Conversations About Jesus (Happy Birthday)

missile toes in your apartment? Man, I'm not. You see how barren it is back here, So you're gonna have a missile toe to create like more of a warmer environment. I got nothing like that. I was thinking about getting like um unwrapped cigar tobacco bundles and hanging them around decoratively. But I'm worth the energy. Are you an egg nog drinker? I mean you are white. You know I hated that ship forever. You know for sure. It's the Glass Bottle

Milk Company and Montebello. They make an eggnog and it is incredible. An yes, they absolutely do. They knog it out of the park and that's the only egg nog I'll drink. And I drink it with with brandy and it is really really good. They nog it out of the part. What kind of brandy. I just get a cheap exo brandy put a little stink on it. Just it's just enough to cut. It's so rich it needs something to cut the richness. And that kind of does that for it. It makes the brand it taste better.

You buy gives at all. Yeah. Sometimes, I mean, I'm not buying anybody ship this year, but you know, whatever you are, man, I'll be thinking I'm crazy until I talk to you, and then I'll be like, Okay, at least I'm not alone in the world about that guy. No, I'm just not alone like somebody, because you'll be having some crazy ship going on. I mean, you and and like you are atheists, so I could imagine how the

Christmas times like surround you. Probably not as bad now that you're an adult, but growing up, I know that ship had to surround you. I like Christmas, I like Christianity, I like all that ship. I just I just can't make it happen to believe in God, not one of those people like some atheists like oh my God five the typically scene. I want to burn the house down. I'm not one of those people. You're not one of those atheists. No, I'm not. I'm not in your typical

white atheists. I just I just have them. So a mental is not connected to the other side. As far as faith goes. What's crazy is I'm not really I'm not a Christian at all. I consider myself a following of Jesus, but I'm not a Christian because, um, you're like a crip with an H a crypt with an age. What's a crypt with the Ah? You know? Because Christ has c h R I S t R I p R I P Yes, that's exactly what it would be. No seilings g L my Man Peter in the spot

as used. Wow, and we're working even on Christmas Eve. Who has a Christmas Eve podcast? So you off? I mean you ain't got to go to work, you know, I know you off today. Your kids ain't in your face. They got your face because they're waiting for later on tonight to go to open up present. So be you cooking, maybe you're chilling watching some some TV or something, but you get to enjoy me and Pete on Christmas Eve.

No other podcast will be available on Christmas Eve absolutely and nothing, and I mean nothing can prep you for Sunday morning church service like this podcast. Yeah, this is it's gonna get pretty funky. And I think Still is gonna pop in, so I know we're gonna drive him crazy. But back to the point um about it. I love the stories of Jesus, so I can get with. It's certain things about that when the Council and not see It came together and they started ordaining all of the

parts of Christianity. You know what I'm saying, It's certain things I can really deal with. I can deal with them deciding we're going to celebrate his birthday December. M hm, Right, I'm cool with that. So the parts that I really get with I rock with, but I can't get with the whole idea as a whole. So it always kept me from truly being the Christian other people work like. I'm very much a follower and a fan of Jesus Christ, but I'm not a follower of Christianity. Yeah, that's a

tough out. It always put me in this weird situation with family, you know, where you know, they want to tell me about slang and using slang as curse words and I just don't agree with some of it. It

don't even make sense at all. Yeah, I heard, you know, every once in a while listen to um podcasts that are there's like Jewish intellectuals, and they talk about some of that stuff, like, for example, you know, the the the using the Lord's name in vain thing and the actual you know, Old Testament meaning of that particular phrase. And it's not like I dropped the glass of water

on the floor spilled God, damn it. It's like not using the Lord's name in vain meaning don't say go, you know, give me a hundred dollars, just God said something like that would be using the Lord's name in vain, not cursing. So I don't even want to focus on the church because I want to separate Jesus from the church. And it's hard because Jesus loved the church. I don't know if you would quite love these niggas churches today,

these niggas churches is despicable, crappy ass churches. But so I want to separate Jesus from the modern day church because I'm just unimpressed. For sure, my favorite Jesus story is the story with him and the money changes, you have you know of that story? So is it like Tony Montana was buying dollar bills in the first scene of Scarface? Huh? Is it like how Tony Montana was buying dollar bills? And the interrogation first since Scarface, I've never seen scar Face, you never in life. I don't

even plan to see it. I've seen New Jack City. So hold up. But so that the money changes story, right, So back in that time, um, you would obviously go to the church, right, and to praise God and to praise him you would kind of donate these gold shekels. Right, So whatever you did at that time, whether if you as a pie maker you would trade in a pie

or two pies for shekels. If you was a carpenter, maybe you did some work for somebody for a shekel, but most of all of the stuff, you know that the currency at that time was to praise God, Right, that's the general idea of it. And a group of men right that they called the Money Changes, saw people's desire to praise God. I was like, oh man, this is the most important thing in their life. And so what they did was they start actually overcharging for the

shekels so they were overcharging you to praise God. So instead of maybe you get in, you know, you're trading in one pot for two shekels, it became we need three pies for two shekels. Got you know what I'm saying. So Jesus saw them changing. Huh, it's like deflation right, just right. So you're telling me that two thousand years ago there were a small concentration of Jewish people manipulated the currencies. I did not say Joe people. I've called

this money changers. Now they were Jewish people at the church and this was but I'm not gonna get into that because nobody as because yeah, we tend to ant. Got time to kick ass and tend the truth. So Jesus sees what's going on right that all of this overcharging to praise God and they're doing it at the actual temple. M hm. So Jesus like tell him, like, you know, y'all better get your lass up out of here.

What the hell is going on? And obviously they're they're not leaving, So Jesus gets a broom and start chasing niggas with the broom nigga around the temple. You mean to tell me Jesus wasn't a low like all that piece ship niggas talking about man. When he saw an injustice has something to do with God, he got a broom and chase niggas around. That motherfucker. That's my type of man. Man, that's my type of nigga. I love

the stories of Jesus. Jesus got some of the endless story, but that's my favorite Jesus story because I feel like everything is all too two more to most churchgoing folks, it's always about you know, turning the other cheek or letting things just be versus really defending God with a

different figor so. I really appreciated that about Jesus. That's my niggest issue with like specifically, like the Christian interpretation of of the concert of religion in general, is the fact that, particularly in the Protestant faiths, there it's like there's no consequences. It's always like, well, notice perfect, I forget blah blah, I can't judge me, and you know, forgive and forget. Also the crap I don't like that. Yeah, the lack of discipline, that's your thing. That the lack

of discipline. I respect that. If I was religious. I would probably be Jewish. I can't do the mutable thing with the alcohol prohibition, but I could do Jewish. Yeah, I mean, I do appreciate the discipline that comes with all of it. Um, and I think right, Jesus had to drink wine. M hmm. I wondered, like I always asked myself, like it's funny because we was on tour, and like I didn't. I didn't really realize Jesus drank wine. I know that sounds crazy, but I didn't really realize it.

And I was on tour with E forty for like a hundred dates it might have been like four months, and every day tried to convince me because to drink right. So he started off trying to convince me to drink cone yak right, and by the end of the tour he was trying to give me the drink wine. He's like, glasses, you never drank like us. He like, when you gotta drink with your uncle. Feel me, you know it's nothing wrong. No, I got some wine right here. Carlo Rossie. You know,

even Jesus drank wine. And I was like, Nikola, Jesus didn't drank wine, Yes he did. Time, so I wonder, Now, don't take this ship personal, but I wonder when he started chasing everybody out of the temple the changes and flipping over their tables and called them thieves. Sometimes I always think to myself Hitler, as a Christian person, I wonder, like, when you be thinking about ship, people be doing, he'd

be like, what really be people? Motivation? Yeah? But then I think about the wine and Jesus flipping over the table because he went hard, like he tripped out, and nobody ever tells his story. I thought about writing a movie about that particular story, Jesus tripping like tripping on the money changes. That would be a fire because you know that eventually led up to them crucifying. And that was one of the initial they always talked about. It is the fact that they felt he was walking around

acting like God. But it really wasn't that, you know, it was really the fact he started working with the money. He started working with that money, the shekels nigger should have to happen. Same thing with Abraham Lincoln. When Abraham Lincoln, it was all good toil he created until he printed them greenbacks, and nigga's got to get knocked off It's all good Andrew Jackson until he started sunk with that money. Nigga get shot. Nick has been getting shot over this

money and his financial system for a long motherfucking time. Man. It's probably the only reason why Nixon didn't get shot. He took everybody off the gold standard, started getting money away for free. He did a bush that nobody didn't to him. You know, it's a whole gang name after us the Watergate scandal. No really, it's a gang Watergate crip and they pride themselves at being like the shadiest niggas like Nixon. It's like, that's really I was like, bro,

why do y'all call yourself Watergate crips? Because were the shadiest naked like they the craftiest nikes breathing shout out to my homies from Watergate, even the Santa Anna water Gates from Southern niggas. You have you have watched Seinfeld at all? No, never. There was an episode in which Kramer at George got strong armed by a local street gang called the Van Buren Boys, and they called themselves the Van Buren Boys because they were as ruthless as

President van Buren himself. That was their motto like that that's fire. So yeah, that's my favorite Jesus story. I love of that story about Jesus man that that story is fired. Um. Sometimes I always think I have a genuine feeling, right, And we've talked about this on the podcast before. Really great I called the meeting and Nicia right, the council that came together that convened for Christianity. I always call it the greatest marketing meeting ever, right, because

they decided how Jesus Christ would be marketed. I don't want to use that word because maybe it comes across a bit fucked up, but it's true, like how how the story of Jesus Christ would be told, right, so from how they pick the books in the Bible were specific books, um, you know, and and it was it was a post yeah. And and I would like to believe they never mess with the words. They just used the books that fit exactly the marketing plan that they

were doing. So but something about my spirit really believes that there's so much more to Jesus that they didn't want us to have, because I get it, people need their deities. I used to be so upset when I first realized this, when I was like nineteen when I learned about the counsel and I see it and how you know that whole thing happened to create Christianity, Like I kind of felt manipulated, But today I feel like, um, I understand. It's how people need to see their deities.

It's how people need to worship people. Know what I'm saying, Like if they just told the story of Jesus like a solid ass nigger who had a kid, you know what I mean, it was with this little this ex prostitute what I'm saying, whatever it was, I don't think they would have sawd I don't I think they understood the average human mind would have saw that. Um, people couldn't log off, they didn't have to stay long on. But if you paint the picture of somebody who lives life,

a life that nobody could really live. Yeah, it's like when it's like with Tupac, what I'm saying, Like it's funny when I talk to people like right, because we'll be talking about Tupac must die and I'll see a fan tweet me like like you know, you would have never said that ship if Tupac was alive, as if Glasses Malone would have been scared of Tupac, Like I'm six ft three, like with real hands. Park was like

five six, like one forty sunken wig. But he was scared and you're just a regular sky Yeah, Like, why would I be scared of telling the truth, a true story about a man like I could see even even with his size disadvantage, I wouldn't have disrespected him. I wouldn't like walk up to the man and call him by his name. But like in their mind they believe I would have been feared. But again, it's how people need to see their deities. They need to see them

above reproach. Yeah, for sure. It's like like they make the little reference in Passing and Apocalypse now the duality of man, and there's an inherent weakness and man that eos maybe not simultaneous, but chronological hypocrisy if you piece it all together. There's no duality of God, there's no duality of righteousness. It's a it's an a mobile standard, you know. So for for people, I think that that's that's almost kind of like my my biggest issue with a lot of at least maybe it's a it's an

American thing. I don't know. But like a lot of Christians, at least in this country, are like, yeah, the book says to do this, but it also says God forgives. So there the four hundred pages kind of thing. And I'm like, but if the book was in such a way where it was like it says do this, it says Jesus, the Son of God, he didn't even do that. He forgives people further his short comings, And You're like, it would just be it'd be a stops fables for adults. Yeah,

I get it. So what do you actually I know you eight the is right, What do you actually know about Jesus m It's been a long time since, Like I've forgotten about Jesus um and nutshell, like son of God, who was you know, prodigal as far as his understanding of you know, the word and religion is at a young age, who was able to galaphanize a lot of people and you know, heard the stories, performed miraculous type feats often, and attempted to kind of restructure the way

the people of the time perceived religion and God himself almost viewed religion is like karate, It's just like a discipline. It's a way of life. M hm. He was kind of like Bruce Lee and even I think also when they tell the stories of the miracles, right, I always have this thought like, right, it's I'm not saying Jesus couldn't have been a magician. You know what I'm saying. I'm not saying Jesus wasn't a magician. What I'm saying

is somebody could tell a story. And because the story is two thousand year old, two thousand's two thousand years old, right, they don't have to tell the whole story. They could tell part of the story, right, Like when they talk about Jesus feeding all of these people with so many fish, and I was thinking to myself, what if it was tuna and he made tuna salad? Yeah, you know what I mean. That's not to say he couldn't have I'm not saying he didn't pass his hand because over you know,

and this be enough. I'm just saying context could be missing out. That's why I appreciate the stories because I think for certain people, right, they are what they need to be. But I think sometimes other human beings manipulate the stories. Of course that I think everybody manipulates the stories in their own mind. You said, they are what you teach you being what they need to be. I guess brilliantly put some people manipulate them outwardly. Everybody manipulates

them men. Really Yeah, um, what's the thing you don't not Christianity? Right? I understand what Christianity the fact of it lacks discipline. They they are allowed to to not even practice discipline. Um hm, what do you feel you you you? Um? What do you dislike the most about Jesus story that you can remember? Um? The perception that they's a socialist that I don't like. Oh, hug was

wrong with socialism? Peak it It's an optical illusion. It's like you know when you go into the The Hearted House ride in Disneyland and you stand there in that first that first room, and you look up and you think, Wow, they're raising the ceiling when they're really just lowering the floor. Yeah, socialism does the opposite. They they make you think that they're raising the floor when they're really just lowering the ceiling.

What socialism, right, is a sense of society caring for itself right and in the simple times, right before we start touching it. And it's not society caring for itself. It's the productive people in society caring for the unproductive people of society. But you don't. And even in Jesus story, you like you make the unproductive. How could somebody in society be unproductive? Like the thing is, maybe you profit more by keeping them or by or by keeping them

employed or productive for whatever your venture is. I don't think anybody in society has to be unproductive. I think it looks like the Parado distribution, you know, where a square root of the people produce fifty of the yield, and a square root of those people produce fifty of that yield. And that's true in almost everything that you could point to. I mean, you've seeing that happen over history,

just in simple you know, grarianism. But I would like to believe there were towns where everybody can do something and then they swap those things right for things that they didn't have. You'd like to believe that. I'd like to believe that all women want to sleep with me. But it doesn't make it true, just because I just continuinely believe some people just are worth nothing. It's something that some people are worth nothing. It's that it's that a small amount of people are worth so much more

than most people. And you think, I don't think, I don't. Who is really worth more than other people? What's what's worth? Or a doctor? See that's the thing. I'm talking about productivity and you're talking about humanity. People are human even in a sense of activity. Right. Let's say let's say you are a shoemaker m right, and you make shoes. Let's say in one week you can make four pair of shoes. Yeah right, Let's say me, right, I'm a I'm a anchor maker for ships. Right. It takes me

one month to make an anchor mhm. So in that one month, I made one anchor, and that one month you made somewhere between sixteen and twenty shoes. Who's more productive? See that's where you're I believe you're looking at it wrong.

The issue is there's a lot of people to make shoes and a lot of people to make anchors, and some people make so many shoes, and some of them make so many more anchors per there you know comparable life's span of time that you know that what they generate from their contribution to society is so much raider than the other person in a like field or like task.

That then socialism makes the guy who makes four shoes a month get earnings of twenty shoes a month because some guy were there makes a hundred fifty shoes a month because he's either innovated or works harder. I think that's a capitalist way to see it. So that one person is not making twenty pair of shoes he has hey no, no, no, like he's not if you if you analyze it from the person that's ultimately more productive, you have to use other people to be ridiculously productive.

Look at the best example of this of all time. Well, there's a couple, but the most easy to spot examples of all time is uh the Ukrainian weed and grained industry. Mhm. You have the same collection of population making the same thing for a long long time, and you've some people over time innovate or it's more important for them to

work at actually three hours a day. So over a time, farm A starts to produce a yield that is so much better than a farm B that it makes more sense for farm B to give their farm to farm A and go contribute some way to farm to the new farm A. So to speak, and then like when you saw stall and tape over the Ukraine and it came out of the Soviet unit, say oh, this is unfair all these people. You know that these small industry leader types own all the ship and everybody else has

so much less. Or we're gonna decapitate those people and we're gonna break it all up and give everybody else their own equal take theer's no go on as normal. It didn't. Everybody starved for death because all those people were so much less productive than than the other people. Yeah, but but again it auction is related into education and information, Like, no human being is born greater than other human beings, not not a humanity, non humanity, non humanity, but people

are born even even in even outside of humanity. You have to the only way to be more productive is to manipulate other human beings to be a part of your productivity. You don't have to manipulate them. You can compensate them. You can never compensate them because other than that, it wouldn't you wouldn't actually be making the profit we're

talking about. That means everybody who still would be working equally. Well, all right, if you're more driven motivated and innovative, then your efficiency model is going to be greater than the person next to you, who isn't what. I agree with that right, but it's still would be one person like even if like let's say if we both make shoes. Let's say you're driven to make more shoes. Right, So you're saying I'm not going to sleep eight hours, right

because I want to make more shoes. Whatever you're driven by, it is probably something foolish and actually unnecessary. But there's also the learning curve aspect of it, where for every time that I double the amount of shoes that I sell, the cost of production for a shoe goes down between But that's the point, and that's where I think you are right about me and a sense that i'm I am a humanitarian. It doesn't make sense for you to need too much in excess. It literally can do nothing

but take away from everybody else. There's not enough for everybody. Listen, there's only so much, right unless we're in America where where inflation is get out of control because they have too much money around its mother. But there could only be right so much, right, So if you're pushing yourself to have more than other people. It's not really related to your productivity. It's your desire for something greater. But a rising time lifts all ships. So if it and

for those types of things sequence what surplus does. Surplus allows thought. So people are are efficient enough to create surplus, then that's what breeds barbaring. If everybody had just barely enough of their own thing to not die, you couldn't afford to barter anything, and we'll all be living like aboriginals five thousand years. Agree, totally agree, But again, right, surplus versus excess, we're talking about things and excess. We're

talking about capitalism at his finest point. Right, the same thing Jesus would be mad about is you're taking advantage of people for a dire need to have excess, almost like gluttony. Excess is a subjective term, and it's not you have a wife and two kids, you don't actually need more than three bedrooms. If you have six, it's excess. But that's consumption. But you're talking about but you're trying

to apply consumption to production. No, no, I'm I'm so just back up to where we started from, right, what you're just saying that you're saying I'm speaking specifically about all right, lost my god damn trying to god damn it people. The point I'm saying is there is never a need for one human being to have excess. We just live in a society that makes people feel better because they have more than other people. There's never really

a need for people to have excess. And people in this country and most capitalistic countries have entirely too much of everything for people in this country to not have anything. But in a capitalist environment, it's transactional. So the more you have is reflective of how much you're able to provide other people because transactionally, you're getting something for for what you have. Again, but that's where it can actually start.

The line can be blurred. Right at the end of the day, you still are having a dire need to have excess. Like let's say if you Amazon, Amazon could pay everybody that works there a lot more. All it would take is for the person who created the idea to decide is profit share is not as important as making sure all human beings can make a great living. Yeah,

but what Amazon does? I mean, look at the Amazon's R and D, which makes okay, so you might make less your you might not make say, as much money as what you think you could be getting paid over there. And like now we're an interesting point because now like inflation is really a thing, like for real, and in the previous like say starting two years ago to twenty two years ago, inflation wasn't really a big deal because it was offset by the aggregate lowering of prices of

goods and the time price economics pressures. We just wanted that. It's it's like how America sales itself out. So we need to buy Chinese products because ain't nobody got no money. So if you want them to keep spending money, you need to have cheaper products, so you have cheaper quiet.

Even if we didn't do that with Chinese products, it would still have it wouldn't happen as aggressively, but it would still be happening, you know, only because people's dire need to make excessive if mine need to make excessive profit means everything that she purchased in your lifetime is half price. Is that terrible for you? Yes, because you're actually literally only allowing me to make enough to afford

half price. What's the difference. It's like, it's like if it's a. It's a difference, and it's just that you are fucking greedy, you fucking pig. It's the reason you should have twenty bedrooms in one child. Sure, but likely let's say, from the other guy's standpoint, there's no other guys that there's no there's no reason, there's no reason

for somebody with no kids to have twenty bedrooms. Yeah, but look at the other guy, Like, say, for me, you know the first guy, the if I'm Joe employee, right, and I live in Los Angeles, and I get twenty dollars an hour, and that's thirty dollars a year, whatever the hell I'm fucking hating, I'm hating it, you know. For me to be hating it as badly in l A, in Memphis or Houston, I only need dollars a year

to be in that same position. So it's all relative because the dollars myths and get the same pay rate. But everything costs us, and you're going to have just enough, just like you have just enough in California because of greedy people, because of money changes, because of people who literally decide that their goal is to have entirely too

much at the expense of people having not enough. Nobody should live in a sense to where their check to check, where they can't save enough money to put their kids through school, to change their stars. That was the whole

point of America. Right. But if if if, if you can come to the temple, right if if if the money changer can come to the temple, and they understand the value people have right of let's say, making an earnest living at that time, just of praising God, right because they believe that went into them making an earnest living, And they say, okay, to do this, We're going to charge you more because of your desire, Like they pray off people's um that that that concerned to to get stability,

you know what I mean. Like they know people don't want to. They know people see life in the way we live at me and you as a gamble. So I said, I'll give you something stable, but in exchange, right, you're going to just have enough. There's just no reason for that. That's historically since that time. Even in that story specifically, he could have said that you know what, man,

three posit is worth praising God is God. But he knew that people were taking an advantage of the rest of the society, like we watch it happen every day. So I love the concept of socialism. Right now, what have people done with it is probably gonna be a different conversation, you know what I mean, That's a different conversation. But the simple concept of it, just the words themselves,

where society cares for each other. If you it's like, what Jesus did you go around to help society right, get their lives on track, to have people stop looking down at each other, right, to have people help each other. That's not what's happening in our society because we are not a socialist or a society base. You know, this is not it's all totally about capitalizing or by far the most charitable society and the history of man. Now we're the most charitable society and the history of man. Yeah,

but who the funk cares? You don't? You only need charity because people are fucking poor. Those people, the overall majority of people, statistically are going to be poor because because only because a certain percentage want to be wealthy. Okay, when in human history, of the arc of human history was everybody rich? It's not rich? But okay, when when in the arc of human history was everybody poor the whole time. Again, poor is subjective. If we all have

the same none of us are poor. Yeah, but it's the again, and then that goes back to the person who is motivated enough to make it everything the more plentiful for everybody else, because otherwise everybody else they are because they need to get question the motivation. The question is always gonna be from a fucked up place. If I started, if I stockpile like a million and a half pounds of duck feathers over the next ten years.

First off, you could not possibly stockpile a million. Why he had to manipulate somebody, right, and to talk them into a situation to where you have them working for less than a worthy wage for you to have a surplus of duck feathers if you actually hate them, a reasonable ways to stockpile those duck feathers. This is a different conversation. I could do that easily. I would just go to a Chinese duck butcher and just take all

the feathers they throw them out. No, that that's not because then you would have to do all of the work. Like most people that are wealthy are using other human beings at under value. Most people who are wealthy start off doing the ship themselves, and then it gets so efficient that it makes sense for somebody else to stop doing what they're doing and go contribute to that thing, because they go, Wow, one percent of your thing is worth a way the funk more than a dent of

my shape. Not not really true, though, that's absolutely true. That that so to some degree. Right, Let's say, if you're building a software application and Mark Zuckerberg is like, yo, I got Facebook cracking. It's two thousand seven, and Mark Zuckerberg call you. That don't mean Mark Zuckerberg should not fucking pay you a reasonable fucking wage. There's no Zuckerberg. I don't know there. I don't know how Mark Zuckerberg lives with himself having building a fucking dollars a lot

of money, man, but a fuck his fucking people. How the funk do you have billions of dollars and there are people homeless? Like, how do you find a space in your mind? Right? Mark Zuckerberg just last year gave four hundred and fifty million dollars to get Joe By Electric for presidents. All he got to do is walk down the fucking street he gave four fifty million dollars to voter manipulation to get a grateful for because Trump

was on the fucking ass like a cheap man. You should be down on your knees thanking Mark Zuckerberg forgiving away all that money that he had that he was kind enough to give away so that we could all have inflation and now we have the idea of more money. Actually was pocket changed exactly exactly another motherfucker. And I

even get to this ship. The point I'm saying, Pete is I hate that sometime we get into this conversation only because like I know, you don't mean harm, Like I get it, but you don't know who falls to the bottom of this ship every time in this country historically or in the world historically, if there's going to be one motherfucker that's going to get screwed just because another motherfucker wanted some fucking too much money, it don't even be worth it. Who the funk needs more than

one million dollars a year? Who? What the fund? Do you need more than one if it's dollars a year? Yeah, If Bill Gates only made a million dollars a year, he couldn't afford to force vaccinate all those African people against their will for the COVID vaccine exactly. Not just imagine what if it was actually something more valuable in the COVID vaccine, if he was forcing on those people, like malaria vaccine exactly. So again, man, and it's funny

because we look right back around. That's why my favorite story is always going to be Jesus and the Money Changes. That is what made me a true fanatic of Jesus Christ. M hmm. He was my type of nigga when I read that. All the other stories was cool. The water. I never cared about the parlor tricks. I never cared about the Houdini ship. I don't care about the water the wine. Like you could be better than me just

because you chase the money changes, I don't. You don't have to have a magic twinkle touch to turn water into wine. All you gotta do is show me your heart big enough to stand for some ship that ain't right, even when it's gonna call you to die. The same reason I fell in love with the stories of Jesus Christ, it's the same reasons I fell in love with the stories of mart Luther King knowing you're gonna die and still standing for righteousness even tupa, you know. So it's

just weird, Pete. Is even Christmas like preparing for Christmas? You know tomorrow. It's different because we're in such a fucked up time and you're looking at what's going on in l A. Like you you entirely too much money, right, you give him all his E D. D money? Right? And then and there's people who was able to pay their bills, right, who who've been struggling, you know, through oppression and lack of opportunity, and they could pay their bills.

I'm not even gonna get into the people who actually hit a lick. Let's just talk about the average motherfucker that could pay their bills, right. They could pay their bills. Their baby mama didn't look at them. They have to go to their baby mama for rent. They have to do nothing. All they had to do was get the check and pay their bills. And what did America do? They said, you know what, there's too much money out here.

Let's allowed inflation to happen. So everybody's raising the prices of the goods, right, And that's fine because everybody can afford them. Where did you think the money was gonna come from? But it's not it's not the money. It's not where the money is gonna come from. Right, it's it's it's easy to say that, but you have to care for your society in the middle of a pandemic. Right, you have to care. Right. But the point I'm saying is, right, you allow them to pay their bills. Right, you raise

the prices. Then you take the money away. Right, you take the money away, and then the big the ship is still high. That's why Niggers is out here losing their mind. Nikkas is risking their lives, the future. The freedom kids is out here smashing ship up. Bro, they are going crazy like Jesus did with the money changers. They ain't crazy, even if their brain is not processing, you know, intellectually, they spirit no, something is wrong here. They go to rebel. The belief is that it's just

a bunch of criminals taking advantage. Then why wasn't this bad at first? The same people was here your soul to start telling you when some sh it ain't right? And guess what? Then you start to rebel. However, you used to getting a bunch of free money, and then they started giving out a free money like I like

free money. I don't have some more free money. And all over the country they have more job availability than people will don't do the job availability can nobody can't Nobody paying on my fucking in California with no job availability. That's why you fucking leave California. If you're sitting in California being broke, you're an idiot, period, then fucking leave. It's not that are that again again? What you're saying that right is you're making it okay for the gentrification

that's happening to happen. You know, we need to burn down all these motherfucking people houses because you are literally forcing burning down nobody's house. Is somebody's burning down anybody's houses. You what's going to happen, Pete is people are gonna start killing people. You can't just do anything to people, even if they don't know what you're doing. Pete, only like California and New York, bitch about this ship other people in other cities like for like like my guys

from West Side and Phoenix. I'm like, man, you know Phoenix really looks out for people. Man, they busted on up a sound a south side Phoenix. Move everybody out to Affidael. Just wait, the funk nicer over there. Only in l A. And people bitch about that ship where there everything costs a fortune. And the Bay Area too, the same little idiots up there. I mean, they're sucking up was open. You were just bitching about, how should

you west open was for the past thirty years. Now you move out to Antioch Courts new and you're and your man funk out of here with that ship. Pete, don't nobody give a funk if something is new. You're taking the one thing that they had from them that they can remember to force him to another place where they're still gonna be the same nigga, the same fucked

up ass skin, the same fucked up ass problems. Oakland wasn't always fucked up, and dint start off fucked up, neither the l A. It didn't start off fucked up. They're allowed it to get fucked up because who was there. So it ain't like Anti yok is not gonna become fucking Oakland. That's the problem, Pete. All we're doing is recycling this. We were recycling the same side that cycle

for to happen again. They're not moving and anti yoking is gonna stay new, and they're gonna create more opportunities to have motherfucker's work Livabo wages. They're gonna turn that ship into Oakland. Yeah, because it's like the first conversation I had with you with Malcolm the time of the net when like my exes mom when she the Juggles it was nice whenever, and you were like, why the

juggler sucked? Is y'all is that's that's not my worst that's a class of alons worst juggles, y'all right, in Malcolm's face, that's that's a that's a joke though, that's not real. The reason people are the way they are because you are disinfromed, like you literally are taking everything from them right now, I'm not saying it's with intentions just to be an asshole. I mean, even Satan when he had the conversation feel me with Adam and Eve the Serpent, you know what I mean, there is some

truth to his fucking story right, so very much. The reason the factories are not in the community, right, there's a reason that's satisfactory as well as the fact you being an asshole. The reason they took welding and all these trade programs of high school, right, it's going to be a positive reason as well as you being an asshole and understand who is it gonna hurt. So again, it's not they didn't make the Jummers sucked up. The

Jumblers would have been just fine if there's opportunity. The same opportunities existed for me when the Jumpers was built, the same opportunities that existed. I mean in Compton with all those factories, just like in Watson the Jordan Downs before Brothers came there. It wasn't like that before because them people had the opportunity to make a living because those sectors don't grow the pace of population, and socialism in the form of private sector unions in this case,

drove prices up so much that that caused people to leave. No, pete pete. That's that's that's actually part of the truth. And the other part is niggas moving in. That's not looks at other case studies. It's it's a it's part, but it's not exclusive. But the problem is that part, that part is still like slavery wasn't just like I hate black people. I just hate black people. Let me just take advantage of niggas. It was like, these are

niggas for sale, then these the motherfucker's were buying. It wasn't just oh, we hate niggas, we're gonna buy them, like we have an open selection the motherfucker's we could buy. We can get these Irish, Italian, Russian. You know, it wasn't a fucking huge market for motherfucker's for sale. So again, it wasn't. It's never always just malice intention. It's not always. But the problem is the bit of malice intention that's there, and it's always gonna be severe, and it's always gonna

end up on us every time. Pete, look, I'm with you. You sound like share the home girl sharing Share. You agree with you. She's like, goes California is too crazy for me. Then the community is going up. People need to move to another poor community. Look at the likes.

There's different like cases of the examples that are a little clearer, like, for example, a pretty good on this Michigan right, Michigan had a bunch of black people from the South move up there at work, a bunch of factory job It was good for about a generation and a half, and the golden goose left the gold loose with it and other countries. You know why that wasn't because black people were working in a factor. You know why, because the way is, we're eighty dollars an hour cost

to the manufacturer. That's why, because they fucking greedy. Who's greedy? Who's greedy? The who's greedy? Union't want to eighty an hour? No, because you know they couldn't. No, no, no, no no, no, no no no no no no, no no, no no no. Who are talking about billionaires? Pete? No, you know how quickly billionaires become broke when you're running underwater at that large of a scale, Very quickly, Pete. There wasn't gonna ever become broke. At worst, you just make a livable

wage yourself. And the problems you feel about your job is because the company's underwater. So either you go broke or the company goes broo. Yeahly Ford was operating underwater at a loss. Was operating underwater at it over paying the people that matter. No, it wasn't that. That gap, that delta was way bigger than those salaries. You can't tell me. You can't tell me that this country had to sell itself out to survive. You can't believe that. See,

that's the thing. I don't look at it as a thing. I look at it as a bunch of small things happened, and I look at all the small things happening singular. There are trends work Amibia's move, but I don't look at it as what it is. It's one giant organs. It's a bunch of small organisms that happened just be near each other. It's successes that people see that's profitable and they follow suit. Is this motherfucking country and this world is very much a monkey see monkey do place?

So if they see one, one motherfucker take their business, right, because the profit margin is that much more severe, that much greater, rather that much awesome. Right, they take it to another country and you sell out this country and you want to sell your cars to this country? That huh. It sells out both countries. And it's enabled because China for as an opportunity for China is the ship because program where unions to ask for wage, China's not the ship.

China hasn't population, I'm telling you not for citizens, right, the actual country the top of the country because they do have that communist set up. But I'm telling you it's no way possible. We're supposed to take our business from this country to other countries. It just don't make sense. I don't disagree with that. I don't disagree with that. There's nothing wrong with paying people quality wages. So instead of you making a hundred billion a year, you're making

a hundred million a year. But again, we're not being is disingenuous to act like the walking away with that much in cash. People are are being assess that amount of money and equity value, which is like doesn't even exist. You can't spend equity value the cash flow isn't isn't that number and that and the percentage. It's like saying if all the like, if all the millionaires and billionaires would pay that fair share, then we could afford blah.

It's like, well, the blah he's talking about is worth more than all those people combined anyway, So the deltas don't match. Well, that's probably not true. I just I think if if if people did pay of whatever the income was, yes, that would be a substantial about the money for the country. Do I think the government would do thing with the money. No, So I am not with Bernie on telling them, I'm with the wealthy people of Look, I would rather you give it to somebody

else yourself. That's what makes socialism what I like about it. It's about human beings doing right by other human beings. Um, I don't think what Bernie is doing. Bernie paints himself as a socialist. But again, if if you're a part of the government, or if you're desire to be a part of the government, you know, I mean, then it

has very much communism. I think we're having a crisis definition between socialism and collectivism as a princess, as a as a again, but I also think socialism has been manipulated over the years from his original meaning to where you got a motherfucker like Bernie Sanders participating in government and standing over people talking about you need to pay. It makes you a communist if you tell another motherfucker

what they make. And I'm not for that. I'm not shout out to my name and kill the mike and then but I'm just saying, but thirty seconds ago, those people need to make all that kind of money. If they made less than you could do this. That's and then you say your government should The government shouldn't be saying that to them, Glasses Malone should be telling Tyree's about what needs to happen in our community, not the motherfucking government. Shut your bitch ass up. You exploit people too.

Bernie sits your as down. I hear you. I think where the rub happens is that people who have the sentiment that you have are looking for an advocate, and the only person walking around into the government that Hitler. No, that's Hitler. No, I'm not saying Bernie or no other motherfucker in the government should be telling motherfucker's to do what their money. You know, I'm saying like you're saying that independently, is you versus like Majoe Blow might feel

the same way as you. Joe Blow doesn't know it doesn't have the self starter mentality to go actually do that. But some guy walks down the street with a tie in the suit on saying vote for me, I'm gonna do exactly what you're thinking, and they and they and they try to outsource the idea that at all I under say, that's how it happens. Has to socialism that's communism. That's communism the sky. Collectivism is not structural apparatus, just

an idea. But socialism, well, I don't mind the structure of us forming something in the community with each other and say, hey, we should all be responsible for each other. Um communism, right, the root of that word is community. But I don't know what the kind of community they're talking about. I need to kind of get more into society versus community, just so I can have closer to the root words and what we're talking about. But I will. But again, it goes back to see Jesus had to

be a socialist. He had to be, but not like the Bernie Sanders type. That's that bullshit. I mean, he had to be a real socialist, like somebody who said, you know what, praising God was fair value? Initially, Why the funk are you being greedy? If you get y'all asked, get y'all greedy thief and call them thieves, Get your greedy thief and asses from out the spot from our pop spot told him, get your greedy thief and assis

from out the pop spot. Feel me. That's why we celebrating the Nigga birthday tomorrow because that Nigga was alive as Nikka. That's all I'm saying, Pete, why can't we be more like Jesus in that regard? There's nothing to stop that except for maybe a little bit to some degree, the confines of the realities of human behavior. Mhm m. Good looking out for tuning into the No Sellers Podcast.
