The Brilliant Idiots - Cold War

Episode Date: November 7, 2025

This week on Brilliant idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz dive into the  New York mayoral election, the rise of Zoran Mamdani, and what politics looks like when the internet and real-life... stress (like rent and $12 eggs) collide. We’re talking identity politics, affordability, NYPD beef, ICE, socialism vs. capitalism, Trump-game strategy, and whether “being in the club” disqualifies you from public office. Plus, Curtis Sliwa ghosting podcasts, politicians ducking platforms, and the art of winning just by being relatable. It’s jokes, heated debates, wild analogies, and some painfully honest NYC reality checks. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠ 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 No Holes Barred -Mandi B & Weezy WTF ⁠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 Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Yep, Shalameenegu al-A-Qa-Qa-A-Qa-A-Salam Al-A-Qa-Qa-A-Sala-A-A-Coz-A-Solama-Ci in the building. We ought to bring in this podcast. Hesekiah Walker. Yo, man. Asalama Andy. Osalama Andy's in the building. Did you vote yesterday? I don't vote in New York.
Starting point is 00:00:18 I vote in Jersey. Did you vote yesterday? I voted in Jersey, too. Shut the fuck up. I vote in Jersey, man. Shout out to my boy Citarellas. Did you vote for an Andrew? No, I didn't vote.
Starting point is 00:00:30 I didn't vote. You lied to me, too. You told me New Yorkers don't vote. New Yorkers voted the fuck out of it yesterday. Not the New Yorkers. Shit, like two million people voted yesterday. I think more. Nah, it's the people that moved here.
Starting point is 00:00:42 We need to start defining what is a New Yorker. That's another thing. Like, a New Yorker is you're born and raised in New York. That's the only way you could be a New Yorker. If you moved to New York, you're not a New Yorker. And if you're a New Yorker and you move... Are you letting out of towners decide your elections? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Now we know what the fuck is happening. Isn't that's what the Democrats been doing for the last? You let everybody in. They was like, you know what? They got the Mexicans, let's get the Muslim. Yes. Oh my God. And it's Muslims.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Muslims is hilarious. Muslims? Wow. Why is it? Huh? Muslim. Muslim. If you start milking them, you call Muslims.
Starting point is 00:01:19 No, it is. It's pretty much. Yo. Hey, shout out the caliphate, bro. It's expanding. They doing their goddamn thing. That's not going to work. That's not going to work.
Starting point is 00:01:27 What? What? That's not going to work. You're not picking up where you left off. It's not going to work. That's not going to work. Why is that I was dressed like a communist and you're not saying anything about it? Not because that's my comrade.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Out to the people, man. Yo. All right. Well, ICE know who to pick up. Okay. Hey, listen. Come January, I don't know who to pick up. Ice is pretty, bro.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Ice is ready. But you know what? They're not welcome in this city. They not? Nope. They not. What city are they welcome in? I don't think they give a fuck about welcoming this.
Starting point is 00:02:02 I don't think they give a fuck about welcoming, okay? Listen, congratulations to Zoran Mundani. Amen. The best campaign should always win. He ran a great campaign in a very weak field. We got to call it like it is. It was a very weak field. Curtis Sewell is a good guy.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Generational talent was in that field. You had a rapist. You had not a rapist. What did he do? Italian. You had an Italian. Italian guy. Sorry, you had an Italian.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I like Sewell, though. Slewa. Leewell. Can I like Slewell as a person? Can I give you a hot take on Slewa? Because I love Slewa. Talk to me. Talk to me. You connected us with Slewa's guy.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Okay? This is all like allegedly's or whatever, so y'all don't. No, it's not allegedly. He said, fuck doing flagrant because y'all endorse Mundani. We did not endorse Moundani. At all, we did not endorse.
Starting point is 00:02:53 First of all, we never endorsed a candidate ever once. We just give you the platform to come on. Because my idea was to have all of them on. same episode. I want to put them on the same episode. Anyway, Slewa, a guy just kept ducking. And I'm reaching out. We're the biggest platform
Starting point is 00:03:11 like on podcast. Like not, you know, Curtis got shot by the mob, bro. He's not ducking a podcast. This is, this is, and again, this is all Leggeles, okay? I'm wondering if it never got to Curtis. And I'm wondering if his campaign manager is getting paid off because he's like, Hey, don't put him on some heat right now. You can save face by continuing to campaign and pretend,
Starting point is 00:03:34 but don't put them on some platforms that actually make a difference on Cuomo. We know you're not going to back out, but we're going to kick you a little bread and just say no to a bunch of interviews. Tell them it's not worth it and you're going to ride the momentum, blah, blah, blah. Because why on earth, if you were actually trying to win, would you not come on the biggest pod in the city? Why would you not do that?
Starting point is 00:03:54 I did think it was weird when... Wouldn't even answer. And he reads the text. It says, where that? I'm calling, but you're ducking. So either he's, either Curtis doesn't want to win or this guy is not even telling him about the opportunities because either he doesn't want him
Starting point is 00:04:13 to win or he's getting paid off. I guess you're all legendlies or whatever the fuck that is. The way he ended up on Breakfast Club was he was downstairs eating. Like Curtis was actually downstairs eating. And somebody goes, yo, isn't breakfast club here? and one of our security guards was downstairs and was like, you know, yeah, I might know a guy. You know, he's, I might know a guy.
Starting point is 00:04:35 And so that's how they connected with him. And he was like, would y'all like to have Curtis? And I'm like, yeah. Why on earth would you not want to come on one of the biggest platforms in the country? I'm going to read the message. Definitely in the city. Why would you not want to do that
Starting point is 00:04:48 if you're trying to win mayor of New York City? Why would you not even read the text message and not even respond? It's suspicious. I'm going to read the message. It's saying, Oh, no, actually they had called me. I'm bugging.
Starting point is 00:05:00 They had called me and said that. But that's what they said. They do, this is like... To me, that sounds like an excuse. They said he was glazing mundani. Yeah. That's what they said. They said he endorsed Mondonis.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Well, they said the black guy was glazing Mondani, but everybody else endorsed Mondani. Nobody endorsed Mondani. This is really the problem of flagrant is that whoever comes on looks amazing. Like that is... They look amazing. I think that's what people don't realize.
Starting point is 00:05:26 realize about a show like flagrant, it's just a good hang. It is, that we literally, with a great thing. And we live in an era where people think it has to be conflict in order for it to be good when the reality is a good hang, just sitting down talking to a conversation. Sometimes it's better. It's always better. I learned that a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Yes, you can get the confrontation and, you know, everybody will tune in for the view. It's actually better when you sit down with somebody and have a conversation. Look at it like an interrogation. If I'm talking to you in an interrogation, I got to get some answers. Got to get some answers. A good interrogation. You got to get them a little way.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Wednesday. Get some food. There you go. Like therapy. Like, yo, that's how you get something out of the program. So, you know, I mean, Cuomo did that. Cuomo rescheduled Breakfast Club four times and never came. So that's the other thing.
Starting point is 00:06:07 We offered Cuomo to come in the same day, but we hit him back like the day before. And then he was like, I'm doing debate prep. And I'm like, that's your choice. You're doing debate prep. But the offer was out to everybody. He rescheduled with us four times. I mean, even up until this month, Monday, this past Monday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:24 So I'm like. Now, they did reach out to come back. on and it wasn't available for us. But like, and I understand you want to prep for the debate. That's your prerogative, whatever. But that is a choice that you're going to make. Yo, Zoron pulled up. Same day, Zoh.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Zoron pulled up. You can't. Zoron Rovemold. Pulled up. Now we're Muslim. Now we're Muslim. Curtis pulled up the breakfast club. Chris, you got to start paying.
Starting point is 00:06:44 You got to start paying your jizzea. Yo, hey, ho, ho, we forgetting one other can. Eric Adams pulled up the breakfast club. We pulled up the flagrant. Every candidate except for Cuomo pulled up. You know what I mean? Curtis didn't pull up the flagrant. You can't be president of America or mayor of New York City without coming to flagrant of the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Especially in New York. I'm just saying. We're the number one morning show in New York City. I'm not saying this because it's a feeling. I'm saying this because it's a flax. It's the cool ratings. Their feelings and then they're facts. You want to hear the numbers?
Starting point is 00:07:15 I'll tell me the numbers. Hold on. Hold on. This just came out yesterday, bro. Hold on. What is that called jizziah, right? I want that jizziah. I might want it from you, too.
Starting point is 00:07:25 unless you're reverting. What the fuck? You all got to pay tax. If you're not Muslim, you got paid taxes. You almost got me. You got to pay the non-Muslim tax. I mean, he did get you.
Starting point is 00:07:34 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no he almost got me. But that's a real thing? Got a text and said, clean, sweet. Congratulations to Breakfast Club being number one 18 to 49, number one 25 to 54 and number one 1834 in the month of October. So it's like, yo, how dare you,
Starting point is 00:07:49 you should have been there. Just on. I try to tell these politicians, bro. I told, I told the Asian guy, want to give everybody a thousand dollars. If you want to be married, you gotta come on. Andrew Yang, Yang Gang, Sluutton Noble, oh, that shit is real.
Starting point is 00:08:02 The tax on non-Muslims is called Jizya. Yeah, we're taxing all, y'all. It was a story. You're getting taxed. You wear the what's a guy on your neck, so you don't gotta get taxed. You got the Honorable Elijah Muhammad on bouncing off your chest every day,
Starting point is 00:08:17 so you don't gotta pay tax for that. But Chris, Chris getting double taxed. It says elderly and sicker example. You're not sick. You're sick. We don't believe in Lyme disease in Islam, my boy. Yo, somebody said the funniest shit last week.
Starting point is 00:08:31 They was like Chris acting like he's going to intervene with ICE, so they pull up on scooters. They were like, ice pull up on scooters. Chris getting the fuck out there. And the cherry red 150. It was historically levied on non-Muslim subjects living in a state governed by Islamic law in exchange for protection and exemption from military service. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:08:51 You pay some tax. You don't got to bang out for war. You get protected. and Muslims, I think they gotta pay like 10%. That's just the mob. Where'd you watch? But like, Muslims got to pay more, and they gotta go to war. Jizia sounds crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Jizia is just nothing on you. Like. Jizia. I'm a Jizia. Damn. I'm a jizia. Where'd you watch the election? From Zoran's crib. Were you in a club?
Starting point is 00:09:14 I was in Zoran's crib. I wanted the record to show y'all gave Eric Adams shit for being in the club. Zoron got one mixed night and y'all was glazed in the box. Who glazed them? No, no, no. That almost lost. Adams went to the club too much. Why?
Starting point is 00:09:27 You're connecting with the people. You know, you can't. You can't go to zero bond now? Can we can't go to zero bond now? Can we admit our biases which people we like? No, no, no, talk your shit. Can we just admit it? Wait, but when we like you know.
Starting point is 00:09:39 If Kamala Harris would have been in the club, like Zoron, the day before an election, y'all would have been killing her. Killing her. Nah. Yes, you would have. You would have been killing her. You fucking communist? It's the place that he went to.
Starting point is 00:09:53 It's the way to people. He went to like eight different clubs. Yeah, but like the clubs he went to are popping spots. So it's like he- So Kamala went to those popping spots? You think Eric Adel didn't go to the popping spots? He went to the pot of spots too much. Nah, no, no, no. That was the problem.
Starting point is 00:10:05 He was out there too much. If Kamala would have went to the club the day before the election, y'all would have killed her. You would have killed her. If she went on Flagrant, then we thought she would have been good. Yo, yo, yo, yo, you see how the glaze works. Crisp cream is crazy. It is, it is. It is crispy cream.
Starting point is 00:10:21 You are crispy cream in them, dude. It's crazy. Can't you just, listen, just fall back for a second and just be an honorable man of God in Islam and communism? Just be an honorable man of God Islamic communism. We're New Yorkers. You're still a New Yorker. You're still a New Yorker. I will say, I think Iran ran a great campaign. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:42 It is hilarious to me, and I said this on CNN last night. They almost said comrades. You saw that you almost said comrade. No, Democrats are acting like this is such a revolutionary campaign and, oh my God, he's just a The future. I guess shit. Because he talked about affordability, which Bill Clinton did in the 90s, because he used social media and because he galvanized the youth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:06 The basics? Democrats, y'all are so out of touch that the basics? Yes, the basics work, y'all. The basics work. Charlie, hold on. You need to be careful. The basics work. Don't run 70-plus-year-old candidates who don't know what social media is.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Hold on. And you'll galvanize the youth. They'll know how to use social media and talk about people's dinner table needs. It's not hard. You're making me a little bit nervous here because you're criticizing the Democrat Party and probably two years from now
Starting point is 00:11:34 people will say the exact fucking same thing that you're saying right now on this podcast and they'll call them heroes for doing it but they're going to call you a monster right now. So you just got to realize that if you say it first, you're the first one on the beach. It gets Republicans smoke.
Starting point is 00:11:49 You got a balancing. Y'all calling Mondani a socialist and a communist when he ran the same type of campaign Trump ran. Okay? It was America first with New York City first. Spread that. It was about affordability.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Spread that. I'm going to keep money in your pockets and I'm going to keep you all safe. Spit on it and spread it. You didn't call Trump a communist, socialist. Spit on it and spread it. Why are you calling Mondania stock communist socialist
Starting point is 00:12:12 when he does it? Hey, noble concept here, guys. Wow. Just talk about what people are going to. Listen, you were on fire right there. I just had to open the pussy and spin it on it just so that Fox News didn't use it as a clip. So every time you spin hot fire, I'm just going to act crazy.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I'm going to bust it open, glazed up, so that they can't use it as a clip. Because we got too much common sense on this phone, you know. What if Zoduro would have came out with the Maca hat yesterday, y'all? Make America communist again. We was never communist. It don't matter. We were never great either, but who gives a far? Who means it?
Starting point is 00:12:50 We were never great. What do you mean we were not? We weren't great for everybody. We try to get there and it's okay. Oh, boo-hoo. Oh, boo-hoo. You make a country. You make a country.
Starting point is 00:13:06 You're going to make it perfect immediately, or is he going to take a little bit? You know what I mean? Go make your own country, bro. Ron Mundani is your new fucking mayor. All he did was run on the basics, bro. Bro. Stop complicating shit. Let's just call it what it is.
Starting point is 00:13:23 If you're the mayor of New York, you're the mayor of America. No other place really has a mayor that matters. Well, I'm going to tell you who's about to. So you're the mayor of Jersey, you're the mayor of Philadelphia, you're the mayor of these places. You can be a mayor of town. But I'm going to tell you something. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:13:37 You know who's about to take that talking point that you just said and run with it? Donald J. Trump. You're welcome. Okay. Your welcome. Your welcome is public enemy number one for the next year? I think Trump should glaze me. Really?
Starting point is 00:13:52 That's that if you want to subvert the whole shit Glaze them, don't fight against them. Like Trump, like that's why I like the people Again, this is, by the way, once again, this is something that Brewerinianinianian has been saying for a long time. That Mondani has been running like Trump, right? Right?
Starting point is 00:14:06 And we said it since when he, remember what was the debate? When they asked them about Israel and he was like, no New York. And I'm like, that's Trump messaging. America first. That shit works. Would you visit Israel as mayor? I've said in a UJA questionnaire that I believe that you need not travel to Israel to stand up for Jewish New Yorkers.
Starting point is 00:14:26 And that is what I will be doing as the mayor. I'll be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers and I'll be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs, whether that's in their synagogues and temples or at their homes or at the subway platform. Because ultimately we need to focus on delivering on their concerns. And just yes or no, do you believe in a Jewish state of Israel? I believe Israel has the right to exist. You do that along with the affordability. You start to rob people to fuck up.
Starting point is 00:14:49 And I forgot my point, so it don't even matter. I remember what the fuck I was trying to say. I'll pick it back up. No, why it was, I was saying Trump should glaze him. Yeah. Yeah, go. The reason that won't work is because then Trump will have to admit that he got some socialist tendencies. But keep going, because I...
Starting point is 00:15:08 I mean, that's it. Like, you would have to admit. Because, yes, it is. Affordability. America first. That's what Trump ran on. Your groceries are two motherfucking high. I'm going to put more money in your pocket.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Why are you having to pay so much for you? it is. Why are you having to pay so much for that? That shit, he's not going to, he's not going to say yes when Donnie took my playbook, because then it's like, so are you? What I'm saying, he don't, he don't got to say it, but like, I think Trump has, I think the misunderstanding about Trump is that he is, what is it, socially conservative and then fiscally liberal. A lot of times people think it's the opposite. Right? People, what do they say about Republicans? They are, I guess, socially conservative and physically conservative. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Right? Fiscally liberal would be big government. He's not big government. He is in terms of subsidies. The Trump checks is big government. Exactly. He's given out the Trump checks. He is in terms of, oh yeah, you know what,
Starting point is 00:16:02 IVF drugs, we're going to do 85% off. He is in terms of like taking care of farmers or whatever it is. He is totally about government being expanded. I mean, he's expanding government for ICE, right? He's expanding government. So it's like he's not necessarily against it. there are those same tendencies because he understands
Starting point is 00:16:19 he has to take care of the base, right? But maybe so maybe you're right. It would expose it. Yo, Madani leaned into his base in a way that we didn't think progressives on the left could. But I do want to say one thing. I think that everybody is celebrating a little bit
Starting point is 00:16:34 just too much. Can I, before we go there, can I just say one thing? I would, the reason why I would allow it if I was Trump, right? Everybody's going like, New York is going to be a hellhole,
Starting point is 00:16:46 it's going to fall apart, it's this, whatever. If I'm Trump, I wouldn't give Maldani an excuse as to why it's not working. If you're so confident that it won't work. No government outreach. Don't remove. Don't remove funds. Be like, all right, man, if you believe you got it,
Starting point is 00:17:04 let's see. And then if it doesn't, then he goes, will you admit that it didn't work or will your ego get ahead of you? Because I asked him that on the pod. I was like, if your programs are not working and the people in New York are being hurt, will your ego be involved or will you be able to change it?
Starting point is 00:17:19 He said, I'll change. So that's what I would do. But if you pull the funds, you know he can't. But here's the thing, if you pull the funds, Mom Donnie actually doesn't have to do shit. He just goes, oh, they took away all of our funds. That's right. And then he'll get re-election.
Starting point is 00:17:30 The smartest thing Trump could do is no government over. No government over. Because you know who, you know who Madani's biggest hurdle is going to be Albany. So let him in Albany fight it out all the time. Let him and Governor Kathy Hockel fight it out all the time. You stay the fuck out of it. Because here's the thing, he got to play nice with Albany. If Trump does the overreach, he has a boogeyman that he could play to his people to pacify his people for things not getting done.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Wait for it, wait for it. But if Trump doesn't do anything in terms of stopping, he'll have no boogeyman and he'll have to make Albany the boogeyman. But if he wants to get anything done, he can't boogeyman Albany. So now he's kind of in this frozen situation. The only way Trump's boogeyman tactic works is if he lets. Mundani govern and things don't work. If things don't work, now you can say this is what they want to turn America to.
Starting point is 00:18:23 They want to turn America to a socialist, communist, communist country. Look what they've done in New York. New York is a shithole now. Blah, blah, blah, this and that. The smartest thing he could do is get out the way and let Mundani try to do his job. I think that's too big a risk because what happens if he gets out the way and then Mundani gets stuff passed and it actually helps out
Starting point is 00:18:40 and makes the city better. It don't matter. That's the worst thing. You know what it don't matter? Go, go, go. Because you can't vote out authoritarian rule. You can't vote out fascism. That's the other thing that's bugging me out. We're saying that he's a fascist.
Starting point is 00:18:53 We're saying he's an authoritarian. But we're acting like he's just going to concede power in 2020. Okay. Like he's just going to concede power in 2020. No, no, no. But I mean, but like, say if Mondani does a good job, then Democrats are probably going to get behind his style of leading. And then Republicans are going to do something else to start flipping elections.
Starting point is 00:19:13 He's already having that conversation. Okay, okay, okay. Now, okay, now we're getting into a whole other thing. What, what podcasting? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm down to do it. I just, to Alex's point, what, what Alex is worried about is that if Mamdani's policies work, it would potentially make Trump look bad, like, meaning like, but my feeling is if his policies work, meaning the people of New York are living better lives, they have more opportunity, they have more food in their plates, they have a better chance to make it in the city, that's, that's a better chance to make it in the city, that's, that's a better. That's awesome. And if New York is better because of it, Trump gets to go, I didn't get in the way at all. I love that city.
Starting point is 00:19:52 And if that's the thing that helps New York, then that's great. And you know what? We also have had these programs that are helping people over here. So he's not doing something novel. We're also leaning into helping. He's New York first. We're America first. He can own what Mondani's doing in terms of the movement.
Starting point is 00:20:09 By the way, we talk about Trump. By the way, what Mondani is doing? He has too much ego. We have to also say there's a lot of what Mundani is doing that is very unique to New York City. The thing that's not unique to New York City is just the affordability aspect. That shit will work anywhere. But a lot of other things that he's talking about, a lot of other things he's leaning into, are very unique to a city like New York.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Most of the country isn't super progressive left like a Mondani is, bro. I don't think that shit works down south. I don't think that shit works in the Midwest. Yeah, but even, like you said, the affordability, everybody can You gotta lean into that. But if things are bad, you blame who's in office right now. And so Republicans can't run on improving affordability if the guy who's in office is making shit work. You're right, but can I tell you all one thing?
Starting point is 00:20:56 I just want to say this, man. It don't matter how unpopular Donald Trump is, right? It don't matter if the things Donald Trump does not work. Donald Trump is in the White House now. We talk about Trump as if he's campaigning. He's in the White House now with control of every branch of government. Yesterday, this is just my personal opinion, the election we saw this week,
Starting point is 00:21:22 it is going to make them use every bit of power that they have now to get rid of every check and balance that's like. Why? That's what authoritarian regime do. But they were all democratic states. They were going to go this way anyway. There's no, like, shocks in these elections. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I personally don't think so, but I think it's the margins. That's how I felt when I first thought, I'm like, these are all Democratic states you should have went that way. But when you look at the margins, how wide it was. Like, we're looking at, like, the mayor race and the governor race.
Starting point is 00:21:49 They flipped 13 state-ledged slate. The House of Representatives flipped 13 state legislative seats in Virginia. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's the type of stuff I'm sure they're looking at. And they're like, hmm, let's speed up whatever we was going to do
Starting point is 00:22:01 any motherfucking way. Because they're already going down the path of fucking rigging the elections. Why do you think they voted on the prop 50 shit in California? Mm-hmm. To combat the, redistricting they did in Texas. I just think that the party
Starting point is 00:22:15 that has the most power probably still has the upper hand. So everybody just look alive. That's all I'm telling you. Don't celebrate too soon. I don't know. Am I bugging, Chris? No, I'm not celebrating. I mean,
Starting point is 00:22:31 I'm happy with the results. I voted for him. I mean, I was thinking from a strategic standpoint it's interesting. I mean, you know, he's a far left candidate. what thing didn't he talk about during the campaign? Trans? Yeah, he didn't talk about identity politics. Well, I was in it.
Starting point is 00:22:50 That I know of. And his speech? But he is, no, he is identity politics. He's a Muslim. But he doesn't have to talk about it. He didn't talk about trans. He didn't talk about gays. He talked about money.
Starting point is 00:23:00 He talked about money. That's why I loved his victory speech, though. His victory speech, he wrapped all that shit up in a bowl. He was like, I want to work with the police. He was like, shout out to the trans community. black women, Jewish people, Muslims. Like, he wrapped it all up in a boat. The poor, he was like, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:16 the women that can't afford, the people that can't afford groceries, he wrapped it up in a boat. I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses, Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties. I was like when Van Jones was saying
Starting point is 00:23:39 he thought it was divisive. I'm like, why? Because he decided to shit. shout out all New York. I'm going to be a mayor for all of y'all. I'm like, is it divisive because he called out the billionaires and the oligarchs and what he thinks is an authoritarian regime? Van took $100 million, bro.
Starting point is 00:23:56 He got, you know, he don't get to decide what he says no more. You know what I mean? He gets his talking points from daddy. You know, who gave you the $100 million? That's what Van thinks. That's the playbook, though. Listen, he's a burning. It's the economy dummy.
Starting point is 00:24:13 No, no, no. The economy's stupid. James Carvel, man. Yeah, but it's like, this is classic Bernie rhetoric. Like, Bernie don't want to talk about gays at all. Bernie's like, who gives a fuck of you're gay? He's like, who gives a fuck of your black? You don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:24:26 He's just like, this is a wealth gap, a wealth disparity. If we talk about money, it will affect everybody. Like, I don't hit him by no sod of me. He said it on the pod. He was like, he literally was like, who cares if you're gay? Are you a good person or you're a bad person? And it was refreshing because people are tired of the fucking identity politics. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Now, Mamdani is privileged in that he is identity politics already. Yeah. So whereas like a white guy's going to get asked it every two seconds. Right. A brown dude won't get asked it. It's implicit. Exactly. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:25:00 So it's a little, you know what I mean? It's like... The other thing I'd like to see him do is if I were him, I'd sit down with the NYPD. Immediately. Oh, yeah. Say, hey, man. I'm not saying I'm trying to replace him. you guys. I'm not trying to undercut you guys. I'm trying to support because crime is a real
Starting point is 00:25:20 issue. He said it in his victory speech though. Pull that up. I didn't see the Alex. Yeah. And he said he's not firing Tish. So the current, which is good. Send the message. He said, I want to work with police. He said, I want to create, and I'm paraphrasing, he wants to create these task force that work with police like, you know, when you respond to mental health crises or when they respond to homeless people like that shouldn't be an issue that the police got to deal with. I agree. No, no, he's saying all the right things. We just have to hope the police are going to be willing to work with him. And they will, they will work if they believe he has their back. It's that simple. But he has to convince them that he has their back. And he has to do that
Starting point is 00:25:58 for the people of New York. He's the people of New York rely on those police. Listen, I've been here since 2006. When the NYP, you don't give a fuck about you, they don't give him for the fight you. I remember when they turn their back on Bill and they're going to do. Bill de Blasio. They turned their back on Bill de Blasio. Crime went up. They were like, oh, remember after the whole defund the police shit? They're like, oh, y'all want us to fund it?
Starting point is 00:26:19 All right. The most thankless. Tinney yourselves. The most thankless fucking job. I agree. That we all 1,000 percent rely on every single day. Every second. Every second of every single day.
Starting point is 00:26:33 It is the most thankless. It is actually a real shame. I'm all. How little gratitude we have. for the New York police officers need to get more money in their pockets. More money. Like, you know, I'm not, you know, they always, if you have these bloated police budgets,
Starting point is 00:26:51 make sure that more money gets in their pockets. We talked about it on this podcast before. If you pay them a higher salary, then you'll probably get a higher quality of police officer. You're going to attract a better candidates. Yes. A lot of people, there's the thing, is like a lot of people, and I'm not trying to make this all about the transplants,
Starting point is 00:27:08 but the transplants played like a huge part of this election. You know what I mean. Okay. People who identify as New Yorkers. But they weren't born New Yorkers. They weren't born. Got you. That's a transfer.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Got you. Got you. Got you. Got you. But like they never, they were never in New York when the shit was really rowdy like that. You know? So I don't think they realized the role that New York City police officers have played in making New York City a safe place.
Starting point is 00:27:35 They came here when there's a fucking Apple store. So they feel safe walking around. They didn't come here. And literally, I'm in middle school, me and every single one of my friends got robbed for our North Face jackets within like a month. Literally, one by one, North Face jacket, back, back. Was it Fat Joe? Say again? Did Fat Joe lie?
Starting point is 00:27:52 Showed up to the lunchroom. The fat Joe robbed a whole your whole gym. He thought there was a whole hose of them back. So it was like, it was a different time. Like literally in middle school, the principal had to get on a loudspeaker and say, if anybody asks you the time on the street, do not tell them the time because they're really going to slice your face with a box. You know that somebody's back doing that in New York right now? You do know that, right? Oh, I saw the slasher, yes.
Starting point is 00:28:16 So like this is what we grew up with. Like my friends literally did you guys all know, gangs try to be like, listen, if you want to continue hanging out with us, you got to buck 50 somebody and then that is how, this is like, and we're in middle school. Don't book 50 somebody? Not at all. Circumcision they call. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Ah! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! hilarious. So what I'm saying is a different... Yeah, people moved to the sex in the city, New York.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Exactly. They moved there when this shit was sweet. And low-key, like, we were born in a time where it was already way better than the 70s. In the 70s, New York was insane. 80s, too. But that's what's so scary when you sit down with people who grew up here
Starting point is 00:28:58 and they were saying things, especially during COVID, like, yo, this shit reminds me of New York in the 80s. Cop saved this city. And you don't know it because you weren't here. But the police saved this fucking city. So it would be to everybody's benefit that he communicates to them, how important they are to making this an incredibly livable place. I'll add one more thing to that.
Starting point is 00:29:22 You want the NYPD on your side versus ICE because that's coming. If they fund the city with ICE, you want the NYPD to feel like it's defending New York, defending the people. NYPD going to get the fuck out the way of ice. Duran needs the NYPD on his side for his own personal scene. That's what I'm saying. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Like, literally. Like, for the city for every, like,
Starting point is 00:29:43 ICE is going to try to take over at some point. If Trump pushes the button, you're going to have. Which he shouldn't. He should not. But there could potentially be a true alien force in the city. You need the NYPD with New York, with the mayor, all that. To me, that's the first step. You've got to get on the same page.
Starting point is 00:30:01 I feel like, sorry, go, go. My thought process was a lot like Chris's. That's why I'm glad we're having this conversation, because I'm like, you know what, Andrew is right, the best thing Trump could do is not do government overreach. My mind was already going, it's going to be so much government overreach, military in the street, ice all over the motherfucking place, you know what I mean? But the smartest thing he could do is not do that.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Let Mundani attempt to govern. And if he falls on his face, then you can use that as a picture to paint for the rest of America until it midterm. And if he's successful, take credit for it. Just be like, yeah, he did all those things that we're already doing over here. He followed my blueprint to a key. Which is what Trump already does, right? If something works out, he goes, yeah, that's what we were doing. And if it doesn't work out, he's like, yeah, you guys fucked up.
Starting point is 00:30:44 This is your shit. So, yeah, I just, I think that, yeah, I think I, I think New York City just, he needs to make that connection. I think that would be really smart politics. Listen, I think Zoran ran a really good campaign, man. But, you know, it is something to talk about in regards to Democrats that he just did debate. Boss, the shit that Bill Clinton talked about in the 90s. these affordability and the shit Obama was doing in 08, social media and galvanizing the youth. Like, I'm trying to figure out how did they lose it after Obama? Like, like, like,
Starting point is 00:31:21 because, because, because they went back to establishment telling, telling people, hey, no, Hillary got to run. Here's the thing that people need to understand. The New York mayoral election is not Republicans versus Democrats. Is Democrats versus Democrats? Okay. Ooh. Mm-hmm. So the billionaire that live in New York are Democrats. Pause. So, so they're Democrats.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Those same Democrats, if they lived in Texas or Florida, would be Republicans. There's no way that they're fiscally Democrats. They just know the only way to say in the government, to have a say in the governance
Starting point is 00:32:03 of this city is to vote blue because it's going to be blue no matter what. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's not a real like indictment on the Democratic Party when this happens. Now, naturally the billionaire class or the powerful people, whatever, they want to maintain the status quo because the status quo is what makes them all their money. Unfortunately right now, the status quo is not working out for poor people. No.
Starting point is 00:32:30 It's not working out for middle class people. No. So poor middle class people, when they see a status quo candidate that has a last name like Cuomo or Clinton or any of these, legacy people, they start to go, oh, that's going to be more of the same. I can't have more of the same. So they're going to take a risk on an outsider like a Mamdani because sometimes having hope of change is more powerful or more beneficial than the guarantee of the same thing that you're suffering. I do want to know, because he was polling at 1% in February, I do want to know what exactly was the shift for a momdani? Yeah, that caused him to win a whole primary. I mean, a generation
Starting point is 00:33:09 unlikable candidate in Cuomo, like generationally unlike. But one percent, bro. Generational, unlikeable. Number two, like, low-key, if you, like, I was joking around earlier, but if you actually want to know how Mamdani got elected, like Hamas on October 7th got him elected.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Tell me why. Amas attack October 7th. Okay. War starts between Israel and Hamas. Okay. For the next two years, Israel just fucking like ethnically cleanses, it looks like they're ethnically cleansing.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Okay? Okay. Anybody who's talking about it or going, hey, this looks excessive, this looks wrong, what's going on other people, is immediate labeled an anti-Semite. You hate Jews. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:33:56 What are we talking about hate Jews? I'm just talking about, like, this war that's happening over here, right? There's a mayoral debate where seven or eight people are on stage and they get asked a question, where would you go for your first, trip and none of us know any of these people on stage and all of them say the same exact thing
Starting point is 00:34:14 i'm going to the holy land and one of them just goes new york first i'm stay right here that goes uber viral yeah but i don't think that is the same attention if bb is not ethnically cleansing palis yeah we we know right that's that's number one the definition sorry that gave him the separation that gave him the separation there's all this there's all this immense online conversation about like the influence of Israel in American politics. There's this immense amount of conversation about like Americans not supporting what's happening over there despite us sending billions of dollars. Like there's this whole there's this fervor online. And then there's this one guy who in this random debate, we can't name anybody else out there just goes, yeah, I'm just
Starting point is 00:34:55 going to govern the people in New York. And when people are already suffering, right, we saw this happened in New York City. People can't put food on their fucking table. And then they're illegal immigrants here. They were staying at hotels that we all knew growing up getting three meals a day. they're like, why the fuck are they getting three meals today? I can't get my kids. Simple. Simple shit. It's the same shit that they were with the border and everything else.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I think that separates him immediately. And then there's so much money being spent to malign him that it actually makes him. Raises his profile. So he's getting way more. And then the Democrats are so stupid that they run Cuomo, who is once again one of the most unlikable people. It's like running Kamala. It's like it's not possible to work.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Nah, he's Kamala not that bad, bro. They're on par. Cuomo killed old people, sexually assaulted some folks. I think. Cuomo and Biden are on par. No, what? Coma's more likable. He just has the fuck.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Cuomo's not more likable than Kamala, bro. What? Yeah, yeah. No. Everybody's more likable. I'm not, you know what? Yo, the fact that he killed those old people. Is Cuomo more likable than Kamala?
Starting point is 00:35:56 No. Yeah. Yeah. At his best. At his best. Come on. What does Kamala say this likable? I think her best is always in private, it seems like,
Starting point is 00:36:04 because everyone who knows her says she's been, she's been getting better. on her book tour. Her book tour is really good. They are. Her book tours are really good. I'm really happy about the things that she's saying. Yo,
Starting point is 00:36:15 Yo, Charlotte can't even lie. That's the beautiful thing about it. No, I am. Yo, shout out the big matter. He's, he's not. I'm thinking of Chris.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Are you guys crazy? No, no, no, no. What did he said that? Chris is rap. He sexually assaulted 13 women and killed old people and people were still thinking about voting for this guy. That's charisma. That's charisma.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Nobody. No, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no. into the Cuomo. But nobody like Cuomo. Nobody like Cuomo, right?
Starting point is 00:36:39 There was, people were just anti-Mundi. There was in a single person that was supporting Cuomo. Like, nobody was getting out in the polls saying he's got great policies. I think the money, I think the money class legitimately supported him. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:36:51 They supported him because. He represents stability and a continuation of. It was like anybody who voted for Kamala. It was just like they don't want more Trump. So whoever else is there, they'll support. So I was talking to a lot of people. Cops, nurses, and finance people, all were for Cuomo.
Starting point is 00:37:06 No, no. And old people. But they weren't for Cuomo. That old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They weren't for Cuomo. Like, I love every one of his policies. They were afraid of what Mom Gandhi might do to the city.
Starting point is 00:37:16 No, no, no. Nurses loved Cuomo for how he took care of them during the pandemic. Like every nurse I spoke to and every medical professional. By the way, we don't talk about our Cuomo blew a 3-1 weed, though. Cuomo was the bell of the ball. I know, I know. Oh, my God. He was the leader that America needed.
Starting point is 00:37:33 He was about to be president. All he was doing was leading New York, but the fact that he was giving daily briefings and talking to people, that shit was galvanizing the country. And it wasn't even killing the old people. It was trying to hide it and then putting out a book about how amazing he was at Handling the pandemic. What was it called? What was it called? I don't know. What was it?
Starting point is 00:37:57 Oh, shit. You're right. Fuck. What's not called? What was it? Hold on a book talk. I don't know. It's locked in.
Starting point is 00:38:05 I didn't even know he put out a book. You guys are forgetting the one person who was up 3-1 plus up 20 in the fourth quarter. Hillary. The whole equation. No, Eric Adams. I mean, for the incumbent Democrat, you lose in New York City. Nah, I could not even make it to the election is unprecedented. But he wasn't up 3-1.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Yes, he was. No, just by being an incumbent Democratic mayor. No, bro, Eric was. Eric, they were looking for opposite to Eric. You know who Eric was in this equation? Chuck Schumer right now. now. All they got to do is put the right. If AOC runs against Chuck Schumer, it's out to pastor, buddy. Chuck, he, no. Eric is, Eric, I don't know if she got it.
Starting point is 00:38:43 And come on, though, after what we saw yesterday, yo, after what we saw yesterday, I think somebody can primary Hakeem, somebody can primary Chuck Scho. Oh, he's out of here. Hakeem's out. I think Chuck is more, more, more, uh, breeding than Hakeem. You saw Pelosi's going out to the pastor. She said, she's like, I'm doing it myself. It's like, nah, shordy, you, you were about to get rocked. I'm disappointed in Chuck. I'll say that. Them youngans are not afraid.
Starting point is 00:39:08 There's two things that Mondani's election for me did for me. Number one, it gave me hope and free and fair elections. Because I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't think that they was going to let Mundani win it. Come on, bro. I'm like all of these billionaires. I thought to say. The billionaires in the...
Starting point is 00:39:25 Say it. Chris. Say it. The Chinese? Yeah. I just didn't think they was going to allow what to happen. Like, no. I said if he went-
Starting point is 00:39:39 We don't have it like that, man. They don't. No, y'all don't. We don't have it like that. You're right, you're right. You're right? Yeah, you're right. We're going to call them the Taiwanese now.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I'm going to make that. Now, fuck with our chips. But no, all jokes aside, all jokes aside, all jokes aside. Yeah. For everybody who has these conspiracy theories about Jewish people. Yeah. If those conspiracy theories were true, they run everything, they control everything. When Donnie would not be the mayor of New York.
Starting point is 00:40:03 York City. True. He just would not be the mayor of New York City if what y'all say about Jewish people was true. Yeah, that's true. Because they spent a lot of money. They spent a lot of money to not let him be married. I was like, yeah, I was like, I just don't see them allowing it to happen, yo.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Yeah. And it happened. So it gave me confidence in free and fair elections, at least on a local level. And it showed me that at least in New York, the socialist progressive agenda can get a lot of these established when Democrats. It's not only New York. The reality to matter is
Starting point is 00:40:38 is that people are struggling in America. That's the reality of matter. When people are struggling, right, and they see the government sending billions of dollars overseas, right? It's not just Israel. It could be Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:40:51 It could be anywhere. It could be Argentina. People in America start to go, how are you not taking care of us? If the economy was booming and they were sending money overseas, no one would really give a fuck. You'd be like,
Starting point is 00:41:02 let's help. out all these countries, let's do them a favor, let's be this benevolent empire. But once you're struggling at home, we don't want to hear nothing about anybody else's struggle. You come here with that bread. I don't know why that's so hard for people to grasp. But that's what he ran on. That's right. If America was really the land of milk and honey and everybody here was doing good, I wouldn't care that fucking Argentina got 40 billion dollars. But there has been times like that. When the economy is humming, we're sending all this money overseas and we just looked the other way because we don't care. It's a, it's a lot. It's
Starting point is 00:41:33 It's not just the stock markets up. It's like people making good wages. Businesses are cooking. This is, there are these times when you could do it. But the government officials, and this is what I said, literally it was something, it went fucking viral when I said, Mumdani is the only New York first candidate. And it was like, I was like, he's running his New York first. He proved it in that debate.
Starting point is 00:41:51 That's one question. That came up on CNN yesterday, too, because Ben Shapiro was saying how he didn't have no good debate. And I'm like, that's not true. I'm like, what actually changed the tide for him was that moment at the debate? because once again, you're leaning into Trump's messaging. What was Ben saying with his phony ass? What was he saying?
Starting point is 00:42:10 Man, just be honest, Bill. Like, there's one issue that you care about. That's it. Oh, he doesn't hide that, though. I think that we had a conversation yesterday, and I was saying how I think it's unfair to call people like Mondani anti-Israel because they're not anti-Israel.
Starting point is 00:42:24 They're anti-the-current Israeli government, B.B. Netanyahu and his war crimes in Gaza. Yeah. That's what people are anti. And I think that folks need to start pushing back on. What have Ben to say today? I don't remember, bro. Ben be coming at.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Ben be spitting them word. Technically the amount of babies being killed is under the threshold of babies that can be killed. We've calculated the amount of babies that are being killed. I have a friend who does argue that with me. He's like, you can't technically call this genocide. In order for- I didn't say genocide. No, no, no, but I'm saying I have a Jewish friend who we get in this argument. I'm like, you sound like a Nazi.
Starting point is 00:43:00 trying to fucking put a number on the amount of babies being killed. What I say, what I say, because I know that when you hear the word genocide, you're automatically ready to debate. I say ethnic claims. No, war crimes against Gaza because that is what he's been charged with
Starting point is 00:43:17 on the world stage. Yeah, I say, yeah, I go ethnic cleansing because I think that that's been communicated by people in government there. That'll get debated too. I'm not saying you're wrong. Yeah, that's fair. I'm just saying if you don't want to,
Starting point is 00:43:28 if you want to just kill the debate, war crime. And we're all against war. The reason why I said it is because I don't know if it's the goal to exterminate the people that are there. Like if Palestinians were down to move somewhere else, I think Israel would be like, we'll pay for it. You guys want to go?
Starting point is 00:43:44 We got you. I don't think it's the goal to just kill every single one of them. But that's why you can't say ethnic cleansing. Well, no, moving people is ethnic cleansing. Oh, I thought having to Clinton was getting rid of. No, it could be like what happened in the former Yugoslop. Oh. So like, you said, whereas.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Bro, they jet too hot. You're going like, no, for real, for real. Like a lot of this shit. That's 9-11, though. That's not 11. It's a jet fuel holidays. We're not, we're not sure enough to have a lot of these conversations. We are mature enough to have a lot of these conversations.
Starting point is 00:44:19 But we're not matured-dict-fuel holidays, Chris. To have a lot of these comments. Yo, why did you make me say that? You know, I didn't make you say nothing, bro. That was ridiculous. What's the origin of that joke or me? I have no idea, but it's hilarious. Which one?
Starting point is 00:44:32 The jet, whatever. I don't know the origin and none of this shit. I just jump in like a double-dutch, bro. Six-seven. It is what it is. It was just a really old infomercial. And then people started using it on TikTok. And so they just put on it.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Anything that's a mess. Yeah, yeah. Well, so what do we think happens, man? With what? Predictions. Predictions? When Donnie's whole candidate's, you know how we do, bro. Oh, I don't think Albany will let him get
Starting point is 00:44:59 most of the stuff done. I think he's probably a more shrewd politician than people give him credit for. So I think he will work them. The thing is this. If he has, he needs to get so much support in New York that Kathy Hockel thinks she can't win. I can't win without him. If he can't build that up,
Starting point is 00:45:21 because think about it, half the city, not have to city, maybe 40% of the city, no, half the city, including Sliwa, is really against him. So, and the other half is really for him. It's on some Trump shit, right? Is that divisive? But half the city ain't enough to sway the election for Kathy.
Starting point is 00:45:37 And the rest of New York might not be sympathetic. When's Kathy up next year? This coming year. I won't say this, and I want everybody to temper their expectation. But real quick, real quick. Here's the question. Kathy might say I'm not raising taxes when and after she wins, raised taxes.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Would it be her last term? This would be her second. How many gubernatorial terms? So it's her last term. And then she has to look at what she wants to do politically after a governor. What do you do? You go to the Senate?
Starting point is 00:46:10 Like, what do you... And it's funny. I would think she would say the opposite. I would say she would look like she's agreeing with Zoe saying that she will raise taxes on the billionaires, but then after she gets elected and not do it. Let me tell you, right? But Donnie's had some key promises.
Starting point is 00:46:24 I need everybody to temperate expectations and no, he doesn't have to do all of this shit, right? The free buses, the fair free public transit, the city-run grocery stores, the lower food prices, universal childcare, free early childhood care, the raising the minimum wage of $30 by 2030, affordable housing and rent-frees for rent-stabilized units, tax increases on high earners, corporations to fund these programs,
Starting point is 00:46:48 LGBT-Q support, and gender-affirming care. That's seven things. If he checks off two of those things, it's so when. If he gets universal child care, New York will be eating out the palm of his hand. Now, hold on. Out the palm is hand. Can I tell you something? Hold on. I thought New York had a degree of that already.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I think they do. I think DeBlasio put something in like that. He promises to expand no-cost child care from infancy to age five for all families as part of his affordability agenda. Okay, so this is something interesting here. To me, the Zoron supporter, the typical Zoron supporter, the kid who like basically moved here, had big dreams of making it in New York City. They got $200,000, $300,000 worth of college loans. New York City is a rough place, it's hard to make it. It's the best of the best in every business come here.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Maybe their career didn't go the exact way that they thought they could. They're realizing the window to achieve those dreams is probably closing. The rent is increasing. And he's like, I'm going to put a stop to that and give you. a few more years to get keep going after it those people in my in my opinion probably don't have kids universal child health care doesn't help those kids those people those voters which i think are like the majority of the zoh voters but that might really benefit the people they voted against them. Absolutely. And that might warm them up.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Absolutely. To those ideas. So I got the 18 to 29 generation. He'd go up in the club and do the running man and shit, you know what I mean? Oh, go. So, Zoh. He's not a hate it. You know, he's not hating on Zoe. What he's hating on is like how phony people are. I was like people like you. Whatever you do is fine. And when people don't like you, you can do nothing right. Like, nothing right. And you're 100%. That people like the family. It's just people are phony, is what I'm trying to say.
Starting point is 00:48:53 You're in New York City in a club dancing to not like us. It's a West Coast song. You couldn't even pick like a classic New York record. He wasn't big soap. He wasn't the DJ. I don't think. Hey, I'm Zoran. When I walk in, you should know what it is. Mimi at the corner of the pocket. And Jay Z's on that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:14 And these Jay Z's on that. At least Hove is on that. Okay. But all I'm saying, he got to just get a couple of these things. So which two do you think he can actually get done? Universal Child Care. Yeah, I think that. LGBT support and gender affirming care, I think.
Starting point is 00:49:30 That's nothing. No. That's nothing. Okay. Universal child care and I believe minimum wage by 2030. No. You don't think so? $30 minimum wage?
Starting point is 00:49:39 It's not, where is minimum wage at now in New York? I actually, I have no idea. You, boy, you're $15, right? You're all so fucking rich. Right around there. 15 bucks. Yo, okay, so I don't, I think he can get the child care. I don't know what else.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I think within two years he'll be able to do a REM freeze, but that's two years from now. Yes. I think the supermarket, because he only has to do five. He only said one in every borough. Yeah, but easy. But to me, I don't think that's a dub. Minimway 16. With people, with food prices and the weight people, you know how crazy the lines are going to be at those places?
Starting point is 00:50:12 But I don't think you need that. I never like, no, no, I'm going to tell you why, because you got food banks and pantries. Like, go to the food, if you go to the food bank in Harlem, the food bank NYC, you will see that they're doing that already. They're giving out the groceries and everything else. I would rather see more funding go to them because I actually see them do the work. That's all. There's a lot of middle class people that are still check to check and they're not at the point
Starting point is 00:50:36 of going to a food bank, but they are at the point of- Food banks aren't bad. No, but you know a lot of people have pride. Listen, we don't do policies for your point. By the way, to that point, with this current government shutdown, there was a woman that called Breakfast Club this morning. I think she was from North Carolina. She just missed her second paycheck. And she was like, you know, look, she was like, you know, I know what the food bank is here in North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:50:58 You know, I went there already. Like, they're already doing that. Some people don't have that much pride, bro. I know. But I'm talking about the people that are like right there afloat and they're like, oh, you know what? Eggs at this place is $4 cheap. I'm going to just go to this way. Who wouldn't do that?
Starting point is 00:51:11 But that's, to me, that's not what that's full. To me, it's not for that person. To me, it's for the people who don't have money for food at all. Right? If you're somebody who is choosing to live in a nice neighborhood that is outside of what your paycheck can cover, the food bank ain't for you. Yeah, but he doesn't have control of how people are going to utilize the shit. But that's something that he can do and everybody will instantly benefit from it and they'll be like, oh, I like this shit. But also, too, I said two.
Starting point is 00:51:40 A friend of mine said this. She was like, uh... He was like, I'm always skeptical of something about like, I'm always skeptical of like, I forget exactly what it was, but something, people who got a fresh manicure and pedicure, but they're getting something here. It's like if you got enough money to go get a manny-pedy, but you don't have enough money to go get food,
Starting point is 00:52:04 your priorities over. And this is a friend of mine who grew up on like nothing, broke as fuck, EBT, whole life. She's not wrong, but I will say that there, something about doing a little something for yourself that keeps yourself. I'm not saying that that's wrong. That's not bad. I'm not saying. I get what she's saying, but I can understand why people do both. For me, what I would rather do is instead of building
Starting point is 00:52:27 these grocery stores, I would rather subsidize the places that already exist in the hood. So it's like, give the bodegas food, let them make more money. Let them provide food for cheaper for the people in the area. I'm telling you the food, man, you got, the food bank for NYC does such a great job, man, and they treat people with such dignity and such respect and everything is such
Starting point is 00:52:50 done at such a high level. Like, bro, I would go to and get a bag. You know what I'm saying? Yo, there's nothing wrong if you need food to go. I'm just saying some people are going to feel like, hey, I'm not at the level. I shouldn't be taking this food away from people who really need it.
Starting point is 00:53:05 I think some people would say that. Salute to the Food Bank, too, man. We raised $150,000 meals. Last week, I put up I put up enough money to do 25,000 meals. All I wanted New York to do was match me. I just wanted to get to 50,000. We had like 150,000 right now, man.
Starting point is 00:53:19 So salute to the, I want to get involved in that. I'll send you to late. Donate it to your match. Thank you, Alex. I know Alex donated, the makeup guru, Bobby Brown donated. Mad, people just listen to Breakfast Club donated. Michael Chey even hit me up today. He wants to donate.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Like, you know what I said? It's just one of those things that, like, I've been doing the work with the food bank. And so now that, you know, there's a, issue that I want people to really galvanize around people are doing it you know so 150,000 meals I don't y'all don't even realize how big that is
Starting point is 00:53:50 for people over the holidays and it's good food yeah like all right let me shut up I may or may not take cookies from there because the cookies are so good them shit slap you're not guaranteeing the food bag bro I'm not the guarantee
Starting point is 00:54:08 the chocolate chip cookies at the Food Bank, NYC in Harlem, slap. Slap. Okay? So I may or may not be bagging up cookies and put one or two in my pocket. But that's cool, right? Hey, man. You provide $150,000 meals.
Starting point is 00:54:26 That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. And go back to Zoran and put a button on it. I said he got to do two things. He really only got to do one. Like, what do we think of when we think about Obama's eight years? Obama care. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:39 So if he do the, if he get the childcare, if Mondani can get the childcare shit done, salute to you, bro. And you know, it's crazy during his speech, he even said universal health care. And I'm like, he wasn't saying that before. But the fact that he said it during his speech, I was very surprised by that.
Starting point is 00:54:55 If he pulls that off in New York City, he will be a legend. Listen, I love New York City. My career is in New York City. I became who I am because of New York City. I hope Zoran does it all. I hope that he makes it the utopia that he says it's going to be.
Starting point is 00:55:16 That said, good luck. It's a beast, right? It's a beast. Because he, for whatever reason, he chose to go head up with Trump immediately. And all I kept thinking to myself was, did Andrew tell him when he was on Flagrant that if you're a mayor in New York City,
Starting point is 00:55:33 you're like the second-in-command to the president? Like, you're the second most important person to the president. I'm like, why would he do that? They say that. Go after authoritarianism, go after, you know, fascism, say we're keeping that out of New York. But he kind of just drew a line in the sand. What did he say? Listen to it. He just told him to turn the volume up so you can hear the crowd.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you. Volume up. New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by a city built by a. immigrants of tonight led by President Trump when I say this. To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us. He's 80 years old. He can't fucking eat. I can't wait to them school that's coming after Christmas.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Oh, man. It's going to be beautiful. Let's pay some bills, man. Church announcement show at Soul City. Um. That was crazy. That was crazy. That was a little bit crazy.
Starting point is 00:57:01 No, nothing to announce right now, man. Just getting back on stage. Feels good to be back on stage. And very excited. Very excited about what's to come. My church announcement is Two-Chane's book. Go pre-order that right now. The voice in my head is God.
Starting point is 00:57:17 That will be available March 3, 2006, on Black Privilege Publishing. Also, go pre-order Arsenio Hall's book Arsenio. That will be out next year as well. And go pre-order Jess Alarious, tell deaf do we parent. I thought I had a copy with me, but I don't. Tell death do we parent will be out next year via Black Privilege Publishing as well.
Starting point is 00:57:36 That's going to be a very interesting book because it is just talking about how her and her baby daddy, Rome, got to an agreement on how to co-parent. And, you know, she had a baby when they were young. So it's a very humorous tale. But you'll learn a lot. Now let's get back to the show.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Jake Paul and Javante Davis canceled. So what happened? Jervante put hands on his wife? Man, you know what I heard? I heard that Jervante Davis was being very difficult to work with and Netflix was just waiting for a reason. You know, you saw what Jake Paul tweeted.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Jake Paul said, Gervante Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage, working with him as an absolute nightmare, the unprofessionalism, the bizarre request, the showing up hours late to shoots, the numerous arrest and related accusations and lawsuits. If you support this man, you support the most vile sin a man
Starting point is 00:58:27 can commit. What else is to say? I didn't want to give this woman abuser a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account my company champions women. I'm so sorry to everyone involved, mostly to the undercar fighters,
Starting point is 00:58:39 to my team and MVP and to my team who worked so hard for this fight, sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind. Again, it's scary that devilish men like this
Starting point is 00:58:48 can rise to the top of culture in sports, including in positions of power. I hope you people moving forward look beyond his fake streetwear piece is swag and search for something deeper to be a fan of. As for me, as on to the next one, as always,
Starting point is 00:59:01 anyone, anytime, any place. I mean, here's the thing. I think that, you know, I don't know if it's true what they said. I just know that they were saying he was showing up late, the promo shoots, and he was, you know, just being a divo, just being a difficult person to work with. And the thing I'll always tell anybody, I don't care what age you are, whenever you're working with somebody, when you're on a set,
Starting point is 00:59:24 you know, when you're on a corporation, whatever it is, the thing that will keep money in your pocket and always keep you working is when those individuals say that person is a pleasure to work with. When they say you're a pleasure to work with, I promise you you will always get phone calls. That's why I walk in the room. It's just my nature anyway because, you know, just the way my anxiety is set up, I need to know who's who. So I speak to everybody. I look in everybody's eyes. I'm really observing to make sure I don't see anything bulging in any places where there might be pistols or anything else.
Starting point is 00:59:55 but I'm saying hi to everyone. I speak to everybody in the room. I speak to everybody when I leave. I'm polite because I used to sell crack and work at Taco Bell and I understand how much of a blessing it is to be in these positions. There's no way that I'm going to be, you know,
Starting point is 01:00:11 getting tens of millions of dollars like Giovante Davis is and be acting like a divot. And I'm not saying he was. I'm just saying if the rumors are true. You know what I mean? If the rumors are true, because that's what I was told.
Starting point is 01:00:26 And, you know, I heard they were just looking for a reason. The part ways. So. I mean, that's a good reason. I think he has a good point, too. It's just like, you know, he built his platform a lot, or Jake on female fighters. Absolutely. So maybe he should support Javante because he supports the beating women.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Yeah, but not by other genders. Oh, I got it. And also, too, maybe Tank isn't used to not. Nobody has paid people more money to beat women than Jake Paul. That's a fact. No, that's not true. That women. Did he, bro?
Starting point is 01:01:04 What are we talking about? What are we talking about? You can add up and... They got beat. Yes, what you just said? No. He's paying the beater. Oh, shit, you're right.
Starting point is 01:01:16 God damn it. Yeah. What's the fucking on our brains today? Yeah. You're right. Yeah. Yeah. So in a lot of ways.
Starting point is 01:01:22 Maybe the NFL? Say again? The NFL maybe. You don't think the NFL maybe? No, you're right about that. The NFL pays a lot of... The only corporation or company has paid people to beat women more.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Yeah, that's... Now... Because there's a lot of women that are probably putting up with this because they're with these guys that are making all this money. And they're like, if he didn't have all this money, you know how some people are. They're telling them, baby, it's okay.
Starting point is 01:01:52 He takes care of you. With Jake's consensual. That's the thing. It's Jake's consensual. Two consensual parties. Two women. Say that word. No, I'm saying it's consensual.
Starting point is 01:02:02 I'm saying these two women came together. He pays women to beat on each other. Exactly. Got you, got you. Also, if you like seeing a woman get beat, imagine two women beating on each other. That must be double. That's like, best be in porn.
Starting point is 01:02:16 I love women boxing. Also, I was thinking, too, maybe Tank isn't used to being the B side of a fight. The B side. So everybody's being. working around his schedule and now. Yeah, when you're the A side, you get to dictate things, you pick who you want, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Maybe he's not used to be in the B side. And he's still trying to act like the A side. Netflix don't give a fuck. MVP promotions don't give a fuck. Yeah, that's a great way. That could be it too. That would have been a big, big fight. I think a lot of us would have watched that.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Of course we would have watched. Of course we would have watched. 50 cent trolling the shit out of ditty, bro. Like, what's a bitch? She said he looked, there's a picture of Diddy on the yard with a bunch of guys. And he said, he looked happy to me with all them handsome men around. Good morning, New York City. Damn.
Starting point is 01:03:06 50 is. Damn. 50 diabolical, bro. I mean, listen, man, you can't be mad at Fifth. Because we don't know the dynamics to 50 in Diddy's issues. Oh. Now, I think I do. because I've been told things,
Starting point is 01:03:28 but I'm not going to ever share that publicly. But if you kind of knew... Then it might feel justified. It would fit... No, not might. It would. It would, man. It's like when people used to be like,
Starting point is 01:03:41 yo, and it's not to this extreme, but when people used to be like, man, why he don't just let up off jaw rule, they tried to kill him twice, guys. Yeah, so if you try to kill me twice, then it's going to be hell for you forever. And even if you didn't try to kill me twice, We know about the stabbing at the hit factory.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Even if the other one didn't have anything to do to you, it was, I believe it was affiliated with you. I believe it was people close to you, so I'm going to carry it like it was. Forever. So forever, I understand it. Now, the beef I don't understand if he has is what Zoran went on. That's his latest foil. I don't know why he has the issues with Zoron that he does. You know what?
Starting point is 01:04:20 I think we know why. The money. It's just the money situation. But also, 50 doesn't even live in. New York anymore. I know. So I don't know why. Maybe he's just looking out for the city. I think 50 just likes chaos. Yeah. Yeah. And as a cancer, I understand. Zoran came out to a Jai Rul's song for his victory song. Oh. He's fucking up. He did. That's probably why. What I want 50 to do... Why come out to a Jai Rul's song?
Starting point is 01:04:47 It's the... Was there other people 50 beef with the guy... But they say he played mini-men at his victory party, too. Oh, really? Yeah, what I want 50 to do is learn the joy of fucking with people behind the scenes. I read the 48 laws of power and the 50th law. I know 50s read the 48 law of power. 408 law of power says always keep your hands clean. I, too, used to like to get my hands dirty. But it's nothing like being the Wizard of Oz.
Starting point is 01:05:22 By the way, I only say that to fuck with people. I just say that for the YouTube videos. You know, I love the conspiracy. Hold on, hold on. How many things you got cooking right now behind the scenes? Behind the scenes. People are nobody.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Really nobody. Truly nobody. Well, nobody in entertainment. Politics. Woo. Oh, you're getting private, buddy. Okay. Shout out to Bob magazine, too.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Vibe Magazine did a great article on me and my good sister, Dolly Bishop, man. We are on the cover. Yeah, we're on the cover of this month's vibe. It says, Dolly S. Bishop, Salomey and the God, the Black Effect Podcast Network, shines, celebrating five years of creative excellence. So they did a great profile on us and the Black Effect Podcast Network. We've been in business for five years, man. And contrary, YouTube's popular belief, we are doing fantastic.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Okay. What else we got, Chrissy? Chris Moreau. What we got? What we got? Keep going down. Keep going down. What's the sexiest man alive?
Starting point is 01:06:33 Somebody tell me Jimmy Fallon got sexiest man alive. Is that true? Man, come on with all this. Who got sexiest man alive, yo? I miss Taylor, man. Who's that? Taylor, we miss you. Taylor gang.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Okay. I have no idea who Jonathan Bailey is. Who is Jonathan Bailey? I don't know. I don't know. Move on. Next. He's an actor.
Starting point is 01:06:57 there people magazine is acting Jonathan Bailey is this year sex with a man alive. Bailey is known for his roles and wicked. Congrats. Congrats. Congrats. I've seen all those movies and have not seen this man ever in my life. Congrats, bro. That's him?
Starting point is 01:07:09 He looked too regular white. Yeah. You got, you got it, like there's a distinct, like you got, like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, there's a different like distinct, you know, whiteness about them. He don't have that. I agree though, but like, but yeah, I'm, I wouldn't hit. You wouldn't hit?
Starting point is 01:07:30 I don't think I'd hit. Would you clap it? No, no, I don't like white meat. You don't like white meat? No, no, no. What happened? Diet change. Diet change.
Starting point is 01:07:45 Diet change. What happened? You got that sugar, right? That sugar, got you. Gave up pork, gave up white meat. You know what I'm saying? I didn't get it all that do, man. You looking good, though, skin looking good.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Thank you, man. Less dressed. Left sit, man. Yeah, you less dressed, man. That pink hit different, though. That pink hit different, dude. That pink is different, dude. Chill, chill, you're exciting people from other podcasts.
Starting point is 01:08:12 You're exciting people from other podcasts. Relax, bro. Relax, bro. Relax, bro. You're exciting people from other podcasts. You're going to make people from other podcasts, real laugh, bro. Oh, no, no. I don't want to do it because you know it's hard for them to control their
Starting point is 01:08:26 diet, you know? The things you consume are difficult, man. Cut it out. It's difficult, man, you know. What did you think of Maywe wasn't saying he'd always be a voice for Israel? Man, he's in some dire financial situations for sure, bro. That's how much you think it costs him to do that? I don't, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:51 I'm not mad at him for doing it. I just, what is this, first of all? Like, what was this event? I don't know, man. What's the check? You think he got paid for that? I don't think he got paid for that? Yeah, he had to get paid for that.
Starting point is 01:09:04 You think so? Yes. Really? Come on, man. Making him dressed like a fucking superhero. Nah, he looks... Listen, I'm not mad at him for doing it, you know? I just...
Starting point is 01:09:17 I don't like the conspiracy theories. In February, the IRS put a lien on Floyd Mayweather over taxes not paid since 2015. He was caught lying about owning Manhattan in real estate by business insider. He's doing exhibitions that can't draw a crowd for a fraction of his heyday paychecks. He's being used for a check. I'm not saying that.
Starting point is 01:09:36 Come on, God. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's ridiculous, bro. Like, that is tin foil pushaiste mask, yo. Like, what? Ten foil pushaisee, man. I don't have a problem with him doing what he's doing.
Starting point is 01:09:51 And I think this is what happens when people don't make the distinction. between Israel and the Israeli government. Your beef is with the Israeli government. That's who you're mad at. Not all of Israel and every Israeli, right? Yeah. I would think.
Starting point is 01:10:12 Well, yeah, I mean, I don't think that we want to take responsibility for the things our government does that we don't like. You know? No. I think we do a really good job of drawing a line. understand. I think it's a ridiculous argument because you're still responsible for the things that your government is doing. That's still your president at the end of the day. Right. Right. Regardless, and we're allowed to criticize our president. Yeah. Right. And we're allowed to demand that our
Starting point is 01:10:41 president make changes. But I think that people, there's too much. Yeah, I don't think it justifies hating a group of people. I mean, I hate that. Oh, I'm with you 100 percent. But I think that there's a lot of it. It's like it's because people don't push back on the BB of it all. Well, I think it's, I think, I think there's a few things going on. It's like people don't push back to BB at all. I think that I think there should be a separation between like the people and the government to make decisions and then just people who believe in a religion that's been around here for 3,000 years. I think those are separate 100%. But I also think that there's a thing going on where it's just like not being able to have that discussion without people labeling you some way.
Starting point is 01:11:19 Like if you may, if you're critical of what a government's doing and somebody labels you an anti-Semi, it makes a lot of people just get quiet. right they go okay well i don't want to say anything and when they're quiet you basically see the conversation to the most wild fringes and then the wild fringes are the ones that dictate the conversation so what we actually should do is have more conversations and have more dialogue without throwing around people being anti-semites or people being due haters and just addressing the ideas that are there and like debating those ideas and then you don't lose it to the fringe and the extreme So there's a lot of different things that are going on here.
Starting point is 01:11:58 But yeah, it's horrible to see all the anti-Semitism. And people think I'm Jewish, so I get it. Like, I can actually speak to it being real. You know what I mean? There's a lot of people who are, like, nobody's assuming you're Jewish, so you're not getting it. People think I am, so I get it.
Starting point is 01:12:10 So I can tell you for a fact, it is just like people are just hateful of people simply because they think they're Jewish, not knowing a single thing about it. Chris, what did I tell you a couple years ago? What's that? I said, yeah, I didn't know they hated you all that much. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:22 I literally said that. And now it looks, gets almost open season because they feel justified by what Israel's doing. And that's where you need to be able to cross. That's where you got to draw the line. That's where you draw the line. They feel justified in their hate. Like that doesn't justify your hate.
Starting point is 01:12:36 By way. At all. I tell everybody, go back before October 7th, Israelis didn't like B.B. Net and Yahoo. Israelis weren't. They wanted to see it was on his way out of here. Exactly. Israelis were in the street protesting against B.B. Net and Yahoo. Israelis were saying he used to be locked up.
Starting point is 01:12:49 They were protesting during the war, too. That's my point. So that's why the whole, you know, I don't like when they label people like the Mondani's and everybody. They're not anti-Israel. They're anti-Bee. But maybe the Mondanis in the world got to do a better job of being distinct about what they're against. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:05 So we can go back into things that like Mondani has said that are probably terrifying to Jews, right? Globalized the Intifada. Like that's a thing that's terrifying Jews. You roll your eyes at that because you're from fucking Taiwan. Call Dovin here right now. Listen, all jokes aside, call Devon. here right now and get dubbed to talking double have tears in his eyes exactly so it's like that's a thing that does scare jews okay like whether you like but i also i won't name the person but i also saw a fairly
Starting point is 01:13:35 prominent jewish uh radio personality calling montanaia terrorist this one yeah that's horrible too too who who does it look look look like if you want to say you could say i don't want to say i don't know who did it's not even that big deal that's but um the point is this the point is this is that like that's terrifying. Also just calling them a fucking terrorist that's also terrified. Like you shouldn't be doing these things. Right.
Starting point is 01:14:01 These things shouldn't happen. And talking on the back. Exactly. But it also, it's like disgusting rhetoric. Like we should be able to, these people are, if they are politicians, like they should be able to discuss ideas
Starting point is 01:14:11 without the immediate label being thrown out. Like, oh, you hate all these people. It's lazy. Maybe, exactly, it's lazy. It's like maybe there is merit to what they're saying and maybe you should consume it and then debate it.
Starting point is 01:14:20 And maybe you have points that will rebuke what that person's saying and then they might change how they feel. But simply just labeling somebody hateful is going to make everybody else leave the conversation. Now you lose a conversation to the fringes. They control the discourse. And then what they're saying is all of a sudden normalized. And we need to do that. It like, it never works. Remember during fucking me too. It's the same exact thing. During me too, we're out here going, hold on with like just like people at work and a boss says like, uh, you have a nice weekend.
Starting point is 01:14:50 There wasn't that. But like something insane. And we were going, well, that's a little bit. Or Aziz Ansari going on a date and like, you know what I mean? Like watching fucking Seinfeld and offering a girl a glass of wine and she's like, I was me too. And then people going, that seems a little far. It's like, oh, you're enabling this toxic behavior. It's like, okay, well now what you're going to do is lose the conversation to the most extreme people.
Starting point is 01:15:10 And then you had the red pill community dictating what the conversation was for about men and women and their relationships. Like you have to be able to have these conversations without immediately labeling people or else it just gets so. How do we not learn this lesson every single fucking. Tom. Listen. Black Lives Matter was the same thing.
Starting point is 01:15:27 It's like we could have had this conversation, right? We could have talked about it. We could have, all right, maybe we shouldn't be destroying stores. Maybe we shouldn't be ripping these things off. And then what happens? We find out it was just a real estate scam. And now, you know, it's going to be very difficult to support something like that in the future. We could have had that discussion.
Starting point is 01:15:43 Let's pay some bills, man. I'm not having this comment. Let's pay some bills. But you get what I'm saying, right? Yes. Let's have the conversation instead of immediately labeling people hateful. I agree. And I don't think that rhetoric works no more.
Starting point is 01:15:56 They did that shit to Mundani, the whole campaign, that shit did not work. They did that shit to Trump, the whole campaign, that shit did not work. At the end of the day, people are tuning all of that shit out, and they're like, is this motherfucker speaking to my issues? He's speaking to my interests. He's a good man, Savannah. Yeah. Now they're doing it to Tucker.
Starting point is 01:16:12 Tucker who? Tucker this dick in your mouth. Tuck that in. Tuck this dick real quick in your mouth. Put it to bed. Put it to bed. You know why that's it. I was fucked up, because you wasn't even trying to.
Starting point is 01:16:26 He wasn't trying to. I'm going to take advantage of it. I'm going to take advantage of it. But you know what's so fucked up? When he said Tucker, my mind went to trans. I don't know why. I literally thought about somebody tucking their dick. They are tucked about Carlson.
Starting point is 01:16:40 How are you not the most famous Tucker? How is Tucker Carlson not the most famous Tucker? Why do my mind go to people that tuck they dick? That's your mind. Rupol. Let's face a bill. Yo, wait, we're not talking about Tucker? What happened with Tucker?
Starting point is 01:16:57 What's the infighting? I know there's some sort of infighting. Now, Tucker had Nick Fuentes on. And then Shapiro is trying to cancel him. Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't ask him about that when you saw him yesterday. Yeah. Oh, they did. I left.
Starting point is 01:17:13 I only did the hour. Oh. Yeah, the second hour, because I was when I was leaving and I was getting my stuff out of the room, I saw Harry, not Harry, Henry. Henry, right? Don't know me from seeing that name that do the data He's doing the bullet Enton, Harry. Harry Enton, I'm sorry

Starting point is 01:18:03 I didn't say this yesterday, but I was sitting there. And nobody told us the show's starting, bro. So I'm sitting there and the shit starts counting down. And, you know, the intro comes on. And I'm like, yo, the show's starting? Yeah. Yo, Harry just starts talking. Like, he just comes in hot.
Starting point is 01:18:20 No, welcome to whatever, whatever. He just started talking. Like, we've been. sitting there for a long time. Like, we just knew what the fuck was going on. He didn't introduce nobody. He got to it. He got it.

Starting point is 01:18:48 Now that you say that. It's different. I love Harry. Harry's a great guy. No, Harry's a good dude. If I ever forgot a score of a baseball game from the 50s, he got that shit. Harry has that mad money energy. What's that dude named?

Starting point is 01:19:59 but when she needs to get buck, she gets buck. They didn't get buck last night, though. Teslin Figaro was on there as well. And the reason I like CNN, and I got to give Abby all the credit for this, stuff like this CNN election live cast wouldn't happen without Abby Phillips because Abby Phillips gives a platform to people like Anna. Abby gives a platform to people like Teslin. They probably would have been on there anyway because Ben's platform is huge.
Starting point is 01:20:22 You know what I'm saying? Young Turks is big, too. right? Tesslin's building her platform as well. Young Turks hosted by? Chank. Chank. My guy, Chink. Yo, do you love Chank?

Starting point is 01:28:58 I don't want to, because you don't know what other people really got going on. It's a hard question to ask once you have children. That's right. Because you can't imagine living with not them. That's right. That seems like such a punishment. And then what if you go live somebody else's life for one day

Starting point is 01:30:01 Your mom is the sweetest, bro. No. My dad, bro. That's all 100% my dad. White people. 100% my dad. My dad would instill it and then my mom would chip away at that. I love Andrews's commitment to massages.
Starting point is 01:30:17 I mean, when you are misogynistic to your mother, that's like, I get it from my mama. I get it from my mom. I can't even be mad at you. I get it from my mama, bro. I get it from my mama. My dad is the most loving, bro. I get it from my mama, man. Take that out on her.

Starting point is 01:30:46 Where's my super suit? Andrew and Chris switch bodies Freaky Friday style. Who would be the first person each of you called to try and talk to? What? What? Oh, if we switch bodies, freaky Friday style, who would be the first person that each of us call to try and talk to? Shit, you know what I'm talking to. You finally going to call the Chinese restaurant in the next day with this day.
Starting point is 01:31:12 You already know. You already know. I'm going straight to the sauce. I was talking about it. Stop with it, man. You go to that local Chinese restaurant. I'm going to right there. I've been trying to understand you for you.
Starting point is 01:31:24 Yeah, yeah. Now I can finally understand. Come on now. More now. I think you're really confusing a lot of the viewers out here are the listeners. Yeah. No, Chris, you're Asian. You're Asian.
Starting point is 01:31:35 We know this. Come on. You're J Asian. You are Irish. You're Jewish and Asian. One more. This is the last one. Yo, what did I call him?
Starting point is 01:31:45 Egg Jew Young. What? Andrew Young is hilarious. That might be the name of the pod, guys. Andrew Young. Turtle 08 says, respectfully, you are both leaders in your individual fields. Did you have to grow into that leadership role
Starting point is 01:32:02 or is it natural for you? Schultz? Hmm. I don't know. I don't know. I never really think about it in that way. I never really think about it in that way, to be honest about it.
Starting point is 01:32:17 I think naturally there's growth with anything, but I never thought about it in that way. I was always just like, what can I do to continue to make the comedy that I want to make and put it out successfully? Yeah. And then I was fortunate enough that it was successful. I think other people gravitated to the thing that they saw that was successful. But I never was like, it's my role as the leader to change these things.
Starting point is 01:32:39 It was just like, how can I do comedy the exact way I want to do it? Yeah, I would be honest with you, I don't look at myself as a leader. Yeah. I don't feel like I'm in a leadership role. I feel like I am a servant. I'm here to serve the needs of our listeners, our viewers, and I feel that I am a great team player. And I think that, you know, one of my skills,
Starting point is 01:33:02 if I had to say what some of my skills are, are finding the right people to be in those leadership role. Because you can have a vision, right? Like, you can have a vision for something like Black Effect, but be like, who could it run this day-to-day and make it successful? That shit is so hard. Oh, Dolly Bishop, you know what I'm saying? Hiring the right people, hiring talent, like that shit is so hard.
Starting point is 01:33:22 Hire the right people and everything else falling in place. When I had my TV show, you know, my good sister Rachel Edwards, she was our showrunner. And, you know, everybody always complimented our staff. They always complimented the team. There were only two people on that team I picked. It was Rachel and Bianca because I knew that Bianca and Rachel would fill in everything else. They would fill in the blanks. I mean, if you hire right, they will do that.
Starting point is 01:33:50 Yes. That is the truth. You know, and that's exactly what Rachel and, you know, Bianca did. And that is the reason that we had, you know, that staff that we had, you know. Salute to Bianca B. Bianca Brunette. Shout out Big Bianca Brunette White. Oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:34:09 Can you watch your-Bianca Brunette White. God. So, yeah, man. That's it. I don't, like I say, that's it. Thank you for. joining us this week.
