Speaker
your enemies. On today's episode, it's the Sibling Happy Hour. I'm here with my sis, Jay Andrea. We're going to be dilly-dadding a little bit, and then we're going talking about this whole controversy about Signal, and then we're going to be getting into the youth.
00:01:01
Speaker
But that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.
00:01:11
Speaker
What up, sis? What up, brother? I can't call it. I can't call it. I'm not 100% this morning, but we're going to get through it. we go Listen, i don't think that there's ever been a show where both of us are 100%.
00:01:25
Speaker
Hey, these sunday these Sunday recordings begin to me. Because it's it's like, one, I'm getting older, so I can't kick it like I used to. But yet I still feel young and want to kick it like I used to. Right.
00:01:39
Speaker
So yesterday, me, our cousin, and our brother was over at my dad's over at our dad's house watching the games. Mm-hmm. And then my two boys from that I've known since high school came over as well.
00:01:50
Speaker
And what started out to be just, you know, we just going to chill, have a couple of drinks turned into me not getting in the bed until two thirty in the morning. That's how I be. That's how it be. you know And it's so crazy.
00:02:03
Speaker
You don't see your friends that you've been friends with for decades. You don't see them for a little while. You still communicate with them almost on a daily basis through group check. but You don't see them for a little while. And then when you get together, it's just like old times. Yes.
00:02:17
Speaker
It's just like old times. Like nothing changes. It's the best. Like you pick up right where you left off. It's literally the best. I love when I have a chance to like visit a good friend of mine was here probably about two weeks ago visiting.
00:02:32
Speaker
And it's just always so nice because it's like you just pick up right where you left off. That's real friendship. That's what that is. It is real friendship. I mean, these are my brothers, you know, despite the fact that sometimes they get on my nerves, but I guess that's what siblings do. That's how siblings are. That's how siblings are.
00:02:48
Speaker
Also, you know me being the oldest, I'm always there. Don't make a noise. Don't do this. Don't do that. So growing up as kids, u I tell the story of you and our brother always,
00:03:04
Speaker
making noise in the house and dad being like, I'm glad y'all got so much energy and putting to work. yeah And it was like, y'all never learned. i was like, why can't y'all play quiet?
00:03:14
Speaker
Be quiet so dad doesn't make us do work. and Y'all would never be quiet. As soon as I heard cackling and giggling, i was like, it's only a matter of time. T minus 10.
00:03:26
Speaker
And I, I'm glad y'all got so much energy. there's some work to do around the house. I'm just sitting there playing the game. Be quiet. Being quiet. yeah So dad went to bed last night and I was like, all right, this is time to leave.
00:03:38
Speaker
but But everybody in the hair, mom going in and out of the house. Mom doesn't realize that we're recording, huh? Mom doesn't realize that we're recording. No, what mean?
00:03:49
Speaker
Because I keep hearing the chimes of the door or front door being open. Oh, it might be... a I don't hear any chimes. I do. I can hear everything on these headphones. Oh, okay. yeahs there I can hear everything. oh yeah Anyway. Oh,
Home Renovation and Independence
00:04:03
Speaker
well.
00:04:03
Speaker
So, Dad goes to bed last night, and then that's when they want to start turning on all the games. You know, Dad's basement is like Dave and Buster's got skeet-ball and pop shot. And I'm like, it's getting really loud.
00:04:14
Speaker
And our brother was like... dad can not hear us all the way up upstairs I'm like just be quiet just be quiet you don't know that just be quiet first of all air everybody get out like the host has gone to bed everybody get out That's step one.
00:04:31
Speaker
But step two, if you go stay, be quiet. Be quiet. And then it' it's just like, it's like they can't hear it. And all three, everybody, my cut our cousin, our brother and my two boys, like they can't hear.
00:04:42
Speaker
It's like 17,000 feet before you get all the way upstairs. And I'm just like, y'all just being real loud. and Just being real loud. And then um um ah my boys started joking on me last night and they was like,
00:04:55
Speaker
you are the funniest cat because you had the most leeway out of all of us growing up. Like we could drink downstairs. Your dad would come downstairs and hang out. We would go out and then you would be like, be quiet when y'all dropped me off.
00:05:10
Speaker
And I was like, yeah. And then dad was like, yeah, he had a good leash. He got a good leeway. Yeah. But, there also came consequences. It's like, yeah. And y'all didn't know what the consequences was. Y'all thought I just had cool dad, but he's cool sometimes. And then sometimes it'd be like, let's slam down the disciplinary actions here. Right.
00:05:29
Speaker
Exactly. Oh no, ah that's not our mother. I just checked my camera. We got, I got a bunch of things delivered to the house. so ah well As you know, our brother is ah building a powder room in my basement.
00:05:44
Speaker
Yeah, he he talked to me a little bit about that yesterday. So there is a toilet and open in front of my door right now. yeah
00:05:56
Speaker
So I got to bring all that inside. So that's great. Okay. well When is our brother even making the trip down there? Don't know. That's so funny. Speaking of toilets.
00:06:06
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Man, it's getting hot underneath these lights. We're in a sweatshirt in the middle of summer. We're going to get into that later. But yeah, I'm probably going ladies and gentlemen, if y'all watching this video, I guarantee you by the second, third segment, this sweatshirt is going to be off because it's hot.
00:06:23
Speaker
Speaking of toilets though, The last time my brother was here, he was like, your toilet seat is loose. And it's because the screws underneath had been loosened. Yeah. And he was like, man, it's like slip and slide trying to sit on your toilet. You you got a wrench or some pliers. I was like, you know, ain't got no tools. I don't got no tools in this house.
00:06:41
Speaker
And I had to replace my bidet anyway because it had broken. So I just had to replace it anyway. And so he said, you want me just come over and do it for you? And I said, no, I can do it.
00:06:52
Speaker
hmm. So I ordered the bidet and it came in and I ordered some tools so I could take the toilet seat off of the toilet. Yeah. And put the bidet on and and put this toilet seat back on. The video makes it seem like a very simple process. It really is. i installed two on my own. Okay.
00:07:09
Speaker
It is a simple process. However, the screws for my toilet seat are just rusted. And also... I'm big.
00:07:21
Speaker
And to get behind the toilet to take those screws off, very challenging. Yeah. I did it. Yeah. A process that should have been 15 minutes took me an hour and a half.
00:07:32
Speaker
the And I went down to the office of my building and I was like, hey, d is the maintenance in? And like, no, just for emergencies. well I was like, this might be an emergency. I need some WD-40 to loosen up these screws.
00:07:45
Speaker
And they was like, no. I was like, I'll just... to take care of myself. And they're like, are you okay? Because I came down there and I was huffing and puffing and sweating. And I was like, yeah, just trying to install my new bidet.
00:07:58
Speaker
Here's the thing. Here's the thing that I've learned. Okay. When somebody offers you to help, take it the first time. I did it myself, and I was proud of my accomplishment. I got it all. put it on I put it on, and it's great.
00:08:13
Speaker
Okay. its It's all
Sibling Roles and Crisis Management
00:08:14
Speaker
on there, and I did it all by myself. yeah That's wonderful. Right. But- Our brother could have just come over with his tools and quickly installed it for you.
00:08:24
Speaker
I'm tired of always going to our brother. I'm a grown man. Okay. But you are not mechanically inclined. Not at all. ah good Okay.
00:08:34
Speaker
You don't put stuff together, Will. I mean, I don't want to... But it's just the truth. It's the truth. I don't put stuff together well. When I move out of this place, my little fireplace, which is broke, by the way, like it don't emit any heat any anymore.
00:08:48
Speaker
It's just light. When I try and take that bad boy out, it's going fall apart because the back panels weren't put on right. So it's it's being put together by some gum and thread.
00:08:59
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. No, i'm I'm not great at this stuff, but I wanted to do it by myself. Okay. Well, I'm glad that you, you know, Succeeded. I did. I succeeded. Now my toilet seat is not a slippy side anymore. It got, it got really bad. It got, yeah is it's simple. Like it's usually like little plastic nuts on the back of the, it's not plastic. are Yours are metal. yeah That's yeah a terrible idea because one or at least they rust and then you need WD 40 to get them off. No, that beat the little plastic caps.
00:09:30
Speaker
Cause that it should be plastic. No, it's not plastic. It was metal unrested and rested and I didn't have no WD-40. All I had was grit and determination and all this gem strength that I've been doing. You could have just use oil like cooking oil.
00:09:47
Speaker
Didn't think about that. Yeah. That's all right. i I did it. yeah You it. I did it all by myself. Yeah. At the next segment break, I got go lift the toilet and bring it aside. Because I don't want that just sitting in my front yard. Yeah, that is pretty trifling. Yeah. toilet etc yeah But her brother isn't even going be there for a while.
00:10:11
Speaker
He is like, it's a weekend job. It'll be easy. He's already reached out to a contractor. He's like, this is happening. I'm like, all right. So he he's he's hiring a contractor.
00:10:22
Speaker
yeah He's not doing it himself. No, no. He doesn't know how to do this stuff himself. Like the plumbing and the electrical and all that. He's not doing that stuff. I wouldn't put it past him to be able to figure it out real fast. But I think some of the stuff like he wants to put wallpaper up in there and different like some of the stuff we can do our own on our own. But like the main roughing and all of that stuff and the plumbing and all that stuff. Now we got to get somebody to do that.
00:10:46
Speaker
So this is not going to be a half done project. No. the majority of the projects. um I don't know. Our brother is, we, and to be our younger brother. Yeah.
00:10:57
Speaker
He is Clutch. Yeah. yeah he He's clutch. was going to say he's the leader of the siblings, but there is no technical leader of the siblings. Yes, there is. And it's me.
00:11:10
Speaker
I'm just kidding, y'all. No, we rotate. Honestly, we rotate depending on the situation. Like, who leads, we rotate. yeah We all have different strengths. right And for us, each one's strength where the other one lacks. Right.
00:11:27
Speaker
I'm the meticulous one that stays calm under pressure. No, you do not stay calm under pressure. The only one that stays calm under pressure is is our brother.
00:11:38
Speaker
No, that's not true. That's not true. No, 100%. How do I not stay calm under pressure? When has there been a time where I haven't stayed calm under pressure?
00:11:49
Speaker
Do you remember when ah our our dog was sick? Our family dog. Time out. yeah And you call 911. All
00:12:01
Speaker
right. Before we end this segment, we have to tell the story. It's not funny. It's a sad, tragic story. But there's a piece of it that is humorous. So go ahead and tell the story. let it our Our family dog, you know, she was up in Asia. She started having seizures.
00:12:17
Speaker
And we we witnessed her having seizure one day. And you didn't know what to do. You called 911.
00:12:27
Speaker
I call 911. I don't know what to do. Call the vet. We're supposed to go to take it to the vet. What's 911 going to do? 911 could have gave me the number to the vet. We know the number to the vet down the street. We know what the vet is. Hold on. you know they See, this is the part where you leaving out.
00:12:43
Speaker
Okay. You ran to me and said- Yeah, because I'm not good in a crisis. At all. Like that. ah You notice I did not say the only one that stays calm under pressure is me.
00:12:55
Speaker
That's not what I said. He didn't stay calm. Yes, he did. He was calm. No, he didn't. He didn't do nothing. There was nothing we could do. There was nothing we could do, honestly.
00:13:06
Speaker
I was the one that contacted the vet, got in the car, drove the dog to the vet, yeah and then paid the vet. yeah I was the the most calm one. i Okay, I was ah maybe not calm.
00:13:19
Speaker
I'm the most take charge. How about that? Okay. Okay. Yes. When times in a crisis, I'm like, my initial reaction? Nope. no Oh, yeah, because nothing was worse than when found that dog and you didn't know what to do. Didn't know what to do.
00:13:34
Speaker
I'm like, I was literally just standing there with a dog and I didn't know what to do. Jay found a dog that was just wandering, took the dog in and is like, I don't know what to do. i was like, you have a dog. Yeah, what do I do with it I was like, don't you have a dog crate?
00:13:47
Speaker
Yes, downstairs. Okay, put the dog in a dog crate. Okay. but something I put something on the bottom of the dog crate so the dog doesn't sleep on the floor. When I had COVID and the night I had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital because I couldn't breathe. My first call was not to 911 to come get me because I can't breathe.
00:14:09
Speaker
My first call was to our mom who was states away. this could not help me animals. She's like, call 911. And I'm like, oh,
00:14:21
Speaker
I'm not going to. I don't think things through. I'm not getting a crisis at all. I am not. That's not me. I'm not clutch. I'm just not. No, it's just that. No, and i brilliant yeah my mind goes completely blank and I never know what to do.
00:14:37
Speaker
And our brother, his gift is just to be there. Yeah. Just to be there. Yeah. And, and and yeah, it it's just just he's a solid rock. He ain't always going know exactly what to do.
00:14:50
Speaker
Right. But he's going to be there. He's going to do something. Yeah, he's going to do something. Yeah. Something's going get done. Something's going to get done. We all got our strength. And you're always the one that you're the organizer.
00:15:01
Speaker
Yes. Like, if if I have, or let's let's do this. okay, let me figure out the particulars because Bruce only know big ideas. He don't know how to break stuff down. And I don't. I don't. you have a You have ah the overarching idea. Yeah, yeah. Okay?
00:15:17
Speaker
The particulars of how to actually get this idea to come to fruition. don't know that. Look. That's not your strength suit. Yeah. i can I can create the overall plan for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yeah. but From what's supposed to happen in the Big Bang to the very, very end. I know what that is. But each individual movie script? Nah, mm-mm. That's not going to be your forte. No, that's...
00:15:41
Speaker
Now I know how to tie it. When somebody does the scripts, can tie them all in together. right But somebody need to do the scripts. Somebody need to do it the whole part. And I'm like, yeah, this ties there. I can connect the dots. yeah But create the dots? No, I can't create no dots. And that's okay. because that's yeah that That's when I come in and I say, okay, well, step one is this.
00:16:04
Speaker
Step two, step three, let's work it all the way down the line so we get it done. And that's how we're going to it. And you'd be like, yeah, that works. I don't think I have that voice.
00:16:17
Speaker
so That's a great impression of you, actually. Actually, I think that's the worst. But you know what doesn't sound
Political Controversy and Signal App Leak
00:16:23
Speaker
good? Pretty solid to me. yeah No, I think that was a horrible impression. But what doesn't sound good is when you're talking about war or attack plans, whatever you want to categorize as, yeah on a app.
00:16:35
Speaker
Because what Okay. Yeah. I got things to say. And we won't get it into that next.
00:16:51
Speaker
All right, Jay. So there was a big political controversy and it happened on Monday and we had already filmed the show. So we could not talk about it on last week's show.
00:17:04
Speaker
We're going to talk about it this week's show. And unless you've been living under a rock, you know what's going on. But let me just give you guys a detail. So senior officials, including the defense secretary, Peter Hegseth,
00:17:17
Speaker
set He used a signal group chat to discuss U.S. airstrikes in Yemen. The chat inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, a journalist from The Atlantic, who later published the details.
00:17:29
Speaker
I'll get more into why he published the details later. But the messages included timelines, strike packages, fighter jet developments, and missile launch specifics sent hours before the mission, risking risking exposure for real-time military plans.
00:17:45
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Signal, though it's encrypted, is not authorized for classified government communication. It's also vulnerable to hacking, i.e. like Russia, risking leaks and licks. Leaks and licks. Leaks and licks.
00:18:00
Speaker
Leaks and licks. Yeah. And endangering personnel. Because if you think people know not, you know, people knowing our military operations ain't going to, you know, get a lick off of that, you crazy.
00:18:13
Speaker
So leaks and licks. Right. Both. I mean, that's what they want. They want to both get that money. yeah We're going to get more into the aftermath of everything.
00:18:24
Speaker
But Jay, you said you had some things to say about this. I'm just going to give you the floor. Yeah. Remember that whole chant, lock her up? Yeah.
00:18:34
Speaker
yeah Lock them up.
00:18:37
Speaker
What's the difference? Use of unsecure communication channels by high level officials. What's the difference? Yeah, they're saying it wasn't classified. So there's a debate of saying that's that's what the debate is. They're saying that it wasn't a classified information.
00:18:54
Speaker
it It wasn't. I love the semantics that they're playing. so It wasn't war plans. And I guess, okay, we're not at war, but they because that's a gray area.
00:19:06
Speaker
It's definitely a attack plans. yeah It's definitely information was being spread on this signal app before the strikes actually happened. And in real time...
00:19:20
Speaker
They are. Hex staff is updating the people in this group chat. That's various individuals. Yes. Right. Yes. Throughout the administration, even the vice president. Yes. Real time. Hey, we hit this person. We hit this person. Things look good on this end.
00:19:36
Speaker
All the while. Included in his group chat is a journalist that Trump doesn't like. He says he has anti-Trump syndrome or whatever they call that thing. They like to come up with little catchy stuff. Made up stuff, yeah. Yeah, made up stuff.
00:19:51
Speaker
And Jeffrey is just like, look, he thought it was a joke at first. Yeah. He's like, what is this? Then when he realized it was real, he was like, um... He didn't say anything. He didn't release anything specific.
00:20:03
Speaker
He just said, hey look, they included me in this group chat. And he said, these are the things that were included. But he didn't present them at first. Yeah. It wasn't until they was like, he's a liar.
00:20:14
Speaker
He was like, no, no, no, no. OK. I screenshot it. yeah kept He kept receipts. Yeah. Because in this day and age, you think people don't have receipts? A journalist? Right.
00:20:25
Speaker
Right. Woody take screenshots immediately. I take screenshots when I pay a bill and the bill, you know, you get that confirmation screen that you didn't paid your electric bill. I'll take a screenshot because if there's something come back, like I'd pay this bill. Yes. i think So if I take screenshots of that, you think I'm not going to take screenshots?
00:20:47
Speaker
Of a, of a, I'm sorry, but this was classified. it The chat contained detailed discussions about an imminent US airstrike on Houthi targets in Yemen, including locations, tactics, and timing.
00:21:04
Speaker
That is classified military information. Mm-hmm. Share between the vice president, secretary of state, secretary of defense, other type of it. this is How do you accidentally, first of all, add a journalist to the group?
00:21:21
Speaker
yeah National security advisor, Michael. I have a conspiracy theory about that, but go ahead. No, I want to know. I want to know the conspiracy theory.
00:21:32
Speaker
So it's ah it's saying that the national security advisor is the one who inadvertently added him to the group chat. I think he might have done it on purpose. Because how do you do how do you possibly accidentally add a journalist?
00:21:49
Speaker
A journalist that the administration ah thinks is an enemy. Yeah. An enemy against him, even though he's just doing his job. He's just doing his job. But how do you accidentally add him to a private chat with senior officials? That don't even make sense.
00:22:07
Speaker
Look, I got a lot of group chats going. I got... We got, like, full family group chats just within ourselves. Yes. Yes. I have never added somebody to the group chat no by accident. But these people are...
00:22:22
Speaker
Not smart. almost Well, well, yeah, they're not smart and are close to boomers. So technology, you know, not the greatest, not their greatest asset. However, my conspiracy theory is there are other group chats in that signal and the national security advisor is probably like, this is my conspiracy theory. This is just, this is, I don't have no, that I didn't do any research to back up this claim. This is just my unsolicited perspective.
00:22:52
Speaker
Unsolicited perspective and gut reaction. Yeah. that He's like, there's so much illegal stuff. The legal conversations that is going on through this group, these group chats.
00:23:03
Speaker
I'm just this right here. What we're doing right now, they shouldn't be loosely talking about. Yeah. ah Attack. for An unsecure messaging app. I'm going to slip this to a journalist. So it brings attention to the fact that we're doing these group chats and maybe we'll stop that. You know, low key. I think that maybe, maybe he was trying to do his job and slip some information and bust the administration from doing stuff illegally because these are not constant.
00:23:34
Speaker
andy And the, and the, if you read the text messages, cause I read the text messages, I love getting the details of this administration, realizing that the attacks on the Houthis, that's Houthis in Yemen, really doesn't help us in any real way.
00:23:54
Speaker
Like, so the Houthis have basically pirated and cut off certain trade routes, but only 3% of our trades come through this route, right? So it's not a big, it's not a huge deal to us.
00:24:10
Speaker
So the idea that they wanted to put the messaging that this is Biden's fault, right? Everything is Biden's fault. This was Biden's fault. and that this is to help freedom in America.
00:24:23
Speaker
No, it isn't. No. No, it isn't. And they did. And JD Vance was like, I kind of don't want to do this because it's to no benefit to us. It benefits the European nations more than it benefits us.
00:24:34
Speaker
But if we're going to do this, we've got to get the messaging right. That the why? Because nobody in America is going to care about this.
Government Accountability and Security Breaches
00:24:40
Speaker
So we got to be like America, America, America. And Biden is wrong. And I just love the fact like in if you read the text messages,
00:24:48
Speaker
And you read them in real time, you can see the deceit yeah coming from the administration and saying, hey, this was important. No, it wasn't important. Yeah. And people fell for it. People didn't even read the text messages. People were just like, no, it's for America. Make America safe. And you got Marjorie Taylor Greene, a UK journalist, is asking her about about this whole controversy. And she says, you should go back to your country. And I'm just like, these are the idiots that y'all put in power. These are At worst case scenario, this is similar to some raunchy, like a dude cheating on this woman. And he texting and Snapchat.
00:25:25
Speaker
Right. that's thank you Thinking that, oh, it disappears so I could do this on Snapchat. You could still take screenshots. Still take screenshots. And it's not, it can be hacked.
00:25:37
Speaker
yeah The Russians and the Chinese have already infiltrated our social media networks and and ah so many bots and trolls is that they are causing...
00:25:48
Speaker
division in this country that was kind of already there. They're just putting fuel on the gasoline on the fire already, just making it bigger. yeah But this these people are talking about serious plans.
00:26:01
Speaker
And the Houthis had the capability to counterattack. So if they had gotten this information beforehand, the surprise attack wouldn't have been a surprise, and we would have been surprised.
00:26:13
Speaker
Yeah. and and And people are just like, it's not classified. it did The defense, the MAGA defense, yeah that no matter what they do, it's never wrong. Yeah. When if Barack Obama or Joey Beans had done any of this.
00:26:32
Speaker
And it's so funny that the first thing they did was bring up Hillary's emails again. none The emails was all the way back 2016. Yeah. Yeah. yeah yep They've been and been living off them emails for almost 10 years. Living off of them. and and the And the thing of it is, is i don't see anything different.
00:26:54
Speaker
Except for the fact that Hillary Clinton ultimately you know wasn't charged. I mean, they're not going to be charged either. But in both cases, it's about sensitive or classified material being handled differently.
00:27:08
Speaker
through these channels that are not designed for secure government communications. And I love they had hearings on. I'm getting days confused because i'm getting older.
00:27:20
Speaker
They had hearings on one day. where all the administration officials were basically attacking Jeffrey Goldberg because he hadn't released all... He hadn't released the text messages. Right. right He hadn't released the screenshots.
00:27:31
Speaker
He just said... He wrote an article in Atlantic saying, hey, I knew about this two hours beforehand because they put me in a group chat. Yeah. And then they started lying, trying to discredit him. And he was like, oh, okay, well, got receipts.
00:27:43
Speaker
So the first day the hearings, before he dropped the receipts, there were some people that were being called to you know, testify before Congress that said some things that would implicate that they was lying because the very next day when Jeffrey Goldberg dropped them receipts and they got called again, Congress is like, hey, you said this yesterday.
00:28:08
Speaker
Right. You said this yesterday. And now we're finding out that this is not true. And you know what they did? You know what each one of those people did? They started throwing the secretary defense under the bus. And it's like, well, this comes directly from the secretary defense's office.
00:28:22
Speaker
And Pete, because he just announced earlier today that they want to reduce the civilian workforce at the Pentagon, that there are 950,000 people working at the Pentagon that are civilian employees and they want to reduce it.
00:28:36
Speaker
And Pete, I don't know if you're going to be there for much longer because this thing is not going to go away. Democratic lawmakers are calling for hearings. They're calling for an investigation by the attorney general. Will this happen? I don't know. Yeah.
00:28:50
Speaker
This is a big deal. yeah And how they're brushing it aside and how Trump, who being who's being questioned by this, is just say, you're nasty interviewer. How you asking a question like that when we're fixing America, which we're putting more tariffs on other countries?
00:29:05
Speaker
And like, no, answer the question. It's also i not fixing America by putting more tariffs on the other countries because they're retaliating and yeah the cost the cost of the brick has gone up.
00:29:16
Speaker
Well, yeah yeah. So our allies, when we did the whole, when the whole meeting happened with the Ukrainian president, Zelensky, at the White House, and he did his tour of Europe.
00:29:28
Speaker
they they the our allies realizing that we were kind of leaving ukraine and alerts they banded together and the french president just announced the other day that they they put together a coalition of european countries to to make up pick up the slack that the u.s is is is not participating as much as they were to help ukraine fight this war so basically other our allies are saying hey look u.s being real iffy right now The U.S. is acting brand new. We don't really need you. We're going to go ahead and do our
U.S. International Relations and Global Dynamics
00:30:02
Speaker
own thing. Yeah.
00:30:04
Speaker
And this is just another prime example that we got the circus running our country right now. Like, they like ladies and gentlemen, i
00:30:13
Speaker
ladies and gentlemen, yeah cabinet members that are supposed to be in positions to actually protect our lives.
00:30:25
Speaker
Mm-hmm. are talking about almost frat boys like language. Yeah. Attacking a group of people who had the capability to counter attack.
00:30:38
Speaker
Yes. And they're doing it in a group chat on an unsecured network and included a reporter that they deem, them, they deem as the enemy of the administration. And then...
00:30:55
Speaker
Name the group chat Hooty PC small group. but
00:31:05
Speaker
so the The idiocy, honestly. nobody nobody in that All the people that were in that group that group chat.
00:31:16
Speaker
First of all, nobody noticed that Jeffrey Goldberg had been added to the chat. I'm sure there's like a little line that says so-and-so has been added to the chat. I'm sure there there usually is.
00:31:30
Speaker
We've been in group chats. Typically, they're family members that add 19 people to a group chat to send it out. You don't go through all the people. So I could see how that could have slipped through the cracks.
00:31:41
Speaker
But ah the name of the chat is small group. So if I'm looking and there's a phone number or screen name or username or something don't recognize. Right.
00:31:53
Speaker
You would think if you're discussing sensitive military strategies. the Secretary of Defense, the National Security Advisor, the Secretary of State, all of these people were on there. You would think somebody be like, yeah who is this? Who is this over here? Who is this?
00:32:09
Speaker
Who is this person that hasn't said anything in this group chat? You didn't give a thumbs up, a like, a heart on none of these comments. it Right, like nothing. didn't give no reaction. They real quiet. Who is this?
00:32:22
Speaker
ah Yeah, no. and And you know why nothing will happen?
00:32:28
Speaker
I was talking to somebody that I know, whether or not they're MAGA or not. I don't know. That's a gray area. But when this whole thing dropped, they said, just, I can't recognize the country that, that I'm, that I'm living in right now. And I'm like, oh yeah, because of, you know, them doing the group chat and talking about war plans.
00:32:52
Speaker
No, all these Tulsa attacks and bombings. I said, what? That's your focus. That's it I mean, don't get me wrong. And going talk about that on the YouTube exclusive.
00:33:04
Speaker
There is some issues that go along with these these Tulsa. Not Tulsa. Not Tulsa. There was a bombing in Tulsa, but I'm talking about Tesla. Oh, okay. Because I was like, what? Because you was confused, too, because I said Tulsa. Yeah, was like, what happened in Tulsa again?
00:33:21
Speaker
I told you, hey, look, I ain't 100% right now. I'm struggling, okay? how you love Y'all, if y'all watching the YouTube, I was confused. I was like, a Tulsa again? What happened?
00:33:32
Speaker
didn't hear about this. Ain't even a lot of black people in Tulsa. Why they go bombing again? Why would they go? What now? Tesla. tes My bad, ladies and gentlemen, Tesla. She was like, i don't and I don't recognize my country because of all these attacks and bombers at Teslas.
00:33:48
Speaker
And I was like, a lot of bombers at Teslas. I don't know if that's his, but I was like, there's been some, but we'll get into that on a YouTube exclusive. But I was like, that's the thing that you're worried about?
00:33:59
Speaker
Not the fact that the people that supposed to be securing us are worried about the border crisis and tariffs, and talking in group chats about future attacks that include a journalist, but no, the demonstrations and protests at Tesla,
00:34:22
Speaker
is the thing that that bothers you the most. And this is the reason why there will be not there'll be no accountability. None. And Democrats ain't really that tough. Some are. But as a party, they kind of like pushovers.
00:34:35
Speaker
Yeah. They're still trying to live in this world of like decorum and rules and stuff like that. Nah. Get nasty. right They're nasty. If they're going to already accuse you of being nasty, you might as well just be nasty.
00:34:52
Speaker
it You know what was funny? we i was talking to my boys yesterday about fighting. and And we used to joke like ah there was one time where I was about to fight this kid. and And he threw a kick.
00:35:03
Speaker
and And he threw the kick. You know, we took martial arts. He threw the kick so well, I was like, this could be a problem. So what I did was to get out of the fight. I'm like, man, I'm trying to fight you, like throw fists.
00:35:15
Speaker
You out here throwing kicks and everything. That's crazy. And at the time, our generation was like, we're not about to fight. Nobody's going throw some kicks. We want to throw punches. Right. Me and my boy was talking. We was like, we was tripping because it was a fight.
00:35:28
Speaker
There are no rules. There's no rules. So Democrats are trying to stick to rules. The Republicans, they're they're not fighting fair. now So if somebody is going to try and kick you in the nuts, yeah you kick them in the nuts back.
00:35:41
Speaker
Try to gouge out their eye because it's a fight now. There are no rules. yes So that's they got to step up. And so the messaging has to be right. yeah You can't become so whiny.
00:35:54
Speaker
That it it turns off and you create more martyrs like the left is attacking them. You have to do it smart and strategically, yeah but they need to be punching them in the face about these the about this leak.
00:36:08
Speaker
Yeah, it's a leak. Yeah. Yes. And it's classified whether you want to say it's classified or not. It's information that the public. wouldn't be purview to yeah before the fact.
00:36:20
Speaker
And you know who, speaking of that, do you know who was top tier at punching back and fighting back and doing an exceptional job at it?
00:36:32
Speaker
Tim Walz. Oh, yeah, with Tim, yeah. did By calling them weird. And they could not bounce back from being called weird. they They were trying everything, but they couldn't. We're not weird.
00:36:45
Speaker
You're weird. That makes you even more weird. i say that makes you even more weird. Like, he just did such a good job oh of of making them ridiculous. And that's what we need to do. And Pete Buttigieg, you were just bringing up Pete.
00:36:59
Speaker
Pete Buttigieg is a masterclass in class facts. <unk> so He's so good. He's so good. He's so smart. And he's so quick. And he's just, it's a masterclass. I love hearing him speak.
00:37:15
Speaker
Pete, one of them people that if you get in a debate with him, he's not going to be animated. No. He's just going to dissect you to the point where you like, we got to fight. Because this was just a regular argument talking about Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Yeah. Who's the better player.
00:37:30
Speaker
But the way you destroyed me just now. The way you destroyed me right now without raising your voice, without being forceful anything, we got to fight. Now I have to fist fight you.
00:37:41
Speaker
yeah But again, this is a veteran. He gonna whoop your ass.
00:37:48
Speaker
It's like you can't win. People can't win. Don't even try. Don't even get into the fight. Well, I'm scared to get my ass whooped. We're going get into that in the next segment. But before we we get into me being scared to my ass whooped, what do you want to do? You have anything else to say about this? Because for real, the fact that this is not a bigger deal. Yeah.
00:38:09
Speaker
Well, it's because what did they do? they further they They immediately, you know, going out. This wasn't ah this. so This is what it Trump says. It's the only glitch in two months. You know, dave this is the we've been here for two months. This is the only glitch.
00:38:23
Speaker
A glitch, first of all. And y'all only been there for two months. Right. Y'all only been there for two months. And your first quote unquote glitch is a release of sensitive military secrets.
00:38:38
Speaker
ah yeah And hold on. but that's that That's only been the glitch. not Not firing veterans. Right. And then coming back and being like, oh, we all accidentally fired y'all. Come on back to work. That wasn't a glitch. they This was a glitch. They don't they don't see those as glitches.
00:38:53
Speaker
They don't see those as glitches. You know what? I would love to live in that type of world. where damn immediately no account They immediately downplayed it. And then, you know, you got the press secretary.
00:39:05
Speaker
accusing the media of sensationalism. And and of course they love that term, witch hunt. They love it. But I mean, the same energy y'all had for Hillary and them emails.
00:39:18
Speaker
I need y'all to have that same energy about this, about this incident, because this is worse.
00:39:28
Speaker
Yep. You know why? Because Hillary ain't included no journalists and them now in that server. um And honestly, I think what they ended up finding, there was no sensitive information. That's why she was never charged.
00:39:44
Speaker
they And they will they went through hearing after hearing and interrogated them and nothing. but This, my man's got screenshots.
00:39:55
Speaker
Receipts. kept Got receipts. Keep the same energy. But y'all not going to do that. No, we're living in a circus right now. Yeah.
00:40:12
Speaker
Okay, Jay, had an interesting conversation with my boys yesterday. And then I read somebody sent me something and they sent it to me yesterday, but I didn't see it until this morning.
00:40:25
Speaker
Yeah. And I was like, yep, this is what i' was talking about last night. So what am I talking about?
Youth Behavior and Pandemic Impact
00:40:30
Speaker
Right down the street from me, there's this mall called Pentagon City Mall. It's a huge mall. it's right It's right outside of the Pentagon. It's in Arlington, Virginia. It's right over the bridge that connects D.C. and Virginia.
00:40:44
Speaker
Everybody comes to Pentagon City Mall. You know youve got people that live in Virginia. You got people that live in Maryland. You got people who live in D.C. come to this mall. yes Yesterday, There was some ruckus.
00:40:56
Speaker
It was a beautiful day in DC. It was like 75, 80 degrees. People was out. You know, it took two hours to get to dad's house from my place, which is only a 45 minute ride because everybody was at the cherry blossom festival. There was a kite festival on the mall. People was out. It was beautiful day in DC. Yeah.
00:41:11
Speaker
And these kids were at the mall and these kids kept getting into group fights. Like it was one group fight then they break it up and there's another group fight and they break it. So many group fights. It got to so many group fights that they had to shut down the mall and call and police backup.
00:41:31
Speaker
And then I was like the youth, the youth is wild. I was telling my boys last night, the story of me and my best, he was walking in DC and we're about to go down the street and I see some youth.
00:41:43
Speaker
on corner. I see some youth on the corner. A lot of youth on the corner. I said, let's go down the next street. She's like, why? I always got go down this street. i was like, yeah, but that could be trouble.
00:41:57
Speaker
Mm-hmm. And I don't, I'm not going to voluntarily put myself in what could be trouble. Thank you. yeah If I can go down another street, I'm going to go. And my boys was like, yeah, no, exactly. We too grown for that.
00:42:10
Speaker
And I was like, the crazy thing is we used to be that youth. they They probably wouldn't have bothered us, but you don't know. Yeah. You don't know. You don't know. And, and, and as I've gotten older and remember, I used to be one of those youths.
00:42:25
Speaker
Yeah. I used to be kind of in the streets. Because I'm now afraid of them. Yeah. Because listen, I used to be one of those youths too, because a mall employee describing the scene said he saw, quote, there were two young ladies that were fighting and officers were trying to break it up.
00:42:45
Speaker
And then they started fighting the officers. Oh, God. Yeah. it's Okay, so it wasn't you think it's just a little male youth snow. It's just youth.
00:42:57
Speaker
All these kids are out here scrapping. And we need to figure out honestly, we need figure out why what is going on? Our kids, the kids just not have anything to do.
00:43:09
Speaker
are are Are there beefs going on that like? Authorities need to look into like what because so many fights that you can't even keep them all open.
00:43:20
Speaker
And this is a gigantic mall and a mall of America big, but it's pretty freaking big. Yes. aye I think a lot of people want to label this as a pandemic issue. And I do think some of it, some of the pandemic has something to do with it.
00:43:35
Speaker
You can't, ah we had to lock down, but the kids being locked down. i't remember I remember, I remember was in middle school and I got a bad report card and my dad took me off the basketball team. He was like, you got a bad report card. You can't play basketball.
00:43:48
Speaker
Yeah. And my grandfather said, that's the worst thing in the world you could do to to Bruce. He's got so much energy without something, without an outlet. Yeah. You're going to bring that energy to the home or when he has nothing to do, it's going to go outside. Yeah. That energy needs to be expelled some way.
00:44:05
Speaker
And so when the kids being locked in during the pandemic, yeah, that, that had a detrimental fact. Yeah. but Also, When we were younger, we had places that we could go.
00:44:16
Speaker
Yes. We had skate lands. We had YMCA's. There was boys and girls clubs. There were activities. There were things for us to do. Hut, put, and golf. We had but places to go. We had places to go. And there's not a lot of places for kids to go. I mean, yes, we used to go to the mall, but the mall wasn't our only place to go.
00:44:35
Speaker
Hell, we used to go to Toys R Us and just play with the free video games that they had on display. There was arcades back in the day where... There wasn't a whole lot of ruckus. I don't remember in all the years I went to arcades, people fighting at the arcades. Now, did it happen every now and then? Of course, because, you know, you got so many people in one area, fights going break out We're grown folks and people fighting at bars and clubs and stuff and people fighting in the grocery stores, people fighting at airports.
00:45:03
Speaker
And these are adults, people, large groups, people going to fight. Yes. Unfortunately. But for the most part, these were places that we could go as youth. Yeah.
00:45:14
Speaker
And, you know, just chill out and relax. And they all these places are gone. There's nothing. When you get rid of the arts programs in high schools. Yeah. Right. When you get rid of after school programs, these kids have nothing to do. And when kids have nothing to do, they're going to find something to do. Yeah.
00:45:35
Speaker
I mean, honestly, the last place they had to go, even though we closed in a lot of these malls, but the last place they got to go is the mall. And so it's like. Now they can't really even do that because the mall's getting shut down because other kids are fighting. So it's like...
00:45:55
Speaker
this We took everything away from the kids. They are full of hormones and energy, and they have to get that energy out.
00:46:08
Speaker
And lack and impulse control because they're not fully formed adults. No. You're not a fully formed adult emotionally and mentally and until you are 25 years old. They can't think...
00:46:19
Speaker
about tomorrow they are thinking about in the moment yeah so in the moment is this like when you got kids when you got little young kids and you need like look these kids got so much energy wo take to the playground and let them run around all day they know what you say after they run around all day you put them in the car these kids gonna sleep good tonight why because they tired as hell you got to tie some kids out i do that with my dogs I have to let them run around till they get tired.
00:46:46
Speaker
That's how keep quiet. so i've a like Because they got so much energy, they need an outlet. They need sports. They need the arts. They need after school programs. they need and they And there's just nothing there for them.
00:47:02
Speaker
I would love, you know, i think it would be a great idea. And I'm not sure DC even has that. um I might look into this. This might be, this might be my first foray into my political career. fair I would love to create a music studio that kids can just come to because everybody is in the music now. Yeah. These kids know how to make beats and these kids out here rapping.
00:47:22
Speaker
So create a music studio and be like, hey, look, y'all want to do a little demo, create music together because there's a lot of D.C. music and there's a lot D.C. beats. Maybe you could end some beats by bringing crews together, just do songs and stuff like that.
00:47:35
Speaker
And that's something artistic for kids to do. Yeah. I mean, whatever happened to when you got beef? Y'all battle it out on the dance floor. um What happened to that?
00:47:47
Speaker
yeah I think that ended in 85, 86. Well, we need to bring it back because kids need another way to go. These kids need something else.
00:47:58
Speaker
Take the TikTok dance trends and they battle it out. You battle it out. If we're going to shut down the mall, it's because a huge dance battle broke out. And the kids, like, that's okay. All right. That's what we can deal with. But this, I don't know what's going on. i don't know what's going on with these kids.
00:48:18
Speaker
um But see, here's the thing. We just identified what's going on with the kids and every generation, yeah every generation says the next generation behind is the worst. They call my generation and your, our generation. Yeah. The worst. These kids is crazy. We don't know what they're going to do.
00:48:33
Speaker
And then we said it about the next generation and we're going to say it, we're saying about Gen Z and they're say it about Gen Alpha and whatever the generation is after that. It's only because as you get older. Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:45
Speaker
And you got a little bit more to lose. Yeah. You become fearful. Yeah. That's what doesn't get talked about when you get when you get older. and yeah really People say, well, you become more conservative when you get older. No, you become more fearful.
00:48:56
Speaker
Yeah, because let me tell you something. i I'm not going to be in these streets fighting. You touch me, I'm calling the authorities and I'm pressing charges. Don't touch me. Okay. I got things to lose.
00:49:07
Speaker
you're not touch i'm not I'm not about to be out here fighting in the streets. oh oh ah For what? I am 40 years old. Yeah. I don't call them the authorities. If I break a hip, it's a problem. If I break anything, it's a problem. I could pull something throwing a punch nowadays. Thank you. and And I'm not bouncing back as quickly. Okay.
00:49:27
Speaker
Nowhere near as quickly. Nowhere near as quickly. at My back is going to that pull muscle that I pull punching you. That's going to hurt me for about three weeks. I'll be down for long three weeks.
00:49:39
Speaker
Three months, three, four months. Yeah. I mean, I'm going to be down for three weeks. And then and then I'll be back up. But i'm feel I'm feeling the pain. I'm still sitting with a heating pad on every night.
00:49:51
Speaker
But at least I could go about my day through the pain. But that's, yeah. I'm not going to bounce back as quick. I'm not about to be out here with these kids. Kids want argue with you. And doing I'm not about to argue with you. I'm going to be in my car. I'm going home.
00:50:06
Speaker
Or some common authorities. it' So I just, there was an interesting conversation as I was having it with my boys yesterday. And as I got this, you know, me sitting in thought, I was just like, people don't, people become more conservative as they get older because they become more fearful of the things that they can lose.
00:50:28
Speaker
We had, like, I was talking to somebody and, and he was like, I make so much more money now, but I remember he's like, I'm a thousandaire. I'm a hundred thousandaire now. yeah Right. yeah yeah He was like, i remember when I was a hundred, hundredaire. Yeah.
00:50:44
Speaker
And I would just find ways to do something. Like it was just like, get a six pack or get a case of beer. I would just find little ways to do something. And I was like, yeah. And he was like, I never worried about And i was like, yeah, because you weren't thinking about tomorrow. No.
00:50:57
Speaker
you You didn't care about what was going to happen next month. No. You weren't thinking about that. When you get older, I'm like, give me a turn of 45. I started thinking about, oh, I really need start thinking about retirement soon. I mean, I'm still 20 years away. It's like, no, this is something I need.
00:51:13
Speaker
I would have never... 25, I would have never thought about what I need to be doing at 45. Your plan isn't that long. But now my plan is what am I going to be doing in 20 years? yeah What's going to be happening?
00:51:27
Speaker
i need to start making those steps now. So it's when you get older, yeah, you become more conservative, but it it's more about fear. yeah Fear of losing what you have and fear of What's going to happen to me if Social Security isn't there? my retirement got to be on point because I'm not going to be 70 years old trying to get it bad groceries at Target just to make ends meet. yeah I'll go back to the streets.
00:51:52
Speaker
yeah good No, but that's real. and and
Creating Supportive Environments for Youth
00:51:56
Speaker
And I was just thinking as you were talking about it, and then I lost my train of thought. God dang.
00:52:03
Speaker
We were talking about the youth, fighting the youth again, because I can go back to the fighting the youth. that's Back in the day, I wouldn't have hesitated walking down that street. About fear. um You know, you know when it honestly, when it kicked in for me when I became an adult, it was like, yeah, you know, if I'm getting into fights at 15, 16,
00:52:23
Speaker
I'm just getting into fights at 15, 16. But now that I'm an adult, that's an assault charge. Okay. So now that's a felony. ah Okay. So it, okay. We could scrap when we was younger, but now we got something to lose.
00:52:38
Speaker
Not only that, and that assault could end up in a murder charge because we're physically stronger. Yes. And you can, I can hit somebody and kill them. Yes. If they fall the wrong way, even if I just shove them, if they fall the wrong way,
00:52:53
Speaker
Hit their head, something like that. That's it. That's the end of my life. that that's it And so when you think about the kind of the consequences yeah are way more severe. Even if you hit them and you break their jaw, right?
00:53:07
Speaker
Not only do you have a felony, you also got a lawsuit. Yeah. That's the case. It's coming. Right. And they coming for all your coins. All your money. And you're like, hold on now.
00:53:18
Speaker
Just because this person cut in front of me at the at the line, i'm I'm at the self-checkout. They see it's a line. yeah Why are you going to cut in front of me? Because I said something and they said something slick. I hit them in the jaw. I break their jaw. Not only am I banned from the grocery store, not only do I got a assault charge, but now i got to pay their hospital bills and then pain and suffering. Yep.
00:53:37
Speaker
And all I wanted was some Harris Teeter kettle chips. Yeah. That was $2.50. And you could have walked away from You could have just said, hey, Not cool that you did that. Not cool that you broke in line.
00:53:49
Speaker
I'm to walk away from this because there's a whole lot more I could lose over some kettle chips.
00:53:58
Speaker
These kettle chips ain't worth my freedom and all of my coins. So I brought all this up to say, yes, the kids are wilding a little bit.
00:54:11
Speaker
But it's also because they don't have the opportunities to release that energy like we did when we were younger. Yeah. And that is our fault. So instead of us pointing at the next generation and saying that they're out here and they're the worst generation, you have to take some accountability as the adults.
00:54:30
Speaker
These are children. You have to take some accountability as adults and like what environment have we provided for them? That they don't have anything else to do. I remember growing up, we grew up a small town in Virginia.
00:54:42
Speaker
It wasn't nothing to do but drugs and and hooking up. There was nothing to do. You know what mean? Well, we did have the YMCA. Yeah, but I mean. We had Skateland and Showbiz Pizza. But once you hit a certain age, once you got into the teenage years, you didn't want to do that stuff anymore. there And then there was nothing for teenagers to do that was constructive.
00:55:04
Speaker
And so that's our fault as adults that we're not providing a space for them to do something constructive. It would be really dope. if rich people got together and started building, not necessarily community centers, but like entertainment technology hubs, yeah places where kids can go.
00:55:24
Speaker
These kids are so creative yeah with technology. And so locked in with technology. Places that these kids can go, if they want to do little viral TikTok dances, like little spaces where they could do that.
00:55:39
Speaker
If they want to learn how to advance peter computer programming, yeah like little classes that they can do that. If they want to if they want to learn how to like mix music and do that, there's a little space. like There would be a space, ah create a creative space for these kids.
00:55:54
Speaker
And then you would have like... a little like, I don't know, basketball courts or something. You run little leagues and little teams, like something, something to get these kids help.
00:56:04
Speaker
Maybe even bring back arcades. Yeah. Right. Like, like something spaces for these kids to go. Yeah. Where you might even have mental health professionals that are counselors that know how to diffuse a situation with children or teenagers when things get escalated to learn to teach them how to communicate.
00:56:26
Speaker
That would help them in their life. Yeah. In the future. Yeah. Like these are things and nothing like this is provided for kids. Yeah. I mean, there is, but a ah but I mean, because I get you know emails all the time from United Way about you know different volunteer opportunities.
00:56:43
Speaker
And so there are these programs, but there's not enough and there's and they're not scaled up enough to to really be like a hub for a large number of kids. Yeah.
00:56:58
Speaker
Yeah, you're right. well um But there are people in the community that are trying to give kids an outlet, a positive outlet.
00:57:10
Speaker
But you know whether the funding is not there or it's just not to scale, it's not enough. and And the kids deserve better.
00:57:20
Speaker
Kids do. Absolutely. Yeah. And adults, unlike the adults that are in the current administration, not taking accountability for texting at the very least attack plans that should have been classified in a group checks.
00:57:35
Speaker
Us as adults need to take accountability for the things that we've done yeah and put these kids in these situations. Yeah. And also, it's okay to cross it over to that other side of the street.
00:57:47
Speaker
Yeah. You ain't got to walk down. just Look. Youth's scary. Youths are scary still. yeah I mean, youths are scary. But I remember when they used to look at us like that. Yeah. Well, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes not for good reasons. Right. Sometimes.
00:58:02
Speaker
Sometimes for good reasons. Sometimes. Yeah. Jay, what do you want to tell the people out here? Look, keep us keep the same energy.
Conclusion and Call for Engagement
00:58:12
Speaker
That you got for other people keep that same energy.
00:58:14
Speaker
That's all I'm asking for. i I don't even, I'm not even asking for this administration to take accountability for nothing. But what I'm asking for, because they're not going to, what I'm asking for is to the people.
00:58:26
Speaker
Y'all keep the same energy. The same energy you got for other politicians, keep it for the ones that represent you right now. And if you can't do that, you have zero integrity and you cannot speak to me.
00:58:41
Speaker
So what you're essentially saying is people don't be hypocrites. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good, that's a hey. Have some integrity. Have some integrity. Yeah. Dang, y'all.
00:58:52
Speaker
Have some integrity. If you're going to stand on business, stand on all business. And be 10 toes down. like Like, have some integrity. That's what's missing right now.
