Everyone Needs a Leimert Park

We're dumb, and so it wasn't like, really, I finally get to talk about some good news and believe it or not, it's about the Congress. I'm so excited. And there's some deep cut stuff. It was Watchington Post article and then they talked about it on the Slate gab Fest, which I'd recommend that show. Great show anyway. The best way to explain this is an area in Los Angeles called them part Everyone needs a Lamert part Hood politics. Y'all all right cha, I'm gonna take y'all on a

journey this episode. Some history, some relationship, some deep cut LA stuff, but really it's at the end of the Day's this all of us are watching because that's what's getting fed to our news feeds, and it's because it's really going down. It's like our government is just one

hundred percent dysfunctional, Like what is going on? And part of it is because, Yeah, there's too much money in dysfunction, you know what I'm saying, Like, you know, you you gained too much power and just and you know this type of cloud chasing and stoking anger and you just you know, you get people route. There's too much money in that. But at the same time, like government gotta work. Like it's crazy when you look at these people, you're like, y'all work at the same place, you know, Like how

y'all always never on the same page? You know. I don't know if you ever seen a couple that just always arguing. It's like, man, I thought y'all loved each other, like, you know, but at least with a couple like y'all, could I mean, y'all could ended you know what I'm saying. I think we're just like yo, like y'all have to figure out for the sake of all of us how to work together. And this is the story about you know, they did, and at least in this one little way.

The sister Amanda Ripley wrote this article for The Washington Post about this one way that hey, Congress kind of figured it out, and it just kind of reminded me of like La meurt Park. It just kind of reminded me of La and like, dang, yeah, Like at some point, man, like y'all look for everybody's sake, y'all gotta figure out how to live together. I'm not saying, don't rep your hood, don't rep y'r set, you know, hold down your section, but like dog man, like we all gotta live here. Man,

we didn't figure out something. If I could carry this metaphor and some a little more universal I'm gonna get into a little later, but like in you know, couples therapy, you know what I'm saying, At some point, when someone expresses or hurt, even if you think that's bull or you experienced it differently, a person just want to be hurt. You feel me like I want you to feel the

pain I felt. And you be surprised how far that goes, whether it's in your conflict mediation with your homies, with your loved one with your partner, or with streets or with Congress. People just want to be hurt. Okay, y'all, Like I said, your boy's been real diligent this year. So um, I'm a couple of couple of weeks ahead of y'all, which feels really good. I ain't gonna lie to you, know I'm saying, But sometimes it's it's I

don't need to keep explaining that. I want to talk to y'all about an area very special to meet personally, and I feel like there's probably some sort of comparison I would say in any city that has like struggled in any way with gang violence. I'm gonna try my best to not get in the weeds here about the extended history of this Lamert Park, but enough to just give y'all context as to what I'm trying to explain actually happened in the Congress, because again, this is good

news now in the city of Los Angeles. When I say the city of Los Angeles, I don't mean the surrounding areas. I saw this horrible take that by the Homey cav on stage on Twitter talking about the big city with the worst food culture is Los Angeles, and I'm like, okay, first of all, you up in the valley number one, and I don't need you putting the sins of Sherman Oaks or on the shoulders of Crenshaw. You want me picking another you want me pick another place?

How about this? If you're in Chicago, you know what I'm saying, don't be putting the sins of Aurora, of Hopmann Estates on the heads of Pilson. Let me want me, let me what other cities do I know? Well, okay, you in Houston, don't be putting humble Texas situations on my shoulder. You in Dallas, don't be putting Carrollton sins on my shoulders. Portland, you're in Portland, don't be giving

me no Tiger, no Hillsborough takes. That ain't Portland. So I mean specifically Los Angeles, and I'm gonna get even more specific. You could really see it when you fly into Los Angeles coming from well obviously coming from the east, but you know, sometimes if you're coming from the north, like you kind of go over the Pacific and land facing east rather than land facing west. Anyway, when you if you're coming into Los Angeles from the east of

the country. You know, you're starting out in in Way, and then like you'll see the Grand Canyon, then you see Phoenix, and then you're going to see this vast desert and that's like the Coachella Valley. Over this mountain thing, you're gonna see palm springs. And then all of a sudden, the Inland Empire starts and you're gonna fly over the Inland Empire. And then finally when the downtown skyline comes into place. This is where I want you to look.

There's that It looks like the freeway you're seeing coming out of downtown is the one ten Freeway and it's running north and south, and you're usually you're generally flying along the pathway of the one five. Right, if you're landing in lax And in this area, there's this wide grid. Right, it looks like a perfect and it's the only area that has this. As you're flying into the city, this perfect sort of rectangle blocks for as far as the

eye can see until you get to Sofi Stadium. Once you see like Inglewood, you your past what I'm talking about. By then you're you're pretty low. You're about to you're about to land. But in this grid area, this is what we refer to as South Central LA. This area has the streets that are running east and west are numbered right, So that's where we get things like Roland sixties,

you know, foties, thirties, the twenties. Right. It's because these are the blocks that run sort of east and west, and then the rocks that run north and south are some of the sort of the major streets. So it would start with you'd start with Guaroa, right, So these are the I'm skipping a lot of stuff, but essentially this is the area. Now there's one area that's almost now now I'm talking west of the one Tin Highway right freeway and south of the Eye ten that y'all

would call We just call it the Tin. Right. When you get north of the ten, you're in Fairfax District. It's mid city. It's it's about to become Beverly Hills in Hollywood, right. So that for native especially natives of color, like that area don't count. That's not what we're talking about unless you're talking about Koreatown, right, or Echo Park, which used to be predi active, you know what I'm saying. But that's north I'm not talking about that. I'm talking

about South what black folks. He is, right, Latino folks, well, Latinos are everywhere because there's just so many of y'all. Anyway, this grid, right is the birthplace of Crippen. Now. To be even more specific, gang banging really started in actually my grandma's neighborhood in the Fremont area on the east side,

because that used to be the major black area. But anyway, I digress, right, you can go a little further south you get the birthplace of the Bloods, you know, and and Piru is an actual street in Compton, so that was that was a little bit further down, you know what I'm saying. But gang banging, as y'all know it West Coast LA. You know khakis and chucks, you know flannels,

red rags, blue rags. You looking at it right here, right, And in this area, which we call the Crenshaw District, right, there's a few streets in this grid that kind of v into a singular point, and it vs into a singular point in the forties, right, which is a hood, but it's in the forties now in this area this is called the Lamert Park Village and it's off Crenshaw right, which is the main street. And Crenshaw was a historical Like now, when I say historical, i'm talking within my age.

There is a history that predates me. Crenshaw's generally was was an affluent area, even if even as as black as it is, it was black affluents, but it didn't mean it wasn't gang bang. Now you go further south down Crenshaw and you once you cross Slawson. Now you in the sixties, that's the nipsey hustle world. That's neighborhood.

That's neighborhood, roll in sixty Crips's, that's that area. I'm a little further north, this little village little it's designed to be walkable, it's designed to end as a park. It's designed actually the mirror this area up north in Hollywood called Large Month. Now, to give you a little context, Colan O'Brien studios, they're in Large Month. So if you can picture that, I'm talking Crenshaw Lamert Park right. And as a child, we used to go there for drum circles,

drum circles every Sunday. But this area was designed to be walkable, almost like a like a European style villa, like where you you know, where you walk, you know, you sit down at the little cafes, right and and again it culminates in this gated sort of park area right now. Every Saturday and Sunday they have like open flea market there. Again my whole life now in the sixties, this was like the jazz hub. I think I've said this plenty of times, Like it was equivalent to like

our Harlem. It was black art and diaspora art, like whenever I used to want to get incense and like cool African bracelets. When you know, in the seventies, we wanted Joe Daishikis you feel me, you wanted your good oils. You would go down there my father, I say, my father used to take me on a weekend because that's where sort of like black Pan African culture was happening. This area, although it is inside of a gang territory,

as far as I can remember, was always neutral. I mean we like we stood on the street corner freely. There was an event called Project Load again again like if that's actually it's finally on Netflix. Finally Eva Deverney's first film, it's called This Is the Life. It's about this spot called the Good Life a little bit further north on Crenshawn Exposition. It was a health food cafe.

It was one of the open mics out here in the early nineties that essentially birthed our hippop scene, you know, not like Radio Tron like which is in MacArthur Park. That's like the eighties. That's the b Boy. That's like breaking and breaking two. That's Ozone Turbo just to get

the rip rap to get the stamp. That's that's a little that's a little earlier than us, you know, saying uh, I'm talking about like as we know it far side dilated, people's gas corrupt like you know, um, this this this this music freestyle fellowship that that birth and entire movement you could go see that, and out of that became event called Project Blow because of one of the elders of that city, um who ran this thing called the

Chaos Network, which which name was Cogwell. Right. So anyway, before that Fifth Street Dicks, this spot over here in Lamerte was where you would hear jazz, you know, and in free form, and so of course it became a natural arts hub, right. This places you've seen this place. It's been in If you've ever seen Insecure our HBO, the coffee shop they go to is actually Harrone Coffee. Uh Stahomi Chase Infinite, that's his spot. This little strip was in um Oh, it's in the It's in the

New Creed movie. You can see when Homie gets off the bus. I'm like you getting he's getting off in Lamert Likes. That's Lamert Park. Once you see it in all these films, you can't unsee it. Right Snowfall, there's a scene in Snowfall. In Snowfall, it's the coffee shop haroun Is actually says. It says like Self Scientific cleaners. It's a cleaners and self Scientific. I'm getting in the weeds here, but Self Scientific was the group that Chase Infinite was in. Who owns Haroun Coffee. So it's a

little nugget. But I digress this area. As far as I can remember. Now, I am giving you that caveat has always been neutral. I don't know of personally, and I've never heard any stories of any like real action going down here. It was just kind of mutually respected. Now granted again, it's in the middle of a crib hood. And so there's that, right, But as we know, there's so many crips. A lot of times crip gangs, you know,

have problems with crypt gangs. But it's just this arts and African sort of Pan Africanism, just black art, enjoy and experience and elders and wisdom, you know. I mean, it's we smoke everywhere, you know what I'm saying. It's Jamaican food. It's like, you know, there's a there's a community center where you learn Pan African movement. You know what I'm saying, Like it's it's a it's a barbershop.

There's where you you know, you'd you'd buy like masks and you know, and just it's just and we would freestyle till the wee hours of the morning standing outside and yeah, I just you just don't do that in La Like usually you have to go inside and it's not like what no dogs there. It was just understood. Now that being said, when there's ever peace that needs

to be negotiated among the streets. Now, if we're talking at LA riots and the peace treaty that came after that, I am too young to be able to tell y'all it exactly what went down too. I'm too young for that, so I can't tell you what the location was, but I will say this, I know for a fact there has been plenty of things that have been brokered and negotiated in Lamert Park because it's considered to be neutral.

And I would imagine every hood across America has some some place that is just understood that it's okay because again, at least in LA parks or territory parks and apartments their territory. Like that's my park, you know, this is

day this, you know, this is our park. This is you know what I'm saying now, I mean it's it's like it's movie scenes when you turn the corner and it's just dudes working out, you know what I'm saying, and just you're like, children should not be playing here for some reason that I could really only speculate about lamerts our spot. Now. Obviously, to you and to me,

everyone would need a place like this. Every hood would need a place like this, especially a place where you have factors that don't get along right, because generally if you just don't get along the way, the only way to keep pieces just to avoid each other but you can't live like that. That's not sustainable. At some point,

we need to talk out our grievances. Now, if you've ever done any gang intervention, or if you've ever sat in which I doubt you have, but if you ever sat in any sort of conflict mediation, there are certain things that have to You can't just start being like y'all listen. It can't be Rodney King. Can't we y'all just get along? It don't work like that. My home boy, who shall rename nameless, you know who got the red

who got the red shoelaces in his shoes? He was like, I was around during that time, and when y'all talking about broker in peace, He's like, that's me spitting on my homeboy's grave because this person I'm sitting across the table from you might have killed my cousin. You might have killed my home I like, how can we talk about peace? And he's like, and I understanding that dude's perspective, because I probably killed his own boy. What we gonna

there's no peace? Like, there's nothing we could talk about. There is no truce. Now, obviously that's a remarkably violent way to look get it. But even in the love relationships, so you know, me and the do me and the dot CP prefer to her by her prefix my lovely spouse. Listen, we're in I ain't no shame. We're in weekly and sometimes monthly, depending on how good we're doing counseling and therapy.

You can't be letting this stuff build up because once you let it build up, it's too much for us to uncover before we can actually get to what we need to get to. It's it's almost too far gone. You let it go too far gone. That's when that's when the therapist be like, guys, it's the damage is too deep. Now. I don't mean it's not every Everything ain't savable, you know what I'm saying. So you have to like get to a place now. We also learned

as a couple, Oh man, this is good stuff. We also learned as a couple some stuff we just can't talk about with just us. We can't deal with this at the crib. There's got to be another place for us to go where we could talk about this in a neutral space. There's got to be a neutral space, and there has to be a third party that's listening because if not all were gonna do is end up

yelling at each other. Now, I don't know if you have been lived, you have tried to like hold down a relationship, then you know what the hell I'm talking about. Y'all end up in the same place every time. Now, if we talk about gang, you know, we end up with we end up with bodies on the sidewalk. That's what we end up with. There's too much. We can't even get to what we need to get to until we deal with what we got to deal with. You you're picking up with him throwing down here. You feel me,

I ain't gonna hold you. Shit is really hard. There's somebody I'll give y'all the follow's name is Chef Crawford. He had passed her out here. He actually did the eulogy at Nipsey's service when Nipsey passed. Because this man is well known in these streets of brokering peace because he'd been out here, you know, and obviously everybody don't

rock with him. But at the same time, the things he's been able to accomplish because of how he understands how this stuff works, what we got to get to, how to dig up under the foundation to get with. We gotta get to I don't know many people like him, so yeah, y'all, y'all find him on Instagram Chef Crawford and you'll see what I mean. How it takes a lot of work to do this, but it unless there's a place where everyone is able to put their guard down.

And what you see in the hood is oftentimes what we always talk about. It's like, man, you FeelA getting murdered by a person that looks just like you. I went to the same head start, y'all. We went to the same preschool, We was in the same county line, we're running from the same police. Do you understand what I'm saying? Like this across this table is a person who lived the exact same experience in section. They just

like I'm living the exact same experience. But just because you wrapping where your mama pay rent, I'm wrapping where my mamma pay rent. We somehow, enemies like you have to get past that to be like, man, you love your block. I love my block. We love LA, So let's protect La. You know what I'm saying, You gotta find what that is. But how do you get to that? If it's like I said, you shot my little brother. You know what I'm saying, are you protecting a dude

that shot my little brother? And even even if I'm doing the same about your little brother, I look, how do we get to it? What it takes time? I want to tell you how to Congress figured this out. After this all right, we're back in the building. Listen, this is kind of dope. Man. Maybe you know or don't know, but either way you're about to know. Right now. Congress is broken up into committees. Once you get into Congress, you get assigned to a particular committee. Now I saw

that stuff that was going on. Remember when like Margie Taylor Green was spouting out the like the Jewish space lasers and she got kicked off her her committee because it's like, fam, what is you talking about? You know? And that's where you do your work. You do your work in these particular committees and you hear things and you make recommendations. Those recommendations sometimes become bills either way.

This is how Congress breaks up. That there's one select committee that's called the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress. So and it's day job to make recommendations on how to make Congress function better. Right, so they mission your job fixed, Congress. Now, who'll try to be on this one. It's got to be perfectly and evenly bipartisan. Six Republicans, six Democrats, and you gotta make Congress work better. Good luck, FAM. So if there's any committee that is destined to fail,

big dog, it would be this one. And they got all the way up to the last time the Congress convened in twenty eighteen. Let me tell you. Let me tell you how many recommendations they made. Let me tell you how much they got done. Goose Egg, nothing, fam nothing. But this one has worked so well that they continued it two different sets of Congresses, two terms. It's this weird altered universe. It's like, really good news. There these

twelve Congress people that actually figured this out. Now for you to understand what I'm mean by this and some of the stuff that they figured out to do, you kind of got a flash back to kindergarten as right now, I remember all this stuff I talked about by Lamurt Park about being heard and stuff like this. Here's what you find out, you know, in the Congress buildings, because everything's controlled by the speaker, Speaker of the House sent

a majority leader. It's all controlled by them. So you can't even get even if that big old government building, you can't get no room because the rooms are signed by the speaker. It ain't a single room in there that's meant to be bi partisan. I don't know if you've ever been to the Capitol. They don't even eat together. Yeah, ain't even know. Ain't even no lunch table up in the cafeteria. Like, how y'all possibly ever gonna get a lot? You can't even get no y'all can't even get nold

rooms together. So that's one thing. Another thing that Congress do that just bass accords, like they used to say, it is like foods be signed up for hearings and votes. They be having like three votes at noon in three different buildings. Like how to hell? These people is overworked. They ain't got time for nothing else. It's you've given them impossible schedules to do impossible stuff and you in

the room always segregated. Remember I said, I guess you could keep the piece if you just stay on your section. You feel me. You remember when you was in kindergarten and your teacher was like no, you can't sit by your friend. You gotta sit boy girl, boy girl, remember that? Or they had signed the seats because they trying to get you to learn how to get along with people that you don't necessarily choose to get along with. Or when you sit with your homie all the time, y'all

always stay in trouble. You're always talking. Now in kindergarten, they figured out you can't just be sitting like that. You gotta sit with somebody else. So you know what, So you know what, this committee was like, y'all need to stop segregating y'all sitting Why don't y'all sit together?

They figured out simple stuff like let's just change the furniture my day get like you know when you watch the TV and you're seeing like a Senate hearing or like a Congress hearing, and you got that like panel of people sitting on high and they only got five minutes to say they piece and they're yelling at yelling these like these quips at people who are testifying. I mean, how in the hell are we posted to get along

like that? That's not you can like we just don't even feel like equals, like yeah, and you sitting next to your homie, Like, how am I ever gonna understand what this person? All I'm thinking about is like is Kendrick's lyric you killed my cousin back in ninety four? Yo? Truth? Right? All the public want us to get along, but like, I don't even mess with these people. And then throw on a January six throw a January throw a Donald

Trump grenade in the middle of this. If you're a Democrat, it's like, man, I feel like I'm in a relationship with somebody that cheated on me, but cheated on me, with somebody that tried to get me killed. Fab we almost die because and that was your folks. Remember remember remember what I said, You want me to have a peace treaty with you. You You killed my cousin, and now I ain't no peace. There's nothing to sit around about. Where is your press conference about January sixth, telling everybody

you almost had us killed? When is you gonna say something about that? You feel me? So it's like there's like there's nothing. Remember I said, sometimes it's like there's nothing to discuss, and I'm not going to your side of the Capital building to discuss this, just like you're not going to my side of the capital discuss this.

The government don't gotta lamurt park. The government don't got no place for them to meet where there's no cameras number one, right, because every place in theres a camera. So if there's a camera, you gotta ship, you gotta stunt, you gotta put off for the set. So there's there's no way. You feel me you set up to failure. So this this committee is to figure out how to

fix some of this stuff. But how because they were a part of the problem also, so this one, however, they didn't adopted two hundred and two recommendations according to this article, right, because again some of the stuff that Congress do just don't make sense. Like I said, they overworked. It's all it is, right, It's just everything's terrible right now.

The chair of this committee's name is Derek Kilmer. He's a Democrat from Washington, right, and he's like apparently, like according to this article, he's just like a hopeless, like optimist. He just like like a nice dude. But then he did this, like he called each member one by one and was like, all right, what can we do to make this work? How can we get this thing together? Right, and Infus was like, like I said before, they was like, listen, some of the Democrats were like, I can't even sit

in the same room with these people. They almost had as killed. You gotta remember the trauma these people. They not really street folk. You have to remember the trauma these people experienced on January six, Like that ruined everything. But before that happened, right, they was kind of figuring stuff out, you know, And some of the things they would do is like like if anything, it's like, listen, you have to have a shared goal when you have when you have a conflict between two people and two

different parties, Listen, I'm gonna go back to you. I'm gonna give y'all some couples therapy idea. It can't be you against your partner. If you're going in a couple's therapy, it's gotta be y'all together versus the issue. The issue is the common enemy, and the common goal is a healthy, growing, flourishing relationship. It's gotta be that. But if you're going in there to defeat your partner, oh, it's over before it started. Y'all have already lost. Same with Congress. The

goal has got to be a more perfect union. Right. So one thing that they did that they was like, okay, well number one, let's get some snacks together. Just like kindergarten. If we ask snacks, we just discuss a shared goal. We need to start having rooms that we could actually kick it in. They started having like mandatory like dinners together because it's like, at some point, man, I gotta

see you as another person. Like I said, just like in the Gang of Mediation stuff, I have to remember that you went to the same head starts I did, as you ran from the same cops I did. I have to see you as a as a person also, right. And then so then this is what they started doing. They said, Okay, before we get busy, this is pre January six, this pre twenty twenty, he said, before it is twenty eighteen, before we get busy, before we start start getting down, we need to figure out like what

we're trying to do. Let's have a planning retreat. Now that's never happened, right, So they put together a planning retreat, and and it was bipartisan, so both parties got to plan the planning retreat. They hired one staffer team together. Rather than saying this team the Republicans bringing staffers, Democrats bring staffords. So now even the assistance is beef. And they was like, no, let's put our heads together. Let's put together one staffords, right, and they started coming up

with things that they could figure out to do. And then January six happened, and this is like, again, this is that earth shattering you killed my cousin type situation. Why I killed your cousin because your cousin tried to kill me? You know what I'm saying, Like that earth shattering thing. That's like, look, this mug will not ever work right, And a lot of influence was like, listen, man, not only on January six, was that your folks, if

you're Democrats talking to Republicans. One of the Republicans who actually voted against certifying the election was was Timmins, who was the who's the co chair of this committee. So they're like, oh, man, you don't broke off trust Tomy. Shit ain't gonna work. We can't work together dog this. Remember, there's too much to talk about. We can't even get to the task until we deal with what we gotta deal with. So then in March in twenty twenty one, I told you, this is actually like a good thing.

In March twenty twenty one, according to the article, they got themselves from Tequila right, and they got on Zoom, you know, because he was still in a pandemic, and they said, okay, listen, we got to talk about the thing. Nobody want to talk about the thing. We got to

talk about the thing. And the thing was the insurrection because these people were like seriously traumatized, and they was like I like, I like I hunkered down, like I thought I was gonna die out this mug and y'all don't even get your man's Like, y'all can't even say nothing about this. You was gonna die too, Like I can't believe, Like how was y'all cool on this? And you even voted to not certify the other like it's

like you on the side. So then Tim and spoke and he was able to be like, listen, I still feel like the election was weird. Obviously, this breach of the capital was terrible. I feel like all them need to be prosecuted, like all this stuff is wrong. That is all now. At the same time, I still feel like some of the election things, you know, some of the certifications was still kind of fraudulent. That's why I felt like in his brain he was like, yo, both

these things can be true. Of course this was terrible. Of course that shouldn't have happened. But also and I still, I'm not really convinced about this election and the people. And then one by one of members, twelve folks, one by one, everybody got to talk. Now, of course they got to still disagree. Like I said, it's still my hood on mine. I still think you're tripping, but I

at least understand where you're coming from. Hell, you know, to be personal on this one, I went through a situation where you know, my my, my lovely queen of my house had to tell me, like, yo, this the way I felt about this situation. I've been holding onto this for a while, you know, and I may not have agreed, but I can't disagree with her feeling. That's what you felt, you know what I'm saying, and like it would suck to feel that way. And I can

see that, you know, so your experience. I got to see her, and for her, she got to see me as look, I have a I lived the whole last life before her. I at one point was just a twelve year old little boy that was awkward around girls, you know what I'm saying. So she got to see me in a light that was like, hey, he was just a little boy, just like I was just once a little girl once, you know what I'm saying. And even though there's some stuff, there's some experiences that were like, look, man,

I just don't see this the same way. It's the same in the streets, like we ain't gonnaver. You ain't gonna ever get me to agree you know that, this said, like that's my family, this is my relies. You ain't gonna ever give me to agree to that. But I understand that they got relly. I understand that we can't keep moving like this, and I get that you have to live your life, and I want you to live your life. I see a value in your life. You got mama. You gotta loved ones just like I gotta

loved ones. Right, we gotta move forward and whatever that way moving forward is. It's not you against me, it's us against the system. Right, that's the only way to move forward. One of the quotes that came out of this thing is like these people said, man, this is the most I've ever learned the most fun I've ever had in Congress because their job follow me, y'all, the job is miserable. Like it sucks being a congress person, you feel me. One quote that came out of this

is like we learned by conversation instead of confrontation. One thing one change they made was that, like I said, they have to eat together, they found a room where they sitting a round table, rather than sitting on high like I said, like on television, and rather than sitting by seniority. Did you notice your seating assignment in Congress is by seniority? Nigga, oh geez sitting in the front, help me sitt in the back. It's by partisan. How

in the hell was they ever it? Would they ever have a chance to possibly get along, you feel me, to possibly figure anything out? Y'n't even y'all't even sit y'a't even eat the same food. Y'all even y'all can't even eating the same room. Cus right. So that's one of the changes they make this particular committee. Rather than saying everybody gets five minutes to talk, they're saying, you

speak when you're ready. They had conversation. Can you imagine trying to have some sort of relationship or dialogue with somebody when there's like a time clock on it it's five minutes. Everybody get five minutes. I don't get to respond to whatever you're saying. And if I'm trying to respond to whatever you're saying, you like bud times up, I reclaim my time. Like that's not gonna work. Fam y'all can't learn nothing like that. Like it just don't work.

So anyway, they they made these changes and they're continuing on. This is one of the only functional parts of our congress. Look, they found a lamert part. What they was able to sit down and be like this neutral. I see you as a person, were from the same soil, and we want the same thing. Wrap your section, wrap your hood, believe what you believe. But y'all, let's make this work now. Unfortunately is where it gets bad. The comic goal is money.

It ain't us nagged just as Palestine, Ohio good comic goal. Ain't us naked like comic goal is. They bred. But at least at least they figured out how to work together just for this one thing. So there goes some new good news. Have a little bit of joy this week could politics. Y'all, yo yo. This thing right here was recorded by Me Propaganda and East Low Spoiled Heights, Los Angeles, California. This thing was mixed, edited, mastered, and scored by the one and the only Matt Olsowski. Y'all
