Episode description

I know a lot is being made about Trump's cabinet selections, but just like in the NBA draft, players selected don't always end up on the final roster of the team that drafted them. So, using that logic, it's a pretty safe bet that some of Trump's selections won't make the team either.

Speaker 1

A media. I learned a term this weekend called the bro economy, which I think it's perfect. It consists of sports betting, crypto, and day trading, and like damn, like that is such a perfect description of those three things because I still think of like like crypto bros, and then like the GameStop thing, like it's like dudes and every dude. I know that everybody I know that day trades is a dude. Now. I think it would be interesting to add something like fantasy leagues as far as

like sports betting and stuff. But I will say this, of the top, I don't know ten most important women in my life. Obviously you know where the pinnacle is. I'd say two out of that list play fantasy sports and are in their own leagues and bet on games. One of my one of which is my mom. She is a Steelers fan for some reason. But uh oh man. She used to text me when tom Brady was playing. She would say, I put the whammy on tom Brady. Whoop on tom Brady. She just did not like tom Brady.

She said, I put the whammy on him, That's why he lost. So this last Sunday, I mean, she was like she batted a thousand. She was she was perfect, got all her picks. I don't know if she got all her points spreads, but I know she got all her picks. Uh. Doctor Alma, my wife used to she used to bet on Uh. She used to have her brackets from March Madness, you know, and she won when she used to do it. She won every year that she did it. And of course the Queen of cool Zone.

I don't know if she knows. I think I just dubbed her that Sophie the Queen of cool Zone. She she is our basketball nut and yeah, her fantasy team. I'd like, I dare anybody to go head up with Sophie and basketball stats, specifically Lakers. As you know, me, her and Ian have our Lakers group text Miles sometimes when Miles got like a tiny baby, so he can't really participate like like he might have wanted to when

he was sans a toddler. But that being said, one of the most important, one of the most wonderful times of the year, one of two. I would argue, if you're in the specifically basketball with football, it would be you know the combine, you know, yeah, the combine when you're looking at the new recruits and you see her, you know how fast you could run your forty yards. But for basketball, it's there's Summer League, which is so fun.

But Summer League is really set up because of really the greatest day in the NBA, and it's Draft Day. Draft season is just it's just so fun. Now. Granted, a lot of times you have like the free agencies, you have all these different trade agreements and this and this, But if there is any parallel to the drama and entertainment and narratives of it, all that would come from like a WWE. The closest comparison the Dell Novela of basketball is draft season. You're watching kids come up from college,

come up from basketball. You're looking at your team, how well your team did last year, trying to figure out who gets what, who's gonna go where you want to know who's gonna come go in the lottery, in the first round of the draft. And it's just so exciting.

But anybody who's been following the drafts for long enough knows that with all that excitement, all the group techs you're doing, all the stuff you send it to the these all the arguments at the at the dice game, all the arguments you know at the barbershop, you know, or at least you should know. Don't buy the jersey yet, because it's a whole lot of shuffling going around. It's a whole lot of willing and dealing and back end stuff that there's no way for you to know about

unless you are completely tapped in. So right now you should know. This is the season for politics of the NBA draft. Hood politics, y'all.

Speaker 2

But fors but looking like this, but look, it's like this, bulikas like this.

Speaker 1

Okay, it's been quite a gang bang week. First of all, fam in front of everybody in all the surveillance camera, this fool Luigi Homie's name is Luigi, y'all. And I thought the way that this man is brazenly walking freely throughout New York, smiling, taking his mask off the surveillance cameras much mean this man feel very insulated, like Bruh's gotta be mobbed up. That's what I thought, because I'm like, oh, this is a mob heit Homie, Like who we talk about is the all up in the open murder of

the CEO of United Healthcare. Now, it was completely caught on camera like this, the my man rented a line scooter, no less, put the blicky in the basket, rode up talking to an old lady before it was like, excuse me for a second, man, you know it was nice talking to you man. Okay, fi too, just look turn his TV off, bruh. Just ain't scared in all of New York who knew the street code, was like, yeah, I don't know. I ain't seen nothing. I wasn't there.

I got there a little late. I mean something wrong Miami my glasses. Oh no, I ain't see nothing. Who you got a picture of him? Yeah, I don't know who that is. I ain't never seen that fool. I ain't from around here, Thank you very much, officer. Nobody saw anything, which is funny because everybody saw everything. New York knew the rules, and then the rest of America was treating his mug like it was when Clean Elizabeth died. Talking about Lizzie's in the box. You know what I'm saying.

He was like, listen, resting, pissed, my nigga, you shouldn't have taken that job. That's what the most of America was saying. But we was conflicted right, because it was the same conflict with Queen Elizabeth died, where it was like, yes, yes, that's somebody's grandma, that's somebody's mother, and I'm sure she is loved by her family, and yes, death is a tragedy. However, niggas die every day. The way that the raping, pillaging of my ancestors is set up, the way the erasure

of my culture is set up. They looking at this brother, like, listen, the way that my health care benefits are set up, Oh my bad. The way that my extreme cope is set up, the way that my pre existing condition is set up, means I cannot afford to be sad for you right now. That was a wild situation. Turns out Homie is radical, but like radical in the sense that like, these corporations must die, my nigga. The original early reporting says, Lejlmie just does not like how the healthcare system works.

He had a person that was in hospice care and he ain't like how they treated him. So he was like, I'm just going to murder the CEO. Now, obviously, CEOs are like dandelion weeds. Your pull one just one just gonna pop right back. Up, so it's not you're actually doing something, but except for a murder and a man, but this be the sentiment in international news. My lord, they actually did it. The Syrian Civil War is actually over.

I mean this goes back to the Arab Spring. But shar Alasad like who is I mean, the open the dictionary, look for the word dictator. That's what this man is. You understand that man ben at chare you understand a Sad family been in charge since President Nixon, my nigga and then finally and that during the Arab Spring, the hts Uh that's the name of the squad. They used to be like sort of live homies of al Qaeda.

But then little homie that run. It was like, we need to straighten up and have like let's let's take ourselves serious. We need to partner with people because at the end of the day, it's about the liberation of Assyria or not us Syria. That's so bible, the liberation of Syria. And over the last week they looked and they was like, okay, I see your big homies is busy. Now who is asides big homies Russia and Iran. Russia is clearly busy. Iran stretched too thin. They're like, oh,

oh we gotta help the houthies. Oh we gotta help a mash. We gotta help Hesbela and Hesbela got they ass beat you know what I'm saying. And hamas he I mean they not doing like Isra is mopping the flow with these people. So the hts who Again, these people ain't no heroes now. They definitely like just gonna be another oppressive. Their various very extreme. But they was like this our chance and this this nigga sah got out the hood. He was like, I'm out because, like

you know, y'all can have this. I don't want to smoke. He's like, oh you don't want to smoke. Okay word, So he rolled out. He hiding away in Russia. He like, look I'm out and check this out. People all up in the palaces like ghost riding his whips, taking furniture home, they taking plates. Oh listen, I look man, I'm with the I'm with all that. I'm with all that. Uh Syrians. Man, go in there and get you some clothes like pillage, pillage that man's spot. You understand what I'm saying, Go

make you a sandwich. I need you to ride up into a sad's crib and make a sandwich. I love it. I'm with all that, y'all. Now, who feeling froggy? Is iceis? I just like, Yo, this is our time, homie. Everybody distracted. Old Joe Biden was like, slow, you roll, licens you roll now, I'll shoot you out the sky, homie. That's not your turn. Gonna sit down somewhere. President Elect Trump said this serious situation. Sound like a serious problem. This

is a seriously not in my situation. So I'm like, I ain't let look, I got too many people to deport my nigga. Like, I ain't got nothing. I ain't got no time for y'all's foolishness. We got our own foolishness. Oh lord, all right, back to the show like this. Now, I know you've seen all these alerts, all these breaking news stories about who Trump's picks are, and then obviously the most prominent ones like the Matt Gates of the world, you know who backed out because I mean, how you

can be too messy for Trump is beyond me. Like, that's a messy brother if he too messy for Trump. Anyway, those are the big names now, I would like to remind you that you know, Kobe Bryant, the lifelong Laker, wasn't drafted to the Lakers. He was actually thirteenth pick overall, and he was drafted to the Charlotte Hornets. So for like an hour he was actually a Hornets. Think about how different history would be. He was traded for Vlade Devoks,

which eventually came back to the Lakers. But you'd have to know all that and really be into sports to know these things. Now, the question one would ask is, like, how do all these deals get set up? You may remember recently that bron figured out how to get his son, who is a g leaguer at best, onto the Lakers to make history. Now, obviously, I'm completely here for black people practicing nepotism. I'm here for it because, I mean, the Bus family owns the Lakers, and it was because

Jerry wanted to make sure his kids got the team. Now, the difference between Jerry and most white people that practiced this type of nepotism is they really had to earn it. Now, they also had to earn his love. But either way, I'm all for that. But that being said, it's a lot of stuff that don't make the news that makes this stuff happen. It's a lot of wheels and wheeling and dealing behind the scenes. Who gets how much money for what? And really the player has not really the

ultimate say, which is kind of crazy. You know what I'm saying, the agent, you know, the team, because if a team decides they're going to trade you on no matter how much you want to stay there, you can't stay there because you have to understand the NBA is its own institution. Of course, there are owners of teams and stuff like that, but like it's they're their own institution, and the commissioner of the NBA is making sure that

the entirety of the league stays interesting. You can block trades, which is what happened which I think broke the Lakers when Chris Paul trade got blocked in twenty twelve. The point is, don't buy your jerseys just yet. You gotta wait. It's too early. It's too early in draft season. And a lot of times you might settle with the drafts and then go to summer league and then you got somebody that's, like you know, on the bubble that probably ain't gonna make the team. This is the only time

they gonna get this. You didn't go in the early rounds. You didn't. You didn't You wasn't in the first, second, or third round for us to even know who you were or even track your career. You might sometimes just be a kid playing that was doing door dash, that could just really hoop and had a chance to maybe try out for one of the bush leagues of the team, and then they bring you into the summer league to see if you could really run with the big boys.

And as you notice, if you follow basketball in the summer league, your stars don't really play because they already on the team. You're trying to see, you see who's gonna continue on the team or who gonna make the team. And every once in a while a star is born because that door dash kid happened to be Austin Reeves. Aar. Now, if you and of basketball, that's one of the coldest white boys. See Ian got this theory. Ian, that's our executive producer over here at cools One, which I totally

agree with. The Lakers have this gift of selecting really cold white boys like and when you add that to Sophie's theory, which is we win the only time we win our championships. Part of the pieces that you need is a cold white boy. And I mean you got to go back to Jerry West, I mean Kurt Rambis, like Power Gasol, Vlad Devoks. You need your white boy. And once you get your white boy, oh man, now we got I remember Caruso. I'm still mad we miss

the Caruso. Now we got west Side, Connect Gang, Connect Gang, and we got ar fifteen. Now. I don't know when this became a sports pod, but the point I'm trying to make is Trump is picking his captains and this is just draft season. So don't get too excited. Now, let's get a little more deeper into it next. All right,

here we go. We're back now to try to get into the brain of the who and why and how you get on this list is at this point something incredibly different than the rest of US history because Trump is, for what it's worth, a brand new animal in this particular office. It's not like he's the first person to be like him. He's just the first person to be

like to become president in America. Now, why I say that is obviously very obvious points wildly, but also means that a lot of art what you haven't figured out by now, then I don't know what you're not watching. A lot of our normal tools of interpretation, prediction, and analysis have had to get retooled and thrown out the window. But that's because you have to just accept the obvious. Sometimes you have to just accept what things are like.

For example, if you with a significant other and all the signs about this significant other is showing that this significant other is probably just not into you, then listen, they probably just not into you. It is what it is. And the quicker you just accept it for being what it is, the better you gonna be, because then you know how to move. Listen. The only complications about the war in Palestine is because use you just don't want to admit what you actually see, this is an ethnic cleansing.

The only complication about the foundation of America is if you just don't want to accept what you saw, which is that was an ethnic cleansing. Like that's they were just you just trying to like and you could dance, you could put lipstick on a pig, you could, you could, you could cover that up as much as you want, but the reality is it's what is what it looks like, and sometimes you just have to accept that things are just what they look like. Now. They not always what

they look like, but sometimes they absolutely are. Now. What you should probably already know too, is of what we know, there is so much we don't. It's like our understanding of the universe in general. The love you know, the the now it's a cliche. The more you learn, the less you know. So the more you learn about really how this thing works, the more you realize the amount of things that you don't know. And it's not so much that it's unknowable. It's just you ain't at the table,

you ain't in the group text, you know. And if they do their jobs, then the stuff that gets to the media is kind of purposeful, like it's not leaking. It's like creating a narrative here. Now with basketball, there's two things going on, right and I'm gonna bring this parallel into politics of it all in a second, But it's, you know, fifty percent business as far as like you have a good team, you sell tickets, you sell tickets, you sell merch, you sell merch, you get sponsors, but

you gotta win, Like none of it matters. If you're not winning, you messing with your pocket. You're not winning. Now, there's another wrinkle to that as far as like winning. But even if you if you have a star, like you get the biggest name, like say, for example, during the Ball Brothers during that time, they were the biggest names,

but they wasn't winning. So even though you might have a star, if you're not winning, you're really not gonna make the bread that you need to make because they only gonna people can only gonna go watch a star

lose once or twice. You gotta start winning. So there's the basketball of it all, the strategy that specifically for that particular team, But then there's also the entertainment value in the industry as a whole, the NBA as a whole, that says, I want to keep you engaged in this narrative even while we not playing, because think about it,

we're talking about the NBA while the season's over. So if you're doing it while the season's over, you're still selling ads because they air the NBA Draft, So you're selling ads, you're getting all the social media press, you're taking a lot of air oxygen out of just the media circus in general. Rule you your players are now getting deals, like there's so much money to be made

if I keep you involved in the narrative. And how I keep you involved in the narrative is the same way you get somebody to go from episode three to episode four is I give you a reason to keep paying attention. But I have to like slow leak that I can't tell you the whole story. And then sometimes because again at the end of the day, we're watching

people do business. You got to keep your cards to yourself, right, I can't show you my cards, So I'm not going to tell the press cause I might be like, you know what I'm saying, Like if you a player and you know you got you in a bidding war between you know, Milwaukee and you know the Knicks, you might secretly be like, man, I'm talking to like my homeboy who's on the Knicks. I'm talking to his agent. He's in the ear this person to like, you know, make

make sure that my deal go through. So I'm really just leveraging Milwaukee to make sure that New York pays me more. So there it's a gainsmanship going on here that is happening at the same time that the for profit companies themselves are working out to make sure that every that they make money. Also following me, now, politics

is no different. Now check this out. Just as you have players that can move around and coaches, and when coaches put together their staff, right, the staff, the coaching staff still needs to be approved by you know, the owners, right, But they put together their staff, they agreed on their contracts. They make those things work, just like the players you put your roster together. But then there are also people

there that don't have to be approved. They're just hired, like your physical trainer, your medical your support staff that doesn't have to go through any that's just a job. And no matter who's the coach, this is their job. It's also the same in politics. Now, what I was going to do today was run through the entire list of people that Trump has announced to be in his cabinet.

But that sounds like a twenty twenty five issue. I'm about ready to slap this laptop closed and be like this sounds like it's we're almost in the let's circle back after the holiday season. We are almost there. But also it's the point I'm making with this episode, don't buy the jerseys yet. None of these people are confirmed or are going to guarantee to be confirmed, which is normal. But what's even more wild is the turnover rate that Trump often has. Do you know how many chiefs of

staff Trump went through the first time? Bruh went through four chiefs of staff, which is kind of wild. So they had a new boss every year. Like that's got a little difficult when you look at his turnover rate. Right, Listen, every president has a turnover rate, right and Brookings dot edu. So the Brookings Institute did a study of the last few presidents in their turnover rate, which again is normal in year one, year two, year three, and year four

and then the total turnover. So Reagan had first year seventeen percent turnover meaning people who get hired and fired right second year forty percent. Now there is quite an understanding as to what was going on. Then that's you know, stagflation, Reaganomics, stuff, Iran Contra, all that stuff. Right then he had thirteen percent the third year, and then the fourth year was eight percent. He had a total of seventy eight percent

turnover rate, right, which is pretty high. Bush Senior, Daddy Bush had sixty six overall is his highest was thirty two percent one year. Right, let's see who else had a high one. Clinton. You know, we'll get off the Republicans for a little bit. Clinton had a seventy four percent turnover rate, right, Obama had seventy one percent. Bush had sixty three. Trump had a ninety two percent turnover rate. This man almost fired literally one hundred percent. This man

almost this man almost fired his whole staff. Now I'm a grant him the fact that he had never done this before. He had only been in a private sector, he never ran a government, so give him that. However, Wow, ninety two percent. Now he brags about that. He's like, look, if you ain't with it, you out, which says to me, for somebody that values loyalty, you show don't give it. So I'm just saying, draw your own conclusions with that.

But all that to say, as these lists are dropping, Bro, they don't stay how long with Steve Bannon around you? Like another thing you need to understand about Trump. That's what I mean by the rules have changed. That type of alpha, whatever version of alpha he has, can't be in the presence of another alpha like which to me is like not very alpha, But for him, that's why alphas don't last around him? Bannon gone, you know what I'm saying, Like he let that man let Paul Manniford

go to jail. You feel me? He let Roger Stone go to jail and then got him pardoned so he could remain a bous that man, don't he don't listen? He different, Which brings me to the question about how long Rfk and Elon Musk gonna last, because eventually the contest of pissing is gonna happen because I don't know if any of them men know how to follow, So we gonna see. Like I now, I should shut my mouth,

because if I've learned anything is don't predict nothing. I'm just I can't imagine somebody like an Elon standing for being berated by somebody he knows he could buy three times over, no matter what you need from him. I could be wrong. I've been wrong a lot, just saying it don't seem like it to me. Don't know how long that little relationship gonna last. And as an aside, the Department of Government Efficiency, I'm gonna say this again,

the Department of Government Efficiency has two chiefs. Do that sound efficient to you? I don't know that's the way anyway. There are two types of cabinet appointees. There are those that need to be confirmed and there are those that don't need to be confirmed. And who I'm saying confirmed

is confirmed by the Senate. Right, so Trump will announce his picks for positions like the all the offices like you know, Medicare and Medicaid, the EPA, Commerce, you know, the FDA, Transport, the Secretary of State, the Eternal General, the Defense, the dn I, the CIA, the Department of Labor, like all these different departments that make a president work. The Ambassador to Finance, the head of the Navy, the Department you know, the Health Department, all these different people.

And then there's the ones that don't need to be confirmed because you just named it. These my folks, this one I'm putting in charge, one of which is the vice president obviously the deputy chief of staff and the chief of staff you just choose that. That's Susan Wiles, which, again, like we said when we was in the Fire and Theory podcast, like I don't know why anybody would line up to work for this place knowing that isn't ninety two percent chance you're finna get fired, but you know,

maybe you different. Right, the head of the FCC, the Department of National Security is Alex Wong, you know, the Public Laison, the Senior Advisor Ukraine and Russian Envoy Legislative Affairs, you know, and again, like we said before, the government efficiency and then of course the withdrawn Attorney General Matt Gaates. So those positions are the ones that do not re choir Senate approval, which is like you again, your staff that comes with the new coach, right, that's just this

who they are. And then there's a whole tier of workers that just work for the government right now with that squad, normally, this is just who the president get. Now, what Trump said was the people that was in that level was part of why his government didn't work very well. While he was always frustrated because he was like, y' y'all really wasn't on board with what I'm trying to do here, but I was just stuck with you. So what I want to do is make sure that I'm

gonna be able to fire y'all if y'all ain't. If y'all don't get with the program, you either get on or get down. If y'all not gonna get on, then I'm gonna fire you. Now again, this is us throwing the map out the window because you usually not supposed to be able to do that. Them is just boring pencil pusher bureaucrats that he's say in his mind, they was out here sabotaging it. So he like, I'm not trying to I don't want that in my office right now.

I'm not trying to have this in my house. So he gonna change the law to make sure he could fire him, bringing everybody that he says is quote unquote loyal. Now, remember when you're drafting the team, your hope is to win, right, so you have to look at your strengths and your weaknesses. Like in basketball, if it's like, yo, we got a

Lebron James type big man point guard. We need a pure point guard right that, and we also need a big man because if you know basketball, it's impossible to win without a second piece, either a power forward or a center. You have to have it. There's no to get real nineties on you, there is no You have to have Scottie Piven, right, you have to have Shaq and Kobe. You have to have or Kobe and Shack. You have to have Kobe and power Gasol. You need the second piece, right, bron and ad you have to

have this second piece. And if you really want to run a dynasty, you need a third and fourth piece. And they have to get along. If the point in the post don't get along, it's just not gonna work again. If you know basketball, point in the posts have to get along, and it's the same in the government, like the point in the posts have to get along. Now, how you pick these people based on this idea that you want to win you need the post to get along. Is sometimes you just need to be a good hang.

I've told a lot of young artists who are really trying to get on tours, maybe trying to get in the studio sessions, get some songwriting credits, maybe be the bass player on a tour. Sometimes it's not so much you being a guitar virtuo, so it's you being a good hang. Like is the vibe gonna be weird on the bus? Like if you cool to kick it with, you have no idea how far it'll get. You just being cool to kick it with, because eventually all that ass kissing, you know, all that like it. It kind

of gets old. You gotta be cool to be around in addition to you being excellent at your job. But from what I have found, you can be a B plus a minus at the job. If you are an A plus, hang because I got to be around you all the time. So the way that Trump calculates that is, do you have something resembling somewhat close to a skill that's in the general vicinity of what we're talking about. But you really good on camera and you'll do whatever

the hell I tell you, Then you're in. And it seems as though this is like his calculation, right, who's just down? And one way to know, here's what I found. One way to know, at least with Trump. One way to know if you're down, if he thinks you're down or not, is if demand drags you and you don't say shit, is that you you back down when he bears his teeth. Here's my first example of that. Marco Rubio. Ain't no way in the world I'm working for a man that called me little Marco. But maybe that's why

I'm not the Secretary of State. Maybe that's why I'm sitting here, you know, doing side hustles to try to make sure I could pay this California mortgage because I ain't gonna let no man call me little nothing like and then go work for him. But who knows if he's gonna pass through. Like I said, don't buy your

jersey just yet. A few of the standouts that I'm just gonna lay out here that you know, like I said, like going through all of them just isn't really worth our time because we won't even know if they're gonna make the team. But another one of the standouts is your man's Cash Patel. He want him to be ahead of the FBI. Now they now remember the homie Komi who stood up against Trump, fired that nigga, and then he brought in a due Chris Ray, who would like kiss

that man's ass the whole time. But now it's time for a new one and a new one now. Usually the FBI post is a ten year post, and it was designed for that so that you don't weaponize. The FBI had the DJ but like I said, throw out the map, but he bought in cash Plateail, and Cash Patel said. What he gonna do is day one, he gonna go over to the Hoover building, the FBI building and shut it down and turn it into a museum of the deep state. My nigga said, I'm ending the

FBI and honestly, no notes. But what he gonna do after that, he said is I'm gonna send all them agents into the into America to arrest criminals. So what he mean by that is people that got something against Trump, because we already got police. What you're sending the agents into America? Like, what is you? He he prosecuting Trump's enemies. That's the plan, which shouldn't surprise you because he told

you that was the plan. Trump told you that was the Plan's gonna turn that mug into a gusta fold just for his own political enemies. And the thing is he told you he was gonna do that. That's the part that I'm like, you voted for this, this is what you asked for. Y'all asked for this. Hey, you can't act like you ain't no, like, this is what he said he was gonna do. He's gotta prosecutor. Of course, to youboy keep saying, nah, he doesn't mean that. He

continually says what he means. I don't understand what y'all don't understand. As we know, it's been announced that the sister that is part of the family that had kids pointing their crotches that they teach us the degeneration ex Lady Linda McMahon, is about to be the head of Education, of which he already said he was disbanding anyway. So

there's that. Now, he's just the highest one these your first round drafts, right, and sometimes the first round draft picks, like I said, they don't end up being on the team. They get traded for other stuff, and then it'd be like the fourth and fifth round kid that end up being in the Star. So so you know, don't don't

don't buy the jersey yet. The Department of Medicare and Medicaid administrator, my man doctor Oz, that had all of our mamas looking at our poop because apparently he was telling everybody that's how you know if you're healthy or not, as if your poop is good. Now, what sucks about doctor Oz is the fact that as an actual like surgeon, like a brain surgeon, like, he was actually an excellent doctor. Where there's a whole series on Behind the Baskets about him.

It's just him giving one hundred and seventy five episodes of medical advice. Eventually you're gonna run out of shit to say and start talking nonsense. And you should know to diagnose somebody, To get somebody a medical advice from the television is completely unethical, nigga, Like, how do you know you talking to five million people? Anyway, the head of as we know, the head of Health and Human Services,

the secretary would be RFK. They put basically a man with a parasite in charge of all the anti parasites. You talk about the man that drove home with a whale on his roof. Oh man, let me start laughing. You never know. Listen, here's the thing. I hope it works. Look sometimes I've watched the LA Lakers draft and I've been like, nigga, what the hell are y'all doing? But I tell you what, I hope it works. So look,

I hope it works. Now, these are the ones that are announced, but they have to be confirmed by the Senate. Now what these are just a few of these people, Like I said, you don't know if they're gonna stay. Another one and Chris Wright, the Secretary of Energy, the man who wants to just drill baby, drill, frack baby frack right, which is so weird because he's standing right next to the the same job the electric car. Dude, I just what's happening right now? But anyway, I might

be wrong, y'all. The funniest one is guess where the one black man is housing and urban development, just like be incarcon.

Speaker 3

Oh man, that's where he put the one black man over the house and get over. He put the black man two times in a row.

Speaker 1

Over y'all, y'all see why that's funny, right like you, oh man, I swear this man is a cartoon all right now real quick. The guys who do have their jobs until they don't, because again we know how Trump works. You got, at least as of today, you got Chief of Staff Susie Wilds. You got the deputy chief of staff, James Blair, the second deputy chief of staff. We got Taylor Bach. Another chief of staff is Stephen Miller, you know, the like raging Nazi. You got the borders are as

Thomas Homan. You got National Secretary Advisor Michael Waltz. You got Stephen chung Over, the Community Director. You got Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, let me see who else would actually be somebody I would really care to know about, because some of the stuff is like you know, the Shane Batti eight of it all basketball joke, little purpose, eless public laison, Alex latching and of course, like we said, the Department of Government Efficiency. It's Elon Musk and the

vake rhymes with cake Ramaswami. But don't buy your birth don't buy your jerseys yet. Okay, just let it play out. Okay if I calm down, when I calm down, But just like you know, don't buy your jerseys yet. We gotta let summer week gain politics.
