And if we were fighting over a piece of meat, you know, in the African savannah, the guy that doesn't understand that this thing is full of alliance has an advantage of the person that knows is full of alliance. So they're not just gonna run into the open fields to get this piece of meat to bring home. They're gonna take a second because it's like, can't just be running in there. So this person's like, I'm gonna go get it. I canna handle it, you know, goes and

gets in. Then that sense, that's the person who gets the meal for the day. And it's not so much that they were stronger, it's that they was missing for it. And it becomes an advantage because the other person not gonna move because we got sent enough not to. And then what sucks about it is you can't tell that person nothing because fool it works. They got the meal for the day, they're taking it back to their family, and the line ain't need him. It's called the first

mover advantage. Now me, I've been a lightweight my whole life. So my daddy used to tell me. You know, they used to say, you know, if you're never in trouble, if you didn't throw the first punch. My daddy was like, you better throw that first punch. You know what I'm saying. When that man get close and that little boy get close enough to you, make your move because if he because if he get one clean one on you, you're done. So that's so, I, being of sound mind, used the

first mover's advantage to my advantage. Now me, I was fully aware of the situation. I just thought, if I could make this other person think there's something about me that they don't know, the fact that I'm not scared, the fact that I am moving forward, the fact that I am taking a punch on somebody twice my size, right, that I'm not backing down, makes them believe maybe this little Maybe this boy knows some jig jitsu something, maybe he could maybe he carrying something, Maybe he got some

homies from around the corner. Because he's real confident. Right now, it's like three of us, this little niked by himself. He not scared. Maybe it's something I don't know, so I'm using it to my advantage. Of course, I'm terrified. I'm actually very aware of what's happening. But I'm going to show myself as much more confident. Sometimes you catch a faith, sometimes you don't have to fight at all.

Because it worked. So what psychologists had called that ability to run into a situation with an overinflated confidence, they called that the first mover's advantage. The hood just causing feeling froggy. Ah, you're feeling froggy. You better jump. I mean, you think you can handle this situation? Gone bust and moved in. I want to talk about some of these capital riot defendants defending themselves in the court of law and not taking no lawyers or politics. It's so good

right now. Good politics, y'all food politics. So hood, I know you know a guy like this, and I don't even have to ask you because I know you know a guy, a dude that's like a six at best, but he running around here was like some of up. He'd just be bagging the baddest, just batties and you're wonder, why how does this? How you keep back? And he's just, man, these are batties. And it's this. It's the confidence because everybody else got sense enough to not walk up to

this person who's like a California ten. You know what I'm saying, because you know you were six, You feel me don't matter though. The swagger, the confidence, it go a long way. This mug is glorious. I'm so excited. Let me tell you someone, I learned what the Dunning Krueger effect meant way back when the flat earth thing was happening. That's when I learned what the Dunning Krueger affect meant because people were talking about they researched, they

running these math and stuff like that. Now I'm you know, I have post graduate studies under my belt. I know what didn't mean the research. I know how hard research is. I understand how to look up a scholarly journal, look up dissenting voices. I understand how to test the source. I understand how to not just click a Wikipedia page, but click the footnotes. I understand how to do all these things. And I've noticed to do your research. People seem to usually not know how to research, but they're

so convinced. And I just I couldn't. I didn't know there was a term for that, especially telling these flat earth folks that was just like with all these different things and I just want to write them off a conspiracy theorists. But when you're talking to astro physicists, when you're talking to people that have been in the space, you know what I'm saying, And I mean, it's like this ain't this, ain't de fit. We've been there. I'm like, this is how gravity work. You could see how gravity

work in holding an orange. I'm about to give y'all a super interesting experiment and understanding how the Earth is a sphere. If you take an orange, right, an apple, and you just kind of take your knife and just like cut a slit, just a straight slit in one of the pieces. You know that the slit is going to be curved, right, It's gonna be curved because you're on a curved surface. Now, go look at the bearing straight, Go look at the Japanese islands. The curved because the

Earth's round anyway. Uh, I was trying. I didn't know the word for. Somebody used to say this full red the back of three books thinks he's an expert. You know what I'm saying. It's oh, I know, it's a Dunning Kruger effect. It's the opposite of what I struggle with, which is the impostor syndrome. Right. So Dunning Kruger effect is like this overinflated assessment of your own knowledge about stuff. This is the dude that's sitting across from the astrophysicists

telling them that they're sheeple. You know what I'm saying, person who's giving themselves to this study their whole life, right. Uh. The impostor syndrome is the person that knows what kind of feels like. Maybe everybody will find out that I'm a fraud. Maybe I'm not as good as I think I am. You know that's my situation. I'm super insecure in a lot of ways, even about her politics, about this show. I'm insecure about my ghetto card, I'm insecure

about my politics. I'm insecure a boy, my edgit I'm insecure about a lot of this stuff. You know what I'm saying, knowing full well, I got the receipts to prove the work I've done. And I mean, I know where I'm from. I lived there. You know what I'm saying. I was there. But I still sometimes feel, you know what I'm saying, I feel a little like dang in my front and you know what I'm saying. And and anyway, Dunning Krueger is the opposite. I got this. I couldn't

figure out. I didn't know there was a there was like a term for it until then. And now Robert gave me a new one. And that's the first mover's advantage. You just you you son know what you're talking about. And I realized, Oh, that means feeling froggy. You really feelshed step to this old g You really feel like like you need to think twice about this move big HOMEI oh, I they ain't gonna do ship. I'm like, oh word, I'm not sure you know who you're dealing with.

And then it'd be crazy because sometimes that mug be working. Listen, the fact that we're even talking about this is proof of concept. They actually breached the Capitol and ain't nobody Dad. I'm like, you can't tell them nothing. Dog. I had I successfully got into and my feet on Nancy Pelosi's desk, I would be like, you can't tell me no, no, nothing nothing. I would be like, I can jump off this roof and fly. There's nothing, there's nothing that concise.

That's why I would feel too. Now it's comedy for all of us when it don't work, and that's kind of what Unfortunately, this is what we won't. We won't them fails, like we want that person with the inflated understanding of themselves to get their come uppings because it's funny, right,

and it feels a lot like justice. So this ancient human on the African savannah, right who while one man was standing in the high brushes calculating his time to grab the ancient rabbit, and then freaking Earl Neanderthal Earl over here just like walks in and grabs the thing. And you're like, this mug is full of lions. You hope the lion eat Earl's ass, that's what you're hoping. I'm hoping these two lions walk out, look at each other and be like damn nick and dinner. That's what

you're hoping because it's like who you think you are? Bro? But then when Neanderthal Earl just pick up the rabbit and walk back to the brushes, you're frustrated as hell. Why did this ship work? When did you go learn? When is them like? Look you like at some point them lines gonna eat you. They used to be a saying even among like when kids was like hardheaded, or like little hommies in the streets who always felt froggy, they would say, hey, he need his ass beat. He

just need one good ass kicking. And that's what they're trying to say, is like that's gonna teach you all. No, man, he just needs he just needs to ask beat. You know if you you you just you step to the wrong person. They say, one time you're gonna you gonna step to the wrong person. You're gonna jump to the

wrong person. They're gonna beat your ass like and it's it's because it's like you need to have a more calibrated view of your abilities, is what we hope it because I think somewhere inside of us we all either want justice or want to see dummies get they come up as because I'm not gonna lie to you. It's kind of funny. Now let's get to it. I'm pulling from a couple of articles about these January six insurrection defendants.

A lot of them played guilty, and they played guilty to like lower charges, which is I mean that that's what you should do, you know, trespassing. You know what I'm saying, um breaching. Some of them decided to beat cops with flags. So they're facing some real some real ship out this mug. But remember, they think they patriots. They think the seventeen seventy six. These people's you know, on on the on their sovereign citizen websites. They got

their brain cooked. They're positive COVID to scam the government was stolen. I mean, you can't have gallows outside for the damn vice president. You feel me? If I mean your brain cooked? You you positive? You right? Positive. So some of these people is like, I'm gonna defend myself in the court of law because they're trying to prove a point that the courts a joke anyway. I don't respect all at all. That's some people's points to other people's point is like I want to show, and it

is my right as a citizen to defend myself. Now, let me quote this. It's probably my favorite quote in every article I've read about this. It's Michael Magner. He's a New Orleans criminal defense lawyer and a former federal prosecutor. And he said, just because you have the constitutional right to do something doesn't necessarily mean that it's smart. Ah, you got the absolute right to shoot yourself in the toe. That don't mean you should. Yes, you got the right

to do this. It is a protected, sacred constitutional law for you to defend yourself. For you to not choose a lawyer. And I get it, lawyers be crooked and defense attorneys. Baby, just getting that check, and especially if you can't afford one you're about to get, You're about to get a court ordered one. You mean to tell me the person defend me actually work for the system that prosecuting me. I get it, But fam, I'm not sure you know what you're getting there too. You want

another quote, check this out. Quote. I would never represent myself if I were charged with the crime. This is the U. S. District Judge Royce elaborate, he told Alan Hoysteader before allowing him to handle his own defense against riot charges. The judge warned the ex police chief that he has never seen anyone successfully represented himself in his appointment to the bench since nineteen eighties seven. Listen the judges and the lawyers, even the people who fit a

prosecute him. Was like, fam, this is a bad idea, my g Like, I'm trying to tell you. Look, I want to win, but listen what you're doing. You're feeling real froggy homie right. Horstead was arrested in June along with five other men on charges that they conspired to stop the Congress from certifying Joe Biden's victory. This is from heff Post in the president election. The indictment links four of Hosteaters co defendants to the three Percenters, a

wing of the militia movement. And now you're really in the hood territory because not only do these people got you on a conspiracy, they also got you with the gang Uptick. Now you right here, we are here running all red and blue flags. And then be like, no, I don't bang, I'm not a part of that, niggy, Yes you are. If they got you on the hook on the gang Uptick and you are so you feel so froggy that you could get out of this. I

need you to talk to some hoodsters. Listen. In my Clacks days, the reason why I got away with uh some stuff was they couldn't tie my tag to No Tagg and crew. Because had they been able to tie me, this would be a very different podcast. Check this out. Hosteater, who began teaching yoga after twenty years as an officer, told Lambrett that the corruption of this investigation is one reason he wants to represent hisselfs Also, his finances are

a factor. My man said. I believe it's a governmental strategy and tactic that if they can't convict you, they at least want to bankrupt you, Costetter said, and to which I would say, amen. That's the hard part about stuff like this. Another defendant representing himself as Brandon Fellows. He's an upstate New York and recently unsuccessfully petitioned U S District Judge Trevor McFadden to release him from jail. And here's where the world get real cold. You know.

Mc fadden was nominated our President Trump and also jailed self represented defended Pauline Buyer last month for failing to comply with court orders to cooperate with probation officers during her pre trial release. Dog, I bet you thought you pulled. You a good judge, you feel me, a judge that was nominated by your boy Trump, and they still locked you up. Cut like you gotta be real salty right now.

And this law abiding citizen, she was on video on police officers body camera saying bring out Speaker Pelosi to be hanged. She on videos. So let's pause for a second and say, this woman just threatened the lady's life and its own camera. And she was out on bail, she was on probation. She wasn't even in the brink. This lady wasn't even locked up. This is why these people's confidences off the charts, because they got the rabbit.

You can't tell him nothing. So it's what I'm bugging out is that some of these people might they might get off. That's what I'm tripping off. It might work, people that don't know what the hell are they're doing. It might actually work. You ever been walking through a neighborhood and you've seen this little teeny dog losing it's just just flare it up, just losing his mind on this big old doverman, big old huge pit bull rock Wiler, just bigger, and this little teeny is little teeny purse

dog just barking up. And so you're just thinking, man, I don't understand why this is even an issue. But that big old dog kind of backing up a little bit. It's because the little dog, and you just think, dog that look he actually won. That little dog just won that. He just won that fight. Big dog backed up like, oh hold up, maybe, okay, okay, show world, it's your world. You got it, you got it. A little dog like he fu nigga my street black. I don't know why

the dogs sound like that, but they little. Uh Anyway, I just kind of wonder if these these people feel so froggy they're gonna j is so confident about their abilities, they might mess around at work. Now, what I'm hoping happens is what keeps happening right here where the judge is like, sir, ma'am, don't sit down somewhere like the old folks will say, just go just sit down somewhere. You're gonna you can't watch Law and Order and think, you know what the hell you talk I object. You

can't object to this, sir. This ain't that you There's one story of a person have to cross examine they own homie, like you don't know what you're doing. I remember when the old California police chief decided to represent himself. Uh, they said, hey, he would have a fool for a client. This is so great. Now where does all this come from? Uh? You could look at some of the associated press stories on crime, some of the wrong sentinel Like this is

being covered in a lot of different different spaces. And here's what I think is going on here is I believe they believe they're the smartest person in the room, just like they big homie. You know who the hero is, do I gotta spell it out for you. That man really believes, honestly, he's the smartest man in the room. And if anybody has ever read a briefing, you know this man don't know what the hell he's talking about. But you know what, he became president. He did the

man the man one. That's why you can't tell him nothing. He won giving the equivalent of book reports that you wrote from cliff notes. Did y'all I mean, did anybody watch the y'all watch any of y'all, did y'all watch him that all the man don't know what he's talking about. Listen. I understand that he's likable because he's funny, especially when

he's not trying to be funny. He's funny. It's funny as hell because he just sound like your uncle, and you're thinking, sometimes, you know, my uncle kind of know what he's talking about. Right now, I'm gonna slide into some controversy. Year it's little booty. Little Booty is funny. Sometimes he kind of sounds like he don't know what he's talking about, but a lot of times he does. Here, O G. I appreciate the O G when I hear it.

The man been through a lot, and you will never catch me slandering another black man, but there are sometimes he became all of our like our our grumpy uncle. I saw this man break every Twitter rule in one tweet when he tried to go after Little nas X. The man like, it's just stuff he just don't rock with, specifically around the LGBTQ community. He'd be saying some wild, out of pocket stuff about them, and just you can hear in his interview with Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson asked

him about self respect. He like, what that is? He just a street like I know, disrespect to the O G. But so I get it. And I'm not saying he Donald Trump. I'm just saying we have a place in our hearts for people we recognize, Like I recognized that about I recognize Boosey because that's like I know that. There's one interview when somebody asked him, you know, because he's got a lot of baby mamas, like what would

he do different if he could go back? And he said, well, if I could go back, I wouldn't I wouldn't have skated in all these different women. I would have skated in one woman. This nigga said, I wouldn't have skated. And and here's what sucks is like that's actually I mean, that's wise. You shouldn't have a lot of baby mamas. Man, fall in love with a woman, you know what I'm saying, and like try to start a family. You Oh, it's really difficult navigating a lot of different women. But fam

my man said skeated. So when I look at these white people within a storm, Nick, they're looking at trunk because they're like, oh, I know this, but you gotta have sense enough to know that that man didn't know what the hell he was doing. I just objectively he didn't know what he was doing. But it don't matter. It's the law first movement. He felt froggy and jumped and naholy one, no wonder these people down to represent themselves. They boy one, they got to them. They got proof

of concept. Shit work. Check this out. This new Hartford man accused and participating in the January six riot, an attack on the U. S. Capital and Washington d C, will be allowed to represent himself in federal court. His name's Eric Uh. Box me. I'm probably pronouncing that wrong. Of nineteen Pinecrest Road appeared virtually before the Judge Randolph D. Moss on Thursday, where he made an oral argument to

allow himself to be his own attorney. According to the court records, Uh he's charged with two counts of knowingly entering and remaining in a restricted building on the grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly congraduct on Capitol grounds. The court records show that Judge Moss granted his requests. His former defense attorney, Federal public Defender John uh gils Nan will act as standby council. So this man has been granted this. Now here's what I'm picturing.

I'm picturing loudmouth little homie, like what's nick, I'm with the ships. I want all the smoke and the o g just being like, now are you sure? Are you sure you won't this okay? Because I'm gonna dog walk you. But I'm I'm I'm trying to be calm right now. I want to shout it. If you've got a chance to go listen to or go see the video from the Homie Bamboo Day stole us the Samoan uh, the Samoan cricket bat. I think that's what it's called. And

in this video it's pretty raw. But as Bamboo is acting in this in this stare, I don't ruin the video. But this guy approaches him and he essentially says hey, like puts his hand up like hey, don't do this. I don't want to do this. And then the guy pushes him and he says, hey, look one more time, don't do this. Y'all don't know Bamboo is trained in like multiple martial arts. And then the arm bars this fool, right, and he trying to try to tell you not to do this. I try to tell you not to do this.

I got a cousin like this, that's like my cousin is he He was picked on a lot people would people with people always underestimated my little cousin. I was never worried about him because he could scrap, but like people all and he would he would mop these bullies. He would mop them, and it's because they just unders but he would warn them, like listen, y'all gotta stop picking on me. They thought he was an easy coming.

He would hop these fools because he's not. He's not like aggressive like that, Like he's not like a toxic kind of like masculine kind of dude. Like he's not like that like. So they would assume that he didn't have hands. My cousin had hands, and he would just put it on these foods. So I think, look, look the judges like, Okay, are you sure you want this, because we're gonna mop you. Now. I got no predictions. I I mean, I mean, I have some, but I'm

not sure. I think it's very possible in the same way that Trump became president, some of these people might get off others might get laughed out this courtroom. I'm just here for the comments, though, because I can't wait to see how bad their defense is. I can't wait to see how they bring some some of the most

sovereign citizen most laughable conspiracy theories. And when they just jump up and say, I object, as if this is like you can't handle it to they just quoting movies because you don't know what the hell you're talking about. I can't wait for that because it's funny and and I'm pretty sure there's gonna be moments Where'm gonna be like that ship actually worked, because look, I don't understand how we here in the first place. It's all recorded y'all's faces. You did it. We all know you did it.

I don't understand what your defense is. You the earth saw it. I just like you don't have a defense. Here we are neanderthar earl he about to go grab this rabbit, and US Homo sapiens sitting on the side of the savannah looking at them hungry lions, being like, is you are y'all gonna eat them or not? You're gonna You're really gonna let this man walk in here

and get this rabbit. Oh well, uh okay, I guess he felt froggy because there's a lot of times in the last four years fool should have got slapped down immediately when they felt froggy, but they didn't. It works, we shall see. If you're feeling froggy, you might as well jump little politics, y'all. This mug was recorded and edited by Me Propaganda right here in East low'st boil Heights, Los Angeles.
