Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh dissect Donald Trump's election victory, arguing Democrats lost due to poor leadership and a failure to leverage new media like podcasts compared to legacy outlets. They analyze Elon Musk's proposed Department of Government Efficiency, debate Project 2025's implications for a potential third term, and discuss the controversial sentencing of Sean "Diddy" Combs to probation rather than prison. The episode concludes with anecdotes about 50 Cent's business feuds and a pledge to support Dr. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's geopolitical agenda, suggesting that future political landscapes will be defined by media fragmentation and shifting cultural norms.

MAGA Nail Polish Coming Off00:14:32
MAGA!
Today's nail polish coming off.
Al got like three more weeks of nail polish.
Trump's America nail polish is done.
What are the new pronouns, Akash?
Tell them the new pronoun A slash GA.
MacGuh.
That order is back.
That one is off.
That Lord is back.
Everything's back.
When we walked in, Dove was singing, MAGA, Nugget, MAGA, Nugget, MAGA, Nagila, MAGA.
Listen, we've been very fair and unbiased about this election.
Unlike some of us, Alex has been riding Kamala's fucking roti for the last three months.
That's good.
That's an Indiana.
That was good.
And Dove, why don't you just stand directly in front of all three cameras?
Why don't you just put the Chablis down?
I'll put it down.
Oh, we know.
We know you gotta eat first.
We know you gotta eat first.
What a surprise.
Dove comes somewhere.
He's not welcome and won't leave.
They get kicked out.
It's 110.
We call you the little hats and you're wearing the biggest hat possible.
Why are you doing that?
Okay, okay.
In all seriousness, I want to have a conversation.
You're not wearing your son, Yamaka, bro.
What?
No, no.
Sit in his backpack.
It's his lucky charm.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
But in all seriousness, guys, let's have a real conversation.
Alex, what are you feeling?
You know, what's going on in your mind?
You know, how are you dealing with the information?
Nah, it's a great day.
You know, woke up to racist text messages and DMs and stuff.
A lot of S's in that word for you, right?
Yeah, it was.
What'd they say?
Who racist text messaging?
Yeah.
That's me.
Oh, just Jet DMs.
Just DMs.
Yeah, come on.
Just message the victim.
Right?
No, but my group chat of all black guys.
They got to hit me with that.
And they happy, bro.
They're happy.
Oh, they are.
Come on.
I burnt the bag up.
I shouldn't have gone to you first.
I knew you were going to bring down the mood.
Mark, yeah, tell me what the family celebration was like.
What was the group chat doing?
Group chat's divided.
Group chat's divided.
Why?
Some people are like, hell yeah, Trump's president.
Let's fucking go.
The other half is like the corporations have taken over and Satan is now in charge.
Because ultimately, all politicians serve Satan.
Okay.
So there's no political discord.
Yo, Mark's mom is the shit.
We should have had her on today.
That would have been the best.
And just watch her just laser beam Dove for two hours on a podcast.
Straight into his soul.
You guys knew who was going to win.
Dove would convert.
Dove would absolutely convert.
Okay.
What are you feeling, Akash?
Yo, you know, I kind of smugly satisfied.
Like, this is what y'all get.
Y'all didn't want to come on flagrant.
You know, they told us it was too big of a risk.
It was too big of a risk for Kamala to come on.
Okay, you fucking loser.
You know what I mean?
Like, you know, it's a kind of a risk in not doing any big podcasts.
Bro, you know what?
We told a little Chinese man once he was running for mayor of New York City.
Yeah.
We say, yo, if you want to, if you want to be mayor, you got to come on flagrant.
The only way that you could be mayor of New York City is if you come on flagrant.
Yep.
Said it was too big of a risk.
And now look at him.
Where is he?
Selling your name?
For five years?
Selling insurance in Wisconsin.
Yeah, he has a nice podcast.
Does he?
That records at WTF Media Studio.
Oh, my God.
With all due respect, he's great.
He's absolutely amazing.
Are you sure it's him?
It is over in Canal Street, so I don't want to.
I just want to make sure you're not being racist right now.
He's delivering my sushi.
It is weird.
It's weird that he collects rent for me at the end of the month.
That is a peculiar arrangement.
Now, yeah, just a wild time.
It's just a wild time.
Okay, let's get into a lot of different conversations.
Well, how are things in your household?
Oh, I didn't tell y'all.
Or maybe I did tell y'all.
I tried to pull Larry David yesterday.
Because, you know me, the idea of like going to vote is just seems like such an effort.
Oh, my God.
And then my address was in a different place.
And I was like, I'm not going all the way up to that polling thing.
So my wife.
Five blocks away.
No, no, it was on the 58th.
Oh, good.
Business manager put the address, like a whole thing, whatever.
Anyway, so I asked my wife, I'm like, yo, who are you voting for?
She goes, I'm voting for Kamala.
You know, like, we have a daughter and I'm worried about her reproductive rights.
Let's go.
And I was like, that's a good ass point.
That's a good ass point.
And then I also hold on.
I also calculated, I was like, probably got another couple elections before the reproductive rights are going to kick in.
I think we can fix that shit up.
We got about two or three more before we're going to need one of them.
Two or three.
Come on.
About five or six, hopefully.
No, you're right.
You're right.
Why am I even saying that?
Eight to twelve.
How many years did I think Trump was going to be there?
Forever.
You heard that shifty?
MAGA.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
There's no 850.
MAGA.
Yeah, we never have to vote again.
How convenient is that?
No more elections.
Anyway, nice.
So I asked my wife, I'm like, yo, who are you voting for?
She goes, Kamala.
And I'm like, all right, look, I want to do a Larry David with you.
So I'm going to vote Trump.
You're going to vote Kamala.
If neither of us vote, then we did vote.
Yeah.
Right?
Because they cancel each other out.
This is a Larry David Kirby enthusiasm episode.
She goes, all right, that kind of makes sense.
Then hits me up midway through the day.
I went and voted.
I said, this motherfucker.
I said, this motherfucker is trying to get one over on me.
I rolled right to the closest precinct.
I said, yo, can I vote here even though I'm not signed up?
And they were like, yeah, this is America.
You don't even need an ID.
You don't even need to speak English.
You could walk in here with a Venezuelan flag and a gun and you could vote.
So I walked in there and they were like, you could sign an affidavit or some other bullshit.
And I just voted.
Hell yeah.
Evened it out.
They take them shits thrown right off.
They try to do extra work.
They do.
All right.
So let's get into this discussion real quick.
What do you think the real decision was that was made by the American public?
Economy.
You think it was a kind of, in my estimation, this is what I think it was a referendum on liberal politics and leftist politics.
I don't think it was Trump populism.
I think a lot of people are going, this is Trump is this amazing populist and he was just so engaging and everybody just fucking loved him.
No, I actually think in the same way that people voted anti-Trump, let's say in 2020, I think people were voting anti-Democratic leadership in 2024.
And I think that's evident across the board.
I mean, you saw your DA in California get knocked down.
The Republicans flip the Senate.
The voter turnout is much higher.
They win every, does he win every swing state?
I don't know if she got a single one, dude.
So, like, to me, it's a rejection of the current state of liberal politics and the fact that those people felt concerns that were not met by Democrats on the campaign trail.
They had no real answer for the border.
They just gaslit people about the border.
They had no real answer for the economy.
They had no real answer for anything.
Nope.
So I think it was one, a rejection of liberal politics.
And then, two, just like a truly like once-in-a-lifetime awful candidate.
I don't think that you can, I don't think that you can just, what is it, discredit or not discredit, but discount.
I don't think you can discount that.
Yeah.
Like you need to have a star.
Yep.
Do you know what I mean?
Like when I saw Obama on the campus pantry, I was like, holy shit, this guy's a fucking superstar.
And then you see her like flopping around like a fish on, you know, on a boat.
You know, it's like, it was just brutal, you know?
So I think it was a rejection of leftist policies and leftist politics, along with just a truly horrible candidate.
The other part of the politics I think that people were fed up with was just the games Democrats play in the guise of democracy.
And like, we're the ones who care about the people.
Nobody elected Kamala, just like nobody wanted Hillary in 2016.
You just, you're so eager to have a woman president or whatever it is.
Whatever your reasoning is, this is the corporate person.
Fuck actual democracy in action during the primaries.
Let's put in the candidate we want.
And then I think it's one of the worst campaigns.
I think she could be a good candidate.
Maybe the worst campaign I've ever seen in my life.
Is legacy media done?
Legacy media is done.
So I have theories on this.
I think, okay, because you got to look at it two ways.
Is legacy media done or was Kamala so bad that even with the influence of legacy media, they couldn't get it over the hump?
For example, if Michelle was running or if or if Barack was running with legacy media in its current state, I think they might be able to still get it over the, that's, it's amazing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But so I don't think legacy media is completely done.
But I do think that there is something very interesting that happened here.
Legacy media still gets the eyeballs.
It still gets the views and it still has cultural influence.
Up until election night, we all thought that it was a close race.
Yeah.
That's legacy media.
That is constantly pushing narratives that not only is it close, she might be ahead.
Iowa is going to her.
She's going to flip all the states.
It's going to be an absolute mauling, right?
That is legacy media pushing a narrative and people believing said narrative.
Right.
So, I mean, if you look at all the pollsters, they had her winning day of.
Yeah.
Like outside of like polymarket, which I don't even know if you can credit because it's just dudes gambling.
It's like there's no actual women representing that.
I was like, women aren't gambling.
Yeah.
I don't.
So, so I look at this.
I look at legacy media and I'm like, okay, now here's the difference.
And I'm not just saying this because we're podcasters, but Trump went on podcasts, did these long interviews.
Kamla did some podcasts too.
But most of them were short, very contrived interviews.
It was very controlled.
It was things edited out.
It was, you know, it wasn't exactly the free form speech that we're kind of used to.
Also, specifically targeted to one demographic.
Like you could tell in the last month that the campaign was like, we want black people to come out and vote.
And we really aren't trying to reach out to anybody else.
Yeah.
Which is a huge, I think, problem for them because they just got lower all-around turnout.
Yeah.
And maybe if they spoke to more people, then more people could have been inspired.
But here's the thing that happens.
One thing that podcasting has done that's been really effective is built community and connection, right?
Like if you look at the biggest touring stand-up comedians in the world, right?
It's they all have podcasts where they've built this amazing community and connection.
And like we talk to people every single week.
They know intimate details about our life.
To me, what that's proven is that just because people are famous doesn't mean you go out.
Yeah.
Right.
Connection is actually what makes people go out.
There are comics on SNL that I don't know if they could sell out a weekend of shows at a comedy club.
You know, they're on the biggest comedy platform in the world.
And then there are comics who have podcasts that can sell out arenas.
Yeah.
To me, the difference between new media and legacy media is connection.
Okay.
The purpose of this podcast is to get people invested in our lives and then be along for that journey, be it we go do stand-up shows, we go do some sort of live tour, some live activation, just be part of our lives.
The purpose of legacy media is to sell depression pills.
That is the purpose of the show.
Yeah.
They're creating the show so that they can sell those depression pills.
That's not to say we don't have ads.
Of course we have ads.
We didn't originally for months, a year when we started this.
The purpose of this was to build a community and a connection.
And I think that fatal flaw, her not going onto these podcasts, is that people weren't able to make that connection.
And just as people come out to shows because they build that connection with us here, they came out to vote because he built that connection.
People leave the house.
When they didn't have to leave the house to vote, they voted for Biden.
They mailed it in.
When they had to leave the house to go to a stand-up show or leave the house to vote, you better fucking, we talk about this all the time.
It's an investment.
Putting on fucking clothes, standing in line for a couple hours.
And we only mailed it in because we were locked inside for six months and we had nothing else to do.
For sure.
I'm not mailing in if I can go outside and do things.
Sure.
Because we could have mailed in this time, but we're not.
I think when I say legacy media is done, I mean they can still set a narrative.
People still watch it.
Their influence is them being the most influential force in the world is done.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if I don't, I wouldn't say done.
I would just say that like they don't have the connectivity.
And the great disruption with new media is the connectivity.
Yeah.
And before, and the reason why I create the analogy with comics is like there, before there were comics that could sell out shows by being in a commercial.
Like they're in a commercial for Pepsi and they could sell out a week of shows just because there were so few famous people.
Now everybody has gone viral.
Yeah.
What type of connection do you have with your audience?
I think legacy media just hits a different crop of voters.
It's like with the advent of like TikTok, it's like, is Facebook done?
It's like, well, I think Facebook just kind of hits like a different group of people in a different age bracket in a different geography.
And I think legacy media effectively does the same thing.
I think younger people are probably seeking connection more so.
And that community, specifically digitally, is probably more valuable to younger people.
Whereas like, I don't know, our parents are not listening to podcasts, but they'll probably tune in to CNN or Fox or whatever, and they'll watch that and then get their information based off that.
So I think mobilizing young people podcasts is the way to go.
And then as far as getting older people, I think you have to, I think you now are in a position where it's not pick one or the other, but you have to play both.
Yeah.
And she chose not to play one.
Unbelievable.
Or she played it in a specific way that I think hurt her negatively.
It was so dumb.
Yeah.
Like Caller Daddy, I don't think you can discount.
Breakfast Club, I don't think you can discount.
But I think in order to get all of them, you need to do all of them.
Like they only did outside of Caller Daddy, it felt like they only did black podcasts.
And to me, if I'm an American voter, it's, I'm almost like insulted by it.
I'm like, hey, we're here too.
Like, I know we don't live in fucking Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, but we also care about what you're going to do for us.
And if you're just talking about these things the month before the election, we might feel like you don't give a fuck about what's going on for us.
The way I'm wired, if I'm a black voter, I'm sorry to interrupt.
If I'm a black voter, I start to feel lonely.
You feel pandered too?
Yeah.
Like, what do you do?
All you ever do is you're going to go have a fucking town hall.
You're going to go do all the smoke.
And I got, those are great platforms, but like, that's all you're going to do is just sit here and talk to me.
Like, this is the liberal thing where it's like, yo, you're not equal.
Yeah.
You're, you're a little less than us.
So let's just pander you like you're a fucking moron and you'll buy into it because you're so fucking stupid and helpless as a minority.
Yeah.
Fuck you.
Suck my dick.
Talk to America and I'll listen and I'll choose who I want.
Right.
Sorry, what were you going to say?
Cheney's Economic Party Strategy00:15:20
I think part of the reason Obama got elected was because he got a lot of the black people, the black vote out to actually vote.
A large percentage of the black community do not go out and vote.
So I think that was part of the strategy of targeting a particular group to try to get them as happy and energized to get out to actually vote like Obama did.
I think using podcasts was great strategy on both sides.
This was the first election run that they ever did that.
So it was like it was hit or miss.
What, let's say Trump loses, people would have been like, oh, he wasted all that time going on podcasts instead of just going out and doing rap.
I don't know.
I just talked to him.
No, People could have said that.
This was a game.
Trump lost.
If you log it to that, we'll go.
And so it's like Obama's amazing strategy was utilizing social media during his run.
And that was never seen before.
So I think it was just the fact that they tried new things and some worked, some didn't.
And clearly, Trump connected with people better than Kamala.
So if I can respond to that, sorry.
I think this, if you watch sports, this is what always happens.
If a team goes for it on fourth down and they make it, Coach is a genius.
If they don't, he's an idiot.
It always, hindsight influences everything.
I think even if Trump lost, personally, I would have been like, no, he lost because of January 6th.
He lost because of XYZ, all these other things that happened outside of the podcast world.
If you just look at raw numbers of Joe Rogan and say, oh, 60 million views on YouTube alone for a guy who's still bigger on audio, just hitting that raw number of people, if you're like, no, you know what's going to win me the election, let's go do a black podcast that gets one 100th of that wish.
Charlamagne said to me, the number one podcast with black listenership and viewership in the world is Joe Rogan.
Is Joe Rogan?
So you chose not to go on the biggest podcast for black people in the world.
Like that is a huge shoot.
And while doing that, you could have also hit all these other people as well.
To me, the strategy is they weren't ready for the pushback and they wanted to go on platforms that were going to be more comfortable, you know, with their control and their hands.
Lightsor, last few dates, Reno, we had his second show.
San Jose, Portland, you guys are all sold out.
Thank you so much.
New York City, I love y'all, man.
All four shows sold out.
And then Honolulu, that is the final day.
Go grab those tickets, Honolulu.
Some seats left for that.
Those are the last shows of the life tour.
We love y'all.
We appreciate y'all.
We'll see you out there.
DeAndreSchools.com.
Peace.
Also, guys, shows real quick.
First of all, London, I'm coming through next week.
Maybe we do a little pop-up.
Maybe we don't.
I don't know.
I'm going to be giving a speech at Oxford.
Who would have fucking thought?
Anyway, November 22nd and 23rd, I'm going to be in Rochester at the Carlson.
December 4th, I told you guys these tickets are going to sell out.
We're almost sold out for my shows at Governors in Levittown.
I am a hero in Long Island now.
Before, they didn't like me.
Now they love me.
I wonder why.
Maybe because I got their president elected.
Anyway, December 6th and 7th, I'm going to be in Albany, New York.
I think those are my last dates for the year, but get those tickets.
And we're going to start announcing 2025 dates soon.
Akashing.com.
Let's get back to the show.
Potts Town PA this Friday, November 8th.
I'm going to be at Seoul Joel's.
Do it again without looking at your phone.
I just had to double check.
November 8th.
November 8th.
Let me just do that.
But then Stanford, Connecticut.
Do it again.
Do it again.
Let's do it again.
Cottstown PA this Friday, November 8th.
I'm going to be at Seoul Joel's.
This Wednesday, Stanford, Connecticut.
I'm going to be at New York Comedy Club.
I can't wait to see you guys there.
Is that it?
Is that all we got?
World Fast Stat Read.
You didn't say New York's Comedy Club is.
This could be your head right there, ladies.
You didn't say Stanford?
I want to make it fast.
That way people go.
But they're going to think that it's right here.
No, Stanford, Connecticut.
New York Community.
One more time.
Right here.
Or guys.
If it's too long, I think we're going to skip.
Hypotheticalistic combo does go on Rogan, goes on Lex, goes on Theo.
Does she win?
I don't think so.
I think fundamentally the strategy of her campaign was flawed from the get-go.
And I think Biden largely like kiboshed her odds by just pulling out so late.
Yes.
That like, even if she had done these things, I think it absolutely would have helped, but I don't think it would have won her the election.
Yeah, I think it would have won her the election if she was good.
Well, yeah.
And the reality is, it's like, we'll never know if she was good because we were never given her.
Right.
And the most real you've ever seen her is when she and Charlemagne were sitting, we're sitting down.
And I was like, Charlamagne, don't have any callers call in.
Don't, I said, no, I'm brilliant idiots.
I was like, you just need to talk to this woman for three fucking hours.
That is the closest that we've seen her to being a real person and not just a politician.
Talk to her.
That is the way that American can get to know her.
America doesn't know her.
They've seen her flip-flop on every single issue, which is okay.
I'm okay if politicians change their mind.
I'm totally okay with that.
But give me an explanation as to why.
They've seen her gaslight about the border.
They haven't answered a single fucking question about the border correctly or with any amount of confidence that made the American people believe that they were going to do something different.
Like there are real issues that they didn't touch on.
And I feel like Charlemagne could be, I'm biased, but I think he could have been the guy to actually push her, push her to answer those questions.
But like Mark said, I think Biden dropping out so late fucked her up.
She didn't have enough time.
She don't win a primary.
I don't think if Biden doesn't run again and they have a primary, she don't win the primary.
Bro, we just got to call it when it is.
Do you think it would have been different?
Do you think it would have been different?
I don't think so.
She had more time to prepare for this run.
I truly don't.
I truly don't.
Here's the reason.
Because the things you're complaining about is like, oh, hey, we didn't hear enough from her.
No, no, no.
If you had more time to hear that.
The horse ain't fast.
That's all it is.
It's like the horse ain't fast.
She's not a Ferrari, bro.
No, I'm not disagreeing with that.
So it's like, so far, what we saw, she had plenty of opportunities to win us over.
It's not like she didn't have every single podcast that she could have gone.
It's not like she didn't go on one podcast that people said, yo, you got to listen to this shit is kind of fire.
No matter what she went on, people were like, this shit sucks.
Right?
The only thing that she did that was pretty good was the Brett Buyer thing on Fox.
I think the caller daddy.
I like the call of daddy, to be honest.
I thought in moment, I'm not, I wasn't like completely floored or whatever, but there were moments where I was like, that was really thoughtful.
And it was a unique way of answering question, that question that didn't sound like a robot was answering it.
And that was maybe I was looking for very little.
I saw that.
To your point, I would say not having time, you had ample opportunity to do Joe Rogan and said, oh, you need to come to me.
And I only give you an hour.
And then these fucking liberal idiots were like, why won't Joe do that?
Joe is Oprah this day and age.
If George W. Bush is running in 2000 and says, I want to be president, Oprah, but I'm not coming to Chicago.
You come to Texas and I give you 20 minutes.
Oprah says, suck my dick, motherfucker.
I'm not doing that.
And we all got it.
Joe got it.
You want to be president?
Don't talk about 90 days.
You needed a day, three hours.
Go to Rogan.
You were campaigning right next door.
Go to Regen.
It's fine.
What she's saying, bro.
But it's fine.
It's still something that's not.
We can't cop please.
Well, that's what people are going to do because they don't want to acknowledge what just happened.
They don't want to acknowledge the reality.
There's going to be some people that I think will move on from this and be like, hey, the Democratic Party did not address the needs of the people.
That's why the people overwhelmingly rejected them.
And hopefully the people that are thinking that are the people in control of the Democratic Party because I don't think anything would make us happier.
Think about this right now.
Like everybody's looking at Trump, right?
As if he's like this big, bad Republican.
Who is surrounding Trump right now?
Tell me his team.
Elon.
RFK.
Democrat.
RFK was a lifelong.
Democrat.
Who else?
Tulsi.
Democrat.
Who else?
Crazy.
Vivek.
Democrat.
Who else?
I don't know if Vivek was a Democrat.
I thought he was a lifelong Democrat.
Not that I know of.
Okay.
But either way, my point is great.
And who has got Kamala's back?
Fucking Cheney.
Oh, my God.
Say, get the fuck out of here.
My point is, you have Obama, Michelle.
I mean, Obama and Michelle is a different thing.
They are the institution of the Democratic Party.
Vivek did vote for Obama, he admitted.
He was a libertarian, but the point that I'm trying to make is that she is the representative of the institution, and the institution wasn't meeting the demands of the people.
I mean, the Democrats haven't won an election in the last 20 years that wasn't Obama or Obama's VP.
Think about that.
Like, we're really just voting for Obama and she was too derivative.
That's how much we love Obama.
We're like, if you're close enough to Obama, we'll vote for you.
Hillary, you weren't close enough.
Matter of fact, I think you went after him a little bit.
So we remember that shit.
So I just don't think Democrats met the people.
And the reality is, those people that are surrounding Trump right now are these homeless Democrats, these lifelong Democrats, like many of us, lifelong Democrats that feel like the party has left us.
Those are the people.
I mean, look at this.
It's like a perfect metaphor for what's happening right now in America.
Those people right there are going, all right, I'm going to ride with this guy because he at least sees what's happening and he sees that the left has gone too far.
And you know what?
They went there and they were called pariahs.
They're called assholes.
They're called every name under the book.
And the rest of America, the majority, went, now we feel that way too.
The Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney endorsement, like the fact that she touted it was such a strategic error.
Nuclear bomb.
I don't understand that.
The name Cheney, I mean, is, I don't know if there's a worse name in politics.
I saw an interesting tweet when he left as VP.
He had like a 16% approval rating, which is the same as Nixon.
And this is the equivalent of like Clinton running, being like, oh, I got Nixon's endorsement, guys.
You should vote for me.
It's like, it's crazy.
And then Dave Smith posted a clip, and this is just again, legacy media and like us not believing it.
A clip of Whoopee saying to Liz Cheney on The View, You should be attorney general.
I just think you're awesome.
And we're like, What the fuck is people seeing?
Like, this is insane, right?
Watching legacy media say Liz Cheney should, hey, let's put another Cheney in a high position because we trust him.
Like, so, yeah.
So, let's look back at this.
This is a kind of interesting thing.
Uh, obviously, we witnessed something pretty, pretty profound that's happening.
Whether you like it or not, I hope we're all in this position right now where we want it to work out.
Yeah, you know, there was a great moment when Chappelle was doing SNL.
Yeah, I think after Trump won the first time, and he was like, I'm rooting for you, and I hope it works out.
And it was this beautiful moment.
Yeah, I hope you give us the same chance I'm giving you.
Awesome.
And it was a beautiful, it was like, it was really, it was so mature.
Yeah.
It's so easy to be like angry and come up with excuses and all this.
None of that's going to stop what's going on.
Yeah.
Right now, we got to hope that the best years of America are in front of us.
Yeah.
And I hope that this is the golden age once again of America.
Like, I don't think anything would make Americans happier if this wasn't the next golden age that we walked right into.
Right now, coming up into this election, I think we can all agree that we're in an all-time low confidence in the institutions in America, right?
In our lifetime for sure.
I think that's why she lost.
I think the biggest reason why she lost is she didn't do a good enough job of showing that she will be changed.
Yeah.
She didn't.
That's the biggest actually said I'm not going to be able to do that.
People aren't happy and she's more of this.
They wanted a change president.
And they said, would you have done anything different than Biden?
She goes, no.
That's the fact that people lost her.
And I think the economic element of that, I don't think can be understated.
Which is the change that you want to experience is an economic one.
And she's basically saying, I don't think he did anything wrong.
You're sitting at home going, I can't afford food anymore.
I think more than the social issues, personally.
Like maybe those things factor in, but I do think the idea of people being like, fuck, bread is this expensive.
Fucking, I got to buy whatever you're mad about.
Whether it's bread, whether it's migrants, whether it's reproductive rates, like anything bad that happened in the last four, if you don't distance yourself away from that, what that person is mad about, you're the reason for it.
Yeah.
And I saw an interesting analysis of like Obama's election ads, like the ones that he paid for and Kamala's and they did an analysis between them.
And the majority of his were economic.
It's like, hey, we're going to fix this.
He's coming out of the recession.
And then even with his second term, the economy is not fixed perfectly, but he's like, look, we need to change this.
They showed Gresham Whitmer when she was running that she was like, look, inflation is crazy.
And then while Kamala's running, like, there's all these pieces done by these Democratic political writers being like, guys, the economy is actually great.
And they're like gaslighting the general public and being like, guys, whatever you're feeling is actually not true.
And whether or not things actually are on the numbers, people feel like it's not.
You have to express how they're feeling.
And they neglect the feeling.
And as a result, it doesn't matter what it actually is.
It's how people feel.
And the people in the middle of the country that feel like, oh, this shit is not going well.
Inflation is going crazy.
The fact that she neglected that and then was going hard.
And they even did like political polling in like Pennsylvania being like, going at Democrats, being like, okay, which one of these campaign slogans resonates the most with you?
It was economic policy was resonating the most and then Trump being a threat to democracy resonating the least.
And then looking at Kamala's campaign things, it was like 30% was Trump is a threat to democracy.
30% is like abortion and social issues.
And then like a tiny little fraction, like 5% to 10% was economic.
And so she didn't distance herself from the current economic system and then kind of went too wide with all these other issues.
Whereas Trump is just like, hey, we'll fix the economy.
I'm a business guy.
I think Trump is generally beatable from a lot of other Democratic candidates.
I think they could have run people.
I don't think he's like an unbeatable guy.
I mean, Biden beat him.
And Pete would have killed him.
And so, with that being said, it's like they just ran a bad person too late with a bad strategy.
Yeah, I'm trying to think.
I don't know who beats him, honestly.
I think that I think Pete is incredibly astute and charming and eloquent.
There is a pathway to him becoming president, and he just has to say that he's the top.
I know it sounds crazy.
I know it sounds crazy, but if Al.
He said this before.
Oh, no, no, no.
He's my set on Patriot.
He's not gay for the top.
Well, I think America would be like, yeah, all right, whatever.
Yeah.
I genuinely, but the idea that he's getting bent over with his back arched and his boyfriend is like having his fingers in his mouth and pulling him like that.
Wow.
Why do you bring that up?
Yeah, that's what you guys are going to be thinking about in the booth.
What the?
When you're filling out your affidavits, that's what's going to be.
And you kind of lean over to vote too.
Like, you're kind of bent over a little bit of a body.
He's like over your shoulder.
So if he's a top, I think he could definitely win.
And it sucks.
Isn't that a shame?
But he could be top.
There's a 50% chance, really.
And honestly, I don't know if Trump could beat a man.
Yeah.
So far, it's only beaten women.
But that beats the fuck out of him.
Yo, he destroys fucks women out.
Yo, no woman ever run against fucking Trump, man.
Yo, I was thinking this because people were saying, like, it's just sad that people don't care about women's rights and blah, blah, blah.
I think when you go into the voting booth, if you got kids and you are hurting financially, it's like, hey, man, all that shit sucks, but this is kill.
I need to feed my kids.
And that's all that's going to matter.
I do still think so many of this could have, so much of this could have been fixed campaign-wise.
Like, instead of saying, hey, I wouldn't have distanced anything from Biden, you know what?
We definitely didn't do anything perfect.
You want to sell him out?
Great.
Well, you know, Biden and I did everything together.
We're a team.
Sell his ass out.
So he made some mistakes.
Sell his ass out from it.
Yeah, he wouldn't even know you were selling him out.
It's also funny that Biden called me the N-word.
That's what I would say.
Day one.
I'd be like, this guy's a race.
I vote out of here.
It's about the end.
I vote for Biden again.
Yeah, I thought we voted for Biden.
Campaign Mistakes and Teamwork00:06:52
Let him run again.
No, no, no, no.
Let him walk up the stairs.
Yeah, honestly, we talk about this strategy as if there's not like it's one person making the decision.
There's hundreds of billions of dollars behind each of these decisions.
So for y'all to fuck up this hard is insane to me.
For you to not understand the reach of podcasts, you're not just Kamala Harris.
They understood it.
They didn't want the risk.
That's what I think it is.
And they didn't want her to be exposed.
High reward, bro.
Yeah, that's but Trump's not worried.
But Trump's not worried about it.
But you know what I mean?
Like, he's like, I can handle this.
I'm used to people saying the worst possible thing about me for the last fucking eight years.
It doesn't even matter.
So, whereas Kamala, they basically had to protect her a little bit.
You know, is what it is.
Okay, so moving forward.
You asked in the group chat, what day was it?
Like a big Sunday or Monday?
Like Queen thought would win.
And I was like, I think I was the only one.
Trump.
Because I just run away.
I just felt the climate.
Like, I've never seen this much excitement for Trump.
You wore your red hat today.
Respect?
Fuck it.
Respect that.
Come on, bro.
That's a sick man.
You did wear the red hat.
I'm about unity, guys.
Now, here's the thing.
We're on the road every weekend for shows.
I did tell you guys.
Don't do this.
Oh, my God.
I told you guys, I go, I go, it's going to be a mauling.
There's no way that he loses this.
Now, let me tell you real quick.
I'm on the road every weekend for shows.
I come back and I go, I go, I think it's going to be a mauling.
I don't see how he could win.
The energy.
Were you on the road this weekend?
No.
Where were you performing?
I was in the city the night before, and I foolishly decided to ask some audience members who they were voting for and why.
Which audience members?
Some women spoke back.
Weird.
And they had to do it.
Those days were done.
But so basically they spoke back and it seemed like they were really perturbed about the Roe v. Wade ruling.
What was that?
Perturbed?
No, that was the abortion thing?
Yeah.
Yeah, So and here's the reality.
If we just want to talk about it.
Talk about it.
You know what I mean?
These women, man, they.
Can I be honest with you?
Please.
Can I be honest?
No, no, no.
It's not even that crazy thing.
I think that there are women who will never get an abortion in their life that still don't like the idea that something was taken away from them.
And abortion is like their guns.
Do you know what I mean?
It's just like we were allowed to do it and now we're not allowed to.
Abortions are guns is actually fucking.
It's their guns.
That's a firepoint.
Thank you.
You thought Kamala was going to win because you asked a comedy audience in New York City.
I didn't think she was going to win.
They said Kamala and you were like, I didn't think she was.
Wow.
This is America.
I didn't think she was winning.
It's a comedy seller Saturday night.
It was a Monday.
Let me tell you something.
You should get a job on Kamala.
Let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
This is why.
This is what I realized.
I don't talk to women.
Okay.
I have a wife.
I talk to her.
When I'm done talking to her, I'm not trying to hear these bitches.
I got all my talking right there.
Okay.
She didn't talk to me enough about this Roe v. Wade thing.
You know, I didn't get enough Roe v. Wade information for her.
You know, she's busy trying to book a trip to Paris.
That don't seem very Roe v. Wade.
Does it?
Busy having a baby.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
We're holding this beautiful child.
If she got pregnant again, it's a blessing.
It's a blessing.
Okay?
Akash, why are you looking?
You don't even know what happened with Roe v. Wade.
You don't even know what happened with Roe v. Wade.
Do you know what?
Do you know what you want to know about it?
I do want to know.
Do you want to know what happened?
Tell me, please.
I'm dying to know.
I had no idea anything happened.
Do you think that she had the baby or no?
Yo, I think she did have the baby.
Yeah, all this hoopola for nothing.
All this hoopala for nothing.
Hey, whatever happened to that baby?
Do we ever find out?
His name is Donald J. Trump.
What an origin story.
What the fucking origins.
The boy who lives.
The boy who lives.
Nah, nah.
She ended up having a baby.
Right?
Yeah, I think so.
I got a double check, but I'm pretty sure.
Roe or Wade?
Oh, yeah.
There you go.
So talk that shit.
The woman had the baby in 1970, but she wanted an abortion, but she was forced to have the child.
We need to talk up to this kid.
I mean, imagine the Trump.
She was born in Dallas, yo.
Of course she was.
Hey, we didn't want that shit to happen.
What do you mean?
Texas is a very anti-abortion place.
Yeah, but you are a very good-nutted in place.
Girls in Texas like to get cumbed.
Is that a thing?
Dude, everybody knows that.
This is one of the things that we would talk about amongst comedians on the road.
We were like, yo, you got to be careful about Texas.
These girls like it and cumbed in a lot.
I don't know if it's in the illegals.
I truly don't know the reason.
Maybe it's something to do with the weather or the food even, but they love that closeness.
They love that proximity.
And they love the jizz.
Apparently she's living in New Mexico, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They asked her in 2021.
She said, I'm neither pro-choice nor pro-life.
The daughter?
Yeah.
I didn't know that was an option.
Yeah, that seems like a crazy option.
I mean, if you're the daughter, you got to be like, phew.
Right?
Like, you got to be like a little anti-abortion.
She grew up not knowing that she was the baby until her birth mother appeared on the Today Show in 89.
Oh, what an asshole.
The birth moment.
Unless that life is shit.
And she's like, I could have lived without this shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what it seems like.
That's what it seems.
That's heartbreaking.
How did she find out her mom went on a talk show?
Didn't tell her.
Bro, imagine she committed suicide.
Come on, man.
Imagine she committed suicide.
Let's put the intervention in the middle.
Imagine the latest turn.
Mom shows up like, I could have done this shit for you.
Bro, did you hear about the woman that went in that suicide chamber?
Do you hear about this?
They have like the euthanasia chambers and some girl went into it, like did the first successful euthanasia.
And then they looked at the body.
There's like strangle marks on her neck, apparently.
And that pot in the woods?
What chamber just has someone else in there that just strangles the life out of you?
That's fucking disgusting.
But now they're looking into it.
They think it might be foul play that someone killed someone and put them in there.
They're like, no, she killed herself.
Crazy.
I don't know.
I don't know all the details.
That makes a lot more sense than you go to a pod and the guy wants that jokes.
Foul Play in the Woods00:02:34
Yeah.
It's more like DIY.
It's more like a DIY euthanasia chamber.
Mark, this is terrifying.
Not in Trump's America.
Not in Trump's America would have this kind of stuff.
So what are we getting?
Because I do think we swung.
We were the beginning.
American Golden Age.
No, I mean, what are we getting?
We have the tipping point.
I'll leave this.
Before we get into that, can't we just talk about what we hope to see the next four years in America, right?
What we would like in an ideal world.
They put Roe v. Wade back on, turned that back on, flip that one.
He gets to replace two Supreme Court justices, probably.
He might pick two people that are low-key pro-choice.
Exactly.
Because I don't think he was pro.
I think he just wanted to win the election.
I don't think that's a good idea.
I don't think what fuck about.
What's the deal with that?
Are we banging on these people dying?
I think two might retire just because let me, this is what the Democrats didn't do.
Let me just get out now in case I die and there's a Democrat in office and then we could lose our seats.
Democrats are selfish, corrupt fucks.
And their Ruth Bank RBG was like, I'll just die and fuck women in the future.
But I think two, the conservative ones might be like, let's just get out while they're getting this good.
And he can appoint two conservative people in my place.
I understand.
So, but he's still got to get them passed the Senate in the Senate.
And they won't step down unless they know who he's putting in place and they have to be.
Yeah.
Okay.
But basically, I think the smart move would be to protect Roe v. Wade.
Yeah.
And make an effort to protect it.
And don't do this thing where you're just like, well, I'm going to let the states decide.
No, federally protect it.
I think that's what the majority of Americans would want right now.
What makes you think he's going to do that?
Is it wishful thinking?
He's just wishful.
Yeah, it's like when they say they're going to take inflation down, we go, I hope.
You know what I mean?
None of them know how to do it.
But like, this is what you would hope for.
Like someone wins president in eighth grade.
You're like, I'm going to make the soda and the water out.
It's free.
So reparations, guys.
That's it.
That's it.
Wait, can we do reparations for all disenfranchised people?
No.
Why?
No.
Us first.
Let's do gay reparations first.
Gay reparations.
They got the most money anyway.
No, gay reparations, bro.
I am out.
Think about all the gay people that were scrimmaged against, bro.
I'm out.
Think about all the Broadway shows that didn't happen that they could have got paid for.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
Let's do gay reparations.
We'll do black reparations.
All right, guys, listen.
Probably at some point in this episode, I'm not exactly sure when we talked about the election and how Trump waxed that ass.
You could have bet on it.
Could have bet on it.
You could have went with Stake.
You could have put your money where your mouth was.
Yeah, in the mouth.
Did I do it?
Did I bet on it?
Yeah.
Yep.
No, I didn't.
No, you fucked up.
Because you knew, based on your shows as a comedy seller, how things are going to go.
You're 100% right about that.
Gay Reparations First00:04:17
But the point is, you can bet on really almost anything.
I mean, Steak is the leader in global betting and U.S. social casinos.
Really?
I don't even know what a U.S. social casino is.
Do you?
I don't know who you are.
Gamble your friendship.
It's illegal casinos.
Is that really what it is?
Yeah.
We need to get to the bottom of that immediately, Jamil.
I don't think that people really know what a U.S. social casino is.
Why don't they find out at steak?
Shit.
Steak.com.
Steak.com.
Listen, if you use the promo code Flagrant, you're going to get a welcome bonus.
Welcome.
Shit.
That shit is almost as nice as a gift basket.
But I'm serious.
There are things that we could be gambling on.
Will the Democrats storm the Capitol?
Yes.
Please.
Will they do it?
Pussy hats, blue hair, busting down the doors.
January 6th.
Who wants to get hit in the head with this shoe?
Listen, we got to get back to the show.
But listen, let's all hang out at the social casino later.
Let's get back to the show, man.
Okay, no, in all seriousness, what do we hope happens?
There's been talk about Elon getting involved and, you know, what is it, the agency of efficiency, right?
And cutting a lot of the bloats in government.
Yeah.
Do we think that that is a good idea?
What would that look like?
It's a great idea.
If anything gets done on that front, it'd be a win.
But I think it's going to be hard to get a single thing done on that front.
I think the problem is with a lot of these organizations is a government organization will come up and they'll come up and in support of fixing a real problem.
Yep.
Let's say that problem is cats getting in trees, right?
And that agency, you know, lobbies to get some laws passed to make trees, you know, make the trees all be covered in steel so the cats can't climb them or whatever.
All the trees are covered in steel.
Cats can't climb the trees.
We've solved the problem.
Okay?
I like it.
I like to cook cooking.
You fucking liberal cost through coastal elite laughing at my metaphor that actually taps into the heartstrings of good old American people.
Okay.
Thank you, Alex.
Let me catch the tree.
Okay.
You wrap the steel around the trees.
All right.
Especially the willows and the oaks.
And when the willows and oaks are completely wrapped, the cats cannot climb up there.
Why didn't you just go with homelessness?
It's too real.
Cats of people.
It's too real for people.
It's too painful.
It's just a few syllables.
It's not a whole lot of anyway.
I think I've got a great solution to catch the trees, by the way, and nobody's talking about it.
I need a little bit of credit for this, okay?
Think about how many people lose their cat in a fucking tree and they just got to sit there until it runs that energy and falls down.
They solve homelessness.
You know what I mean?
You know what?
Fuck America.
No, I'm not going to mess up, dude.
Come on.
So they solve the problem.
Now, do all those people that work at the Cats in the Trees problem agency, do they immediately retire after they come up with this genius solution?
This genius solution to wrap steel around the city.
No, kids, but still got it.
Kids look out on purpose.
So what do they do?
Trans rights.
See, if y'all just let me cook, I get there always.
I'll believe them.
I said eviction.
I'm a sort of victim, y'all.
Let me cook.
I get this.
Chef Boyar Schultz in the motherfucking building.
Yeah.
But, okay, so the point is, so they find another cause, and the causes get more and more extreme and they get more and more ridiculous.
But I have empathy for these people, right?
Because these people are working.
They solve the job and they're like, well, I'm not going to fucking retire and go find another job.
This is where I work.
Some of these organizations, I'm sure, are doing things that are in the level of necessity, very similar to KIPPA.
And they can fucking get snipped.
Absolutely.
Certainly, there's waste in the institutions, and you just hope they're able to strategically and surgically cut out the waste and the blow without immediately.
Blue Collar Terms Cut00:09:54
When you say it like that, nobody understands.
When you say it like me, they're like, yo, we gotta fucking wrap steel around trees because cats are getting stuck up their organization.
Get rid of it.
As much as a genius as Elon is, does he do it strategically?
Because he went into Twitter, cut like 70 to 80% of the staff.
Yeah.
And Twitter's still down like 80% of his value since he's taken over.
But yeah, but that's perception-based.
And I'm okay with cutting a lot of government jobs.
Like Vivek said, you cut a little muscle.
That's all right with me.
You save a lot of fun.
What is that famous saying?
Cut my life into pieces.
This is my last suffocation.
No breathing.
Fuck it.
Honestly, a great counterpoint.
Yeah.
Sad guru said that.
So I think, I think.
Why is he so sad?
It is a little bit obnoxious.
You're not doing your job if you're a sad guru.
You should be enlightened.
Talk that shit.
That's the whole point.
Talk that shit, bud.
I'm only going to accept it.
It's Trump's America.
If Mudd had won?
If Mudd beat paper, we would be fucked.
That's a sick name for the gang, bro.
Dude, Muds and Crips.
You know what I'm saying?
Dude, the Muds and the Crips.
I kind of like it.
That is kind of cool.
All right.
In all seriousness, what can we expect for an American?
Jesus.
I can say it now.
Why?
Trump won.
That's high.
We bet.
Let's go.
No, one more time, bro.
You can think of something.
No, but I got nothing.
What else can we expect for America?
Obviously, abortions can have come back.
Yep.
You've been right about every abortion day you've had.
When abortion comes back, when abortion comes back.
Ladies, stop being so cavalier about it.
That is important.
Yo, because we had abortion, and then Lena Dunham was out there like, yo, one of my greatest regrets is I ain't getting an abortion.
First of all, that's not totally up to you.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
You know what I'm saying?
That pullout game was on Usain Bolt.
That was stroking her down.
Dude, she could have got a donor.
She could have got a sperm donor.
Just to scoop.
That's you're diabolical.
You are fucking diabolical, Mark.
Well, did you remember the trans person that tried to transition to get an abortion?
Mark, take his new tonic right now.
Mark is on some wild shit right now.
His noose is wild.
We got zin in one hand, new tonic in the other.
What the fuck is going on here, dude?
You know, Mark voted for Trump 13 times.
He voted here and Florida.
Mail it.
No, no, no, good.
What is this crazy story?
There's a trans person tried to transition, be the first trans person to get an abortion.
When are they on camp?
That's a good idea.
When are they on camp?
I've been reaching out to Trump.
You want to go watch it.
I've been reaching out for weeks, bro.
I want to watch that episode.
I haven't responded, okay?
I haven't responded.
It's a woman that's transitioning into a man.
A man transition to a woman.
To get an abortion.
And then get a uterus put in and then get a baby in the middle.
You can't put a uterus in.
Yeah.
You're so small-minded.
I'm not small-minded.
I just know for a fact you can't put it in.
I mean, you can put it in there.
It's just going to float around.
You don't need to catch it.
You're going to get a rocket on chopstick.
You can't put a uterus inside a dude.
Yeah.
Come on.
Catching a rocket with chopsticks is easily.
You just need to make a machine that goes like that.
They are kind of chopsticks when you think about it.
They're kind of already chopsticks.
It's really not that hard.
That's it.
That's it.
You don't think we've made machines go dead?
Come on.
There's one guy in the booths and he just hits a button and it goes dead.
And people acting like this is the greatest invention of all time.
Yeah.
No.
What you just said to me is fucking insane.
Putting a uterus inside of a man.
For the sole purpose of getting pregnant and then having an abortion.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay, gosh, the real thing that's happening.
Yeah, it's a real thing.
No, it's not.
It's not a real thing.
It's one person on the internet that's one fucking kooky mongoloid.
One kooky mongoloid is going to try to do this and then cause a big stir, but not in Trump's.
You know, you already saw what happened day one.
What happened?
The Houthis.
You know who they are?
Yeah.
Rwanda?
Yemen, motherfucker.
The Houthis and Tutsus?
No, no, it's the Tutsis and Hoots.
Oh, Tutsi, okay.
The Houthis.
Okay.
They're in Yemen and they, day one, were like, yo, my bad.
Oh, word?
Day one, they said, my bad.
Trump be bringing the ruckus to these folks, dude.
You gotta, you gotta admit it.
He be shutting them up.
Wait, what did they actually say?
They said, my bad.
I don't know how they pronounce it, but it's true.
What does that translate to in Arabic?
He's killed our operations in the waters off because they basically target ships that are passing and hijacking and doing all the things.
And now all of a sudden it's all good.
Now it's all good because they know what the fuck time it is.
Iran, they need to be worried.
Oh, because didn't they?
He thinks they tried to take him out, right?
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
That's the first people I'm getting my get back on.
Let's go get our corners, Doug.
What about Russia-Ukraine?
That's just done.
He said he would stop that.
That's over immediately.
That's over immediately.
What about these Jews?
I mean, if there's any justification or reason why I would think that they're very happy, it's the fact that I didn't want to go to 58th Street to that polling station.
And Tanya goes, I'll drive you.
So I think we know what side the Jews are on.
Are they banning TikTok?
Oh, yeah.
No.
Why not?
You don't have to do that now.
It's Chinese or something.
He's going to make the U.S. buy TikTok.
No, no, no, no.
I think TikTok's fine.
Even if it's controlled by the Chinese government?
Yeah, what's your deal, dude?
Well, okay, my honest answer is Trump was already elected.
You can't win re-election.
So he's not really worried about that.
So he's like, all right, do whatever you want.
Like, you can influence the next election, but it's not going to be me involved.
So I don't go, fuck.
That's my perception.
I think TikTok, in terms of influencing an election that he's involved in, is way more concerning for him than the following election.
And I think by the next election, he's like, I'm 82.
If my kids aren't running, which I don't think any of them will is like, ah, yeah.
I don't think, I don't know how involved he's going to be, but I can't imagine it's going to be bad.
Yeah.
What about all the tweets?
I've seen people say, like, oh, the America's over.
This guy's going to take Project 2025.
He's going to destroy the country.
No.
I don't think he's into Project 2025.
I don't think he.
I'm not saying everything he said was honest, but I didn't believe.
I believed him when he said, I got nothing to do with that.
That was one thing I believed.
I didn't believe him when he told me I'm going to dial back the rhetoric.
That I have a hard time believing.
But when he was like that, because that just doesn't sound like his shit at all.
And he doesn't seem like he is going to do something because they tell him to.
Either part, anybody.
He's like, you're not going to tell me what to do.
No matter what fucking who you are, I don't care.
I'm going to do what I want to do.
You're going to try to push a little shit on me.
It's not going to happen.
Now, there's a part of me that goes like, he might look back and see FDR got three terms.
No, that might happen.
Somebody just got to not tell Trump that FDR got three terms.
Because it's very possible Trump has no clue FDR was in there for three terms.
But once he finds that shit out of that, oh, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
The fuck did that legless dude get to do three terms for president?
I'm definitely running back for one more.
Bloomberg got an extra term when he was mayor.
Boomberg, we should run that back, to be honest with you.
Of course.
There is a world where that happens, and I would be super against that.
I would be so against that.
That would be the worst possible.
No, no, in all seriousness, in all seriousness, I'd be very much against that.
And I think that is, that would be cause for concern.
But I don't think he'll go after that, genuinely.
I genuinely don't think it.
I genuinely don't think it.
Well, they wrote an amendment against it.
After FDR, right?
So there was no rule before that?
I don't think so.
There wasn't.
There was no terminal.
It was like an unspoken thing.
Like, you just generally did it.
Yeah, because George Washington was George W.
So he did two.
So everybody's like, you're right.
That's why I call him George W.
So he did two, therefore other people can do too.
Yeah.
And he didn't, but I think he intentionally didn't run a third time.
How much fun was having slaves that he was like, I'm tired of being president?
I'm not seeing the correlation.
I mean, I don't, I'm sure it was fun.
I'm sure it wasn't boring.
He left the presidency to go own his slaves.
He could do both.
No, he couldn't.
If you're a president, you just kind of have slaves everywhere.
No, you couldn't.
He couldn't do it the way he wanted.
He couldn't do it the way he wanted.
No, no, no, no.
George Washington.
He has to be in there signing documents all fucking day and he's looking at the field.
He's like, nah.
You think once Abe lost his slaves, he was like, somebody put a bullet in my head.
Apparently, that's why George Washington left.
I talked to the guy.
He's like, yeah, he's like a huge land speculator, had so much money.
He's like the wealthiest guy when he left presidency to this day.
He's like the richest president.
Okay, so when I said it, oh, there's no correlation.
It doesn't make any sense.
And then when Mark said land speculation and all these things.
You see how he made it make sense?
You just said that.
You guys hate real Americans.
You guys hate real hard-working Americans.
That's what it is.
You're liberal elitists.
You're some champagne liberals.
And when a real hard-working blue-collar American like me comes home.
You can't even put a tushy on your toilet.
Wealthy Land Speculators00:05:51
What's that?
Bidet.
Yeah, because that's a gay thing to do.
Yeah, I'm not going to have some bidet in my ass.
That's a blue-collar.
That's the most blue-collar dude.
That's real man.
What's going on with you?
I'm just saying you can't install anything in your life.
You guys acknowledge that was a horrible waiter car example.
It's a poor example.
I stand by my point.
Poor example.
I could have gone with a better thing.
You couldn't have done it.
That was a poor example.
Build a shelf.
Change the oil in your car.
Change the oil.
Change the top.
There's a lot of things.
I just grabbed the first one.
You can't even put foam on a macchiato.
You call yourself blue-collar.
You can't assemble a sharcoonery.
Yo, I got so fucking rich.
It's unbelievable.
It's crazy.
This guy's so rich, dude.
What a rich fucking guy you are.
A lot of Indians came out for Trump.
Do you think you had anything to do with it?
Yeah, dude.
Son, I'm a hero over there.
You're a gloving endorsement.
I'm a hero over there.
Yeah, what did Modi say?
I'm going to be...
That was the most non-racist Indian accent I've ever heard.
It was Japanese.
That was the funny.
Nobody caught on to that.
Nobody caught on to that.
He did a Japanese.
He goes, And we just sat there and pretended that he wasn't doing a Japanese accent promoter.
Oh, my God.
He might not know that Modi's not Japanese.
Yeah, he's Asian.
Facts.
Okay, so we hope that Elon is involved.
Yes.
Yeah, sure.
It is interesting that.
Worries me a little bit.
Well, okay, I want to hear that perspective.
Just because of how quick he is with his cuts, like in a private sector, cool.
But like with the government?
So what he said was, I thought, quite interesting.
He was like, we have to take care of these people.
So, I think what we should do is pay them two years of salary the day that we fire them.
We don't want people to leave and then be homeless.
We don't want people to leave and hurt.
These are people's family.
So, he's like, let's pay them the two years of salary up front and then they'll have two years to figure out the next thing they're going to do with their life.
And these are people who obviously can hold a job.
These are people who obviously are proficient at something.
So, they'll go help America in other ways and hold positions in other ways.
But at least we won't be kicking them out the door and then they're on their ass.
Two years.
But then, also, the way he's two years is a little fucking crazy.
Two years?
You get all fucking midterm to figure out what you want to do?
That's nuts, dude.
You will leave my office right now.
A year.
A year is more than enough.
So, whatever they end up coming to, at least what I was saying is when he said that, I was like, okay, at least there's some compassion here because I was concerned about that too.
You have a friend who has a job that he's working for the government.
And a lot of people, you remember this.
Like, when you get a job working for the government, there's this feeling like, okay, as long as I stick in this job for 25, 30 years, I'll be safe.
I'll have my, what is it called, pension?
And, like, I'll be able to like retire and take care of my family.
You rich fucks, don't even.
When you rich fucks, we've never had a one of them jobs.
I have a job where you get two years paid, like a paid severance.
So, it's two years is a lot, but have some compassion.
Two years insane.
Like, years honestly, too much, but you can have it.
Akash is so.
So, I know this motherfucker was almost poor, and he's like, Yo, no, he was poor.
He was so lonely.
You asked about it back to the show.
You know, it's so crazy.
This group influenced the presidential election in 2020.
Yo, listen, ain't that fucking crazy.
Don't even say influence.
We decided we were the turning point.
Just know, just know, and we'll be left out of everything, and that's fine.
We don't give a fuck about the credit.
We know what we do.
I don't need this credit.
It's fine.
We'll be left out of everything.
It's totally fine.
It doesn't matter.
That is the nature of things that we started.
Everybody else does it.
But he was not up until this pod.
That's true.
After the pod, he surges, what, three or four percent?
Yeah, it was a rap dude.
Never went back down after that.
Okay.
Okay.
Shout out to my Samoans.
Shout out to my Maudis.
Was that a Hakka?
That was a Hakka.
That's fine.
I just did a Haka.
I just did a Haka.
I learned that one.
The straightest Hakka ever.
It was a really good Haka.
You ever seen a gay Haka before?
I have.
Come on, dude.
Come on.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
It's our culture.
And you go to Hawaii.
All right.
Listen.
What a fucking election special.
It is crazy that we had any influence at all.
He is really nuts, dude.
I text you.
That's the most insane shit ever.
My wife looked at me at about 10 p.m. and she goes, You did this.
Hey, we asked her to come on.
Brown bitch ain't want to come on.
Why didn't she?
Why didn't she?
I don't know.
Is she going to be at the inauguration?
Does she have to?
As VP, she's got to be there.
I don't even think she's conceded yet.
Dick.
Whoa.
Whoa.
She's doing it at 6 p.m. today.
We're recording this Wednesday.
4 p.m. today.
They moved it up.
Yeah.
Unless they move it back, but she's probably going to show up at 6.
Minority ass.
Yep, he knows how to say that.
I'm father Brown.
I never went calling.
Bro, with accent.
You know, she's black.
It's a brown bitch.
It's a brown bitch.
Do you guys think that plays a little part in the success of white people around the world just being on time?
I don't.
Do you think a little bit?
Fashionably, wait, that's y'all.
That's not like the thing now?
No, no, no, no.
We're on time people.
That's because you're not fashionable ever.
The whites are on time.
The whites are on time.
You're never on time.
Me?
You were the last one.
Free Speech and KKK Marches00:08:55
I'm not.
I'm not white.
What are you?
Orthodox.
I am orthodox.
You know.
Wait, but you guys aren't concerned at all with the way.
Oh, huh, I'm not concerned about somebody.
Hey, are you concerned about Project 2025 and what's going to happen to democracy in America?
Are you concerned about it?
Oh, there's a sale and killer.
I don't care.
Wait, how you doing?
I got a gay hot gonna give us some out of this.
Gotta give us some out of this one.
Alice, one I may sail away from not giving a fuck about what happened in his election, bro.
I may put some shit on 40% off for Alice.
Send me the pre-patch.
Okay, no, bottom.
You brought it up.
I'm just asking.
Because you see how Twitter is right now.
I know it's coming.
Well, how's Twitter right now?
Like all the fucking anti-Semitized shit that you see.
Anti-Semitize.
Miles don't start.
Miles don't start.
I'm sending you a direction.
You do whatever you want to do over there.
Miles so happy.
Miles texting mad lady's like, damn, we losing, right?
He just goes, wrong text.
No, no, you what do we say?
What?
There's a lot of anti-Semitism.
There's a lot of anti-Semitism on racism or Elon, the way he slashes jobs.
Like, he doesn't do it strategically.
He's just like...
What about anti-Semitism?
Yeah, what does that have to do with he broke Twitter in a way that Twitter's kind of wild now?
Like it's a little, it's not Twitter is wild, and that is the cost of free speech.
And I think what's happening right now is basically people are so it, so like you get a new car, right?
You get a Ferrari, you want to drive as fast as it can go.
That's what people are doing with free speech.
Ideally, what happens is in the next year, two years, people start going, oh, you don't need to drive the car as fast every single time.
And I think this would happen when like Sirius XM came around, remember, like, and you could curse on Sirius XM and everybody was cursing.
And then people start to realize, like, oh, it doesn't make it better that you can curse.
You know, eventually you actually have to say things that are like thoughtful and interesting.
So right now it's working that you could just be, you know, super racist or super anti-Semitic or super hateful.
And I think eventually it just kind of calms down.
That's my suspicion.
Part of the reason is because he slashed jobs by so much.
And so some of the people that were like would tame down that noise are no longer there.
I don't believe that.
I believe that he's committed to free speech.
And unfortunately, free speech protects hate speech.
I think it's 70% drop in.
No, I don't believe he's as altruistic as a lot of the right beliefs.
I do believe there's some.
He definitely wanted Trump to get elected.
He had his reasons.
I wonder if it's because JD Vance seems to be in big tech's pocket.
Like Peter Thiel funded his whole presidential thing.
I wonder if they're like, we can control that guy.
That's one step away from Trump.
Let's get Trump elected.
You trust him, JD Vance?
I do not.
Let me tell you something.
To do what he did in his life.
Oh, he's nice, but I don't.
Like, the guy, his mom was a drug addict, right?
Yeah.
Poor, ends up going to Yale, navigating Yale with really nothing to offer.
Remember, a lot of people that go to these like elite private schools, like they're legacy individuals.
And the people at these schools, a lot of them are entering banking and or some sort of like VC hedge fund world where having wealthy family members is very valuable because you can use them as assets for investment, whatever these companies are.
Navigating that world with really nothing to offer those people takes super high emotional intelligence.
This guy's smart.
Yeah.
No question.
I don't know how much I trust him.
That's exactly how I feel.
He's nice.
In that debate, he was nice.
He's nice.
He's a shark, dog.
But I need to sit in a room with him and I need to be like.
And they asked him, they asked us to have him on.
And my feeling was if we had him on, but we didn't have anybody from the Democrats side on, it would seem too unfair.
Like, I thought we were more or less balanced.
We had Cuban on and then we had Trump on.
We tried to get someone else, try to get Buddha Judge on.
He's supposed to come on.
Then he has to do debate prep.
Maybe that's an excuse or maybe not.
But I just felt like it would be too one-sided.
But I do, in order to know if I can trust him, I got to sit in a room with him.
That is to do what he did in his life.
I don't question his ability.
It's very difficult.
Don't question his ability.
I question a little bit his motives and how he's in four years.
He's next up.
And think about, like, talk crazy shit about Trump.
Yeah, that's the wildest shit.
Well, to me, this is also evidence.
Like, people go, oh, Trump's about to go after all the people that hated on him.
It's like, I don't think that's really how he operates.
Like, if those people take a step in his direction, he's fine.
Vince McMahon.
So if they continue to hate on him, then they might be fucked.
But if they try to be diplomatic and they try to work with him and do things, clearly he will forgive.
He forgot.
The VP is a guy who hated him more than anything, said vile things about him.
Now he made him VP next in line to rule the country.
Because that could that also show how easily manipulative, I mean, how easy he can be manipulated.
I think that's one way of looking at the argument.
And it's just the same coin, right?
One side is, oh, he's easily tricked or manipulated.
The other side is he looks at it as business or he looks at it as the game.
He looks at it as politics.
And once you're willing to get on board, if you're willing to help the agenda and you can help the agenda, doesn't matter what you said.
Let's go make this work.
Probably a little bit of both.
So it could be, yeah.
Our thing is culturally more annoying now with Trump.
Oh, break that down.
That's an interesting one.
Like from 2016 to 2020, it just seemed like every day there was like a culture war happening.
He would tweet some shit and then people would dissect it and there'd be back and forth.
And if you said something like specifically on stage and you'd be like, I think this, people would be like, wait, are you a Trump guy?
Are you not?
Is that a redo?
I agree with you.
It's over.
It's not a redo.
It's an over.
It's a unanimous victory.
People are exhausted.
I actually think him losing in 2020 is the best thing that could have happened because America clearly wasn't ready to reject the path it was going on.
And the 2024 victory is America unanimously going, okay, we don't like what the Democrats are offering.
We actually don't even trust the way that they're positioning Trump to be.
Like, yeah, there might be some issues, but it's not as bad as the Democrats are making it seem.
I mean, like seeing Obama on there, like on the on the trail.
And this was like heartbreaking a little bit, like him spouting hoaxes.
Like he's on the campaign trail.
Like he's saying things that have been debunked and proven false.
Like what?
They're good people on both sides thing.
Like there's all these things that, and it's just like even Obama, like Obama, like this is maybe I hold him to a higher regard than I should.
They're all politicians at the end of the day about that.
Yeah.
I did hear the full part of what Trump said.
But if you're at a rally and there's KKK and white nationalists right next to you, are there good people on both sides?
If you're rolling with these people.
So the context of this conversation is the Charlottesville thing.
And like there were people that don't want to tear down all the statues and the people that do want to tear down the statues.
And I think his argument that like there's good reasons to want to tear it down and there's good reasons to maybe not want to tear them down.
Like we start looking into the morality of all these people that we have statues of, good or bad, all of a sudden they're going to start coming down.
Like George Washington had slaves.
I get it.
Yank it.
Like what I'm saying.
If you're marching for something, even though maybe the cause is moral, just whatever the case is, but right next to you is KKK.
It's white nationals.
Are you really on the right side?
I understand your positioning 100%.
The unfortunate thing is sometimes your views align with people whose views are abhorrent.
So for example, KKK people might want smaller government.
You might want smaller government.
You guys might agree on that.
That doesn't mean you support KKK shit.
Yeah, I'm just saying if there's a march for smaller government and KKK shows up and be like, nah, I'm going to sit that one out.
Yeah, he could have said nothing.
But it's like, if you're in a free speech debate, you're like, look, I see both sides.
But that doesn't mean I'm like endorsing the people that are pro-Hitler.
Bezos Government Contracts00:11:52
Well, I do think Trump will.
He doesn't want to lose ever.
So he will co-sign some shit that he shouldn't co-sign if he knows those guys are going to vote for him.
And he doesn't want it.
And if he doesn't, then he's going to lose their vote.
He'll figure and then he'll figure out whoever's outraged on the back end.
But let me just not lose their vote.
And I don't love that.
I don't like that.
I don't.
I would say also to your initial point, I think being comedians, we were in the making the jokes, whatever.
The height of like the cancel culture shit was like 2015, 2016.
I think Trump getting elected the first time was the beginning of the downward, we're done with this.
And I think 2016, when he won, everybody's like, but he lost the popular.
So he still felt emboldened that the majority of the country is with me.
Now this is such a decisive victory.
Trump won the popular.
I do think people in the middle have to start looking like, oh, these leftists don't got it.
They act like they got it.
They don't got it.
And they're going to believe what they're going to believe because they're retards, as are people on the far right.
Just a rejection.
Yeah, it's just a rejection of like actors as influencers.
Oh, yeah.
Actors and musicians don't move the needle.
No.
And a lot of that comes from the connection thing we were talking about earlier.
It's like, as famous as actors are, we don't really feel connected to them.
Like, I'm not as cool as fucking George Clooney is.
He's the coolest guy on the fucking planet.
You know, Ocean's 11, 12, 13.
I'm like, I just want to exist in those movies.
But I'm not connected to him like I am like a guy like Joe Rogan.
So Joe Rogan could influence me way more than a George Clooney.
And I think that that exists even at the highest level, like a Taylor Swift.
You know, it's, we have an idea of who Taylor is, but I don't know if she connects with us on a day-to-day basis like a podcaster does.
Or to be fair, like radio hosts did back in the day, like a Howard Stern probably had way more influence.
Yeah.
I mean, I think evidence of that is like the Tinos coming out.
Like Latinos came out in like big numbers for huge numbers for Trump.
Yeah.
And like, I think that was like the biggest disparity from 2020.
I think it was like 25 or 30 points.
Yeah.
More Latinos, even in like swing states like PA and shit.
Yeah.
So even on the heels of like Tony's joke and people are like, oh, this is going to swing the election.
It seems like it had no effect.
No effect.
And Latinos were still like, no, we like Trump.
And that's again in the face of the cancel culture thing.
It's like, that was one thing I did get right.
We talked about it on the Patreon.
I was like, I don't think this joke hurts Trump or Tony at all.
I don't think it fucking matters.
They're both going to be fine.
Because it's just a joke.
And again, to the cancel culture thing, we're not buying into that shit anymore.
I heard an interesting take about that from Noam, from the comedy seller.
And he basically said, like, the fact that they didn't vet the jokes is indicative of them not caring about comedy being like them not taking danger.
Yeah, dangerous.
In a positive way, meaning like they're like, we're not going to be the administration that like censors jokes.
Like, they're just jokes.
Why would we waste time looking over your jokes?
We don't need to do that.
It's true.
You're a comedian and you just do it.
Now, that might be a very gracious way of looking at it, but I thought it was a kind of interesting take.
Like, I imagine the Democrats are like, well, we need to see every single word and see every single joke.
And they're like, we're not going to police your fucking jokes.
That's not what our organization is doing.
That's not what our administration is going to do.
I thought it was an interesting take.
It's more one of those takes that I want to believe.
I don't know if it's actually real.
But yeah.
Yeah, Tony's vindicated, though.
Yeah.
Tony's free.
He was watching that shit nervously, bro.
Bro, Kamala.
Stay in the Spanish Harlem.
Puerto Ricans, they might still be upset, by the way.
Tony.
It's actually, he picked the perfect group because most Latinos don't like Puerto Rico.
So that's the thing.
That's the thing.
It's like all these white people coming out, like, yo, Puerto Rico is not garbage.
But all these Latinos were like, yo, sometimes you get it right.
Sometimes jokes aren't true.
That's why it's funny.
Yeah.
Did you guys talk about on the Patreon the Tony Hitchcliffe top?
Yeah, it just wasn't.
Yeah, we basically said the environment wasn't conducive to doing these jokes.
Also, the joke just didn't make sense.
And I think like for New Yorkers is what I'm saying.
Like New Yorkers, we think of Puerto Rico as this like tropical, beautiful island.
Oh, yeah.
It's not viewed as like a garbage island.
That's a great point.
So that's why the audience was like, huh, that's weird.
Because it's like our first trip to a tropical, beautiful place in our lives.
So the punchline didn't make sense.
And that's why I didn't land in the room.
Yeah.
There are maybe places that you could use that would have worked for the joke for sure.
But I think the takeaway now is just, yeah, he's a comedian.
He's a Rose comedian.
Like Jon Stewart, the hats off to Jon Stewart because he took that shit on the chin.
Like he went immediately, hey, he's a Rose comedian.
He's hilarious.
This is what they do.
Maybe the administration shouldn't have brought him up there to do it because that's what he does, but we're not going to get upset at the guy for doing the thing he does.
And for him, knowing the base that he's built and the trust that they have in him to come out there and say that first, I think that took a lot of the heat off us.
He's the best.
So what happens now?
What does the media do?
I don't think the media can sit back and go, all right, we don't have the influence that we had before, and we have to change all our programs and we have to make everything long form where you can really get to know somebody.
It just doesn't match the goal of legacy media, which is to sell pharmaceuticals or to sell butt lights or whatever the fuck they, the reason why there are all these shows.
So I think the only thing they can do is deny that they have a lack of influence and then make radioactive the opposition.
Yeah.
Same play.
The same play.
So it's just like you're racist, you're blah, blah, blah.
Like you're a sexist, you're a bad person.
All the like, I would not be surprised if there are articles about us and the other podcasts that were successful in this time that are not supportive and congratulatory.
I wouldn't see the article as wow, they built up a community and they were able to have a conversation that was really unique.
They'll leave out that we asked Kamala multiple times to come on.
Of course, of course.
And they'll probably try to make us as toxic as possible by bringing up everything that we may be tangentially accused of throughout our careers and not mentioning anything successful that we've done throughout our careers.
Because that's the only thing that they can do to maintain their status quo.
Yeah.
It's a badge of honor, kind of.
It's a badge of honor, but I think it's important to talk about these things.
Like one thing I'll give Trump credit for is his like calling out the media created protection for him.
Yeah.
Because the media online, new media, old media can create narratives that are just not true.
Yeah.
And you have to decide.
You're like, should I address this?
Should I just ignore it?
Like, and a lot of times you don't want to address this because I don't want to put more heat on it.
But there's a version where like if you address it, then all of a sudden your fans start to go, oh, this is bullshit.
This is made up.
This is not true.
Yeah.
And then they stop believing what was going on.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's just one of those things where like I wonder like I our take is like if you're not really like a real resource that's not getting a lot of views.
It doesn't really matter like we just kind of ignore it.
But maybe there's a version where we should be addressing more things.
Maybe.
I figured people are eventually going to see it and then they stop trusting the outlets that just lie for views.
But maybe that doesn't, maybe that's not the case.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like I saw a turn with Rogan.
Like once like all the COVID stuff was happening, he was kind of talking out against it and then they're using his images with like color correction to make him look worse on CNN.
Yeah.
And then the way that they've slandered him after he like became vocal about that issue, I think more and more people were like, wait, this guy, lifelong liberal, like endorsed Bernie more or less, like was like supportive of Bernie.
And now you're calling him like all these names and slurs.
It's like, all right.
And I think that is a moment where a lot of people go like, oh, they're just calling everyone they don't like a Nazi.
Yeah.
And I think we should pay attention to like who these creators are, who the writers are, and see if there's a pattern.
Okay.
You know, like, see if there's a pattern of these types of pieces being written.
See if that's essentially like what they do.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
Like in the same way that they'll try to create patterns for us and they'll try to create narratives about us.
I imagine that if we look back at the pieces that they make, there will be some patterns that they might not like out there.
And it might undermine their journalistic integrity.
Yep.
So it's something that we should look at.
Like as we go into this new media landscape, it's up to us to also have integrity, which I think we did, especially during the election.
Like we could have, we could have been so biased in one direction.
We had everybody on the right was willing to come on the show.
And we're like, if we do that, it will just be too biased.
And we're not going to give our audience a true understanding of what this political landscape is so that they can make a decision that they believe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It is interesting to see Bezos not endorse Kamla through Washington Post.
And then also Zuckerberg kind of at the same time being like, oh yeah, the Biden administration was trying to get us to like squash all these stories.
Yeah, that was well.
Like all these large tech guys all simultaneously.
That is also what makes me a little more wary of JD Vance though.
And I don't, I don't look at that as much as an admonishment of the Biden administration as I do.
It was a little worrying that all these massive like technocrats or whatever are suddenly all kind of shifting this way.
And it could just be they're unhappy, but I also am like, oh, your vice president is funded by a technocrat.
This seemed a little convenient, the timing.
Yeah, but also like Pence not was funded, but like was largely influenced by like the evangelical right.
And I don't feel like that played like a huge effect on Trump outside of the room.
I don't fear their influence.
That was huge.
Yeah.
But like, I mean, it didn't stop necessarily like Pence, you know, like Pence wasn't just like lapdogging on Trump.
You know what I mean?
Like there's still like friction between them.
And so in the same way, I wonder how much JD can actually even influence Trump.
This is not my conspiracy, but if we're getting real conspiracy, conspiratorial.
Let's go.
These guys are powerful enough to be like, yo, let's just get Trump out of there and let's get our guy.
He's VP now.
We couldn't have got him elected.
We can make him president now.
That's interesting.
I don't know if I should give credit to whoever, but like, yeah, that's not, but it didn't seem completely impossible when he said it.
Think that all of these people are hedging.
And I think Bezos is hedging.
Bezos didn't endorse Trump.
He just said, I'm not going to endorse any of them.
And by not endorsing through the Washington Post is what we're talking about.
He left it open for interpretation.
And now he can go to Trump and be like, hey, listen, there's certain government contracts.
I would like to continue.
I mean, Jeff Bezos got like really favorable government contracts for his space program.
Elon is best buddies with Trump.
I can't fathom that Trump is going to side with Bezos over Elon for any type of like government funded space exploration.
But maybe, and I imagine when you get to that level of business, you need government influence.
And maybe he's doing this just to protect his interests.
That's a weird thing that newspapers actually endorse any kind of insane, right?
Makes no sense.
Yeah.
It's supposed to be an unbiased journalistic paper.
Yeah.
Diddy Probation and 50 Cent00:02:08
That's weird in itself.
So I actually like the fact that they didn't.
None of them should.
Let us read your articles.
And by reading your articles, we come to a decision.
Yeah.
You don't have to tell us what to do.
None of us told you.
I thought that that was really cool.
Yeah.
Like we made a point to not say who we were voting for.
I don't want to tell you guys what to do.
You guys are smart.
You can make your own fucking decisions.
Yeah.
Read fucking articles and then wait for J-Lo to endorse them and then do what she did.
That's it.
It's that simple.
That's what I did.
Wait for J-Lo to go up there and fake cry.
Yo, I loved how like the second she was fake crying up there, the Diddy marriage came out.
Like, because she was there the night where Diddy shot that dude and then Blame Sean.
Yeah, yeah.
And she wrote with Diddy, which is like, you are a ride or die.
Yeah.
Yo, shout out J-Lo for that one.
I mean, it's fucked up, but shout out J-Lo for that one.
But she lied on the stand for Diddy.
Right.
Jayla has done that out of sheer terror.
Did she take the stand?
I thought she didn't want to take the stand because she didn't want to lie.
Oh, so maybe she didn't take the stand.
Maybe she put the fifth or something like that.
But like, she knew what the fuck was going on.
Oh, yeah, she knew.
And this is the beauty of like, and also the annoyance of like when these celebs get involved in these things, you're just like, shut the fuck up.
Yeah.
Shut up.
I don't need you to hear about how toxic Trump is.
It's like you were married.
Not like you were just dating.
You are married to Diddy.
How long were they married for?
Like a while?
Or is it like a year thing and then it broke up?
I think the Puerto Rican standard is very long.
It's like dog years.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
Yeah.
I would say it was about 21 years.
Yeah.
That's a good.
That's a long time.
Oh, that is funny.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yo, shout out to J-Lo.
Have you read Kim Porter's book yet?
No.
No.
Bro, you've got to read his book.
It's not her book.
It's her book, bro.
It's her words.
It's not her words.
Come on.
It's not her book.
Diddy was banging everyone.
And their husbands.
I believe that.
We didn't talk about Doug.
Oh, shit.
This is crazy.
Yeah.
What an insane sentence.
I mean, kind of wild.
And not shocked that they did it before the election.
They knew they were going to lose this fucking trial.
Young Malibu Contract Deal00:10:00
And I think they did it before the election because they knew that it would be completely squashed by the election.
This is a five-year-long trial.
I think the most expensive trial in Georgia history.
And they get nothing.
They get time served.
I know it's crazy.
15th probation.
That's nothing.
Which I feel like eventually they're going to take down on good behavior.
Does that happen?
Yeah.
So you can renegotiate your probation based on good behavior.
So like you're on good behavior for a few years.
What does probation mean?
What are you not allowed to do?
Can't smoke, can't drink.
I think he has to move out of Atlanta.
Oh, really?
Probation officer that you can't.
And he's kind of nice.
You can't associate with anybody who has a gang affiliation.
He can get so healthy.
How are they going to monitor all of this?
Well, he's a probation officer.
Maybe going through all of that.
If you tweet anything, if you post anything, it's like he really has to live like a fucking Mormon right now until the next 15 years.
And there are certain things that you could get away with.
What I would say is the probation, the, and I obviously don't know what the fuck jail is like.
I'm sure it's fucking horrible.
But the idea of like the looming violation of probation over you, like every second.
Oh, if I do this, is it going to.
Yeah, but trust me, you way better than being in jail.
1,000 years ago.
He was facing life.
Yeah.
He was facing life.
He won.
This was a win.
Major win.
This is why you need Republicans, man.
Yeah, real tough.
This is why you need Republicans, bro.
They got Kodak out.
Yeah, Republicans would have never wasted money.
They'd be like, free him, bro.
Free Doug, bro.
We need more music.
Didn't Trump do something with Lil Wayne, too?
Didn't he get him?
Wayne, I think, endorsed Trump.
Is that what it was?
I just have a real quick question about this is Lil Wayne.
I wonder if this is just media.
I wonder if this is an angle trying to convince us.
Like, I look at everything that I consume right now.
I was like, is there a narrative here?
The people trying to justify a decision?
And it very well could be.
People are taking the worst parts of his concerts and putting them on the internet to justify him not being the Super Bowl halftime performer.
But what is being shown on Twitter, I don't think is indicative of a Super Bowl halftime performance.
And I say this as someone who supported Wayne his entire life.
I fucking love Wayne, one of the greatest rappers of all time.
Have any of you seen Wayne live?
I've seen him live and it was amazing.
Okay, so then maybe this is people hating on the internet and trying.
Yeah, maybe this is fake news.
It was a while.
It was when him and Drake were doing that co-tour situation and he would actually body Drake almost every night.
Like I saw two shows and it was he steals the show.
Okay, so then and what you're seeing now on the internet, you're like, this doesn't match up at all with it.
The audio wasn't good.
Like it was it was a little off.
So this is some Haitian shit.
I think so.
And who's behind that?
I don't know.
It's just maybe not the greatest production.
Also, the Kendrick team online is pretty.
Who's behind it, bro?
I mean, who's behind it?
If it is, then the Democrat shill, Jay-Z, the Kamala supporter?
Jay-Z's been quiet.
He ain't here.
He got his wife out there doing a fucking shit.
He was personally condorsing nobody.
He's a criminal.
You don't put criminals on stage unless they're the president.
Exactly.
He should have backed the criminal.
Nah, that is, yo, fucking 50 Cent is a man, bro.
They asked him nonstop to do...
They hit me up.
The Trump team hit me up and asked if I could reach out to 50 to get him to come to the MSG shows.
And I was like, I don't know, man.
It's a 50-50, you know, marches.
His own drum.
He does whatever he wants.
And he always says he doesn't do religion or politics.
And after Trump won, he posted a picture with him and Trump.
And he goes, I'm always walking out the ring with the winner or something to that.
You know what I mean?
Like, this guy is.
He's great.
Oh, man.
There's a great interview with him where he was talking about Nelly's It's Hot in Here.
Did you see this?
He was on Ibro and he was talking with Ebro about Nellie's It's Hot in Here.
He's remembering it's hot in here.
I ain't going all my clothes.
And he goes, when I saw that song come, I was like, oh, this shit is a hit.
And then he goes, so they make Lloyd Banks fire.
Yeah.
Which is like, and he blatantly says, I couldn't believe he was blatantly said.
He goes, so we made Lloyd Banks fire, which is just another version of it's hot in here.
Yeah.
And he blatantly says, he goes, there's been plenty of times throughout my career where like I saw a song that was hot and we did our version of that song was hot and then blew up.
Wow.
I couldn't believe an artist was sharing that.
Yeah.
And it just shows like his the way he thinks about rap.
Like, he's thinking of it as he's obviously a creative guy, but like, there's a business behind this.
McDonald's comes out with the McRib.
What's Wendy's up to?
It's not far how he came up because on the mixtape scene, all he was doing was just taking people's song and then running.
And then flipping them.
Yeah.
I mean, smart, but just a lot.
I don't think a lot of artists would admit that there was another song that was really hot and they wanted to do a version of the computer.
So much insecurity.
I started this.
I made the whole flow.
I created everything.
Just to be like, look, the show is fire.
And so we did our version.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nah, 50's the man, bro.
Right?
He's really the man.
We need 50 on a pot.
Bro, he scared me when he was going at the guy with the chain.
That shit terrified me.
So a guy, a jeweler at Trax NYC.
Oh, Trax.
Oh, my bro.
I didn't know this was a thing you can't do.
I grew up in suburbs.
I'm not into a violation.
I'm a version of blood.
Trax, a wild boy, too.
Yeah.
Tell this whole story.
Basically, 50 Cent gets a brand new shit.
Trax is a legendary, is a legendary New York City jewelry.
Yeah.
Legendary.
And he has used social media brilliantly to build his brain.
Like, he does these things that you can't not look at.
It's amazing.
He'll just like take gold bars and he'll like hand them out to random people in the street.
He'll hide them all over this.
He'll hide them and say, go find it.
Like, yeah, it's crazy.
He's really creative with his usage of social media as advertising for his business.
Okay, but this thing terrified me, bro.
So basically, 50 Cent comes out with a brand new chain and he's like, yo, this is my new chain.
He got it made by a specific jeweler that 50 always works with.
And then Trax sees the chain and goes, Hey, guys, 50 has a sickest new chain.
So I've made basically a replica that I'm selling and you can buy them now.
That's not exactly how it was.
Does that know what happened?
No, 50 had an iconic chain.
And then Trax was like, Yo, remember this 50 chain?
For we're selling these pieces.
It was a Jesus piece.
Yeah, yeah.
But I don't think 50 was like, yo, here are my new chains, and he's selling replacements.
No, no, no.
50 just came out with a chain.
It was like he's had it for, that's like an old chain.
No, it was a cross.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, but it's a cross.
It's the piece.
Yeah, it's a Jesus piece.
But it's an old thing.
That's like his iconic thing.
No, it was a thing that he popularized, but I don't know if he did a brand deal with a jeweler specifically.
It just he got one made not by Trax, but just by a different jewelry.
I just want to set the record straight for what happened.
And then Trax saw it and was like, oh, this chain is fire.
This piece.
Yeah.
There's a cross.
And now I'm going to make my own version of it.
And he's like, yo, here are the 50 Cent crosses.
Like, yeah.
Yeah.
And he used 50 Cent in the video.
Yeah.
And 50 Cent just goes, This was foolish.
You'll hear from my lawyers or something like that.
But then Trax takes a fucking duffel bag of gold and platinum bars and goes to Queens.
Goes to 50's neighborhood and starts handing them out.
And 50 got so much love in the neighborhood still.
Did some random street dudes just walk up to him while he's a neighbor and go, Yo, you got to get out of here.
Wow.
50's not even in the neighborhood anymore.
That's right.
But the fact that they knew something was like, yo, you gotta get the fuck out of here.
Is Trax the bravest guy in the world?
Yeah, you know that he went and fought the watch dude that we hung out with in Ireland.
What?
Nico?
Oh, watch Nico, yeah.
Like, he went out there and they fought.
Why?
Because they were beefing over something and he pulled up and they bought.
I'm telling you, this guy, Trax, is like an underrated self-marketer.
Like in New York City, we know him, but outside of New York, put it this way: you know how, like, now with the popularity of like watches, all the guys on 46th Street started to really blow up the watch trading.
Yeah, it became a huge trend, and they deserve all their success, and it's amazing.
And, but Trax before that was like a viral jewelry guy in an area that we knew in the city, but I guess it wasn't, I don't know, how do you describe it out?
I'm just saying to make noise being on in the diamond district is crazy because it's like opening a shoe stop, a shoe store, and there's a thousand other shoes.
So you have to be cutthroat.
You have to market yourself better than everybody.
You have to just do something different to stand out.
He's been able to stand out.
Greg Yuna is another one with the colours of the family.
Greg makes beautiful babies.
Great marketing.
Moses the jeweler has been phenomenal.
He's been phenomenal.
And there's one more kid that I was talking to.
Oh, fuck.
He does some stuff with Moses.
Benny.
What's his name?
Vukum.
They've been phenomenal.
All I'm saying is 50 Cent comments on my post.
This was foolish.
You've taken a post out.
I'm on probation.
I'm on Young.
I'm going to Malibu.
15 years.
You'll never hear me.
The best track.
You'll see that.
He's like, let's go.
So that's where the contract is.
Jackson has a Vince McMahon.
He's like, this is going to be fun.
Let's dance.
Terrifying.
He had several days to do it because 50 also said, I'm going to need that by Monday, which is the scariest thing.
I'm going to need that by Monday.
What does that even mean?
I'm going to need that.
The famous battle that he got into was with the producer Randall Emmett.
And it was the greatest reality show that's ever.
Tell this story.
This is fire, bro.
Randall Emmett's a producer that was making all these indie movies with 50 Cent.
And I think he just owed him a few hundred grand that he had.
Bunny Hopping Fun00:02:13
And his wife was one of the chicks on Vanderpunk Rules.
Okay.
So they got into it over something.
And they got into it.
There was just nothing.
I think it was laid at all.
But it was non-stop.
And it was just like this guy.
He had like just dirt about him.
Dirt posting the least flattering photos you've ever seen.
He's coked up and shit.
Yeah.
But then he would actually then post the calls of this guy.
Hey, 50, please stop.
Please stop doing that.
It was crazy.
It was pure torture.
And then he eventually got paid.
Yeah, that's terrifying.
50 Cent Candace gets a hold of you.
Any one of them.
You're done.
50 or Candace, you don't want no problem, bro.
I know Candace tweeted a little video of us saying we don't want no problems.
Just the fact that she tweeted a video of us, I was like, that was fucking fucking.
You got the notification.
No.
No.
Not Candace.
Nah, Candice, you got to play around with.
Don't play around with Candace.
You don't play around with 50 Cent.
Simple as that.
That shit scared me, bro.
Yeah.
Hope you guys are having a great day.
I hope you guys like the results of the election.
What about Dr. Umar?
What's he doing?
Yo, what's up with that?
I said we would donate the money.
So Dr. Umar, you got to pay him to go on white podcast.
Yeah.
Respect.
I love that.
And black podcast.
Shit.
He got to get paid.
He got to get paid.
Whatever.
And so I said I would do it.
I was like, yeah, we'll give you the, we'll donate the money to the school.
At first?
And then.
We're waiting for the deal.
We never got the deal.
And then he said he only wants to go on if it's just you.
Oh, that was right.
That's right.
Did he follow?
Did we ever follow up about it's not like a gotcha thing?
We just want to think we did.
The perception of it is, I think he believes that we're going to debate.
I don't think that he realizes we're going to endorse him.
There's going to be a lot of agreeance.
This is like the pyramids.
Like, just tell me whatever you think about the world.
Colon, colonizer, enslaver, and occupier.
I just want more of those.
I just want to give you all your acronyms.
I am so ready to have some fun.
But the boy's got to be here.
The Pyramids of Agreeance00:01:30
It's no fun.
But he thinks that we're going to gang up on him.
I assume that's what the concern is.
Yeah.
So Dr. Umar, that is not what's going to happen.
We just want to have some fun.
My brother.
Come in peace.
My brother and Melanin.
My brother in Christ and Melanin.
I got to give his number to Dove.
I think Dove could pull it off.
You think?
What does he think about the Dreidels?
Yeah, what does he think about the Dreidels?
I have a feeling he don't like them.
He probably loves them.
I think he's a huge fan.
Let's go with that.
Do my best.
But yeah, give me something just you know, fast talk them, buzzwords.
I think they're good.
Yeah, buzzwords.
Listen, Dr. Umar, we love you.
We want you on, but you got to come hang with the boys.
Okay.
We support whatever your agenda is, whatever your geopolitical agenda is, whatever your emotional agenda, whatever your agenda is, just know that we are huge fans.
We support it and we love it over here.
Okay, no button, no bunny hopping.
No bunny hopping.
Oh, we don't believe in bunny hopping over here.
Shout out to the buttercreams.
Shout out to the vanilla creams.
Shout out to the pecan, the brownies, the caramels.
Like you describe women's skin in the most amazing, poetic way.
We want those descriptions over here.
Okay.
Shout out to Autumn.
Yeah.
We want you on a pod, but we got to end this pod right now.
