The Brilliant Idiots - Bread and Circuses

Episode Date: June 26, 2026

This week on Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne breaks down Barack Obama's moment on All the Smoke, and has some thoughts. Then a deep dive into the Wall Street Journal and Inverse Wire investigations alleging that Drake's gambling streams on Stake were staged, bets were rigged, and crypto from fake wins funded bot farms inflating his Spotify streams, Akademics TV keeps clipping Charlamagne out of context, and Charlamagne wants answers. Plus: a View appearance, and a Reasonable Doubt 30th anniversary pop-up that Charlamagne absolutely expects a discount at. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠⁠ Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Check out Andrew Schulz - ⁠⁠www.theandrewschulz.com⁠⁠ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" - ⁠⁠https://blackeffect.com⁠⁠ Checks out AlexxMedia ⁠AM Mornings⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Cancers don't do nothing but help you and upgrade your life. See, and your mom's a cancer. Shout out. And Miss Gwen. What? No, I love your mom.

I love your mom. Shout out to Capital P, man. Happy Boy Day to Capital P. Where do we start? Let's start with some All Memes Matter. Let's start with Obama Lives Rent Free. Oh, no, that's not the headline. The headline should be, oh, yeah, Obama lives rent free in Trump's head.

Barack Obama, former President Barack Obama, was on the All-A-Spoke podcast with my guys, Matt Barnes, and Stephen Jackson. and I haven't gotten the chance to listen to the whole conversation. I can't wait to sit and listen to the whole conversation. But they talked to him about about living rent-free in Donald Trump's head. And I have some thoughts about this. Oh, shit.

I just ain't do it off YouTube. I mean, it should pop up. You don't have the links, though? Oh, yeah, be careful too. They probably saving your information in here. No, for real. We will log out of you. I don't trust none of that.

There'll be all in your DMs making sure you faithful to P. Capital P. Okay. There you go. The leader of this current administration is still very fascinated with you and your family, constantly bringing you guys up. And you've been out of office nearly 10 years now. How do you continue to keep your cool and take the high road, so to speak?

Because we asked Michelle and Michelle said we don't have to take the high road no more. We just have to be strategic in our approach. But she said, but she said we don't have to take the high road. But you constantly seem to meet the negativity and the racism. with class and it makes you stand out so high. But you don't just want to cuss his ass out or sometimes? I mean, the thing about it is, you got to ask him what it is the...

The obsession? The obsession. I know what it is. Yeah, I obviously, you know, have a room in his head. Rent-free. You do everything with grace. A sweep in his head. But first of all, when I was president,

the last thing I had time to do was working about what somebody said or what the my predecessor did yeah they're gone I've got work to do you locked in it's hard to describe how if you're doing the job right every day you've got five ten things that are real hard and you have to be constantly focused the idea that I'd be worrying about came before some somebody who came before and me trying to measure you know like what's he done today. Constantly worrying about that is a strange thing to me.

It shows me somebody who's not focused on the American people and the job they're supposed to do. The leader of this. Oh, that's not it, though. I want the whole part. I want the part where he's talking about how he don't never had that same energy in his face. Yeah, I want that part.

Let's find that part. Oh, he said something like he wouldn't try me or something? But I need to hear it. I need to hear it. I need the listening audience to hear it, man. I need them to hear it. By the way, I'm getting the fuck out of here after the day. I just want y'all to know that.

After the day, after the day, okay, I am gone for the next 10 days. Ain't no breakfast club. Ain't no brilliant idiots, all right? Ain't no, it might be some limited social media. I am on vacation. I believe in face-to-face. I believe in conversation. So if this whoever you were talking about was in front of me

Which has happened a couple times he don't talk like that Because he knows better I think there is a that filter of the phone creates a situation both where people just say any kind of crazy stuff But they would never say no consequences to your face with no consequences I believe in face to face All right Listen, I got nothing but respect for President Barack Obama. Nothing but respect for Michelle Obama.

I don't even know what he means by this. He's saying Trump got Twitter fingers. But when he says that he would never say this to my face, what would the consequences be if Donald Trump does? I mean, he's kind of calling him pussy. He's saying you don't keep the same energy. But he's doing the same thing that he's accusing Donald Trump up. But he never talks about Trump.

I agree. President Obama don't keep the same energy with Trump. Here's my point. We watched them play footsie at President Carter's funeral. That's what politicians do. They talk shit about each other, right? But then when they see each other face to face,

you don't ever see none of that. The only time you ever remotely see politicians go out with each other is when they're on a debasee. Other than that, when they're in the settings like this, it's kumbaya. Like, they was literally laughing and giggling and having a good key key at President Carter's funeral. This is after Donald Trump.

then said wild shit about President Obama over the years. Wild shit that had his life threatened, had his family's life threatened. You didn't keep that same energy. You know who kept that same energy? The first lady, Michelle, because she was like, fucking, I ain't going.

I'm not going to a former president's funeral because I don't fuck with him. Now, we don't know if that's really the case, but that's what it seems like, okay? They didn't even invite Donald Trump to the opening of the Obama Center. because Michelle probably said, I'm not coming if he's going to be there.

Drawing a definitive line in the sand. So it's like, I don't even know what Obama... Maybe because he in front of Matt and Steve, and he knows the damn forces, so he's trying to talk tough and it's on all the smoke. I didn't understand what was that? What was that? I didn't like that energy.

I got to be honest. What was it? I'm also... You don't Obama can't do nothing wrong, guys. I'm reading regime change right now. I was talking about that. What's that? Maggie Haberman, I'm looking at up, the other author, Jonathan Swan.

So this is about Trump's first year in office. And I'm only maybe a quarter of the way in, but it's very much in my mind. So admittedly, I'm influenced by what I'm reading right now. But it's about Trump's first year in office for this current term. And they got incredible access by everybody's admission. And one of the things they talk about right at the top is one of Trump's go-to moves. is crazy Twitter fingers, talks wild on social media, but in your face, a completely different energy.

So they said when he met with Biden, you know, he had obviously spent the entire lead up to the election trashing Biden. He was incredibly solicitous to Biden in person, told him, I feel so bad about what's happened with Hunter, we're not going to touch him. You know, obviously he is why things could have happened to Hunter. But like, that's his go-to move, is to be. be incredibly aggressive on social media and in the media, but then switch it up on person and it caught Biden off guard.

Biden didn't know what to do. So that's why Biden is standing outside the White House telling him, welcome home, this guy that you're going to, literally, y'all been telling us he's a fascist, fascist is at the doorstep of America. You're like, welcome home. Like, I don't. But, and again, this is coming through the report, so take it with a grain of salt. But they say, in Biden's case, the idea of tradition.

the idea of a peaceful transfer of power, like the symbolism of it all was incredibly important to him. So like he didn't want to shake it up. But then he was stunned when Trump, even after that in person meeting, he was incredibly nice and switch it up on him again. So I kind of get what Obama's, I don't really. I just like, you know what this guy is.

Don't play footsie with him. Don't keep up appearances. Don't act now like you're going to do something. You know, like. It doesn't make any sense. To me, it's just a person on the outside looking in. I'm like, man, all of y'all politicians be full of it. They all, though.

But we know that. So don't act like it's something, don't act tough here. Because I can look at Barack Obama and say, guess what, Mr. President? You do the same thing in his presence, too. Yikes there. The only difference is that he doesn't talk shit about. Yes, he does. No.

He don't talk reckless like Trump. He talks. He's very measured. Elevated, measured level of letting you know, this dude ain't it. Yeah. You know what I mean? But once again, there's a difference between having a difference of opinion with a political opponent and telling us that a person is a threat to democracy, which, by the way, we don't

even need nobody to tell us anymore. We see what it is now. We see he don't give a damn about, you know, any of the institutions that America has upheld. He don't give a damn about the Constitution. We know that. So at this point, why I play nice with him? I feel like they have an understanding where it's like, all, during campaign time, everything is, like, we understand.

then that's there and we'll leave it in the past. You know another reason I don't like it? Because think about what it does to us as a society. It riles us up. Oh, yeah. It makes everybody choose sides. And, like, there's actual violence that happens between people on the left, people on the right, because of what they're doing here.

But then they're sitting around having a beer together, Kiki in at a funeral. Yeah. So even with that, don't talk like that now. I don't like when none of them talk like that. Any of them. I don't like when Barack Obama, when Donald Trump gets online and act like he's going, I want Barack Obama locked up.

This dude be calling for the arrest of President Obama. That's the other thing I was thinking about, too. When you talk about if Trump says something to you and you say something to Trump, there's going to be consequences. What are the consequences? Donald Trump could really have you locked up if he wanted to. And also, like, Trump's an incredible athlete. He's like, no, he is.

He's been talking about that. He's in great shape. I don't know if physically Obama could handle him. I need y'all to know when Chris is being sarcastic, okay? I don't, I don't, because you don't need none of the right wing outlets. Taylor, type in Donald Trump. Stop. Stop.

You're going to see how many times he said what an incredible athlete. Like, what great? No, it's like 6-4-185 tops, man. You know, another point about that too, right? Another thing I feel like y'all are talking about. about his grace. Right. I feel like Democrats

be having way more grace for Republicans who have talked greasy than they do for people in their own party. What do I mean by that? Look how quick they are to embrace the Marjorie Taylor Greens,

the Tucker Carlson's, you know, the Megan Kellys of the world. I've been on Megan's show, but like these people have talked crazy about the Democratic Party. But, you know, Democrats can say, but you know, they're on the, They're on the right side now, and we can find common ground with them because they're speaking out against Trump.

But when it comes to people in their own party, like Zoran Mundani, like people, Zoran Mandani is endorsed. They can't find no common ground with actual Democrats. You don't think that's crazy to me just because they're progressive, just because they call them far left. You know what I mean? The Democratic Socialists or whatever they call it. You can't find no common ground with people. in your own party, but you can find common ground with people who have literally kicked the back in of Democrats?

South Carolina legend Jamie Harrison said they shouldn't even call themselves Democrats. It's the craziest thing. Jamie Harrison, James Carvel, James Carvel. Is he on that? What? Oh, wow. Let's find that James Carvel clip. James Carvel said they're not even Democrats, which sounds crazy to me because now it sounds

like y'all in a coat. My thing is, if Democrats are the big tent party, why not embrace everybody under the tent? why is it? Because that's the thing I don't understand. Well, I would think why don't you get behind this popular movement that's going on that got young people, that got everybody energized. Well, I think, oh, I was having this conversation with some political people earlier. Because remember last week, I was saying that I feel like the Mondani thing is, um,

the Mondani thing is more New York rooted. Which is fair. And I believe, I still believe that. But I feel like the things that they're talking about can work. work nationally. Because all you're talking about is affordability. All you're talking about is putting more money in people's pockets. Yeah. Like that will work anywhere. But my thing is like... Oh, you're talking about one other thing too.

What other thing? Israel. Oh, absolutely. 100%. But to me, that's just the... That's become the light... All the gravity is around Israel, right? Like, there's a big New York time. The episode of the Daily that came out today, I guess today's Thursday, is about what happened in the New York City elections that took place this week. and, you know, whether the essentially establishment Democrats

who, by national standards, are very progressive, but all the establishment Democrats who lost this week, the single issue that defined the races was Israel. All over the country? No, in New York, in New York. Yeah, I feel like that happens. That helps you in New York, but not all over the country. Because, like, in South Carolina, ain't nobody thinking about that.

Think? I don't think that's an issue like that. I could be completely wrong, but them older people in South Carolina, they're not thinking about that. They're thinking about a 40s. I think with young people on both sides throughout the country, that's an issue. But I can see that.

What I would say with the Democratic Party is just don't do the infighting publicly. Like, why do you have to fight these people? Because now you just look like you're not cool. Because to me, these people are just progressives who are talking about affordability, who are talking about bringing down the cost of living for people, and it's working. So why not just get on television and say, hey, what happened in New York is, is probably a sign of things to come all around the country. People aren't happy with the current administration.

They're not happy with the direction of this country. People want to change. Why are you getting on television and attacking other Democrats? They're scared. Of what? Well, I mean, this is how I see it. I think DSA, right? If you look at what the official policies of DSA are,

you know, Trump called them communist. They're not really that far off, right? Like they want to make a economic level playing field where everyone kind of has the same stake in it. That's never going to happen in New York, right? But you need that energy on the far left to push the rest of the party in a more progressive direction, which to me is great. You know, New York's never going to be a totally socialist city where everybody gets the same wages. America's never going to be that. America's never going to be that.

But do we need elements of that? 1,000 percent. And if these guys go so hard on the far. left, it'll force, I hope, the entire Democratic Party to kind of move a little bit away from the center and more in a socialist direction. But why are the James Carvilles, the Harrison, like, why are these guys freaked out? You know, I think they see it as like existential threat to their power. And I think that's very short-term thinking. Like, they need Trump's embracing the shit. He knows. Oh, my God. He knows the Zoran's got the fucking, as well.

the kids would say, or right now? Like, he... Not only is Trump embracing Zoron. Trump is embracing speaking out against Israel. He's embracing speaking out against Netanyahu, him and J.D. Vance. I'm like, how did Democrats let Trump beat them to that message?

Yeah, that's great. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. I don't know. So do you think it's a donor thing? Yes. You got a, listen, you got a whole generation of people who are tired of folks taking, corporate back money.

No, no, I'm talking about for the establishment, Democrats, why they are pushed, like, publicly calling out the socialist. Oh, yes, because there's, because, oh, you know why? Chris just said it, because those guys, the Mondani's of the world and the people that he's endorsed publicly speak out against APEC in the Israeli government. Absolutely. So, yeah, they can't, they got it. Which is why Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are in a tight spot right now.

Ooh. Because they've made their bed. Woof. It's not a comfortable bed at the moment. So my thing is, if they're already elected the establishment of Democrats, right? Can they just stop taking- Pivot?

Yeah. That's what politicians do. Yeah, but why aren't they pivoting? Well, now we're getting into- Why do they all have to pivot? If it's a big tent, why can't they have these fragment subsidiary groups under this whole party? My whole thing is why are y'all going at each other?

Just not if you don't go at each other publicly. They don't have to do what they're doing. They don't have to attack. The progressive. They don't have to attack the so-called far left. If you bring them part of your tent, then they can use somebody like a zoron and be like, oh, look, he's Democrat.

You support socialists, communists, all that stuff. And now they could use a zon in other places throughout. Like socialists. I've been said that. Just say it's affordability. By the way, the word socialists don't mean to this generation what it means to all of them old people. Like, they're not thinking about that like that.

Socialism to me, socialism to them just means affordability. Which is why Trump, smartly, to his credit, isn't using socialism. He's using communism. He's trying to... Communism is great. Take it there. Communism is great.

They just got to switch it. At some point, at some point somebody got to be DSA, Dick Suckers Anonymous, bro. Like, whoever comes out and says they're Dick Suckers Anonymous, I mean, I think the Republicans do that every time. That's my point. That should be their TSA.

Lindsay Graham can lead the charge, okay? That can be their version of D.S. Oh, it's not anonymous in his case at this point. I mean, it is. Come on, man. Don't do that. All right. What else we got, Taylor, gang?

What is this? Not Hove.

Are we getting paid to talk about this? Is this just, can... According to the internet. Can I talk about anything, Jay-Z? I have not gotten my checks yet. I would love to get a check. Can I get a check? Shoot, y'all get paid to talk about things.

Why can't I get paid to talk about things? A rock nation mouthpiece. Rock nation mouthpiece, baby. As if rock nation needs a mouthpiece. What is this? Beautiful that the real reason Jay grew out his hair was to show blue that her hair was like his hair. Let me rewind and tell you some backstory. Our daughter was about five and she wasn't feeling very confident about her hair at that time.

When she told her father that, it inspired Jay to grow out his. hair. We really wanted her to love and embrace every inch of her gorgeous curls. It also inspired Blue to be the voice of the award-winning book, Hair Love by Matthew A. Cherry, as well as songs like Formation, Baby Hair and Afroes and Brown-Skin Girl. And who would have thunk? All of this healthy hair could grow beyond that low-cut Caesar with a deep wave. What you doing, Blue? Thank you, baby. This is history in the big. Chris got a take on this?

You can't have a take on no black person. Black hair. It's crazy. I have a take as a middle-aged man. How's that? You got a take as a middle-aged man, middle-aged Jewish-Asian man. As a Jewish-Asian, middle-aged man,

this guy is God's, whatever God it is, most highly favored. Now, I'm 55 years old, okay? I believe he's almost exactly one. 56, I think. 56, I think. 56. Yeah.

His hairline is immaculate. Oh, you hate it? No. Oh, that's just, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not hating. I'm considered to have a good hairline for my age, all right? I'm nowhere near in the same world as this guy. I don't think that's hate.

That's appreciation. I don't know what I tell you. I know. How does he... I know a lot of older people are great. Like, Damien Lemon has a fantastic headline. I mean, hairline. Yeah, but he's in his 40s.

I mean, not David by my age. You're almost 50. 55, 56, where a hairline is deep. I mean... You're not going to find a lot of guys out there. Google would cause his hair loss in hairlines, Taylor. I guarantee a lot of it is stress. A lot of it is probably genetic.

No, he does have a great hair. Like a 10 out of 10. Yeah. But he's always had that. Maybe he did the transplant when it started getting a little late. I don't think so. I'm going to tell you something else. Has his hair line always been?

It's always been. He's used the same barber forever. Okay. Right? I know his barber. Right? He's used the same barber forever. That plays a major part in it.

It's generally on your mother's side. was my understanding. Your mother's father is the indicator of what your hair line's going to look like. Hair loss in men is primarily caused by genetics and a sensitivity to a male hormone called D.HT., which gradually shrinks hair follicles. Other major culprits include stress.

See, not too much of that. I'm stressed. Nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders and overly tight hairstyles. He's never had that. Like, I don't get it. All right, type in what percentage of 56, what percentage of mid-50s?

men. Chris, you hate. It's not hate. You wish you had his acknowledgement. I'm acknowledging. What percentage of... 50-something men still have a full hairline. That's crazy.

That's just said, what percentage of 50-olds can still do a pull-up? But men? What percentage? Thank you. Only 15... Okay. None of that.

That she said 15 to 50. Only 15% of men age 50 to 59, maintain a completely full unrecealed headline. So 15% is not crazy. All right. I'll shut up. He's in the 15%? I thought I was going to be closer to one or two.

And by the way, you only know if you can still grow your hairline out when you do it. You understand what I'm saying? Meaning more of us. Like if you try, if I tried to grow mine out right now. Now type in what percent of 50-something-year-old men have a full hairline and no grays? Yo, you hate it. Type that. I think that.

I have grayed. Fuck that. I didn't see Grazer. But even if he did, when you die him, what's the wrong with that? Yeah, he's using the fat Joe die. I'm out here as God planned it, man. You're not a rapper. You have no appearances to keep up, Chris.

Like, if you had appearances to keep up, you might do it a little differently. Okay, fair enough. I don't see the problem. Like, what are we talking about it? Like, I didn't know you could take out dreads that's been growing up that long. Oh, come on, you do that. No, no, no. I thought, like, when it's that thick or what's it called,

the wicks. It's a long process. I know the wicks you could do that. No, no, it's a very, very, very long process. I mean, I've seen that happen before. I don't. No, they put something in it. That's the secret.

For what it's worth, I have heard that people really like that product. I don't want to hate on the product specifically. Why people want me to be getting paid from Rock Nation, man? Huh? Why is that? Can we get paid for Rock Nation? Tell them sets of checks this way. But why would I be getting paid from Rock Nation?

I saw this, I saw a post. I'm like, why am I getting paid for Rock. Why do I get paid from Rock Nation? Let me see. It says, academics claims that his idol, Charlemagne, speaks for and defends Rock Nation. You know what was so funny about that post?

He was speaking for and defending Drake when he's telling me that I'm speaking for and defending Rock Nation. All I did was give y'all some game last week as to why I thought the outrage for the target, you know, target shit was some bullshit. That's it. Like, I didn't, it's a difference between spewing facts of the matter and having an opinion.

Like, the reason myself or Waino or B dot sound the same, because a fact is a fact. Like, there are other people in Target who have that same exact, exclusive vinyl situation. Why they didn't get no smoke? And why can nobody, but nobody, I don't want somebody to answer the question. Like instead of, you know, jumping out there and being like, oh, my God, they all got the same talking points. Could somebody answer the question? Like, why didn't Jay Cole get smoked when he had the exclusive vinyl, you know, whatever for the falloff? Like, why didn't Kendrick get smoked when he had the exclusive vinyl for GNX?

Like, what, why? Why not? I don't know. I don't understand it, man. But the thing is crazy, it's like, you're on a podcast. we talk about what's in the news and if that's a subject in the news that we're going to talk about it.

Like, I don't think Rock Nation paid you to cover something that's on the news while you're on the podcast talking. No, they did. But if they did, me and Christ need to get a little stuff about that. While we're here. I'm looking up Target's exclusive vinyl

right now to see who else. I told you. Kendrick. I don't see. Oh, Kendrick G&X, yeah. Jay Cole to Fallov. Lynn Manuel Miranda's in there. I might give a fuck. with this? Right now. Right now. You can go there right now. I thought Taylor Swift would be a little bit

more of an ally. She's in there. Prince in the Revolution. He don't got to say now. Why we're here. Can I be bad? But why we snitching on the other people is in it? It's not snitching. That's the whole point. This is just Jay's getting business as usual for everybody else. Page one of 50. So 50 pages worth of artists currently have exclusive Miles Davis, Jay Cole. Are we even still boycott in Target? Fleetwood Mac.

Is this still a boycott on Target? I have no idea. I don't know. But what I would like to do is I want to shout out the view because I was on the view earlier this week. And I took Lauren LaRosa with me because I feel like Lauren LaRosa has a future in daytime television.

Like whatever daytime TV is going to look at. I was going to say, does daytime TV have a future, though? Yes. Okay. Especially if you got to show like, the view. Right. And the reason I say, because if you got a show like the view, because the view is live. Right. And when you scale it down, it might, it might cost a lot to produce now, but that's a show that you can scale down, put those ladies right here on a panel and, you know, let them go

at it. But I bought Lauren LaRosa with me because I feel like, you know, whatever daytime TV is going like in the future, Lauren LaRosa is going to be a big part of it. So I did the view this week. How important is the audience element to you? Like, Is that the same show in a studio without an audience? Because when you talk about the production expense around these sort of shows, I would think that's a big part of it, right? Filming it not only live, but in front of an audience. I mean, I don't care either way.

I think sometimes you can get caught up in the performativeness of commentary, knowing that you have an audience. Like, I can be on a show like that, say something, and everybody would be like, you know, and it don't bother me. because of radio and podcast. I don't say things to get a reaction.

I say things because, you know, that's what it is that we do. But I did the view this week. Also, man, the Wall Street Journal did a great article on me called How Charlomane the God Mastered the Modern Media Era. Oh, yeah, I saw that. Yeah.

So I'm just saying all that to say, when you see me, talk to the worldwide nigginess. Just know, I am so versatile, baby. I can go from the view to the wall, Street Journal, the Chick's Move in a heartbeat. Okay, I was watching Chick's Move this week

and I saw some good shit that Chick's move. Chick's Move put me on to some shit, man. And we're gonna, I'm gonna get back to that Academics TV post in a second. That's why I want to talk about this because Chick's Move talked about how George Lewin, how do you pronounce it, Chris? I believe it's Win.

George Winn, AKA Grand, was it. Well, first of all, it was two posts, right? It was two posts that Chig talked about. Where's the first one at? Oh, yeah, this first one. It's a picture of George. Make sure to post this on the video. It's a picture of George.

It says George, aka Grand Wizard Chattnigger, the man behind academics TV, is photographed in Australia, dodging process servers, multiple lawsuits loom along with possible criminal charges tied to a multinational crackdown on crypto-fueled gambling and money laundering.

Then it was another post, and the post said, George Wynne, aka Grand Wizard Chattnaker, a man behind academics TV is photographed in Australia being served one of multiple lawsuits he's facing along with possible criminal charges tied to a multinational crackdown

on crypto-fueled gambling and money laundering. Now, I saw Chick's Move talk about those two posts, and then I saw two articles that came out this week. One was from... Who is this website? It's a guy named Dalton Jackson, Senior Systems and Culture Writer at Inverse Wire.

Okay. And the headline is, Pay no attention to the Grand Wizard behind the curtain. And there's a picture of Drake and Aidan Ross, and it says five lawsuits say the bets were rigged, the screams were bought, and even the chat losing his mind was a hire inside the machine that manufactures Drake.

Now, Drake. According to this article on Inverse, it says, according to a stack of class action lawsuits filed across five states this spring, almost none of what you just watched was real. And it's talking about these bets that happened on... What website is?

I think state cash was one of the ones, polymarket. If it's the same article I read, basically what it was insinuating or claiming, maybe not even insinuating is they have celebrities, influencers. Oh, it is think. Yes. Yeah, go on, go live, right?

And you watch them making bets in real time. Yeah. And then it looks like, obviously, they're hitting and they're like, I think the term they're... You can read the article? I can read that one. Oh, read it. Yeah. It says, picture the scene. Because you've already seen it a hundred times. Drake, gold-drypping, leaning into Aidan Ross's webcam. A six-figure number on a slot screen.

The real spin, they land. The number doubles, then doubles again, and the chat detonates into a wall of fire emojis, and he's different. A millionaire wins a million more, live, while a few hundred thousand kids watch and quietly do the math. If that's easy for him, maybe it's that easy for me. Now, here's the part that should make your stomach drop. According to a stack of class action lawsuits filed across five states this spring, almost none of what you just watched was real. Not the bet, not the win, not even the chat losing its mind.

The whole thing, the single most successful gambling marketing, engine of the decade may have been an elaborate piece of theater put on by a betting company whose signature trick is that it doesn't actually bet. It says, start, oh, it says, the screen you're sold on is stake.us, and stake.us is not a casino in the way you think is a sweepstakes platform, a legal costume that lets a gambling company operate in states for real money online gambling is flatly illegal. The mechanism is a shell game of two fake currencies. There are gold coins which you can buy in bundles, but which are worth nothing, can never be cashed out just for fun.

And there's state cash, which you're technically only ever given for free, a single state cash on a daily login bonus and which can be redeemed for real money at a dollar apiece. The legal magic word is no purchase necessary. You don't buy the gambling. You buy the worthless coins and the valuable coins come free, and air quotes on the side, wink. So this is my question with this whole situation is, okay, let's say you want to bet with a

casino on an NBA game, right? In theory, Vegas has set a line for that game and all these other sporting events based on what a panel of experts or observers have, you know, we think the Knicks are, you know, going to win by three. And there's not a lot of variability, right? Like maybe, I don't really bet, but like between different casino sites, maybe a little fluctuation, but it's pretty solid based on what everyone's opinion is. So the example they're using in this article is when is, what,

It was Drake's album called Iceman? Iceman. When's Iceman going to come out, right? Who's determining what the actual odds are, right? There's not a panel of, you know, if you're betting an NBA game, you're like, well, you know, historically this team has performed this well in this setting and this person's injured and this person's playing and when they're on the road. There's no, I don't know what the term is. There's no sort of information to quantify a bet like that against.

Yes. I want you to hold that thought, Chris. Right. They have a part in this article it says how the trap is baited for kids specifically. It says this is the part worth being angry about

because it isn't subtle. The audience for these screams skew young and male. Aidan Ross's core demographic is teenagers and early 20-something and the machinery is tuned to that audience's exact psychology. It runs on paris social trust. A kid doesn't believe a banner ad

but he believes Drake and he believes the screamer. He's watched for a thousand hours. It runs on live screen immediacy. It's happening right now on camera. You can't fake that, which is precisely the instinct the staging exploits.

It runs on giveaways, the screamer flinging free state cash into the chat to get a first taste in the door. And it runs through that sweepstake loophole that lets the whole thing skate past the age gates and state bands a real sports book would slam into. Twitch band gambling content from unlicensed sites back in 2020 and said the quiet part out loud in this reasoning. The influence on younger viewers stake has since been formally accused of targeting young users through exactly these influences. So the funnel is a rigged win performed by a trusted viewer. paid for by the house, broadcast on the channel, the house owns, aimed at the demographic, Lisa quipped to spot the difference between a man gambling and a man acting like he's gambling. The kid copies the only part he's allowed to see what the only money in the equation that's

actually real is. Now, can I bring you back around to George? Because they mentioned George in this article. And now it's all starting to make sense. See, this is what I don't understand about you, George. you George, when I gave academics some information that you had got cornered by investigators and you were, you know, telling investigators you get your marching orders from Mack and Drake, I ain't know nothing about nothing.

My intel was completely off. They told me that it was him taking money from politicians or some shit like that. When you sent that message to whoever you sent that message to and you said, could you please not post my picture, you know, because you. Charlemagne's mentioning crypto and I don't want to get my house rated. I wondered why crypto had you so goddamn spooked. And now it makes all the sense in the world. It says right here.

And the winnings paid for the applause. Here's where the loop closes on itself and gets genuinely strange. The lawsuits alleged those rigged casino winnings weren't only for show. They were a laundering rail. Money allegedly moved through stakes encrypted tipping feature described in the complaints as a wholly encrypted and substantially unregulated tool. perfect for pushing untraceable crypto to people you'd rather not be caught paying.

And who got paid? Bot operators. The suits claim the proceeds, financed, screaming farms that pumped out millions of fake plays of Drake's catalog, bending Spotify's algorithm, faking a culture-wide consensus,

manufacturing the very stardom that made the casino deal valuable in the first place. A rigged casino generates fake wins. The fake wins fund fake streams. The fake streams manufacture real fame. The real fame sells the casino. a perfect circle that never once touches reality,

which brings us finally to the man behind the curtain who you genuinely cannot make this up. Goes by Grand Wizard. George Winn, an Australian named as a defendant, allegedly runs the academics TV account and operates in chat under that handle. The filings cast him as the operational hinge, the guy who converts the state crypto to cash,

okay, lies on with the bot vendors and coordinates narratives, the paid clips, the manufactured phrase, the slander of rival artists, the synthetic chat hype that makes the stage moment feel organic, and per the leaked chat logs the complaints lean on. The wizard wasn't freelancing. He was allegedly taking his marching orders straight from Drake and DJ academics. The hype man for the hype was himself a higher. George Wynn named in the lawsuits the operator, oh, strip away the crypto rails and the bot farms and what you're left with is almost petty. Two grown famous men allegedly running a burner, offense to the academics TV account, and the Grand Wizard handle functioned per the

filing and the leaked logs as a deniable sock puppet, a back room where the biggest artist alive and one of rap media's loudest voices could manufacture their own applause, seed their own talking points, and quietly knife rival artists without ever putting their names on the knife. Sit with that image for a second. Drake allegedly paying a guy in Oscar to run his hate account. That isn't a power move. It's a confession about how thin the real thing must feel from the inside that the most successful artist of his generation would rather than rent a crowd, rent a crowd, then risk finding out he doesn't have one. Now, Drake definitely has the crowd.

You're not going to, let's not get crazy. Yeah, he definitely has, he wouldn't have to resort to that. I don't know if he did or he didn't, but he definitely has an audience. Is this just what everything's going to look like in the future,

that all the information we get is going to be basically an artificial loop? Maybe. You know? I just, that article is inverse wire by Dalton Jackson, senior systems and culture writer. Don't get mad at Charlemagne. Okay,

That is not fucking it, okay? No, that is not it. There was an article that came out this week also in the Wall Street Journal. Nobody's on my bad side. I promise you nobody's on my bad side. I'm just proving the point. And the point is, I told y'all motherfuckers a couple weeks ago.

I literally told him a told that a couple weeks ago this shit was coming down the pipe. I didn't know it was all of this shit, though. Yeah. I didn't know. I didn't know nothing about none of this shit. I just... Some of this worries me because a lot of these streamers,

they gamble at the same time while they're on stream. Well... So, like, I'm wondering... Yeah, like, they're always like, you know, they'll roll the roulette or they're playing 21 or something like that while they're streaming the whole time. So it's like, I'm wondering, are these real sites at their... I have no idea.

Gambling on? Can you get in trouble for that? Of course. Yeah, this is some white-time crime. What's the crime? Just the money laundering and all of that? No, no, no, I'm talking about like if you are pretending that you're gambling but on just like a dummy stuff. I mean, I'm sure.

I'm sure. I'm not the legal scholar here. I'm just reading the articles, man. The Wall Street Journal has a, you know what the, first of all, this article is by Catherine Long, Caitlin Ostroff, Neil Mehta, and Brenna T. Smith, right? This is in the Wall Street Journal. And this is why y'all don't be knowing nothing and y'all be thinking people would be signing crazy because y'all don't read. I literally saw a motherfucker say

if you put it in an article Charlamagne'll believe it. No, if you put it in an article, Charlamo'll read it and he'll take in information. The reason y'all don't know shit is because y'all don't read. Read a little bit. This article, the headline is, this on Wall Street Journal. They looked like they were getting rich on Polly Market, but none of it was real.

Oh, yeah. The prediction market has flooded social media with deceptive videos by paid creators according to a Wall Street Journal investigation. Bro, what? This guy looks like he'd be. just won $6,000. Except he didn't. This is not a real bet. Neither is this one or this one. The people who made those videos were paid by Polymarket to promote fake bets and fake wins to make it

seem like anyone can make money on their website. We analyzed over a thousand videos like these and found that the bets shown in all of them were faked. Bro, there's no way this is real right now. Take this video, for example. This guy looks like he's spending $200 betting that Trump is going to say the words April fools during the first week of April. Now, this market is supposed to close in April, but the data in the chart goes all the way through May. And then, they show a video of Trump saying, That video is actually from March of last year. Anyone who made this bet in real life lost money.

Take a look at this one. If you zoom in on the URL, you'll notice that the site isn't Polly Market, but P-O-I-I-R-R-R. Y-ymarket.com. Influencers who have worked with Polymarket told us that the company gave them a password to access the website so that they can create real-looking trades. They're supposed to film their videos and send them to Polymarket for review, and if a video isn't engaging enough, or if it's obviously faked, they have to refilm it. But the mock-ups still aren't perfect. Sometimes you'll see a generic polymarket.com source credit on the fake website that's not on the real one. miss little things, like a green arrow that shows the change in a percentage for a market. On a real Polymarket browser, the tab is always the name of the market. But here it's just Polymarket. Oh, how does this even make sense? All these fake wins are part of a campaign that's gotten over

140 million views. That's thanks in part to an army of content producers that Polymarket pays to repost the videos all over social media. After we started reaching out to these creators, these creators, many of them deleted all of their posts from their accounts or started disclosing that they work for Polymarket. When we reached out to Polymarket, a spokesperson told us that the company is committed to maintaining accurate and transparent markets and that they're conducting an audit of their promotional content. But these videos are still out there. Wait, what? Now, mind you, that's stuff that I just, basically what I read in the Inverse article is in the Wall Street Journal article, but this is what I found interesting.

It says, they have a section where it says insider influence. Polymarket and virality, and virality is the Clipper site, right? Yeah. Targeted dozens of videos by Aidan Ross, the 25-year-old Manosphere phenom with millions of followers for promotion. Ross has a multi-million dollar deal with Polymarket, according to a person familiar with the negotiations,

and he averages a half hour per week on his live screen, scrolling through Polymarket and commenting on potential trades. In at least five of the videos, Ross identified ways he could use inside information to trade on the platform. In one video targeted for promotion, Ross said he could easily use inside information to trade on the release date of a forthcoming album from the hip-hop artist Drake

who is Ross's acquaintance. Right, that's what I read. Representatives for Ross and Drake declined to comment. Smart men. Very smart men. People, George, you can learn a lot from Drake and Aiden Ross. It is okay to shut the fuck up, right?

Internal materials show that polymarketing virality promote videos showing how easy it is to conduct insider trades on the platform. Polymarket is paid clippers to promote at least 19 videos discussing opportunities to use inside information or other tactics to manipulate markets. Polymarket said it prohibits trading based on stolen information. The legal tips are information obtained in breach of a duty of trust, confidentiality or other legal obligation. It added that Polymarkets' market integrity framework includes trade monitoring, on-chain transparency, reporting channels, and escalation processes to detect review and respond to suspicious activity where appropriate,

we engage with regulators and law enforcement to support the integrity of our markets. Why did I read all of that? I read all of that because... You're petty. No, it came to my attention on Shabang. Okay, you know Shabang where everybody's hot wiping themselves off, okay?

Maybe they're sweating because the heat is on, right? I don't know. But in Shabang, Drake says, Shored to keep asking the date, she's trying to finesse Polly Market for Bray. Now, I want you to think about everything I just read, Wall Street Journal and everything, and then connect the dots to that verse. And this is not an indictment of Drake in any way, shape, or form. I'm just wanting Drake and academics to know the people they surround themselves with are idiots.

Because Academics TV heard me also say what I just said on Breakfast Club and play the edited version of what he said. This is what I said on Breakfast Club. I referenced the Wall Street Journal article. And the Wall Street Journal article, let me go back to the headline. it says they looked like they were getting rich on Polly Market, but none of it was real, right? And then

I talked about the Polly Market and Virality thing where they targeted dozens of videos and I said representatives for Ross and Drake declined the comment and then I quoted the verse from Shabang Shorty keep asking the date she's trying to Fide's Polymarket for Brett. Look how they edited this on Academic TV.

Oh, let me read you the headline. Charlemagne accuses Drake of committing a white collar crime. Do you not understand how much you're telling on people? You're telling on your own people, even if it's not the truth, even if the story is not real and these are just all crazy wild accusations and allegations because that's all they are at the moment. Why would you bring attention to it by clipping it and putting that headline? Because if the feds are actually watching or some type of law enforcement is actually watching, trust me when I tell you, they're actually watching. Why would you, who's connected to these people?

Academics TV, George Wynn. Why would you post this headline? Charlemagne accuses Drake of committing a white collar crime. And look at the caption. Bras new fear-mongering talking points dropped and they want you to think Jay-Z did nothing wrong, partnering with Target, but Drake is now committing federal crimes,

shouting out Polly Market. Who's brus? Me. Oh, like bros? Yes. Play-to-play and play. Hey, Taylor. The market ran a deceptive marketing campaign that paid creators to bet on Drake's album release date.

And in that song, he said, Shorty, keep asking the date. He's trying to finesse Polly Market for Brad. First white collar crime, confess. You know what you cut out? You cut out the fact that I was quoting an article from the Wall Street Journal. You did that on purpose because you don't want to direct nobody to that article in the Wall Street Journal, which is why it is okay, George, to shut the fuck up. Because if you don't post this on Academics TV, then I don't come on brilliant idiots podcasts

and read all of that shit and direct people where they should go get this information. Well, don't shut all the way. We're getting a lot of confidence. We're getting a lot of content. Grand, chill, man. We're getting a lot of content out of it. I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing your last name.

I don't have no issue with none of these people. I just keep wondering why the fuck my name keep coming up? I don't know. I wondered the same thing. Why do they keep doing this? Why do they keep bringing my name? Bill Grant. Jay-Z,

Billboard says Jay-Z got the number seven song of the year. And I don't even agree with that. But, because it's not a song. Yeah. It's not a song. Like it's the,

if they were talking about just music moments, yes, that's one of the top music moments of the year. But I can't put that as the number seven song of the year and the highest charting rap song. Not the charting, but Billboard said it's the biggest, I guess they're saying it's the biggest rap song

of 2006 so far. It's not a song. Like, I can name a few other songs that I think should be ahead of Jay Z Roots Picnic Freestyle, even though I enjoy Jay Z Roots Picnic Freestyle. But Billboard says that, and somehow or another,

it becomes, hold on, can I read the headline? Why y'all get mad when I want to have some fun? I want to have a little fun and I want to talk and respond to things. I can't do it. Why is that?

You got to be peace online, man. Peace on live. It is peace online. Who said this? Who's not having peace online? I'm about to leave for 10 days and I'm not gonna give a fuck about what y'all talking about.

Academics said, they hurt my heart watching my hip-hop media idol, Shalaman, Spit Rock Nation talking points. I'm speechless. I was proud of Joe Buddeno. At least he's not on script, even though he deaf loved him some hove. The rest of y'all shills,

I don't care. Y'all voices ain't loud enough. Rock Nation fin a pull of political alignment this year. They got all their puppets working hard. They call in any criticism, smear campaigns. Do not be fooled. These people are evil.

Act, I'm telling you, this don't have nothing to do with beer campaigns. This has to do with crypto and these betting markets. And that's the actual issue that everybody should be worried about. Y'all, y'all focused on the wrong things. If y'all think that this is people coming at, you know, these pages because of criticism. And by the way, there's a thin line between criticism and defamation too. So you also got to always walk that line as well. So I don't know what all of these lawsuits y'all got are about, but I know five of them, according to the Wall Street Journal and inverse wide.com, got to do with crypto. So that's all I'm saying.

Pray for everybody, man. I ain't praying for nobody, okay? I wake up in the morning to pray for being my people. By the way, I don't have, and I really want y'all to understand this. I don't have no issue with none of these folks. I'm just simply saying if y'all going to put out narratives, at least put out to write narratives. Because to me, it looked like y'all must be trying to get folks jammed up. When I hear stories that y'all were talking to investigators and y'all were telling investigators that y'all were getting y'all marching orders from Ack and Drake, and then I start seeing the Wall Street Journal and Inverse Wire and you getting served and they're saying

that you're part of some multinational crypto ring. It all starts to add up to me. Well, I mean, if the Wall Street Journal is reporting on it, that means it's only the tip of the iceberg. Right. Oh, that's the other thing, too. Can I say one more thing? By all means. Let me say one more thing. The thing I don't understand is like, you would just try to look out. It's unbelievable. And all of a sudden, I'm the person behind this. Meanwhile, Wall Street Journal said they did an investigation. Axe said that TD, not TD, X said that, uh, that Kendrick's manager said they had PI's on them, right? You, you, you were in a deposition with Rock Nation. What else did

say somebody else I'm missing. Oh, this is when I'm getting at. Oh, Wall Street, yeah, I just said Wall Street Journal did an investigation. Oh, the age media outlet in Australia said they did an investigation. But then I saw Meek. Meek recently, what did Meek say? Let me find Meeks tweet. Meek's so funny.

Hold on. Where is Meeks tweet, man? Oh, I know what we were talking about. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Hold on. It was kind of like, who is this guy I keep hearing about or something with that effect. Where is it, man?

Somebody. Taylor, you're the producer. don't nobody ever want me to have fun. Why can't I ever have fun? Everybody's like, oh, no, child, man, you shouldn't think, why can't I have a little fun? Why can I not go from the view to the worldwide nigginess? It's fun, but it also speaks to a much bigger issue that we're all facing, which is insider trading and the manipulation of the stock market. And that's the shit that has me worried.

Why? You doing that shit? I don't know. I play by the book. Let me be very clear. Asian or something you ran with a Chinese. No, I'm panicking because I'm watching what I feel like is a lot of these stocks and a lot of these companies being artificially inflated in terms of their value. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Due to insider trading and manipulation of the stock market and then you factor in all the crypto, which has been completely unregulated. Like, sure, this is culturally interesting to us, but it's like also a very small little piece of this larger thing that we're all kind of ensnared in right now. But then is it even anything wrong with what they're doing? And in their defense, if I'm one of these kids who's doing this on Polly Market or one of these sites, and I see Trump and his Treasury Department doing a version of it, why would I think there's anything wrong with what I'm doing? This is the new reality. You don't have the protections that Trump and his people are.

Well, and then that's what you find out when you get in a little too deep. Meek said, who is Grand Wizard? I've been hearing about you for a minute. I've used Claude and Real Investigators to ask while my screen declined 89%. not normal in 2024. It pointed me to academics campaign. Screams are back normal, by the way. Academics, we need answers.

Tap in. Remember I said we're going to follow everything because it's all documented on the net. This is all I'm saying, man. This is all I'm saying. That's funny, though. I exclawful. My streams are down.

It's funny. But I'm adding meek and claw to the line of investigators. Okay, meek and Claude are on the list. How y'all get to meet? How am I behind you? any of this. But this is what I will say. Act,

let's have the conversation. Because I don't want to see any of y'all talking about, you know, people are getting paid to support and defend folks. Because the reality is you have an OVO chain. So, you're supporting and defending Drake

because you feel like Drake should be higher on this billboard top 50 songs thing and by the way, I might can agree with that. Like, I don't, I don't think Jay-Z's root picnic

freestyle should have been on there because it's not a song. But you jumped out the window defending that. I don't want to hear about none of that. I want to hear about this. Talk to me about your boy, Grand Wizard being mentioned

and all of this crypto shit. Talk to me about that. I ain't even pointing at Drake with this shit. Because, like, Drake could just be a person who, you know, is caught up in a situation that he don't even know nothing about. Sometimes you can get caught up these, you know, deals with companies and not really truly know what's going on.

I don't know. I'm just shooting bail. I have no. Can I ask a question? Like, are Drake and Jay-Z even really competitors at this point? Because that's how it's being framed to me. It's like Rock Nation, Drake. And I'm like, admittedly, I'm not tapped in on any of this shit, but like, I feel like

Jay-Z's, if not retired, like he won. It's over. Chris, Jay-Z's been home. Right. So what is he fighting for, fighting over? Like, that would, that's what doesn't add up to me. I think that there's this way. Or paying people to go out and like.

I still think these celebrities, they have big egos. They don't like each other. I don't believe that. They've not liked each other. I don't believe that. I think that you're buying into the internet narrative. But Drake takes subliminal shots at Jay all the time. Who?

Say it again? Drake takes subliminal shots. That's at. Exactly. But I don't think Jay thinking about Drake. But he referenced him in a freestyle just now. Because Drake took a million shots at him on Iceman. So that's what I'm saying.

So clearly. If I had a head of hair like that, I wouldn't give a shit. If I was 56 years old with a head of hair like that, you'd say whatever you want. That's the other thing, too. I see people saying, I wonder if Drake's going to reply to Jay Z. Drake has already said what he said. Drake replied to, I mean, Jay Z replied to Drake. And why shouldn't he?

He's outside. It's the 30-year anniversary of reasonable doubt. His first album, the album that laid the foundation for everything. I promise you, in however many years, when So Far Gone is 30 years old, Drake is going to celebrate that too. It's going to happen. He might celebrate it even sooner.

When is the 10-year anniversary of So Far Gone? That's probably already happened, right? That should have been. 20-year anniversary of so far gone. Drake should celebrate that. Why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you celebrate it? celebrate your first mainstream project?

2009, so it would be 29. So, 2020, it'll be 20 years. You don't think Drake's going to celebrate that? I think it could be something as simple as Drake just wanted this to be his year and just him alone. And I think probably just a little ego that they're like, yo, Jay's stepping on my rollout.

It's the 30-year interview. I'm just, yo, Alex, I know it don't make sense. We're recording this on June 25th. But you know how they all. But you know how they are. We're recording this on June 25th. The album came out June 25th, 1996. When I leave here, I'm going to the pop-up shop.

And I better get a fucking discount. In fact, I better not pay for nothing since I'm on the goddamn A roll. You get an employee. Do I get an employee discount? Oh, yeah. I should, right? Huh? There you can come.

I don't know about no discount. I don't know. I don't know. I know what I'm going to get. Wait, Taylor's come out with a cup. I'm going. I'm going to that as soon as I leave here. Yeah, yeah.

That shit is, what time? Man, the fact, it's close to that 8 o'clock. I'm going to that right there, okay? But I'll say this. No, act, for real, let's have the conversation. After I see you. Do you actually mean that, though? Because, oh, well, not with George.

Would you have a combo with George? With Act. No. I don't know. I don't know. Why do I need to have a conversation with George and have a conversation with Act? Because y'all, I don't want to talk to the puppet.

You know, matter of fact, I need to know who the puppet master is. Which one is the puppet of the puppet master? What came first? The academics TV or the academics? Whoa. I'm just asking questions. I need to know. I want to know.

So you and Act need to have a conversation. Yes. I mean, we did. We had a fucking two and a half conversation. I thought we were very clear. And we talked after that. Apparently, it don't seem like shit is clear. Well, you know?

It don't seem like shit is clear. Listen, man. And we don't need this. This is messy. We don't need what? What is messy? This is messy. Alex, none of this is messy.

I gave Act a heads up on some stuff. Yeah. And now this stuff is coming to a head. And I think it's going to get worse. It looks. It looks like it. I think it's going to get fucking. And I tried to give him a heads up too, and he knows I did.

And George, why the fuck were you wearing a Lakers hoodie? You should have had on a Toronto Raptors hoodie. What type of team member are you? What type of team fucking player are you when you wearing the Ops' favorite basketball team? This shit is insane, though. This shit is insane. But no, putting the button on it by saying, And me and I can have the conversation publicly if you want to.

Because I want to know, I got questions. It's happened right here. I got questions. I want to know about this stuff. I ain't seen none of y'all talking about this yet. Stop deflecting from this stuff. I want to know about these headlines at the Wall Street Journal. Act.

And inverse. You and Charlotte. And everybody else is talking about. Please, because this is, come on. Come on, man. Listen, I have no, I have none. Then there was another one. I saw some other.

This is some other paperwork. I don't know what the fuck this is. But once again, I just want to know. I want to know about this. I'm going to read these two headlines again and that we can pay some bills and move on. But inverse wire.com says, pay no attention to the Grand Wizard behind the curtain.

Five lawsuits say the bets were rigged, the screams were bought, and even the chat losing its mind was a higher inside the machine that manufactures Drake. Grand Wizard is mentioned in that, George Winn. Act, I want to hear you talk about that. And the Wall Street Journal article is, they looked like they were getting rich on Polly Market,

but none of it was real. The prediction market has flooded social media with deceptive videos by paid creators according to a Wall Street Journal investigation. Drake and Aiden Ross declined the comment for that article as they should and shorty keep asking the date. She's trying to fideast polymarking for bread. That ain't got nothing to do at Rock Nation. That ain't got nothing to do with Kendrick.

Oh, I just got the line now. She's asking the date, meaning the release. Yeah, yeah. Chris, come on. Hey, he told it to us. You're trying to beat the Asian rumors. You knew you caught that. You added that up already.

No, I didn't. No, I really didn't. All right. I want to hear you talk about that. Talk about that stuff. Don't talk about me. That Yankees shit is fire. That Yankees shit is fire.

I heard it's $400. Don't talk about me. Don't talk about Rock Nation. Address y'all shit. Don't try to deflect and say Rock Nation is paying people to do X, Y, this ain't got nothing to do with nobody. This is investigations that people have been doing on you and your team. We should have hit that. We could have had come right before you leave.

Just set the worldwide nigginset all in a place. I need the niggins to sit with this for 10 days. Okay. All right? While I'm minding my business on an island somewhere, okay? And then when I come back, I'll catch up on everything that the worldwide niggins that's been talking about. Let's pay some bills, Taylor, gang. Okay, let's get back to the show.

Church announcements, I don't got nothing. Okay, I'm going on vacation. All right. Now, listen, you can pre-order Little John's book. It'll be out in October through Black Privilege Publish. You can go pre-order that. Jess O'Larius, till death do we parent,

you can go pre-order that right now as well. Our senior hall's book is out. You can go, you can go, you can go, oh, now I'm lying, yeah, Jess's book is out, you can go order that. Arsenio Hall's book is out, you can go bookstores and buy that. Two-Chane's book is out,

you can go out and bookstores and buy that. Other than that, I'm on vacation, man. Don't bother me for the next 10 days, okay? No. My birthday is Monday, but I don't care. I mean, I care, you know, thank God, but I don't care who knows this one day. I don't care.

They're listening to no. I'm not going to be, I'm not going to be attached to nothing. I am disconnecting tomorrow. Yes, by about noon tomorrow, I'm completely disconnected. Okay? And there's no podcast.

It's no brand of this podcast. There's no breakfast club. There's no social media. I'm just disconnected. Completely. Gone. Okay? That's nice.

So, you know, y'all, y'all argue amongst yourselves on the worldwide nickname. Okay? Got any church announcements, Alex? Few. If you want to record at the best podcast studios in New York and in LA, WTFmedia Studios.com. I also have a live call-in show. It's called AM mornings. I do that every Sunday. You have to call in, show your face. We talk about all different types of topics.

And then last, I got a tennis event coming up July 25th. It's called All Love Racquet Club.com. That's where you can get your tickets. If you're a beginner, intermediate, advance, we got courts and coaches. that can teach you everything. It's a really fun event. There's music, giveaways, all that stuff. So just head over

to the all-love racket club.com. All right. Man, Taylor, play that audio I sent you that 50 simple. You also never

played the view clip, by the way. I didn't play the view clip? Nah. What was the view clip? Oh, you said when you went on with Lauren.

Oh, I mean, we got clips. You want to play a clip, Taylor? We can play a clip from the view? Why know? But why do you think

daytime television is going to last. I ain't say daytime television. I said that shows like the view. I mean, you already see that, you know, like Kelly Clarkson went away. Sherry Shepard went away. Tamara Hall is still on.

The reason I think the view is going to last because it's live. I think live is the only thing that's going to survive the future of any of these meetings. That's why I think what Netflix is doing with Breakfast Club is dope because we're on live every day, you know, 6 a.m.

to 9 a.m. Like, you know, they can tune in and watch us. And not only are they watching us on the air, they're watching us behind the scenes, just kicking it in the studio. But I just feel like that was just the original podcast. That's just the podcast. What, The View?

Yeah. Yeah, but that's what I mean. Like, right now the View lives on, like, four different platforms. Yeah, but I'm saying if you take away the live element, I think it's the same show. No, you keep it live. I would keep it live. You just scale, all you do is scale down to production, right?

And you still keep it live. That's why I asked about the audience. Maybe a smaller audience. I mean, it's just going to, I hate to say that because I love, I love these crews that make up these shows. You can't do these shows without these amazing crews. But there's going to come a point where these, you know, companies and these networks are going to have to scale down.

And you can keep a show like The View on simply because it's a live show. Like, and the view comes on ABC Linear. It comes on Hulu, Disney Plus, and it goes out on YouTube and you got the social media clips like they're living like a they're living like a breathing live show should live

so I think that's why I think the view will be around and I mean like I said I think people like Lauren La Rosa in the future man Lauren is whatever whatever daytime TV looks like in the future Lauren LaRosa is going to be a part of it what's this clip Taylor? Lauren's great well

I was definitely quick now for the ball spot What? Play it. And play the boss ball ball one. Let's see you. Play. Oh, no. I sent the view clip that I had.

What clip did you have? The one where the guy called you anti-Semitic. Oh, shit. Yeah, play that one. Oh, my God. That was crazy. Why do you just be throwing? What's up with y'all?

There's something. Why do people just be making up shit? Let me talk to all the people in the comments saying very anti-Semitic shit about me. I don't know if you caught that. No, I don't be reading the comments. I read him. Tiny hat. What the fuck is that?

That's crazy. That's crazy. No, that's not even... That's OG anti-Semitism. Never heard it. No, that was not a slur. That's like... Never heard it.

And then I went to the doctor today. I'm talking to the doctor the entire time. And he bends over to... He was looking at some shit in my mouth. He bent over and he had on... A little hat. And I was like, oh shit, tiny hat. Yeah.

That's old. Now you guys have infested me with this bullshit. Yeah, this guy here... But that was not bad. That's love. Tiny hat? Yeah. It doesn't feel like love.

It's like... What's this guy's name? I'm telling you. The little tiny hats. They're wearing. Yarmaca. What does that say? Chris, Nicholas what?

He thinks it. A lot of bad. Fondackero. It does not feel like love to me. I checked with my other Jew friends. Why wouldn't you say nice hat? Because it's tight as small. It is tiny.

I don't have to call him. No, you were gaslighting me right now. No, I'm really, you were trying to. I'm telling you this one. Type in tiny hat. I thought it was a little. Is tiny hat slur? No, it's not.

It's not. I don't agree that. I heard it was. There's no way you were going to twist this. I was at a Jewish wedding two weekends ago. No one was like, yo, can you put on a tiny hat on? And they said, you can say it. No.

I swear. No. All right, maybe they gave me the tiny hat pass. Damn. I think it's a slur. Yes, tiny hat is frequently used as an anti-Semitic dog. And we're not editing this. This is a teachable moment out.

Teachable moment. Not editing this. I'm glad. I'm glad we addressed this. No, you're the anti-sebite over here. I'm not. I don't want that. No, the listeners.

Let me tell you something. Y'all ain't going to ever make me hate my Jewish folk. Thank you. Okay. All right? But this is, this is a... Go to glossary of anti-Semitic terms. Man, my people told me wrong.

I just, I just want to see which one of these I actually... I thought it was all love. I think that we got, people got to stop throwing the word anti-Semitic around so loosely, though. Like, just because you criticize B. Bibi Netton Yahoo and the Israeli government, it doesn't mean that you're anti-Semitic. Like, people got to stop saying that. That's what this guy said.

That's why he called me anti-Semitic. Right, but what you saw in New York this week with the elections is an actual example of that, right? Okay. Where you had, I believe it's the 10th congressional district, Goldman versus my guy, Bradlanders, who won. Brad won. Both Jewish. I've gone to synagogue with Bradlanders. I've gone to his synagogue.

You've been a Brad guy before a wide. I've been a Brad guy since day one. I really like the guy. Just having met him, seen him around the community. He's very Jewish, but he's also very much against what's happening right now in Israel. And he's not afraid to articulate that. And just the way that I said earlier, I think it's good for... No, Dale, you got...

Listeners, you can't see this, but I was just assaulted with, like 10 very anti-Semitic images on the fucking screen right now. Words. Words. What is it? What is it stupid, what is this? Stupid, hand-down anti-Semitic words and images? What fuck was that? That was crazy.

That should make my skin crawl just now. What the fuck was that? God. Dang. That was triggering. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, Chris, man. What's what you do you say about Brian? I'm just saying, like, my thing, you know, personally, I've always been critical or tried to be critical of Israel as a Jew, as a tiny hat.

That's really government. Government. Policy. Because I believe if there's just blanket support, then people and governments and policies tend to drift towards radical positions and there has to be a balance. There has to be people criticizing even within Israeli context, the left and the right, so you can achieve the balance in the middle. And I think it is fair to say, like if you look at what happened in New York with Brad Landers, he's very Jewish. I can personally attest to that. He cares deeply about Jews. He's not in any way

anti-Semitic, but he's very critical of the Israeli government. And I think he had a quote where he basically said, I'm very much against the genocide in Palestine or Gaza, but I'm also very much against anti-Semitism and bigotry. And those are both the same job. That's how he phrased it. It's both the same job. Why can't you, why can't you have that mindset? Well, I think you can, and it literally just won, which was what was encouraging about it.

But what's discouraging to me, personally, I'm only speaking for Chris Marrow right now, is that his victory was affirmed nationally as a victory. for anti-semitism. And I don't think that's true. Calling out Bibi Netanyahu in the Israeli government. Right. And saying that Bibi Netanyahu

in the Israeli government, you know, whatever your criticism is that is, that doesn't make you anti-Semitic no more than calling out Donald Trump or Joe Biden, or any administration here in America. It doesn't make you an American.

I can call out Donald Trump in his administration and be a proud American. Like that don't make me un-American because I call out an administration. Right. Like, what? That don't make no logical sense. Now, if you call me a tiny hat, you are anti-Semitic. Talk to you. All right? That is anti-Semitic. Why did that one so hard? Because I never heard it before. I thought I heard it all. I thought I thought it was Jewish slur. And then they hit me with Tiny Hat and I was like, I can't, but I knew Tiny hat. I can't believe you thought you didn't know that was a slur. No one's ever said it to me.

That's crazy. Who? He said a Hey Arnold. Who? You know, hey Arnold. Hey, Arnold. Go back to the Instagram link, man. I do want people to be able to have these conversations without generalizing all Jewish people. That's what's making this crazy. And that's why I don't like when people say Israel.

Like say BB Netanyahu and the Israeli government. Right. And just me saying that right now is going to have a bunch of people. You know what's funny? Nicholas will say I'm anti-Semitic, but it'll be a bunch of people in my comments right now saying, see, they own shit. He works for the tiny hat. They control him.

I look this guy up, by the way. Nicholas Fonducero, which does not sound like a Jewish name to me. Maybe he's an Italian Jew. I don't know. But my sense is his job is to watch the view to clip certain, you know, moments and try to present them in a anti-progressive Democratic left is whatever you want to call light. So this is just his daily 9 to 5. He doing me like academics TV?

Right. Look with the caption. The caption says the view welcomes anti-Semitism with open arms. The view refuses to push back when Shalameen the God suggests the Jews control Trump in America. Let's hear the clip. Let's hear the clip. Let's hear this anti-Semitic stuff here. They're finally speaking out on something regarding Trump.

And two, is he setting vans up, you think, to take the fall? What's going on here? Man, sometimes all of this feels like a big sigh up. Like they all got into a room. and they said, hey, let's do some wrestling around this Iran situation. And the reason I say that is because, yo, until you hear what Israel has to say, it does not matter. And that's just the truth to matter. Like, America is not in control of this situation, and I don't feel like they ever have been.

Like, whenever they do come to some type of peace agreement, Israel comes and says, no, that's not what we want. Yeah, but Trump keeps telling us that Netanyahu does exactly what he wants. Nah, it don't seem like that. It seems like, you know, it seems like Trump is Netanyahu's puppet. So, you know, the conversation should be Israel, Iran, and America. And until Israel and Iran come to an agreement, I don't think that there's going to be an agreement. Awesome. I love listening, you guys.

It's so much fun. It's kind of like must-watch TV radio for a Democratic candidate. Bandukaro. Says the View welcomes anti-Semitism with open arms. The View refuses to pushback when Shalameen to God suggest the Jews controlled Trump in America. When did I say that? I'll give you a little pushback. Okay.

Here's the pushback. Okay. I don't think Israel's completely in control or manipulating Trump 100%. I think a lot of the inability to get a deal done, to make sense of this war of the situation, is also just due to ineptness on Trump's part. I can say... And inexperience on his negotiator's part and not having a solid plan and surrounding himself with yes men who won't step up and say like, this is a bad fucking idea.

But let's not be prisoners in a moment, Chris. Why are we in this war to begin? Because the Israeli, I'm going to be very specific in how I say it, the Israeli government, specifically BB, because I can't pronounce his last name. Netanyahu. Netanyahu, maybe. BB, and if you believe former presidents, which I tend to, because they're coming from both sides of the aisle, they all have said now, hey, he asked us for the same thing.

We said no. but in this case he went to Trump with the same request, which is let us take off the gloves and take out Iran once and for all. I'm using air quotes because we've heard this before. And Trump's the first one who said yes and went along with it. Now, why did he say yes? Part of it is...

Can I, can I, can I put... Can I talk about some things that you may notice? Yes, sure. Every time something moves a little bit more forward with that situation, all of a sudden, here goes the deal. with a little bit more of the Epstein files. Just look at the pattern.

Every single time there is, hey, this from the Epstein files is coming out. This from the Fstein files is coming out. Just a little bit further. Just a little bit further. Whenever it seems like he's about to push back against the E-Rown situation. That's not fair, man. Why not? He knew Epstein was a bad guy.

Yes, they were best friends for over a decade. But he knew he was a bad guy. And he cut him off. He never spoke to him again. He said he's a bad guy. At some point he did. You can't, you can't. Just because you're best friends with somebody for 10 years who courts rich, famous men who have a soft spot for young women.

Just because you hang out with that guy and he's your best friend for 10 years. Come on. This is... All I'm saying is just notice the pattern. Whenever it goes a little further or when there's there's, there's, there's, there's, Either it's talks a piece. Yes. And then some Epstein comes out.

And then it's some escalation. Did something come out this week? Yo, we forgot. I can't keep track of this. I know you can't keep track. Hold on. It was two things that came out right before they were supposed to be a peace agreement. Well, one came out before and then one came out right after.

Hold on. Let me pull it up. But what's there a New York Times report that? That's the one. When Beebe went into the White House or something. situation room, whatever it was, and then convinced them. But they basically lied saying that, oh, we can topple their government and have regime change in, like, less than...

Well, that's what... June 10th, 20, 26. Remember, inside the White House freak out over the Epstein file? Right. This was the week when they first started talking about, I think, the peace treaty, because when was the UFC fight? And that, I believe, is an excerpt from the book that I'm reading. I believe it's actually from regime change.

And they remember he had the fight and he was saying, because he was trying to have some type of announcement or deal done. Right. This is how basic this dude is. When the Roman Empire was collapsing, they instituted a system called bread and circus, which is whenever shit gets really bad,

you hand out free bread and you have a free circus to distract people from what's really going on. Literally, that's what they called it, bread and circus. The UFC fight was the circus. They haven't handed out the bread yet, but that was the fucking literally the circus like we're going to build a circus right here on the fucking lawn of the white house to distract you from that now you know what's interesting and i haven't gone to this part of the book yet is trump's line of thinking they say they report

is we can't release it because it'll hurt my friends right i believe that's the quote in the article yes and didn't pan bond you say the same thing yeah yeah so you would think the president United States seeing how much division this is causing. Who are his friends that are more important than the nation, essentially? I don't know. I literally don't know. I'm not trying to like. Oh, Pam Bondy said that if the Epstein files would ever come out, the society as we know it would collect or something to that effect.

Who could possibly be in the Epstein files that would shock you so much, that would shake your sense of this country, right? Nobody. There's nobody. There's not one person that they could name in the FD FD files. Like, I'm talking about legitimately naming the FDFiles doing some dirt that would shock me. Mr. Rogers is dead. That'd be the only one. Mr. Rogers?

Yeah. He's like the pure, you know, who's like a, if Obama was in it, I'd be like, all right. There's a lot of people we could. I'd be like, all right. I don't know, though. I don't think that would shock me. Michelle Obama, like, there's a lot of people. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, here's the thing. The only reason. Shock? I'll tell you why I wouldn't shock me. I'll tell you why it wouldn't shock me. What if Beyonce was in there? Why do we always got to go to black celebrities? I'm pointing out people.

I'm pointing out people you would be shot by it. But this is what I was stressing to y'all last week. These people are not the Illuminati. The people like, when you're talking about politicians and remember that it was that article that came out where they said it was six people named in the F-Steen files, remember those names just went away, six people that folks never heard of? Oh, yeah, yeah. Those are the people that's running the world, guys.

Who's the most beloved white man in America right now? The most beloved white man in America right now. Probably Shalame. Who? Timothy Shalame. He's too young. I mean, see, none of those people are celebrities, people like politicians, won't surprise me. Because in my mind, I'll be like, dang, that's how they had to get where they needed to go.

Not the Pope, especially the politicians. The Pope would be a shocker. No, wouldn't. They got his history of that. I guess you're right. I can't think it. Yeah, that wouldn't be a shock. There's nobody.

Sorry, Catholic's. What could shock you in 2020? That's pro-Catholic if I would be shocked. Oh, yeah. Nothing shocks me anymore. Nothing. Right. I think I'm too jaded to be shocked.

I saw a Disclosure Day last week. And I was just like, they got us a fucking get. It's another Sayab movie, right? Telling us exactly what's going on in the world. And we're still watching this shit like it's fucking fiction. In Disclosure Day by Steven Spielberg, which I thought was a great movie, by the way. They literally show you every

extraterrestrial conspiracy theory that you've ever heard. They show you Roswell. It's a movie or a documentary. It's a movie. It's a movie. They show you Roswell. They show you Richard Nixon when he took Jackie Gleason

to go visit the fucking aliens. Yo. So I've always heard the story about Richard Nixon and how he met with aliens and he would show his celebrity friends aliens, right? Not all his celebrity friends, but I just, I remember seeing the story. And there's a part in the movie where they're, with a woman,

the guy is showing the woman the tapes. She's like, is that Richard Nixon? And he's like, yeah. And he's like, she's like, who's the guy with him? And he goes, oh, just some celebrity he was trying to impress. So as soon as I get home, you know what I mean? I'm Googled. I'm like, what the fuck?

I'm like Richard Nixon celebrity. First thing that comes up. Jackie Gleason. Jackie Gleason. Jackie fucking Gle. And the guy in the movie looks like Jackie Loonooners. The honeymooners. And it's a story of how.

how Richard Nixon drove to Jackie Gleason's house in the middle of the night by himself. No secret service, no nothing. Jackie was a big UFO guy. Told Jackie, he said, hey, ride with me. I want to show you something. Takes Jackie to some base and shows Jackie all of the extraterrestrial bodies.

There you go. Jackie comes home, tells his wife. His wife is the one that tells the story all these years later. But they show you that video of him showing Jackie Gleason in the movie. And that's funny. He was always threatening to send his wife to the moon.

You see what the fuck I'm saying? You see what the fuck I'm saying? They show you the Roswell Crass. They show you the crash that happened in Pennsylvania. They show you crashes that you've actually read about and heard about. And they're just, they finally decide to disclose it, disclose it to the world. The shit is ill, man. I'm saying all that to say, nothing will surprise me because they've showed us everything already.

We just don't realize that we've been shown it. And then when we finally look and be like, oh, shit, I remember that from that TV show. Oh, I remember that from that movie. or, oh, man, I thought that was just a conspiracy theory. No, they're telling you all the quiet parts out loud and we're doing like this. And we'd rather talk about fucking target deals and stupid shit.

It's too much going on, man. It is a lot going on. Let's do some asking idiots tell us so we can go to Jay-Z pop-up shop so I can use my employee discount. God damn it. I put in a lot of work this week. Huh?

Oh, yeah, play the 50-cent clip. I heard Jay-Z's going to give you a chain. I don't want no chain. I ain't know bad here, bro. You can't be chaining. No, I'm lying. I'll take a Rockefeller chain. I'm lying like a motherfucker.

I'll take that chain and wear it with so much product. I'll be at the Jay-Z concert at Yankee Stadium with that Rockefeller chain on telling everybody, this is real. I got it from Hov himself. Are you crazy? Are you...

Oh, so what's this clip? See? Oh, yeah, you got to play it. Who is Al-Haman and Leonard? Al-Hamon and Leonard Hellerby. Al-Hamon is a boxing promoter. Leonard Ellaby is a boxing promoter as well, but I think both of them used to manage Floyd Mayweather.

They used to work together. And Al-Haman and Leonard Ellaby are saying they will bury Floyd's little ass for saying he owns PBC. 50 cent put everybody flip on you. What does it say, Taylor? Everybody flip on you when you what? Everybody flip on you when you popped. First play.

I just heard them say that they're going to bury his little ass for saying he owns PBC I'm just playing this because boy people are always plotting against you. Don't ever think that when you're in a position, when you're in a position of power or just in a position where you achieve

some type of success in your life, every single day, there's a motherfucker getting on the phone trying to figure out how to take you the fuck out. Straight up. I don't give a fuck. I don't care if it's boxing, radio, music, politics.

Every single day there is somebody trying to take you to fuck out. That's why you just got a man. Stay prayed up. You know, keep divine protection around you. and just keep it moving. And don't make an enemy like 50 cents. And don't, you're cancel.

You're just a peg. Or Shaabay. Yeah, I was going to say, Floyd's like his George win, basically. No, it's not. I don't want nobody to think that. I don't have, no. He loves Floyd.

No, here's the thing. He does. I have a, no, all I did was, like I said, everybody know, I gave academics some information. And then for whatever reason, they decided to attack me for me. Now y'all got way big a fish to fry, which I told you the fish was coming.

It was a whole fucking truckload of fish coming. I told you that shit. I just want to know how I became the issue. And don't even worry about me though. Fuck me. Talk about this crypto shit. Hey, hey. Taylor said, do I think Drake's behind it?

I have no idea. I don't care about that shit. Because they try to make it about Drake, too. Like, it's like, oh, my God, people are so jealous of Drake. I don't know. I don't give a fuck. I called you in private to tell you about what your man. allegedly said about you and Drake.

You could have did with that, you could have did whatever you want with that information. But for whatever reason, you and your guys decided to attack me. Okay, say your theory. Because the little chatty patty's as well, right? Hold on. Talk about what you say?

The little chatty patties. Okay. So I feel like when you called at, I feel like I was hyped to call Drake. I'm like, yo, guess who called me, blah, blah, blah, blah. And if Drake is as petty, as I think he is with that whole

Canticle Lamar thing and how you were bringing him up. He was like, oh, let's try to turn to, like, spin the story or whatever. I'm just saying, like, I wouldn't be surprised if he's taking that way. That's the difference between me and y'all. I really don't give a fuck.

I keep telling y'all this over and over. I go to therapy to try to feel something. Okay? I don't give a fuck. I need y'all to understand. Leave Charlottable alone. I don't care. I don't give a fuck, guys.

I don't get a fuck either anymore. I don't know what happened. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I really don't give a fuck anymore. My life is great.

I don't care. I still give a fuck. My life's all right, but I still don't go. My life is great. By the way, everybody's life is great. Everybody's doing very well unless, of course, you're doing something you ain't got no business now. Then when you're going to something, you ain't got to, when you're doing something you ain't got no business doing, then you always got to look behind you back and watch you back and shit like that.

And you don't want people mentioning you next to crypto. George. I think this is Trump's fault, to be honest with you. Why y'all don't clip this shit? Clip every, clip up. me reading them articles, go to the Wall Street Journal, pull them articles up, go to inverse wire.com, pull that article up, pull up that shit. Okay, clip that. Click that. Click George being served. Go to Chick-Smove page. Clip Chick-Smove talking about it.

Click everybody that's talking about this stuff and post that. There's a reason y'all ain't spreading that narrative. Why? Why? Something. Debunk it. Tell me something, guys. Tell me the Wall Street journal full of shit. Tell me inverse wide.com full of shit. Okay, let's do some asking idiots. Pray for everybody, bad. Let's do two or three asking idiots and then we can get up out of here. Somebody said, scroll up.

Who's this guy? Who's this from? Amin underscore 1018 says, do you think this amazing World Cup is distracting us from shit the government is doing? No, we're distracting us from shit. Bread and circus. That World Cup ain't nothing to do it. We got. We got much bread on social media? Social media is all full of bread.

Charlie Marxiano says, do you believe in free will? Why, why not? Absolutely. 100% believe in free will. Everybody makes choices, man. Taylor, why are you speeding so much? I know. Oh, yes, I believe in free will because we all have the ability to make choice.

I don't know if I believe everything is pretty. predestined, maybe. You know, I think that you can still get to where it is God wants you to be. You know, you're just making a few detours along the way. But even those detours you make help you to get to your ultimate direction. So, yeah, I absolutely 100% believe in free will. I don't believe that anybody is controlling us to do anything except for us. I think that we don't listen to ourselves enough, though.

I think that there's so much noise nowadays, especially with social media, especially with so many opinions about, you know, you or what it is that you're doing, that a lot of that noise infiltrates our minds and causes us to do things that we... To react. To react.

Like, it's not our will at all. Like, we're just trying to... Man, it was a phrase I looked up earlier. I heard it when I was reading... Oh, edit your behavior. I think we edit our behavior. to the noise around us, as opposed to just listening to the voices in our head, the voice in our head, which is God, salute the two chains,

listening to that voice and that voice guiding us the way that we need to go. I really think a lot of people edit their behavior to the voices around them. Like, there's people right now that will be on screen, watching what their followers say, are looking at their comments, and they'll say to themselves, hey, I got to do what my followers told me to do. I got to do what my followers told me to say. You know?

Most of whom aren't even people. Most of whom aren't even people. So yes, a lot of people edit their behavior to, they edit their behavior to the comments and to what other people think. Let's do one more, Taylor, and then we got to go out here and use my employee discount at the Rock Nation reasonable doubt pop-up.

Oh, my God, Nino Blue. Salute to Nino Blue. Nino Blue said, what is something you want to achieve in your lifetime that you haven't yet already? I have a couple of things, right? But to be completely honest, man, I am perfectly okay with everything I've already achieved thus far. God has blessed me tremendously. Tremendously. Everything else I'm currently doing right now is gravy.

And I don't really have, I have a couple of, you know, personal goals for the future that I will do. But I like seeing everybody else in position. I like being in a position to help other people get in position. That's what, that's what, like, is the ultimate thing for me right now. So when you say what is something you want to achieve in your lifetime that you haven't yet already, God can just continue to amplify the territory I currently occupy and I'll be perfectly fine. And when I say amplify the territory I currently occupy,

I mean being in a position to continue to put more money in people's pockets, to continue to provide opportunity for other people. that's what I want to continue to do. So I'm already doing it. So if God continues to bless me with more of that, hey, great. That's it. We good?

Yeah. All right, everybody. We see y'all in 10 days. We will not be here next week. Andrew's shooting the movie. And I will be on vacation, mine and my business. All right. So until next time, if you think we're smart,

you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant. You're absolutely right. But if you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit, you're right, too. It's a brilliant idiot's podcast.
