this is I'm giving y'all. I'm letting y'all in as to how I process a lot of the information I get. And this is one of those you know, talking from the hood versus talking to the hood. Now I'm talking to the hood, but I think everybody else welcome to listen in. You know what I'm saying. This is a principle that I it's so necessary if our democracy is gonna survive, y'all gotta know how to process the information you're getting. You ever seen somebody walking to McDonald's and

complain about the food. And don't you think to yourself, nigga, you have McDonald's. I don't know what the hell you expected. You go to McDonald's for McDonald's, like I go there. If you're going there, if you're going to Denny's, if you're going to waffle house, you're only there because it's open after the club. What you ordering the lobster roll? Ain't no, man, ain't got a lobster here. You know what I'm saying. Oh man, this chicken sucks. Nigg It's

Appreciate it for what it is. Get what you know it's offering, you know, for you be t Look man, I'll be trying to take a little hommies out out the city, out the hood man, and bring bring it with me on the road. You know, we out in Hawaii. They're like, yo, let me, let me, let me, let me get it. Let me get a slice of pizza. I'll be like, what we have this bomb fish spot. I'm trying to show him like Poku and you know what I'm saying, like taco, you know, taco from Hawaii.

You know what I'm saying. Like, I'm trying to show them like let's let's get some moose to be you feel me. They're asking for chicken strips. I'll be like, fam, everywhere you go, don't suck because it's not just like where you left. Come on, Fam, I'm gonna tell him my whole boy Lakrez. Here, once upon a time, Lucre had the most twelve year old taste buds I had ever seen in my life. If y'all don't know Lucraig, look Greg one of my closest friends. So I could

drag him real quick. Uh, send this to him because he'll remember this story. So we was he was out here. This was like early in our friendship, early in his career, back when he still wore the tall teas, you know, just like seventeen tattoos ago. Right. We was downtown in like little Tokyo out here in l A. And I was trying to take him to like one of my favorite like Ramen spots. I mean he loves Ramen now, okay, is my man been on the journey. He loved Ramen now.

But back then we was waiting in line. I was like, yo, the Ramen's bomb, get you a bento box. I mean, it's dope. So we out here chopping. The waits pretty long, but we're out there chopping. That's a bunch of us. And then I look up and I can't fine. I was like, where did look Craig O? This Nick came back with a personal pizza. Them little tiny little pizzas. This nigga walked somewhere down. You gotta sabarro pizza. I'm like, we had a little tokyo. I'm about to show you

some of the Bomba's food. This nigga went got. He was like, look, man, I like what I like. I was one of some cars. I was like, Nick, First of all, I'm impressed that you was able to find pizza over here. But secondly, I just I was so furious. Bro. He's like, I like what I like. It's not listen, man, like you somewhere else. You go and you appreciate where you are. You get what you get from that place

because that's what they have to offer. I'm not gonna try to force an area to be something that's not. I'm not gonna try to make a movie to be McDonald's McDonald's. I know what I'm getting from that. A gossip sagassa d d you feel me? A hustler is a hustler full over here talking about het jugging on the lig Don't get that, nigga. Nigga said, I just look, I just need five bills from you. Don't get that, nigga, Your money. It's true too, if you're talking to a gangster,

you know he's a gangster. I know what I'm getting from you. It's not I love you, but I know what it is. I got a few actual relatives that I know when they tell a story, they're gonna be the victim in the story. I'm like, I know what I'm getting from you, But I know if I need a particular lens told, I might ask you. I need another particular lens told, I'm gonna ask somebody else, as my family. I know what I'm getting from you. On

complain about you be something you're not. I'm not gonna try to make you something you I'm not gonna expect. Like my homeboy dad says, I'm not gonna try to squeeze water out of a turn up, Like I never heard that phrase E said for him my own exactly. No, I guess there's no waters in turn ups. I thought they were vegetables. I thought they had water in them. Anyway, It's like, it is what it is. What DMX said it.

You know one of his last interviews. You know, if I'm talking to a thief, I expect the thief to be a thief. I trust you. I transt you to be with you all. I trust the gangster to be a gangster. You know what I'm saying. And I'm not gonna be upset or surprised when you're something that you've already told me you are. But I understand when it gets frustrated when a person tries to present themselves as

something that you and I know they're not. And I think, as we turn the page here, this is where y'all get frustrated with your news. It's when somebody presents themselves as something that we know they're not. People say, this is raw facts without no the no spin zone, full of course their spin. What is you talking about? Our job in media literacy is to know what we're looking at and to get what we need from what we're looking at. And I know I am saying this as

participating in media, I take this stuff very serious. I'll make sure that like I at least know what I'm talking about. And it makes me nervous to think that maybe sometimes I'm misunderstood, misconstrued, or people miss the point, or I miss a fact and say something wrong like I mean, that stuff scares me. You know what I'm saying, so apply what I'm about to teach you even to me. All right, now, you're all ready, let's get into it.

So our sort of information on political landscape as a lot of ways has been flattened in that we think that all leftists are just leftists in all right wing are just right wing, and apply these lenses that we got here in America to the rest of the world, and leftists in other parts of the country or other parts of the world are not at all like the leftist here. A matter of fact, leftists in our political landscape are pretty centrists. They're not very they're they're they're pretty,

they're pretty center We like, Bernie, ain't that socialist? You just gotta know a little bit more in the world. Bernie got views Canada? Guy, Like that's is Canada? This was is a Cuba? Like is it? Chairman? Mao? You feel me Like nah, it's like there's a scale Here's but we have a way of like flattening these things to say that there's these two motifs, these right wings and these left wings, and that's just not the case. But that's how our information comes to us. So again

that's where we are. Let's just understand what it is. Secondly, I think it's important to understand that center. It's not neutral. A lot of times if we say you got left wing and right wing, we say a center is in the middle. It's not. The center is a position. You understand that it is its own position. I think it's a cupcake position, but it's a position. Nonetheless, there's parts of our country that are that may lean right or lean left, but really they're just trying to go back

to brunch. They just rather just not think about any of this stuff. I wish everybody was just fine, we can just right. That's a position. It's not the all. I don't get into politics. No, that is your politics. I don't like discussing, you know, political things. I don't get political. That is a position. Your position is I don't want to talk about it, which by default either leaves the extremes to make all the choices for you and you're just cool with them, or you're just good

with how things are. It's a position, so it's not neutral. And then thirdly, all information has a bias, all of it. You heard me, All information as a bias. Why because it comes out of a human mouth. We all have lenses. Now, is that a bias you agree with? Is that a fair bias? I don't know. It's just it's a position I can help. I can't help but see the world from my own eyes, and I'm bringing my full self to whatever I'm saying. What are you talking about? Like, Okay,

well two plus two us four. Well, that's that doesn't have a position, of course it does. That's just what it is. Okay, sure starts a position. The position is I believe in the ordered universe. I'm stating an absolute, I believe in absolutes. I'm stating that in every situation and every time. This is just what it is, because the universe is ordered that way. I know it seems like a reach, but I'm trying to get you to a point here. We all gotta lens, and so did

your news. We'll just report the facts, facts according to who. If I were to tell you the story, like y'all was at this party and this food walked in and slapped the ship out of this other guy, is that is that? That's that's the facts from where I was sitting, right, it's earnest and honest what you saw, or is it somebody else said, Yo, I was at this funeral, this repass. It was may have been festive, but it was a repass, okay. And then a brother walked in and then tried to

swat a mosquito off of his brother's cheek. Is that is that what happened? Which one was it? Who's right? Did he remove it aggressively? Well? They all has a lens, it's perspective, and what we gotta do is take the perspective for what it is. Maybe the guy that said, yeah, that fool winning there slaped ship out of that guy. Maybe he didn't even like that dude. So maybe that's what's going on, and it's fine. That's what they looked like. The other one says, well, no, it looked like he

was pulling Who's right? Yes? The answers yes, Yo. When I started held politics, I told her I was very clear on my perspective and my lens and who I was talking to and what I was doing this for. And I told you, listen, don't let me be don't let me be your breaking news. You know what I'm saying, because I'm just not hiding my perspective like I'm telling you, this is a this is a take on what we've

seen it here. This is just to help understand. But just know what you're getting from me, You feel me. That's all I'm trying to say. How do you exist in the world where information is thrown at us all the time. It's just on you to know what you're getting from So everybody gotta lens. We all got a perspective. It's just it is what it is, because we're humans. The next question is how is a person processing and trafficking this information? Because information, in a lot of ways

is power. Like I don't know how else to lay it out. Maybe we'll do a whole other episode on what I mean by that, but information is power, just but I think it's important to make a distinction here in this next part of this free game is knowing the difference between misinformation and disinformation. Information misinformation disinformation misinformation is just that you just misinformed. Maybe you just got

some of the facts mixed up. Oftentimes those are just happens when the news is breaking and more information is coming in and you just kind of got the story wrong. Or maybe your source, uh, maybe you misquoted your source, maybe you're maybe there's a lot of times Misinformation happens to be you're you're just wrong, You're misinformed. There's there's bits of the stories. Maybe you just don't have the full perspective. That's just I mean, it is what it

is like, that's it can be weaponized. But for our discussion, misinformation just means just that you're misinformed. Disinformation is purposeful misinformation. Disinformation is I'm actually consciously telling you something that's wrong. Now the listener is now misinformed, but they're misinformed by disinformation. Are you following me? Disinformation is usually trafficked by those trying to sell you something or trying to take down somebody bigger. Here you go like, oh, Jeremy said he

wanted to see you today. Information misinformation would be oh Jeremy looking for you, homie. You misinformed because you don't know if Jeremy looking for him. He just said he wanted to see you. I don't mean he's actively looking Disinformation. Oh this Nika, Jeremy said when he see you, it's on site. He trying to beat your ass. Nigga, what you're gonna do? It sounds like you're instigating fam trying to weaponize the listener against their comment out you follow me.

Another way to look at misinformation, it's sort of sifted too much through your own lens, too much through your political bias, to the point to where now this information is being sort of manipulated, if you will, to fit a particular narrative. And that's really where most of our mainstream media is. It's not so much disinformation as it is information sifted so much through a bias or a lens that it becomes deceiving, it becomes partial truths. And

that's what I think people get so frustrated about. But again, you went to McDonald's. What the hell are you mad at these GMOs? For next free game? Is to remember as always keep your head on your shoulders and know that these are for profit entities. They're making money. It's also important to remember just like any social platform, uh, if the product is free, then you're the product. You're following me, I'm saying, they're they're selling you your information,

your data if it's free. So just always remember that, like it well, Twitter is not free, it's they're selling you. Facebook game free, it's it's they're selling you. Remember that when you're looking at news sources, they selling ads. You know what I'm saying they're selling especially like cable news or or television news, like you're you're selling ad spaces. I mean, you know, ocean might as well swim. I don't blame them for doing that. Somebody got paid for

them cameras. I mean, unless you just down with public radio and you just down to here the listener tribe. Every five minutes, Hey, for hundred dollar donation will send you a free DVD of Vincent Van Gogh's toenail paintings. I don't know, just I mean, you can't either that or you watch commercials. Everybody got stakeholders, constituents, and a

fan base, and you gotta serve them. There was a moment when CNN, and I'm gonna get into this more specifics on a lot of other places a little later, there's a moment when CNN picked up somebody from ESPN, picked up one of the program directors from ESPN and kind of took the sports analysis sort of lane with the split scream arguing and brought that into politics. I mean, don't it kind of seem like it like when you got the people around the table discussing, do the kind

of seem like like you're arguing over sports. Don't it kind of seem like sometimes we talk about our our politicians like the athletes. Yeah, I know, because it's entertaining. It's either that or watch c SPAN, which is just turned the camera on and watch politics happen. That's not entertaining. I know, I'm guilty. I don't watch the C Span is hard. I don't know if you've ever read a bill, I mean, it's they're not fun. You gotta make the stuff entertaining. God need you to stay all the station.

It's for profit. I need views, and you're dealing with a constituent of people that you know, you don't know what the philipbuster is. That's why I did the show. So this part of why I do the show because it's like I'm trying to fill those gaps, you know what I mean that like, how can you talk about

infrastructure deals you don't know what infrastructure is? So that means that like I'm not saying they're dumbing it down, but I am saying they're dumbing it down, you know, And sometimes you could dump something down so much to where it becomes miss informed. They they're making money. Now, lastly, before we get into specifics. It's important to understand the difference between a new show and an opinion show. Okay,

what is like interested in actually presenting facts? Usually those shows if we're talking about cable News or twenty for our news cycle, those are usually during the day and then the evening like after work shows. Those ones are actually opinion shows. They are entertainment. Carlson is entertainment. He even, like in a defense for himself in a criminal trial, was like, the listeners know, I'm like, this is commentary.

It's entertainment. Like it's not it's not real news. That was this Nigga's defense when he was being sued for false information. He was like, well, it's not information our boy Don Lemon like and shows like around that time, Like, I mean, it's their opinion shows. Maybe when he's he's giving his opinion on the news that happened, he's giving his take on it. I'm not saying they're one and

the same or equal opposites. I'm just saying that's the type of show, right, I think in some ways Rachel madd Out like, I mean, I'll rock with her a lot. That's an opinion show, you know what I'm saying. Like she'd be doing her homework. This is an opinion, So understand the difference between an opinion show and a news information show. Got it, now, let's get to it. So my game to you is this is for first of all, be willing to eat from a lot of tables. I

think it's very dangerous to have one source. I think it's important to have somebody you trust, you know, to have a main like entry point, you know. Uh. Black News channel is something that's that's just now popped up, which is like pretty dope, you know what I'm saying, Like I enjoy it, you know, uh, because but again that's because I'm black, you know what I'm saying. They're they're giving news from us, specifically a black lens, which

is I mean, that's what the politics is. Uh. But that said, these these stories, you could go look at other places, you know, and kind of get other perspectives for That's media literacy. It's taken is taking these stories, accepting the source for what it is, and not not being mad for what it's not, Like this is what they are, Like I'm telling you, this is what we are. This is the way we're telling the story. It is incumbent on you as the listener to go Okay, I

appreciate that for what it is. But my daughter walks in here and tells me her sister did this. I'm taking that for what it is. That's a sibling telling on another sibling. It might be something like that, it might be something else. It's probably somewhere in between. I don't know. The point is this is the way they perceived it, and I'm gonna take the information for what

it is. I personally, I listened to a lot of Al Jazeera, I listened to a lot of AP News, and then I listened to a lot of CNN and Fox, mainly for the purpose of understanding where the listener is getting their information from, Like what is your main source? So that I can understand listen so that I can understand how you're understanding the news you follow me. I'm appreciating CNN for what it is. It's just the biggest. I appreciate Fox with it is just the biggest. It's

the main entry point. But that don't mean it's the best. I know what they are and it helps me see how the world is seeing the world is in America, how the world is seeing particular topics, and then I do my homework to try to understand it's it seems charged to be like what really happened? But that's not what I'm saying. But what I'm saying is to get a better scope and perspective of what's going on, and then formulate my opinion, knowing full well that it is

an opinion. It's just it is what it is, and then reading primary sources because I'm that much of a nerd. Now check this out. So add font fontes, media A D F O N T E S put together this chart, and the charts got some issues, don't get me wrong, but it's a great it's the most famous one. It is the great sort of start, right, it's a great start, an entry point to just kind of get a grip on what we're doing here. Okay, now y'all know how to read a graph? I know this is an audio media.

Do you know how to read a graph? I'm gonna take you all back to seventh grade, your X access in your Y access. You know, up and down, left and right, B A B A select start anyway, Uh, that's a deep cut how to read your graph? Okay, if we're gonna start at zero, Okay, follow me. I'm gonna be a math teacher at y'all at zero zero, right, that's my plot point in the bottom left, the X Y intercept. And as I go up on the graph,

it becomes more act finding, like driven by facts. So if you closer to the bottom, you're like, yo, this is misleading or down right wrong, like fabricated disinformation all the way going north, going to the top of like, nah, we did our homework. This is fact finding. Now if I'm going left to right, the closer I am to zero, we're gonna say is left wing. And then the further I go right, so away from zero, is right wing.

In other words, hopefully this helps saying like this bottom far right, nigga, that's info Wars, that's some Alex Jones, some o A n TV, you know, World Truth, dot TV, Natural News. What the hell is you talking about? Nigga? You made this ship up? You know what I'm saying, y'all, sound this is what is wrong with you? Like, I don't what the hell like them them shows over there. That's a very particular lick they're hitting because they know

for a fact what they're saying is not true. It's what is being spun in a particular way as to incite a certain type of listener. You know, when you think about like the January six insurrection, you got the like proud boys oalthkeepers out there, who's out there to do some ship, to break some windows and to cut some necks. And then you got your boomers, your granddad, and them your grandmama. And then we're not my grandmama.

And then but y'all's grandmama, and buy y'all, I mean white people, y'all's grandma and them who just got caught up into the Facebook thing. And you actually think you feel me like that that you're doing that. This is seventeen seventy six, and you're actually doing your civic duty by doing this. Like that's a different person. So these are these shows are praying on that particular person you feel me that's on like the far far far far far right. So that's the that's the bottom right of

this graph. Now the bottom left of this graph is like the Jimmy dor Show, which I know is a deep cut from most of my listeners, most of all, don't be going this far down the rabbit hole. You know what I'm saying, but Jimmy dor that's like, uh, I mean he not as far as like the Oath, like info Wars, but very selective in his persuasion and like which stories he chooses to cover. So he used to be part of like the Young Turks Network, which again probably for my listeners, is like, what the hell

are you talking about? But the point I'm trying to make is in that particular it's not so far as like the what the hell, but it's just as extreme left as info Wars is extreme right now, it don't traffic in in straight up what the funk are you talking about, but it traffics more into like, oh, it's pretty convenient to really just pick up this story, you

follow me. So those are extremes now if we're gonna go fact finding, So this is the furthest to the top right, not right as in top right, but as incorrect is okay, somewhat middle, really close to the middle, super fact finding, like we really about what we're trying to do. That's where you get people like the Associated Press,

you know, maybe not dead center. They might skew a little to the left, sometimes skew a little to the right, sometimes Wall Street Journal that skews a little to the right sometimes, but for the most part, people like Associated Press, Reuters, PBS, Pro Publica, they're doing their best to be fact finders. Now, like I said before, everybody got to bias is coming out of a human lens. But for the most part, this is a good place to think as far as like, Okay,

what's how happening here? Just give me, just give me what happened? Now? What This is not a tape recorder saying only listen to them, because again, like I said before, you have to have media literacy, and that doesn't necessarily explain how the rest of the world. Because when the last time you turned into you tuned into Associated Press. You ain't never tuned into that. Do y'all got the olgas of your network on your No, you ain't watching those things right. So now, now let me let me

walk y'all through this. So if we're gonna start roughly on the bottom left and then try to move to the right, Um, it's again it's important to understand who these people are and what they're trying to do. So the Jimmy dor Show far left on the bottom listen. He was used to be a comedian and then he became abundant. So so so take that for what it is, right, It helps you understand the way people that think like this, This is how they see in the same topic we

all looking at. I'm just I'm not gonna go through everybody, but I'm gonna name a few of them that I I kind of go to. The Young Turk Network. These were some journalists that came around. They started a radio show in two thousand two, and they, like I said, they skewed pretty left. It's highly opinionated, they're pretty selective and what they choose to cover. I think that sometimes kind of leans towards their bias. But it's all good.

Know what you're getting. You know what you're getting from it. You know what I'm saying. You got the Palmer Report with like Bill Palmer. This is from like two thousand and sixteen, that's where it started. Again, leans pretty left, but it's good to know what you're looking at. Right now, let's get into something that's like a little more familiar like Pod Save America, The Daily cost Uh, Jezebel, The

New Republic, the Root. These are pretty partisan, they're pretty left, they're highly opinionated, but they're giving things that are analysis. Do you understand they're interested in analyzing, so you come to them to understand, and anal assists of something based on the lens you know they're getting from them. So I'm not again, I'm not mad at you for what you are. That's what you are. You helping me understand

what it is. Now, I'm saying left and right as if I'm accepting that the definitions of left and right are the ones that we somewhat agree to in America then, and a lot of these places may not self identify by these terms. You know, I'm just using this as a just a way for us to enter the conversation. But yeah, the route may not necessarily identify yourself as left leaning. They like were black, you feel me. But it's just it's more the point of helping us understand

this conversation. So like, don't sue me. The Daily Beast that's from two thousand eight. I like the Daily Beast, you know, they you know, we're getting more into sort of h understanding, a little more like m more fact based, you know what I'm saying. Let's see the intercept MSNBC. Of course, these are leaning left, but they're much more left center. You feel me, Rachel Maddow and them right

Vice Media like they're skewing left. You know what I'm saying now this political Uh we'll move into like CNN the New York Times like they're left, but they're but their center left, they only skew left. You feel me. They're gonna be again selective on the stories that they cover, and they and they're gonna give you the information from

their lands. Now I know this is where we're getting into the frustrating space Cuomo because you know the Cuomo Report is because again they got constituents, they feed in their constituents, and they're gonna give you probably the same story but with a totally different headline a lot of times. Now we're getting into the area these people try to present themselves as if they're the most responsible, they're the

most accurate, and they're the most nonbiased. But I think that's when it gets frustrating because like I mean, I got a lot of like these are the places that I have a lot of critiques over as far as like ah no, this, don't you just you're not being who you say you are. In my opinion. And notice I haven't mentioned like Daily Show, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher because listen, those are entertainment. They're covering the news. But this is it's entertainment like and you're supposed to see

them shows. Is that? Having said that, I'm not saying dismissed them. I'm saying understand them. It's also very important to understand their position because it helps you know how to get a grasp on what your position is. I don't yell at them for what they are, I just know what they are now again removing removing more to the to the middle, you know, which is not necessarily centrist. It's middle in the sense of like fact finding and whether we skew left or skew right, it's still a position.

Like I said, BBC, PBS, pro Publica, NPR is like I know a lot of there are such leftist now they're pretty they skew left, of course, but it's fam they definitely don't skew right. You're right, but it ain't. Listen, dog, you ain't know Jimmy Dore out this mug. You feel me now, things that are starting to skew right and still more into like analysis or mix of like fact and analysis is things like The Hill Stuff you Should Know podcast, uh, Fox Business, Wall Street Journal, right, the

Ramassen Report. Those are like things that are moving more towards uh the center right now into more like this is this is some commentary, and you getting really dangerous space into your analysis becoming what the hell is you

talking about? Right? You got people like you know, the Fox News website, the Blaze, Fox and Friends, New York Posts, which I don't know why anybody would trust anything out the New York Post, right, Uh, the Federalists, News Max, Like all right now, I kind of I don't know, Homi,

I don't know what the you talking about? We're getting there, but it's important to know there are millions of people that are getting their news this way and this is how they're seeing the world, so appreciate it for what it is. Then you getting into like super selective way far right that's like the Sean Hannity Show, Hannity listen, that's not news, that's analysis, and it's super unfair. It's like you're not you're picking stuff, and then all the way to the far far right to what the fund

you're talking about. Then him the American spectator Mike Adams, who's like just a straight anti VAXX propagandists. Nigga, what the hell are you talking about? Okay, now, these extremes, I highly suggest that you keep a very small light diet of those shows because if you know anybody that's like a conspiracy theorist, dude to dude, that's like the government lied about nine eleven, it was an inside job.

Like them niggas can get you riled up. You know, you only listen so much to that gossip, to that hood gossiper. You know what I'm saying, Like, because that nigga get you caught up, you start really thinking that the sun finn fall out the sky because he's so she's so worked up into the ship. You understand what I'm saying, Like, you can only take so much time

with that person. The niggas looking at jay z videos talking about the Illuminati and your ap news, I understand the middle ones they kind of bored because they do there's that ain't nuts juice to it, right, And maybe you don't know what to think about the information you're seeing. I don't see no problem with that. So what I'm

suggesting is eat from a lot of tables. I eat from me personally, like I said, Al Jazeera in pr ap news, CNN, I eat from Fox, I eat from Wall Street Journal, I eat from Cuomo, I eat from uh NPR. But I also eat from UH well, I don't eat from I'll nibble on some like Tucker Carlson, I'll nibble on some on some Hannity, I'll nibble on some of them shows. I'll nibble on some Fox News, Fox News because I need to understand the whole scope

of the map. And we'll we'll, I'll put I'll put a lot of this information into our show notes, just because I want to make sure that y'all have this. But the free game is this, use your antennas you feel me, y'all. Keep y'all head. Don't expect McDonald's to not be McDonald's. If you go into McDonald's, know what you're getting from them. Okay, if you're going a red lobster, which was like you know you from the hood, that

was like maybe you made it. That's somebody graduation, you know, Get get them buttered, you know what I'm saying, Get them chatter biscuits, but know what they are. They chatter biscuits. That's it. And and remember this is still just a chain restaurant. It's not your steps. You may think you made it, you just now okay, it's still a chain. It's still just a chain restaurant, Applebee's, Nikkie, it's a chain,

you know. I ain't gonna get into the five guys in and out water Burger argument because y'all they just burgers. I'm not, okay. I know what I'm getting from here in and out on mind West West. The point is, here's the game. Whatever news source you're eating from, just read the ingredients you feel me and use that for your advantage. You ain't gotta trust them, but you trust them to be what they are. I trust the hustler to be a hustler. I trust the gangster to be

a gangster. I trust the guy us up to be a gossip players play. I know what I'm getting from y'all, and I'm gonna use it to formulate my game politics. Y'all.
