Talks Failed, Now What: Iran, Melania, and the $78 Billion Mystery

The 21-hour Iran peace talks in Pakistan just collapsed, and before the news could even settle, Trump posted a Truth Social declaring a U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. "Effective immediately." The ceasefire expires on April 22. Nobody extended it. The two sides couldn't agree on nuclear enrichment or who controls the water that carries 20% of the world's oil. Jeezy put it plain: "Trump's out here playing Battleship." Chuck said it cleaner: "F4. C6."

Then there's Melania. She walked into the White House Grand Foyer last Thursday unannounced, attorney-crafted statement in hand, and said four words that changed the Epstein conversation: "Epstein was not alone." In the same statement, she said she never had a relationship with him or Ghislaine Maxwell. Manny caught the contradiction immediately: if you weren't involved, how do you know he wasn't alone? Then, when a reporter asked about Commerce Secretary Lutnick, she turned around and walked off the podium. The boys break down what she knows, what she was trying to get ahead of, and why the accountability architecture of this whole case was never designed to produce justice in the first place.

In the spotlight: Manny brings the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Chris Taylor just won by 20 points, completing a 4-3 conservative-to-5-2 liberal flip in two years. Without Elon Musk's $55.9 million, conservatives lost by double. Chuck goes deep on the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto — the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, sitting on $78 billion — and the NYT reporter who says he's 99.5% sure he's solved it. And Jeezy makes a confession: after a lifetime of moon landing skepticism, watching Artemis II splash down changed his mind. Mostly.

Plus: Rep. Eric Swalwell is the Pickle of the Week- sexual misconduct allegations dropped right as he's being floated for California governor. The Iran/Epstein/blockade trifecta gets the full treatment. And the show's new Predictions segment proves the tape doesn't lie: the Hormuz leverage call, the War Powers collapse, the Bondi failure — all called. All confirmed.

00:00:08.990 --> 00:00:19.750
Jeezy: Hello, world. Welcome to Pardon the Politics Podcast Season 3, Episode 15. I am your co-host, Jeezy. Along for the ride, I have my brother, Manny. Manny, what's good, brother?

2
00:00:19.750 --> 00:00:22.310
Manny: Man, it's going good, it's going good.

3
00:00:22.310 --> 00:00:25.429
Jeezy: Hey, got my brother Chuck on the other side. What's going on, brother?

4
00:00:25.430 --> 00:00:30.170
Chuck: What it do, fellas?

5
00:00:30.170 --> 00:00:45.349
Jeezy: We are back, we are back, we are back for another episode to our listeners. Hey, man, thank you for tuning in for another one, here at Pardon the Politics, in this, this crazy, political space that we have seemed to now call home.

6
00:00:45.350 --> 00:00:47.630
Manny: We didn't.

7
00:00:47.630 --> 00:00:51.110
Jeezy: So we might as well just make it as comfortable as we possibly can.

8
00:00:51.110 --> 00:00:54.000
Chuck: I was gonna say, can we even call it crazy at this point?

9
00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:58.069
Chuck: Bruh. I mean, it's… this is… this is borderline Arkham Asylum.

10
00:00:58.430 --> 00:00:58.870
Jeezy: Bruh.

11
00:00:58.870 --> 00:01:00.360
Chuck: Bye.

12
00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:01.630
Manny: You…

13
00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:04.150
Jeezy: We are real-life Gotham City, bruh.

14
00:01:04.150 --> 00:01:05.290
Chuck: Yes!

15
00:01:05.290 --> 00:01:13.689
Manny: Do you remember that scene from Star Trek, and Captain Picard gets up and he's like, damage report? That's what I feel like we're at every day. Damage report.

16
00:01:13.690 --> 00:01:14.640
Chuck: Manny.

17
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.310
Jeezy: I was about to say, Manny.

18
00:01:16.310 --> 00:01:16.920
Manny: I've…

19
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.300
Chuck: I know who John Luke Picard is, I know…

20
00:01:19.300 --> 00:01:19.700
Manny: Yeah.

21
00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:21.239
Chuck: Star Trek Next Generation.

22
00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:22.520
Jeezy: Right.

23
00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:28.539
Chuck: I'm well aware of who it is, what it is, but I can't recall no episode.

24
00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:35.030
Manny: Well, let's the episode, more of the GIF that has gone around, where he's just.

25
00:01:35.030 --> 00:01:37.140
Chuck: Chest. Yes, yes.

26
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:37.949
Manny: Here we go.

27
00:01:39.250 --> 00:01:46.079
Jeezy: You're gonna have listeners thinking that you a 7-year-old man on the pod, right?

28
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:59.220
Chuck: For me, Star Trek, the next generation was the indicator on the weekend that the TV was about to go off. It was Star Trek, then it was MASH, and then it was bad, and then the TV went off.

29
00:01:59.220 --> 00:01:59.630
Manny: Look.

30
00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:07.589
Jeezy: I remember as a kid, my uncle, I remember him telling my grandfather that any man to sit up and watch Star Trek got to be crazy.

31
00:02:07.870 --> 00:02:08.509
Manny: Bye.

32
00:02:10.180 --> 00:02:13.110
Manny: My dad would watch it religiously.

33
00:02:13.670 --> 00:02:15.850
Manny: Bruh. Religiously.

34
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.360
Jeezy: Shout out to all the fools that watched it, we were proper people.

35
00:02:21.630 --> 00:02:23.390
Chuck: We were proper people.

36
00:02:23.530 --> 00:02:26.260
Chuck: When people used to watch MASH, when the team…

37
00:02:26.260 --> 00:02:27.450
Manny: He used to go off.

38
00:02:28.140 --> 00:02:30.210
Jeezy: When grandparents watch grandparents' shows.

39
00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:35.760
Chuck: Not a grandparents. Real world… real housewives, and…

40
00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:37.780
Jeezy: Personal IG.

41
00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:38.130
Chuck: Dude.

42
00:02:38.600 --> 00:02:39.320
Manny: She doesn't.

43
00:02:39.320 --> 00:02:43.970
Jeezy: That's what, bro, we were proper people when we had proper grandparents, bruh. Grandma wore stockings.

44
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.369
Jeezy: Jean skirts, denim skirts.

45
00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:48.070
Chuck: A mumu in the house.

46
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:48.730
Jeezy: Yup.

47
00:02:49.100 --> 00:02:50.519
Chuck: Nero doesn't have on it.

48
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:51.550
Jeezy: between it.

49
00:02:52.230 --> 00:02:53.030
Chuck: Facts.

50
00:02:54.040 --> 00:02:57.289
Chuck: Or, or, or, or torn up brown paper bags, you know?

51
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.599
Manny: Yep, throwback.

52
00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:00.580
Chuck: When they… Medication.

53
00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:01.540
Jeezy: Without a date.

54
00:03:02.160 --> 00:03:04.180
Manny: It's rules 5.

55
00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:08.500
Chuck: We were a proper people when Black women used that hot comb off the stove.

56
00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:08.920
Jeezy: Yes.

57
00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:13.060
Chuck: Straighten their hair, burn out half their edges. But we are proper people, though.

58
00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:16.440
Jeezy: We weren't proper people, bruh, when you wore a wig because you had to.

59
00:03:18.150 --> 00:03:21.100
Manny: All other options have failed.

60
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:23.210
Jeezy: We medically fantasy.

61
00:03:23.260 --> 00:03:25.519
Chuck: You spice it up, you just turn it around.

62
00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:31.539
Jeezy: And now everybody's just wearing it, bruh. Whether they got a reason to or not, bruh.

63
00:03:31.650 --> 00:03:32.450
Jeezy: Even me.

64
00:03:32.450 --> 00:03:34.409
Chuck: And you could tell. Bruh.

65
00:03:35.290 --> 00:03:37.020
Manny: The man units.

66
00:03:38.260 --> 00:03:39.500
Manny: the man.

67
00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:42.989
Jeezy: Real proper people, bruh. Well, you can look like George Jefferson, bruh, it was okay.

68
00:03:42.990 --> 00:03:43.589
Manny: It'd be alright.

69
00:03:43.590 --> 00:03:45.290
Chuck: It was okay to be looked like Joy.

70
00:03:45.290 --> 00:03:45.920
Jeezy: round of wisdom.

71
00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:47.350
Manny: Like, you don't been, you don't.

72
00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:48.390
Chuck: Wisdom and maturity.

73
00:03:48.390 --> 00:03:49.040
Manny: life.

74
00:03:51.770 --> 00:03:52.120
Chuck: Whoa.

75
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.260
Jeezy: That's our segment of when we were proper people.

76
00:03:57.100 --> 00:03:59.120
Chuck: Oh, boy, yes sir, yes sir.

77
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.910
Manny: We'll also see what we're on for this episode.

78
00:04:02.910 --> 00:04:04.159
Chuck: We know what time it is today.

79
00:04:04.160 --> 00:04:06.330
Jeezy: What type of time are we,

80
00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:14.949
Jeezy: Well, speaking of time, we got an update for our first segment, on the, Iran-U.S. war.

81
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.980
Jeezy: parentheses, Israel, I guess.

82
00:04:18.660 --> 00:04:19.470
Chuck: slash…

83
00:04:19.470 --> 00:04:21.130
Manny: Conflict… Lebanon.

84
00:04:21.130 --> 00:04:21.510
Jeezy: Yep.

85
00:04:21.970 --> 00:04:25.240
Chuck: Semicolon Lebanon.

86
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.530
Jeezy: Correct. So… We gotta talk about.

87
00:04:27.530 --> 00:04:29.090
Chuck: Hold on, hold on, hold on, we got one more.

88
00:04:30.090 --> 00:04:34.120
Chuck: Apostrophe, Pakistan. Oh yeah, can't forget Pakistan.

89
00:04:34.640 --> 00:04:38.549
Jeezy: Well, Pakistan is trying to bring the temperature down. They're trying to.

90
00:04:38.550 --> 00:04:43.629
Chuck: Yeah, that's why I did the apostrophe, you know, the conjunction.

91
00:04:43.630 --> 00:04:44.599
Jeezy: What's your point?

92
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.689
Chuck: Apostrophe S.

93
00:04:47.430 --> 00:04:52.870
Jeezy: So, for our first segment, we're gonna give an update on the war. Earlier this week.

94
00:04:53.810 --> 00:05:00.090
Jeezy: there was a bit of a deal that was struck. There was a ceasefire, that, was announced.

95
00:05:00.570 --> 00:05:05.080
Jeezy: Whichever way you want to look at it. Trump said it was a deal,

96
00:05:05.350 --> 00:05:13.480
Jeezy: Iran, in fashion said, ain't no deal. But, apparently, we did get at least an agreement that there was going to be a ceasefire.

97
00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:20.880
Jeezy: the conditions of that ceasefire immediately after it was announced. They didn't even have an understanding of the deal.

98
00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:21.250
Manny: you.

99
00:05:21.250 --> 00:05:26.879
Chuck: I don't know if it was even immediately after it was announced, it was, like, in the midst of the announcement.

100
00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:29.360
Manny: Hey, what will you agree to?

101
00:05:29.640 --> 00:05:46.949
Jeezy: We got a ceasefire, but hold on, what did we say we was gonna do now? Oh, oh, we thought… Lebanon? We said Lebanon. Oh, bruh, it was a mess. So, I don't even know if you can call it a ceasefire, which we're gonna talk about it more in a little bit, of the… how fragile it is, because the foundation of it to begin with was already just crumbs.

102
00:05:46.950 --> 00:05:57.549
Manny: I would say this is the closest we've seen to a country-to-country handshake, pinky promise deal than we've seen in decades at this standpoint.

103
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.999
Jeezy: Bruh, a pinky problem has got a little bit more structure than this.

104
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.080
Manny: This…

105
00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:12.669
Chuck: This ceasefire, air quotes, reminds me of when you try to separate egg yolk from egg white.

106
00:06:12.670 --> 00:06:13.530
Jeezy: Oh, bruh.

107
00:06:13.530 --> 00:06:15.070
Chuck: Terrible.

108
00:06:15.080 --> 00:06:17.620
Manny: You're terrible!

109
00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:22.400
Jeezy: I did see a method, though, they say if you get a plastic bottle, and like… but I ain't…

110
00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:33.120
Chuck: I tried that and failed. Oh, I tried that and failed. It failed? No. Okay. I failed. If it didn't fail, who… they… it's AI on the computer, so I'm gonna blame it on, because it was terrible.

111
00:06:33.340 --> 00:06:48.770
Jeezy: Well, the framework of this, we… it was, of course, by Donald Trump, it was stated that we had a big win, and, things were gonna happen, and this ceasefire, was going to allow, the space for, negotiations to happen.

112
00:06:48.900 --> 00:07:00.369
Jeezy: But, the U.S. and Iran officials met over the weekend, led by J.D. Vance and, Jared Kushner. They had 21 straight hours of negotiations.

113
00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:12.340
Jeezy: In Pakistan, which, you know, these were high-level direct calls, there were no back channels, there was no, this wasn't symbolic whatsoever. This was actually legit 21 hours straight of them trying to negotiate.

114
00:07:12.340 --> 00:07:23.480
Jeezy: And the core issues of this was the U.S. obviously demanding Iran scale back or dismantle parts of their nuclear program. Again, thought there wasn't a nuclear program, but whatever.

115
00:07:23.580 --> 00:07:35.699
Jeezy: I thought it was obliterated. But Iran was refusing without major sanction relief and security guarantees. But at the end of the results of those 21 straight hours, at the time of this recording, there has been no deal.

116
00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:40.930
Jeezy: No framework, and no next step, has been announced.

117
00:07:41.010 --> 00:07:57.010
Jeezy: So this wasn't, you know, a quick meeting that just fell apart. It was a full-day grind, and they still walked away, both sides empty-handed. So when we look at just this part of the 21 straight hours of talking, and the fallout of what has happened, what does this tell you?

118
00:07:57.010 --> 00:08:03.500
Jeezy: About what's going on. Do you feel like the two sides, just couldn't agree, or do you think they really never planned

119
00:08:03.710 --> 00:08:11.310
Jeezy: To come to a deal at all. And I'm gonna throw this to, to you, Mandy, to answer Paul's, first. What do you think?

120
00:08:11.310 --> 00:08:13.770
Manny: I had to, bruh. Brad.

121
00:08:13.770 --> 00:08:14.240
Jeezy: Go ahead, bro.

122
00:08:14.530 --> 00:08:15.750
Manny: Hey, yo.

123
00:08:15.940 --> 00:08:17.510
Audio shared by Jeezy: Oh, regular.

124
00:08:17.510 --> 00:08:18.780
Jeezy: Yeah, bruh, that was egregious.

125
00:08:19.540 --> 00:08:20.220
Jeezy: That's the yellow car.

126
00:08:22.930 --> 00:08:24.080
Jeezy: What do you think?

127
00:08:24.950 --> 00:08:33.450
Manny: I mean, at least they're talking, like, you know, at least if you're talking, there's some form of communication going back and forth, but…

128
00:08:33.539 --> 00:08:50.119
Manny: I would think it was completely unreasonable to think that this was going to get done on the first set of negotiations, and I think that both Iran and the U.S. and Israel and Lebanon and all the other proxy groups that are now involved with this

129
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:56.559
Manny: If you thought that we were going to get there off of one negotiation, you guys have never seen a true negotiation.

130
00:08:56.880 --> 00:09:02.219
Manny: I think it's gonna be… there are going to be hills to climb.

131
00:09:02.680 --> 00:09:09.499
Manny: Because what I… what I spent some time doing is looking at Iran's 10-point proposal.

132
00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:10.960
Manny: And…

133
00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:20.820
Manny: I just fundamentally see some things that the U.S. is going to have problems with. You know, their second point for full U.S. military withdrawal from the region.

134
00:09:20.990 --> 00:09:27.000
Manny: Like, what are they classifying as the region? And if they're talking about the Middle East, ain't no way.

135
00:09:27.170 --> 00:09:27.970
Manny: Yeah. Ain't no way.

136
00:09:28.370 --> 00:09:29.080
Manny: do it.

137
00:09:29.260 --> 00:09:35.620
Manny: And then the acceptance of enrichment rights, you know, what is a country's

138
00:09:36.250 --> 00:09:41.589
Manny: You know, ability to be able to enrich nuclear material.

139
00:09:41.800 --> 00:09:57.110
Manny: Especially when they have developed AI. I could see it being differently, hey, U.S. is the only place with technology, and we're stealing, and they're taking that technology and doing it. But from my understanding, this is Iranian-developed technology for how they enrich.

140
00:09:57.220 --> 00:09:58.879
Manny: So, I think that…

141
00:09:59.400 --> 00:10:06.860
Manny: is going to be a hill to climb. The other hill I think there's going to be to climb is Iran wanting war reparations.

142
00:10:07.280 --> 00:10:13.079
Manny: To which I say, Iran, get in line of everyone here in the U.S. that still wants reparations.

143
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:17.120
Jeezy: If Iran get their reparation before I get my 40 acres in a mule, I'ma be pissed.

144
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:23.850
Chuck: I was just about to say, I don't even need 40 acres. Nope. Give me… give me 3 yards.

145
00:10:23.850 --> 00:10:25.489
Manny: Not for ER.

146
00:10:25.490 --> 00:10:28.669
Chuck: 3 good yards, I'mma get… I'mma get Clarence to cut my grass.

147
00:10:28.990 --> 00:10:33.609
Jeezy: Hey, bro, look, that's all I need. Give me 5 acres and a long… and a zero turn.

148
00:10:33.610 --> 00:10:34.040
Chuck: real time.

149
00:10:35.640 --> 00:10:38.450
Chuck: I want an eco one so it don't make a bunch of noise, too.

150
00:10:38.450 --> 00:10:39.170
Jeezy: Yep.

151
00:10:39.170 --> 00:10:40.040
Chuck: These batteries.

152
00:10:40.040 --> 00:10:42.180
Jeezy: taxes in half, and I got you.

153
00:10:42.180 --> 00:10:43.030
Chuck: Yes, sir.

154
00:10:43.230 --> 00:10:52.820
Manny: So, I… I think this'll be… this is going to be interesting. You know, we still obviously have another couple weeks. 22nd is when…

155
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:54.899
Manny: The ceasefire is over.

156
00:10:55.030 --> 00:11:05.650
Manny: And I think that they'll have to come back together if either side is truly at a position that they want to be to come back to negotiate.

157
00:11:05.710 --> 00:11:20.870
Manny: I would think… I think from right now, the U.S. is projecting that, like, hey, this is all on Iran to decide if we come back to the table. And, like, I don't. I don't think that's fully true. I think we have as much

158
00:11:22.290 --> 00:11:26.650
Manny: if not more reasons to return to the table than Iran does.

159
00:11:27.140 --> 00:11:32.199
Manny: I believe… as long as Iran has the straight, Iran has the leverage at this stage.

160
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:32.830
Jeezy: Yeah.

161
00:11:33.520 --> 00:11:37.859
Chuck: That's what I was exactly gonna say. We have all the reason to return.

162
00:11:37.860 --> 00:11:38.980
Jeezy: to the table.

163
00:11:39.060 --> 00:11:43.530
Chuck: And… I completely agree in their 10-point plan.

164
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:53.389
Chuck: Traditionally, yeah, we're bucking against 9, if not all 10, of their requests.

165
00:11:54.220 --> 00:12:02.070
Chuck: But we're not in a position to give much pushback right now. Right. Like, from… from…

166
00:12:02.850 --> 00:12:15.059
Chuck: inflation being up in the recent reports. We're not even gonna talk about gas. We know what gas is doing. But guess what? We have to mention gas, because in turn, with rising gas prices.

167
00:12:15.350 --> 00:12:17.049
Chuck: Everything else is gonna go up.

168
00:12:17.470 --> 00:12:20.170
Chuck: And… Man.

169
00:12:20.170 --> 00:12:26.770
Manny: No, well, I was gonna say, Chuck, on that point, we haven't really even started feeling the impacts of any of this yet.

170
00:12:26.770 --> 00:12:36.689
Chuck: Exactly. And that's what I'm saying, we have no room to not come back to the table, because if you continue to prolong this.

171
00:12:36.870 --> 00:12:45.110
Chuck: And… Allow this to stretch out, and you're not… Discussing a compromise.

172
00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:47.619
Chuck: Iran is in a good position.

173
00:12:49.040 --> 00:12:51.810
Chuck: We let through who we want to let through.

174
00:12:52.060 --> 00:12:54.469
Chuck: If they pay this $2 million, guess what?

175
00:12:54.640 --> 00:12:55.869
Chuck: That's money in our pocket.

176
00:12:55.880 --> 00:12:56.870
Manny: Right.

177
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:09.090
Chuck: And, you know, there's reports that the U.S. is gonna unfreeze some more assets, Iranian assets, to give back to them. Why do I need to even come to the… I'm getting my money.

178
00:13:09.380 --> 00:13:10.400
Manny: Right.

179
00:13:10.400 --> 00:13:14.490
Jeezy: You look at Trump stand up on that podium and say, we're winning, the war's already won.

180
00:13:14.670 --> 00:13:19.040
Jeezy: Unless you… Trump, you represent Iran.

181
00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:22.910
Jeezy: I believe they winning right now.

182
00:13:22.910 --> 00:13:38.390
Chuck: I think he's on his cell phone, playing a game, playing a war game on his cell phone, because from an optics standpoint, from a logistical standpoint, and if we're being really honest about this.

183
00:13:38.810 --> 00:13:45.339
Chuck: from an actual standpoint, there's nothing I'm seeing that says the U.S. is winning.

184
00:13:45.900 --> 00:13:50.149
Manny: The… the only… the… the giant trump card here…

185
00:13:51.420 --> 00:14:00.989
Manny: double entendre. The giant Trump card here is… is Trump… is Trump willing to… to use nukes? Because that… that is the only place

186
00:14:00.990 --> 00:14:11.920
Manny: That's the only… I don't believe that we have the upper hand. And then the fallout. Like, are we short-sighted enough to launch a nuke and not really think about it? Absolutely.

187
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:18.660
Manny: But the fallout from that is not only catastrophic from a loss of life.

188
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:26.980
Manny: From an infrastructure standpoint, from an economic standpoint, How everyone else reacts, because…

189
00:14:26.980 --> 00:14:27.340
Chuck: Yes.

190
00:14:27.470 --> 00:14:40.129
Manny: let's say we launch… let's say the U.S. launches a nuke, or it doesn't even… let's say Iran has a nuclear warhead, and they launch one. What is everyone's reaction going to be? And I'm not just talking about the U.S, I'm talking.

191
00:14:40.130 --> 00:14:40.530
Chuck: Oh, no.

192
00:14:40.530 --> 00:14:43.030
Manny: I'm talking China, I'm talking.

193
00:14:43.030 --> 00:14:43.540
Chuck: India.

194
00:14:43.540 --> 00:14:46.060
Manny: So, India, Pakistan, Pakistan.

195
00:14:46.060 --> 00:14:47.599
Chuck: Yeah, they lettin' it fly.

196
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:55.900
Manny: Yeah, because that is… that is the… my understanding, that is the general response with nuclear warheads, is that we…

197
00:14:56.050 --> 00:15:12.340
Manny: everyone is firing on first signal. That is why there is a official back channel that exists between the U.S. and Russia, so when missiles start flying, they can call and say, hey, ain't no nuke on that, because no one wants that level of misunderstanding.

198
00:15:13.090 --> 00:15:18.119
Chuck: Yeah, because it's… it's gonna get ugly real fast.

199
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:19.929
Jeezy: Real fast. Real fast. Real fast.

200
00:15:20.540 --> 00:15:27.120
Manny: And… I just don't see where we have the leverage. And the threats aren't working.

201
00:15:27.330 --> 00:15:31.179
Manny: Because if the threats were working, they would have already started working by now.

202
00:15:31.750 --> 00:15:37.270
Jeezy: Well, when you have like Trump that keeps talking about how he's such a major negotiator.

203
00:15:37.530 --> 00:15:48.649
Jeezy: I think that it speaks volumes to how they have handled the negotiations and trying to keep him almost essentially as far away as possible from the negotiating table.

204
00:15:48.650 --> 00:15:52.520
Manny: In the 21 hours, they sent him to a UFC event.

205
00:15:53.020 --> 00:15:54.980
Manny: Come, come distract him.

206
00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:58.890
Chuck: And it wasn't pretty. And it was not pretty.

207
00:15:58.890 --> 00:16:09.870
Jeezy: even at the negotiating table, didn't they say, like, the U.S. tried to send, like, a ship through, like, the strait, and during the negotiation, they sent, like, a drone, and it, like… like, we've done this before.

208
00:16:09.870 --> 00:16:11.300
Chuck: They said two. They said two.

209
00:16:11.300 --> 00:16:12.529
Manny: Two destroyers, yeah.

210
00:16:12.530 --> 00:16:16.450
Chuck: They sent two destroyers, like, the first time we negotiated.

211
00:16:16.450 --> 00:16:24.239
Jeezy: with him, we did something of the same nature, like, Trump, sit down. We're trying to negotiate here, and we don't have leverage.

212
00:16:24.460 --> 00:16:27.650
Manny: he keeps… You do this whole strength through power…

213
00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:28.969
Jeezy: Yeah, that don't work, bro.

214
00:16:28.970 --> 00:16:32.030
Manny: And it only works if the person you're fighting is.

215
00:16:32.030 --> 00:16:34.469
Chuck: They're scared. And they're not scared anymore.

216
00:16:34.470 --> 00:16:34.800
Jeezy: I'm sorry.

217
00:16:35.180 --> 00:16:42.120
Jeezy: I said, working on recess playgrounds, bruh. This is not… Only place. This is not a recess playground, bruh.

218
00:16:42.490 --> 00:16:55.160
Chuck: Now, this is where I see the U.S. would have had more leverage, particularly the administration, not so much the U.S. The administration would have had more leverage if we were not approaching midterms.

219
00:16:55.790 --> 00:17:08.959
Chuck: Because we're approaching midterms, and the backlash that this could cause during midterms if things were to continue on, and we hit worst-case scenario.

220
00:17:09.490 --> 00:17:15.940
Chuck: is what they're scared of. Now, had we been… say this was this time next year.

221
00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:29.780
Chuck: Oh, then they… they… We got a year to work for this. Yeah, I can work through this and bounce back. We… we gonna make this happen, but with the… with the proverbial rock… rockin' the hard place being the midterms coming up.

222
00:17:30.140 --> 00:17:39.120
Chuck: You know, he at least has some individuals who understand How catastrophic this can be.

223
00:17:39.260 --> 00:17:40.680
Chuck: for the party.

224
00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:47.359
Chuck: With that approaching, and we being in a place where Jobs are at net zero.

225
00:17:47.830 --> 00:17:59.360
Chuck: Companies are laying out left and right, laying off left and right. Affordability, there's that word. It's not affordable. It's not even… it's not even affordable to say affordability.

226
00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:00.219
Jeezy: Isn't that right?

227
00:18:00.370 --> 00:18:06.370
Chuck: Speaking of, I got pissed off the other day at the gas station. Stopped in the gas station to give me something to drink.

228
00:18:06.590 --> 00:18:14.869
Chuck: asked the wife, hey, you want something? Had to ask her 3 times, because you know how they do. They tell you, you know, you get something, you come back, they want some of yours. I don't like sharing.

229
00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:16.959
Chuck: Sometimes I just don't like sharing.

230
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:17.930
Manny: No!

231
00:18:17.930 --> 00:18:20.309
Chuck: No, I asked you, I asked you.

232
00:18:20.620 --> 00:18:31.330
Chuck: So finally, she was like, yeah, give me some sour candy. And I was gonna get me… some… Reese's, even though I'm kind of pulling back on Reese's, they used to be my favorite candy. They don't even have the same peanut butter no more.

233
00:18:31.330 --> 00:18:33.250
Jeezy: Hey, they better when you put them in the freezer, bruh.

234
00:18:33.790 --> 00:18:37.949
Chuck: No, not anymore. The peanut butter ain't the same.

235
00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:40.200
Jeezy: Oh, see?

236
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.169
Manny: You ain't seen these reports where, like.

237
00:18:42.170 --> 00:18:42.680
Chuck: Yeah.

238
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:48.930
Manny: The guy who invented, Reese's was like, hey, y'all stop using this fake peanut butter and this fake chocolate.

239
00:18:48.930 --> 00:18:57.729
Chuck: Yep. Because they said they can't even call it, chocolate candy anymore, or milk chocolate anymore, because they're not using milk chocolate.

240
00:18:58.280 --> 00:18:58.680
Jeezy: Oh, boy.

241
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:00.239
Chuck: It's like chocolate candy.

242
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:01.590
Manny: We are a proper people.

243
00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:08.410
Chuck: Yeah. When my candy said milk chocolate. Milk chocolate. The basis of my rant was.

244
00:19:08.950 --> 00:19:17.830
Chuck: I went to go get it, and I can… and I refuse, look at that candy, being $2.75 for a regular size.

245
00:19:17.830 --> 00:19:18.310
Manny: Huh.

246
00:19:18.310 --> 00:19:25.109
Chuck: and $3.50 for a king size. Why am I paying that for some candy?

247
00:19:25.110 --> 00:19:27.310
Manny: Bruh, king size used to be a dollar.

248
00:19:27.860 --> 00:19:32.939
Chuck: Why is the Little Debbie snack cakes $1.25?

249
00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:37.300
Jeezy: Them honey buns used to be, like, 25 cents, them jokers, like, dollars now. I was like…

250
00:19:37.300 --> 00:19:37.960
Manny: Yes!

251
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.349
Jeezy: And the honey bun is smaller, and not as.

252
00:19:40.350 --> 00:19:41.339
Chuck: It's smaller!

253
00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:45.760
Chuck: And not as good. You eat it, and it tastes like you're eating wax. Like, no!

254
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:48.600
Manny: knock out.

255
00:19:48.600 --> 00:19:48.990
Chuck: crosses.

256
00:19:48.990 --> 00:19:50.729
Manny: It's through your system correctly.

257
00:19:50.730 --> 00:20:02.409
Chuck: No, at all. And so we're at a place where everything is going up. Everything. But pay. Pay's not going up. Or if it's going up, it's very incremental.

258
00:20:03.070 --> 00:20:11.699
Chuck: So, so how do you expect people, and consumer confidence is down, according to the Consumer Index, Interest rates?

259
00:20:12.610 --> 00:20:14.810
Chuck: And…

260
00:20:14.810 --> 00:20:16.000
Manny: Moving on up!

261
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:20.360
Chuck: Moving on up! And so, and, and…

262
00:20:20.780 --> 00:20:24.160
Chuck: To the point where, inflation creeped back up.

263
00:20:24.520 --> 00:20:25.200
Jeezy: Yep.

264
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:26.380
Chuck: It was going down.

265
00:20:26.620 --> 00:20:28.819
Chuck: Very… ever so slowly.

266
00:20:28.820 --> 00:20:31.129
Jeezy: I thought it wasn't any inflation, according to Trump.

267
00:20:31.350 --> 00:20:32.949
Chuck: Well, you know.

268
00:20:33.150 --> 00:20:37.310
Chuck: It won't allow inflation, because he couldn't get Jerome to do what he wanted him to do.

269
00:20:37.310 --> 00:20:37.650
Manny: Right.

270
00:20:37.650 --> 00:20:42.440
Chuck: But yeah, to that point,

271
00:20:42.760 --> 00:20:50.299
Chuck: It is very telling that the Iranians, number one, I'm surprised they let Jared come back, because they didn't want to talk to him.

272
00:20:50.530 --> 00:20:54.460
Chuck: They didn't even want him involved. Him or Wick… what is it, Wick? Wickoff.

273
00:20:54.460 --> 00:20:54.870
Manny: we're.

274
00:20:54.870 --> 00:20:55.680
Chuck: Wick cough.

275
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:56.855
Chuck: What?

276
00:20:57.510 --> 00:20:59.030
Manny: No, sorry.

277
00:20:59.030 --> 00:20:59.760
Chuck: With cars.

278
00:20:59.760 --> 00:21:01.499
Manny: Yeah, he's Saturday.

279
00:21:01.780 --> 00:21:02.570
Jeezy: Okay.

280
00:21:02.570 --> 00:21:03.549
Manny: came about kind of wild.

281
00:21:03.550 --> 00:21:05.020
Chuck: You're very…

282
00:21:05.020 --> 00:21:06.759
Manny: I'mma go sit down now.

283
00:21:06.760 --> 00:21:07.870
Jeezy: Agreed.

284
00:21:08.570 --> 00:21:11.639
Chuck: But they wanted to talk to JD, and… Yeah.

285
00:21:12.230 --> 00:21:17.340
Chuck: when JD is the sensible voice in the room.

286
00:21:18.890 --> 00:21:21.009
Chuck: I'm a little… I'm a little worried, cause…

287
00:21:21.010 --> 00:21:21.510
Jeezy: Concerned.

288
00:21:21.510 --> 00:21:23.269
Chuck: That ain't even that man real name.

289
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:24.300
Manny: Bruh.

290
00:21:24.300 --> 00:21:27.780
Chuck: I don't trust no… I don't trust no grown man who gotta change his name up like that.

291
00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:31.959
Jeezy: You are not Batman. Sir, you are Bruce Wayne.

292
00:21:33.280 --> 00:21:34.460
Jeezy: You're Bruce Wayne.

293
00:21:35.020 --> 00:21:35.500
Chuck: Oh, no.

294
00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:37.510
Jeezy: You are not Muhammad Ali.

295
00:21:39.060 --> 00:21:39.680
Manny: Bruh.

296
00:21:40.540 --> 00:21:41.409
Manny: But, but…

297
00:21:41.410 --> 00:21:45.289
Jeezy: I wanna hit on something that Chuck said before we continue on. You know…

298
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:57.780
Jeezy: I heard a clip that, Trump spoke, and I can't remember what network he was on, but they asked him, like, hey, do you think all of this will be, like, back to normal by midterm elections? And he was like, I think so. I hope so.

299
00:21:57.780 --> 00:22:00.800
Manny: Yes, she did. But they…

300
00:22:00.800 --> 00:22:02.469
Jeezy: It may be a little higher by the end, too.

301
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.460
Jeezy: And I sat there and said, that man gave 3 answers.

302
00:22:06.460 --> 00:22:09.600
Manny: In one! Yes.

303
00:22:09.600 --> 00:22:09.970
Chuck: there.

304
00:22:09.970 --> 00:22:10.510
Manny: No.

305
00:22:10.510 --> 00:22:22.010
Jeezy: It made me think of something, though. It made me think of something. I believe, Manny, you brought and said this before. When you look at the midterms and the leverage, when you talk about the leverage that the U.S. has, or lack thereof.

306
00:22:22.520 --> 00:22:24.590
Jeezy: They got about 90 days to figure this out.

307
00:22:25.410 --> 00:22:29.550
Jeezy: Because people gonna know what they want to do in the midterm.

308
00:22:29.550 --> 00:22:31.350
Chuck: Guess what?

309
00:22:31.350 --> 00:22:33.239
Manny: But they haven't already made that decision.

310
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:38.629
Jeezy: already ain't made, and you could argue that some primaries are already made up.

311
00:22:38.630 --> 00:22:41.249
Chuck: primary's gonna tell it. He's gonna tell it. He's gonna tell it.

312
00:22:41.250 --> 00:22:48.039
Jeezy: You look at… you have the president saying, I hope that things will be leveled off. Chuck made a great point.

313
00:22:48.270 --> 00:22:56.300
Jeezy: that we haven't even felt the real implications of what's taken place with Iran yet. It hasn't even hit us yet.

314
00:22:56.510 --> 00:22:58.860
Jeezy: And people are already struggling.

315
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:04.080
Jeezy: This can't pan out well, Within the next 90 days.

316
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:06.279
Jeezy: Because the wave is still coming regardless.

317
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:19.989
Chuck: Geez, in that same moment, they asked them, they said, there are reports that tankers are coming to the Gulf of America to fill up on U.S. oil. What are your thoughts on that?

318
00:23:20.170 --> 00:23:23.090
Chuck: And this man says, well, you know.

319
00:23:23.300 --> 00:23:32.939
Chuck: It's called the Gulf of America because I changed that. It used to be the Gulf of Mexico. But, you know, I made it Golf America. I thought about making it Golf of Trump.

320
00:23:33.840 --> 00:23:35.020
Chuck: That's not what we're asking you.

321
00:23:35.020 --> 00:23:36.929
Manny: But not what we asked him at all.

322
00:23:36.930 --> 00:23:43.329
Jeezy: We about to enter a whole nother character arc with Trump, bruh. Dementia Donnie.

323
00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:48.299
Jeezy: Dimension Donnie about to be wild, bruh. He… he just be talking.

324
00:23:48.610 --> 00:23:49.130
Jeezy: But what's…

325
00:23:49.130 --> 00:23:55.260
Manny: That's the crazy part, like, because we're really moving as if hope is a political strategy.

326
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:56.530
Jeezy: Brother.

327
00:23:57.550 --> 00:23:59.900
Chuck: Obama's fault. It's Obama's fault.

328
00:24:00.170 --> 00:24:02.119
Chuck: Because he told us, hope.

329
00:24:02.320 --> 00:24:02.930
Manny: Hope.

330
00:24:04.810 --> 00:24:08.629
Chuck: And I ain't gonna tell y'all what I hope, but it might get me locked up.

331
00:24:08.630 --> 00:24:10.000
Manny: Nope. Nope.

332
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:11.920
Chuck: You might get me locked up.

333
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:18.160
Jeezy: When you think about this negotiation, though… First of all, 21 hours.

334
00:24:18.790 --> 00:24:20.429
Jeezy: I ain't talking to nobody.

335
00:24:20.430 --> 00:24:22.530
Chuck: There's nothing I wanna do for 21 hours.

336
00:24:22.530 --> 00:24:23.680
Jeezy: There ain't nothing.

337
00:24:23.970 --> 00:24:25.350
Chuck: Nothing.

338
00:24:26.430 --> 00:24:26.869
Jeezy: I went straight.

339
00:24:26.870 --> 00:24:34.660
Chuck: When I was younger, look, when I was younger, I say that younger, because, whew, well, I'm really 44, bruh. But.

340
00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:35.300
Manny: Damn.

341
00:24:35.300 --> 00:24:37.130
Chuck: Wait, whoa, sorry.

342
00:24:37.550 --> 00:24:38.630
Chuck: Hello, Kevin Hart.

343
00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:41.220
Jeezy: Trying to hit you up, I was about to try to hit you with the Kevin Hart.

344
00:24:43.630 --> 00:24:57.099
Chuck: But, you know, that sports network, I ain't giving nobody no love on here, they ain't paying us no money. But, that sports network used to have 24 hours of college basketball to start the season.

345
00:24:57.500 --> 00:25:03.049
Chuck: And I made it to about… 17, 18 hours.

346
00:25:03.230 --> 00:25:04.390
Jeezy: That's a lot of basketball already.

347
00:25:04.390 --> 00:25:05.440
Manny: That is.

348
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:05.969
Jeezy: There's not…

349
00:25:05.970 --> 00:25:07.200
Chuck: That's a lot of sitting.

350
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:13.190
Chuck: I can't do that no more. I can't do it. I cannot do it.

351
00:25:13.550 --> 00:25:16.259
Chuck: So, to be discussing… discussing…

352
00:25:16.550 --> 00:25:25.879
Chuck: this type of stuff for 21 hours, and also, you know they got strong accents, I ain't gonna be able to understand. Can you say that again? What'd you say?

353
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.720
Jeezy: Who brought in… who brought in the food? Did we get Jimmy John's? Did we…

354
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:32.959
Chuck: Oh, please don't get trashed, Jimmy Johns.

355
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.550
Jeezy: Yeah, you know when you gotta deliberate, bro, you always get the trash food.

356
00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:40.150
Manny: Right. 21 hours… They don't want you comfortable.

357
00:25:40.150 --> 00:25:43.279
Jeezy: Oh, no, you ain't gonna get comfortable, we gotta give you something to keep.

358
00:25:43.280 --> 00:25:44.249
Chuck: out of here.

359
00:25:44.610 --> 00:25:48.600
Jeezy: You gotta be getting just enough space between your stomach and your backbone. Just enough.

360
00:25:48.600 --> 00:25:53.189
Chuck: Yeah, that's why them, restaurants be having hard seats. They want to get you in and get you out.

361
00:25:53.680 --> 00:26:04.310
Jeezy: Don't get comfortable. But for 21 hours, you think about, that's a long time to talk to someone. And you couldn't find a middle ground. Like, forget that you came up with a deal.

362
00:26:05.080 --> 00:26:11.109
Jeezy: what did you even walk away from at least agreeing on? And it don't seem like nothing.

363
00:26:11.110 --> 00:26:13.700
Manny: Here's what I think they actually agreed on.

364
00:26:14.250 --> 00:26:16.360
Manny: What the ceasefire looks like.

365
00:26:16.670 --> 00:26:20.469
Manny: I think that is the only thing that they walked out of there with deeper under.

366
00:26:20.470 --> 00:26:21.780
Chuck: Settings.

367
00:26:21.780 --> 00:26:22.880
Jeezy: I think. Who?

368
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:23.930
Manny: I…

369
00:26:23.930 --> 00:26:26.090
Chuck: Not Israel. Pakistan.

370
00:26:27.780 --> 00:26:30.079
Manny: I think… I think Pakistan got an understanding.

371
00:26:30.080 --> 00:26:31.859
Chuck: Pakistan, gotta understand.

372
00:26:31.860 --> 00:26:35.709
Manny: Yeah, they're like, okay, you said this, and you said that.

373
00:26:35.710 --> 00:26:36.540
Chuck: Yo.

374
00:26:36.540 --> 00:26:38.870
Manny: Together, it means this.

375
00:26:39.060 --> 00:26:46.030
Jeezy: Well, Manny, that's… I'm glad that you said that, because that's the next part of this segment that I want to talk about, is the ceasefire.

376
00:26:46.520 --> 00:26:53.390
Jeezy: you know, it's a temporary ceasefire that's hanging in… I want to say a thread, but a thread might be too much.

377
00:26:53.390 --> 00:26:59.060
Chuck: It's too thick. Too thick of a… too thick of a hope. Too thick of a hope. Of a hope.

378
00:26:59.060 --> 00:27:00.850
Jeezy: Thank you, thank you, thank you.

379
00:27:01.110 --> 00:27:05.729
Jeezy: But, you know, when the ceasefire was announced, and we talked about it at the beginning of it.

380
00:27:06.190 --> 00:27:09.799
Jeezy: you know, There's no clear understanding

381
00:27:10.010 --> 00:27:18.049
Jeezy: of the ceasefire, because Iran said that it would… everybody would stop. Everybody would stop, you know, we're not sending nothing.

382
00:27:18.410 --> 00:27:23.189
Jeezy: Of course, we got that… that little cousin that don't listen. Israel. Israel's the Israel.

383
00:27:23.190 --> 00:27:27.219
Chuck: That is what Israel is, their little bad cousins and all that.

384
00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:28.479
Jeezy: Bad cousin that bite people.

385
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.010
Chuck: everybody in trouble.

386
00:27:30.010 --> 00:27:39.000
Manny: They are… And what's crazy about all this is Israel very much went from, hey.

387
00:27:39.120 --> 00:27:52.159
Manny: gun-ho about Iran, they were like… and they were like, oh, U.S, y'all got this? Cool, we going back over here to Lebanon, which is the… the main battle we've been fighting for the last year. We're gonna go back over here, we're gonna let you deal with it.

388
00:27:52.310 --> 00:27:55.020
Manny: It's like that, to the same analogy.

389
00:27:55.480 --> 00:28:01.460
Manny: Little cousin went and got Big Cousin to go fight the bully, so then they could go back and fight the other person, like…

390
00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:03.750
Jeezy: They're back at home tearing all the stuff up.

391
00:28:03.750 --> 00:28:04.670
Manny: Tearing it all up.

392
00:28:04.670 --> 00:28:16.909
Jeezy: You know, they… they… when you think about this, and not being able to come to a deal after the 21 hours, and the ceasefire, you know, hanging by a thread, when… if this thing breaks, and let's be honest, it probably will.

393
00:28:17.130 --> 00:28:23.460
Jeezy: Do we go right back to where we were at the beginning before this ceasefire, or do you think that things are gonna get worse?

394
00:28:24.650 --> 00:28:35.889
Manny: I think if we go back to… the ceasefire completely falls apart. Yeah. I think we absolutely step back into some level of, escalation.

395
00:28:36.120 --> 00:28:44.980
Manny: Okay. Because, at least, what we know right now, with Trump's threats to China, About the 50% tariff.

396
00:28:45.090 --> 00:28:51.189
Manny: The U.S. is also trying to prevent other countries from getting involved, and not on our side.

397
00:28:51.330 --> 00:28:53.199
Manny: Yeah. So…

398
00:28:53.420 --> 00:29:04.939
Manny: I think we very much go back to that. I think if you're the US, I would hope from a military standpoint, you have to be assuming that Iran's just using this time to load their stuff back up.

399
00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:14.180
Manny: To get stuff back together, ready to go again. But I'm actually a little bit optimistic. I actually don't think the ceasefire is going to end.

400
00:29:15.090 --> 00:29:20.349
Manny: I think… I don't think anything gets solved before the 22nd. I think there's an extension.

401
00:29:20.910 --> 00:29:25.310
Manny: But I think they, they start rationally thinking about this.

402
00:29:25.470 --> 00:29:34.499
Manny: You know, I just… driving on my way home, I saw one of our local gas stations, they went… their gas went down 10 cents.

403
00:29:35.630 --> 00:29:37.000
Manny: So…

404
00:29:37.800 --> 00:29:51.369
Manny: I think you gotta think politically. We've now gotten to the point gas is starting to ease. You know, we got the report earlier this week that egg prices are down to the historic levels from their highs.

405
00:29:51.370 --> 00:29:56.130
Chuck: No, not historic levels, not historic. It's down recent.

406
00:29:56.130 --> 00:29:58.590
Manny: Recent, sorry, recent levels.

407
00:29:58.590 --> 00:30:02.009
Chuck: My eggs is not back to 56 cent per dozen, so…

408
00:30:02.010 --> 00:30:05.020
Manny: You're right. You're right. They down from recent trends.

409
00:30:05.020 --> 00:30:05.420
Chuck: Oh, yes.

410
00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:06.850
Manny: We have that piece now.

411
00:30:07.010 --> 00:30:10.219
Manny: You get… your gas prices are starting to come down.

412
00:30:10.790 --> 00:30:15.380
Chuck: Listen, listen, let's not… let's not…

413
00:30:16.020 --> 00:30:23.789
Chuck: by the rhetoric of gas prices coming back down. When you raise it by 72 cents, and you bring it down 10 cents…

414
00:30:23.790 --> 00:30:24.120
Manny: What?

415
00:30:25.210 --> 00:30:27.289
Manny: I'm still very much up.

416
00:30:27.290 --> 00:30:31.359
Chuck: paying over $40 to fill up my tank. It's still up.

417
00:30:31.390 --> 00:30:39.039
Manny: But even from that point, it's like, okay, with it attempting to look like it might start receding in some capacity.

418
00:30:39.150 --> 00:30:42.499
Manny: Like, are you really going to drive all that back up?

419
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:55.210
Chuck: And you know what… you know what's funny? And you mentioned that. The other day, I was driving, and thinking about… and this was before my candy rant, the day that caused my candy rant, but I was driving, and I'm like.

420
00:30:55.390 --> 00:30:58.390
Chuck: All this crap has gone up in price.

421
00:30:58.790 --> 00:31:03.990
Chuck: But when things get quote-unquote resolved, or at an end point.

422
00:31:04.170 --> 00:31:05.969
Manny: It don't drop back down!

423
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:12.279
Chuck: Like, why have we not been back below $2 a gallon in gas?

424
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:17.709
Manny: Because graphs look better when they go up and to the right.

425
00:31:17.900 --> 00:31:27.179
Chuck: Like, why? So now, we're 3… and of course, depending on the area you're in determines your gas price, but…

426
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:33.580
Chuck: Upwards of $3.50 to $3… between $3.50 to $3.70 for me around this area.

427
00:31:36.010 --> 00:31:41.119
Chuck: I don't foresee it going… Lower than 280, unfortunately.

428
00:31:41.540 --> 00:31:44.180
Chuck: When things start calming down.

429
00:31:44.550 --> 00:31:45.720
Chuck: Unfortunately.

430
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:47.229
Manny: I, I would…

431
00:31:47.230 --> 00:31:48.799
Chuck: It pisses me off to think about it.

432
00:31:48.870 --> 00:31:56.350
Manny: I think you're spot on with that. I think the lowest we get back to this year is under $3, and that's, like, best case scenario.

433
00:31:56.350 --> 00:31:58.370
Chuck: Best case, yes, yes.

434
00:31:58.370 --> 00:32:04.739
Manny: So… Again, back to the US, there is very little incentive that we have.

435
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:13.700
Manny: to let this play out. Now, it'd be a different story if we, if we actually use the oil we produce.

436
00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:27.800
Manny: But that's not the thing that's really getting ready to add the squeeze. Already, U.S. farmers are having issues, and now we're talking about early in the growing season, and then they're as dependent on fertili… synthetic fertilizer.

437
00:32:27.800 --> 00:32:30.389
Chuck: They had them issues last year.

438
00:32:30.390 --> 00:32:30.760
Manny: Yeah.

439
00:32:31.060 --> 00:32:45.370
Chuck: Coming into this year, before the conflict popped off. So, to add, like you said, early in the growing season, and the shortage in fertilizer, where we got most of our fertilizer from overseas, and…

440
00:32:46.380 --> 00:32:47.469
Chuck: Now they're like.

441
00:32:47.470 --> 00:32:47.930
Manny: I don't.

442
00:32:47.930 --> 00:32:51.270
Chuck: But we… we were already on the brink of bankruptcy.

443
00:32:51.670 --> 00:33:00.939
Chuck: like, knocking on the door. No, we weren't knocking on the door, the door was open. And they had one foot in, one foot out. Do the hokey pokey, turn yourself about.

444
00:33:02.300 --> 00:33:13.880
Chuck: And now you put this in this conundrum, so the price of fertilizer has jumped up. I think I saw somebody say they were paying, like, 200 and something…

445
00:33:14.330 --> 00:33:16.429
Chuck: I can't remember the exact measurement.

446
00:33:16.430 --> 00:33:17.050
Manny: Yep.

447
00:33:17.050 --> 00:33:19.970
Chuck: For fertilizer, now it's over $600?

448
00:33:19.970 --> 00:33:20.610
Manny: Yeah.

449
00:33:21.590 --> 00:33:25.079
Chuck: What in the… like, how can I live?

450
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:30.229
Chuck: Now, forget… forget me profitable, forget making money, how can I live?

451
00:33:30.230 --> 00:33:30.910
Manny: Yep.

452
00:33:31.280 --> 00:33:34.950
Chuck: It's nasty. You're muted, Jeezy, you're muted.

453
00:33:36.290 --> 00:33:40.300
Jeezy: I was saying, you're not even in a position to even break even. No!

454
00:33:40.300 --> 00:33:41.050
Manny: Not at all.

455
00:33:41.050 --> 00:33:48.619
Chuck: No! You're in the hole, somebody threw you a rope, but they didn't hold on to the end of the rope to pull you out.

456
00:33:48.620 --> 00:34:04.559
Jeezy: Bruh, you just… man, it is ridiculous. You know, you said something about tariffs, and I don't know if y'all heard, there was a clip that they asked Trump, I believe when Manny mentioned that, he talked about 50% tariff on China. Did you hear Trump's formula of how he calculates?

457
00:34:05.020 --> 00:34:05.940
Manny: History.

458
00:34:06.370 --> 00:34:07.730
Chuck: Oh, no, I didn't.

459
00:34:07.970 --> 00:34:09.860
Jeezy: I believe I have it here, brother.

460
00:34:10.130 --> 00:34:30.009
Audio shared by Jeezy: Can you explain how you calculated your latest round of tariffs? Was there a formula that was used? And do you expect any of these countries to face tariffs as well? The formula was a formula based on common sense, based on deficits, based on, how we've been treated over the years.

461
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:37.409
Audio shared by Jeezy: And based on raw numbers, and we're gonna have a couple of more coming out today. Brazil, as an example, has been,

462
00:34:37.520 --> 00:34:50.179
Audio shared by Jeezy: Not good to us, not good at all. We're gonna be releasing a Brazil number, I think, later on this afternoon or tomorrow morning. But they're based on very, very substantial facts and also past history.

463
00:34:50.550 --> 00:34:54.789
Audio shared by Jeezy: You look at the past history, we never had anybody in the White House that

464
00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:58.540
Audio shared by Jeezy: Understood the numbers, or… We're into it.

465
00:34:58.540 --> 00:34:59.380
Chuck: There we go.

466
00:34:59.380 --> 00:35:01.180
Manny: Before…

467
00:35:01.180 --> 00:35:10.199
Chuck: Hello, before we comment on what he said, bravo to whoever set that music behind that.

468
00:35:10.690 --> 00:35:12.210
Chuck: Oh, man.

469
00:35:12.550 --> 00:35:14.470
Jeezy: Absolutely comical, bro.

470
00:35:15.150 --> 00:35:16.280
Jeezy: There's a number like him.

471
00:35:16.540 --> 00:35:20.700
Chuck: I wonder if, didn't he go to Wharton School of Business?

472
00:35:20.910 --> 00:35:21.360
Manny: He did.

473
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:29.610
Chuck: I wonder if they taught that. And anybody else who went to the Wharton School of Business, if they learned that same equation.

474
00:35:29.610 --> 00:35:35.310
Jeezy: Hey, listen, if there's anybody that listens to the pod that were classmates with Trump.

475
00:35:35.780 --> 00:35:38.790
Jeezy: Reach out to the boys here at the pod, bro. We got a couple of questions.

476
00:35:39.160 --> 00:35:50.179
Chuck: Or if you… if you went to the Wharton School of Business. I went to a pretty good school of business, so I ain't gonna put it all out there, because they ain't giving me no money either.

477
00:35:50.510 --> 00:35:56.329
Chuck: Anyway. But, it's top 10 in the country, and…

478
00:35:57.010 --> 00:36:03.630
Chuck: That won't end on my curriculum. Shoot, and ECU, school of Business.

479
00:36:04.290 --> 00:36:05.799
Chuck: And I ain't in there, brother.

480
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:06.260
Manny: Name.

481
00:36:07.410 --> 00:36:08.060
Jeezy: Or they're leaving.

482
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:09.030
Manny: He did…

483
00:36:09.030 --> 00:36:10.020
Chuck: Indeed.

484
00:36:10.020 --> 00:36:14.049
Manny: It's like that same, same, math that Big Shack did.

485
00:36:14.660 --> 00:36:15.260
Jeezy: Right.

486
00:36:16.030 --> 00:36:19.049
Chuck: Yeah, I ain't following no man this shit. Well, yes I will, I lied.

487
00:36:19.050 --> 00:36:23.950
Manny: 2 plus 2 equals 4, minus 1, that's 3. Quick maths.

488
00:36:24.260 --> 00:36:29.890
Chuck: Listen, Shaq… Shaq, if he… Shaq can do some math if he drop a bag.

489
00:36:30.260 --> 00:36:30.700
Jeezy: Yeah.

490
00:36:30.700 --> 00:36:36.950
Chuck: Shout out. He around here in Atlanta, and down there be… he be down there in Henry County. Holla at Shaq.

491
00:36:37.530 --> 00:36:39.230
Jeezy: Bruh, when you look at…

492
00:36:39.370 --> 00:36:42.919
Chuck: Don't nobody know that formula, like, in the White House before.

493
00:36:43.550 --> 00:36:44.540
Manny: And no one's…

494
00:36:44.540 --> 00:36:45.010
Jeezy: No app.

495
00:36:45.010 --> 00:36:46.559
Manny: No one will know it afterwards.

496
00:36:46.560 --> 00:36:49.040
Chuck: Nobody knows it right now.

497
00:36:49.520 --> 00:36:57.909
Jeezy: Nobody will not understand or know it like you… it just came, brother. But, you know, when you think about this ceasefire, going back to that, historically.

498
00:36:58.460 --> 00:37:05.860
Jeezy: when ceasefires fail after negotiations collapse, if this happens, to Manny's point, the next phase is usually

499
00:37:06.040 --> 00:37:07.480
Jeezy: Much more aggressive.

500
00:37:08.060 --> 00:37:12.869
Jeezy: And when you have your little cousin like Israel playing in the mix of it.

501
00:37:13.520 --> 00:37:29.859
Jeezy: I think that we see the potential… there's a high potential that this thing could fall apart if it's not handled properly, because it's already fragile, it's already hanging by a thread. So it'll be very interesting now that there is not a deal, because you got someone, like, like, Dementia Donnie.

502
00:37:30.260 --> 00:37:35.900
Jeezy: That's doing things, and we've seen it, to move on to our next part of this segment.

503
00:37:36.750 --> 00:37:38.239
Jeezy: He got a game changer.

504
00:37:39.580 --> 00:37:41.349
Jeezy: Trump threw an EFIS pitch.

505
00:37:42.660 --> 00:37:43.210
Manny: Man, you…

506
00:37:43.210 --> 00:37:45.390
Jeezy: You know what that is? It's straighter hormous.

507
00:37:45.740 --> 00:37:47.220
Jeezy: Trump has announced.

508
00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:48.270
Chuck: Listen.

509
00:37:48.270 --> 00:37:50.030
Jeezy: U.S. is now preparing.

510
00:37:50.830 --> 00:37:55.690
Jeezy: For a naval blockade, of the straight o'er of Moose.

511
00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:56.769
Chuck: Oh, man.

512
00:37:57.330 --> 00:38:01.420
Manny: You're not blocking me, I'm blocking you! I'm blocking you.

513
00:38:02.030 --> 00:38:05.979
Jeezy: And so… When I read this.

514
00:38:06.170 --> 00:38:08.899
Jeezy: He sent out his long,

515
00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:13.460
Jeezy: president of the company, Truth Tweet, and thank you for your attention.

516
00:38:13.460 --> 00:38:15.800
Manny: Thank you for your attention to this matter.

517
00:38:15.830 --> 00:38:17.520
Jeezy: I absolutely hate that, but…

518
00:38:17.520 --> 00:38:19.730
Chuck: If, if you're…

519
00:38:19.730 --> 00:38:30.539
Jeezy: Saying the straight, he demanded that Iran reopen the strait. It has to be reopened. It has to be reopened. They're blocking the straight. Iran is saying, look, you pay that… you pay that ticket.

520
00:38:30.870 --> 00:38:32.070
Jeezy: You can get in.

521
00:38:32.070 --> 00:38:33.479
Chuck: You pay it.

522
00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:34.829
Jeezy: Pay your money at the door.

523
00:38:34.950 --> 00:38:36.630
Jeezy: You can hit the bar.

524
00:38:36.630 --> 00:38:41.650
Manny: He said it was free to 11. It is clearly 11.30.

525
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:43.519
Manny: I need you to pay up.

526
00:38:43.520 --> 00:38:44.219
Jeezy: Pay the M.

527
00:38:44.220 --> 00:38:45.610
Manny: It's funny.

528
00:38:45.610 --> 00:38:49.539
Jeezy: As the great Martin Lawrence said, I ain't paying the fine.

529
00:38:51.500 --> 00:38:53.679
Jeezy: But Trump said…

530
00:38:54.190 --> 00:39:04.309
Jeezy: you know, they gotta open it back up. Iran said, look, if you fool with the U.S, you fool with Israel, but if you pay the price, you can come through. Now Donna T said.

531
00:39:05.390 --> 00:39:06.690
Jeezy: You ain't got it blocked.

532
00:39:07.600 --> 00:39:08.989
Jeezy: Now we blocking it.

533
00:39:09.290 --> 00:39:16.219
Jeezy: We're blocking it, and if you've paid a toll to Iran, you can't come through the Strait of Hormuz.

534
00:39:17.580 --> 00:39:18.160
Jeezy: Bro, what?

535
00:39:18.160 --> 00:39:22.040
Chuck: Or… or we're gonna sink your ship.

536
00:39:22.040 --> 00:39:22.520
Manny: Bye.

537
00:39:22.520 --> 00:39:23.180
Jeezy: Right.

538
00:39:23.520 --> 00:39:25.620
Jeezy: Wh-what? So…

539
00:39:25.620 --> 00:39:27.479
Chuck: He didn't even… I don't…

540
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:32.829
Jeezy: I want to say, let's break this down, but I don't know how you can… I don't know how.

541
00:39:32.830 --> 00:39:35.279
Chuck: Here's the breakdown. Here's the breakdown.

542
00:39:36.200 --> 00:39:37.590
Chuck: F4.

543
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:39.010
Jeezy: Bruh.

544
00:39:40.650 --> 00:39:42.240
Chuck: C6.

545
00:39:42.670 --> 00:39:44.669
Chuck: Because all he's doing is playing battleship.

546
00:39:44.670 --> 00:39:45.420
Manny: Yo!

547
00:39:45.770 --> 00:39:49.089
Jeezy: Somebody take Trump, his board game off his desk.

548
00:39:49.210 --> 00:39:53.010
Jeezy: Because right now… Brad, huh?

549
00:39:53.160 --> 00:39:55.680
Jeezy: What I've written, and that's all I got. Huh?

550
00:39:55.680 --> 00:39:57.290
Chuck: That's all you can get.

551
00:39:58.030 --> 00:40:03.370
Manny: My question is, The military commander that gave him this plan…

552
00:40:03.580 --> 00:40:05.870
Manny: What was the plan that he gave him?

553
00:40:06.170 --> 00:40:08.180
Manny: Because ain't no way, ain't no way.

554
00:40:08.180 --> 00:40:09.310
Jeezy: Not the plan that they gave you.

555
00:40:09.310 --> 00:40:10.989
Manny: This is… this can't be.

556
00:40:11.470 --> 00:40:17.460
Jeezy: He said that they had this philosophy that they could just put mines in the water and it'll stop everything.

557
00:40:17.750 --> 00:40:20.609
Jeezy: Trump said, well, we're going to get those mines. We're gonna go…

558
00:40:20.610 --> 00:40:21.889
Manny: That I have for a mountain.

559
00:40:22.330 --> 00:40:23.940
Jeezy: We're gonna go, we're gonna get them out.

560
00:40:24.260 --> 00:40:25.410
Jeezy: Yeah, opened it up.

561
00:40:25.560 --> 00:40:41.319
Chuck: Yeah, they were talking about that, in the early stages of things, where, before Iran had really shut down the strait, and they were gonna send the, naval sweeper to, clear the path.

562
00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:47.170
Chuck: But that's when he said that, we're gonna go through here, and you're not stopping nobody, and we're gonna do an escort.

563
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:50.829
Chuck: And them… them folks was like, we who?

564
00:40:52.500 --> 00:40:54.809
Chuck: Not wee-wee.

565
00:40:55.010 --> 00:40:57.189
Chuck: And the defense was like, no, not me, me!

566
00:40:57.190 --> 00:41:01.069
Jeezy: Me, me, me. Yo, but you know what's crazy? Is…

567
00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:04.280
Jeezy: Even though Trump says crazy stuff.

568
00:41:05.910 --> 00:41:08.029
Jeezy: We should've thought that this was going to happen.

569
00:41:08.540 --> 00:41:22.159
Jeezy: When they said something about Iran paying tolls, and when the reporter asked him, and Trump said, who paying tolls? Who charging tolls? Trump said, oh, we charging tolls? He said, what about we? He said, have you thought about that concept? And I was like, what do you mean.

570
00:41:22.160 --> 00:41:23.180
Chuck: You're gonna…

571
00:41:23.180 --> 00:41:29.120
Jeezy: How you gonna charge tolls? How you gonna charge tolls? You ain't even in the waters. Like…

572
00:41:29.460 --> 00:41:31.739
Manny: How you hating for me? How you hating me?

573
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:33.740
Manny: side of the club.

574
00:41:33.740 --> 00:41:38.809
Chuck: You can't even get in! Where's the spoon?

575
00:41:40.230 --> 00:41:41.190
Chuck: It's wild.

576
00:41:41.190 --> 00:41:45.459
Jeezy: Brother… So, that's why, when I think about this ceasefire.

577
00:41:45.660 --> 00:41:55.689
Jeezy: And I'm talking about from the previous, phases, part of this segment, of how fragile it is. Oh, bruh, at this point, you about to really have yourself a conflict.

578
00:41:56.150 --> 00:42:00.450
Jeezy: If Iran's saying that, no, we have control of the strait.

579
00:42:00.570 --> 00:42:06.480
Jeezy: Now you're sending ships in here, which we've already seen. They're not afraid to send drones at U.S. ships.

580
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:07.110
Chuck: Nope.

581
00:42:07.640 --> 00:42:10.210
Jeezy: We have another… this is about to be another…

582
00:42:10.790 --> 00:42:13.490
Jeezy: In my opinion, another escalation in this war.

583
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:24.349
Chuck: And let… let them hold true to their word of sinking ships that have paid the toll to come through, and you sink the wrong country… oh, no, the right country ship.

584
00:42:24.640 --> 00:42:25.030
Jeezy: Yep.

585
00:42:25.030 --> 00:42:38.370
Chuck: now you created another escalation in a whole different arena that's causing a whole nother problem. And it's funny because the social media for Iran has been top…

586
00:42:38.370 --> 00:42:38.730
Jeezy: to you.

587
00:42:39.060 --> 00:42:49.229
Chuck: tier, and they… after Trump said all that about sending the battleships and this, that, and the third, they released another emoji cartoon.

588
00:42:49.380 --> 00:42:51.410
Chuck: Saying what was gonna happen.

589
00:42:52.130 --> 00:42:56.990
Chuck: And it's… it's comical, but it's mind-boggling.

590
00:42:57.430 --> 00:43:02.709
Chuck: That he even has the thought, oh, we're just gonna block y'all from blocking us.

591
00:43:02.900 --> 00:43:05.580
Chuck: And… you know.

592
00:43:05.580 --> 00:43:07.280
Jeezy: Whatever we want to let through, we'll let them through.

593
00:43:07.590 --> 00:43:10.290
Chuck: Yeah. What? What are you talking about, man?

594
00:43:10.290 --> 00:43:19.970
Jeezy: if I'm… if I'm anybody, that's that… that's that person that when you was trying to get in the party and you hit them up, they're like, oh yeah, I got you, just come to the door, and tell them that I, that I said you were good.

595
00:43:20.330 --> 00:43:22.740
Chuck: Not at all.

596
00:43:22.740 --> 00:43:23.210
Jeezy: Crazy.

597
00:43:23.210 --> 00:43:31.429
Chuck: Look, you get to the door, don't nobody know who they are, can't nobody find them. Their name not on the list.

598
00:43:31.830 --> 00:43:33.409
Jeezy: You sitting here like, man…

599
00:43:33.410 --> 00:43:36.339
Chuck: Hey, he not answering his phones, nope.

600
00:43:36.340 --> 00:43:39.930
Jeezy: You're trying to flex, you're looking crazy, now you gotta go to the back of the line.

601
00:43:41.340 --> 00:43:43.729
Chuck: That's what drove home at that point.

602
00:43:43.730 --> 00:43:48.169
Manny: Alright, might as well. Your evening, your evening, your plans for your evening, gone.

603
00:43:48.390 --> 00:44:07.130
Jeezy: It'll be interesting how this plays out, but just to reset, to close out this segment, the talks have failed right now. The ceasefire is barely, holding on, and now we're talking about playing a blocking game with one of the most important oil routes in the world. So,

604
00:44:07.410 --> 00:44:16.489
Jeezy: in any of this, it does not, at least in my opinion, view to be a de-escalation. If anything, it looks like that, the pressure's starting to turn up.

605
00:44:16.660 --> 00:44:31.370
Jeezy: And this will be very interesting in the coming week, how, everybody watches this, and most certainly how the key players that are in this war, respond, particularly with Iran, what Israel does,

606
00:44:31.820 --> 00:44:35.090
Jeezy: their conflict with Lebanon, and I just will say this.

607
00:44:35.910 --> 00:44:42.210
Jeezy: There's a lot of people getting the short end of the stick in this, and it is definitely Ukraine and Gaza.

608
00:44:42.210 --> 00:44:42.790
Manny: Bruh.

609
00:44:42.790 --> 00:44:43.959
Jeezy: Ain't nobody talking.

610
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:45.239
Manny: No one… ain't no one's…

611
00:44:45.240 --> 00:44:45.760
Chuck: No word.

612
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:46.619
Manny: about them since.

613
00:44:47.120 --> 00:44:51.969
Jeezy: I ain't said a mumbling word, and I thought about it the other day, I was like, bruh, what…

614
00:44:52.520 --> 00:45:03.949
Jeezy: what could possibly be going on in Gaza right now that we have no idea about, because we have turned a 180 to Iran and what's going on with the U.S. and Iran.

615
00:45:04.010 --> 00:45:16.410
Jeezy: and what may be taking place, or what hasn't taken place, and what's needed with the condition that Gaza and the Palestinian people were left in with what was taking place between them and Israel, so…

616
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:17.540
Jeezy: Wow.

617
00:45:17.540 --> 00:45:24.470
Manny: My last quick note on this, as we watch this unfold over the next week, I would not be surprised

618
00:45:24.680 --> 00:45:29.529
Manny: if we see Lebanon somehow removed from this deal.

619
00:45:31.070 --> 00:45:37.760
Manny: I do not think Lebanon's involvement will last into this deal. I would be shocked if…

620
00:45:38.010 --> 00:45:41.929
Manny: Cause I think it'll probably be about Thursday. Wednesday, Thursday.

621
00:45:42.180 --> 00:45:46.130
Manny: When you… we start hearing talks again about people getting back together.

622
00:45:46.630 --> 00:45:51.990
Manny: I would not be shocked if at the end of the… at the end of this deal period.

623
00:45:52.410 --> 00:45:55.520
Manny: If a ceasefire is set up between

624
00:45:55.670 --> 00:46:01.159
Manny: the U.S. and Iran and Israel and Lebanon are left out of it.

625
00:46:03.780 --> 00:46:04.420
Jeezy: That's crazy.

626
00:46:04.420 --> 00:46:14.629
Chuck: That'll be interesting, because that… what kind of corner does that back us into if Israel decides, oh, I want to kill somebody else?

627
00:46:15.720 --> 00:46:20.710
Manny: Well, I think Israel will have its hands full. You remove Lebanon and Israel from…

628
00:46:20.710 --> 00:46:25.900
Chuck: No, no, I'm talking about… I'm not talking about their conflict between them… each other.

629
00:46:26.010 --> 00:46:29.500
Chuck: I'm talking about… Israel striking…

630
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:41.620
Chuck: in Iran, because as we had reported before, and had been, you know, put out there, that every individual that the U.S. was trying to negotiate with

631
00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:50.260
Chuck: was eviscerated, by Israel. And so, I do agree with you.

632
00:46:50.570 --> 00:46:59.929
Chuck: That for this to be successful, they're definitely gonna have to remove Lebanon and Israel's issues.

633
00:47:00.120 --> 00:47:05.510
Chuck: Out of the ceasefire, because it's up, it's stuck, and it ain't going nowhere.

634
00:47:05.710 --> 00:47:06.070
Manny: Right.

635
00:47:06.070 --> 00:47:06.480
Chuck: Even in.

636
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:07.210
Jeezy: that.

637
00:47:07.620 --> 00:47:10.549
Jeezy: can the U.S. even contain Israel?

638
00:47:10.740 --> 00:47:17.580
Jeezy: So that they can get this done. Because every time it seems like the U.S. may be getting…

639
00:47:17.580 --> 00:47:17.980
Manny: Close.

640
00:47:17.980 --> 00:47:18.820
Jeezy: forward.

641
00:47:19.520 --> 00:47:24.760
Jeezy: Israel comes and knocks us back 3, and when you have Israel saying there's still objectives that they want to…

642
00:47:25.090 --> 00:47:27.360
Jeezy: achieve within the Middle East.

643
00:47:27.650 --> 00:47:31.810
Jeezy: You gotta get them under control, and it doesn't appear that they'll be able to.

644
00:47:32.010 --> 00:47:34.079
Manny: Sounds like that's not my ministry.

645
00:47:34.460 --> 00:47:35.150
Manny: Look.

646
00:47:35.250 --> 00:47:40.780
Jeezy: It's that bad cousin, you gotta send him back there. Grandma, he can't keep coming over here, you gotta… you gotta step back and get his mama out.

647
00:47:40.780 --> 00:47:45.159
Manny: Keep taking apart my toys.

648
00:47:45.220 --> 00:47:50.220
Jeezy: He don't know how to act. We gotta stop inviting Israel to the family reunion, bro.

649
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:55.340
Chuck: He can't cudge of the sleepover.

650
00:47:55.530 --> 00:47:59.979
Chuck: Little bad cousin can't come to the sleepover. If he come over, his mama gotta come pick him up.

651
00:48:00.160 --> 00:48:13.220
Jeezy: Yeah, when it get dark, he gotta go home. Yes. But that is, our, our, update on the, war with the U.S. and Iran. So, moving to our next segment, we have,

652
00:48:14.250 --> 00:48:17.359
Jeezy: Someone made an appearance this past week that we don't know.

653
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:17.890
Chuck: Well, he sees.

654
00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:21.610
Jeezy: In this segment, we're going to be talking about.

655
00:48:21.980 --> 00:48:30.129
Jeezy: Ms. Melania Trump and the Epstein files. They're coming back. You know, I ain't been telling you, the only reason all this is going on is because of Epstein files.

656
00:48:30.130 --> 00:48:32.049
Chuck: That's it. Bruh.

657
00:48:32.420 --> 00:48:35.260
Jeezy: So, you know, for someone,

658
00:48:35.910 --> 00:48:45.379
Jeezy: stepping into one of the most, controversial conversations in politics, you look at the Jeffrey Epstein, files, and the difference in this is that

659
00:48:45.580 --> 00:48:48.530
Jeezy: Melania doesn't really talk.

660
00:48:48.870 --> 00:48:50.509
Jeezy: And I see why.

661
00:48:50.690 --> 00:48:52.869
Chuck: For good reason.

662
00:48:52.870 --> 00:49:08.849
Jeezy: I see why. She's built a reputation on really staying quiet. She's very much seen and not heard, which is not very typical of a First Lady. She tries. I think sometimes, I think, you know, Dinah T pushes her out there a little bit more.

663
00:49:08.850 --> 00:49:14.690
Jeezy: in some weird situation, sometimes she was reading to the kids at Easter, which that may be a tradition that the First Lady does.

664
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:18.440
Jeezy: But with her English, No, sir.

665
00:49:18.440 --> 00:49:23.029
Chuck: She didn't read to the right group of kids. I was like, we can't understand you.

666
00:49:23.030 --> 00:49:28.359
Jeezy: They should've… kids should've did like her husband be doing, where he be talking to people with a little bit of an accent.

667
00:49:28.360 --> 00:49:29.720
Chuck: Yes.

668
00:49:29.720 --> 00:49:37.319
Jeezy: I don't know if y'all saw Trump at the Easter event, but he was talking to the kids, talking about Joe Biden and his auto pen.

669
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:38.170
Chuck: Yes, indeed.

670
00:49:38.170 --> 00:49:42.630
Manny: He's like, if you don't just give me my fun-sized Snickers.

671
00:49:42.630 --> 00:49:43.060
Jeezy: Yo!

672
00:49:43.060 --> 00:49:43.740
Manny: That's fine.

673
00:49:43.740 --> 00:49:52.520
Jeezy: He just wants some candy. He said, you know Joe Biden used to go walk around with an auto pen, it was crazy. Yeah, Kamala Harris, brother, these are kids.

674
00:49:52.520 --> 00:49:54.030
Manny: Don't even care.

675
00:49:54.670 --> 00:50:00.060
Jeezy: But Melania stepped in… she stepped into the spotlight, and I wanted to play a clip, she made a very…

676
00:50:01.180 --> 00:50:12.900
Jeezy: interesting appearance, and really random, out of nowhere. Just came out and did a speech, which, again, is very unusual for us. I wanted to play this clip.

677
00:50:17.620 --> 00:50:20.460
Audio shared by Jeezy: I never been friends with Epstein.

678
00:50:21.380 --> 00:50:25.749
Audio shared by Jeezy: Donald and I were invited to the same parties.

679
00:50:26.060 --> 00:50:28.479
Audio shared by Jeezy: as Epstein, from time to time.

680
00:50:29.010 --> 00:50:37.099
Audio shared by Jeezy: Since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City, and Palm Beach.

681
00:50:38.860 --> 00:50:47.320
Audio shared by Jeezy: To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein, or his accomplice, Maxwell.

682
00:50:48.330 --> 00:50:50.710
Audio shared by Jeezy: My email replied to Maxwell.

683
00:50:50.870 --> 00:50:55.500
Audio shared by Jeezy: cannot be Caterrest as anything more.

684
00:50:56.190 --> 00:50:57.450
Jeezy: I'mma stop right there.

685
00:50:58.740 --> 00:50:59.569
Chuck: Thank you.

686
00:51:01.250 --> 00:51:06.650
Jeezy: For Trump to treat people the way he treat them, when they… with their access.

687
00:51:06.790 --> 00:51:09.669
Jeezy: I know good and well he don't have no conversation with Melania.

688
00:51:11.850 --> 00:51:12.250
Chuck: No.

689
00:51:12.250 --> 00:51:13.600
Jeezy: I can't listen to Melania.

690
00:51:13.730 --> 00:51:15.620
Jeezy: And I got more patience than Trump.

691
00:51:17.650 --> 00:51:21.670
Jeezy: But she came out of nowhere. I mean, left field.

692
00:51:21.850 --> 00:51:26.019
Jeezy: Literally, with this, with this, this, speech that she delivered.

693
00:51:26.530 --> 00:51:30.460
Jeezy: Basically, on the Epstein files, defending herself.

694
00:51:30.700 --> 00:51:37.040
Jeezy: Saying that she was not a victim of him, which… I'mma say this, and maybe I'm wrong, because I don't live in New York City or Palm Beach.

695
00:51:38.150 --> 00:51:42.380
Jeezy: But… Birds of a feather, my grandma always told me, flock together.

696
00:51:45.390 --> 00:51:49.050
Jeezy: And, typically, you know.

697
00:51:49.460 --> 00:52:00.909
Jeezy: mess gonna be he with Mess. And… for you to say that y'all just frequent the same social circles, it sounds like that a lot of y'all might have been into the same thing. But that ain't none of my business allegations. But here.

698
00:52:01.020 --> 00:52:06.860
Jeezy: She said that… she wanted… Truth, and accountability.

699
00:52:08.180 --> 00:52:19.270
Jeezy: those that were involved with Epstein and Epstein-related matters. She said that, the public deserves transparency and that justice cannot be, selective.

700
00:52:19.620 --> 00:52:23.100
Jeezy: And that line right there, justice cannot be selective.

701
00:52:23.460 --> 00:52:37.940
Jeezy: That's a shot at how this whole Epstein situation really has been handled. So when you look at someone like Melania, who stays out of the spotlight, suddenly talking about something this heavy, and I mean, she went as far as to, you know, say Congress needs to do something.

702
00:52:38.100 --> 00:52:53.169
Jeezy: About this. When you see someone like her who doesn't hardly speak talk about something so heavy, does this seem to make it hit harder, to you, or does this raise more questions about what is being hidden in these files, or lack thereof?

703
00:52:54.150 --> 00:52:59.410
Chuck: will… It raises more questions for…

704
00:53:01.230 --> 00:53:02.820
Manny: Way more questions than answers.

705
00:53:02.820 --> 00:53:20.989
Chuck: Yeah, that's the way… that's the perfect way to say it. Way more questions than answers, because I already had apprehensions. And the way things that are presented… have been presented previously lets me know that there's a lot of people not telling the whole truth. You're telling hard

706
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:23.280
Chuck: and giving…

707
00:53:23.500 --> 00:53:37.160
Chuck: enough information to try to, sidestep any direct connections. But what's very interesting about this, first and foremost, it was unannounced. It just…

708
00:53:37.670 --> 00:53:39.469
Chuck: She just popped out.

709
00:53:39.720 --> 00:53:43.130
Chuck: unknowingly, and then the reports came out that Trump had no idea.

710
00:53:43.130 --> 00:53:43.700
Manny: No idea.

711
00:53:43.700 --> 00:53:44.150
Jeezy: Yeah.

712
00:53:44.150 --> 00:53:46.569
Chuck: that she was doing this, and…

713
00:53:46.570 --> 00:53:47.770
Jeezy: and her team alone.

714
00:53:48.140 --> 00:53:51.360
Chuck: And that's it. And so, when she did it, you know.

715
00:53:51.540 --> 00:54:04.830
Chuck: everybody was like, what? What's going on? And for this to be the reason that you step out and address this, and the heat from the Epstein files

716
00:54:05.730 --> 00:54:10.119
Chuck: had died down. It was, like, on low. It was on simmer.

717
00:54:10.170 --> 00:54:15.670
Manny: I wouldn't say that the heat was on simmer, I would just say the Iran war came in.

718
00:54:15.670 --> 00:54:22.780
Chuck: That's what I was about to say. That's why… that's why I say it's on simmer, because it… look, I'm gonna break it down to…

719
00:54:22.780 --> 00:54:26.219
Jeezy: It was definitely not leading in topics, for sure.

720
00:54:26.220 --> 00:54:26.890
Manny: It was not.

721
00:54:26.890 --> 00:54:31.290
Chuck: It's like when you cook that meal, you cook your rice.

722
00:54:31.770 --> 00:54:51.680
Chuck: and your rice is boiling, and you get it going, and it's at its point where I can put it on low, and get a low simmer, put the lid on. It's still hot, but I got my pork chops that's over here frying right now. And this Iran conflict is the pork chops frying right now, and I gotta put my focus on this, but I know my rice is over here on simmer.

723
00:54:51.840 --> 00:54:56.370
Chuck: Because I want to keep it warm, I don't want to get cold, but I can't let it burn.

724
00:54:56.680 --> 00:55:00.400
Chuck: And that's where it was. And when she…

725
00:55:00.670 --> 00:55:04.659
Chuck: Popped out, all of a sudden, start talking about this.

726
00:55:04.830 --> 00:55:05.489
Jeezy: It turned 18.

727
00:55:05.490 --> 00:55:06.030
Chuck: Rebecca.

728
00:55:06.560 --> 00:55:11.340
Chuck: Let's turn… let's turn this up, because this rice ain't quite done yet.

729
00:55:11.340 --> 00:55:11.950
Manny: Yep.

730
00:55:11.950 --> 00:55:18.900
Chuck: I need to stir just a little bit, and… and so, for her, the…

731
00:55:19.850 --> 00:55:30.210
Chuck: declarations, because these were strong declarations that she made. Yes, sir. These were not just some passive, oh, well, you know…

732
00:55:30.210 --> 00:55:30.970
Manny: This was…

733
00:55:30.970 --> 00:55:31.480
Chuck: You could have pain.

734
00:55:31.980 --> 00:55:32.950
Chuck: Yes.

735
00:55:32.950 --> 00:55:36.390
Manny: It's an attorney-reviewed press conference.

736
00:55:36.390 --> 00:55:41.570
Chuck: Yes. And for her to say, oh, Maxwell.

737
00:55:41.770 --> 00:55:43.829
Chuck: Girl, you know that woman's name.

738
00:55:43.990 --> 00:55:46.689
Chuck: Because that email was very informal.

739
00:55:46.830 --> 00:55:52.229
Chuck: That email that you sent was not somebody who…

740
00:55:52.770 --> 00:55:59.290
Chuck: By chance, we exchanged information, and… that was… oh, that's my homegirl.

741
00:55:59.970 --> 00:56:06.299
Chuck: You know, that's my… that's… y'all might not be the best of friends, and it's very interesting how…

742
00:56:06.940 --> 00:56:15.959
Chuck: The women dynamic is with the ranking of their friends, the girlfriends, and then that girl that they'll go out with, but they ain't the best of friends.

743
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:17.060
Manny: Cool with, yep.

744
00:56:17.800 --> 00:56:23.180
Chuck: And that's what it feels like. It feels like that girl I'll go out with, but, you know…

745
00:56:23.500 --> 00:56:34.779
Chuck: It's, it's borderline. And… just the nature, one, of Melania popping out and speaking.

746
00:56:35.120 --> 00:56:35.830
Jeezy: Yeah.

747
00:56:35.830 --> 00:56:37.649
Chuck: I can count on…

748
00:56:37.850 --> 00:56:45.400
Chuck: both hands for both terms of this presidency of how many times I've heard her speak.

749
00:56:46.900 --> 00:56:48.040
Jeezy: Bruh, it is…

750
00:56:48.040 --> 00:56:55.389
Chuck: Even with the movie, even with the movie, there was not a lot of, promo of hers… No, it wasn't like a big sit-out.

751
00:56:55.390 --> 00:56:57.590
Jeezy: down, interview, rollout.

752
00:56:57.590 --> 00:56:58.129
Chuck: Oh my gosh!

753
00:56:58.130 --> 00:57:02.219
Jeezy: Melania does two things very well.

754
00:57:02.660 --> 00:57:06.950
Jeezy: She gonna show up, And she gonna have that fit on. She be fitted up.

755
00:57:06.950 --> 00:57:07.750
Chuck: Oh, she…

756
00:57:07.750 --> 00:57:08.340
Manny: the, the…

757
00:57:08.340 --> 00:57:11.190
Jeezy: I ain't gonna… I ain't gonna hold her. She be fitted up.

758
00:57:11.190 --> 00:57:13.850
Chuck: You cannot take away from that woman.

759
00:57:14.150 --> 00:57:14.760
Jeezy: Pit it up, bro.

760
00:57:15.490 --> 00:57:34.719
Jeezy: But that's it! But, you know, you had her come out, and I mean, Chuck, you made a good point. There were some key details that she said in this that it… kind of what Manny said, very, very attorney, you know, you know, crafted statement. You know, she talked a lot about basically distancing herself to any of it.

761
00:57:34.780 --> 00:57:36.650
Jeezy: And, you know…

762
00:57:36.830 --> 00:57:44.149
Jeezy: no one should be above scrutiny. I mean, that's… those are heavy things when you have someone like your husband, you know, dining tea.

763
00:57:44.350 --> 00:58:00.619
Jeezy: Saying, oh, all this… y'all giving him too much heat, y'all talking about this man too much, it's nothing, I ain't had nothing to do with it. And she didn't say any names or anything, but she said… she really made a case for the victims that they deserve full transparency, no partial releases, no redacted information.

764
00:58:00.950 --> 00:58:06.750
Jeezy: the full picture. I mean, she even went as far as to say, you know,

765
00:58:07.310 --> 00:58:11.710
Jeezy: that power and influence shouldn't protect people from exposure. Like…

766
00:58:12.520 --> 00:58:20.460
Jeezy: That's pretty major when you look at what potentially, allegedly, your husband's involvement has been with this, if true.

767
00:58:21.040 --> 00:58:25.909
Manny: Well, and that's the part that I thought was real interesting.

768
00:58:26.090 --> 00:58:35.169
Manny: Because to go from her quote, where she was like, to be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell.

769
00:58:35.660 --> 00:58:39.810
Manny: to then later on say, Epstein was not alone.

770
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:43.080
Manny: Right. Well, if you weren't involved…

771
00:58:43.790 --> 00:58:46.000
Manny: How do you know he wasn't alone?

772
00:58:46.810 --> 00:58:52.500
Manny: Like, that… That sounds like, you know, 2 plus.

773
00:58:52.500 --> 00:58:53.440
Jeezy: Like, you know something.

774
00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:54.360
Manny: threefold. White.

775
00:58:54.360 --> 00:58:58.130
Chuck: facts. So…

776
00:58:58.130 --> 00:59:05.420
Manny: And for her to have, again, popped it out, for me, it reads as if I'm trying… they're trying to get ahead of something.

777
00:59:05.810 --> 00:59:06.390
Jeezy: Yep.

778
00:59:06.600 --> 00:59:09.379
Chuck: Well, being that you said that…

779
00:59:09.380 --> 00:59:09.700
Manny: -Oh.

780
00:59:09.780 --> 00:59:24.370
Chuck: There was a report, and I feel like a little messy little girl on this end. So there's a young lady by the name of, and I'm gonna tear this last name up, but peace be the dream. They read the Bible.

781
00:59:24.540 --> 00:59:26.660
Chuck: Amanda N'Garo.

782
00:59:26.770 --> 00:59:29.320
Chuck: I believe it is.

783
00:59:29.450 --> 00:59:42.309
Chuck: came out and was like, Melania, you lying. And I got the receipts to say you lying, and keep it up, I'll expose everything. But what's very interesting about this is her former partner.

784
00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:45.260
Chuck: Paulo Zampali.

785
00:59:45.670 --> 00:59:53.339
Chuck: They broke up, and the rumor is that he had Trump get her deported.

786
00:59:53.340 --> 00:59:53.660
Manny: Sported.

787
00:59:53.660 --> 00:59:54.130
Chuck: ordered.

788
00:59:54.130 --> 00:59:54.820
Manny: Yep.

789
00:59:55.240 --> 00:59:56.640
Chuck: And…

790
00:59:56.640 --> 00:59:57.530
Jeezy: See, man.

791
00:59:57.530 --> 01:00:00.979
Chuck: Oh, you wanna deport me? And I know you're dirt?

792
01:00:01.150 --> 01:00:02.630
Jeezy: Missy.

793
01:00:02.830 --> 01:00:11.460
Chuck: And so, it's, and this is a recent deportation. Like, this ain't… this ain't… this is the last…

794
01:00:11.460 --> 01:00:12.689
Manny: term. Yeah.

795
01:00:12.690 --> 01:00:21.790
Chuck: This is recent, dude. He got a bitter beer face, and used his connections to get her up out of here.

796
01:00:21.790 --> 01:00:23.390
Jeezy: And so she's like, okay…

797
01:00:23.560 --> 01:00:27.979
Chuck: okay, I'mma let the opera sing, and… and…

798
01:00:28.980 --> 01:00:32.880
Chuck: The rumor, the reports out there is that

799
01:00:33.930 --> 01:00:47.340
Chuck: This energy was presented. Before she posted it on social media, this energy was presented, and they was like, okay, we gotta get you out here and get you ahead of this, because this was a very random pop-out.

800
01:00:47.340 --> 01:00:49.840
Jeezy: Bad random, bro. Again.

801
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:57.159
Chuck: And the headlines… if it was this important about you distancing yourself from Epstein.

802
01:00:57.160 --> 01:00:57.639
Jeezy: It's gonna be…

803
01:00:57.640 --> 01:00:59.020
Chuck: This should've been…

804
01:00:59.020 --> 01:00:59.630
Manny: eons.

805
01:00:59.630 --> 01:01:01.340
Chuck: Been done this. Been Dennis.

806
01:01:01.340 --> 01:01:03.910
Jeezy: Crazy, to the point you made earlier, Chuck.

807
01:01:04.470 --> 01:01:09.660
Jeezy: It won't even like you was, like, in the headlines this week of your connection to this, like…

808
01:01:10.090 --> 01:01:10.580
Chuck: Yeah.

809
01:01:10.580 --> 01:01:18.280
Jeezy: the moment was just so entirely random. That's just… to me, that's like my 5-year-old coming and saying.

810
01:01:19.660 --> 01:01:21.920
Jeezy: Yeah, I didn't, I didn't… I didn't do that.

811
01:01:22.250 --> 01:01:22.850
Chuck: Yo.

812
01:01:22.850 --> 01:01:29.250
Jeezy: Come on, I ain't even saying nothing. Like, we all done been there, like, Daddy, I didn't touch your pins.

813
01:01:29.400 --> 01:01:41.350
Jeezy: Because I just got on Logan about that, I gotta… I got… you know, everybody… I'm getting that phase of that dadhood where I gotta… I got my bag that I have my nice pins in it, like, those are the ones that I… you know what I'm saying? Don't… don't touch those.

814
01:01:42.470 --> 01:01:47.300
Jeezy: She came in here and was like, Dad, I didn't touch your pins. We… huh? I ain't even said nothing.

815
01:01:47.300 --> 01:01:51.599
Manny: She's just trying to let the record be known.

816
01:01:51.600 --> 01:01:59.460
Jeezy: So now you know I gotta get up and go, look, man, you done drew whole pictures when you… well, I put it back with… See, you could have got away with it, and I wouldn't even have known nothing.

817
01:01:59.460 --> 01:02:00.439
Chuck: Melania, you…

818
01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:05.270
Jeezy: You could've got away when we ain't even know. Now you saying something, now everybody gotta say, okay.

819
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:06.030
Jeezy: What do you.

820
01:02:06.030 --> 01:02:09.340
Chuck: They might have had a little sympathy for her had she not opened her mouth like this.

821
01:02:10.140 --> 01:02:10.680
Jeezy: Maybe.

822
01:02:10.680 --> 01:02:15.229
Chuck: Because… because… again, I was a little messy…

823
01:02:15.330 --> 01:02:19.350
Jeezy: messy girl. It's never too late to start some meh.

824
01:02:19.350 --> 01:02:25.370
Chuck: But the rumors and the reports were,

825
01:02:26.170 --> 01:02:39.850
Chuck: Melania was a part of a Call Girl service, or Escort service. There was somebody who even dropped old screen clippings of an old website, that was used for this service.

826
01:02:39.850 --> 01:02:48.350
Chuck: But, interestingly enough, one of the video clips where they show Trump introducing Melania to Epstein.

827
01:02:48.560 --> 01:02:52.880
Chuck: He was still with his second wife when they were together.

828
01:02:53.480 --> 01:03:01.369
Chuck: Because he… he introduced her, her maiden name, which I can't… I ain't even about to try it, but .

829
01:03:01.370 --> 01:03:03.150
Jeezy: What is Melania's maiden name?

830
01:03:03.150 --> 01:03:13.469
Chuck: Something. Something. That's a good question. I don't even know. It is something. But he introduced her, and it was her maiden name, and it was like, yeah, Trump was still with his second wife during this time period.

831
01:03:14.180 --> 01:03:16.750
Jeezy: Mmm, MAGA Christians, how will you feel about that?

832
01:03:18.410 --> 01:03:19.080
Manny: Man.

833
01:03:19.080 --> 01:03:21.339
Chuck: They don't care. They don't care.

834
01:03:21.810 --> 01:03:30.440
Manny: And then building off of that, like, you look at all of Melania's comments in this standpoint, talking about, you know.

835
01:03:30.770 --> 01:03:40.469
Manny: giving the victims their chance to be heard. The hearings doesn't fix the architecture of this situation.

836
01:03:41.790 --> 01:03:43.249
Manny: Let's run this back.

837
01:03:43.380 --> 01:03:44.349
Chuck: Keep talking.

838
01:03:44.350 --> 01:03:54.669
Manny: Epstein was arrested in 06, he got… he got the deal in 08, got re-arrested in 2019, and then he died.

839
01:03:54.850 --> 01:04:00.409
Manny: like, the issue has never been accountability. They've known who to hold accountable.

840
01:04:00.640 --> 01:04:04.390
Manny: It's… it's how this has been set up from… from the gates.

841
01:04:04.590 --> 01:04:10.010
Manny: This has always been set up like Epstein knew too much, so we can't go at him so hard.

842
01:04:10.270 --> 01:04:10.920
Jeezy: Yep.

843
01:04:11.260 --> 01:04:29.989
Manny: the… and then you're looking at everything else, so Bondi, she was supposed to have, her congressional hearing that's now effectively been canceled, because they were like, well, we called her here because she was acting as Attorney General. Now that she's not Attorney General, she don't really need to come.

844
01:04:30.260 --> 01:04:49.420
Manny: So, you got that. You got Howard Lutnik. So, if one person is mad at Melania, it's Howard Lutnik, because she put all the eyes back on him, because he's going to go, speak before Congress. And I think that happens early in May.

845
01:04:49.600 --> 01:04:57.779
Manny: But the new name that's now been added to that list of people who gotta go speak to Congress is, oh, oh, William Gates.

846
01:04:59.680 --> 01:05:00.900
Manny: He's got… he's got a head.

847
01:05:00.900 --> 01:05:02.000
Chuck: Billy Boy.

848
01:05:02.070 --> 01:05:02.580
Manny: he's got.

849
01:05:02.580 --> 01:05:03.170
Chuck: Available.

850
01:05:03.170 --> 01:05:06.619
Manny: to speak to Congress on the 10th of June.

851
01:05:08.370 --> 01:05:08.980
Jeezy: Fair enough.

852
01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:15.660
Jeezy: At any rate, I don't think that this was, a genuine push.

853
01:05:15.810 --> 01:05:18.539
Jeezy: from Melania on accountability.

854
01:05:18.820 --> 01:05:23.389
Jeezy: I really think that this was… let me get… let me get out there before it get out there.

855
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:30.560
Jeezy: and… If I say something now, Maybe when everything will hit.

856
01:05:30.840 --> 01:05:34.569
Jeezy: The public eye, the court of public opinion will show me some grace.

857
01:05:34.570 --> 01:05:35.140
Manny: Yep.

858
01:05:35.580 --> 01:05:38.349
Jeezy: And… I'm gonna be honest with you, Miss Melania.

859
01:05:38.520 --> 01:05:40.840
Jeezy: You be fitted up, but it ain't gonna work.

860
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:42.180
Manny: It's not gonna work.

861
01:05:42.180 --> 01:05:42.570
Jeezy: Sorry.

862
01:05:42.570 --> 01:05:43.270
Manny: It's not gonna work.

863
01:05:43.270 --> 01:05:50.689
Jeezy: It ain't gonna work, because regardless of the fact… now, unless she plays the card that I was a victim, but she can't play it because she already said I wasn't.

864
01:05:50.690 --> 01:05:52.050
Chuck: I about to say, she can't play that card.

865
01:05:52.050 --> 01:05:52.680
Manny: Yeah, let's go.

866
01:05:52.680 --> 01:05:57.909
Chuck: I didn't know these folks. I had no connection or relationship with them.

867
01:05:58.350 --> 01:05:59.210
Chuck: -

868
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:01.680
Jeezy: That's tragic, bruh.

869
01:06:02.210 --> 01:06:02.950
Jeezy: Well…

870
01:06:02.950 --> 01:06:05.240
Manny: It's even more tragic for the victims.

871
01:06:05.470 --> 01:06:06.330
Jeezy: It is.

872
01:06:06.750 --> 01:06:09.089
Jeezy: Why y'all playing games with me?

873
01:06:09.090 --> 01:06:09.660
Manny: Right.

874
01:06:09.660 --> 01:06:13.500
Chuck: Continuously, continuously playing games with these people.

875
01:06:13.800 --> 01:06:14.420
Jeezy: Bruh.

876
01:06:14.680 --> 01:06:23.149
Chuck: And keep dragging them through with no true retribution, no true… you keep bringing it up, and not doing it.

877
01:06:23.150 --> 01:06:27.009
Jeezy: doing nothing about it. Why we keep talking about my trauma, but ain't nobody doing nothing about it?

878
01:06:27.010 --> 01:06:42.359
Chuck: Oh, oh, now that… and as we're speaking about this, I did see the report that the young lady who accused… who interviewed with the FBI and said that Trump violated her when she was a minor.

879
01:06:42.470 --> 01:06:52.759
Chuck: There was somebody who, who… I'm trying to remember who it was, but they were saying that there is a lot of validity to this young lady's testimony.

880
01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:57.050
Chuck: So… Yeah.

881
01:06:57.800 --> 01:07:01.970
Jeezy: And where are the… T.I, bring him out, bring them out.

882
01:07:02.250 --> 01:07:04.629
Jeezy: It's hard to yell when that barrel in your mouth.

883
01:07:04.890 --> 01:07:06.890
Chuck: Little… Swoozy!

884
01:07:07.980 --> 01:07:10.289
Jeezy: You know, Melania, I see what you're trying to do.

885
01:07:10.590 --> 01:07:13.590
Jeezy: But, if you haven't learned by now.

886
01:07:14.200 --> 01:07:16.800
Jeezy: There's some fools that live in this… in this world.

887
01:07:17.730 --> 01:07:19.079
Jeezy: But we ain't one of them.

888
01:07:19.610 --> 01:07:21.460
Jeezy: Good, good try.

889
01:07:21.460 --> 01:07:28.739
Chuck: As the old folks tells you, I was born at night, not… but not last night.

890
01:07:29.980 --> 01:07:31.189
Chuck: Oh, me, oh my.

891
01:07:31.190 --> 01:07:38.299
Jeezy: So, Melania has raked the coals back under the Epstein files again, and

892
01:07:38.540 --> 01:07:42.529
Jeezy: We'll see what happens, but I honestly think… Go ahead, brother.

893
01:07:42.530 --> 01:07:51.249
Chuck: I was gonna say, and the timing is very serendipitous, because as we… Enter a point where we're…

894
01:07:51.380 --> 01:08:00.510
Chuck: Trying to have these ceasefire and peace talks, and there's limited action, or hopes of limited action in the conflict.

895
01:08:01.290 --> 01:08:03.029
Chuck: You have this press conference?

896
01:08:03.150 --> 01:08:05.720
Chuck: And bring things back up to the forefront?

897
01:08:06.220 --> 01:08:07.950
Chuck: So now, what are we talking about?

898
01:08:08.370 --> 01:08:10.180
Jeezy: And your husband didn't know about it?

899
01:08:11.170 --> 01:08:13.359
Chuck: Oh, that, I mean, right there.

900
01:08:13.360 --> 01:08:14.330
Jeezy: Save the…

901
01:08:14.330 --> 01:08:22.420
Chuck: I know that conversation was not a pretty one, with everybody in the background, because he was blindsided when they asked him about it.

902
01:08:22.710 --> 01:08:23.350
Jeezy: Yep.

903
01:08:24.279 --> 01:08:24.999
Manny: Or he was sleeping.

904
01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:26.179
Jeezy: How you don't know what your wife.

905
01:08:26.180 --> 01:08:27.870
Chuck: Dude, he's leak.

906
01:08:28.160 --> 01:08:29.629
Jeezy: Trump, get your house in order.

907
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:31.620
Jeezy: Get your house in order.

908
01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:36.959
Chuck: Oh, I had something to say.

909
01:08:37.609 --> 01:08:41.489
Manny: I'm just saying, look, man, we done seen Trump doze off in many.

910
01:08:41.490 --> 01:08:43.770
Chuck: No, no, no, no, it won't…

911
01:08:43.779 --> 01:08:46.149
Jeezy: Download, down note, I'm going to talk about…

912
01:08:46.569 --> 01:08:46.929
Chuck: W.

913
01:08:46.930 --> 01:08:48.810
Jeezy: Epstein foundals over that slump mouth.

914
01:08:49.089 --> 01:08:49.364
Manny: Shit.

915
01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:53.879
Chuck: It wasn't about him being asleepy, it was about having his house in order.

916
01:08:55.830 --> 01:09:00.749
Chuck: Don't be… Hey. Don't be careful. Hey, look.

917
01:09:02.540 --> 01:09:05.349
Chuck: Don't be sorry, be careful. Be careful.

918
01:09:05.350 --> 01:09:07.560
Jeezy: Alright, be careful.

919
01:09:08.270 --> 01:09:13.990
Jeezy: But yeah, you know, we'll see what comes of this, melania's calling for action.

920
01:09:14.229 --> 01:09:18.870
Jeezy: We'll see if the First Lady can pull the cowards of Congress into action.

921
01:09:19.310 --> 01:09:21.289
Jeezy: Tbd. We shall see.

922
01:09:21.910 --> 01:09:27.510
Jeezy: So, that's our coverage of, Melania and the Epstein Files.

923
01:09:28.130 --> 01:09:30.300
Jeezy: Melania, how long Melania been here?

924
01:09:30.550 --> 01:09:32.079
Jeezy: I just gotta ask, bruh.

925
01:09:33.229 --> 01:09:34.379
Manny: She's been here.

926
01:09:34.380 --> 01:09:41.020
Chuck: Long enough, long enough. Oh, okay. Long enough. She was here in the 90s. She was here in the 90s.

927
01:09:41.219 --> 01:09:49.179
Jeezy: Her, her, bro, her English is like… and I ain't hating on nobody that, you know, has an accent. This, this ain't that.

928
01:09:49.489 --> 01:09:52.849
Jeezy: But… Homegirl sounded like she got hit last week.

929
01:09:54.020 --> 01:09:54.760
Chuck: Yeah.

930
01:09:55.790 --> 01:09:56.340
Jeezy: And I…

931
01:09:56.340 --> 01:09:56.940
Chuck: B.

932
01:09:57.170 --> 01:09:59.309
Chuck: And it's funny, because…

933
01:10:00.130 --> 01:10:11.140
Chuck: to the point you made at the very beginning, how Trump responds… who… where was that in the, they were asking him questions, and he told the people to stop talking to him?

934
01:10:11.140 --> 01:10:11.740
Jeezy: Yup, yup.

935
01:10:11.740 --> 01:10:13.209
Chuck: Because he couldn't understand them?

936
01:10:13.210 --> 01:10:14.599
Jeezy: It was an Indian, man, he was…

937
01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:19.040
Chuck: He couldn't get through his…

938
01:10:19.040 --> 01:10:19.540
Jeezy: today.

939
01:10:19.540 --> 01:10:24.399
Chuck: I understood him. I was about to say that. I can understand him, and I struggle. His English will.

940
01:10:24.400 --> 01:10:28.800
Jeezy: His angles were better than Melania's, and I was like, bruh, ain't no way in the world, bruh.

941
01:10:29.120 --> 01:10:30.330
Chuck: I remember it.

942
01:10:30.330 --> 01:10:34.819
Jeezy: So she probably did tell Trump that she was gonna do this, and Trump don't be listening to Melanie.

943
01:10:35.400 --> 01:10:39.090
Jeezy: He don't be listening. And his ripe old age? Yeah,

944
01:10:39.720 --> 01:10:47.609
Chuck: I know in College Board, if I saw on that syllabus that I had a professor who may have had an accent.

945
01:10:47.610 --> 01:10:48.180
Jeezy: Look.

946
01:10:48.920 --> 01:10:53.180
Chuck: I had to pray, because… and there's nothing derogatory, discriminatory.

947
01:10:53.180 --> 01:10:53.949
Jeezy: Not at all.

948
01:10:53.950 --> 01:10:58.790
Chuck: I couldn't understand you. I couldn't understand you, and I'm… I'm jeopardizing…

949
01:10:58.910 --> 01:11:01.739
Chuck: migrate, because I can't understand you.

950
01:11:02.110 --> 01:11:09.289
Jeezy: Listen, my professor, was like that for, my college algebra class. I sat down.

951
01:11:09.720 --> 01:11:11.319
Jeezy: And as soon as he talked.

952
01:11:11.440 --> 01:11:13.699
Jeezy: I don't think I sat in that class 5 minutes.

953
01:11:14.100 --> 01:11:24.000
Jeezy: I said, bro, I ain't no way… I know I ain't gonna make it through this. I don't know nothing that you… I can't even understand nothing. I ain't heard nothing you said for 5 minutes. Yup. Let me go ahead and get up outta here.

954
01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:24.510
Chuck: And that's…

955
01:11:24.510 --> 01:11:25.530
Jeezy: for lake sandwich.

956
01:11:25.530 --> 01:11:28.999
Chuck: And I don't want to disrespect you, but like, can you say that again? What'd you say?

957
01:11:29.280 --> 01:11:30.410
Jeezy: I ain't gonna do you like that.

958
01:11:30.410 --> 01:11:32.139
Chuck: I ain't gonna do you like that, so no.

959
01:11:32.440 --> 01:11:34.600
Jeezy: And this is where we part ways, brother.

960
01:11:36.070 --> 01:11:39.160
Chuck: Parting is such sweet sorrow. Bruh.

961
01:11:39.790 --> 01:11:46.629
Jeezy: But Melania… you gotta… that makes me wonder what Baron sounds like, because he with Melania 24-7.

962
01:11:48.000 --> 01:11:51.719
Jeezy: So, do he speak with a little bit of a little bit of a twain?

963
01:11:52.220 --> 01:11:54.289
Jeezy: He sounds like he's from New Orleans?

964
01:11:54.360 --> 01:12:00.210
Chuck: Come on now, no. That's my… that's my all-time favorite.

965
01:12:00.210 --> 01:12:01.130
Jeezy: Yo, look…

966
01:12:01.130 --> 01:12:02.280
Chuck: Hinge.

967
01:12:02.490 --> 01:12:07.089
Chuck: He might sound like he from Baton Rouge.

968
01:12:08.160 --> 01:12:10.639
Chuck: Or the bayou, somewhere in the swamp.

969
01:12:10.870 --> 01:12:16.780
Jeezy: Cause I ain't never heard… bruh, outside of, I think, a video clip of him Baron talk when he was a little kid, and he had an accent.

970
01:12:17.760 --> 01:12:19.340
Jeezy: Ain't nobody heard a man talk.

971
01:12:19.340 --> 01:12:21.119
Chuck: Where did they raise that boy at?

972
01:12:21.690 --> 01:12:22.820
Jeezy: I mean, today.

973
01:12:23.310 --> 01:12:24.910
Jeezy: I thought he was from New York.

974
01:12:25.450 --> 01:12:26.880
Chuck: -

975
01:12:28.930 --> 01:12:29.520
Jeezy: My head pulled.

976
01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:33.739
Chuck: And he don't look like the Mother Trumps. He don't look like the Mother Trumps, I'm just saying.

977
01:12:34.520 --> 01:12:35.890
Jeezy: Who were the pool boy?

978
01:12:36.330 --> 01:12:37.819
Manny: Not the pool, boy.

979
01:12:37.820 --> 01:12:38.299
Jeezy: Who'd put it?

980
01:12:38.300 --> 01:12:39.550
Chuck: gardener.

981
01:12:39.550 --> 01:12:43.710
Jeezy: Who the doorman down there? Who's the doorman at Trump Tower? You gonna start checking.

982
01:12:45.630 --> 01:12:46.909
Chuck: Who was the milkman?

983
01:12:47.120 --> 01:12:53.140
Jeezy: Somebody. That boy don't look nothing. And Melania ain't a very tall female of herself, you know.

984
01:12:53.880 --> 01:12:54.630
Chuck: You don't gotta hide.

985
01:12:54.630 --> 01:12:55.160
Jeezy: Different.

986
01:12:55.440 --> 01:12:57.519
Chuck: You know who Barron looks like?

987
01:12:57.990 --> 01:13:01.309
Chuck: What's my… what's my man from Despicable Me?

988
01:13:01.310 --> 01:13:02.590
Jeezy: I was gonna say dirt.

989
01:13:03.490 --> 01:13:04.220
Chuck: Mmm.

990
01:13:04.220 --> 01:13:05.250
Manny: Y'all wild.

991
01:13:05.400 --> 01:13:05.940
Chuck: Hmm…

992
01:13:05.940 --> 01:13:08.810
Manny: You wild, Jesus. You wild.

993
01:13:11.380 --> 01:13:14.720
Jeezy: You like an old Dirk, Dallas Maverick legend, boy.

994
01:13:14.720 --> 01:13:16.839
Chuck: And Dirk, Dirk, like, his women, dark.

995
01:13:16.840 --> 01:13:18.450
Jeezy: Yes, sir. Lonnie, don'.

996
01:13:18.450 --> 01:13:18.800
Chuck: I'm late.

997
01:13:18.800 --> 01:13:19.360
Jeezy: Who?

998
01:13:19.360 --> 01:13:23.620
Chuck: She ain't dark. And she don't cook. And she don't… yeah, Dirk like to eat, you know?

999
01:13:25.480 --> 01:13:26.030
Chuck: Right.

1000
01:13:26.790 --> 01:13:29.160
Jeezy: We got off topic a little bit. I'm sorry.

1001
01:13:29.160 --> 01:13:30.150
Chuck: I'm sorry.

1002
01:13:32.060 --> 01:13:38.239
Jeezy: Well, we've reached that point in our episode, fellas, where it is time for the pickle of the week.

1003
01:13:38.240 --> 01:13:40.940
Audio shared by Jeezy: We got your pickle!

1004
01:13:41.720 --> 01:13:44.659
Audio shared by Jeezy: We got your pickle!

1005
01:13:45.480 --> 01:13:48.470
Audio shared by Jeezy: We got your pickle!

1006
01:13:52.480 --> 01:13:58.400
Jeezy: Alright, alright, alright. So, this week's pickle… Goes to a man…

1007
01:13:58.950 --> 01:14:02.170
Jeezy: Who was trying to level up politically.

1008
01:14:02.650 --> 01:14:05.800
Jeezy: But we know what happens. Anytime you try that.

1009
01:14:06.120 --> 01:14:06.690
Jeezy: You gotta

1010
01:14:10.080 --> 01:14:12.050
Jeezy: Gotta make sure them skeletons is tucked away.

1011
01:14:12.050 --> 01:14:14.140
Chuck: Sweep around mine.

1012
01:14:15.070 --> 01:14:17.359
Jeezy: But instead of leveling up politically.

1013
01:14:17.630 --> 01:14:22.179
Jeezy: Instead, he might be leveling up with his legal fees.

1014
01:14:23.190 --> 01:14:27.500
Jeezy: He might be in a pickle, brother. That is Congressman Eric Swalwell.

1015
01:14:28.030 --> 01:14:29.419
Jeezy: Now, this brother here.

1016
01:14:30.120 --> 01:14:31.530
Jeezy: He's in some hot water.

1017
01:14:31.690 --> 01:14:38.499
Jeezy: He's facing allegations of sexual misconduct that was just dropped at the worst possible time.

1018
01:14:39.030 --> 01:14:53.090
Jeezy: right as he's being floated as a potential candidate in California's upcoming governor race. So, according to reports, the accusation involves inappropriate behavior tied to a past interaction with a woman.

1019
01:14:53.470 --> 01:14:59.590
Jeezy: with claims that cross the line into misconduct. Now, the important note, as we will always say here.

1020
01:15:00.240 --> 01:15:03.410
Jeezy: These are allegations. Not proven facts.

1021
01:15:03.930 --> 01:15:10.610
Jeezy: But in politics, and we all know this far too well, timing is everything.

1022
01:15:11.190 --> 01:15:14.270
Jeezy: This timing… It's pretty brutal.

1023
01:15:14.420 --> 01:15:28.639
Jeezy: So, this isn't just random drama, but it does hit different, because he's positioned himself as a serious statewide candidate. California's race is already stacked with a few names like Katie, Porter, Xavier, Xavier, excuse me.

1024
01:15:28.860 --> 01:15:38.579
Jeezy: Bacaria, and there's, even, some other names that are floating around, but clearly, we know in the court of public opinion, something like this, whether true or not.

1025
01:15:39.150 --> 01:15:50.259
Jeezy: is damaging, to say the least. Now, he's pushed back, against these allegations, denying wrongdoing, and framing this as, either misleading or politically motivated, but let's be real.

1026
01:15:50.700 --> 01:15:58.550
Jeezy: Once a kind of story like this is out there, it doesn't just go away, it lingers. It trends, and it becomes part of your name.

1027
01:15:58.950 --> 01:16:03.520
Jeezy: So this is why… Mr. Eric… He's our pickle.

1028
01:16:03.710 --> 01:16:07.510
Jeezy: Because even if nothing is proven, if there is…

1029
01:16:07.720 --> 01:16:20.200
Jeezy: You know, no facts that come out in the court of public opinion, it moves faster than any real court will ever do. Voters are already starting to ask questions, and opponents are already sharpening their knives. So suddenly, you're not campaigning no more.

1030
01:16:20.580 --> 01:16:22.660
Jeezy: Manny, you're explaining.

1031
01:16:22.660 --> 01:16:25.719
Manny: You're explaining. You never want to be explaining.

1032
01:16:25.720 --> 01:16:32.679
Jeezy: you don't never want to be explaining, brother. You want to be campaigning. So, trying to run for governor while fighting off a scandal.

1033
01:16:33.660 --> 01:16:35.440
Jeezy: Bruh, that's like hosting a cookout.

1034
01:16:36.270 --> 01:16:39.390
Jeezy: And your grill, It's on fire, brother.

1035
01:16:41.150 --> 01:16:42.789
Chuck: That's terrible.

1036
01:16:42.790 --> 01:16:44.060
Manny: Yeah, but look, sometimes it happens…

1037
01:16:44.060 --> 01:16:45.270
Jeezy: I'm feeling to be in, bruh.

1038
01:16:45.860 --> 01:16:47.570
Jeezy: That's terrible.

1039
01:16:47.890 --> 01:16:48.530
Manny: Sometime.

1040
01:16:48.530 --> 01:16:48.860
Jeezy: That's real.

1041
01:16:48.860 --> 01:16:50.380
Manny: Flames just start jumping.

1042
01:16:50.730 --> 01:16:53.719
Jeezy: You can't do nothing about it, you just gotta let it burn out, bro.

1043
01:16:53.720 --> 01:16:55.620
Manny: That'll get some salt.

1044
01:16:55.780 --> 01:16:56.420
Manny: Throw it.

1045
01:16:56.420 --> 01:16:56.780
Jeezy: Okay, good.

1046
01:16:56.780 --> 01:16:58.070
Manny: Holes.

1047
01:16:59.160 --> 01:17:05.280
Jeezy: But yeah, and I'm gonna say this, you know, while, while again, Mr. Eric, these are allegations,

1048
01:17:05.830 --> 01:17:11.639
Jeezy: So we're not saying that these are facts, but there has been a video circulating around on social media of you, brother.

1049
01:17:11.930 --> 01:17:13.520
Jeezy: And I will tell you this.

1050
01:17:14.240 --> 01:17:18.679
Jeezy: When these politicians, Get behind these hotel doors.

1051
01:17:18.920 --> 01:17:22.549
Jeezy: And they let the, the, the first, the first top 4 buttons loose?

1052
01:17:23.130 --> 01:17:26.500
Jeezy: And, and, and start getting a little, little, little carried away?

1053
01:17:26.640 --> 01:17:28.149
Jeezy: They get a little nasty.

1054
01:17:28.450 --> 01:17:37.900
Jeezy: So, in the video we seen, brother, you definitely had some, fan activity. So, while you are the pickle, you will get the fan of the week, too.

1055
01:17:37.900 --> 01:17:39.869
Audio shared by Jeezy: He a fan, he a fan, he a fan.

1056
01:17:39.970 --> 01:17:42.159
Audio shared by Jeezy: He a fan, he a fan, here.

1057
01:17:43.490 --> 01:17:45.390
Chuck: Eric? Yeah.

1058
01:17:46.280 --> 01:17:52.200
Jeezy: Peace be the journey, brother. And I don't understand why y'all keep… Misconducting y'allself sexually.

1059
01:17:53.640 --> 01:17:55.259
Manny: Brooke, go home, look…

1060
01:17:55.260 --> 01:17:56.510
Chuck: Go home!

1061
01:17:56.510 --> 01:17:57.500
Jeezy: Just conduct yourself.

1062
01:17:57.940 --> 01:17:59.120
Manny: The grass!

1063
01:17:59.120 --> 01:17:59.730
Jeezy: Accordingly.

1064
01:18:00.020 --> 01:18:03.660
Manny: The grass might be greener on the other side.

1065
01:18:03.870 --> 01:18:04.629
Chuck: But it's die.

1066
01:18:04.710 --> 01:18:09.820
Manny: But your grass… your grass can be green, too, if you water it. Go home and be a family man.

1067
01:18:10.100 --> 01:18:22.960
Chuck: But they might have… see, see, here's my issue with that. My lawn may have crabgrass, and you got Bermuda. So yours gonna look better than mine. However, if you tend to your grass.

1068
01:18:22.960 --> 01:18:23.580
Jeezy: Mmm.

1069
01:18:24.180 --> 01:18:25.060
Chuck: Just tend to it.

1070
01:18:25.060 --> 01:18:26.110
Manny: Just turn to your grave.

1071
01:18:26.110 --> 01:18:26.870
Jeezy: All you gotta do, bro.

1072
01:18:26.870 --> 01:18:27.800
Chuck: geograph.

1073
01:18:28.080 --> 01:18:33.750
Jeezy: That's all you gotta do. I'm gonna call you Brother Eric, but no, that's… we got… I already got a Brother Eric.

1074
01:18:33.750 --> 01:18:34.190
Chuck: Yes.

1075
01:18:35.840 --> 01:18:38.340
Jeezy: I got… we got our hands full with him enough.

1076
01:18:38.340 --> 01:18:40.439
Manny: So, Mr.

1077
01:18:40.440 --> 01:18:45.110
Jeezy: just conduct yourself. And for all you other politicians out there, because

1078
01:18:45.210 --> 01:18:49.320
Jeezy: We keep hearing all these stories all about this sexual misconduct that y'all be doing.

1079
01:18:49.320 --> 01:18:51.640
Chuck: It's running rampant. It's running rampant.

1080
01:18:51.640 --> 01:18:53.729
Manny: Y'all got a cold winter in your future.

1081
01:18:53.790 --> 01:18:58.980
Jeezy: Y'all hosting parties sponsored by fan activity sites, and…

1082
01:18:59.320 --> 01:19:00.210
Chuck: Yep.

1083
01:19:00.260 --> 01:19:05.380
Jeezy: Y'all get together in certain areas, and traffic on certain sites get a little heavy.

1084
01:19:05.380 --> 01:19:16.300
Chuck: Now, I don't know the validity to this, but I saw somebody oppose that Grindr is gonna be hosting…

1085
01:19:16.980 --> 01:19:20.910
Chuck: Listen, and I wanna say it was like a party or something.

1086
01:19:21.180 --> 01:19:25.099
Chuck: Coming up for America 250, I think that UFC…

1087
01:19:25.370 --> 01:19:32.670
Chuck: But yeah, like Jeezy said, man, y'all gotta stop. I mean, we know this stuff has been going on for forever.

1088
01:19:32.880 --> 01:19:36.429
Chuck: But it's starting to get pulled to the light more frequently.

1089
01:19:36.740 --> 01:19:38.130
Jeezy: And it's too much, bruh.

1090
01:19:38.610 --> 01:19:45.080
Jeezy: One time is too much, but bruh, y'all gotta stop. Conduct yourself, as my grandma would say, conduct yourself accordingly.

1091
01:19:45.410 --> 01:19:46.010
Manny: Yep.

1092
01:19:46.310 --> 01:19:49.020
Jeezy: That's all you gotta do. Add like you got some sense.

1093
01:19:50.390 --> 01:19:50.940
Chuck: That's it.

1094
01:19:51.280 --> 01:19:51.830
Jeezy: That's awesome.

1095
01:19:51.830 --> 01:19:53.210
Chuck: Good ol' home trainer.

1096
01:19:53.560 --> 01:19:55.910
Jeezy: Some… my house, some black.

1097
01:19:56.900 --> 01:19:58.070
Chuck: But, brother.

1098
01:19:58.070 --> 01:20:11.569
Jeezy: Brothers, we're at the end of our episode. And at the end of our episode, to our listeners, you know, we always, like to give you our spotlight of the week, so, to my brothers, what are your spotlights for the week? I'm gonna start, with you, Chuck.

1099
01:20:12.950 --> 01:20:14.750
Chuck: Where's Waldo?

1100
01:20:14.930 --> 01:20:15.600
Jeezy: -Oh.

1101
01:20:15.750 --> 01:20:17.070
Chuck: Okay, maybe not Waldo.

1102
01:20:18.460 --> 01:20:21.030
Chuck: But where is Satoshi Nakamoto?

1103
01:20:21.220 --> 01:20:21.790
Jeezy: -Oh.

1104
01:20:23.130 --> 01:20:28.040
Chuck: Well, if we can't find them, first off, we need to know who is Satoshi Nakamoto.

1105
01:20:28.400 --> 01:20:34.720
Chuck: And for those who don't know that name, that is the… Creator.

1106
01:20:34.890 --> 01:20:41.850
Chuck: of Bitcoin. The mysterious… The unknown, the mythical.

1107
01:20:42.920 --> 01:21:01.430
Chuck: creator of Bitcoin. And this week, my spotlight goes to Satashi Nakamoto, because there is a New York Times reporter named John Kararoo, who is the latest individual to step forward and say that they have solved

1108
01:21:01.560 --> 01:21:05.350
Chuck: The great mystery of who is Satashi Nakamoto.

1109
01:21:06.090 --> 01:21:16.289
Chuck: And the person that he has said he believes is Satoshi Nagamoto is none other than… Adam back.

1110
01:21:16.810 --> 01:21:17.789
Chuck: And you say, who is A?

1111
01:21:17.790 --> 01:21:18.810
Manny: Really?

1112
01:21:19.020 --> 01:21:19.640
Chuck: Yeah.

1113
01:21:20.260 --> 01:21:21.800
Manny: Interesting. Okay.

1114
01:21:22.050 --> 01:21:24.990
Chuck: Of course Minnie knows who it is.

1115
01:21:25.390 --> 01:21:43.049
Chuck: So, Adam Back is a 55-year-old British cryptographer and CEO of Blockstream, and he is the inventor of HashCash, a proof-of-work system cited by Satoshi in the original Bitcoin whitepaper.

1116
01:21:43.170 --> 01:21:48.970
Chuck: he had… he was one of the first people that Satashi emailed… ever emailed.

1117
01:21:49.330 --> 01:21:55.419
Chuck: So here's some of the evidence that is presented, on behalf of

1118
01:21:55.580 --> 01:22:12.500
Chuck: the, John's, argument of believing this is who Satashi Nakamoto is, to the point that he said that he's somewhere between 99.5% to 100% certain that he solved this mystery.

1119
01:22:12.500 --> 01:22:14.979
Manny: So it might be him, or it is definitely him.

1120
01:22:14.980 --> 01:22:15.865
Chuck: Yes.

1121
01:22:16.780 --> 01:22:35.809
Chuck: So he's built his argument on stylometry, I guess is how you say it, which is linguistic analysis and circumstantial timelines rather than cryptographic proof, where many people have used this to try to, quote-unquote, out

1122
01:22:36.040 --> 01:22:55.809
Chuck: whoever they believed was the mysterious Satashi Nagamoto. So, linguistic matches. The investigation analyzed over 134,000 posts from Cypherpunk mailing lists. Three separate writing analysis identified back as the closest match to Satoshi.

1123
01:22:56.310 --> 01:22:57.120
Chuck: Burton.

1124
01:22:57.260 --> 01:23:02.219
Chuck: Excuse me. Furthermore, there are hyphenation errors, so back…

1125
01:23:02.480 --> 01:23:13.769
Chuck: reportedly shared 67 of 325 distinct hyphenation errors found in Satoshi's writing, nearly double any other suspect.

1126
01:23:13.970 --> 01:23:30.939
Chuck: there's obscure phrasing, and then one of the strong points that he used in coincidental timelines is there's a silent period. So between 2008 and 2011, when Satoshi was active.

1127
01:23:31.330 --> 01:23:38.199
Chuck: Back was uncharacteristically quiet on the forums he usually frequented.

1128
01:23:38.380 --> 01:23:43.260
Chuck: As soon as Satashi vanished in 2011, Back became active again.

1129
01:23:44.130 --> 01:23:51.340
Chuck: Also, British context. The use of British English, distinctly different from American English.

1130
01:23:51.340 --> 01:23:52.210
Manny: Yep.

1131
01:23:53.250 --> 01:24:01.679
Chuck: with words like maths, flat, and gray, which they spell their gray with an E, we spell out gray with an A.

1132
01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:02.340
Manny: way.

1133
01:24:03.030 --> 01:24:11.620
Chuck: And the inclusion of a Time of London headline in the first Bitcoin block aligned with Back's nationality.

1134
01:24:11.780 --> 01:24:28.520
Chuck: So now there are some rebuttals, and Back has vehemently denied the claims, stating that he is not Satashi Nagamoto. And so he goes to say, some of this is just coincidental, you know, the shared environment of the cypherpunk community.

1135
01:24:28.520 --> 01:24:38.980
Chuck: And there's a lot of intellectual culture that's shared, during that period. Like Gigi said earlier, birds of a feather, not just flock together, but speak the same sometimes.

1136
01:24:39.750 --> 01:24:52.459
Chuck: There's a statistical bias, because he said he was so active on mailing lists, any linguistic tool is bound to find matches, simply due to the sheer volume of his text.

1137
01:24:52.690 --> 01:25:00.150
Chuck: That is true. However, the percentage of matches It's very interesting,

1138
01:25:00.390 --> 01:25:05.460
Chuck: a very interesting, notion. So, the reason I bring this up, because…

1139
01:25:05.680 --> 01:25:15.820
Chuck: this has been a big to-do over the years of people trying to figure out who the creator of Bitcoin is. And the wallet that…

1140
01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:24.679
Chuck: Satoshi Nagamoto has, or… yeah, has, is, unclaimed.

1141
01:25:24.820 --> 01:25:29.770
Chuck: And sits at an estimated worth of $78 billion.

1142
01:25:30.120 --> 01:25:30.480
Jeezy: Wow.

1143
01:25:30.480 --> 01:25:31.030
Chuck: So…

1144
01:25:31.030 --> 01:25:31.400
Manny: Yeah.

1145
01:25:31.400 --> 01:25:39.130
Chuck: outing who… is the true Satoshi Nagamoto could be very dangerous to that individual's life.

1146
01:25:39.310 --> 01:25:42.750
Chuck: Because, these private keys to this wallet.

1147
01:25:43.020 --> 01:25:54.900
Chuck: And people want to get their hands on it, and so yeah. I brought it as a spotlight because Bitcoin, although down right now, as we said this in prepaid, it's still a big bag.

1148
01:25:54.900 --> 01:25:56.100
Manny: It's still up.

1149
01:25:56.250 --> 01:26:02.719
Chuck: For anybody… anybody who, you know, who has a substantial amount

1150
01:26:02.960 --> 01:26:09.100
Chuck: In this, and this is the big… whodunit, like Clue.

1151
01:26:09.260 --> 01:26:12.909
Chuck: Was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench?

1152
01:26:14.060 --> 01:26:20.939
Chuck: Professor Plum in… in the kitchen with the pipe.

1153
01:26:20.940 --> 01:26:21.580
Jeezy: Bruh.

1154
01:26:22.030 --> 01:26:30.730
Chuck: So, yeah, that's my spotlight. I found that very interesting, and the argument of the evidence was very interesting. Very interesting.

1155
01:26:31.760 --> 01:26:33.320
Jeezy: Brother Manny, what you got?

1156
01:26:33.730 --> 01:26:47.740
Manny: Man, so, we're still in the middle of primary season, and things are still being solved and figured out, and we told y'all we were gonna come back to this state, and now we are. Welcome back to Wisconsin.

1157
01:26:47.910 --> 01:26:49.900
Chuck: We're scansing.

1158
01:26:49.900 --> 01:27:00.700
Manny: Specifically, the Wisconsin Supreme Court. So if you guys remember in this race, Elon Musk parachuted down, dropped, like, 50 million plus.

1159
01:27:00.700 --> 01:27:01.780
Chuck: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1160
01:27:01.780 --> 01:27:06.420
Manny: in that Supreme Court race, and took an L. Lost by 10 points.

1161
01:27:06.680 --> 01:27:09.939
Chuck: That's not an L. That's a beatdown in politics.

1162
01:27:09.940 --> 01:27:19.170
Manny: Well, I say it like that because, that same Supreme Court had another election, earlier this past week.

1163
01:27:19.490 --> 01:27:23.730
Manny: And that… That was, in fact, a beatdown.

1164
01:27:23.730 --> 01:27:24.120
Jeezy: -Oh.

1165
01:27:24.120 --> 01:27:35.040
Manny: where, I want to make sure I'm saying… Chris Taylor up… upset, Maria Lazar, by 20 points.

1166
01:27:35.430 --> 01:27:36.550
Chuck: Yikes!

1167
01:27:37.440 --> 01:27:55.669
Manny: Yeah, so what does this ultimately mean? This ultimately means that the, the Supreme Court for Wisconsin as a state is now going to be a liberal court for the foreseeable future. And I believe the next seats that they have coming up

1168
01:27:55.690 --> 01:28:05.480
Manny: are, conservative seats. So the Republicans or the Conservatives will have to fight to keep the remaining two seats that they have.

1169
01:28:05.760 --> 01:28:11.389
Manny: And this wasn't close. Taylor was able to run up

1170
01:28:11.550 --> 01:28:20.160
Manny: voter… voter turn… Voter turnout in kind of two… two, counties, very specifically, Dane and Milwaukee.

1171
01:28:20.240 --> 01:28:32.929
Manny: And Dane Taylor won it by 67%, and Milwaukee by 50, plus 51. So, won those two counties very convincingly.

1172
01:28:32.930 --> 01:28:34.220
Chuck: wash. Yeah.

1173
01:28:34.500 --> 01:28:41.620
Manny: Now, if you think about this, you roll back to the, the presidential elections, Donald Trump won Wisconsin.

1174
01:28:41.950 --> 01:28:47.210
Manny: But barely. It was 49.7% to 48.8.

1175
01:28:47.610 --> 01:28:50.170
Manny: So, barely won that.

1176
01:28:52.760 --> 01:29:03.309
Manny: So, Wisconsin's gonna be interesting to watch it kind of play out over the next several months, several years, as we head not only into midterms, but into 2028.

1177
01:29:03.460 --> 01:29:16.460
Manny: Is it still a red state? Will Republicans treat it like a red state? Will Democrats treat it like a red state? So, I think there's obviously those implications, and again, what we've talked to the…

1178
01:29:16.730 --> 01:29:20.620
Manny: I won't say blue wave, but the blue activity.

1179
01:29:21.000 --> 01:29:22.509
Chuck: Yes, blue activity.

1180
01:29:22.510 --> 01:29:31.429
Manny: Blue activity. You know, is this something that we're going to see play out across the country, or not?

1181
01:29:31.500 --> 01:29:47.379
Manny: Because, again, it's another race now, we see that money does not matter, that people are willing to get involved. Now, total turnout for this race is probably about half of what it was in 2024, so far less turnout.

1182
01:29:47.540 --> 01:29:48.570
Manny: But…

1183
01:29:49.010 --> 01:29:58.649
Manny: they got some battles coming up, so it'll be interesting to see how it plays out, and ultimately, what the new court will do. Taylor takes her seat, I believe, August 1st.

1184
01:29:58.800 --> 01:30:00.110
Manny: And…

1185
01:30:00.190 --> 01:30:09.680
Manny: what does a now-liberal court end up doing? One of the big things we saw come out of Wisconsin was the redistricting.

1186
01:30:09.750 --> 01:30:28.010
Manny: lawsuits around race and black people being disenfranchised out there. So, this'll be interesting to kind of see how it plays out, not only see how conservatives respond in the state, but what does this mean for ultimate down… down-ballot races? And then also…

1187
01:30:28.360 --> 01:30:39.080
Manny: for both parties, how much of this do you look at and then go to your state and say, well, these apply for this reason, and these apply for other reasons? So…

1188
01:30:39.240 --> 01:30:41.740
Manny: It's… it's going to be very close.

1189
01:30:41.970 --> 01:30:51.099
Manny: But to watch it go from a 4-3 conservative court to a 5-2 liberal court in 2 years…

1190
01:30:51.420 --> 01:30:56.160
Manny: Is… is substantial, and we'll… we'll watch and see how this plays out.

1191
01:30:56.680 --> 01:30:58.409
Manny: And that is my spotlight.

1192
01:30:58.870 --> 01:31:00.820
Chuck: That must be… that's it.

1193
01:31:00.820 --> 01:31:01.140
Jeezy: Dude.

1194
01:31:01.440 --> 01:31:02.890
Chuck: Major. That's major.

1195
01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:08.300
Jeezy: If there's any indication for the Democrats, Don't fumble the bag.

1196
01:31:08.420 --> 01:31:10.270
Manny: Bruh, they gonna fumble the bag.

1197
01:31:10.270 --> 01:31:12.119
Jeezy: I know we talked about it, bro. I know.

1198
01:31:12.340 --> 01:31:14.350
Manny: I ain't gonna fumble this bag.

1199
01:31:14.350 --> 01:31:14.830
Jeezy: But how about…

1200
01:31:14.830 --> 01:31:16.939
Chuck: Your confidence is not there.

1201
01:31:16.940 --> 01:31:20.000
Jeezy: I mean, how many alley-oops are you gonna miss? I mean…

1202
01:31:20.000 --> 01:31:26.929
Manny: Who is it? Patrick Ewing as a coach. What is that shot? Do you practice this shot?

1203
01:31:26.930 --> 01:31:29.450
Jeezy: Is that shot? When. When?

1204
01:31:31.190 --> 01:31:35.519
Jeezy: Right. To take a shot at your coach, call a timeout, and question why you did that.

1205
01:31:35.520 --> 01:31:37.959
Chuck: Wow. Play a confident.

1206
01:31:37.960 --> 01:31:39.389
Jeezy: is, is, is…

1207
01:31:39.390 --> 01:31:40.690
Chuck: Shot. Let's go.

1208
01:31:40.690 --> 01:31:41.590
Manny: Gone.

1209
01:31:42.920 --> 01:31:45.169
Jeezy: For my spotlight, I'll wrap it up.

1210
01:31:45.530 --> 01:31:50.629
Jeezy: I have a confession to make. And, to my…

1211
01:31:51.510 --> 01:31:52.500
Manny: Oh, man.

1212
01:31:52.500 --> 01:31:53.340
Jeezy: Boys.

1213
01:31:53.700 --> 01:31:59.779
Jeezy: They know that I have been very adamant as the podcast is,

1214
01:32:00.230 --> 01:32:05.560
Jeezy: residential moon landing conspiracy theories, where I do not believe

1215
01:32:06.030 --> 01:32:15.510
Jeezy: That we landed on the moon. And I want to tell you guys that what fuels that is the little kid in me

1216
01:32:15.610 --> 01:32:30.590
Jeezy: that as a little kid, I really was a big science nerd. Like, things like that just really, really got me as a kid. So when I… as they say, when you're a child, you speak as a child, but when you become a man, you put away childish things.

1217
01:32:30.590 --> 01:32:33.369
Chuck: Could've with them childish things. Hallelujah.

1218
01:32:33.370 --> 01:32:44.189
Jeezy: I did my own research, which led me to the conclusion of doubting that it happened, that the moon landing happened, but it turned… the little kid in me, it hurt my feelings, man, to find out.

1219
01:32:44.190 --> 01:32:47.340
Chuck: There may be some truth that it never happened.

1220
01:32:47.650 --> 01:33:04.460
Jeezy: So, fast forward to the age that I am now of 38, and I have been following, this moon landing, Artemis, pretty closely, stemming all the way back to when we went to Houston to the National Space Station, and we saw the details of them talking about it, forecoming.

1221
01:33:04.680 --> 01:33:07.419
Jeezy: Which even ramped up me more of my…

1222
01:33:07.420 --> 01:33:08.990
Manny: Boy, you were.

1223
01:33:08.990 --> 01:33:09.720
Jeezy: Tier 4 hand.

1224
01:33:09.720 --> 01:33:11.620
Chuck: Listen, listen, listen.

1225
01:33:11.620 --> 01:33:15.429
Jeezy: I walked through that museum, like, lie, lie, lie.

1226
01:33:16.470 --> 01:33:20.090
Chuck: He had his doubts before. After we walked through the space.

1227
01:33:20.090 --> 01:33:20.740
Jeezy: Right.

1228
01:33:21.030 --> 01:33:22.669
Chuck: He was on $100,000.

1229
01:33:22.670 --> 01:33:28.039
Jeezy: Absolutely not. I was… that trip to that station convinced me further. I was like, yeah, ain't no way.

1230
01:33:28.230 --> 01:33:35.119
Jeezy: So, I've been following Artemis II very heavy, and as we all know,

1231
01:33:35.230 --> 01:33:46.550
Jeezy: the astronauts return safely. And I follow this thing to a T, even down to watching, you know, details, and I'm gonna admit to it, I'm one of those people, I don't… I have a very crazy sleep pattern, so…

1232
01:33:46.550 --> 01:34:03.430
Jeezy: I had made sure that I set my notifications for NASA, so every time they said something, I got it. I was looking at all the details and what was going on during the day. Like, I really was invested in it. And plus, my daughter was really… my 5-year-old was really invested, too. So it kind of was like little kid me and little kid her together watching.

1233
01:34:03.430 --> 01:34:04.410
Chuck: Oh, yeah.

1234
01:34:04.580 --> 01:34:22.710
Jeezy: So then, you know, the day came of them coming back, and I was like, oh yeah, today's the day, because I'm like, you know, I really want to see this happen, and the details that NASA was able to provide, and they safely returned, was just an experience that I'm glad that I saw firsthand. Of course, when we went the first time, I wasn't even thought of.

1235
01:34:22.910 --> 01:34:29.620
Jeezy: But… to witness this, and I want to give a shout-out to not only just NASA,

1236
01:34:29.910 --> 01:34:44.829
Jeezy: But the… I don't know what they call the European Space Station. They're NASA, version of NASA, I can't remember what it is, but what the Europeans were able to assist with Orion, and what Canada was able to put in, and really to see…

1237
01:34:44.930 --> 01:34:50.910
Jeezy: the level of work that went into this. And… for it to be flawless, like…

1238
01:34:50.910 --> 01:34:54.070
Manny: Bye. To the time that it splashed down.

1239
01:34:54.450 --> 01:35:14.039
Jeezy: completely flawless. Even to look at just how the trajectory and the path that they had to take to get to fly past the moon and around the backside of it, while the moon is still in motion, was just like… it was wild. So, just to have to be able to have the opportunity to break that down with my daughter.

1240
01:35:14.450 --> 01:35:33.039
Jeezy: and to witness it firsthand, that I can now say that I did indeed see this happen, and I believe that this happened, and to see the splashdown, and the mission has been accomplished with no hiccups, the heat shield held its integrity, all… I mean, the imaging that they had.

1241
01:35:33.180 --> 01:35:37.459
Jeezy: it was pretty dope, man, and I'm looking forward to, you know that…

1242
01:35:37.570 --> 01:35:46.269
Jeezy: If it does happen, Artemis 3, which I believe will happen in 2028, will be our first time actually landing… well, I'mma say, our first time.

1243
01:35:46.920 --> 01:35:48.050
Manny: Actually…

1244
01:35:48.050 --> 01:35:53.450
Jeezy: Hold on, I gotta… I can't lead the episode without one.

1245
01:35:53.450 --> 01:36:01.990
Manny: Well, it won't be Epis… it won't be Artemis III, so something came out from the space agency that they're injecting another mission that will be

1246
01:36:02.380 --> 01:36:07.570
Manny: Artemis 3, where they're trying to test some other things before they try landing.

1247
01:36:07.570 --> 01:36:07.920
Jeezy: God.

1248
01:36:07.920 --> 01:36:09.939
Manny: Artemis IV on the moon.

1249
01:36:10.320 --> 01:36:25.070
Jeezy: Okay, got you, okay. I know they've been trying to change some things up and move it around, but man, I'm… Lord willing, I will be alive to see that moment happen, and then I can say that it indeed,

1250
01:36:25.070 --> 01:36:33.039
Jeezy: happen for the first time, but I will say this, and I am still convinced that we did not do it in the 60s, because the amount of technology, bruh…

1251
01:36:33.750 --> 01:36:39.720
Jeezy: That it took to get this thing to happen with the perfection that it happened in.

1252
01:36:40.240 --> 01:36:46.309
Jeezy: I mean, I don't see how in the world you did that with landline phones and floor model colorless TVs.

1253
01:36:46.630 --> 01:36:49.409
Jeezy: Just know, bruh. I really don't.

1254
01:36:49.410 --> 01:36:50.270
Chuck: Oh, big.

1255
01:36:50.270 --> 01:36:52.619
Jeezy: Shout out to the astronauts,

1256
01:36:53.370 --> 01:36:57.040
Jeezy: To… especially the homie Victor. I mean, he just…

1257
01:36:57.040 --> 01:36:58.630
Manny: Even though he's a Sigma.

1258
01:36:59.200 --> 01:37:01.930
Chuck: Yeah… Let's see.

1259
01:37:02.410 --> 01:37:03.020
Jeezy: Manhattan.

1260
01:37:03.020 --> 01:37:06.329
Manny: I saw you a little too happy about it, and I was like,

1261
01:37:06.660 --> 01:37:19.260
Jeezy: Well, the victor, he was, man, just absolutely job well done, and I think he's been rumored that when they actually do land on the moon, he will actually be the lead man on that mission.

1262
01:37:19.470 --> 01:37:30.920
Jeezy: So that'll be pretty dope. I think Rich Wiseman was the leader of this one. But by the time, you know, that they actually attempt to land, Victor will be the leading man, at least that's what…

1263
01:37:31.020 --> 01:37:36.679
Jeezy: There's… there… there's, the, the belief that it will be. So, shout out to the crew.

1264
01:37:37.190 --> 01:37:43.770
Jeezy: to coming back safely, to the job well done, to, our Navy.

1265
01:37:43.770 --> 01:38:01.719
Jeezy: getting them here, you know, getting them out the water, just the whole everything, man. Those that worked on it, and any inspiration to those, kids. I know there were a lot of children that were looking, any inspiration to be able to go to space. Hey, man, shoot for the stars, because anything is possible.

1266
01:38:01.720 --> 01:38:17.539
Manny: And the one thing I think that was, like, really great about Artemis and this whole piece is that this was really just focused on the science and the objectives. Whereas when you have SpaceX and Blue Origin and Lockheed…

1267
01:38:17.540 --> 01:38:18.360
Chuck: Yeah.

1268
01:38:18.720 --> 01:38:25.219
Manny: We, as a people, we can't get behind A… a company like this.

1269
01:38:25.220 --> 01:38:27.370
Chuck: a private entity, yep.

1270
01:38:27.370 --> 01:38:33.309
Manny: Because in the back of our heads, we know it is a money… money expenditure.

1271
01:38:33.770 --> 01:38:34.650
Manny: Yep.

1272
01:38:34.650 --> 01:38:35.530
Chuck: pack, man.

1273
01:38:35.530 --> 01:38:41.320
Manny: So I think that's the first point, and I think the second point on this, do you realize how much money we spend on NASA?

1274
01:38:41.450 --> 01:38:41.990
Manny: It's…

1275
01:38:41.990 --> 01:38:42.460
Jeezy: Oh, bro.

1276
01:38:42.960 --> 01:38:43.899
Chuck: We don't spend enough.

1277
01:38:43.930 --> 01:38:44.540
Manny: We spend

1278
01:38:44.880 --> 01:38:58.889
Manny: 40%. 40% of 8%, so .4% of every tax dollar is going to NASA. And for the people to be out there and say, oh, we need to cut funding to NASA, if anything, we need to expand it.

1279
01:38:58.890 --> 01:38:59.810
Chuck: The space…

1280
01:38:59.810 --> 01:39:05.470
Manny: This program is just… is very… I won't say loud, but it's very big.

1281
01:39:05.470 --> 01:39:05.850
Chuck: Beautiful.

1282
01:39:05.850 --> 01:39:13.230
Manny: they are very big. But it is not costing nearly as much as… I don't know…

1283
01:39:13.470 --> 01:39:18.400
Manny: conflict in Iran. But we need to fund our space program, man.

1284
01:39:18.400 --> 01:39:29.469
Jeezy: We do, bro. And even to that point you make, that for the amount of funding that they… the lack of funding they don't have to do what they have done is even more of a feat.

1285
01:39:29.990 --> 01:39:41.010
Jeezy: Because, I mean, job well done, man. Job well done. It was inspiring to me, and, you know, I can only imagine being out there in space and seeing that site.

1286
01:39:41.260 --> 01:39:46.909
Jeezy: how just life-changing that could be, and Victor came and on his.

1287
01:39:46.910 --> 01:39:47.389
Manny: the jury.

1288
01:39:47.390 --> 01:39:52.170
Jeezy: spoke about how, you know, that meant, especially him being a believer and a Christian.

1289
01:39:52.170 --> 01:39:52.610
Manny: Yeah.

1290
01:39:52.610 --> 01:39:59.900
Jeezy: how much it meant to him, so… it was dope, man. It was dope for me to see that with my daughter, and y'all know how Logan is.

1291
01:40:00.520 --> 01:40:01.470
Jeezy: Wind date?

1292
01:40:01.870 --> 01:40:06.149
Jeezy: I'll tell you this to conclude, because you know how Logan Sage just… whatever.

1293
01:40:06.370 --> 01:40:13.370
Jeezy: But when I was telling her, like, that when they come back in, there's gonna be a period of blackout where they're not gonna be able to communicate.

1294
01:40:13.590 --> 01:40:14.660
Jeezy: With the astronauts.

1295
01:40:14.840 --> 01:40:15.919
Manny: Bro, what's she…

1296
01:40:16.650 --> 01:40:17.939
Jeezy: So when it cut out.

1297
01:40:18.620 --> 01:40:22.860
Jeezy: Logan looks at the TV, and she says, Oh my god, Dad, they're gonna die.

1298
01:40:22.860 --> 01:40:30.219
Manny: I'm the escalation to death. This is the only way this place fell.

1299
01:40:30.480 --> 01:40:35.499
Jeezy: Logan, no. I said, no, it's a play in blackout pier. She said, no, it's not. No, it's not.

1300
01:40:36.410 --> 01:40:39.590
Manny: That's your child.

1301
01:40:39.590 --> 01:40:40.480
Jeezy: Leave it to Logan, bro.

1302
01:40:40.980 --> 01:41:05.960
Jeezy: Leave it to Logan, that's what I'm gonna call it. That's my life segment, my ever-ending life segment, leave it to Logan. But, yeah, shout out to the team, NASA, all those that are involved, the astronauts, and I'm sure as the weeks go on, we're gonna have interviews and all these, you know, amazing pictures that we'll be able to see that we have not had access to in the years prior. So, exciting moments, so I'm looking forward to that. So, that's my spotlight, man.

1303
