Speaker 1: So listen, if you check the rule books and this
Speaker 1: can I don't care if you're talking the Pathos, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, the bees and seas, you know,
Speaker 1: the gangster disciples. It don't matter. When you come to Ourhood,
Speaker 1: you have to tap in, you check in, and if
Speaker 1: you don't check in, it's not only is it a
Speaker 1: disrespectful it's by design supposed to put you and yours
Speaker 1: in danger, because checking in is acknowledging that I'm the
Speaker 1: big dog over here. This is my hood, this is
Speaker 1: my spot, that's my body, or whatever you want to say.
Speaker 1: This our block, you know. And if we say you're
Speaker 1: good over here and you're good over here, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't go talk to them foods. You don't go
Speaker 1: talk to them foods. You tap in with US only
Speaker 1: because we run this block right and if everything goes
Speaker 1: according to how it's sold to you, then that makes
Speaker 1: you all right. Of course, you got enemies, whatever the case. Maybe,
Speaker 1: but you're not in your enemyhood, you you're not in theirhood,
Speaker 1: you in our hood. This our block. You tap in
Speaker 1: with us. You don't tap in with our little homies,
Speaker 1: you don't tap in with our BGS. You don't tap
Speaker 1: in with any of the set. You tap in specifically
Speaker 1: with the lgs, with the hood. This will you tap
Speaker 1: in with right and if something go wrong, like if
Speaker 1: you get hurt, you get robbed, you get start because, listen,
Speaker 1: don't call me after. You were supposed to tap in
Speaker 1: when you got here and tap in. If you don't
Speaker 1: know what that means, it's real simple. Just let us
Speaker 1: know if you're coming over here. Let us know. It's
Speaker 1: a matter of respect. You, you, you, you're respecting the
Speaker 1: work we put in on this block and you understand
Speaker 1: that we're the big dogs. We're the big step. Is
Speaker 1: What we say. Goes and again. If something happened to you,
Speaker 1: M that's on you. Don't call me later. You should
Speaker 1: have tapped in. You gotta handle that. You, you, you
Speaker 1: big dog like that day, handle that stuff yourself. But
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't tap in with these particular folks because
Speaker 1: you don't respect that gangster or you trying to make
Speaker 1: a point. I'M gonna go check in with WHO I
Speaker 1: check in. I'M gonna go chill with WHO I want
Speaker 1: to chill with. I don't care what you say. You
Speaker 1: Get mad if you won't all right with them and
Speaker 1: put it on. How with it. Either these people are
Speaker 1: all three of the people in these stories are the
Speaker 1: person coming in, the person demanding the tap in and
Speaker 1: the person who actually got the TAP in. This could
Speaker 1: start some some drama. Yeah, and if you're a civilian
Speaker 1: or you just happen to live on these blocks, or
Speaker 1: you actually do, you don't participate in the missions that
Speaker 1: you gotta Bust Uh you, you just turn the heat up.
Speaker 1: The block just got hot. You don't by this unspoken
Speaker 1: gesture of diplomacy. See, this is aod diplomacy right here.
Speaker 1: This is this is a good way to understand diplomacy.
Speaker 1: You gotta tap in like this is diplomacy. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And if you don't follow these particular protocols,
Speaker 1: then it's gonna be a problem for everybody. And sometimes,
Speaker 1: if you're not paying attention or if you don't know
Speaker 1: what you're looking at, you may be missing all this
Speaker 1: stuff and it may not seem like it's such a
Speaker 1: big deal, especially when this happens, oh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. I know
Speaker 1: this happened a couple of months ago, but y'all don't
Speaker 1: know what might have gotten started. Let's let's talk about
Speaker 1: China and Taiwan politics. All right, y'all, welcome to her politics. Listen,
Speaker 1: these are one of these things that hit the news
Speaker 1: that like. I love these things because they give me
Speaker 1: a chance to really teach you feel me, to really
Speaker 1: tap into pun intended the knowledge that a lot of
Speaker 1: us inner city folks just know you know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying and really don't realize like you can use this,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean that's the essence of this show.
Speaker 1: You could use this. You actually understand what's going on
Speaker 1: right now. Uh, it's just you need somebody to point
Speaker 1: it to you, unless you ain't already figured it out.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. Diplomacy is what people call war
Speaker 1: without death, and I know that that seems like a
Speaker 1: weird thing to say, because some people say war is
Speaker 1: diplomacy with guns. The part what makes it so hard
Speaker 1: is that there's no I joked in the intro about
Speaker 1: like checking the rule book, but there is no written texts,
Speaker 1: there's no constitution, you know what I'm saying, for us
Speaker 1: to actually appeal to. There's just collected ancestral knowledge. You
Speaker 1: gotta Know How those foods move. You have to understand
Speaker 1: how they work. And again, like going back to my childhood,
Speaker 1: which is which is why I feel qualified to talk
Speaker 1: about this stuff, is that you have to just know
Speaker 1: how they move. You don't have to be a member,
Speaker 1: you just have to know how they move. And if
Speaker 1: you understand how they move, then you know how you
Speaker 1: need to move. And there are some generalities, generalities. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's worth there are some generalizations you
Speaker 1: can make around the way you're protecting of your borders,
Speaker 1: if you will work, and when someone is trying to
Speaker 1: rule the block, when they're trying to rule the hood. UH,
Speaker 1: your pride, the pride and the respect like, uh, gang life,
Speaker 1: you know, is in a lot of ways really it's
Speaker 1: honor culture. You know, if you look at any of
Speaker 1: the honor civilizations, like even going back to like stupid
Speaker 1: seventeen hundred duels, like I challenge you to a duel.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's about your honor. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And is it honor in its
Speaker 1: pure sense? Not. Most it's really ego like. Let's be real.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But you need to respect
Speaker 1: my gangster, you need to respect my block, respect my conglomerate,
Speaker 1: as the great profit bust, the rhymes, has told us,
Speaker 1: you gotta respect your conglomerate, whether this is East Coast,
Speaker 1: west coast, whatever the case may be. This my building,
Speaker 1: this my hood. You don't come in here. I'm the
Speaker 1: big boss, you know what I'm saying. I'm the DON Carleone.
Speaker 1: This are set. We run this town. You respect us,
Speaker 1: and how that respect is earned is usually via blood.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and the blood is the
Speaker 1: intimidation factor. In a lot of ways it's it's the warning.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and those stories gotta travel.
Speaker 1: You feel me, and you gotta make sure that everybody
Speaker 1: around y'all understand that it's safer for you if you
Speaker 1: just roll with us, if you just pay your taxes.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Respect the O G s
Speaker 1: will make sure you are. You all right. Don't go
Speaker 1: to war with us. You know what I'm saying and
Speaker 1: want you in. There's no getting out unless we let
Speaker 1: you out, but odds are we ain't gonna let you out.
Speaker 1: You just don't do that. Now my wife, she Dr Alminansari,
Speaker 1: goes to Petty Brag about all the time. She's got
Speaker 1: a book coming out of November. It's called Ching going on, Um,
Speaker 1: finding your inner badass to discover your healing or I'm paraphrasing,
Speaker 1: but it's super dope. Any Latinos out there, you know,
Speaker 1: Ching going out, you know what I'm saying. Anyway, she
Speaker 1: has a very unique story, which she'll talk about in
Speaker 1: her book, but one of the things that I was
Speaker 1: interesting with her is like her part of like sort
Speaker 1: of southeast l a that she's from. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: name the set, uh, because we might ask some problems,
Speaker 1: but when she was younger, she was actually allowed to
Speaker 1: walk out, and that's really unheard of, uh, and it was. Honestly,
Speaker 1: it's pretty it's it's really like, you know, it's divine intervention.
Speaker 1: Like basically, she her little her little hood, saw her
Speaker 1: report guard at her grades were phenomenal and they were
Speaker 1: like fam what the Hell is this? You know, and
Speaker 1: she was like well, like that will kill me if
Speaker 1: I don't get good grades, and they was like your
Speaker 1: dad cares, you know, and there was like Nah, fam
Speaker 1: like you got a future, you know, you you know
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be doing this, and she was like, well,
Speaker 1: who am I gonna hang out with? They was like,
Speaker 1: they're not us. You're saying you got a future, you
Speaker 1: need to go live your life. You'RE gonna get out
Speaker 1: of here. They're like, look, weird, this is all we're
Speaker 1: gonna do, like this is it. We don't sign up for.
Speaker 1: This is all we're gonna do. Uh, you should go listen.
Speaker 1: That never happens. So she is a living and breathing miracle,
Speaker 1: but you gotta get her book chain gonna, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, follow her the DOT Z P anyway.
Speaker 1: That's not that's not understand. That's not how it go. Now,
Speaker 1: if yo little set, you know what I'm saying, your
Speaker 1: Little Hood, you and your little homies. You don't want
Speaker 1: to be like up under these big homies no more,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, up under this particular set,
Speaker 1: then you gotta go to war for that. They're not
Speaker 1: just gonna let you walk out, and that's a lot
Speaker 1: of bloodshed, and especially if you're taking on the boss,
Speaker 1: you're taking on a big set, then gee, like, if
Speaker 1: you ain't got them things on, you ain't got them Blicky,
Speaker 1: you ain't got enough manpower, then this is this is
Speaker 1: gonna be bloody, you know, and so, or at least
Speaker 1: you need to believe it is, so you don't just
Speaker 1: walk out. You know what I'm saying. You don't just
Speaker 1: declare your own you don't start making your own in
Speaker 1: rows and connections. You're not supposed to do that. You'
Speaker 1: puposed to run everything through the set. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: run it through the block so that in return, we
Speaker 1: break you off. When there's some missions going on, there's
Speaker 1: some licks going on, you feel me, you got our protection.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, when somebody with, somebody tapping,
Speaker 1: like we got your back. If, like, if stuff go down,
Speaker 1: if you if you were seeing one of the reds
Speaker 1: pull up, you know what I'm saying. Like, if you
Speaker 1: roll with us, you know what I'm saying. You put
Speaker 1: in that work, you bust that mission, like we got you,
Speaker 1: and in return, you do what the Hell we tell
Speaker 1: you to do and you don't go make your own money.
Speaker 1: We we you know what I'm saying. You run your
Speaker 1: positions up to us. At some point you'RE gonna get
Speaker 1: tired of it. If you're the love block, I mean
Speaker 1: if you're feeling frog. You didn't jump, you either go
Speaker 1: to war with them, or you get somebody to back
Speaker 1: y'all from somewhere else. The problem is, though, that might work.
Speaker 1: You might get somebody to back you, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You might get somebody else to come up
Speaker 1: here and be like Yo, we got them things too,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, to be like hey, you
Speaker 1: need to lead a little home alone. They run with
Speaker 1: us now, but see, that's the rug. Now, you run
Speaker 1: with them, you're not getting your independence. You just run
Speaker 1: it with somebody else. So when you affiliated or you're
Speaker 1: civilian just like me, you gotta Watch all this stuff
Speaker 1: because you need to know what that got to do
Speaker 1: with me. I need to know, especially, like if we're
Speaker 1: gonna keep it in the in the teenage, little young
Speaker 1: young life sort of gang situation, I need to know
Speaker 1: which party is it okay for me to go to,
Speaker 1: you know, if I got a little crush on something,
Speaker 1: you know, a little girl. I need to make sure
Speaker 1: you feel me that if I make a move on this,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna get me set up later, because I'm
Speaker 1: saying this as a CISTER, gender, heterosexual, you know, Male.
Speaker 1: If I'm like, okay, but her brother with them, but
Speaker 1: her uncle mess with dad and maybe her cousin don't
Speaker 1: get along with my hood. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And even though I'm not even in it, it don't matter.
Speaker 1: I'm from over there. I don't know if you remember,
Speaker 1: we talked about the four year old version scene with
Speaker 1: Steve Krell and and and Kevin hard at the store, Um,
Speaker 1: the fake best buy store that they all worked at.
Speaker 1: When Kevin hard was like Hey, he with you? It's
Speaker 1: like I'm coming up and I'm clapping both of y'all.
Speaker 1: Want you to get back. He's like, I didn't say anything.
Speaker 1: Kevin hard was like you don't can matter if you
Speaker 1: with them. I'm clapping both of y'all. So you don't
Speaker 1: want to find yourself in that situation. You feel me.
Speaker 1: So you need to watch what's happening now for this
Speaker 1: to make any sense as to why US way over
Speaker 1: here in the US of a need to care what
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi did or how America is messing with China
Speaker 1: and Taiwan. You need to understand how tapping in works
Speaker 1: and let's do some history. You already all right? We're
Speaker 1: back for you to really understand, like the way to
Speaker 1: what's happening right now. And why you need to care.
Speaker 1: Short of just you being able to know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about all the time, we gotta go back in
Speaker 1: time a little bit to the nineteen forties. Unfortunately, if
Speaker 1: you grew up in America, you know very little about
Speaker 1: Asian history. Yeah, I mean little you know, and and
Speaker 1: a little you know. It's probably remarkably racist. I remember
Speaker 1: junior hide, him saying like yeah, Japan and China was
Speaker 1: closed off to the West until there, like nobody even
Speaker 1: we don't know what happened over there. I'm like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean? Well, word yo saying a lot happened.
Speaker 1: We were taught as if it was just like a
Speaker 1: sort of a historical black hole, like they were just,
Speaker 1: you know, they're still doing dynasties like they were ancient
Speaker 1: or something. Anyway, I'm off, I'm off, I'm off the
Speaker 1: rails here. Day history just like everybody else's history. Wars, famine, success, innovations.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just as rich and interesting and conflicted
Speaker 1: as everybody else's history. Now, China had in the nineteen
Speaker 1: and nine bloody, nasty, awful civil war, like it was
Speaker 1: bad and it ended with the losing army. Air quotes.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm running through nine years of history here.
Speaker 1: In nine losing army fled to Taiwan, right, and they
Speaker 1: founded a new government over there. Here's where it gets confusing.
Speaker 1: The actual name of the country of Taiwan is the
Speaker 1: Republic of China, while as China, as we know, it
Speaker 1: is the People's Republic of China. Because they just be
Speaker 1: they be a petty with each other, you know, because
Speaker 1: they were arguing over who the real China. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, when you're having a civil war, it
Speaker 1: was just like the civil war in America. Of course,
Speaker 1: it wasn't over slaves, but the idea of like the
Speaker 1: confederate states of America. They believed that they were the
Speaker 1: true America. In the United States of America Ain't the
Speaker 1: real America. So if you could imagine the confederacy not
Speaker 1: just like breaking off, but like that army going to like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Puerto Rico and then calling it America,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? Like you gotta picture it
Speaker 1: like that, right. So they formed a nation called the
Speaker 1: Republic of China, and China to being salty about that
Speaker 1: ever since. So China been blocking them, kind of salting them,
Speaker 1: kind of start trying to start them out for the
Speaker 1: whole time being like Yo, don't nobody mess with them. Y'All,
Speaker 1: can't mess with them. They know they're not their own country.
Speaker 1: Niggad they still with us? No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you can't sunk with them, because they are you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, they're not a really and if you
Speaker 1: mess with them, if you start, if you you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, you tap in with them, you mess
Speaker 1: with them, then you got a problem with us because
Speaker 1: you can't take them serious. They're trying to steal our name. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: they lost. They're not a real country. They tried to
Speaker 1: square up and they lost. It's over. That's China's attitude
Speaker 1: about it. You're not real. You know, Taiwan and in
Speaker 1: the Republican China now again. I'm not comparing them to
Speaker 1: the confederates in the sense that like, I look Al Kay,
Speaker 1: there's no other way. That's like it. In America, the
Speaker 1: confederates are the bad guys, like you, just I don't
Speaker 1: you look y'all the bad guys. You are the antagonists. You, you,
Speaker 1: you wrong. You know what I'm saying. It's not that
Speaker 1: simple over there. Right, and we don't got time to
Speaker 1: go into like the the full history of China, but
Speaker 1: just understand it. It's not that simple, it's not that
Speaker 1: count dry. I'm just saying that they were the losing army, right,
Speaker 1: and they founded a whole government over there and because
Speaker 1: of that they've been like the the underdog. They've been
Speaker 1: under China's thumb this whole time and trying to keep
Speaker 1: blocking them. No matter what they try to do, China
Speaker 1: always in the way. And the problem is China got
Speaker 1: them things Trya got them armies trying, you know, China
Speaker 1: got them Blickies, they got them tanks and they got
Speaker 1: this history right, and they also got the bread. And
Speaker 1: when you got the bread, then you could make different
Speaker 1: moves than anybody. And every time China or Taiwan trying
Speaker 1: to get on their feet, I'm trying, trying to set
Speaker 1: up some licks, trying to get their situation together, China
Speaker 1: always in here like like like, you know, just, for
Speaker 1: lack of better term, cop blocking, like they just blocking
Speaker 1: all the time. Just haters. Like if you Taiwan, it's like, man,
Speaker 1: y'all just haters. Y'All are violent haters, no matter what.
Speaker 1: You just drinking hatterade all the time. Man, let me live.
Speaker 1: Can I live China like now? You can't live, or
Speaker 1: you could live as long as you just like, you know,
Speaker 1: follow the rules, stay with us. And then trying to
Speaker 1: turn to the whole world. It was like, Hey, nobody
Speaker 1: messed with them. If you mess with them, we got
Speaker 1: issues now. And why that's so difficult for anyone to even,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of touches, because not only do trying
Speaker 1: to got them things, trying to be making stuff. Dog We,
Speaker 1: you know, in this global economy family, we need them.
Speaker 1: Don't like. Don't hey, dog like. We need them. Don't
Speaker 1: let nobody lie to your homy. We we need them.
Speaker 1: Our supply chain is absolutely one connected with us staying
Speaker 1: good with China. Now America stancing artist has been what
Speaker 1: they called strategic ambiguity, which basically means, man, that's y'all. Look,
Speaker 1: I ain't in at Hommy like the old folks you say,
Speaker 1: when we was kids. My name is Bennett nine. Ain't
Speaker 1: in it. You know the rules during the nineties. If
Speaker 1: you were, you know, of African American descent and you
Speaker 1: was about that life, even though we was in the
Speaker 1: same hoods, right next door to the Latino, the Rollos,
Speaker 1: and they was about that life. We was like, look,
Speaker 1: we stay out of that. That's day stuff. We'll work
Speaker 1: with y'all to get this money. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because you know, the weight was coming up from the border.
Speaker 1: So we'll, we'll connect with you that. But that's whatever.
Speaker 1: That's whatever's going on with y'all, that's between y'all. I
Speaker 1: ain't got nothing to say about that. But, like, we'll
Speaker 1: respect your system. You know what I'm saying, like, if
Speaker 1: this is what it is, then we'll do what it is.
Speaker 1: So so America stands traditionally has been. Look that that
Speaker 1: be for you guys with your homie. That's between you
Speaker 1: and your homie. You know what I'm saying, like that's
Speaker 1: not that's not our issue. If y'all say that's what
Speaker 1: it is, that's what it is. So we will, at
Speaker 1: least publicly and on paper, respect the big dog. You're
Speaker 1: saying this show block, this show block. It is what
Speaker 1: it is, just like one one though problems. We also
Speaker 1: ain't trying to see no wars over here, because if
Speaker 1: y'all start, I'll start beefing, y'all start shooting. It messes
Speaker 1: up our bags. So, like, as long as everybody cool,
Speaker 1: y'll figure that out. That's between you and Taiwan. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Uh, that's our our our public stance.
Speaker 1: While on the load, we've been jipping at Taiwan, like,
Speaker 1: but we got you, though. That's that's trash what they're
Speaker 1: doing to y'all. Man, if y'all want to do y'all thing,
Speaker 1: y'all do y'all thing, just like just keep it on
Speaker 1: the load, just like. You know what I'm saying. Hit
Speaker 1: the burner phone like don't just just play it low, like,
Speaker 1: don't put it on your instagram. You feel me, but
Speaker 1: like we're good dog, like we ain't gonna look if
Speaker 1: y'all go to war. We ain't gonna necessarily publicly choose sides,
Speaker 1: but if y'all need some of them things, we got you.
Speaker 1: That's been America's stance the entire time. But listen, don't
Speaker 1: that sound like some side chick energy? Don't you? At
Speaker 1: some point, if you're the big dog or you the
Speaker 1: side chick, you're gonna be like, I'm gonna need you
Speaker 1: to say something like this. This, this don't work for
Speaker 1: me no more. I'm gonna need y'all to like to
Speaker 1: say something, because you see the stuff China doing. You
Speaker 1: see how they fraudulent, you see how they move and
Speaker 1: you know that's not right. That's Taiwan saying. You see
Speaker 1: how they move, you know that's not right. And China
Speaker 1: like look, you really you want to smoke with us?
Speaker 1: Don't gonna say what you need to say. You know
Speaker 1: what it is. You don't want to smoke with us.
Speaker 1: Stop talking like like you don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: Stop talking like look man, like, Hey, if you with us,
Speaker 1: you with us. If you're not, you not. You need
Speaker 1: to stand on your square. Stop playing all this like
Speaker 1: Willy Nilly. You know what I'm saying, wishy washy Milwaukee
Speaker 1: type stuff, like are you with us or not? And
Speaker 1: in the nineties, like look, because China about that action.
Speaker 1: They've gone. They've had squirmishes ever since. Like in the
Speaker 1: nineties you had like the third Taiwan straight joint where
Speaker 1: like foods was like really scrapping. Y'All remember the tenement
Speaker 1: square stuff this. Now we're getting into why, why this
Speaker 1: was such a big deal with Nancy. Nancy been about
Speaker 1: that action. Nancy been very clear this whole time. Nancy
Speaker 1: showed up back in the day like Um at the
Speaker 1: tenement square, like anniversary, being like Y'all did this wrong?
Speaker 1: We're here for democracy, I know what it is. But
Speaker 1: since she ain't the president, again, going back to forty
Speaker 1: all virgins, you ain't the president, but the President by
Speaker 1: Association messes with you, so that means that's the stance
Speaker 1: of America. Now we've got a problem. But don't nobody
Speaker 1: want to mess up the bag, though. You feel me?
Speaker 1: Nobody want to mess up the bag. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, y'all just can't keep talking reckless like this,
Speaker 1: because you know, China reckless, like I don't like listen,
Speaker 1: but they reckless. Here's where it gets ill day, reckless.
Speaker 1: In the same way, re reckless. We get to the
Speaker 1: bag and, whether you want to admit it or not,
Speaker 1: we prove our weight and blood too. Yes, we do.
Speaker 1: If you don't like I'm I'm assuming if you listen
Speaker 1: to politics, you already know that that we we bout
Speaker 1: that light. When it comes down to it, don't get
Speaker 1: so anyway, Nancy, in the middle of July, Nancy pulls
Speaker 1: up on this trip over all of Asia. Now she
Speaker 1: ain't just go to Taiwan, she went to Singapore, she
Speaker 1: went to Malaysia, she went to South Korea, and her
Speaker 1: reason for going, at least publicly, was I'm just tapping
Speaker 1: in with our allies. So even that is already shade,
Speaker 1: because you ain't tap in with China. He's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I just want to go see the homies. You ain't
Speaker 1: called me, though. How y'all feel with some of the
Speaker 1: homies come from come from out of town. They come chill.
Speaker 1: You catch them on their instagram, you catch them on
Speaker 1: their on their socials day out at dinner where all
Speaker 1: the homies except you ain't nobody call you. And what

Speaker 1: one enemy. How you down here? You ain't even call me,
Speaker 1: fam you just out here and enjoying a brunch after

Speaker 1: enough to be like, Oh, well, that means that you

Speaker 1: that childish, but nations are right anyway. So Nancy, pull
Speaker 1: up now on the load. Nancy got all kind of
Speaker 1: money Nancy might be checking on her bitches. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Like, I hate to say it like that,
Speaker 1: but Nancy got her money. She might be checking on
Speaker 1: some of her investments. You feel me, Nancy, about that money?
Speaker 1: You Yeah, and I mean you kind of gotta be, because,

Speaker 1: I ain't cool with him. I mean, I'll follow the rules,
Speaker 1: but like, listen, I'll mess with them. And it's been
Speaker 1: since that way back in the nineties that anybody at
Speaker 1: that rank of US government official has gone over there,
Speaker 1: to Taiwan and tap in with him. China is like
Speaker 1: the disrespect this is. I'm hot at both for y'all.
Speaker 1: I'm hot of America, because you know better how to
Speaker 1: Taiwan because you're feeling froggy. So China and them is like,
Speaker 1: all right, we need to show you, we need to
Speaker 1: show you how these things going on around here. Trying
Speaker 1: to start busting off shots, trying to start driving slow
Speaker 1: through your neighborhood with the lights off, just looking at you,
Speaker 1: trying to start shooting guns in the air. You feel me,
Speaker 1: trying to start flying planes around the corner. You understand
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. China like, all right, cool. Let me
Speaker 1: just remind you that I got them things just in
Speaker 1: case you ever feel like you could do this again.
Speaker 1: We don't. We got guns. Fam Listen, let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. There is nothing more scary than you're sitting
Speaker 1: outside in the Lolo, slowly turned the corner right, driving
Speaker 1: real slow. They're not doing nothing, they're driving real slow
Speaker 1: and just looking out the window. You're looking in the
Speaker 1: car like Yo, who that? Who that? Like, don't nobody
Speaker 1: want to start shooting just yet, just in case it
Speaker 1: is nothing. But when something like this go down, you
Speaker 1: know it's something like it's it's gonna get cracking. Now
Speaker 1: if you just happen to be three houses down from
Speaker 1: where the homies are sitting on the porch, you're like,
Speaker 1: Oh God, everybody getting the House, everybody get in the house.
Speaker 1: You don't go outside for the next few days because
Speaker 1: it's about to get hot. Some somethingna go down. Everybody
Speaker 1: go inside. Uh, if you was just, let's say you
Speaker 1: were just visiting your cousin, and then you're like, all right, y'all,
Speaker 1: want to come stay with us? You can't go over
Speaker 1: Granny House for the next couple of weeks something. It's
Speaker 1: crazy on her block right now. So that's just unless
Speaker 1: you about that life. Then you're like, all right, action,
Speaker 1: who that? Get that next. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Figure out who that is. You know who that is.
Speaker 1: You start calling around a blue, blue Elderado, and you
Speaker 1: know them Niggas like yeah, that's all. And so you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And and and if you're China,
Speaker 1: I want you to know that that's my blue ipolo.
Speaker 1: You Post to know that's my blue epolo. If you Taiwan,
Speaker 1: you absolutely know whose that is. They're trying to tell you,
Speaker 1: like listen, we're watching, streets, is watching, because that's what
Speaker 1: they're trying to tell you, and you out here playing,
Speaker 1: you playing games with Our Name, like this America. See

Speaker 1: we got things. You got guns. We got guns. They
Speaker 1: start busting on some shots too. America, like listen, we

Speaker 1: but don't play with me, don't play with me and
Speaker 1: my homies if you're gonna push us on some like
Speaker 1: Lord Wayne, I ain't a killer, but don't push me
Speaker 1: on some pock. I ain't killer, but don't push me.
Speaker 1: That's what they're saying right now. Like listen, don't push us.
Speaker 1: The difference between America and Park is we are killers, Yo, say, like,
Speaker 1: don't listen. We're we're shooters. So it's hot over there.
Speaker 1: The temperature just rose. Is there anybody's fault? I mean,
Speaker 1: was everybody's fault? You can't listen. The way that the
Speaker 1: world is set up, you can't stay out of it.
Speaker 1: It's just it's impossible. It's impossible to stay out of it.
Speaker 1: Just like I said, listen, just like I said, growing
Speaker 1: up out here, it's impossible to stay out of it.
Speaker 1: You could go to the I. E. that's the inland empire,
Speaker 1: the air quote suburbs, but that they active. They active
Speaker 1: over there too. There was a one of my homeboys
Speaker 1: was telling me, like he older gentlemen, you know, he
Speaker 1: got about ten years on me, but he's like, you know,
Speaker 1: he's from Van Eyes, which is like the valley, but
Speaker 1: he was a surfer dude and he tried to go
Speaker 1: down to San Pedro to kind of Surf Down there.
Speaker 1: Is Jan Pedro's the southernmost sort of l a county city. Uh,
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of surfers down there and they
Speaker 1: ain't bang too saying. So I'm like, there's no escaping
Speaker 1: it's what I'm trying to say. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So at some point you're gonna be a party. You
Speaker 1: can't you can't live here and not somehow be affected
Speaker 1: by it. And it's the same with geopolitics. You can't
Speaker 1: be on the planet and not be affected by it.
Speaker 1: It's I just don't know what I just don't know
Speaker 1: what else to tell you. So it's hot over there. Now,
Speaker 1: why should we care? For a number of reasons. One,
Speaker 1: you have to remember how much China really really messes
Speaker 1: with Russia. Like China mess with them, mess with them heavy.
Speaker 1: And what is Russia doing. Russia essentially flexing on Ukraine
Speaker 1: the way China wanna flex on Taiwan, the way the
Speaker 1: thing with now, y'all remember in Hong Kong, the way
Speaker 1: it went down. Now, Hong Kong was was was about
Speaker 1: that action in the same way you crane about that action.
Speaker 1: They was like, look, you ain't gonna just run up
Speaker 1: up here like we're gonna squad. You're gonna remember us.
Speaker 1: You know my heart and a little bit. You're gonna
Speaker 1: remember us. That's the Hong Kong was like Nah, Homie,
Speaker 1: you're gonna remember me. You're not just gonna run up
Speaker 1: here like this, like you run this place. We're good.
Speaker 1: But if you China, you're like look, man, Hey, hey, Russia,
Speaker 1: like hey, hey, bladlow, Yo, Yo, give me game, man,
Speaker 1: tell me how you did that. Like let me, let
Speaker 1: me see. Let me go exercise with Y'all. Let me
Speaker 1: go work out with y'all. Know what I'm saying. It
Speaker 1: not for China been doing. They've been doing military exercises
Speaker 1: with Russia. Like, Yo, let me what's what's what's what's
Speaker 1: good with it? You know what I mean? Like what
Speaker 1: Y'all got? So like they they number one. China hungry
Speaker 1: China about that life and they see what's going on
Speaker 1: in Russia. Number two, I've said it before and I'll
Speaker 1: say it again. China got next. If we're talking global
Speaker 1: world power, China got next. We taught this before. They
Speaker 1: smell blood in the water. They got next off, and
Speaker 1: this is a good way to get certified, is to
Speaker 1: prove you got next. So if you are, which most
Speaker 1: of us are, the U S of a, you need
Speaker 1: to make sure or one, that China and Russia don't
Speaker 1: get too close and two, to secure your own safety,
Speaker 1: your own place on the top fam you can't let
Speaker 1: them get no stronger. You gotta Watch like no wonder.
Speaker 1: We low key like on on Taiwan, like I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't get no strong like if I'll get no
Speaker 1: stronger day you're coming for us. Your dollar ain't gonna
Speaker 1: mean nothing. And and so, if you so, if you're American,
Speaker 1: you like look dog. I gotta stake in this race.
Speaker 1: We can't just stay out of this. Now you're staying
Speaker 1: out of it anyway, but you can't just stay out
Speaker 1: of it. So it's quite an issue of diplomacy. You
Speaker 1: gotta Work here. how You keep somebody who as hungry
Speaker 1: as China happy, but at bay? That's the question. And listen,
Speaker 1: if you are a US diplomat, you need to call
Speaker 1: into our hoods and you need that. You need to
Speaker 1: tap into some of these O g s that ask
Speaker 1: them that question, because, I tell you what, I don't
Speaker 1: know the answer. But this is quite a predicament and this,
Speaker 1: this is the type of stuff that's rumbling across the
Speaker 1: world while our local politics is burning books and you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and teachers getting exhausted. Do you
Speaker 1: feel me? I don't know, man, listen, I want to
Speaker 1: know where the answer might lie. It's in the hood
Speaker 1: hood politics. Yeah, this is here. Thing was recorded by
Speaker 1: me propaganda in East Low Spoil Heights, Los Angeles, California.
Speaker 1: This smug was mixed, edited, mastered and scored by Matt Ososki.
Speaker 1: I can totally say his name, guys, it was. It
Speaker 1: was a stick. He's won by Matt now again because
Speaker 1: he got just legal situations with the name headlights. You know,
Speaker 1: common used to be called common sense. You know tip
