J. Edgar Boozer and the Ballroom

We were 30 minutes from recording when the text came in: "they shootin'." Saturday night, someone took a shotgun to the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. One Secret Service officer down — saved by his vest. The suspect is in custody. And within hours, Trump pivoted the entire news cycle to a $400 million White House ballroom. This week also: Virginia voters approved a mid-decade redistricting referendum 50.7–49.3%. A Tazewell County judge blocked it 24 hours later. Virginia Supreme Court hears arguments on the day this drops. Kash Patel filed a $250M defamation suit against The Atlantic, then his own 2005 Bar letter showing two alcohol-related arrests surfaced the next day. RFK Jr. survived seven congressional hearings in seven days defending a budget that cuts his own agency. And the NCGA opened its short session. NC is the only state in America without a budget, 942 days running. No scripts. No spin. All receipts.

00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:09.469
Jeezy: Hello, world. Welcome to Pardon the Politics Podcast Season 3, Episode 17. I'm your co-host, Jeezy. I have my brother Manny with me. Manny.

22
00:01:09.470 --> 00:01:10.430
Manny: Ayy, ay.

23
00:01:10.430 --> 00:01:12.290
Jeezy: I got my brother Chuck with me, Chuck.

24
00:01:12.290 --> 00:01:14.510
Chuck: Really?

25
00:01:14.510 --> 00:01:19.859
Jeezy: Hey, we are back, we are back, we are back for another episode to our listeners.

00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:24.470
Jeezy: Welcome, welcome, welcome. We welcome you once, we welcome you twice.

27
00:01:24.990 --> 00:01:25.740
Jeezy: Welcome, you three.

00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:29.980
Chuck: Three times, in the name of Jesus Christ.

29
00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:40.919
Jeezy: Welcome to the chaos that we love to call politics. So, hopefully this episode 17 finds you in good spirit. Gentlemen, how we feeling today? Everybody good?

30
00:01:41.150 --> 00:01:46.249
Chuck: Man, let me tell you, it feels good to be back in the house of the Lord one more time.

31
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.440
Chuck: Be in the presence of my good brothers.

32
00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:49.910
Jeezy: Indeed, indeed.

33
00:01:49.910 --> 00:01:54.509
Chuck: Providing this, commentary on this foolishness.

34
00:01:54.510 --> 00:01:58.390
Manny: Look, I wasn't sure if you were gonna say comedy or commentary.

35
00:01:58.390 --> 00:01:59.009
Jeezy: A little bit of both.

36
00:01:59.010 --> 00:01:59.380
Manny: would apply.

37
00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:01.949
Chuck: One and the same. Open.

38
00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:04.230
Jeezy: O-F-F-U-M. Oh, folks.

39
00:02:04.230 --> 00:02:04.630
Chuck: Phew.

40
00:02:04.630 --> 00:02:05.520
Manny: Both?

41
00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:16.019
Jeezy: Well, man, I'm glad your brother's doing good. I'm happy to be back with you and join you for another episode, so we'll dive right into our first topic, and boy…

42
00:02:16.430 --> 00:02:19.180
Jeezy: We… Wasn't a…

43
00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:19.509
Manny: It's our fa.

44
00:02:19.510 --> 00:02:20.230
Jeezy: Oh, no, man.

45
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:22.820
Chuck: They shootin'. How made you look.

46
00:02:22.820 --> 00:02:23.890
Manny: Look.

47
00:02:23.890 --> 00:02:31.980
Jeezy: Man, so, for our first segment, here on the podcast, we gotta go to the White House Correspondents' Dinner, man.

48
00:02:32.530 --> 00:02:33.170
Jeezy: And…

49
00:02:33.170 --> 00:02:36.249
Chuck: Listen, we had no hopes of talking about this either.

50
00:02:36.250 --> 00:02:37.460
Jeezy: Before last night.

51
00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:48.239
Manny: We had literally, for our listeners, we had literally, I would say within 30 minutes, just, like, locked down everything that we were doing. We had all started going through our prep.

52
00:02:48.660 --> 00:02:51.089
Manny: And then, the breaking news.

53
00:02:52.520 --> 00:03:09.559
Jeezy: For our listeners, Saturday night, was the White House Correspondents' Dinner that took place in Washington, D.C, and there were roughly about, 2,600 people in attendance, and, in that 2,600 people, was the president, Donna T.

54
00:03:09.830 --> 00:03:28.719
Jeezy: Cabinet members, top journalists, celebrities, so, pretty, pretty packed-out house with, some notable names. But, suddenly, around about 8.35 PM, shots nearby, security checkpoint happened. And it's funny because, as Mandy stated, we were…

55
00:03:29.090 --> 00:03:34.610
Jeezy: rounding up everything we were going to talk about, and Manny just put in the group, they shootin'.

56
00:03:35.470 --> 00:03:35.990
Chuck: Literally.

57
00:03:35.990 --> 00:03:36.400
Manny: Right.

58
00:03:36.690 --> 00:03:39.400
Chuck: Literally. I'm like, I'm thinking…

59
00:03:40.440 --> 00:03:46.389
Jeezy: I know the NBA playoffs is on, so I'm like, okay, like, did somebody get high and go on a streak?

60
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:54.000
Jeezy: I'm like, who is shooting? And I'm out, like, taking care of some things, and Manny's like, oh, no, they're shooting at the correspondent, and I'm like.

61
00:03:55.910 --> 00:04:07.620
Manny: And again, for our listeners, to explain what life is like having me as a friend, I'm gonna send you a text with no context. None. None.

62
00:04:07.620 --> 00:04:17.220
Chuck: Manny texts in thought, in word, like, how it comes to his head is how he sends it out. You're like, what?

63
00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:19.379
Jeezy: part is that you gotta, you gotta wait for the full.

64
00:04:19.380 --> 00:04:22.390
Chuck: Because you don't know which way to go.

65
00:04:22.390 --> 00:04:38.469
Jeezy: You're like, I don't know, do we need to get everybody on the call? Like, do we need to stop everything? Is everything good? But the absolute worst. But Manny says this takes… and I'm… so I, you know, obviously turn on the TV, and, you know, there has been a shooting, and that's…

66
00:04:38.590 --> 00:04:43.429
Jeezy: armed suspect approached with, I believe he had multiple weapons, if I'm not mistaken.

67
00:04:43.640 --> 00:05:03.040
Jeezy: Shotgun, handgun, knives, I believe it was. So, you know, this event went from tuxedos, and typically there's jokes, to… it went to chaos within seconds. So the suspect attempted to breach towards the main event area, but, Secret Service intercepted him before entry.

68
00:05:03.420 --> 00:05:09.220
Jeezy: It's… I believe they said that there was at least one agent that was hit, but he was saved by a vest.

69
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.259
Jeezy: And President Trump was evacuated immediately.

70
00:05:12.490 --> 00:05:14.000
Jeezy: And I gotta stop this.

71
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:14.599
Chuck: I got you.

72
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:15.169
Jeezy: Stop at that point.

73
00:05:15.590 --> 00:05:18.100
Chuck: Immediately subjective.

74
00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:19.590
Jeezy: Immediately with an asterisk.

75
00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:23.109
Manny: They got him out of there.

76
00:05:23.110 --> 00:05:25.049
Chuck: Yeah, he left. He left. Trump left.

77
00:05:25.050 --> 00:05:28.649
Jeezy: They had… they had to bear roll him out.

78
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:41.790
Jeezy: And Chuck made a good point when we were talking to Pre-Pod. At Trump's age, and with the physique that he claimed he has, I was very shocked to see that he can't stand up and pivot.

79
00:05:41.790 --> 00:05:43.869
Chuck: I mean, I mean.

80
00:05:43.870 --> 00:05:56.140
Jeezy: They like that they… they like that they rushed him out of there that bad. Like, he legit… so now I'm thinking back to when the whole thing happened at the shooting that happened in Pennsylvania, when he hit the deck. I'm thinking that he pivoted and fell, too.

81
00:05:57.140 --> 00:05:58.079
Jeezy: He was on the ground.

82
00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:00.149
Chuck: That's why they were holding them up.

83
00:06:00.150 --> 00:06:02.340
Manny: Holding him up.

84
00:06:02.690 --> 00:06:17.630
Jeezy: But, you know, reportedly, there were stumbles, while being rushed out. The shooter was taken into custody, and he was believed to have acted alone. Even though we're, you know, we're cracking some subtle jokes, there were no fatalities, which, you know, we are grateful for.

85
00:06:17.630 --> 00:06:18.439
Manny: very good.

86
00:06:18.440 --> 00:06:28.470
Jeezy: And the event was ultimately canceled, which there were reports of how Trump actually wanted to keep the event going, but that's a smart thing to do with something of this magnitude.

87
00:06:28.750 --> 00:06:37.590
Jeezy: the event was canceled. So, to you guys, I'm gonna ask you, first, Mandy, how does someone carrying, you know, this type of weaponry

88
00:06:37.950 --> 00:06:44.050
Jeezy: even get within striking distance of an event like this? Because, I mean, it isn't like they had it at the Holiday Inn.

89
00:06:44.290 --> 00:06:44.779
Manny: I mean, but.

90
00:06:44.780 --> 00:06:45.230
Chuck: Oh, no.

91
00:06:45.230 --> 00:06:50.029
Manny: But it also… but it also… first of all, we're not… Holiday Inn has held the kid down.

92
00:06:50.030 --> 00:06:52.599
Jeezy: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, look, don't say the Holiday Inn.

93
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.100
Chuck: Would you…

94
00:06:53.100 --> 00:06:57.189
Jeezy: You know when you come off that elevator, the conference room's, like, right there.

95
00:06:57.190 --> 00:07:00.200
Chuck: Literally two steps down the hallway.

96
00:07:00.200 --> 00:07:12.900
Manny: You know, I think sometimes we look at some of these things at a… in a very macro, like, oh man, how this… how this happened, but the reports that I'm hearing coming out of this is that old boy just booked a stay.

97
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:17.740
Manny: He said, hey, I'll stay the night here, and took his stuff and went upstairs.

98
00:07:17.890 --> 00:07:31.580
Manny: Which then also, I think, to add a layer onto that, how was he able to do that? Well, there's now even more reports of people saying that security this year was really, really lax.

99
00:07:32.110 --> 00:07:42.289
Manny: And there was a rumor floating around, I don't know if it's been substantiated at this point, is that he was able to get in with the picture of a ticket and not the actual ticket?

100
00:07:42.470 --> 00:07:43.200
Manny: But yeah.

101
00:07:43.200 --> 00:07:45.840
Jeezy: Very administrative-like.

102
00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:55.340
Manny: Well, and it's strange… for me, it's strange, because this is the first one… I think, Chuck, you said this is the first one he's been to since he's been president.

103
00:07:55.500 --> 00:08:07.679
Chuck: Yes, this is the first one that Donald J. Trump has attended as the president. The other… he's been a total of 3 times, the other two were as guests, and of course, the first one was the infamous one that we.

104
00:08:07.700 --> 00:08:09.750
Manny: That got us into this situation.

105
00:08:09.750 --> 00:08:10.170
Chuck: Yep.

106
00:08:11.080 --> 00:08:14.830
Jeezy: Imagine being a guest and getting roasted that bad, but I digress. Go ahead, brother.

107
00:08:14.830 --> 00:08:15.720
Chuck: Bruh.

108
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:22.180
Manny: So, apparently, he checked into the hotel, took his stuff upstairs, and said, bet, it's go time.

109
00:08:22.470 --> 00:08:24.140
Manny: And… and came down.

110
00:08:24.330 --> 00:08:27.630
Manny: But, like, this is not a small hotel.

111
00:08:28.140 --> 00:08:43.380
Manny: like, the Washington Hilton is a fairly large hotel. There's a lot of space. Again, it's holding an event that has 2,600 people. Yes. So, 2,600 attendees, not including staff, not including support, like…

112
00:08:43.460 --> 00:08:50.980
Manny: So you gotta think that this… the number of people that were probably there and in the vicinity had to be closely approaching.

113
00:08:51.190 --> 00:08:57.690
Manny: I would say another 200 or so, just staff, Secret Service, Capitol Police.

114
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.200
Manny: I think what is confusing for me is that…

115
00:09:02.710 --> 00:09:07.969
Manny: Y'all didn't sweep the rooms, y'all weren't checking the entire hotel? Like…

116
00:09:07.970 --> 00:09:08.589
Chuck: This one…

117
00:09:08.590 --> 00:09:10.859
Manny: This is a major event happening here.

118
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:21.520
Chuck: So let me give you a little pushback, Manny, because I actually saw the report, like you first stated, that, that little ticket, White House Correspondents Dinner.

119
00:09:21.630 --> 00:09:27.269
Chuck: was essentially the entry. But I did see several reporters on Twitter who were saying.

120
00:09:27.270 --> 00:09:43.829
Chuck: this year was really no different than years prior, because in context, it is held at a hotel, which is a public venue, that still is in operation, and still have guests coming in and out and checking in. The difference here is…

121
00:09:43.980 --> 00:09:50.250
Chuck: If you've never been to Washington, D.C, this hotel is probably, I say, 2 blocks long.

122
00:09:50.250 --> 00:09:50.690
Manny: easily.

123
00:09:50.690 --> 00:10:01.160
Chuck: In space. Wow. And so, in this, you have a large conference room and large conference area, and if you've ever been to a hotel with a large banquet hall type setup.

124
00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:09.950
Chuck: there's a corridor in the area where it is essentially… I don't want to say separate from the hotel… Is that separate?

125
00:10:10.370 --> 00:10:15.269
Chuck: But it's separate, yeah, there's space in between the front desk check-in.

126
00:10:15.280 --> 00:10:33.059
Chuck: the elevator that takes you up to the guest room, and then there's, like, another door or area. So this is where the security screening was in this area, and then there was still a long corridor before you even got to the banquet hall area, where the attendees and the event was being held. So, in this.

127
00:10:33.350 --> 00:10:37.270
Chuck: Him checking in as a guest was no different than anybody else who checked in.

128
00:10:37.270 --> 00:10:38.000
Manny: Right.

129
00:10:38.060 --> 00:10:55.359
Chuck: Like I said, they were still in operation, no different than somebody holding their wedding reception at a banquet hall of a hotel. Some of their guests may be staying there, some of them are not, and it's still going on while people are, you know, in and out of the hotel.

130
00:10:55.420 --> 00:11:00.140
Chuck: just, you got a higher level of security here. So, for him to…

131
00:11:00.570 --> 00:11:03.789
Chuck: Check in as a guest, and then come downstairs.

132
00:11:04.250 --> 00:11:06.540
Chuck: is not uncommon.

133
00:11:06.540 --> 00:11:07.230
Manny: Right.

134
00:11:07.420 --> 00:11:21.880
Chuck: it's not a really uncommon thing, but he… him coming down like John Rambo, and rushing to the security checkpoint, is the uncommon nature of this. Now, if this was at a…

135
00:11:22.210 --> 00:11:23.450
Chuck: let's say…

136
00:11:23.900 --> 00:11:41.250
Chuck: the Capitol, just an event at the Capitol. There's a level of screening, extra screening, of who's gonna be there, who's coming through the door before you even get there. They're kind of limited in how they can screen those who are coming into the hotel.

137
00:11:41.470 --> 00:11:52.760
Chuck: it's just that first barrier of security, and I'm sure there were other additional layers of security, but that first barrier where everything happened… because if you were watching the feed.

138
00:11:53.250 --> 00:11:57.599
Chuck: Essentially, those who were in the ballroom area was oblivious to what was going on.

139
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:58.360
Manny: No ideas.

140
00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:58.930
Chuck: Ew.

141
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:10.019
Chuck: you started coming across radios and different avenues of media, and then the chatter started up, because you seen J.D. Vance get rushed out, and then you seen

142
00:12:10.090 --> 00:12:26.299
Chuck: Trump rollout, and then different members of the cabinet were sturring off with their security details, and so, you know, the different people in there, were starting to get bits and pieces of information. Even the young lady who was on CNN.

143
00:12:26.510 --> 00:12:29.830
Chuck: Who's actually calling in, and this is where…

144
00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:32.790
Chuck: You know, all the stuff starts up.

145
00:12:32.790 --> 00:12:33.120
Jeezy: -Oh.

146
00:12:33.660 --> 00:12:34.240
Chuck: you know.

147
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:36.239
Audio shared by Jeezy: You get this…

148
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:37.300
Chuck: You get this popping off.

149
00:12:37.300 --> 00:12:41.439
Audio shared by Jeezy: But, before we…

150
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:51.310
Chuck: We didn't really go into it, we can all delve in that, but that's where this starts, because then she's on the phone while they're doing a live broadcast.

151
00:12:51.450 --> 00:12:58.430
Chuck: And… Again, the information is not clear and direct, because she's getting it secondhand.

152
00:12:58.970 --> 00:13:02.010
Chuck: But nobody heard the shots in the ballroom.

153
00:13:02.010 --> 00:13:11.939
Manny: Here's why I think, to push back on that, here's why I think that it's irresponsible for them to have not checked the hotel, to not check the people that were coming in.

154
00:13:12.110 --> 00:13:13.230
Manny: Because…

155
00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:31.969
Manny: this essentially had dang near the same attendees as the State of the Union. So, something wild would have happened, like, say we would have had a 24 Jack Bauer-like situation, and someone had a bomb, and that would have gone out and blown up the hotel, you would have knocked out

156
00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:35.750
Manny: A good piece of our chain of command right there.

157
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.920
Manny: So I find it really… I find…

158
00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:42.909
Chuck: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

159
00:13:42.910 --> 00:13:44.390
Manny: I find it strange.

160
00:13:44.510 --> 00:13:47.700
Manny: That they wouldn't have swept the entire building, and had been checking.

161
00:13:47.700 --> 00:13:54.259
Chuck: Oh, I'm, I'm sure, I'm sure they did a sweep. I'm sure there were bomb-sniffing dogs.

162
00:13:54.590 --> 00:14:05.769
Chuck: There was a security protocol in place. There's no way that… shoot, I remember when… and I hate to bring his name… oh, I'll use Trump.

163
00:14:07.780 --> 00:14:16.460
Chuck: what was it? During the campaign, right before this last election. And Trump came here to Georgia and had an event in,

164
00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:21.520
Chuck: north of Atlanta, in, I was passing by.

165
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:33.699
Chuck: the airport, because he didn't fly into Hartsfield-Jackson, he flew into one of the smaller ones with his private plane, and the way that they had the area cordoned off and blocked

166
00:14:33.780 --> 00:14:47.759
Chuck: it was a significant distance around the airfield that they had blocked off. So there's… you know, and at this point, he was former President Trump, and still had a level of security.

167
00:14:47.770 --> 00:14:54.129
Chuck: in place, and certain protocols in place. I'm sure they were… they were there, and we'll never get the full details of that.

168
00:14:54.130 --> 00:14:54.609
Jeezy: I don't know.

169
00:14:54.920 --> 00:14:58.070
Chuck: But it's not… but it's not as…

170
00:14:58.370 --> 00:15:04.200
Chuck: it was not as free-flowing, I believe, as it's being reported, or people are…

171
00:15:04.380 --> 00:15:07.770
Chuck: Disseminating that it may have been in there.

172
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:17.180
Manny: Because to your point, in terms of protocol, if any location outside… any private location, any non-governmental location.

173
00:15:17.510 --> 00:15:24.019
Manny: would have had a protocol for this, it would have been the Washington Hilton, because I believe it was in 81,

174
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.590
Manny: Reagan. Someone tried to assassinate him.

175
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:28.919
Chuck: Yep.

176
00:15:28.920 --> 00:15:30.959
Manny: at that same place.

177
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:32.500
Chuck: He got popped at a couple times.

178
00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:33.019
Jeezy: I said, yeah.

179
00:15:33.020 --> 00:15:34.369
Manny: Oh, yeah, they, they…

180
00:15:34.370 --> 00:15:36.309
Chuck: They were going at the ring.

181
00:15:36.310 --> 00:15:38.680
Manny: She's super hot for me.

182
00:15:38.680 --> 00:15:40.400
Chuck: They got him one time.

183
00:15:40.400 --> 00:15:42.010
Jeezy: Yeah, they got a winter.

184
00:15:42.370 --> 00:15:48.419
Manny: Because, like, allegedly, when all this popped up, they took Trump to a presidential suite.

185
00:15:48.610 --> 00:15:53.529
Manny: that they built into the hotel that was built because of the Reagan assassination attempt.

186
00:15:53.530 --> 00:15:59.200
Chuck: Yeah, and I think that's why they have it at this place, because there's an established standard

187
00:15:59.550 --> 00:16:02.860
Chuck: Already, and, you know, so…

188
00:16:03.310 --> 00:16:07.849
Jeezy: Well, I think regardless of whatever security measures they would have taken.

189
00:16:08.030 --> 00:16:10.330
Jeezy: Based on the video that I saw.

190
00:16:10.920 --> 00:16:13.720
Jeezy: The way homeboy ran, and that security.

191
00:16:15.660 --> 00:16:20.510
Jeezy: I don't know if he got a little hint of Sonic the Hedgehog in him, or this little Naruto.

192
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.859
Chuck: He's a runner, he's a track star, huh?

193
00:16:23.860 --> 00:16:32.800
Jeezy: Before they can get… do you know how crazy fast you gotta be running that? By the time you run past security, they drawing their weapons and having to turn back the other way to catch.

194
00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:33.320
Manny: Thank you, like…

195
00:16:33.590 --> 00:16:36.140
Chuck: Well… well, we're gonna… we're gonna get… go there now.

196
00:16:36.140 --> 00:16:37.010
Jeezy: -Oh. -Oh.

197
00:16:39.470 --> 00:16:48.589
Chuck: Our good brother brought the… good brother Manny brought this up as a father and a joke, but hey, we're here.

198
00:16:49.210 --> 00:17:02.619
Chuck: the internet is saying that he is a time traveler, and the future child of Erica Kirk and some of, I ain't gonna say random, I don't know who the black man was.

199
00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:04.470
Manny: Someone from Fox News?

200
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:17.470
Chuck: Okay, someone from Fox News at the Correspondents' Dinner, and this dude is the future child of those individuals, so that would explain how fast he, you know, borderline teleport from point A to point B.

201
00:17:17.760 --> 00:17:18.430
Jeezy: But…

202
00:17:18.450 --> 00:17:20.089
Chuck: Because he was gonna be, bro.

203
00:17:20.099 --> 00:17:24.979
Manny: That is a long corridor. Like, you gotta be moving, moving.

204
00:17:24.980 --> 00:17:29.000
Jeezy: He, bro, he built up with that much speed, I want to know what his 40 time is.

205
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.600
Chuck: Them splits is crazy, boy.

206
00:17:32.600 --> 00:17:33.519
Manny: I'm like, no.

207
00:17:33.970 --> 00:17:37.030
Manny: Maybe he was trying to get drafted, and that ain't play out.

208
00:17:37.260 --> 00:17:46.130
Chuck: Well, you know, they say there's a… there's this 18-year-old in Australia that's, pushing, Usain Bolton, like, records.

209
00:17:46.130 --> 00:17:47.999
Jeezy: I wanna see them too, let me see y'all race.

210
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.459
Chuck: Let's go. That hallway's long enough, too, bruh.

211
00:17:51.460 --> 00:18:01.659
Jeezy: Because he was moving, man, but, you know, there was… one of the points you made, Chuck, there was so much… there was so many different details coming out, because…

212
00:18:01.670 --> 00:18:11.620
Jeezy: You know, the thing that I couldn't understand is, you know, that people were saying they heard shots, but then it was almost as if what took place wasn't even close enough to the ballroom.

213
00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:23.709
Jeezy: So I'm like, okay, well, how were shots being heard if they weren't near the ballroom? And then, I'mma be honest with you, with the level of people that were in this building at this, at this, at this dinner.

214
00:18:24.850 --> 00:18:28.470
Jeezy: How did he come out alive?

215
00:18:29.300 --> 00:18:37.990
Jeezy: is shocking to me. I would think the first thing, especially when he ran past and you see multiple agents with guns drawn at him.

216
00:18:38.250 --> 00:18:39.870
Jeezy: He came out alive.

217
00:18:40.230 --> 00:18:43.170
Jeezy: one of the things I was like… Okay.

218
00:18:43.170 --> 00:18:48.129
Chuck: I mean… no sound right.

219
00:18:48.130 --> 00:18:51.490
Jeezy: I would expect a person to be trying to commit

220
00:18:51.650 --> 00:19:00.669
Jeezy: an assassination attempt, or just whatever his attempt was to do with these high-ranking officials and cabinet members and the President of the United States.

221
00:19:00.800 --> 00:19:08.049
Jeezy: This isn't a, hey, ask questions now and shoot later. No, this is… we shoot now, and we'll get to the bottom.

222
00:19:08.050 --> 00:19:11.369
Chuck: Put them down! Put them down.

223
00:19:11.370 --> 00:19:13.280
Jeezy: Putting your own and putting you down.

224
00:19:13.280 --> 00:19:28.489
Manny: I do wonder if his… and I don't know the exact distance where they apprehended him versus him being able to enter, but something tells me maybe that was probably in play about why this… this guy is still here to… to speak. Yeah. Because I think the likelihood…

225
00:19:28.940 --> 00:19:36.809
Manny: you think about the event. As you would have got closer to the event, it goes… it probably changes from people in plain clothes…

226
00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:39.430
Manny: To people who are in tactical gear.

227
00:19:39.610 --> 00:19:49.449
Manny: Oh, for sure. And good luck getting through that. So I think his inability to get super close to the venue probably is the reason why he is still here.

228
00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:52.879
Chuck: And it also proves to the point

229
00:19:53.270 --> 00:19:59.600
Chuck: he had no idea where they were. Like, he had a general, oh, they're over here.

230
00:19:59.600 --> 00:20:01.690
Jeezy: in that fast and don't know where you're going, it's crazy.

231
00:20:01.690 --> 00:20:03.580
Chuck: You going… like, you gotta ask.

232
00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:05.290
Manny: Take a left, nope, nope, I gotta take a right.

233
00:20:05.290 --> 00:20:08.330
Chuck: I can tell that something's going on over here, but I don't know where I'm going.

234
00:20:08.330 --> 00:20:08.989
Manny: He was.

235
00:20:08.990 --> 00:20:12.450
Jeezy: down the hallway, and it ain't even nothing down there, like, oh, man.

236
00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:14.280
Manny: No, now that I put it together.

237
00:20:14.430 --> 00:20:23.640
Manny: He was running with the same intentionality as the people that are trying to speedrun the Church of Scientology.

238
00:20:23.930 --> 00:20:24.420
Manny: Right.

239
00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:26.130
Chuck: Just random.

240
00:20:26.130 --> 00:20:27.990
Manny: I'm just ring… I can… it's over here.

241
00:20:27.990 --> 00:20:28.740
Jeezy: No, the wiggle room.

242
00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:29.839
Manny: I just laughed.

243
00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:30.880
Jeezy: All in corners.

244
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:32.880
Chuck: Oh, this door's locked!

245
00:20:34.050 --> 00:20:42.759
Manny: But, from all… so, to your question, Olivia Rindale, Randall Deep, from CBS.

246
00:20:42.760 --> 00:20:43.240
Jeezy: Recall.

247
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:50.659
Manny: Olivia. Yeah, yeah. She said that originally it sounded like plates had fallen, and there were loud noises.

248
00:20:50.780 --> 00:20:54.130
Manny: And that's what she had heard.

249
00:20:54.490 --> 00:20:58.030
Jeezy: I never heard what… that ain't what gunshots sounded like when I grew up in Rocky Mount.

250
00:21:00.540 --> 00:21:04.160
Manny: I have never heard a gunshot sound like plates falling.

251
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:05.600
Jeezy: I knew exactly what that sound was.

252
00:21:07.830 --> 00:21:15.259
Manny: So, but, I mean, shout out to Wolf Blitzer, who apparently had to go to the bathroom and pop it off, and everything popped off right in front of him.

253
00:21:15.260 --> 00:21:20.809
Jeezy: He said that it was… the guy was maybe 3-4 feet away from him. I said, bro, I know Wolf.

254
00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:25.950
Jeezy: I hope he made it to that bathroom. I hope it happened after he came out the bathroom.

255
00:21:25.950 --> 00:21:26.780
Manny: Because…

256
00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:33.500
Chuck: I was gonna have to pay that fee to return those tuxes.

257
00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:34.930
Manny: to clean it.

258
00:21:34.930 --> 00:21:36.219
Jeezy: Yeah, I just got the pig.

259
00:21:36.340 --> 00:21:38.460
Jeezy: But man, you know… Go ahead, man, I'm sorry.

260
00:21:38.460 --> 00:21:42.979
Manny: No, and I think the thing that was shocking for me is…

261
00:21:44.210 --> 00:21:57.659
Manny: everyone's real calm for it having been a situation. Like, you go back, you see the videos and the pictures of people in there. My favorite so far has been Shane McMahon during the entire thing, just standing there, saying, hmm, okay.

262
00:21:57.820 --> 00:22:04.330
Manny: Right. And there's another one with Cash App, just looking around, not knowing that the day's coming or going.

263
00:22:04.330 --> 00:22:10.520
Jeezy: Cash App was sitting kind of low, because he was trying to keep that beer to the ground so nobody.

264
00:22:10.520 --> 00:22:22.520
Chuck: You go to the function, let's tell on ourselves. So, back in the day, when we go to the step show or something, you know, the boys had to have their vibitions.

265
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:27.140
Chuck: You gotta scooch down in the chest so you can sip a little bit.

266
00:22:27.810 --> 00:22:29.089
Chuck: Drank a little bit.

267
00:22:29.090 --> 00:22:29.640
Manny: Hmm.

268
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:31.910
Chuck: Man, I'm glad…

269
00:22:31.910 --> 00:22:33.410
Jeezy: I'm trying to hide a cup, bruh.

270
00:22:34.030 --> 00:22:35.740
Chuck: That's it.

271
00:22:35.740 --> 00:22:39.490
Manny: that we've mixed with Sprite, or Sierra Mist.

272
00:22:39.490 --> 00:22:40.270
Jeezy: Hey, listen…

273
00:22:40.540 --> 00:22:42.290
Manny: Are Fena.

274
00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:45.010
Chuck: Mix. Pour it out.

275
00:22:46.190 --> 00:22:52.670
Jeezy: Only thing we will mix with is some good ol' Simply now. And this ain't a sponsorship, but it should be.

276
00:22:53.490 --> 00:22:54.640
Manny: We had…

277
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.269
Jeezy: It's all down in the 2000s.

278
00:22:57.270 --> 00:22:58.190
Manny: Boy.

279
00:22:58.190 --> 00:23:00.779
Chuck: Deal with the amount of money.

280
00:23:00.780 --> 00:23:01.550
Jeezy: Yes, sir.

281
00:23:01.990 --> 00:23:08.699
Chuck: But yeah, I'm glad you, took it to this point, Mandy, because, you know, we were being very responsible before with our commentary and reporting on this.

282
00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:10.569
Chuck: Now let's get a little ignorant.

283
00:23:13.390 --> 00:23:14.240
Manny: There you go.

284
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:18.170
Chuck: He… he… There are questions.

285
00:23:18.670 --> 00:23:20.849
Chuck: About the validity of this event.

286
00:23:21.280 --> 00:23:23.109
Chuck: There are questions.

287
00:23:24.860 --> 00:23:26.670
Chuck: Y-yeah, yeah.

288
00:23:26.670 --> 00:23:28.150
Manny: Yep. Yep.

289
00:23:28.150 --> 00:23:34.640
Chuck: Our question is, if this is not another staged moment.

290
00:23:34.890 --> 00:23:39.350
Jeezy: I want to point out to our listeners what he said. My brother made a… said a key word.

291
00:23:39.650 --> 00:23:40.570
Jeezy: Another.

292
00:23:40.730 --> 00:23:43.889
Chuck: Another. No DJ Khaled.

293
00:23:43.890 --> 00:23:45.490
Manny: Another one.

294
00:23:45.490 --> 00:23:53.049
Chuck: Because… We know how… and this actually… the precursor to this

295
00:23:53.240 --> 00:24:00.580
Chuck: commentary here is the security standpoint, and the different measures in place, and in that.

296
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:05.370
Chuck: We know what's going on at this place. We know the individuals that are here.

297
00:24:07.080 --> 00:24:08.040
Chuck: Why?

298
00:24:08.390 --> 00:24:13.590
Chuck: Why and how? And… to the…

299
00:24:13.890 --> 00:24:18.610
Chuck: The laissez-faire look on a lot of people's face.

300
00:24:20.850 --> 00:24:36.590
Chuck: We know what's going on in the news. We know that Trump has extended this ceasefire with no rounds of negotiation indefinitely. But what's real interesting and has not been talked about a whole lot is…

301
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:45.419
Chuck: he kept, Wyckoff and Kushner from going to Pakistan when they were supposed to be headed over there for negotiations to continue.

302
00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:45.990
Jeezy: Yep.

303
00:24:46.450 --> 00:24:46.960
Manny: Yep.

304
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:58.039
Chuck: We, you know, we have to throw something else out here, because, what, just two weeks ago, old Melania popped up and caused another, annexation of Puerto Rico play.

305
00:24:58.040 --> 00:24:58.730
Jeezy: Yep.

306
00:24:58.730 --> 00:25:05.290
Chuck: And and now… and now here we are, the dropback pass, go route.

307
00:25:05.390 --> 00:25:06.640
Chuck: Blue52.

308
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:07.060
Jeezy: Bruh.

309
00:25:07.060 --> 00:25:11.819
Chuck: At the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Something else to talk about, because… he…

310
00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:13.710
Manny: Yeah, well, think about it.

311
00:25:13.710 --> 00:25:16.059
Jeezy: always the move… and I… and I'm…

312
00:25:16.470 --> 00:25:21.759
Jeezy: You know, our 104 had community. If don't nobody love y'all, the boys hit the pod, we love you.

313
00:25:22.150 --> 00:25:22.780
Chuck: rock with you.

314
00:25:22.780 --> 00:25:23.920
Jeezy: We ride with you heavy.

315
00:25:24.820 --> 00:25:30.950
Jeezy: But it seems to be that every time there is…

316
00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:34.500
Jeezy: that the administration, Trump administration, is down.

317
00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:43.440
Jeezy: This is the… this is always the play that they run out there. I mean, it just… at some point, it can't just be a coincidence.

318
00:25:44.010 --> 00:25:44.500
Manny: I mean, we'll.

319
00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:45.430
Jeezy: It just can't be.

320
00:25:45.430 --> 00:25:48.350
Manny: Well, look what's getting ready to happen over the next couple days.

321
00:25:48.900 --> 00:25:50.350
Manny: So…

322
00:25:50.550 --> 00:26:02.109
Manny: while we're not gonna spend time this episode talking about the, war in Iran, I think it is key for this discussion of understanding what we could be getting distracted from.

323
00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:09.099
Manny: Well, oil shipments… The U.S. gets about 8% of its oil from the Middle East.

324
00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:15.769
Manny: But it usually takes about 45 days… 45, 50 days for those ships to make it.

325
00:26:15.770 --> 00:26:16.250
Jeezy: from the show.

326
00:26:16.250 --> 00:26:18.949
Manny: straight to the U.S, and…

327
00:26:18.950 --> 00:26:19.580
Jeezy: I'll say weird, man.

328
00:26:19.580 --> 00:26:21.969
Manny: What do you know? Time's up.

329
00:26:23.390 --> 00:26:26.819
Manny: This carriage, this carriage about to turn back into a pumpkin.

330
00:26:26.820 --> 00:26:27.360
Jeezy: Yep.

331
00:26:27.580 --> 00:26:32.079
Chuck: Yeah, because my gas… the gas by my house just went up 15 cent in a day and a half.

332
00:26:32.080 --> 00:26:37.579
Jeezy: I ain't even checked to see what it went up to here, but I'm gonna have to check after we record, because I know what's up.

333
00:26:37.580 --> 00:26:41.849
Manny: So that, that's getting ready to take place. And…

334
00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:52.560
Manny: the other report that… I want to say it came out kind of late this week, but it's almost like it was buried… it was a Pentagon report that said…

335
00:26:53.020 --> 00:26:56.550
Manny: Even if… The war ended today.

336
00:26:56.550 --> 00:26:57.150
Jeezy: Yep.

337
00:26:57.580 --> 00:27:04.140
Manny: It was going to take at least 6 months for normal shipping to resume.

338
00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:05.070
Jeezy: Yep.

339
00:27:05.070 --> 00:27:08.149
Manny: And, you know, for our community out there.

340
00:27:11.430 --> 00:27:12.949
Chuck: Well, we let that thing ring on.

341
00:27:12.950 --> 00:27:14.219
Manny: Oh yeah, it was fun, Jay.

342
00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:17.769
Jeezy: It's like 3 times in 30 minutes, you know?

343
00:27:18.050 --> 00:27:23.730
Manny: If the war were to end today, and assuming that 6-month time span, that low.

344
00:27:23.730 --> 00:27:24.829
Chuck: reduce gas prices.

345
00:27:24.830 --> 00:27:30.390
Manny: just in time for the midterm elections, like we like to do.

346
00:27:31.690 --> 00:27:45.830
Manny: But the… I think what's interesting for me is I… I felt as though when Trump said… when it came out that Trump was going to be giving a press conference after all of this, I was like, cool, we're gonna… we're gonna hear the spin, we're gonna get it blamed on something, we're gonna learn something.

347
00:27:45.950 --> 00:28:04.360
Manny: I thought… because at this point, we didn't know who the shooter was, we just knew the shooter was apprehended. Yeah. So I'm like, okay, is… are we gonna… is this gonna get parlayed into some boots on the ground in Iran? Are… are we getting ready to strike some other things that they… they want to blame? I was not prepared

348
00:28:04.690 --> 00:28:05.470
Manny: for the bill.

349
00:28:05.470 --> 00:28:06.340
Jeezy: For the Grand Pivot?

350
00:28:06.340 --> 00:28:08.410
Manny: Boy…

351
00:28:08.410 --> 00:28:09.229
Chuck: It wasn't his thing.

352
00:28:09.230 --> 00:28:12.389
Manny: He hit me with… he hit me with a hard Euro step.

353
00:28:12.390 --> 00:28:22.759
Jeezy: Bro, I remember Maddie talking about this, like, out of all the spins that come out of this, I did not see this one. So, before you continue, Maddie, I wanted, for our listeners, so…

354
00:28:23.270 --> 00:28:27.860
Jeezy: right after this happened, and I want to say it was not even, what, an hour?

355
00:28:27.860 --> 00:28:28.610
Manny: However…

356
00:28:28.780 --> 00:28:29.520
Jeezy: Maybe now?

357
00:28:29.520 --> 00:28:30.640
Chuck: That's being generous.

358
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:30.990
Jeezy: Yeah.

359
00:28:30.990 --> 00:28:31.550
Manny: Yeah.

360
00:28:31.550 --> 00:28:33.560
Jeezy: It was pretty quick, which…

361
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:36.560
Audio shared by Jeezy: Got a car.

362
00:28:36.560 --> 00:28:37.499
Manny: Actually, no, wait…

363
00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:38.260
Chuck: Appearance statement.

364
00:28:38.270 --> 00:28:47.759
Manny: Officially, it's… it was about a little under 2 hours, because the shooting happened at 8.35, and the press… oh, that… sorry.

365
00:28:47.760 --> 00:28:51.549
Chuck: Hold on, I got a point of reference. Let me look that up while you're talking, brother, because I think…

366
00:28:51.550 --> 00:28:53.620
Jeezy: He… he… it was quick, bruh.

367
00:28:53.620 --> 00:28:54.420
Chuck: Very quick.

368
00:28:54.420 --> 00:29:02.470
Jeezy: He got from the hotel back to the White House, got him out the car, let him use the bathroom, changed, and got him in front of that podium.

369
00:29:02.470 --> 00:29:06.949
Manny: We didn't get up there for the, for the, press conference until about 10.30.

370
00:29:07.620 --> 00:29:10.679
Manny: Okay. So it had been about, like, 2 hours.

371
00:29:11.120 --> 00:29:15.459
Manny: So, while a long time, still really, really short.

372
00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:16.080
Jeezy: Yeah.

373
00:29:16.210 --> 00:29:26.019
Jeezy: So he had his press conference, and, you know, Cash Out was standing… I don't know if y'all saw how Cash App was standing up there, but he definitely had already… he already had touched that bottle.

374
00:29:26.820 --> 00:29:33.169
Manny: Look, he either had touched the bottle, or that man was going through some hard withdrawals from not touching the bottle.

375
00:29:33.170 --> 00:29:35.899
Jeezy: The past couple… the past week.

376
00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:36.799
Manny: I'm struggling.

377
00:29:37.770 --> 00:29:44.149
Jeezy: But, you know, Donnie T got up there, and even Donnie T' hair starting to look bad, man.

378
00:29:44.620 --> 00:29:46.189
Manny: Cuz he's old.

379
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:46.920
Jeezy: Right.

380
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:48.350
Manny: Oh, man.

381
00:29:48.350 --> 00:29:50.799
Jeezy: I released the dementia dossier, bruh.

382
00:29:50.800 --> 00:30:00.639
Manny: I don't know if y'all saw, like, George Bush's daughter, I think it was Jenna, who's the reporter now, she interviewed all the past living presidents.

383
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:00.960
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah.

384
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.680
Manny: The only one who really looks like they still got a fresh lineup is Barack.

385
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:07.409
Jeezy: Hell yeah. Usain gonna keep a fresh haircut.

386
00:30:07.410 --> 00:30:12.629
Chuck: Bruh, I seen, GW do an interview, and he…

387
00:30:12.850 --> 00:30:15.699
Chuck: Whew, that bush bloodline ain't… Yes, sir.

388
00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:16.140
Manny: They all!

389
00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:23.519
Chuck: They don't care strong. They old. They don't care strong. They old, they old, but they don't care strong a lot in their old age either, brother.

390
00:30:23.520 --> 00:30:25.480
Jeezy: Oh.

391
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:26.240
Chuck: is curdling.

392
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:30.340
Jeezy: The Milkone Band.

393
00:30:30.340 --> 00:30:31.690
Manny: I'm going bad.

394
00:30:31.690 --> 00:30:50.620
Jeezy: But, you know, Trump gets up there for his press conference, and of course he praises the special… excuse me, the Secret Service. I had to call him special. But, he calls the, the actor a lone wolf, and, initially he wanted to continue the dinner, but he was advised by others, that it needs to be canceled. But the big pivot…

395
00:30:51.320 --> 00:30:54.119
Jeezy: That, that, caught Mandy off guard.

396
00:30:54.910 --> 00:31:04.699
Jeezy: was that the administration and allies quickly brought back up a major proposal for a $400 million White House ballroom.

397
00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:10.920
Jeezy: Proof glass, controlled access, enhanced security footprint.

398
00:31:11.510 --> 00:31:16.850
Jeezy: And the argument was that if this was on White House grounds, it wouldn't have happened.

399
00:31:17.310 --> 00:31:34.510
Manny: And for our listeners, here's the pivot. Either I was expecting an Iran pivot, or what I thought was going to be some type of pivot to us reopening the Department of Homeland Security and providing funds, because it came out also this week.

400
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:40.460
Manny: TSA was about to run out of money. So those were… those were the two pivots that I was expecting.

401
00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:40.880
Jeezy: Yeah.

402
00:31:41.090 --> 00:31:41.560
Manny: So…

403
00:31:41.560 --> 00:31:42.610
Jeezy: The ballroom was wild.

404
00:31:42.900 --> 00:31:56.889
Manny: When he said ballroom, I was like, well, that's wild. And then I hopped on Twitter, and the entire Discord around it was like, yeah, we need a ball… Fetterman was like, yeah, this wouldn't happen if we had a ballroom, and I'm like.

405
00:31:56.890 --> 00:31:57.390
Chuck: Yeah.

406
00:31:57.390 --> 00:32:00.650
Manny: What are… what are y'all talking… so, this leads me to believe…

407
00:32:01.080 --> 00:32:06.370
Manny: That this ballroom is about to cost $12.8 trillion.

408
00:32:07.550 --> 00:32:09.029
Manny: Because in my mind.

409
00:32:09.250 --> 00:32:25.179
Manny: We're already building the ballroom. You done tore up the White House. They laying foundation stuff. We've already spent that. In my mind, when we think about how much this ballroom is gonna cost, it's like when we all went to Vegas, and I put my card down at the bar.

410
00:32:25.650 --> 00:32:27.020
Manny: The money's been spent.

411
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.640
Manny: So, I'm just waiting to see the final damage.

412
00:32:30.930 --> 00:32:31.700
Jeezy: Bruh.

413
00:32:31.700 --> 00:32:32.040
Manny: But that.

414
00:32:32.040 --> 00:32:36.820
Jeezy: I wanna ask y'all this, and I'm gonna go to Chuck on this first.

415
00:32:36.990 --> 00:32:43.430
Jeezy: With Trump pushing that pivot of the White House ballroom, Is it a fair point?

416
00:32:43.730 --> 00:32:50.949
Jeezy: Or does it feel like they're using a crisis to push something that is already on the table?

417
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:56.650
Chuck: Well, first and foremost, We're talking about the Secret Service here.

418
00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.479
Chuck: the Secret Service, who…

419
00:33:00.030 --> 00:33:08.140
Chuck: It is pretty revered in many circles for their level of security, their dedication, their thoroughness.

420
00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:12.340
Chuck: Barack Obama was president for 8 years.

421
00:33:14.120 --> 00:33:17.500
Chuck: he attended several White House Correspondents' Dinners.

422
00:33:18.550 --> 00:33:19.910
Chuck: Not once.

423
00:33:21.140 --> 00:33:22.620
Chuck: Do we have an issue?

424
00:33:23.570 --> 00:33:25.720
Chuck: Joe Biden was president for 4 years.

425
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:27.560
Manny: I won't say not once we didn't have.

426
00:33:27.560 --> 00:33:29.119
Chuck: Not to this level, not to this level.

427
00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:31.240
Manny: Not once did anyone get this close.

428
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:38.890
Chuck: That's what I'm saying. No, no, no, no, no. Any president, there are moments of security concern.

429
00:33:39.340 --> 00:33:57.229
Chuck: Please, please don't… listeners, don't take that… me saying this as, it's a breeze, there are no security concerns. There's always a concern for security, and I can't talk. And there are fires that are put out before they even billow up into a flame. Yeah.

430
00:33:57.230 --> 00:33:57.670
Jeezy: Yep.

431
00:33:58.330 --> 00:34:03.960
Chuck: But that speaks to the level of the Secret Service.

432
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:10.280
Chuck: And for those who don't know, the Secret Service has a police that…

433
00:34:10.469 --> 00:34:25.070
Chuck: who does patrol and different things outside of those who are just with the president and guarding the president. So, in this, I say all that to say there's been 1, 2, 3…

434
00:34:25.730 --> 00:34:30.090
Chuck: 4, if I'm not mistaken, different incidents where…

435
00:34:30.350 --> 00:34:36.820
Chuck: definitely 3, you could say, quote-unquote, there's been an imminent danger towards Trump.

436
00:34:37.830 --> 00:34:47.479
Manny: I mean, that's not counting, like, the people that we hear about every… I want to say it's, like, every quarter, where someone rushes on the White House lawn, or someone's shooting outside. Yes, exactly, yeah. Ignoring those.

437
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:51.239
Chuck: Ignoring those, Why do you think that is?

438
00:34:51.650 --> 00:35:08.339
Chuck: Why do you think there's been imminent danger? Not just a danger, because like Manny said, people… every president has had an issue, somebody White House lawn, something suspicious, this, that, and the third. There's been at least 3 highly notable incidents

439
00:35:08.550 --> 00:35:11.899
Chuck: Of imminent danger, or perceived imminent danger.

440
00:35:12.020 --> 00:35:18.690
Chuck: to Donald J. Trump. And every time there is something going on, That is…

441
00:35:19.260 --> 00:35:27.609
Chuck: Either to be distracted or spun into an advantageous situation for him.

442
00:35:28.290 --> 00:35:35.379
Chuck: Why is that? Like, there's some things… it's not even tenfold, there's some good, God-given common sense.

443
00:35:36.040 --> 00:35:40.470
Chuck: deduction. I'm sitting here, and 2 plus 2 equals 4.

444
00:35:40.710 --> 00:35:43.860
Chuck: But every time we get to 4, you take 3 away from me.

445
00:35:44.710 --> 00:35:45.580
Chuck: Every single time.

446
00:35:45.580 --> 00:35:46.520
Manny: Thanks.

447
00:35:47.300 --> 00:35:50.780
Chuck: So, you're not gonna sit here and…

448
00:35:51.060 --> 00:35:53.439
Chuck: Give me a bowl of oatmeal.

449
00:35:54.110 --> 00:35:57.369
Chuck: And tell me to eat it, and then you knock it on the floor.

450
00:35:57.920 --> 00:35:59.309
Chuck: Because that's what they're doing.

451
00:35:59.310 --> 00:36:14.669
Manny: And it's also, like, these ones, the notable ones, have all been very, very low scale. Like, Lone Wolf, like, one of those situations, not, like, massive network infographics.

452
00:36:14.670 --> 00:36:15.250
Jeezy: I don't know what…

453
00:36:15.250 --> 00:36:16.010
Chuck: And this dude…

454
00:36:16.010 --> 00:36:17.440
Jeezy: Hiring these people from?

455
00:36:18.260 --> 00:36:19.960
Chuck: That temp agency trash.

456
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:21.240
Manny: Terrible.

457
00:36:21.240 --> 00:36:25.720
Chuck: Because they say a little buddy, his shotgun was a makeshift shotgun.

458
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:31.130
Chuck: Like, you won't know… it wasn't… these folks… Oh, boy.

459
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:32.650
Chuck: In Pennsylvania.

460
00:36:33.060 --> 00:36:49.189
Chuck: I don't care what anybody says, you can… you can play the X-Files music, you can give me a… you can give me the Ten Man suit from Wizard of Oz, you can give me Nipsey Russell's suit from The Wiz. That was some BS. They killed that boy.

461
00:36:49.410 --> 00:36:53.610
Chuck: over… Trump grew his ear back like he was Wolverine.

462
00:36:54.180 --> 00:36:55.880
Jeezy: Evander Holyfield asking how.

463
00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:57.369
Manny: household. How? How?

464
00:36:57.430 --> 00:37:03.240
Chuck: Give me the prescription that you got to get your ear back. Like…

465
00:37:03.350 --> 00:37:09.199
Chuck: And that… that one was spun into… we… we're strong, I'm a fighter.

466
00:37:09.200 --> 00:37:09.800
Jeezy: Yep.

467
00:37:10.220 --> 00:37:11.400
Chuck: This ballroom…

468
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:12.360
Jeezy: Span, bruh.

469
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:20.590
Chuck: Always. Trump messed up a couple weeks ago. I ain't gonna say messed up, but he had a slip a couple weeks ago when he told us about what was supposed to be underneath that ballroom.

470
00:37:22.040 --> 00:37:27.189
Chuck: Although he is senile, and I'll say this, and I'll stand on it, That man's senile.

471
00:37:28.740 --> 00:37:40.540
Chuck: I'm in a seat now. Not see the now, see now. And he slipped up and told us there was supposed to be some kind of security something bunker underneath that ballroom.

472
00:37:41.600 --> 00:37:52.620
Chuck: Manny brought this up at Prepot. If it was supposed to be a bunker underneath there, that number that they quoted us was already wrong. Already from the beginning.

473
00:37:52.620 --> 00:37:55.220
Jeezy: Funds have been depleted.

474
00:37:57.140 --> 00:37:57.839
Chuck: He's coming from one of.

475
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:02.979
Manny: those budget lines that we don't ever see. It's never in any congressional budget, like, it…

476
00:38:03.490 --> 00:38:04.389
Chuck: It's lush, wasn't it.

477
00:38:04.900 --> 00:38:06.710
Manny: It's just gonna happen. Yep.

478
00:38:06.710 --> 00:38:14.010
Jeezy: You questioned me about fair renovation. Look how you blowing through your budget.

479
00:38:14.950 --> 00:38:17.629
Jeezy: Bruh, it's crazy. I think that, man…

480
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:25.299
Jeezy: The spin of the ballroom, to me, is wild, because… You're using this crisis…

481
00:38:25.690 --> 00:38:32.249
Jeezy: As a way to say, hey, yeah, you should see every reason why we should spend this amount of money.

482
00:38:32.650 --> 00:38:36.450
Jeezy: And I've said it on the pod before, Just like the war.

483
00:38:37.310 --> 00:38:41.820
Jeezy: You wouldn't have to spend that much money, or have a price tag if you just stopped pissing people low.

484
00:38:42.140 --> 00:38:42.610
Chuck: Amen.

485
00:38:42.610 --> 00:38:52.959
Jeezy: It's much cheaper to stop being a jerk and moving around acting like you're a kingpin in Wilson Fisk, where you can just be presidential, acting like you got some sense, and you wouldn't have nothing to worry about.

486
00:38:53.180 --> 00:38:59.569
Manny: Well, also remember that one of the… one of the chief rules of politics, never let a good crisis go to waste.

487
00:38:59.910 --> 00:39:01.500
Jeezy: I mean…

488
00:39:01.500 --> 00:39:02.910
Chuck: When you're creating a crisis…

489
00:39:02.910 --> 00:39:04.440
Jeezy: Oh, thank you, Chuck, I was about to say, is it good?

490
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:05.400
Chuck: Manufacturing.

491
00:39:06.370 --> 00:39:08.540
Chuck: Manufactured! Which…

492
00:39:08.830 --> 00:39:14.110
Jeezy: to that point, Manny was talking about, you know, the Discord that he saw online, that

493
00:39:14.650 --> 00:39:18.030
Jeezy: People were jumping behind, supporting this ballroom, but…

494
00:39:18.620 --> 00:39:23.369
Jeezy: Equally, I think you had just as many people They said, yeah,

495
00:39:24.520 --> 00:39:27.610
Chuck: That message…

496
00:39:27.610 --> 00:39:27.950
Manny: It's either.

497
00:39:27.950 --> 00:39:28.980
Chuck: It would be the…

498
00:39:28.980 --> 00:39:30.700
Manny: Sir, we need a ballroom.

499
00:39:31.110 --> 00:39:33.209
Manny: Or this was faked. It was…

500
00:39:33.210 --> 00:39:39.559
Chuck: And this, it was, we need a ballroom, or y'all put this a play on in the ballroom.

501
00:39:40.380 --> 00:39:47.689
Jeezy: Which is crazy to me, the people saying we need a ballroom, because I hope you know that you can't rent this out for your little party that you want to have.

502
00:39:47.690 --> 00:39:49.279
Chuck: He's not gonna be in Victoria.

503
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:50.529
Manny: Actually, hold on.

504
00:39:50.770 --> 00:39:52.550
Chuck: If… you're right, if Trump is president.

505
00:39:53.060 --> 00:39:54.870
Chuck: He gon' monetize that by her room.

506
00:39:54.870 --> 00:39:55.909
Manny: I've got a price for the.

507
00:39:56.130 --> 00:39:56.690
Chuck: Everything.

508
00:39:56.690 --> 00:39:57.650
Jeezy: Right, you're right.

509
00:39:57.650 --> 00:40:04.110
Manny: American people, there is a price tag on… Look, maybe we should rent the big, beautiful ballroom.

510
00:40:04.850 --> 00:40:05.740
Manny: And throw parties.

511
00:40:07.370 --> 00:40:11.210
Jeezy: I'm just tired. We got the Triumphant Tower, Ark, whatever it is.

512
00:40:11.210 --> 00:40:11.909
Manny: Oh, that handy.

513
00:40:11.910 --> 00:40:12.809
Jeezy: We ain't really talked.

514
00:40:12.810 --> 00:40:13.940
Manny: talked about the Ark.

515
00:40:15.600 --> 00:40:16.969
Chuck: The Arc de Triomphe.

516
00:40:16.970 --> 00:40:18.360
Manny: Triumph.

517
00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:20.010
Chuck: Not triumph, triumph.

518
00:40:21.740 --> 00:40:26.190
Jeezy: But you… I mean, the internet was buzzing about this being staged, man, and how it was just…

519
00:40:26.560 --> 00:40:37.989
Jeezy: to convene that this happened. The one time Trump attends as president, and it was reported he was late, so it was like… a lot of people were like, maybe he was late because they were trying to make sure everything was in place, and…

520
00:40:37.990 --> 00:40:41.329
Chuck: He was late?

521
00:40:41.330 --> 00:40:42.879
Jeezy: Had to get that changed.

522
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:43.240
Manny: It wasn't.

523
00:40:43.240 --> 00:40:43.600
Chuck: disconnect.

524
00:40:43.600 --> 00:40:44.150
Manny: Yep.

525
00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:47.530
Jeezy: He had to get that nighttime bottle.

526
00:40:48.630 --> 00:40:58.370
Manny: he… he was late. It wasn't announced, like, I… I don't remember hearing it being talked about that he was going to be there until, like, Friday.

527
00:41:00.860 --> 00:41:03.509
Chuck: Because he just remembered it was happening on Friday.

528
00:41:03.510 --> 00:41:05.280
Jeezy: I said, well, that's when they got the plan finished.

529
00:41:05.490 --> 00:41:06.599
Manny: They're like, oh…

530
00:41:06.950 --> 00:41:07.720
Manny: go now.

531
00:41:09.700 --> 00:41:12.019
Chuck: You got… I got my medicine, I can stay up late.

532
00:41:12.340 --> 00:41:13.200
Jeezy: Bruh.

533
00:41:13.200 --> 00:41:18.249
Manny: But, shoutout to the lady who, they got on film grabbing that bottle of champagne.

534
00:41:18.250 --> 00:41:18.730
Jeezy: Yo.

535
00:41:18.730 --> 00:41:21.290
Manny: Before she went out. Brad, did you see the way she grabbed her?

536
00:41:21.290 --> 00:41:23.460
Jeezy: They're like, Thank you.

537
00:41:24.640 --> 00:41:26.759
Chuck: You can't let a good time go to waste.

538
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:28.359
Jeezy: I'm taking this back up to the room.

539
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:34.050
Manny: No point in being sober in all this.

540
00:41:34.050 --> 00:41:34.910
Chuck: I know.

541
00:41:34.910 --> 00:41:38.050
Jeezy: There were about to be shots flying by my head. Oh, yeah.

542
00:41:38.050 --> 00:41:39.900
Chuck: We're gonna put some shots up.

543
00:41:39.900 --> 00:41:41.770
Jeezy: fast up.

544
00:41:42.090 --> 00:41:48.300
Manny: And we ain't forgot about Caroline Lovett, them catching her before this entire thing started.

545
00:41:48.830 --> 00:41:49.770
Manny: And giving that energy.

546
00:41:49.770 --> 00:41:50.350
Jeezy: Oh, bro.

547
00:41:51.290 --> 00:41:52.510
Jeezy: It's gonna be shot-fired tonight.

548
00:41:52.510 --> 00:41:54.269
Manny: Let's fire tonight in the room.

549
00:41:54.270 --> 00:41:55.890
Jeezy: Oh,

550
00:41:56.040 --> 00:42:01.840
Chuck: And then that CNN reporter who said that she was sitting beside Caroline Levitt's husband.

551
00:42:02.460 --> 00:42:04.809
Chuck: And he told her to be safe tonight.

552
00:42:05.120 --> 00:42:06.450
Chuck: And to be careful.

553
00:42:07.100 --> 00:42:11.120
Chuck: And as she was talking about it, they cut her, her, call.

554
00:42:11.370 --> 00:42:12.890
Chuck: Like, live on air.

555
00:42:12.890 --> 00:42:13.290
Jeezy: Bruh.

556
00:42:13.290 --> 00:42:13.900
Chuck: He was calling.

557
00:42:13.900 --> 00:42:14.289
Jeezy: Yeah, I think you…

558
00:42:14.290 --> 00:42:15.559
Chuck: And they, and they cut it.

559
00:42:15.730 --> 00:42:18.039
Chuck: And that's feeding into the fodder of…

560
00:42:18.530 --> 00:42:19.650
Chuck: This was stage.

561
00:42:20.060 --> 00:42:23.739
Jeezy: You even had Stephen Miller using his pregnant wife as a human shield.

562
00:42:23.740 --> 00:42:29.089
Chuck: Bruh. Even Miller. If you needed any further reason to say he was a piece of trash…

563
00:42:29.090 --> 00:42:30.790
Jeezy: Bruh, he is such a piece of trash.

564
00:42:32.340 --> 00:42:37.930
Jeezy: She is terrible, bruh. Your pregnant wife, there's a shooter going on, and you… you got her leading the way.

565
00:42:38.530 --> 00:42:42.210
Chuck: He lets her walk on the street… on the street side, on the side.

566
00:42:42.490 --> 00:42:44.149
Manny: Oh, most definitely.

567
00:42:44.490 --> 00:42:55.069
Jeezy: But, it'll be interesting in the coming days how this plays out, because I think with having Trump immediately going into this pivot of, this is why we need

568
00:42:55.220 --> 00:43:02.439
Jeezy: the ballroom, and now you have people like, man, he spoke about Featherman, which I can't… I… they need to go ahead and get him up out of that. I'm tired of him.

569
00:43:02.620 --> 00:43:04.479
Jeezy: But, I would say.

570
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:08.579
Chuck: found a way to do expulsion on him, because I'm sick of him.

571
00:43:08.580 --> 00:43:11.620
Jeezy: Bruh, get him some demeris and send him the ISS.

572
00:43:11.620 --> 00:43:14.350
Manny: merits.

573
00:43:15.070 --> 00:43:28.770
Jeezy: Send him away. But, you know, you already have this gathering of support, not completely, totally across the board, but you're having people, especially politicians and congressmen, that are saying, hey, yeah, we need to go ahead and have this ballroom.

574
00:43:29.070 --> 00:43:35.410
Jeezy: This may have been the distraction, if stage, that Trump wanted to push through, his ballroom, and will…

575
00:43:35.640 --> 00:43:37.000
Jeezy: We'll see what happens.

576
00:43:37.510 --> 00:43:53.049
Manny: A couple things I think will be interesting to watch is, you know, when this comes out, you guys are gonna be listening the same day, that Cole is going to be in… arraigned in court. What charges they eventually stick on him.

577
00:43:53.570 --> 00:44:00.950
Manny: That'll be interesting. And then the other question that's lingering around this is, they're going to reschedule the dinner.

578
00:44:01.290 --> 00:44:05.399
Manny: So, where… where's it going to be this time?

579
00:44:05.990 --> 00:44:18.119
Manny: And what does that look at… what does that look like? And what can we expect legislatively to happen? Will Republicans use this to try to force through DHS funding?

580
00:44:18.260 --> 00:44:22.369
Manny: You know, is there some other funding they'll appropriate for the ballroom?

581
00:44:22.370 --> 00:44:23.770
Chuck: Manny!

582
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:27.570
Chuck: You just made a light bulb go off, brother.

583
00:44:27.570 --> 00:44:28.010
Jeezy: -Oh.

584
00:44:28.010 --> 00:44:28.700
Manny: You're welcome.

585
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:29.960
Manny: You're welcome.

586
00:44:31.170 --> 00:44:34.530
Chuck: You know what just got killed in the, in the house?

587
00:44:34.530 --> 00:44:35.650
Manny: A week ago?

588
00:44:37.740 --> 00:44:51.889
Chuck: FISA got killed when they tried to… Mike Johnson tried to get a midnight vote on it, and the essence of this was surveillance and, surveilling American citizens on the homeland.

589
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:53.030
Chuck: many…

590
00:44:53.030 --> 00:44:53.520
Manny: Never.

591
00:44:53.520 --> 00:44:54.219
Chuck: Gosh, darn it.

592
00:44:54.220 --> 00:44:59.060
Manny: Never let a good crisis go to waste.

593
00:44:59.890 --> 00:45:00.320
Jeezy: Bruh.

594
00:45:01.260 --> 00:45:02.649
Chuck: You just did it, brother.

595
00:45:02.940 --> 00:45:03.630
Jeezy: Bing.

596
00:45:05.130 --> 00:45:05.450
Chuck: Amen.

597
00:45:05.450 --> 00:45:09.719
Manny: Doctor Strange. I looked… popped out that time stone and said.

598
00:45:09.720 --> 00:45:15.810
Chuck: I'm sorry, sorry to just, like, spring on it. As you were talking about it, I was like, you… you…

599
00:45:16.140 --> 00:45:18.029
Chuck: You know what, just went down the…

600
00:45:18.650 --> 00:45:19.200
Manny: Hmm.

601
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:20.220
Chuck: Yeah.

602
00:45:20.670 --> 00:45:22.059
Jeezy: Game that is played.

603
00:45:22.060 --> 00:45:28.840
Chuck: the games that… Lord, bless me with a couple hundred million dollars so I can play the game.

604
00:45:29.190 --> 00:45:33.770
Chuck: And if they take me out, everybody know I will never, ever kill myself.

605
00:45:33.770 --> 00:45:36.489
Jeezy: Yeah, you gotta pull the Jesse Smooth Smooth Late.

606
00:45:36.630 --> 00:45:38.189
Manny: I am not suicidal.

607
00:45:38.770 --> 00:45:42.249
Chuck: Not suicidal. Ever, ever. Ever, ever.

608
00:45:42.250 --> 00:45:43.829
Jeezy: Gotta let it be known.

609
00:45:44.450 --> 00:45:47.810
Jeezy: Well, unfortunately, Jeffrey Epstein didn't get that message out before his time, so…

610
00:45:48.270 --> 00:45:49.239
Manny: With that being said.

611
00:45:49.240 --> 00:45:49.690
Jeezy: kid.

612
00:45:49.690 --> 00:45:50.070
Manny: Hmm.

613
00:45:50.070 --> 00:45:52.369
Chuck: You don't need to when you're chilling in Israel.

614
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:53.140
Jeezy: Brick.

615
00:45:53.140 --> 00:45:53.870
Manny: Hmm.

616
00:45:54.820 --> 00:45:56.970
Jeezy: So he's right there with Big Benny.

617
00:45:56.970 --> 00:45:58.740
Manny: No, he's not.

618
00:45:58.740 --> 00:46:01.770
Chuck: No, he's alive.

619
00:46:01.770 --> 00:46:02.799
Jeezy: I'm sorry, brother.

620
00:46:03.240 --> 00:46:03.920
Manny: I'm…

621
00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:08.410
Jeezy: I got that great old elevator down below. Well.

622
00:46:08.910 --> 00:46:12.170
Manny: To our next topic.

623
00:46:12.170 --> 00:46:16.210
Jeezy: I think something that connects to this, when you think about the White House correspondence and…

624
00:46:16.470 --> 00:46:20.960
Jeezy: There's something that has taken place this week, and the next part of this.

625
00:46:21.450 --> 00:46:24.890
Jeezy: of this segment, we have someone taking a leave.

626
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:33.240
Jeezy: And I believe that routine leave may give us some real consequences. So, for those of you who don't know, Caroline Lovett.

627
00:46:33.590 --> 00:46:44.379
Jeezy: The current White House Press Secretary is stepping away, this week on maternity leave. So, first of all, I want to say, as much as I give Little Lip, Levitt.

628
00:46:45.730 --> 00:46:46.820
Jeezy: a headache.

629
00:46:46.970 --> 00:46:52.140
Jeezy: Do hope that she has a healthy, pregnancy, and.

630
00:46:52.140 --> 00:46:52.690
Chuck: Yes, sir.

631
00:46:52.690 --> 00:46:55.600
Jeezy: Mom is healthy, baby is healthy.

632
00:46:55.600 --> 00:46:56.380
Manny: Application with…

633
00:46:56.380 --> 00:46:57.080
Jeezy: whatsoever.

634
00:46:57.380 --> 00:47:11.810
Jeezy: Smooth. For sure. We've all been there as men that have been there to support our wives as, in that labor room. You want nothing but the best, so we're gonna definitely wish her here at the pie, best of luck in the.

635
00:47:11.980 --> 00:47:16.280
Jeezy: hopefully successful delivery of their baby, but…

636
00:47:17.040 --> 00:47:20.590
Jeezy: It's something that is normal, that we see happen all the time, but…

637
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:29.540
Jeezy: It could be interesting, because there is no clearly, defined permanent replacement stepping in while she's gone.

638
00:47:29.850 --> 00:47:31.119
Chuck: Lord, help us.

639
00:47:31.120 --> 00:47:45.639
Jeezy: So, for the daily translator of the president, who is running press briefings, responding to breaking news in real time, managing the administration's messaging, and acting as a bridge between the White House and the public.

640
00:47:45.640 --> 00:47:52.429
Jeezy: That person who… you can argue how good or bad of a job, but it's a tough job to do, regardless of how you view it.

641
00:47:53.000 --> 00:48:00.150
Jeezy: It's a tough job to do, but without having a clear replacement, Is this a serious problem?

642
00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:02.620
Manny: You know.

643
00:48:02.620 --> 00:48:04.900
Chuck: It depends on… it depends on how you want to look at it.

644
00:48:04.900 --> 00:48:09.590
Manny: It's all… you know, you fall to the level of your systems.

645
00:48:10.120 --> 00:48:11.170
Manny: So…

646
00:48:11.730 --> 00:48:26.050
Manny: you know, what… I think, in my head, when I found out that, you know, she was pregnant and would be taking time, I would assume that there's a dep… that the deputy press secretary get they call up to the… to the big leagues. Apparently, that's not happening.

647
00:48:26.570 --> 00:48:30.520
Manny: Nope. They are going to deal with this by committee.

648
00:48:31.070 --> 00:48:35.619
Jeezy: Bruh, what they got? Messengers by committee, what are they, Alabama?

649
00:48:35.620 --> 00:48:37.330
Manny: Right, so…

650
00:48:37.330 --> 00:48:40.159
Jeezy: I have a football program, and I got a running backs and committee.

651
00:48:40.380 --> 00:48:40.980
Chuck: Yes, sir.

652
00:48:40.980 --> 00:48:44.780
Manny: JD's apparently gonna be out there to speak, and then…

653
00:48:44.780 --> 00:48:47.459
Jeezy: Did you see one name that I thought was very interesting?

654
00:48:47.460 --> 00:48:48.000
Manny: Look.

655
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:49.369
Jeezy: Donnie, Donnie T.

656
00:48:50.200 --> 00:48:51.080
Jeezy: -Oh.

657
00:48:51.080 --> 00:48:53.820
Chuck: If anybody gonna speak, it's definitely gonna be him at some point.

658
00:48:53.820 --> 00:48:58.380
Jeezy: Bruh, Don and T, breaking the news is about to be crazy, bruh.

659
00:48:58.380 --> 00:48:59.580
Manny: Oh, no, even better.

660
00:48:59.820 --> 00:49:06.529
Manny: Donald Trump, the man himself, the man who falls asleep at his own meetings.

661
00:49:06.530 --> 00:49:07.070
Jeezy: Bruh.

662
00:49:07.070 --> 00:49:09.420
Manny: Will be handling his own press briefings.

663
00:49:09.870 --> 00:49:13.009
Manny: Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up. Dude, don't read briefings.

664
00:49:13.350 --> 00:49:17.229
Jeezy: Man who don't read briefings don't lead the press briefings.

665
00:49:17.230 --> 00:49:20.509
Chuck: Oh, man, the man who mess-ups his briefs.

666
00:49:21.210 --> 00:49:26.230
Jeezy: The same man, they said the same. Hey, that was a doctor photo of the Jesus that he went out there and said.

667
00:49:26.230 --> 00:49:26.940
Chuck: I'm a doctor.

668
00:49:26.940 --> 00:49:28.700
Jeezy: He is a doctor.

669
00:49:30.090 --> 00:49:31.370
Jeezy: Okay.

670
00:49:31.370 --> 00:49:44.080
Chuck: Oh, this is gonna be comical. That's why I say it depends on who you're asking, because for me and my house, we gonna laugh, because it's gonna be… it's gonna be so comical. And regardless of where you fall.

671
00:49:44.250 --> 00:49:55.670
Chuck: on what side of the aisle, wherever your politics are. If… the press secretary is one of the hardest jobs. I don't care if you have a competent president…

672
00:49:55.670 --> 00:49:57.650
Manny: It could be going well.

673
00:49:57.980 --> 00:49:58.470
Jeezy: rough.

674
00:49:58.470 --> 00:49:58.830
Chuck: Exactly.

675
00:49:58.830 --> 00:50:04.750
Manny: Exactly. Economy could be booming, job, low inflation.

676
00:50:04.750 --> 00:50:05.230
Chuck: Yes.

677
00:50:05.230 --> 00:50:13.160
Manny: Everyone's happy and singing kumbat. They're having rallies in the street because things are so good. Some… some reporter is gonna…

678
00:50:13.160 --> 00:50:14.399
Chuck: What are you going.

679
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:18.680
Manny: to do about the rice of tea in England.

680
00:50:18.880 --> 00:50:19.400
Chuck: Dear?

681
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:19.960
Manny: What?

682
00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:22.809
Chuck: There's gonna be some… there's gonna be something…

683
00:50:22.810 --> 00:50:23.480
Jeezy: Terrible.

684
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:26.849
Chuck: Every single time, and to have to…

685
00:50:26.970 --> 00:50:45.039
Chuck: as Jeezy put it perfectly, the translator of the White House, because that's what it is. You're the translator of the administration, you're providing… you're the mouthpiece, and to be able to do that and do it effectively is a tough… it's a tough position to be in, so,

686
00:50:45.530 --> 00:50:52.630
Chuck: you know, I salute her, because she shows up to work every day, and she showed up, and she's a fighter.

687
00:50:53.110 --> 00:50:53.500
Chuck: So…

688
00:50:53.500 --> 00:50:53.820
Jeezy: Sure.

689
00:50:54.720 --> 00:51:02.390
Chuck: Yeah, it's gonna be comical, man. It's gonna be so comical, because depending on who's up there, the temperaments of the individuals vary drastically.

690
00:51:02.390 --> 00:51:04.289
Jeezy: Very drast, bruh.

691
00:51:04.290 --> 00:51:05.840
Chuck: Drastically.

692
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:11.780
Jeezy: Because you can get a person like J.D. Vance, and for the most part, he can handle himself pretty well.

693
00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:12.530
Chuck: Yeah.

694
00:51:13.520 --> 00:51:17.650
Jeezy: Trump can't. We know Trump can't. Marco, definitely. Marco, definitely.

695
00:51:17.950 --> 00:51:23.080
Jeezy: But once you cross JD and Marco off that list, it started to get real…

696
00:51:24.210 --> 00:51:26.790
Chuck: It's ugly. Stephen Miller can't keep himself together.

697
00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:27.740
Jeezy: Best…

698
00:51:28.940 --> 00:51:32.789
Manny: Secretary, the Treasury Secretary, Bessett, he'll be fine. Yeah, he'll be fine.

699
00:51:33.060 --> 00:51:33.490
Chuck: Oh, no,

700
00:51:33.490 --> 00:51:36.190
Jeezy: Well, he might be… he might be on that, the next tier down.

701
00:51:36.190 --> 00:51:36.950
Manny: Stadium, Mark.

702
00:51:36.950 --> 00:51:39.490
Jeezy: He's the top of the goal third. Yeah, because he can get a little.

703
00:51:39.490 --> 00:51:39.840
Chuck: That's my…

704
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:40.520
Jeezy: too.

705
00:51:40.520 --> 00:51:43.480
Chuck: But he's not really set to come off the bench and…

706
00:51:44.440 --> 00:51:44.950
Chuck: their lives.

707
00:51:44.950 --> 00:51:45.700
Jeezy: I don't see him.

708
00:51:45.700 --> 00:51:46.030
Chuck: Yeah.

709
00:51:46.030 --> 00:51:56.029
Jeezy: He be trying to fight people when he get in disagreement, so do you really want? We hear at least once a month that he about to put hands on somebody behind the scenes that he done got pissed off with.

710
00:51:56.030 --> 00:51:56.810
Chuck: Exactly.

711
00:51:56.810 --> 00:52:00.010
Jeezy: I want them out there with the wolves, with them reporters? .

712
00:52:01.080 --> 00:52:06.200
Jeezy: Again, he's better than Trump, and to what Chuck just said, the person Chuck just mentioned.

713
00:52:06.300 --> 00:52:08.790
Jeezy: Stephen Miller gotta be as far away.

714
00:52:09.390 --> 00:52:10.619
Jeezy: From that microphone.

715
00:52:10.620 --> 00:52:11.060
Manny: Bro.

716
00:52:11.380 --> 00:52:16.899
Jeezy: As possible, because the temperament of that man It's so terrible.

717
00:52:17.740 --> 00:52:22.389
Jeezy: And it's crazy, because all you gotta do is get him on one little thing.

718
00:52:22.390 --> 00:52:23.430
Manny: He's gonna lose it.

719
00:52:23.430 --> 00:52:24.970
Jeezy: He's gonna lose it.

720
00:52:25.510 --> 00:52:32.279
Jeezy: he get that look… the only person that has as much of an evil look as Stephen Miller is Erica Kirk. I'm sorry.

721
00:52:32.680 --> 00:52:34.629
Chuck: Them two. They're looking at me.

722
00:52:34.630 --> 00:52:38.370
Jeezy: either you just see hate. I'm sorry, I don't care what they say.

723
00:52:38.770 --> 00:52:40.600
Jeezy: You're gonna see hate.

724
00:52:40.600 --> 00:52:43.809
Manny: There is one thing that I am rooting for.

725
00:52:43.930 --> 00:52:46.869
Manny: For to happen during this time more than anything else.

726
00:52:46.870 --> 00:52:47.320
Jeezy: -Oh.

727
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:52.159
Manny: Our listeners at home need to also be rooting for this scenario.

728
00:52:52.730 --> 00:52:56.269
Manny: Geez, Chuck, I don't know if y'all remember, but at the start of this administration.

729
00:52:57.310 --> 00:53:00.249
Manny: The administration put out a call for podcasts.

730
00:53:01.350 --> 00:53:01.870
Jeezy: A.

731
00:53:01.870 --> 00:53:03.110
Manny: to sign up.

732
00:53:03.460 --> 00:53:04.810
Manny: An opportunity.

733
00:53:05.030 --> 00:53:07.310
Jeezy: I'm still pissed about it. I thought about that the other day.

734
00:53:07.840 --> 00:53:09.490
Manny: Oh, we put in our stuff!

735
00:53:09.490 --> 00:53:11.280
Jeezy: Oh yeah, I know, but we ain't got nothing.

736
00:53:12.650 --> 00:53:17.509
Manny: But look… If we get call… if our number gets called during this time.

737
00:53:17.510 --> 00:53:18.200
Jeezy: Ayy.

738
00:53:18.760 --> 00:53:21.150
Chuck: Y'all can call me phony, you can call me fake.

739
00:53:21.150 --> 00:53:22.320
Manny: You can type with.

740
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:23.989
Chuck: People I hate.

741
00:53:23.990 --> 00:53:25.190
Manny: But that would be at…

742
00:53:25.190 --> 00:53:26.330
Chuck: Show it out.

743
00:53:26.810 --> 00:53:31.339
Jeezy: Boy's about to be up there. You'll see, you'll see.

744
00:53:31.340 --> 00:53:35.629
Manny: y'all to know that we are not suicidal. Nope.

745
00:53:35.630 --> 00:53:36.580
Chuck: Not at all.

746
00:53:36.580 --> 00:53:40.969
Manny: I do not eat seafood, nor are any of us of the size

747
00:53:41.390 --> 00:53:46.139
Manny: We are looking forward to sky jumping in any time in the direct near future.

748
00:53:46.140 --> 00:53:49.209
Jeezy: Hey, hey, Chuck, manager brought up something that I gotta share.

749
00:53:49.410 --> 00:53:51.760
Jeezy: When he said it, he said he don't eat seafood.

750
00:53:52.700 --> 00:53:53.960
Chuck: -Oh.

751
00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:56.480
Jeezy: We were at an award ceremony. The award ceremony.

752
00:53:56.480 --> 00:53:56.920
Manny: Bruh.

753
00:53:56.920 --> 00:53:59.600
Jeezy: ago, and they're bringing out the police, right?

754
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:07.839
Jeezy: And everybody played, and I'm like, yo, me and Manny had already discussed, like, this plate could go either way. Either gonna be really cheap or really good.

755
00:54:08.140 --> 00:54:09.400
Jeezy: It was really good.

756
00:54:09.650 --> 00:54:13.059
Jeezy: But the lady that sat the plate down in front of Manny, and Manny goes.

757
00:54:13.180 --> 00:54:18.800
Jeezy: And I'm like, what? Like, bro, the food look good. It's, it's, braised rib and short.

758
00:54:18.800 --> 00:54:19.470
Manny: ribs.

759
00:54:19.470 --> 00:54:22.220
Jeezy: Ribs, you know, garlic mashed potatoes.

760
00:54:22.740 --> 00:54:26.809
Jeezy: Skewered shrimp, and roasted asparagus. And when that lady laid down.

761
00:54:26.810 --> 00:54:28.650
Chuck: That shrimp in front of him, bruh.

762
00:54:28.710 --> 00:54:34.680
Manny: That skewer shrimp was… it was laid real pretty. Like, it was a very picturesque plate.

763
00:54:34.970 --> 00:54:38.120
Jeezy: I looked at him, because he looked at me, and I'm like, what? Like, bro, it looks.

764
00:54:38.120 --> 00:54:39.809
Chuck: Really good with me? He was like.

765
00:54:39.810 --> 00:54:41.489
Jeezy: bruh, it's shrimp, and I was like.

766
00:54:42.930 --> 00:54:45.800
Chuck: Committee saw the guillotine.

767
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:47.030
Manny: you.

768
00:54:47.030 --> 00:54:48.530
Jeezy: The establishment tried to get him, bro.

769
00:54:49.400 --> 00:54:56.230
Jeezy: Now, the funny thing is, Manny, I will say to this, and then we'll keep moving on. When you… when we sent the playback, we were like, you know, he can't have it.

770
00:54:56.340 --> 00:55:00.440
Jeezy: I am interested, did they just take that shrimp off that plate and bring it back out to you?

771
00:55:00.440 --> 00:55:01.120
Manny: Bruh.

772
00:55:01.510 --> 00:55:05.749
Jeezy: That would still have some of the residual of the shrimp on it, and you survived.

773
00:55:05.750 --> 00:55:06.880
Manny: I did, I did.

774
00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:09.979
Jeezy: I'm telling you, you might have grown that… you might have grown that allergy, bruh.

775
00:55:09.980 --> 00:55:10.570
Manny: Right.

776
00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:12.100
Chuck: Or…

777
00:55:12.100 --> 00:55:12.740
Jeezy: tested.

778
00:55:12.990 --> 00:55:15.890
Chuck: That's a lawsuit. I'm just saying.

779
00:55:16.700 --> 00:55:19.710
Manny: I'm just… Welcome to… welcome to the Manny.

780
00:55:19.870 --> 00:55:21.910
Manny: In a student center.

781
00:55:21.910 --> 00:55:24.650
Jeezy: And if you don't… if you don't make the list, Manny?

782
00:55:24.870 --> 00:55:25.840
Jeezy: lawsuit.

783
00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:26.650
Manny: Bye.

784
00:55:27.180 --> 00:55:28.810
Manny: That's all we gotta do, man, that's all.

785
00:55:30.930 --> 00:55:31.460
Chuck: Damn.

786
00:55:31.460 --> 00:55:34.669
Jeezy: Man, that was funny to me, but I had to share that, but…

787
00:55:34.670 --> 00:55:35.490
Manny: Oh, man.

788
00:55:35.700 --> 00:55:45.040
Jeezy: You know, with Lovett, and talking about the Cabinet of Chaos right now, you know, we had the Correspondence Dinner, right? We had Lovett.

789
00:55:45.160 --> 00:55:53.270
Jeezy: Who is out, and we have these, deputies of, by committee that are gonna try to run this thing. I don't know how long they say she's gonna be out.

790
00:55:53.470 --> 00:55:55.370
Jeezy: If I were you, love it.

791
00:55:55.650 --> 00:55:56.910
Jeezy: I wouldn't come back.

792
00:55:57.350 --> 00:56:01.540
Jeezy: I'mma just keep it a bean with you. The way it's gonna look when she come back…

793
00:56:01.990 --> 00:56:03.350
Manny: And, at this.

794
00:56:03.350 --> 00:56:03.700
Chuck: point.

795
00:56:03.700 --> 00:56:08.569
Manny: I mean, she probably has enough information to write a fire book.

796
00:56:08.570 --> 00:56:09.120
Jeezy: Oh, bruh.

797
00:56:09.120 --> 00:56:12.280
Chuck: Oh, that memoir would be… Best seller.

798
00:56:12.430 --> 00:56:12.980
Chuck: Easily.

799
00:56:12.980 --> 00:56:18.589
Manny: And look, look, there's a blueprint out there. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is now the governor.

800
00:56:18.820 --> 00:56:20.129
Manny: It is Arkansas.

801
00:56:20.730 --> 00:56:21.710
Chuck: Arcane, though.

802
00:56:21.710 --> 00:56:26.110
Manny: No hate to… no hate to our Kansas, but she did…

803
00:56:26.390 --> 00:56:28.829
Manny: become the governor of an entire state, so…

804
00:56:28.830 --> 00:56:31.369
Chuck: Walking around with a curtain on.

805
00:56:32.190 --> 00:56:35.190
Chuck: That dress she had on was so terrible, I'm sorry.

806
00:56:36.140 --> 00:56:39.680
Jeezy: Nevermind. They say if you ain't got nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all, so I'm just gonna…

807
00:56:39.680 --> 00:56:42.270
Chuck: You're right. I was talking about the curtain, not her.

808
00:56:42.270 --> 00:56:42.670
Jeezy: Hey.

809
00:56:42.670 --> 00:56:43.710
Chuck: I'm in the dress.

810
00:56:43.710 --> 00:56:44.930
Jeezy: I was gonna talk about her, but…

811
00:56:48.460 --> 00:56:52.960
Jeezy: But I'mma, I'mma hold my peace.

812
00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:55.269
Chuck: Let the Lord fight your battle, brother. Let the Lord…

813
00:56:55.270 --> 00:57:03.040
Jeezy: But when we talk about the cabinet and the chaos they're experiencing this week, in this segment, we already have the correspondence there, we have Lovett that is leaving.

814
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:11.699
Jeezy: there's more chaos to go around. And the next person… I think this might have been the first week that multiple.

815
00:57:11.700 --> 00:57:12.400
Manny: Ask.

816
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:15.089
Jeezy: of this cabinet was on fire.

817
00:57:15.090 --> 00:57:16.450
Manny: All simultaneously.

818
00:57:16.450 --> 00:57:31.429
Jeezy: It might be, like, one this week, one… this literally… that's why this segment is the cabinet of chaos, because literally each… there's multiple aspects of this that are experienced, and one of the individuals we're gonna talk about, we've already mentioned before in a previous episode.

819
00:57:31.740 --> 00:57:38.630
Jeezy: We mentioned him earlier in this episode, and now he's having another issue as well, and that is Cash App Patel.

820
00:57:39.130 --> 00:57:46.639
Jeezy: Again, dealing with multiple layers of controversy, and each one by themselves would be a problem, but together…

821
00:57:46.640 --> 00:57:47.490
Manny: It's amazing.

822
00:57:48.810 --> 00:58:02.859
Jeezy: So we know that, you know, he had the issue with, you know, the drinking came up, last week, and, you know, there were reports that he thought that he had lost his job, and he was calling the White House because he was locked out of the system.

823
00:58:02.860 --> 00:58:20.030
Jeezy: He said that was all a lie. Well, the first issue, reports, surfaced about his alleged drinking habits, including claims tied to his past arrest situation. Apparently, I believe it was in a bar, I want to say in his bar in, like, 2004, it was reported…

824
00:58:20.030 --> 00:58:20.920
Manny: Destin 5.

825
00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:29.029
Jeezy: 2005. It was reported that, he had two instances of, being arrested for, public intoxication.

826
00:58:29.400 --> 00:58:31.700
Jeezy: And I forgot what the other one was, but it was linked to.

827
00:58:31.700 --> 00:58:34.799
Manny: Oh, I… I did not. Public urination.

828
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:41.269
Jeezy: There we go. There we go. Bed came out of the bar, had to relieve himself. Guess they didn't have a bathroom in there.

829
00:58:41.270 --> 00:58:42.939
Manny: And he said, he came out.

830
00:58:42.940 --> 00:58:43.330
Chuck: I can't.

831
00:58:43.330 --> 00:58:52.250
Manny: Both of these incidents are not representative of my usual conduct, and I duly apologize for my inappropriate behavior.

832
00:58:53.180 --> 00:58:54.830
Manny: Hey, at least he apologized, man.

833
00:58:54.830 --> 00:58:58.070
Chuck: Listen, I got… I gotta put a cape on.

834
00:58:58.910 --> 00:59:01.310
Chuck: Some 10… almost 10 years ago.

835
00:59:02.220 --> 00:59:05.530
Chuck: In the wild streets of, DC.

836
00:59:07.110 --> 00:59:10.280
Chuck: After leaving out of Ben's Chili Bowl.

837
00:59:11.870 --> 00:59:21.369
Chuck: On a foray with a group of well-groomed individuals celebrating the impending nuptials of one good brother.

838
00:59:21.370 --> 00:59:22.230
Manny: Yes, sir.

839
00:59:22.710 --> 00:59:23.970
Chuck: I, myself.

840
00:59:23.970 --> 00:59:29.740
Manny: Went down the alleyway.

841
00:59:29.740 --> 00:59:37.140
Chuck: So, after, after, a raucous… Route of bar hopping.

842
00:59:39.450 --> 00:59:41.189
Manny: It was rough, bro.

843
00:59:41.840 --> 00:59:49.029
Chuck: To the point my good brothers had to, piece together the ending of the night for me.

844
00:59:51.630 --> 00:59:56.319
Chuck: So on that end, I can't… can't fault him too much. Too much.

845
00:59:56.320 --> 00:59:58.559
Jeezy: But you can't get caught doing it, bruh, that's the thing.

846
00:59:58.560 --> 01:00:01.650
Chuck: You can't get caught. That's the key. I did not get caught.

847
01:00:01.650 --> 01:00:07.449
Jeezy: We all done been there before, bruh, but you can't get caught. So really, Cash App, you need to blame your friends, because who are your friends that won't.

848
01:00:07.450 --> 01:00:07.820
Chuck: Exactly.

849
01:00:07.820 --> 01:00:10.569
Jeezy: I didn't have a lookout for you to make sure you didn't get caught.

850
01:00:10.570 --> 01:00:12.489
Chuck: My folks protecting me, yup. There you go.

851
01:00:12.490 --> 01:00:22.310
Manny: And the other one was in 2001 at the University of Richmond, where he was arrested for public intoxication underage at a basketball game.

852
01:00:22.510 --> 01:00:23.100
Manny: And…

853
01:00:23.100 --> 01:00:28.570
Chuck: I can control my liquor. I can control my liquor. If I can't do nothing, I can control my liquor.

854
01:00:28.570 --> 01:00:29.689
Jeezy: ball game, you couldn't handle it.

855
01:00:29.690 --> 01:00:30.750
Manny: Basketball game.

856
01:00:31.390 --> 01:00:44.319
Jeezy: I mean, hey, that may signal to some of the reporting that we've heard about how you, you know, during the day, you drunk, you're acting, you know, erratic with your behavior. I mean, there could be a connection there.

857
01:00:44.730 --> 01:00:47.270
Jeezy: Well, you know that he filed a lawsuit.

858
01:00:48.460 --> 01:00:48.830
Chuck: Yes.

859
01:00:49.130 --> 01:00:50.080
Manny: Yes.

860
01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:55.140
Jeezy: But just like, the leader of his, the leader of his group.

861
01:00:55.530 --> 01:00:57.719
Manny: It was dismissed.

862
01:00:58.280 --> 01:00:59.370
Manny: Oh, they've already dismissed.

863
01:00:59.370 --> 01:01:01.870
Chuck: Well, there's two lawsuits.

864
01:01:02.290 --> 01:01:02.630
Jeezy: Yes, sir.

865
01:01:02.630 --> 01:01:03.309
Chuck: There's two losses.

866
01:01:03.310 --> 01:01:04.569
Jeezy: All of them was dismissed.

867
01:01:04.710 --> 01:01:10.729
Chuck: Yes. So the first lawsuit that he filed, against Frank.

868
01:01:11.030 --> 01:01:14.379
Chuck: Fig Luzizzi, whatever your name is.

869
01:01:14.380 --> 01:01:15.050
Manny: from Gazy.

870
01:01:15.590 --> 01:01:16.350
Chuck: Who gaze.

871
01:01:16.900 --> 01:01:19.190
Chuck: That one was dismissed.

872
01:01:19.540 --> 01:01:21.740
Chuck: He filed a second lawsuit.

873
01:01:22.110 --> 01:01:26.749
Chuck: a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic.

874
01:01:27.290 --> 01:01:38.000
Chuck: In regards to their reporting of his, paranoia of being fired and being drunk, during the day.

875
01:01:38.520 --> 01:01:48.690
Chuck: of being drunk a lot, and his dealings as acting FBI director, which you… the comments and things that you said earlier, that's what they're…

876
01:01:48.830 --> 01:02:07.319
Chuck: That's what he filed a lawsuit against. The one for Frank… Frank is the one who made the comment that, Patel was seen out more at a bar than he was in the office at the FBI building. And the judge said, man, get this mess out of here. That was rhetorical rhetoric.

877
01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:08.640
Manny: Those rhetorical.

878
01:02:08.640 --> 01:02:13.420
Chuck: Any, any, he said any good-thinking person would not take that literally.

879
01:02:13.590 --> 01:02:20.140
Chuck: And dismiss that case with prejudice. But it's… yeah, and the one with… I guess, The Atlantic is essentially…

880
01:02:20.260 --> 01:02:36.309
Chuck: gonna be the same, because they're citing sources. They did not directly say, oh, he is da-da-da-da. According to these individuals, and there are things in place, and laws in place to protect these individuals.

881
01:02:36.850 --> 01:02:40.710
Chuck: That's what they were doing. So you're making yourself look bad.

882
01:02:40.710 --> 01:02:46.210
Manny: But ultimately, all this is doing is just recruiting more sources for the news.

883
01:02:46.210 --> 01:02:47.980
Chuck: Let's go for it. Let's go for it.

884
01:02:47.980 --> 01:02:53.520
Jeezy: So when you look at the dismissal and the potential arrival of the second dismissal.

885
01:02:54.110 --> 01:02:56.519
Jeezy: Does this make the situation look worse for Patel?

886
01:02:56.880 --> 01:03:03.030
Chuck: Oh, for sure, especially with these confessions. Oh, yeah. You had a drinking problem, For 20 plus years.

887
01:03:05.170 --> 01:03:10.210
Manny: And on top of that, I know you guys might be shocked to hear me say this, but…

888
01:03:10.740 --> 01:03:12.820
Manny: I don't think he's that good at his job.

889
01:03:14.250 --> 01:03:20.099
Chuck: Man, how you gonna give that man that performance review? He deserves better than that.

890
01:03:20.240 --> 01:03:21.800
Manny: Maybe…

891
01:03:21.800 --> 01:03:23.499
Jeezy: Maybe he would be better if he won on the bottle.

892
01:03:25.050 --> 01:03:28.920
Manny: And so much so, there are active… rumors.

893
01:03:29.110 --> 01:03:33.900
Manny: that are going out, I think Politico was the first to report it, is that

894
01:03:34.120 --> 01:03:39.989
Manny: This man gone… y'all could be listening to this podcast, listeners, y'all could be listening to this.

895
01:03:40.150 --> 01:03:42.089
Manny: And this man's already been fired.

896
01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:55.320
Manny: So… now, I don't know… those reports were coming in before everything about the Correspondence Dinner, so I don't know how this changes it, but it is… it is highly rumored that he is not going to make it through next week.

897
01:03:56.000 --> 01:03:59.939
Chuck: Oh, I believe it. I believe it. Oh, and just to, just to,

898
01:04:00.340 --> 01:04:03.090
Chuck: Back up the point that you just made.

899
01:04:03.580 --> 01:04:20.800
Chuck: the Atlantic staffer, Sarah Fitzpatrick, says she stands by every single word of this report, and she has been inundated with responses, including from government officials, reaffirming her report. Play with fire, you will get burned.

900
01:04:20.800 --> 01:04:21.500
Jeezy: Mmm.

901
01:04:21.500 --> 01:04:24.960
Manny: Like Lin-Manuel Miranda said in Hamilton.

902
01:04:25.880 --> 01:04:31.029
Manny: I stand by what I said. Every bit of it.

903
01:04:31.030 --> 01:04:45.599
Jeezy: Well, I think that we're at a point for Cash App, and I think that his exit may be, coming sooner than later, is because I think with everything that's coming out now, it's going from messy to potentially dangerous, because…

904
01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:47.770
Jeezy: the, FBI…

905
01:04:48.190 --> 01:04:59.289
Jeezy: which is the agency that Patel leads, reportedly launched an investigation into a journalist. I don't know if you guys have heard about this. The reporter's name is Elizabeth Williamson from the New York Times.

906
01:04:59.450 --> 01:05:07.880
Jeezy: And, it stems from a story where she wrote, allegedly, that Patel may have used FBI resources, like protection and transportation.

907
01:05:08.140 --> 01:05:11.920
Jeezy: For his girlfriend, which is country singer Alex, Wilkins.

908
01:05:12.090 --> 01:05:12.880
Chuck: -Oh.

909
01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:21.720
Jeezy: According to the reports, FBI agents didn't just review the story, they allegedly searched internal databases for information on the reporter herself.

910
01:05:22.250 --> 01:05:29.739
Jeezy: And even exploded, explored whether her reporting could qualify as federal stalking violations.

911
01:05:31.700 --> 01:05:38.709
Jeezy: So now, Patel has denied all this. He's denied it. He addressed it on Fox News with Sean Hannity, saying it's a media attack.

912
01:05:41.150 --> 01:05:44.050
Chuck: You know who else about to give him a media attack?

913
01:05:44.620 --> 01:05:47.480
Chuck: Donald J. Trump, you make it the block high.

914
01:05:47.480 --> 01:05:48.910
Manny: You making it, you're making a move, man?

915
01:05:48.910 --> 01:05:50.139
Chuck: Christie! That's what happened.

916
01:05:50.530 --> 01:05:51.800
Chuck: Making them look bad?

917
01:05:51.800 --> 01:05:52.140
Jeezy: But, bro.

918
01:05:52.140 --> 01:05:52.650
Chuck: Gotta go.

919
01:05:53.410 --> 01:06:09.599
Jeezy: that's dangerous that a reporter… all a reporter did was report on something, which they're saying, like, she's getting, like, top secret, you know, top, like, security when she's at certain places, and there have been former FBI directors that have definitely said, yeah, that is not how it works, like.

920
01:06:09.600 --> 01:06:17.640
Jeezy: Even if my wife was with me and I was with somewhere, she definitely has the security, because she's with me, like, you're with me.

921
01:06:17.750 --> 01:06:33.300
Jeezy: But on your own? Oh, no. No, that's not how that works, that's not how that operates. And this reporting of her getting this when she's at events, when she's at certain, you know, venues that he's basically sending and using FBI resources for her protection…

922
01:06:33.300 --> 01:06:37.639
Chuck: You know he tender. He tender. This ain't… this ain't anything about her protection.

923
01:06:37.920 --> 01:06:38.309
Jeezy: Just keep.

924
01:06:38.310 --> 01:06:40.129
Chuck: denying her, making sure she ain't…

925
01:06:40.130 --> 01:06:47.979
Jeezy: Well, if you've ever seen the young lady, she's a very beautiful young lady, and I wouldn't say she's one that you would think that,

926
01:06:48.270 --> 01:06:51.290
Jeezy: Cash App would pull in his wheelhouse, I'll say that.

927
01:06:51.290 --> 01:06:53.019
Chuck: Hey, buddy.

928
01:06:53.020 --> 01:06:54.239
Manny: But you know what?

929
01:06:54.580 --> 01:06:58.280
Manny: Sometimes people just, you know, you…

930
01:06:58.280 --> 01:06:59.959
Jeezy: He's younger than him, too, so…

931
01:07:00.110 --> 01:07:01.860
Jeezy: I think she's quite young than he is.

932
01:07:01.860 --> 01:07:03.709
Manny: Not this administration… someone in this administration.

933
01:07:03.710 --> 01:07:04.460
Jeezy: Oh, you know, you got it.

934
01:07:04.460 --> 01:07:05.269
Manny: Maybe younger than me.

935
01:07:05.270 --> 01:07:12.660
Jeezy: Gotta keep them young, gotta keep them young. I'm not this administration. You're the boy that sit around on Friday drinking that burger.

936
01:07:12.660 --> 01:07:15.549
Chuck: Like, you guys, like…

937
01:07:15.550 --> 01:07:19.250
Jeezy: Like, they Pokemon cards, yeah, look at this one I got.

938
01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:24.949
Manny: Well, here's the one thing that I want to call out about a good old Cash App.

939
01:07:25.520 --> 01:07:31.890
Manny: In this last 10 years, Well, I guess now it's 11, because it's really started in 2015 with Trump.

940
01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:41.350
Manny: We've… from… when Donald Trump entered the national political scene, he's given us some all-time classics and nicknames.

941
01:07:42.510 --> 01:07:49.500
Manny: But dare I say, We have a generational nickname that came out for Cash App.

942
01:07:49.930 --> 01:07:52.829
Manny: and J. Edgar Boozer.

943
01:07:53.130 --> 01:07:53.830
Jeezy: Bruh.

944
01:07:53.830 --> 01:08:01.679
Manny: And… That's just fantastic. Whoever came up with that, I mean, touche, moi, chef's kiss.

945
01:08:01.680 --> 01:08:05.740
Chuck: And they coupled Pete with them and called him the Liquor Cabinet. The Liquor Cabinet.

946
01:08:06.040 --> 01:08:08.199
Jeezy: The liquor cabinet is crazy.

947
01:08:08.200 --> 01:08:09.020
Chuck: Awful.

948
01:08:09.020 --> 01:08:09.450
Manny: fire.

949
01:08:09.450 --> 01:08:18.000
Jeezy: Again, two of your top officials when it comes to your national security, and… They both… to have.

950
01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:21.139
Manny: They on that stuff. They on that stuff.

951
01:08:21.149 --> 01:08:22.559
Jeezy: Can't get off that bottle.

952
01:08:22.560 --> 01:08:23.200
Manny: You're kidding me?

953
01:08:23.200 --> 01:08:26.139
Jeezy: Keep your hand off the neck of that bottle, you might be alright.

954
01:08:27.729 --> 01:08:32.369
Jeezy: I think that we've already answered this question, but I think we can collectively say.

955
01:08:32.519 --> 01:08:38.949
Jeezy: Does Cash App Patel survive this politically, or is this the beginning of the end? And I think we all can agree in saying.

956
01:08:38.950 --> 01:08:41.479
Manny: It's over now. Yeah.

957
01:08:42.859 --> 01:08:44.700
Manny: Play them off, keyboard cat.

958
01:08:44.700 --> 01:08:45.350
Chuck: Yes, sir.

959
01:08:46.069 --> 01:08:47.119
Chuck: That's it? Simple as that.

960
01:08:47.120 --> 01:08:48.509
Jeezy: It's over now.

961
01:08:50.199 --> 01:08:52.029
Chuck: Doo, do, doo.

962
01:08:52.029 --> 01:08:56.489
Jeezy: Cash up. It was good, but I don't think you're gonna make it to summer, buddy.

963
01:08:57.040 --> 01:08:57.760
Manny: That's alright.

964
01:08:57.950 --> 01:08:58.500
Jeezy: It's okay.

965
01:08:58.680 --> 01:09:02.100
Manny: It's alright, yeah. You got enough information to write you a book, too.

966
01:09:02.100 --> 01:09:02.430
Jeezy: Hey.

967
01:09:02.430 --> 01:09:04.689
Manny: People leaving this administration.

968
01:09:04.859 --> 01:09:05.479
Jeezy: Yep.

969
01:09:06.930 --> 01:09:12.200
Manny: I'm wondering how crazy these NDAs are that they're having to sign.

970
01:09:12.200 --> 01:09:14.800
Jeezy: Just don't be stupid and drop all these books at one time.

971
01:09:14.800 --> 01:09:15.130
Manny: Oh, yeah.

972
01:09:15.130 --> 01:09:16.660
Jeezy: Space Mount. Yeah.

973
01:09:16.660 --> 01:09:17.500
Manny: a year.

974
01:09:17.500 --> 01:09:18.619
Jeezy: full attention.

975
01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:25.590
Jeezy: But, with that being said, when it comes to the Cabinet of Chaos, But wait!

976
01:09:25.790 --> 01:09:26.620
Jeezy: There's more.

977
01:09:27.220 --> 01:09:28.933
Chuck: No way!

978
01:09:30.240 --> 01:09:31.770
Jeezy: We could not leave you.

979
01:09:32.710 --> 01:09:36.340
Jeezy: Without speaking about… This individual.

980
01:09:37.819 --> 01:09:39.200
Jeezy: RFK Jr.

981
01:09:39.200 --> 01:09:40.720
Manny: Bobby.

982
01:09:41.020 --> 01:09:42.550
Manny: Oh, Bobby.

983
01:09:42.550 --> 01:09:44.370
Jeezy: Bobby had some.

984
01:09:44.370 --> 01:09:45.249
Chuck: Get it in.

985
01:09:45.250 --> 01:09:47.669
Manny: Not to be confused with Pope Bobby.

986
01:09:47.670 --> 01:09:48.220
Jeezy: No.

987
01:09:49.120 --> 01:09:50.840
Jeezy: Or Bobby from King of the Hill.

988
01:09:50.840 --> 01:09:53.110
Manny: Nope. Or Bobby Brown.

989
01:09:53.350 --> 01:09:55.310
Jeezy: Or maybe I'm afraid of it.

990
01:09:56.330 --> 01:09:58.609
Chuck: Or you… I mean, you could confuse it with Bobby Brown.

991
01:09:59.510 --> 01:10:00.949
Jeezy: You know what?

992
01:10:00.950 --> 01:10:02.290
Manny: Right. You're right.

993
01:10:02.930 --> 01:10:03.849
Jeezy: We had a plan.

994
01:10:03.850 --> 01:10:06.120
Chuck: New York in Baum!

995
01:10:07.060 --> 01:10:07.760
Chuck: Sorry.

996
01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:08.460
Jeezy: Dog.

997
01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:15.889
Jeezy: The most, you know, revealing part of what happened to RFK is he had to come speak, and that's the first problem.

998
01:10:18.760 --> 01:10:19.510
Jeezy: Bro.

999
01:10:19.510 --> 01:10:21.510
Chuck: Problem number one.

1000
01:10:21.510 --> 01:10:22.709
Jeezy: Number one, he had to speak.

1001
01:10:22.940 --> 01:10:24.270
Jeezy: He had to speak twice.

1002
01:10:24.530 --> 01:10:28.839
Jeezy: But he had, he had some congressional hearings that he had to attend.

1003
01:10:29.050 --> 01:10:29.680
Jeezy: So…

1004
01:10:29.680 --> 01:10:30.360
Manny: dumb.

1005
01:10:30.550 --> 01:10:32.200
Manny: Some? This man…

1006
01:10:32.200 --> 01:10:34.720
Chuck: He had a full class.

1007
01:10:34.720 --> 01:10:35.200
Manny: Seven.

1008
01:10:35.200 --> 01:10:39.009
Chuck: A school day, a school day. Yes, sir.

1009
01:10:39.010 --> 01:10:46.350
Manny: Between the 15th and the 22nd, this man had 7 different committees he had to go answer to, either around…

1010
01:10:46.690 --> 01:10:52.360
Manny: Vaccines, drug pricing, nutrition, Medicaid.

1011
01:10:53.130 --> 01:10:59.630
Manny: This man was working. Two people that I knew this last week in this administration that were working.

1012
01:10:59.790 --> 01:11:05.939
Manny: It's Marco Rubio, because… There's always somebody's job that he's gotta do, and RFK.

1013
01:11:06.190 --> 01:11:06.810
Manny: This week.

1014
01:11:07.260 --> 01:11:10.590
Jeezy: But before I get into it, I wanna ask you guys…

1015
01:11:12.090 --> 01:11:15.790
Jeezy: What's your general feel on RFK Jr. being in this role?

1016
01:11:17.250 --> 01:11:33.570
Jeezy: And when I ask you that, I want your opinion based off of the condition of the administration in total, because if you take him just by himself, I think I already know the answer. So I think that if I'm… when I'm asking this question, we gotta… we gotta… we gotta adjust the grade scale.

1017
01:11:34.270 --> 01:11:38.330
Jeezy: adjust the grading scale a little bit. We need to curve.

1018
01:11:38.330 --> 01:11:47.069
Chuck: So, if we're talking about… From a standpoint of have just jacked things up, in this administration.

1019
01:11:47.970 --> 01:11:52.350
Chuck: I'm gonna rank him… Probably middle of the class.

1020
01:11:52.350 --> 01:11:52.990
Jeezy: Okay.

1021
01:11:53.180 --> 01:11:57.680
Chuck: Because there are individuals who've jacked up more… Yeah. …a lot worse.

1022
01:11:58.020 --> 01:12:03.740
Chuck: He's definitely, yeah, I'm gonna say middle of the class.

1023
01:12:04.100 --> 01:12:04.690
Jeezy: Okay.

1024
01:12:05.020 --> 01:12:09.370
Manny: I would say… I'm gonna judge it a little bit differently. I would say…

1025
01:12:10.210 --> 01:12:14.350
Manny: This is not going nearly as bad as I thought it was.

1026
01:12:15.280 --> 01:12:17.009
Manny: It's still going bad.

1027
01:12:17.370 --> 01:12:19.140
Manny: as bad as I thought it was.

1028
01:12:19.450 --> 01:12:22.460
Manny: And I think because the other problem with RFK,

1029
01:12:23.470 --> 01:12:28.480
Manny: Is that his clock is right once every 3 days.

1030
01:12:29.360 --> 01:12:32.339
Chuck: Agreed. That's why I put them in the middle. Agreed.

1031
01:12:33.080 --> 01:12:44.150
Manny: like, the whole, like, yeah, we need to get all these artificial dyes and stuff out of our foods, they're not in your shouldn't be in our… Supported. Absolutely. Hey, we need to stop… we need to stop vaccinating everyone. Whoa.

1032
01:12:44.150 --> 01:12:44.800
Jeezy: booming.

1033
01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:46.020
Chuck: Don't support it.

1034
01:12:46.020 --> 01:12:47.899
Manny: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

1035
01:12:47.900 --> 01:12:51.489
Jeezy: Bobby that type of person that get on that roll, and he see that everybody's, like, on…

1036
01:12:51.490 --> 01:12:52.630
Manny: It's like, yeah, I'm with a boiler.

1037
01:12:52.630 --> 01:12:56.480
Jeezy: Yeah, we all went to the one thing, it was like, see, yup, you got too much dip on your chin.

1038
01:12:56.760 --> 01:13:01.460
Chuck: That's that situation where your bad outweighs your good. Yup.

1039
01:13:01.460 --> 01:13:02.699
Manny: You gotta know that.

1040
01:13:02.810 --> 01:13:11.249
Chuck: Yeah, to that point, and I think that's why I put him in the middle, because, like, you perfectly said, Manny, he has some very…

1041
01:13:11.550 --> 01:13:15.970
Chuck: astute points that he stands strong on, and I support you.

1042
01:13:16.360 --> 01:13:22.099
Chuck: But you also got a situation where, out in Utah, there's a measle outbreak.

1043
01:13:22.240 --> 01:13:22.870
Jeezy: Yep.

1044
01:13:23.070 --> 01:13:23.940
Manny: I think it's South Carolina.

1045
01:13:23.940 --> 01:13:30.589
Chuck: Carolina, there's a measles outbreak. Somewhere else, there's a measles outbreak. Those… the other two states.

1046
01:13:30.870 --> 01:13:32.910
Chuck: Those outbreaks were…

1047
01:13:33.320 --> 01:13:46.809
Chuck: kind of concentrated around religious groups. The one that's concerning is in Utah, because it was more of a populous outbreak than it was any particular religious group who already was not,

1048
01:13:47.250 --> 01:13:49.100
Chuck: Proponents of vaccines.

1049
01:13:49.100 --> 01:13:49.700
Jeezy: Yeah.

1050
01:13:50.100 --> 01:13:53.369
Chuck: But then you get to these hearings, and…

1051
01:13:53.870 --> 01:13:55.769
Chuck: You kind of start to backpedal.

1052
01:13:55.900 --> 01:13:57.020
Manny: Boom, man. Yep.

1053
01:13:57.760 --> 01:14:01.079
Chuck: I'm talking… I'm talking Deion Sanders-level backpedal.

1054
01:14:01.080 --> 01:14:02.990
Jeezy: Right. And…

1055
01:14:02.990 --> 01:14:11.130
Chuck: And you all on previous podcasts have made the point that… the COVID vaccine

1056
01:14:11.320 --> 01:14:15.500
Chuck: is a crowning moment in the first Trump administration.

1057
01:14:17.190 --> 01:14:21.869
Manny: I will say it's a crowning moment of Trump's presidencies, both of them.

1058
01:14:23.110 --> 01:14:24.770
Chuck: I mean, there's not much to crown.

1059
01:14:24.890 --> 01:14:27.809
Manny: There's not, but at least it's something.

1060
01:14:27.810 --> 01:14:34.810
Chuck: But this one, you can make the stimulus checks a crowning moment in this administration if…

1061
01:14:34.810 --> 01:14:44.780
Jeezy: Yeah, you can't carry over the 1 and drop the 2 and add it to this administration. Covid is just the administration one. It ain't got… it ain't did nothing for the next wave, bruh.

1062
01:14:44.780 --> 01:14:56.640
Chuck: But for him to be such a strong proponent against that, it's just kind of like, hmm, make it make sense. And then he gets up here, and…

1063
01:14:56.850 --> 01:14:59.030
Chuck: He gets grilled.

1064
01:14:59.490 --> 01:15:00.310
Chuck: Breath of flying.

1065
01:15:00.310 --> 01:15:01.450
Manny: I'm rude.

1066
01:15:02.150 --> 01:15:05.060
Chuck: And I made this comment…

1067
01:15:05.220 --> 01:15:15.629
Chuck: before, and in my acknowledgement of the hearings, and we was in prepaide, when our good brother, Reverend… Brother Reverend Raphael Warnock.

1068
01:15:16.010 --> 01:15:21.969
Chuck: Is… grilling you And says that you need to lose your job.

1069
01:15:22.200 --> 01:15:24.220
Chuck: You need to be fired.

1070
01:15:25.070 --> 01:15:29.070
Chuck: All grace and mercy didn't bring you through.

1071
01:15:29.070 --> 01:15:30.820
Manny: Did not.

1072
01:15:30.920 --> 01:15:35.570
Chuck: And at that point, my good brother, he…

1073
01:15:35.570 --> 01:15:37.000
Manny: It's time for some reflection.

1074
01:15:37.000 --> 01:15:38.060
Jeezy: Yeah…

1075
01:15:38.060 --> 01:15:43.050
Chuck: Man, when the time for reflection is over, you need to ask for forgiveness and repentance.

1076
01:15:43.050 --> 01:15:50.009
Jeezy: The man that probably has the most peace out of anybody in the room said, yeah, no, bruh, your time… your time is over.

1077
01:15:50.760 --> 01:15:53.000
Jeezy: You know, one highlight of…

1078
01:15:53.510 --> 01:16:03.709
Jeezy: his hearings that I caught that had me weak was this moment that he had with, Elizabeth Warren, and I'm gonna play a clip for you guys of that moment.

1079
01:16:04.810 --> 01:16:09.750
Audio shared by Jeezy: After President Trump and the Republicans slashed healthcare for millions of families.

1080
01:16:09.750 --> 01:16:26.510
Audio shared by Jeezy: The president pitched his Trump Rx website as the answer for Americans who are worried about healthcare costs. He claims that Trump Rx has reduced prices by as much as 600%. 600%.

1081
01:16:26.510 --> 01:16:27.210
Chuck: A lot.

1082
01:16:27.210 --> 01:16:29.839
Manny: Bro, that's wild, man. 600.

1083
01:16:30.140 --> 01:16:30.829
Chuck: So he's China.

1084
01:16:30.900 --> 01:16:46.499
Audio shared by Jeezy: think means companies should be paying you to take their drugs. President Trump has a different way of calculating. There's two ways of calculating percentage. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to 10, that's a 600% reduction.

1085
01:16:47.090 --> 01:16:47.990
Jeezy: First of all.

1086
01:16:47.990 --> 01:16:48.469
Manny: Look, man.

1087
01:16:48.470 --> 01:16:50.539
Chuck: He has a different way of calculating.

1088
01:16:50.540 --> 01:16:52.130
Manny: He came out here in total.

1089
01:16:52.130 --> 01:16:53.950
Jeezy: Trump is a godfather.

1090
01:16:54.220 --> 01:16:56.050
Jeezy: Of mathematics, I guess, now.

1091
01:16:57.250 --> 01:16:58.689
Chuck: Wharton School of Business.

1092
01:16:59.560 --> 01:17:01.509
Jeezy: Bruh, the one gotta be shaking their head.

1093
01:17:01.510 --> 01:17:02.319
Chuck: This is the worst.

1094
01:17:02.320 --> 01:17:02.680
Jeezy: represented.

1095
01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:08.869
Chuck: War is shaking… Warren is rolling over in the grave, saying, stop putting my name on your work.

1096
01:17:08.870 --> 01:17:09.460
Jeezy: Right.

1097
01:17:09.680 --> 01:17:16.360
Jeezy: Trump apparently knows math better than everybody, and to roll out here and say this… I mean…

1098
01:17:17.150 --> 01:17:20.860
Jeezy: And then he doubled down on it with Trump later on, and I'm not even gonna play that clip.

1099
01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:24.980
Jeezy: But yeah, this moment went… Crazy, because…

1100
01:17:25.330 --> 01:17:28.940
Jeezy: That sounds massive, but makes absolutely no sense.

1101
01:17:28.940 --> 01:17:29.570
Chuck: None.

1102
01:17:29.570 --> 01:17:30.590
Jeezy: whatsoever. Go ahead, man.

1103
01:17:30.590 --> 01:17:31.119
Chuck: Oh, you bet.

1104
01:17:31.930 --> 01:17:34.169
Manny: I don't even know, but… look…

1105
01:17:35.220 --> 01:17:39.930
Manny: He was just telling the truth. He's like, look, Trump should just be out here calculating things.

1106
01:17:39.930 --> 01:17:42.390
Chuck: He did tell the truth. He did tell the truth.

1107
01:17:42.390 --> 01:17:43.440
Jeezy: He's got his own way of doing it.

1108
01:17:43.440 --> 01:17:45.469
Chuck: None of it? Like, none other.

1109
01:17:45.720 --> 01:17:50.390
Manny: Like, I… if I put myself in RFK's shoes in that moment.

1110
01:17:50.890 --> 01:17:57.640
Manny: I'm looking at Elizabeth like, you know the man, senile. The man just be doing stuff, and we just here reacting to it.

1111
01:17:58.570 --> 01:17:59.030
Jeezy: Brad.

1112
01:17:59.030 --> 01:18:01.199
Chuck: This… this man said…

1113
01:18:01.490 --> 01:18:09.470
Chuck: you can get 600%. If you take it… if it's $600 and you take it down to 10, that's 600%.

1114
01:18:09.810 --> 01:18:15.230
Jeezy: Bro, and I still… you got Trump sleeping in the chair, just nodding, like…

1115
01:18:15.320 --> 01:18:18.410
Manny: Hey, Sue… Susie Weil said that he wasn't.

1116
01:18:18.410 --> 01:18:19.300
Chuck: Absolutely.

1117
01:18:19.300 --> 01:18:22.300
Manny: He simply just had his eyes closed.

1118
01:18:22.510 --> 01:18:24.239
Manny: And his head was leaned back.

1119
01:18:24.740 --> 01:18:26.339
Jeezy: Sleep. And also, too.

1120
01:18:26.950 --> 01:18:28.140
Manny: It's mouthful.

1121
01:18:28.140 --> 01:18:28.790
Jeezy: Twisted, too.

1122
01:18:29.120 --> 01:18:29.670
Manny: So, yeah.

1123
01:18:29.670 --> 01:18:32.170
Jeezy: Yeah, he would sleep, or have an episode.

1124
01:18:32.360 --> 01:18:46.860
Chuck: But see, you know, we really might have to start this segment of, see what we try to tell you, because I had this as my spotlight with TrumpRx, and what wasn't played in that clip, Elizabeth Warren goes on to say.

1125
01:18:47.340 --> 01:18:51.489
Chuck: Y'all have something listed on Trump RX for $160.

1126
01:18:51.490 --> 01:18:52.200
Jeezy: Bruh.

1127
01:18:52.750 --> 01:18:54.390
Chuck: get that at Costco for $16.

1128
01:18:55.260 --> 01:19:00.080
Chuck: And his excuse was, well, we don't deal in generics.

1129
01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:03.340
Chuck: So what do you… what benefit are you doing this?

1130
01:19:03.880 --> 01:19:13.330
Chuck: Because you're selling… for those who may not know, if a drug has a generic, that means it's been out for a substantial amount of time.

1131
01:19:13.330 --> 01:19:15.150
Manny: At least 7 years.

1132
01:19:15.150 --> 01:19:20.019
Chuck: lease. It's been out a substantial amount of time, because there are certain protections

1133
01:19:20.160 --> 01:19:29.210
Chuck: Intellectual property protections allows the initial, pharmaceutical company to profit off of that discovery.

1134
01:19:29.430 --> 01:19:31.389
Chuck: But after that time period.

1135
01:19:31.960 --> 01:19:32.480
Manny: It's a free game.

1136
01:19:32.480 --> 01:19:33.949
Chuck: It's free game.

1137
01:19:34.510 --> 01:19:49.559
Chuck: So you're telling me you have a drug on the website, and you only have the brand name, but you're Trump… you're pushing this as the marketplace of inexpensive drugs to cut down the cost for the American people?

1138
01:19:49.760 --> 01:19:57.630
Manny: Now, here's what I'll say, to be in all fairness. Some people, not all generics, Work as well.

1139
01:19:57.630 --> 01:20:01.010
Chuck: No, no, not all generics are created equal. That is correct.

1140
01:20:01.010 --> 01:20:01.400
Jeezy: No.

1141
01:20:01.400 --> 01:20:01.840
Manny: But still.

1142
01:20:01.840 --> 01:20:02.370
Chuck: However…

1143
01:20:02.370 --> 01:20:05.359
Manny: It's still 10,000% valid.

1144
01:20:05.530 --> 01:20:09.980
Chuck: However, $160 to $16.

1145
01:20:11.600 --> 01:20:13.090
Chuck: That's 100%.

1146
01:20:13.090 --> 01:20:13.600
Manny: That's true.

1147
01:20:13.600 --> 01:20:14.289
Chuck: Just math there.

1148
01:20:14.290 --> 01:20:18.379
Manny: That's just math hair. They ain't moved the decimal like they were supposed to.

1149
01:20:18.980 --> 01:20:20.620
Manny: Bruh. That's all that happened, man.

1150
01:20:21.330 --> 01:20:35.469
Jeezy: I… the numbers that Trump crutched during the day gotta be the wildest thing. He started crutching numbers during the White House briefing that I didn't even talk about today. He lost me, so I don't understand how in the world RFK understands the math of that 600%, but…

1151
01:20:35.710 --> 01:20:37.549
Jeezy: RFK had a rough time, man.

1152
01:20:37.890 --> 01:20:39.199
Jeezy: Up there on that hill.

1153
01:20:39.510 --> 01:20:41.550
Jeezy: And I think that when you have…

1154
01:20:41.810 --> 01:20:47.910
Jeezy: Someone like him that is the leader… of, of our health.

1155
01:20:48.010 --> 01:21:03.489
Jeezy: he leaves this Make America Healthy again, and while he may have some points that are accurate, there are certain others, and I'm not even gonna get into one part of it, because I think, you know, it takes our bit… it would be beneficial for us to talk about it more in detail, but he was speaking about mental health.

1156
01:21:03.490 --> 01:21:13.099
Jeezy: and certain non-traditional approaches to handling mental health, that I think that if some of this going on to the spotlight I brought last week.

1157
01:21:13.300 --> 01:21:16.210
Jeezy: This could be pretty dangerous, coming from a person…

1158
01:21:16.390 --> 01:21:27.449
Jeezy: that dabbles in these theories that RFK has, because a lot of the things that he says, for him to be the leader, the secretary, there is no support of it.

1159
01:21:27.800 --> 01:21:31.309
Jeezy: It's things that he just believes, and when you have…

1160
01:21:31.310 --> 01:21:33.960
Chuck: Brother.

1161
01:21:33.960 --> 01:21:35.460
Manny: Don't stop believing, man.

1162
01:21:35.460 --> 01:21:42.049
Chuck: You're supposed to not believe it. To that point, I can't remember who it was, but there was a,

1163
01:21:42.180 --> 01:21:52.659
Chuck: a congress… congressman who… while RFK was spouting some study, They did their Googles.

1164
01:21:52.910 --> 01:21:55.190
Chuck: It came back to show him…

1165
01:21:55.350 --> 01:22:00.249
Chuck: That the study actually refutes everything that he said the study supported.

1166
01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:02.530
Chuck: On two different occasions.

1167
01:22:03.270 --> 01:22:06.880
Chuck: This is the same man who told y'all he snorted Coke off of.

1168
01:22:06.880 --> 01:22:08.069
Jeezy: Oh, the toilet seat.

1169
01:22:08.070 --> 01:22:08.590
Manny: seat.

1170
01:22:08.590 --> 01:22:18.699
Jeezy: Now, if you go snore coke, I ain't got nothing to do with that, that ain't my ministry. But I'm… I can think that if you were gonna do that, there's probably about a hundred more safer ways.

1171
01:22:18.700 --> 01:22:21.959
Chuck: Everything I'm doing on the toilet seat is sitting down. That's it.

1172
01:22:22.190 --> 01:22:23.139
Jeezy: He, he never.

1173
01:22:23.350 --> 01:22:25.579
Jeezy: You're probably that porcelain guy, for real.

1174
01:22:26.910 --> 01:22:31.470
Manny: Like, but the toilet seat? Like, not even the little, like, toilet paper holder?

1175
01:22:31.470 --> 01:22:34.799
Jeezy: The countertop didn't work? They ain't had no countertop.

1176
01:22:35.140 --> 01:22:36.469
Chuck: The back of your hand?

1177
01:22:36.720 --> 01:22:37.310
Manny: Yeah, just like…

1178
01:22:37.310 --> 01:22:38.819
Jeezy: You could wash your hands.

1179
01:22:38.820 --> 01:22:39.670
Chuck: Foam!

1180
01:22:40.020 --> 01:22:44.780
Manny: There had to have been some better options than… A woman? A raw toilet seat.

1181
01:22:44.780 --> 01:22:49.660
Jeezy: A raw toilet seat, bruh, is… public toilet seat is wild, bruh.

1182
01:22:49.880 --> 01:22:54.260
Manny: Like, had you said, like, in your own home, I'd have been like, oh, that's wild.

1183
01:22:54.260 --> 01:22:56.200
Jeezy: They're gonna question that. That's even worse.

1184
01:22:56.330 --> 01:22:57.379
Manny: You didn't have any.

1185
01:22:57.380 --> 01:22:59.630
Jeezy: You ain't got a clean spot in your house?

1186
01:22:59.630 --> 01:23:02.560
Manny: You said, this is a spot, right here.

1187
01:23:02.560 --> 01:23:05.099
Jeezy: Oh yeah, that's where I get the seasoning from.

1188
01:23:05.320 --> 01:23:09.040
Jeezy: It's got that lavras already baked into it, like a cast iron skillet.

1189
01:23:09.080 --> 01:23:11.579
Chuck: That's where that worm in his brain came from.

1190
01:23:11.580 --> 01:23:18.219
Jeezy: That's exactly where that word in his brain came from, but you have somebody that has… and every time RFK talks, and…

1191
01:23:18.500 --> 01:23:19.760
Jeezy: He needs to stop.

1192
01:23:19.910 --> 01:23:28.409
Jeezy: Because I feel like every time he makes a public appearance on a podcast or something, we get another crazy detail about this man that's like…

1193
01:23:28.970 --> 01:23:30.850
Jeezy: Bruh, you don't need to be in this job.

1194
01:23:31.000 --> 01:23:33.860
Jeezy: We, we, we got, we got the Coke off the toilet seat.

1195
01:23:34.460 --> 01:23:42.950
Jeezy: We've gotten to, you know, killing the bear and leaving it in the New York park. You had a worm that ate half your brain.

1196
01:23:43.180 --> 01:23:46.800
Jeezy: You wear jeans when you work out.

1197
01:23:46.800 --> 01:23:49.220
Chuck: That was diabolical, that was wild.

1198
01:23:49.220 --> 01:23:49.700
Manny: open.

1199
01:23:49.700 --> 01:23:55.270
Jeezy: The only thing I can think about worse than that is somebody sitting in the pool with jeans on, and I have seen people do it.

1200
01:23:55.330 --> 01:23:58.929
Chuck: Keep me far away from them in that scene.

1201
01:23:59.780 --> 01:24:09.369
Jeezy: And then even the latest report of being on a family vacation and taking some roadkill genitalia to go back and do research on, like, bruh, you do some.

1202
01:24:09.370 --> 01:24:09.920
Chuck: Me?

1203
01:24:09.920 --> 01:24:11.779
Jeezy: You do some wild stuff, bruh.

1204
01:24:11.880 --> 01:24:14.860
Jeezy: And you want me to take my health advice from you?

1205
01:24:15.440 --> 01:24:23.940
Jeezy: I think they just rolled back that, you know, it's not mandatory to take the flu vaccine in the military now. Alright, so… I mean, I get it, but now…

1206
01:24:24.220 --> 01:24:25.630
Jeezy: Everybody gonna be sick.

1207
01:24:25.960 --> 01:24:29.220
Jeezy: I do wonder… every season, trying to defend the country.

1208
01:24:29.840 --> 01:24:34.629
Manny: I, I do wonder what, john F. Kennedy.

1209
01:24:35.130 --> 01:24:38.300
Manny: And Bobby Kennedy would think of…

1210
01:24:38.990 --> 01:24:41.729
Manny: Oh, RFK, if they were still here with us.

1211
01:24:41.730 --> 01:24:46.769
Jeezy: You don't have to worry about what they think. The family tell you what they think. The family don't fool with Bobby.

1212
01:24:46.770 --> 01:24:48.500
Manny: Yeah, good point.

1213
01:24:48.500 --> 01:24:53.600
Jeezy: They tried to tell everybody, bruh, do not get… let this man… they know who Uncle Bobby is.

1214
01:24:56.220 --> 01:24:56.629
Jeezy: Read a man.

1215
01:24:56.630 --> 01:24:57.569
Chuck: Is that weird, man?

1216
01:24:57.570 --> 01:25:13.959
Jeezy: Yeah, he come over for Thanksgiving, and you wonder why he carving the turkey and putting his hand inside the turkey to carve it, bruh. He's the weird uncle that don't come around. You don't let the nieces and nephews around, or they don't go spend the night at Uncle Bobby's house. None of that, bruh. So they know. They know what type of time Bobby on, man. And unfortunately, this is the man…

1217
01:25:13.960 --> 01:25:17.600
Jeezy: That is making America healthy again, so…

1218
01:25:18.490 --> 01:25:20.339
Jeezy: It's just a cabinet of chaos, bro.

1219
01:25:20.340 --> 01:25:26.079
Chuck: It's also a prime example of what happens when a son does not have his father in his life.

1220
01:25:26.300 --> 01:25:26.980
Jeezy: Hmm.

1221
01:25:31.430 --> 01:25:34.370
Chuck: Cause his daddy had some good sense, according to what they say about him.

1222
01:25:36.520 --> 01:25:39.509
Jeezy: The apple fell far from the tree, and rolled as far as it possibly could.

1223
01:25:39.510 --> 01:25:41.330
Manny: Gotta roll… roll down.

1224
01:25:41.330 --> 01:25:43.960
Chuck: Well, I mean, the tree got chopped down, so…

1225
01:25:46.460 --> 01:25:47.370
Chuck: I'm sorry.

1226
01:25:48.610 --> 01:25:50.740
Manny: Dang. Dang.

1227
01:25:51.120 --> 01:25:51.720
Manny: Dang.

1228
01:25:52.290 --> 01:25:57.080
Jeezy: Bobby should have been in the Boys and Girls Club. He probably would have had a better future, bruh.

1229
01:25:57.430 --> 01:26:00.549
Jeezy: When you got a daddy in your life, send him to the Boys and Girls Club, man.

1230
01:26:02.090 --> 01:26:04.139
Chuck: Big brother, big sister. Yeah.

1231
01:26:04.330 --> 01:26:05.809
Jeezy: All he needed me.

1232
01:26:05.810 --> 01:26:12.770
Chuck: That's all he needed. I used to be a, I used to be a part of that program from the mentor aspect.

1233
01:26:13.460 --> 01:26:13.870
Jeezy: Yeah.

1234
01:26:13.870 --> 01:26:16.130
Chuck: You gotta help them boys out, man.

1235
01:26:16.610 --> 01:26:21.270
Jeezy: Yeah, I was too, until I got into it with some kids, and they told me I couldn't come back no more.

1236
01:26:21.740 --> 01:26:27.970
Chuck: Yeah, I don't wanna… I don't know what the statute of limitations is on jacking children up.

1237
01:26:27.970 --> 01:26:29.329
Jeezy: I don't take this paper off.

1238
01:26:29.330 --> 01:26:29.990
Chuck: space.

1239
01:26:30.110 --> 01:26:31.730
Jeezy: And I ain't gonna take it from no stranger.

1240
01:26:33.740 --> 01:26:36.780
Chuck: I ain't had no kids then, and I'm not taking your disrespect. No.

1241
01:26:36.780 --> 01:26:37.310
Jeezy: Sure.

1242
01:26:37.450 --> 01:26:40.829
Jeezy: No, sir. But, this cabinet of chaos…

1243
01:26:41.150 --> 01:26:46.410
Jeezy: With all the different components, the liquor cabinet… It's just a…

1244
01:26:46.440 --> 01:26:48.120
Chuck: The squeaky cabinet.

1245
01:26:49.910 --> 01:26:50.730
Jeezy: The leaky fire…

1246
01:26:50.730 --> 01:26:53.900
Chuck: The unhinged… the unhinged cabinet.

1247
01:26:54.180 --> 01:27:01.229
Jeezy: The leaky faucet on the… bruh, it's just a terrible, it's just terrible. So, you know, hopefully when, Loose Lip.

1248
01:27:01.340 --> 01:27:07.039
Jeezy: Little Levitt comes back. She'll find her cabinet in a much better place than what she left it. I hope so.

1249
01:27:07.040 --> 01:27:07.570
Manny: She'.

1250
01:27:07.570 --> 01:27:08.609
Chuck: What was that?

1251
01:27:08.610 --> 01:27:11.090
Manny: She's coming back to a new cabinet, like.

1252
01:27:11.090 --> 01:27:13.889
Chuck: What is it? Go ahead, man, go ahead, my man.

1253
01:27:13.890 --> 01:27:16.840
Manny: You remember that show, Extreme Makeover?

1254
01:27:16.840 --> 01:27:17.220
Chuck: Bruh!

1255
01:27:17.220 --> 01:27:17.749
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1256
01:27:17.750 --> 01:27:24.160
Chuck: Quit playing, quit playing. I was just about to say, what was the host's name? I was just about to say that.

1257
01:27:24.370 --> 01:27:25.210
Jeezy: Right, yup.

1258
01:27:25.880 --> 01:27:26.630
Manny: Yep.

1259
01:27:26.630 --> 01:27:27.810
Chuck: Oh, man, that's crazy.

1260
01:27:27.810 --> 01:27:29.740
Manny: And that entire cabinet's gonna be different.

1261
01:27:29.740 --> 01:27:30.260
Jeezy: Done.

1262
01:27:30.260 --> 01:27:30.960
Chuck: Could be different.

1263
01:27:32.060 --> 01:27:33.760
Chuck: I promise you…

1264
01:27:33.760 --> 01:27:36.320
Manny: Who are you? And who are you?

1265
01:27:37.950 --> 01:27:39.080
Jeezy: From top to bottom.

1266
01:27:39.190 --> 01:27:40.370
Jeezy: Could be Trump, too.

1267
01:27:40.520 --> 01:27:41.280
Manny: Right?

1268
01:27:41.470 --> 01:27:41.880
Chuck: Mmm.

1269
01:27:41.880 --> 01:27:42.660
Manny: Yeah, no.

1270
01:27:42.910 --> 01:27:44.080
Jeezy: Never know.

1271
01:27:44.810 --> 01:27:49.720
Chuck: He might go out… he might go out on somebody else's terms, and I ain't talking about Congress.

1272
01:27:51.100 --> 01:27:52.010
Chuck: We'll watch.

1273
01:27:53.640 --> 01:27:55.879
Jeezy: Well, that is our segment, y'all, on…

1274
01:27:56.060 --> 01:28:01.670
Jeezy: The Cabinet of Chaos, and man is the cabinet on fire, so,

1275
01:28:02.780 --> 01:28:17.309
Jeezy: We'll see what happens in the next coming weeks. But hopefully things will subside. I got a feeling we're gonna have some more, because, you know, it's about time for Stephen Miller to crack, crank up. You know, Beth a gotta do something. It's time for him to start putting some hands on somebody.

1276
01:28:17.730 --> 01:28:23.320
Manny: And we don't have time to cover it today, but what I predicted a couple weeks back.

1277
01:28:23.320 --> 01:28:23.750
Jeezy: -Oh.

1278
01:28:23.750 --> 01:28:31.750
Manny: Prediction alert. Lori Chavez de Rumor, the, third cabinet secretary gone in seven weeks.

1279
01:28:31.750 --> 01:28:32.400
Jeezy: Been deleted.

1280
01:28:32.400 --> 01:28:32.960
Chuck: own.

1281
01:28:33.200 --> 01:28:35.319
Chuck: Another woman. Yup. No.

1282
01:28:35.800 --> 01:28:37.610
Jeezy: Are there any, are there any more women left?

1283
01:28:38.420 --> 01:28:41.960
Manny: Yeah, Tulsi, but there's rivers that… Tulsi? Yeah, that he wants to…

1284
01:28:41.960 --> 01:28:42.570
Chuck: He won't…

1285
01:28:42.660 --> 01:28:44.840
Manny: He wants her gone before midterms.

1286
01:28:44.840 --> 01:28:48.369
Chuck: That's what he said, that's what the reports are. They're putting the pressure to it.

1287
01:28:48.810 --> 01:28:52.089
Jeezy: Cash out about to be gone. Toasty about to be gone.

1288
01:28:52.730 --> 01:28:53.650
Jeezy: Boy.

1289
01:28:53.890 --> 01:29:01.770
Manny: I think there's no way that Pete Hegseth… survives this year.

1290
01:29:01.880 --> 01:29:06.979
Manny: as… as the Department of War. I… I just… I don't, because… just…

1291
01:29:07.080 --> 01:29:11.550
Manny: what I think is going to happen, like the usual Trump cycle.

1292
01:29:12.210 --> 01:29:19.009
Manny: These gas prices are gonna shoot up, about $5, and somebody's head has gotta roll publicly for this.

1293
01:29:19.010 --> 01:29:19.590
Jeezy: Stu.

1294
01:29:19.590 --> 01:29:24.800
Manny: It's not gonna be Trump. Nope. So, it's gonna be Pete. So, I would say, before…

1295
01:29:24.960 --> 01:29:26.479
Manny: I would say around Labor Day.

1296
01:29:27.350 --> 01:29:28.549
Manny: Around Labor Day, that he.

1297
01:29:28.550 --> 01:29:29.050
Jeezy: That's a good time.

1298
01:29:29.050 --> 01:29:30.120
Manny: It's all heave-ho.

1299
01:29:30.740 --> 01:29:31.270
Jeezy: Yeah.

1300
01:29:31.810 --> 01:29:32.610
Jeezy: I'm with it.

1301
01:29:33.310 --> 01:29:41.069
Jeezy: we will keep our eye on it and see what happens, but for now, that is, the segment of the Cabinet of Chaos. Our next segment.

1302
01:29:41.310 --> 01:29:45.259
Jeezy: We're going to go into, the state of Virginia.

1303
01:29:45.860 --> 01:29:46.420
Jeezy: State of.

1304
01:29:46.420 --> 01:29:47.440
Chuck: The lovers.

1305
01:29:47.440 --> 01:29:51.399
Jeezy: Virginia was on the… yeah, Virginia's for lovers. And lovers.

1306
01:29:51.400 --> 01:29:54.310
Manny: Invotive, apparently, too.

1307
01:29:54.650 --> 01:29:58.980
Jeezy: We had an election that happened this past week on Thursday, and

1308
01:29:59.220 --> 01:30:01.370
Jeezy: I should've known that it was gonna be…

1309
01:30:02.270 --> 01:30:09.010
Jeezy: pretty, pretty crazy. When Trump led the day by saying, Virginia voters, you gotta get out. And when Trump started demanding.

1310
01:30:09.010 --> 01:30:09.620
Chuck: Hey.

1311
01:30:09.620 --> 01:30:15.110
Jeezy: I need y'all to do… Trump only calls on the voters when he feels that pressure cooking up.

1312
01:30:15.230 --> 01:30:16.040
Jeezy: Okay.

1313
01:30:16.040 --> 01:30:17.020
Chuck: like Boosie.

1314
01:30:17.020 --> 01:30:17.450
Jeezy: Right.

1315
01:30:19.330 --> 01:30:26.889
Jeezy: It really is, bruh. But, Virginia went through a major, redistricting update.

1316
01:30:27.220 --> 01:30:32.190
Jeezy: They had the map redrawn, and voters voted.

1317
01:30:32.750 --> 01:30:41.279
Jeezy: And at the end of the night, they agreed to the redrawn maps that was, correct me if I'm wrong, Mandy, but was Democratic-led.

1318
01:30:42.050 --> 01:30:43.090
Manny: Yep.

1319
01:30:43.090 --> 01:30:43.600
Jeezy: This would…

1320
01:30:44.030 --> 01:30:48.869
Manny: All this was a response to the shenanigans in other states.

1321
01:30:49.410 --> 01:30:53.310
Jeezy: So, before we even get into just the breakdown of this.

1322
01:30:54.720 --> 01:30:59.680
Jeezy: The one thing that I thought was completely crazy, you just brought it up, the shenanigans.

1323
01:31:01.750 --> 01:31:07.859
Jeezy: the Republicans started this, Didn't seem to fare too well when they started it.

1324
01:31:08.540 --> 01:31:14.309
Jeezy: now the hit dog is hollering, because Virginia has done it, and I believe this will swing…

1325
01:31:14.530 --> 01:31:17.330
Jeezy: Democrat seats to potentially, what, 10 to 1?

1326
01:31:17.870 --> 01:31:23.009
Manny: Yep, from… It's 60… it's 6 to 5 right now, we'll swing to 10 to 1.

1327
01:31:23.830 --> 01:31:26.600
Jeezy: They played a game that you started.

1328
01:31:27.090 --> 01:31:30.760
Jeezy: Don't play fight with me and then get mad because I hit harder.

1329
01:31:32.900 --> 01:31:34.580
Jeezy: You don't… you don't start it with me.

1330
01:31:34.580 --> 01:31:35.240
Manny: party.

1331
01:31:35.240 --> 01:31:37.030
Jeezy: And now you mad because I hit hard.

1332
01:31:37.030 --> 01:31:43.249
Manny: Here… I think here's where I… my own personal feelings on this situation right now.

1333
01:31:43.430 --> 01:31:52.129
Manny: I hate that Virginia did this. Why do I hate that Virginia did this? Because they're one of the few states with a bipartisan commission for drugs.

1334
01:31:52.130 --> 01:31:57.190
Chuck: I hate you, Manny. I hate you. Get out my head. Get out of my head, bro.

1335
01:31:57.190 --> 01:32:00.460
Manny: Alright, we gonna… I'm gonna let Chuck finish this.

1336
01:32:00.460 --> 01:32:01.760
Chuck: No, no, no, go ahead, go ahead, brother.

1337
01:32:01.760 --> 01:32:02.380
Manny: But yeah, they're…

1338
01:32:02.380 --> 01:32:03.469
Chuck: We're going down the path.

1339
01:32:03.470 --> 01:32:12.119
Manny: They're one of the few states that actually have a commission. Like, their state was 6 to 5. Yeah. Like, that's about as fair as it.

1340
01:32:12.120 --> 01:32:13.600
Jeezy: Did you get it? Yeah.

1341
01:32:13.800 --> 01:32:19.580
Manny: in a Democrat-leaning state. So, the fact that they did this, I hate that they did it. Now…

1342
01:32:19.720 --> 01:32:22.559
Manny: Do I understand why they did it? Yeah.

1343
01:32:22.780 --> 01:32:29.780
Manny: Do I think it is… do I think they did it the correct way? If you're going to do this and put this in front of the voters?

1344
01:32:29.900 --> 01:32:35.230
Manny: Yes, I do. I do think that is the correct way that you need to do it, but to your point.

1345
01:32:36.100 --> 01:32:44.259
Manny: Yeah, y'all started this, Republicans, and now here you are. Because now even more information is coming out about those maps they redrew in Texas.

1346
01:32:44.260 --> 01:32:45.220
Jeezy: That…

1347
01:32:45.220 --> 01:32:50.790
Manny: It… it sound… they… they vibed their way through it and didn't look at real data.

1348
01:32:50.790 --> 01:32:51.550
Jeezy: Yep.

1349
01:32:51.550 --> 01:33:00.210
Manny: So, those… those maps may not be as advantageous for the Republicans as they thought. So, I hate that they did it.

1350
01:33:00.800 --> 01:33:07.530
Manny: I understand why they did it, and now I think… How does everyone else respond?

1351
01:33:07.970 --> 01:33:08.530
Jeezy: Yeah.

1352
01:33:10.300 --> 01:33:14.109
Chuck: My good brother. A lot of… We think a lot alike.

1353
01:33:14.460 --> 01:33:22.090
Chuck: It's a lot of different capacities. And… you're so spot on. So spot on. Like…

1354
01:33:22.510 --> 01:33:27.730
Chuck: We've talked about this before, and in the capacity of…

1355
01:33:28.410 --> 01:33:31.519
Chuck: Other states and other people doing this as a response.

1356
01:33:31.680 --> 01:33:39.080
Chuck: I'm not gonna say I championed it, but I… I… I supported the… Pushback.

1357
01:33:39.230 --> 01:33:45.159
Chuck: It's a good way to put it, because a lot of times, the Democrats will sit back and cry.

1358
01:33:45.690 --> 01:33:59.999
Chuck: woe be unto me and sit on their hands instead of taking action. Well, Gavin Newsom was the first one, and not… well, I'll say the first one, one of the first ones, along with, Pritzker, to really…

1359
01:34:00.020 --> 01:34:06.850
Chuck: start talking that talk, and then there was action put behind it. Like Manny said.

1360
01:34:07.450 --> 01:34:12.040
Chuck: In going about to doing this, Virginia did it.

1361
01:34:12.330 --> 01:34:14.720
Chuck: the way that I would…

1362
01:34:15.360 --> 01:34:24.979
Chuck: recognized. I'm gonna say support, but recognized, because it was put before the people. California, the same way. It was put before the people, they voted on it, it happened.

1363
01:34:25.810 --> 01:34:29.240
Chuck: But what happens… Later.

1364
01:34:29.240 --> 01:34:29.820
Jeezy: Yeah.

1365
01:34:30.340 --> 01:34:38.969
Chuck: Virginia, back in 2020, this came up again, and they voted it down to change it and keep it bipartisan.

1366
01:34:39.640 --> 01:34:44.409
Chuck: You want a level… not so much a level playing field, but a level…

1367
01:34:44.640 --> 01:34:48.320
Chuck: point of representation. Everybody deserves to be represented.

1368
01:34:48.320 --> 01:34:48.770
Jeezy: Yeah.

1369
01:34:49.220 --> 01:35:01.320
Chuck: Everybody deserves the right for their voice to be heard. So when we get into this game of gerrymandering, be it blue or red, you are killing the voice of somebody.

1370
01:35:01.330 --> 01:35:05.319
Jeezy: That's exactly what I was just about to ask, Chuck. For a… for a voter.

1371
01:35:05.980 --> 01:35:12.909
Jeezy: that lives in a district that I'm… I'm a Republican, how do I feel that my voice is heard?

1372
01:35:13.060 --> 01:35:20.050
Jeezy: if… This redrawing of the maps have now changed everything, and now…

1373
01:35:20.340 --> 01:35:22.330
Jeezy: My voice has been killed, ultimately.

1374
01:35:23.370 --> 01:35:26.709
Chuck: Yeah, it, it… Y-you feel…

1375
01:35:27.290 --> 01:35:33.959
Chuck: In many instances, you can feel less than, number one. Yeah, yeah. Number two, that less than turns into anger.

1376
01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:34.400
Jeezy: Yep.

1377
01:35:34.400 --> 01:35:42.130
Chuck: And then, depending on what's in your heart, that anger can turn into something very nasty. And with this.

1378
01:35:42.890 --> 01:35:47.110
Chuck: This isn't… this is… Although…

1379
01:35:47.890 --> 01:35:55.330
Chuck: It's a game of the system that we have in place, it's not the foundation and structure of how the system is supposed to be in place.

1380
01:35:55.880 --> 01:35:57.130
Jeezy: I have a question.

1381
01:35:58.160 --> 01:36:03.119
Jeezy: If I am a Republican, and now I'm represented by a Democrat.

1382
01:36:03.760 --> 01:36:06.369
Jeezy: Which, I may say, hey, look.

1383
01:36:06.520 --> 01:36:09.889
Jeezy: where I'm being represented for somebody that's not even in my party.

1384
01:36:11.580 --> 01:36:13.490
Jeezy: Is it a possibility?

1385
01:36:14.460 --> 01:36:21.790
Jeezy: That my experience with having this person leading my district can open me to the possibility to say, okay, well.

1386
01:36:22.110 --> 01:36:25.789
Jeezy: I know I'm a Republican, but this Democrat isn't doing a bad job.

1387
01:36:27.090 --> 01:36:28.170
Chuck: open-minded.

1388
01:36:28.170 --> 01:36:33.270
Manny: If you're open-minded, and you're actually looking at it for what's happening.

1389
01:36:33.270 --> 01:36:33.670
Jeezy: Yeah.

1390
01:36:33.670 --> 01:36:39.130
Manny: And not doing it from the partisan label of, oh, well, they're a Dems, so everything that they do.

1391
01:36:39.130 --> 01:36:39.540
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah.

1392
01:36:39.540 --> 01:36:42.360
Manny: They're a Republican, everything they do is bad.

1393
01:36:43.060 --> 01:36:56.000
Manny: People are more reasonable than you think, and even… as much division as we still talk about exists in politics, we're still… even in this administration, we're talking probably about 25% of the time.

1394
01:36:56.380 --> 01:37:05.020
Manny: Because I think if you see a lot of legislation comes through uncontested, Very few dissenting cases, like.

1395
01:37:05.710 --> 01:37:11.400
Manny: So people are more reasonable than the media will give people credit for.

1396
01:37:12.070 --> 01:37:18.370
Jeezy: Yeah, I thought about that because, you know, I have… I've shared this before with Mandy.

1397
01:37:18.580 --> 01:37:27.889
Jeezy: I'm a Democrat, but I will not sit here and say that I have always voted for the Democrat. There has been a Republican, there has been an Independent, and I can be like, okay.

1398
01:37:27.890 --> 01:37:28.520
Chuck: eggs.

1399
01:37:28.890 --> 01:37:42.060
Jeezy: I can… and to the point you're making, Manny, the open-mindedness, right? So I think that, while it may look very one-sided to some who may look at this from a very macro level.

1400
01:37:42.490 --> 01:37:45.220
Jeezy: I think there's an opportunity here for Democrats.

1401
01:37:45.750 --> 01:38:00.449
Jeezy: That if you're representing one of those areas and can have the open-mindedness to support those people as well, because you're not just representing the district of… one half of the district that is blue, you're representing all that are within that district.

1402
01:38:00.500 --> 01:38:10.970
Jeezy: So hopefully, that will happen, but I'm curious as to what happens next. Because, you know, this has happened in Virginia, we're inching closer to midterms.

1403
01:38:12.150 --> 01:38:23.879
Jeezy: Obviously, this is something the GOP did not want with Trump calling for, you know, the Republicans to get out and vote. And the number wasn't too far off, if I'm not mistaken, was it? It was, like, what, 52 to.

1404
01:38:23.880 --> 01:38:25.080
Manny: Oh, it was tight.

1405
01:38:25.980 --> 01:38:26.369
Manny: Real close.

1406
01:38:26.370 --> 01:38:27.040
Chuck: Weird.

1407
01:38:27.190 --> 01:38:32.410
Jeezy: So, you know, it was a very tight decision that was made that has changed these things.

1408
01:38:32.610 --> 01:38:36.980
Jeezy: What do you see as next, either for Virginia or just…

1409
01:38:37.080 --> 01:38:43.520
Jeezy: For the country in general, with seeing this result heading into, the countdown of midterms coming up?

1410
01:38:44.780 --> 01:38:56.040
Manny: Well, I think we saw the immediate reaction, because you obviously saw Trump have the reaction that he did. Yeah. But I think it was blocked immediately, like, within…

1411
01:38:56.040 --> 01:38:56.780
Chuck: Federal jurors.

1412
01:38:57.290 --> 01:39:02.200
Manny: federal judge came in, but I believe that's been… appealed, or.

1413
01:39:02.200 --> 01:39:05.340
Jeezy: Yeah, the Attorney General said that he was definitely gonna appeal it, so…

1414
01:39:05.340 --> 01:39:09.299
Manny: So, and oral arguments on that start on Monday as well.

1415
01:39:09.300 --> 01:39:09.720
Jeezy: Oh, wow.

1416
01:39:09.720 --> 01:39:16.459
Manny: releases. So, yeah, because they… well, because they have to know, because if you're redrawing seats for the midterms.

1417
01:39:16.940 --> 01:39:17.310
Chuck: I gotta get.

1418
01:39:18.010 --> 01:39:19.030
Jeezy: Getting ready to be in May.

1419
01:39:19.030 --> 01:39:24.530
Manny: You gotta get people on ballots, people have to make decisions, so we're running out of time.

1420
01:39:24.530 --> 01:39:30.730
Jeezy: And I think what we said on the pod, by June, July, people have kind of already made up their decision of who they're voting for and what they want.

1421
01:39:30.730 --> 01:39:33.929
Manny: I mean, at that point, I think most people will… will have.

1422
01:39:34.250 --> 01:39:34.790
Manny: Was…

1423
01:39:34.790 --> 01:39:37.510
Chuck: And then you also run into the issues that you had in Texas.

1424
01:39:37.620 --> 01:39:41.380
Chuck: Yeah. If you don't have this stuff in place, and now you got people going…

1425
01:39:41.380 --> 01:39:42.270
Manny: to districts…

1426
01:39:42.270 --> 01:39:42.730
Jeezy: Hmm.

1427
01:39:42.730 --> 01:39:48.850
Chuck: area, where do I vote? Oh, I voted here, and this person's not on my ballot now. Who am I voting for?

1428
01:39:49.050 --> 01:39:54.370
Chuck: There's a bunch of confusion going on. But to your question, Jeezy.

1429
01:39:54.950 --> 01:40:01.970
Chuck: I wanna… I wanna take it, since I am the… what… whatever that thing said I was, the contrarian.

1430
01:40:01.970 --> 01:40:04.660
Manny: Institutional skeptic.

1431
01:40:04.660 --> 01:40:09.340
Chuck: The institutional skeptic, and I'm gonna get in my institutional skeptic bag.

1432
01:40:09.340 --> 01:40:10.189
Jeezy: There you go.

1433
01:40:11.370 --> 01:40:12.430
Chuck: Black people.

1434
01:40:12.960 --> 01:40:15.199
Chuck: This hurts you more than it helps you.

1435
01:40:15.490 --> 01:40:23.119
Chuck: Especially in areas… I'll start in Virginia, and then I'm gonna bring it down to here in Atlanta.

1436
01:40:23.590 --> 01:40:35.979
Chuck: In Virginia, you have your highly concentrated areas of your Black voters in your Hampton Roads area, in Northern Virginia, in your Richmond area.

1437
01:40:36.580 --> 01:40:39.439
Chuck: If we break these areas down.

1438
01:40:39.910 --> 01:40:42.220
Chuck: The concentration becomes diluted.

1439
01:40:42.980 --> 01:40:47.190
Chuck: And the influence and power that you have as a group

1440
01:40:47.600 --> 01:40:51.930
Chuck: Is now watered down to the point where

1441
01:40:53.140 --> 01:41:04.120
Chuck: I don't want to say you're not as influential, but you don't care… your stick that you're swinging does not hit the pinata the same way it did before, because…

1442
01:41:04.230 --> 01:41:05.170
Chuck: They don't have food.

1443
01:41:05.170 --> 01:41:06.440
Manny: for your votes.

1444
01:41:06.440 --> 01:41:19.970
Chuck: They don't have to fight for it. They don't have to pay attention to you as much now, because your concentration has been diluted. You're in few… there are far more districts, far more spread out.

1445
01:41:20.400 --> 01:41:22.939
Chuck: I'll just go with those who are over here.

1446
01:41:23.230 --> 01:41:28.059
Chuck: And… What they say about… what they care about you.

1447
01:41:28.630 --> 01:41:33.979
Chuck: It's not as impactful as it was when you were a…

1448
01:41:34.780 --> 01:41:41.069
Chuck: A more concentrated, a larger section of the voting population.

1449
01:41:41.420 --> 01:41:44.819
Chuck: Furthermore, Down here in Atlanta.

1450
01:41:45.630 --> 01:41:51.300
Chuck: Fulton County, Black people make up over 40% of the voting population.

1451
01:41:52.260 --> 01:41:54.169
Chuck: You moved to DeKalb County.

1452
01:41:54.640 --> 01:41:58.679
Chuck: And that's… that number jumps over 55% of the voting population.

1453
01:41:58.680 --> 01:41:59.620
Manny: Hoo…

1454
01:41:59.620 --> 01:42:00.210
Jeezy: Man.

1455
01:42:00.210 --> 01:42:01.010
Chuck: Yes.

1456
01:42:02.580 --> 01:42:05.669
Chuck: We start breaking down our districts even more.

1457
01:42:06.750 --> 01:42:14.539
Chuck: you further dilute the influence and the power. Over the past… what is this? I'll say…

1458
01:42:15.930 --> 01:42:22.939
Chuck: 10 to 15 years, Georgia has really started to be seen as

1459
01:42:23.650 --> 01:42:28.399
Chuck: could potentially be purple. I'm not gonna say fully blue, because…

1460
01:42:28.600 --> 01:42:35.210
Chuck: We… we're truly swinging back and forth in which way we're voting.

1461
01:42:35.610 --> 01:42:38.910
Chuck: But guess where that area of influence comes from?

1462
01:42:39.770 --> 01:42:41.360
Chuck: These concentrated areas.

1463
01:42:42.800 --> 01:42:48.340
Chuck: And you start breaking down these concentrated areas, and that influence and that power

1464
01:42:48.590 --> 01:42:55.799
Chuck: dilutes. So, to Manny and I's point originally of… We're not fans of this.

1465
01:42:56.400 --> 01:42:58.260
Chuck: For me, it's twofold.

1466
01:42:58.640 --> 01:43:03.320
Chuck: One, this is not… Playing… playing with the system.

1467
01:43:03.990 --> 01:43:06.840
Chuck: It was not set up to be played with in this fashion.

1468
01:43:07.970 --> 01:43:10.239
Chuck: Because it's not true representation.

1469
01:43:10.730 --> 01:43:15.080
Chuck: But for me, I understand that this

1470
01:43:17.030 --> 01:43:29.319
Chuck: I'll say it, minimizes your voice. It turns the volume down on your voice. You're still screaming. You're sitting here watching TV, and you can see that this person is screaming, but the TV's on mute. You don't hear it.

1471
01:43:30.010 --> 01:43:30.510
Manny: Right.

1472
01:43:30.930 --> 01:43:33.119
Chuck: That's what this does. It mutes…

1473
01:43:33.240 --> 01:43:42.950
Chuck: the volume of your voice when we start playing with these districts. And yes, now we go from, and I'll use Virginia numbers, from 6 to 10.

1474
01:43:43.560 --> 01:43:45.880
Chuck: But guess what happens when people move?

1475
01:43:47.270 --> 01:43:49.799
Chuck: Guess what happens when the population shifts?

1476
01:43:52.310 --> 01:43:55.049
Chuck: just think about it. When that population shifts.

1477
01:43:55.950 --> 01:44:00.120
Chuck: And… you… I don't even… I won't even go to gentrification.

1478
01:44:00.750 --> 01:44:05.010
Chuck: Just the shift and moving in areas, and…

1479
01:44:05.130 --> 01:44:09.620
Chuck: Now, this district was a blue district, but we have a few more people.

1480
01:44:10.150 --> 01:44:12.830
Chuck: Moved over here, who are red.

1481
01:44:13.340 --> 01:44:15.309
Chuck: So now this is a red district.

1482
01:44:16.140 --> 01:44:18.730
Chuck: And then that wave kind of shifts.

1483
01:44:18.940 --> 01:44:27.419
Chuck: You're playing a game that's not necessary. If you have a bipartisan system that's in place, Leave it alone.

1484
01:44:27.610 --> 01:44:28.120
Manny: Hmm, the truth.

1485
01:44:28.120 --> 01:44:30.340
Jeezy: The trick you play today, maybe you're trapped tomorrow.

1486
01:44:30.710 --> 01:44:36.500
Chuck: Yeah, and then you have these politicians out here who are playing the, I'mma flip sides game.

1487
01:44:37.270 --> 01:44:40.570
Chuck: And just because you change your affiliation don't mean you change your heart.

1488
01:44:40.570 --> 01:44:41.340
Jeezy: Mmm.

1489
01:44:41.610 --> 01:44:43.010
Manny: does not mean.

1490
01:44:43.260 --> 01:44:45.480
Jeezy: Preach, preachin'. So…

1491
01:44:45.900 --> 01:44:49.999
Chuck: Alright, thank you for coming to church, Tom.

1492
01:44:50.000 --> 01:44:53.890
Manny: There's one thing that I will say out of VA that came out of that

1493
01:44:55.100 --> 01:45:01.689
Manny: I found quite hilarious, and I would say it is… it is in the running for top tweet of the year.

1494
01:45:01.950 --> 01:45:09.160
Manny: From the Virginia State Senate Pro… hold on, let me make sure… yep, Pro Temp.

1495
01:45:10.240 --> 01:45:17.330
Manny: Louise Lucas, and she made this comment, this tweet, back earlier this year.

1496
01:45:17.510 --> 01:45:22.370
Manny: And she was talking about redistricting, and I'm just going to read what the tweet said.

1497
01:45:23.310 --> 01:45:27.419
Manny: I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner.

1498
01:45:27.780 --> 01:45:34.649
Manny: But we do not need coaching on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner.

1499
01:45:35.560 --> 01:45:43.690
Manny: How about you all stay focused on the fastest in the White House, and let us handle redistricting in Virginia?

1500
01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:45.680
Manny: 10 to 1.

1501
01:45:46.610 --> 01:45:48.920
Manny: Right. And I said.

1502
01:45:48.920 --> 01:45:49.400
Jeezy: Mic drop.

1503
01:45:49.400 --> 01:45:50.200
Manny: Whoa.

1504
01:45:50.470 --> 01:45:51.780
Manny: Whoa.

1505
01:45:51.780 --> 01:45:52.579
Jeezy: Great mic drop.

1506
01:45:53.060 --> 01:45:55.720
Manny: We… we don't need coaching.

1507
01:45:56.040 --> 01:45:57.880
Manny: From the cut chair. Right.

1508
01:45:57.880 --> 01:45:59.789
Chuck: The cup chair is wild.

1509
01:45:59.790 --> 01:46:00.660
Manny: Wild.

1510
01:46:00.660 --> 01:46:01.750
Jeezy: That is very wild.

1511
01:46:01.750 --> 01:46:11.269
Manny: It's not even a while she said it. She said it in reference to two other people from her own party.

1512
01:46:12.080 --> 01:46:14.690
Chuck: I mean, Congress. She ain't shooting at the other side.

1513
01:46:15.930 --> 01:46:16.879
Jeezy: I like that type of energy.

1514
01:46:17.400 --> 01:46:19.120
Manny: I said, whoa.

1515
01:46:19.560 --> 01:46:27.089
Jeezy: Well, at any rate, you know, we will see how this pans out as the months go out.

1516
01:46:27.300 --> 01:46:28.829
Manny: The Florida Knicks.

1517
01:46:28.830 --> 01:46:30.339
Jeezy: Yeah, bro.

1518
01:46:30.930 --> 01:46:35.180
Jeezy: And I know you said that the, oral arguments of this will start, Monday.

1519
01:46:35.180 --> 01:46:35.690
Manny: Yep.

1520
01:46:35.720 --> 01:46:38.069
Jeezy: So it will be interesting, which…

1521
01:46:38.560 --> 01:46:40.180
Jeezy: I don't know how… how do you feel about that?

1522
01:46:40.180 --> 01:46:40.660
Chuck: That'd be hard.

1523
01:46:41.180 --> 01:46:46.109
Jeezy: I'll ask you guys, how do you feel about that? Because if they voted… The people voted for it.

1524
01:46:46.800 --> 01:46:50.180
Jeezy: What right do you have to block what they voted for?

1525
01:46:51.630 --> 01:46:54.260
Manny: some procedural thing.

1526
01:46:54.260 --> 01:46:59.189
Chuck: Yeah, that's what they're gonna have to find, because there's precedent, because it went… like, if…

1527
01:46:59.630 --> 01:47:08.230
Chuck: any good lawyer is gonna go for precedent in their argument, and California, just earlier… was it earlier this year, end of last year.

1528
01:47:08.430 --> 01:47:22.290
Chuck: When their vote went up, in the last year, their vote went up, and it was upheld because they presented it to the people, the people voted on it, and if you didn't find any procedural flaw.

1529
01:47:22.290 --> 01:47:24.239
Jeezy: Yeah, it is what it is.

1530
01:47:24.240 --> 01:47:25.259
Chuck: It is what it is.

1531
01:47:25.690 --> 01:47:34.590
Jeezy: Yeah, it'll be, it'll be interesting for sure. And, shout out to, to Virginia for, Madam Spanberg, because homegirl be working.

1532
01:47:35.010 --> 01:47:38.230
Jeezy: She ain't dropped that pen since she got in the office.

1533
01:47:38.230 --> 01:47:38.850
Manny: She got…

1534
01:47:38.850 --> 01:47:42.500
Chuck: Yeah, she hit the ground running for sure.

1535
01:47:42.500 --> 01:47:58.560
Jeezy: She is definitely working. Whether you agree with her or not, she's definitely trying to do a, do a thing in Virginia, so shout out to Virginia on that. So that is our coverage of the redrawing and the vote and the election of those maps in Virginia. So…

1536
01:47:59.090 --> 01:48:05.969
Jeezy: We have reached the point of our episode where, you guessed it, The pickle of the week.

1537
01:48:05.970 --> 01:48:10.680
Audio shared by Jeezy: When I'd get us all into the biggest pickle any of us had ever seen.

1538
01:48:11.420 --> 01:48:12.100
Audio shared by Jeezy: Bread.

1539
01:48:12.350 --> 01:48:16.779
Manny: I'd change it up on y'all.

1540
01:48:16.780 --> 01:48:17.330
Jeezy: Change it up.

1541
01:48:18.190 --> 01:48:19.200
Chuck: So…

1542
01:48:19.850 --> 01:48:21.179
Jeezy: Our pickle of the week.

1543
01:48:21.860 --> 01:48:24.459
Jeezy: It's pretty wild.

1544
01:48:25.050 --> 01:48:31.199
Jeezy: But, I might have to say wild with an asterisk, because… We'll talk about it.

1545
01:48:32.150 --> 01:48:43.199
Jeezy: But our pickle of the week is going to go to the U.S. Army Special Forces Master Sergeant named Gannon Ken Van Dyke.

1546
01:48:43.890 --> 01:48:49.160
Jeezy: And Mr, I'mma say… Mr. Ken, because you got a long name.

1547
01:48:49.550 --> 01:49:06.440
Jeezy: Mr. Ken here, isn't just any soldier, but he was directly involved in the covert U.S. operation to capture Venezuelan, leader Nicolas Maduro earlier this year. Now, you may say, how in the world is he in a pickle for that? I mean, we got in, got out.

1548
01:49:06.990 --> 01:49:14.840
Jeezy: No one got killed. According to Trump, it was the greatest thing that ever happened. We was in and out, we would hit them with special, weapons we got from Wakanda.

1549
01:49:14.950 --> 01:49:19.439
Jeezy: That took out the power, and… We had, we have our radio…

1550
01:49:19.440 --> 01:49:20.040
Chuck: Forever.

1551
01:49:21.120 --> 01:49:23.140
Chuck: The strength of the Black Pampa.

1552
01:49:23.140 --> 01:49:31.429
Jeezy: But why he's in a pickle is he used classified intel from that mission.

1553
01:49:31.650 --> 01:49:47.060
Jeezy: He went on a, prediction betting platform called PolyMarket, and he placed 13 bets on things like, will the U.S. enter Venezuela? Will Maduro be out of power by January?

1554
01:49:47.230 --> 01:49:54.939
Jeezy: And he turned about $30,000 to $34,000 into $400,000 in profit.

1555
01:49:55.510 --> 01:50:01.009
Jeezy: So basically, he bet on a mission he already knew the outcome.

1556
01:50:01.200 --> 01:50:02.250
Jeezy: So…

1557
01:50:02.420 --> 01:50:09.180
Jeezy: He… why he's in trouble is now the DOJ is going after him hard. They charged him with, wire fraud.

1558
01:50:10.110 --> 01:50:27.789
Jeezy: theft of government information, he's facing potential decades in prison, and this is being called the first insider trading case involving prediction, markets. But it gets worse. He allegedly tried to move the money through crypto.

1559
01:50:27.820 --> 01:50:30.760
Jeezy: Delete his account and cover his tracks, but…

1560
01:50:30.760 --> 01:50:31.630
Manny: Obviously.

1561
01:50:31.630 --> 01:50:33.320
Jeezy: He didn't… he didn't do that great.

1562
01:50:33.490 --> 01:50:36.800
Jeezy: So… Mr. Ken?

1563
01:50:37.150 --> 01:50:40.099
Jeezy: Yeah, no pickle, man. Now, I will say this.

1564
01:50:40.100 --> 01:50:43.309
Chuck: Mehhhh… Nowadays? Nowadays?

1565
01:50:43.310 --> 01:50:44.820
Jeezy: I sit up there in Washington.

1566
01:50:45.320 --> 01:50:47.360
Jeezy: And do mess like this all day.

1567
01:50:47.960 --> 01:51:00.370
Chuck: Oh, listen, all day long. That's why there has been proposals and legislation put forth of… Congress…

1568
01:51:00.710 --> 01:51:03.680
Chuck: Men and women not being able to trade.

1569
01:51:04.550 --> 01:51:18.459
Chuck: Because it's been done left and right, and this man saw an opportunity to get up on the game. Y'all let, Polly Pocket, or whatever that thing is, be… be…

1570
01:51:18.460 --> 01:51:19.650
Jeezy: like some of the Adam and Eve.

1571
01:51:22.680 --> 01:51:30.730
Chuck: Now, the only time I have an issue with something like this is… well, there's other instances, but this reminds me of,

1572
01:51:31.000 --> 01:51:41.059
Chuck: When an athlete is betting on, you know, a game, when you're betting on the game that you're in, and then you… like, if he had sabotaged the mission.

1573
01:51:41.060 --> 01:51:42.160
Jeezy: Ehh.

1574
01:51:42.680 --> 01:51:43.540
Jeezy: Then we might.

1575
01:51:43.540 --> 01:51:55.550
Chuck: Bruh, what you doing? Yeah. He just man just said, he said he had confidence in him and his team. That's why Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame. I got confidence in me and my team. We gonna get this job done.

1576
01:51:55.850 --> 01:51:56.310
Manny: Listen.

1577
01:51:56.310 --> 01:51:57.470
Chuck: And I'mma run it up.

1578
01:51:57.470 --> 01:52:08.090
Jeezy: The man… the man was confident in the plane, but I gotta imagine on that plane, they were sitting there briefing. Homie was over there letting them bits ride. Hey, what's the matter?

1579
01:52:08.090 --> 01:52:08.520
Manny: to the West.

1580
01:52:08.520 --> 01:52:13.459
Chuck: We're over in the Caribbean right now, and I can't… I need to be connected.

1581
01:52:13.460 --> 01:52:17.599
Jeezy: He said, before I get too far off American soil, I gotta get these bets in.

1582
01:52:18.720 --> 01:52:19.640
Chuck: Man…

1583
01:52:19.640 --> 01:52:23.200
Jeezy: But, you know, he didn't just serve his country.

1584
01:52:23.470 --> 01:52:24.680
Jeezy: He parlayed it.

1585
01:52:26.680 --> 01:52:27.180
Manny: I think…

1586
01:52:27.180 --> 01:52:27.680
Jeezy: Deleted.

1587
01:52:27.680 --> 01:52:38.449
Manny: But here's where I think it's gonna get interesting with this, is with Polymarket, Kashi, like, how much… how much more…

1588
01:52:39.080 --> 01:52:51.639
Manny: runway do they have before the feds step in and start to do something? Yeah. Because it's… it's starting to get real bad real fast, and it's completely unregulated, so… I think before we get too bad…

1589
01:52:51.970 --> 01:52:53.520
Jeezy: I think we need to make our account.

1590
01:52:53.860 --> 01:52:55.680
Jeezy: Because the way we've been predicting stuff.

1591
01:52:55.860 --> 01:52:57.110
Chuck: That's a fact, bruh.

1592
01:52:57.200 --> 01:53:02.129
Jeezy: We might have to start rubbing these coins together and do the same thing like Homie did, because we…

1593
01:53:02.130 --> 01:53:02.760
Chuck: Isn't it?

1594
01:53:02.760 --> 01:53:05.120
Jeezy: We batting… we batting almost 100 on these predictions.

1595
01:53:05.120 --> 01:53:09.819
Chuck: This is the only medium that Manny has a good track record in addiction.

1596
01:53:10.360 --> 01:53:12.900
Chuck: It is.

1597
01:53:12.900 --> 01:53:13.220
Manny: knows.

1598
01:53:13.220 --> 01:53:14.200
Jeezy: test this off mic.

1599
01:53:14.590 --> 01:53:15.640
Chuck: Lord.

1600
01:53:15.640 --> 01:53:18.089
Manny: I can't… I can't put a sports bet together.

1601
01:53:19.090 --> 01:53:31.959
Jeezy: I think the political parlays I think you got, brother, so we might have to… might hone in to that being your ministry. But, unfortunately for Mr. Gannon Ken Van Dyke.

1602
01:53:32.220 --> 01:53:36.020
Jeezy: You didn't just fumble the bag, you federal charged the bag, bruh.

1603
01:53:36.310 --> 01:53:39.449
Jeezy: You going down, bruh. You going down.

1604
01:53:40.030 --> 01:53:45.130
Chuck: Hey, real quick, Mount Olive, Blastik, if one of y'all want to sponsor this segment.

1605
01:53:45.130 --> 01:53:46.370
Jeezy: Hey, listen.

1606
01:53:46.370 --> 01:53:47.150
Chuck: the boys.

1607
01:53:47.460 --> 01:53:50.860
Jeezy: Hey, and Mount Olive is North Carolina bait.

1608
01:53:50.860 --> 01:53:51.969
Chuck: North Carolina, yeah.

1609
01:53:51.970 --> 01:53:56.389
Jeezy: Even better, even better. We're waiting on our Merge Hair Wax endorsement, but we ain't got that yet.

1610
01:53:57.200 --> 01:54:02.159
Jeezy: Shout out to Murray's. But, yeah, that's my pickle for the week, so…

1611
01:54:02.160 --> 01:54:06.369
Chuck: I was gonna have a Murray's endorsement. You and I got locks and man.

1612
01:54:06.370 --> 01:54:06.930
Jeezy: Committing.

1613
01:54:07.610 --> 01:54:08.770
Jeezy: I'm getting even on the beard, bro.

1614
01:54:08.770 --> 01:54:10.279
Manny: I'd use a beard.

1615
01:54:10.280 --> 01:54:12.080
Jeezy: Ease it on the beard.

1616
01:54:12.080 --> 01:54:16.690
Chuck: Be like stiff, stiff behind. Beard don't move.

1617
01:54:16.690 --> 01:54:19.370
Jeezy: He ain't gonna have a finger wave to it.

1618
01:54:22.320 --> 01:54:25.880
Jeezy: Get outside again. In the summertime, you start smelling like Parker's Barbecue.

1619
01:54:29.670 --> 01:54:30.590
Jeezy: But, man.

1620
01:54:30.810 --> 01:54:34.169
Manny: Walk too close to my beard, start getting seasick. Hey, bro.

1621
01:54:34.170 --> 01:54:38.300
Jeezy: Hey, bruh, that marriage had you right. Can't last your lifetime, bruh.

1622
01:54:39.150 --> 01:54:45.859
Jeezy: But to our listeners, we have reached the conclusion of our episode, and you guys know, as always.

1623
01:54:45.980 --> 01:54:55.039
Jeezy: At the end of our episodes, we love to give you our spotlight of the week, so, to my brothers, Chuck, I'mma go with you, to start us out. What's your spotlight for the week, man?

1624
01:54:55.480 --> 01:55:00.530
Chuck: My spotlight of the week is the Ticketmaster lawsuit.

1625
01:55:00.650 --> 01:55:15.410
Chuck: Ticketmaster and Live Nation was sued by the DOJ and a conglomerate of, I believe it was about 40 states earlier this year. Actually, no, it was filed in May of 2024.

1626
01:55:15.880 --> 01:55:29.289
Chuck: And this coalition, they went back and forth saying that Live Nation held a monopoly of venues, for concerts, and as concert promoters.

1627
01:55:29.380 --> 01:55:36.929
Chuck: they were forcing these venues to utilize Ticketmaster for the sale of the, tickets.

1628
01:55:37.030 --> 01:55:42.449
Chuck: And if you did not… you utilize Ticketmaster.

1629
01:55:42.500 --> 01:56:01.840
Chuck: you were threatened with the potential loss of these events coming to your facility and going elsewhere, basically icing you out. So the big shows, your Beyonce, your Kendricks. And it's actually… a lot of this… I have to give Taylor Swift credit, because a lot of this started with

1630
01:56:02.250 --> 01:56:10.440
Chuck: her last big tour, and there was an issue where people were not able to get tickets, or… this, that, and the third.

1631
01:56:10.900 --> 01:56:19.039
Chuck: I'm not a Swifty, so, you know, you can go do your Googles. But I know that was kind of the catalyst for this lawsuit to come forth.

1632
01:56:19.150 --> 01:56:27.269
Chuck: Well… In March of 2026, the DOJ… Made a… had a settlement.

1633
01:56:27.590 --> 01:56:34.910
Chuck: And came to a settlement with Live Nation and Ticketmaster, as well as, I believe it was 4 states.

1634
01:56:35.010 --> 01:56:41.379
Chuck: Of the, 40-state coalition. And in this settlement, they,

1635
01:56:42.070 --> 01:56:51.730
Chuck: Found that the, they were liable and charging too much, and came to a settlement of, like, 200 and something million dollars.

1636
01:56:52.000 --> 01:56:56.740
Chuck: Now, Ticketmaster and Live Nation bring in profits of billions.

1637
01:56:57.200 --> 01:56:58.939
Chuck: Billions with a B.

1638
01:56:59.580 --> 01:57:04.880
Chuck: 200 and something million dollars… It's pocket change to them.

1639
01:57:05.370 --> 01:57:14.510
Chuck: Shoot, Cardi B just finished her tour, and she had a profit of $70 million. If she had a profit of $70 million, what do you think Live Nation made?

1640
01:57:14.950 --> 01:57:15.920
Jeezy: Man…

1641
01:57:16.410 --> 01:57:26.999
Chuck: Anyway, so as we proceed, these four states went about their business, but the other 30-plus states was like, hold on, we're not rocking with this.

1642
01:57:27.250 --> 01:57:34.280
Chuck: And so, they continue to push forth, and in April, the great month of April.

1643
01:57:35.080 --> 01:57:37.590
Chuck: The jury… well, let me go back.

1644
01:57:38.020 --> 01:57:48.240
Chuck: Instead of starting a whole new trial, the judge said, okay, we'll let you states move forward with the same jury that was already a part of this before the settlement, but you…

1645
01:57:48.690 --> 01:57:52.409
Chuck: In getting a new lawyer, you're gonna have to do it within a week.

1646
01:57:53.660 --> 01:57:55.820
Manny: That's a wild turnaround.

1647
01:57:55.820 --> 01:58:02.199
Chuck: Super, super wild turnaround for this large of a case, and they have been going on since 2024.

1648
01:58:02.770 --> 01:58:09.809
Chuck: However, they were able to find one who did a fantastic job, and the jury came back and said that

1649
01:58:10.020 --> 01:58:11.699
Chuck: Yeah, Live Nation?

1650
01:58:12.080 --> 01:58:18.620
Chuck: Ticketmaster, you're operating in a monopoly, and it is wrong, and so…

1651
01:58:18.830 --> 01:58:23.100
Chuck: At this point, this is a victory… for…

1652
01:58:23.940 --> 01:58:27.030
Chuck: the states. I ain't gonna say it's for the consumers, because…

1653
01:58:27.410 --> 01:58:36.870
Chuck: We don't know what's gonna play out from here. They are, headed to their next, step in the process.

1654
01:58:36.890 --> 01:58:49.340
Chuck: which is the remedies phase, so the judge is gonna go and, figure out what the remedy is. One of the options is to break things up between Live Nation and…

1655
01:58:49.500 --> 01:58:50.850
Chuck: Ticketmaster.

1656
01:58:51.140 --> 01:58:55.899
Chuck: Because they merged back in 2010, I believe it was?

1657
01:58:55.900 --> 01:58:56.610
Manny: Yeah.

1658
01:58:57.550 --> 01:59:04.929
Chuck: Either way, My number one concern in this, and before I wrap up my spotlight, is…

1659
01:59:05.330 --> 01:59:07.210
Chuck: Is this gonna drive down ticket?

1660
01:59:07.690 --> 01:59:08.680
Chuck: Prices.

1661
01:59:09.080 --> 01:59:14.099
Chuck: And two, the report came out after this verdict was,

1662
01:59:14.430 --> 01:59:20.200
Chuck: released that they were guilty of an illegal monopoly from… according to the Sherman Act.

1663
01:59:20.580 --> 01:59:28.429
Chuck: Ticketmaster Canada said that they would no longer allow resale of tickets more than the face value of the ticket.

1664
01:59:29.850 --> 01:59:33.670
Chuck: So, if Ticketmaster Canada can do this, Ticketmaster USA.

1665
01:59:34.510 --> 01:59:35.590
Jeezy: What's taking so long?

1666
01:59:35.820 --> 01:59:36.340
Chuck: What's up?

1667
01:59:36.980 --> 01:59:39.220
Manny: Cause charts gotta go up and to the right, man.

1668
01:59:43.570 --> 01:59:48.320
Chuck: Like… So, yeah, if you've ever, tried to purchase a ticket.

1669
01:59:48.940 --> 01:59:53.180
Chuck: For a concert, for a show, and jump in the queue, and you was…

1670
01:59:53.780 --> 02:00:00.469
Chuck: Number 457,000, and you know the venue only holds 15,000?

1671
02:00:01.170 --> 02:00:02.960
Chuck: This one's for you, guy.

1672
02:00:02.960 --> 02:00:03.510
Jeezy: Yep.

1673
02:00:04.560 --> 02:00:05.660
Chuck: One's for you.

1674
02:00:05.660 --> 02:00:07.650
Jeezy: Alright. Well, Manny, what you got, brother?

1675
02:00:07.950 --> 02:00:15.200
Manny: Man, well… The North Carolina General Assembly is back in session.

1676
02:00:15.200 --> 02:00:15.590
Jeezy: Indeed.

1677
02:00:15.590 --> 02:00:21.600
Manny: Okay. For a source session. It has been over 942 days.

1678
02:00:22.300 --> 02:00:30.299
Manny: since we've had a working budget. We've… North Carolina's been operating on the same 20… 2023 budget

1679
02:00:30.450 --> 02:00:39.009
Manny: It is the longest, pause in North Carolina modern history, and we are the only state in the country with this situation.

1680
02:00:39.710 --> 02:00:44.549
Manny: And on top of that, we also have some other things that need to be taken care of.

1681
02:00:44.660 --> 02:00:58.119
Manny: Medicaid, has some issues, there's talks around teacher pay, and the cloud that's just kind of hanging over the General Assembly right now is, what is Phil Berger going to do?

1682
02:00:58.230 --> 02:01:16.779
Manny: in his lame duck session. You know, he… he lost, so he won't be back, so what is he gonna spend this last term doing? Well, on the first… first day, the first order of business was dealing with Medicaid, and we got it… they got it done. So, 319…

1683
02:01:16.790 --> 02:01:26.540
Manny: was given to create the contingency reserve. The exact amount that Governor Stein requested.

1684
02:01:26.900 --> 02:01:31.489
Manny: It passed the House 112 to 1, and the Senate 48 to 1.

1685
02:01:31.530 --> 02:01:48.150
Manny: So, that's as close to unanimous as we're probably gonna get. The caveat is there are some strings with the Medicaid bill, is that there's going to be stricter reporting requirements, and gambling winnings now count against Medicaid income eligibility.

1686
02:01:48.330 --> 02:01:53.540
Manny: They're also requiring that the state auditor must audit the program.

1687
02:01:54.000 --> 02:02:00.849
Manny: So, good for Medicaid, recipients in the state that we're gonna have that extended coverage.

1688
02:02:00.920 --> 02:02:12.809
Manny: The next big battle that we'll see is probably over tax cuts. Right now, there's kind of two, two kind of tracks of thinking right now in the Senate.

1689
02:02:12.810 --> 02:02:31.699
Manny: Berger really wants to lower the income tax down to 2.49%, while, Destin Hall on the House side, the House, speaker, he wants to pause income tax cuts to just kind of see how everything is going and understanding impacts of the budget, so that'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

1690
02:02:31.820 --> 02:02:40.250
Manny: Within the budget. And then, within the Senate budget, they have attacked, there's been lots of talks here locally around the Capitol.

1691
02:02:40.400 --> 02:02:54.630
Manny: About a children's hospital that they're trying to build in Apex, North Carolina. Well, the Senate has allocated $103 million for that, expenditure, but the… the House hasn't done anything for it.

1692
02:02:54.980 --> 02:03:13.449
Manny: And then on the other part of teacher pay, the House has proposed an 8.7% raise to teachers over 2 years, setting the starting pay at $50K. Senate hasn't agreed to that, so we talked about this a couple pods ago with Sydney Batch and, Senate Democrats.

1693
02:03:13.520 --> 02:03:19.070
Manny: offering to go in to stand with the Republicans to… some Republicans to get this passed.

1694
02:03:19.590 --> 02:03:22.369
Manny: So, it'll be interesting.

1695
02:03:22.740 --> 02:03:26.820
Manny: Phil Berger still seems a little bit salty from his loss.

1696
02:03:26.970 --> 02:03:29.440
Manny: In one of his quotes, he's like, hey.

1697
02:03:30.230 --> 02:03:34.850
Manny: Democrats like voting in Republican primaries, so…

1698
02:03:35.150 --> 02:03:37.999
Manny: That's not… it's not… it's not done with him, so…

1699
02:03:38.530 --> 02:03:44.419
Manny: Yeah, we will see how this goes, and will North Carolina get a budget passed? We'll see you in the next couple weeks.

1700
02:03:45.100 --> 02:03:46.820
Chuck: Yeah, he sounded real pissy.

1701
02:03:47.560 --> 02:03:54.600
Jeezy: I was talking to my wife, and I think it's wild, bruh, that… School budget?

1702
02:03:54.950 --> 02:03:56.980
Jeezy: Has not been approved for this year.

1703
02:03:57.450 --> 02:03:59.430
Jeezy: And the year is about to end?

1704
02:03:59.620 --> 02:04:00.360
Chuck: Yeah.

1705
02:04:00.360 --> 02:04:01.170
Manny: Yeah.

1706
02:04:01.170 --> 02:04:10.049
Jeezy: I think that's absolutely… and I think this is actually becoming quite common in North Carolina. They had… it was a little… it was delayed last year and the year before that.

1707
02:04:10.500 --> 02:04:21.689
Jeezy: So I think it's wild that you haven't even passed a budget for this year, and the year's about to end, and what does that leave for the budget for next year? Because a lot of these public schools are running on fumes of.

1708
02:04:21.690 --> 02:04:22.300
Manny: Dear.

1709
02:04:22.300 --> 02:04:26.509
Jeezy: what they have, and… But we love our teachers, though.

1710
02:04:26.510 --> 02:04:27.840
Manny: We love our teachers.

1711
02:04:27.970 --> 02:04:29.080
Jeezy: Love that teacher.

1712
02:04:29.080 --> 02:04:32.600
Manny: The teachers in North Carolina have a,

1713
02:04:32.880 --> 02:04:37.540
Manny: I won't say a protest day, but they have a Capitol Day coming up in May.

1714
02:04:37.540 --> 02:04:38.639
Jeezy: Yeah, I think so.

1715
02:04:38.840 --> 02:04:42.170
Manny: So there'll be some ample discussions around that.

1716
02:04:42.860 --> 02:04:46.750
Chuck: Yeah, and speaking of that, also, once the,

1717
02:04:47.380 --> 02:05:04.730
Chuck: legislature that came back. Shout out to fellow Pirate and fellow Fayetteville 26er Tamika Kelly. She is the president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, and she was speaking,

1718
02:05:05.250 --> 02:05:10.320
Chuck: out in front of the Capitol on last week, in reference to

1719
02:05:10.850 --> 02:05:18.839
Chuck: all things, you know, teachers and teachers pay, and the budget. And it's crazy, Annie, you spoke on,

1720
02:05:19.120 --> 02:05:21.550
Chuck: The proposed pay increase.

1721
02:05:21.860 --> 02:05:33.410
Chuck: I've seen a teacher say that she is for an increase, overall. They need to be paid more, and, like, a starting rate of, like, $50,000.

1722
02:05:33.850 --> 02:05:42.149
Chuck: But what's crazy is, she says she has 20-something years in, and she would only see an increase of over $2,000.

1723
02:05:42.380 --> 02:05:44.590
Chuck: Right. Although, the starting page…

1724
02:05:44.590 --> 02:05:45.760
Manny: Gas prices.

1725
02:05:46.130 --> 02:05:55.450
Chuck: Yes, the starting pay increases, you know, I think it was, like, a $7,000 to $8,000 jump, and to start it.

1726
02:05:55.620 --> 02:05:59.659
Chuck: 50,000, but she said she wouldn't even be at 60 yet.

1727
02:05:59.900 --> 02:06:01.360
Chuck: with the increase.

1728
02:06:01.620 --> 02:06:07.740
Chuck: From where she is now, and the pay for teachers all those years in, to…

1729
02:06:07.740 --> 02:06:08.460
Jeezy: Yeah.

1730
02:06:08.470 --> 02:06:20.090
Chuck: the increase over time, and with that start, and for someone to come in making 50, and I've gotten 20-plus years in, and I'm not even at 60 yet?

1731
02:06:20.440 --> 02:06:25.130
Chuck: So, they… there is a lot of work to be done

1732
02:06:25.320 --> 02:06:27.349
Chuck: From that front, for sure.

1733
02:06:27.350 --> 02:06:30.390
Jeezy: It needs to be a focal point, for sure, because…

1734
02:06:30.640 --> 02:06:35.779
Jeezy: I've had this conversation with people when they come to teachers, and if we…

1735
02:06:36.180 --> 02:06:48.629
Jeezy: We value doctors and nurses, and I think teachers should be valued just as much. You have a lot of children that go through the public school system.

1736
02:06:48.820 --> 02:06:51.639
Jeezy: And the lack of resources and pay.

1737
02:06:51.920 --> 02:06:54.370
Jeezy: When they're not only just teachers.

1738
02:06:55.090 --> 02:07:05.930
Jeezy: one thing that I have a joy of is when you see some of these athletes, they talk about some of these people that believed in them. And they're not just teachers, they're counselors, they're, you know.

1739
02:07:05.930 --> 02:07:07.659
Manny: It's the ecosystem around that.

1740
02:07:07.660 --> 02:07:13.460
Jeezy: Yes, they… some of the… some of these children, the only stability they have is when they come to school from 8 to 3.

1741
02:07:13.950 --> 02:07:16.399
Jeezy: And for a teacher to…

1742
02:07:16.710 --> 02:07:24.539
Jeezy: you know, 20-plus years. And even down to the system where, even if you have your master's, that doesn't give you any extra bump in pay, it's just…

1743
02:07:24.540 --> 02:07:25.100
Chuck: Nope.

1744
02:07:25.100 --> 02:07:27.790
Jeezy: Alright, thank you for going to learn more, so…

1745
02:07:28.320 --> 02:07:31.259
Jeezy: Here's a classroom with 35 kids and figure it out.

1746
02:07:31.260 --> 02:07:37.380
Chuck: Thank you for being highly qualified, and the only thing that can get you, if you want to pursue it, is being an assistant principal.

1747
02:07:37.380 --> 02:07:37.980
Jeezy: Yep.

1748
02:07:38.450 --> 02:07:41.260
Jeezy: And it's crazy, because…

1749
02:07:41.450 --> 02:07:54.689
Jeezy: My oldest child's kindergarten teacher is the principal for my youngest daughter, well, my middle baby, and she just got her doctorate and is a principal and been a principal for a couple of years, but my oldest child is 18.

1750
02:07:56.080 --> 02:07:56.730
Jeezy: to…

1751
02:07:56.730 --> 02:07:57.240
Chuck: Yeah, man.

1752
02:07:57.240 --> 02:08:03.670
Jeezy: Think about the timeline it took for her to get that achievement, and the work she had to put in, and…

1753
02:08:04.080 --> 02:08:08.799
Jeezy: what they get paid, or what they get, you know, the resources they receive. It's just sad.

1754
02:08:08.920 --> 02:08:10.240
Jeezy: And I'm not saying…

1755
02:08:10.240 --> 02:08:11.520
Manny: First off, cheesy.

1756
02:08:11.690 --> 02:08:13.130
Manny: They get, they get some…

1757
02:08:13.130 --> 02:08:13.710
Chuck: Yeah.

1758
02:08:13.710 --> 02:08:15.060
Manny: Okay, okay.

1759
02:08:15.060 --> 02:08:26.720
Jeezy: They deserve them somewhere, so may you have something as bad as some of these kids are. I tell my wife all the time, I couldn't do it, because I know I'd be in jail within the week. And I'm not talking about by Friday, I'm talking about if I start on Monday.

1760
02:08:26.720 --> 02:08:28.090
Chuck: I might make a difference.

1761
02:08:28.090 --> 02:08:28.959
Jeezy: Doom thing.

1762
02:08:28.960 --> 02:08:34.079
Chuck: Tuesday afternoon, your name on the news. When you get the kids, man, these parents are trash.

1763
02:08:34.080 --> 02:08:35.949
Jeezy: Bruh, the parents are oop, man.

1764
02:08:36.580 --> 02:08:38.210
Jeezy: We were proper people.

1765
02:08:39.700 --> 02:08:43.970
Jeezy: When you had real parents, and real grandparents.

1766
02:08:43.990 --> 02:08:45.549
Chuck: When you had real grandparents.

1767
02:08:45.550 --> 02:08:51.660
Jeezy: And did not play about your school education. My grandma used to call it the schoolhouse.

1768
02:08:51.660 --> 02:08:53.360
Chuck: Yes, sir.

1769
02:08:53.360 --> 02:08:57.180
Jeezy: When I send you up to that schoolhouse, you better act like you got some sense.

1770
02:08:57.180 --> 02:08:58.180
Chuck: Yes, sir.

1771
02:08:58.180 --> 02:09:03.130
Jeezy: These parents are trash, man. I've had one parent tell my mother-in-law.

1772
02:09:03.560 --> 02:09:12.890
Jeezy: Well, that ain't my problem. When they deal with you, you supposed to deal with them. When they deal with me, I deal with them. But what you do when they with you is affecting what they do to me when they get to this school.

1773
02:09:12.890 --> 02:09:13.720
Chuck: Right.

1774
02:09:13.720 --> 02:09:15.949
Jeezy: Parents don't show up, parents don't support.

1775
02:09:16.110 --> 02:09:16.670
Chuck: Nope.

1776
02:09:16.670 --> 02:09:19.860
Jeezy: And that's… that's… man, I can get on a whole gripe with that.

1777
02:09:19.860 --> 02:09:20.360
Chuck: Yumi will…

1778
02:09:20.360 --> 02:09:22.540
Jeezy: And they talk about being pro-life.

1779
02:09:25.010 --> 02:09:27.349
Chuck: Life only begins after this.

1780
02:09:27.350 --> 02:09:28.120
Jeezy: Mmm.

1781
02:09:28.530 --> 02:09:29.390
Chuck: Yes, sir.

1782
02:09:29.390 --> 02:09:36.610
Jeezy: But we don't support these public school teachers, man, and give these kids the resources, and most kids… folks can't afford, private.

1783
02:09:36.710 --> 02:09:38.239
Jeezy: Plus, can't afford homeschool.

1784
02:09:38.620 --> 02:09:42.699
Jeezy: They gotta send the kids to that, and we gotta make sure we got the right resources for it, but…

1785
02:09:42.980 --> 02:09:50.259
Jeezy: I'mma leave that alone. I'mma leave that alone. My spotlight. My spotlight is something that sounds like more of a Netflix docuseries.

1786
02:09:50.660 --> 02:09:53.310
Jeezy: I don't know if y'all been paying attention, bro.

1787
02:09:53.880 --> 02:10:03.900
Jeezy: But, there's an ongoing investigation into a string of deaths and disappearances that are involving, these scientists and research techs, and I don't know if y'all been keeping up with it.

1788
02:10:05.250 --> 02:10:08.079
Chuck: I ain't been keeping up, but it's been interesting.

1789
02:10:08.350 --> 02:10:10.419
Jeezy: But that smoke, that fire.

1790
02:10:10.790 --> 02:10:11.210
Jeezy: Look, it's.

1791
02:10:11.210 --> 02:10:11.760
Manny: warm.

1792
02:10:14.000 --> 02:10:24.559
Jeezy: But there have been multiple scientists across different fields that have either died under unusual circumstances or are going missing. And I think this past week, we had the 12th

1793
02:10:24.970 --> 02:10:39.479
Jeezy: individual that has gone missing. These cases initially are looked at as accidents or natural causes, but investigators are now reexamining these connections and looking at possible patterns, because there definitely seems to be a connection.

1794
02:10:40.880 --> 02:10:46.529
Jeezy: to some of this. And it's starting to pick up steam, because now people are like, okay, what is going on?

1795
02:10:46.530 --> 02:10:47.689
Manny: This is strange.

1796
02:10:47.690 --> 02:11:05.340
Jeezy: This is… this is very, very strange. I mean, in some of these cases, man, like, you know, there was an astrophysicist, he just… they said he just committed suicide. There was no foul play, but they're like, mmm, no, we might have to look at this again. There was one guy that he always would go on his walks and work, you know, work out and stuff.

1797
02:11:05.670 --> 02:11:10.999
Jeezy: said, like, 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, home… he normally would wear his Apple Watch out.

1798
02:11:11.260 --> 02:11:15.820
Jeezy: Kept all his devices off, left the house, and ain't been seen since.

1799
02:11:16.410 --> 02:11:22.409
Jeezy: And now you know how the internet get the buzzin'. You know, we get our, Don't F with Cats community going.

1800
02:11:23.310 --> 02:11:27.409
Jeezy: And people are saying, hey, There's some cap to this. Something's going on.

1801
02:11:27.720 --> 02:11:34.399
Jeezy: And, they don't know what, but it's starting to pick up steam up to the fact where you have those in Washington that are starting to say, hey.

1802
02:11:34.780 --> 02:11:42.539
Jeezy: might be time for us to start looking and doing some research into this, because there may be a connection to this. So, that's my spotlight, because…

1803
02:11:42.780 --> 02:11:49.319
Jeezy: I've been seeing it for a couple of weeks building up, and I think when I started seeing it, it was, like, maybe 7 or 8 had gone missing, or…

1804
02:11:49.470 --> 02:12:04.519
Jeezy: had passed away or whatever, but now I'm like, okay, we're up to, like, 12, and this is like, okay, there may be some connection to this that's happening that is, underneath the surface. So I want to keep my eye on that, and I want y'all to keep it, especially our 104Head community. Y'all let us know.

1805
02:12:04.830 --> 02:12:08.279
Manny: If you see something, say something.

1806
02:12:08.280 --> 02:12:12.580
Jeezy: as a classic saying, it's cool, you see something, say something. And there was that dude.

1807
02:12:14.320 --> 02:12:20.699
Chuck: just a week or two ago was saying, hey, I'm not trying to harm myself, I love myself, I ain't giving suicide.

1808
02:12:21.260 --> 02:12:23.899
Chuck: And guess what, folks? They said he committed suicide.

1809
02:12:24.200 --> 02:12:28.530
Jeezy: Something ain't right. As a country folk say, there's a dead cat on the line somewhere.

1810
02:12:32.570 --> 02:12:40.729
Jeezy: But that is my spotlight, and I'm gonna keep an eye on that, and you guys keep an eye on that with me as well, too. So, we have reached the conclusion of our episode, and…

1811
02:12:40.830 --> 02:12:51.790
Jeezy: We want to thank you, the listeners, for tuning in to lend us your ear for the duration of this episode. My brothers, all hearts and minds clear, anything, you want to say, anything you want to, let the people know.

1812
02:12:52.080 --> 02:13:11.090
Chuck: I just want to say shout out to, all my pioneers who have come over and given me a listen on Encompass Podcast. Get that backup going where I'm dropping, regular programs, but I have 20 episodes that are out, that'll do you some good. I'm not as,

1813
02:13:11.340 --> 02:13:21.089
Chuck: boisterous on there as I am here. But, shout out, I've had some new listeners, and I'm pretty sure they've come over from here, because just looking at the locations, it's very interesting.

1814
02:13:21.090 --> 02:13:21.600
Jeezy: Yeah.

1815
02:13:21.600 --> 02:13:23.150
Chuck: Shout out to y'all.

1816
02:13:23.150 --> 02:13:26.960
Jeezy: Yeah, go check that out, y'all, Encompass Podcast by our brother Chuck.

1817
02:13:27.180 --> 02:13:30.260
Jeezy: Wisdom that you can get for free for now.

1818
02:13:30.460 --> 02:13:41.950
Chuck: Oh yeah, let me… for now. Oh, let me spell it for you, because it's not the regular spelling, sir. It's N-C-O-M-P-A-S-S-D. N, the letter N, C-O-M-P-A-P-A-S-S-D.

1819
02:13:42.880 --> 02:13:45.569
Jeezy: Alright. Yes, sir. Manny, you good, brother.

1820
02:13:45.710 --> 02:13:52.019
Manny: And for me, I just want to… first, I want to congratulate the Carolina Hurricanes on sweeping the Ottawa Center.

1821
02:13:52.020 --> 02:13:52.630
Jeezy: Yay!

1822
02:13:52.630 --> 02:13:53.760
Chuck: Yeah, shout out.

1823
02:13:53.760 --> 02:13:54.830
Manny: round of the playoffs.

1824
02:13:54.830 --> 02:13:56.410
Chuck: Haunting, haunting.

1825
02:13:56.580 --> 02:14:01.709
Manny: Hopefully the Avalanche will do the same here with the LA Kings here shortly.

1826
02:14:01.820 --> 02:14:06.619
Manny: But yeah, playoff season is in full effect across all the sports.

1827
02:14:06.620 --> 02:14:16.190
Jeezy: hey, man, look, my family, I've been excited because my Orlando manager got a win over Detroit to take a 2-1 lead in the series, so, you know.

1828
02:14:16.190 --> 02:14:17.039
Chuck: What is my height?

1829
02:14:17.040 --> 02:14:18.570
Jeezy: I know.

1830
02:14:18.570 --> 02:14:19.340
Chuck: Hi.

1831
02:14:19.340 --> 02:14:37.499
Jeezy: I don't know if we're gonna reach the finish line, but I'm gonna enjoy the victory we got right now. I've been kinda getting my middle baby a strong Orlando Magic fan, so she's on the bandwagon with me and has that energy, so it's cool to experience that with her.

1832
02:14:37.500 --> 02:14:46.899
Jeezy: So Orlando, y'all keep going for as long as you can, and coach Mosley, you got a job until you lose, and after that, you already know what's gonna happen, so…

1833
02:14:46.900 --> 02:14:48.190
Chuck: No!

1834
02:14:48.190 --> 02:15:05.230
Jeezy: Yeah, he done, bruh. I love you, coach, but you done. But, yeah, that is all for us to our listeners. We hope this episode finds you in the best place possible, and if not, just know that the boys here at the podcast, we love you. We are grateful for your listen, and we hope to see you at the next episode. Take care, world.
