1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Running around all over l A, l A County, Hollywood, 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Orange County, Inland Empire, just loving hip hop, loving the scene, 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 1: going to different house parties, and then like just like 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: nightlife and stuff like that. Like there's one thing that 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: I got good at noticing even among Los Angeles people, 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: you could spot somebody from Long Beach I mean even 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: across the country, Like I could be in Chicago, New York, 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: down south and they just got a thing about them. 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: They're just extremely likable and just very funny, just great 10 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: people to be around. They will beat your ass. It's 11 00:00:43,240 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: the quiet ones you gotta watch, y'all hood politics. I 12 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: knew when I was gonna starting to have children that 13 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: I wanted to raise my kids in Long Beach because 14 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: I had never met a Long Beach native. I just 15 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: didn't love. And I've been trying to put my finger 16 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: on what it is, and I think it's the ocean. 17 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: It's gotta be like it's something. Can you gotta remember 18 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: Like Snoop Dogg and Sublime, they both from Long Beach, 19 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Have Cameron Diz went to 20 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: high school with Snoop, Like this just the city just 21 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: makes just fun people snoop ot Genesis. You know, he 22 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: a big old cartoon character, Vince Staples. Have you ever 23 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: seen him in an interview? He's hilarious, hell crooked eye. 24 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: Like if you notice something about these people. They're so 25 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: smart and they're so fun loving, but the cripping is 26 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: not a game. The crip they are symbolic of every 27 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: hood dude I know out there, every some mowing people 28 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: like that. That's some owing family out there. Like you 29 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: know one thing that's interesting about like Polynesian culture. Everybody know, 30 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: like the Samoans are always smiling. They're just having fun. 31 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like you enjoyed him, so 32 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: it come from a tropical, beautiful island. They will break 33 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: your jaw. It's a year in a yang, like just 34 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: a light switch. Like these dudes are cartoons. They're so fun, 35 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: but they were cartoons that will beat this ship out 36 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: of you. And they they nice, They quiet, real calm, 37 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 1: So you begin to think that maybe you okay around them, 38 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like maybe everything all good, 39 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 1: maybe the gang banging that you know what I'm saying, 40 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: That they're nice. It's not gonna rob me them. Foods 41 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: will rob you blind the whole time that we're smiling, 42 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: having fun. They didn't broke into your house, your your 43 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: car already been robbed you, Like, listen, you cannot mistake 44 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: they kindness for weakness. Uk mistake the fact that they 45 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: present themselves as very approachable to ever. Second guess the cripping. 46 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: And I say cripping because that's something unique about Long 47 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: Beach is really there's only crips and Long Beach. I mean, 48 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: there may be a little said it is only cripson 49 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: Long Beach, but the point is it has to be 50 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: the ocean breeze in the week. They just enjoyed themselves. 51 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm gona introduce you to this series that I want 52 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: to call City's Gates. And they're not gonna be like consecutive, 53 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: but like I'll put them in different times today. But like, 54 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: I just think that, like sometimes cities take on a 55 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: personality because the way I'm describing Long Beach ain't nothing 56 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: like content. They on edge and content y. They freakishly 57 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: talented in content, but they on edge like you like don't, 58 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: which is different than the West Side. On the west Side, 59 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: they kind of come from money. West Side remind me 60 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: of Harlem, but we'll get into that. I just think 61 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: each city takes on a certain personality, and if you 62 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: understand how to navigate those personalities, it's a good lens 63 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: to understand our political landscape. It's the quiet ones. You 64 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: gotta watch real geez move with silence like Lasagna. I'm 65 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: pretty sure if you ever had somebody old school around you, 66 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: some of the some of the ogs are the old 67 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: heads kind of tell you. You know what I'm saying. 68 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: You gotta watch out for the quiet ones because you 69 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: never know what they're thinking. You gotta watch the nice 70 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: ones because you start letting your guard down. And today 71 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the nice ones that kind 72 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: of got the little bait and switch that you gotta 73 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: kind of keep your head on a swivel. You can't 74 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: let these people lure you into thinking that they on 75 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: your side, that the crypt and ain't cribbing. You understand 76 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: a lot of y'all got real comfortable when the cartoon 77 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: that is Donald Trump got out of office and then 78 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: they felt like the control of the Senate had went 79 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: to the Democrats, and you felt like, maybe I can 80 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: breathe a little. And I agree. You don't have a 81 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: constant dumpster fire, you know, coming through your Twitter feeds 82 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: every day. But don't let that fool you. They just 83 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: they're just nicer. I'm gonna show you three to four 84 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: examples today how they're just nicer. It's and that the 85 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: gang banging is still gang banging. And oftentimes what the 86 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: nicer can do is to get you to look at 87 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: other things where you start appreciating things that are like, oh, 88 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: this is well, that's not that bad. That that's pretty cool. Meanwhile, 89 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: other stuff is happening right here. You got your eyes 90 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: on the big stuff. You're not realizing all the small 91 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: little stuff because the big stuff it's so nice. Everybody 92 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: worried about the presidential elections. You're forgetting about the mid terms. 93 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: Everybody watching the big Senate and government races. You're not 94 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: realizing the types of legislations that are being passed because 95 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: these people are nice. It just they do it differently. 96 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: But just like the old folks say, boy, it's the 97 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: quiet ones you gotta watch. You gotta watch them nice ones. 98 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: You can't forget who you're dealing with. The late grade 99 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: DMX where God rested soul just passed away with a 100 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: horrible loss. We had this has been a hard time. Recently, 101 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: we lost Shock G lost d MX, like we just 102 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: lost all these like, oh, jeez, man, Black rob Some 103 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: of y'all may not know Black Roberts, but if you 104 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: ever said whoa whoa part of the Diddy empire. But 105 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: d m X said, you know in a way that 106 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: DMX talk. He said, Oh, it's just a president to 107 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: beat themselves, and that trust the persident beat themselves. You 108 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: trust a liar to be a liar, You trust the 109 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: snitch to be a snitch. You trus crook to be 110 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 1: a crook. I'm trusting to beat themselves. All he barked 111 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: on songs and it was like nobody had a problem 112 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: with it. It's just the rough riders. He would bark 113 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: in wraps d MX. I love how he's remembered for 114 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: the barking and his prayers. It's just this authenticity goes 115 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: a long way, y'all. But I digress. This is what 116 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: I want you to do. I want you to remember 117 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: you trust a gangster to be a gangster. Yeah, I 118 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: remember who you're dealing with here, and don't ever lose 119 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: sight of that. And that's not to say they aren't wonderful, 120 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: amazing humans that have taken on the job of going 121 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: into public service. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying 122 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: the job calls for things that you need to be 123 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: aware of. Now, like I said, I can't put my 124 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: finger on why Long Beach sort of took on this character. 125 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: But like I said, I blame the ocean, blamed the weed. 126 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know, But I do know. This 127 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: of islens is bad for business. It's so it's necessary 128 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: to prove that you ain't no game. But it's bad 129 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: for business. Bring too much attention. So nobody really wants. 130 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: As a rule of thumb, nobody really want to turn 131 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: up the heat. You only want to turn up the 132 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: heat in as much as it becomes a deterrent to 133 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: stop people from stepping into your activities. You feel me, 134 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: it's better to move in silence. It's better to move 135 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: under the radar, whatever your moves are, right you, you'd 136 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: rather the civilians, that's the rest of us, really not 137 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: know what's going on in the in the gangster life. 138 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: You they'd rather not know. I just want to be 139 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: able to wrap our hood, make our money, hit our licks, 140 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and go about our business. 141 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: Y'all stay over there. We stay over here, you know 142 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And if it works, there's some sort 143 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: of like trade agreement we can make then you know, 144 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: with somebody across town, and it's cool, but like, nah, 145 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, get the money, you know what I'm saying. 146 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: But if we need to shoot, we'll shoot. So I 147 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: think in a lot of ways, the niceness, the approachable 148 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: nous can somehow work as sort of a way to 149 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: keep the heat down so that we can just continue 150 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: about this business. Because again, violence, although necessary staff for 151 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: business on, we don't need a lot of attention. The 152 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: prophet Little Wayne say, real gee's moving silence like lasagna. 153 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give y'all a second to catch that. Real 154 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: g's move in silence like lasagna. The g is silent anyway. 155 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: And I really think this principle is one of the 156 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: reasons why you saw finally some pushback on Trump is 157 00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: um from corporate America after the January six direction, when 158 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: businesses like tech businesses and other big time donors to 159 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: the Republican Party into the Trump campaign all started finally 160 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: being like, all right, bro, you went too far. And 161 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's principled but I am of the opinion, 162 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: according to my antennas, that like what he started doing 163 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: was sucking up the money. This isn't good for the economy, 164 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: Like this isn't good for our pockets. All this instability. 165 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: I need things to stay basic and predictable for the 166 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 1: money bags to keep rolling in. But all this instability, 167 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: this stuff, this is bad for bi. You fucking up 168 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: the money dog. So that type of violence and upheaval 169 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: box off the money. So that's really why I think 170 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: some of that great deep platforming started happening. Maybe there 171 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: was other reasons. Probably was It's complicated. People are more 172 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: complex than that. But my antenna's tell me that this 173 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: was a big part of it. And of course there 174 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: are those to take the opposite approach. You know, guns 175 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: ablaze and boo, I'm a shooter a I got them 176 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: things on me. You know what I'm saying, Come in 177 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: blasting and super loud, and a lot of times some 178 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: foods feel like you gotta do that to establish dominance. 179 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: You understand what I mean. And spray, just come in, 180 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: spray in the chopping everybody, right, make it very clear 181 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: that the blicky, you know, the blicky stay on me. 182 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Again, the hope is you 183 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: only got to do it once. But some people's diplomacy 184 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: is letting that thanks sing you feel me. We I 185 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: think we experienced four years of that. Just let that 186 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: thing ring, you know what I'm saying. But we're in 187 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: a different season now, that's more like Brooklyn. You make it, 188 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: we take it, you know what I'm saying, which is 189 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: like a Brooklyn ain't like that no more. Now it's 190 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: you know, yoga mats. Well, certain parts of Brooklyn. It's 191 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: still parts of Brooklyn. You probably shouldn't be caught up 192 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: after dark end, you know. But um, that's a gentrification joke. 193 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: But the point is certain people got certain approaches, certain 194 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: certain certain ores got certain approaches. So while Trump might 195 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: have taken that approach, Biden limo like Lombach Biden little. 196 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: This is what sealed it for me. I watched the 197 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: hundred day kind of State of the Union address that 198 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: President Biden gave, and I feel like he hit all 199 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: the high points, all the stuff that like I know 200 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: I would want to hear like that just kind of 201 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: shows he's just generally nice, you know, I'm saying, like 202 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: defending trans kids where it's like sham nor kids are important, 203 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: you know, and stomach racism. Gotta stop correct, get these nice. 204 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: You know, these are ground level, basic things a human 205 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: would say. But I'm still keeping my head on the swivel. 206 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden long beach. So here go exhibit A about 207 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: Biden just being nicer while nobody was looking, you know, 208 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: while we was cheering his dedication to lowering art CEO two, 209 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: we're putting out into the world, you know, getting back 210 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: into the Paris, climbing the cord. At the same time, 211 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: big homie going through with Donald Trump's arms deal, the 212 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: biggest arms deal with the United Arab Emirates. Homie, ain't 213 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: change it. Twenty three billion dollar package, slanging them guns 214 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: that nobody that because nice. But like look on the 215 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: super low at the end of Trump's presidency. I think 216 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 1: it was around like at the end of November during 217 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: the Lame Duck joint. Well what half of the country 218 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: knew as the lame ducks that and but he was 219 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: very convinced was just the beginning of his next turn. God, 220 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: that was so weird. Trump was sealing up this deal 221 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: where he would sell twenty three billion dollars in like 222 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: weapons to the United Arab Emirates. Fam. We're talking yo 223 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: F thirty five fighter jet, arm drones and associated missiles 224 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: like they're getting strapped up, homie, Like this are some tools, 225 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: y'all and it's gonna take mad years to get this 226 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: thing together. Now, foreign policy is such a trip. I 227 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: think we talked about it in in an earlier episode 228 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: to where this the end of Trump's things. So if 229 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: you United Arab Emirates, You're like, I need to secure 230 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: this real quick because I don't know if the next 231 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: Thigg're gonna be down like this, You're gonna give us 232 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: how many plays?

You know what 237 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like this this they can shift ending. I 238 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: need to make sure I'm gonna get the same deal. Come, 239 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying Now. A question you might 240 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: be asking yourself is why in the world would you 241 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: sell weapons to people like this? And I'm not saying 242 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: people like this, as in to the Arab Emirates person, 243 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm saying, why would you sell them anyway? Like what 244 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: do you possibly gain? And putting this type of firepower 245 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: and hands of anybody? Hell, why do you have them? 246 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: Were they just sitting around here scared money? Don't make money, 247 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: Go get your money. I mean not only that selling weapons. 248 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean even let's say, let's stay in the region 249 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: for a second, y'all seeing what this man saying about Israel, right, 250 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: and they write to exist. I got a whole episode 251 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: about the Israeli Palestine situation happening. Um, it's coming up soon. 252 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: It's called you what an outside, which basically if you 253 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: are now here, you really don't know what you're talking about. 254 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: But I mean it is Biden saying anything different except 255 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: for it's like, yeah, I mean, y'all do whatever, y'all 256 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: won't you know, Just don't don't look bad. You're saying 257 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: like you're not saying your stance ain't no different than 258 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: anyone else's. You just saying it nicer. You're just saying, hey, 259 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: Palestinians have the right to exist too. But you're not 260 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: talking about like family, like you're not talking no different, 261 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: it's you're just saying it nicer. Anyway, back to this 262 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: arms deal, I mean, and we also have a history 263 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: it's called the military industrial complex. We have a history 264 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: of arming people, arming countries because in the end we 265 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: feel like it's gonna help secure our bag. But yeah, 266 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: that's like a whole other story, the military industrial complex, 267 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: like a whole series. Maybe I should do it serious, 268 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: not be a bad idea. I just thought of this 269 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: right now. Anyway, this was trump'side deal. And anybody who 270 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: feel as though, you know, Trump was not they dude 271 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: that you was like, this is madness. We ain't spend 272 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: money like this since Eisenhower, you know what I'm saying, 273 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: Like the last like big arms here, like Ezenhard, the 274 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: Iran contra scandal that was arms trading. Like this is 275 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: the type of stuff that you think, Oh no, no, 276 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: that's Republican ship, that's that's warmong and that's bushy. This 277 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: sounds real bushy. Hold Up at Biden's State Department said, 278 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: we could confirm that the administration intends to move forward 279 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: with these proposed defense sales to the UAE, even as 280 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: we continue reviewing details and consulting the Emirate officials. Oh, 281 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: we need to iron out the details, but we're gonna 282 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: get this money. He just did it quiet. He's just nicer. Now. 283 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: Of course, this mug is incredibly complex. It's gonna take 284 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: years to put together, and the specific to fix we 285 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: can definitely say are different. Biden administration is saying they 286 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: really believe that like Trump put this thing together like illegally, 287 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: you know, but we're gonna go through. We're gonna fix 288 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: this thing and make it clearer, make it like nice 289 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: and clean, because at the end of the day, you 290 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: a are the homies. That's that's our click. We clicked up. 291 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: They're cool. We were getting this money out here together. 292 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: We got real enemies over there. I mean, so we 293 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: just look. I mean, what kind of big on we 294 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: are you?

But like nah, like now, 297 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: we're still cool. You ain't gotta hold on it every seat. No, 298 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: you are allied. You are allied. We got you. Here 299 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: goes some fighter jets. You just make sure that if 300 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: it pop off over there, did you protect our money? Now, 301 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: this dude justin Russell of the New York Center of 302 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: Foreign Policy Affairs. In this Hugh Post article interview, uh 303 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: he says that the organization will continue its lawsuit against 304 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: the State Department over this package. You feel me. They're saying, 305 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: it's our hope that Biden administration would put mitigating a 306 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: humanitarian crisis of global proportions before putting arms in the 307 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: hands of an aggressor nation like the u a E. 308 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: He added, saying he was referring to like the ongoing 309 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: wars and like Yemen and Libya, where the UAE has 310 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: backed proxy forces and carried out its own attack. So listen, 311 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: when we talked about proxy wars, how the war that's 312 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: happening on the ground, there's a whole bigger war happening 313 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: right where. It's these two bigger sets, these two biggerhoods 314 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: are trying to make a point. We talked about, you know, 315 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: these two pop Warner fathers who really they really got 316 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: the beef. But now their sons, you know, they may 317 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: have a little situation. It's stuff going down on the 318 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: ground and Yemen and in Libya, Like if you have 319 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: a second, like go, really people's happening in Yemen. I mean, 320 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: we ain't seeing nothing like this, Like this is wild, 321 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: And some of these people are saying like hold up now, Doc, 322 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: Like you keep saying Administration that you're different, that you're 323 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: here to be a humanitarian, that you said that you 324 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: said America is back right, We're gonna regrain our moral footing. 325 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: But you're putting weapons into the hands of people that's 326 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: keeping the heat up in other parts of the world. 327 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: Don't you consciously know you doing this gang banging? We 328 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: just you got money going. We're just a little nicer. 329 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: And a lot of times when you step into civil 330 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: wars like situations and like Yemen, you know, if you're 331 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: not really from there, it's like you don't really understand 332 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: the complications of it. There are some things that you 333 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: could definitively say like yo, that's a crime against humanity. 334 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: You're tripping. But on the other hand, it's like this 335 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: where like that far right, you know, isolation is kind 336 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,239 Speaker 1: of out of too. This is why it's hard to 337 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: refute that because in some senses you're making a great point, 338 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: like interventions, especially intervention wars where you depose a dictator 339 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: to post them like that, that stuff don't ever really 340 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 1: work out, and a lot of times, it's like, man, 341 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: just if you just maya business, you know what I'm saying, 342 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: you just be on the side of humanity, then like 343 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: then maybe you could have a say, but like, yo, 344 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: you should stay out of that because you don't really 345 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: understand what's going on over there. And if you were 346 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: really there for humanitarian efforts, like then I don't understand 347 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: why these financial gains seem to be the most obvious 348 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: reason why you over there. So like when people say, yo, 349 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: like I am not a globalist, which is of course 350 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: covered for just being not sinsgendered white, you know what 351 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But when you say like yo, I really 352 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: feel like a country should take care of itself, Like man, 353 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: take care of your own house. It's like, I mean, yeah, 354 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: you right, take care of your own house. What you 355 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: over here? Somebody over here, somebody else, neighborhood, you know 356 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, stopping somebody else's house, rearranging their furniture 357 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: when your house got roaches, money get like, you know 358 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, clean your own house. So it's like yeah, 359 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: but not like y'all mean. And then it gets even 360 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: worse because oftentimes those who go over there to hell, 361 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: got this like great White Savior complex, or they're just 362 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: going over there because it's like, yo, man, there's a 363 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: lictor hit, so let's go. So it's like it just 364 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: gets so complicated either way, we out here selling them 365 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: tools rather than being in there strictly humanitarian. Yo. We 366 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: let the nonprofits do that, we let the NGOs do that. 367 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: We out here getting this money. It's crazy. It's gang banging, 368 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: same way a lot of times, you know, the hood 369 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: set be throwing like little after school parties, little like 370 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: city baseball games and giving out like toys and food drives, 371 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: myge like on the same streets they servant. It's like, look, 372 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: it's gang banging. Hit. Go example to this one with 373 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: the Taliban. You know that how we're supposed to be 374 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: bringing our troops home, right, which in a war we 375 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: should have never been in. Let's let's be real twenty 376 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: years or some fighting, right, this is a horrible situation. 377 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: And I'll do your own goals on how the Taliban 378 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: guy where they got anyway, but let's let's sit that 379 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: on the side for a second. Taliban is basically like, oh, nigga, 380 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: we won. Then if y'all leaving, oh fan. We won 381 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: in Oh nig you have lost this war. We're the 382 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: guy when we wanted. You're about to negotiate with terrorists. Biden. 383 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: Just nice now, don't get me wrong, it'd be good 384 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: to get our homies home. But you I mean, when 385 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: you put your foot into some static, when you destabilize, 386 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: when you jump into some ship you had no business 387 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: jumping into. This is the thing that happened. Now listen, 388 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a terrible example, but follow me 389 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: here on the Bechtel cast with the two brilliant queens, 390 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: Jamie Loftus and Caitlyn Dordana. You don't never say it 391 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: like that. But I'm just saying that like that because 392 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: I live in East Lows and my wife would be 393 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: super mad if I ever said Zaragoza instead of Zaragosa. 394 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: That's Dr homma to y'all. We watched Poetic Justice, right, 395 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: and there was this moment when we did gave it 396 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: a whole you know, the Bechtel rating, And there was 397 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: a moment in in that film. This ain't no spoiler 398 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: because of film from ninety three where some like horrible 399 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: It was a terrible domestic violence situation where they this 400 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: couple was fighting. I mean it was fighting, bad yellow, yelling, mad, 401 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: screaming match. The whole thing is just totally out of pocket. 402 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: Just the girl is just dogging this dude, just brating 403 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: him all the way down, just cutting this man down 404 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: to a place that I've never seen before, just cutting 405 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: his man down. And then rather than taking it, he 406 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: just fires on her pole. That's a movie. This is 407 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: not me ever saying this is okay, that's not the 408 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: point of his story. But the interesting point of his 409 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: story is tupos response. Tupockets a man character is poetic 410 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: justice getting started, Tupacs Corp. And Janet Jackson, and Janet's 411 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: looking at him, her carry her characters looking at him 412 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: like are you gonna do something? And he goes that's 413 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: their business. That's two PACs is now, we just saw 414 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: this man hit this woman. You know what I'm saying, Like, 415 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: that's that isolationist theory. Just butter, just stay out of it. 416 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm not telling you this is what the response should be. 417 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: But this type stuff you live in learning the hood 418 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: where it's like, you know what, this is none of 419 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: my business. I should go ahead and stay out of that. 420 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: But it's but what do you do, because it's like, 421 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: this is a moment is terrible. So in the movie, 422 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: Janet jumps in and tries to stop him from hitting her, 423 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: and then he kind of backhands Janet's character and now 424 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: he hits her. And then this is when Pop gets 425 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: out the car and he's like, what's wrong with you? Man? 426 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: You're hitting a girl? Man a little punk, YadA, YadA, YadA. 427 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: So he beats the beats the crap out of this 428 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: guy and then leaves him on the side of the road. 429 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: It's a very important moment in the movie. But what 430 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: we noticed when we was doing the Bectel cast was 431 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: how it took him hitting Janet when he hit his girl, 432 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: that's when he came outside. I mean, is that not? 433 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: Is that not how we do our wars when you're 434 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: seeing something that's a horrible atrocity. I mean sometimes we 435 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: just like, oh, that's my ain't my business? I should 436 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: stay out of that. But then you're like, but actually, 437 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: you like, maybe it's no this should know if if 438 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: you got the ear of this aggressor, you you should 439 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: probably say something. Do you respond in kind? Do you 440 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: respond in violence? Jannet jumped in responded in violence? I'm 441 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: not saying that's the right answer to the wrong ass. 442 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is just a natural reaction to 443 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: be like, somebody needs to stop this thing you're and 444 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: now he jumps in because now his girls involved. I 445 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: feel like, I mean, I mean, is that not what 446 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: America do? Is they're not humanitarian crises all over the 447 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: freaking world? Is It's not? Is there not? It's mirror 448 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: and mar like? Are there not horrible crimes against humanities 449 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: everywhere that America is like, hain my business? They you 450 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I got nothing to do with 451 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: that until it is my business. You feel it? Now 452 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: it is my business? And then we jumped in. So 453 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: some of us are saying, hold up, man, you jumped 454 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: into some ship that you ain't really understand. You've dialed 455 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: up the heat, and now you're just gonna leave. I mean, 456 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: would you I'm telling you right? Wrong or in different? 457 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: This is why the hood just be like, looks none 458 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: of my business. I let them work that out. Not right. 459 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, this is the calculation we make. Yo. 460 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: Here's another example. Then biden't try to move silent, but 461 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: then the hommies called him on it. When this became 462 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: speaking of humanitarian crisis, this was the refugee issue, so 463 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: press it in. Trump lowered the number of refugees at 464 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: like it was embarrassing the amount of like refugees that 465 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: we were going to let in in the midst of 466 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: one of the worst refugee crisis that our world that's 467 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: seen in a long time. So the refugee cap was 468 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand. He was like, I think I'll keep it there. Yo. 469 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: The whole hood was like no, because no, yo. He 470 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: learned quick that time. Though to his credit he was like, 471 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: oh my bad. They came after that boy and it 472 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: was like, look, we don't have enough. Remember, we don't 473 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: put you on. You feel me out. Every once in 474 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,959 Speaker 1: a while, if you put somebody on, you could call 475 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: him on nation and be like no, no, no, no no, 476 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: time out because we don't put you on. See to me, 477 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: this is the difference between, if I'm being observational, this 478 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: is the difference between what happened in the right versus 479 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: what happened in the left in our modern state, because 480 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: the right somehow got this like personality code where that 481 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: guys just can do no wrong. Like I don't understand 482 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: what bewitched. Yall about Trump, y'all just defended him no 483 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: matter what he did. Treated this niggd like to come 484 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: in Messiah. Listen, in the left, we got this personality coade. 485 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: Oh no, anybody could get it. Nigga, we settled for Biden. 486 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You ain't Jesus my nigga. 487 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: You more like Matthew. You wanted the other disciples. You 488 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You're not a main character. Like, 489 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: do not get it twisted.

It's kind 500 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: of crazy that it works. Here. Got another example. Biden 501 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: is just nice, you know India's COVID situation right now. Right, 502 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: what's crazy is you know we ain't approved the astros 503 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: in a joint right, Like, we're not gonna use that 504 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,719 Speaker 1: when we're just sitting on a ton of vaccine. India 505 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: in like real trouble right now. He then told us 506 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: that like, listen, our moral compasses back, but listen, rich, 507 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: act like rich. If you think about the global hood 508 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: or like the global South, I mean the ship running 509 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: the same way, it's still a global apartheide. What wealthy 510 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: nations did with money is the same thing we're doing 511 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: with these vaccines. My nigga, Like, we get moding we 512 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: need and sit on it. Y'all gotta get you'all own. 513 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: You got to get mine, but I'm gonna get yours. 514 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: But that's not what you're saying to us. You're saying 515 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: something else different. Right, what's crazy about India is they 516 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: make most of the world's vaccines, but they dyeing more 517 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: than anybody else. Because we got a halt on the 518 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: raw materials going into India. Now we just lived lifted it. 519 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: And as of today he's saying he's sending help as 520 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: in the day I'm recording this if we know the 521 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: earth dying, you're supposed to be the nice one, na 522 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: homie is it's still gang gang. I'm doing what I'm doing. 523 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: Now for the last example, I'm gonna move away from 524 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: Biden and I'm gonna talk about really how slick things 525 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: are and the truest silence movers. You want to know 526 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: the real jis who don't like a lot of attention. 527 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: If you really listen to me, if you really want power, 528 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: you really want a power, you really want our power work. 529 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: You don't become the president because that's too loud. Everybody 530 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: looking at that, Nah homie. I look in the in 531 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: the in the early eighties and stuff like that, Like 532 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: let's let me give you a mob example, like when 533 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: John Gotti became like this larger than life character and 534 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: flashy and stuff like his O. GS was like, man, 535 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: we won't like this. You bringing too much. We don't 536 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: we don't like moving like this. We move inside. You 537 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: bring it too much. YouTube, flashy, YouTube, obvious this You 538 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: can't know this stuff needs to happen in the back 539 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: rooms and the quiets, right, that's where the power really happens, 540 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: not out front. That's the gangship. This the ship y'all 541 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: see on TV that this is like no like and 542 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: even if you see in the streets, like I mean, 543 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: the moves are happening in jail like that's you know, 544 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: being like most of the tide. So if that's the case, 545 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: then you need to be watching the Congress. You need 546 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: to be watching the mid term elections. Everybody worried about 547 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: them four years. You're not watching them two years because 548 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: the two years. But that's where it's happening. It's the 549 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: quiet one. They moved like Long Beach. Everybody nice, it's 550 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: nice out here. It's like, I mean, we look, we're 551 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: we're here to get bills passed, you know, and and 552 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: just like no, it's no, we're look, we're not the 553 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: We're here to lobbying the president to make sure the 554 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: president does the right thing. That's what we're here to doing. 555 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: Why you wasn't watching Do you know how many states 556 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: have passed anti protest laws because you're looking at the 557 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: big loud foods. Oh no, everybody got the eye on comptent. 558 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: Everybody worried about Yeah, I watched everybody worried about content. 559 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: Anybody watching Long Reach. Let me lay these things out 560 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: for you, so MPR first reported a number of these 561 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: anti protest laws that have been enacted a wrong amounting 562 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: the states. Of course it's Republican led come on now, right, 563 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: But it's written in a way that it you can't 564 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: say that it's really against Black Lives matters movements, and 565 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: like they you know that the insurrection stuff, we're kind 566 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: of leaving them alone. You can't. It's written in a 567 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: way that you can't really tell, but not so low key. 568 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: We know what the hell is going on? Right, So 569 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: in this article it talks about a common theme is 570 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: the demand for a change in police tactics and policies. 571 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: But at the same time, the Republican led states are 572 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: countering with laws penalizing protests. There's a new law in 573 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: Florida in which the governor is describing as quote strongest 574 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: anti rioting pro law enforcement measure in the country and 575 00:33:55,160 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: quote that denies bail for defendants accused of committing crimes 576 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: during a protest until their first court appearance. So you're 577 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: don't get bail. So if you was you know, looped 578 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: up into Pattiwagon, if you broke curfew, yeah, you don't 579 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: get to go bail until your first court appearance. And 580 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: there's a recent Oklahoma law that protests drivers who unintentionally 581 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: hit or injured protesters while fleeing a protest. In fact, 582 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: according to this report, there's thirty four states that have 583 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: introduced a t one anti protests bills. Now here's the slickness. 584 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: Now follow me. Now, these are bills most of us 585 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: don't notice till they laws. But when they bills, I 586 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: mean that's boring. Nobody's looking at just reading legis and 587 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: Jesus moving in silence. They just throwing them up right 588 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: now while nobody looking. I mean, it's a full proof tactic, y'all. 589 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: So they're saying, because you know, these Black Lives Matter 590 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: protests have been so violent, but checked this out ninety 591 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: six for and the Black Lives Matter protests have not 592 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 1: ended in violence. But you know, if you accidentally drive 593 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: into a crowd of protest because they was blocking the streets, 594 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: I was just trying to get away, you hit one 595 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: of them. Oh's cool, they should have been banging on 596 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: your car anyway. Mm hmm. Well, jeeves moving silence, y'all. 597 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: And when you ask these lawmakers, they say they're referring 598 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 1: to the stuff they saw TV, like in Portland, you 599 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying in Seattle, where they said the 600 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: protests did become violent, so they need to pass these 601 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: laws to protect our streets from the violence. And I'm 602 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: giggling because I'm like, but chind, I got nothing to 603 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: say for the people that actually attacked literally you. Now, 604 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: between the time I record this and the time y'all 605 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: hear this, I'm hearing that the FEDS is gathering the 606 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: case against these insurrectionists, and maybe they're taking their time 607 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: to really get their ducks into order so they can 608 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: slam dunk this mug. I hope, So, I mean, I 609 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: really hope they proved me wrong. I'm just saying though 610 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: as of today, money, that's I mean, my only conclusion 611 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: is because oh, well they gang gang. I mean that's cool. 612 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: I mean that's different, Davidowa. How else am I supposed 613 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: to read this? You you pass it riot laws, but 614 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: that um affect the people that actually tried to take 615 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: you out? Because oh that's I mean, that's set. Though, 616 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: you know, y'all think y'all slick.
