So much happens 69 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: so fast, And one of the feedbacks we got at 70 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: the end of last year, at the end of last 71 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: season was like, sometimes the stuff when I finally get 72 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: to it, it be dated. You know what I'm saying, 73 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: Because I tried to, Like I've said it before, I 74 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: tried to bank episodes so that I'm not like stressing 75 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: out on Monday.

And not only that, ian Ian's on vacation 80 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: right now. 81 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: I can't even ask the producer because the Sneakers on vacation. 82 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: And let me tell you so, I broke as hell. 83 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: I cannot afford to fix this plumbing issue that I'm 84 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: gonna have to investigate after I'm dead. Recording this, so 85 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: bear with a Jeordia Patreon, send me a thousand dollars 86 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: it cuts. 87 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: Oh shit, Oh we can't afford this. I'll just keep 88 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: it real, y'all. All right, anyway, but at least bombs 89 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: are not being thrown across the border. But at least 90 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 2: the police didn't murder my eighteen year old son and 91 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: out of a fiddle rage, I didn't take a cops life. 92 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: At least that didn't happen to me. Let's get into 93 00:06:39,880 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: a hood politics, y'all. All right, India and Pakistan Pakistan. 94 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: A bomb was tossed across the border in an area 95 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: called Kashmir. Now here's the issue with Kashmir. You know, 96 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: Kansas City has like is in two states. You got 97 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas KCMO. How you like? 98 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: And you got to ask somebody from Kansas City, like 99 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: which part of Kansas City KKKCMO. Okay, now imagine that. 100 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: But their sectarian, tribal, ethnic religion and political violence. Now 101 00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: you're in Kashmir. Two sides. India and Pakistan both claimed Kashmir. 102 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: The next question should be India, Pakistan Kashmir. What do 103 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: they have to do with each other. Aren't they just 104 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: nations right next to each other enjoying peaceful lives. Who know, 105 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: here's your first lesson or here's another lesson in the 106 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: continuing saga of no one liking colonizers, specifically the Brits. 107 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: I am about to give you the most underwhelming, shortest, 108 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: do not give it justice history at this moment right now, 109 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: Like it's so bad, it's so bare minimum that is 110 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: almost embarrassing. I just need to catch all up right now. 111 00:08:54,520 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: A long time ago, Britain colonized India. Why nigga tea 112 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: and spices, Because if you've tasted British food, them tea 113 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: and them spices is the best thing that could have 114 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: happened in Britain. Now, there is a precursor to that, 115 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: which was the East India Trading cod which actually came 116 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: from the Dutch, but we're not talking about that right now, 117 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: which was probably the first multi national international conglomerate that 118 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: really did damage to a local population. But that's the 119 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: East India Trading Code for which I'm pretty sure there 120 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: is a behind the Bastards episode on. But that's not 121 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: what we're talking about. We're talking about Britain. Now, when 122 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: Britain left, now here's where you should be, like, hits 123 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: history kind of rymet because the separations of Israel, carving 124 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: a nation out of an existing nation called Palestine. You 125 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: know when that happened, when the British left, Because again 126 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: say it with me, now, no one likes colonizers. There 127 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: was this thing called the partition, which was a fancy 128 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: way of saying I'm going to draw an arbitrary line 129 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: across this part of the ground and I'm gonna say 130 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: y'all Pakistan and y'all India. So the border between India 131 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: and Pakistan completely made up. That was called the partition. Now, 132 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: in that process, as they both gained independence from the UK, millions. 133 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 3: Died. 134 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: Now why did they die, Well, you just broke up infrastructure. 135 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: Because if just think about this, if somebody just make 136 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: up a line and draw it through your neighborhood, you 137 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: may not have access to water, no mo because now 138 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: the municipality that took care of the electricity and water 139 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: in your neighborhood is in another country. Homie, you telling 140 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: me the Trader Joe's. I need to get a passport 141 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: to go to Trader Joe's. Cuz like it, that's this, 142 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: This is what I'm trying to say, Like it just 143 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: caused an unbelievable amount of chaos. So there's this mass killing, 144 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: great disruption, people going back and forth between borders, trying 145 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: to figure out what's going on and eventually what kind 146 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: of how the thing kind of like when the dust settled, 147 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: you have Pakistan being mostly Muslim. Okay, now again I 148 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: am doing a horrible disservice. These people are Pashte like 149 00:11:52,080 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: this is Pashtun like mostly Muslim in India being mostly Hindu. 150 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: Now you fast forward to what's going on right now 151 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: with these far right Hindu nationalists who are out here 152 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: mess around and like trying to commit some like ethnic 153 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: cleansings against the Muslim population inside of India. Because again 154 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: borders are made up. People believe different things. But when 155 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: you get this nativist nationalist type vibe a lot of 156 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: times that again unfortunately is developed in response to or 157 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: in connection to colonizers and imperialists, you start you start 158 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: believing the hype that they put on you. And this 159 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: isn't a disk to my Indian brothers and sisters, because 160 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: we do it here all the time. Just like I 161 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: told y'all. Last week, black people, we often find our 162 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: affinity to where them slave ships dropped us off rather 163 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: than where we got on the boat. We looking at 164 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: Central and South American black people talking about they different, 165 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: they just got off the boat earlier. What I'm trying 166 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: to say is no one's exempt from this. Okay. What 167 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: you gotta do is stay woke and remember that a 168 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: lot of this sectarian violence, that is not necessarily tribal, 169 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: that is not necessarily cultural, is a product of imperialistic supremacy. Anyway, MODI, 170 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: who is probably I kind of don't know how to 171 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: say this, except that he's probably the most effective dictator 172 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: we've seen in our time. Like I know, last week 173 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: I talked about information circles, and I did get a 174 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: few people inside of my my I'm in sections saying 175 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: I got the story all wrong about Bukina Fasso. Which 176 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: you might be right. One man's freedom fighter is another 177 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: man's terrorist. You might be right. Nobody's a monolith. There 178 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: is no place on earth that's a monolith. You might 179 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: be right. I might be hearing a whole lot of 180 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: a Wagner group of propaganda put out from them. You 181 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: might be right. I ain't there, and you can't trust 182 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: nothing coming out of a coming out of Russia's mouth. 183 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: I know that I trust my people though, That's the 184 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: thing anyway, with my own eyes. Okay, we're watching Hindu nationalists, 185 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of like militant groups like be Hella, violent 186 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: towards the Muslim population inside of India. There is a true, real, 187 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: real situation going on down there. Modi is definitely looking 188 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: away right now as far as the violence, the sectarian 189 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: violence that's happening in India, because he kind of wit 190 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: the shits. But let's set that to a side for 191 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: a second now. So the partition happened, We're going back 192 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: to that. The partition happened. Guess what August fourteenth, nineteen 193 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: forty seven. You understand that that's like barely a year 194 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: and a half after the design has landed in Israel. 195 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: Just I just don't understand why the British just just 196 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: no one likes no one likes a colonizer. Anyway, let's 197 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: get to what's happening right now. So every year since then, 198 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: there's always been squirmishes. They both sides have extremist groups 199 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: like not let's not act like one of y'all is 200 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: as victims. Both sides have extremist groups. They've been tossing 201 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: things back and forth for a while. Matter of fact, 202 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: it's a known story that like to this day, is 203 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: armed military right at the border right now and has 204 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: been four years ready to see who ready to pop off? Right, 205 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: So that's kind of what it's been going on for 206 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: a long time. But the most contentious spot, like I said, 207 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: is this area called Kashmir. Right, nobody can agree who 208 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: really run Kashmir. So they both kind of say they 209 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: both run Kashmir, which is kind of what's happening in 210 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: Libya right now. There's two governments in Libya. I just listen, 211 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: the world is stranger than fiction. So so Pakistan essentially, 212 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: like I said, put themselves as the defenders of the 213 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: Muslims of India, right because, like I said, there's this 214 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: nativist movement happening in India where they feel like they're 215 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: the suffering ones. Now that being said, it's not like 216 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: Pakistan are some boy scouts because when they broke off 217 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: Each Pakistan to form Bangladesh. Oh, I don't know if 218 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: you knew that that Bangladesh was East Pakistan. Right, they 219 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: are going through also gross human atrocities towards a few 220 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: of their resistance movements. Understand that everywhere in the world 221 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: where there's repressive regimes, there's resistance movements happening. So your 222 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: stance if I should make you have a stance, which 223 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: I can't, but if I were to make you have 224 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: a stance, it'd be like your stance should be the 225 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: stance that my father taught me. Solidarity was suffering people everywhere. 226 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: So if you find somebody resisting suffering, find somebody standing 227 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: up for the week, I'm telling you right now, I'm 228 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: on the side you had that. Now that being said, 229 00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: just like last week, all y'all ain't freedom fighters. Kashmir 230 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: is so contentious. At some point, somebody's gonna fall back, 231 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna pop up, somebody's militia groups are gonna be happening, 232 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: And like anywhere else in the world, sometimes the government, 233 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: especially repressive regimes, will toss some bread at a few 234 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: of these resistance movements to kind of like let you 235 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: all be the problem, kind of like Iran, right, Iran 236 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: with like Hesbuala and the Huthi's like, let me just 237 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: toss all some bread and y'all do the dirty work. 238 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: Ain't nothing new under the sun. So that's been happening 239 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: for a long time. Like so many people have died 240 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: over the last thirty years trying to get this stuff 241 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: figured out. But like I said, a lot of that 242 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: was concentrated in Kashmir. It's one of the most militarized 243 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: cities on the planet. It's not dope, Okay, all leading 244 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: up to last week, Okay, I just skipped so much. 245 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: All right, I'm just trying to catch you all up 246 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: because Trump out here talking about Oh. I told him 247 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 1: to stop, so they stopped. Bruh, you haven't spoken to anyone. 248 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: You're gonna jump into Oh, so you're gonna handle this 249 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: the way you handled the Russia Ukraine War. How you 250 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: was like, I'm finna fix this in the day. Oh, 251 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: You're finna fix this. Uh, Israel and Jumas, You're finna 252 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: fix it in the day. Mister. You know you got 253 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: it right now, you finish step into this one, my nigga. 254 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: So finally, now, on April twenty second, it was about 255 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: twenty six people were killed by a militant attack on 256 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: tourists in India's Kashmir. Right now, there's no at this point, 257 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: there's no like actual evidence that the Pakistani government has 258 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: provided behind this. A few militant groups have claimed it, 259 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: have said like, yeah, this is what we did. Now. 260 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Here's where it gets real crazy. Is 261 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: they saying this is our get back. We just getting 262 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: our get back for what India did us. And when 263 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: India responded. Here's what's funny. India responded and they they 264 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: gave us a tag no hit backs. We're not trying 265 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: to escalate the guys. We're just trying to get our 266 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: get back from your get back. Well, I'm gonna get 267 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: back from the get back of yo get back. Listen, 268 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: this how wars happened, y'all. So if this is the 269 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: first time you heard of any of this stuff, okay, 270 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: first of all, you should be unbelievably surprised that only 271 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: twenty four people die. That should be the first thing 272 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: you thinking. We talk about one of the most densely 273 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: populated locations on the planet. This why this is so scary, Well, 274 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: it should be scary because Nigga is war. I just 275 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: like it just is war. This should be a problem already, right. 276 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: But secondly, because both these niggas got nukes all right, Now, 277 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: Dan ain't got forty five of them. But you don't 278 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: need forty five nukes, you need one, right, and again 279 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: borders are made up. Okay, there's no force field. If 280 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: you trust a nuke at Pakistan, India dies. Okay, if 281 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: Pakistan tosses a nuke at India, Pakistan dies. Do y'all like, 282 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: this is why nobody's thrown a nuke Cause I think 283 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: we all get you can't. Really, there's no no one 284 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: wins nuclear ward. I can't believe. I gotta say nobody 285 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: wins nuclear war. Guys, nobody wins now right now? Little 286 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: known groups Routerers has a great article on it. Little 287 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: known groups, these like small little like what we would 288 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: call starter gangs, have been claiming the responsibilities for all 289 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: these like relatively speaking squirmishes. But you have to remember 290 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: again this goes all the way back to nineteen forty seven. Okay, 291 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: And this is coupled with again, Kashmir is super isolated. 292 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 1: They cut off like it's hard to get reports out 293 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: of Kashmir. Right. Modi again is a bona fide dictator right, 294 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: and is doing his best to push out Muslim populations 295 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: and Pakistan. You can't pretend like you're a victim. Okay. 296 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: This one of them very few moments where truly, truly 297 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: you could say there are no clear good sides on 298 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: this except for the people inside of both of these 299 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: nations who are like, this is a y'all problem. Oh man. 300 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: This the best way to understand this was I was 301 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: at the Scratch Bastard Bastard picnic this past weekend. Shout 302 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: out Scratch Bastard led me a rocker verse. It's one 303 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: of the doput DJs. I he's probably he's the he's 304 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: the best DJ I know. And that's hard for me 305 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: to say, okay, because I know the legends. Oh my god, 306 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: that guy's good at what he does. Okay, so let 307 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: me let me fall back. He's good at what he does. Now, 308 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: while we were there, I'll talk at some of the 309 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: hummies about why a lot of us got out of 310 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 1: gang banging. Now, for me, graffiti saved my life. But 311 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: there was an era when taggers were starting to become 312 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: tag bangers, and then eventually it just became gangs. Okay, 313 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: But then there was these things that we used to 314 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 1: call like sort of like starter gangs, which were like 315 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: kind of like when you're in junior high or high 316 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: school and you're really not ready to shoot nobody, but 317 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: you down the squad right and you got your beefs 318 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but you throw parties make money. 319 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: It's like, but you're not really own the hood, right. Anyway, 320 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: he was talking back and forth about stuff like that, 321 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: and there was like there are times that I know, 322 00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: for me, I just like putting all the violences. I 323 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: just couldn't keep up with the cheesemn Like I don't 324 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: know who we beefing with now, I really ain't got 325 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: no problem. And a lot of times the beef be 326 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: happening because one of the OG's just had his girls 327 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: stolen by somebody from that other neighborhood that we really 328 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: ain't got no problem with. But all of a sudden, 329 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: now we mad at him. And it's really just because 330 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: the girl chose that dude. Now he are op. You 331 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, y'all lost in a dice game. 332 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking about when we was like little little You 333 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, You lost the dice game. You 334 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: feel me? You feel like you got disrespected at some 335 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: party that I just happened to be at. My grandma house. 336 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: So I didn't go to that party, So I missed that, right, 337 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: and I'm like, we mad at Wan Carlo. Now we 338 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: was in the same head, start like, I have no 339 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: problem with Wan Carlo. None of us really have no 340 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: issue with nobody over there. But now that you do, 341 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: now that y'all got problem, we got problems. Hell. I 342 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: was in a rap beef like that where I was like, 343 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: I don't I don't got no problems with them. That's 344 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: y'all's problem. There are hundreds of thousands of people in 345 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: Pakistan and India that feel like that. That being said, 346 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: you can't have a movement without some people, without some extremists. 347 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, listen, Nope, no 348 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: one's exempt. Nobody likes colonizers. There's kind of no good 349 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: guys in this right and let us pray that they 350 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: figured this out, okay, because I don't know if we 351 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: could have another like back to back to back to 352 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:02,239 Speaker 1: back to back type beef that we've had. I just 353 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: did you a very underwhelming catch up to what's happening. Now, 354 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: let's talk about the man that hit a cop with 355 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: his car next. All right, we're back here we go 356 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: This is a complicated story. If you value life, peace, justice, 357 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: and and freedom, this is complicated. It's also complicated if 358 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: you exist in intersections like we always do. I am 359 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: a black man, I am also a father, So this 360 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: is a tough story. Rodney Hinton Jr. Okay probably gave 361 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: us one of the most iconic videos and shots. That guys. 362 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: It makes me step back and think of things that 363 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: doctor King said, which was I've said it many times, 364 00:27:52,880 --> 00:28:00,479 Speaker 1: but in reference to the riots of the sixties Watts, 365 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: he says, my stance is and will always be of nonviolence. 366 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: While I don't condone the actions of the citizens of Watts, 367 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: I understand it. The city has been a counterpeg waiting 368 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: to blow for many centuries. You can't oppress people, you 369 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: can't treat people like they're subhuman for so long without 370 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: them eventually fighting back. We've made this comparison many times, 371 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: and I am not the first or only person to 372 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: make this comparison. The police, for most people of color, 373 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: and now you can add ice, feel like an insurgent force. 374 00:28:54,240 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: They are an invading gang. They move like a gang. 375 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: They demand tribute. It feels like extortion. They're dangerous, but 376 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: they get to generally hide behind a badge. Now, the 377 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: pushback I could always feel is the same pushback y'all 378 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: can always feel when we talk about policing. Everybody wants 379 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: somebody on the other side of the phone. When your 380 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: house is getting broken into, it everyone does. What I 381 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: don't want is for that person to come and shoot 382 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: me after I called, or to even murder the person 383 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: that broke into my house. I don't desire a murder. 384 00:29:54,200 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: But here's this case in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ryan Hinton allegedly 385 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: was inside of a stolen car that was pursued by 386 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: the police, and the four gentlemen that were inside of 387 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: the police got out and ran. Now, according to the 388 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: body reports, he was shot in his back multiple times, 389 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: which means he was running. The bodycam footage says he 390 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: had a gun. He's got a gun. He's got a gun, 391 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: he's pointing it at me, and then there's also a 392 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: video of a gun somewhere in the vicinity. The issue 393 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: is that might be true, there might have been a 394 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: gun that there's also very possible that no, there wasn't. 395 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: Either way, officer unloaded on this eighteen year old boy. 396 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: Next day, the father, oh man, I can't I need it, 397 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: Damn Rodney Hilton Junior, which I think would be an 398 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: open and shut Clay case, which is like this is 399 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: literally this is temporary insanity where he finds an officer 400 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: who was just a retired deputy named Larry Henderson who 401 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: was doing directing traffic. He drove his car into him 402 00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: and took his life. And obviously the families are sad, 403 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: they're outraged, but it's complicated and in that this man 404 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: willingly went inside the court willingly was ready to face 405 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: the jury. But as this happens in the courtroom, there's 406 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: about thirty officers lined up on the side of the courtroom. 407 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: And this man, while he is in his bail hearing 408 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: where he didn't get it, keeps his chin up, looks 409 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: them officers in the face, walks by one by one 410 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: because you came back down the gangs. You came back 411 00:32:55,080 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: down the bullies. Because what happens is our sons keep dying. Now, 412 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: I am not one that was defending Mangione in the 413 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. I am one that's saying the 414 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:17,959 Speaker 1: same things that doctor King was saying. I understand it. 415 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: I understand having to watch footage of your son being 416 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: murdered and losing all sense of direction. I also understand 417 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: being very clear minded of like you've taken enough of 418 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: ours collectively, because the thing about the oppression experience in 419 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: the black community is it's very collective. Right. But don't 420 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: think we don't have good sense because you see anybody 421 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: defending Diddy. We understand there's two sides of this story. 422 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: There are times that, like I said, yes, the government 423 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: has conspired to take down many successful black men. It 424 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: happens all the time where the system works against us 425 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: once we get too successful. And we're also just human too. 426 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: Some of these niggas's scumbags. But even the most hardened 427 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: of criminals is still somebody's son. If he stole that 428 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: car and he was running catch him. I'm sure this 429 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: man's father, I'm sure this young man's father would understand 430 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: if his boy was out there committing crime and now 431 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: he's being held, this wouldn't make the news, cause he'd 432 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:52,919 Speaker 1: be just another lost black boy who is not going 433 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: to get the same chances that a lot of other 434 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: little white boys get. See the little white boys, they 435 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: get the boys will be boys thing. You know, you 436 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: get it. You're young, dumb, you're fuck up as a kid. 437 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: It is what it is. No we die, right. So 438 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: this father, in what I can only imagine is a 439 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: fit of grief that makes you lose your mind, took 440 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: matters into his own hands. Is it a homicide? That's 441 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: for the courts to decide. Is it a manslaughter? I 442 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: mean yes? So is it a murder? Probably? Was Luisi 443 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: Mangioni a murder? Probably? They are seen planned. You just 444 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: can't push people too far. Eventually they fight back. 445 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 2: H h. 446 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:41,959 Speaker 1: So we'll see, man, We'll see what happens. He drove 447 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: that card to the officer and gladly, gladly took his time, 448 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: kept his chain up, walking by all them officers who 449 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: were clearly there. They say they're there in solidarity with 450 00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: their fallen brother, and black people are like, where's our 451 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: solidarity for our sons? Because all you're saying is the 452 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: officer felt threatened, he was doing his job. You have 453 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: no mercy for our humanity, yet you expect us to 454 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: have mercy for yours. It's complicated. I don't have an 455 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: answer for you. My answer is, so we'll see, man, 456 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. He drove that card to the 457 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: officer and gladly, gladly took his time, kept his cheating up, 458 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: walking by all them officers who are clearly there. They 459 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: say they're there in solidarity with their fallen brother and 460 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: black people are like, where's our solidarity for our sons? 461 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,280 Speaker 1: Because all you you're saying is the officer felt threatened, 462 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: he was doing his job. You have no mercy for 463 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: our humanity, yet you expect us to have mercy for yours. 464 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: It's complicated. I don't have an answer for you. My 465 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: answer is, well, crimes of survival are a product of 466 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: late stage capitalism, and sometimes people with underdeveloped prefrontal cortexes 467 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:40,280 Speaker 1: make stupid decisions. And yes, lands need to have laws, 468 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: but we don't need a law enforcement that fancies themselves 469 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: an army. It leads us into situations as such. So 470 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 1: as you're looking across the country or across the world, 471 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: over at India, over at Israel and Palestine, over at 472 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 1: the Huthis over in Ukraine, and you think, how could 473 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 1: that ever happen?
