Speaker 1: Running around all over l A, l A County, Hollywood,
Speaker 1: Orange County, Inland Empire, just loving hip hop, loving the scene,
Speaker 1: going to different house parties, and then like just like
Speaker 1: nightlife and stuff like that. Like there's one thing that
Speaker 1: I got good at noticing even among Los Angeles people,
Speaker 1: you could spot somebody from Long Beach I mean even
Speaker 1: across the country, Like I could be in Chicago, New York,
Speaker 1: down south and they just got a thing about them.
Speaker 1: They're just extremely likable and just very funny, just great
Speaker 1: people to be around. They will beat your ass. It's
Speaker 1: the quiet ones you gotta watch, y'all hood politics. I
Speaker 1: knew when I was gonna starting to have children that
Speaker 1: I wanted to raise my kids in Long Beach because
Speaker 1: I had never met a Long Beach native. I just
Speaker 1: didn't love. And I've been trying to put my finger
Speaker 1: on what it is, and I think it's the ocean.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be like it's something. Can you gotta remember
Speaker 1: Like Snoop Dogg and Sublime, they both from Long Beach,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Have Cameron Diz went to
Speaker 1: high school with Snoop, Like this just the city just
Speaker 1: makes just fun people snoop ot Genesis. You know, he
Speaker 1: a big old cartoon character, Vince Staples. Have you ever
Speaker 1: seen him in an interview? He's hilarious, hell crooked eye.
Speaker 1: Like if you notice something about these people. They're so
Speaker 1: smart and they're so fun loving, but the cripping is
Speaker 1: not a game. The crip they are symbolic of every
Speaker 1: hood dude I know out there, every some mowing people
Speaker 1: like that. That's some owing family out there. Like you
Speaker 1: know one thing that's interesting about like Polynesian culture. Everybody know,
Speaker 1: like the Samoans are always smiling. They're just having fun.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like you enjoyed him, so
Speaker 1: it come from a tropical, beautiful island. They will break
Speaker 1: your jaw. It's a year in a yang, like just
Speaker 1: a light switch. Like these dudes are cartoons. They're so fun,
Speaker 1: but they were cartoons that will beat this ship out
Speaker 1: of you. And they they nice, They quiet, real calm,
Speaker 1: So you begin to think that maybe you okay around them,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like maybe everything all good,
Speaker 1: maybe the gang banging that you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: That they're nice. It's not gonna rob me them. Foods
Speaker 1: will rob you blind the whole time that we're smiling,
Speaker 1: having fun. They didn't broke into your house, your your
Speaker 1: car already been robbed you, Like, listen, you cannot mistake
Speaker 1: they kindness for weakness. Uk mistake the fact that they
Speaker 1: present themselves as very approachable to ever. Second guess the cripping.
Speaker 1: And I say cripping because that's something unique about Long
Speaker 1: Beach is really there's only crips and Long Beach. I mean,
Speaker 1: there may be a little said it is only cripson
Speaker 1: Long Beach, but the point is it has to be
Speaker 1: the ocean breeze in the week. They just enjoyed themselves.
Speaker 1: I'm gona introduce you to this series that I want
Speaker 1: to call City's Gates. And they're not gonna be like consecutive,
Speaker 1: but like I'll put them in different times today. But like,
Speaker 1: I just think that, like sometimes cities take on a
Speaker 1: personality because the way I'm describing Long Beach ain't nothing
Speaker 1: like content. They on edge and content y. They freakishly
Speaker 1: talented in content, but they on edge like you like don't,
Speaker 1: which is different than the West Side. On the west Side,
Speaker 1: they kind of come from money. West Side remind me
Speaker 1: of Harlem, but we'll get into that. I just think
Speaker 1: each city takes on a certain personality, and if you
Speaker 1: understand how to navigate those personalities, it's a good lens
Speaker 1: to understand our political landscape. It's the quiet ones. You
Speaker 1: gotta watch real geez move with silence like Lasagna. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure if you ever had somebody old school around you,
Speaker 1: some of the some of the ogs are the old
Speaker 1: heads kind of tell you. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You gotta watch out for the quiet ones because you
Speaker 1: never know what they're thinking. You gotta watch the nice
Speaker 1: ones because you start letting your guard down. And today
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the nice ones that kind
Speaker 1: of got the little bait and switch that you gotta
Speaker 1: kind of keep your head on a swivel. You can't
Speaker 1: let these people lure you into thinking that they on
Speaker 1: your side, that the crypt and ain't cribbing. You understand
Speaker 1: a lot of y'all got real comfortable when the cartoon
Speaker 1: that is Donald Trump got out of office and then
Speaker 1: they felt like the control of the Senate had went
Speaker 1: to the Democrats, and you felt like, maybe I can
Speaker 1: breathe a little. And I agree. You don't have a
Speaker 1: constant dumpster fire, you know, coming through your Twitter feeds
Speaker 1: every day. But don't let that fool you. They just
Speaker 1: they're just nicer. I'm gonna show you three to four
Speaker 1: examples today how they're just nicer. It's and that the
Speaker 1: gang banging is still gang banging. And oftentimes what the
Speaker 1: nicer can do is to get you to look at
Speaker 1: other things where you start appreciating things that are like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is well, that's not that bad. That that's pretty cool. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: other stuff is happening right here. You got your eyes
Speaker 1: on the big stuff. You're not realizing all the small
Speaker 1: little stuff because the big stuff it's so nice. Everybody
Speaker 1: worried about the presidential elections. You're forgetting about the mid terms.
Speaker 1: Everybody watching the big Senate and government races. You're not
Speaker 1: realizing the types of legislations that are being passed because
Speaker 1: these people are nice. It just they do it differently.
Speaker 1: But just like the old folks say, boy, it's the
Speaker 1: quiet ones you gotta watch. You gotta watch them nice ones.
Speaker 1: You can't forget who you're dealing with. The late grade
Speaker 1: DMX where God rested soul just passed away with a
Speaker 1: horrible loss. We had this has been a hard time. Recently,
Speaker 1: we lost Shock G lost d MX, like we just
Speaker 1: lost all these like, oh, jeez, man, Black rob Some
Speaker 1: of y'all may not know Black Roberts, but if you
Speaker 1: ever said whoa whoa part of the Diddy empire. But
Speaker 1: d m X said, you know in a way that
Speaker 1: DMX talk. He said, Oh, it's just a president to
Speaker 1: beat themselves, and that trust the persident beat themselves. You
Speaker 1: trust a liar to be a liar, You trust the
Speaker 1: snitch to be a snitch. You trus crook to be
Speaker 1: a crook. I'm trusting to beat themselves. All he barked
Speaker 1: on songs and it was like nobody had a problem
Speaker 1: with it. It's just the rough riders. He would bark
Speaker 1: in wraps d MX. I love how he's remembered for
Speaker 1: the barking and his prayers. It's just this authenticity goes
Speaker 1: a long way, y'all. But I digress. This is what
Speaker 1: I want you to do. I want you to remember
Speaker 1: you trust a gangster to be a gangster. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember who you're dealing with here, and don't ever lose
Speaker 1: sight of that. And that's not to say they aren't wonderful,
Speaker 1: amazing humans that have taken on the job of going
Speaker 1: into public service. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: the job calls for things that you need to be
Speaker 1: aware of. Now, like I said, I can't put my
Speaker 1: finger on why Long Beach sort of took on this character.
Speaker 1: But like I said, I blame the ocean, blamed the weed.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know, But I do know. This
Speaker 1: of islens is bad for business. It's so it's necessary
Speaker 1: to prove that you ain't no game. But it's bad
Speaker 1: for business. Bring too much attention. So nobody really wants.
Speaker 1: As a rule of thumb, nobody really want to turn
Speaker 1: up the heat. You only want to turn up the
Speaker 1: heat in as much as it becomes a deterrent to
Speaker 1: stop people from stepping into your activities. You feel me,
Speaker 1: it's better to move in silence. It's better to move
Speaker 1: under the radar, whatever your moves are, right you, you'd
Speaker 1: rather the civilians, that's the rest of us, really not
Speaker 1: know what's going on in the in the gangster life.
Speaker 1: You they'd rather not know. I just want to be
Speaker 1: able to wrap our hood, make our money, hit our licks,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and go about our business.
Speaker 1: Y'all stay over there. We stay over here, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And if it works, there's some sort
Speaker 1: of like trade agreement we can make then you know,
Speaker 1: with somebody across town, and it's cool, but like, nah,
Speaker 1: you know, get the money, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But if we need to shoot, we'll shoot. So I
Speaker 1: think in a lot of ways, the niceness, the approachable
Speaker 1: nous can somehow work as sort of a way to
Speaker 1: keep the heat down so that we can just continue
Speaker 1: about this business. Because again, violence, although necessary staff for
Speaker 1: business on, we don't need a lot of attention. The
Speaker 1: prophet Little Wayne say, real gee's moving silence like lasagna.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give y'all a second to catch that. Real
Speaker 1: g's move in silence like lasagna. The g is silent anyway.
Speaker 1: And I really think this principle is one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why you saw finally some pushback on Trump is
Speaker 1: um from corporate America after the January six direction, when
Speaker 1: businesses like tech businesses and other big time donors to
Speaker 1: the Republican Party into the Trump campaign all started finally
Speaker 1: being like, all right, bro, you went too far. And
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's principled but I am of the opinion,
Speaker 1: according to my antennas, that like what he started doing
Speaker 1: was sucking up the money. This isn't good for the economy,
Speaker 1: Like this isn't good for our pockets. All this instability.
Speaker 1: I need things to stay basic and predictable for the
Speaker 1: money bags to keep rolling in. But all this instability,
Speaker 1: this stuff, this is bad for bi. You fucking up
Speaker 1: the money dog. So that type of violence and upheaval
Speaker 1: box off the money. So that's really why I think
Speaker 1: some of that great deep platforming started happening. Maybe there
Speaker 1: was other reasons. Probably was It's complicated. People are more
Speaker 1: complex than that. But my antenna's tell me that this
Speaker 1: was a big part of it. And of course there
Speaker 1: are those to take the opposite approach. You know, guns
Speaker 1: ablaze and boo, I'm a shooter a I got them
Speaker 1: things on me. You know what I'm saying, Come in
Speaker 1: blasting and super loud, and a lot of times some
Speaker 1: foods feel like you gotta do that to establish dominance.
Speaker 1: You understand what I mean. And spray, just come in,
Speaker 1: spray in the chopping everybody, right, make it very clear
Speaker 1: that the blicky, you know, the blicky stay on me.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Again, the hope is you
Speaker 1: only got to do it once. But some people's diplomacy
Speaker 1: is letting that thanks sing you feel me. We I
Speaker 1: think we experienced four years of that. Just let that
Speaker 1: thing ring, you know what I'm saying. But we're in
Speaker 1: a different season now, that's more like Brooklyn. You make it,
Speaker 1: we take it, you know what I'm saying, which is
Speaker 1: like a Brooklyn ain't like that no more. Now it's
Speaker 1: you know, yoga mats. Well, certain parts of Brooklyn. It's
Speaker 1: still parts of Brooklyn. You probably shouldn't be caught up
Speaker 1: after dark end, you know. But um, that's a gentrification joke.
Speaker 1: But the point is certain people got certain approaches, certain
Speaker 1: certain certain ores got certain approaches. So while Trump might
Speaker 1: have taken that approach, Biden limo like Lombach Biden little.
Speaker 1: This is what sealed it for me. I watched the
Speaker 1: hundred day kind of State of the Union address that
Speaker 1: President Biden gave, and I feel like he hit all
Speaker 1: the high points, all the stuff that like I know
Speaker 1: I would want to hear like that just kind of
Speaker 1: shows he's just generally nice, you know, I'm saying, like
Speaker 1: defending trans kids where it's like sham nor kids are important,
Speaker 1: you know, and stomach racism. Gotta stop correct, get these nice.
Speaker 1: You know, these are ground level, basic things a human
Speaker 1: would say. But I'm still keeping my head on the swivel.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden long beach. So here go exhibit A about
Speaker 1: Biden just being nicer while nobody was looking, you know,
Speaker 1: while we was cheering his dedication to lowering art CEO two,
Speaker 1: we're putting out into the world, you know, getting back
Speaker 1: into the Paris, climbing the cord. At the same time,
Speaker 1: big homie going through with Donald Trump's arms deal, the
Speaker 1: biggest arms deal with the United Arab Emirates. Homie, ain't
Speaker 1: change it. Twenty three billion dollar package, slanging them guns
Speaker 1: that nobody that because nice. But like look on the
Speaker 1: super low at the end of Trump's presidency. I think
Speaker 1: it was around like at the end of November during
Speaker 1: the Lame Duck joint. Well what half of the country
Speaker 1: knew as the lame ducks that and but he was
Speaker 1: very convinced was just the beginning of his next turn. God,
Speaker 1: that was so weird. Trump was sealing up this deal
Speaker 1: where he would sell twenty three billion dollars in like
Speaker 1: weapons to the United Arab Emirates. Fam. We're talking yo
Speaker 1: F thirty five fighter jet, arm drones and associated missiles
Speaker 1: like they're getting strapped up, homie, Like this are some tools,
Speaker 1: y'all and it's gonna take mad years to get this
Speaker 1: thing together. Now, foreign policy is such a trip. I
Speaker 1: think we talked about it in in an earlier episode
Speaker 1: to where this the end of Trump's things. So if
Speaker 1: you United Arab Emirates, You're like, I need to secure
Speaker 1: this real quick because I don't know if the next
Speaker 1: Thigg're gonna be down like this, You're gonna give us
Speaker 1: how many plays? How many bombs? Because Okay, no, nope, nope,
Speaker 1: I got my receipt. You know what I'm saying, Like, no,
Speaker 1: on all, you already said you was gonna do it.
Speaker 1: You gotta wrap that mug real quick, photo sail in
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be the new manager. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like this this they can shift ending. I
Speaker 1: need to make sure I'm gonna get the same deal. Come,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying Now. A question you might
Speaker 1: be asking yourself is why in the world would you
Speaker 1: sell weapons to people like this? And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: people like this, as in to the Arab Emirates person,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, why would you sell them anyway? Like what
Speaker 1: do you possibly gain? And putting this type of firepower
Speaker 1: and hands of anybody? Hell, why do you have them?
Speaker 1: Were they just sitting around here scared money? Don't make money,
Speaker 1: Go get your money. I mean not only that selling weapons.
Speaker 1: I mean even let's say, let's stay in the region
Speaker 1: for a second, y'all seeing what this man saying about Israel, right,
Speaker 1: and they write to exist. I got a whole episode
Speaker 1: about the Israeli Palestine situation happening. Um, it's coming up soon.
Speaker 1: It's called you what an outside, which basically if you
Speaker 1: are now here, you really don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: But I mean it is Biden saying anything different except
Speaker 1: for it's like, yeah, I mean, y'all do whatever, y'all
Speaker 1: won't you know, Just don't don't look bad. You're saying
Speaker 1: like you're not saying your stance ain't no different than
Speaker 1: anyone else's. You just saying it nicer. You're just saying, hey,
Speaker 1: Palestinians have the right to exist too. But you're not
Speaker 1: talking about like family, like you're not talking no different,
Speaker 1: it's you're just saying it nicer. Anyway, back to this
Speaker 1: arms deal, I mean, and we also have a history
Speaker 1: it's called the military industrial complex. We have a history
Speaker 1: of arming people, arming countries because in the end we
Speaker 1: feel like it's gonna help secure our bag. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like a whole other story, the military industrial complex,
Speaker 1: like a whole series. Maybe I should do it serious,
Speaker 1: not be a bad idea. I just thought of this
Speaker 1: right now. Anyway, this was trump'side deal. And anybody who
Speaker 1: feel as though, you know, Trump was not they dude
Speaker 1: that you was like, this is madness. We ain't spend
Speaker 1: money like this since Eisenhower, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like the last like big arms here, like Ezenhard, the
Speaker 1: Iran contra scandal that was arms trading. Like this is
Speaker 1: the type of stuff that you think, Oh no, no,
Speaker 1: that's Republican ship, that's that's warmong and that's bushy. This
Speaker 1: sounds real bushy. Hold Up at Biden's State Department said,
Speaker 1: we could confirm that the administration intends to move forward
Speaker 1: with these proposed defense sales to the UAE, even as
Speaker 1: we continue reviewing details and consulting the Emirate officials. Oh,
Speaker 1: we need to iron out the details, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: get this money. He just did it quiet. He's just nicer. Now.
Speaker 1: Of course, this mug is incredibly complex. It's gonna take
Speaker 1: years to put together, and the specific to fix we
Speaker 1: can definitely say are different. Biden administration is saying they
Speaker 1: really believe that like Trump put this thing together like illegally,
Speaker 1: you know, but we're gonna go through. We're gonna fix
Speaker 1: this thing and make it clearer, make it like nice
Speaker 1: and clean, because at the end of the day, you
Speaker 1: a are the homies. That's that's our click. We clicked up.
Speaker 1: They're cool. We were getting this money out here together.
Speaker 1: We got real enemies over there. I mean, so we
Speaker 1: just look. I mean, what kind of big on we
Speaker 1: are you? You know, if you got the tools, you
Speaker 1: ain't handed it out to the You feel me, they
Speaker 1: gotta be made about it. But like nah, like now,
Speaker 1: we're still cool. You ain't gotta hold on it every seat. No,
Speaker 1: you are allied. You are allied. We got you. Here
Speaker 1: goes some fighter jets. You just make sure that if
Speaker 1: it pop off over there, did you protect our money? Now,
Speaker 1: this dude justin Russell of the New York Center of
Speaker 1: Foreign Policy Affairs. In this Hugh Post article interview, uh
Speaker 1: he says that the organization will continue its lawsuit against
Speaker 1: the State Department over this package. You feel me. They're saying,
Speaker 1: it's our hope that Biden administration would put mitigating a
Speaker 1: humanitarian crisis of global proportions before putting arms in the
Speaker 1: hands of an aggressor nation like the u a E.
Speaker 1: He added, saying he was referring to like the ongoing
Speaker 1: wars and like Yemen and Libya, where the UAE has
Speaker 1: backed proxy forces and carried out its own attack. So listen,
Speaker 1: when we talked about proxy wars, how the war that's
Speaker 1: happening on the ground, there's a whole bigger war happening
Speaker 1: right where. It's these two bigger sets, these two biggerhoods
Speaker 1: are trying to make a point. We talked about, you know,
Speaker 1: these two pop Warner fathers who really they really got
Speaker 1: the beef. But now their sons, you know, they may
Speaker 1: have a little situation. It's stuff going down on the
Speaker 1: ground and Yemen and in Libya, Like if you have
Speaker 1: a second, like go, really people's happening in Yemen. I mean,
Speaker 1: we ain't seeing nothing like this, Like this is wild,
Speaker 1: And some of these people are saying like hold up now, Doc,
Speaker 1: Like you keep saying Administration that you're different, that you're
Speaker 1: here to be a humanitarian, that you said that you
Speaker 1: said America is back right, We're gonna regrain our moral footing.
Speaker 1: But you're putting weapons into the hands of people that's
Speaker 1: keeping the heat up in other parts of the world.
Speaker 1: Don't you consciously know you doing this gang banging? We
Speaker 1: just you got money going. We're just a little nicer.
Speaker 1: And a lot of times when you step into civil
Speaker 1: wars like situations and like Yemen, you know, if you're
Speaker 1: not really from there, it's like you don't really understand
Speaker 1: the complications of it. There are some things that you
Speaker 1: could definitively say like yo, that's a crime against humanity.
Speaker 1: You're tripping. But on the other hand, it's like this
Speaker 1: where like that far right, you know, isolation is kind
Speaker 1: of out of too. This is why it's hard to
Speaker 1: refute that because in some senses you're making a great point,
Speaker 1: like interventions, especially intervention wars where you depose a dictator
Speaker 1: to post them like that, that stuff don't ever really
Speaker 1: work out, and a lot of times, it's like, man,
Speaker 1: just if you just maya business, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you just be on the side of humanity, then like
Speaker 1: then maybe you could have a say, but like, yo,
Speaker 1: you should stay out of that because you don't really
Speaker 1: understand what's going on over there. And if you were
Speaker 1: really there for humanitarian efforts, like then I don't understand
Speaker 1: why these financial gains seem to be the most obvious
Speaker 1: reason why you over there. So like when people say, yo,
Speaker 1: like I am not a globalist, which is of course
Speaker 1: covered for just being not sinsgendered white, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But when you say like yo, I really
Speaker 1: feel like a country should take care of itself, Like man,
Speaker 1: take care of your own house. It's like, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you right, take care of your own house. What you
Speaker 1: over here? Somebody over here, somebody else, neighborhood, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, stopping somebody else's house, rearranging their furniture
Speaker 1: when your house got roaches, money get like, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, clean your own house. So it's like yeah,
Speaker 1: but not like y'all mean. And then it gets even
Speaker 1: worse because oftentimes those who go over there to hell,
Speaker 1: got this like great White Savior complex, or they're just
Speaker 1: going over there because it's like, yo, man, there's a
Speaker 1: lictor hit, so let's go. So it's like it just
Speaker 1: gets so complicated either way, we out here selling them
Speaker 1: tools rather than being in there strictly humanitarian. Yo. We
Speaker 1: let the nonprofits do that, we let the NGOs do that.
Speaker 1: We out here getting this money. It's crazy. It's gang banging,
Speaker 1: same way a lot of times, you know, the hood
Speaker 1: set be throwing like little after school parties, little like
Speaker 1: city baseball games and giving out like toys and food drives,
Speaker 1: myge like on the same streets they servant. It's like, look,
Speaker 1: it's gang banging. Hit. Go example to this one with
Speaker 1: the Taliban. You know that how we're supposed to be
Speaker 1: bringing our troops home, right, which in a war we
Speaker 1: should have never been in. Let's let's be real twenty
Speaker 1: years or some fighting, right, this is a horrible situation.
Speaker 1: And I'll do your own goals on how the Taliban
Speaker 1: guy where they got anyway, but let's let's sit that
Speaker 1: on the side for a second. Taliban is basically like, oh, nigga,
Speaker 1: we won. Then if y'all leaving, oh fan. We won
Speaker 1: in Oh nig you have lost this war. We're the
Speaker 1: guy when we wanted. You're about to negotiate with terrorists. Biden.
Speaker 1: Just nice now, don't get me wrong, it'd be good
Speaker 1: to get our homies home. But you I mean, when
Speaker 1: you put your foot into some static, when you destabilize,
Speaker 1: when you jump into some ship you had no business
Speaker 1: jumping into. This is the thing that happened. Now listen,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a terrible example, but follow me
Speaker 1: here on the Bechtel cast with the two brilliant queens,
Speaker 1: Jamie Loftus and Caitlyn Dordana. You don't never say it
Speaker 1: like that. But I'm just saying that like that because
Speaker 1: I live in East Lows and my wife would be
Speaker 1: super mad if I ever said Zaragoza instead of Zaragosa.
Speaker 1: That's Dr homma to y'all. We watched Poetic Justice, right,
Speaker 1: and there was this moment when we did gave it
Speaker 1: a whole you know, the Bechtel rating, And there was
Speaker 1: a moment in in that film. This ain't no spoiler
Speaker 1: because of film from ninety three where some like horrible
Speaker 1: It was a terrible domestic violence situation where they this
Speaker 1: couple was fighting. I mean it was fighting, bad yellow, yelling, mad,
Speaker 1: screaming match. The whole thing is just totally out of pocket.
Speaker 1: Just the girl is just dogging this dude, just brating
Speaker 1: him all the way down, just cutting this man down
Speaker 1: to a place that I've never seen before, just cutting
Speaker 1: his man down. And then rather than taking it, he
Speaker 1: just fires on her pole. That's a movie. This is
Speaker 1: not me ever saying this is okay, that's not the
Speaker 1: point of his story. But the interesting point of his
Speaker 1: story is tupos response. Tupockets a man character is poetic
Speaker 1: justice getting started, Tupacs Corp. And Janet Jackson, and Janet's
Speaker 1: looking at him, her carry her characters looking at him
Speaker 1: like are you gonna do something? And he goes that's
Speaker 1: their business. That's two PACs is now, we just saw
Speaker 1: this man hit this woman. You know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: that's that isolationist theory. Just butter, just stay out of it.
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you this is what the response should be.
Speaker 1: But this type stuff you live in learning the hood
Speaker 1: where it's like, you know what, this is none of
Speaker 1: my business. I should go ahead and stay out of that.
Speaker 1: But it's but what do you do, because it's like,
Speaker 1: this is a moment is terrible. So in the movie,
Speaker 1: Janet jumps in and tries to stop him from hitting her,
Speaker 1: and then he kind of backhands Janet's character and now
Speaker 1: he hits her. And then this is when Pop gets
Speaker 1: out the car and he's like, what's wrong with you? Man?
Speaker 1: You're hitting a girl? Man a little punk, YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 1: So he beats the beats the crap out of this
Speaker 1: guy and then leaves him on the side of the road.
Speaker 1: It's a very important moment in the movie. But what
Speaker 1: we noticed when we was doing the Bectel cast was
Speaker 1: how it took him hitting Janet when he hit his girl,
Speaker 1: that's when he came outside. I mean, is that not?
Speaker 1: Is that not how we do our wars when you're
Speaker 1: seeing something that's a horrible atrocity. I mean sometimes we
Speaker 1: just like, oh, that's my ain't my business? I should
Speaker 1: stay out of that. But then you're like, but actually,
Speaker 1: you like, maybe it's no this should know if if
Speaker 1: you got the ear of this aggressor, you you should
Speaker 1: probably say something. Do you respond in kind? Do you
Speaker 1: respond in violence? Jannet jumped in responded in violence? I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that's the right answer to the wrong ass.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is just a natural reaction to
Speaker 1: be like, somebody needs to stop this thing you're and
Speaker 1: now he jumps in because now his girls involved. I
Speaker 1: feel like, I mean, I mean, is that not what
Speaker 1: America do? Is they're not humanitarian crises all over the
Speaker 1: freaking world? Is It's not? Is there not? It's mirror
Speaker 1: and mar like? Are there not horrible crimes against humanities
Speaker 1: everywhere that America is like, hain my business? They you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I got nothing to do with
Speaker 1: that until it is my business. You feel it? Now
Speaker 1: it is my business? And then we jumped in. So
Speaker 1: some of us are saying, hold up, man, you jumped
Speaker 1: into some ship that you ain't really understand. You've dialed
Speaker 1: up the heat, and now you're just gonna leave. I mean,
Speaker 1: would you I'm telling you right? Wrong or in different?
Speaker 1: This is why the hood just be like, looks none
Speaker 1: of my business. I let them work that out. Not right.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, this is the calculation we make. Yo.
Speaker 1: Here's another example. Then biden't try to move silent, but
Speaker 1: then the hommies called him on it. When this became
Speaker 1: speaking of humanitarian crisis, this was the refugee issue, so
Speaker 1: press it in. Trump lowered the number of refugees at
Speaker 1: like it was embarrassing the amount of like refugees that
Speaker 1: we were going to let in in the midst of
Speaker 1: one of the worst refugee crisis that our world that's
Speaker 1: seen in a long time. So the refugee cap was
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand. He was like, I think I'll keep it there. Yo.
Speaker 1: The whole hood was like no, because no, yo. He
Speaker 1: learned quick that time. Though to his credit he was like,
Speaker 1: oh my bad. They came after that boy and it
Speaker 1: was like, look, we don't have enough. Remember, we don't
Speaker 1: put you on. You feel me out. Every once in
Speaker 1: a while, if you put somebody on, you could call
Speaker 1: him on nation and be like no, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: time out because we don't put you on. See to me,
Speaker 1: this is the difference between, if I'm being observational, this
Speaker 1: is the difference between what happened in the right versus
Speaker 1: what happened in the left in our modern state, because
Speaker 1: the right somehow got this like personality code where that
Speaker 1: guys just can do no wrong. Like I don't understand
Speaker 1: what bewitched. Yall about Trump, y'all just defended him no
Speaker 1: matter what he did. Treated this niggd like to come
Speaker 1: in Messiah. Listen, in the left, we got this personality coade.
Speaker 1: Oh no, anybody could get it. Nigga, we settled for Biden.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You ain't Jesus my nigga.
Speaker 1: You more like Matthew. You wanted the other disciples. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You're not a main character. Like,
Speaker 1: do not get it twisted. We all really just here
Speaker 1: for Kamala, and it really just here for Kamala because
Speaker 1: she got Auntie energy. She on thin ice too, you
Speaker 1: know to stand I'm talking about. Look over here, we
Speaker 1: slaves to our talking points. That's we all got our
Speaker 1: own problems. We slaved to our talking points over there,
Speaker 1: y'all slave of the personality. So listen, you didn't messed
Speaker 1: up one of the talking points because you need to
Speaker 1: let these refugees up in here. I need you to
Speaker 1: know that the you know, parliament, homie, we call in parliament.
Speaker 1: You gotta change your mind on this one. It's kind
Speaker 1: of crazy that it works. Here. Got another example. Biden
Speaker 1: is just nice, you know India's COVID situation right now. Right,
Speaker 1: what's crazy is you know we ain't approved the astros
Speaker 1: in a joint right, Like, we're not gonna use that
Speaker 1: when we're just sitting on a ton of vaccine. India
Speaker 1: in like real trouble right now. He then told us
Speaker 1: that like, listen, our moral compasses back, but listen, rich,
Speaker 1: act like rich. If you think about the global hood
Speaker 1: or like the global South, I mean the ship running
Speaker 1: the same way, it's still a global apartheide. What wealthy
Speaker 1: nations did with money is the same thing we're doing
Speaker 1: with these vaccines. My nigga, Like, we get moding we
Speaker 1: need and sit on it. Y'all gotta get you'all own.
Speaker 1: You got to get mine, but I'm gonna get yours.
Speaker 1: But that's not what you're saying to us. You're saying
Speaker 1: something else different. Right, what's crazy about India is they
Speaker 1: make most of the world's vaccines, but they dyeing more
Speaker 1: than anybody else. Because we got a halt on the
Speaker 1: raw materials going into India. Now we just lived lifted it.
Speaker 1: And as of today he's saying he's sending help as
Speaker 1: in the day I'm recording this if we know the
Speaker 1: earth dying, you're supposed to be the nice one, na
Speaker 1: homie is it's still gang gang. I'm doing what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: Now for the last example, I'm gonna move away from
Speaker 1: Biden and I'm gonna talk about really how slick things
Speaker 1: are and the truest silence movers. You want to know
Speaker 1: the real jis who don't like a lot of attention.
Speaker 1: If you really listen to me, if you really want power,
Speaker 1: you really want a power, you really want our power work.
Speaker 1: You don't become the president because that's too loud. Everybody
Speaker 1: looking at that, Nah homie. I look in the in
Speaker 1: the in the early eighties and stuff like that, Like
Speaker 1: let's let me give you a mob example, like when
Speaker 1: John Gotti became like this larger than life character and
Speaker 1: flashy and stuff like his O. GS was like, man,
Speaker 1: we won't like this. You bringing too much. We don't
Speaker 1: we don't like moving like this. We move inside. You
Speaker 1: bring it too much. YouTube, flashy, YouTube, obvious this You
Speaker 1: can't know this stuff needs to happen in the back
Speaker 1: rooms and the quiets, right, that's where the power really happens,
Speaker 1: not out front. That's the gangship. This the ship y'all
Speaker 1: see on TV that this is like no like and
Speaker 1: even if you see in the streets, like I mean,
Speaker 1: the moves are happening in jail like that's you know,
Speaker 1: being like most of the tide. So if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then you need to be watching the Congress. You need
Speaker 1: to be watching the mid term elections. Everybody worried about
Speaker 1: them four years. You're not watching them two years because
Speaker 1: the two years. But that's where it's happening. It's the
Speaker 1: quiet one. They moved like Long Beach. Everybody nice, it's
Speaker 1: nice out here. It's like, I mean, we look, we're
Speaker 1: we're here to get bills passed, you know, and and
Speaker 1: just like no, it's no, we're look, we're not the
Speaker 1: We're here to lobbying the president to make sure the
Speaker 1: president does the right thing. That's what we're here to doing.
Speaker 1: Why you wasn't watching Do you know how many states
Speaker 1: have passed anti protest laws because you're looking at the
Speaker 1: big loud foods. Oh no, everybody got the eye on comptent.
Speaker 1: Everybody worried about Yeah, I watched everybody worried about content.
Speaker 1: Anybody watching Long Reach. Let me lay these things out
Speaker 1: for you, so MPR first reported a number of these
Speaker 1: anti protest laws that have been enacted a wrong amounting
Speaker 1: the states. Of course it's Republican led come on now, right,
Speaker 1: But it's written in a way that it you can't
Speaker 1: say that it's really against Black Lives matters movements, and
Speaker 1: like they you know that the insurrection stuff, we're kind
Speaker 1: of leaving them alone. You can't. It's written in a
Speaker 1: way that you can't really tell, but not so low key.
Speaker 1: We know what the hell is going on? Right, So
Speaker 1: in this article it talks about a common theme is
Speaker 1: the demand for a change in police tactics and policies.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the Republican led states are
Speaker 1: countering with laws penalizing protests. There's a new law in
Speaker 1: Florida in which the governor is describing as quote strongest
Speaker 1: anti rioting pro law enforcement measure in the country and
Speaker 1: quote that denies bail for defendants accused of committing crimes
Speaker 1: during a protest until their first court appearance. So you're
Speaker 1: don't get bail. So if you was you know, looped
Speaker 1: up into Pattiwagon, if you broke curfew, yeah, you don't
Speaker 1: get to go bail until your first court appearance. And
Speaker 1: there's a recent Oklahoma law that protests drivers who unintentionally
Speaker 1: hit or injured protesters while fleeing a protest. In fact,
Speaker 1: according to this report, there's thirty four states that have
Speaker 1: introduced a t one anti protests bills. Now here's the slickness.
Speaker 1: Now follow me. Now, these are bills most of us
Speaker 1: don't notice till they laws. But when they bills, I
Speaker 1: mean that's boring. Nobody's looking at just reading legis and
Speaker 1: Jesus moving in silence. They just throwing them up right
Speaker 1: now while nobody looking. I mean, it's a full proof tactic, y'all.
Speaker 1: So they're saying, because you know, these Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: protests have been so violent, but checked this out ninety
Speaker 1: six for and the Black Lives Matter protests have not
Speaker 1: ended in violence. But you know, if you accidentally drive
Speaker 1: into a crowd of protest because they was blocking the streets,
Speaker 1: I was just trying to get away, you hit one
Speaker 1: of them. Oh's cool, they should have been banging on
Speaker 1: your car anyway. Mm hmm. Well, jeeves moving silence, y'all.
Speaker 1: And when you ask these lawmakers, they say they're referring
Speaker 1: to the stuff they saw TV, like in Portland, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying in Seattle, where they said the
Speaker 1: protests did become violent, so they need to pass these
Speaker 1: laws to protect our streets from the violence. And I'm
Speaker 1: giggling because I'm like, but chind, I got nothing to
Speaker 1: say for the people that actually attacked literally you. Now,
Speaker 1: between the time I record this and the time y'all
Speaker 1: hear this, I'm hearing that the FEDS is gathering the
Speaker 1: case against these insurrectionists, and maybe they're taking their time
Speaker 1: to really get their ducks into order so they can
Speaker 1: slam dunk this mug. I hope, So, I mean, I
Speaker 1: really hope they proved me wrong. I'm just saying though
Speaker 1: as of today, money, that's I mean, my only conclusion
Speaker 1: is because oh, well they gang gang. I mean that's cool.
Speaker 1: I mean that's different, Davidowa. How else am I supposed
Speaker 1: to read this? You you pass it riot laws, but
Speaker 1: that um affect the people that actually tried to take
Speaker 1: you out? Because oh that's I mean, that's set. Though,
Speaker 1: you know, y'all think y'all slick. So more of the story.
Speaker 1: It's continent in his Long Beach. The Long Beach dudes
Speaker 1: are very nice and very fun to be around. They're
Speaker 1: not being deceitful. Make this clear, they're not being deceitful.
Speaker 1: You know what it is, and they know that. You
Speaker 1: know what it is. My homeboy, Jay beats Man, you
Speaker 1: know North Side Long Beach. He was like, look, man,
Speaker 1: it's Yin and yang, bro. You need both energies. Like,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to be mad if I don't need
Speaker 1: to be mad, But when it's trying to be mad,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. There they are under no
Speaker 1: it is no false pretense. There's no pretense at all.
Speaker 1: This is who we are. We're just chilling until we
Speaker 1: don't need to be chilling. It's still on set over here.
Speaker 1: That's your fault if you think it's not so. You
Speaker 1: gotta keep your head on the swivel, y'all. You can
Speaker 1: just not watch Congress. You can't just you can't just
Speaker 1: be so worried about these loud ones, the matt Yates
Speaker 1: of the world. You know what I'm saying. He just loud.
Speaker 1: You can't just be worried about them. You gotta, like,
Speaker 1: you gotta watch the whole move because no matter what,
Speaker 1: they just gangbanging, y'all. It is what it is now,
Speaker 1: trust me, I'll take a Biden over at Trump any
Speaker 1: he don't get it twisted. It's still just politics, gang
