress this book enough. Michael sandellas books called what is Justice? If you have a definition of justice that says, what is just is the way the world should be. So we need to all aspire to what

things should be. And oftentimes that's out and above us. But you're appealing to something. This is why this should be. That's appealing to something always seems to appeal to people of faith because they believe that justice comes from outside of us. Right, so in their world, follow me, there should not be anything such thing as trans There should not be anything such thing as as gay and lesbian,

like it shouldn't be there. Therefore, there should be no such thing as abortion, because every person conceived would be in a heterosexual marriage and a healthy family, so we should all aspire to that. Therefore, why would you make a compliation accommodations for anything else, because nothing else should be there. That's the definition of justice. This is why you make laws to try to make what you believe the world should be as. But the problem is that's

not what is here. We are right. But now back to the young lady. However I feel about that person or not, it don't matter. I'm just saying, like, yo, like, fam, you don't think you don't think this lady not thinking about all this stuff. I mean, it's like if you're gonna make every character of this of these ladies as somebody who was just like you know, spring break, you know what I'm saying, and then just show up a month later and it's like, oh, well, I got another one.

Better knock this one out. Like, I mean, come on, that's a very specific you you feel me like, And even if it is that's all her, that's a very specific situation. Especially when you start talking about like late term abortion. I mean, you're talking about somebody who carried a baby eight months, that child got a name, They didn't bought cribs. You think this lady just decide. You think this lady just decided on the thirtieth day, Like,

you know what, I'm good. I know, like this is probably the most excruciating, difficult life altering at a level that listen, listen me, and you don't get if you let me tell you something, I don't want to get into pronoun and non binaries. I'm not gonna get into this. I'm gonna cut it like I'm gonna use Yaw's language. I'm gonna use the buyinary male and female language. If you're a man, you don't understand that feeling, I just like you, how can you? I'm just That's all I'm

trying to say, is like, how can you? I can't. I like, listen, I can't imagine that position. So to me, I'm like, I mean, yeah, dog like man, I mean, I don't wish I don't wish that moment on my wordst enemy you feel me. I don't wish that on nobody. So at the end of the day, you could think of like a million reasons why you feel a or

be about stuff. You know what I'm saying. I just think at the end of the day, this is these are these one topics that like, Man, if you ain't got nuanced, if you're not willing to really descend into the particulars and really understand and really put yourself into my else shoes, maybe you should shut the up because you don't understand the situation, you know what I'm saying. And I think maybe understand the person that's in the situation might be a better, better way to approach things.

But that's not what this pot is about. This pot is about running the play And let me tell you something, Say what you will. These fools got a law overturned. Damn. Don't hate the player, hate the game, or you better learn the game and know how to play the politics. Y'all. Yeah, this is here thing was recorded by Me Propaganda and E Slow Spoil Heights, Los Angeles, California. This mug was mixed, edited, mastered, and scored by Matt Osolski.
