SC Wants All the Smoke

playing their hand, they flying, they flag. You can't be mad at them. And they it seems like they actually played that Trump hand very well. Thanks the old Mitch. Sometimes you see a hood or a settle like you know, and look, I'm saying this from a position of I watched it happen. You know, I said so many time the gang banging day in my life. But I had

to learn how to talk to y'all. I had to know how y'all move so I can survive, be able to just walk home safely, so I know how to politic with y'all, because how else are we gonna live here? You know what I'm saying. So you watch this stuff happen, you know, Homi Teslin over there at the Straighten Old

Chasers show. She gave this example on the pod we did just brothers say, hey, man, I need six neeks to go move down to the I E. And set up shop over there, you know what I'm saying, and get us established in this area, you feel me, And then we're gonna start moving some weight after that. But listen, nobody moved until I tell you we gotta get this all set. Once it's set up, though, there's no stopping us.

It's our block, it's our hood. And I remember as kids seeing people who will be on the phone talking about like, hey, whatever happened to Carlos or Tommy whatever? Right, Oh, I ain't had to move to Arkansas, you know for the summer. He's staying with his auntie and Oklahoma, like and they fall off the planet to us. Little did I know that he was over there setting up shop. You know what I'm saying. They had an uncle, you know,

talk to the big homies. Damn up, Like it's working out, you know what I'm saying, Like, how do sets travel like like that? You go set up shop, you know, and it works like this. I don't know what else to say, it works, and it works the same with the Supreme Court. Oh, Mitch Mitch put On for the Hood Politics, y'all. He so good right now, little politics y'all.

So listen, I did the the Straight No Chaser pod with uh the O G Test Live, and I mean, she banged on me like you're okay, you're doing this, you know this hood this politics stuff, like where you from? What's that you claim you know? And um, I had to clarify, like you know really what I'm doing here? You feel me? That Like I'm coming from a more sociological educational approach as far as like the stuff I try to cover, like she get into the policy like she she and the weeds in a way that like

I'm just not good at you feel me? And she also like she was outside like you don't really bang. So I was telling me where I was from perspective I'm coming from, which is more like learning how to like I gotta move among all y'all, Nick's so I have to understand how everybody moves. You feel me? Even the way she came at me is like proof of concept of my show. I have to know how to

answer her. You know what I'm saying because that's she real ast g You know what I'm saying, So, like you better know how to talk to these real ast nikes. You know I'm saying like or this do not pass God. You know what I'm saying. So that's what I mean by like the way that I'm approaching this show. It's like I know how to answer her. She banged on me. I told her the truth, like there's only two or three degrees separation among gangsters. Nigga, you can't lie about

this ship, you know what I'm saying. So I told her where I'm from, told her who I ran with, told him I o JS, told her where. You know what I'm saying, what I didn't do niggas, I don't know. You gotta tell the truth. You feel me because you've done And she g checked me a few times and it's like dig that's how you move Like, so I would say, like I'm talking to the rest of the hood, you feel me while she talking to the set. You

know what I'm saying. Anyway, Uh, we started talking about Mitch and how I was like, Mitch, I'll hear hustling man, he don't really care like Mitch is getting his lips together, making his moves, doing he gotta do. She was like, no nigga, he putting off for the hood, like he sent the six niggas to the I E. And them six niggas was the Supreme Court justice. This fool worked Trump so well, put on so hard that the Supreme Court is now a six three leaning conservative, a six

three Republican thing. Now what do I mean by that? A Supreme Court justice is a lifelong appointment the goal in its inception for the Supreme Court. Look, there's the Constitution is pretty quiet about it. It just basically says, I mean, there's no rules on it except for we should have one. And for for a long time, it really ain't played a role that it plays now. They'd even have an office. It was like a basement, you

feel me. And because of the way that the colleagues were set up in the First States, it traveled, you know what I'm saying, the Supreme Court like would travel on horse buggy. It didn't play the role it plays, you feel me. It wasn't until there wasn't no rules about how many justices are Suppo used to be on the Supreme Court, Like that's we added that later, and it wasn't until James Madison who kind of figured out, like, uh, this could be a lick. We could make this work

for ourselves. They were supposed to be again, the Supreme Court is supposed to be the most removed from the political process. That's why they're not elected, That's why they appointed, and that's why they stayed forever. The idea was to keep them away from being swayed by partisan politics. Y'all see how well that went right. But if you think about it for a second, you it's like, okay, if the president get on top. It's like, you mean to tell me I get to pick who get to be

the final say about stuff? You're tripping if I'm not gonna exploit this, Like that's quite Why would I not exploit this? You're telling me I get to pick the refs? Are you tripping? Of course, I'm going to do this. I'm gonna set up shot. I'm are you telling me I could put a man on the inside. You mean tell me all the men inside men could be mine? Oh it is all like that's easy and it works now.

Lesson for us out here is that means you have to vote because it matters not just about who's sitting in that office, but who they're gonna elect to sit on our courts, because that's what solidified the laws, you know what I'm saying. So like like, so I'm telling like men like hoods, listen, voting for elected officials is not just for that person, Like we're talking about the laws we're gonna have to sit up under. So it's like,

you gotta vote. And of course I know what I'm saying this too, felons, you know, who can't, but that law can change, so us around the homies who know they don't get a voice, Like that's on us then, and that means that we need to go out there and make sure we cast and votes that concern our community because we know the type of laws that might

get passed later. So now we have nine Supreme Court justices, and for the last couple of decades it's been a majority split where it's like either four conservatives five liberals or vice versa, five conservatives for liberals. And that's kind of how it's gone for a while. And then food started dying and retiring. You know what I'm saying. RBG and Justice Scalia, they just started. They just started falling off because it's a life long thing. The only way

to get out is to retire or die. So Trump and mentioned him the Republicans was like, Yo, we got three seats, we could get three up in this mud that foo got three Supreme Court like he just set up shops and now it's a six three majority conservative judge. So that means we're ready for the smoke. Now, bring it on. Let's go square up. Everybody, give me all the cases y'all afraid to talk to because we got

off pizza in place. Now, now let me back up again and talk a little bit about constitutional interpretation and where at least current, because again it wasn't always like this. Where currently this binary of conservative or liberal judges kind of fall Give me, give me a smoke, I want it all. For the most part, your conservative judges are what they would call themselves as constitutionalist, meaning this is

a fixed document. The framers said exactly what they meant, and it is locked in stone, and it is our job to look at that document and not pontificate or philosophies. It's like, no, this is what it says, and we

need to draw logical conclusions based on the Constitution. That's what y'all hired me to do is interpret the Constitution, but to not I mean a lot of times, like there's a lot of theological with parallels with this ship to where it's like you have your strict orthodoxy of what the scriptures, the Bible or the Quran, what it says, Like no, it literally says this Bible said maybe seven days, it was made in seven days. You know what I'm saying, Like,

this is not this is not for debate. It's what it says, you know, which is kind of an unfair interpretation. But anyway, then you have we're on the liberal side who would say, well, this is a living and fluid document. There's no way these guys in the seventeen hundreds could have imagined the Internet or the world we've been a live into. So the document is our starting point, and it's purposefully ambiguous because they were calculating for stuff that

they don't know was coming. Thomas Jefferson was quoted of saying, I suppose it's asking a man to wear his coat as when he was a boy. Two make a person be subject to his ancestors. Barbarism is basically like we know in the future life gonna be different, so you shouldn't have to do what we're doing. Now, go back to your conservative side. They say, well, that's what amendments are for. That's what he was talking about. He was saying, well,

you add amendments, but the Constitution itself it's fixed. And again back to the liberal side, there's like, okay, yeah, those are addendums, which is great, I'm glad day the are. But it's preposterous for you to think that these framers actually thought that this document did. We wouldn't be able to go back in and go, oh yeah, that's they couldn't have imagined our culture. So there's things we gotta change anyway. So these are the two ways these people fall.

Right now, you're concern everative dudes, they on top. Now you should be flashing back to your third fourth grade. Our bill becomes a law. It's supposed to happen in Congress. But unless you just ain't watched a lick of news or paid attention at all for the last foulk presidents, Congress can't do it. They can't make no decisions. It keep getting filipbusted, and you just you can't get none out.

So that's why foods have been leaning on the courts ultimately as the like the kill switch, you know, the final say for things you're trying to get passed. It wasn't designed that way, but that's how it's working. So it's like, Yo, you're in the ocean, you might as well swim. That's this is the situation now. Now Oftentimes when we talk about laws being passed, and I think I got said this so many times, but it's like

it's so true and reality is so hood. It's like no one's arguing the merits of the case people making. Nobody's arguing like the principles of a bill you're trying to get past. That's not how Congress work. So I was in a studio session with the Homi Noah James King. I E like, I don't the man is the king of the I E. I used the Inland Empire. If you don't notice, like and you know, hit boy, that's the I E. Like rialto Fontana, like Red Land's Marino Valley,

Rancho upland Ontario like Pomona. These are I can't stress enough that you can't underestimate the realness of the Inland empire. It's nothing to play around with. Anyway. He was talking about this situation where neighborhood there was some cars that kept getting broken into. It was messing up his situation. Noah was like, concert promotes, I should let him tell

the story, but it's so perfect for this moment. And it was kind of crazy because as he was telling this story, I was like, man, I swear this happened like the same thing happening in my neighborhood. Was wild anyway, you know, Noah was concert promoting, so him being the type of nigger that like the block trust and he could go get an audience with the O G s. You know, he just pulled up to him and was like, hey man, what can we do? Do you need something

from us? And then Noah says, hey, man, I see you got a lot of little homies that want to wrap. How about I put them on shows? See that's how you're supposed to respond, like, what can we do? You just respect the O G. What can we do? So he started booking these little homies for the shows and it Scott, listen, you don't address the fact that there's mad breaking and entering happening in the city. Because nobody interested in you arguing the merits of whether this is

right or wrong. Is you talking about I need something from you? You need maybe I could offer you something that in exchange for what I need for you. That's that's yeah, that's how the Congress works. They're either trying to get somebody out of office or you're trying to set up a bag for later. Like they're not concerned with the merits of the law. Were working here, you you follow me, It just ain't been working for the

last they've been working. And I have my theories that's why they ain't been working this because the hood is riled up. You feel me like they look like I said that, the Republicans ain't scared. They're not scared of nobody. I knew some dudes like that growing up, where you just it's just like he this this boy is just not scared. I think I said it in one of one of the episodes before, like my uncle's Sonny look at somebody in the face and being like, you think

I'm scared of the police. I know for a fact he's not scared. So that and that's I mean, that's the g code, Like you just scared of y'all sent me to jail, it do you know, double back and triple my income. Like I'm not scared. So anyway, servatives got their weight up and they're ready for the smoke. They're ready to take on some of the hardest cases, just these big cultural flashpoints in America that leads to protests and riots. There is one thing I did notice though,

is they're definitely not talking about no reparations. They're definitely not talking about no damn but January six insurrection because Congress stopped that from happening. Because white people get away with ship all the time in America. That's why we need, you know, persons of color and I know, like to be honest, like black people, we need to come to the table and like start making these agendas because we

keep putting people in office and then they don't. They don't do ship for us, you know what I'm saying, Because you could look at the cases that they've taken on it like this ain't got nothing to do with us. Right we are at the hundred year anniversary of the Tussa race riots where they burnt down Black Wall Street. Joe Biden was supposed to do he did it today he was supped or yesterday. He's supposed to do this thing honor. He didn't say a damn word. There's three

living survivors. There was no and will not be any restitution for this because I mean on set, I mean, it's pretty it's pretty simple. So when you think about the nine eleven style commission, which is what was done to put an official record on paper for perpetuity as to what happened in the September eleventh attack, just for the for final record, so we can know for a fact this is what went down, and this is how

we prevent it from happening again. We were trying to have this happened for the January six insurrection for the record's people already you know, and we talked about in the shut Up you Ain't Gonna do Ship episode. There's already people going through, you know, litigation for it. But an official record that says this is what the hell happened. This is how we got here. Here's how we make sure it don't go down again. They shot that down. Let me tell you why, because gang gang they're not

scared of us. I need like, do you are you following me? They're not scared of us. They won't the smoke. They literally looked at everybody, gestures wildly and was like the up. You don't get ship. We're not scary of matter of fact, we want to smoke. Give me a smoke, Give me all smoke. Give me are smoke, Give me all smoke. Give me are smoke all Yo. So we're back.

So the cases they want to take on, they're gonna take on I mean, two really big ones that how much to do with black people, because I mean, because you know why. But they're taking this on. They're taking on one abortion case. They ain't taking an abortion case in forever. And the question that they considering is it's kind of like this. The question is when does the

fetal rights kick in. Right since nineteen seventy three when we passed you know, Roe v. Wade Up to the second trimester, this is federal law up to the second trimester. It's really up to the woman. What you're gonna do, How are you gonna do it? That's what the law protects that like yo, up to here, up to the second trimester, it's this is your right, it's your body. At the third trimester, this is when states get to

speak into Okay, well what about the fetus? You know what I'm saying, that's like the obviously that's one of the talking points about this is like, well when does the fetus get right? Right? So that's the question they're asking. They're gonna start questioning that second trimester line to say, well, really is this? Is that really the mark? Like when can states start regulating and a abortion? And how can

we make that federal? Is the question they're asking now, as y'all know, you can't even say the word abort without starting a riot. You feel me because nobody is ready to move anywhere. We all pushing as hard as we can for what you believe is right. And I think what's so interesting about this particular case and this particular cause, and it's really why the why the Democrats? I feel like I still can't get that ship together over this is this double talk. I feel like it's

double if I'm putting myself in a conservative shoe. Right, if you say there are five pro life issues, right, you know, healthcare, immigration, abortion, childcare, prison system, these are all like you know, death penalties are all like life issues. Some could argued that four out of five of those issues the left got covered. They're doing very well in them,

but that one. You know, if you run down your your more liberal conservative, they're going most of these policies I'm really I really don't ride for, but this one, this baby thing, that's just they're like, I gotta put a flag some you feel me like, and the flag is in their mind. They murder like this, how can I talk about anything else if you don't let the kid live? Like in their mind, I'm not saying this what I'm just talking about day mind. So they like

this one thing. It's it's so watershed that it's like, I just don't know how I could justify letting this one go. And I think until the Democrats learn how to talk about this thing a little better than being like, well, I personally would never have an abortion, but I think, you know, it's okay if somebody else does. It's like if you I'm talking from a Republican year, Republican, hear here what they could bang your hood? Like what do you just say? What you mean? You know what I'm saying,

Like they don't work for them. They just like nigga, you not because remember they're not scared. They say what they mean they're looking at they looking at the Democrats like nigga, say what just bang your hood? Like if this is what you feel, that's what you feel? What is this ship? This double talk? Make it like you know what I'm saying, like I don't believe you. I get it, I get white, and I feel like that's why until the Democrats learn how to speak about this,

I just don't know. Now. Granted, the vast majority of America isn't as cut and dry about abortion as the Republican basis. I think the vast majority of America really is kind of fluid with how they how they see and define this, and some people just like, looking, I ain't gonna touch this at all, stay out of this. It's authority, I get it. You know what I'm saying. It is authority idea. But now Republicans they set up shop,

they're good. The next thing they're taken on is guns, and I'm like, you think they care at all about your school shootings? You think they're scared at all of y'all. They haven't taken the gun issue in ten years. And what they're taken on is this New York law requiring a license for concealed weapon. There's asking if a license, if having to have a license to conceal a weapon outside is constitutional in your house is a different story, Like you know, you can have a gun in your house,

but the but the right to carry and conceal. They're hoping to set some precedents. Now again, what's crazy about the situation is they gotta vote to burn. You only need five to get a law declared constitutional or unconstitutional because it's only nine justices. They got six, so that means one of them niggas can wild out and vote the wrong way or request to sit out, and they still get it. They set up shops and they're good. Now Listen, it usually takes for these big old cases

the Supreme Courts. It usually tries to wait until the end of the term to finally, like that year's turn to finally like you know, make some decisions. Because so they get to say basically they get to drop Mike, they make the law in them or they declare whether it's constitution or not in then bounced. I'm saying. Then what happens after that is like it's got to get kicked back to Congress because you still gotta make something

you know what I'm saying. And then Congress continues to get into a filibuster, they get deadlocked, and then then some sort of executive order and then the other side argues that, like, that's no fair, it's just it's just this this bush to just keep happening. But in this scenario, Conservatives sitting good right now. And you know what, if you got any respect for a g listen, I don't

care what you think about them. Next, well played, sir, well played, because they didn't set up shot bro, and now they like Supreme Court, give me all the smoke. I want it all. They could bring your best nigga. What's up where everybody lives? Nobody worried. That's some g ship, y'all. Look you see it because I'm telling you, man, if you understand growing up in the hood, you understand politics, y'all. This mug was recorded and edited by me Propaganda right
