0:29

on down . So how's everybody's weeks

0:32

, months , years , big

0:34

been going hopefully fine , and

0:36

mine's going okay too . Pretty

0:39

cool , pretty cool . So

0:41

some of the topics I want to get into

0:43

today You got the NBA

0:45

playoffs . The

0:48

Western Conference finals are over it , but

0:50

the Eastern Conference finals are still going on

0:52

. Got God

0:55

the Well I'm

0:57

. The government's gonna run out of money pretty soon

0:59

here . I'm not gonna get too in depth into

1:01

it , but it's more of a social concern . So

1:04

we'll talk a little bit about that . And

1:06

, miss , i love people damn caught in

1:08

tree , don't for dumb . Oh , what does that

1:10

mean for you and the future moving

1:12

forward ? We can talk about that as well

1:14

. And also Tina

1:16

Turner , aka anime

1:19

, anime , anime , all

1:21

right , p Tina , all right , all right

1:23

, let's get into it . Huh , we

1:25

got a then be a Western Conference

1:27

finals happened and It

1:29

was against the Denver . It was between the Denver

1:32

Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers

1:34

There's a bunch of things going

1:36

on in here So the Lakers

1:38

got swept . Nobody expected

1:40

that . Everybody that was watching assumed

1:43

that everybody that was , i

1:45

mean , paying attention or waiting for this

1:47

series to come up , come to

1:50

come through . They were assuming that , uh , you

1:52

know Lakers were gonna compete , seeing

1:55

as they you know they've

1:57

been getting better each series . They beat

1:59

the first team and and

2:02

five games , five games . And

2:04

then they beat the second team , golden State

2:06

Warriors , and five games as well . So

2:09

they were hoping , well , no , six games

2:11

. Yeah , they were hoping . You know

2:13

the Lakers were Ready

2:15

to make a push with the new squad

2:17

that they had , but it didn't turn out to

2:19

be the case . Then

2:21

the Lakers had no answer for Denver

2:23

. No , let me correct that . The Lakers

2:26

had no answer for Jokovich , and

2:29

Jokovich abused Anthony

2:31

Davis a whole lot . But there's

2:33

not much you could do about that . Anthony Davis just

2:36

doesn't match up well with Joca Jokovich

2:38

and They

2:40

should have what's the call ? Dwight

2:43

Howard was out there . He's like hey , i'm the only

2:45

person that could stop Jokovich , because it's

2:47

probably just as strong as Jokovich . But Dwight

2:50

Howard was not on the NBA roster this Season

2:53

, so it was a little too late . And had they

2:55

signed them , doing a trade and

2:57

kept them in the reserve for this purpose

2:59

Particular purpose then maybe

3:01

now to work down . But it's really

3:04

strange . The series got over

3:06

it . Then LeBron's getting all this

3:08

hate , as if you know There isn't

3:10

four other players that play with

3:12

them . What the on the court at all times . People

3:15

need to give it a rest . Lebron's great And

3:17

if you're laughing as a Golden State fan , it

3:20

makes absolutely no sense . You

3:22

lost the team that got swept . What does that say

3:24

about you ? Think

3:27

about that , all right , and

3:30

let's slide on over to the Eastern Conference

3:32

finals . The Eastern Conference finals still going

3:34

on and It's looking like the

3:36

eight seed , miami , is gonna pull

3:38

through , even though Boston's making

3:41

it a series right now , but not

3:43

for long . It looks like The

3:46

Miami Heat are ready to avenge your loss

3:48

last year and they're ready to avenge your

3:50

loss last year against

3:53

Boston . So

3:55

, jimmy Butler and the squad

3:57

of misfits , they're Putting up

3:59

quite the fight there . They were up three , three

4:02

and oh , in the series and

4:05

The most recent time they played

4:07

, they lost The

4:10

Boston Celtics and it's the only game

4:12

they've lost in the series . And if they win

4:14

the next time , they play that's game . So

4:17

Wish them luck . Man

4:19

, the heat is on like teaching Chong . And

4:22

uh , little fact

4:24

, joe Missoula faced

4:26

off against Jimmy Butler when they were

4:28

in college and Jimmy Butler

4:30

squad took

4:33

care of Joe Missoula squad . So

4:35

I don't know if that has anything

4:37

to do with anything , but it's just a little fact

4:39

. That's uh roaming around on the internet and

4:42

you know it's pretty fun . It's great for competitive

4:45

natures . So , and for

4:47

the

4:49

Celtics ? for the Celtics , they have

4:51

any chance that this is all they need to just win

4:54

the next four games and

4:57

that's that's highly unlikely

4:59

. It's possible , but highly unlikely . So

5:02

Jason Tatum and Brown

5:04

need to basically get on the same page

5:07

and and see if

5:09

they can pull off this huge , huge

5:11

upset , which is weird because they're the

5:13

number one seed and Miami's

5:15

the number eight seed . So

5:17

that's kind of crazy . And

5:20

uh , that's pretty much it

5:22

for the basketball . So on to the next

5:24

topic at hand . Got the debt ceiling

5:26

all right . The debt ceiling

5:28

needs to be raised so the

5:30

government could be able to borrow more money so

5:32

that they could take care of essential bills , ie

5:35

social security , medicare

5:37

, maybe food

5:40

stamps and all and also pay

5:42

off government workers . But the republicans

5:44

are hell bent on destroying our lives , that

5:47

seems . They don't

5:49

want the debt ceiling to be raised . They

5:51

don't want to give the government any more money because it's

5:53

uh , because democrats

5:56

are in power right now , they rather

5:58

the country , they rather the government go bankrupt

6:00

and shuts down and becomes non-functional

6:03

. So they could say look , the

6:05

government's not doing anything for you . But

6:07

if the government does shut down , it's all

6:09

the republicans fault , because you're doing

6:11

it out of spite . You're not raising the debt

6:14

limit out of spite . You need to get

6:16

out of that childish mentality and do what's better

6:18

for the people . What's better for the people

6:20

is that the government keeps doing the job that it needs

6:22

to do , keeps working and keeps running

6:24

as it should . And

6:26

if you guys won't let that happen

6:28

, that becomes a big issue for

6:31

the people and it could

6:33

be one of the reasons why , come next

6:35

election , they kick all you guys out

6:37

of office , because the democrats will

6:39

have a strong , strong case

6:41

to say that republicans are

6:43

trying to ruin the country . They're trying to

6:46

, you know , bankrupt the country

6:48

or bankrupt the government . The government

6:50

provides a lot of services that are

6:52

needed on a daily and regular

6:54

basis and you guys just don't

6:57

want to Make

6:59

way due to the fact that you

7:01

want the other person to fail . But

7:03

in this case , if the government fails , we

7:06

all fail . We do not need that

7:08

to happen . We need the government to get

7:10

more money so that they can provide the services

7:12

that they provide , that are necessary To

7:14

the people that need them the most the elderly

7:17

, the , the . The elderly

7:19

What's a call ? people

7:21

that can't work and people that

7:23

need assistance to . You

7:25

know , got about their daily lives . That's

7:27

where I stand on that . Republicans , get

7:30

off your bottoms and go out there and make

7:32

a deal and let the government get more

7:34

money . Both sides come to

7:36

the table to work out a deal that'll

7:39

benefit the rest of us , the

7:41

greater Population . So

7:43

that's where I stand on that . On to

7:46

the next topic here I'm gonna speak in

7:48

a different language real quick , so watch

7:50

out . This is Creole . So

7:52

today , cutting tree down

7:55

for dumb , what's not a mean for

7:57

the country ? people don't

7:59

politicize arm dumb , you know . Say

8:03

We're cutting tree

8:05

down for dumb , it means say prosperity

8:08

. They come to the country People

8:10

and they can't live a better life

8:12

, the dollar in price . They

8:14

can't go down the leons . They

8:17

can become stronger . I

8:19

don't believe , and I believe saying that

8:21

you know , that go happen at all . Which

8:23

I believe is go about your daily

8:25

lives , go live , go live your life

8:27

and Hopefully

8:30

You fend away for

8:32

make money , fend away for , fend food for it and

8:34

you fend away for develop , build your

8:36

life in . You know the circumstances

8:38

where you get for deal with All right

8:40

, cuz one , yes

8:42

, my historic out three , but one tree

8:45

for for dumb , not a change anything about

8:47

your life . Pay attention to everything

8:49

we need for doing this life and Keep

8:52

working hard . But it thinks

8:54

everyone for achieve , whether not for

8:56

gonna school , not for make you small business

8:58

, not for go sell or not

9:00

for make cookery . Whatever you ever

9:02

do , do that . No

9:04

, make you whole focus . Shift

9:07

to one tree . Way for dumb

9:09

, yes , and get historic . I really vans

9:11

, but enough for Handcuff

9:15

your life , handcuff your lifestyle

9:17

on coffee well-being . So nine

9:20

dots . I wrap back to English

9:22

. I'm switching it up again . So

9:24

Today one

9:26

of the great singers , tina Turner

9:29

, passed away . She came into

9:31

the music business with her and her husband , ike

9:33

Turner . Ike gave

9:35

Tina Tina the name , but

9:37

Tina Like the name

9:39

so much that when she decided to leave Ike

9:41

she sued Ike for the rights

9:43

to the name and She

9:46

won and she got to keep the name and

9:49

this name has been very

9:51

big for her and It's been

9:53

very prosperous for her . Tina

9:56

Turner is a world-known name

9:58

. It's a global name , very powerful

10:00

. When I moved to America

10:02

in 1997 she was probably

10:04

in her late fifties . She died at 83

10:07

today , but she was probably

10:09

in her late fifties , still running

10:11

around the world performing

10:13

, comp , performing in concerts

10:15

, doing different shows and

10:17

still rockin . They call

10:19

it a first lady of rock and roll . So

10:22

I repeat , tina Turner and

10:24

her , my sympathy goes out

10:26

to her fans and her

10:28

legacy will continue , because music transcends

10:31

time and

10:34

It's may

10:36

or so less in perfect peace and That's

10:39

the effort today . Man , hope you guys have enjoyed

10:41

a pod short and I'll

10:44
