41
Manny: Bruh.
42
Jeezy: He's been a little puffed up late, a little swollen.
43
Manny: Retaining water.
44
Jeezy: And retaining that fluid brother.
45

46
Manny: I'm surprised they came out with it.
47
Jeezy: I'm very surprised.
48
Manny: But you know what. I'm not shocked
49
Manny: because when those pictures started floating around
50
Manny: of the makeup on his hand.
51
Manny: and these are like legit photos that the White House released.
52
Jeezy: Well.
53
Manny: Which you got to say something.
54
Jeezy: You got to.
55
Manny: Trump like trump is like we might have to start looking at him like we look at big mama
56
Manny: yo leg, mommy, your legs.
57
Jeezy: Hey, Bro! The thing that had me weak about this, and for our listeners that don't know what we're talking about.
58
Jeezy: This is not a segment for us to even cover. We just kind of got here, but.
59
Manny: Like, like most things on this.
60
Jeezy: Like most things, but you know there was some release of that trump was having some swelling of the legs and bruising on his hands that he was covering up with makeup.
61
Jeezy: And he came out. And basically, they said, This is normal swelling for a person of his age that's in his legs, which we all seen big mama with a little retain a little water. If you, if you've seen big mama before, you've seen seen a little bit of swelling in our elderly people, but the hands is what got me. They said that I believe that it was from shaking hands and aspirin, and I said, Now, wait a minute.
62
Manny: That's that's a wild combo.
63
Jeezy: 1st of all, how much aspirin is this man taking? Why is he taking this much aspirin, and how many hands you got to shake for your hand to get bruised.
64
Manny: For somebody who, I know for a fact, does not like shaking hands with people.
65
Jeezy: Like, How often are you shaking? So I really try to put a number on this. And I'm like.
66
Jeezy: like, what at what point have I ever been like in a corporate meeting? And I felt like I've shook enough hands today, and I'm like
67
Jeezy: to me.
68
Manny: Out. Well, 1st off you have
69
Manny: cause. Yeah, cause 1st off for those you don't know. We we are both members of the greatest fraternity in the world. Alpha Phi alpha.
70
Jeezy: Oh Bruh!
71
Manny: And about 6 handshakes in. I'm done.
72
Jeezy: Jesus about 5 grips, I'm like, Hey, hey.
73
Manny: Yeah, yeah, I'm done. I'm done.
74
Jeezy: That's why I love that we've infamously came up with just walking in a room and just saying grips, grips, grips, grips! That's my handshake to everybody. Don't come up trying to shake hands and grip it, and all that stuff, and then.
75
Manny: Then it's like strategic for me. It's like strategic grips. It's like, okay. So if I shake his hand, his hand and his hand.
76
Jeezy: Yep.
77
Manny: And no, the no one has any problems.
78
Manny: Bruh? Good. Okay. Everyone's gonna everyone else. Gonna leave me alone. Yeah, you ain't got. Yes, I'm umbre umbre. Ask them. Ask them.
79
Manny: but he doesn't like shaking hands.
80
Manny: So I.
81
Jeezy: And I don't like shaking hands. How how is he shaking so many hands that his hands are becoming bruised.
82
Manny: Now there might be something else he's doing. That's the shaking of hands. But you know.
83
Jeezy: That's what I thought, I said. Now we need. We need a adolescent expert, an analysis.
84
Manny: Look. I don't seen how Melania treats him.
85
Manny: hey? Bro, so would not be shocking if he's doing a lot of shaking of hands.
86
Jeezy: Hands ain't the only thing he's shaking.
87
Jeezy: But yes, trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, and you said we we all don't seem big mama with the this, but you know what it also means.
88
Manny: Ain't very long till she going up yonder.
89
Jeezy: Bro.
90
Jeezy: I'm guessing.
91
Manny: Off her feet.
92
Manny: Go ahead and sit down, go ahead and.
93
Jeezy: Stroke I get off his feet.
94
Jeezy: Hey? All I'm saying is, I ain't never seen biden swell up. I have seen him fall.
95
Manny: But he got up.
96
Jeezy: But he got up with the swelling that trump got going on.
97
Jeezy: He might fall and not be able to get up.
98
Manny: Right people.
99
Jeezy: Realize. But Trump is a big man.
100

Jeezy: Right.
116
Manny: He's old.
117
Jeezy: Man of large stature.
118
Manny: There we go, and he's doing a lot of moving and shaking. And you know, I just wonder if they got him wearing compression socks, on, on Air Force.
119
Jeezy: Bruh. Yeah, like this would be a fantastic he loves to to plug. You know. He's a marketing genius.
120
Jeezy: Come out with the Mag, the Maga compression.

Jeezy: The Maga copper fish. Bro. I'm telling you if he's already selling gold blackberries, and he's already got all these other accessories that he's selling, hey? I'm a man of age.
123
Jeezy: If you got to wear the compression socks, why not have the greatest compression? Socks in American history make make compression socks great again.
124
Jeezy: I would do it. I'd lean into it. Bro.
125
Manny: Look if you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly.
126
Jeezy: Yeah, greatly, brother.
127
Manny: Go, go ahead and go ahead. And this is what it is. This is what it is.
128
Jeezy: Hey, Bro! Shout out to King Kankles, man hopefully. He get his condition underway, and we don't see a big mama situation where we got to call everybody in Big Mama. Big mama ain't looking good.
129

Jeezy: Big mama a couple hours we need to come. Come on in.
131
Jeezy: Come on, make your way.
132
Jeezy: Come on. Make you went to the hospital. Big mom ain't doing good.
133

134
Jeezy: How old is trump? Exactly, I forget.
135
Manny: Like 78.
136
Jeezy: Okay. I thought, I know he was 70 something, but I couldn't. Yeah, that's up there. Bro.
137
Manny: And the way he be eating. Mcdonald's the way he does like.
138
Jeezy: That might be what that might be, where that swelling coming from.
139
Manny: All, that's all. The that sodium retention.
140
Jeezy: Hey? You need to slow down with that Mac. Sauce? Bro, yeah. Well, anyway, anyway, we'll keep updating.
141
Manny: That was completely not a topic that we had planned. But here we are.
142
Jeezy: Here we are well welcome again to our listeners.
143
Jeezy: Thank you for tuning in to another episode of partner politics. So the 1st thing that we have on the docket for today is we have an update on the Epstein files.
144
Jeezy: doom, doom, doom doom doo doom doom.
145
Manny: So.
146
Jeezy: When we last left you in our previous episode
147
Jeezy: there were some some early droppings of the Epstein files, and how this was causing a bit of tension between the trump administration when you looked at Pam Bondi.
148
Jeezy: cash, Patel and bon Jovi.
149
Manny: Zeno.
150
Jeezy: The Zeno.
151
Jeezy: We didn't know if Benzino was going to return to work. We didn't know how Cash felt about it, but there seems to have been some updates that have caused this issue, which I believe Trump has been trying to kind of put away and kind of move away from.
152
Jeezy: There's been some recent updates that have come out that have have stirred the pot even more, brother. So what's some of those updates that we've gotten Mandy on this, on this Epstein file situation.
153
Manny: So apparently trump. And Benzino sat and had a had a chat and kind of calmed down. Say, hey, man, we're gonna get through this I don't know how yet.
154
Jeezy: I don't know how.
155
Manny: We, gonna we gonna do it, we gonna do it so so that has appeared to calm down. But we'll let's hit the the big things in in no particular order.
156
Manny: 1st you have that. There was a call. Actually, I don't let's start with this. The Wall Street Journal.
157
Jeezy: -Oh.
158
Manny: So behind the scenes the Wall Street Journal had apparently hit up the Trump administration and says, Hey, we got we got something we would like your take on before we go public with it.
159
Manny: And that was a letter
160
Manny: that trump had written to Jeffrey Epstein again, a man that he he barely knows allegedly but apparently
161
Manny: Glaxine Maxwell had compiled a letter I'm sorry, compiled a book of birthday letters, in 2023
162
Manny: for Epstein's birthday and trump, wrote one of those letters, and brah the the letters.
163
Manny: We're less than optimal.
164
Jeezy: Bro.
165
Manny: Apparently the the part of the have be. And we still at the release and recording of this podcast we, we have not seen the files.
166
Manny: but apparently there was some notes about. The secrets will stay between us, and he drew a picture
167
Manny: of of a naked woman on this letter.
168
Jeezy: Right.
169
Manny: And I'll start off 1st by saying I never took Trump to be much of a doodler.
170
Manny: but also but I also know he he don't be really paying attention to these meetings. So what else are you gonna do.
171
Jeezy: I mean. His signature looked like Doodle, so I can only imagine the type of work that he could put in on some construction paper.
172
Manny: Breath.
173
Manny: So the quote, and it's someone provided a voiceover says there must be more to life than having everything.
174
Manny: That's how it began happy birthday, and may every day be another wonderful secret that is wild.
175
Jeezy: That's a wild. That's brother. That's a wild.
176
Manny: That is later. Bro. What another wonderful secret.
177
Jeezy: Right when I when I have, when I have written happy birthday cards, I may say something along the lines of
178
Jeezy: happy birthday, may may you have many more, but happy birthday! May you get all that you deserve, and all.
179
Manny: Let's.
180
Jeezy: One and more.
181
Manny: Let the good times roll.
182
Jeezy: But I never have thought in my life happy birthday.
183
Manny: It may every day be another wonderful secret. I don't even know what that means.
184
Manny: I don't know, either, but you know what my birthday.
185
Manny: I'm all compass.
186
Manny: My!
187
Manny: There's no sweet.
188
Jeezy: And I will. I will not be writing you a letter with with a saying like that, because my moral compass won't even allow my brain to go beyond the fact of trying to comprehend what this means, but I know it don't mean nothing good.
189
Manny: Nothing good.
190
Jeezy: It's nothing good. And I think that they said also that
191
Jeezy: in the sketch of this naked woman that
192
Jeezy: the hair and below her waist region was his, was sketched as his signature.
193
Manny: That's why.
194
Jeezy: Wow!
195
Manny: When you look at.
196
Jeezy: I now can't even look at Trump's signature.
197
Jeezy: Say me to work.
198
Manny: Oh, that's wild.
199
Jeezy: That is wild. Bro. Y'all, Bro, I just want to say. But now.
200
Manny: Kudos for kudos for artistic, you know. Creativity, maybe, but that's wild.
201
Jeezy: Very well.
202
Manny: That's what.
203
Jeezy: And I just want to say, now these are all. This is a legend.
204
Manny: It's all I just.
205
Jeezy: Don't come after us. We're just reporting on what's what's allegedly been said.
206
Jeezy: But if any of the even even if
207
Jeezy: a fraction of this is true.
208
Jeezy: the whole thing don't even have to be true.
209
Jeezy: A fraction of this is true, but y'all some sick people.
210
Manny: We all really sick.
211
Jeezy: Yeah, okay.
212
Manny: I really sick? Well, and shockingly enough. I know this will shock most people is that he came out on trump, came out on truth, social, and said that it was a fake letter
213
Manny: that he did not compose, compose the note, or draw the picture.
214
Jeezy: Well, I know trump line, and I'm gonna tell you how I know he lied.
215
Manny: You know, you know he's lying.
216
Jeezy: Then, when in him, denying this trump, said, quote.
217
Jeezy: never wrote a picture in my life.
218
Jeezy: and when I saw that I said that sound like you lying.
219
Jeezy: but you don't write pictures. What is he talking.
220
Manny: Talking about.
221
Jeezy: Never. I never wrote a picture a day in my life. I say, yeah, he lied.
222
Manny: Somebody, totally.
223
Jeezy: I told a lie.
224
Manny: Well, he he apparently reached out to Rupert Murdoch and said, Hey, man, don't.
225
Jeezy: Was.
226
Manny: Now.
227
Jeezy: Rupert Rupert is the chief editor.
228
Manny: Yeah, he he owns the Wall Street Journal and a whole lot of other media.
229
Jeezy: Entities.
230
Manny: And basically basically, in all of that.
231
Manny: he was like, Hey, man, don't don't publish this. Don't publish this. This is not what you want. So.
232
Manny: Obviously word got out. There he filed. He followed a suit. But before we get to the suit, let's talk about Rupert Murdoch. For a second.
233
Jeezy: -Oh.
234
Manny: Because I got a theory.
235
Jeezy: -Oh!
236
Jeezy: Let's go! Let's go.
237
Manny: Whoa!
238
Manny: So so it was reported.
239
Manny: Several weeks ago that one Jebediah Dean Vance.
240
Jeezy: This is true.
241
Manny: Went down to visit old Rupert. Oh.
242
Jeezy: Oh!
243
Manny: And look anybody who's anybody who's planning on running for office.
244
Manny: On the Conservative side.
245
Manny: Is gonna probably go down, especially at this level. It's gonna head down to meet with Rupert.
246
Manny: To this day there's not. I don't believe there's been an official confirmation that that meeting has ever happened, nor the topic of said meeting.
247
Jeezy: Hmm.
248
Manny: But it's real interesting
249
Manny: that unless they just got these letters, which I don't believe is the case, I believe the Wall Street Journal's probably been sitting on these letters for a little bit now.
250
Manny: To to have that meeting and then now
251
Manny: for it to drop off. Now I know all this other stuff is happening, but then to drop it now it's mighty convenient.
252
Jeezy: Brad.
253
Manny: Is, is Trump's top, OP.
254
Manny: In his in his administration, and we just don't know it.
255
Jeezy: We got a mole we got a mold, so.
256
Manny: Yes, so we'll we'll watch that. But trump filed a lawsuit on July 18.th A Federal.
257
Jeezy: I know I know this lawsuit probably had to be at a at a ridiculous number, was.
258
Manny: Absolutely.
259
Jeezy: What's what's the lawsuit?
260
Manny: Absolutely. He's seeking at least 10 billion dollars.
261
Jeezy: But trump he do a lawsuit, but that.
262
Manny: He gonna pull a number bro
263
Manny: like, what like, how do you have 10 billion dollars of damages?
264
Jeezy: Right.
265
Manny: Why that?
266
Manny: Like that.
267
Jeezy: Release it like.
268
Manny: Already hurt 10 billion dollars.
269
Jeezy: I heard.
270
Manny: Bye.
271
Manny: if I was the if I was the defendant in this, I'm walking in here, and I'm I'm just going to say from from Gates.
272
Manny: I didn't say anything that a that I can't prove. So ignoring that. Let's say, let's say that I can't prove it, and I can.
273
Jeezy: -
274
Manny: Everyone already believes that you creepy pedophile like Bruh.
275
Manny: How did I defade you further by proving it.
276
Jeezy: And that's 1 thing that I don't understand is that
277
Jeezy: now I'm not accusing Trump of anything.
278
Manny: So we ain't got no proof.
279
Jeezy: Don't have. We have not seen the proof.
280
Jeezy: But if I got to go off just the man's tendencies period
281
Jeezy: as as a man with with 2 daughters and one on the way.
282
Jeezy: I have never envisioned myself ever, and can never envision myself, ever talking about any one of my daughters. The way that that man talked about Ivanka Bro.
283
Manny: Probably that's.
284
Jeezy: I don't care who you are. I don't care who you are. I don't. Even that ain't even funny to me.
285
Jeezy: and I have. I believe all of my children are are beautiful girls, and I'm sure that my my newborn that's on the way. Come, October, will be a beautiful girl as well. But the
286
Jeezy: the way I look at my daughters as a dad I never can look at my daughters and be like.
287
Jeezy: Oh, yeah, if if she was older I could date her. What.
288
Manny: That's.
289
Jeezy: One second.
290
Manny: Same statement.
291
Jeezy: Wild.
292
Manny: Insane, state.
293
Jeezy: So if even if these things aren't true.
294
Manny: Brother, Matt.
295
Jeezy: You got you got you got a you got a little bit of diddler in you.
296
Jeezy: You got you got a little tab bit of a denim.
297
Manny: And all that aside. I do wonder how some of these things are going to end up playing playing out together.
298
Manny: Like.
299
Jeezy: -
300
Manny: Is there a world where Diddy and Epstein and Trump all partied together?
301
Manny: They all from New York.
302
Jeezy: All possible.
303
Manny: There's enough money there where I.
304
Jeezy: Right, so.
305
Manny: He filed suit.
306
Jeezy: Of, of course, but but I believe that in him filing that suit
307
Jeezy: he's kind of reversed course a little bit. If I'm not mistaken.
308
Manny: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, he's the Doj has moved to unseal grand jury transcripts. So
309
Manny: Pam Bondi put in a request to unseal the grand jury testimony from the 2019 sex trafficking case citing public interest, and they emphasized redaction to protect victims. Identities to my understanding trump called bondi, and was like, Hey, go, give him something. Give him some. Shut him up.
310
Manny: And yeah, like, Okay, testimony is great. But what's
311
Manny: what? What aren't you giving us.
312
Jeezy: But I there seems to be.
313
Jeezy: Brother, there seems to be a level of hushing up here
314
Jeezy: that they're trying to accomplish, because
315
Jeezy: at the end of the day.
316
Jeezy: If this is just unsealing, the grand jury test transcripts.
317
Manny: What other aspects of this case? Why not just release the whole thing minus the name of the victims?
318
Manny: Where are the flight logs.
319
Jeezy: Bruh! Don't tell me.
320
Manny: Who was on this plane.
321
Jeezy: Hey?
322
Jeezy: I know that they they're lying Bro. If they trying to tell us that they don't have that information.
323
Manny: They absolutely have it.
324
Jeezy: Go get Maxine Congress. Just say, Hey! You want to bring her forward for testimony.
325
Manny: As soon as this came out. Y'all I hit up jeez and was like they are trying to now. They're going through the stages. They're like, how much information can we release to get to get them to stop talking about this, but not get ourselves in trouble? And then Trump said himself. Nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and Radical left lunatics.
326
Jeezy: But the thing is, how is the Radical left lunatics where you campaigned on this.
327
Manny: You campaigned on.
328
Jeezy: So so now.
329
Manny: You and your.
330
Jeezy: Holding you accountable for what you said you was going to do now, all of a sudden it's a left thing. Oh, the left is the one that's wearing all your your people talked about this, too, and I think that my thing is, if you have nothing to hide.
331
Jeezy: just release it minus the victims
332
Jeezy: that has to be taken into consideration.
333
Jeezy: But other than that, I want them to. I heard somebody say on another podcast this week, I want them to release all this stuff just like they had no problem releasing all the details when it came to Diddy. Treat it the same way. We know. We know all about.
334
Manny: All of them.
335
Jeezy: Bro. We know everything we know did it from the cases of baby oil to when the what's the
336
Jeezy: the hajib with.
337
Jeezy: Fitted on butt naked, like we Bro. We we know everything about Diddy's situation. Why can't we do the same with Epstein?
338
Manny: I. If I'm them, I think they are going to try to very carefully and strategically
339
Manny: walk around the fact, because I know it exists in Boston.
340
Manny: but I don't know if it exists in
341
Manny: well in Federal court. So you know, with Aaron Hernandez. Yeah, technically, Aaron Hernandez is an innocent man.
342
Manny: because the law says, at least in Massachusetts, that you can't try someone criminally.
343
Manny: So if someone dies in the middle of their, the process.
344
Jeezy: Yeah.
345
Manny: Then
346
Manny: the attorneys for that person can file, and they did. In this case they can file and say, Hey, we want all these charges dropped.
347
Manny: and now, by doing that he is Anna Hernandez was an innocent man. Therefore the New and New England patriots still had to pay out part of his contract.
348
Jeezy: -
349
Manny: I don't know if that's part of the case here being that Epstein died before he ever officially went on trial.
350
Manny: But to back to your point.
351
Jeezy: I keep forgetting that he never went on trial. Bro.
352
Manny: Yeah.
353
Jeezy: Wow, bro.
354
Manny: Only the court of public of opinion.
355
Jeezy: Bro, wild.
356
Manny: So.
357
Jeezy: Now now, with with that bit of detail before you keep going, that that leads me to continue to believe brother
358
Jeezy: might not have been a suicide.
359
Jeezy: that's all. That's all I'm saying.
360
Jeezy: brother, I think I think I lost you.
361
Manny: That's cause I'm on mute, man.
362
Jeezy: I was like I was trying to give you the signal like I can't hear you.
363
Manny: So
364
Manny: 3 min were missing from the videos that they released. 3 min is enough of a time to be able to to do whatever you needed to do. If the people are truly as powerful
365
Manny: as people who are alleged to be on this list.
366
Jeezy: 3 min is a long time. Bro. You know how many times I've heard, my mama said. Make sure you take the meat out the fridge, and I've forgotten I heard that car pull in the drive.
367
Manny: I'm waiting within.
368
Jeezy: What they.
369
Manny: I'll be. I'll be home in an hour. I blink I end up.
370
Jeezy: Cacaobra.
371
Manny: But on a side note. I also now understand that as an adult the frustration.
372
Jeezy: Of food.
373
Manny: Of not having to meet out of the fridge, so you can make dinner. I get it.
374
Manny: That will ruin your whole day.
375
Manny: Bro. Because now what you gonna do, you gotta go get food. Now.
376
Jeezy: I gotta go back out into the world that I didn't want to be in. In the 1st place.
377
Manny: Or we bought our cereal.
378
Jeezy: Right, right.
379
Manny: Look, and in my house we didn't get to open multiple bags of cereal. Oh, one box at a time. I don't care if you. You don't want fruit loops. You want a cinnamon test crunch.
380
Jeezy: I used to get tight when my grandma would open up the raisin brand first, st brother, come on, now.
381
Manny: We gotta work like that. We gotta work through this raisin brand.
382
Manny: So yeah, so so it keeps bouncing around from the lawsuit somewhere between 10 billion upwards of 20 billion. So I don't think anyone actually knows how much this lawsuit's going to be for
383
Manny: but yeah, this has not gone well, though, because a you
384
Manny: there was a statement that someone told me very early on in politics, and that is, politics creates very, very strange bedfellows, and we're having that.
385
Manny: So I'm I'm here, and the other one here. In politics there are no forever friends or permanent enemies. So now what we have is a bipartisan group
386
Manny: of Congressional members. So you have Thomas Massey Lauren, Bobert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, co-sponsoring a resolution
387
Manny: for that, says Pan body release all the release, all of it. Don't, don't just give us a little bit. And then you also have
388
Manny: people on the Democratic side, being rogue Karna Mark Vesey and Jamie Raskin also trying to do the same.
389
Manny: So now you have. You have bipartisan support. That something doesn't smell right here.
390
Manny: and you know what it doesn't.
391
Jeezy: But oh, yeah, they're not wrong, like something ain't right.
392
Manny: And they're trying to like work through the messaging. But there is no real messaging that you can kind of work through this.
393
Jeezy: Can do is release it, and let the public decide.
394
Manny: Some. Somebody said once, you remember when the Government used to work hard to try to lie to us.
395
Jeezy: Bruh, not anymore.
396
Manny: Not anymore. They're just like, no, that didn't happen what you mean. This thing happened. I just seen it happen, and you can't pay. And I think that's what makes it worse.
397
Jeezy: Yeah.
398
Manny: You campaigned on it, and it's wild.
399
Jeezy: Yep.
400
Manny: So if trump assuming trump, is on the list.
401
Manny: and you gotta also assume if trump is on the list. Trump knows he's on the list.
402
Jeezy: Oh, yeah.
403
Manny: Why would you have all of your people out here talking about this list while you know
404
Manny: that you on the list, brother Matt.
405
Jeezy: Right.
406
Manny: Like, did you just think this was gonna go away.
407
Jeezy: Bro like like the great cartoon, ran and stimpy. Stimpy, you idiot!
408
Jeezy: Right if I know that I did something I'm not about to throw no rock and hide my hands and act like that. I have no parts in it.
409
Manny: But here come the freedom of Information Acts.
410
Jeezy: Hmm.
411
Manny: And I think that's as it's gonna continue to get more and more hairy.
412
Manny: So that information, I I believe that request is now sitting before the judge.
413
Manny: for sign off before they can release it.
414
Manny: But I love Kash Patel coming out there, and he's like we were wrong. There is no list, and we're just like
415
Manny: Sir.
416
Jeezy: Sir, your food. You can't get food again.
417
Manny: Well, I'm also wondering if they're trying to mince words. Now
418
Manny: you there may not be in a list there. There may not be a piece of paper
419
Manny: that Epstein had had, that said all the powerful people who came to my island and did freaky things list.
420
Manny: There is probably not a piece of paper that says that you know what you are 100% right.
421
Manny: But you got flight logs.
422
Manny: You got faa information about who's flying towards that? You got flight plans, you know, who at least was on this island.
423
Jeezy: It might not be a physical list like you said, but if you put, if you put 2 and 2 together, or we can come up with a list.
424
Jeezy: We can come up with a list.
425
Manny: And I just don't know how he quiets everything.
426
Jeezy: Yeah.
427
Manny: Because I don't. I don't think there is a unless something major happens.
428
Jeezy: Which is going to take something really, Major, because, as we've talked about previously in our group, chat
429
Jeezy: is that it seems like there's things that are going on around this, but nobody's talking about them.
430
Manny: We just like anyways even simple things that would have garnered
431
Manny: garnered emotion or news. We withdrew. The Us. Withdrew. 2,000 people, not 2,000 people, 2,000 State guards, guardsmen from La.
432
Jeezy: Yep!
433
Jeezy: Cricket.
434
Manny: Nothing.
435
Manny: nothing whatsoever. You have rfk, dismantling the vaccine oversight? Nothing. You have 1,800 people laid off from the Department of Education, 0.
436
Jeezy: Yep.
437
Manny: You had Israel.
438
Jeezy: Yep.
439
Manny: Strike not like warring areas of Syria struck in Damascus. Their version of the Pentagon.
440
Jeezy: Yep.
441
Manny: Nothing nothing.
442
Jeezy: Nothing.
443
Manny: We? Said, Nope, we are locked in on this.
444
Jeezy: We got action.
445
Jeezy: No, we ain't. Leaving our seat on this one.
446
Manny: No, they're like, no, no, we got.
447
Jeezy: Awesome.
448
Manny: Appreciate that segue, and let's come right back here to what we were talking to.
449
Jeezy: Yep, and I like.
450
Manny: Nothing, nothing whatsoever, and we're getting ready to talk about. In our next segment. The Doge cuts getting codified.
451
Jeezy: Yep.
452
Manny: Nothing.
453
Jeezy: Nothing.
454
Manny: We want to know what's on these papers. Give us the list, Donnie.
455
Jeezy: Yep, and that's the only thing you can do. And I think that even in doing this.
456
Jeezy: this whole notion that he puts out there. Well, the public! Everybody's not going to be happy. He's saying that because he knows.
457
Manny: Because he's part of the public, and he's going to be the one that's not going to be happy. The people on that list not gonna be happy.
458
Manny: Not gonna be happy.
459
Jeezy: The only way that this goes away is that you just got to release it. If you really want to put this to bed, just release it.
460
Manny: Just give us the list, man.
461
Jeezy: Know that with the protection of the victims, which ain't hard to do, which ain't hard to do at all, it can be done.
462
Jeezy: Release.
463
Jeezy: Show us what you have, and then let the the court of public opinion do its thing.
464
Manny: It would not shock me if at some point this doesn't die off in the next 2 weeks, that some version of the list yeah, makes its way to the public that is highly redacted. That is almost like, Okay.
465
Jeezy: So much sharpie on that I can't even read it.
466
Manny: But it's it's gonna be like Chris Tucker, Bob Williams. It's gonna be John.
467
Jeezy: Harvin Weinstein.
468
Jeezy: It's gonna be stuck. It's gonna be.
469
Manny: We are in.
470
Jeezy: People we already knew.
471
Manny: Already doing some time for it. That's gonna be the names on the list.
472
Jeezy: Yep.
473
Manny: But it's still not gonna work like, I. I think we are at a rough place because everything
474
Manny: everyone is just focused with Trump's name on the list.
475
Manny: Like so anything short. And there's other reports that are flowing out right now is that trump's name
476
Manny: is all over. These documents.
477
Jeezy: Broad.
478
Manny: Like it's not like even before all this started, like we knew they were cool.
479
Manny: but I thought it was like passing cool like, hey? You know, like we're we'll link up, you know. I'll come out to the island, you know, cause I know what you do out there. I'm trying to come. Do what I do on your island, where you do what you do.
480
Manny: where? And I thought it was like a transactional relationship that that someone has with their drug dealer. That's how I envision this relationship. Now it appears like they boys.
481
Jeezy: Bruh.
482
Manny: There there was a there.
483
Jeezy: You know freaky ziggy gonna make sure he he where the freaks is at now.
484
Manny: Bruh. There. I saw it yesterday. There was a report that was out there. That trump threw a party at Mar-a-lago.
485
Manny: With all of these, you know, models and bathing suits. And he told, you know, all the women that were going to be there. Yeah, we're inviting all these vips and whatnot.
486
Manny: There was only one other person he invited, and that was Jeffrey Epste.
487
Jeezy: Bro.
488
Manny: Which is wild, wild, if true.
489
Jeezy: Freezing.
490
Manny: Wild bro, fan.
491
Jeezy: Whole lot of fans.
492
Manny: Out there but a whole lot of fans.
493
Jeezy: But I think that with the level of caution he has towards this and trump is a person that to me I feel like he wears his emotions on his sleeve.
494
Jeezy: So when something when something's getting to them, you can tell.
495
Jeezy: and I think that it was very telling. A couple of weeks ago, when we saw that that interview where they were having a meeting at the White House, and someone was asking Pam Bondi the question about the Epstein files and the level of frustration he had, and we talked about it. The level of frustration he had was telling to me.
496
Manny: Absolutely.
497
Jeezy: And if you really want this to go away, you could just tell Pam Pam release the file, redact it to save the victims and let it be done, and we'd be over it.
498
Manny: But he knows he's all in like. Think about it for a second. We spent
499
Manny: 6 min to start this podcast. Talking about trump's health that absent this whole Epstein thing we'd be on. We'd be talking about that for a minute that came out, and we said, Oh, he's old. We knew that.
500
Jeezy: Are you?
501
Manny: Got back and got back on subject. I have never seen the American people in my lifetime on task like they are with these Epstein.
502
Jeezy: This is the 1st time in a while
503
Jeezy: that we've had the unity we've had on both sides of the aisle to say, Hey.
504
Jeezy: let's release it. Let's see what's what's going on, which I think a lot of it sparks to to how we as Americans, we just we like drama.
505
Manny: We love us in drama and.
506
Jeezy: When he said, He's a star, he's a celebrity, and you know all these things. So, hey, I mean trump, you want to be in the limelight. Let's go.
507
Manny: So I wonder Jeez.
508
Jeezy: -Oh!
509
Jeezy: -Oh!
510
Jeezy: -Oh! Let's go.
511
Manny: T.
512
Jeezy: Let's go.
513
Manny: So we talked about it very, very briefly in our er one of our early early episodes.
514
Jeezy: Okay.
515
Manny: About whether Trump would pardon himself.
516
Manny: So we already know that Jd. Been mighty quiet on this. Marco been mighty quiet.
517
Manny: Mike Johnson has already come out and said, Yeah, we we probably should know what's in these files.
518
Jeezy: Yep.
519
Manny: Could we see a Nixon like situation.
520
Manny: Because eventually, I think at this point we would be stupid
521
Manny: as as compromised as our governmental data is, especially after Doge.
522
Jeezy: Yep, these files are going to hit the light of day. Oh, oh, for sure!
523
Manny: It's a for me. I think it ends up being a matter of when, not if, and if trump is on these files, the way that it is talked about. Him being on these files
524
Manny: does trump resign, and is his last action as President, pardoning himself.
525
Jeezy: I definitely can see it.
526
Jeezy: I would be absolutely shocked if that
527
Jeezy: if if that scenario happened that he did not do that.
528
Jeezy: I can definitely see him doing that, and I think that he would also extend it to those that he that he knows.
529
Manny: That he knows.
530
Jeezy: So on that list.
531
Jeezy: I can see him giving that blanket pardon to all of them.
532
Manny: In the same way that Biden did it.
533
Jeezy: And yeah.
534
Jeezy: And when it when Biden did it and opened the door, it made me think, Okay.
535
Jeezy: I don't see how in the world. Trump does not do the same thing.
536
Manny: Well, even looking back, so was it 2 weeks ago. The whole use of Biden's use of auto PIN for those unconditional pardons. Those came out.
537
Manny: Went away. We we had not heard about it in the in these last 2 weeks.
538
Jeezy: Yeah.
539
Manny: You got you got Jd. Out there, starting to meet with people quietly
540
Manny: got the big hitters in his or in the administration, being real quiet
541
Manny: are, are the are the ships on the Titanic
542
Manny: being shifted, and that people started making their way to the lifeboats.
543
Jeezy: Well, I don't know if they're making their way to the lifeboat, but I definitely hear them violins playing.
544
Jeezy: The band is playing.
545
Manny: I wonder how many people on the Titanic ultimately felt, saw the iceberg, and said, Hmm!
546
Manny: Icebergs are pretty big. We're pretty close to that.
547
Jeezy: Brett.
548
Manny: What's going on. But I'm gonna go stand right here, so I can be the 1st one on this lifeboat.
549
Jeezy: Well, I don't. I'm I hate to say it.
550
Jeezy: But I don't know how many of those people that was on that Titanic were believers in Christ or not, because when the when the the architect
551
Jeezy: of the Titanic said that not even God could destroy this.
552
Manny: I'd cancel my ticket right then.
553
Jeezy: Bro, absolutely not.
554
Jeezy: We're canceling.
555
Manny: No.
556
Jeezy: So darn fast.
557
Manny: Oh no!
558
Jeezy: You said what? Oh, yeah, no, oh, no! Getting up off that thing. You ain't about to play with me like that.
559
Manny: Play with yourself. Don't play with me
560
Manny: when it. When he said that that would have been my 1st sign. Oh, it's for me! As for me and mines, we serve the Lord.
561
Jeezy: We getting up off this boat.
562
Manny: Look, there was a story where Old Man was talking to a young kid at Sunday school talking about hey? I will give you a dollar or something like that, if you could tell me
563
Manny: everything that God can do. And the little boy looks back at him and says, Sir, I'll give you $20 if you can tell me something God can't do.
564
Jeezy: Hmm.
565
Manny: Oops!
566
Jeezy: Know that's real.
567
Manny: But though, yeah, the way I would have canceled that with the utmost quickness that could be
568
Manny: making my way onto the boat, and said, Oh, no, look!
569
Manny: I guess I got guys. I got Covid.
570
Jeezy: Y'all heard y'all heard what the guy said about the boat. Oh, no, no! What did he say? Oh, he said, not even God, boy before they would have took that ramp off that boat, I would have jumped in the water. I forgot.
571
Manny: Wallet. I forgot my.
572
Jeezy: I'll rip my ticket up, sir. I don't even have a ticket. I'm on illegally.
573
Manny: I need to be banished off this boat right now, before we leave New York.
574
Jeezy: Ain't no way. Bro. Nope, it would have gotten that news of that titanic suck and been like
575
Manny: Yep.
576
Jeezy: That would you get for playing with God.
577
Jeezy: Right.
578
Manny: But trump's in the pickle man.
579
Jeezy: Hey, Bro, he is. He's definitely in the pickle man. I don't know how he.
580
Jeezy: Donnie Donnie has died some bullets. Bro. I mean pun. No pun whatever
581
Jeezy: you take half. I don't know if you saw the report about that. Brother ain't talking about that.
582
Manny: But I don't.
583
Manny: That's another podcast. Another day. I don't know.
584
Jeezy: I don't know if you've seen it. But all all I'm gonna do is just do this. I'm just gonna do it one time. Bro.
585
Jeezy: I ain't gonna give you the whole thing the whole thing, man, I'm just saying.
586
Jeezy: But that that 1st of all hold on! That was wild pause.
587
Manny: Oh.
588
Manny: oh! That was egregious!
589
Jeezy: I don't know.
590
Jeezy: Erroneous on all counts.
591
Jeezy: Yeah, Bruh.
592
Manny: But I'm just gonna give you a little bit not the whole. That's why.
593
Jeezy: I see the Tiktok video with this. This pastor said that you know somebody told me, you know, to be like subway and give you instead of giving you the foot long, he said. I'm gonna cut it in half and give you 6 inches now, and 6 inches later on, at the evening service, he said. But no, I'm gonna give you the whole 12 the whole 12 inches right now.
594
Manny: How far you.
595
Jeezy: Hey, Bro, I'd have got up on that chair and be like, yeah. Bro, you island on this Sunday.
596
Manny: But I I still remember I won't say the pastor's full name for the.
597
Manny: But when this one pastor
598
Manny: came out and said, women. I need you to be freaks and hoes in the bed for your husband.
599
Manny: Comparable moment.
600
Jeezy: But not not from the pool pit. You ain't supposed to say that.
601
Jeezy: but but we but we digress.
602
Manny: Yes.
603
Jeezy: Trump trump's in a pickle.
604
Jeezy: and somehow another. All this ties into him I don't know. I don't know how, but somehow, King Kankles, he's dodged a couple of bullets before, but I don't know if he's going to dodge this one. I think that he's just got to.
605
Manny: I think too many people are unified.
606
Jeezy: Too many. Bro, but that's you get.
607
Jeezy: That's what you get, as my daughter say.
608
Manny: That's what you get.
609
Jeezy: Should have kept your mouth shut. Talking about what you were going to do. You made a little too many. You made one too many campaign promises. And now you got to stick on this one.
610
Manny: But flew a little too close to the sun.
611
Jeezy: Hey? That's what you get.
612
Jeezy: Will.
613
Manny: Well.
614
Jeezy: See what happens with King Kankles and Epstein files. So
615
Jeezy: with that being said as you already alluded to, we have some doge action going on. So looks like there's been some voting going on, some approvals and whatnot going on as far as the Doge recession. So what's our updates on that, brother. What's the details on what we got going on with Doge.
616
Manny: Yeah. So Doge advises cuts. But there was a good portion of the cuts had to officially be done by Congress, and these things went before Congress this week, and what ultimately happened is Congress approved 9 billion
617
Jeezy: Jesus.
618
Manny: 9 billion in cuts, and where none of this is shocking.
619
Manny: From where we started, I'm actually just shocked that we actually that it actually happened.
620
Jeezy: Now now with with those, with those that 9 billion was it? Was it voted on and approved by the House and the Senate.
621
Manny: Yep, both sides. Yep.
622
Manny: So what what's in the cut? So 8 billion was cut from foreign aid. And we knew that. And those were cut from global assistance programs that were being facilitated through Usaid. Scaling back HIV and Aids help maternal health malaria, tuberculos.
623
Jeezy: You're eating out.
624
Manny: Tuberculosis.
625
Manny: But I almost said tuberculocus, and I was like, what
626
Manny: what in the Biblical plagues and food.
627
Jeezy: Hmm.
628
Jeezy: And before you, before you continue, I think I also heard something where? Well, I was reading something that a lot of the food that they had, and a lot of the contraceptives that they had, instead of giving it to these countries. Essentially, it was sitting. And basically they just had to incinerate and burn it because they've gone bad, which I think is, is to me
629
Jeezy: a complete waste. Because, let's say you're not sending it to these countries
630
Jeezy: for aid. Why not use them?
631
Jeezy: Certainly not. Let them go to waste and incinerate them. Why not? We have a homeless crisis here in America.
632
Jeezy: Why not provide some of those things and those resources with the people that we have that need it here, instead of just burning it up. If we have
633
Jeezy: all these resources? Why let them go to waste that way just because they were intended for someone else or for another another purpose.
634
Manny: No, exactly. I think you're spot on like there's there's being wasteful.
635
Manny: And then what there's there's being wasteful
636
Jeezy: Bro. I feel like it's downright evil. I mean, I'm just. That's just my take. But.
637
Manny: It.
638
Manny: I mean, I'm trying to get the exact number, because, yeah, it was.
639
Manny: There it is. 1,000 metric tons of food was destroyed.
640
Jeezy: Borough.
641
Manny: And this is where I want to point out that
642
Manny: people be using numbers very specifically.
643
Manny: 1,000 tons of food does not sound that bad.
644
Manny: But you know, what does sound bad?
645
Manny: 200. Is it 200 million? Yeah, 200 million pounds of food.
646
Jeezy: Bruh.
647
Manny: Destroyed.
648
Jeezy: That's a lot.
649
Manny: Insane, insane. And let's also be
650
Manny: cognitive of, you know my own personal view of of aid, especially in food aid. When you have a starving population, people will begin to do anything for food, to feed their families and take care of their communities. We give aid
651
Manny: because it is cheaper.
652
Manny: This is where this is where I'm this is where my conservative ship lies in terms of. There is cutting, wasteful spending.
653
Jeezy: Yeah.
654
Manny: And then there's investing in populations. So it's not more expensive later on.
655
Manny: If us just providing food for these countries means they remain stable.
656
Jeezy: Yep.
657
Manny: So we don't have to militarily
658
Manny: to risk our bodies and weaponry.
659
Jeezy: Bruh Soap Bruh! It is a no-brainer, no brainer.
660
Manny: Like.
661
Manny: just because we spend the money does not mean that it is wasteful spending. Oh, we're giving it to the. So what we're not having put boots on the ground.
662
Jeezy: And I think that's where people are missing the the purpose of this aid. And I think that in our in our earlier episodes, when this cut to us aid was being talked about, we brought it up in that episode about how this is so much cheaper
663
Jeezy: than having to go the military route.
664
Manny: Yeah.
665
Jeezy: Or even.
666
Jeezy: I believe, and I think I said it in that episode of how this will now cause us to have more enemies than friends or allies, because you got to think God! What's the movie? Thor? Love and thunder! If you've ever.
667
Manny: Sweet.
668
Jeezy: Why, why did he? I can't remember the villain's name, but he was played by Christian Bell. But why did he become the villain? Because the resources that his people needed the gods cut it off from him. And this created yes, little G.
669
Manny: Little. G, very much. Little. G, yeah.
670
Jeezy: Only will G.
671
Manny: But.
672
Jeezy: Definitely little G. But
673
Jeezy: he felt like what they needed was removed from them, and this caused him to riot against and want to attack, and he went around killing all the the gods, little G. Gods, and ended up being with him. And Thor. I think Thor was like the last God left. But you create
674
Jeezy: enemies now, because now, when you see this starvation, when you see the health decline of a nation where they relied, or they had this help that came from the Us. And now that it's ripped away, and you hear something like Oh, instead of feeding, and you see that your family's dying, or they chose just to incinerate and burn the food up.
675
Manny: Oh!
676
Jeezy: What is this creating these nations that before we had, we could consider allies or we helped them, the stability of them. So they felt that okay, in those times of need, where we maybe needed something diplomatically. They they were there and knew that we had their back and supported them, because then now, if I know something's brewing in my backyard that's uprising to destroy you, why would I tell you when you killed me right? You hurt me.
677
Manny: And then let's just add what we're we're finishing, getting through with. Well, we're not finishing, getting through. It's going to be here forever. Covid. Yeah, you're talking about being able to eradicate an illness.
678
Jeezy: Yep.
679
Manny: Any illness
680
Manny: is long-term protection for us, because if a a virus is able to sit in a community long enough, it's going to mutate.
681
Manny: and then eventually the risk of spread goes across everybody.
682
Manny: So now, because we did not make the the investments again. The investments in people.
683
Jeezy: -
684
Manny: To help them through a situation. We are now in a larger situation, because we didn't take the steps that we needed to take to make sure people were okay.
685
Jeezy: Bingo!
686
Manny: So it'll be. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. My current forecast is what happens in probably about
687
Manny: I give them.
688
Manny: I'm gonna give them about 2 years.
689
Manny: 2 years. They're going to come out and say, Oh, we're we are now investing aid in all these places to try to look like heroes. That's what I think. Ultimately, kind of plays out with some of this.
690
Jeezy: And in in setting, too, there was a
691
Jeezy: there was some cutting as well in the the funding of Npr. And Pbs, too, right.
692
Manny: Yes, 1 billion dollars was taken away from Bill, Big Bird and Elmo. And we talked about this before. It's all because of that is all because of that. the the grouch episode.
693
Jeezy: Yep, and
694
Jeezy: don't trump Bro. And my thing is, if I grew up in a rural area here in North Carolina, and Pbs was very essential
695
Jeezy: to my growth as a kid. I didn't rely on it as heavily as most did, but some people where they live that's the only thing, though their children get.
696
Manny: And that's some of the basis of why this started shows, like Sesame Street. How do we educate a public that may not have access to educational opportunities. Now, Sesame Street as a brand. I was telling my wife, even before this happened. I was like Sesame Street will be fine. Why? Because they make billions of dollars in toys and licensing. Somebody's going to pick them up.
697
Manny: But it's going to be behind a paywall, and we've already seen that we've already seen that I believe it's Netflix who has picked up Sesame Street like. So I believe some of these products will be fine. You'll be able to find Arthur, you'll you'll be able to find Molly and Tonali like you'll be able to find them. But it's going to be behind a paywall, and if you were already struggling.
698
Manny: To make ends meet. Where are you going to find money for a $21? Monthly subscription to Netflix.
699
Jeezy: Bingo!
700
Manny: You're not.
701
Manny: You're not so.
702
Jeezy: This this to me just.
703
Jeezy: It's terrible.
704
Manny: But I think.
705
Jeezy: I think the implications of it are not going to be well for the American people, and certainly not abroad. When you look at aid that we potentially did. And if they come back like you said. And now they want to come back. And oh, we're now supplying aid for this. They should really have a long look in the mirror, because by the time that happens, if it happens, how many lives would have already been lost.
706
Jeezy: how many families will already be destroyed. How many children will be dead.
707
Jeezy: And you did this just for the sake of looking like the the heroes on your own term versus when you were already in that space already that you were occupying, and what what damage will be done when other nations who don't have the best interest of America at heart occupy those spaces while we're gone.
708
Manny: We are. We are putting ourselves in such a position
709
Manny: that because we are not there, there's a need there. Someone's going to step in to fill that need. And you would think that a group that is so focused on entrepreneurship and the free market would understand that.
710
Jeezy: -
711
Manny: But not everything. This a wild statement for me to be quote, unquote.
712
Manny: conservative, leaning for me to say not, but not everything should be monetized.
713
Jeezy: Nope.
714
Manny: Not everything should be monetized.
715
Manny: You know what? It's a crazy belief that I have.
716
Manny: I believe that children ages from birth to 18
717
Manny: do not pay for healthcare treatment.
718
Manny: Why? Because if you have a healthier child, population.
719
Jeezy: Yep.
720
Manny: You have healthier adults, and if you have healthier adults.
721
Manny: you have a cheaper health system to deal with.
722
Jeezy: This will go.
723
Manny: And you have more adults that are able to
724
Manny: work in and help the economy.
725
Manny: And this is what I'm talking about when I say we have to invest in people and just cause we're spending money does not mean that we're wasting money.
726
Jeezy: Wasting money.
727
Manny: And I think that is what people are having a hard time reconciling together, that you can spend money, and it can be an investment.
728
Jeezy: Yep, that's a good point, Manny. I like that. That's a good point.
729
Manny: Hey? But you know I I led in that in my 2018 campaign, but the people ain't wanted. So you know.
730
Manny: hey? Hey?
731
Jeezy: But at any rate, man, I believe this isn't the final of the Doge cuts right. They still have more than they need to go through.
732
Manny: Yep, there's still more, and we'll see ultimately. Well, a trump's going to pass this like.
733
Jeezy: Oh, yeah.
734
Manny: That that is one of the the largest layups, but you know
735
Manny: it will. There be ultimately changes once they see the reality of what we've actually done. Yeah, once, you know, people are trying to figure out. Hey, my kid used to watch Sesame Street, and now they can't watch Sesame street. What happened?
736
Manny: Yeah, we'll we'll we'll tell you exactly what happened.
737
Jeezy: Bro. I would hate to have to be running for reelection, boy.
738
Manny: Where the block is about to be hot.
739
Jeezy: On fire.
740
Jeezy: Well thought.
741
Manny: Good luck, bye.
742
Jeezy: Well at this point. That is our coverage of the of the voting that has gone on for the cuts that Doge had to pass through Congress, we will see what those implications look like. And
743
Jeezy: yeah, yeah, good luck.
744
Jeezy: I don't know what else to tell you.
745
Manny: Yeah.
746
Jeezy: But I know what I can tell you. We have reached that segment of our show where we have our pickle of the week.
747
Manny: We got your pickle we got your pickle.
748
Manny: We got your pickle.
749
Jeezy: All right.
750
Jeezy: Mines is pretty simple this week. Manny.
751
Jeezy: Something that the world has already basically identified as a pickle. I'm just bringing it to the pod's attention and putting it out there.
752
Manny: Woo-hoo.
753
Jeezy: On our on our platform. But
754
Jeezy: the pickle of the week is none other than the CEO.
755
Manny: Yep.
756
Jeezy: Andy Bryan, Myron.
757
Manny: Oh!
758
Jeezy: And the to his coworker, Christine, I believe it's Kbot.
759
Manny: Hmm.
760
Jeezy: They went to a Coldplay concert. Bro.
761
Jeezy: In Foxborough.
762
Jeezy: He was all snugged up with her, embracing, enjoying the moment
763
Jeezy: which, hey, man! Shout out to Coldplay because I fool with Coldplay. They are definitely one of my favorite bands. But the camera got put on them
764
Jeezy: right.
765
Manny: Yeah, on a summer jam screen.
766
Jeezy: The summer jam screen. Bruh!
767
Jeezy: And right it. It was bad. 1st of all, man.
768
Jeezy: I feel bad for Andy, man, because what happened? You used to be able to go out in public, and you could cheat in peace.
769
Jeezy: Now you can't eat cheating.
770
Manny: Vending machine.
771
Jeezy: You can't even cheat in peace. No more. Bro.
772
Manny: He was just trying to take his side, his side co-worker side chick co-worker to a nice little concert.
773
Jeezy: Enjoy enjoying some songs off the living La Vida album.
774
Jeezy: and got put on the summer jam screen Bro. Over 600 million views on the Tiktok video.
775
Manny: 600. I'm sorry. 600 million.
776
Jeezy: Excuse me, 60 million.
777
Jeezy: Oh, okay.
778
Jeezy: 1 million views on Tiktok is what was reported. That's that this video circulated around and
779
Jeezy: basically him and him and the lady were put on leave, and I believe, as of now. Ultimately he has resigned
780
Jeezy: and the Board has accepted his resignation, and Pete Dejoy has stepped in as the interim CEO, so.
781
Manny: Oh, wait!
782
Manny: Who who stepped in as CEO now.
783
Jeezy: A guy named Pete Dejoy.
784
Manny: Did did it say what he did?
785
Jeezy: No, I didn't say.
786
Manny: Okay.
787
Jeezy: So shout out to Pete Dejoy for stepping up Bro. He got. He got handed a nice little alley-oop. Bro, but you know, Andy.
788
Jeezy: you know. Let just be a lesson, man. Well, 1st of all, I want to.
789
Jeezy: I was gonna say, the lesson is, don't, don't, don't cheat in public. But.
790
Manny: Don't cheat, let's start. There.
791
Jeezy: Cheat! Let me start!
792
Manny: Don't cheat, don't cheat.
793
Jeezy: You know, if if you, if you, if you, even if you're not married.
794
Jeezy: but if you're married, if you're in a relationship, if you're in a commitment.
795
Jeezy: Don't cheat Bro.
796
Jeezy: Because I'm sure this moment is not worth it, because he's lost his job.
797
Manny: This marriage.
798
Jeezy: I'm sure he lost his marriage because.
799
Manny: About to lose a whole lot of money, lost his kids.
800
Jeezy: Bruh, if they had kids that's messed up.
801
Jeezy: And you we already see how these women do. Bro. When they go down. We see how tiger wife did him. Bro. So.
802
Manny: I want it all. I want the house, the car.
803
Jeezy: You, too, Buddy? And the dog
804
Jeezy: got a house built with his money, and then bulldozed the house. I said, Bro, if that ain't the wrath of a white woman.
805
Manny: Ignorant.
806
Jeezy: But she took him through the Wrangle boy.
807
Manny: Man. So here was my thought when I saw this. Here is my 1st question.
808
Manny: What is astronomer?
809
Jeezy: Never heard of astronomer.
810
Manny: Apparently they're they're a massive company, though.
811
Manny: Private data operations tech firm, the specialize and manage Apache airflow services. So big data.
812
Jeezy: Okay.
813
Manny: And data orchestration specifically for AI driven workloads.
814
Jeezy: And from what I saw from detail, they're valued at around 1 billion dollars, and they're fresh off a 93 million dollars funding round which ships to major clients
815
Jeezy: so pretty. Major.
816
Manny: So I thought this a while, and I had a lot of questions. But before before I get into the fun part about this, here are some of my basic questions.
817
Manny: Were, y'all the 1st couple
818
Manny: that that was up on that screen? Because that's wild, because if y'all were the 1st couple. There was nothing, nothing you could do. You were just you were. You were just gonna get caught. But if you were like the second or 3rd couple. Didn't anything click in your head that like let's.
819
Jeezy: Bingo!
820
Manny: Let.
821
Manny: The second thing was like, you know what I think. If they had just played it cool.
822
Jeezy: -
823
Manny: They might have been okay.
824
Manny: But then I got to thinking.
825
Jeezy: -Oh!
826
Jeezy: Here we go!
827
Manny: So a series d funding round means they're pretty deep into their life cycle. That would likely mean over the next. Probably couple years. An Ipo might be likely.
828
Jeezy: Hmm.
829
Manny: Might be likely.
830
Manny: What if I told you that this may be an elaborate pr scheme?
831
Manny: They found them a fall Guy.
832
Manny: Chief CEO, and say, Hey, I need you to go to the Coldplay concert, and I need you.
833
Jeezy: Bro.
834
Manny: To get busted with our newly, our newly appointed Hr. Person.
835
Manny: And this will give us a layer of brand recognition, because
836
Manny: no one knew who who astronomer was before this and be honest. Everyone knows the name. No one knows what they do. Yep, but now you know, a whole lot of people are talking about astronomer.
837
Manny: That's my 1st theory is that they did all this to really get some brand recognition.
838
Manny: And the second part.
839
Jeezy: Oh, there's a part 2.
840
Manny: That's part 2, Hippy.
841
Manny: So my second part goes into the question I asked you about who
842
Manny: who replaced him because my theory was is right. My alternate theory is
843
Manny: the guy who replaced him knew, and he was getting sick.
844
Jeezy: He was.
845
Manny: Was getting sick of Andy and new because Astronomer paid for the booth.
846
Manny: The girl on the little offside. She she works for Hr. As well. I think she's like the director of P.
847
Jeezy: Oh!
848
Manny: And he knew.
849
Jeezy: There is.
850
Manny: So he's like, you know what? I'm going to go to the concert, too, and if.
851
Jeezy: Them all in the same suite.
852
Manny: And when it found the when it found the the camera guy slid him about $200.
853
Manny: Hey? When it's time I'm be sitting here. When I say, do it. I want you to put the camera on them.
854
Jeezy: Right.
855
Manny: And boom. Now he's the CEO, and only took a week.
856
Jeezy: Only took a week Bro.
857
Jeezy: And 200 bucks.
858
Manny: In solid costume, and you still got to see a Coldplay concert.
859
Jeezy: But facts, hey? That's that's a heck of a deal.
860
Manny: And I think the funny part is that it keeps getting worse because you don't see
861
Manny: the. You know. I've seen the mascots do it at various sporting events. Yeah, but somebody did. 2 from King of the Hill, one with a bag of Kingsford and Peggy Hill.
862
Manny: That about took me out of here right?
863
Manny: And then John Redcorn.
864
Jeezy: It's it's going out. It's getting out of hand. Bro.
865
Manny: But here's the one thing, since this is an AI company, and it's my plea to the world.
866
Manny: Please stop using AI, evaporating all of our good drinking water right to make bad jokes.
867
Jeezy: Stop using arm. Bad beans, everybody. Everybody ain't meant for it. Bro.
868
Manny: But no, we need to start giving tests before people start using using AI.
869
Jeezy: I wish that social media before you posted it. They had a review committee, and they'd be like, this ain't it?
870
Manny: Right. Maybe if there was a re, maybe if there was a review committee we would still be on Facebook and Instagram.
871
Jeezy: Man, don't even get me started. Bro.
872
Manny: Oh, we ain't forgot, Mark.
873
Jeezy: Yeah, we we need to talk to you.
874
Jeezy: We have a conversation, but hey, man, Andy and the pickle man.
875
Manny: Yeah. Man.
876
Jeezy: Brian, you didn't resign. You lost your job, you lost your girl.
877
Jeezy: maybe you maybe you kept your side, girl, maybe in all of this y'all still, you know, but.
878
Manny: But think about their poor salespeople. How many of them got hit up? And it's like, Hey, is this you.
879
Manny: How many deals have been lost to be like.
880
Manny: You can't just have your CEO out here out here cheating
881
Manny: all, all in the public and whatnot.
882
Jeezy: In that, and I'm and I'ma just leave it. This
883
Jeezy: should a CEO be forced to resign over a private, albeit embarrassing, kiss, cam moment.
884
Manny: I mean, does that? What is the
885
Manny: I don't think it's the cheating
886
Manny: I don't think. Is he cheating that get did him under because he could have been up there with his side piece, and it would have just been like an embarrassing situation
887
Manny: by you doing it with the head of Hr.
888
Manny: Human resources.
889
Jeezy: That's that's yeah.
890
Manny: That that's what took him under that, was it.
891
Jeezy: So so his problem is, he just didn't know how to pick pick the correct work. Wife.
892
Manny: That could be said too.
893
Jeezy: She, she too high up, brother, you you you went! You went swinging for the fences.
894
Jeezy: Bye, you both just worry about getting the 1st base and work your way around the home.
895
Manny: Bro. You the head of Hr. You meet with daily. No, no, Bro.
896
Jeezy: That's a that's that's a conflict of interest for real, for real.
897
Manny: Completely and totally.
898
Jeezy: Bro. You you got too. Got a little little bit too much. Dip on your chip, Bro.
899
Manny: Entirely.
900
Jeezy: Well, you know, he got time to update his resume.
901
Manny: I mean, I'm I'm sure he wasn't making no money at astronomer. I'm sure.
902
Jeezy: No.
903
Manny: I'm sure he's doing okay, even even after his wife comes for for the 75%, she's about to walk away with.
904
Jeezy: Hey, man! And I'm just going to say this just for the sake of argument. From what social media I heard on social media.
905
Jeezy: His wife, his wife want nothing bad to look at, brother. So so they like, hey, hey, man, yeah, you have something sitting real nice at home. Well, what's the what's the deal, man?
906
Jeezy: You know. Sometimes they say the best ability is availability. But we go. I'm gonna stop right there.
907
Jeezy: I'm gonna stop if I get in trouble.
908
Jeezy: But I'm just saying.
909
Jeezy: Brother Andy, you're the pickle, brother, if you, if you, if you want to clear your name up to the masses, you got a face here at partner politics. We gonna rate them colds over you for sure.
910
Manny: Bruh.
911
Jeezy: But you got a space here, brother, if you need a group of gentlemen around to help
912
Jeezy: support you in this difficult time, we at partner politics. We'll do it for you, brother.
913
Manny: Man! Good luck! Good luck, man!
914
Jeezy: Hey? Better you than me.
915
Manny: Definitely better than you than me.
916
Manny: Why? Why? Because black men don't cheat.
917
Jeezy: Black men don't cheat.
918
Manny: We do not cheat.
919
Jeezy: Black men don't cheat Bro.
920
Jeezy: Well, we've reached the end of our episode. And of course, at the end of the episode, we always give you guys our spotlight of the week. So, my brother.
921
Jeezy: what is your spotlight or spotlights?
922
Manny: Yeah.
923
Jeezy: A week man.
924
Manny: So my spotlight this week is dealing with here in North Carolina. So Josh Stein, a current governor, has declared a state of emergency for 13 counties here in North Carolina, that were affected last week by Chantal,
925
Manny: Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Davidson, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford, Lee, Moore, Orange, person, Randolph and wake for those of you who are not from North Carolina.
926
Manny: Just that. That's the middle of the State.
927
Manny: pretty much in the middle of the State from Winston-salem all the way over to Raleigh. All of those counties pretty bad flooding, and it's going to take a minute for for things to to resolve. So there was severe flooding. They're saying, just in Orange County alone. The storm cost 56 million dollars in damages.
928
Manny: So
929
Manny: it's been 10 days. People are trying to put their put their lives back together. But this will be especially interesting, not just to us, because we're here in North Carolina, but also
930
Manny: one of the 1st storms of the year. How how do we work with Fema? How is aid going to be provided? And what does this mean for what is looking like getting ready to be an extremely active hurricane season for the entire coast. So that is my spotlight thoughts and definitely thoughts and prayers to everyone who's trying to put everything back together.
931
Manny: But we'll see how this plans out, because, remember, still, at the the end of the day we are still recovering from the hurricane that hit the entire western side of the State. So now we're we're navigating through through 2 tough challenges.
932
Jeezy: Okay.
933
Manny: By hurricanes. So that is my spotlight of the week.
934
Jeezy: Alright. Well, I got 2 for you, and I'll keep them brief. My 1st one is
935
Jeezy: about the 2028 Democratic presidential landscape.
936
Jeezy: and it's been reported that while there are some well-known Democrats that we know, as far as Kamala Harris, Aoc, Bernie Sanders, there's a struggle amongst the Democratic party that we've talked about after the 2024 loss that they're trying to reset their reputation. But they're struggling to find a compelling national figure who can energize both the center and the left.
937
Jeezy: But one name has come out of this for his handling of his State level crisis, and that is Brother Wes Moore.
938
Jeezy: and what has been talked about is they look for a contender, and someone that is able to possibly take them to the next level in this re claiming and rebalancing and redirecting of the reputation that the Democrats have.
939
Jeezy: They're starting to kind of look at Wes Moore, man, and think that he may be
940
Jeezy: the guy. So in the next 6 to 12 months I would watch for more and see who others enter the discussion formally. Now there has not been any movement by anybody, but there's certainly starting to have conversations of
941
Jeezy: who are they going to be able to lean on, and his name is starting to pop up as a very possible game changer who is able to unite the party and carry it to the next level, but also be able to
942
Jeezy: reach, reach over the aisle, across the aisle to some other Republicans, to hopefully bridge some partnership and some bipartisanship. So
943
Jeezy: that that's 1 thing. And the other thing I wanted to bring up was I area 51.
944
Manny: Oh, yeah.
945
Jeezy: There was
946
Jeezy: conversations that happened where a group of former Us. Air Force personnel, who worked at Area 51, and then for the Nttr. Which is the Nevada test and training range, are speaking out, accusing the government of exposing them to harmful radiation and then erasing their records, leaving them without health care and without compensation. So they spoke, and I believe the gentleman's name was David Crete.
947
Jeezy: He's an ex Air Force sergeant from 1983 to 1987, and he's also the founder of the nonprofit, the invisible enemy. He's brought his story to Capitol Hill, and he testified before the House Veterans Affairs Committee that he and half of the around 8 veterans at a 2016 Las Vegas reunion had tumors, while more than
948
Jeezy: 490 others were known to have died prematurely, and many of them are blaming this on the radiation exposure that they had. But their records were flagged with data masks, meaning that their service at Area 51 in the Nttr.
949
Jeezy: Isn't officially recognized. So without the proof of the exposure, they can't receive Va benefits or access to medical care. And they're really pushing this, especially with proposals. Legislation with the Protect Act and the Forgotten Veterans Act. They're trying to get this under consideration in Congress to recognize the veterans and grant them the same benefits as other radiation exposed personnel. So as this starts to pick up and gain steam. 1st of all, I think this is wild.
950
Jeezy: that if.
951
Manny: Very much, so.
952
Jeezy: The cover up of this. And then, if the Government knew that this was going on to to flag their data so that they don't receive the benefits and health care of this, I think, is is very troubling, and.
953
Manny: Criminal.
954
Jeezy: Just Bruh! You took the word right out of my mouth. I was about to say very criminal
955
Jeezy: but I think that this should, we should definitely keep a spotlight on this, because, as we've seen changes, especially where I believe it was reported, there may be some cuts to what the veterans, affairs, and what they have, as far as the funding that they will have for vas this could make their their argument of what they think that is their right by the Government, and what they should be receiving could make that uphill battle even more of a of a of a mountain.
956
Jeezy: I've seen as my father being a veteran. I've seen how hard it is for veterans to get the assistance that they need already, and certainly my father wasn't exposed nearly to as much as what this gentleman is claiming happened to him and many of his other members, that they were exposed to Area 51 and nttr, so I hope that you know, if there is truth to this, that these gentlemen certainly get the help that they need
957
Jeezy: because they were acting in the service of their country and for their country. To turn their back on them in a time of need is, as Manny has said, very criminal
958
Jeezy: brand.
959
Jeezy: Oh, oh, very own brand!
960
Jeezy: Oh, they hidden! They're hidden definitely upright. But this is certainly not right, and people who have served our country shouldn't have to fight this hard
961
Jeezy: for one to get what they deserve, and certainly they shouldn't have to fight their hard to expose, cover up so they can get what they deserve. So those are my 2 spotlights of the week, man. So that's all I got.
962
Jeezy: So that is the conclusion. Episode 29 man. So of.
