From Chi-Town to the Vatican: The Rise of Pope Leo XIV

In this hilariously insightful episode of Pardon the Politics, Jeezy and Manny react to the groundbreaking election of Pope Leo XIV—affectionately dubbed “Pope Bobby”—the first American Pope hailing from Chicago. The duo dives into the cultural mayhem that followed, from memes and sports shoutouts to real questions about his political influence. Could the Vatican’s newest leader shake up U.S. elections?

But that’s not all—your favorite political analysts take on the simmering tensions in Kashmir, where India and Pakistan trade strikes and barbs in a conflict that threatens global stability. And in the most “meh” trade update of the year, Trump’s new tariff deal with the UK leaves more questions than savings—unless you’re in the market for a McLaren.

With their trademark mix of humor, political insight, and brotherly banter, Jeezy and Manny break down the serious and the absurd. Tune in for conspiracy jokes, global beef (literal and political), and a whole lot of American pride.

⚠️ Quick note: This episode includes satirical commentary on religion, geopolitics, and pop culture. We’re not Catholic—we’re curious, respectful, and just here to pod with a little irreverence and a lot of love.

29
Jeezy: that I believe was just amazing, and I want us to break that down. But 1st I want to let our listeners know what that 1st topic for the episode is going to be today. So here we go in the 2025 National Catholic League, Pope draft. The saints had traded to the cardinals, and.
30
Manny: With that number one. Pick the Vatican cardinals, select wide Redeemer.
31
Jeezy: Robert Francis.

Manny: Prevos, Chicago.
33
Manny: It was hard.
34
Jeezy: Oh, ho! Ho!
35
Jeezy: Listen to this crowd! Oh, baby!
36
Manny: That's a long time ago, not the not the wide Redeemer.
37
Jeezy: The wide Redeemer.
38
Manny: Man. Oh, God! You know what America is! A stressful place.
39
Jeezy: He is.
40
Manny: But you know what, when sometimes events happen.
41
Manny: and we, as a country said, Oh, we getting these jokes off.
42
Jeezy: Oh Bruh, for sure.
43
Manny: But and we weren't prepared for this at all, and they people just started letting them fly.
44
Jeezy: But they they were saying that the Pope was from O. Block.
45
Manny: So he.
46
Jeezy: Was. He was in association with King von and and dirt, and they and they even made a shirt with him, with all the all the gangsters that was from Chicago like and Low Key. I want to get that shirt is kind of funny, Bro, but.
47
Manny: The funniest one that I saw is when the Chicago cubs came out and said, Hey, the new Pope is a cubs, Fan and Bro. They came so hard 1st shout out to the person that went through all of that footage to find Pope Bobby.
48
Jeezy: Right in the state.
49
Manny: Fans of the world.
50
Jeezy: Wow! Brother.
51
Manny: Rocking white Sox geek!
52
Manny: This might have been some of the best news.
53
Jeezy: Brett.
54
Manny: Chicago white. Sox, Yup Yup had in years.
55
Jeezy: I think I even seen where the social media for the Chicago bears. You know the famous phrase by, I believe Mike, Dick is the bears, you know. They put the Pope like with the font and the coloring of the Chicago bears so like it's wild to realize that we have an American Pope. So 1st of all.
56
Manny: Let's catch him up.
57
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah, let's let's catch you up. This. This was announced on May the 8.th So this was, it only took 2 days.
58
Jeezy: I want to say, and you've probably heard me mention this in previous episode. I'm a little saddened that we didn't get a Nope. It did happen. We didn't get one of a of a darker variety.
59
Jeezy: but we but we got I feel, the next best thing, and that was an American Pope. So me and Manny were talking in the group chat, and we were trying to do the over and under and figure out how many days, and I can't remember how many days you said. I know I said I didn't think it would take longer than 3 days.
60
Manny: I'm actually disappointed. It only took 2 days.
61
Jeezy: Bro. I. Whatever I'm I'm going to in my mind.
62
Jeezy: This is what I believe took place.
63
Jeezy: I'm starting early. I'm starting early.
64
Jeezy: I believe
65
Jeezy: that those cardinals walked in there, and I can't remember the exact number, but I want to say it was somewhere around 133 cardinals.
66
Jeezy: They walked in there.
67
Jeezy: and after they made that 1st vote and and the black smoke came up, they went to dinner.
68
Jeezy: and that food was terrible.
69
Manny: But get me out of it's terrible.
70
Jeezy: And they say, You know what.
71
Manny: We're not able to.
72
Jeezy: We don't. We ain't knowing this. I ain't knowing this.
73
Jeezy: I gotta get up out of here.
74
Jeezy: I'm sorry.
75
Jeezy: No, they they like they like locked up in the building, brother, they can't can't get out.
76
Jeezy: No access, no Doordash, no, no uber eats, and somebody they them cardinals collectively been into whatever food was made, and the Holy Spirit led them to say, Oh, no, this ain't for us.
77
Manny: Oh, no! Let's get up!
78
Jeezy: This is not the manner that we supposed to receive.
79
Jeezy: and them brothers said, You know what
80
Jeezy: we got to go with somebody?
81
Jeezy: And they said, why not go with the guy from Chicago? Chicago got great food. Everybody likes the Cubs and the white Sox. We even got the bears.
82
Jeezy: Let's go, and then they then they thought about it, said, If we don't get the American Pope
83
Jeezy: Trump said that he wants to be the Pope, so we we gotta we gotta go with him. We got to do it.
84
Jeezy: Yeah, we got
85
Jeezy: got to do it. So that that's my assumption. Because I was not. I thought it would go at least 3 days. I was surprised that it it got to that second day.
86
Manny: I. I was thinking at the rate that we've seen other events.
87
Jeezy: Yeah, I was willing to bet money that we were going to be recording the pod.
88
Manny: Oh, and that was gonna it was gonna happen as soon as we done.
89
Jeezy: Yep, it was gonna be breaking news for us. So I definitely was like, Okay, 3 days. But when I said 3 days, I was like, I'm feeling like it could be longer. And then I was reading things where you know most times it's like the Pope that nobody even like. It's not even on the radar. So I'm like, Okay, well, maybe I can't remember his name. But Cardinal Pizzeria
90
Jeezy: the one that's
91
Manny: Sabala.
92
Manny: I thought it was going to be him. I think that's the whole movie. That's from the Jerusalem. Right? So you know, I'm thinking. Okay. Maybe he was supposed to be the Dark horse he was supposed to be that. You know that figure. They even had it on the news networks that he was like that long shot, and talked about how Pope Francis was a long shot, so maybe it was him. And then.
93
Jeezy: We came out of nowhere.
94
Jeezy: and we elected as the 267th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, an American Pope.
95
Manny: Bruh.
96
Jeezy: And I don't know how I feel about it. Bro. It's cool, but.
97
Manny: Here's here's where I'm concerned.
98
Jeezy: Okay.
99
Manny: For years. It was conventional wisdom
100
Manny: that the Pope look. The Us. Pretty much controls the money supply. We control the military. We have really large control in the UN. Everyone low key just does what America says. So we can't give the Papacy
101
Manny: to someone from the Us.
102
Manny: So you know, if if you rock with me. So I think that that's a big part of it. But if you, if you rock with me
103
Manny: a little bit here, and here
104
Manny: is what I think happened. If you could hit my theme music.
105
Jeezy: -Oh! -Oh! -Oh!
106
Manny: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. We got another one.
107
Manny: You might as well keep that. Keep it going.
108
Manny: I think that they got into that room, and they're like, you know what Donald Trump is annoying.
109
Manny: and there's no way we can let him be the most known person
110
Manny: known American in the world. So how do we fix that.
111
Manny: Cool. We're gonna we gotta make it American. The Pope.
112
Jeezy: Bruh.
113
Jeezy: That's 1 way.
114
Manny: That.
115
Jeezy: I'm actually surprised with Donald Trump that he hasn't
116
Jeezy: come out because I think people were kind of scathing the the Pope's old Twitter handle or whatever.
117
Jeezy: And then, maybe there may be some comments that he made that are contradictory to the views of Trump.
118
Jeezy: and I'm surprised that he hasn't said anything about that.
119
Manny: Because how are you going to fight the Pope?
120
Jeezy: And that's what I'm thinking like.
121
Manny: Like.
122
Jeezy: It's the Pope.
123
Manny: It's the Pope like.
124
Manny: So like, even if you're not Catholic like, neither of us are Catholic. So I think I think that is a key thing for us to call out as well.
125
Jeezy: Oh oh yes!
126
Manny: Conversation, neither of us.
127
Jeezy: Neither one of neither one of us. Okay.
128
Manny: So we are looking at this from a historical.
129
Jeezy: Yep.
130
Manny: A political and a comedic point only.
131
Jeezy: Yep, so so please understand that.
132
Manny: Please understand.
133
Jeezy: As you walk through this segment with us.
134
Manny: Don't! Don't send us. Y'all are horrible Catholics.
135
Jeezy: Yeah, right?
136
Jeezy: You're not because I'm not.
137
Manny: As I'm back.
138
Jeezy: Much respect for you, and much respect to your faith. But I'm not. But but before we continue that point, I do want to point out that when I looked over his background.
139
Jeezy: though he was the long shot or the less known candidate he's he's done a lot of work.
140
Manny: Oh, man! Nick! Absolutely.
141
Jeezy: Like he's over over. He spent for 2 decades over in Peru as a missionary and a bishop. I think he has dual citizenship. I think he has citizenship here, and then he has.
142
Manny: And improve.
143
Jeezy: In Peru as well for the service that he'd done, and then it looks like he later served as the the general of the Augustan order. Well, I don't know what that is, but that sounds pretty amazing.
144
Manny: Sounds pretty important.
145
Jeezy: And he was also appointed by Pope Francis in 2023 to lead the Vaticans
146
Jeezy: decissary of bishops. So you know, he.
147
Manny: Knows the work, he knows the world.
148
Jeezy: He knows the world, he knows he knows the the mission he knows, and has worked closely with Pope Francis. So I think in previous episodes. What we talked about that we felt as though
149
Jeezy: whoever was going to replace Pope Francis was going to be someone that was probably going to continue the work I feel when you read his background and what he's done in his career, if that's what you would call it. It aligns with picking up the mantle from where Pope Francis left off, and continuing to go forward.
150
Manny: I agree, a thousand percent. And you hear that we're starting to hear a little bits of information and chatter, that if you look at Provost against Parloni.
151
Jeezy: Yeah.
152
Manny: It sounded like Parloni knew the political, governmental, administrative part of being the Pope. Okay with being the Secretary of State. But, like the pastoral part wasn't there.
153
Manny: and I think
154
Manny: I think the the cardinals got in there, and obviously in prayer, and I think one of the things Tim Dolan the Cardinal out of New York. He's like, Hey, the we get in here. We pray to God and really just ask what the church needs. And thus we're talking about 1.8 billion people. So you're looking at almost
155
Manny: 1 8th of the sorry I'm do do real lazy math today. 1 8th of the of the entire population of the world. And what what does the world need? Yeah. And I think
156
Manny: in choosing someone like Pope Leo Aka, Pope Bobby. Yeah, we go, you know.
157
Jeezy: At the pod. He's here. He's known as Pope Bobby Pope Bobby, that.
158
Manny: Is mama naming? Is mama naming Bobby.
159
Jeezy: I'm a call back.
160
Manny: I'm Bobby, but it is someone who had that experience reaching across out from a religious pastoral.
161
Jeezy: Yep.
162
Manny: You know, core belief standpoint. And I, if you look across the world, I think that's what we need. There's so much
163
Manny: depression and frustration. You. The world, I think, needs that point back to God, yeah, to religion. Like. So I think. And you're see you're hearing it. Now that
164
Manny: that emerged that he was really going to fill that role. And here's what I can.
165
Manny: This is what I'm I feel for Pope Bobby.
166
Jeezy: Okay.
167
Manny: Imagine being in that room knowing there's a chance
168
Manny: that you but no one's really talking about you. So you just chilling like, Yeah, you're like, man. If I get out of, we get out of this. The White Sox have a game at home, and if I go in between, I can make that this Bobby could have been planning an entire cookout at his house for his parish.
169
Jeezy: Oh, Bro.
170
Manny: And now.
171
Jeezy: I hope you can get your money back.
172
Manny: You the Pope. Now, what.
173
Jeezy: Won't be going to no more White House games from here on out.
174
Manny: Mean, but to also see well, 1st off. Hold up. No, I am absolutely going to some white Sox game I'm throwing.
175
Jeezy: The Pope pulled up to the White Sox game. Bruh.
176
Manny: He has to. He has.
177
Jeezy: That's wild. Bro.
178
Manny: You understand my entire trip? 1st trip to the Us. Is me going to Chicago, and I'm throwing out the 1st pitch. What.
179
Jeezy: Brother Pope, throwing out the 1st pitch, is the.
180
Manny: Wild.
181
Jeezy: Wildest thing!
182
Manny: I get it, but.
183
Jeezy: Bruh, no Bro, no.
184
Manny: He's got it. He's gotta do it. He's gotta do that.
185
Jeezy: Want to put. I want to put a I want to put a quarter in the parking meter on that topic, because that's going to lead me to somewhere else. But I want to say something else first.st
186
Manny: Yeah, you're okay.
187
Jeezy: I find it very interesting, and Manny said it earlier. We're not Catholic. So a lot of this as this process happened from the Pope the previous Pope, Pope Francis passing away until the ceremonial, and all the the order of things that have to happen to select a new Pope
188
Jeezy: I was in. I was intrigued at the the layout of things. Because I'm I'm a very over analytical person. So when I see things, I'm like, Okay, why is this.
189
Manny: Why is it set up like this? Yep.
190
Jeezy: Yeah, because we I mean shout out to the queues. But I don't see why you got to have all these these queues come and have a conclave. It's funny, Brooke. I was telling my wife she was. She heard me talking about, and I was saying a conclave, and my wife being a member affiliated with the queues she was like.
191
Jeezy: Wait a minute, she said. Conclave! She said. Why do cubes use that? I said. Hey, I have no idea.
192
Manny: It's.
193
Jeezy: Somehow they're tied to the Roman Catholic faith. But anyway, in doing this I thought, and I was weird. Well, not not weirded out. But I was confused. Because I'm like, Okay, well, we got, you know, Robert Prevost, and then it's like he will be known as Pope Leo the 14, th and I'm like
194
Jeezy: well his mama didn't name him Leo. Where in the world
195
Jeezy: like I'm and I want our listeners to understand this again. I'm not Catholic, so I have no understanding. But I educated myself over the past week, and I thought it was very interesting how Popes choose their name.
196
Jeezy: So he's known as Pope Leo the 14.th So obviously I went back to go look at well, who in the world is Pope?
197
Manny: With these other 13.
198
Jeezy: Yeah, like. And it's odd, because well, not odd. But it's fascinating. When you think about that. They choose their names kind of an affiliation of what they believe in. And when you look at Pope 13, Pope 13 was known for his advocacy of workers, rights and social justice. And I was like, Okay, you know.
199
Manny: Oh, they'd be saying stuff they'd be saying. Stuff with them.
200
Jeezy: Yeah. Oh, yeah. So I'm like him picking. Leo
201
Jeezy: was very intriguing to the climate that we live in socially and just in our globally what we're dealing with.
202
Jeezy: and seeing him pick a name
203
Jeezy: that is very much tied into something that we need, which is what you spoke of earlier. And in his address, when he 1st talked in his public 1st public address he emphasized this peace and this unity in the Church's role as a beacon of light in the world, and that leads me to what you were talking about earlier, about how you know in the climate that we're in now, how we need that beacon of light to lead people back to faith.
204
Jeezy: And you know he even went as far as to call for you know, global peace. And he particularly pointed out Gaza and Ukraine, and he emphasized a hope for a continued ceasefire. So I'm like, okay. In his 1st address he's already putting his hand in a conflict that we've seen many others try to put their hand in and try to get something done. But now you have someone of this high status.
205
Manny: Also doing the same.
206
Jeezy: Doing the same thing right? So then, going back to that parking meter that we just put a quarter in, it makes me think, with the Pope coming and making these appearances in America if he was at a white Sox game. That lets me. That leads me to think what is his impact. And what is his influence on American politics?
207
Manny: Oh, no, I think it is about to. I think we a to lead on that we forget the the Pope. The Vatican city is its own country.
208
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
209
Manny: Like clearly its own country. So the Pope is a world leader, not only spiritually but politically.
210
Jeezy: And.
211
Manny: And I think what we saw with Pope Francis is Pope was Pope. Francis was very much with the people you always saw him. You never really saw him like full poped out with the full outfit, always kind of low key, and I think there was a really strong effort for him to always connect with the people.
212
Manny: And to see him a pick the name, you know, he started his first.st I'm gonna call it. I'm gonna say church service, because I
213
Manny: when it's official, I don't even think it was a mass.
214
Manny: He did his 1st thing behind the pulpit. But he started it in English like that.
215
Jeezy: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
216
Jeezy: And I, okay.
217
Manny: And to see
218
Manny: so, and to see the Pope do that, I think it's really interesting, because largely Americans as a whole don't really care about the Pope
219
Manny: up to this up until this moment. Yeah.
220
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
221
Manny: It is a topic of conversation.
222
Manny: Yeah, I feel like, even amongst Catholics. Yeah, it's it's a topic of conversation here in the Us. But to have one of our own. And now this is the second Pope from the Americas.
223
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
224
Manny: I think that
225
Manny: that it is a major opportunity for the Church. And the one other thing that I'd also like to point out at this point is that
226
Manny: the Catholic Church has been in some scandals over the last couple decades.
227
Jeezy: Oh, yeah.
228
Manny: And there were several groups out there saying that the Catholic Church must pick an American Pope because of all of the other Areas diocese that the American Catholic Church has been the has been the church that has best and most appropriately handled these sexual abuse claims.
229
Jeezy: Okay.
230
Manny: And that we need to see that continue.
231
Manny: So I
232
Manny: I think it'll be interesting, because, like in some of the things people break down. Hey? Is he conservative? Is he liberal? And from everything that I've seen he's all over the place, and very much a centrist.
233
Jeezy: Yeah.
234
Manny: So it'll be interesting on how all of these things come together as these world events evolve. What does that 1st meeting between the Pope and Donald Trump look like.
235
Jeezy: Well, I think that hopefully trump doesn't try to exploit it, to make it for his own personal gain. But when I think about the influence that the Pope has. Being an American, there's approximately 20% of Americans that identify as Catholic.
236
Manny: I saw about 60 million.
237
Jeezy: That. That's that's a that's a pretty hefty number.
238
Manny: Yeah.
239
Jeezy: So when you think about his leadership and what you know, his influence may be on Catholic voters.
240
Jeezy: there could be an impact, especially when it comes to what aligns with his views on social justice. I think that he's expressed some of views on some views on immigration. Certainly, if he's picking up the mantle from Pope Francis. He definitely had a way of compassion for immigration, and even he's been. He's been known to have some environmental concerns. So his impact, I feel, could potentially
241
Jeezy: reshape the political narrative in America because we're in a once again, which is crazy on the Bingo card of of America that we are now in a position that we have an American Pope, and we don't know what that looks like.
242
Manny: No no one, no one does.
243
Jeezy: No, I.
244
Manny: It was a larger chance that there would be a African American well, an African Pope. I I thought that there it was just more likely because I was just like, that's a lot of consolidated power.
245
Jeezy: Yeah.
246
Manny: With America.
247
Jeezy: It is.
248
Manny: Now there have also been quotes, and this is where I start getting concerned. But it was a I think it was a past Cardinal, and it was like secondhand. But the quote was essentially.
249
Manny: we won't see an American Pope
250
Manny: until the Us. Is in a decline.
251
Manny: Because it's too much power.
252
Jeezy: Fire!
253
Manny: One country. I'm I'm look, man.
254
Manny: and it it's gonna be it's gonna be a ride. It's all this is going to be a ride. It.
255
Jeezy: Is it possible the nearest election that we have is a midterm in 2026?
256
Jeezy: Could we possibly see from the Vatican to the voting booth.
257
Jeezy: Could we see that Pope Leo, Pope Bobby could become the most unexpected
258
Jeezy: political influence of 2026 is, is it? Is it? Is it possible.
259
Manny: Oh, I see you one, and I'll raise you another.
260
Manny: Ouch!
261
Manny: Pope! Bobby is American born.
262
Manny: Could.
263
Jeezy: She run for.
264
Manny: President in 2028 have K.
265
Manny: No, no, let's go ahead and have some.
266
Manny: Come on.
267
Manny: Wait.
268
Jeezy: That deserves a double. Take, Brad, what.
269
Manny: There, there is a world of oh, no! There is a world of possibility. Let me.
270
Jeezy: We're out there in the multiverse of madness.
271
Manny: Continue on if if you'd like to hit my theme music one more time, as I just sat, and I went through this whole multiverse in my mind.
272
Manny: Now, lots of bad things would have to happen for this to take place.
273
Manny: But if King Charles William and his entire family, and Harry all die.
274
Manny: We could not only have obviously the Us. President.
275
Manny: we could have a you, an American Pope.
276
Manny: and we could have an American King of England.
277
Manny: There we go.
278
Manny: Are we going to go for the trifecta.
279
Jeezy: Bruh.
280
Manny: Now, lots of bad things have to happen.
281
Jeezy: Is there somewhere in the Bible where this signals that if this happens that this is like at the beginning.
282
Manny: But okay, okay. So here we go. -Oh,
283
Manny: yeah.
284
Manny: Don't watch.
285
Jeezy: Oh! Hey!
286
Manny: So if you made your way onto the interwebs and went deep into the interwebs, there was somebody who pointed out, I believe, is Daniel 7 and 4, where they talk about the beast
287
Manny: and.
288
Jeezy: Oh!
289
Manny: Look, look, man! Here we go! Hold on!
290
Jeezy: -Oh.
291
Manny: Look, I want to. I'm pulling this up real quick.
292
Manny: yeah, because I wanted to make sure that I'm quoting it correctly where we're talking about the good Book, Daniel 7 and 4 from the new international version.
293
Manny: In this they are talking about Daniel's vision of the 4 beasts.
294
Manny: And 4 says the 1st was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle.
295
Jeezy: -
296
Manny: I watched until its wings were torn off, and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on 2 feet like a human being, and the mind of a human was given to it. Now I wanted to stop that earlier, but I'm always going to read the entire verse, but that 1st voice, the 1st was like a lion. Leo.
297
Manny: largely associated with the lion wings of an eagle American American.
298
Jeezy: -Oh! -Oh.
299
Manny: Oh, yeah, but we see. So I don't know.
300
Manny: I don't know. But that's what the interwebs were telling me on some craziness.
301
Jeezy: I tell you, for a hat community they get. They give.
302
Manny: Wild.
303
Jeezy: Maybe.
304
Manny: Why?
305
Jeezy: Working overtime. Bro.
306
Manny: But I from everything that I've seen about about Pope Bobby.
307
Manny: He it really sounds like it is a continuance of the work that Pope Francis was doing with the focus on the poor.
308
Jeezy: Yeah.
309
Manny: But still with that eye to reform. Because I think with this with this pick. And it's interesting, because what I know, for I won't say no for a fact. But over the last 2 popes there's been a eye of reform.
310
Jeezy: Yeah.
311
Manny: Francis was seen as a reformer.
312
Manny: Pope Bobby seems also like he is in the same vein of reform that they're trying to do in the church.
313
Manny: So it's like, it's almost like the church recognizes that it needs to be more relevant. And maybe that's what they go with.
314
Jeezy: Yeah.
315
Manny: But man to but how does it? And there was other quotes as soon as they were getting ready to go in, and this is when I knew that Pope. Hold on! I want to say his name right, Pope Parloni.
316
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah.
317
Manny: This is how I knew he was not going to win.
318
Manny: because I kept seeing, hearing the quote
319
Manny: the person that enters the conclave as the Pope. Oh, will leave a cardinal. Yep, and boy! They were hyping him up.
320
Jeezy: Would have been like yo. Y'all y'all chill y'all got to chill.
321
Manny: And maybe maybe that's why I'm not Catholic nor a cardinal. Yeah, I don't think I would want that responsibility. Maybe that's also why I'm nowhere near the pulpit.
322
Jeezy: Man, I don't.
323
Manny: I don't.
324
Manny: Responsibility of of
325
Manny: of being responsible for the teaching and the training of the souls for Christ. I don't want that responsibility. No, no.
326
Jeezy: That's a lot. Bro, so I think that you know. Shout out to Pope Bobby, this is something that we've never seen, but obviously the the fate has led has has led these 133 plus cardinals.
327
Manny: 2323.
328
Jeezy: 23123 cardinals into selecting Pope Leo as our Pope for the future. He was born in 1955, so.
329
Manny: He could serve 20 plus years like he could be there for a minute.
330
Jeezy: And I believe that Pope Leo the 13th is one of the longest serving Pope. So you know, maybe you know, there are multiple reasons why he chose this name, but certainly we have this American Pope, and I believe that we may see in the future, as we see American politics go forward with midterm elections and
331
Jeezy: the new Presidential election. Where does he fall in line.
332
Manny: Yeah.
333
Jeezy: I would assume that. Does he come home? How long will that absent? How long would that ballot take to get over here if he votes in the American election.
334
Manny: Well, no, on top of that, it's like impacts of him being an American like, because we know we tax American citizens. So we are we gonna tax him? Is he going to come over and vote like we have very American.
335
Jeezy: Can you imagine, Bro, the media would go crazy.
336
Manny: Night.
337
Jeezy: Following this man coming into wherever precinct he got to go into, to go, cast his vote. That would be so, I low-key, that'd be low key kind of tough bro like. I flew all the way in from from the Vatican.
338
Manny: On Pope Force one.
339
Jeezy: On Pope Forest One. They come in and place my vote, and while I'm here, let me go ahead and get some of this Chicago food.
340
Manny: Happy this pizza.
341
Jeezy: And it's.
342
Manny: Pizza.
343
Jeezy: The Vatican food is decent, but it ain't hit it like that. Chicago, that deep dish pizza and all that. Yeah, I got to have that so.
344
Manny: And here's the other very, and I don't know if it's just because we have an American Pope, and we're dealing with this.
345
Jeezy: Yeah.
346
Manny: But I'm not gonna lie. I thought most popes were like single kids, or like we never boy. They.
347
Jeezy: Right.
348
Manny: They have his brothers on a media tour.
349
Jeezy: Bruh. And and these fools are having a day.
350
Jeezy: You can. You can imagine by him being from Chicago, you can imagine what?
351
Jeezy: Oh, yeah, dynamic is, it is exactly what you would imagine it to be.
352
Manny: From them coming out. I was like this man used to play Pope when they were kids. And I was like, Oh, yeah, you were. Sometimes you're just destined for.
353
Jeezy: It just meant for you. Bro.
354
Manny: But like, I think about how, what, and we joke about this in the group chat like the the boy. When I ran for office. The boys were just like, I hope you know that somehow this works out with you getting to the White House.
355
Manny: Are we coming up there?
356
Jeezy: Hi bruh.
357
Manny: We it up there.
358
Jeezy: But it's crazy that you say that.
359
Manny: We we doing a cookout on the on the front, on the south lawn.
360
Jeezy: I have a feeling that the response in the way that his brothers have been since he's become the Pope is exactly how us, as the boys were.
361
Manny: Oh, actually.
362
Jeezy: If you had, if if you made it, and was so fortunate to be President.
363
Manny: Boy, because one of the brothers is talking about. You know he's like, Oh, when I see him I'm a hug on him, and then I'm gonna give him a nuggy, and I was like, Wait, can I give the Pope a nuggy.
364
Jeezy: Can you imagine, Bro, they gonna jump on that fool? So.
365
Manny: If we were to just randomly find out, one of our boys just became the Pope.
366
Manny: I think first, st it's excitement. Because because we know, like, Okay, you may not have like wanted this, but we knew we saw it. There's obviously got to be excitement for him and the family as they as he is now achieved. Like I, there's not a there's not a level higher in the Catholic Church than being the Pope. Maybe it's sainthood, maybe.
367
Manny: but I think that's probably maybe the last rung that you can get to on the the Pope high on the Catholic hierarchy. Yeah. But to see your see your little brother like something that he he's loved, since he was
368
Manny: little to finally reach that. It's got to be a great feeling.
369
Jeezy: Oh, yeah.
370
Manny: But they them from Chicago. Oh.
371
Manny: oh! The jokes are queued up.
372
Jeezy: Oh, Bro, I wonder the dynamics, I wonder is he like the
373
Jeezy: the younger brother? You know it's.
374
Manny: He's the.
375
Jeezy: Models. Okay, the youngest.
376
Jeezy: Oh, Bro, yeah. I got to know that they got to be made. I don't have any siblings, but I can only imagine that they know that your your baby brother has made it to this this position.
377
Jeezy: I gotta believe that they are immensely proud of what he's done, and to know that he has been dedicated to the fate and done so much work over the years to get to this this position. I mean, I'm pretty sure they're gonna miss their brother going to games and dinners and stuff like that. But.
378
Manny: Like you can't just call the Pope.
379
Jeezy: No, you bruh, you bruh! No, there! There is no group chat no more.
380
Jeezy: Right?
381
Jeezy: You know you gotta go from there. I gotta make an appointment with the Pope. You know it's it's pretty crazy. But who knows? Maybe maybe there May could be some shift and change in how he moves and operates as the Pope.
382
Manny: Because we never really hear about the Pope's family.
383
Jeezy: No, no, we don't.
384
Manny: And I think part of that's because of age, like you're getting a pope. That's usually late sixties sixties plus. So. But you know.
385
Manny: I think this has been, at least in America, nothing but good press for the Catholic Church, for a church that at least here in the Us. Has historically not had good press.
386
Jeezy: Yeah, I think that it.
387
Jeezy: One thing that I have loved about this
388
Jeezy: and this is one of my my things that I love about America is that
389
Jeezy: we? And it gives me a little gleamer of hope
390
Jeezy: is that we can have so much chaos. We can have so much division. We can have so much going on, and so much that that just destroys the bridge between between us and our differences. But when something American happens that we all can like.
391
Manny: Oh, yeah.
392
Jeezy: Board, with.
393
Manny: We all get on board.
394
Jeezy: We get on board. It's like that feeling I feel like when he became American probe. It's just how it was when the Us. Men's soccer team went to the cup and we had the. We believe, you know, I believe, Chan, and how we get behind the track and field team in the Olympics.
395
Jeezy: When the that we really embody this like, okay, yeah.
396
Manny: When the Us. Cricket team started going off.
397
Jeezy: Like we get the moments where it's like we get real proud. No matter the differences that we might be upset with political views. And you know where things are going and how people. And we can say that this is going, and there are so many things that separating us than you then unifying us. But there's always that one thing that we like. Yeah, no, Bro, we we good. We we American today. So shout out to Pope Bobby, shout out to.
398
Manny: Bobby, I just want you to know you have an open invite to the pod. Let us know.
399
Jeezy: We'll come. We'll come. We'll come to Vatican City.
400
Manny: I don't know.
401
Jeezy: Food is like.
402
Jeezy: Got to know about the food. Now
403
Jeezy: we can come there. We got somebody that we know. That's part of our umbrella that likes to do food reviews shout out to Frank and Fee, they can come with us and do some reviews of the food in Vatican City, or we'll come and highlight your Pope, and we'll we'll bring you some some gear and stuff, too, man. So we got you as well, too. So shout out to Pope Bobby. Congratulations.
404
Manny: Relations.
405
Jeezy: The 14th in his correct name, and
406
Jeezy: go forth and do the work, brother, that's all I can say.
407
Manny: Let the good Lord lead you around on the path that He has designed for you to go.
408
Jeezy: Yep, and and with that I'm glad you said that man, because that gives me a good segment.
409
Manny: He's on downhill from here. Y'a.
410
Jeezy: It's all down.
411
Manny: It's all down for me.
412
Jeezy: I will say that there's a lot of folks that need to let the Lord leave them, and particularly in a particular region, just when we, when we thought the region seemed relatively quiet, a devastating attack in Kashmir. And no, I'm not talking about the sweater has reunited tensions between 2 nuclear armed neighbors, and if you don't know who those
413
Jeezy: neighbors are, it is none other than India and Pakistan. They are once again staring down the barrel. They're at it again. So how did we get here? And who really is the blame for the events that happened so.
414
Manny: Europe.
415
Jeezy: For our listeners kind of give you a backstory
416
Jeezy: which is wild. I don't know what we got a couple of names that we've been stirring around to call this conflict. But I'm gonna leave that in the in the group.
417
Jeezy: But it seems, though, that it started around April 20 second there was an attack that happened, and the attack was apparently in India India's side of Kashmir, and the attack was apparently Pakistan back, but Pakistan denies the involvement, but Indian public and Media deemed retaliation. Somebody did something to India, and India said it was Pakistan. Pakistan said. It won't mean.
418
Jeezy: Then India launches an air strike and missile attack on camps in Pakistan control. Kashmir, just for those of you that don't know. I believe Kashmir is divided up into like 3 regions. I believe India has the most. Then you have Pakistan that has, like the northeastern region, and then somehow, another. China has a little bit of it which I would thought that was oddly.
419
Manny: That's weird.
420
Jeezy: It was weird, because Chad ain't saying nothing.
421
Manny: And it's like we just trying to be friends with everybody. Right?
422
Jeezy: Yeah, we we just trying to, we out here just chilling. So
423
Jeezy: in response to what India thought was a Pakistan attack, they responded with an attack of their own, claiming that they had took high militant casualties from from Pakistan. So then, of course, you would guess.
424
Jeezy: Pakistan responds, and they respond. And they strike Indian military positions. And basically it's a, it's a back and forth.
425
Manny: Operation. Sindor, I believe they called it.
426
Jeezy: Yep, yep, Operation Sendor, and then you have Pakistan's response, which was called Operation. Banyan probably said that wrong don't know.
427
Manny: Hold on, Paul. Did you say? Operation, bunion?
428
Jeezy: Yep, I'm American brother, like I can't.
429
Jeezy: I said it in the most American way possible. I'm not. I'm not even gonna try to fake the funk. Bro.
430
Jeezy: so in this back and forth
431
Jeezy: that's gone on. 1st of all, I want to ask you a question. Do you think India was justified in their response initially? Or do you think that they could have escalated this too quickly?
432
Manny: Well, first, st I'm going to take a pause, because we're not going to get out of this episode with us, appropriately assigning blame.
433
Manny: Yeah, I don't blame. I don't blame India.
434
Manny: I don't. I don't blame Pakistan.
435
Jeezy: Okay.
436
Manny: I don't even blame China.
437
Manny: If you realize there's a lot of problems caused over in that that hemisphere because of the English and the British and that Empire, and them drawing all of those lines, and that is, that's, I think, the the top of all this
438
Manny: because, you know, they haven't been able to draw the lines appropriately, and that's why we have the situation in Gaza. If you look at this when we talk about Kashmir, you have that breakdown there
439
Manny: now, in terms of
440
Manny: do I think the it's hard for me to really be in a position where I can say whether a response was
441
Manny: was at the level that it needed to be, or whether it should have been higher or whether it should have been lower.
442
Manny: But it is one of the it. It was a response. I think you can't have the initial terrorist attack
443
Manny: without some level of response, and I think it's crazy as an American for anyone to say. Oh, they responded too much. We responded to 9, 11 by completely leveling a country and then going after another. So yeah, woe on us if we say a response was was too much or too little. But I think as soon as you, if you're India and you launch that attack, you know there's going to be a response. So we shouldn't be that shocked. Now.
444
Manny: The shocking part of all this for me is how quickly this ended, or at least has has chilled out.
445
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah.
446
Manny: Quickly. Yeah, but I think that is kudos to the trump administration and other global powers, because they swooped in real fast.
447
Jeezy: Which I was surprised because we had.
448
Manny: Oh, we should.
449
Jeezy: From.
450
Manny: We should.
451
Jeezy: Jv.
452
Manny: I don't. I wouldn't have been so I here's why I was not surprised, because you have 2 people
453
Manny: with nuclear weapons.
454
Jeezy: Very true.
455
Manny: And this, and it could have got real bad for everybody real fast.
456
Jeezy: The reason why I thought that I was surprised was not from that stance. But you had Jd. Come out to what 2 days before the ceasefire, and was like, Yeah, this ain't none of our business. And I was like.
457
Jeezy: Yeah, it should be.
458
Manny: Anytime nukes are involved.
459
Jeezy: Yeah, you need to be, you need to.
460
Manny: It needs to be our anytime. If you look anytime, anybody with nukes gets involved anywhere, it's it becomes our business.
461
Jeezy: Well, that's what I thought was so odd, because and there's been a level of of concern with how this has been viewed, because, as you stated, Trump has kind of taken credit
462
Jeezy: for getting the ceasefire done, which I believe India acknowledged. But Pakistan was like, Yeah, no, he had nothing to do with it like.
463
Manny: We will, you know, most.
464
Jeezy: Yeah. And Pakistan both talked, and we and we we like made sure that we were like, All right, let's chill out.
465
Manny: Well, okay. So 1st off, modi is our guy. We know modi and trump are close.
466
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
467
Manny: Now, who knows? And you know, who knows? If Modi would have come to that table
468
Manny: had Trump not got on the phone with them. So maybe maybe Trump didn't speak to Pakistan.
469
Manny: but I'm almost certain he spoke with India.
470
Jeezy: Oh, oh, he definitely did, and I think that's why you maybe have 2 sides of the coin being spoken here.
471
Jeezy: But then, when I think about the way this plays out, because, initially from the initial attack, Pakistan said that they were not responsible for that initial attack. So it makes me think of. We've seen it before, where you have possible
472
Jeezy: groups of people that have done attacks like we've seen with Gaza, and we've seen that you know, the Hamas went in, but they weren't a representation of the people of Palestine.
473
Jeezy: So is it possible that the Pakistan backed group that started this? If the government of Pakistan is saying that they weren't responsible or had no involvement of this, you know. Is it possible that we see that you know this country is being affected by a group of people that are carrying something out without government knowledge. You know.
474
Manny: Right. I'm going to.
475
Jeezy: Brunt of something, and I didn't even have anything to do with it. Yeah, with somebody that maybe been from Pakistan. But that's not what we, as the country, as the Government, sought to do.
476
Manny: Or it could be. For all we know, one of those situations like Iran has where there's just militant groups that like.
477
Jeezy: Yeah be doing stuff
478
Jeezy: they they be, they be doing. They be getting their hands dirty. So Iran doesn't have to. Yeah, like, and
479
Jeezy: I see what you're saying, I think.
480
Jeezy: Go ahead.
481
Manny: So I think it's interesting here, like
482
Manny: I went and looked up. Who has more nukes? And if you look at the warhead Count India has about reportedly alleged. All these are alleged.
483
Jeezy: Allegedly.
484
Manny: Allegedly a hundred 60 warheads. Pakistan has a hundred 70 warheads, but most of the warheads that Pakistan has are short, Ranger tactical Nukes.
485
Manny: I think. Let's say for a second what Jd. Said was correct, that, hey? This is none of our business.
486
Jeezy: Yeah.
487
Manny: I know very soon, very like, right before we started hearing about the ceasefire, we also heard about China saying, Oh, I think we might get involved, and
488
Manny: we don't want. We don't want any of that, either. Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to see China showcasing any type of military force. I don't want to see anyone, any nuclear power having to showcase force in a situation where there are others nuclear powers. So I think that if
489
Manny: J. What Jd. Said is very clear and very much in line, he may not even talk to the President, and this could have just been one of those things where he was just carrying the America 1st line.
490
Jeezy: Yeah.
491
Manny: But someone got there shout out to the Ice Maiden, because if it's anyone it's probably her.
492
Jeezy: Don't you speak for it?
493
Manny: Right.
494
Manny: so, as far as we know it, it somebody got there and said, Hey, somebody make a call, because we we can't have it to go out. But you were saying.
495
Jeezy: So then it lets me.
496
Jeezy: It leads me to think that
497
Jeezy: if you have these groups and there could be a lack of government knowledge of these groups operating, but being identified, as you know, part of the country.
498
Jeezy: and you have Pakistan saying they're not involved. Could there be a sense, where there could be an intelligence, a lack of intelligence that could ultimately fuel something like this like, you know you think of. It's almost like a fight in school, you know. Somebody said that I said this, and then you approach me wanting to fight, and I had. I didn't say anything, but now I'm in the brunt of a situation and have them have and have to defend myself.
499
Jeezy: based off of a lack of intelligence of what actually happened. And we're talking about that level being on 2 nuclear neighbors.
500
Manny: And I think that is a valid point. But where I I would question that some is I.
501
Manny: If you are a militant group attacking another country from within your borders.
502
Manny: I would assume that you know what's going on within your borders, especially when it talks about another country who you historically hate.
503
Jeezy: Yeah.
504
Manny: So like I hear it. Yes, I think it's plausible. It's plausible. I just don't feel like that is like.
505
Jeezy: Likely. Yeah. Okay, well, at any rate, in a real yeah, they chill for now.
506
Jeezy: for now. But we we know how these ceasefires go.
507
Manny: Well, it happened. It happened almost immediately, like, Oh, ceasefire, hey? They're breaking the ceasefire like.
508
Jeezy: Yo.
509
Manny: Y'all give at least 1015 min, and let those last missiles hit the ground like.
510
Jeezy: Ceasefires. Don't never go, brother. I feel like they never go smooth, but like it's somebody that's always like. Oh, oh, I thought you meant that it was 12 Pm. Not 12 Am.
511
Manny: Sorry, my bad.
512
Jeezy: Far.
513
Jeezy: Yeah, we back in the fight. Oh, so.
514
Manny: We done? Okay, yeah, but.
515
Jeezy: So, at any rate, you know, in a region where history cast a long shadow, and one attack was all it took to plunge these 2 giants back into a dangerous dance again. We just got to hope that going forward that cooler heads prevail before we have another spark to this flame because we don't need. There's enough going on globally.
516
Manny: You. You gotta think that we that trump, or somebody in the Administration got on. It was probably Marco Rubio while he was going from one job to another who called China's equivalent. And it's like Bro. I'm tired of. I'm tired of. There's always being something we gotta do.
517
Jeezy: Bro.
518
Jeezy: And out of my.
519
Manny: If it ain't 1 thing, it's another. These Secretary of States across the across the world are just like, if it ain't 1 thing, it's another.
520
Jeezy: It's another Bro.
521
Jeezy: and before we move on, I just want to say this as Americans, it makes you. It makes you grateful
522
Jeezy: that we read about and see these conflicts that happen.
523
Jeezy: overseas, and we realize that we have the luxury to be able to not have this happen in our backyard, and that's a blessing to not have to worry about bombs flying and missiles flying over our heads. We had drones. We don't. We don't know exactly what that was about, but.
524
Manny: We just moved on.
525
Jeezy: We just moved on.
526
Manny: They're just drones.
527
Jeezy: Spy balloons like from from China, whatever that was about. But.
528
Manny: Just casually floating across.
529
Jeezy: Yeah, just flowing across Montana, like, okay. But it does. Every time I read things like this, it does make me feel grateful and blessed that we live in a country that this is not something that we have to live out in real time.
530
Manny: We don't actively have to worry about China.
531
Manny: I'm sorry we don't have to worry about Canada, yeah.
532
Manny: or Mexico invading this contrary contrary to some executive orders that say that we are being invaded.
533
Manny: We we don't really have to deal with this. We've we've never seen a foreign war here on us soil.
534
Jeezy: And I hope and pray that we never do.
535
Manny: Absolutely.
536
Jeezy: Well with that being said, that is our coverage of the India Pakistan conflict that is going on at the moment we.
537
Manny: Y'all chill out.
538
Manny: Y'all, too.
539
Jeezy: There gotta be something that y'all like in common a lot of times with enemies. You just gotta find that one thing in common that you like that. Both of y'all can be like, hey.
540
Jeezy: I know you like this, too.
541
Jeezy: Yeah, I didn't know you like this, too. Oh, you get down like that. We get down like that, too. Oh, we ain't that bad, after all, that y'all need one of them moments. But.
542
Manny: That's.
543
Jeezy: Just chill out, just chill out we, don't we? We need cooler heads to
544
Manny: Veil, yes.
545
Jeezy: So with that being said, we'll move on to our next segment, and.
546
Manny: Where we're also hoping.
547
Jeezy: We'll.
548
Manny: That cooler heads will provide.
549
Jeezy: Jesus Christ.
550
Manny: We.
551
Jeezy: Cooler heads to prevail on. There's some tariff action going on.
552
Jeezy: We had to get a theme music, because I feel like they're not going away. And they're a constant segment that we got to revisit. So we're gonna have to come up with something creative to introduce the tariff topics. But on May 8th Donald Trump, President Donald Trump and the Uk. Prime Minister announced a limited bilateral trade agreement. So hey?
553
Manny: Hey? We got to something.
554
Jeezy: We got somewhere in this trade agreement. Some key points from it was that there was a reduction in tariffs on British cars, and us ethanol and beef so shout out to the beef we getting from the Uk.
555
Jeezy: But the these trade talks didn't come without some limits which only 100,000 vehicles are allowed under the new tariff rate, and the Uk is required to restrict Chinese steel routing through its plants. And in this trade talk digital service taxes and pharmaceutical tariffs are still
556
Jeezy: unresolved. So in this deal that we have going on right now with between us and the UK.
557
Jeezy: Is it truly a win win deal.
558
Manny: No.
559
Jeezy: Okay, okay, I just wanna make sure that I felt I felt that way.
560
Manny: Oh, okay, maybe that was a little too negative. Maybe. I mean, kind of like, it's
561
Manny: we got one out of 200 done. So like we're, it's kind of like, you remember how like, when we were kids, we were downloading music on Napster.
562
Jeezy: Right.
563
Manny: You know, it got to 1%. Finally, I feel like, maybe maybe that's where at we're at 1%. But it's weird because
564
Manny: we had a trade surplus. We don't have a trade deficit with the UK.
565
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah.
566
Manny: They take more more of our stuff than they give to us. So everything my understanding is stuff still got a little bit more expensive for us, but.
567
Jeezy: Maybe.
568
Manny: Are either close to the same level, or maybe a little bit more expensive for them to ship over here. So I mean, I think if if your goal is eliminate, if Trump's goal and the Administration's goal is eliminating this trade deficit, why are you starting with a country where we have a trade surplus with, and maybe that's the plan we start with some of the easy countries, and then we'll work our way to China.
569
Jeezy: Yeah, I don't. I don't know how that that goes, particularly in the in the details. The limit on the vehicles under the new rate was confusing to me. Yeah, why are you capping it at
570
Jeezy: a hundred 1,000 vehicles? And you know, if I'm a British carmaker, I'm I'm I feel like you just screwed me
571
Jeezy: right?
572
Jeezy: So I mean in the. In some regard I feel like that may be some of the the cons of of this deal for for the Uk but ultimately I don't feel like
573
Jeezy: the objective or the the loudness of what trump is saying that he's going to do with these tariffs.
574
Jeezy: I'm assuming this is our 1st deal.
575
Manny: Yes, it's 1st one, and let me to also hit on. Why, it's pointless.
576
Manny: I'm sorry I'm sorry fax is fax.
577
Jeezy: How about you? Just away from saying, let me be less negative. And then, 5 min later, you call it just like what it is which I feel you.
578
Manny: The the UK. Exported approximately a hundred 6,000 cars to the United States
579
Manny: in 2024.
580
Jeezy: How many.
581
Manny: A 106,000.
582
Jeezy: So, Brad, you.
583
Manny: So the limit is is 6,000 fewer than they sent to Bro, like what? Okay?
584
Jeezy: Making these deals. Bro, the art, hey, Bro. We might have to get the book art of the deal. We might have to read it because there's got to be something that we've been.
585
Manny: I'm missing something. I'm sorry, but.
586
Jeezy: So this, this is so.
587
Jeezy: This doesn't in no way move the needle
588
Jeezy: in any way, shape, form, or fashion. Better for the American people I mean, not really like.
589
Manny: Maybe if you were in the market for a land Rover Jaguar Rolls, Royce, Austin, Martin, or a Mclaren
590
Manny: like maybe. Okay, cool.
591
Manny: But I look.
592
Manny: I just know what my! What my pockets say, that I should be appropriately driving.
593
Manny: And while I think I could.
594
Manny: I think I could probably purchase most of the vehicles on this list. Now I'd be struggling. These are still Uk cars.
595
Jeezy: Yep.
596
Manny: Bro, you're not. I'm you're not about to break my neck with a with a $400 oil change. No.
597
Jeezy: Oh, Bro, no no Bro.
598
Manny: Go ahead. Go ahead and bring me that Honda Toyota.
599
Manny: Oh, look! You gotta change your oil look. And I'm you know I'm rough on these cars.
600
Jeezy: Oh, Brad!
601
Manny: Maybe.
602
Jeezy: You gonna need about 5 $6,000 worth of work. So quick.
603
Manny: For the follower for all our listeners in college I had a light green dog stratus.
604
Jeezy: That stratus boy.
605
Manny: Boy that car.
606
Jeezy: Man. It ran them up and down to the roof.
607
Manny: Right the brakes.
608
Manny: Bro. I ran those breaks out, and it's not like, Oh, man, you took them to the organ. No, no, I took them to the them grinding, and then I took it until it stopped grinding.
609
Jeezy: Meaning bear, but you can hear many were coming in.
610
Manny: You know, like.
611
Jeezy: Come around that corner. It's like Yup, many home now.
612
Manny: Now, you know that was a time where I didn't have the resources right now.
613
Manny: God, Lord God is God is
614
Manny: good! He kept me, even when I couldn't keep myself when them breaks won't keep.
615
Jeezy: You at home, brother. God kept you.
616
Manny: But I see that red light red light had to stop a thousand feet back.
617
Jeezy: But the
618
Manny: The the driver's seat was broken.
619
Jeezy: Yep.
620
Manny: So I had a tire.
621
Jeezy: Had a time behind.
622
Manny: I didn't.
623
Jeezy: Environment, right.
624
Manny: Keep it propped up.
625
Jeezy: And I want y'all to know Manny Manny is is much taller than I am. So when we were living together, and I would, because I didn't have a vehicle, and I'd have to drive Manny car Bro, I'd be struggling, trying to reach these pedals with this broken seat, with this tire behind the seat, holding up my legs are not long enough to reach this pedal, and the brakes are bad. Bro. I'm in this.
626
Jeezy: I've been here. Bro.
627
Jeezy: Stoplight is like a hope and a prayer.
628
Manny: But maybe that's why our faith in the Lord is as strong.
629
Jeezy: He had to work overtime for us. Bro.
630
Manny: Being said. Uk cars are tend to be expensive.
631
Jeezy: Yep.
632
Manny: And even with the tariff there's only a certain buyer for these kinds of cars.
633
Jeezy: -
634
Manny: And as you heard with the list that I read off
635
Manny: the these people, if you, struggling
636
Manny: to be able to afford a Mclaren.
637
Jeezy: Yep.
638
Manny: Hey? You probably shouldn't be buying it. But if you if you're even thinking about seriously affording a Mclaren, this ain't nothing for you. This is a toy.
639
Manny: You're not financing financing a Mclaren. You're fine. If you're financing a Mclaren, it's because it's part of your strategy.
640
Manny: Not like I ain't got this. So
641
Manny: congrats on getting a trade deal done like with the Uk. Only, you know 199 more to go.
642
Jeezy: This feels like a participation award.
643
Manny: It does very much so very much so. Yep.
644
Jeezy: Well, I want to move on to another tariff talk that happened. That that could be way more catastrophic than what we're dealing with, or what we're worried about when it comes to the Uk.
645
Jeezy: As the Us. And China circle each other in. I believe they met this this past week in Geneva. Terrorists are towering, but talks are moving, I guess.
646
Jeezy: Should we be inching towards a deal, or do you think that we could be inching towards disaster?
647
Manny: The answer is, yes, we are obviously heading towards disaster. And
648
Manny: so. And I think we're inching towards a deal because we are inching towards disaster because it came out. That
649
Manny: ain't no ships left China for the west coast of the Us. In at least the last 12 h, and when I 1st heard that I was like, well, it's only 12 h until I dug further to realize that that hasn't happened since Covid. And I was like, oh, that's not good!
650
Jeezy: That is that, and we all know exactly how I felt when we had had to deal with the supply.
651
Manny: Toilet paper, war.
652
Jeezy: Brother, Jesus, man.
653
Manny: Like. So obviously, this is bad on us, but from my understanding, China's not out of the woods, either, because their factories that depend on us, purchasing and us being in their economy.
654
Manny: Like some of these, these factories are starting to suffer with some shutting down, some slowing down. You know them just not producing as much so like. Now in hindsight, you look back to all those Chinese Tiktok creators who are like, Hey, buy direct from us. This was not just them saying, Ha! Ha! Step around the middle man. They're like, no, if y'all stop purchasing stuff from us like directly we need that money to keep coming in.
655
Manny: So I think they're hurting, too. And as we're we're edging towards mutual disaster, it sounds like, at least with this summit that leadership on both sides have said, if we don't do something we're both gonna mess, both of us up
656
Manny: and neither of us want. Look.
657
Manny: I'm number one. You want to be number one cool, but if we both take each other out, neither of us is going to be number one.
658
Jeezy: Yep, and I think that is a excellent way to put it. China has deemed this is not. This is not about the economy at all. They believe that this is something much more, maybe trying to kind of.
659
Manny: It's a piss and match.
660
Jeezy: Yeah, a pits in Massachuse.
661
Jeezy: Some have also said that, could it, you know, with cutting tariffs on Chinese goods? Could it ease inflation? Or would it give Beijing more influence? You know I think this is very touchy. It has to be handled a certain way, and you know I think there has been some conversation where both sides could be at a boiling point at some point. If this is not handled correctly, and
662
Jeezy: cause much more of an issue than what needs to be done. And so I think that we should really, when you see the President putting so much focus on Canada and and Mexico, and even, you know, getting a deal done with Ukraine, I think I mean not Ukraine, the Uk I think that our our focus needs to be 100% on getting this deal worked out with China.
663
Manny: I mean, they're they're in our top 5 biggest exporters to the Us. So I yes, 1,000%. They are up there now. There are concerns around intellectual property that have persisted for years their issue with drug production that has. And and I say this because it's not lost on me
664
Manny: what American IP is lost to China because of things like that issues around Fentanyl production like, there are issues that we need to talk about now, did it take risking both countries economies to to actually have people get together to talk about it? I mean, probably not. But maybe it actually did
665
Manny: But there's been issues with China, and maybe some of these will be worked out. But
666
Manny: I think we also have to remember from the American side we are not dealing with the China. 50 years ago.
667
Jeezy: Oh, certainly not!
668
Manny: Like the
669
Manny: we we are dealing. I won't say an equal, but we are dealing with someone that has almost as much strength as us, if not more, in certain areas.
670
Manny: And ultimately, I think, the the Administration touting this plan to bring manufacturing jobs back over to the Us. Is not a long term feasible plan. Because right now, we have several 1 million jobs open in the manufacturing space
671
Manny: that currently aren't filled. So we obviously
672
Manny: need to figure out how to fill those before we're talking about other companies building giant infrastructures here to deal with that.
673
Manny: So I hope
674
Manny: cooler heads prevail. Trump described the negotiations as a total reset of us us China trade relations. So we'll see how this goes.
675
Manny: And yeah, y'all, y'all chill out on this toilet paper.
676
Manny: Maybe maybe we. Maybe this is what's going to kick off Americans starting to use bidets more.
677
Manny: But we'll find out on this season, as as the Us. Turns.
678
Jeezy: As a Us. Turn so hopefully.
679
Jeezy: in both of these situations. And and just in this terrible in this terror, tariff situation completely that things will work out and work out soon, and just like we said in the previous segment, that cooler heads will prevail in A and a workable, favorable deal for both sides will be done.
680
Jeezy: So.
681
Manny: Absolutely.
682
Jeezy: With that being said, we are at our favorite
683
Jeezy: segment of the of our episode, and that segment is none other than our pickle of the week we got your pickle.
684
Jeezy: We got your pickle.
685
Jeezy: We got your pickle.
686
Jeezy: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
687
Manny: Who's in the brine today.
688
Jeezy: The individual that we have in the brine today is
689
Jeezy: a villain in the eyes of President Donald Trump, and someone that he is nicknamed with the name Peekaboo.
690
Manny: Like like Kendrick Lamar's song, Peekaboo.
691
Jeezy: I thought about queuing that up, but I was like, you know, I'm a cheer. But Letitia Peekaboo James.
692
Jeezy: you know her as the Attorney General in New York.
693
Jeezy: It was reported on May 8th
694
Jeezy: That the FBI and the Us. Attorney's office in Albany had initiated a formal criminal investigation into the New York Attorney, General Peekaboo James.
695
Jeezy: The allegations against Miss James are, as such, James is accused of falsifying mortgage documents to obtain favorable loan terms for properties in Norfolk, Virginia, and Brooklyn, New York. Now the investigation was prompted by a referral from William Poult.
696
Jeezy: director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and guess who he was appointed by.
697
Manny: Joe Biden.
698
Jeezy: You be incorrect, brother? He was appointed.
699
Jeezy: He's a point by Donald Trump.
700
Manny: There! That's my second guess.
701
Jeezy: Peekaboo. James has has denied these allegations, and she is calling this politically motivated retaliation, particularly particularly in light of her previous legal actions against former President Donald Trump.
702
Jeezy: So.
703
Jeezy: while we have discussed in many, have viewed that with trump back in the White House that he has attacked and gone after a lot of people that have been against him in the past.
704
Jeezy: Peekaboo James, I hope that you are correct, and you are denying these allegations, that they are false, because
705
Jeezy: y'all you gotta do the right thing, man, you know.
706
Manny: Never know, dang.
707
Jeezy: You never! You never, never know so.
708
Manny: The block be hot.
709
Jeezy: Block, hey? Never know when the block is going to circle around, and it might get hot, so as I'm sure. And when they asked Trump about this. You know, he went on his rant, that she's just a disgusting and a horrible woman, and she's just
710
Jeezy: all these things that she's just terrible that she just adds such a foul and film to the State of New York, and ever since she's been Attorney General they just been such a decline, and it's just ridiculous the things he's done. She's done, and he's like, I'm not. I'm not surprised at any of this that she's done so.
711
Jeezy: you know, rule of thumbs her he hates.
712
Manny: The.
713
Jeezy: Which I just want to shout to to our listeners out there. I just want you to understand that if you don't know I'm educating you. That calling a black person. Peekaboo is a very racist term.
714
Manny: Extremely.
715
Jeezy: It is extremely theories
716
Jeezy: to call any black person peekaboo, and if you care enough to understand why is racist, I would advise you to go. Do your research and understand that a President or a former President of the United States should not be using term as such. But apparently it is okay. In the world.
717
Manny: 5. Mv.
718
Jeezy: That we live in.
719
Manny: It's 2025, and you know what rules matter. Now.
720
Jeezy: Nope, there are no rules. So
721
Jeezy: with that being said, I say peekaboo in all light of joke. But, Miss James, I hope that these.
722
Manny: Send paperwork, straight.
723
Jeezy: Got your paperwork in order, as we say in our community, and I hope that these allegations are erroneous on all accounts. So good luck to you legally.
724
Jeezy: and if they are, you need to hit up Eric Adam up.
725
Manny: Of Adams.
726
Jeezy: Figure out how he got off.
727
Jeezy: Maybe you can get somebody to do you a solid, but I would probably say that that is highly unlikely.
728
Manny: Not in this administration.
729
Jeezy: You pissed that man off with him, having to show up to them court cases and fall asleep, and just be miserable for the duration of that trial. So good luck, Miss James, and I hope that these allegations are false.
730
Manny: With that being said.
731
Jeezy: I got for you. I hope them houses in Norfolk and Brooklyn is nice now that one in Norfolk. If you buy the water now you might be hitting on something, and if things get a little tight and you want to put it up on Airbnb. Let the boys know here at the pod, and we, and we'll be glad to kind of.
732
Manny: Get you for a week.
733
Jeezy: Face it.
734
Jeezy: So that is my spotlight of the week. So, as you all know, as we have come to the conclusion or the end of our episode. We like to bring you our spotlights of the week. So my brother, what? What are your spotlights that you have for the week?
735
Manny: Well, 1st off, you know. Not only does the Catholic Church have a new leader in Pope Leo, the North Carolina Supreme Court is finally established.
736
Jeezy: Hey! Shout out!
737
Manny: On May 7, th Justin. Sorry, Jefferson Griffin conceded to Justice Allison Riggs, after a 6 month battle
738
Manny: over the votes in November.
739
Manny: setting up Allison Riggs to now take the seat for the next 8 years by having a margin of 734 votes out of 5.5 million.
740
Jeezy: That's wild. Bro.
741
Jeezy: This was. This was a.
742
Manny: I? Well, I think he had no point, no no choice but to kind of concede, because the Federal judges came in and said, Wrap this up.
743
Jeezy: Yeah, like, yeah, this is crazy, which we all felt that it was. It was.
744
Manny: It was starting to get ridiculous. So that that's my small one. But let's get to my big one.
745
Jeezy: Okay.
746
Manny: You know who in this current administration annoys me the most, and I was pretty sure who got picked on a whole bunch as a kid.
747
Jeezy: Hello, brother!
748
Manny: It is our deputy Chief of staff, Stephen Miller.
749
Jeezy: Oh, Bro.
750
Jeezy: he's he! He looked like he. He walks around with a vendetta because somebody kept would always slap his lunch tray out his hand.
751
Manny: Someone took his girl. Yeah.
752
Jeezy: And he ain't been the same.
753
Manny: He ain't been the same since man.
754
Manny: so he's in the he's the deputy like. I think that's what annoys me, too, like you. We never hear from the eye, and maybe that's why we hear from so much. Because the Ice Maiden's like I'm not talking to cameras. I got a country to run. But anyways, this
755
Jeezy: Individual.
756
Manny: Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
757
Jeezy: I got you, brother, I got you.
758
Manny: This individual decided to come out and essentially allude that the Us. Is potentially observing plans to suspend habeas corpus
759
Jeezy: Tell the listeners what what that is, brother.
760
Manny: Habeas corpus is a legal statute. Basically, it is the underpinning of democracy largely here in the Us. It's a legal right that protects people from being jailed without a reason.
761
Manny: and it's 1 of the things that we took from Europe as we came over here. Like. So this dates back to the Magna Carta.
762
Jeezy: Yeah.
763
Manny: So you can find habeas corpus in the Constitution. In Article one, section 9,
764
Manny: it essentially says, the privilege shall not be suspended. So here's the key part. The privilege should not be suspended unless when, in cases of rebellion or invasion and the public safety may require it. So basically.
765
Manny: what they're trying to do is. And it's also key to point out that a lot of habeas corpus cases and suits
766
Manny: don't win. You don't win them.
767
Jeezy: Yeah.
768
Manny: But they stall the the process especially here when we talk about right now. About people being deported. Yeah. So
769
Manny: oh, Stephen Miller
770
Manny: came out, and he argued that the current influx of migrants at the southern border could constitute an invasion, and potentially warranting such a suspension that would allow them to basically round people up.
771
Manny: hold them for no real cause or no real proven cause.
772
Manny: and send them out of the country with without due process.
773
Jeezy: Bro.
774
Manny: Now, before we go further, I think it is also key to point out.
775
Manny: because I don't know if anyone in this administration reads that talks to the media
776
Manny: habeas corpus can only be suspended by Congress.
777
Manny: So what is y'all talking about?
778
Jeezy: Why are y'all even talking.
779
Manny: Y'all talking about this.
780
Manny: It's like.
781
Manny: no, you don't have the ability to do this now, maybe this is a silent dog whistle to the people in Congress like, Hey! You should look at doing it. What invasion.
782
Manny: what invasion! I've I've.
783
Jeezy: Yes. Yes.
784
Jeezy: Dangerous. Bro.
785
Manny: But it's we got. So so we just not gonna care about the Constitution cool.
786
Jeezy: That's how we act. Man.
787
Manny: So a lot of legal experts widely dispute the the Administration's rationale around this, and again, such actions
788
Manny: are only permissible solely in instances of rebellion.
789
Manny: So just quick question that does not need to answer.
790
Manny: Could we have suspended it because of January 6? th
791
Manny: I'm I'm just asking. I'm just wondering. I'm just wondering. So that came out this weekend.
792
Manny: yeah. So set up Alex Miller.
793
Manny: like, you, you guys don't have this power and also undoing. This makes a whole lot of things bad for everybody else.
794
Manny: So yeah, those are my spotlights of the week. We told you guys it was all downhill after we finished talking about Pope Bobby, so
795
Manny: sure.
796
Jeezy: So I have. I have a couple that I'm gonna just run through real quick because I have a I have a breaking news one that I'm gonna I'm gonna do that I've just seen. Oh.
797
Jeezy: the 1st one I want to point out is Homeland Security's empty wallet.
798
Jeezy: it has been reported that they are projected to exhaust their funds. By July 2025
799
Jeezy: ice is reportedly 1 billion dollars over budget and the Fema.
800
Manny: But it's all good cause Doge is going to save us all these trillions right?
801
Jeezy: I'm glad you said that because I want our listeners to understand that Doge is the department of Government efficiency, and I want you to know that we have a govern. This is this is an this is an entity. This is a department that is not
802
Jeezy: functioning efficiently.
803
Jeezy: So they are planning to they at the rate they're going. They're gonna run out of money by 2025. So
804
Jeezy: that's 1 thing. The next thing is that the FBI's budget is in my mia
805
Jeezy: the FBI had a budget hearing this past week, and showed up with no budget.
806
Manny: Show up, show up to class without the homework.
807
Jeezy: You're supposed to present today. You came with no presentation. And you sitting here thinking, that's okay. Why? So the FBI has missed their legal legal deadline to submit their Fy 2026 budget director Patel initially criticized the proposed 10.1 budget as too low, and then he walked it back.
808
Jeezy: There has been a lot of fallout from both sides by bipartisan about why this isn't where it needs to be. And then the hearing they asked Patel. Like, when are we going to get it? And he's like we're working on it. And it's like you do realize that legally, you need to have it here
809
Jeezy: at this time, and that time has passed. And there's there's no accountability. So we have 2 government agencies that we already are seeing, not functioning in the manner in which they should, by individuals that had been deemed before they were confirmed as not qualified to run these departments. So it sounds like that ball of inefficiency is starting to get get rolling
810
Jeezy: and then I want to point out that it was reported that President Donald trump
811
Jeezy: maybe riding in some new luxury coming up. It has been reported that there may be a 400 million dollars gift from Qatar, the Qatar Royal family, which is a gold plated Boeing, 740, seven-eight jet that may be used, that trump may substitute and use as Air Force one. I have never heard of this ever happening
812
Jeezy: at all, and I think that this is the most wildest thing that when he, I believe he goes to Qatar this week, and he accepts this gift.
813
Jeezy: This will be
814
Jeezy: wild in my mind of a President accepting this from a foreign nation. We don't know if this plane is bugged. We don't know what's on this plane. We don't know.
815
Jeezy: And Air Force one is built to protect the President. Are we trusting the protection of a president, to a foreign nation.
816
Manny: Sure? Why not look.
817
Jeezy: But apparently it's supposed to be at some point
818
Jeezy: given to the President's like library or residential library.
819
Jeezy: Bro.
820
Manny: Now that's not uncommon. I I believe President Reagan, I think it is, has, like the Air Force one that he used the very 1st Air Force. One that was used is at that Presidential library.
821
Manny: But this is wild. So I did. I did do some quick looking, as of today.
822
Manny: One of the largest gifts that has ever been given to a president was a giant elephant tusk
823
Manny: from the King.
824
Jeezy: Oh, yeah.
825
Manny: Zali Swaziland.
826
Manny: Sure I don't.
827
Manny: Goodbye.
828
Manny: Yeah, you know you can look it up. Was given to George W. Bush.
829
Jeezy: Yeah, I remember that.
830
Manny: 61,000.
831
Jeezy: But that's a that's a big walk from that to.
832
Manny: And then the Saudi Arabia gave President Barack Obama a bejeweled sword valued at over 50,000.
833
Manny: So that's that's a mighty jump.
834
Manny: That is 61,000 to 400 million.
835
Manny: If I'm the Secret Service, I'm stressed out.
836
Jeezy: Oh, I'm definitely stressed out, and I believe this trip is supposed to take place between May the 13th through the 16.th So, as my spotlight. I think this just raises questions to in terms of ethics, optics, and just the role that foreign influence has in American politics. This sounds like this almost feels like an endorsement, because I don't believe that trump's getting this, and they're not getting something in return.
837
Manny: Well, and it was crazy. It was a couple of weeks ago. We didn't bring it up on a pod about quickly. Mention here there was a company that publicly said that they were doing a offering for their bond
838
Manny: and the purpose of the bond was to take that money and to buy the trump meme coin in order to get favor with the President.
839
Jeezy: Wow!
840
Manny: Like we've we've now we're starting to move beyond the phase of like people quietly trying to bribe the President
841
Manny: like Matt I again, for I'm sure this thing is nice.
842
Manny: like I would love to take a ride in a 400 million dollar palace that they call.
843
Jeezy: I'm sure.
844
Manny: Lying palace, but like I think, we forget that the again you said it.
845
Manny: Our Current Air Force ones have a bunch of stuff on them to help survive nuclear blast, evade firefights like to protect the President. Like, I think, the Air Force one has an entire
846
Manny: surgery and operating room on it.
847
Jeezy: Oh, wow!
848
Manny: Like, just in case something pop off. And we got they got to deal with something in the air like this is.
849
Manny: these are not normal planes, nor should they be so
850
Manny: again. Yeah, I'm not. If I'm the person
851
Manny: at the Secret Service or the FBI or the Nsa. I'm like they're going to have to take this plane. So if they want to use it.
852
Manny: they're going to have to take this plane apart.
853
Jeezy: Oh, bro for sure!
854
Manny: Get all that stuff back on. Get the stuff on there that needs to go on there for it to be Air force one even just a minimum at minimum. To make sure this thing isn't bugged
855
Manny: like they're literally.
856
Jeezy: And who would pay for all of that.
857
Manny: Well, we got it.
858
Manny: We got it. But like you're gonna have to tear apart the like, there's no way that we're we're. I'm putting the President on this flight on this plane
859
Manny: until we've taken it all the way apart.
860
Manny: I am talk. I'm like nuts like Boeing. Send your best engineers take this. I I want.
861
Jeezy: Or just get Elon to look at it.
862
Manny: Oh, yeah, that that'll work, too. Just run it through, Gork, and we should be good.
863
Jeezy: But.
864
Manny: Like they're gonna have to take about part. This entire plane, like every bolt, is gonna be counted for like, okay, this is what a standard? 7, 40. Why do you have that bolt there? I didn't know that was sitting there. No, why is that missing?
865
Manny: Good luck? Good luck! But if you're looking for a career in aviation engineering, you might have a project coming your way.
866
Jeezy: Yep, ear. Shortly, I would agree.
867
Jeezy: And lastly, as my breaking news, I just want to point out, it was recently at the recording of this episode tweeted by the White House, breaking news that the Us. Announces China trade deal in Geneva.
868
Manny: Oh, oh, this is breaking breaking news. See? I thought the I thought the plane one thing was your wow.
869
Jeezy: Oh, no, no, no, no! This it was just announced. While they we have no details. It appears that there will be a complete briefing tomorrow morning, which will be Monday. Alright, so.
870
Manny: We were wrong.
871
Jeezy: Yeah. So that's what's been released from the White House that a deal has been done.
872
Jeezy: So let's wait and see what the deal is once the details come out. But this is from the White House for immediate release.
873
Manny: Yeah.
874
Manny: Alright. Well.
875
Jeezy: We got a deal.
876
