We pay very well. Nah, nah, nah. You know? I didn't even know that this studio existed. OK? And I've been in this building before. But I taped in another studio over there one time with Earn Your Leisure. Right? Yeah. Upstairs. Upstairs? Yeah. So y'all got two on this floor? Well, this one, that one, and then upstairs. Oh, yeah.

Yes, they did. Damn. How'd they get in? Nah, it was Shifty. Huh? It was Shifty. We know the person. I know he's Shifty. Whoever the fuck did it. Whoever the fuck did it is a Shifty individual. Nah. Taylor, they can't hear you. What'd you say? You got a microphone? Um. What'd you say, Taylor? He's around in his place. Like. OK. Never mind, Taylor. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry.

I'm not. I hope not. She just drove me up here. Oh, my gosh. You let that high girl drive you? It was a little. That high, muscular girl that's taking peptides, clearly. There was a lot of break action going on. I hate her. She took peptides just to get back. You're a hater. Just to bounce back, yo. You're a hater. Just to get the bounce back. Don't do that. Don't do that. This is all natural. You just had a baby two days ago. Thanks. I appreciate that. So, I was going to say, it's my man's birthday, so shout out to him. Peace. That's right. Taylor need another cancer to change her life. Cancers don't do nothing but help you and upgrade your life. My mom's a cancer. See? And your mom's a cancer. Shout out to Miss Gwen. What? No. I love your mom. I love your mom. Shout out to capital P, man. Happy born day to capital P. Where do we start? Let's start with some all memes matter. Let's start with Obama lives rent free. Oh, no. That's not the headline. The headline should be, oh, yeah, Obama lives rent free in Trump's head. Barack Obama, former President Barack Obama was on the front line. He was on the All the Spoke podcast with my guys, Matt Barnes and Steven Jackson. And I haven't gotten a chance to listen to the whole conversation. I can't wait to sit and listen to the whole conversation. But they talked to him about Donald, about living rent free in Donald Trump's head. And I have some thoughts about this. Oh, shit. I just didn't do it off YouTube. I mean, it should pop up. You don't have the links, though? Oh, yeah. Be careful, too. They're probably saving your information in here. No, for real. We will log out of here. I don't trust none of that. They'll be all in your DMs making sure you faithful to P. Capital P. Okay. There you go. The leader of this current administration is still very fascinated with you and your family. Constantly bringing you guys up. And you've been out of office nearly 10 years now. How do you continue to keep your cool? And take the high road, so to speak? Because we asked Michelle, and Michelle said we don't have to take the high road no more. We just have to be strategic in our approach. But she said we don't have to take the high road. But you constantly seem to meet the negativity and the racism with class. And it makes you stand out so high. But you don't just want to cuss his ass out sometimes? I mean, the thing about it is, look, you got to ask him what it is. The obsession? The obsession. I know what it is. I obviously have a room in his head. Rent free. You do everything with grace. A suite in his head. But first of all, when I was president, the last thing I had time to do was worry about what -- Somebody said. Somebody said or what my predecessor did. They're gone. I've got work to do. You locked in. It's hard to describe how -- if you're doing the job right, every day you've got 5, 10 things that -- that are real hard. And you have to be constantly focused. The idea that I'd be worried about -- Came before. Somebody who came before and me trying to measure, you know, like, what's he done today? Look, constantly worrying about that is a strange thing to me. It shows me somebody who's not focused on the American people and the job they're supposed to do. The leader of this -- Oh, that's not it, though. I want the whole part. I want the part where he's talking about how he don't -- never had that same energy in his face. Yeah, I want that part. Let's find that part. Oh, he said something like he -- he wouldn't try me or something. But I need to hear it. I need to hear it. I need the listening audience to hear it, man. I need them to hear it. By the way, I'm getting the fuck out of here after the day. I just want y'all to know that, okay? After the day -- This is our problem. After the day, okay, I am gone for the next 10 days. Ain't no Breakfast Club. Ain't no Brilliant Idiots, all right? Ain't no -- it might be some limited social media. I am on vacation. I believe in face-to-face. Mm-hmm. I believe in conversation. Mm-hmm. So if this -- whoever you were talking about was in front of me, which has happened a couple times. He don't talk like that. Mm-hmm. Because he knows better. I think there is a -- Oh, shit. That filter of the phone creates a situation both where people just say kind of crazy stuff that they would never say -- With no consequences. -- to your face with no consequences. Yeah. Mm-hmm. All right. Listen, you know, I got nothing but respect for President Barack Obama. Uh-oh. Nothing but respect for Michelle Obama. I don't even know what he means by this. He's saying Trump got Twitter fingers. But when he says that he would never say this to my face, what would the consequences be if Donald Trump does? I mean, he's kind of calling him pussy. He's saying you don't keep the same energy. But he's doing the same thing that he's accusing Donald Trump of. But he never talks about Trump. I agree. President Obama don't keep the same energy with Trump. Here's my point. We watched him play footsie -- Right. -- at President Carter's funeral. That's what politicians do. Mm-hmm. They talk shit about each other. Right? But then when they see each other face-to-face, you don't ever see none of that. The only time you ever remotely see politicians talking shit about each other -- The only time you ever remotely see politicians go at it with each other is when they're on a debate stage. Other than that, when they're in settings like this, it's kumbaya. Mm-hmm. Like, they was literally laughing and giggling and having a good kiki at President Carter's funeral. This is after Donald Trump done said wild shit about President Obama over the years. Wild shit that had his life threatened, had his family's life threatened. You didn't keep that same energy. You know who kept that same energy? The First Lady. Michelle. The First Lady. Because she was like, "Fucking, I ain't going. I'm not going to a former president's funeral because I don't fuck with him." Now, we don't know if that's really the case, but that's what it seems like. Yeah. Okay? They didn't even invite Donald Trump to the opening of the Obama Center. Because Michelle probably said, "I'm not coming if he's going to be there," drawing a definitive line in the sand. So it's just like, I don't even know what Obama -- maybe because he in front of Matt and Steve, and he know that they enforcers. So he trying to talk tough and it's on all the smoke. I didn't understand. What was that? What was that? I didn't like that energy. I got to be honest. What was it? I'm also -- You know, Obama can't do nothing wrong, guys. I'm reading "Regime Change" right now. I was just talking about that. What's that? Maggie Haberman. I'm looking it up. The other author, Jonathan Swan. So this is about Trump's first year in office. And I'm only maybe a quarter of the way in. But it's very much in my mind. So, admittedly, I'm influenced by what I'm reading right now. But it's about his -- Trump's first year in office for this current term. Okay. And they got incredible access by everybody's admission. And one of the things they talk about right at the end of it is, at the top is one of trump's go-to moves is crazy twitter fingers talks wild on social media but in your face a completely different energy so they said when he met with biden you know he had obviously spent the entire lead up to the election trashing biden he was incredibly solicitous to biden in person told him i feel so bad about what's happened with hunter we're not going to touch you know obviously he is why things could have happened to hunter but like that's his go-to move is to be incredibly aggressive on social media and in the media but then switch it up on person and it caught biden off guard but i didn't know what to do like that's why biden is standing outside the white house telling him welcome home this guy that y'all literally y'all been telling us literally the democracy telling us he's a fascist fascist is at the doorstep of america you're like welcome home like i don't but but and again this is coming through through the reports so take it with a grain of salt but they say in biden's case the idea of tradition the idea of a peaceful transfer of power like the symbolism of it all was incredibly important to him so like he didn't want to shake it up but then he was stunned when trump even after that in-person meeting he was incredibly nice then switch it up on him again so i kind of get what obama's i don't really i'm just like you know what this guy is don't play footsie with them don't keep up appearances don't act now like you're gonna do something you know like it doesn't make any sense to me it's just a person on the outside looking in i'm like man all of y'all politicians be full of it because they all though but we know that so don't act like it's something don't act tough here because i can look at barack obama and say guess what mr president you do the same thing in his presence too yikes the only difference is that he doesn't talk shit about yes he does no he don't talk reckless like trump he talks he's very measured elevated measured level of letting you know this dude ain't it yeah you know what i mean but but once again there's a difference between having a difference of opinion with a political opponent and telling us that a person is a threat to democracy which by the way we don't even need nobody to tell us anymore we see what it is now we see he don't give a damn about you know any of the institutions that america has upheld he don't give a damn about the constitution we know that so at this point what's the why play nice with him have an understanding where it's like i during campaign time like that everything is like we understand that's there and we'll leave it in the past you know another reason i don't like it because think about what it does to us as a society it riles us oh yeah it makes everybody choose sides and like there's actual violence that happens between people on the left people on the right because of this because of what they're doing here but then they're sitting around having a beer together kicking at a funeral yeah so even that with that don't talk like that now i don't like when you i don't like when none of them talk like that any of them i don't like when barack when donald trump gets online and act like he gonna i want barack obama locked up this dude be calling for the arrest of president obama that's the other thing i was thinking about too when you talk about if trump says something to you and you say something to trump there's gonna be consequences what are the consequences donald trump could really have you locked up if he wanted to oh and also like trump's an incredible athlete he's like no he is he's been talking about that he's in great shape i don't know if physically obama could handle him what's the real i need y'all to know when chris is being sarcastic okay i don't i don't because because you don't need none of the right wing outlets type in donald trump stop he's stop you're gonna see how many times he said what an incredible athlete what great team no it's like six four one eighty five tops man another point about that too right another thing i feel like y'all are talking about is grace right i feel like democrats be having way more grace for republicans who have talked greasy than they do for people in their own party what do i mean by that look how quick they are to embrace the marjorie taylor greens the tucker carlson's you know the megan kelly's of the world i've been on megan's show but like these people have talked crazy right about the democratic party but you know democrats can say but you know there are they're they're on the right side now and you know we can find common ground with them because they're speaking out against trump but when it comes to people in their own party like zoran mondani like people zoran mondani is endorsed they can't find no common ground with actual democrats yeah you don't think that's crazy to me just because they're progressive just because they what they call them far left you know what i mean what is it what is it the democratic socialists or whatever they call it you know what i mean you can't find no common ground with people in your own party but you can find common ground with people who have literally kicked the back end of democrats south carolina legend jamie harrison said they shouldn't even call themselves democrats it's the craziest thing jamie harrison james carvel james carvel is he on that what oh wow let's find that james carvel clip james carvel said they're not even democrats which sounds crazy to me because now it sounds like y'all in a coat shirt a big tent party why not embrace everybody under the tent why is it because that's the thing i don't understand well i would think why don't you get behind this popular movement that's going on that got young people that got everybody energized well i think i was having this conversation with some political people earlier because remember last week i was saying that i feel like the mondani thing is um the mondani thing is more new york rooted which is fair and i believe i still believe that but i i feel like the things that they're talking about can work nationally because all you're talking about is affordability all you're talking about is putting more money in people's pockets yeah like that will work anywhere but my thing is well you're talking about one other thing too what other thing israel oh absolutely 100 100 but to me that's just uh that's become the light all the gravity is around israel right like there's a big new york time the the episode of the daily that came out today i guess today's thursday is about what happened in the new york city elections that took place this week and you know whether the the essentially establishment democrats who by national standards are very progressive but all the establishment democrats who lost this week the single issue that defined the races was israel all over the country no in new york in new york yeah i feel like that happened that helps you in new york but not not all over the country because like in south carolina ain't nobody thinking about that thing i don't think that's an issue like that i could be completely wrong but i them older people in south carolina they're not thinking about that they're thinking about affordability i think with young people on both sides yeah throughout the country that's an issue but i i i can see that what i would say with the democratic party is just don't do the infighting publicly like why do you have to fight these people because now you just look like you you you you're not cool because to me these people are just progressives who are talking about affordability who are talking about bringing down the cost of living for people and it's working so why not just get on television say hey what happened in new york is is probably a sign of things to come all around the country people aren't happy with with the current administration they're not happy with the direction of this country people want to change why are you getting on television and attacking other democrats they're scared of what what well i mean this is how i see it i think dsa right if you look at what the official policies of dsa are you know trump called them communist they're not really that far off right like they want to make a economic level playing field where everyone kind of has the same stake in it that's never going to happen in new york right like but you need that energy on the far left to push the rest of the party in a more progressive direction which to me is great if you know new york's never going to be a totally socialist city where everybody gets the same wages america's never going to be america's never going to be that but do we need elements of that one thousand percent and if these guys are not going to be able to do that i think that's what's going to happen if these guys go so hard on the far left it'll force i hope the entire democratic party to kind of move a little bit away from the center and more in a socialist uh direction but why are the james carville's the harrison like why are these guys freaked out you know i think they see it as like existential threat to their power and i think that's very short-term thinking like they need trump's embracing the shit he knows oh my god he knows that zoron's got the the fucking as the kids would say or right now like not not only is trump embracing zoron trump is embracing speaking out against israel he's embracing speaking out against netanyahu him and jd vance i'm like how did how did democrats let trump beat them to that message yeah that's great it's unbelievable it's unbelievable i don't know so do you think it's a donor thing yes you gotta listen you gotta hold your generation of people who are tired of folks taking corporate back money no no i'm talking about for the establishment democrats why they are pushed like publicly calling out the socialists oh yes because oh you know why chris just said it because those guys the mundanis of the world and the people that he's endorsed publicly speak out against apac in the israeli government absolutely so yeah they can't they can't they gotta which is why chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries are in a tight spot right now because they've made their bed it's not a comfortable bed at the moment so my thing is if they're if they're already elected the establishment democrats right can they just stop taking pivot yeah that's what politicians do yeah but why the ones who read the room why aren't they pivoting that now we're getting into why do they all have to pivot if it's a big tent right why can't they have these fragment subsidiary groups under this whole party my whole thing is why why are y'all going at each other just not if you don't go at each other publicly you they don't have to do what they're doing they don't have to attack the progressives they don't have to attack the so-called far left bring them part of your tent then they can use somebody like a zoron and be like oh look he's democrat you support socialists communists all that stuff and now they could use a zoron in other places i've been like socialists i've been said just say it's affordability by the way the word socialist don't mean to this generation what it means to all of them old people like they're not thinking about that like that socialism to me socialism to them just means affordability which is why trump smartly to his credit isn't using socialism he's using communism he's trying to communism is great take it there communism is great they just got to switch it at some point somebody at some point somebody got to be dsa dick suckers anonymous bro like whoever comes out and says they're dick suckers anonymous i mean i think the republicans do that every time that's my point convention that should be their tsa lindsey graham can lead the charge okay that could be their version of ds oh it's not anonymous in his case at this point i mean come on man what else we got taylor gang what else

about this according to the internet i talk about anything jay-z i have not gotten my checks yet i would love to get a check can i get a check shoot y'all get paid to talk about things why can't i get paid to talk about things a rock nation mouthpiece rock nation mouthpiece baby as if rock nation needs a mouthpiece what is this beautiful that the real reason jay grew out his hair was to show blue that her hair was like his hair let me rewind and tell you some backstory our daughter was about five and she wasn't feeling very confident about her hair at that time when she told her father that it inspired jay to grow out his hair we really wanted her to love and embrace every inch of her gorgeous curls it also inspired blue to be the voice of the award-winning book her love by matthew a cherry as well as songs like formation baby hair and afros and brown skin girl and who would have thunk all of this healthy hair could grow beyond that low-cut caesar with the deep waves what you doing chris got a take on this you can't have a take on no black person black hair is crazy i have a take as a middle-aged man how's that you got a take as a middle-aged man middle-aged jewish asian man as a jewish asian middle-aged man this guy is god's whatever god it is most highly favored how at now i'm 55 years old okay i believe he's almost exactly one 56 i think 56. his hairline is immaculate oh you hate it no oh that's no no no no no i'm not hating i'm considered to have a good hairline for my age all right i'm nowhere near in the same world as this guy i don't think that's hate that's appreciation i don't know i'll tell you i know how does he i know a lot of older people are great like damian lemon has a fantastic headline i'm a hairline yeah but he's he's in his 40s i mean not damian by my age you're almost 55 56 or a hairline is deep i mean you're not going to be able to do that you're not going to be able to do that you're not going to find a lot of guys out there google would cause his hair loss in hairlines taylor i guarantee a lot of it is stress a lot of it is probably genetic no he does have a great hair like what like a 10 out of 10 yeah but he's always had that maybe he did the transplant when it started getting a little i don't think so he's i'm gonna tell you something else has his hairline always been it's always been so he's used the same barber forever okay all right i know his barber right he's used the same barber forever that that plays a major part in it what cause it's generally you're on your mother's side was my understanding your mother's father is the indicator of what your hairline is going to look like hair loss in men is primarily caused by genetics and a sensitivity to a male hormone called dht which gradually shrinks hair follicles other major culprits include stress see not too much of that nutritional deficiencies autoimmune disorders and overly tight hairstyles he's never had that like i don't i don't get it all right type in what percentage of 56 what percentage of 56 is your hairline going to look like this what percentage of mid-50s men chris you hate it i don't it's not hate you wish you had his acknowledgement i'm acknowledging it what percentage of 50 something men still have a full hairline that's crazy that's just what percentage of 50 years can still do a pull-up but men what percentage thinking only 15 okay none of that that just says 15 to 50 only 15 of men age 50 to 59 maintain a completely full unreceived hairline so 15 it's not crazy all right i'll shut up i thought i was going to be closer to one or two and by the way you only know if you can still grow your hairline out when you do it you understand what i'm saying like meaning meaning more of us like if you try if i tried to grow mine out right now now type in what percent of 50 something year old men have a full hairline and no grays yo you know you hate it I hate it, hate it. Type that in. I didn't see Graze in it. But even if he did, when you die, what's wrong with that? Yeah, he's using the fat Joe. I'm out here as God planned it, man. You're not a rapper. You have no appearances to keep up, Chris. Like, if you had appearances to keep up, you might do it a little differently. Okay, fair enough. I don't see the problem. Like, what are we talking about here? I didn't know you could take out dreads that's been growing for that long. Oh, come on. You can do that. No, no, no. I thought, like, when it's that thick, or what's it called? The wicks? It's a long process. I know the wicks you could do that. No, no, it's a very, very, very long process. I mean, I've seen that happen before. I don't. No, they put something in it. That's just a creed. For what it's worth, I have heard that people really like that product. I don't want to hate on the product specifically. Why people want me to be getting paid from Roc Nation, man? Huh? Why is that? Can we get paid from Roc Nation? Yeah. Tell them, sets of checks this way. But why would I be getting paid from Roc Nation? I saw this, I saw a post, I'm like, why am I getting paid from Roc? Why do I get paid from Roc Nation? Let me see. it says uh academics claim that his idol charlemagne speaks for and defends rock nation you know what was so funny about that post he was speaking for and defending drake when he's telling me that i'm speaking for and defending rock nation all i did was give y'all some game last week as to why i thought the outrage for the target you know target shit was some bullshit that's it like i didn't it's a difference between uh spewing facts of the matter and having an opinion like the reason myself or wayno or b dot sound the same because a fact is a fact like there are other people in target who have that same exact exclusive vinyl situation why they didn't get no smoke and why why can nobody but nobody i don't want somebody to answer the question like instead of you know jumping out there and being like oh my god they all got the same talking points could somebody answer the question like no why didn't j cole get smoked when his he had the exclusive vinyl you know whatever for the for the fall off like why didn't kindred get smoked when he had the exclusive vinyl for gnx like what what why why not i don't know i don't understand it man but the thing is crazy it's like you're on a podcast you we talk about what's in the news and if that's a subject in the news that we're going to talk about it like i don't think rock nation paid you to cover something that's on the news while you're on a podcast talking no they didn't but if they did hey wow me and christy to get a little something while we're here i'm looking up target's exclusive vinyl right now to see who else i told you kendrick i don't see oh kendrick gnx yeah j cole to fall off uh lynn manuel miranda's in there i might give a fuck when was this right now right now you can go there right now i thought taylor swift would be a little bit more of an ally she's in there prince in the revolution you don't gotta say now while we're here can i be but why are we snitching on the other people it's not snitching that's the whole point this is just jay's getting business as usual why are you guys snitching everybody else page one of 50 so 50 pages worth of artists currently have exclusive miles davis jay cole but are we even still boycotting target fleetwood mac is this still a boycott on target because i have no idea i don't know but what i would like to do is i want to shout out the view because i was on the view earlier this week and i took lauren la rosa with me because i feel like lauren la rosa has a future in daytime television like whatever daytime tv is going i was gonna say does daytime tv have a future though yes okay uh especially if you got a show like the view right and the reason i say because if you got a show like the view because the view is live right and if when you scale it down it it might it might cost a lot to produce now but that's a show that you can scale down put those ladies right here on a panel and you know let them go at it but i bought lauren la rosa with me because i feel like you know whatever daytime tv is going to look like in the future lauren la rosa will be part of a big part of it so i did the view this week how important is the audience element to you like is that the same show in a studio without an audience because when you talk about the production expense around these sort of shows i would think that's a big part of it right filming filming it not only live but in front of an audience i don't i mean i i don't care either way i think sometimes you can get caught up in the performativeness of to get a reaction commentary right one that you have um an audience like i can be on a show like that say something and everybody be like you know and it don't bother me because of radio and podcasting like i'm not going to be on a show like that i don't say things to get a reaction i say things because you know that's what it is that we do but we i did the view this week also man the wall street journal did a great article on me called how charlemagne the god mastered the modern media era oh yeah i saw that yeah so i'm just saying all that to say when you see me talk to the worldwide nigga net just know i am so versatile baby i can go from the view to the wall street journal the chicks move in a heartbeat okay i was watching chicks move this week and i saw some good shit that chicks chicks move put me on to some shit man because and uh we're gonna i'm gonna get back to that academics tv post in a second that's why i want to talk about this because um chicks move talked about how george the win how do you pronounce it chris i believe it's win george win aka grand was well first of all it was two posts right it was two posts that chick talked about where's the first one that oh yeah this first one it's a picture of george make sure to post this on the video it's a picture of george says george aka grand wizard chattanooga the man behind academics tv is photographed in australia dodging process servers multiple lawsuits loom along with possible criminal charges tied to a multinational crackdown on crypto-fueled gambling and money laundering then it was another post and the post said george win aka grand wizard chattanooga the man behind academics tv is photographed in australia being served one of multiple lawsuits he's facing along with possible criminal charges tied to a multinational crackdown on crypto-fueled gambling and money laundering now i saw chicks move talk about those two posts and then i saw two articles that came out this week one was from who is this website it's a guy named dalton jackson senior systems and culture writer at inverse wire okay and the headline is pay no attention to the grand wizard behind the curtain and there's a picture of drake and aiden ross and it says five lawsuits say the bets were rigged the screams were bought and even the chat losing his mind was a hire inside the machine that manufactures drake now drake drake according to this article on inverse it says according to a stack of class action lawsuits filed across five states this spring almost none of what you just watched was real and it's talking about these bets that happen on what are what website i think uh state cash was one of the ones polymarket if it's the same article i read basically what it was insinuating or claiming maybe not even insinuating is they have celebrities influencers oh it is think yes yeah go on go live right and you you watch them making bets in real time yeah and then it looks like obviously they're hitting and they're like i think the term read the article i can read i can read that one oh read it yeah it says picture the scene because you've already seen it a hundred times drake gold dripping leaning into aiden ross's webcam a six-figure number on a slot screen the real spin they land the number doubles then doubles again and the chat detonates into a wall of fire emojis and he's done it he's done it he's done it he's done it different a millionaire wins a million more live while a few hundred thousand kids watch and quietly do the math if that's easy for him maybe it's that easy for me now here's the part that should make your stomach drop according to a stack of class action lawsuits filed across five states this spring almost none of what you just watched was real not the bet not the win not even the chat losing its mind the whole thing the single most successful gambling marketing engine of the decade may have been an elaborate piece of theater put on by a betting company whose signature is that it doesn't actually bet it says start oh it says the screen you're sold on is stake.us and stake.us is not a casino in the way you think it's a sweepstakes platform a legal costume that lets a gambling company operate in states where real money online gambling is flatly illegal the mechanism is a shell game of two fake currencies there are gold coins which you can buy in bundles but which are worth nothing and can never be cashed out just for fun and there's state cash which you're technically only ever given for the first time in your life for free a single state cash on a daily login bonus and which can be redeemed for real money at a dollar a piece the legal magic word is no purchase necessary you don't buy the gambling you buy the worthless coins and the valuable coins come free and air quotes on the side wink so this this is my question with this whole situation is okay let's say you want to bet with a casino on an nba game right in theory vegas has set the line for that game and all these other sporting events based on what a panel of experts or observers have you know we think the knicks are you know going to win by three and there's not a lot of variability right like maybe i don't really bet but like between different uh casino sites maybe a little fluctuation but it's pretty solid based on what everyone's opinion is so the example they're using in this article is when is uh what was drake's album called ice man ice man when's ice man going to come out right who's determining what the actual odds are right there's not a panel of you know if you're betting an nba game you're like well you know historically this team has performed this well in this setting and this person's injured and this person's playing and when they're on the road there's no i don't know what the term is there's no sort of information to quantify a bet like that against yes so i want you to hold that thought chris right they have a part in this article it says how the trap is baited for kids specifically it says this is the part worth being angry about because it isn't subtle the audience for these streams skew young and male aiden ross's core demographic is teenagers and early 20-somethings and the machinery is tuned to that audience's exact psychology runs on parasocial trust a kid doesn't believe a banner ad but he believes drake and he believes the screamer he's watched for a thousand hours and runs on live stream immediacy it's happening right now on camera you can't fake that which is precisely the instinct the staging exploits it runs on giveaways the screamer flinging free state cash into the chat to get a first taste in the door and it runs through that sweepstake loophole that lets the whole thing skate past the age gates and state bans a real sports book would slam into twitch band gambling content from unlicensed sites back in 2022 and said the quiet part out loud in this reasoning the influence on younger viewers stake has since been formally accused of targeting young users through exactly these influences so the funnel is a rigged win performed by a trusted face paid for by the house broadcast on a channel the house owns aimed at the demographic least equipped to spot the difference between a man gambling and a man acting like he's gambling the kid copies the only part he's allowed to see with the only money in the equation that's actually real is now can i bring you back around to george because they mentioned george in this article and now it's all starting to make sense see this is what i don't understand about you george you george when i gave academics some information that you had got cornered by investigators and you were you know telling investigators you get your marching orders from mack and drake i ain't know nothing about none of this shit my intel was completely off they told me that it was him taking money from politicians or some shit like that when when you sent that message to whoever you sent that message to and you said could you please not post my picture you know uh because charlemagne's mentioning crypto and i don't want to get my house raided i wondered why crypto had you so goddamn spooked and now it makes all the sense in the world it says right here and the winnings paid for the applause here's where the loop closes on itself and gets only strange the lawsuits alleged those rigged casino winnings weren't only for show they were a laundering rail money allegedly moved through stakes encrypted tipping feature described in the complaints as a wholly encrypted and substantially unregulated tool perfect for pushing untraceable crypto to people you'd rather not be caught paying and who got paid bot operators the suits claim the proceeds financed screaming farms that pumped out millions of fake plays of drake's catalog bending spotify's algorithm faking a culture-wide consensus manufacturing the very stardom that made the casino deal valuable in the first place a rigged casino generates fake wins the fake wins fund fake streams the fake streams manufacture real fame the real fame sells the casino a perfect circle that never once touches reality which brings us finally to the man behind the curtain who you genuinely cannot make this up goes by grand wizard george win an australian named as a defendant allegedly runs the academics tv account and operates in the chat under that handle the filings cast him as the operational hinge the guy who converts the state crypto to cash okay lies on with the bot vendors and coordinates narratives the paid clips the manufactured phrase the slander of rival artists the synthetic chat hype that makes the stage moment feel organic and per the leaked chat logs the complaints lean on the wizard wasn't freelancing he was allegedly taking his marching orders straight from drake and dj academics the hype man for the hype was himself a hire george win named in the lawsuits as the operator oh script away the crypto rails and the bot farms and what you're left with is almost petty two grown famous men allegedly running a burner a finsta the academics tv account and the grand wizard handle function per the filing and the leaked logs as a deniable sock puppet a back room where the biggest artists alive and one of rap media's loudest voices could manufacture their own applause seed their own talking points and quietly knife rival artists without ever putting their names on the knife sit with that image for a second drake allegedly paying a guy in oscaria to run his hate account that isn't a power move it's a confession about how thin the real thing must feel from the inside that the most successful artists of his generation would rather rent a crown rent a crowd than risk finding out he doesn't have one now drake definitely has a crowd well you're not gonna let's not get crazy yeah i don't he definitely has he wouldn't have to resort to that i don't know if he did or he didn't but he definitely has an audience is this just what everything's going to look like in the future that all the information we get is going to be basically an artificial loop maybe you know i'm just that that article is inverse wire by dalton jackson senior systems and culture writer don't get mad at charlamagne okay that article is out there and it actually is this but that's not it guys that is not fucking it okay no that is not it there was an article that came out this week also in the wall street journal nobody's on my bad side i promise you nobody's on my bad side i'm just proving a point and the point is i told y'all motherfuckers a couple weeks ago i literally told him i told act a couple weeks ago this shit was coming down the pipe i didn't know it was all of this shit though yeah i didn't know i didn't know nothing about none of this shit i just once some of this worries me because a lot of these streamers they gamble at the same time while they're on stream well so like i'm wondering yeah like they're always like you know they'll roll the roulette or they're playing 21 or something like that while they're streaming the whole time so it's like i'm wondering are these real sites that they're i have no idea gambling on can you get in trouble for that of course yeah this this is some crime what's the crime you got just the money laundering and all that no no i'm talking about like if you are pretending that you're gambling but on just like a dummy i mean i'm sure at some i'm sure i mean i'm not the legal scholar here i'm just reading the articles man the wall street journal has you know first of all this article is by katherine long caitlin ostrov neil meta and brenna t smith right this is in the wall street journal and this is why y'all don't be knowing nothing and y'all be thinking people be signing crazy because y'all don't read i literally saw a motherfucker say if you put it in an article charlamagne will believe it no if you put it in an article charlamagne will read it and he'll take in information the reason y'all don't know shit is because y'all don't read read a little bit this article is the headline is this on wall street journal they looked like they were getting rich on polymarket but none of it was real oh yeah the prediction market has flooded social media with deceptive videos by paid creators according to a wall street journal investigation bro what this guy looks like he just won six thousand dollars except he didn't this is not a real bet neither is this one or this one the people who made those videos were paid by polymarket to promote fake bets and fake wins to make money on their website we analyzed over a thousand videos like these and found that the bets shown in all of them were faked bro there's no way this is real right now take this video for example this guy looks like he's spending two hundred dollars betting that trump is going to say the words april fools during the first week of april now this market is supposed to close in april but the data in the chart goes all the way through may and then they show a video of trump that video is actually from march of last year anyone who made this bet in real life lost money take a look at this one if you zoom in on the url you'll notice that the site isn't polymarket but p-o-i-y market.com influencers who have worked with polymarket told us that the company gave them a password to access the website so that they can create real looking trades they're supposed to film their videos and send them to polymarket for review and if a video is not engaging enough or if it's obviously faked they have to re-film it but the mock-ups still aren't perfect sometimes you'll see a generic polymarket.com source credit on the fake website that's not on the real one or it'll miss little things like a green arrow that shows the change in a percentage for a market on a real polymarket browser the tab is always the name of the market but here it's just polymarket oh how does this even make sense all these fake wins are part of a campaign that's gotten over 140 million views that's thanks in part to an army of content producers that polymarket pays to repost the videos all over social media after we started reaching out to these creators many of them deleted all of their posts from their accounts or started disclosing that they work for polymarket when we reached out to polymarket a spokesperson told us that the company is committed to maintaining accurate and transparent markets and that they're conducting an audit of their promotional content but these videos are still out there wait what now mind you that stuff that i just basically what i read in the inverse article is uh is in the wall street journal article but this is what i found interesting it says they have a section where it says insider influencers polymarket and virality and virality is the clipper site right yeah targeted dozens of videos by aiden ross a 25 year old manosphere phenom with millions of followers for promotion ross has a multi-million dollar deal with polymarket.com according to a person familiar with the negotiations and he averages a half hour per week on his live stream scrolling through polymarket and commenting on potential trades in at least five of the videos ross identified ways he could use inside information to trade on the platform in one video targeted for promotion ross said he could easily use inside information to trade on the release date of a forthcoming album from the hip-hop artist drake who is ross's acquaintance right that's what i read representatives for ross and drake declined to comment smart men very smart men people george you can learn a lot from uh drake and aiden ross it is okay to shut the up right Internal materials show that Polymarket and Virality promote videos showing how easy it is to conduct insider trades on the platform. Polymarket has paid Clippers to promote at least 19 videos discussing opportunities to use inside information or other tactics to manipulate markets. Polymarket said it prohibits trading based on stolen information, illegal tips, or information obtained in breach of a duty of trust, confidentiality, or other legal obligation. It added that Polymarket's market integrity framework includes trade monitoring, on-chain transparency, reporting channels, and escalation processes to detect, review, and respond to suspicious activity. Where appropriate, we engage with regulators and law enforcement to support the integrity of our markets. Why did I read all of that? I read all of that because. You're petty. No. It came to my attention on Shebang. Okay, you know Shebang where everybody's hot and wiping themselves off? Okay, maybe they're sweating because the heat is on, right? I don't know. But in Shebang, Drake says, Shorty keep asking the date she trying to finesse Polymarket for bread. Now, I want you to think about everything I just read, Wall Street Journal and everything, and then connect the dots to that verse. And this is not an indictment of Drake in any way, shape, or form. I'm just wanting Drake and academics to know the people they surround themselves with are idiots. Because Academics TV heard me also say what I just said on Breakfast Club and played an edited version. This is what he said. This is what I said on Breakfast Club. I referenced the Wall Street Journal article. In the Wall Street Journal article, let me go back to the headline. It says, They looked like they were getting rich on Polymarket, but none of it was real. Right? And then, I talked about the Polymarket and virality thing where they targeted dozens of videos. And I said, representatives for Ross and Drake declined to comment. And then I quoted the verse from Shebang. Shorty keep asking the date she trying to finesse Polymarket. Look how they edited this on Academics TV. Oh, let me read you the headline. Charlemagne accuses Drake of committing a white-collar crime. Do you not understand how much you're telling on people? You're telling on your own people? Even if it's not the truth. Even if the story is not real. And these are just all crazy, wild accusations and allegations. Because that's all they are at the moment. Why would you bring attention to it by clipping it and putting that headline? Because if the feds are actually. Watching. Or some type of law enforcement is actually watching. Trust me when I tell you, they're actually watching. Why would you, who's connected to these people, Academics TV, George Wynn. Why would you post this headline? And look at the caption. Bruh's new fear-mongering talking points dropped. And they want you to think Jay-Z did nothing wrong partnering with Target. But Drake is now committing federal crime. Sometimes shouting out Polly Market. Who's bros? Me. Oh, like bros? Yes. Play it, Taylor. Play it, Taylor. The market ran a deceptive marketing campaign that paid creators to bet on Drake's album release date. And in that song, he said, shorty, he's asking the date. He's trying to finesse Polly Market for bread. First white-collar crime confessed. You know what you cut out? You cut out the fact that I was quoting an article from the Wall Street Journal. You did that on purpose. Because you don't want to direct nobody to that article. You don't want to direct nobody to that article. in the wall street journal which is why it is okay george to shut the fuck up because if you don't post this on academics tv then i don't come on brandy's podcast and read all of that shit and direct people where they should go get this information well don't shut all the way we're getting a lot of content we're getting a lot of content i'm sorry if i'm mispronouncing your last name but i don't have no issue with none of these people i just keep wondering why the fuck my name keep coming up i i don't know i wanted the same thing why do they keep doing this grant jay-z billboard says jay-z got the uh number seven song of the year and i don't even agree with that but because it's not a song yeah it's not a song like i said if they were talking about just music moments yes that's one of the top music moments of the year but i can't put that as the number seven song of the year and the highest charting rap song not the charting but billboard said it's the biggest i guess they're saying it's the biggest rap song of 2026 so far it's not a song like i can name a few other songs that i think should be ahead of uh jay-z roots picnic freestyle even though i enjoy jay-z roots picnic freestyle but he billboard says that and somehow or another it becomes hold on can i read the headline why why y'all get mad when i want to have some how come when i want to have a little fun and i want to talk about it i don't want to talk about it i don't want to talk about it i don't want to talk and and and respond to things i can't do it why why is that you gotta be peace online it is peace who said this it's not who's not having peace online i'm about to leave for 10 days and i'm not gonna give a fuck about what y'all talking about academic says it hurt my heart watching my hip-hop media idol charlamagne spit rock nation talking points i'm speechless i was proud of joe budden though at least he's not on script even though he def loved him some whole the rest of y'all shills i don't care y'all voices ain't loud enough rock nation finna pull a political alignment this year they got all their puppets working hard they got all their puppets calling any criticism smear campaigns do not be fooled these people are evil act i'm telling you this this don't have nothing to do with smear campaigns this has to do with crypto and these betting markets and that's the actual issue that everybody should be worried about y'all y'all focused on the wrong things if y'all think that this is people coming at you know uh these pages because of criticism and by the way there's a thin line between uh criticism and defamation too so you also gotta always walk that line as well so i don't know what all of these lawsuits y'all got are about but i know five of them according to the wall street journal and inverse wire.com got to do with crypto so that's all i'm saying pray for everybody man i ain't praying for nobody okay i wake up in the morning to pray for being my people by the way i don't have and i really want y'all to understand this i don't have no issue with none no none of these folks i'm just simply saying if y'all gonna put out narratives at least put out the right narratives because to me it looked like y'all must be trying to get folks jammed up when i hear stories that y'all were talking to investigators and y'all were telling investigators that y'all were getting y'all marching orders from ack and drake and then i start seeing the wall street journal and inverse wire and you getting served and they're saying that you're part of some multinational crypto ring it all starts to add up to me well i mean if the wall street journal's reporting that you're part of some multinational reporting on it that means it's only the tip of the iceberg right oh yeah that's the other thing too could i say one more thing by all means let me say one more thing the thing i don't understand is like you were just trying to look out it's unbelievable and all of a sudden i'm the person behind this meanwhile wall street journal said they did an investigation act said that td not tde act said that uh that that kendrick's manager said they had pi's on them right you you you were in a mission with with rock nation what else did he say somebody else i'm missing um oh this is what i'm getting at oh wall street yeah i just said wall street journal did an investigation oh did the uh the age media outlet in australia said they did an investigation but then i saw meek meek what did meek say let me find meek's tweet meek so funny hold on where's meek's tweet man oh i know what you're talking about you know i'm talking about yeah hold on it was kind of like who is this guy where is it man somebody taylor you're the producer don't nobody ever want me to have fun i'm saying why why can't i ever have fun everybody's like oh no child man you shouldn't say why can't i have a little fun why can i not go from the view well i mean it's journal to the worldwide nigger net it's fun but it also speaks to a much bigger issue that we're all facing which is insider trading and the manipulation of the stock market and that's the shit that has me worried why are you doing that shit i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i play by the book let me be very clear about that no i play by no but i'm panicking because i'm watching what i feel like is a lot of these stocks and a lot of these companies being artificially inflated in terms of their value oh yeah due to insider trading and manipulation of the stock market and then you factor in all the crypto which has been completely unregulated like sure this is culturally interesting to us but it's like also a very small little piece of this larger thing that we're all kind of ensnared in right now but then is it even anything wrong with what they're doing and and in their defense if i'm one of these kids who's doing this on polymarket or one of these sites and i see trump and his treasury department doing a version of it yeah why would i think there's anything wrong with what i'm doing this is the new reality you don't have the protections that trump and his people well and then that's what you find out when you get in a little too deep that you know meek said who is grand wizard i've been hearing about you for a minute i've used claude and real investigators to ask why my screams declined 89 not normal in 2024 it pointed me to academics campaign screams are back normal by the way academics we need answers tap in remember i said we're going to follow everything because it's all documented on the net this is all i'm saying man this is all i'm saying that's funny though i asked claude why my streams are down it's funny hilarious but i'm adding meek and claude to the the the line of investigators okay meek and claude are on the list of how how y'all get to meet how am i behind any of this but this is what i will say um act let's have the conversation because i don't want to see any of y'all talking about you know people are getting paid to support and defend folks because the reality is you have an ovo chain so you're supporting and defending drake because you feel like drake should be higher on this billboard top 50 songs thing and and and by the way i might can agree with that like i don't i don't think jay-z's root picnic freestyle should have been on there because it's not a song but you jumped out the window defending that i don't want to hear about none of that i want to hear about this talk to me about your boy grand wizard being mentioned in all of this crypto shit talk to me about that i ain't even pointing at drake with this shit because like drake could just be a person who you know is caught up in a situation that he don't even know nothing about sometimes you can get caught up in these you know deals with companies and not really truly know what's going on i don't know i'm just shooting bail i have no idea can i ask a question like are drake and jay-z even really competitors at this point because that's how it's being framed to me it's some it's like rock nation drake and i'm like and admittedly i'm not tapped in on any of this shit but like i feel like jay-z's if not retired like he won it's over chris jay-z's been home right so already home and what home for a long what is he fighting for fighting over like that would that's what doesn't i think that there's this for paying people to to go out and like i still think these celebrities they have big egos they they don't like each other i don't they've not like that they've not liked each other i don't believe that i think that you're buying into the internet narrative but i don't think subliminal shots at jay all the time who say it again drake takes subliminal shots at exactly but i don't think jay thinking about drake but i mean but he referenced him in a million shots at him on ice man so that's what i'm saying so so clearly if i had a head of hair like that i wouldn't give a shit if i was 56 years old with the head of hair like that you can say whatever you want that's the other thing too i see people saying i wonder if drake's going to reply to jay-z drake has already said what he said drake replied to i mean jay-z replied to drake and why shouldn't he he's outside it's the 30 year anniversary of reasonable doubt his first album the album that laid the foundation for everything i promise you in 20 years 20 however many years when uh so far gone is 30 years old drake is going to celebrate that too yeah it's going to happen he might celebrate it even sooner when when is the 10 year anniversary of so far gone 2000 that's probably already happened right that's your past 2004 maybe 20 year anniversary is so far gone drake should celebrate that why wouldn't you why wouldn't you celebrate your first mainstream project 2009 so it'll be 29 so 2029 will be 20 years you don't think drake's gonna celebrate i think it could be something as simple as drake just wanted this to be his year and just him alone and i think they're probably just a little ego that they're like yo jay's stepping on my rollout he wanted the 30 year interview we're i'm just yo i'm i know it don't make sense but i'm just saying you know how they are 25th but you know how they we're recording this on june 25th the album came out june 25th 1996 when i leave here i'm going to the pop-up shop and i'm gonna go to the pop-up shop and i'm gonna go to the pop-up shop and i'm gonna and i better get a fucking discount in fact i better not pay for nothing since i'm on the employee you're getting employed do i get an employee discount oh yeah i should right huh there you come i don't know nothing about no discount i don't like you know i don't know i know what i'm going to get wait taylor's come out with a cup i'm going i'm going to that as soon as i leave here yeah that shit is what's up man in fact it's close to that eight o'clock i'm going to that right there okay but i'll say this no act for real let's have the conversation after after i see you do you actually mean that though because oh well not with george no would you have a combo with george with act no i don't know i don't know why do i need to have a conversation with george when i have a conversation with that because i don't want to talk to the public no matter i need to know who the puppet master is which one is the puppet of the puppet master what came first the academics tv or the academics whoa i'm just asking questions i need to know i want to know so you and act need to have a conversation yes i mean we did we had a conversation we had a fucking two and a half no conversation i thought we were very clear and we talked after that apparently it don't seem like shit is clear well you know it don't seem like shit is clear and we don't need this this is messy what what is messy this is messy alex none of this is messy i mean i gave act a heads up on some stuff yeah and now this stuff is coming to a head and i think it's gonna get worse it looks it looks like it i think and i tried to give him a heads up too and he knows i did and and george why the fuck were you wearing a lakers hoodie you should have had on a toronto raptors hoodie what type of team member are you what type of team fucking player are you when you wearing the ops favorite basketball team this shit is insane this shit is insane but no putting the button on it by saying i and me and i can have the conversation publicly if you want to because i want to know i got it i got happy right here i got questions i want to know about this stuff i ain't seen none of y'all talking about this stuff i ain't seen none of y'all talking about this shit stop deflecting from this stuff i want to know about these headlines at the wall street journal act and inverse you and charlotte and everybody else is talking about please because this is come on come on man listen i have no i have none then it was another one i saw some other this is some other paperwork i don't know what the fuck this is but once again i just want to know i want to know about this i'm gonna read these two headlines again that we can pay some bills and move on but inverse wire.com says pay no attention to the grand wizard behind the curtain five lawsuits say the bets were rigged the screams were bought and even the chat losing its mind was a hire inside the machine that manufactures drake grand wizard is mentioned in that george win act i want to hear you talk about that and the wall street journal article is they looked like they were getting rich on polymarket but none of it was real the prediction market has flooded social media with deceptive

didn't play the view clip nah what was the view clip you said oh you said when you went on with Lauren oh I mean we got clips you want to play a clip Taylor we can play a clip from the view why not oh but why do you think daytime television is going to last if I didn't say daytime television I said that shows like the view I mean you already see that you know like Kelly Clarkson went away Sherri Shepherd went away Tamron Hall is still on the reason I think the view is going to last is because it's live I think live is the only thing that's going to survive the future of any of these meetings that's why I think what Netflix is doing with Breakfast Club is dope because we're on live every day you know 6am to 9am like you know they can tune in and watch us and not only are they watching us on the air they're watching us behind the scenes just kicking it in the studio but I just feel like that was that was just the original podcast that's just the podcast what the view? yeah yeah but that's what I mean like right now the view lives on like four different platforms yeah but I'm saying if you take away the live element I think it's the same show no you keep it live I would keep it live you just scale all you do is scale down the production right and you still keep it live well that's why I asked about the audience maybe a smaller audience I mean it's just gonna I hate to say that because I love I love these crews that make up these shows you can't do these shows without these amazing crews but there's gonna come a point where these you know companies and these networks gonna have to scale down and you can keep a show like the view on simply because it's a live show like and the view comes on ABC linear it comes on Hulu Disney Plus and it goes out on YouTube and you got the social media clips like they're living like a they're living like a breathing live show should live so I think that's why I think the view will be around and I mean like I said I think people like Lauren LaRosa in the future man Lauren is whatever whatever daytime TV looks like in the future Lauren LaRosa is gonna be a part of what's this clip Taylor Lauren's great well I was definitely putting out for the ball spot but play it and play the ball spot one let's see play oh no I sent the view clip that I had what clip did you have the one where the guy called you anti-semitic oh shit yeah play that one oh my god that was crazy why did he just be throwing what's up with y'all there's something why do people let me talk to all the people in the comments saying very anti-semitic shit about me I don't know if you caught that no I don't be reading the comments I read him tiny hat the fuck is that that's crazy that's crazy no that's not even that's OG anti-semitism never heard it no that was not a slur that's like never heard it and then I went to the doctor's today I'm talking to the doctor the entire time and he bends over to he was looking at some shit in my mouth he bent over and he had on a little hat and I was like oh shit tiny hat yeah now you guys have infested me with this bullshit yeah this guy here but that was not bad that's love tiny hat yeah it doesn't feel like love it's like what's this guy's name I'm telling you the little tiny hat that they wear what does that say Chris Nicholas what he thinks it's not a bad Fondacaro Fondacaro does not feel like love to me I checked with my other Jew friends why wouldn't you say nice hat because it's not that small it is tiny I'm gonna have to call my no you're gaslighting me right now no I'm really you're trying to I'm telling you Taylor type in tiny hat I thought it was a slur is tiny hat a slur no it's not it's not tiny hat is a slur I heard it was there's no way you're gonna twist this I was at a Jewish wedding two weekends ago no I was like yo can you put on I had a tiny hat on and they said you can say it no I swear no alright baby they gave me the tiny hat pass damn I think it's a slur yes tiny hat is frequently used as an anti-semitic dog and we're not editing this this is a teachable moment teachable moment we're not editing this I'm glad I'm glad we addressed this no you're the anti-semitic over here I'm not I don't want that no the listeners let me tell you something y'all ain't gonna ever make me hate my Jewish folk thank you okay alright but this is this is go to glossary of anti-semitic terms man my people told me wrong I just I just want to see which one of these I actually I thought it was all love I think that we got people gotta stop throwing the word anti-semitic around so loosely though like just because you criticize B.B. Netanyahu and the Israeli government doesn't mean that you're anti-semitic like people gotta stop saying that that's what this guy said that's why he called me anti-semitic right but you what you saw in New York this week with the elections is an actual example of that right where you had I believe it's the 10th congressional district Goldman versus my guy Brad Landers who won Brad won both Jewish I've gone to synagogue with Brad Landers I've gone to his synagogue you're a big Brad guy you've been a Brad guy I've been a Brad guy since day one I really like the guy just having met him seen him around the community he's very Jewish but he's also very much against what's happening right now in Israel and he's and he's not afraid to articulate that and just the way that I said earlier I think it's good for now tell you you got listeners you can't see this but I was just assaulted with like 10 very anti-semitic images on the fucking screen right now words what is it what is it stupid hand down anti-semitic words and images what the fuck was that that was crazy that shit made my skin crawl just now what the fuck was that god dang that was triggering I'm sorry you had to deal with that Chris but what did you say about Brad I'm just saying like my you know personally I've always been critical or tried to be critical of Israel as a Jew as a tiny hat really government government policy because I believe if there's just blanket support then people and governments and policies tend to drift towards radical positions and there has to be a balance there has to be people criticizing even within Israeli context the left and the right so you can achieve the balance in the middle and I think it is fair to say like if you look at what happened in New York with Brad Landers he's very Jewish I can personally attest to that he cares deeply about Jews he's not in any way anti-Semitic but he's very critical of the Israeli government and I think he had a quote where he basically said I'm very much against the genocide in Palestine or Gaza but I'm also very much against anti-Semitism and bigotry and those are both the same job that's how he phrased it it's both the same job why can't and why can't you why can't you have that mindset well I think you can and it literally just won which was what was encouraging about it but what's discouraging to me personally I'm only speaking for Chris Morrow right now is that his victory was a framed nationally as a victory for anti-Semitism and I don't I don't think that's true calling out Bibi Netanyahu and the Israeli government right and saying that Bibi Netanyahu and the Israeli government you know whatever whatever your criticism of that is that doesn't make you anti-Semitic no more than calling out Donald Trump or Joe Biden or any administration here in America it doesn't make you an American I can call out Donald Trump and his administration and be a proud American like that don't make me un-American because I call out an administration like what that don't make no logical sense now if you call me a tiny hat you are anti-Semitic talk to you alright that is anti-Semitic why did that one hurt you so hard because I never heard it before I thought I heard it all I thought I caught every Jewish slur and then they hit me with tiny hat and I was like I knew tiny hat I can't believe you didn't know that was a slur no one's ever said it to me that's crazy who he said a hey Arnold hat who you know hey Arnold the cartoon go back to this go back to the Instagram link man I do want people to be able to have these conversations without generalizing all Jewish people, though. That's what's making this crazy. And that's why I don't like when people say Israel. Like, say Bibi Netanyahu and the Israeli government. And just me saying that right now is going to have a bunch of people. You know what's so funny? Nicholas will say I'm anti-Semitic, but it'll be a bunch of people in my comments right now saying, See! They own Charlemagne! He works for the tiny hands. They control him. I looked this guy up, by the way. Nicholas Fonducaro, which does not sound like a Jewish name to me. Maybe he's an Italian Jew. I don't know. But my sense is his job is to watch The View to clip certain moments and try to present them in an anti-progressive, Democratic, leftist, whatever you want to call it, light. So this is just his daily 9 to 5. He's doing me like Academics TV. Right. Look what the caption. The caption says, The View welcomes anti-Semitism with open arms. The View refuses to push back when Charlemagne Tha God suggests the Jews control Trump in America. Let's hear the clip. Let's hear this anti-Semitic stuff here. They're finally speaking out on something regarding Trump. And two, is he setting vans up, you think, to take the fall? What's going on here? Man, sometimes all of this feels like a big psyop. Like they all got into a room and they said, Hey, let's do some wrestling around this Iran situation. And the reason I say that is because, yo, until you hear what Israel has to say, it does not matter. And that's just the truth. America is not in control of this situation. And I don't feel like they ever have been like, whenever they do come to some type of some type of peace agreement, Israel comes and says, no, that's not what we want. But Trump keeps telling us that Netanyahu does exactly what he wants. No, it don't seem like that. It seems like, you know, it seems like Trump is Netanyahu's puppet. So, you know, the conversation should be Israel, Iran and America. And until Israel and Iran come to an agreement, I don't think that there's going to be an agreement. Mm hmm. Awesome. So I love listening to you guys, it's so much fun. It is the same. It's kind of like a must watch TV radio for a Democratic candidate. Nicholas Fonduk, what's his name? Fondukaro. Says The View welcomes anti-Semitism with open arms. The View refuses to push back when Charlemagne Tha God suggested Jews control Trump in America. When did I say that? I'll give you a little pushback. OK. Here's the pushback. OK. I don't think Israel's completely in control or manipulating Trump 100 percent. I think a lot of the inability to get a deal done, to make sense of this, I don't think Israel is completely in control or manipulating Trump 100 percent. I think a lot of the inability to get a deal done, to make sense of this war, this situation, is also just due to ineptness on Trump's part and inexperience on his negotiator's part and not having a solid plan and surrounding himself with yes-men who won't step up and say, like, this is a bad fucking idea. But let's not be prisoners in a moment, Chris. Why are we in this war to begin? Because the Israeli, I'm going to be very specific in how I say it. The Israeli government, specifically Bibi, because I can't pronounce his last name. Netanyahu. Netanyahu, maybe. Bibi, and if you believe former presidents, which I tend to because they're coming from both sides of the aisle, they all have said now, hey, he asked us for the same thing. We said no. But in this case, he went to Trump with the same request, which is let us take off the gloves and take out Iran once and for all. I'm using air quotes. Because we've heard this before. And Trump's the first one who said yes and went along with it. Now, why did he say yes? Part of it is. Can I talk about some things that you may notice? Yes, sure. Every time something moves a little bit more forward with that situation. All of a sudden, here goes the DOJ with a little bit more of the Epstein files. Just look at the pattern. Every single time there is. Hey. Hey. Hey. This from the Epstein files is coming out. Just a little bit further. Whenever it seems like he's about to push back against the Iran situation. That's not fair, man. Why not? He knew Epstein was a bad guy. Yes, they were best friends for over a decade. But he knew he was a bad guy. And he cut him off. He never spoke to him again. He said he's a bad guy. At some point, he did. You can't. You can't. Just because you're a bad guy. You're best friends with somebody for 10 years who courts rich, famous men who have a soft spot for young women. Just because you hang out with that guy and he's your best friend for 10 years. Come on. This is. All I'm saying is just notice the pattern. Whenever it goes a little further or when there's either talks apiece. Yes. And then some Epstein comes out. And then there's some escalation. Did something come out this week? Yo, we forgot. I can't keep track of this. I know you can't keep track. Hold on. It was two things that came out right before there was supposed to be a peace agreement. But one came out before and then one came out right after. Hold on. Let me pull it up. But wasn't there a New York Times report that. That's the one. When Bibi went into the White House or Situation Room, whatever it was, and then convinced them. But they basically lied saying that, oh, we can topple their government and have regime change in like less than. Well, that's what. June 10th, 2026. Remember? Decide the White House freak out over the Epstein file. Right. This was the week when they first started talking about, I think, the peace treaty. Because when was the UFC fight? And that, I believe, is an excerpt from the book that I'm reading. I believe it's actually from regime change. And they remember he had the fight. He was saying because he was trying to have some type of announcement or deal done. Right. This is how basic this dude is. What are the Rome? When the Roman Empire was collapsing, they they instituted a system. Called bread and circus, which is whenever shit gets really bad, you hand out free bread and you have a free circus to distract people from what's really going on. Literally, that's what they called a bread and circus. The UFC fight was the circus. They haven't handed out the bread yet, but that was the fucking literally the circus. Like, we're going to build a circus right here on the fucking lawn of the White House to distract you from that. Now, you know, what's interesting. And I haven't gone. To this part of the book yet is. Trump's line of thinking, they say they report is we can't release it because it'll hurt my friends. Right. I believe that's the quote in the article. Yes. And didn't Pam Bondi say the same thing? Yeah. Yeah. So you would think the president United States. Seeing how much division this is causing, who are his friends that are more important than. The nation, essentially. I don't know. I don't know. I really don't know. I'm not trying to like. Pam Bondi said that if the Epstein files would ever come out, the society as we know it would collapse or something to that effect. Who could possibly be in the Epstein files that would shock you so much, that would shake your sense of. Nobody. This country. Right? Nobody. There's nobody. There's not one person that they could name in the Epstein files. Like I'm talking about legitimately naming the Epstein files, doing some dirt that would shock me. Mr. Rogers is dead. That'd be the only one. Mr. Rogers. Yeah. He's like the pure, you know, who's like a, if Obama was in it, I'd be like, all right, there's no, there's a lot of people we can be like, all right, I don't know though. I don't think that would shock me. Michelle Obama, like this, a lot of people. I mean, yeah, yeah. I mean, here's the thing. The only reason I'll tell you why I wouldn't shock me. I'll tell you why I wouldn't shock me. What if Beyonce was in there? Why do we always got to go to black celebrities? I'm pointing out people you would be shocked by. But this is what I was stressing to y'all last week. These people are not dealing. Illuminati there, the, the people like the, when you're talking about politicians and remember, remember that it was that, uh, that article that came out where they said it was six people named in the Epstein files. Remember, remember, and, and then remember those names just went away. Six people that folks never heard of. Oh yeah. Those are the people that's running the world guys. Who's the most beloved white man in America right now? The most beloved white man in America right now. Probably Charlamagne. Who? Timothee Charlamagne. Charlamagne. He's too young. Yeah, he's too, I mean, none of, see, none of those, none of those people, celebrities, people like politicians won't, won't surprise me because in my mind, I'll be like, damn, that's how they had to get where they needed to go. Nah, the Pope, the Pope. Especially the politicians. The Pope would be a shocker. No, it wouldn't. They got a history of that. I guess you're right. I can't think of the Pope as a shocker. Yeah, that wouldn't be a shocker. I can't, there's nobody. Sorry, sorry, Catholics. What could shock you in 2022? That's pro-Catholic if I would be shocked by the Pope. Nothing shocks me anymore. Nothing. Right. I think I'm too jaded to be shocked. I saw Disclosure Day last week, and I was just like, they got us a fucking gig. It's another psyop movie, right? Telling us exactly what's going on in the world, and we're still watching this shit like it's fucking fiction. In Disclosure Day by Steven Spielberg, which I thought was a great movie, by the way, they literally show you every extraterrestrial conspiracy theory that you've ever heard. They show you Roswell. Is it a movie or a documentary? It's a movie. It's a Steven Spielberg movie. They show you Richard Nixon when he took Jackie Gleason to go visit the fucking aliens. Yo. So I've always heard the story about Richard Nixon and how he met with aliens and he would show his celebrity friends aliens, right? Not all his celebrity friends, but I just, I remember seeing the story. There's a part in the movie where the woman, they're showing, the guy is showing the woman the tapes. She's like, is that Richard Nixon? And he's like, yeah. And he's like. She's like, who's the guy with him? And he goes, oh, just some celebrity he was trying to impress. So as soon as I get home, you know what I mean? I'm Googling. I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, Richard Nixon celebrity. first thing that comes up Jackie Gleason Jackie Gleason Jackie fucking and the guy in the movie looks like Jackie Gleason The Honeymooners The Honeymooners and it's a story of how Richard Nixon drove to Jackie Gleason's house in the middle of the night by himself no secret service no nothing Jackie was a big UFO guy told Jackie he said hey ride with me I want to show you something takes Jackie to some base and shows Jackie all of the extraterrestrial bodies there he goes Jackie comes home tells his wife his wife is the one that tells the story all these years later but they show you that video of him showing Jackie Gleason in the movie and that's funny he was always threatening to send his wife to the moon you see what the fuck I'm saying you see what the fuck I'm saying they show you the Roswell crash they show you the crash that happened in Pennsylvania they show you crashes that you've actually read about and heard about and they're just they finally decide to disclose it disclose it to the world this shit is ill man I'm saying all that to say nothing will surprise me because they've showed us everything already we just don't realize that we've been shown it and then when we finally look and be like oh shit I remember that from that TV show oh I remember that from that movie oh man I thought that was just a conspiracy theory no they're telling you all the quiet parts out loud and we doing like this and we'd rather talk about fucking Target deals and stupid shit it's too much going on man it is a lot going on let's do some Asking

think this amazing world could be up and distracting us from shit the government is doing no we're distracting us from shit bread and circus that world coming nothing to do with that we got so much bread on social media social media is all full of bread Charlie Marciano says do you believe in free will why why not absolutely 100% believe in free will everybody makes choices man Taylor Taylor why you speeding so much I know oh yes I believe in free will because we all have the ability to make choices I don't know if I believe everything is predestined maybe you know I think that you can still get to where it is God wants you to be you know you're just making a few detours along the way but even those detours you make help you to get to your ultimate direction so yeah I absolutely 100% believe in free will I don't believe that anybody is controlling us to do anything except for us I think that we don't listen to ourselves enough though I think that there's so much noise nowadays especially with social media especially with so many opinions about you know you or what it is that you're doing that a lot of that noise infiltrates our minds and causes us to do things that we to react to react like it's not our it's not our will at all like we're just trying to man it was a phrase I looked up earlier I heard it when I was reading oh edit your behavior I think we edit our behavior to the noise around us as opposed to just listening to the voices in our head the voice in our head which is God salute the two chains listening to that voice and that voice guiding us the way that we need to go I think I really think a lot of people edit their behavior to the voices around them like there's people right now that'll be on screen watching what their followers say are looking at their comments and they'll say to themselves hey I gotta do what my my followers told me to do I gotta do what my followers told me to do you know most of whom aren't even people most of whom aren't even people so yes a lot of people edit their behavior to um they edit their behavior to the comments and to what other people think let's do one more Taylor and then we gotta go out here

Oh my God. Nino Blue. Salute to Nino Blue. Nino Blue said, what is something you want to achieve in your lifetime that you haven't yet already? I have a couple of things, right? But to be completely honest, man, I am perfectly okay with everything I've already achieved thus far. God has blessed me tremendously. Tremendously. Everything else I'm currently doing right now is gravy. And I don't really have, I have a couple of personal goals for the future that I will do. But I like seeing everybody else in position. I like being in a position to help other people get in position. That's what is the ultimate thing for me right now. So when you say, what is something you want to achieve in your lifetime that you haven't yet already? God can just continue to amplify the territory I currently occupy and I'll be perfectly fine. And when I say amplify the territory I currently occupy, I mean being in a position to continue to put more money in people's pockets, to continue to provide opportunity for other people. That's what I want to continue to do. So I'm already doing it. So if God continues to bless me with more of that, hey, great. That's it. We good? Yeah. All right, everybody. We see y'all in 10 days. We will not be here next week. Andrew is shooting a movie and I will be on vacation minding my business. All right? So until next time, if you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. But if you think we're just a couple of idiots who don't know shit, you're right too. It's the Brilliant Idiots Podcast. Thank you for listening. Shop on repeat at Netflix House at Galleria Dallas.
