Whooo Chile, Let Me Put You On

That being said, ain't no research experts here. We're now writing scripts. It's me and it's just there's no way to keep up. There's no way to keep up with everything happening, man, I told y'all. Part of like, you know, the gangbanging thing for me, a part of even just like the Cool Kids table was like, I can't keep up with the TMZ of it all. It's too much stuff to keep up with. I can't. I got other things I'm interested in. I can't. Just I like, I don't.

I think I said this before, like I don't follow like Shade Room, like I don't follow that account because that stuff like trying to keep up for me, like it just makes me anxious. I don't want to feel anxious and like I'm gonna be real happy for the holidays to win, I can, like good God, not consume so much dog on news. Oh man, I mean I say that as somebody not being currently carpet bombed DUDEO,

So please please excuse my level of privilege. But there are so many things I've wanted to talk about this year. It's just so much has happened at I may able cover it off. So this week is gonna be somewhat of a cleanup type episode, which we've never done before. We've never done like a grab bag type episode in the one hundred and summer episodes we've ever done. So you just came over to your auntie house and we just finish, kiky, I'm gonna catch you up, child. Let

me tell you what you missed. Man, listen, hood politics, y'all, lord have mercy? Well all right, well, but versus like this? What look is like this? What look is like this? But look look look, look it's like this. So I'm recording this section right now. On Monday, April fourth, the day after Club Real Ones November three, which is why my voice is a little little raspy. It was also Halloween. It was also Da delos Morthos, because you know I married me that first Gym Mexican woman that she don't

play games on Da de los Morithos. My house is full of marigolds and panuerito and pictures of dead relatives. It's actually pretty beautiful for you if you understand what's going on here. And like I said last week, I feel like the gift God gave us was the beauty of the Dodgers. And what better gift than La versus New York a Dodgers versus Yankees World series, then a parade. I got to let my daughter go to her first Dodgers parade, just so amazing. And I think that was

all because this week is finna be trash. Now you're hearing this after the night of the election. If I were to predict something, we still don't know who the president is. And even if we do, these Trump folks ain't gonna accept anything but victory. So we either gonna have riots or protests, either angry riots or fun riots from either way. I just don't see anybody accepting I don't see anyone. I don't see this week going well. So I'm hoping that you're doing your prayers and meditations,

that you getting your workout in. I hopefully y'all listen to last week to take care of yourself, because good God. So I don't know what the hell is happening right now. I just know the Dodgers one. Maybe you'll stop getting texts from commalaodup. I know people still dying in Gaza. And I dropped a song called I Didn't Leave Now. The song is exists mainly on my YouTube and social media's and I wanted to get it out before this election kind of about really just kind of where I've

been mentally over all this. And I think y'all, whoo've been around who knew me pre behind the bastards you already knew, like the place I played in sort of Western Christian spaces, and then I just kind of like what y'all would think is left and like I didn't leave, y'all did judoes at I've been talking. I've been trying to tell y'all about this head has since my poem twenty years go pull that down since cynical. You know,

if you're on my Patreon. I'm telling the story of all my lyrics from all the way back to the tunnel Rack crew, and I know for y'all who you know checked in since behind the baskets you're like, I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but I am a rapper. Also, anyway, sin's a song called it Didn't Leave. Please go run that up. And what's probably happening right now is riots. So no, oh, man, go get your gun license. All right, it's like that. It's

like this, Okay. So, while we was enjoying all the foolishness around Diddy and his choices and cracking jokes about that, while we was enjoying memes about couch humping and Olympics and ray Gun and just so much has happened in the meantime. Sudan's in one of the worst civil wars in human history, the greatest humanitarian crisis owned the planet. There's that, there's a dude that's made that's being sued by Spotify by hacking the system and making millions and

millions of dollars by using AI music. There's the Kentucky sheriff who shot a judge. There's the cops in Mississippi that broke into a black man's house and tortured him. Like, we ain't even talked about Congo yet. Like, my lord, we needje air. This world is so big and so much is happening, yo, and that ass don't even give me started about buddy Eric Godams saying, Yo, be as wily you heard yo? What uh what we call on the West Coast? Uh? This is actually funny because we

just did the Weirdos episode. What we calling weirdos like they were calling New York that's a bozo Like Look at this bozo right here, Yo, Eric had a ben I'm sorry, man, it buck bring me so much joy because it's just y'all. Please forgive me. Mama. My mom listened to this sometimes in some of my my aunties in them, but this is just nigga shit like he did, Lord, he just it's just niggas stuff. Anyway, my mama actually speaking to my mama. She actually just called me right

before I started recording this. Ain't got nothing to doing thathing we talking about, but I just wanted to share with you my mama and my sister called me because my sister had a memory of when my mother essentially taught her that she not wanted to be played with. And I don't. It seems like it's a core memory for my sister. And my mom was like, girl, that ain't happened. I ain't never done that. And I think I have fleeting memories of how I felt about what

might have happened. I don't remember it specifically, but I do know my mother was very clear about like, I'm from the projects. I know I speak very clearly. I know I'm a god fearing woman. I'm very calm, and I keep my composure oftentimes, and I don't yell and curse at y'all. And my mom didn't. But don't play in my face.

because everybody's in everybody's business. Seventeen hundred people. This judge named Kevin Mullins, fifty four years old, was shot dead in his body multiple times by his own county sheriff, Sean m Steins. What we know so far is they was outside arguing in front of the courthouse, and after that this man shot him multiple times. And we don't necessarily know why that. There's some rumors going around that this judge was messing with this man's doata, this man's

underage douta. But we don't know for a fact what happened. The thing is still under investigation. But the plot of thickens because Homie when he goes to face arrayment, when he's like when he's when he's indicted on the accounts, he's arrested, and he's about to go get indicted on accounts, right this little forty three year old cop as he walks in there to get processed. Brah mann Stein's was deposed in a lawsuit Dude by these two women who said that one of this man's deputies forced her to

have sex inside of mulleins chambers. For six months in exchange for losing no jail time, and the lawsuit says that this bruh was totally okay with it. They messy down there now that former sheriff Ben Fields, he pled guilty and served some jail time. And you know, as a matter of fact, let me let me just quote from the quotes, okay, because yo can he country folks don't play man like if what they're saying about Mulleins

is true. Where now, fam, Okay, here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. Here's from CBS, he said. Steins was deposed on Monday in a lawsuit filed by two women who alleged that a deputy forced her to have sex inside m Lynch chambers for six months in exchange to stay out of jail. The lawsuit accuses the sheriff of deliberate indifference in failing to adequately train and supervise the deputy. The now former Deputy staff Ben Fields pled guilty to raping the female

prisoner while she was on home incarceration. Fields was sentenced a year and six months in jail and six and a half years on probation for rape sodomy, perjury, and tampering with prisoner monitoring device. So this nigga went in there, this fool just like did you remove her anklet just absolute nasty work down there, die a nasty work. The Mountain Ridge Eagle, this is the Mountain Ridge Eagle. That's who reported it. Three charges related to the second woman

were dismissed because she is now dead. Nigga, that's what it's say. This is reported by CBS News, the Associated Press, and the local papers out there. So just to recap out in the sticks of Kentucky, cops shot a judge. The cop that shot the judge was totally okay with the fact that he shot the judge, but was deposed in a lawsuit for twenty twenty two where one of his former deputies was out there doing the nasty inside of Judge Mullin's offices in exchange for no jail time.

Look that's what happened. Now, let's move south from Kentucky to Mississippi to some foolishness y'all. In Mississippi. You know, thank the Lord, justice was served here. You got six cops, six former Mississippi cops are doing ten to forty years you got Chris Deadman, twenty nine former narcotics investigator. Right, you got Brent mcalfin fifty three years old, former RICO chief investigator. You got Hunt Elward thirty one years old, former RICO deputy. You got Jeffrey Middleton forty six years

old RICO investigator. You got Daniel Yeah, i'say, you say his name, Daniel op Dyke twenty eight years old, former RICO destiny investigator. And you got Joshua Hatfield thirty two years old. So Joshua got ten years in prison, Daniel got seventeen years in priss seventeen and a half years in prison, jeff Middleton got seventeen and a half years

in prison. Hunter Elward thirty one years old, he got twenty years in prison, Brent mccaffin got twenty seven in the fourth years in prison, and Chris Deadman twenty nine years old, got forty years in prison. Now what they get in prison for? According to the Department of Justice, it says the depravity of the crimes committed by these defendants cannot be overstated, and they will now spend ten to forty years in prison for their heinous attack on citizens.

They had sworn to protect, according to Attorney General Merrick Garland, and I peak this, this will happen. These niggas got a nickname for it, this day little gang. When we used to say, when I've been trying to tell you these cops as gangs, don't don't let that badge fool you. Check this out. These defendants kicked in the door in the house where two black men were residing, handcuffed and arrested them without probable cause, called them racial slurs, punched, kicked, tased,

and assaulted them. After one of the defendants fired his gun in the mouth of the victims, breaking his jaw, the defendants gathered outside to come up with a cover story as the victims lay bleeding on the floor. Officers who violate constitutional rights will be held accountable by the Justice Department for their crimes crimes that harm individual victims and betray their entire communities. Dog FBI said it's hard to imagine a more atrocist set of civil rights violations

than those carried out by the defendants in this case. Nigga, I can't this, we can't even like, I don't even know the cops. The FBI is like for the FBI to be like, nigga, y'all real racist, like y'all crazy, but y'all like we crazy, But nigga, y'all crazy. I mean, the diddy stuff is sex trafficking. That's real. We need to deal with that. I'm just saying though, all this who shot John about all like this was really going

on in these streets. These fools call themselves the Goon Squad, and they were orchestrating their mission to enter the home in Braxton, Ranking County, Mississippi, where two black men were just mining their own business. It's hard to understate, like you can't overstate it's a terror like these are terrorists, y'all. They said when they was in there, they fired their

guns twice just to intimidate them. They just pushed them, kicked them, said they tasted them seventeen times, held them down, and put liquids on their faces, forced them to involuntarily ingest the liquid, threw eggs at them, it salted them with dildos. Nigga, why you what's wrong with y'all? Why you got dildos? But you know, you know, we don't have a racism problem. Macaffe and the senior officer on the scene, failed to intervene to stop this torture or abuse,

and stole property while the incident was a current. This nigga robbing them. Hey, but you know that. But the police are to protect and serve. It's just a few bad apples. Do do Do Do do boooooop do do do do do do do do? This is a dil assaul on account of three say one two three? You know what I'm saying, bro? Can you so just why we don't call the cops? Why, like how we land at abolition? Like this is how you land at it?

This man bleeding on the floor after you shot this nigga in the mouth, and then here here and then the hears this. They planted a BB gun on the man, destroyed the surveillance video. See this right here is premeditation. They tried to make it look like it was like evidence of a of a drug crime lab. They followed. They filed false reports, charging this man with crimes he didn't commit, making false statements to investigators, and pressuring witnesses

to stick to the cover story. This happened this year, y'all. This isn't a cartel. This the police, the goon squad that's their little set, the goon squad. All right, okay, but yeah you law and order right, I'm an abolitionist, but I'm just saying them brothers deserve that time. Okay. Let's talk about something funny now, because it's also some This is a great play. This story is about music, the music industry, streaming services DSPs, and a whole lot

of funny things. For me, that part of me feels like this is what's this is everything wrong about music industry now, and that's what the hell y'all get This man ran this place so a producer out of Europe. This man has made get this? Are you ready for it? This man has made six hundred and eighty nine songs over the span of several years, made them all by AI. This nigga used another AI thing to shoot up his streams and has made millions of dollars in royalties off

the streaming services. And now Spotify want to sue him because they're saying is a Danish man. They're saying this is music streaming fraud, and he's accused of breaching copyright law by taking works of other artists, changing their length and tempo and publishing them under his own name right. This case was investigated by the National Unit for Special Crime that's expected to find a verdict pretty soon. Now

I'm finna dog walk both of them. So I have no love for this man for stealing other people's work. I am a musician. I have sat many times at my house and have heard versions of courses that I know I've written and didn't use, of sessions with artists where we didn't finish the song. I've seen people on podcasts and award ceremonies saying my words as their own. It's kind of rearranged a little bit, don't get me wrong.

Deeply offended by biers. And then if you're gonna profit off a bite like yeah, miss me, miss me with anything, miss me, like I hope you I don't know, man, I hope uh, I hope the sesame seeds on your sushi are actually mosquitoes. I don't know. Now let me dog walk the industry. Now, y'all so excited about AI. You have record labels firing, dropping, dropping forty percent of their acts, downsizing their staff by fifty percent because everybody

excited about AI. And you know what AI can do is what's called an interpolation, because all AI does is it takes other people's work. Matter of fact, what's that boy? Sam bankruen Free wanted it. I just saw an article recently that said, you know what's not fair? Copyright isn't fair to AI because AI can't work unless it uses

everybody else's work. Nigga, what you can't? You can't copyright your content because they say, okay, it's like it's like AI is essentially Ricky Bobby talking to cal not in Junior saying when cal Nott and Junior says, hey, well maybe you think one time I can be first, and Ricky's like, that's cool, but if you know, if if you're first, then that means that I'm not first. So you know how our role not first or last? So you can't be first because that means I'm not first.

Day telling us that AI only work unless it's steal your work. So what did this man do? So they work and just change it up a little bit and uploaded it on stream, and then what did he do? What marketing programs do they sell us to us all the time. You can buy I don't know if you notice you can buy them. You ever wonder how some songs get up to forty five million streams. How does this have? This president got twenty two monthly describe it?

Song got forty five million streams? Did it go viral somewhere? No, it's click farms in India. You can buy those and rather now, rather than using the clickfarms, you could just run a AI, big old, huge radio acts with number one songs on the radio. Canceling their tours. Why because they don't have fans. They can't sell tickets. You got a billion streams, but don't nobody want to come see you because those aren't real. There was a band a few years back that was like, okay, cool, here, here's

an album that's silence. And they told they fans, if you just run this album, just put us play and go to sleep and run up them streams all night, tour for free off the revenue from these from these streamers. And that's what they did. They made a gang of money on an album that was blank, took that money and went to tour. You know who else played the game?

This brother Rohan yore out in Sweden. Listen this man got let me let me go and read this to you from this from the Guardian, a secret composer who has released music under hundreds of different names, has been identified as Sweden's most to listen to artists on Spotify like pull in more plays than Britney Spears or Abba. His name is Johan Rohr. He is a person behind more than six hundred and fifty different artists. It says that combined among these different artists names, he's got fifteen

billion plays. You know what he makes instrumental studying music. Forty seven year old dude has created twenty two thousand, seven hundred songs on the platform under random names Maya Astro and all them like you know, Swedish dots and stuff all over the top of their names. This man is the most streamed in the top one hundred. We got songs like peaceful Piano and stress relief right and look it, you know the music you put on when you're just reading, like we all stressed. And he was

just like, listen, it's a numbers game. I don't need to. It's hard to run up, you know, one hundred million subscribers, you know, or monthly listeners. But you can run up one hundred million own on one hundred thousand different artists. If you add them all together, he played the game. It's possible that this man has made two point four million euro on streamings now, according to The Guardian says, how much Roor, who has worked as a conductor on Pop Stars to and on the TV, has earned from

his agreement with Spotify's not known. However, his private company reported he made thirty two point seven million in Swedish money or two point four million in twenty twenty two. He declined to comment right and did not responded Guardian's request for comment. This is around the time that Spotify is bragging about the fact that they're paying out to artists, that we're here and we're actually everybody says frist streaming don't pay. Look, this man just made so much while

at the same time he broke the system. You supposed to be You supposed to be the platform that levels the playing field for artists, but you not, y'all created this monster. He figured out how to get his money from y'all. Now am I a fan of that? Now that's frustrating because I'm just an artist. But I ain't got I ain't got no smoke for him. He figured out the system, but back to the lawsuit. Though, y'all all of a sudden, now that this your money, you

care about plagiarism, You care about copyrights? Now this now that he taking your money? Now you care? Oh, you care about these click forms and streams. Now that this your money, Now that you got to pay out? Baby, Listen, you created this monster. Y'all made this. This is what happened. You made this. You are y'all following with what I'm saying here. Y'all made this happen. Y'all created this by creating a system that incentivizes us to just use programs.

Because when we try to go to old fashioned way, you know what you do? You squash the algorithm. Do you know how many people that follow me that say they never see my flyers, they never see my content, They never know when my music is coming out. Because you want me to pay for the people that has already chosen to hear my stuff. I gotta pay, y'all for you to show my stuff to the people that have chosen to see my stuff. And you mad this man tricking your system. Let me tell you how dirty

they're doing us. Now. They got this thing called discovery mode where they'll take a percentage of the royalties they would pay out, and they're like, yo, we'll take that money and we'll build some ads for you and we'll run ads while that's going on in the background. And so the money you were supposed to pay me you get to keep so that the people that chose to hear my music are able to hear it. Cold is Ice by Vinyl. Y'all go to the website. Please please.

If you like an artist, please follow them. Don't just be a monthly listener, Like if they show up on your release, rightdar, click it, go to the albuma like. I hate this, but this is all happening all while and Trump is saying people are eating cats. I got no love lost now having said that, so here's why this makes me laugh so much again. I mean, I hate that guy who may not even I hate that guy because that's cheating. But also if you're gonna cheat,

somebody cheat them. And finally, which probably deserves its own episode, but it's just too much happening. Is Mayor Eric Adams head ass Yo, yoll dead ass, yoll dead ass, this fool. I can't stop laughing about this hood ass nigga. Like, Okay, y'all Eric Adams doing nigga shit like this, Like I hate to say it like this, but this some niggash. So if you don't know who Mayor Eric Adams is, he's the mayor of New York Bronx. He talked like

he from the Bronx. He sound like he sound like he's a member of mob deep you heard you know what I'm saying. He sound like he sound like he He sounded like he go to bed in some times like he just the man sounds so New York. Brother man was a cop because he said he felt like he could change the system from within, because he from the Boogie down Brooks and now he live in Brooklyn. And then when he moved to Brooklyn, be sta, do a die, you make it, We take it. Your done,

your son. So he moves to Brooklyn and he mad, wow, you're there's this position in the New York government structure that's a little more symbolic. That's supposed to be like the mayor of Brooklyn because Brooklyn for a long time was its own city until it became a part of just one of the boroughs. Brooklyn's the biggest boroughs anyway, So there's this symbolic position where you're supposed to like

represent Brooklyn. Now his thing. This nigga ain't even live in Brooklyn, but he had to keep that a secret because he rutted to play he's awesome lot. He's an awesome lot, Hoby. So anyway, so Mayor Eric Adams runs on this like after Mayor Bellaggio leaves, he gets mayor in twenty twenty two. He running on an anti corruption You know what I'm saying, I'm gonna clean up the streets. I'm gonna clean up. I'm gonna clean up the police too. I'm a former sheriff, so I'm gonna be tough on crime.

But I'm also from the bricks. Heard, so since I'm from the bricks, shine, you know, I'm gonna know how to like really you know, maneuver and not be not be my wild you know what I'm saying. With the shorties on the block, you feel me. That's how this man is so New York and that's what cracks me up. But since he hood, since he for a project. Baby, this nigga just liked nice stuff because he ain't never had no nice stuff. And what he liked to do

is travel. Bruh's accused of taking bribes from from Turkey, and what them bribes was is flight upgrades nigga vacations from Turkey's airlines. This full on a cartoonist level. The report's coming out about his text messages, his aides and assistance being like, yo, uh, but we need to go get these flights. And the flight was like, oh, you want to all expensive paid trip to Turkey, Okay, we'll

charge you whatt like fifty bucks. And the aid was like, well, you can't charge just that little for two first class tickets maybe, And the dude was like, should it be like a thousand? He's like, yeah, make it a thousand because we don't want it to look bad. This fucking he get a flight up grades in exchange for favorable laws. Whoa child. I don't know why. It's so it's so funny because it's so hood rat, he doing hood rat things.

I just want to I just want to go to Turk's kkos, but nigga, I'm trying to be out here and shining. And then some of the reporters The New York Times did a great story about how he be lying on dumb stuff like he ran on this thing about one of his officer friends got killed in the line of duty, and he said that he carried that man's picture with him in his wallet to remind him of just how serious the situation is for these officers

in our streets. So, in a very basic and normal and understandable reaction, this reporter was like, Yo, can I come see the photo. I want to take a picture of it for the story we're doing on you. He say, okay, word, they come in and show the photo, nigga. But the staff said they printed that photo on regular ass paper off the internet. They google the image of the dude used coffee to stay and age the photo just so

he could show it to the reporter. Big dog, all you had to say was I'm just give you I'm gonna give you a lie. Oh man, it's so torn up now you can't even see it no more like I mean, I care read it, but to be real, like it's falling apart now, I ain't got it. That's all you had to say, my nigga. Had they had them try to it's like it's a joke, my dude. When they took his phone to see his text messages, bruh Man said hey. They was like, yo, can you

open it? He was like, oh, I had to change the couch my personal phone, so I had to change the cold because I didn't want my staff to go into it. They was like, okay, cool, open it. He was like, I don't remember the code. I don't remember the nigga. You think they don't know how to get into your phone? My nigga, Hold lord, oh Lord, Eric Adams, listen if I was Charlemagne to God, this the donkey of the day, because bruh, it's just this is the

most New York story. And he like, nah, man, they just mad at me because you know, I'm out here being the next I'm biting with compassion, my nigga, know you not? Oh Lord? You are a borrow baby. You are. I just hear your timberlands when you talk. It's so funny to me. You messy as hell. Dog. So I

wanted to end this with something funny. I was gonna do the Sudanese Civil War, but I think I want to bring someone on from Search for Common Ground to talk about it more seriously, because there's a reality that on a serious note that kind of like really hurts as an American and sometimes I have to I'm being transparent here. Sometimes I had to go out of my

way to remind myself of this reality. It's that while I don't believe in oppression, Olympics and like pitting the importance of one group suffering in competition with the others, America tends to overlook African conflicts and I do think it has something deeply to do with anti blackness. But and this is no judgment to anybody advocating for Palestinian liberation,

because it's all connected. I believe it's all connected. You know, our liberation is connected to Palestine, which is connected to Lebanon, which is connected to mass incarceration, police state. It's all connected to me, like for real. But that being said, I am not as informed about Sudan, Congo and Nijaer as I am about Palestine and Ukraine, which has to do with American news. Like it's just this is just

really like I have to go seek that. If I want to know stuff about what's happening to black people, I have to go seek that out. And I don't want to throw that at the end of this episode,

because that's me continuing perpetuating the same thing. I'm saying this as like like even gear in my tone, like I feel just as guilty that you know, I too can like I can start to talk about you know, the Arab Spring, and I mean all the way back to the Babylonian Empire, about ancient Mesopotamia, like I can run the Israel Palestine play from five point thirty BC to now. I can't do that with Sudan, you know.

And that's to my shame, Like I'm saying this to my shame, you feel me, so yeah, So I'm gonna bring somebody else in for that to make sure that we're speaking more serious about it. But anyway, hey, listen, we missed a lot. This has been a very busy year. And hope you can find time, you feel me to to go chill up in the park and just wait for the sun to go down. It was me Sherry Road and the homies A light of shade. No, I'm a darker shade brown. And now some final thoughts about

this election. Well, we've been talking all year about it, you know, whether it's the primaries and Nicki Haley remember Nicki Haley and Desantos remember Des Antos. Remember that, remember when there was this like mirage of a diversity of thought, and Trump even didn't even have the decency to show up to any of those debates because he knew better,

he knew he didn't need to. I think one thing that like really gives me pauses the fact that no one ever stops running like the election season is now. It seems as though it was the entire four years, and maybe that was just a Trump thing to where

he was always running for office. The celebrity of it all kind of bothers me, And in a way that's kind of weird, because I love the idea of the American population being so tapped in to not just reality TV and sports, but people that actually affect the life that they're actually leading, People that you could actually reach out and touch, you can believe it or not, you could touch a politician like they matter of fact, they need you for their job. We should know their names.

My district district dude I voted for is David Kim, Like you should know their names. One of my wife's high school friends is running for school board. One of the guys one of the parents at my daughter's schools running for City Council in Pasadena, like you should know, you should know these people, but they're not celebrities. The entertainment of politics kind of defeats the point I think. I mean, like my feelings are I should feel about them the way that DJ had talked about it, where

it's like, man, why should I fuck with you? Prove me right or prove me wrong? Why should I fuck with you? Like, but besides that, I'll owe you nothing, Like I'm not a fan, just a fan. It's just weird. And since I'm a black man and somebody that knows how to read, there's no past, nostalgic era of politics that I'm longing for, no sort of civility that comes

from the past that makes me excited. No, my hope was to see us progress, to see transparency become better, that we would that the T threes, the T three thousands, would be better than the T one thousand. But I think you can't be a freshwater fish in a saltwater ocean. If you're picking up a metaphor here, what I'm saying is the institution does not allow for something new, So we're working with what we got. You're in the ocean, you might as well swim, so I'm looking for the

best saltwater fish. My next thought is around the evolution of strategy, and in that sense, it's kind of cool. The idea of you know, there was a time in America where people would drag you out your house and whoop your ass and then walk you to the voting booth to go vote for the person they wanted you to vote for. I love the idea of technology now. I am very much getting tired of getting text by kam a little. But I tell you what, strategy wise,

I think that's got to dope, you know. I wish that that would take the place of these commercials that are just assaulting us at all times. I like the idea of commercials. I hate the idea that commercials don't have to be fact checked. That sucks. I like the idea of trying to get on TikTok and communicating in a way that matches the culture. I like that it's

just just you know, maybe do it better. Ultimately, I'm not excited about the state of our politics, you know, like big shocker, right, people of good conscious are really stuck between a rock and a hard place here, you know. And then there's the reality of like I, unless you exist truly in a non nuanced click funnel of a world, I don't see how you could vote in full good

conscious for either of these options. And what a world we live in where, of course we know it's a big country, so no one's gonna get everything they want. But to just with a clear conscious be able to say this person is my person is it's kind of sad we're relegated to voting in good strategy where there are certain things that are just you know, complete non negotiables. And I think now it's time for me to say it.

If you don't already know that, you know Donald Trump's a non starter, there's and I mean even even if he's your guy, you're not his guy. He don't love you now. On the other hand, the conscious part is it's really exciting for me to see the idea of a black woman, a biracial black woman, sitting in the Oval office. That is very exciting to me. But that seat sits on top of a genocide of other people

of color, and that hurts to think. I believe that ultimately she is a better option for the people of Gaza. She's a better option for us in America in terms of she's not a visagogue. But I am not excited about this, And I even have friends that really are excited about Kamala. One of my friends have been stumping for Kamala since the first time she ran. He's sold, you know, and I'm you know, I'm not. You know. I have friends who have become so disillusioned that they're

just you know, they're just like, look, dude, I'm sitting out. Man. I can't. I can in good faith do this, which is why I respond with, you know, in good strategy. Now, in terms of the creep of fascism, which ain't creep, it's stomping, part of me finds solace in the idea that, like the rest of the world can pat us on our little head and say, oh, this is your first this is your first, uh dictator. Huh, it's so cute. Oh hey, hey, world, look, America got their first fascist dictator.

Oh you guys, Oh they're gonna They've never collapsed before. Hey, welcome to the club. Man. Every country collapsed. It's just weird because it's our first time seeing it. This wasn't our first threat of fascism, you know, refer to the Smetley Butler episodes. But yeah, yeah, we're in a very defining time. You know. Trust is at a low, and I just tomorrow's not or as it is today. For for for when you're listening to this, If Trump loses, it's not the end of the Trump error. It's just

it's just going to have a new name. It's as old as Caligula, you know, that thing that that that thing he brings that just man just feeds on the worst of us. My mom, in her you know, wisdom of some years lived, talked about the seed of mistrust.

She was talking specifically like in my marriage, you know, is when they when that germ, like when that one little thing, just that brain you know, that brainworm, when it just if that one little kernel of doubt it like it is so hard, so hard to bring that trust back. And I feel like that's America and its institutions, that that kernel of doubt that in a lot of ways is America's fault, Like it's the institution's fault that

we don't trust them because they not trustworthy. But when they are trying to do right by us, when they are just reporting the information to try to earn that trust back is daunting and that makes me sad. And this complete disbelief in the idea that a person can actually lose, that sometimes things just don't go your way. So you had a bad day, and why that is not of value anymore for at least half of our country is so bizarre to me to believe that like that,

if you lose, it's because they cheated. I mean, that's the opposite of morals. At the end of the day, the GOP needs an overhaul. You got to cancer, guys, and the Democrats you need a backbone. You need a bacchiotomy. Man, where's your heart at stand on your ten toes? I don't know, man, I wish I was more excited about this. I could be wrong you guys. In the future, you could tell me what's going on? All right? Politics? All right? Now, don't you hit stop on this pod. You better listen
