Black Culture Take Center Stage At Met Gala, Marc Lamont Hill EXPLODES on Piers Morgan, and Paul Pierce Says Marriage is for Brokies
America's power dynamics are laid bare in this unflinching examination of who gets regulated and who gets to break the rules. From the glittering Met Gala runway to polluted neighborhoods in Memphis, we connect seemingly disparate cultural moments to reveal a consistent pattern of privilege and control.
The episode opens with a sharp critique of the Met Gala's first Black-themed event centered around dandyism. While celebrities like Teanna Taylor, Coleman Domingo and Janelle Monáe delivered stunning interpretations, we question why Black women were largely confined to traditionally masculine silhouettes rather than celebrating the full spectrum of Black feminine aesthetics. This exploration of cultural representation sets the stage for more serious discussions about power imbalances.
Meanwhile, celebrities like Future and Trippie Redd face ruthless critique for their appearances and behavior, revealing our complicated relationship with Black male image and identity.
The conversation takes a powerful turn when examining a viral incident where a white woman called a Black child a racial slur at a park. "Why don't white men say these words to our faces?" becomes a pointed challenge that exposes how racism often operates through proxies while avoiding direct confrontation and consequences.
Perhaps most damning is our analysis of Trump's selective regulation policies. After meeting with Nick Saban, Trump quickly moved to regulate college athletes' NIL deals, potentially limiting Black students' earning potential. Yet simultaneously, Elon Musk's company operates unpermitted methane turbines in a predominantly Black Memphis neighborhood with seemingly no consequences. This stark contrast crystallizes America's inconsistent approach to government oversight depending on who benefits and who suffers.
Whether examining academic cheating through AI, celebrity culture, or marriage economics, the episode repeatedly returns to one troubling question: why do we only seem interested in controlling Black success while letting corporations and the wealthy operate under different rules? Join us for an eye-opening conversation that will challenge your understanding of how power operates in America today.
That being a motivation is inherently the problem, Like you shouldn't make being a well-read, well-informed individual synonymous with, oh, this is how you can get money too, Because it's not always going to play like that.

Speaker 1:I wasn't doing it for the theme of the met gala I was just because the met gala was going on, I was like, let me just wear the shirt that I think is the fruitiest I guess, so I felt like I was part of. I don't know what that logic is I just felt like I was part of the group.

Hi guys, alright, so we back. We got a lot to get into. The Met Gala has happened. She was totally consumed with it, like one track mind.
Speaker 2:I was watching the Met Gala red carpet live on Vogue's youtube page, so, um, let's get into it. I there were a lot of looks that just completely missed the mark. And then there were, there were a lot that like, were very on theme, and there were a lot of people who ate it up. So we can start with our favorites and then we'll get into talking talking shit a little bit. So.
Speaker 1:So I'm going to be bad because I didn't get a lot of people's names, so I'm all for that. I thought I got the ones that I wanted to all talk about. The best one, I thought it was the lady she had the red burgundy hat and fit on. That was Tiana Taylor, no not Tiana Taylor, it was another lady who had all burgundy.
Speaker 2:I think it was Joy I know her name started with a J yeah.
Speaker 2:She ate that up, but I think Tiana Taylor, it's between Tiana Taylor and Janelle Monae and I forget her name. So, laura Harrier, I loved her. I loved Coco Jones oh my God, coco Jones, immaculate Tiana Taylor, janelle Monae really did it for me. Coleman Domingo was amazing. Like I loved his, both of his outfits. So one of them was like an ode to Andre Neon Tally. He had the giant robe on, cause, you know, andre loved his capes and his caftans. And then, um, his second one was like a polka dot look and he looked immaculate. Um, you know who else ate it up? That I hate.
Speaker 2:Kind of ate it up, fucking kim kardashian oh, she was stunning she ate it up and she was on theme and she looked good, but that was her big one kim is always gonna eat the met gala like you can. You can probably bet that she's gonna.
Speaker 1:She's the lebron of this shit like you can't I don't think so what she is the lebron of this shit. Whatever, whatever socialite influencer, whatever you want to try to label her, she's a lebron of it.
Speaker 2:I don't know that that full cape look balenciaga, like if that wasn't in the the repertoire of her met gala looks, and that that one like kanye lebron folded with the math, so it's okay, it happens.
Speaker 1:Lebron folded with the maps, it's all right. So we we fall what are you talking? About. I'm saying lebron had l, so of course.
Speaker 2:So she can still be braun um jenna ortega, I like it. Oh my bad. Oh, what did jenna wear right here, jenna Ortega? Oh my bad. What did Jenna wear?
Speaker 1:Right here. I don't think this is on brand, it wasn't really on theme.
Speaker 2:I think it was Beaumont, and Olivier said that it was like an ode to construction and like sewing, I guess, which I do get, but it wasn't really on theme. But I appreciate the craftsmanship because it looks amazing.
Speaker 1:It just wasn't. Nikki looked good too nikki looked good she looked really good doja looked good.
Speaker 2:I think the the, the designer that won the met gala was tom brown, because tom brown dressed a lot of people and all of them looked immaculate and all of them were on point. Oh, and let's just really quickly, really quickly. Jenny was dressed by chanel. Chanel is usually just on the red carpet just due to garbage, but this time it was chef's kiss. And then there was another black, pink member I think her name is Lisa, and Lisa wore Rosa Parks's face on her panties.
Speaker 1:That's what I wanted to get into that when we talked about the ones we didn't like. That was crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Y'all see, I'll just let anything happen up there. This is the problem with it, because I kind of want to ask you a question about this. So is this like the first time a black theme has been kind of like center? Yeah theme has been kind of like center. Yeah see, this is what I had to issue with, because they have this black, you know. Theme of what is it? Dandyism?
Speaker 1:yes so they have this dandyism theme and I understand that it has a lot to do with suits and stuff like that, but it's like a.
Speaker 2:It's a very tailored form of self-expression that, like, black people took in the 1800 hundreds, and it's like a form of of um um self-expression and like bucking back at the system and taking what is theirs and making it ours in a much better way and I think that's cool and all.
Speaker 1:But I just have an issue of like the first black met gala and the one thing they allow is having our women all in suits and all that other. Just have an issue with like the first black met gala and the one thing they allow was having our women all in suits and all that other stuff. Like I was just looking at it, like that was the main thing that stuck out to me, whereas like it could have been something that you know this is going to be a woman themed event.
Speaker 1:Have that around, something that's more of a black woman, uh, aesthetic a theme because, like the ones, all the ones I didn't really like are the ones with the girls having pants on and all that other stuff.
Speaker 2:Like all the ones I didn't like are the ones with the girls who didn't have pants you didn't like sabrina carpenter. No, I didn't like sabrina carpenter. Louis vuitton did a garbage job at most of the people that they dressed.
Speaker 2:I think I didn't like louis um I didn't like pharrell's um lady, I didn't like, uh, sabrina carpenter's look and I have to look into who else um. And dochi I didn't like dochi's look either. I think they missed the mark very much and I think pharrell needs to not be the creative director of louis vuitton anymore so hold on.
Speaker 1:There's a few things that do we want to get into dochi and what happened with her oh the her her yelling at her team do you have that one, or should we?
Speaker 2:play that?
Speaker 1:no, we can play it okay, I'm gonna play that here for us, uh, but I do want to get into that a little bit. And then also too, when you said about the louis vuitton, I think that would have looked good with sabrina carpenter's look, but apparently they weren't long enough for her, or they were too long for her, the ones that they had pharrell said that she's too short and he just preferred her in like a little bodysuit instead of pants.
Speaker 2:But that's just like limits of the creative director, like there's different silhouettes that someone who's short can be in, and it'd be impactful. But I guess Pharrell does not have that vision.
Speaker 1:All right, so here was Dolce, but I guess Pharrell does not have that vision. All right, so here was Dolce. She was trying to make sure no one saw her look before she actually got onto the Met Gala carpet, and we saw it. So this is.
Speaker 2:Her team did a terrible job at covering her up, give me another.
Speaker 7:No, stop, give me another umbrella Now. Another one Right there, and another one, and another one.
Speaker 6:Another umbrella and another one, and another one and another umbrella, excuse me One. I need a four fucking umbrellas, two more umbrellas, because I'm going to try to sleep in the umbrella.
Speaker 7:Anybody Right there? Two more umbrellas, I'm so right now.
Speaker 9:All right, make a path everyone. Move, move, move. Clear a path here. Clear a path.
Speaker 7:Hold the umbrella, I'm holding it. Clear a path here Clear a path.
Speaker 2:This is extremely serious business here.
Speaker 1:Okay, but that wasn't even worth it though.
Speaker 2:She's been a fashion girly for mad long, and this is after the elevator opened and they took pictures of her outfit already.
Speaker 1:Okay, so there is no reason to be mad. You already messed up.
Speaker 2:No, because you didn't see the full look. When the elevator opened, she was kind of like turned to the side, but still like she's frustrated and I think people are just blowing it out of proportion. I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't know if this is something that we need to be like like a viral thing that we're talking about for real I'm just saying like, it's just important for folks to see, like, the stress that goes into it, and also people to have criticism regarding, like is she this diva who is?
Speaker 2:just being pushy and in the met gala is extremely stressful. If you watch any of the the vogue documentaries and countdown to the met and um the celebrities get ready with me's and stuff, like it's stressful for weeks before. It's extremely stressful. It's one of the biggest nights. It's the biggest night in fashion, point blank period no, I mean it's one of them it is the most elitist event that we know of that's why that's what the public knows of that's why I wore my nice shirt, because we talking about it, yeah.
Speaker 1:So I think there was some, also some flops that kind of happened, and some awkward situations. So there was a who wore it better. So I I think it's kind of funny that, uh, buddy law, what is law? Roach, right, that's his name. Yeah, law roach he spotted it, uh, in real time and had a reaction.
Speaker 2:So you know his girl, zendaya yeah, he was like oh, she has the same um outfit on as in there. Thank Thank God we came earlier. Hold on, I have it right here Wow.
Speaker 1:This is where you've been standing Hold on this is when he's seeing Anna Swan. She's the girl from the Godzilla spinoff and she was also in Shogun.
Speaker 7:Yeah, tell me he said nah, Now look.
Speaker 1:So if you couldn't make that, he said who wore it better? So I think we should answer that question.
Speaker 2:Zendaya wore it better because the suit was tailored better, like it was more impeccably tailored to her body. So it looked better. The other lady. The suit looked a little bit loose so it just didn't give the same thing, but they obviously had the same exact reference. They both look beautiful. The suit just looks better on Zendaya.
Speaker 1:I don't know. Anne seems to be wearing it um, I didn't.
Speaker 2:I initially I liked Alicia and Swizz, like when I first saw it, but then when I looked at it longer, I liked it even less. I like the coat thing that she had on, but I didn't like the full look. Um Damson Idris. I don't know if everyone even noticed that he pulled up in a full f1 car um with Tommy Hilfiger and then he had the race car suit on, they pulled it off and then he had the the little like moment.
Speaker 1:It was very cute, I like that did you see the hate that was going on between the girlies? So you know, all the stands was out because megan, cardi, uh, nikki, all of them was up there and they was exposing your girl, megan.
Speaker 2:It was really crazy they said, megan's look was horrible, just terrible. But I always expect megan to show up on a red carpet and give us just like nothing but she.
Speaker 1:But she was the one that said the bar about check the getty when talking about the way does she look?
Speaker 2:oh, because she was talking about nikki's wrinkles, because she looked like a little bit like you can finally tell that she's a little bit older but did you see what they was pointing out with megan?
Speaker 1:they were showing her acne all over her face. Oh, I didn't bad outbreak I didn't see that at at all. You know who else looked amazing. It was tearing, megan up Ego See.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, she doesn't. That looks like some hormonal acne too, because it's on the cheeks. That's too bad. That's what happens when you're still youthful. I'm kidding, I'm not even on one side or the other for real.
Speaker 1:No, you phony, because you just went at a new york person. They was killing nicky neck, though I ain't gonna lie they were they was body in the necklines and I felt like they wasn't, because they showed pictures of her when she was older. They was there too. Those was always something she had. Yeah, she's just. Y'all are just mean people.
Speaker 2:Sydney sweeney looked terrible. I mean she looked beautiful but like she was not on theme and she gave us absolutely nothing. Um, who else gave us nothing? Gg hadid gave us nothing. And then her reference was um, damn it. I forgot what her reference was. But that's not. That's not the theme girl you're. Just because your reference is a black woman does not mean you're on theme. Was law on theme? He he was. I did not enjoy ASAP's look. He said on the carpet that he designed it himself and then he pointed out the little boxers. The most exciting part of his look was his umbrella with the like gun cane thing on it.
Speaker 1:But other than that, he also said he loved his black women.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:I felt like that was coded.
Speaker 2:And then Ayo adibri amazing, I love the, the coral, it was like a nod to her nigerian heritage. She looked really good. And then those were all the standouts for me, like I don't really remember anybody else. A lot of the guys there were a lot of guys who, who, who did the damn thing. Shibuzuzy with his turquoise, he looked really good. And then the grill and the like. It was really really like phenomenal.
Speaker 2:And then I love the wood grain texture on the jacket. And then the like the black and the turquoise. That's literally what I want to do for my Cowboy Carter. Like, look, it's going to be black and turquoise, that's literally what I want to do for my cowboy Carter. Like, look, it's gonna be black and turquoise. So I like this. It was like it was really pretty to me and it got the job done. Who else of the men got the job done? Lewis Turner, that's his name, the one of the heads of the um, one of the chairs of the Met Gala. He turned it out. And then you know who else was a chair of the met?
Speaker 1:lebron james didn't show up savannah showed up, he turned, he tore his mcl or he sprained it, so he's hurt okay, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:I didn't know what was going on, but I just know that he was a chair of the met gala and then decided not to come and I didn't know what was the reason.
Speaker 1:And andre 3000, too, showing up with the whole piano on his back, that was very like that was a moment okay so I do want to just kind of get into some of like the bigger things because, like I said, this is just an event of godliness. There's nothing the charity is for like an art costume place, like none of this stuff actually really changes society. But I do think it's a bigger point just to discuss, like why they picked this certain theme and the idea of like having all of these women, you know, in this particular outfit and it's our women more often than not and I just feel like I was just sitting here really pondering it like most of the day like why would they pick that theme out of all? Do you feel? Do you know of any like background for it, anything?
Speaker 2:like that.
Speaker 1:No, they don't tell why they pick the theme that they pick for each year, but each year is a different theme, because my thing is, like you got to think about when they do allow us moments like this because this is a moment where they allow us this isn't no black, revolutionary, liberating moment. This is a moment they allow for us to happen you got to ask yourself why do they allow this particular one to happen there?
Speaker 2:might have been um, we, I, we don't know what the what the met theme process is at all. It might be a bunch of people submit their ideas and then anna goes through them, or they have presentations and then anna picks one, or it might just be anna who just comes up with it in her head. It's probably the first one. But, um, I would assume that there were a lot of black people in the that that building. Um condenassed that really wanted like a blackity, black black met gala. They did china through the looking glass a couple years ago, which was 10 years ago. It was amazing. It was probably one of my favorite mets.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I think it was interesting.
Speaker 2:Future cut his hair yeah, future looks like chucky and everyone's been saying that gorgeous doll did a number on him and that's why he cut the dreads. She came on tiktok and she was like they was hanging on by a thread anyway. So you definitely should have cut them off, wayne, you next. And he looks stupid, like why did you dye it? You should have just kept it natural. Maybe just got a fade, like it's like straight, a little bit Like you didn't want to like get the little wave like the brush with the holes in it, so you could at least get a little curl in there, like you didn't I feel like he cut the dreads, and then he literally looked like Chucky's son Like what, you're not peeping what's going on with future.
Speaker 1:Right now he is clearly in a crisis where he's trying to redefine himself, even especially which is crazy after the year he just had, last year. But I think it's very obvious that you do this drastic aesthetic change to you and then, even if he looked like he was St John Like that's who he looked like he was trying to imitate was St John.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And so it's like I can just see where now he's just going into a rebrand. I think it's an overcorrection for no reason. I think you had at least on lock for another five years, and whatever you and your team was doing the locks wasn't on lock for another five years though. Man, he could have put whatever he needed to to make that shit look normal. You got enough money to pay whoever you need to to make that shit.
Speaker 2:When the structural foundation has given up, you give up with it.
Speaker 1:You can get a cap. They got dread caps you can put on. You would have been straight dog.
Speaker 2:This nigga wants Future to be up there with a weave.
Speaker 1:That's crazy, I think Future.
Speaker 2:This nigga said you need to get a wig Future, you need to get a seat, a 4x6 frontal and some bundles of some locks. And hold it down Instead of just cutting it off, like you should have Nah, because that's not just a normal cutoff.
Speaker 1:You just said the nigga had the frizzy look. He look like the dude from the. No, he should have Nah, because that's not just a normal cut off. You just said the nigga had the frizzy look. He look like the dude from the.
Speaker 2:No, he should have cut more off. What's the Disney? Show with the nigga with the spiky hair he looks like Chuckie's son.
Speaker 1:The Disney hair. Remember the nigga at the Disney show? He had the spiky blonde hair.
Speaker 2:That's who that nigga look like. What's his name? Otto from Rocket Power, he did.
Speaker 1:I'm just telling you future is going through an issue. I think we're going to need to explore that more. Trippie Redd situation just happened. He then got exposed for dirty macking my man going through it.
Speaker 2:You want to get into that really quickly, because I thought that was actually super hilarious. Let me see if I can pull up the text real quick.
Speaker 1:So Trippie Redd has been, you know, doing his big one. He then got shorty pregnant and now, as normal negro fashion, you gotta flex on her while she uh is holding a kid. So he's been uh, running around with the likes of women who are. I think he's doing it on purpose, because if I was him, that's what I would do you run around with the thick ones all around, make her, make her jealous, make her upset. And just so happened this one girl he just snatched from future, and apparently some text messages got leaked out between her and future and she said that trippy didn't do it.
Speaker 1:He didn't leak the text messages, but they did make future look crazy, did you?
Speaker 2:you pull up he said there's a, I guess. Uh, he sent her a screenshot of like a blog t page and he says and I guess they got they each other's names tatted or he got, she got his name tatted, or something like that. And he goes shaking my head, I hope you get that tattoo removed. Embarrassing you really a good girl. And she replies lol, you're such a narcissist you took back my watch the ap that's what.
Speaker 2:That's what you're supposed to do, the ladies he didn't take gorgeous dolls back and she over here flexing a whole arm full of them. So he, I guess he learned his lesson, um, and he said she said there's really nothing to speak on. And he goes that's your nigga. Now that's nasty. She goes, we talk. And nasty, she goes, we talk. And then he replies you come to Miami and don't let me know. Huh, he a little mad. She goes you got a bunch of three women, et cetera. I don't want to be a part of that. And he replies you stupid to think that's not the case with any of these niggas.
Speaker 1:That's dirty macking right there. It's hard to see like the niggas. That's dirty macking right there, it's. It's hard to see like the niggas. That was a legend to you when you was coming up. They was the niggas who was making the music and doing all the oh, we fucking foreigns, and all that just to see them fall from grace like this man.
Speaker 2:That was tough like you didn't have to result from to dirty macking are you surprised that future is a dirty mac? I'm not surprised. Have you listened?
Speaker 1:to future's music. Now I'm not surprised he dirty macking, but I think that it's when you're in a position where the younger artist is the one that's going to come up on the rise and he just take one of your joints from you. That shit gonna make you feel a kind of way and it's unfortunate that you go to such lengths. Future Like that shit was disgusting. What I saw right there. That's not of men, that shit was nasty. But I understand it in your position.
Speaker 2:Now from her position. The girl who went from Future to Trippie Redd girl. What the fuck the fuck? Trippie Redd looks like bacteria. Like Trippie Redd, future is actually handsome. He was looks like bacteria. Like trippy red future is actually handsome. He was. He needs, he needs to dye the hair black. That's all I need from him at this point. You can leave it. Just dye it black, please, for the love of god. But like future is handsome. Trippy red is not that at all.
Speaker 1:He looks like he's diseased I'm just telling you, the man get the bread from the white boys he looks like his breath stinks.
Speaker 2:He looks like his tongue is always white. That's what they like though if they, if he's spinning out, he's spinning that paper and then so trippy red, I guess uh today posted a video with his ex and she got like face tattoos and stuff and she looked like she do heroin. So she looks like the type of girl that would be with the type of nigga like trippy red, because trippy red looks like he snorts paint, but what does that say about koala ray then?
Speaker 1:no, she's a dumb bitch for having that baby we're not talking about koala ray.
Speaker 2:We're just talking about this woman who went from future to trippy.
Speaker 1:Obviously it's something that they they rocking with. I don't know what else to tell you. It's obviously something that they rock the money, then they rocking with it.
Speaker 2:I can't get mad at it the only thing that makes sense is trippy has to be a bigger trick than Future, which All right, I do want to ask you something about Rihanna, because she just announced her third child. Congratulations.
Speaker 1:Congratulations on that. Let's give her a round of applause.
Speaker 2:She was also talking about the fact that she's still gonna release um the album r9. I guess, listen, girl, I don't believe you until it's on my phone. Like you could, you could give me a release date. You could be like 9 pm tonight. I don't believe you till 901 all right.
Speaker 1:So I do want to tread lightly with what I'm going to say here coming up. But again, this is no nothing on the youngins, this is just on the process. Three, what is it? Four out of four years? Right, it's been four years since she had her first kid. I don't know I think it's.
Speaker 2:I don't know how old her first child is I think it was.
Speaker 1:I think that was like the super bowl. She did right, that was. 2022 was the super bowl. I think it was. I think that was like the Super Bowl. She did right, that was. 2022 was the Super.
Speaker 2:Bowl.
Speaker 1:I think, yeah, I think that was the first pregnancy. So that's within three years. Jesus, so she's been pregnant every year.
Speaker 2:since then, the ASAP has not gotten off of her.
Speaker 1:I think there's some mental health things going on with anybody who gets pregnant three times in a row, like that.
Speaker 2:She has money and she was 37 when she had her first child.
Speaker 1:Okay, and that even makes even more where you want to just relax.
Speaker 2:I think she wants a big family. Rihanna's always talked about wanting a big family and then I feel like she probably thinks that she needs to get them out back to back to back because she will start having more complications if she waits longer periods of time between each pregnancy. You coming in here and trying to say that this woman in her late 30s has mental health issues because she decided to have a family, and a large one, and quickly, is fucking crazy to me, and you go ahead and defend yourself because I'm done crazy to me and you go ahead and defend yourself because I'm done.
Speaker 1:What I'm saying is is pregnancy not something that can really take a toll?
Speaker 2:on a woman's body if it was taking that much of a toll on her body, do you not? Think that she would have gotten a surrogate, because she can. I just did I not just say it's a mental health issue do you not think that she would have gotten a surrogate if she was going through mental or physically taxing?
Speaker 1:pregnancies. Did I not say it was a mental health issue? So I'm saying, if it's a mental health issue, so again my question is pregnancy, not taxing physically on a woman's body, like some of you say.
Speaker 2:It's like getting hit by a truck per se it can be, but some women have really pleasant pregnancies okay, again we don't know what's going on with her body essentially a pregnancy is.
Speaker 1:You're taking your body through an extreme process. Regardless of how light it may feel, it's still an extreme process. You're creating and bringing life in the world, doing that over and over and over, multiple times. That is insane. I think it's crazy when men get their women pregnant at that frequency. I think it's crazy when men get their women pregnant at that frequency. I think it's crazy when, when women take their body through that at that frequency, that is insane. And then you already know there's studies that talk about women who have this obsession with being pregnant, where they want to always be pregnant because of the uh notoriety and the the uh feeling and emotions they they get from people well, we can probably safely say that rihanna's not getting pregnant for notoriety, because she's gonna be notoriety regardless nobody's saying there's notoriety, but there's also.
Speaker 2:You can't act like or she might just be trying for a girl you haven't had a lot of your friends have had kids, right?
Speaker 1:I mean, like a lot of your female friends have been pregnant, had kids no okay. So I've experienced that and seeing and I've seen friends and and people who are adjacent to friends have multiple kids because they enjoy the feeling that people come in around them and oh here's that, you're so beautiful baby, and they get obsessed by that and we're to the point where they had to, like actually talk to somebody.
Speaker 2:And you think that this might be a state of mind?
Speaker 1:just like when we have a discussion about like a Nick Cannon and how they can do whatever they want with their bodies because they have this particular capital, but there's still what you would say an issue, with someone like nick cannon going around spreading the seed yeah, because he's creating broken families. I think that's why it's an issue. I think it's even crazier with her putting her body through such stress, and of course, you would this don't make no goddamn sense.
Speaker 2:I do make sense. I cannot sit next to you and watch you and listen to you spew this bullshit. Oh my god, like how is it worse that rihanna and her husband?
Speaker 1:I never said worse. You said it's worse or crazy level. I said it's on the same thing, it's the same discussion it's not the same discussion, it is when you're taking your body through that. That's a mental health thing, like you should be one at least take a year break how do you know that she's going through anything that's so trauma, traumatic?
Speaker 2:it's a pregnancy, she might be the weakest of pregnancies is still the craziest she might be literally just trying to have her family in a timely manner so that she can stop having babies. You just said surrogates, get a surrogate why would you take your money, your? Body. Why the fuck are you sitting here telling her what the fuck to do with her body? Asking questions, jesus christ? Why are you asking questions about her body?
Speaker 1:because I have. I have questions, I want to know you. You present these things to us, for us to view, and I have now have questions and concerns because that is wild and then she always hides her pregnancies till she can't anymore, like I don't think she presents things to us. She's a public figure and we see her, and that's simply it it could just be about what you feel amongst the people in your community during that so it doesn't necessarily have to be a fame-driven urge.
Speaker 2:Her first child was born in 2022. The second one was born in 2023. And now, 2025, two years later, she's pregnant. That's not crazy.
Speaker 1:That is crazy, that's crazy, that's not crazy at all. That's a lot. That's a big toll on the body.
Speaker 2:There are people who want their children to have closer age gaps.
Speaker 3:That could be it um she could, I can see two, like I said.
Speaker 2:Like I said, she could potentially just want to give birth while she can give birth, or she might be getting pregnant again because she potentially wants a girl. We don't know because we not in that lady's vagina I'm just gonna tell y'all at home, man stay out that lady's uterus stay.
Speaker 1:You know, get your, get your vitamins, get your minerals, man, save up that energy. You don't gotta pop them out left and right. Man, it's not an example to follow, please, because I feel like that's gonna be the the newest trend coming up if you got rihanna and asap money which none of you and you have access to the, the medical professionals, then?
Speaker 1:you do what you want and none of you don't remember that. None of you don't. Uh, let's see, you want to talk about the racist white lady, shiloh hendrix I don't know who that is so you haven't seen that's been going on.
Speaker 1:So she called a what people have said that he was a five-year-old autistic black kid. I don't think he was five. I think he's a little bit older than that. But that's neither here nor there. You don't need to be calling kids a nigger at the park. She called him a nigger because she tried to say he was like stealing something from her daughter. I did see that and apparently she's raised like up over like half a million dollars so far for like whatever, like moving and protection or whatever they're trying to say. And all of the conservatives, the matt walsh's uh, I don't think charlie kirk has, but uh, the myron gangs are amour.
Speaker 1:As I learned his name, his name was amour, that's his real name, myron gang that's his, uh, sudanese name, and just a whole bunch of other just racist white people have just kind of latched on to this and, like, turned her into a symbol and I think my first take on this is like white niggas are so like you, white boys are so soft Like your women, have to do your work for you, for everything.
Speaker 1:These are the ones that y'all got to send to us to be tough. Why ain't y'all white boys calling us niggas to our faces and calling men niggas, like, if you really tough, if you really about the word, if you really not scared of the problems and the repercussions that come with it, why don't y'all just say it to us and just see what happens? Then Go up and just say it to a random black person. Call them a nigger. Call them a nigger, just see what happens. Try it. Don't send your women to go to parks and call kids that, because I've been seeing them get tough Like oh yeah, we're tired of this. We're tired of being told what we can't say. Keep doing it, say it and just make sure that you get home afterwards.
Speaker 2:I think white women will always have that type of audacity because they can stand behind white men. But the white men ain't going to defend them. They are, though. They'll defend them with the money. Isn't she being defended by white men? I mean probably more than white men.
Speaker 1:Because I've seen some nasty black men talk about sending money to her too. But again, I'm talking about physical defense. You're talking about what they can do financially.
Speaker 1:Like I was in spaces the other day listening to white national spaces talk about this. And it's crazy to listen to these white people had these discussions because they sound like the crazy black niggas having a discussions talking about oh, we can see, we can get the money. The money is here, we can raise that up for our causes and stuff like that. And it's like y'all are so obsessed with us. It's it ever since that they told y'all y'all can't tell us to hit the fields anymore, like on y'all whim. Y'all have been so obsessed with controlling us. Y'all can't tell us to hit the fields anymore, like on y'all whim. Y'all have been so obsessed with controlling us. Y'all been so obsessed that's what got the, the boy killed in uh, texas at the track meet because y'all want to control us instead of teaching y'all kids how to call a teacher and having a teacher or an authority figure handle that white people overstep boundaries all the time because they feel like they're like authoritative figures especially when it's colored people involved.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 100 did you see?
Speaker 1:uh, mark lamont was on piers morgan discussing this no, I did not see that so he got caught up with the debate, regarding which I don't even think that's the stupid part of even having the debate around this. But he got caught up with myron and they had remember that white girl that we talked about, that said nigga and got like on all these podcasts. She was on there and there was another woman who was a little bit more sensible, but Myron goes up there, acts an ass. He ends up playing like chimp music while Mark is talking. He has a little gun that says nigger, that shoots a nigger post out. He was really being like wildly disrespectful. But there was one point that really stuck out was when Piers was talking to the white girl. He kind of like challenged her to say the N word. So I'm going to play a little bit of that here.
Speaker 7:I want to live in a country where people are allowed to say what they want unashamedly.
Speaker 3:And you can, you will not go on, say go on say the n-word, go on no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no, no, no, no.
Speaker 9:I don't want you to invite this woman to say a racially harmful term, because I'm the only. I'm the only one here, so if she says it, I'm the victim of it. So please don't invite her, for ratings, to call me the N-word, because that's basically what it's going to be. There's a bunch of white people up here and one Uncle Tom on the left here, and ask her to say the.
Speaker 9:N-word while I'm here is ridiculous. You would not sit here with a Jewish person and say please use a Jewish slur in front of this. Jewish it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1:I understand you don't have any bad a racial harm to me I hear you, I hear you and I accept that and we'll leave it there okay, and that's why I'm not upset with mark, because I was, like I said, I discussed with him on spaces regarding having conversations with these kind of people and things like that. But I want to talk to people more about how you actually address these kind of clowns, because there is an art to it. You can't just fight them with logic, you can't go with reason, you can't go facts. You have to play their game, and what I mean by that is you have to show them they aren't who they say they are. So when you go to a clown like myron and this is what he actually, mark, did on his live we talked about you should have called. You should never have called myron by that name. You should have called him Amor the entire time. Make sure everybody hears his Sudanese name every time you address him. That's the only way. He didn't know Mark was going to be on there. That's why I got to give you grace on that. But this is what you, how you want to handle them, because they aren't he.
Speaker 1:He is a clown and, as you know, you represent, like I said, he is just someone who tries to act like he's an african-american, say racist, racist, charge things against black people to get up to gain a white audience. He's just a dude boy and a clown. We discussed on here when they was calling him a sand nigger in spaces to his face and he was acting like a little hoe. So that's what I mean. When you got to address that you have to point out the fact that they are clowns and that they are, or do, boys. For it he did call my uncle tom. I did appreciate that.
Speaker 1:But you got to understand these people don't fight fair. They don't fight with reason or logic. Candace, owens, all of them. You have to attack them with the idiots that they show themselves to be and to show them that they are not consistent in any of these arguments that they have. But it's easy to fall for the clips, because even myron was cutting up clips and all this other stuff, because Mark is going to let these people talk. So even when they're spewing all of these lies, misinformation and stereotypes, you kind of get stuck in the actual parameters of, you know, respecting the program.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because you can't all speak at the same time and you can't cut people off even though they're spewing nonsense, garbage. You have to let them get their shit off.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you could trust Pierce after pulling a couple moves he done pulled on you a few times regarding this, the Israel-Palestine conversations they had. I think that this might be something you might want to recheck with. I know he's a good colleague of yours and y'all both had like they've been ostracizing the media for takes that they've had before in the past, so I can understand where there's some camaraderie around that, but peers, be trying to set you up for failure. Man, he can at least tell you who's gonna be on the, on the guest, so you can know yeah, prepare yourself like I.
Speaker 1:I think that's, even if that's something he does for everybody, where it's just a random thing, that's, I don't think that's cool.
Speaker 2:That shouldn't be something that people would be comfortable with either that or you just need a folder in your phone of, just like for all of the conservatives that you know might pop up on these panels with you.
Speaker 1:Just like, a little like just have like an extra little little roller deck to just what little bombs you can put yeah, you need to be prepared for these motherfuckers my rent like that.
Speaker 1:Now they're doing this thing where they go on school, college campuses and they talk to kids and they have these quote-unquote debates where they just cut up and show the ones where they make the kids who are uninformed look stupid, and I just feel like right now, the way that they've been pushing that and the way that content's coming out, we have to get on the offensive on people who are opposite of this, like I'm talking about. Just we don't even have to be on the same side of the left, like I mean. We have to just be addressed this kind of misinformation at the head, because if it bleeds out into common thought even more, we just see what happened, like we can get into the situation that just happened with the gentleman that was arrested for killing officer. So I think his name was Rodney Hilton Jr. Rodney Hilton.
Speaker 2:Jr yeah.
Speaker 1:He was arrested for killing an officer and his son, who was just involved in another incident, which they accused of being an alleged stolen vehicle, but with more information that's been coming out.
Speaker 1:Oh, hinton, mm-hmm. Okay, I apologize but no, his son was an alleged what they said they believe was a stolen vehicle. But more information has been potentially coming out where they're believed that it may not have been stolen in the traditional sense, but actually stolen in regards to like there was batting battle back on payments. So in the system it looks to the police is just stolen, regard like a universal stolen, but this is just they didn't pay the vehicle off and so now they can tow it away. Yeah, they don't necessarily own the vehicle anymore because they uh, missed their payments, and so that's where they said this turned into. I don't know if you've seen like there was a clip of either his cousin that was talking about apologizing because his brother wasn't, because ryan wasn't supposed to be in the car. But ryan runs out of the car when the police come and they shoot him saying that he pointed the gun at them while he's running away, which which doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2:That's always the case. These black men are always like running away, in like modes of self-defense or something like that, or in fight or flight, and then the cops feel like, oh, they're in danger. If you constantly feel like you're in danger, you maybe shouldn't be a cop.
Speaker 1:No, I mean, that's exactly what his words were saying. He feared for his life.
Speaker 1:They always you maybe shouldn't be a cop. No, I mean, that's exactly what his words were saying he feared for his life. Uh, they always feel for their lives. It's part of the protocol protocol. They actually tell you to say that in your training. But no, I mean people want it.
Speaker 1:Would love for us to come up here and either like be like one side or the other in regards to our feelings towards uh. Rodney, when you live in a world where you see your people and people who look like you getting killed, getting unfairly tried, getting unfair bails, being part of the group of people who are the largest people who are convicted incorrectly, in error, you know, when you just look at that and all the disadvantages that come with being black and to have your son lose his life in that mind. For in that type of uh environment, that type of way, in that harsh and gruesome way, that's going to turn somebody into a situation, into a person who will act rash and even though he didn't go after like this isn't like premeditated in the sense where he hunted down and found the officer who shot his son, no, he retaliated by killing the first person he saw with a badge.
Speaker 1:And in this situation where you feel like your son is never going to get the justice that he deserves you know, he's not why do you, why, why would you feel anything other but to sacrifice yourself for him so that that person who killed him knows that you killed another officer because of your actions? Yeah, what you did to my son is why now officer and his family have to go through, uh, problems and issues, and you got to live with that, knowing it was your fault yeah, even though he had nothing to to do with it technically and I'm not gonna lie to y'all, seeing him walk up with his head high, looking every one of those officers in the eye, one of the most powerful things I've ever seen yeah, I'm glad he didn't like hold his head down.
Speaker 2:I'm glad he kept his head up and looked at all of them in the face. Um, they were dead ass just trying to intimidate him in that court and it did not work. He was not intimidated one bit. He didn't seem ashamed. He stood on business and there's like I have, I have no um, I have nothing but like tens, tens for you. I don't know Um there were, there were.
Speaker 2:There's been a lot of drama in the court while he's being tried, um in the, the crowd, like his family and stuff. Like they got into it with some other people. I don't know what was going on back there and then the next day all of the cops like took up all of the space on the benches so that, like his family and his supporters and the public had nowhere else to sit. One of his cousins came up, tapped on the glass to let him know that he was there for him and then all of the police like rushed his cousin. It's been like it's so representatory of like where we are right now, like we're frustrated and they're bullies and that's that's where we are.
Speaker 1:I mean, I I spoke to this earlier saying that this is the reason why they are, you know, implement more cop cities and stuff like that around the country, because civil unrest is inevitability when you have fascism and what we just voted is that in was fascism and that is only going to be inevitable. This is going to become far more common. It's going to become, uh, something that we probably going to hear more on the news more frequently than it's probably ever happened, just because of just the type of person who's in office, what that attracts from the media and the media goes and tries to find these particular stories, because this stuff happens all the time. You hear about police getting killed in incidences. You hear about police killing people, uh, just in your regular day-to-day town, like if you go and listen to just regular news, you can hear incidences going on with your police, like I was just scaling through, uh on twitter and I heard oh, here it is okay.
Speaker 11:So it was just just like this what happened georgia police chief has been placed on leave after allegations that he ordered a sergeant to cover up for his brother who is a suspect in a murder investigation. Boy spicy, let's get deeper into this story. And so we find out that the Jonesboro police chief, whose name is Michael Yates, was put on non-disciplinary administrative leave after the GBI, or Georgia Bureau of Investigation, was called in because there were allegations that Sergeant Demarquavius King concealed information that the police chief's brother here was a suspect in a murder. So, basically, the GBI was called in because there's a potential coverup. You look at what happened with Amar Arbery and so many other cases. Boy, I tell you, blue lines matter. It's looking like the pigs only job is covering up murders. Acab.
Speaker 1:So I'm just saying, like it just crazy stuff is happening and it just not going to get highlighted because of whatever individual you know is going on in this. I'm pretty sure this isn't getting highlighted because of the police are involved and they're the main suspects in what's going on. But this stuff is going to become more and more common man. I just ask that y'all protect yourselves more common man. I just ask that y'all protect yourselves. Y'all just try to be mindful and understand that the things that are happening aren't always going to necessarily be in your control and you just kind of have to react, uh, accordingly I'm not gonna tell nobody to be no sucker.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna tell anybody to resist and and do something that may potentially lose their life, but at the end of the day, you got to make a decision for you and what that matters. So it's tough yeah, all right.
Speaker 1:So there's this article that's been people been discussing. I believe it was an independent and it said, oh, excuse me, the intellinger. And it says everyone is cheating their way through college. Chat gbt unraveled the entire academic project and so I want to read a little bit of this, because it was discussing this guy. His name was Chungjin Lee.
Speaker 1:He stepped into Columbia University campus this past fall and, by his own admissions, proceeded to use generated artificial intelligence to cheat on nearly every assignment. As a computer science major he depended on AI as an instructory program classes. I dump this is what he said here. I quote I just dumped the prompt into chat gbt and handed whatever is spat out by his rough math. I ai wrote 80 of every essay he turned in. At the end I'd put the finishing touches. I just ensured 20 of my humanity, my voice, into it. Lee told uh recently he also. He said he was actually born in south korea. He grew up outside of atlanta where his parents run a college prep consulting business. Uh he's, he said he admitted to harvard earlier, her senior year, high school, but the university rescinded its offer after he was suspended for sneaking out during an overnight field trip before graduation. That means you did something crazy, like they're not going to rescind the offer not just because you snuck out, somebody probably lost their life or something you do, or got arrested.
Speaker 1:A year later he applied for 26 schools. He didn't get into any of them. He spent the next year at a community college and transferred to columbia. His personal essay, which turned his uh winding road into higher education to a parable of ambition and building companies, was written with the help of chat gbt.
Speaker 2:So apparently he kind of goes into like this is the university not going to rescind his degree now, since he's admitting to cheating on everything?
Speaker 1:no way. There's no way doing that. But there were some other things that were quoted out here, so here was another excerpt from their college is just as just how well I use chat BT at this point. A student in Utah recently captioned a video of herself copying and pasting a chapter from the genocide and mass atrocity textbooks from into chat GBT. Another quote here Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees and into the workforce who are essentially illiterate, he said both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge on their own culture, much less anyone else. Have thought about a lot, because I'm like, if people are using this and in all honesty you don't really have to do much to change an article around to make it from your own words, because that's honestly, when I was in school it wasn't chat GBT what I did, but I would take the syllabus.
Speaker 1:or if they had a template of the article, I mean, of what the teacher was looking for, I would just put my information and plug in place. So, like say, if it was the introduction was the first sentence, I would do an introduction of my own. So if the next sentence was describing a certain part of whatever the subject was, I would literally do that. But they're just now Do the assignment.
Speaker 2:You would do the assignment. I would do the assignment, but I would copy.
Speaker 1:But I would use the template that the teacher would. I would do it based off the template that's not doing the assignment fucking doing the assignment based off the template.
Speaker 2:That's what you're supposed to do. Are you not supposed to use the template that the professor gave you to do the assignment? This?
Speaker 1:gives you an idea what to expect. But I was literally under. I would read the sentence, understand what the sentence was trying to say and then make up my own sentence based off of that understanding I got. So it was literally a one-for-one. That's not what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to write and have it lay out your point or whatever I'm saying. I was doing what the chat GGB does, but just with a person, and I still had to learn what I was talking about. I couldn't just glaze over the details and the important information and then just add my thoughts about X, y and Z, which this nigga was essentially doing. Yeah, he literally knew nothing about it. He just had an opinion and he freshened up the word so that it wasn't, you know, a one for one.
Speaker 2:I've seen kids have like these transcribers on their like phones, laptops or whatever whatever listening to the entire lecture, and then it'll tell them to make them like a study guide or flash cards or something based off that lecture, or like give me the main points and they'd be like not paying attention in class the whole time. That's what I would be doing, I mean for sure, I'd be like listen, not just record.
Speaker 2:Listen to this for me and then give me a little study guide based off of this, so that I can actually learn what the professor said, but not in this long winded ass way that they just gave it to me. That is so. I'm so jealous because we did not have that when we were in undergrad.
Speaker 1:Oh no, we didn't have anything close that could break it down like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like, make you whole study guides, but these kids ain't doing the study guide though. They skipping that part. Yeah, no, I'm saying that's what I would. That's what, that's the crazy part about it.
Speaker 1:They over here skipping the whole study guide and saying, nah, let's just, you just write the information and it's. This is detrimental to our society. I don't think people understand that.
Speaker 2:There are some fields, though, that you have to have the information to even get past to a certain point. Yeah, you could fake it to a certain point, but like you're gonna get figured out at one point or another, you can't become like a lawyer or a doctor or something like that without actually knowing the information yeah, well, it depends with the lawyer and the doctor point, because a doctor depends on what kind of doctor you're gonna be.
Speaker 2:Well, there are very large tests at the end of those that you cannot cheat on point blank period.
Speaker 1:So you're not going to be able to pass those tests no, I'm saying like the bar and the residency and stuff, like you're not getting there you're not becoming a lawyer or doctor without having that information, but there is a lot of elements. I think, a lawyer, you're probably not going to pass the bar without at least some uh understanding and, and you know, studying, but I think there's gonna be a lot of people very rigorous.
Speaker 1:I think there's gonna be a lot of people who's gonna get up to the point with this and be sitting there like, hey, I, I don't know, I'm just gonna have to guess, like I'm just really gonna have to guess on this yeah, because I've had friends take the bar and it's like a you have to have knowledge on like things and like concepts of things too.
Speaker 1:Like it's extremely complicated, but I mean I could even see where we can get to a point where, if the folks aren't even getting to that, if the folks who have the option so you could, you know you can you don't have to do pre-law to get into the law school. You can do other things to get into law school. So if we are losing out on those individuals in that process before we even get to the more rigorous stuff, I think that is where the real detriment happens, because now we're not even going to be able to get the lawyers because the niggas who was doing whatever other courses got to that, that first degree on bullshit, that second degree. Are they even going to be having the capabilities to now turn that part of their brain on when they, for four years, was using this cheat sheet? I don't think so. That's where the issue comes from, because where does higher, if we're, if you're allowed to get through the basic part of college with that like chat, gpt probably can get you any basic level degree?
Speaker 1:yeah, it can what does that mean when we try to get these people to now start, to now get the expertise of it and they don't even have the foundations of what they need to learn? Because that's what you're you're learning when you're in school is those rigors, those uh processes that you develop when you're learning about something that's why they kind of does do a broad when your first few years of you just doing like math, science, like you're doing all of that.
Speaker 2:I don't get that, because what the fuck was I in high school for? What was I doing in high school?
Speaker 1:But you know that's not the same level of writing and the same level of detail when you were doing those classes?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but like when I get to college. Now I feel like after one semester, let's get specific. I feel like the first year should be like that.
Speaker 1:Let's get specific, unless I'm specifically choosing to not be because you're also giving people the opportunity to understand like, hey, maybe what you came in here to be isn't your strong suit, so maybe you want to change it.
Speaker 2:I feel like degrees should take less time to get. I mean, if, if my first year or two is just like feeling things out and then I'm able to do the degree in the last two years, technically, why am I supposed to be in college for four years? Let me get the two and get my bachelor's and get the fuck.
Speaker 1:Well, you got to do what Lee did. Lee got, went to community college and got those out the way for the low and then went to Columbia. That's not what I'm saying. I mean, that's what you're supposed to, that's what we were doing.
Speaker 2:Now I'm saying that it should not be the way it is and that it should change completely.
Speaker 1:I think another issue with this is too, because it's not just the a failure of academia, it's also a failure of how we have value education, and I think that's one of the things that our generation was sold uh, a lot of bs on was the idea that education was going to turn into capital and that being a motivation is inherently the problem.
Speaker 1:Like you shouldn't make being a well-read, well-informed individual synonymous with oh, this is how you can get money too, because it's not always going to play like that. Honestly, it's more better, it's probably better as an individual to you to just focus on one thing and not be well-versed on what's going on or have a good understanding of a lot of stuff, because then you don't have a mastery of anything and in the real world per se, you don't have a mastery of anything in the real world per se. So that's why I think when we have this value of education, we lose we. Well, when we have this devaluing of education because we want to only get to value our pockets, we see where we develop all of these problems. And these folks who don't care about learning anything, like you, don't care about the anything that you're doing.
Speaker 1:If you're using chat, gbt, it doesn't interest you at all, it doesn't uh no you have no passion for it, because if you did, you would at least focus on this one course or this one class because you liked it. And I think we're just losing that hour and we're killing our thoughts and passions for things because we are so focused on the end goal I think if you're not passionate about something, then you shouldn't be in college.
Speaker 2:But a lot of people don't have that option. A lot of people have parents that are like college or nothing, so you have to go and then you kind of just have to like bullshit it out, and if that's the case, then go ahead and chat, gtp your way to a degree.
Speaker 1:It says right here. So I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in and when I opened the document I was surprised to see the topic Critical Pedagogy, the Philosophy of Education, pioneer by Paul Freire. The philosopher examines the influence of social and political forces on learning the classroom dynamics. The influence of social and political forces on learning the classroom dynamics. Her opening line to what extent is the school hindering students cognitive ability to think critically? Later I asked wendy if she recognized the irony in using ai to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy, uh, but on the one, on one that argues learning that hold on on one that argues learning is what makes us truly human.
Speaker 1:That's funny, hey, man. Like I think it's very ironic overall. Man, we're cooked. Man, we're cooked because we don't value nothing, we have no passions anymore. We're cooked. It's, it's awful, it's really sick, all right. So trump is on a historic run of stupidity and is getting exposed in real time. So this past week he said a few things, um that I'll just. I'll just read right here.
Speaker 5:Uh, the movie industry is dying in america very, very fast, very fast. Other countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood and many other areas in the United States are being devastated. It's a horrible thing. It's a horrible thing, and this concentrated effort by nationals is therefore a national security threat.
Speaker 1:So he said, that movies not being made or produced whatever he was like, because people are trying to fight over the words that he's using here movies not being made in america is a national security threat. Not only did he do that, so apparently there was a movie night at mar-a-lago this past weekend, and I think this is where this stems from, because he also watched a movie. Uh, the clint eastwood movie about what escaped from uh out switch or not all switch was the name alcatraz escaped from alcatraz.
Speaker 5:This nigga the next day, on monday. I want to reopen alcatraz. They had one person get out, but we got him. The sharks got him, but but, but I want. I want to make it better. No one's ever going to escape with Trump. Alcatraz is a museum.
Speaker 2:That confirms what I think Trump be doing. He just be coming across things and then trying to put it into effect in real life, and it's like that's a movie. For a reason it used to be a real place, yeah.
Speaker 1:I know, but there's a reason why they got rid of it. It was too expensive. It didn't make sense to get people on a cruise to fucking a prison when you could just have them on the prisons on the mainland yeah, and they still don't get out and then it's. It's scary to think about like this man is literally making ideas of how we should run the government by having a weekend at mar-a-lago like a movie night at that a movie night, and even this last thing, like it's so evident what this happened.
Speaker 1:So trump has been the president of. Oh, we need to deregulate everything we need to let people come up, but then he's just at alabama before his, his little weekend getaway. And guess who he talks to? Who? Good old nick saban. Good old, the ex-coach of uh of alabama, who recently left because of how nil is being done in regards to the players having more autonomy and things of that nature and so he says to trump, we, we need to regulate this.
Speaker 1:So when the black boys can argue and negotiate with these schools and teams, it's a problem, but when y'all can dump pollution and and run generators, that's destroying the fabric of the of the black communities, oh y'all, that's cool for y'all. It's just insane to me that this, this just happens and and we're just supposed to sit there and say, oh no, trump is not a racist, trump's not a bad guy, trump doesn't do xyz, when it's just right there in our faces.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we've gotten examples time and time and time again. I feel like if you're saying that Trump is not a bad guy and Trump's not racist, then you just don't want to see it. There's no proof that could be put in front of you that's going to change your mind at all. Your mind doesn't want to be changed.
Speaker 1:I want to play a little bit from Fox News that's talking about this.
Speaker 13:President Trump is reportedly considering an executive order to regulate name-image likeness deals in college sports. After meeting with legendary coach Nick Saban after the University of Alabama's commencement, co-host of Hot Mic on Outkickcom, chad Withrow, joins us now. Chad, thanks for joining us. I just want to set the stage here for our audience and then let you go from there. So, name, image and likeness this was decided by the Supreme Court, I believe, unanimously that the NCAA could not bar college athletes, which were looked at as amateur, from making money off their name, image and likeness basically endorsement deals. Their popularity has a monetary value. But now we are in a place where, because the NCAA was hit so hard by this decision and there was a vacuum and nothing to fill it, now we're in a place where, basically, players are getting paid to go to a university and they can go every year, get paid more and go somewhere else. It's a completely free market. It's unregulated and that's what Nick Saban's, that's what his problem is.
Speaker 2:Okay so you can see they're hating. The boys are making too much money and they can have too much freedom and we can control them less, so now it's a problem one of the things that recently just happened.
Speaker 1:There was a quarterback who was at the university of tennessee and he just had a similar issue with this, where he wanted to get some additional money to play for the next season and the coach essentially kicked him off the team for not showing up to camp and he ended up signing uh with another school. And you know he's I guess he's taken care of in a way that he feels comfortable with. But to me y'all coaches treat and use these kids any way that y'all want to. Y'all jump from school to school in the middle of the playoff, like they'll be at the end of the season and they'll have a playoff game. The coaches will quit.
Speaker 1:That happened at my school one time. The coach quit and they had to go there with a uh secondary coach uh to fill in the place and luckily they still won. But it's like y'all can operate and do as y'all please and then they get mad when young black boys now have that same opportunity and that these they running all over y'all white boys and y'all upset. They come in there and taking y'all money, doing what they want and then going to the league and getting more and they just upset.
Speaker 2:It's very hater energy. That's all it is when it comes down to this, they're young, they're athletic, they get more bitches than you, they got more money than you, and now you mad, and that's all that is salty.
Speaker 1:Y'all gotta get that hate out your heart. Let these boys get that money. You know how much and they dicks is bigger than yours.
Speaker 2:What's up with you and this? I don't know.
Speaker 1:This is the second time you done. Said that, said that last week too.
Speaker 2:I just feel like if I was a man.
Speaker 1:That's what you would just say to other men.
Speaker 2:I would be swinging my dick around you'll go to jail for that not literally. Not literally like everything, for with with me would be a dick swinging contest, and hopefully I would be well endowed enough to win.
Speaker 1:I just want to know what somebody put will put trump on the stand and ask him why is it okay to regulate the black, the black boys, uh, but not regulate? Uh. Regulate Elon and what he's doing in Memphis.
Speaker 2:What's Elon doing in Memphis?
Speaker 1:Oh, you haven't heard. Okay, well, let me let you listen to this.
Speaker 8:For a permit for 15 turbines, right If big. If they are given a permit for 15, will they need to come back to you for another permit?
Speaker 12:Yes, a permit for 15. Will they need to come back to you for another permit? Yes, if they are given a permit, we have regulatory authority at that time over xai.
Speaker 8:That means they will only be allowed to operate 15 turbines when they get ready to put in operation all 35 of them, will they need to reapply casey?
Speaker 12:smith, alexander. Deputy director. Yes, they would have to submit an application for a permit. Put in operation all 35 of them. Will they need to reapply? Casey Smith, Alexander. Deputy Director. Yes, they would have to submit an application for a permit to operate the additional turbines that are on that facility.
Speaker 3:33 of these turbines are operating today. We have geothermal imaging that show and confirm 33 of these methane gas turbines are operating right now. That is ridiculous.
Speaker 8:Do we have drones or a way to verify those 35 operational turbines?
Speaker 13:I'm not familiar with the resources available to the Health Department, but I'm happy to check.
Speaker 8:Because if that is the fact and there are 35 operating, they're asking for a permit for 15. I mean, it's just just that's fraud, isn't it? So we need to, we need to get on this in a different way.
Speaker 4:My understanding is that there are turbines that are in operation now and they have not been permitted to do so, and so what is the process? To shut them down until they are permitted?
Speaker 13:I'm going to defer to the health department and their process that's currently open.
Speaker 4:Okay, my understanding is that there should not be any turbines in operation as of today. However, it has been stated on record that there are turbines 33 I believe that are in operation today, and so my question is that we come to the deputy director of the health department Can you confer or refute this number one? Number two what are you doing to shut them down until they have been permitted? And number three can we file an injunction so that they aren't shut down until they are permitted?
Speaker 7:commissioner sugarman. Uh, I know attorney smith is coming up, but I don't see the health department person here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she has no answers and, like I said, this is in a in memphis, tennessee, in a predominantly black neighborhood, and they're putting out these methane turbines, god knows what chemicals is being uh put into the air while they're doing it, and they're doing double the amount they're allowed to have. That's what I'm just saying. Like we, these things have to be talked about and exposed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're right. More than double but I mean, it's just, that's crazy when it comes to like what trump regulates, it's not crazy because that's his man's and of course, like that's not going to be regulated and he's gonna be able to do whatever the fuck he wants. But when it comes to like black boys making money, of course we have to put our foot on their necks because they can't get too successful too young.
Speaker 1:No environmental harm happens when black niggas get money from football. Just so you know.
Speaker 2:Only to young women. Come on, dog, that's fucked up young. Emotionally, environmentally and physically.
Speaker 1:Well, football has, especially college, male smell with cop, and that's the ones without concussions college football is already the ones with concussions that's a whole nother book. It's a lot of them brothers. That's not even another page, that's another accused, though a lot of them brothers was falsely accused and a lot of them, brothers, were rightly accused also too. I got this last clip right here I want to show trump is doing waste and abuse and our girl, jasmine crockett, is on the case so, miss scott scraves, I want to play a game.
Speaker 7:It's called Trump or Trans. You ready, okay? So I'm going to ask you a question and I want you to tell me whether or not it is Trump or trans people that are responsible. You understand, got it Okay, very good. The first one gutted medical research. Trump. Kidnapping Americans and sending them to foreign countries, aka deporting them, trump Driving, sending them to foreign countries aka deporting them, trump, driving us into a recession. Trump. Increasing the cost of everything. Trump. Waging an idiotic tariff war. Trump. Harming farmers. Trump.
Speaker 7:Ignoring the Constitution Trump. Proposing to take away Social. Security. Trump Cutting health care. Trump.
Speaker 7:Firing government workers who keep our country safe. Trump, encouraging an environment of hate and divisiveness. Trump, thank you so much. This committee could be engaged in actual oversight of fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement. So let's talk about waste, like Trump's plan to spend almost $100 million for his little birthday parade. Like Trump's plan to spend almost $100 million for his little birthday parade. Or how he spent 25% of his first 100 days golfing, costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. In fact, it's a little bit over $30 million at our last estimation. In fact, president Trump is on pace to spend more than a billion dollars of taxpayer dollars just on golfing. Yet the Republicans have been silent. So they must think spending taxpayer dollars on the president's golfing. Yet the Republicans have been silent. So they must think spending taxpayer dollars on the president's golfing trips is more important than providing health care to their constituents. And when I talk about constituents, we don't talk about the ones on this committee.
Speaker 2:She be up there killing shit.
Speaker 1:But a billion dollars on pace to spend a billion dollars on golf trips, that's insane.
Speaker 2:My question is oh, it's probably like secret service and stuff like that, that's around it because he's paying for his own like memberships and shit.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's probably if he's at his golf course, he's not paying on membership yeah but the transportation of him, everybody that's with him and all the other stuff, yeah, like the security measures that have to be taken, like yeah, that's billions, millions of dollars to do yeah like it's it costs. I remember joe rogan was talking about when he did uh andrew schultz podcast, how much money it costs for him just to move around. So I can only imagine if you add the president of the united states no, uh.
Speaker 1:Joe rogan said okay, how much it costs for him to move around to just to do the interview with somebody else because of how much stuff he has to bring with him. But no, it's just, it's insane out here man. I just wanted to put that frame of mind. Let y'all know what's going on out here.
Speaker 2:Did you know that the first family has to pay for, like their own groceries and travel and everything when they're in the White House? I didn't know that. I just assumed that, like taxpayer dollars were paying for their groceries and stuff, but like michelle obama had to like pay for her own grapes, that's that's why I just think that's a little crazy.
Speaker 1:That's why trump does a little flex where he's like, oh I, I don't need, I don't need the salary I'm gonna donate it but the salary isn't that much, though that's four in a k, technically you're considered a one percenter or close, yeah, but, like in my head, I just think that it would be more for some reason.
Speaker 2:Well, you're a lady.
Speaker 1:So you got crazy numbers.
Speaker 5:You would think it'd be oh, he's got to be a billionaire.
Speaker 2:He's the president I didn't say billionaire.
Speaker 10:That's a wild amount of money like, because I feel like every relationship shouldn't be based off sex, but every relationship is based off of that. I don't think so. 100. You can't tell me nothing different. This is what I feel and that's why I'll never be in another relationship, because it's always based off of that so you're not going to be in another relationship?
Speaker 7:no, for what?
Speaker 10:because it's going to be based off the sex. Once that wear down, you're going to go find somebody else that's better. Yeah, it ain't going to be based off of. Listen carefully Listen carefully. Relationships. Let me tell you what marriage is all about. Let me tell you what marriage is and who's marriage for. Marriage is for old people and poor people.
Speaker 7:Okay, so let's get into that why.
Speaker 10:Because when you broke our parents like my moms and all them they married on a merit of like. Okay, we're going to put our incomes together, have all these kids and then, when our kids, we're going to have five, ten kids back in the 60s, all of them, they're going to have five, ten kids so they can work and bring income. Yeah.
Speaker 10:So you poor, so you married for that. And now when you get old? So you married for that. And now when you get old, somebody got to be by your side to take care of you. Right now, my mom got married. My mom never been married in my lifetime. She got married when she was 70. Wow, it was perfect. She had somebody by her side the whole way through. Wouldn't it be in your lifetime?
Speaker 1:I do. I think he had a point, though a little bit like I think we have this idea like being poor and having this like, is this like extreme poverty or whatever? When he's describing that, I think when they say being poor, I think he's just saying like well, my opinion of it would be it's not. If you're somebody who has individual desires and grandeur, like if you discuss yourself and identify yourself in the first thing is is like your job or the amount of money you have or the things that you have. I think that marriage is probably going to be somebody that's for you.
Speaker 1:And I think when you get to a lot of high ambition, high risk, high reward kind of fields, you aren't really the kind of person who can have a partner, because you have to accommodate, you have to acquiesce, you have to do certain things that if I'm a winner, I'm not going to do that like I'm a winner. I don't have to do that for no one. Winners don't have to acquiesce for anybody winner people acquiesce for the winners and I think when you have that mindset, which I think we're socialized heavily to have, I think that's why I I guess I I see a lot of people would agree with this. What do you think?
Speaker 2:I agree with him, I if, um, I don't, I'm not surprised that he has that, that, that opinion, because he is an older, rich nigga.
Speaker 1:A former NBA player.
Speaker 2:Yeah, in marriage it's a financial institution, it's, it's. It's like bringing two, two houses together, two families together, to try to make something bigger and better than like what you separately came from.
Speaker 1:so, yeah, 100 so if you're a high successful person, like a highly successful person or a high earner, do you think that marriage is something that you shouldn't aspire for, or do you think it would be a waste of your time in the long run?
Speaker 2:it depends on what your goals are as far as like power and finances and stuff. If you're um someone who is like in business and you want to marry somebody else who is of your same ilk and like in another in the same field and merge things together, then cool, then it makes sense. But if you're super duper rich, then merging you into my life is not gonna bump me up. It's gonna bump you up but it's not gonna do nothing for me. So like, uh, I get it. Like why would I get married?
Speaker 1:no, I think a lot of people was giving them hate for it. I think they went too literal. Like you gotta understand, this is a basketball player, he's not fucking smart. Nigga went to Kansas just to fucking hoop, wasn't reading shit. I think when you kind of got to just kind of do a little bit of critical thinking to help him.
Speaker 1:And I think when people say poor, they think of people who don't have ambition, they say people who don't have drive.
Speaker 1:Because if you listen to all these guys, they always talk about mindsets and I think that's more so a better way to express it, because if you have a mindset, of personal ambition, there's really little room for you to be a partner with somebody, because your goal is your goal. If it's to get to a certain part of money and this person's holding you back because they want whatever, like you're gonna, you're gonna get rid of that person regardless because they are a hindrance to the goal. If most people who don't have like that kind of high ambition uh, part of them are people who would, I would, I think would be better partners because they're more. Let's get a plan, let's get a goal and let's try to do something attainable, and it doesn't have to require high risk and high reward, because that's not gonna be something they would want yeah, and then when you're older, like you're more settled down, you want somebody to just spend your time with, someone that you just enjoy being around.
Speaker 2:So, of course, like you don't want to be old and lonely with nobody, like if you, what, if you fall?
Speaker 1:I think it does speak to this like how we view each other as humans, though, and how we kind of take that kind of experience for granted, because I can see where it's like. Yeah, I understand where it is logistically from it, and that's why I kind of I explain certain ideas from that sentiment. I explain certain ideas from that sentiment because how can you tell somebody who's in this, in this special privileged position, not to act? You know, act on it, so, but it does say something to our human condition, because, at the end of the day, we you can't act like people, don't strive to live a life similar to his. If people could say, hey, you kill this random person on the street or do something negative to somebody and we'll give you this person's life, they're going to take it nine times out of 10.
Speaker 1:And that comes from like a while we don't really value people anymore, and I think that I think that's really what's the under it, where, if you really break down, what he's saying is, we don't value each other. Why would I need to value you outside of sex? Because that's what he's talking about. Outside of sex, what I need another person for, because I can create the reality I want because I have the capital and I just think we, just we, just we. We make individuals a worthless thing like we.
Speaker 1:We devalue each other when we have that kind of thought process yeah, I don't think people ever think of it like that, though, because they just want the outcome. You want to be able to pay or live that they're alive, do the vacations you want to do, flex on the people you want to flex on, but you don't think about what that does and your mindset towards your fellow man. So I think that's what the disheartening part of what he says comes when people try to rebut what he said or debunk what he's saying. But it's just a true thing. Unfortunately, does that mean we broke Because we married?
Speaker 2:Apparently Because we not old. So, according to Paul Pierce, we broke, we just broke.
Speaker 1:Oh damn, we didn't talk about Kamala being at the Met Gala man.
Speaker 2:I don't have anything else in me left. We need to wrap this up that sucks unless you just want to leave the camera on you talk about it.
Speaker 1:I forgot, I cut, I deleted my notes because I had to update my phone. So now my notes is gone, I don't have my expression anymore. I'm going to make up a new one. Everyone's getting tired, we out man.
