Jay-Z Returns to Beef With Drake, Plus Trump’s Failed Concert Series — Jun 2, 2026 — starts at 0:00
Yo yo yo, Th thought warriors, What is up H learning is on. it is I Van Layon coming in from Los Angeles, California And it is me, Rachel Ly Lindsey You gotta tell people where you are. I know Washington DC. In Washington, DC, you're in our nation's capital. Do you feel patriotic You dont tred. Did you did you go did you go to the mall? I came in on the red eye. So he came in the re this morning. So you came into DC, but yet you thought that it was okay not to go say hello to doctor King or Abraham Lincoln That's correct. So you didn't go say hello That'srect. You don't care about them. No, I've said hello. I've said hello before. But you didn't feel to say hello this time No, I think Dr. King will want me to get my rest That's not what he you want That's fan Van. now who's who's being disrespectful now What? What's disrespect now? That's not comeome on. keep C on, comeome on. comeome on. come on. Jonnny, that was a good one Donny, Donnie I laughed. It was good. Thank you. laughed. One that was onene point for Van. One onene point because you you think Donnie doesn't support you. That's one for Van. Thank you, Donny. That was a good one. You got it Keep coming Donnie, be careful now Okay. So Doty said it's your fault You aren't always funny. You don't always laugh Doty Very true. I think we all know that. So let's check it on the WNBA real quick Uh the Minnesota Links because we haven't talk about WNBA yet. The Minnesota Links are leading the WNBA at six and two. The Indiana fever are four and four. Yeah, you see the viral clip that's going around? Yeah, saw it F four, how's Caitlyn doing What are her stats? So, you know, Kaalin is Okay, so we can look at the stats here Uh, she had a bad game last game There's no way to argue that Caitlin Clark is not having a successful season U She's averaging, I'm looking at it right now. She's averaging twenty points, eight assists rebounds and one point three steals a g She's shooting thirty nine percent from the field She's shooting thirty three percent from the three. So her shooting statistics are terrible No one really seems to know like why she can't put the ball in the basket anymore. But also they're picking on her on defense is the thing. Now listen, here's the deal You said some time ago that you feel like you could beat her in a game of one on one I did not say I could beat her. Let's get it right. I said I could hold her to fifteen in a whole game. Yeah, Van, that's what I said. I didn't say I could beat her now The quest I might I might I might not score any points. Well, like, hold on for a secondc. I' say I could beatater The question is now not whether or not you could hold her. The question now is how many are you going to school? Be at this point she a con turnstyle. She's like giving up the fucking buck is left and right teams are targeting Caitln Clark And then they're using the fact that she can't defend to get her out of her game and her rhythm offensively, and that's been very successful for opponents of the fever So what you're saying is you think I have a chance. Now I do Okay Well, I think you have a chance to get off in your ass Are you nuts? She's going for one hundred. Are you crazy? I think you have a chance. hundred. She going for hundred. man. If you are the primary defender on Caitlin Clark, it's food. This primary defender. You know what? I'm not even going to push back on this because I' be getting on you when you talk about your basketball skills without ever seeing anything that you've ever done vice same thing with you with me. so I not say anything I anything. I can't. So you came in on the Red eye. you're there to do. why don't you tell people what you're there in DC for, you know Man, the Red Eye is Awful Like the Red Eye is awful. When I tell you And I'm a person who can function on very little sleep, but there is something about the red eye and then you try to go to sleep with the sun up. It just doesn't work It doesn't work. But I'm here to do an interview On behalf of higher learening, we're going to do it together. And I'm here for the trending U confonference, which I'm very excited about to meet some of my favorite influencers, creators, content creators in the pololitical social awareness space. Interesting. Cultural awareness space. Okay, so you're in DC you're having a great time. Yeah I mean, I'm here to work. I'll be gone tomorrow You're out, you know', you don knowt fuck around in DC when you go there U I'd like to fuff around a little bit. I might do some like happy hours and stuff. Hang out with Molly There was this um yearsars ago, I went to DC And there's a strip club in DC because the stadium is gone. So there's a Yeah, I've been to stadium before Stay That's my home town. But there's arip club in DC called the House. Okay, Bernard. 's the dark. Yeah, don't forget to get that mumbo sauce and chicken. out there. Yeah justust say the most generic regular shit about DC is like, come down to Louisiana, get yourself some gumbo Bumble saauce is now Original that thing. I know, I know Mumbo sauce is great, right So There was there's a strip club in DC, I think it's called the House. or my house or something like that. house. It's called the house or something. So Years ago I was thinking about going there And I was like, wa Before I go here, Is this type of place that you can go and have a good time? Or is this the type of place where I'm gonna need to bring like The Hawk and the civic. You know what I'm saying? Like youre gonna need to If you go to this bitch and I'll put that on Twitter And people was like No, man, you going to hit the haaw in the civic at that bitch. Now I never I don't know that for sure. It's on Georgia Avenue. It's on Georgia Avenue. I don't know that for sure because like you go on there And it looks like people having a great time in that motherfucker pllus. That's the kind of places that I like to go You we talk about playlayhouse Miami gardens in Miami. that's kind of places I like to go, but I still have never ventured into there. Do you think that you might be going to the house while you're there, Rachel And we'll see where I end up. You never know with me H up. I have one more thing to say before I'll report back if I go. I have one more thing to say before I get into the show I just want to say something and maybe you're not going to agree with this Do you know whose music is aging really well to me Kid Ink Oh I'm not I'm not as I'm not tapped into kidding. so. Now do you know why You might not be tapped into kiddingk Why because You weren't in LA in the twenty ten s Okay, makes sense So Kid Ink was everywhere. He was huge But for some reason, When you heard that music because Muser was on a lot of that shit And that's just a very distinct sound, right? And that sound just reminds you of fun having fun. and in twenty fifteen. I'm in twenty sixteen. Fuck you have you came with It's my m. I told her fuck that nigger That was the alet from Kideni comes in and he goes, I told the fuck that nigga And then you used to be in Ser club or Grystone or something. and then he would say that and then you would say that He was saying I tolda fuck that nigga. And then you would say that as Kid Ink said that with Chris Brown on the track, you would say, I told a fuck that nigger And you were having fun You were having fun in Emerson Bro You were having fun at all of these different places and now that era is totally gone. It's like that era is going O the shit and I shouldn't be in that bitch anyway and that's very true. But that that era is gone. that era of L.A that was in the twenty ten s, I can't tell you How like Beauty and Esx Day partarty was like the last shred of it. I can't tell you how much fun It was twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. I didn't do it all the time because TMZ had me hemmed up. Whenever I did do it. We was just having a fucking ball that nigga and maine chit came on thought about that Eera, ' that's what that made me think about That's what that music makes me think about. and it was just very fun a very fun time. So it's aging well because You're missing it Well, thisist in that you could say that, but it's also aging well just because the song came on and I had I was having fun. I was walking around a neighborhood Ely in the morning because I take like an early morning walk People are like getting out of the way when I'm walking down the sidewalk becauseuse I'm saying I tot a fuck that nigga and they They're like, what is this guy? Be people are really afraid The White people are super duper afraid when they're on their runs and stuff in the early morning. because it's only light peopleople are on the streets in early morning like I'm talking about like six thirty is only me and the people that are running And then You know, some of our neighbors that need a little help So they never know. what you are.. So they're not sure Even though you got your haircut and you got a phone and you got this, they're still scared. Like You have Boseesman with you? No, no, no, no Boseman. Boldman is still sleep at this time. Boldsman doesn't get up ear. Boseman doesn't around around like that You try to get Boseman up too early. He turns around. he goes. Like Boseman' not getting up before eight o'clock. anyyway U do what before? I told you, we're gonna bring it back. We're gonna bring it back. You are craving I'd never experienced this LA, which I would have loved to. But you're craving this kind of good time. And I told you Everyday people E two weeks. I need you to go ahead and buy this table. Um I hope that everyday people will help me. numb' just joking. Now I'll buy the table. What is it about two thousand It can't be more than two thousand. It was less than that last time. How much was the table at everyveryday people? It's like fourteen hundred, I think. That's good. Um, so I will buy the table. we will have fun it everyday, people Do you think that kid ink will be played I do because it's very LA I think you will. I don't know if they're going play that nigga at that bitch I don't remember I had such a good time last time. I don't even remember who I don't remember who was playing. It was just vibes. You loved it I loved it I loved it. What'd you do this weekend Um, so I wasn't feeling well So I mostly stayed in the house on and played major league baseball twenty six to the show uh, the Dodgers in this game. they're ninety two and ten I have three pitchers that are battling out. for the Sing Max Mcecy is leading the league in home runs. He's got forty seven home runs and one hundred RBIs at the midway point I'm the man at that mother fuck What about you? Nice I went to a party Tw You know, be allied to my Filipino brothers and sisters called Filipino Forces Fiesta It's the fourth time they've done it Is it a wheelhouse? It was great. What did you say? What are you doing What do you mean Where are you laughing? then I'm like wa wait a second. It's like that's not funny. went T the Filipino. Wh why you li the part? That's what it was called. Filipino horses Fiesta And it was just celebrating Filipinos in LA. the culture, they had a dinner before. a wheelhouse, they had a party. It was great It was great. so a lot of people hadn't seen it in a long time. a lot of Filipino people A lot of Filipin people haven't seen a long time. yeah. So you're deep into the Filipino community I mean, I Support Yeah. I mean, I wouldon't say I'm deep, but I like support. One of my friends was one of the hosts and was throwing it and asked if I would come and And I was like, yeah, and then I walked in I was like, oh, wow, this is really fun. So made a whole night of it Is it in the game night And then I went to see, I love boosters this weekend too. It was good. I enjoyed it Whose do it is? Yeah, it was really good Then of course, watch game seven and made homemade wingstop and fries did a pretty good job of that And yeah, I was just chilling Let's go back to the Filipinos real quick So I'm wondering something. So back in the day Ryan. You know, Ri Boys. So we're going gonna p put a picture of my friend Ryan up right now so you guys can see him There used to be peno basketball tournament that happened in Baton Rouge Oh, big population out there Well, I'm not sure. But they had a tournament. so it was enough mother fuckers for them to have a tournament. This iss why I first learned the hidden secret about Filipino people, which is that they are really good athletes They're just small But they are really good athletes When you think about And then I was talking to a Filipino brother 'use I just went there to watch. I talked to a Filipino brother and he' was like, yeah, yeah, we get busy I was like, look at all it is on to court 'cause my man Allen Lee Dle, they were both half Filipino And so you could be on the team if you were half Filipino But then you could have, I think two people on the team be non Filipinos And it would be funny because You would have a whole team of Filipino guys and then Two like six, five niggas. that they would have to run the post for him. and those you could have two non Filipinos. Now think about Ryan. Okay, okay is that Ryan on the team. as a fake Filipino No He would putut the picture back up of Ryan. Put the picture back over. Put the picture up of Ryan. Ryan was on the team as a fake Filipino. Ryan does not look He was who thought he was Filipino? He was he was cause Allen Lee Dale could play because they're half Filipino So they said that Ryan was half Filipino. They're half Filipinos that exist in Baton Rouge. We have them. And so they put Ryan on the team. They said that Ryan was half Filipino And the people wentin for it because of Ryan's look. Now we can look at Ryan right now. and ask people if they think that he could pass for half Filipino. I personally think that he could So that gave Ryan's team an incredible advantage becausecause they were able to have him, he's by six three. Crazy athlete. Is see thatel Six, three, six two, whatever. he's That nigg was way above a rim though. hatet on my niggget. That niggle way above a rim So He was able to be on their team. as a half as a half Filipino and then they also could bring in two other like regular non Filipinos to add to their tournament team And they went deep and they won that pitch You always have a story, a random ass story. That is not what I thought you were going to talk about You got the most rid of stories. Please write a book of stories I mean, it's endless Man It' Edess There was one Filipino Nigga I never forget. S because he had Because there's a Filipino word That's like a slur They were who Well, there's a Filipino word I don't want to say the word, but it's a slur, but they call it's like they say it to each other Like almost like they got like a little in word of their own This is what they say. Okay And he had that tattooed on him And I asked him, I'm like, what is that? And he was like, what, that's a bad word for Filipinos by tating on myself because You know, it's kind of like the same thing. It's like yeah, I'm like, don't say it, though just we can be on the same thing boy this little motherfucker was getting buuckers boy. wholeo assh shit fucking over everyone. is us boom, boom, boom. and he had Texas I wanted to state. on his ankle In the middle was this word That's like a bad word for Filipinos because he was like claiming it. And I was fucking with him Giving Ryan Hell out there R I was having trouble standing front of this guy Okay I the guysy' out getting busy, o They' don't to get mad at us they're gonna be like, y'all talk for thirty minutes about. Let's go. Let's go.. I'm sorry, guys. No, no, no, no, I got you I got you activated talking about is you would say You would say something that you went to like a party like this 'cause I feel like you just do something random. I guess I do random stuff too, but it was so great. It was actually really wonderful. So just before we get off this, what do they do there Like what like what was just a party? Okay It was just celebrating the culture. L we got parties to celebrate the culture. And, you know, I mean, most everybody there was Filipino I think there might have I think I saw four black people. myself included I bet there was all men too four black. those was all guys. All what? I bet there was all guys up there trying to No, no, no Tw girl, two other girls. because they because We can really go but I don't know. peoplee don't know this on the low. People in Filipinos have like a U yeah, we were talking about that. both men Actually we were talking bothoth ways. like men to the ladies And then ladies to the men, there's a Niggas beyond the That's probably that's and they don't want people to talk about it. I don't think. because you've never seen like a movie that's like a black Filipino love story or Like my Filipino home, like you don't see it, but like when you see a lot, it's like black people and Filipino people coming together Um I want to get but I want to get invited to a party of a ethnic group Somebody invite me to Let's get to the root of this, jealousy.

He headlined the Roots picnic in Philadelphia endnding a six year hiatus from appearing on stage in a solo capacity the set F featured a four minute freestyle aimed at Kanye West, Drake, Nikki Minaj Dam Dh and Jaguar Wright Y thumbs with your thumbs again.

Risk it flooded again My net wororth went up again ext update, the cheick us up. N Im up to Brong Chart Ch. you gott to look up again K. Nickas look. I never looked up to them ubishing gangs that don go't talk tough to them. Don't talk ses to me, Nigg as workers. in perpetuities how your contract is worded. I make it go for man B Pak Nick, JayZ to throw out The ruler has returned It seems as if Jay is going to reassert himself on the entire culture He can kind of slip in and out of his throw whenever he wants. Um, just because he takes up that much cultural space. what do you think I enjoyed it I I mean, obviously we know he's got the Yankee Stadium tour coming up Um, Not Tour, but the Yankee Stadium shows with the blueprint. and reasonable doubt. And then I think the third night is kind of a free for all But I like it because it gets people excited. It's got people talking. You We were just having a conversation on this podcast about hip hop not being fun. This is fun to me I mean, you't you aren't having fun with it anymore, you say, but I watch this and I thought this was fun. Everybody's dissecting it. He came out with a new look You know, is this he reunited with people on stage. He takes shots at people, even though he said he wasn't, which is what or he kind of talks about rat beef and being kind of past it in twenty twenty six and that GQ interview. And then it kind of makes people curious and wonder, well, what is he going to do with with the Yankee stadium shows that we know is a three day show coming up. I like this kind of stuff Um Yeah, like I think it's it's exciting. It's I think it's good for hip hop What do you think? So you know Seeing seeing Jay on stage with freeway in Be is just crazy. The whole history of that. and knowing that there was some space between I don't know necessarily him in Freeway, but certainly between him and Banie for a while. and just This like I know that people go these separate ways and that's the way that it is. M My vision for Back men is always the way I would see my daddy and my uncle Craig You know, I'll see my daddy and my uncle Craig fight I don't remember no time when They was in their fifties or their early sixties where daddy was like, fuck cing. So they always ups and downs. there was business stuff because they had a business together or it wasn't necessarily a business together. We had a family business pouring concrete I always like to see these brothers maintain these relationships or fix these relationships older in life. I think that's dope So that to me was the most meaningful part of it, seeing them all on stage together doing these classic records And knowing that that type of shit is what establishes hip hop legacy Groups legacy. Ryan's You know You don't get no Rolling Stone tour at sixty five or seventy if the Rolling Stones break up in their forties. And if they do break up in their forties, then the Rolling Stones got to get back together and that makes it more meaningful and all of that stuff. So when people talk about the aging of hip hop Sometimes I hope that hip hop ages out. of some of the pettiness that ends up happening between the brothers and it might be petty and not pet. I'm not in the middle of fucking. How do I know Now I'm going to contradict myself in what I say next because I think the idea of a back and forth between JayZ and Drake is absolutely scintillating. and I wonder what happens next from the other side. I haven't been more interested. think there's going to be a back and forth. I think the idea of it is scintillating. I haven't been more interested in what would happen If two guys tussle that I am Lyrically, of course, lyrically between JayZ and Drake. I haven't been this interested in something in a long time if in fact, it was to go down This is more interesting to you than Kendrick and Drake So now, If you'd have asked me then, Everybody wanted to see Kendrick and Drake Tusle, right Everybody wanted to see what would happen when that happened I think now though, thinking about it This one to me would be more meaningful in a way and it would also be more definitive for each guy. For Drake, depending on how it goes Drake can't suffer another twenty twenty four This can. He can'. this I mean, I'm sure people will still buy his music, but just for his sake I don't It's not great I'm more I'm interested in the back and the forth. I agree with you. but I think what I also like is When Jay announced that he was doing the shows at Yankee Stadium, I immediately was like Oh wow, this is really interesting notot just because I'm a fan of the albums just because it feels like he's establishing his presence again after a period of time when it feels like the narrative has shifted around him and N that he's lost his place in hip hop, just the way we talked about J Z was different, right? You had the ddy accusations you have Jaguar writes you know, making the exact accusations. you have even if I take it back ten years You've got lemonade and the infidelity implications as well. And I feel like Jay Z pretty much has stayed silent and hasn't really talked about anything. I mean, obviously he did through his attorney and some remarks with about the Dy allegations and then we saw the GQ interview, which was more than we had gotten from him, but now to see him on stage and addressing these things artistically, creatively, lyrically Feels nostalgic in a bit, not that he was talking about the same things before, but just the way that he is asserting himself again is exciting to me as somebody who know, is JZ Fin So I like I like him coming back I like I do. it's fun. And even though I knew he was performing at the picnic, I guess I don't know what I thought we were going to get, but I didn't think he was going to be all of this. Yeah He went crazy. I don't I think that the infidelity lemonade stuff was pretty much They pretty much tied a ball on that with the Carters album, right? They're out there together. they're talking about it. They're a family. they're doing. I'm not trying to hit anything nig to talk about it. But it' still No no, no, no, I don't think he's going to talk about it. I'm just saying the way we looked at J Z. like it's yeah, they did the Carters, but it's still like a thing of, you know, the elevator scene and, you know, it happened. It's still a thing B Yeah. I'm not saying it's an overriding thing when I see him, but it's like a thought. Like I think about it Think about it Yeah It's not the overriding narrative. I'm just saying all these things that happen. Yeah, of course they've done stuff together, but To me, I don't know, I just feel like he's establishing his presidence and the narrative is shifting I can see that. I mean he's going to. To me, I don't think about that at all but I could see From the super bad, you know, people don't forget type D. I just remember what it was like in the office when that video came in I did not believe people It was what It like if it's like I just remember I remember I remember specific times in the office where people where even the people and The office was shocked about stuff Rember Don Did youall release the video? huh? First first So I just remember people in office being like, yo what Like what Like huh And it wasn't, you got to move so fucking fast that you don't really have time to like get into that too much. But I just remember the rest of the people that was that weren't invved directly in the story going I'm watching the video. I'm like, yo, what the fuck? And that's the point you can't do this. That's the point to where if you had less discipline, you would want to text everybody, you know, like I'm watching a video of Soalange slap the shit out of Jay Z right now And like for real, but you can't, you know, you can't do that. I did it a couple of times, but you can't but but you can't do that. I think for me the thing about Um the other one by the way, was the Donald Sterlt thing somebody had told me that we have a video of Don Sterlland telling his girlfriend not to invite Magic Johnson to basketball games because Magic Johnson is black and I was like Bullshit. When I get into the office, I got to hear that for myself No, seriously, I'm calling you because you need to get to the office faster because we need angles and we gott to do. I just couldn't believe it. And then I list to listened to the audio and it's like Someone saying don't bring Magic Johnson to the gamees because he's black. I'm like it's fucking Magic Johnson's crazy to me. Its What were your years at TMZ again? twenty eleven to twenty nineteen Wow. So like there was just I'm just thinking about all the stuff right came th JayZ, Donald Sterling Prince is passing away. like Whitney Houston. Whitney Houston It was legitimately, legitimately the heyday. Now TMZ had done They had done Kramer, they had done Michael Jackson, which is C on, that's the bigest story in hory of celebrity news. They had done a lot of stuff and They had they were a well oil machine tour guy when I got to TMZ, right U, but those stories breakaking. someome of them like in successive years, you look around, there's a cluster of stories that all were happening at the same tim. JZ is Ray Rice, It's it's Donald Sterling. I mean, TMZ is actually like point a really important investigative entity. You could argue that that point Harvey Levin was the best investigated reporter in the country in terms of, especially and Evan as well, Evan Rosenblum as well like Mike Walters, all of those guys. I don't have to get into a whole fucking Goddamn Dick suck about that, but they was there was only thing. This's the reason why I feel like the J Z and Drake situation is likeike really interesting. So in basketball What's the legacy argument that is had right now? In basketball, like the legacy Wh who's the greatest? Yeah, well who are the two guys in that argent? Jordan and LeBron. Exactly. Okaykay. Now here's the thing about Jordan and LeBron There is no way actually to have Jordan LeBron settle that. from a basketball perspective When Jordan and LeBron are put up against each other a narrative argument and an agenda argument because it's difficult For somebody who came along later to look at LeBron James and his statistical dominance of basketball and not see LeBron James as the best of all time. He's going to finish with all of these records He's going to finish with championships He's going to finish playing the game going out completely on his terms at forty one and all of this stuff doing stuff that Michael never did But at the same time, Jordan's Pt. He was something otherworldly not just his ability on the basketball court, but his cultural dominance of not just basketball but of sport period. It really pales in comparison to anyone else Like Michael Jordan was something special, something that was so special that you wonder if anyone can get to that point in that pinnacle ever again On a basketball level, there's no way for those guys actually fight that out In this particular situation, there actually is If J Z is Michael Jordan And Drake is LeBron then hip hop actually has a mechanism to where those guys can go bar for bar. U wit for wit. Sale for sale, influence for influence in the present day and establish a winner So you have two different legacies. Drake has lasted long enough to still be at the top of his game right now. JZ has Dored long enough everyone to still believe right now that he could outrab Drake There are people right now that believe that Jay Z could outwrap Drake in perpetuity that he will always be able to outrap him. Don't matter if he's seventy five, eighty, give him a beat. he going to start fucking people up, right The question is, is that true With Drake and everything that he feels if Drake believes and I I'm led by some people to believe that Drake kind of believes that there's an underlying Rock nation agenda against him And if he's going back and forth with Hove, the first person to go super nuclear with that and actually say I'm fucking with you invites this thing and now hip hop has A Jordan and LeBron argument actually can be settle in present day with two people who we both view powerful and equal adversaries. doeses Drake see that about himself? What you mean Like does he think that he's the greatest and then therefore wants to establish his presence or his legacy against against J Z So let me call Jrake real quick that. Now I don't have no fucking idea. why I don't see it I love the comparison of Jordan LeBron I love it. And and I thought I was like leaned in listening to you. I follow it. and you're so right. It's something that can be done enwrapped is something that can't be done in basketball I agree with everything except for the sales thing because I just don't know, like at the same time it's generational. you know, Drake is right now. It's not like JZ I'm saying is of the past, but it' just more of like a respect, a legacy thing. I don't know if JayZ's even coming out with the album or anything Um I actually don't think this is going to be a back and forth. So I'm interesting I'm interested to see where this goes. I think Drake did his thing on U Ice manan Jay did his thing on the stage here. I think that there'll probably be something at the July show, but I think that that's where it ends. I actually don't see this being a whole thing. but You know, I'd like to be proven wrong because I'd like to feel the same excitement we felt a couple of years ago When it came to the back and forth with the rap beef, but I don't know. I don't see it. question really quickly before we get out of this and we probably spend too long on it, but what do you think about people who say that they feel like mayaybe there's a little hypocrisy in what what Drake did based on his GQ interview. What Jay Z did where he's like Yes, sorry, sorry. what JZ did in his Jay Z interview. Do you think that now the GQ interview was strategic because he talks about like not being on defense anymore and playing offense Do you think that But he also said, we can't make it personal. We can't talk about kids. He did that When he was on stage, like, what do you what do you? what's your takeaway of it? I feel like great mainstream rappers The trick is being so compelling We understand and endorse their hypocrisy. Great mainstream rappers. I'm not talking about guys like that we realize that a cld aren't hypocrites at all or hpoc the hypocrisy isn't as because they lead lifestyles that don't call their raps into question that much. You know what I'm saying? If you saw I don't know some of these guys that are the pro black more conscious rappers if you, you know, saw them at a Trump rally, maybe, but like they sometimes lead lives that O I guess small enough, culturally small enough. They're not big enough for them to like have to answer some of these questions. So If it's a huge mainstream rapper, the question always is How do they make us through their talent buy their hypocrisy because that's what it is that they do, right? They get on the record and they make one record about How much we gotta love and respect women and the next record is, yo bitch, take it out your mouth. squirting on your girl. squirting it all over the mother the fucking world. I'm squirting on you bitches, squirting on you bitches, squirting on you squirting on you squirting on you bitches. And then the next song, the next song is Damn I love my mama. So so this is this has always been What these guys were. There's nothing special about JZ in terms of that, right I also think to a degree. There was always an acceptance at least for me about how that was because that's to me how people are Like some of the raps represent best of yourself, some of the raps represent the worst of yourself. JayZ coming out saying I think we passed Balon was was hypocritical then because he battled his whole career As an older guy, I tell younger guys like what not to do And they go, there, we know you And I go, Hey, man, I'm just telling you I've been there. I'm not telling you that I was better than you. I'm just telling you I've been there So you have to listen or whatever. So I'm not really tripping on that as much What I do think though is that Drake does view himself like LeBron James, meaneaning, when Drake leaves rap It would be silly for Drake not to think he's the greatest rapper of all time it would be silly for him not to think he's the greatest rapper of all time. His career, he is the rap Lebron more than anyone because LeBron's career is essentially All of these records and accolades and this sustained dominance over all of this time Th Huge Unavoidable failures in key moments. And with Drake, you have Pusha T, you have Kendrick, you even have the Ges Rider shit You have all of that stuff that really is going to not be remembered. As much as the fact that he just sold and maintain this type of statistical dominance over this entire period like very few people are going to be able to get to That's just the way it is. So for him not to think he was the man after all of this time, he'd have to be crazy not to think he's the greatest rapper of all time The numbers to him are telling him every single day that nobody has liked any rapper ever as much as they have liked Drake So that up against JZ, who is essentially this Michael Jordan character to wear Jay Z had all of his stuff. It's weird because Jay Z actually might be the LeBron if you compare him to two Pac and Biggie, but like JayZ, who represents this monocultural rap god Everybody wanted to be like everybody emulated, who could sell you anything, who could go any placeace wasn't perfect, but was always devastating That will be interesting U but they might not. it might be too high leverage for both of those guys. They might be like What the fuck is the point I guess last thing I'll ask you is If they do do it Who do you think will win I want everybody to if they do, you think Jay Z wins I think JayZ wins You think JZ wins? you think JZ wins? you think J Z beats Drake hands? Lyically? Yeah. Lyrically, but I'm just talking about a beef is about more than that now. A beef is now about like the narrative and all of that stuff. If JayZ and Drake go here I just think We've seen we've seen Drake, I mean, obviously we've seen Jay Z Beef too, but I think it's Jay. I do. Bernard. N not off sure you're going to say JZ Yeah, he's lyrical, lyrical genius. Donny I don't know. I think with I agree, I'm more of a J Z fan, but I think with You're saying that beefs are more than just lyrics now. It's the whole narrative situation I don't know. I feel like I wouldn't discount Drake so easily. Hm, I wouldn't either I'm not discounting him. I just think I didn't say he's not he's just gonna blow him away. I just think is Jay at the end of the day. I mean Jay. Jay has the one big loss to Nise, but I mean, That's like rombing against Moses. I mean, like you' say like you if you go beat Nz like if you go beat Nz at lyrics, you got to. I mean, that was and that was a pretty t for tab battle That's two gods,'s Mon Olympic shit, but we'll see what happens. But that gu that kind of I was like, wow All the rest of the stuff I mean He's talking about a lot of people who at this point are just like not at the same level. I mean, that's just him kind of just like taking a ruler and smacking people with it, you know U That's a lot. JZ, man, JZs, it' a big fucking deal.'s a big fucking de U onny was Nicks. Let's stick to music kind of. Trump on Saturday called for the cancellation. of the concert celebrating America's two hundred fiftieth birthday after multiple artists withdrew from performing the upcoming Great American State Fair on the National Mall Shortly after the lineup was announced More stay in the time, young MC Martina McBride, the Commodoreors, and Bret Michaels each announced that they were declining to participate, saying they were not let known that it was a political event Vanilla Ice and Milla Vanilli are still on for the june twenty sixth event as his Flow Rida for the event on july second. Now Trump's response to this was that There should be a giant Make America G again rally for two hundred fifty instead of having overpriced singers who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring and yet who do nothing but complain. He also called himself the number one attraction anywhere in the world and says that he gets more or he gets much larger audiences than Elvis did in his prime So Rachel, I want to ask you a question about this. You laughed You think this is funny, you think it's funny. It's funny. This brings me joy Not a very angry last podcast So when it came to topics, I thought Cash, what's something that's gonna to make me smile Now not everything we're going to talk about is gonna make me smile today, but like JayZ is back. That makes me smile The fact that there's this again, here we are, two hundred fiftieth you know, supposed to be celebrating America, but we know it's really about celebrating Trump and people are saying Nah, I'd rather not brings me joy. Whenever it is a blow to Trump's ego That makes me laugh. When he starts throwing a temper tantrum because people don't like him and resorts to saying things like, they're boring. I'm the greatest talent. anyyway. I'm better than Elvis, which I did not hear that part. This makes me this This puts a pepp in my step. like inject this into my veins. like I like this. This is my morning coffee. The fact that All these I remember when this was announced, I was like, wow, I'm shocked. someome of these people are willing to be a part of this because even though it was What is it? what was it billed at It was billed as u I don't know, Basically they were celebrating in America, a concert on the National Mall, but and that it was bipartisan. All these people are coming out saying we were told it was bipartisan. The fact that the administration had to lie to performers to get them to even be a part of this says a lot. Nobody wants to publicly Right? Obviouslyriv privately they do because he's in office. Nobody publicly wants to align themselves with Trump I think that's funny. Trump thought he was doing something big, two hundred and fifteth. D It's on the National Mall, sixteen day celebration, E even thoughre you're not even bringing acts that are you know current, it still was like he really thought he was doing something. And then one by one, they all were like, Nah, we were kind of lied to about this. And then you still have a Millie vanillia part of it, Vanilla Ice and Flow Rider and he calls them boring musical acts and says like he steals shits on them I think this is funny I'm sry, this is funny to Um Florida Is I Flor Ridide got too much money. I was assuming that Flor Rid I got too much money for this man. Flor Rida got too many hits I look at him right now. He's playing Vienna, Austria Tuesday, Sydney, Canada on the twenty fourth of Niagara Falls, Canada. So to me I don't know why wild flloor I would do this, but everybody does their own shit. Maybe he's a fan. He could be. you never know.. Yeah Yeah, what the fuck am I talking about? Yeah, what a wild floor. Look, man, whatever play whatever fucking concert you want to What I think would be really awesome here is that if Trump didnidn't just step in and do a speech because we've seen that before. That's something we've already seen before I want to see Trump T Some of the songs fromrom the people that dropped out So I want to see Trump do jungle love I want to see I want to see I want to see Trump. whoo would be Trump's Jerome? Like if who would be Tump's Jerome? I want to see Trump If if if you really think that you Evis, Y up come out as Mooorrs Day, you know what I'm saying? Who would be trying This is hilarious. That's what I want to see Who would be tas So from the Commodors, let's go with Brickhouse. Brick house Trum can do brick house Guess a Delta song. Maybe easy like Sunday morning Well u Yeah, but you got to do brick house, though I'm sorry easy like something but they got a lot of records. The Commodore has got a lot of records, but you got to do brickhouse, right? Trump Trump doing brickhouse. But iss Trump? it's hexeth It's going to be so much competition to hold that look a mirror Dor and jungle love It's going to be a lot of c like JD Vans going want to hold that mirror. Oh we want to see Trump do the whole fuc thing. I want to see JD Vans going break his ass to hold that mirror. Heneths going to want to hold the mirror Rubio going to want to hold the mirror. Stephven Miller going want to hold the mirror. Mark Levin might actually have a fucking heart attack tryrying to run over there. Him and B Shapiro would be fighting to fucking hold that mirror for Trump And that's no dist to Jerome because Jerome is my niggot. But that to hold the mirror for Trump, I want to see Trump do some of these records. So don't just come out here. We've already seen you do the fucking rally and lie. here, I don't know Martin McBry records.' she seeing She could do he could do Independence Day, he could do a broken wing Baby, I love you from the rununaway Bride movie Okay. his country was my jam.

Like Donald Trump has been elected who is supposed to be this grand patriot and all of that stuff. He is making a mockery out of the nation's two hundred fiftieth birthday. If you care about that type of thing, right? And a lot of people get mad at me. I don't give a fuck about that shit do not care, right? But I don't either. For the people who do care about that type of thing then Donald Trump is celebrating that, not with some actual deep historical cultural analysis of America and what America' meant on the world stage and all of this different stuff, American innovation, all of that. He's celebrating. A Millie Vanilli concert and a UFC fight at the White House Hey You guys who are patriots, we can't even take y'all seriously because if patriotism is the UFC at the White House, what am I supposed to make it at? That sounds fucking dumb to me, but whatever. U It was like the paradeady had last year that nobody really was there 's like he he's making it about he wants to enjoy like the like everybody there to praise him. is yeah, it's not it's not working.

On a Friday after he said that a federal judge should got ashamed Specifically, he's talking about the Kennedy Center. A Judge should be ashamed of himself for blocking his administration's move to add Trump's name to the Kennedy Center. ruling that board members improperly voted to close the performing Arts Center for renovations this summer It was scheduled to close july fifth for two years. The U. S. district judge Christopher Cooper's decision In that decision, the judge cited Congress's authority over any name changes to the Kennedy Center. Again These are the kind of updates that I want this is like F, I think my first thought was what took so long for this to even happen. It only happened as a result of, you know a former congresswoman who was on the board ended up suing and then got the ruling. I'm like what what what what took so long if this was something that was in if this is like On Ccress has the power to do it And then so Congress is the only one who can make the change. I just didn't know what took so long for this to happen. But but it was thrilling news to me This could be a quick hitter I just loved seeing the fact that a man who continues to force himself on us in ways that are not presidential. These things are slowly being taken away from him you know, on the same in the same week that we get announced that he is putting his face on a two hundred and fifty dollars bill. again to honor himself We see that he is removing the name, name his name is being removed from The Kennedy Center, which he has just ruined that entire thing with who comes to perform there, who sits on the board there. And he was closing this down for two years and now he's like Well, if my name can't be on it, I'm not doing the renovations And it can just go to hell Yeah Fing happen. What do you think it would take? So Trump wass his face on the two hundred fifty dollars bill Trump wants his name on the Kennedy sit there. He wants all of this stuff. What do you think it will take for some of his underlinks to be like he's gone too far. like If Dald Trump came out right now and said I would like to propose a law that mandates Every male and the country, every first born male be named Trump Do you think that Republicans would stand up against him and say, I don't want to have to name my son Trump? No I think it would have to be him saying I want my own version of the Bible. He already did that. Noit minute There's no Is there a Trump Bible? No, Yes, there's a Trump Bible. Remember the Trump Bible? He's he already he legitimately already did that. He's done he has assaulted everything they hold deep. And they just let up the next hole there's like in the way that they have the King James version, they have the Donald Trump version of the Bible. I'm so I don't know that he changed the text. You know, he did. It's called God bless the USA. Trump Bible Trump has a. He already legitimately God bless the USA Bible is an edition of the King James Bible Christian Bible endorsed and marketed by Donald Trump. It is in partnership with country Music singer Lee Atwood and features American founded documents alongside Stri. legitimately already did that. He already did the Bible. He already did him as Jesus. He's done it all. and they just don't it's so funny to me, man I mean, I was about to say If he reid the crucif If he put himself hanging on the I think they'd be cool. version of him That might be go too far, but Wow. I thought I had it with the Bible. No, man. he already did that. He's like I guess nobody bought it I don't know. I remember we covered this, I think. I mean There were certainly Oh, I can't keep up. We have shoes, we have a Bible, shoes. We have Bible himself. is God. We have coins, deemons, coins All of this stuff. There has not been or more Iironcad case for the anntichrist in a long time. If you're putting up antich Christ people It's like, there's not been I remember when Obama first came along And some of my homeomies back in Baton Rouge where everything is about the end of the world and Antichrist and all that stuff was like, bro, I don't know man. I see somebody with this type of fucking sway and he's that I feel like this could be an anntichrist situation. And I'm like If a nigga is the anntichrist That is the funniest God has the biggest sense of humor in history. After everything that black people have been through, if the Antichrist was actually a black guy That would be God is hilarious, right? if that were to happen Obviously, it didn't Okay, L it didn't happen, but Trump It seems like he's trying to be the Antichrist. He's trying to make people believe that he is wholly consumed direct idolatry to him Nobody cares They don't care Yeah, I would think religion would be the thing that cross the line, but There's nothing at this point There's nothing, man This. But you know what? today We have a victory. Those letters are coming down. Now, you asked me earlier if I had gone to see Dr. King If I had been to the Lincoln Memorial I might swing by the Kennedy Center.ow and see if I can see it live Now that would be something to watch. That would be something to see Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, look, I'm looking at it I know a lot of people that were involved ' the president has to appoint you to like the Kennedy thing. So I know some people that were involved in that. And actually it was very difficult for them with the way Donald Trump gutted everything. They had to then leave someome of them have to leave their posts and that appointmentce once you're appointed to that, like that's an appointment for life. You're part of that forever. It's a big deal and it's something that you can like you know, really be part of that iss supposed to celebrate America and celebrate some of the greatest artists in the history of America and all of that stuff. I just know a lot about culture who are really gutted by the fact that I remember someone wait is nothing sacred. Somebody that I know that was appointed is nothing sacred. Is there no part of America that he won't defile this Gotesque sense of self importance that the president seems to have this unbelievable ego. Can we have nothing And maybe you could still have the Canadian Center. I don't know what happens if you are appointed and then you leave. Can you go back? I don't know what happens We'll see Well I think the board is still in place and Like now they're concerned. they're going fight. obviously. they're going to challenge this in court But they're concerned now that what donations they lost before with what Trump did in taking over and putting his name on it and appointing certain people like Gou A Vance They're worried that Now that his name is removed that they won't have any donations and the whole thing is just going to go. And remember They were shutting it down for two years. So they've lost the entire calendar for this next year as far as performing arts goes. So I don't know what will happen there, but today Trump' name's coming down. There you go. Is me This episode is brought to you by Duluth Trading Company.

You voted already, right I voted. Yes. Iot. st topic. Wh did vote for Are we doing that don' want to do it you don want people to know Okay, well, I'm just going to do the big three. for me And I voted for Karen Bass. There you go. I voted for Tom Steyer and I voted for Michael Tubbs for Lieutenant Governor. Okay, sweet and I'll tell you why I ask you that You want to say who you voted for? I haven't voted yet, so I can't I've already told everyone who I'm voting for, you know what I mean? Im voting I'm wriding in butchwear Uh, I am U Voting to the left of Bass. I'm voting for Ramen U which is ye not just a delicious treat. it's somebody to the left of Americ And I am obviously voting Michael Tubpson. Love Michael Tubs, Wood love to see Michael Tobes achieve as much. So I'm voting to the left of the center of the party Um For a lot of different reasons. the vote for the mayor the mayor. is a strategic vote to try to influence the top two What to you, Rachel What do you think Spencer Press rise means because he is a viable viable candidate leading up to the the second here I know. fromom what I gather for people who are interesterested in him. is what it means is it's very similar to twenty sixteen. People keep saying, I want to change. I want something different mostost people don't understand, you know, what it is, what like how hard it is to accomplish everything, especially in a city like Los Angeles in four years. They don't understand what has been done prior to this mayor that has been building on, building on building to create the current situation that we are in right now. It is impossible, I think, for somebody to be able to get it done in four years. And I think people are so frustrated and wanting something different right now that they're willing to listen to the voice, even though it's plans over policies, it's ideas over any type of actual execution or the ability to execute, they don't care. They just want to say that they voted for something different. And I even think that let's just say he moves on into the primary. That's still the overriding a thought with people, I'm voting for something different. Well, even if it doesn't work out, I was trying to have something different, Which to me is doesn't make any sense when okay, what is the difference that you're voting for? If this is a person that doesn't have any policies in place, I don't know if you've seen the viral video going around. if you're black, Um Shout out to Slotsen girl on social media who asked Spincer Prat, what are you what are your She's great What are you doing? What are your plans for the bllack community for bllack people at LA, he had none. He was like, Yeah. I'm listening to them. It tells me they haven't been heard. Yeah I don't really know. like that is Spencer Pratt. So I just I think the main reason long way of saying is that people feel like they're voting for something different Your thoughts No I agree. U 'causeuse this just popped up and I kind of spung it into the podcast I'm sorry about doing that I'm sorry to Rachel I' sorry Donny.' sorry Benard who looks No, no, no, no, no.'oo at white lady. I I welcome any chance to shit on Spencer Prow U Do you know what though? Do you know if I had to really think about what Spencer Pratt Aually meant. M You know, what it to me, it's it's actually more than that not actually more than it. it's more and different at the same time I think that Spitzer Pratt is probably the revenge of the ruling class. Keep going. You't, You gave Rach your face Yeah I'm listening. I'm listening. I' see where you going with it. Okay I think Spencer Pratt is the revenge of the ruling class. So Mamani came along in New York. Mom Danni represents the revenge of the proletariat Mam Danni represents people going, hey, this is our city. New York is so culturally strong If you can make an argument to New Yorkers that their city is actually being hijacked by people who are trying to leverage their cultural control over the city to make it into a Oh play Playhouse sandbox for billionaires. New Yorkers will listen to that because There are very few cities in America that have as strong a cultural ownership over their city as New York does. New Yorker is a New Yorker They believe that if you put a New Yorker in the middle of the fucking Moon with no other resources that New York is so tough they would figure out how to live there. They really believe in what it means to be a New Yorker. And so M Donny came along and M Donny went, Hey, people are trying to dilute that They're trying to trying to change your city into something that no longer reflects the identity of the city that you've always held true They're trying to make it unaffordable. They're trying to make it unlivable. They're trying to make all of the stuff that you think is New York into the version that they think is New York U And people responded to that they elected mom d Now Mam Donny is governing and you know, we'll see how he continues to govern. I think in LA, it's a little bit different. I think in LA LA already kind of is. U playlhouse, play pin amusement park for the super rich and beautiful is that not the parts of L.A that are the most cultural parts, but the parts of LA that people consider to be LA partarticularly in the last five to ten years, you're talking about member of club LA. you're talking about invited to this activation L.A. You're talking about invited to this screen in L.A. You're talking about the type of LA that people want to be a part of and that part of LA is controlled by a lot of people and it is Excuse me by a small group of people. and it is no secret. that Those people are the ones that are Funding Spitzer Pratt. The ones that are funding Sensense for Pratt are like the governor of the Lakers. The head of Netflix Now I didn't see Tess S Randles, I did see Nicole Avon is I read some stuff, don't know how to it is that she's backing Spencer Pratt Like Luciy in Grange, like all of these people, David Foster, all of these people, I'm looking at the list right now Um These types of of people who want LA to sort of remain a place that's not necessarily for the people There's a Fake progressivism that exists in this city that no one ever really talks about. like a progressivism that are people who rebuke Trump in public, but in private, they arere super happy for their tax breaks They want elitism and the structure of this particular city to they want that to to endure They care about this. but they have to play nice in these elections because They want to seem progressive They want to see progressive because a lot of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles I'm talking about this is essentially Hollywood. It's about projecting this air of inclusion without there actually being any real inclusion. So You know, Caruso was a lot of these people who guy the last time because they kind of want somebody to come in and crack the whip and make their city They consider to be livable. what they consider to be awesome for their type of people. They don't want to have to see people struggling. They don't want to have to see people starving. They don't want that not because it affects those people. They don't want it because it's a bummer to them. Because if we actually were to address those problems, it would make their illk a little bit less powerful in this city So whoever the person is, whether it's Caruso in the last election or whether it's Pratt now is a much more direct conduit to being who they need him to be because there are no ideas in his head. He's a blank slate. He is them He is someone who is able to put on a good performance, but behind them, there's really no ideas that undergirl what it is that he believes They love that think that that's the theal. They want somebody who's more conservative to come in here and get LA going again and more more than that They want someone who they can control and say what you want about Mary Bass and about Ramen. they're not going to be able to do that as much as they would with Spitcer Pratt So what you really see with a lot of these people who if you went in there their houses they'd have pictures with them and Obama up there. They'd have pictures with them and Hillary Clinton up there. They have pictures with them and Bernie Sanders if they really were on one one year or whomever else. You see all of the money that they've donated to all of these causes. But when it comes down to actual sharing and community building, they're not going to really be interested in that. And particularly at a high leverage moment for the city a moment where the city actually needs people who can come in and make LA a place isn't just beautiful for rich people is livable average person If you go around, even with the people that yall fuck with that we fuck with and start asking the question, about whether or not they actually care about that. The answers that you get are going to be so striking. For even the people that you think that you can trust, the good people the ones that might march with you during Pide month, the ones that might march. G an example. I mean, but I don't I don't I don't want to name names because I haven't No, not name, not name, just like The idea is that you said it would be shocking What do you meanar, W You said It would be shocking to hear what they think. I'm not asking you to name people. I'm just like, what's the idea like that they have? Oh, I think the idea, the ideas that I'm talking about is like, okay, cool. So If We're talking about H homelessness in Los Angeles, right? If we're talking about affordability in Los Angeles Um, yeah And we're talking about even the fiire. So I'm sure some of these people lost homes in the fires and stuff like that And that's a huge tragedy What you're willing to do is very important. in those situations, to change outcomes The question I always ask people is, what are you willing to share Like what are you willing to share Are you willing to share of your wealth? Are you willing to share? do you give a fuck? Do you think that LA or any place in this country is a better place if we capitalize on the talent, and and the ingenuity of the average American. Do you think that E is better. if you live better Or do you think that LA is better If The people that make LA run live better And that's a fun that's like a fundamental question. and like T to me because of candidates that are left leaning like Mandani all over the place that seem to be telling people, I think this city is better if you're doing better and not if they're doing better. I think a lot of people in a lot of places are going to coalesce around candidates like Pratt that they can put a hand up their back a little easily. a little easier to protect what it is that they have. So when I look at all of these people every single day There's a new producer of this or fucking director of that or CEO of this that's supporting him That's because they believe that he is an elixir ul progressive agenda in Los Angeles. and I'm not saying that Karen Bass is going to bring that But I am going to say if it works in other cities, what you will see is people going, we want a little bit of that for ourselves. But I guess my thing that I find interesting too, and I agree with what you said is all of that benefits a certain group of people All of those people are doing this to protect their interest and keep it themselves on a certain level That is not going to trickle down to the average person who lives in this city. And I think I'm more shocked at the people seeing where we are nationally, right? When you wanted to vote for something different. when you want to change, look at where that has us now. So I understand why the elite are doing what they're doing That's not as shocking to me But what's shocking to me is the person who says, you know, buys into the I'm exhausted from this, I'm exhausted from this. I want change, I want change when it comes to this and thinking that implementing a Spencer Pratt, that is going to trickle down and make your LA better. It's not. And that' and that's also within the current state of the economy nationally. Why do you think implementing a Spencer Pratt with no plans and when he does If he gets into office, the plans and policies that he have are going to benefit the very people that you just named. Why would you think that that's going to trickle down and make your life better? Change the LA, that whatever change it is that you're looking for is going to happen because Spencer Pratt is going to be in office. Nothing that he has done shows that one that he cares about you but too, that he even understands what it is you're going through. And that is very evident from what Slawson Girl was able to ask him In regards to the black community in L.A, he hasn't even fucking thought of it because he that's not what his purpose is. His purpose is The people who are funding him, what is it that you need for me to do? let me get it done. And I think I'm more baffled by the people aren't that you named thinking that Spencer Pratt is the solution for a better LA for them He is not going to solve those problems that are crucial for you as an average person who lives in this city Well said. And here we are again. And here we are again. You've seen it before That's what I think. I said this to somebody on Twitter. I was kind of going a little bit, this is a guy who gets on my nerves on Twitter. and I was kind of saying stuff and they're like, you're talking about a national issue. We're talking about local. And I'm like, you're not getting it You're just not seeing it. It's the same thing. You're right And this is something that frustrates me And it doesn't just frustrate me. low information voters, right? Because we often call people low information voters And I think Sometimes That actually bites us in the ass It bites people and ass when you call somebody agree And the reason why I say that is because like Emotion is information. We wish that it wasn't But it is. Emotion is information It is Aually to me. some of the most compelling information that human beings share between each other. Think about it When you see somebody crying, you go, o my God, I have to do something You go over, you don't know why they're crying They could be crying because of rage. they could be crying because of frustration. They could be crying tears of joy. immmediately, you look at them and you say What's wrong How are you That ist you see somebody's energy low They're brooding a little bit. You use the emotional information that you know about them whether or not they normally a person that's turned up and fun and happy, you go, what's wrong Eotion is some of the deepest information that we have on each other and some of the most fundamental information. So when we call people low information voters We're not holding space for the fact that their emotions are being manipulated And they're asking a lot of times these politicians They're asking for people to mirror them So like If The reason why I try to be policy and consistency centered is because that is the way You to me reallyally get to the point of what the central question we're asking politicians. is which is, do you give a fuck about me Because if I ask you Do you give a fuck about me? And you say, yeah, I'm mad and you're mad. I'm like, okay, here's a deal though. I know that we're both mad I know that everyone's angry and upset, but if you care about me and you are seeking power You have a plan, you have a way to get me out of my situation. You have a way to get me to a place where I'm doing better. That is how a politician actually shows concern. They don't show concern by going, I'm right here from where you from I look exactly like you I sound exactly like you Am you en Tes fall for that because we're getting emotional information from a politician that says, hey, Because you are from where I'm from Because you are me, you must care about what's going on with me. That's not true. What would show that that person cares about you? is whether or not they have detailed Thoughts plans actionable policy on the condition of your life That would show that they care And so with Spencer Pratt, he's mirroring people He realizes I'm not too much different than what the mayor said when she he realizes people are mad. peopleeople upset. P people don't know who's to blame for some of the dysfunction they see in LA And rather than do anything that would solve the problem or put forth any policy that would solve the problem. He says I'mad just like you,. I'm gonna take all these people and send them to Seattle I'm just telling people Spencer Prat That's true But also a lot of the centrist Democrats that you support that aren't offering you anything that aren't like seriously interrogating. U your needs that like a lot of the people from inside your own cohort cohort don't seem to have Dg. Wherewithal to challenge some of the traditional power in America to make your life better? You should be asking this about all of them Eone There are no sacred cows or sacred lambs or sacred little doggies, even though I love little doggies. There's nobody right now that you should not be asking, Okaykay, cool, you want to be In Congress for the next fifty years, what's't it for me And so sometimes it's easy to call out Spencer Pratt when he's on that, but it's harder You call out the candidates that look like us, that come from the places that we come from, that've been sitting there for a long time and can tell you every reason why they never got anything done But nothing that they actually did fucking do plenty of good ones out there and that's definitely true. But at the same time, cynicism to all of these people, including Spencer Prat and including a lot of the people, some surprising names on this list that are going for this some surprising names on this list. that that that are going for this and supporting him Some surprising was, I'm even gonna bullhit you. I still out of seemen like an exhausted Y'k here. Als No, I care. Back here. Theig who did the p I care so much, I'm exhausted. The way people are coming after me, Oh, Rachel, you're so privileged. How can you speak Whatust they say? That doesn't even make any sense If you're right, you're right. I do come I have grown up privileged So and I'm not voting in a privileged way Whatever. over people You know they get they're getting at you they're getting at your race. What are they saying about you I' Oh, I'm, you know, I'm so used to people getting at me, but I think I'm just Get at me, but like make it make sense. Make it make sense U You need to like, u turn me on somebody. No, no, no, no, no We're not there m I've been blocking one person a day So if I jump on Twitter and you just come with a string because sometimes I don' believe you're still over there. Sometimes I do like, sometimes I'll say, hey guys Who's the greatest intercontinental champion of all time And they'll be like, you fucking stupid fat Master is is definitely missed the perfect block right away. just one The rest of them just one. It's a out over there Yeah That's a lot.

I was asking about your ten thousand steps. this morning. I didn' get to finish talking about it A are you doing that I really want to get on that. How long does it take you to walk ten thousand steps Okay, Van, come on, just move on, move the conversation on. I take it back. You are on one. Esespresso has you on one. You're Such a kid. You're such a t comeome on Rac. that's a tough one L that's a tough one. that's one of the. I would like to participate in ten thousand steps. How long does it take you to do that? Okay, so all throughout my thirties I did it, it was very easy. I had I took three walks a day TMZ and then I would do that and work out Most of the time, most of the days through in my thirties. I was averaging maybe sixteen, seventeen thousand steps a day ' now Ill take one walk And then I would come back, I'd take a longer walk at lunch And then I will come back and I would take a shorter walk around the parking lot at the end. had to get out because there' no windows in there No windows at Tam's office, no windows, no winds can see. So I'd have to get some sun, you know what I mean M But now I wake up and in the morning is in the morning around a neighborhood, I do one ten thousand step walk. So I just get every single day takes about Hour fifteen Maybe a little bit more Okay Do that you're taller than me probably be I bet you walk faster. I bet your pace would be faster big gu So one hour fifteen And then I do that and you finish the day with a good amount of steps and then whatever workout that you do on top of that is gravy And also I feel better. My joints feel better. I feel better. I'm sleeping better. All of that stuff. I was off the ten thousand steps and And it's been good for the Achilles, too it's help the Achilles U Okay, freaky Atlanta shit Donny ye. accccording to a newly released judicial misconduct order, a federal judge and a high ranking police official are at the center of allegations involving sexual noisy sexual encounters inside the judge's chambers. during work hours. The allegations stem from a twenty page investigative report compiled after a complaint was filed against the judge. according to the report, emmployees working in the office told investigators that they could hear sounds from the walls they believe were those sexual encounters taking place. Investigators said the incidents allegedly occur over a two year period involve at least encounters. Now the report doesn't publicly identify the judge or officer involved, but sources confirm that the individuals referenced are U S District Judge Elanor Ross And Atlena Police deputy chief Collier Okay, these people are black. Oh So we're not going to avoid that Um it seems as if He. from what everyone is saying They were fucking in the chambers and They could hear the sounds through the walls They were going crazy Um these incidents twoo years I' been fucking in the chambers. What what is the reason? they are having sex in the chambers. Is this kink or was everybody married in this situation Everyone is married. But that does not stop you from going to a hotel Another city. there were options There were options. Th or in this situation, There's probably reasons that they're doing it at that time because they're probably doing it during the day. so I don't have to stay out late You'll have to leave So you don't have to like make an excuse to go to some hotel somewhere. people don't know where you're at you you're having sex inside of the chambers, that's probably easier to conceal than anything else that you would be out there doing Well, clearly not because I saw one video. I don't know if that was real or not, where you could hear noises I also want to say that I saw this story and I said, I'm just gonna to scroll past it because I don't want to breathe life into it. But I knew it would breathe life into it. I knew it would find its way to you. And I knew that you would put this up to talk about. I just knew it This is right this is a story that's right up your alley. You like this kind of stuff I I don't understand why it had to be done in the office. I don't care what you say. There are in a federal judgge's chambers. in a federal judge's chambers They're huge Right around you You have your secretary assistant right outside your office. You have law clerks that are clerking straight out of law school or in law school within it. you have like your court reporter has an office there. You have other researchers that are full time employed there. There are multiple people within your entire chambers that make this operation So for you to be in your office It's It's definitely a kink. like you wanted to be heard. You wanted the thrill of being caught You like this was intentional Have you ever seen a w Yes. So remember when the mayor who was played by m W was then? who was it was it Glenn Termman who played the may might have been. Yeah, I think so. that That was goingetermed. Don, you remember the scene in the wire Yeah, noice I don't know if G if Glenn was wearing a prosthetic or what You know, the mayor was in the his office getting hit up, you know what I'm saying And we see in the wire a couple of different times of them getting busy in these types of situations, which leads me to believe since You know, Simon creraed the wire based upon stuff that he heard and he knew his time U, as you know at the Baltimore sun This is probably more common than you think. I believe that whichich leads me to my next question, Rachel Van. What? This This should not lead you to where I think you're trying to go with this It should not lead you. anywhere near this area What You know, just as a change of pace putut some spark back ? No No No, don't she bring that over here anywhere near the Linds'? T keep it This does not this does not mean this is a pattern on how federal district judges behave. okay? This is this is an element situation and leave it over there. J You know, to keep to keep the the sizzle. There are so many other ways that you can do it. Don't bring that Eleanor Ross shit over here. bring that over here This one Oh You know what I also think that she she didn't have a problem doing it because like this position is a pointed You gotta be impeached. She knew she would still be able to keep her position There' some freaky ass shit going on in Atlanta manan. Fonnie Willis They getting busy They getting busy, man. Um not a fair trying to get her out of her position. Do you think she should be able to keep her position if she was fucking in the chamers? Sure or false? Yes or no Yeah, I mean, it's not like she was doing it to a subordinate Now, the only way I would say is if if some way this this deputy police chief was involved in some of her like for some reason was involved in something in a federal way and it came in front of her. And and then you would have to question her judgment, then that's a reason that she should be removed because now it's a professional thing. This is highly unprofessional, but the fact that she wasn't with the subordinate, she wasn't doing it in the hallway where people can see, I think that she should be reprimanded, but I'm not sure if I think that she should be removed from her position. Okay. As long as it doesn't affect her ability to be a judge. So you're saying Okay I think she's already being publicly reprimanded. publiclyented to say, they're not asking for removal. They're asking for her to be recused from this one specific case. So you think Oh yes, you should be recused from a case Is there anything This Wikipedia is so messy Okay. Wikipedia is so messy The investigation found that she had engaged in a sexual relationship with Atlanta Deputy pololice chief Kelly Collier in parentheses, not her husband. Well justust to be clear in chambers during business hours at times with an ears shot of lawks clerks And that that relationship ose a potential conflict of interest because he is Depputy of the police situation here So there's nothing because I don't know as much about this Fucking in the chambers to you in and of itself is not enough for you to get kicked out of your shit I don't think so As you said, it's probably more common than we think Yeah probablyably I if people we can ask about this If I think that if in any way that you it hinders your ability to do your job professionally or it affects the way that you see cases, then That's when it becomes a problem But the fact that it's the police chief, I mean, listen, she probably deals with more civil cases than criminal at all that don't even touch anythingy that have to do with this Kelly Cllier, who I will also add is married. Okaykay They put in parenthes not her husband. Well, he got a wife too Okay. so is I'm not trying to play the type of gam. I'm just saying, I'm looking at it. I wanted to know your opinion on this Be this is right your allay. This is your expertise. know Her husband's a judge too I think we should do a whole series call Under the Rad Wh we where we go throughout and we ask judges about the freak shit that they're doing in their chambers Because you know what, the chamers aren'tost would not say that they were doing anything. I bet you somebody want to go on record. And so twenty seven percent is my number. That's so twenty seven percent of the judges that have chambers, especially if they nice chambers twenty seven percent of the judges that have chambers, a private place where the judge is the overlord. twentyw seven percent of them, I believe, have fucked in the chambers. Oh got a handy J, something. That is based off of nothing. I mean, it's based off, I mean, look in Atlanta. Well, Fonwnnie Willis was going through and this right here. I could actually say in Atlanta it's probably like fucking sixty seven percent. This magic city in the fucking chambers right now. I bet We don't know anything about Faonnie in her office. You just know that she was having a relationship with somebody. Man, where did it all start All right. So like what I'm saying is I'm I'm not even trying to come down on this because I have no problem with this This is People do, I'm not making any moral judgments to people I just wonder how wide spread it is That's all I'm say Um Donny, I sent you something Oh, I saw this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mount lime Don't try to act like beautiful D't shut no, no, no. don't get to do Van, donon't try to act like, don't try to act like Donnnie, playle my sound when you get a chance. Don't try to act like that you You had forgotten about him. You thought he was gone. I think a lot of people not L look at him, beautiful. Beautiful. P twenty two loving eyes right there I told you years ago years ago Watch where you step, watch where you breathe, watch where you go because there is a visitor. in a neighbor that you share LA with. His name is Mountain Lion And you told me a long time ago that I was making it up. that I was a heritic. All right, and I'm tell you right now like rined hiking for me. I believe you. Look at him. Look at this beautiful creature of Mount Lion lying in wait. You never know. You go past a bush in LA, Mount Lion. You go past a tree in LA. Mount Lion. You go past an overpass. under the pass, Mount Lion. You have no clue where he is, where she is, what's going on with them?ount Look at him, look at him I told you years ago and look majestic Donnie, remember when Van thought that mountain lion was real on the roof put up a picture for.. Bernard hasn' been here.. Bernard hasn't been here for aboutout li dog He got so excitedc Like Rachel has a Rachel Rachel missed out on something. Rachel would have been the greatest litigator of her time. Rachel missed out on something. I've never seen somebody that's able to deflect, that's able to re pivot either that or politician Rachel. That's not the by the way What she's doing right now gets fucked up because that is not The version of the picture that I saw The version of the picture that I saw that's not what I saw The version of the picture that I saw is from much. You were so excited much further back' not. Just to let you guys know, I have an ironclad example of Mount Lyion. And Rachel pulls up some old shit That's actually not even fair because Donnie, could you take it off, please? Could you take it down? Like people got the picture. All right? That I didn't that's not even what I saw. It was from way further back than that So I thought about you when I saw this. I'm happy that this like is rememinding you of your love of Mountain Lion and, you know, in remembrance of P twenty two I'm glad they were able to safely get him and I hope that you know, remove him put him back, you know, in a safe place because you know, it's sad because you know he was probably just like looking for some food L why you chilling to me? reallyally it's not Mount Lion that we have to be worried about in LA right now, even though Mount Lion is back.' Coyote Caote everywhere The fires have just unleashed the coyote on L you see coyotes everywhere like sitting down to eat meals and Starbucks, all kinds of shit. Like Coyotes is like everywhere across the city right now more coyotes than anything Yeah, they think somebody's poisoning them in my neighborhood because they found like, which is awful They found two D dead ones like early in the morning. and then my neighbor a couple of U like last week found one dead in her yard. And so like they think somebody's putting some stuff out, which is like dangerous just to animals in general. Like I'm nervous about coyotes too I have two dogs. I have a little one, but that's not that's that's in That's ridiculous That's not the way to do it. Donny deserving. Donny says the last report That's not downy S me. What are you putting in there? What is that The only time there was another judge was it was Scott Stinner in twenty fourteen. two law students that he had sex in his chamber with I know that ain't Bernard. That's Bernard overready Now I a group Bernard M County Sper Orange County Superior Court Jether beforefore we get out of here Um We got We have a an interview we're about to get to It's for this episode, so to hell with you guys Before we get out of here Rachel 's for celebr Like your favorite famous person I don't have one You'll have a favorite famous person Do you No, but I thought that you would Okay, who is Who is somebody that you like right now?
