Three Blind Mice

In this episode of Pardon the Politics, your favorite political cousins dive headfirst into the murky mess that is the recently dropped Epstein files. Titled Three Blind Mice, this week’s convo explores how the Department of Justice pulled the ol’ “Friday at 4:41 PM” release stunt, dropping over 550 pages of redacted chaos that told us absolutely nothing, except that the government still doesn’t want us to know.........

Jeezy, Manny, and Chuck unpack the familiar names, the black bars covering everything, and the photo ops gone wild (looking at you, Bill Clinton and Chris Tucker 👀). They reflect on the deep failure of justice and the eerie silence from players like Anonymous. Oh and yes, the rent is still too damn high.

This episode is a ride through political frustration, sharp humor, and the sobering truth about systemic failure.

🎧 Tap in, laugh a little, rage a little, and remember, it’s all for entertainment… allegedly.

21
00:01:31.810 --> 00:01:40.999
Manny: I appreciate it, and thank you again for standing in the gap, as the old folks say. Yes, sir. While I was on injured reserve.

22
00:01:41.330 --> 00:01:42.220
Jeezy: Hey, Mae.

23
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:46.979
Chuck: My podcast doors hang on welcome hinges, my brother. There we go.

24
00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:49.819
Jeezy: To our, to our listeners,

25
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:54.599
Jeezy: You're in for a treat this evening, because, we're gonna be flying blind today.

26
00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:58.070
Manny: That was… Sweet!

27
00:01:58.070 --> 00:01:59.310
Chuck: Oh, nice!

28
00:01:59.310 --> 00:02:01.659
Jeezy: Brad, look, that might be the title of the…

29
00:02:01.660 --> 00:02:04.499
Manny: Right there, three blind mice.

30
00:02:04.510 --> 00:02:07.490
Jeezy: But to our listeners, welcome.

31
00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:27.290
Jeezy: To another episode of Partner Politics Podcast. As always, we are excited, to have you tune in. Welcome, find your seat, get comfortable, as we try to go through and make sense of the chaos that we see on our political landfill. And, as you all know, if you listen, most of the time, we can't make sense of it.

32
00:02:27.320 --> 00:02:29.170
Manny: We be trying… we try so.

33
00:02:29.170 --> 00:02:37.030
Jeezy: Well, we try. But if we can't make sense of it, at least you know when you leave here, you're gonna leave with a laugh, so that's at least something that we can give you, so…

34
00:02:37.260 --> 00:02:41.220
Jeezy: Before we begin, we know the holidays are approaching.

35
00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:44.539
Jeezy: So to all our listeners, happy holidays.

36
00:02:44.650 --> 00:02:57.940
Jeezy: Merry Christmas, whatever you observe, whatever you are doing during the holidays, we hope that this episode finds you, in the best possible space, and if not, we hope that there is someone or something

37
00:02:58.060 --> 00:03:13.690
Jeezy: coming your way that will help you during this holiday to make it just a little bit, brighter. Even if it is this episode, we hope that it serves you well. So, welcome, welcome, welcome. To my brothers. What we gonna talk about? What's the first thing we gonna talk about today?

38
00:03:13.850 --> 00:03:18.580
Manny: Bro, we're gonna talk about why… Everything is so damn expensive.

39
00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:21.390
Manny: Okay. Alright.

40
00:03:21.390 --> 00:03:24.980
Jeezy: So you changed your affiliation to the Rent Too Damn High Party?

41
00:03:24.980 --> 00:03:27.399
Manny: But that boy, look, he was on to something, man.

42
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.660
Jeezy: Bruh, bruh, what… bruh, shout… I think he pa- did he pass away?

43
00:03:31.210 --> 00:03:32.289
Manny: That's a good issue.

44
00:03:32.510 --> 00:03:33.640
Chuck: I don't want to do that.

45
00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:34.399
Manny: Oh, look.

46
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.700
Jeezy: I don't want to put nobody in the direction.

47
00:03:35.700 --> 00:03:37.249
Manny: Put them at a grave early.

48
00:03:37.250 --> 00:03:45.620
Jeezy: I don't want to put nobody in the dirt. He been quiet, so I'm assuming, but, you know, for that brother, that started the Rent Too Damn High party…

49
00:03:45.750 --> 00:03:53.900
Jeezy: You are needed more than ever in this political landscape, because everything indeed is too high.

50
00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:59.219
Manny: I just wanted to get that off my chest, you know, we can go wherever. We can go wherever.

51
00:03:59.220 --> 00:04:09.300
Jeezy: We're gonna talk about that a little bit more later, but, to our listeners, I think the first thing we'll talk about is, this past Friday on December…

52
00:04:09.420 --> 00:04:10.669
Jeezy: The 19th.

53
00:04:10.770 --> 00:04:13.279
Jeezy: There was a release that happened.

54
00:04:13.530 --> 00:04:16.290
Jeezy: And I don't know if you are, like… bro, thank you.

55
00:04:16.290 --> 00:04:17.320
Manny: I admit.

56
00:04:17.320 --> 00:04:17.690
Jeezy: Oh, damn.

57
00:04:17.970 --> 00:04:18.644
Manny: Although.

58
00:04:19.329 --> 00:04:20.009
Jeezy: That was headed there.

59
00:04:20.010 --> 00:04:20.490
Manny: Wow.

60
00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:21.070
Jeezy: We're headed in.

61
00:04:21.790 --> 00:04:40.900
Jeezy: But, normally Fridays I enjoy, because I'm a music connoisseur, and I know Fridays, you know, you get your new album, new music released, but we got a different release, and I think this was very odd, because we had the Epstein Files released this Friday, and I was driving up to…

62
00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:42.650
Jeezy: Maryland.

63
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:48.569
Jeezy: And I got the notification that it dropped at, like, 4.41, and I was like, bruh…

64
00:04:49.690 --> 00:05:01.290
Jeezy: Bruh, I have done that a million times on a Friday, headed out the door, like, bruh, I'mma send that… I know this email gonna get a response, but by the time I hit that send, and they see it.

65
00:05:01.290 --> 00:05:04.610
Chuck: It'll be after 5 o'clock, I ain't gotta worry about it till Monday.

66
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:09.850
Jeezy: That's exactly what the government did when they dropped the Epstein files on Friday.

67
00:05:10.060 --> 00:05:15.100
Manny: That's when the… that's when the best news drops, across the board. Friday, after lunch.

68
00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:15.600
Jeezy: Yep.

69
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:16.790
Manny: Like, yep.

70
00:05:16.790 --> 00:05:17.379
Jeezy: We're about to know.

71
00:05:17.780 --> 00:05:20.140
Jeezy: happy hour in DC.

72
00:05:20.140 --> 00:05:20.990
Chuck: So I used to work…

73
00:05:20.990 --> 00:05:21.530
Jeezy: Dude.

74
00:05:21.730 --> 00:05:36.960
Chuck: So I used to work in the banking industry, for the listeners who don't know, and a lot of the scammers and shysters like to pull that move as well. It could be any day of the week, but close to the closing time.

75
00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:48.969
Chuck: You trying to get out of here, you trying to go home, so we're gonna try to run this fake check by you, we're gonna try to run this scam, and pull some money out of somebody's account that ain't supposed to be. So…

76
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:58.319
Chuck: It's a scam. It's a scam! That's what they tried to run the scammer's play on us in dropping these

77
00:05:58.690 --> 00:06:00.580
Chuck: Epstein Files.

78
00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:02.970
Chuck: At the end of the day on Friday.

79
00:06:02.970 --> 00:06:03.510
Manny: But it…

80
00:06:03.510 --> 00:06:06.720
Jeezy: like I was scammed to my brother's sick. Go ahead, man.

81
00:06:07.270 --> 00:06:12.419
Manny: But, like, and I think that's the crazy part about all this, is you're doing a 5 o'clock drop.

82
00:06:12.670 --> 00:06:21.619
Manny: You're wait… everyone's waiting on these. It's not like you trying to just drop something we haven't been paying attention to for years at this point.

83
00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:31.970
Manny: Like, like, we're waiting on this. So, for me, if I was gonna try to hide something, I'd be dropping that at lunch on Monday morning.

84
00:06:32.310 --> 00:06:32.900
Chuck: Yes.

85
00:06:33.090 --> 00:06:36.560
Manny: Let's get it… let's get it nice and covered… covered up through all…

86
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.299
Jeezy: All the other random stuff, like, if that's how you're gonna try to do it.

87
00:06:41.190 --> 00:06:45.520
Chuck: Especially… Monday is a perfect time, like you said, right before lunch.

88
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:57.200
Chuck: And let something else happen toward the end of the day, middle of the afternoon, that can convolute what's going on while people are going through and looking over these files.

89
00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:00.080
Manny: And before our listeners try to get on us.

90
00:07:00.330 --> 00:07:09.139
Manny: we do realize the bill that was signed mandated that Friday was the day that they had to release it, so we get that.

91
00:07:09.140 --> 00:07:13.620
Chuck: The deadline and not the set date. They had to do it by that day.

92
00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:16.130
Manny: They had to do it by today. By… sorry, by Friday.

93
00:07:16.130 --> 00:07:17.640
Jeezy: By that Friday, yeah.

94
00:07:17.640 --> 00:07:19.440
Chuck: Yeah. So they released it sooner.

95
00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:23.239
Jeezy: Well, see, well then, with that, this is my gripe.

96
00:07:23.870 --> 00:07:27.739
Jeezy: Y'all dropped it at 4.41 on Friday.

97
00:07:28.660 --> 00:07:32.260
Chuck: I can't even read it, because it's so much sharper.

98
00:07:33.540 --> 00:07:37.810
Jeezy: Bruh, you can't even use contest clues. Bruh, it's like… B…

99
00:07:38.290 --> 00:07:42.550
Jeezy: Black, black, black, black, black, went, black, brown, I don't need… period.

100
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:51.499
Jeezy: What? What does this even say? Epstein. Blank, blank, blank, fire, blank, gusty wind. Blank, period.

101
00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:56.020
Manny: What! There were… allegedly, according to reports.

102
00:07:56.230 --> 00:08:04.670
Manny: There were 550 pages that were completely blacked out with no visible content.

103
00:08:04.900 --> 00:08:06.230
Jeezy: Bruh, let me tell you.

104
00:08:06.230 --> 00:08:07.140
Chuck: But you got it, though.

105
00:08:07.140 --> 00:08:08.280
Jeezy: Ridiculous.

106
00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:14.040
Manny: Bro, stop playing in our face. But then there's also, in excess.

107
00:08:14.590 --> 00:08:20.560
Manny: Of 1,200 victim and relative names that were withheld.

108
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.529
Manny: Rightfully so. Rightfully so.

109
00:08:23.530 --> 00:08:25.080
Chuck: When I say, when I seen that…

110
00:08:25.080 --> 00:08:28.639
Jeezy: number, I said, bruh, no disrespect to anybody.

111
00:08:28.820 --> 00:08:34.380
Jeezy: Bruh, Epstein had a lot of wild activity going on, bruh. You got, bruh, you got that many names?

112
00:08:34.380 --> 00:08:35.289
Manny: Wild.

113
00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:36.649
Jeezy: Dog!

114
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.070
Chuck: Listen, if, if, if…

115
00:08:40.940 --> 00:08:49.020
Chuck: I… no, I ain't gonna say it, but 1525 had to drop a redacted list of activity.

116
00:08:49.340 --> 00:08:51.869
Chuck: It would be pretty, pretty substantial.

117
00:08:51.870 --> 00:08:58.489
Jeezy: There's a lot of y'all that have been very fortunate in life and moved in some spaces.

118
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:03.029
Jeezy: That if 1525, released anything that was unredacted.

119
00:09:03.470 --> 00:09:05.209
Jeezy: Well, your employer will be callin'.

120
00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:12.480
Chuck: I think this… this is now the… That number is madness.

121
00:09:13.670 --> 00:09:23.660
Chuck: This seems like a fine point to remind everyone that the Pardon the Politics podcast is released for entertainment purposes only. Only.

122
00:09:23.660 --> 00:09:24.160
Jeezy: Only.

123
00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:25.490
Manny: Holy shit.

124
00:09:25.490 --> 00:09:33.509
Chuck: The views and opinions expressed by the individuals on this podcast are those of themselves, and represent their thoughts only.

125
00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:35.140
Manny: Maybe.

126
00:09:35.870 --> 00:09:36.280
Chuck: Possibly.

127
00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:38.000
Jeezy: These are just jokes.

128
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.290
Manny: The G's, or just…

129
00:09:40.290 --> 00:09:41.760
Chuck: It's only entertainment!

130
00:09:42.130 --> 00:09:43.350
Jeezy: Only Entertainment.

131
00:09:43.550 --> 00:09:46.589
Jeezy: But yeah, when you look at this, though…

132
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.040
Jeezy: What do we… what did we gain from this?

133
00:09:50.300 --> 00:09:56.450
Chuck: Look, before we move to that one, we talked about the redacted pages. Yeah. We did not talk about the…

134
00:09:57.040 --> 00:09:59.480
Chuck: Oops, we posted these, but let's take them down.

135
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:00.420
Manny: Let's run him back.

136
00:10:00.910 --> 00:10:02.400
Jeezy: Oh, yeah.

137
00:10:02.400 --> 00:10:08.580
Chuck: Because we miss something. How do we miss these pages out of these thousands of pages?

138
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:10.850
Chuck: Yeah, it was crazy, man.

139
00:10:10.850 --> 00:10:15.110
Jeezy: A couple of the ones I seen that Trump had, looked like a Griselda cover.

140
00:10:17.230 --> 00:10:18.490
Chuck: Griselda Blanco.

141
00:10:19.430 --> 00:10:23.259
Jeezy: Bruh, I'll tell you, somebody who had a good time in some of that stuff that was released.

142
00:10:23.420 --> 00:10:24.520
Jeezy: Be a queen.

143
00:10:24.520 --> 00:10:25.450
Manny: Boy…

144
00:10:25.450 --> 00:10:28.230
Jeezy: I see Bill Clinton in the hot tub. I said, yo, bruh.

145
00:10:28.640 --> 00:10:29.970
Manny: Listen, who?

146
00:10:29.970 --> 00:10:32.800
Chuck: Who did not think that Bill Clinton.

147
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.430
Jeezy: was a party savant. Bruh.

148
00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:38.329
Chuck: He came pumped up all.

149
00:10:38.330 --> 00:10:38.730
Manny: Mmm.

150
00:10:38.730 --> 00:10:52.479
Chuck: So, some of our listeners, depending on the age range, depending on what you were looking at back in the early 90s, I'm a… I think I told y'all before on the podcast, I'm one of the senior individuals in our friend group.

151
00:10:52.630 --> 00:11:06.520
Chuck: I remember Bill Clinton coming on our San Diego Hall with the saxophone. I remember how my elders responded to Bill Clinton being on the saxophone and being on our San Diego Hall. Everything about that said, Bill liked to get down and have a good time.

152
00:11:06.520 --> 00:11:09.960
Jeezy: Bruh, bruh. Bill always liked to have a good time.

153
00:11:10.140 --> 00:11:10.550
Chuck: Always.

154
00:11:10.550 --> 00:11:12.539
Jeezy: Maybe a little too much of a good time.

155
00:11:13.900 --> 00:11:20.020
Jeezy: Bill was in the hot tub, and the hell was still in perfect form. I said, oh yeah, I already know. This ain't his first rodeo.

156
00:11:20.020 --> 00:11:21.839
Manny: He said, we like to party.

157
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:32.019
Jeezy: I don't know if you saw the picture, the one that did crack me up was the one that they got of, Chris Tucker, and Chris Tucker had that look like, we ain't supposed to have no pictures!

158
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.590
Manny: I see, I see the two…

159
00:11:35.590 --> 00:11:38.070
Chuck: Like he said, no faith, no case.

160
00:11:38.520 --> 00:11:43.340
Chuck: I said, oh, so Rush Hour is about Epstein.

161
00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:43.730
Jeezy: Bruh.

162
00:11:44.670 --> 00:11:50.789
Jeezy: I definitely was like, yo, Chris definitely had that look, and we ain't seen no more pictures of Chris around either, bro.

163
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.820
Manny: None. That man said I won.

164
00:11:53.820 --> 00:11:55.830
Chuck: No little pieces of it.

165
00:11:55.830 --> 00:11:56.560
Jeezy: Bruh.

166
00:11:56.790 --> 00:12:03.169
Chuck: Now, there was one picture that pissed me off, though, and it was nasty work how the DOJ…

167
00:12:03.170 --> 00:12:03.659
Jeezy: At the end of the.

168
00:12:03.660 --> 00:12:05.120
Manny: With Michael?

169
00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:06.510
Chuck: Yes.

170
00:12:06.510 --> 00:12:08.109
Jeezy: Bruh. Very nasty work.

171
00:12:08.110 --> 00:12:10.150
Chuck: Very nasty work, because… Very nasty word.

172
00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:15.410
Chuck: They redacted his children and Diana Ross's son.

173
00:12:15.410 --> 00:12:17.999
Jeezy: Diana Ross. Yep. It made it look like it was something else.

174
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:23.759
Manny: But before we… yeah, let's describe the photo. It's, what, Clinton, Diana Ross…

175
00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:28.599
Chuck: Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, and then you see 3 blotches in the picture.

176
00:12:28.760 --> 00:12:32.160
Chuck: The two at the bottom are Michael Jackson's oldest children.

177
00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:32.800
Jeezy: Yep.

178
00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:35.300
Chuck: I ain't call no names, the London Breed…

179
00:12:35.300 --> 00:12:36.810
Manny: Parison blanket or something.

180
00:12:36.810 --> 00:12:38.650
Chuck: Yeah.

181
00:12:38.650 --> 00:12:40.220
Manny: You say London Bridge.

182
00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:40.799
Jeezy: I want to…

183
00:12:41.270 --> 00:12:50.389
Chuck: It's a name I wouldn't name my child, but anyway. And then it was Evan Ross. Again, this is a picture…

184
00:12:50.540 --> 00:12:51.920
Chuck: with Bill Clinton.

185
00:12:52.180 --> 00:12:55.620
Chuck: Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, and their children.

186
00:12:56.010 --> 00:12:58.819
Chuck: But y'all try to make it look like nasty work.

187
00:12:58.820 --> 00:12:59.150
Jeezy: Yep.

188
00:12:59.570 --> 00:13:12.999
Chuck: from my guy, Michael. Now, Michael may have his transgressions, and we'll speak to them on a different podcast at a different time, if it's necessary. But to try to throw that in there, in the midst of all… Just casually, yeah.

189
00:13:13.190 --> 00:13:13.700
Jeezy: The mega.

190
00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:14.740
Chuck: Very casually.

191
00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:15.749
Jeezy: It's like you're trying to spin.

192
00:13:15.750 --> 00:13:19.940
Chuck: Yes, try to spend something. And I'm like, come on, man. Come on.

193
00:13:20.520 --> 00:13:26.870
Chuck: let's not do this. We know who Bill is, we know who the other players are, but…

194
00:13:27.450 --> 00:13:33.489
Chuck: And during that time period, it makes sense for Diana Ross and Michael Jackson to be around Bill Clinton.

195
00:13:33.490 --> 00:13:34.750
Manny: Absolutely. Absolutely.

196
00:13:34.750 --> 00:13:36.250
Chuck: All the sense in the world.

197
00:13:36.250 --> 00:13:40.660
Jeezy: Makes sense for Michael Jackson and Diana Ross to be together, according to all the rumors we heard.

198
00:13:40.660 --> 00:13:41.200
Chuck: Hey.

199
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.609
Manny: Yeah, yeah, also that.

200
00:13:43.300 --> 00:13:44.690
Chuck: Dirty Diana!

201
00:13:45.270 --> 00:13:45.829
Chuck: Oh!

202
00:13:46.390 --> 00:13:50.290
Jeezy: I ain't gonna say nothing else, but hey, Michael Boy, hey.

203
00:13:50.660 --> 00:13:51.730
Chuck: Hey, man.

204
00:13:51.730 --> 00:13:53.449
Manny: When was the king of pop.

205
00:13:53.670 --> 00:13:56.499
Chuck: No, forget… no, no, before he was the king of pop.

206
00:13:56.870 --> 00:13:57.700
Jeezy: Guess huh?

207
00:13:58.210 --> 00:14:04.490
Chuck: Diana? Yes, sir. According to what they said, Diana…

208
00:14:04.690 --> 00:14:12.040
Chuck: show him that he was just a pauper. Yes, sir. She was the queen. Yes, sir. So, this is pre-King of pop.

209
00:14:12.040 --> 00:14:12.630
Jeezy: to adjust them.

210
00:14:16.030 --> 00:14:16.589
Jeezy: But yeah.

211
00:14:16.590 --> 00:14:26.579
Chuck: But yeah, it just… I just wanted to bring that up in the midst of us discussing what was redacted and what was thrown out there, that was nasty work.

212
00:14:26.580 --> 00:14:32.760
Jeezy: Well, I think even with that being spoken of, Chuck, you know, there was some conversation that was going on on social media about how

213
00:14:32.920 --> 00:14:42.920
Jeezy: There were certain files that were, unaccessible, and those files apparently had information or pertained to some photos that.

214
00:14:43.020 --> 00:15:01.180
Jeezy: were linked to Donald Trump. I forgot, but I remember seeing the link, and there was some posting on social media where it was, like, file 47 and 48, or something like that, that they couldn't access those, and apparently you could before, but they had, you know, some photos of Donald Trump, but now you couldn't get to them. It's a whole lot of…

215
00:15:02.150 --> 00:15:07.930
Jeezy: nasty work, as you said before, Chuck, and when you think about that, To that statement.

216
00:15:08.810 --> 00:15:12.839
Jeezy: What did we again… accomplished, because I think that there's been some

217
00:15:13.250 --> 00:15:18.019
Jeezy: around the Epstein files that people felt like On one side.

218
00:15:19.380 --> 00:15:36.460
Jeezy: you know, there's the DOJ kind of doing the bidding and pulling and plucking information so that Donald Trump doesn't look as bad as what he's already been linked to already in the media. Then there's one side of it that, you know, that says, okay, we want the files, we want the files, and then when you get them, they're all sharpied up.

219
00:15:36.690 --> 00:15:41.470
Jeezy: Where are we at, and where are we getting with this release, if we still…

220
00:15:41.750 --> 00:15:44.909
Jeezy: Don't really… there's nothing new that's come of this.

221
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:46.160
Manny: Well, I think…

222
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:52.820
Manny: Two things. So, my understanding from DOJ, this is the first wave of information. We have more coming.

223
00:15:52.890 --> 00:16:09.099
Manny: Okay. Second piece is, to add clarity, I think the photo you were talking about is essentially called File 468. It was a picture of Trump, Epstein, Maxwell, and Melania.

224
00:16:09.410 --> 00:16:23.199
Manny: with Trump and a group full of women. And then there was apparently another file that had inside images from Epstein's New York massage parlor depicting sexualized art.

225
00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:25.870
Manny: So…

226
00:16:26.130 --> 00:16:33.420
Chuck: And also, to what you're speaking to, the photo was, like, in a desk.

227
00:16:33.420 --> 00:16:33.890
Manny: Yep.

228
00:16:33.890 --> 00:16:37.000
Chuck: And the picture of a desk and the photos in the desk.

229
00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:40.600
Chuck: And… okay, we're gonna assume.

230
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:50.709
Chuck: Those women look grown. They look like pageant participants in that picture. But what's real funny is Ty Blanche…

231
00:16:50.890 --> 00:17:02.239
Chuck: U.S. Deputy Attorney Ty Blanch was on the circuits, the political circuits Sunday morning, lying. Put it plain and simple.

232
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.089
Manny: No, not this administration.

233
00:17:04.099 --> 00:17:05.349
Jeezy: Right.

234
00:17:05.349 --> 00:17:06.149
Manny: Yo!

235
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.900
Jeezy: who would have got away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids.

236
00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:22.640
Chuck: Lying about those files, and, you know, tried to say that, victim advocacy groups were,

237
00:17:23.790 --> 00:17:32.439
Chuck: Complaining, not complaining, but putting in requests to pull them down, as if trying to indicate that some of those women in those pictures

238
00:17:32.560 --> 00:17:38.779
Chuck: We're victims when we've had a large array of victims saying, hey, release this information.

239
00:17:39.010 --> 00:17:42.840
Manny: I mean, with 1,200 people being in this.

240
00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:48.600
Manny: Can… can you convince me that there is even 10%?

241
00:17:49.080 --> 00:17:59.630
Manny: of people who just wanted their stuff to, like, be pulled out of there, and they just wanted nothing to do with this, yeah, you can convince me. But to your point, Chuck, there is also…

242
00:17:59.770 --> 00:18:12.489
Manny: a very large contingent, or it's been portrayed to us as a large contingent of women who want what happened down Epstein's Diddy Island.

243
00:18:12.490 --> 00:18:13.280
Jeezy: Whoa.

244
00:18:13.280 --> 00:18:14.280
Chuck: Whoa!

245
00:18:14.280 --> 00:18:15.510
Jeezy: I'm just…

246
00:18:15.510 --> 00:18:16.890
Manny: Cheney accusations?

247
00:18:16.890 --> 00:18:17.360
Jeezy: tape.

248
00:18:17.360 --> 00:18:20.720
Manny: I'm just… I'm just chaining accusations together.

249
00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:24.310
Chuck: You about to make me get on my dame dash, how you gonna get down a brother?

250
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:45.379
Manny: But it's… so you have that piece, but then, if you… to Jay-Z's question as a whole, I already knew it was gonna be some mess when I saw how you had to access them, and when I went to the website and said, oh, you're waiting in queue. I'm sorry, what?

251
00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:46.509
Jeezy: Bruh, why, bruh?

252
00:18:46.510 --> 00:18:49.139
Manny: Why am I waiting in queue?

253
00:18:49.350 --> 00:18:53.920
Manny: to then get to a site where I use the worst…

254
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:54.480
Jeezy: Bruh.

255
00:18:54.780 --> 00:18:57.030
Manny: Google search capacity.

256
00:18:57.170 --> 00:19:04.269
Manny: To try to, like… what term am I looking for? I don't know, Trump? Wait, there's two files out of all this?

257
00:19:04.270 --> 00:19:04.700
Chuck: That's the same.

258
00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:16.220
Manny: Trump? That doesn't seem right. Let me type in Epstein, okay? There's a whole lot of these. Let me type in Trump, let me do Trump lowercase. Wait, there's only two with him? Let me type Clinton. I got all.

259
00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:20.519
Chuck: I think you should have typed in black bar, and you'd have gone…

260
00:19:20.520 --> 00:19:24.040
Jeezy: Man, listen, you would've got every single foul up there.

261
00:19:24.780 --> 00:19:26.450
Chuck: Answer Jesus… oh, go ahead, Manny, I'm sorry.

262
00:19:26.450 --> 00:19:27.700
Manny: No, so…

263
00:19:28.600 --> 00:19:34.770
Manny: My understanding is that even with this being the first release, a lot of these files we've seen before.

264
00:19:35.760 --> 00:19:36.100
Chuck: who'.

265
00:19:36.100 --> 00:19:40.269
Manny: So, we didn't… we don't… we didn't learn anything groundbreaking.

266
00:19:40.270 --> 00:19:40.750
Jeezy: Yeah.

267
00:19:40.750 --> 00:19:43.890
Manny: It is stuff that we either knew.

268
00:19:44.080 --> 00:19:49.949
Manny: or have theorized up to this point, from my standpoint, Chuck?

269
00:19:50.260 --> 00:19:52.460
Chuck: So, to answer Jeezy's question.

270
00:19:54.010 --> 00:20:07.199
Chuck: I am not expecting anything at all from this. And quite honestly, I have been over and past the releasing of the Epstein files for a couple of months now.

271
00:20:07.330 --> 00:20:21.920
Chuck: And the reason for that is… nothing's gonna happen. There are cowards in Congress who will not step up to the plate to impeach him. There are cowards in Congress who will not…

272
00:20:22.490 --> 00:20:30.670
Chuck: Penalize the individual outside of Maxwell, who…

273
00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:37.080
Chuck: Already did her bidding to, make it comfy for herself.

274
00:20:37.080 --> 00:20:38.859
Manny: Yep, yep. And…

275
00:20:38.860 --> 00:20:43.160
Chuck: And quite honestly, it baffles me with the back and forth of…

276
00:20:43.350 --> 00:20:48.759
Chuck: There's nothing to see, but there's a woman who got a 20-year prison sentence.

277
00:20:49.470 --> 00:20:52.449
Chuck: Over these files, there's nothing to see on.

278
00:20:52.450 --> 00:20:53.859
Jeezy: Gotta be something to see.

279
00:20:53.860 --> 00:21:01.670
Chuck: Gotta be something to see. And furthermore, you have the DO joke, That has been…

280
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.190
Jeezy: Sure.

281
00:21:02.190 --> 00:21:13.660
Chuck: infiltrating… Checking his bag, checking his bag, y'all. Because, brother, how do you… and the reason I call them the DO joke, because you've placed people in place, the DOJ was meant to be…

282
00:21:13.820 --> 00:21:16.950
Chuck: an entity… that was…

283
00:21:17.140 --> 00:21:28.750
Chuck: put there to protect the rights and fight on a legality standpoint for the Constitution. And you've made it a mob squad.

284
00:21:29.140 --> 00:21:29.790
Audio shared by Jeezy: Message!

285
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:35.449
Chuck: And when going after James… the likes of James Comey and Letitia James.

286
00:21:35.940 --> 00:21:40.929
Chuck: I tried 3 different times to hit that woman. 3 different times over BS.

287
00:21:41.170 --> 00:21:43.589
Manny: And it… and it… No, it's a wonderful day, bro.

288
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:45.170
Jeezy: I'm sorry.

289
00:21:46.990 --> 00:21:48.619
Manny: And it didn't stick any time.

290
00:21:48.620 --> 00:21:54.499
Chuck: not went man time. Teflon. Teflon James is what she is.

291
00:21:55.140 --> 00:22:00.179
Chuck: And so… For me, it's like, okay, let's move forward.

292
00:22:00.390 --> 00:22:04.500
Chuck: Because… because it's… it's become a talking point.

293
00:22:04.850 --> 00:22:12.120
Chuck: for Congress and congressional members, and you're not gonna win an election off these Epstein funds.

294
00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:19.340
Manny: Boy, Chuck, you hit that point that I was getting ready to bring up. I don't know how many times…

295
00:22:19.490 --> 00:22:26.809
Manny: All three of us have said it. So, pick your episode. If the Democrats were dependent.

296
00:22:27.430 --> 00:22:31.319
Manny: If your plans for how you were going to deal with the Trump administration

297
00:22:31.450 --> 00:22:39.019
Manny: evolved around the Epstein files being what took him down, you're waiting on a train that's never coming.

298
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:39.920
Jeezy: Done.

299
00:22:40.810 --> 00:22:47.249
Chuck: Because if they cared, he never would have got elected. That… the first time, that man said, grab him by the pee.

300
00:22:48.550 --> 00:22:49.690
Manny: We are not…

301
00:22:49.690 --> 00:22:50.990
Jeezy: It's weird, but it never happened.

302
00:22:51.140 --> 00:22:55.580
Manny: We are not going to see the true contents of the Epstein files.

303
00:22:55.580 --> 00:22:56.660
Jeezy: Bruh.

304
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:01.590
Jeezy: for another 80 years. Everybody involved in it gonna be dead and gone.

305
00:23:01.590 --> 00:23:04.090
Manny: I mean, it's gonna be like the JFK files.

306
00:23:04.090 --> 00:23:06.060
Chuck: I was just about to say, we ain't really seen.

307
00:23:06.060 --> 00:23:09.569
Audio shared by Jeezy: the true essence of the JFK files. At this point, I don't care.

308
00:23:09.570 --> 00:23:10.750
Manny: Okay. Right.

309
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:17.299
Jeezy: But is that the goal, though? Because that's what I was thinking when Chuck started this. Is it to wear…

310
00:23:17.430 --> 00:23:20.820
Jeezy: the American people down so much.

311
00:23:21.150 --> 00:23:38.459
Jeezy: that at a point, you just don't even care no more. Because at some point, nobody cared about the Kennedy files anymore. Nobody cared about, you know, everybody had this idea of what happened to MLK, and how this was… the government was… everybody had these things, but once nothing really came, everybody's just like, look.

312
00:23:38.810 --> 00:23:40.159
Jeezy: It is what it is.

313
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:43.690
Manny: It happens all the time. You remember the whole drone thing in New Jersey?

314
00:23:43.690 --> 00:23:44.140
Chuck: Yep.

315
00:23:44.140 --> 00:23:44.490
Jeezy: Yo!

316
00:23:45.390 --> 00:23:50.560
Jeezy: There was this whole thing, and everybody was like, oh, y'all ain't gonna give us any information, and I guess we'll just go about our way.

317
00:23:50.560 --> 00:23:50.980
Manny: -

318
00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:53.889
Jeezy: We got more things that we… the American people actually have…

319
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.559
Manny: We got other things to worry about.

320
00:23:55.560 --> 00:24:09.060
Jeezy: I hate this because if you're a victim, I hope that you don't take this as being insensitive, but that's what happens, that eventually, if we can't get the answers, we can't get the answers, there is life that is still happening.

321
00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:11.159
Jeezy: Parallel to this issue.

322
00:24:11.650 --> 00:24:14.279
Chuck: But see, like I was stating.

323
00:24:14.910 --> 00:24:19.720
Chuck: The investment in it would be more if we knew there would be punishment.

324
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:21.420
Manny: Right.

325
00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:24.250
Chuck: Like, now… If…

326
00:24:24.250 --> 00:24:25.010
Jeezy: Point joke.

327
00:24:25.350 --> 00:24:33.390
Chuck: Like, that's the crux of it. With JFK, with MLK, you know.

328
00:24:33.560 --> 00:24:39.399
Chuck: There was someone who was made to be seen as paying for the crime.

329
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:39.950
Jeezy: Yeah.

330
00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:47.179
Chuck: And everything else that we felt about it, everything else that we saw about it, was conjecture to some.

331
00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:47.670
Jeezy: Yep.

332
00:24:48.340 --> 00:24:50.719
Chuck: Conspiracy to others.

333
00:24:51.620 --> 00:24:54.250
Chuck: But there was someone who paid for it.

334
00:24:54.530 --> 00:24:54.980
Manny: Hmm.

335
00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:56.910
Chuck: In this essence.

336
00:24:57.210 --> 00:25:04.560
Chuck: who's gonna pay for it? Prince Andrew, by losing his cushy amenities of life? He almost outta here anyway.

337
00:25:04.560 --> 00:25:05.050
Manny: Right.

338
00:25:05.050 --> 00:25:05.700
Jeezy: Bro.

339
00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:10.679
Chuck: And so, for me, and you make a very valid point, Jeezy.

340
00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:13.370
Chuck: There are victims and those who are…

341
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:21.290
Chuck: Terribly impacted by this. And we don't want to minimize and diminish that aspect.

342
00:25:21.290 --> 00:25:21.850
Jeezy: Yeah.

343
00:25:22.050 --> 00:25:25.759
Chuck: But for… This topic to dominate

344
00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:28.659
Chuck: The news cycle the way it does.

345
00:25:28.810 --> 00:25:37.400
Chuck: And there's not gonna be any punishment for the actions Mind you, This isn't just,

346
00:25:38.060 --> 00:25:43.629
Chuck: Gosh, I can't even think of the term. This isn't just some white-collar, espionage…

347
00:25:43.630 --> 00:25:43.960
Manny: Yeah.

348
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:45.960
Chuck: This is criminal action.

349
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:46.600
Jeezy: Yep.

350
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:48.260
Chuck: criminal action.

351
00:25:48.540 --> 00:25:50.000
Manny: Against minors.

352
00:25:50.180 --> 00:25:51.790
Jeezy: Against minors.

353
00:25:51.990 --> 00:25:53.699
Chuck: Against my decision.

354
00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:55.360
Jeezy: Who we claim we care about.

355
00:25:55.360 --> 00:25:57.720
Chuck: It came about dogs and children.

356
00:25:58.390 --> 00:25:59.570
Jeezy: Boy?

357
00:26:03.560 --> 00:26:06.659
Manny: So, long story short, long story short, we learned nothing.

358
00:26:07.350 --> 00:26:11.849
Jeezy: We learned nothing, and to Chuck's point, even if we did learn everything.

359
00:26:13.030 --> 00:26:29.899
Jeezy: nothing's going to come of it, and that's unfortunate that we live in a society where that is the case, because we see so many other things, and I'm certainly not pitting crime and crime and sin to sin, you know, and comparing, but wrong is wrong.

360
00:26:30.060 --> 00:26:30.610
Jeezy: For sure.

361
00:26:30.610 --> 00:26:31.130
Manny: Yeah.

362
00:26:31.820 --> 00:26:39.299
Jeezy: And we see so often the extent, the energy, the time, the resources

363
00:26:39.530 --> 00:26:47.709
Jeezy: Used on so many other things, which are valid issues that need clarity, they need answers, they need closure.

364
00:26:48.050 --> 00:26:51.149
Jeezy: But this is something of a magnitude.

365
00:26:51.580 --> 00:26:54.010
Jeezy: That deserves the utmost.

366
00:26:54.290 --> 00:26:57.289
Jeezy: And we see that eventually, it's just going to fall flat.

367
00:26:57.290 --> 00:26:57.810
Manny: Yeah.

368
00:26:58.110 --> 00:27:01.420
Jeezy: It's not gonna go anywhere, and I feel for the…

369
00:27:01.770 --> 00:27:14.270
Jeezy: the victims. You know, you have victims that stood on Congress and stood and said, hey, we want this release. Man, we talking about kids, they grown folks now. Yeah. But we talking about kids that have experienced this.

370
00:27:14.510 --> 00:27:30.019
Jeezy: Everyone else, they know these faces. They see, you know, whether it was Donald Trump, or Chris Tucker, or Bill Clinton, or whoever these people… they see these people go on to thrive in life, and then they have to hold that trauma, and then they see the American government basically playing their face about it.

371
00:27:30.750 --> 00:27:46.509
Chuck: And you know what's funny? You make that point, that they were kids then, and they're grown now. I just saw a meme, yesterday, that said… I see people talk about 30 years ago, and I'm thinking 1967. 30 years ago is 1995.

372
00:27:46.510 --> 00:27:47.420
Jeezy: Bruh. Right.

373
00:27:47.730 --> 00:27:50.250
Jeezy: I remember 1995 well.

374
00:27:50.250 --> 00:27:52.910
Chuck: Well! Very well.

375
00:27:52.910 --> 00:27:58.889
Jeezy: Bruh, man, it's crazy, and it's unfortunate, and I think that…

376
00:27:59.540 --> 00:28:03.080
Jeezy: the game that's being played with this Epstein Files is eventually it'll…

377
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:21.260
Jeezy: It'll go away. And it's sad. You even hear the president saying now, like, why are we still talking about it? We still talking about this loser? It ain't about the loser, it's about what happened that was tied to that loser, that there are people who are living still with that trauma and trying to move on with life with no closure. That should be your, your, your, your,

378
00:28:21.320 --> 00:28:39.070
Jeezy: the thing that you should put your hat on, that you should tilt your hat on, but instead, you say, oh, well, no, we're not gonna worry about it, it's just a hoax, it's all this Democrat… man, look, there's no good or good or bad side… well, there's no right side of this, because somebody's gonna lose in this situation, whether… whichever way it falls.

379
00:28:39.070 --> 00:28:43.459
Chuck: Facts. He talks about… talks about these files and everything like it's Area 51.

380
00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:44.010
Jeezy: Bruh.

381
00:28:44.010 --> 00:28:44.580
Manny: Bruh.

382
00:28:44.580 --> 00:28:48.309
Chuck: It is not. It is not hairy than what it is.

383
00:28:48.310 --> 00:28:52.199
Jeezy: Just expose what you and your homies were doing, and call it a day.

384
00:28:52.560 --> 00:29:06.600
Manny: The… and again, just to be factual with all of our listeners, one thing that I think that we did learn through all of this is that the U.S. government, shockingly.

385
00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:13.790
Manny: knew about Epstein for a really long time before they started to do anything.

386
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:20.369
Manny: Because it was confirmed that in 1996, so what, 29 years ago.

387
00:29:20.370 --> 00:29:20.720
Jeezy: Yeah.

388
00:29:20.760 --> 00:29:24.780
Manny: that the FBI got a tip and a complaint.

389
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:26.570
Manny: from Maria Farmer.

390
00:29:26.990 --> 00:29:33.259
Manny: about him. And… it was more than a decade before any real movement.

391
00:29:33.390 --> 00:29:34.110
Manny: occurred.

392
00:29:34.110 --> 00:29:38.289
Jeezy: Amen. Hard to do anything about it when there are all the people that's around you involved, too.

393
00:29:39.040 --> 00:29:50.030
Manny: But, and it shows… you know, we talk about the, you know, the Department of Justice and government, and the FBI, and these other government agencies.

394
00:29:51.260 --> 00:29:55.539
Manny: Being bad, not being able to function, you know.

395
00:29:55.650 --> 00:30:09.240
Manny: 1996, what, that goes through the Clinton administration? Yeah. The Bush administration? The Obama… there are systemic things that are… that is wrong with our government apparatus.

396
00:30:10.420 --> 00:30:16.159
Manny: And this is just another key failure that is just… so as much as we talk about

397
00:30:16.520 --> 00:30:21.869
Manny: Trump being really, really bad at his job, and we're… and let… let me be clear.

398
00:30:22.820 --> 00:30:25.380
Manny: This man is really not good at the job.

399
00:30:25.530 --> 00:30:26.860
Manny: Right.

400
00:30:27.930 --> 00:30:30.549
Manny: He is very not good at his job.

401
00:30:30.550 --> 00:30:31.240
Jeezy: Yeah.

402
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:37.910
Manny: In vehicles that have… Very, very low hope of operating effectively anyway.

403
00:30:40.610 --> 00:30:42.380
Manny: So… Yeah.

404
00:30:42.380 --> 00:30:45.069
Jeezy: Man, you know, I just think that…

405
00:30:45.220 --> 00:30:49.330
Jeezy: This'll… this'll die off. It has started to die off.

406
00:30:51.160 --> 00:31:03.189
Jeezy: And if you are a victim of whatever heinous activity that happened that was tied to this individual, and powerful leaders that were in connection with him.

407
00:31:03.390 --> 00:31:08.319
Jeezy: I'm sorry that you… if you feel that justice is not served.

408
00:31:08.860 --> 00:31:11.300
Manny: But we live in a society where that…

409
00:31:11.300 --> 00:31:14.069
Jeezy: Seems to be incapable of happening.

410
00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:19.740
Jeezy: And… maybe you'll find peace somewhere. That's the only thing I can think of, bruh.

411
00:31:19.740 --> 00:31:24.790
Manny: I was gonna let it go, but I can't. Jeez.

412
00:31:25.540 --> 00:31:28.680
Audio shared by Jeezy: -Oh.

413
00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:33.280
Chuck: I'm starting to see space.

414
00:31:33.280 --> 00:31:39.539
Manny: My question is, where's Anonymous?

415
00:31:40.430 --> 00:31:41.830
Jeezy: Have you… bruh, he has been…

416
00:31:41.830 --> 00:31:42.290
Manny: Hmm.

417
00:31:42.290 --> 00:31:43.410
Jeezy: When's the last time we seen him?

418
00:31:43.410 --> 00:31:47.440
Manny: Bruh, we ain't see… like, this is their…

419
00:31:48.060 --> 00:31:49.469
Jeezy: This is… this is… look, this is your.

420
00:31:49.470 --> 00:31:51.840
Manny: Finding files.

421
00:31:51.840 --> 00:31:55.440
Jeezy: We have you on the team for this very reason.

422
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:56.719
Chuck: It is very rainy.

423
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:02.209
Jeezy: We looked to the bench, and he ain't there. We were ready to call you into the game, and he gone.

424
00:32:02.770 --> 00:32:03.580
Manny: Bruh, this…

425
00:32:03.580 --> 00:32:05.100
Chuck: I don't know what anonymous is.

426
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:13.630
Chuck: Anonymous is that team manager Who, for whatever reason, Ain't on the team.

427
00:32:13.970 --> 00:32:18.119
Chuck: But for that one game, We let him suit up!

428
00:32:18.280 --> 00:32:20.360
Chuck: And he come in and hit 4 or 5 threes.

429
00:32:20.360 --> 00:32:21.460
Manny: Right, right.

430
00:32:21.460 --> 00:32:22.290
Chuck: We celebrated.

431
00:32:23.550 --> 00:32:28.920
Chuck: And we turn around, And he gone again. Where are… I'm with you, Manny, where's another one?

432
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:30.839
Manny: Where is Anonymous?

433
00:32:31.020 --> 00:32:36.039
Manny: This is their bread and butter. Find documents, release documents.

434
00:32:36.040 --> 00:32:40.790
Jeezy: Or, if the person who was anonymous worked for the government, they finally found them out, sift them out.

435
00:32:45.170 --> 00:32:45.949
Audio shared by Jeezy: I see.

436
00:32:45.950 --> 00:32:48.470
Chuck: The triple-double!

437
00:32:48.470 --> 00:32:51.939
Jeezy: You look for anonymous. Anonymous going, bro.

438
00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:59.799
Manny: For the record, none of us are looking for anonymous, and we are not. We are… Please don't knock on my phone.

439
00:32:59.800 --> 00:33:01.309
Jeezy: But I'mma tell you right now…

440
00:33:01.310 --> 00:33:02.389
Manny: Oh,

441
00:33:02.390 --> 00:33:03.960
Chuck: You can't take some student loans, I don't care nothing about them.

442
00:33:05.300 --> 00:33:07.230
Jeezy: I ain't getting… Message!

443
00:33:08.570 --> 00:33:09.590
Chuck: Where's Aaron?

444
00:33:09.590 --> 00:33:10.659
Jeezy: Everything else but this.

445
00:33:11.820 --> 00:33:12.370
Chuck: Bush.

446
00:33:12.370 --> 00:33:14.979
Jeezy: Down whole pipelines, but can't touch them student loans.

447
00:33:14.990 --> 00:33:16.889
Chuck: Exactly, man, get out of here.

448
00:33:16.890 --> 00:33:20.079
Manny: Hacking every other government entity.

449
00:33:20.080 --> 00:33:20.550
Jeezy: Bruh.

450
00:33:20.550 --> 00:33:22.250
Manny: Except this.

451
00:33:22.250 --> 00:33:29.620
Jeezy: The ones that will help… it never helped the American people. These people that hack these things, why y'all ain't trying to help us?

452
00:33:29.620 --> 00:33:34.120
Manny: Y'all get focused. Y'all get focused on the things that are important.

453
00:33:34.730 --> 00:33:39.829
Chuck: They got all these cyber attacks in all these other areas, but what is truly necessary.

454
00:33:39.830 --> 00:33:40.420
Jeezy: Thank you.

455
00:33:40.420 --> 00:33:43.399
Manny: I don't care about the U.S. Parks website.

456
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.379
Chuck: I don't care that about it. I ain't never been to it.

457
00:33:45.550 --> 00:33:46.100
Manny: What the hell.

458
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:57.730
Jeezy: I can't… bruh, you shut down the whole network, and I can't get no gas. Bruh, gas too high, and I can't afford it anyway. Bruh, well, you ain't helped me. How about you go in there and make them dials come down so gas is a dollar?

459
00:33:57.940 --> 00:34:00.340
Jeezy: For, like, 5 hours, and everybody go fill up.

460
00:34:00.340 --> 00:34:01.000
Manny: You're right.

461
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:02.820
Jeezy: That's what a hacker should be doing.

462
00:34:03.190 --> 00:34:04.329
Manny: Ethical hacking, man.

463
00:34:04.330 --> 00:34:05.699
Chuck: Ethical hacking.

464
00:34:07.500 --> 00:34:10.280
Chuck: Responsible, sensible hacking.

465
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:12.539
Jeezy: Bruh. We just don't… we don't get that.

466
00:34:12.540 --> 00:34:12.900
Manny: come by.

467
00:34:12.909 --> 00:34:14.349
Jeezy: Everybody else who should've got hacked.

468
00:34:14.790 --> 00:34:15.689
Chuck: Oh, Lord.

469
00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:19.379
Jeezy: Whoa! Yeah, oh, bruh, yeah.

470
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:28.040
Jeezy: First of all, yeah. That was egregious. Whoa! That was egregious. That causes for a moment of silence.

471
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:32.979
Jeezy: Alright, yeah, I'm back.

472
00:34:32.980 --> 00:34:35.900
Manny: We had to clean the pallet on that one.

473
00:34:35.909 --> 00:34:37.919
Jeezy: I had hands off.

474
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.360
Chuck: I smell the coffee beans. Coffee beans!

475
00:34:42.710 --> 00:34:43.380
Chuck: Yeah, it's like…

476
00:34:44.650 --> 00:34:52.989
Jeezy: Someone that we are very familiar with didn't have such a great week, and decided to hop on TV at prime time.

477
00:34:53.120 --> 00:34:55.600
Jeezy: And, address the nation.

478
00:34:56.250 --> 00:35:03.800
Jeezy: Address the nation, so… This past week, on Wednesday, December the 17th, President Trump.

479
00:35:04.210 --> 00:35:09.179
Jeezy: Decided to do a prime-time address to the nation.

480
00:35:09.780 --> 00:35:10.990
Jeezy: And…

481
00:35:15.550 --> 00:35:16.690
Jeezy: What was that?

482
00:35:17.730 --> 00:35:21.400
Manny: Look, I, for one, am just shocked that,

483
00:35:21.710 --> 00:35:24.480
Manny: They were able to find the time to do this.

484
00:35:24.860 --> 00:35:27.499
Manny: Where that didn't conflict with anything else.

485
00:35:28.310 --> 00:35:29.490
Chuck: Oh, but it did.

486
00:35:29.650 --> 00:35:31.170
Manny: Oh, it definitely did.

487
00:35:31.170 --> 00:35:32.150
Jeezy: It definitely did.

488
00:35:32.150 --> 00:35:34.180
Chuck: The season finale of Survivor.

489
00:35:34.850 --> 00:35:36.370
Jeezy: Bruh, that's important.

490
00:35:36.370 --> 00:35:44.669
Chuck: That's important. And for me, and for me, in my house, we gonna serve the Lord. We got, we had another show. It's called…

491
00:35:44.890 --> 00:35:45.950
Chuck: the floor.

492
00:35:46.580 --> 00:35:49.370
Chuck: on Fox. It's a little trivia.

493
00:35:49.370 --> 00:35:52.500
Manny: Oh, were they… okay, I've seen the floor.

494
00:35:52.630 --> 00:35:53.279
Chuck: Yeah, it…

495
00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:53.779
Manny: What about you?

496
00:35:53.780 --> 00:35:56.980
Chuck: They preempted the floor and the Survivor finale.

497
00:35:56.980 --> 00:36:00.840
Jeezy: Well, I think that… I think that most people would agree.

498
00:36:01.410 --> 00:36:03.289
Jeezy: That if you're gonna interrupt my time.

499
00:36:03.810 --> 00:36:04.979
Manny: Make it worth my time?

500
00:36:05.330 --> 00:36:12.700
Jeezy: Make it, make it, bruh, make it worth my time. If you gon' get up, if you gon' get up here and ask me to tune in, then give me something…

501
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:14.519
Jeezy: Worth tuning in to.

502
00:36:14.870 --> 00:36:18.370
Jeezy: And President Trump didn't do nothing but as he always do.

503
00:36:19.120 --> 00:36:19.820
Jeezy: La.

504
00:36:20.530 --> 00:36:21.169
Manny: Well, what I…

505
00:36:21.170 --> 00:36:22.320
Jeezy: What'd our boy say, Manny?

506
00:36:22.560 --> 00:36:26.150
Audio shared by Jeezy: Somebody told a lie one day.

507
00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:29.760
Jeezy: Somebody told several lies on that primetime evening.

508
00:36:30.250 --> 00:36:36.070
Manny: Here's why I will denote. We saw… Teleprompter Trump.

509
00:36:36.900 --> 00:36:37.440
Manny: Which is…

510
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.040
Jeezy: Oh, definitely, definitely.

511
00:36:39.040 --> 00:36:42.160
Manny: Which is the best… which is the best version of Trump?

512
00:36:43.090 --> 00:36:45.890
Manny: If we got more of Teleprompter Trump.

513
00:36:46.040 --> 00:36:50.319
Manny: We might be in a little bit less of a predicament day-to-day.

514
00:36:51.550 --> 00:36:58.920
Manny: But, yeah, so he was kind of all over the place. He started off talking about the economy.

515
00:36:59.110 --> 00:37:02.080
Manny: And he claimed that the U.S. is stronger.

516
00:37:02.270 --> 00:37:04.369
Manny: And more respected.

517
00:37:04.970 --> 00:37:06.290
Manny: Than ever before.

518
00:37:07.820 --> 00:37:14.500
Manny: and that we should be expecting a economic boom in 2026. Chuck, what's your…

519
00:37:14.500 --> 00:37:15.300
Chuck: Oh…

520
00:37:20.690 --> 00:37:28.389
Chuck: So, speaking to the wonderful economic boom in 2026,

521
00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:30.510
Chuck: Everybody won't see that economic boom.

522
00:37:30.510 --> 00:37:32.540
Manny: But, absolutely not.

523
00:37:32.540 --> 00:37:38.659
Chuck: Because what y'all don't realize, what he's talking about, is the tax cuts and the…

524
00:37:38.910 --> 00:37:50.350
Chuck: income tax returns, or refunds, that some Americans will be getting due to the tax cuts from the big, beautiful bill. That's a big, beautiful mess.

525
00:37:50.350 --> 00:37:50.910
Manny: Yep.

526
00:37:51.190 --> 00:37:55.180
Chuck: But… I don't know about you all.

527
00:37:56.250 --> 00:38:01.220
Chuck: But I haven't seen a big, beautiful income tax return in a big, beautiful, long time.

528
00:38:01.220 --> 00:38:03.420
Jeezy: Bruh.

529
00:38:03.420 --> 00:38:08.120
Chuck: Like, like, I mean, and, and please understand.

530
00:38:08.600 --> 00:38:11.180
Chuck: I'm thankful, because that means…

531
00:38:11.180 --> 00:38:11.960
Manny: Always.

532
00:38:12.190 --> 00:38:18.779
Chuck: I am at a place, and my household is at a place where… We are not,

533
00:38:19.660 --> 00:38:24.509
Chuck: We're paying out more than we're getting in, in regards to the tax returns.

534
00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:29.139
Chuck: But yeah, those, those returns…

535
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:36.390
Chuck: are not gonna be enough to boost the economy. And it's no different than the.

536
00:38:36.390 --> 00:38:39.559
Manny: Not in a… not in a meaningful, long.

537
00:38:39.560 --> 00:38:40.829
Chuck: Yeah, well, yes, long time.

538
00:38:40.830 --> 00:38:41.979
Manny: Sustainable, yeah.

539
00:38:42.380 --> 00:38:51.240
Chuck: Yeah, for two and a half months, maybe, if that long. But it's no different than him boasting about,

540
00:38:51.690 --> 00:38:54.979
Chuck: No, no taxes on overtime and tips.

541
00:38:55.350 --> 00:38:56.860
Chuck: Let's be realistic here.

542
00:38:58.160 --> 00:39:01.360
Manny: people don't report their tips properly in the first place.

543
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:01.890
Jeezy: Bingo.

544
00:39:02.450 --> 00:39:07.069
Jeezy: I never thought that somebody that gets tipped would be reporting them correctly.

545
00:39:07.070 --> 00:39:08.220
Chuck: Never.

546
00:39:08.220 --> 00:39:17.140
Manny: It would just… and before we even get to, like, the malice of it, just the… the raw… that was… sorry.

547
00:39:17.700 --> 00:39:20.239
Manny: Yeah, I was gonna say it was just getting real wild.

548
00:39:20.570 --> 00:39:21.699
Jeezy: Get a yellow card.

549
00:39:21.700 --> 00:39:33.929
Manny: The… the mathematics of it all, to be able to keep, calculate, and tabulate that amount while still doing other facets of your job, like, it just provides a challenge already.

550
00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:40.210
Chuck: And furthermore, I'm not gonna tell y'all my business, cause y'all gonna make me pay more taxes on it.

551
00:39:40.210 --> 00:39:40.930
Jeezy: Bingo.

552
00:39:41.970 --> 00:39:47.709
Chuck: That was the number one reason. I used to be a waiter back in the day, you know? And then… and my midnight ballerinas are not gonna…

553
00:39:47.910 --> 00:39:54.280
Chuck: tell what they truly make. Like, no, that's not how that works. And in overtime.

554
00:39:54.610 --> 00:39:58.770
Chuck: How many companies allowing employees to have overtime like that?

555
00:39:58.770 --> 00:40:01.249
Jeezy: Bruh, none. Not enough that's worth doing.

556
00:40:01.550 --> 00:40:02.260
Chuck: Lowe!

557
00:40:02.260 --> 00:40:02.830
Jeezy: Not at all.

558
00:40:02.830 --> 00:40:10.630
Chuck: Not at all! So, for me, that whole notion, when he started spouting that information, I'm like, bruh…

559
00:40:10.940 --> 00:40:13.219
Chuck: Let's be realistic here.

560
00:40:13.530 --> 00:40:14.630
Jeezy: Trump, man.

561
00:40:14.630 --> 00:40:16.720
Chuck: You're talking wild.

562
00:40:16.720 --> 00:40:23.460
Jeezy: I think… do we all agree? Well, before I… because I want to get into some of the claims, the key claims that Trump made.

563
00:40:24.020 --> 00:40:39.319
Jeezy: Do we believe, or can we agree, or what are your thoughts, rather, of… do you think that his prime time address to the nation, do you believe it… it, you know, hit it over the fence? Do you think it got it in the park, or do you think it fell flat?

564
00:40:39.700 --> 00:40:41.009
Chuck: It hit it over the fence.

565
00:40:41.140 --> 00:40:44.110
Jeezy: Okay. It went flying over the fence.

566
00:40:44.110 --> 00:40:45.669
Chuck: As a foul ball.

567
00:40:45.670 --> 00:40:47.800
Jeezy: I like that.

568
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:49.830
Manny: Just straight over the fence.

569
00:40:49.830 --> 00:40:52.900
Chuck: Wow!

570
00:40:52.900 --> 00:40:54.680
Jeezy: The Subaru in the parking lot.

571
00:40:54.680 --> 00:40:59.460
Chuck: Crack somebody's windshield, yeah, like… Hit the little kid walking in the park.

572
00:40:59.460 --> 00:41:01.840
Jeezy: Like, no.

573
00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:06.540
Manny: I think it depends. I think it depends on which game you're watching.

574
00:41:08.150 --> 00:41:25.750
Manny: Because I think what some of this did is it reconfirm to some of his base. This… the speech that we saw was strictly for his base. Like, I heard nothing of that that leads me to, like, even remotely think.

575
00:41:25.750 --> 00:41:37.530
Manny: that this was for Democrats or for people who didn't agree with him. For sure, for sure. This speech was about him trying to keep his base intact.

576
00:41:37.610 --> 00:41:41.299
Manny: Because someone has finally made it aware to him

577
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:44.550
Manny: That, hey, they're starting to feel the squeeze.

578
00:41:44.730 --> 00:41:45.739
Chuck: But I think the thing.

579
00:41:45.740 --> 00:41:53.200
Jeezy: that he's… but many, that's all fine and good, but I think that the MAGA… individuals.

580
00:41:54.110 --> 00:41:58.950
Jeezy: Are not in the same mindset as they were before. There's probably some that still are.

581
00:41:58.950 --> 00:41:59.720
Chuck: some, yeah.

582
00:41:59.720 --> 00:42:00.869
Manny: Right, bump for the…

583
00:42:00.870 --> 00:42:07.579
Jeezy: But you… but some of these key claims that he's talking about, regardless of if you're drinking a Kool-Aid or not.

584
00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:10.890
Jeezy: Unless you're just out of touch with reality.

585
00:42:11.820 --> 00:42:12.400
Manny: Which…

586
00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:16.489
Jeezy: You… which y'all lie tomorrow, I get it, I get it, I get it.

587
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:21.070
Jeezy: But there gotta be a growing amount of this movement.

588
00:42:21.070 --> 00:42:21.640
Manny: No.

589
00:42:21.640 --> 00:42:25.049
Jeezy: They're identifying, they're saying, yeah, bruh.

590
00:42:25.050 --> 00:42:25.640
Manny: Absolutely.

591
00:42:25.640 --> 00:42:29.740
Chuck: Absolutely. To what you were saying, though, real quick.

592
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:30.900
Chuck: Yes.

593
00:42:31.630 --> 00:42:40.040
Chuck: he was speaking to his base, no question about that, but that's why I said it's a foul ball. I love baseball, my favorite sport.

594
00:42:40.390 --> 00:42:52.010
Chuck: And they say those long shots that hit the stands, but goes foul is just a long strike. And you can't convince those in Nebraska

595
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:55.950
Chuck: That what you're spewing is facts.

596
00:42:55.950 --> 00:42:56.490
Jeezy: Yep.

597
00:42:57.010 --> 00:43:08.530
Chuck: And that's… and to your point about his base, those in the Midwest, those in those rural areas who are dealing with the prices going up.

598
00:43:08.710 --> 00:43:09.369
Jeezy: Do you hurt?

599
00:43:09.370 --> 00:43:22.089
Chuck: Losing this, you're losing that. Yes, yes, he… oh, man, he was passionate. But, buddy, we're… I'm… you're talking about in the future, next… you're talking about next year. Yeah. I'm dealing with right now.

600
00:43:22.090 --> 00:43:23.700
Jeezy: Some of them ain't gonna make it in the queue.

601
00:43:24.350 --> 00:43:29.469
Manny: All of these… all of these are valid points, and I agree with y'all completely.

602
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:35.130
Manny: Chuck, to get to… to add to your baseball analogy, I consider this speech…

603
00:43:35.550 --> 00:43:44.670
Manny: That ball that you hit directly above the foul line post, and depend… to your point, I think for the people in his base.

604
00:43:44.890 --> 00:43:55.760
Manny: that just needed to be comforted to hear from him, saying that he still cares and is focused on these things, I think this speech was very comforting for them.

605
00:43:55.980 --> 00:44:03.630
Manny: But for the people… but for the people who actually read the tea leaves, the people who are actually dealing with the farmers.

606
00:44:03.950 --> 00:44:04.410
Chuck: Yes.

607
00:44:04.410 --> 00:44:06.710
Manny: Can't pull it back over their eyes.

608
00:44:06.710 --> 00:44:07.130
Chuck: Yes.

609
00:44:07.130 --> 00:44:11.849
Manny: Those… those people, while this speech was for them, Yeah, it probably.

610
00:44:11.850 --> 00:44:18.160
Chuck: It wasn't for them. It was for them, but it wasn't for them. I'm with you. I'm with you. Okay, in that regard, I'm with you. I'm with you.

611
00:44:18.160 --> 00:44:27.749
Jeezy: Yeah, that's what I was about to actually say, but yeah, I definitely agree. But I think that the thing for me is that, you know, with some of these key claims.

612
00:44:29.100 --> 00:44:35.680
Jeezy: Trump plays a dangerous game coming into 2028, because if… if he doesn't fix these things…

613
00:44:36.010 --> 00:44:40.250
Jeezy: If these things don't become a reality that he speaks of, then…

614
00:44:40.560 --> 00:44:42.610
Jeezy: Where does that leave the movement?

615
00:44:42.830 --> 00:44:44.120
Manny: Because…

616
00:44:44.120 --> 00:44:48.509
Jeezy: You know, when you claim, you know, one of the key claims, economy and cost of living.

617
00:44:48.740 --> 00:44:49.550
Jeezy: Right?

618
00:44:49.680 --> 00:44:51.050
Jeezy: Inflation has stopped.

619
00:44:52.220 --> 00:44:53.799
Jeezy: Has inflation stopped?

620
00:44:54.070 --> 00:44:55.500
Manny: Can't stop, won't stop.

621
00:44:55.500 --> 00:45:01.019
Jeezy: Prices across the board are coming down. Is that true? No, it's not.

622
00:45:02.090 --> 00:45:08.170
Jeezy: You know, Americans can finally get relief at the grocery store and at the pump. Is that true? No.

623
00:45:09.010 --> 00:45:09.360
Manny: wait.

624
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:14.399
Chuck: I mean, it's all about how you define relief.

625
00:45:15.650 --> 00:45:16.800
Jeezy: Now…

626
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:17.310
Chuck: How do you…

627
00:45:17.310 --> 00:45:19.049
Manny: Sorry. Look, look, look, I…

628
00:45:19.050 --> 00:45:20.659
Jeezy: How about saying that made it? Come on now.

629
00:45:20.660 --> 00:45:24.529
Manny: I was trying to find something there, and I was like, yep, nope, nobody.

630
00:45:24.530 --> 00:45:28.140
Jeezy: You may have given us a glimpse of what it is to be MAGA.

631
00:45:28.790 --> 00:45:30.020
Jeezy: Because…

632
00:45:32.100 --> 00:45:32.620
Manny: That's hard…

633
00:45:33.780 --> 00:45:34.110
Jeezy: It's.

634
00:45:34.110 --> 00:45:35.750
Chuck: You spent?

635
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.880
Manny: If I spend… I'm sorry.

636
00:45:39.020 --> 00:45:41.099
Chuck: Real quick, man.

637
00:45:41.500 --> 00:45:47.329
Chuck: I'll yield the floor, Matt, but I'm gonna tell you why that was so funny to me. So, listeners…

638
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:52.730
Chuck: As you all know, Manny is… a registered Republican.

639
00:45:52.730 --> 00:45:53.210
Jeezy: Yes.

640
00:45:53.210 --> 00:45:54.670
Chuck: He had.

641
00:45:54.670 --> 00:45:56.200
Jeezy: That we love, that we love dearly.

642
00:45:56.200 --> 00:46:00.460
Chuck: we love dearly, and I've known Manny for a long time now.

643
00:46:00.460 --> 00:46:01.640
Manny: Going on 20 years.

644
00:46:01.640 --> 00:46:16.560
Chuck: I would say, yeah, almost 20 years. I've known him, and he's been… he's been a Republican this entire time that I've known him. And it has been different instances where we've had to, as a friend group, stand up.

645
00:46:16.560 --> 00:46:18.740
Manny: remaining.

646
00:46:18.740 --> 00:46:27.610
Chuck: Because people find out he's a Republican, and their whole view of him changes after they've, you know, been endearing to him.

647
00:46:27.610 --> 00:46:28.000
Manny: You know.

648
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:44.729
Chuck: I was like, oh, he's a Republican? I'd be like, whoa, whoa, slow down now. Not too much on my board. Not too much. And so, for Jeezy to say… Right. To say that about Mandy, which just took me back to those moments. It was so funny. I do apologize.

649
00:46:44.940 --> 00:46:52.919
Manny: Look, and on a side note, if it was one of those moments where one of y'all… Jeezy…

650
00:46:53.370 --> 00:46:56.489
Manny: Standing up for me is how I met my wife.

651
00:46:56.910 --> 00:46:57.320
Jeezy: Yep.

652
00:46:58.160 --> 00:46:59.180
Chuck: Oh, wow.

653
00:46:59.180 --> 00:46:59.800
Jeezy: Yep.

654
00:47:00.900 --> 00:47:01.510
Manny: So…

655
00:47:01.510 --> 00:47:01.860
Jeezy: Sue?

656
00:47:02.730 --> 00:47:08.249
Jeezy: But even in that, though… You know, these claims that Trump makes. Gas prices.

657
00:47:08.250 --> 00:47:09.119
Manny: These are wild-ass clients.

658
00:47:09.120 --> 00:47:10.400
Chuck: That was… that was my favorite climb.

659
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:11.040
Manny: Right.

660
00:47:11.040 --> 00:47:28.349
Jeezy: That was my favorite claim. He said that the national gas price was under $2.50, and he said some states, and he's been saying this for a while, that some states are seeing $1.99 gas. Bruh, I want you to know, the last time I say… bruh, I got a story, and I'm gonna keep it real brief.

661
00:47:29.090 --> 00:47:36.429
Jeezy: I remember when I first got my license when I was 16, and there was a gas station down the street from my grandmother's house, and the gas was $1.06.

662
00:47:36.610 --> 00:47:49.770
Jeezy: And I was going to pull in and get gas. And my mom said, why you gonna get gas here when the jiffy mark down the street got gas for $1.02? I said, Mom, it's $1.06, $1.07, that's… like…

663
00:47:49.970 --> 00:47:51.509
Jeezy: I don't… I'm not understanding, like.

664
00:47:51.510 --> 00:47:51.880
Manny: It's cheap.

665
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:57.649
Jeezy: It's a dollar for some… bruh, I had a Nissan Altima. I could fill that mug up for $20 a ride for a month.

666
00:47:57.650 --> 00:47:59.310
Manny: being good.

667
00:47:59.310 --> 00:48:00.720
Jeezy: As an adult now?

668
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:14.140
Jeezy: Oh, that 5 cents. Bruh, I got… bruh, I have to imagine that if my granddaddy, if my grandma was alive today, and saw gas prices at $4, they sweving down, it was a work of the devil.

669
00:48:14.140 --> 00:48:15.010
Manny: It was…

670
00:48:15.010 --> 00:48:17.490
Chuck: devil, and Jesus was about to return.

671
00:48:17.490 --> 00:48:25.619
Jeezy: There is no way that we living in this time that Jesus ain't came and got us, because what do you mean gas is $3, $4? I'm insane.

672
00:48:26.080 --> 00:48:31.970
Chuck: I'mma age myself. So, to your point, I remember when I first started driving.

673
00:48:32.190 --> 00:48:36.579
Chuck: Gas? I've seen gas as low as 75 cents a gallon.

674
00:48:36.940 --> 00:48:37.780
Jeezy: Wow.

675
00:48:37.780 --> 00:48:38.920
Manny: and…

676
00:48:39.290 --> 00:48:44.140
Chuck: Very much like your mom, Oh, I'll drive down the street for 3 cents.

677
00:48:44.900 --> 00:48:45.519
Chuck: This is lower!

678
00:48:46.420 --> 00:48:59.000
Chuck: Hey, but yeah, this claim about gas is under $2.50 a gallon in much of the country, and in some states…

679
00:48:59.900 --> 00:49:00.370
Jeezy: Not a lot.

680
00:49:00.370 --> 00:49:08.120
Chuck: $1.99, when… There's transportation agencies who report gas prices weekly.

681
00:49:08.120 --> 00:49:10.649
Jeezy: Every week. I get a recording every week.

682
00:49:10.650 --> 00:49:12.250
Manny: Really? Oh my…

683
00:49:12.250 --> 00:49:15.369
Jeezy: And I have not seen none of these prices, but this is, again.

684
00:49:15.370 --> 00:49:18.209
Chuck: Average gas price is $2 a And it's so…

685
00:49:18.210 --> 00:49:28.499
Jeezy: $2.90, homeboy said 40 cent cheap. First of all, 40 cents is a… That's a lot. That's a lot. I don't care what nobody tell you, that's a… that is a whole lot of gas.

686
00:49:28.500 --> 00:49:29.260
Manny: But…

687
00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:35.199
Jeezy: This is what I have a problem with for those that are supporters of Trump, and maybe if you're a listener of this podcast.

688
00:49:35.460 --> 00:49:38.700
Jeezy: And you are a Trump supporter?

689
00:49:38.900 --> 00:49:51.619
Jeezy: Please feel free to reach out, this is a safe space. Just because we disagree don't mean that it's not safe. But this is a lot that you can walk out of your house, get in your car, and within 5 minutes of your house, you can check and say, this is a lot.

690
00:49:53.320 --> 00:50:00.149
Jeezy: How do you believe… Bruh, this is so easy. You ain't even gotta leave your couch. You can just download the GasBuddy app.

691
00:50:00.150 --> 00:50:03.420
Chuck: GasBuddy, Upside, and you can see.

692
00:50:03.420 --> 00:50:04.879
Jeezy: This is a lie.

693
00:50:05.140 --> 00:50:13.289
Manny: What if… as they're taking Trump around, as he's… like, Saturday, he was in Rocky Mountain.

694
00:50:13.500 --> 00:50:15.839
Jeezy: Oh, bruh. No, Friday night, he was in Rockin' Mill.

695
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:17.260
Manny: Friday, yeah, Friday, same.

696
00:50:17.260 --> 00:50:18.960
Jeezy: Boy, I wanna talk about that.

697
00:50:19.110 --> 00:50:22.640
Manny: What if… When he lands.

698
00:50:23.250 --> 00:50:25.229
Manny: They take him on a route.

699
00:50:25.770 --> 00:50:34.020
Manny: And they drive him past gas stations, where they have changed the sign to say 225.

700
00:50:34.310 --> 00:50:42.220
Jeezy: Then why do we keep catering to this dementia-driven, Heavy head sippin'.

701
00:50:43.100 --> 00:50:45.460
Chuck: Roosevelt Ham!

702
00:50:45.520 --> 00:50:49.490
Jeezy: Food, like my grandma used to say, you don't call nobody no food. Food!

703
00:50:50.040 --> 00:50:53.580
Manny: Because we wanted to play games…

704
00:50:53.580 --> 00:50:54.360
Jeezy: Bruh.

705
00:50:55.480 --> 00:51:02.220
Jeezy: Democrats wanted… Democrats wanted to play games in 2016 and not take something serious.

706
00:51:02.270 --> 00:51:09.669
Manny: And because Republicans wanted to play around and not stomp out a movement that they should have stomped out in 2010.

707
00:51:10.210 --> 00:51:10.830
Jeezy: Welcome, everybody.

708
00:51:10.830 --> 00:51:14.219
Manny: That's why we're here. We're here because of that.

709
00:51:14.420 --> 00:51:23.589
Jeezy: Bruh, this is ridiculous. And he went even further, and I… bruh, there's so much I can get into about this, but I'mma keep it… I'mma keep it brief.

710
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:27.860
Jeezy: He got on gas, grocery prices. Now, all of us…

711
00:51:28.010 --> 00:51:30.209
Jeezy: Go to the grocery store at least once a week.

712
00:51:31.740 --> 00:51:43.679
Jeezy: Trump said that prices at a grocery store were back down. They were high up under the Biden administration, now they're low. And then he pulled out this turkey claim, which I think is terrible, because…

713
00:51:43.820 --> 00:51:48.100
Jeezy: Judging by social media, most Americans can't cook a turkey properly.

714
00:51:48.890 --> 00:52:03.859
Jeezy: It claimed that turkey prices were down 33%. Now, we're gonna… here at Pardon the Politics Podcast, when we have the opportunity to be factual, will be. The price of turkeys are down year over year, 16%.

715
00:52:04.240 --> 00:52:05.700
Jeezy: But not 33.

716
00:52:05.700 --> 00:52:07.200
Manny: Okay, so they are down.

717
00:52:07.200 --> 00:52:13.000
Jeezy: They're down. They're down. But Trump, when's the last time you bought a turkey? How did… where you getting that number from?

718
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:16.790
Jeezy: Overly grossed, inflated number.

719
00:52:19.230 --> 00:52:26.559
Manny: And is this… and it is as if the administration is almost unaware that we will check facts.

720
00:52:27.810 --> 00:52:28.450
Manny: They think.

721
00:52:28.450 --> 00:52:29.670
Jeezy: That we don't do many.

722
00:52:29.670 --> 00:52:33.830
Manny: Or… We're not… Like, they're entire agencies.

723
00:52:34.070 --> 00:52:37.719
Manny: That sit around and just wait for him to say something.

724
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:48.149
Manny: there are people who it is their job to just wait for him to say something and go verify that. And that sounds like a fantastic job to a degree.

725
00:52:48.150 --> 00:52:50.019
Jeezy: What society do we live in?

726
00:52:50.470 --> 00:52:57.050
Jeezy: that… There is a overwhelmingly amount of people in this country

727
00:52:57.570 --> 00:53:01.330
Jeezy: do not do this. Like, when I grew up as a kid.

728
00:53:01.490 --> 00:53:04.440
Jeezy: I was taught, not even in school, at home.

729
00:53:05.210 --> 00:53:11.359
Jeezy: Somebody tell you something, you make sure that they're telling the truth. Don't just believe anything that anybody tells you.

730
00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:17.160
Jeezy: That was both in church, that was both just in life. If a friend come up, somebody come up and say, hey, I'm your best friend.

731
00:53:17.460 --> 00:53:23.179
Jeezy: Don't just believe just because they say they're your best friend, let them prove to you how they are, who they say they are.

732
00:53:23.590 --> 00:53:29.539
Jeezy: Where did we get… Off and wrong in this… on this journey in life.

733
00:53:29.770 --> 00:53:30.840
Jeezy: that…

734
00:53:31.540 --> 00:53:38.850
Jeezy: Nobody believes that we should do what we should be doing, which is checking when somebody tells us something, instead of just believing it.

735
00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:43.440
Jeezy: we actually… Do our research and see if that's actually factual.

736
00:53:44.110 --> 00:53:47.030
Manny: Well, let's remember a key factor.

737
00:53:49.640 --> 00:53:54.129
Manny: The average U.S. citizen reads at a 7th to 8th grade level.

738
00:53:58.680 --> 00:54:04.710
Manny: And the work, and especially as we're talking about political policy.

739
00:54:05.230 --> 00:54:09.680
Manny: The ability to be able to dig into that and

740
00:54:10.160 --> 00:54:14.469
Manny: Can find itself to be very daunting.

741
00:54:15.090 --> 00:54:20.339
Manny: Therefore, There are people who rely on syndicates.

742
00:54:21.070 --> 00:54:23.369
Manny: To just tell them what it is.

743
00:54:23.690 --> 00:54:26.320
Manny: So they don't have to go through that process.

744
00:54:27.030 --> 00:54:35.260
Jeezy: Could that be linked to, somehow in this country, the, decline.

745
00:54:35.580 --> 00:54:39.350
Audio shared by Jeezy: Of our country's funding in public school education.

746

Audio shared by Jeezy: -Oh. -Oh.

747
00:54:46.270 --> 00:54:48.160
Chuck: I'm gonna say no.

748
00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:50.550
Jeezy: Because those…

749
00:54:50.550 --> 00:54:53.439
Chuck: Those idiot… those idiots were already out of school.

750
00:54:53.860 --> 00:55:00.750
Chuck: Before they started… the start of the decline, and they raised those dummies that followed up after them.

751
00:55:01.050 --> 00:55:02.010
Audio shared by Jeezy: Message!

752
00:55:04.100 --> 00:55:05.870
Chuck: I'm sorry, but, I mean, there

753
00:55:08.530 --> 00:55:21.310
Chuck: There are other… there are other things that definitely have been impacted by that, like reading comprehension, sensibility, many other areas. But I have a… I blame…

754
00:55:21.610 --> 00:55:22.860
Chuck: a billionaire.

755
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:24.070
Jeezy: Okay.

756
00:55:24.370 --> 00:55:25.010
Manny: Which one?

757
00:55:25.010 --> 00:55:27.480
Chuck: Mr. Mark Zuckerberg.

758
00:55:28.370 --> 00:55:29.630
Chuck: I blame him.

759
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:36.080
Chuck: And the reason I blame him is because you stole those guys' idea.

760
00:55:36.080 --> 00:55:38.219
Manny: The Winklevasses.

761
00:55:38.220 --> 00:55:41.189
Chuck: I'm glad you knew that name, because that name is almost Paul's word.

762
00:55:41.190 --> 00:55:41.680
Jeezy: Bruh.

763
00:55:41.680 --> 00:55:45.840
Chuck: But you stole those brothers' ideal.

764
00:55:46.560 --> 00:55:51.570
Chuck: And it devoid an area of checks and balances.

765
00:55:51.700 --> 00:55:53.259
Chuck: And ever since.

766
00:55:53.420 --> 00:56:02.439
Chuck: Facebook has been allowed to be consumed by individuals who do not have a college email address. What goes on Facebook?

767
00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:04.239
Manny: Bruh. It is gospel.

768
00:56:04.240 --> 00:56:04.700
Jeezy: Terrible.

769
00:56:04.700 --> 00:56:12.000
Chuck: And I say that from a standpoint of someone who has to preach to my grandmother Weekly.

770
00:56:12.950 --> 00:56:13.890
Chuck: Grandma.

771
00:56:14.380 --> 00:56:16.609
Chuck: Just cause it's on Facebook don't mean it's real.

772
00:56:16.980 --> 00:56:20.359
Chuck: And so many people… Eat this up.

773
00:56:20.850 --> 00:56:22.610
Chuck: and… and…

774
00:56:22.610 --> 00:56:25.309
Manny: And it's getting worse and harder to go. It's getting worse.

775
00:56:25.520 --> 00:56:32.509
Chuck: worse and harder, and then now you got AI in it, and then everybody's talking about everything is AI. Man, y'all don't…

776
00:56:32.770 --> 00:56:33.710
Jeezy: Y'all to… bruh.

777
00:56:33.710 --> 00:56:41.019
Chuck: Y'all don't know the difference between word processor and a digital document.

778
00:56:41.020 --> 00:56:41.510
Jeezy: Bruh.

779
00:56:41.510 --> 00:56:43.140
Chuck: Everything is AI to you.

780
00:56:43.140 --> 00:56:48.230
Jeezy: When somebody be saying, oh, is this AI? I'm like, bruh, no, that's a… that's a live photo.

781
00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:49.960
Manny: That's real.

782
00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:51.353
Manny: That's all…

783
00:56:51.870 --> 00:56:54.740
Jeezy: I was like, that's real.

784
00:56:55.070 --> 00:57:00.580
Chuck: Like, it's, it's, it's so… so draining.

785
00:57:00.730 --> 00:57:06.250
Chuck: The amount of… Not even disinformation, the belief…

786
00:57:06.910 --> 00:57:09.999
Chuck: And, and, and lack of fact-checking.

787
00:57:10.330 --> 00:57:11.980
Chuck: That people do.

788
00:57:12.140 --> 00:57:19.980
Chuck: When we are in a time where there's so much information available to us to verify this stuff.

789
00:57:20.640 --> 00:57:35.749
Chuck: I think, was it last week, maybe, or the week before, y'all were speaking on the pod, about having access to verifiable information in the encyclopedias, and these stalworths of information.

790
00:57:35.750 --> 00:57:36.350
Jeezy: Yep.

791
00:57:37.060 --> 00:57:39.490
Chuck: to… now Britannica?

792
00:57:39.740 --> 00:57:44.169
Chuck: It's just somebody's name from the… They've broken the life.

793
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:53.369
Jeezy: But you knew those encyclopedias were being crafted by people who were the best of the best with knowledge that was very firm and accurate, and was not swayed

794
00:57:53.490 --> 00:58:04.580
Jeezy: By political view, feelings… no, it was about the integrity of the knowledge, and that's what we've lost as a society, integrity of knowledge.

795
00:58:04.870 --> 00:58:08.380
Chuck: It's okay to call stuff wrong. It's okay to say…

796
00:58:08.580 --> 00:58:14.179
Jeezy: You don't know what you're talking about. Hey, it's okay to say, hey, you sound like a fool up there, get off that podium.

797
00:58:14.290 --> 00:58:19.730
Manny: Well, and that's where you have the weird, like, you know, Wikipedia paradox.

798
00:58:19.820 --> 00:58:21.310
Jeezy: Yeah. Because…

799
00:58:21.570 --> 00:58:37.389
Manny: you know, as we're coming up through college, oh, Wikipedia is not a real source, but if you look numerically, I think the Britannica Encyclopedia, it was, like, one… one out of every five, or…

800
00:58:37.570 --> 00:58:40.240
Manny: One fifth, some percentage.

801
00:58:40.440 --> 00:58:46.239
Manny: Of errors, where, in turn, Wikipedia was, like, one-third of that.

802
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:47.600
Jeezy: Bruh.

803
00:58:47.600 --> 00:58:56.030
Manny: Because you had… you had a group of people who were focused on making sure the correct…

804
00:58:56.030 --> 00:58:56.550
Jeezy: formation.

805
00:58:56.550 --> 00:59:00.109
Manny: Up-to-date information was available.

806
00:59:00.300 --> 00:59:06.719
Jeezy: Bruh, that's when you would have volumes, bruh. Do you remember, bruh, you get an encyclopedia, and that's why you had volume 1.

807
00:59:06.720 --> 00:59:07.560
Chuck: one.

808
00:59:07.560 --> 00:59:14.619
Jeezy: Bruh, because they gotta update that information, and it's… like, bruh, like, that is where the integrity of knowledge used to be.

809
00:59:14.780 --> 00:59:16.870
Jeezy: to your point, Manny, with Wikipedia.

810
00:59:17.340 --> 00:59:24.599
Jeezy: I'm not even gonna sit here and explain why, but I was looking at, online on Google of how old Pam Oliver was.

811
00:59:32.930 --> 00:59:40.790
Jeezy: And when I pulled it up, I happened to pull it up on Wikipedia, and it gave me two different birth years. I said, yo, what kind of knowledge is this?

812
00:59:41.310 --> 00:59:42.040
Manny: How can I…

813
00:59:42.040 --> 00:59:43.670
Jeezy: accurately confirm.

814
00:59:44.120 --> 00:59:48.779
Jeezy: that she's the vampire from Brooklyn, if I can't even… Nevermind, bro.

815
00:59:48.780 --> 00:59:54.790
Chuck: And what most people don't understand is we can put whatever we want to on Wikipedia for 15 cents.

816
00:59:55.230 --> 00:59:56.299
Manny: For all I know, man.

817
00:59:56.300 --> 00:59:58.269
Chuck: Make a donation. 50 cent.

818
00:59:58.600 --> 01:00:04.999
Jeezy: They keep asking me for a donation, but I can't get accurate information. See, I'm struggling, bruh. I just wonder how old Pam Oliver is, so I know.

819
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:07.499
Chuck: Why did Pam catch a stray, bruh?

820
01:00:08.050 --> 01:00:08.370
Jeezy: Okay.

821
01:00:11.820 --> 01:00:18.149
Jeezy: And shout out to Pam Oliver. I believe she just got inducted into the Hall of Fame. She's been doing this job for… and she should.

822
01:00:18.150 --> 01:00:18.920
Chuck: Alone time.

823
01:00:18.920 --> 01:00:21.759
Jeezy: She's been doing this a long time, and has…

824
01:00:21.760 --> 01:00:23.010
Chuck: Amen. Amen.

825
01:00:23.100 --> 01:00:27.920
Manny: Godspeed.

826
01:00:27.920 --> 01:00:28.710
Jeezy: Do the work.

827
01:00:29.260 --> 01:00:35.590
Manny: Pam ain't doing nothing, he's just… There's nothing to that. Cataw!

828
01:00:35.590 --> 01:00:39.769
Jeezy: I had to explain why I was doing what I was doing, bruh.

829
01:00:43.110 --> 01:00:49.500
Chuck: But yeah, it's sad that we are at such a juncture

830
01:00:49.610 --> 01:00:53.680
Chuck: In society where the integrity of our information

831
01:00:53.800 --> 01:00:59.580
Chuck: Not only is it compromised, but it seems like there's a lack of wanting to be accurate.

832
01:00:59.700 --> 01:01:00.330
Jeezy: Yeah.

833
01:01:00.660 --> 01:01:01.230
Jeezy: Yeah.

834
01:01:02.160 --> 01:01:04.650
Manny: And everyone wants to be first, though.

835
01:01:04.650 --> 01:01:09.230
Jeezy: Complete disregard. Yes. But wanna be first, and want to be right.

836
01:01:09.770 --> 01:01:21.010
Jeezy: And it used to be a point, bro, where even if you were wrong, you would come back and say, hey, look, we were wrong, and this… You don't even get that. Before we move on, I just wanna… I just wanna ask one of…

837
01:01:21.220 --> 01:01:25.110
Jeezy: Those that are of the… the MAGA type.

838
01:01:25.290 --> 01:01:31.529
Jeezy: and a Trump supporter, he made this claim on drug prices, and I would love for you to reach out to the pot and explain it to us, but he said…

839
01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:34.779
Jeezy: That drug prices were slashed.

840
01:01:35.310 --> 01:01:38.960
Jeezy: by 400… to 600…

841
01:01:39.710 --> 01:01:44.400
Jeezy: Now, your challenge and your homework, I'm giving, if you… Balloon.

842
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:45.540
Manny: leave this claim.

843
01:01:45.540 --> 01:01:48.259
Chuck: Hold on, Jeezy, we just spoke on being accurate.

844
01:01:48.260 --> 01:01:48.809
Jeezy: Okay, okay.

845
01:01:48.810 --> 01:01:51.369
Chuck: You have to quote that man accurately.

846
01:01:51.370 --> 01:01:52.000
Jeezy: Yup, yes, sir.

847
01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:56.850
Manny: He said, slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much as $400?

848
01:01:57.090 --> 01:01:59.779
Chuck: 500, and even…

849
01:02:00.140 --> 01:02:00.960
Manny: And even.

850
01:02:01.370 --> 01:02:05.980
Chuck: Thank you. You gotta get that in there. You gotta get that, yeah, you gotta get that in there.

851
01:02:06.130 --> 01:02:08.189
Manny: But wait! There's more!

852
01:02:08.190 --> 01:02:11.980
Chuck: Here's more! 600%!

853
01:02:11.980 --> 01:02:27.790
Jeezy: So for those of you that, digested this and believed it to be truth, I would love for you to, reach out to the pod and let us know from a percentage perspective, how that is mathematically impossible… I mean, excuse me, possible.

854
01:02:28.040 --> 01:02:35.749
Jeezy: And if it isn't, and you can prove it, I need to go to my local CVS, because I believe if that is true, they owe me money.

855
01:02:36.610 --> 01:02:37.490
Manny: Right.

856
01:02:37.570 --> 01:02:38.830
Jeezy: PBS or me money.

857
01:02:39.450 --> 01:02:40.070
Chuck: So much.

858
01:02:40.070 --> 01:02:40.860
Jeezy: Any money.

859
01:02:40.860 --> 01:02:43.109
Chuck: Walgreens definitely owe me some money, bruh.

860
01:02:43.130 --> 01:02:47.990
Jeezy: Look, my baby girl got medication, my wife got in… somebody owed me money.

861
01:02:47.990 --> 01:02:49.610
Manny: Yeah, some of them is…

862
01:02:49.610 --> 01:02:54.050
Jeezy: I think I've actually been paying more, so then we definitely got a problem, but yeah.

863
01:02:54.050 --> 01:02:58.029
Chuck: I went to go get an inhaler, and they told me $136.

864
01:02:58.930 --> 01:03:00.130
Jeezy: Jesus Christ!

865
01:03:00.130 --> 01:03:02.440
Chuck: Or an inhaler with insurance.

866
01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:06.789
Jeezy: I get… see, I feel bad now, because I get pissed off when I gotta pay $30 for Jasmine.

867
01:03:07.390 --> 01:03:11.380
Jeezy: I'm like, bruh, this little thing right here? This little puff of hair y'all got in there?

868
01:03:11.880 --> 01:03:19.409
Manny: Hey, but when I was in the hospital having surgery, I got… I got fentanyl.

869
01:03:19.690 --> 01:03:21.649
Manny: For, like, $24, accordingly.

870
01:03:21.650 --> 01:03:21.990
Jeezy: True.

871
01:03:22.130 --> 01:03:23.750
Manny: the breakdown.

872
01:03:23.960 --> 01:03:31.940
Jeezy: Hey, the way you talk, bruh, that's the third time that you've mentioned it in three different episodes. That fits your soul, bruh.

873
01:03:31.940 --> 01:03:37.440
Chuck: I see you in a fit, we gonna have… we're gonna have a conversation. Speaking of fitness…

874
01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:45.370
Jeezy: Well, you ain't gotta worry about that, because the way they keep seizing all these vessels and blowing these boats up ain't… I want to know where the fent number's at.

875
01:03:45.500 --> 01:03:45.840
Manny: Bruh.

876
01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:55.879
Jeezy: Because the way that y'all keep doing all this stuff at the border, y'all done got all these people out the country. Trump said in the address that they done got 25 million, immigrants out of here.

877
01:03:56.810 --> 01:03:58.640
Jeezy: I should see nobody on fentany no more.

878
01:03:58.840 --> 01:04:00.200
Manny: That CNN…

879
01:04:00.200 --> 01:04:00.920
Chuck: No, bye.

880
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:07.390
Manny: Alert came across early on Sunday talking about the U.S. is pursuing a tanker ship.

881
01:04:07.530 --> 01:04:08.899
Manny: Brad, let me get him.

882
01:04:09.860 --> 01:04:11.250
Manny: International waters.

883
01:04:11.250 --> 01:04:13.609
Jeezy: I told them last week, man, they album ward.

884
01:04:13.610 --> 01:04:16.020
Manny: Waters. Stay out them waters.

885
01:04:16.020 --> 01:04:24.300
Jeezy: I ain't deep-sea diving, I ain't deep-sea fishing. Bruh, stay out them waters, because I'm telling you, the U.S. is coming for you.

886
01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:27.300
Manny: If it ain't on land, I ain't going.

887
01:04:27.300 --> 01:04:28.060
Jeezy: Bye.

888
01:04:28.240 --> 01:04:36.119
Jeezy: I ain't going. We going to where? I'm not even going to the beach at this point, because I don't know when they gonna just do a Bay of Pigs and come up invincible.

889
01:04:37.830 --> 01:04:39.470
Manny: Pay a pig!

890
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:41.939
Jeezy: They come up on Venezuela. Bruh.

891
01:04:43.550 --> 01:04:49.019
Manny: And keep playing games like we're about to do it, like, at any moment. At any moment. Trump won that moment, bruh.

892
01:04:49.290 --> 01:04:55.780
Jeezy: But at any rate, if you watched that address, so we can close this out, if you watched that address and you believed any of it.

893
01:04:57.750 --> 01:04:58.899
Jeezy: Merry Christmas.

894
01:04:59.540 --> 01:05:01.160
Jeezy: And a Happy New Year.

895
01:05:02.040 --> 01:05:02.590
Manny: crap.

896
01:05:03.310 --> 01:05:04.839
Jeezy: That's what the Lord want me to say.

897
01:05:05.110 --> 01:05:08.079
Manny: Happy Hanukkah, and a happy Kwanzaa.

898
01:05:08.080 --> 01:05:09.620
Jeezy: Yes, yeah.

899
01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:10.830
Manny: But…

900
01:05:10.830 --> 01:05:12.569
Jeezy: At this point in the episode…

901
01:05:12.730 --> 01:05:16.130
Jeezy: We'll generally bring to you our pickle of the week, but…

902
01:05:16.940 --> 01:05:24.959
Jeezy: We were talking in pre-production, and… I mean, at this point, we all about pickles, so I think that…

903
01:05:25.100 --> 01:05:28.150
Manny: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

904
01:05:29.590 --> 01:05:30.890
Manny: Bye.

905
01:05:30.890 --> 01:05:31.990
Jeezy: Moment of silence.

906
01:05:34.660 --> 01:05:35.900
Jeezy: We don't have a pickle for the week.

907
01:05:37.670 --> 01:05:45.309
Jeezy: Because everybody going through something, and somebody going through everything, and everything going through everybody. So let's just… at this point…

908
01:05:45.310 --> 01:05:46.960
Manny: It's Christmas.

909
01:05:46.960 --> 01:05:47.859
Jeezy: It's a holiday, is it?

910
01:05:48.330 --> 01:05:49.200
Manny: It's…

911
01:05:49.200 --> 01:05:49.790
Chuck: Oh…

912
01:05:49.790 --> 01:05:55.110
Jeezy: And let's just hopefully enjoy this as we go into 2026.

913
01:05:55.350 --> 01:06:01.669
Jeezy: That… I hope that you're, as we said in previous episodes, I hope that you're, with your family, I hope that you're.

914
01:06:01.860 --> 01:06:08.749
Jeezy: having some type of joy, some type of peace. We were talking earlier, before the episode started, and…

915
01:06:09.140 --> 01:06:18.879
Jeezy: when you have a president that's talking about affordability, I was speaking to Brother Chuck about how, you know, I was at Target earlier, and I hope they don't get me in trouble with the community. Are we still…

916
01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:22.040
Manny: Mmm, I believe we are, sir.

917
01:06:22.040 --> 01:06:24.909
Jeezy: I was at a location earlier today.

918
01:06:24.910 --> 01:06:26.580
Chuck: Looking for a dog.

919
01:06:26.580 --> 01:06:27.960
Jeezy: The shopping variety.

920
01:06:28.360 --> 01:06:32.119
Jeezy: Look, I'm about to get myself.

921
01:06:32.120 --> 01:06:33.950
Manny: Don't ignore me.

922
01:06:33.950 --> 01:06:53.199
Jeezy: But, you know, I was telling my brother Chuck about, you know, before in the past, I've seen people, you know, the parking lots are packed, you know, the lines are long, there's people everywhere, you know, trying to find this and that for their loved ones. But one thing that I noticed this year was that there's a lot of traffic, but

923
01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:54.739
Jeezy: The bags are light.

924
01:06:56.090 --> 01:07:07.589
Jeezy: aren't coming out of the store with as much, and some people may say, oh, you know, there's a lot of online shopping, but that is very true, but you could tell that this just feels a little different.

925
01:07:08.250 --> 01:07:14.650
Jeezy: And… I don't know if that's contributed to what's going on in the economy, I don't know what…

926
01:07:14.790 --> 01:07:20.939
Jeezy: That could be playing in as far as what your life looks like, but I just hope that in this holiday season.

927
01:07:21.390 --> 01:07:22.380
Jeezy: that…

928
01:07:22.510 --> 01:07:31.340
Jeezy: If that is the case for you, and you can't only afford but just that one or two doll, as the president has said, I hope that what holds you with joy…

929
01:07:31.570 --> 01:07:33.509
Jeezy: It's the loved ones you got, bro.

930
01:07:33.910 --> 01:07:35.960
Jeezy: The family you have around you.

931
01:07:36.580 --> 01:07:42.490
Jeezy: And the time you get to spend with them, because that is what's more valuable, the time that you have.

932
01:07:42.650 --> 01:07:43.890
Jeezy: With the people you love.

933
01:07:44.070 --> 01:07:45.619
Jeezy: So that's all I got. I ain't gonna have no.

934
01:07:45.620 --> 01:07:46.390
Manny: I'm out.

935
01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:48.109
Jeezy: Gon' do nothin' crazy.

936
01:07:48.350 --> 01:07:49.280
Manny: Quote.

937
01:07:49.780 --> 01:07:50.419
Jeezy: That's all I had.

938
01:07:52.770 --> 01:07:55.200
Manny: Oh, yeah.

939
01:07:56.610 --> 01:07:58.300
Jeezy: I mean, this second episode, I ain't done at the moment.

940
01:08:01.900 --> 01:08:08.559
Manny: Well, yeah. For all of our listeners, for our listeners,

941
01:08:08.720 --> 01:08:20.969
Manny: Let's keep in mind the reason of the season, though. It is the birth and the coming of earth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And, you know.

942
01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:29.360
Manny: amongst everything, Chuck, I think it's one of the things that you've said to us the most that I keep in mind, you know, minus the BS.

943
01:08:29.470 --> 01:08:30.680
Manny: Life is great.

944
01:08:30.689 --> 01:08:31.389
Chuck: Live screen.

945
01:08:31.540 --> 01:08:40.850
Manny: And, you know, God has afforded us all a special opportunity to be going and living on this rock, all here at the same time.

946
01:08:41.540 --> 01:08:48.920
Manny: So let's use that moment to love and care and treat one another with love and respect.

947
01:08:50.050 --> 01:08:51.460
Jeezy: And…

948
01:08:52.609 --> 01:09:01.669
Manny: Now, moving on from that, before we'd be remiss if we left this show and did not point out that it has finally happened.

949
01:09:01.670 --> 01:09:02.500
Jeezy: -Oh.

950
01:09:02.500 --> 01:09:04.209
Manny: Jake Paul got knocked out.

951
01:09:05.149 --> 01:09:05.779
Jeezy: Oh, bruh.

952
01:09:07.439 --> 01:09:08.229
Jeezy: I made it up.

953
01:09:08.580 --> 01:09:10.060
Jeezy: Sleep in there, see it in real time.

954
01:09:10.219 --> 01:09:11.599
Chuck: Not only did Jake Paul.

955
01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:14.679
Jeezy: all getting knocked out, but Andrew Tate got beat up, too.

956
01:09:14.689 --> 01:09:15.539
Manny: He got…

957
01:09:15.869 --> 01:09:20.029
Jeezy: By a dude that got… he got beat down before in his first fight.

958
01:09:20.479 --> 01:09:21.219
Chuck: Yes.

959
01:09:21.420 --> 01:09:23.520
Manny: So maybe the world's starting to heal.

960
01:09:24.090 --> 01:09:25.060
Jeezy: It could… it could be, bro.

961
01:09:25.060 --> 01:09:27.610
Manny: Maybe the world is starting to heal.

962
01:09:27.830 --> 01:09:36.010
Manny: People who talk… people who talk too much and say reckless things are getting punched in the face.

963
01:09:38.149 --> 01:09:42.219
Chuck: The most satisfying thing, and for me, I still…

964
01:09:42.429 --> 01:09:47.329
Chuck: with this Jake Paul, Joshua Anthony, Anthony Joshua, whatever your name.

965
01:09:47.330 --> 01:09:49.050
Jeezy: Yeah, two first names and column names. Two first names.

966
01:09:50.010 --> 01:09:53.700
Chuck: Yeah, but with this fight, I still…

967
01:09:54.530 --> 01:09:57.109
Chuck: call… I still raise a yellow flag.

968
01:09:57.540 --> 01:09:58.900
Chuck: Because…

969
01:10:00.070 --> 01:10:02.999
Manny: The size disparity was ridiculous, number one.

970
01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:08.819
Chuck: Yeah. Which, in inverse, the original fight was… Gervontae Tank Davis.

971
01:10:08.820 --> 01:10:09.950
Jeezy: The opposite direction.

972
01:10:09.950 --> 01:10:12.410
Chuck: Which was the opposite direction.

973
01:10:14.410 --> 01:10:20.129
Chuck: Anthony Joshua could have killed… Jake Paul, if he really was…

974
01:10:20.480 --> 01:10:21.580
Manny: Super early.

975
01:10:22.020 --> 01:10:31.279
Chuck: could have killed that man. And I'm not talking about killed in the essence of dominating a fight. I'm talking literally hit him…

976
01:10:31.280 --> 01:10:34.230
Manny: professional fighter and knock this man.

977
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:39.070
Chuck: Because that punch that knocked Jake Paul out, technically.

978
01:10:39.550 --> 01:10:41.439
Chuck: Broke his jaw in two places.

979
01:10:42.700 --> 01:10:43.350
Manny: Yep.

980
01:10:43.880 --> 01:10:45.110
Jeezy: Like… Yes.

981
01:10:45.300 --> 01:10:46.900
Chuck: Amy Joshua…

982
01:10:46.900 --> 01:10:48.150
Manny: Casually.

983
01:10:48.400 --> 01:10:49.530
Manny: casually.

984
01:10:49.750 --> 01:10:50.250
Chuck: Yes.

985
01:10:50.250 --> 01:10:52.190
Jeezy: It didn't look like he gave it, like, 100%.

986
01:10:52.190 --> 01:10:55.420
Chuck: Oh, it's in it. Right. No, definitely not. Definitely not.

987
01:10:55.420 --> 01:10:56.839
Manny: This man said he, yeah.

988
01:10:56.840 --> 01:11:04.499
Chuck: I said, Jeezy, I'm glad to see that he got… I'm glad to see he got knocked out. I'm glad to see he got, as they say, he got punched in the face and put on his butt.

989
01:11:05.880 --> 01:11:10.350
Chuck: Because that's what's wrong with a lot of people nowadays. Ain't nobody been punched in the mouth and put on their butt.

990
01:11:10.850 --> 01:11:13.879
Chuck: Or they want to sue or run to the cops.

991
01:11:14.280 --> 01:11:17.260
Manny: Changes your spur… changes your perspective.

992
01:11:17.730 --> 01:11:18.549
Jeezy: Definitely do.

993
01:11:18.730 --> 01:11:19.430
Chuck: Yes!

994
01:11:20.450 --> 01:11:29.110
Chuck: But yeah, that, that, great point, Manny. That was very satisfying. As well as…

995
01:11:29.300 --> 01:11:32.430
Chuck: This college football playoff season is gonna be very interesting.

996
01:11:32.430 --> 01:11:33.560
Jeezy: Man…

997
01:11:33.790 --> 01:11:36.440
Chuck: Very interesting. JMU, you let me down.

998
01:11:37.690 --> 01:11:41.190
Jeezy: You let me down, I thought you… I thought you were gonna shake things up, but…

999
01:11:41.450 --> 01:11:42.510
Manny: Take down Oregon.

1000
01:11:42.510 --> 01:11:46.309
Jeezy: chaos, you know, I'm all… Bruh, I know, I know you were.

1001
01:11:46.310 --> 01:11:50.730
Chuck: Always, always call me Dr. Doom, I'm ready for chaos.

1002
01:11:50.730 --> 01:11:51.930
Jeezy: Right, I would agree.

1003
01:11:51.930 --> 01:11:58.540
Chuck: Sometimes, as long as it's not involving one of my teams, that's… unless they're the purveyor of the chaos.

1004
01:11:58.540 --> 01:11:59.070
Manny: Right.

1005
01:11:59.070 --> 01:12:02.080
Chuck: But yeah, I'm always calling for chaos. Always.

1006
01:12:02.440 --> 01:12:08.110
Jeezy: Hey man, we'll see what happens, but at any rate… On this episode.

1007
01:12:08.280 --> 01:12:10.760
Jeezy: I just wanna say, guys, I'm thankful for y'all.

1008
01:12:11.160 --> 01:12:13.270
Manny: Man, pay for y'all, too.

1009
01:12:13.270 --> 01:12:17.860
Jeezy: In this holiday season, man. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the pod, man.

1010
01:12:17.860 --> 01:12:18.530
Manny: Yes.

1011
01:12:18.690 --> 01:12:19.240
Manny: Yay.

1012
01:12:19.240 --> 01:12:33.919
Jeezy: Man, we have done as good as we could possibly do with holding this thing down, and we thank our listeners for tuning in, being a part of our community, and it's been a joy. It really has to do this with my brothers.

1013
01:12:33.920 --> 01:12:46.210
Jeezy: Even in the absence of Manny, with Chuck, I mean, it's just been a joy, and we thank you, listeners, for just tuning in and lending us your ear for, the hour to… between two hours that.

1014
01:12:46.860 --> 01:12:52.040
Jeezy: I bring these episode fours. So, if nothing else further, man… Do we have any spotlights? Or…

1015
01:12:52.450 --> 01:12:54.240
Manny: No, yeah, everyone enjoyed Christmas.

1016
01:12:54.240 --> 01:12:55.230
Jeezy: Okay, okay.

1017
01:12:55.230 --> 01:12:56.459
Manny: It's like Christmas.

1018
01:12:58.130 --> 01:12:59.880
Chuck: I'll give you a spotlight.

1019
01:12:59.880 --> 01:13:02.240
Manny: There we go. Okay, Chuck, what you got?

1020
01:13:02.240 --> 01:13:08.189
Chuck: My spotlight is… Take time to look into and invest in your family.

1021
01:13:08.590 --> 01:13:09.270
Jeezy: Okay.

1022
01:13:09.270 --> 01:13:17.990
Chuck: put the spotlight on you and your people. Like, to Manny's point, it's Christmas. It's… for those who…

1023
01:13:18.980 --> 01:13:21.410
Chuck: Are without loved ones.

1024
01:13:22.250 --> 01:13:27.140
Chuck: I say often, you don't pick your kin, but you can pick your family.

1025
01:13:27.750 --> 01:13:28.720
Manny: Hmm.

1026
01:13:28.720 --> 01:13:40.709
Chuck: and find you someone to love on, and family is what you make it. And to Jeezy's point of thankful for the pod, these guys, we have years of…

1027
01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:45.749
Chuck: Time in each other's presence, and time in each other's lives. They are family.

1028
01:13:45.770 --> 01:13:48.390
Jeezy: For me, and vice versa.

1029
01:13:48.390 --> 01:13:51.690
Chuck: And so, enjoy your family, enjoy yourself.

1030
01:13:51.860 --> 01:13:56.370
Chuck: And in those… in those moments where you feel alone.

1031
01:13:56.500 --> 01:14:03.629
Chuck: You know, find solace in an area where you know you are loved. There is somebody who can give you.

1032
01:14:03.630 --> 01:14:03.990
Jeezy: Right.

1033
01:14:03.990 --> 01:14:10.290
Chuck: comfort and some love, and if not, hit us up on the social. We'll show you some love. We'll show you some love.

1034
01:14:10.290 --> 01:14:18.780
Jeezy: That's the best way to close it out, Chuck, because at pardon the politics, that's what we always say, if don't nobody love you, just know the boys here at the pod, we love you.

1035
01:14:19.310 --> 01:14:30.289
Jeezy: So, if nothing else further, brothers, all hearts and minds clear. This is the conclusion of our episode. We hope it finds you in the best spirit possible, and we will see you at the next episode.

1036
01:14:30.290 --> 01:14:31.040
Manny: Take care world.

1037
01:14:31.910 --> 01:14:33.459
Chuck: Peace. Peace.

1038
01:14:33.460 --> 01:14:34.090
Jeezy: Aight?
