Um, 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.720 it's been good. This is my first couple of days 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.600 of vacation. I'm taking two eggs off of commissioning to 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.400 sort of recharge because that ship will beat the hell 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.640 out of you. Um And so yeah, I'm just kicking 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:31.160 back rewatching the Matrix trilogy in preparations for the new film, 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.800 which I'm very excited about. You I see that, I 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.640 see that. That's that's scrooge E look on your face, sir, 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.800 What do you I mean? I don't know, man, I'm 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:42.920 not gonna I don't like hating on anything that I 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.000 haven't seen, so I'm gonna refrain from passing down any 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.000 sort of judgment. But you know, I'm like a Matrix stam. 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.400 I was. I was one of those weirdos back in 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.160 high school where I honestly could sit down and just 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.080 pantomime the entire movie for you, like in person, with 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.800 all the pauses and the beats and the dialogue and 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.640 like inflections like I was. I was nutsle with him 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:11.799 like that. So I can't nobody downplay my Matrix bona Fetus. 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.720 But at the same time, it looks you know what, 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.080 It doesn't look bad to me. It just looks like 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.040 a regular movie. And that's what has me feeling like, 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.840 you know, I feel like if you put everybody in 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.160 the like just from looking at the trailer, if everybody 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.760 was dressed as Iron Man in Captain America, it would 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.280 look like a Marble movie. And that's that's what's gotta be. Like, 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:38.000 got your little shook, Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it'll 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.920 be I'm sure it'll be dope. Now, will it be 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.720 like the matrix to sound like some nerd like, Well, actually, 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.079 I just I just don't know how matrix I want 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.360 to say, I don't know. I don't know how the 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.280 new one's going to be. But the old ones hold up. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.880 God's running around doing karate and computer ship. Everybody got 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:03.360 the slim little sunglasses on. Cornell West is in the 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.600 second one. I don't know if y'all remember that, remember that, Yeah, 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.119 he's in that ship. That's probably my first like where 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.760 I first started hearing about Cornell West. The corporate goons 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.239 are the bad guys. Love that, And then you get 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.040 to the Resistance underground and it's all steam punkin and 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.880 like everybody's all tribal and ship. It's beautiful. Dude. They 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.320 couldn't they couldn't have just like done a little bit 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.560 of tweak to the wardrobe though, I mean, Kanus straight 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.880 up looked like then they came to the from the 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.560 John Wick for shoot on his lunch break to go, 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.560 they were just like, Yo, you don't even gotta bother 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:42.000 to cut your hair, cab. It was like, Yo, where'd 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.880 you get those clothes? The matrix? Every time he box 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.000 on a John Wicks set, they just everybody's just biting 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.880 their tongue wanting to say it, but they can't. I mean, 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.040 it's Kanu not just the same character in every film. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.840 He just walks from set to set wearing the same 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:05.280 fucking flowing black robe and sunglasses and just like I know, 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:10.920 like same, like you know intonation lists, just staring with 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:16.520 his mouth slightly cave. There's an analogy I always like 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.480 to make Wick Keanu is. I would always say Keyana 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:25.359 Reeves is the Nellie of actors because he's not really 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.720 that good, but most of the joints that he's inter dope. Yeah. 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.520 I mean, so it's like the same way with Nellie. 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.080 It's like somebody could Benchermon like, oh I don't like 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.680 his style, he's not using enough bars, and that might 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.640 be true to you, but like hot in here Ei, 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.839 like all that ship was dope. So people can like 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.040 shoot out canaries and be like he doesn't have range. 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.240 He plays the same character, but literally at least for 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.440 the last few years or so. You know what I'm saying. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.880 I'd say his his ratio is about fifty fifty. You 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.200 know what I'm saying. I think for like each one 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.599 that you don't remember, there's like John Wick or like, 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.719 oh man, he was in the Matrix. Oh he was 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.320 in that one. You know. So Cannery's batting averages for 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.719 you know what I'm gonna see. I'm just gonna shut up. 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.200 I'm gonna see it. It looks cool, you know, let's 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.720 see it. Yeah. Actually, I need to bring back the 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.400 Green Tent. And then I'm kind of nervous. There's only 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.680 one of the only one with Chowski. I need. I 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.480 need both with Chowskis on my movies, you know what 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.039 I'm saying. Like we have both of them on speed Racer, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.320 we have both of them on the first three Batrix. 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.480 I want both of them on this one. But we 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.400 gotta take make do what we got. So yeah, speaking 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.560 of making do and what we got, we got a 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.360 lot of different things to talk about this week. We're 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.839 gonna just kind of go through some of the recent 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:40.600 happenings from Obama's music picks of the year to some 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.240 ship going down in Latin America. We're talking about what's 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:48.040 going on Fox News and potential coop coop coop. I 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.960 remember the first time I ever read the word coop 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.400 and I said it out loud, dumb, and somebody made 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.279 fun of me like I never said, I never said 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.360 that word before. I'm sorry, I don't know I didn't 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.640 have have silent p on the end. But anyway, we're 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.080 gonna have all that and more for y'all after the jump. 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:10.320 All right, everybody, we are back with our pre holiday 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.520 is are we gonna? Are we gonna be back before 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.080 New Year's Um? I mean we can. I was playing 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.000 doing an episode next week, Okay, yeah, so then yeah, 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.880 well I guess we'll be back pre neier. But we 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.240 are going to be doing this before Christmas. So as 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.159 we get ready for the Christmas cheer, we're gonna run 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:31.200 down some very depressing story, so depressing news stories for y'all. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.760 Just give our thoughts about it. So first up, Mariah, 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.600 what you got? Okay? So, I mean this is perhaps 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.560 the source of cheer to some Obama put out his 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.160 annual list of his favorite songs from the year went 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.320 Admittedly to me, feels a little bit tone death in 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:51.080 the face of, you know, the mas and miseration we 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.560 as a society are facing at the this pinnacle of 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.320 late stage capitalism. So what do you have? But yeah, 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.279 I'd like Nobody by Nas and Lauren Hill, which I 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.640 personally thought was a banger. Montero my Little not X 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.640 also a banger. Head Shots I'd say ever Shot also 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:13.320 a banger. Um a Ventura by Bad Bunny was up there. So, like, 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.240 you know, his his taste runs the gamut. I think 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.160 it's something for which he's very proud and tends to 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.080 boast this time of everywhere here like, oh, I'm so worldly. 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.680 It wasn't all the ship. But I mean, why, like 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.320 why do I first of all, why do you all 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.640 think he does this over here? I think that I 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.680 think it's like some pr stuff, you know what I mean. 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.800 It's it's it's considering that he's been doing it consistently 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.920 since his left office. It's one of those sort of 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.080 things that you can make like a press release about 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.239 and you know it just it continues on the quote 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.680 unquote legacy or the myth of Obama and just you know, 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.720 maintains his cultural if I don't think, yeah, I was 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.240 gonna say, I just don't think he wants to end 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.120 up on a ranch doing paintings for the rest of 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.320 his life. You know what I'm saying. They don't have 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.440 a good track record. This is his that, this is 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:04.720 his that Yeah, yeah, I do. I do gotta say, though, 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.000 you know, I think it's I think it's lame to 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:12.120 be honest with you, especially for what he for what 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.840 it for, what it is now, because it is kind 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.120 of like a taste, a taste making playlist for you know, 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.920 like liberal the liberal masses to follow Obama. So I 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.200 don't know, it seems like it would be iller if 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.840 he used it like Oprah used to use her her 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.360 book club list. You remember that, You remember how like 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:36.360 like like off writers who hadn't yet broken nationally would 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.080 kind of like that would be their thing, like oh man, 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:39.920 like Oper included me on her on her book that. 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:41.720 So it would be kind of cool if the list 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.680 was filled with I'm not talking about like super super 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.680 little motherfucker's like me or anything like that, if I 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.040 just mean, you know, like some not like the most popular, 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.720 if the if the three random things that you read 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.360 out are like some of the most popular artists in 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.280 the world, it just seems kind of I don't know, though, 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.720 for the Democratic Party, it's kind of ballsy. Like imagine 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:07.040 Hillary if Hillary Clinton came out with that list, Clinton 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.800 coming out with bud In, Isaia Shot and Little Not definitely, 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.160 but maybe I'm wrong. What do you think I wouldn't 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.880 believe her. I mean, like I've got hot sauce in 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.640 my hand. That's what I wouldn't believe for like something 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.400 consultant like handing her a list of songs that she's 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.080 supposed to like. So then we do are we all? Then? 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:30.520 Are we all sitting here thinking that that Obama is 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:34.160 actually like oh man, I bumped Isaiah shot in bad Buddy. 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.720 Maybe I don't know. I hate to think that it's 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.160 so dry. It just sounds like an elevator in his house. 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.120 I don't know. I feel like that's wrong. I don't 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.000 know Obama I would I don't know. I would be 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.720 shocked if just like if if you could be like 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.960 a fly on the wall, I would be shocked if 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:58.880 Michelle in in Obama aren't listening to you know, late 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.480 late eighties early nineties type stuff, you know, I mean 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.920 like Obama is like, yo, I'll make huge. Yeah you're 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.480 fifty that you you know, it makes sense that you're 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.120 you know that you're you're bumping like maybe you're looking 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.320 for the new post and didn't go some styles peace 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.079 that dropped something, you know like that. That to me 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.120 seems like, yeah, that's what was out when Obama was 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.520 in his like late twenties and early thirties and trip 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.720 like that. Like, I don't think Obama's listening to a 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.720 bad buddy, but that's just me. Well, what I found 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.800 really interesting about this list is that it also um 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.120 featured an anti communist joint that we talked about actually 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:37.920 on our Cuba episode. It's called Patria Vida Evita Um, 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.000 which is if you recall, list has never recalled the 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.760 titles a twist and a slogan popularized by Fidel Castro 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:49.680 in the n Revolution of Patriot Fatherland or death. And 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.480 so these anti communist rappers, some of them were expats, 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.000 you know, living in Miami or whatever, trained to sprays 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.360 into Patria Vita Fatherland and life calling for an end 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.120 to the socialist government in Cuba. And some folks have 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.760 said that this track is even like a CIA plant. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:08.000 There's actually a long history of the CIA using arts 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:14.240 to to destabilize or undermine left wing governments, including in Cuba. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.120 UM and so I just thought it was really funny 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:22.600 um on their particularly considering, you know, under his presidency policy, 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:27.600 relations between the US and Cuba relaxed. Um they left 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:33.240 the travel restrictions. UM. Yeah, reopen their respective embassies and 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.720 stuff like that. UM. And I actually learned that all 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:40.480 of that was facilitated by Pope Francis. I don't know 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.040 if y'all know a lot about Grope Francis. I don't 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.640 know a lot about most popes, but I'm just gonna 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:49.640 go ahead and say that Pope Francis is probably my favorite. UM. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.000 In his speeches, he's like endorsed you b I and 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.679 like urged like a radical response to climate change. But anyway, 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:01.240 so he was like, yo, Obama have then like y'all 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.719 need a fucking chill with the embargo on ship and 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.760 star stuff started getting better. But nonetheless, Uh, it's got 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.760 this this joint on his favorite list. Um that may 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.640 have been that may have been you know, like some 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.360 way crafted by the C. I I don't know, I 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:22.600 think it's definitely politically motivated in my opinion, because, um, 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:26.120 you know, like Republicans are making some inroads with the 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:31.680 Latino demographic for various reasons. Very good point, but one 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.120 of the reasons that that you know, that I've been 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.800 hearing is, oh, you know, a lot of especially older Latinos, 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.240 they have like they're they're they're they're more susceptible to 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.280 the right wing propaganda about socialism and communism and stuff 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.840 like that. So I think that this, you know, this 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:53.920 could be you know, virtues like hey, we're anti communists. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.600 I know, I think I'm thinking of the Brazil episode. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:02.680 But I just remember that part icular song, like I 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.360 remember that ship being hard as fun. It is kind 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:09.200 of the music video already, Like it's actually pretty like 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.160 it's somewhat of a banger. Yeah, it's see now that one. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:17.040 Whether it's about communists or not, that ship sounds like 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.720 some ship that Barack Obama was listening to him. Ok, 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.880 you know what, Like that sounds like some dusty some 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.920 dusty boom bout. Although I mean it sounds like a 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.640 response like do you remember in Seen when it looked 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.320 like Bernie was going to take the nomination, and you 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.160 had every large donor go on every news station saying 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.280 I wish he would just drop the socialist part. And 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.600 I feel like they have gotten scared, Like that's a 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:48.320 scary proposition if I can't make the younger people kind 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:53.480 of like glom onto capitalism as it sits and they 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:57.760 start revolting. You have Black Lives Matter talking about police issues, 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:02.520 you have ant all the anti fascist movements for clear reasons. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.440 I don't know, this seems like a bid for the 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.439 Democratic Party at least maybe maybe not consciously. I mean, 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.200 i'd like to think it was. He seems like a 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.720 tactician in that way, right, He's like the Captain American President. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.400 For me, I think it's like a little bit of 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.040 a little bit of both. Like I think there's an 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.880 element of it that is, like, you know, kind of oblivious, like, oh, 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:24.880 it's a it's a fluffy playlist and ship like that. 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.720 But I would not put it past them to be 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.480 to have that in consideration. I mean, it was it 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.720 was a big it was a relative. It's a relatively 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.960 popular song, you know what I mean. It was something 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.120 that came up in me and Mariah search As when 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.800 we were talking about Cuba, you know, so yeah, I 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.840 can see that well. Speaking of toppling left wing governments, 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:50.840 um uh, there is a presidential election in Chile, um 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:55.680 Sunday and Gabriel Borick, a leftist millennial who were roast 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.960 a prominence during anti government protests in two thousand nineteen. 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:03.240 They like hiked the subway fairs all across Tile and 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.200 people lost it and they were like mass protests all 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.640 over Chili's tule. So he like kind of came up 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.200 and all that. He got elected with of the votes, 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:18.280 handily defeating uh Jose Antonio cost whose grandfather was an 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:24.640 actual Nazi like like like one of the one of 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:29.000 the like we fled to South America Nazis. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:33.360 like high up in like the Nazi military. Uh never, 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:38.720 you know, like yeah and yeah. And so it's in 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.800 the aftermath of the election. It's been wild watching outlets 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:47.840 like the BBC like interview folks like the grandson of 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:53.520 Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet on their networks, and he's on 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.880 there talking about all the downfall of his great country, 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.880 like to which I say, l M A O fuck um. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.120 But then one article I read even tried to say 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:07.440 that like Chilean Jews were concerned about Boricks pro Palestine 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:11.720 stands even though and I repeat, his opponent's grandfather was 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:16.120 an actual Nazi um and not to mention, Chile has 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.920 the largest Palestinian population of any place outside Palestine. So 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.560 like it's just so funny, like people are just so 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.280 trying so hard to discredit him doing a really poor 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.440 job because it's like, bro, like Homie was a Nazi. 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.359 You're you're up here dragging out like his the Pinochet's 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:41.280 grandchildren from like the basement. Uh right, you have to 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.320 do one or two things. You have to give something 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.200 to most people that they did they like and cherish, 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.520 which is really hard to get through any congressional body, 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.040 no matter what country you're in, unless you're a dictator 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.240 or you take away something and blame it on the 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.880 other guy. That's pretty much how we do it here. 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.960 I think that's kind of simplified. But people's brains, I 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:06.199 don't know, people's brains be turning into because it's like 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.760 look for no for real, man, like come on, like 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.720 like just what is the explanation for that? Like like 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:18.080 how like what what cognitance? What dissidence is going on 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:23.480 to where you're like, oh man, you're supporting Palestine and 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.440 the other Niggas and Nazi you know what I mean, 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.199 or like you know, related to Nazi. Just there's just 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.960 there's like a there's like a level of intellectual dishonest 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.600 that it's like I don't believe you. I don't believe 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.960 that that's what you're problem is, you know what I'm saying, 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.439 Like like if somebody's like, oh man, I don't like 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.480 him because he's he's against Israel, but then you're supporting 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.600 the other guy, then I just have to like think 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.520 that you're being disingenuous from the job. You might like 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.520 really actually not like the guy for you know, leftist 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:56.080 policies or whatever whatever. But I don't think that aspect 0:17:56.119 --> 0:18:00.240 of the game is really what's upsetting. Does that make sense? Yeah, 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.399 for sure. I mean I feel like somebody like they 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.840 were told to write this or felt like they were 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.840 they had to like kind of uphold the status quo 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.760 of like, you know, our country lots of country supporting 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.200 is real, and like they came back to the editor 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:16.960 like I don't know, man, I'm not sure if this 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:18.840 is making sense. They're like, no, we gotta run it. 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.400 Let's run it, like, don't ask you know, don't ask 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.960 you questions, don't actually apply any logic to what you 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.920 have written down on this piece of paper. Run it's 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.320 see the headline and just retweeted or whatever, like oh 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:37.200 my god. Yeah that And maybe we'll do a whole 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:41.719 episode because the history of like left wing like democracy 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.359 democracy in Chile is very interesting. Um, but I won't 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.359 get all into it now, but hey, we should, you know, 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.080 I was just thinking this just reminded me, and since 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.399 we're just talking and just gonna talk, we should do 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:57.480 an episode about China's growing influence on the continent of Africa. Oh, bro, 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:00.600 that ship is fascinating. I was doing some reading about 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.320 that too, because when I was a kid, you know, 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.080 growing up just in different countries in Africa and stuff, 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.399 I would always you know, see, there was always like 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:12.160 a military relationship between some of the governments and Israel. 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:16.040 So you know, I like my first actual real girlfriend 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.640 was like an Israeli and her father was like an 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:23.320 Israeli military guy, and I always used to seeing Israeli officers, 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:28.280 you know, patrolling along with Liberian or African police or 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.959 um training them and stuff like that. And now I 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.359 think it seems like China's kind of in in the 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.159 last few decades. It seems seems like China's overtaking that 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:39.800 role to where they're doing a lot of that training, 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.360 a lot of that infrastructure investment and stuff like that. 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.120 And I mean, obviously nobody's given anything for free, so 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.520 you would imagine that there's some sort of, uh, whether 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.920 it be political or economic interest in it for China, 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.919 but it just it seems like they're going into hyper 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:58.920 drive with it. And you know, there's a lot of 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.000 a lot of infrastructure projects and going on in Africa 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.280 right now that are totally cool and seemed totally you 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.399 know cool, and it's like, oh man, that's like a 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.800 that damn is a Chinese investment. I wonder, I wonder 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.240 what what's what they're getting out of that, But that's 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:13.600 something that we can go into. It's just so we're 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.600 talking about, yeah, stuff for the new year. Um So 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.960 back to Obama. What do y'all think about Obama's legacy? Generally, 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:24.479 it's a it's gonna be a mixed bag, you know. 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.520 It's um, I think it's it's still too fresh to 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.960 really put into full perspective. You know, the homies only 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:36.160 not been president for four years right or through five years? 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:41.280 So um, you know, I think from from anything from 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:46.480 oh Trump came in the aftermath to you pretty much 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:51.199 continued Bush's Iraq policy for a long ast time. You 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.639 weren't strong enough, You didn't do enough when you have 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.560 the super majority. There's a lot of tainted stuff in there, 0:20:56.600 --> 0:21:00.760 but I think there's enough platitudes too, had the stats 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:04.720 that I think overall his legacy will be as favorable 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:08.000 as an American president's Canada too. Yeah, I think that 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:12.640 it's gonna I look at it favorably, mostly in comparison 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.360 to now. I don't remember a lot about Clinton all 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.159 except for reading like everybody else did. Right. Um, I 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.959 think that Obama will be looked at super kind. Uh. 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:27.399 I think he made some poor, poor military decisions and 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:31.000 foreign policy decisions, and he was just real timid about 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.080 making any large changes in the United States. And I 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.000 think he was far too timid. He could have got 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.120 away with a lot more, especially with the super majority 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.560 in the beginning. But I mean, he acts like his 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:43.320 hands were tied behind his back, like Biden's kind of are, 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:46.840 but they weren't. I don't know, but that's also the 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:50.800 congressional fault at that point. I mean, I don't know 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:53.639 that's true. You generally have a very short window in 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:57.960 which to accomplish anything when a party gains a majority 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.280 in Congress, because almost in a dobly they lose that 0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:04.359 majority in the following mid terms. But it's so funny. 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.720 I got into an argument, like on Facebook with this cat. 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.199 I was like talking about Obama and this dude with 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:13.040 like no profile, pick like six friends or some ship, 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.280 jumped in. I was talking it on me, and I 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:16.639 was like, you know what, I don't even like the 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:18.720 flex on niggas like this. But I went through and 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.960 laid out all of my legislative accomplishments, including raising the 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.879 minimum watricity employees in fifteen dollars an hour, and he 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:31.840 was like, that ain't ship. And then I was like, yeah, 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:34.520 you're right. Wouldn't have been great if the most powerful 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:36.880 person in the world from two thousand eight until two 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.679 thousand and sixteen had done something about that issue. So 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:43.080 I did, so we could be talking about twenty three 0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:46.760
