Hello and welcome to the Buller podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. Glad to welcome to the show,

the representative from New York's eighth congressional district in Brooklyn. He's been doing that for seven terms. And then he succeeded Nancy Pelosi as the House Democratic leader in November of 2022. You might know him as Hakeem Jeffries. How you doing, sir? Good. Great to be with you, Tim. We got so much to talk about. We have so much news to talk about. But I like, you know, the podcast has a policy of radical candor, okay? You know, I just, I like to be honest. And so I've got to come clean with you on something. I've given you a little shit recently over the Sesame Street hip hop. All right. I don't, I'm not quite, maybe I'm, maybe it's a cultural bridge that I'm missing, you know? I was working on it a little bit myself.

I was like A, E, I, O, U, and Epstein investigation hanging over you, you know,

you're kind of doing that sort of stuff.

What's the deal with all that?

You know, the Sesame Street hip-hop, I think that I'm Biggie Smalls, J-Z, Nas, 90s into the 2000s hip-hop offici-oionado.

You know, that's kind of my zone.

I don't really go beyond that.

Okay.

I don't really go beyond that.

You don't want me quizzing you on NBA young boy or anything like that?

No, no, no.

Listen, those are my sons, but that's not.

Listen, I appreciate the genre and how it's developed, but I think that nothing, you know,

comes close to, you know, late 90s into early, mid to late 90s into early 2000s hip hop.

All right.

So you're not worried that, you know, people,

that might be a little corny, you know, some of the letters, little corny. You mean the ABCs of democracy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the ABCs of democracy. ABCs is a democracy. It's a little corny. No, it's a little bit? No, listen, I think that, you know, it speaks for itself. It went viral for a reason.

I don't know.

You know, the comments speak for themselves.

All right. I will hash it all out. I just wanted to let you know that for me it was a little corny. That's okay. You know, it's not everything that's to land with everybody.

Yeah, that's exactly right. All right, let's talk about some news.
