1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: Call media. Okay, as the story goes, this is the situation. 2 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: The president says that he's trying to negotiate for years. 3 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 1: They have on strong evidence that this head of state, 4 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: this other president, is not just having drugs being trafficked 5 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: from his country into ours, but it's like actively profiting 6 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: from it. And we have to find a way to 7 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: take this person to trial and get this person out 8 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: of power, because that's not you can't just be doing this. 9 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: And the President feels like their hands a tie. So 10 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: my only hope is to look to one of our lawyers, 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: attorney Bill Barr, to make sure that we have any 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: legal precedents to go bring this other head of state 13 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: to justice. So Bill Bard pulls up a law right 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: and says, hey, you know, you can send the FBI. 15 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: This isn't a declaration of war because so that way 16 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: you don't have to ask Congress, but you could go 17 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: send the FBI. Now since it's a foreign land, like 18 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: obviously you have to bring the military. And if the 19 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: military is being shot at in an act of self defense, 20 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: they're allowed to shoot back. 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 2: Like that's I mean, that's right now. 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: Obviously international law is a different story, but we'll deal 23 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: with that later. Either way, we need to stop the 24 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: flow of drugs coming into our country from Latin America. 25 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: From this Latin American country and got the nerve to 26 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: be a socialist country in our hemisphere, you'd have lost 27 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: your mind. No, sir, we do not play that. What 28 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: are you supposed to do? You got to call the 29 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: military to pull it off, you know, and if they 30 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: kill somebody on the way there, you know what that 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: was in defense. And then in the meantime, once we 32 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: take this person out, we're gonna help you figure out 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: who gonna run your country. Maybe we'll run it ourselves 34 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: until y'all could get a person. Either way, this has 35 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: to stop. Is that what's going on right now? Because 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: that president I'm talking about is George H. W. Bush 37 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: and I'm talking about Panama and Manuel Noriega. 38 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: Oh, we've done this before. 39 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: We got to talk about the return of the Mond 40 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: Road Doctrine, y'all? 41 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 3: Hood politics? 42 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: How'd you like that setup? 43 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: Was that? 44 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: Did you guys? Did you fall for it? 45 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: Did you know that I was talking about over almost 46 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: thirty years ago? Did you know that's what I was 47 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: talking about? The Monroe doctrine though? Is way before that? 48 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: So today teach your prop time. I'm gonna teach y'all 49 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: something about the beginnings of our nation and sort of 50 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 1: the ways that we kind of fashioned ourselves as bouces. Right, 51 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna introduce you to a term that I remembered 52 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: in high school because my first rap name before I 53 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: was propaganda was sphere. It didn't roll off the tongue well, 54 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: but it was like a three D you know, third 55 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: dimensional sphere. 56 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 57 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: Like, because this is early nineties, you know what I 58 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: mean anyway, So I'm gonna introduce you to what something 59 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: called a sphere of influence. And I mean we talking 60 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: Cold War, were talking empires, and then we're talking just 61 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: absolute degeneracy in Latin America. That America has been, that 62 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: the US has been doing for decades, dare I say 63 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: it hundreds of years? But as you know, going back 64 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: to our roots, the best way to explain this is 65 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: to explain this via neighborhoods. 66 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: You got ready to get into it now looking at 67 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 2: the data. 68 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: Although all of you are not Los Angeles folks, most 69 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: of you are, so for you who are from here, 70 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: this is not new now, granted, you know, due to 71 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: gentrification and different redistricting. Some of these laws and rules 72 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: and borders aren't as enforced as they were when I 73 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: was in my younger knees era. But generally the idea 74 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: of the Monroe doctrine can be explained by Inglewood or 75 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: East LA. So there is a general understanding between and 76 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: of course, like what I'm trying to say is is 77 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: it's fanciful in the way that I'm explaining this, but 78 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: the lived experience was Hopefully this makes sense. It was 79 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: just understood that South Central was black Compton, South Central, Inglewood, Crenshaw, 80 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: It's just black, East LA, Northeast LA, so Highland Park, 81 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: Lincoln Heights, Cyprus Park, Boyle Heights, East LA is it 82 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 1: is Mexican, right, And generally speaking, the rules were very simple. 83 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: We don't move into your neighborhoods, you don't move into ours. Now, 84 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: like I said, because the demographic changes and just the 85 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: sheer number of Mexicans, a lot of this has changed. However, 86 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: on the East Side it has remained almost by and 87 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: large continually Latino. 88 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: It is Mexican. Now. 89 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: What the black community has done, We've moved due to 90 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: gentrification and all his different stuff to Lancaster in an empire, 91 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. But it was just understood 92 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: that east La east of the river Yaka Hadad, that's 93 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: just that is your sphere of influence. MacArthur Park, that's 94 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: El Salvadoran. That is just your sphere of influence. And 95 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: the way to guarantee safety is to understand, as people 96 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: are building empires, that is just yours. That is your 97 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: sphere of influence. If I'm gonna do anything over there. 98 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: If I am not, If I am I am Joe Cripp, 99 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,239 Speaker 1: well I don't know. I'm just making this up, just 100 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: just if I am a black gang entrepreneur. Listen, the 101 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: Crenshaw District is yours. That is your sphere, okay. And 102 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: all of the little young homies and baby gangsters and 103 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: starter and starter gangs. I remember I talked to you all 104 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: about that, like starter gangs and stuff like that, Like 105 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: you know that that kind of feed into the big crew, 106 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: like like that is your sphere of influence. Oh my 107 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: own wife was in a starter gang that led into Floridencia, y'all. 108 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: She says it in her book. I'm not telling y'all nothing, 109 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: but anyway, right, you just it's understood. Demographically speaking, that 110 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: is yours fere, that is your territory. 111 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: So every other set that's. 112 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: In between that at some point y'all gotta pay taxes 113 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: to the big homies now out here. It was you know, 114 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: like I'm not telling y'all anything that's like putting myself 115 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: in This is just true. It was Mexican mafia like you, 116 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: just like if you was part of Ay, if you 117 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: was serving in their neighborhoods, you just had to pay. 118 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: You just had to pay, you know what I'm saying. 119 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: That was just understood. This is their sphere of influence, right, 120 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: this is our hemisphere of Los Angeles. 121 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: Let us control that. Now. 122 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: If you're trying to feel froggy, you're asking for a war. 123 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: And a lot of times those wars, I'm about to 124 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: jump into the politics side, a lot of times those 125 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: wars weren't head up. They were what history calls proxy wars. 126 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: All you're familiar with that either your daddy, yo, your 127 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: granddaddy was in one, or great granddaddy if you was 128 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: in If you got a relative that was in the 129 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: Korean War, that was a proxy war, Vietnam wars. We 130 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: ain't got no problem with Vietnam. I won't really care. 131 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,119 Speaker 1: We got no problem with them. Our problem was with communism. 132 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: Our problem was with Russia. The sphere of influence, right, 133 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: you not allowed you am I supposed to? Look, you 134 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: got your block, we got ours, right, But when you 135 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: want to expand, that's when there becomes a problem. We're 136 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: trying to build our empires, now, Inglewood, it was kind 137 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: of understood. Now I think again things have changed that 138 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, that's blood territory. We just let like that's 139 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: the world. You feel me now again, things have changed, 140 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But it was just kind 141 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: of like, unless you want to go to war, lead 142 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: them niggas alone, make your money in your sphere. Right, 143 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: These are, in the most rudimentary terms, the ways for 144 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: which America has understood the Monroe do Now, this doctrine 145 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: has been borrowed, retooled, and reused so many different ways 146 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: and has justified an incredible amount of human suffering. But again, 147 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: teach your prop let's get to it, and the hope 148 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: is that you understand how in dehil is the president 149 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: of Venezuela on trial right now?

Not a 197 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: difference in Panama's Panama's tiny, and we had a military 198 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: base there. 199 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 200 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: We ain't got no base in Venezuela, and Venezuela's ginormous 201 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: in relation to Panama. Now there are some other similarities. 202 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: What Panama has is the Panama Canal.

Now, these were messages to the Congress, right, 279 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: This was the eighteenth Congress because again, you know, Congress 280 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: is young at this time, because again it's eighteen seventeen. 281 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 2: Nigga, there are still slaves like that's how old this is. 282 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: We ain't even got We ain't even got to the 283 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: Civil War yet. 284 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: Right.

Right, So 306 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: he talks about manufacturing and trade, infrastructure, communication, government spending, public. 307 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: Health, all the YadA YadA yadas. 308 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: Right, But the most famous aspect of this address is 309 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: where we get what's called the Monroe doctrine. What it 310 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: is is his foreign policy. Right now, foreign policy is 311 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: exactly what it sounds like. I've talked about it so 312 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: many times. Y'all know exactly what I mean about foreign policy. 313 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: It's like how we're going to relate to everybody else. 314 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: You're going to plant it with a whole lot of 315 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: other countries. Nigga, You're gonna have to learn how to 316 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: have to learn how to play in the sandbox with 317 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: these people. Now, Monroe seeks to maintain amicable relationships with 318 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: the European powers, especially Britain, Russia, and Spain. Now I 319 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: need you to with your head. You need to put 320 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: your thinking caps on right now. Why would it be 321 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: so important why you care about Britain, Russia, and Spain. 322 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: Think about it because those are the largest empires at 323 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: the time. Dimmed the bullies of the block at the time. 324 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,959 Speaker 1: You remember, like Latin Americas, that's all Spain is. If 325 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: you would have sprinkled a little bit of Frenchies, that's Spain. 326 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: That's why all them countries got Spanish names. Russia obviously ginormous, 327 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: you understand what I'm saying. Russia is one of the 328 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: longest standing like old school monarchs, right, I mean all 329 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: the way up to like you know, Tzar Alexander. 330 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: Like Russia, it's it's huge, right. 331 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: And Britain's the British Empire. Come on, cuz, like, come on, 332 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: we just like we just got our freedom from there, 333 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: like we just got it, you know. But you gotta 334 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: remember Britain ran like we're surrounded by these empires. 335 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 2: So yeah, like let's let's let's let's at least be 336 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: cool with him. 337 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: But you got to remember the age of imperialism was 338 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: about spheres of influence. They needed to control regions. Remember 339 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: we talked about the land grab at Africa. We talked 340 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: about that before, where like the countries decided which part 341 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: of Africa they was gonna claim, which absurd obviously, But 342 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: it's the same type of European expansionism imperialism concept which 343 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: is like, look, roll out the map, disparts ours, that 344 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: parts yours, that part's theirs. 345 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 2: I'm gonna control my sphere. I'm gonna make as much 346 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 2: money as I can. 347 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: And what I'm trying to do is expand my sphere, right, 348 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: and sometimes you gotta go head up. However, check this out, 349 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: he warns about engaging in further colonialization and influence in Americas. 350 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: At the time, Monroe perceived this foreign's policy as defensive, 351 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: not aggressive. In his view, he was simply asking watch 352 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: this European imperial powers not to encroach any further into 353 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: what he as the US spheres of influence. 354 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 2: In an amended form. 355 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: However, this doctrine became the cornerstone for America's intervention into 356 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: the Western hemisphere at the turn of the twentieth century 357 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: and to the present day. 358 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 2: Should I break that down a little. 359 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: Further, What he's saying is, listen, I want to be 360 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 1: cool with y'all. You feel me like, I love everything 361 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: y'all doing. But what I'm trying to say is we 362 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: fought really hard for the space we got right now. 363 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is, look, I don't want no 364 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: problems while I'm asking y'all just kind of stay where 365 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: you at, like, don't expand, because look, we trying to 366 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: get on the board too. 367 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: I don't want no problems. 368 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: But like we're trying to, like you know what I'm saying, 369 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying to like we're trying to get in on 370 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: this action. You feel me like, look this the land 371 00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: we got, you know what I'm saying, Like we, you know, 372 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: Mexico about to get their independence, you know, Mexico just 373 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 1: you know, you feel me like like I think they 374 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: just got it by this time. Like so let's you know, 375 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: Canon over there, like let's just leave the map alone. 376 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: So it was defensive, right, I'm trying to protect what 377 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: I got, right, That's the way it started. So when 378 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: you think about that concept, think about the War of 379 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: eighteen twelve. So looking back at the War of eighteen twelve, 380 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: which was against France to try to like you know, 381 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: kick out other columns. This was his this was the defense. 382 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: It was like, yo, this is like, this is why 383 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: we did this. We needed to protect our land, like 384 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: this is our sphere of influence. Remember, ain't no such 385 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: thing as internet, ain't no such thing as airplanes. 386 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 2: It's hard to control empires. 387 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: So far away, so like, look, man, like, I've proven 388 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: that I that I got my space like airbody, chill. Okay, 389 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: we're good. And for a long time this was how 390 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: it worked to the nineteen hundreds. Then that defense became offense. 391 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: Next. 392 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: Okay, nineteen hundreds, enter President Roosevelt. Now you looking around, 393 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: you looking, and you saying, here's the thing about Europe, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, 394 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: y'all all up on each other that's been carved out 395 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: for centuries. Again, you gotta think like a white boy. Right, 396 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: we're on the whole other continent. And in terms of Europe, 397 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: y'all not even over here. We're over here. So it 398 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: would suffice to say if you already see yourself as 399 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: you're the new world leader. Like again, we've always believe 400 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: my own hype. We the new bullies on the block. 401 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: We gotta make sure that our territory expand. Look, y'all 402 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: fighting over y'all got the Eastern Hemisphere, y'all fighting over that. 403 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: You don't see what I'm saying. Obviously you can't mess 404 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: with Asia. It's too many of them. So y'all go 405 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: ahead and work on. Look, we ain't worried about Africa. 406 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: Y'all don't already carved out Africa. We ain't getting no 407 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: hands on that. But I tell you what, we got 408 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: the Western Hemisphere. Now, we ain't gonna be you know 409 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We're not gonna be as bad as 410 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: our forefathers. But you get a phrase like he said, 411 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: which was like when it comes to Latin America and 412 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: the Caribbean walks off, but carry a big stick. 413 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 2: Y'all heard that before. It's all based on the Moreau doctrine. 414 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 2: What he's saying is the Caribbeans ares Latin America's ours. 415 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: This is our fear of influence, which means that anytime 416 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: America felt like some of these other European powers were 417 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: getting too much influence, too much of a foothold in 418 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: our territory, we might just have. 419 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 2: To go in there. Oh, I see, you know what 420 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 2: I'm saying. 421 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: You done set up a nice little You done set 422 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: up a nice little taco stand on Crenshaw. 423 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 2: I need to go check in on that. Who Like, 424 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 2: who are y'all? Who? Like?

Why you? 428 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 2: Why are you over here? 429 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: You know? 430 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 2: I see what I'm saying. This is our world. 431 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: Now while it was completely impossible because at this point 432 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: it's part of the infrastructure, it's completely impossible to kick 433 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 1: out the entirety of European influences in Central and South America, nigga. 434 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: Because it's it's too late. 435 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: The language is Spanish and Portuguese like it's too late because. 436 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: In French Creole day they are.

Now we got the Red Scare, and 455 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: that's when the Moro doctrine started kicking hard, right. It 456 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: was like, I need to make sure that the entirety 457 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: of the Western hemisphere does not become socialists.

They not good men. 546 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 2: Entered Nicholas Maduro. 547 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro was the young homie of Hugo Chavez, who was, 548 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: depending on who you ask, might be on the cover 549 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: of a T shirt for somebody for being a socialist, 550 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: communist revolutionary right realized under Nicaragua. 551 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 2: Was that good sweet oil, that black gold, depending on 552 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 2: who you ask. 553 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: Others say he's a ruthless dictator that hoarded all the 554 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: wealth at the top. Probably did you know why? I 555 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: don't know, nigga, because I wasn't there none of my 556 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: damn business.

Was the price of 559 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: crude oil. The christ of crude oil plummeted? Why because 560 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: America started fracking. The problem is the fracking that we 561 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: do makes the oil kind of light skin. It's mixed 562 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: with water. You know. Fracking is essentially you stick, you 563 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: stick like this like pipe bomb of water into the ground, 564 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 1: pop it right to make it like kind of explode, 565 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: and that like shoots the oil up. The problem is 566 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: the oil is mixed with like dirt and sediment and water. 567 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 2: It's not that. 568 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: Uncut pure so you get more. 569 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 2: It's just diluted. It's like crack. It's like the crack 570 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 2: version of oil. You understand what I'm saying. This one. 571 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: However, they got that uncut pure that's black soot, just 572 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: the goopy nigga that's over there. But the price went down. 573 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: You can't can't sell them. The price go down and 574 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: control the market. Then you start promising, you know what 575 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 1: I'm saying, good things for good people. You're not making 576 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: no money. You start making money, you start going crazy. 577 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,320 Speaker 1: And this nigga Moduro started going crazy.
