Today we cover four topics: I review my interview with Kat Abu, Jake Paul getting a preemptive campaign endorsement, Jasmine Crockett losing the Texas Senate primary, and America blowing up a school in Iran. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
For the first time on Hood Politics, we interview someone running for office. Kat Abughazaleh is running for Congress in the 9th District of Illinois, which includes the Chicagoland area. Prop texted his Chicago homies and asked them what he should ask her.

You might have noticed, as Kristi Noem gets removed from her position, that Trump is just letting all these women go out in front and take all the bullets for him. It may come off like he’s hiring a bunch of women and putting them in powerful positions, but he’s actually putting them in impossible positions and making them take the fall for him. These women are participating in their own subjugation. From one marginalized people group to another...you gotta know when you being pimped. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Well obviously there's been a change of plans, because apparently we're at war with Iran. We briefly touch on this reality and how we got here. Then we move on to the domestic issue of tariffs. Finally, while they still not invited to the bbq, the SCOTUS did hand Trump the biggest L of his term. Imma break it down.

Peekaboo! Prop's got a couple thoughts on the State of the Union address. While most of it was exactly what we all expected, Trump did slide in a small, easy to miss diss to everyone in the room.

A clip went around social media last week of a kid at his high school in Illinois shouting about how he's pro-ICE durning an anti-ICE protest. In comes another kid saying "I'm going to punch you" and then he does just that. I'm not so much interested in the veracity of that story in as much as what it means to stoke violence, then hide behind the law. The pro-ICE kid that's filming says "If you punch me, you'll get in trouble..." So be it. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reaction formation is a post-Freudian defense mechanism that comes up when a person feels, whether real or imagined, a sense of rejection and, rather than acknowledging the feeling, tells themselves that they didn't want the thing they requested in the first place. Since the Turning Point halftime show was neither Christian, wholesome or better than the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show, one has to wonder, besides good old fashioned racism, what is actually going on in their minds and hearts to even feel the need to have their own performance? --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So Nicki Minaj, plot twist, might not actually be MAGA-pilled, she just wanted that Trump gold card. It turns out she's wasn't a citizen of the US, but now she is. It only cost her $1.5 million and the safety of her community.

Of course, at Davos, President Trump had a lot to say about everything. But during Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech, he finally addressed the elephant in the room: we can't trust the USA and we need to stop pretending like we can. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Black people, POCs or anyone from a marginalized group share a collective sigh whenever we hear some one say of the USA, “This is not who we are!” In our experience, this is exactly who we are. Today we talk about the recruitment tactics of ICE and how it's just like the tactics the LAPD used in the 50s and 60s.

Back when we were still willing to defend Kanye but had some concerns, Kanye gave us the gem "I JUST TOLD YOU! I'M A GOD" when asked who he thought he was. Well, JD Vance has a way of just saying in the most matter of fact tones some of the darkest workings of this administration. In his interview on Fox News with Jessie Waters, he just blatantly says, we are going to take all of Venezuela's natural resources and we are reclaiming our role as bully of the block. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"When Bondi says 'if we prosecute these people, the whole system will fall' -Ma'am, exactly." 🎯🎯🎯🎯 SO many 🔥 points here, about pimping, power, the desire for friendship, and the loss of seeing humanity when you surpass a certain wealth level.
what a wonderful song. thanks Prop and Matt 💜
‼️
Whew!!
That kid is a whole vibe! 😎
all that stepdad did was prove to his stepdaughter that his love & care for her was conditional
🎯
Trump is terrible for the United States and the word, but the democrats have themselves to blame, terrible messaging and no backbone.
Whew, the electoral college is a TRIP! It's wild to imagine how much could be different in presidential politics if we went to another system - popular vote, ranked voting, etc.
I dont know cause of how this man talk 😂😂😂 Shady Prop = Best Prop
I'm out of touch, I don't know any of the artists he mentioned.
immediately listened to all of sad oligarch! zero regrets
nothing is more cursed than opening for Iron Maiden, their fans will stab you for having the nerve to go before Maiden.
blowback from proxy wars = second hand smoke. lol! PERFECT analogy. #hoodpolitics
sorry man, but your idea of "the world" in relation to Russia is extremely US-centric and naive. That "world", just to start with, does not include south America, Africa and most of Asia.
that's some hardcore projection going on in that. strength and nuclear threats is the only thing the US understands, hence why north Korea still exists and Syria effectively doesn't. when the US is not in play, Russia does diplomacy just fine, take brics for example. so how goes the old saying, it's not them it's you.
Man... this show has fallen off lately. It feels like Prop isn't doing any prep or research and is just improvising his takes without forethought. I keep coming away from episodes feeling like he never made a point or an argument. I hope that changes.
You can only empathise with people who look like you? You think you have some sort of special understanding of the horrors of Yemen or Sudan? Seriously, with every ounce of honesty I have, go FUCK yourself you arrogant little cunt.
Absolutely brilliant analysis. I wish I could make this specific episode mandatory listening before any American is allowed to express an opinion on current affairs in Russia and/or Ukraine.
