WEBVTT - The Mothaship is Comin 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:07.800 On a fantastic voy Let's go get baptized in the phone. 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:15.920 Come along on the Fantastic Voice Baby, listen, good time 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:24.640 Magde used to fear the Black planet the planet phone Listen. 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:30.600 Black people have a very different relationship with aliens who politics. 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:51.200 Y'all come along, I'll crack it myself up because listen, 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:56.960 I don't know if you know Funkadelic, Parliament, George Clinton, 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:02.120 all of that stuff is like pro tho afro futurism. 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.360 I don't know if you know, but that album that 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:11.319 Parliament record is literally it's an alien abduction. That album 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:25.800 is about when the aliens come. Because okay, listen, welcome 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.440 to hood politics. Clearly we're about to talk about shooting 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.200 stuff out the sky, okay, And I'm gonna get to 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.680 the actual part of it. But I really think let's 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.679 let's let's have a little fun. Okay. I don't know 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.399 if y'all know anything about afro futurism. I feel like, 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.240 actually I would imagine that a lot of a lot 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.840 of y'all probably do, or just you do you just 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.200 never know. Well, I bet you a gang of y'all 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:52.320 are into, like, you know, comics like oh that stuff anyway, 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:56.160 I'm speculating too much. I'm just gonna have fun with 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.840 this one because I feel like the comparison is so 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.920 obvious in this you know but which is basically like 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.640 who you with? What you who you know around here? 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.360 Where your grandma stay? Who is this? Who you know 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.639 on this street? You know what? I'm just for safety, 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:18.640 I'm just gonna shoot up this car jokes I don't 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.840 wise cracked me up so much. But anyway, let's do 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.600 a fun little like this will probably be a shorter 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.160 episode because it's really it's really not much to say, 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.680 but I think there's there is some points that need 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.480 to be addressed here. Last week we talked about the 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:39.160 Chinese bubble um that was in the sky, and we 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.679 just need to talk about some more because it keep happening. Now. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.880 This is the day after the Super Bowl that I'm 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.160 recording this now, and I'm I don't know if y'all saw. Well, 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.359 I'm pretty sure y'all did, because it's the most watch thing, 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.000 you know, you know, every year, But as an aside, 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:55.760 like if I was a Philly fan, I'll be so 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.040 furious the way that thing ended, Like y'all really just 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.640 ranting a clock out. I would be so mad, like, 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:06.560 I'm so mad they can do this, you know. I 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:11.200 was like, oh man, I'd be so mad anyway, So 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.240 let me get back to the topic here. It's a 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.440 really interesting thing if you really go into the psychology 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:23.560 as to how, at least in America, the way dominant culture, 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:30.440 you know, underscore white America understands alien and alien abduction 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.720 and alien invasions and the way historically black people have. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.120 Now I can't speak for you know, Latino culture in 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.240 a way that I usually can have like a pretty 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.040 cursory understanding, but here I can. I think I'm really 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.640 I could really only speak from a black perspective. And 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.520 of course this is like these are big, sweeping, big bucket, 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.480 you know, capital B black ideas. Here. There's this this 0:03:54.520 --> 0:04:00.560 podcast called the Backstory. It's with Virginia's like the I 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.200 think it's University of Virginia, Virginia State. I don't know 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.560 one of those things. I don't know their system, but 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:10.200 basically their history department. They have this podcast called Backstory 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.040 and they covered They covered afro futurism and and sort 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.640 of the history of like funka delicate parliament, and black 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.560 people in a and the way we think about aliens, 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.960 it's it's a really interesting pod and concept. I bring 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:27.200 all that up to say this. You know, the de 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.280 trope for the white folks is the little Green men, 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:34.920 and they gonna come and abduct somebody and do experiments 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.200 on you and start an intergalactic war. It's always it's 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.800 always the butt experiments, right, They're gonna they're gonna put 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.880 a probe up your butt because they want to understand 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.880 what's happening inside of the bodies. So there's always this 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:56.080 like fear of abduction and pain and experiments. And I 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.160 don't know, like if that's obviously I'm not. That's why 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.960 I said these are big buckets. They're not. These are 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:03.880 these are you can almost call them tropes, you know 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.920 what I'm saying. But this is this is an experiment 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.520 experience that you see, you know in the movies all 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.080 the way back to the fifties, you know, up until 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.400 Independence Day. It's like the aliens will come and their 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.799 hostile right, they're trying to exterminate us, their planets dying. 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.800 They just they need they need our planet and our resources. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.040 You know, it's some sort of intergalactic war. But either way. 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:34.359 Their goal is to exterminate us, or to run tests 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:39.080 to impregnate our women. All of these sort of fears 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:44.520 that are in that sort of underscore dominant culture kind 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:51.560 of white experience. If you notice, that's not how black 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:57.760 people have historically seen aliens. We've seen them as a 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:02.880 rescue mission. The mothership. You ever heard the phrase the mothership. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.040 That's all through that George Clinton folkadelic in Parliament music. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:14.039 It's that they are coming to save us from this earth. 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.360 Were about to go to an intergalactic party. Y'all. We're 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.880 gonna hear the funk. So when you look at God, 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.479 go go back, go look at all them, like all 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.279 the performances of George Clinton and the party, go look 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:32.520 at it. There's a party in space. We're getting up 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:37.839 out of here. That's so we've always looked at aliens different. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.880 There's this whole trope about and you could look at 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.000 all this history about how and sci fi in the 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.560 future ain't nobody or color, it's all it's only white 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.080 people in the future of Court knew a lot of 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.920 sci Fi and it was funny. That's that's always been 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:52.840 a running joke for us. It's like, dang, in the future, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.800 ain't no black people like we've always laughed at, like, dang, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.120 other planets only got white folks too, they got lizards 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.320 and white people that I saw this on other planets, 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.960 So we never saw ourselves in the future, right, which 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:09.840 was funny to us and also telling in the same 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.560 way that like the whole you know, Lord of the Rings, 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:18.520 kind of House of Dragon, Little Mermaid, all these like 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:23.760 situations where people was upset that y'all got some diversity 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.920 in these videos just because your fantasy ain't got no 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.240 black people, which is really what you're telling us. It's 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.080 like you wish there was a world we wasn't hearing. 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:36.680 That's your fantasy, whether you're consciously saying it or not. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.320 You know, baby again, people are only know what they're 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.120 familiar with, which is also telling you only familiar with 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.200 the white world, so you can only imagine a white world. Yeah, okay, yeah, 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:51.560 like j R. Tolkien was, I mean it was he's 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:59.280 imagining Europe. Okay, what do you imagining? Yo? Saying like 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.240 what is he? I mean what it was E pulling from? 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.440 You're trying to tell me what no fiction in Africa 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:09.200 or no fiction nowhere else? We have fiction, y'all just 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:15.840 imagine the world where people of color wasn't present. So 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.360 I think it's also telling the way that dominant culture 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:26.720 thinks by aliens. Again, it's it's an invasion. Why well, 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.160 because historically, again I mean, these are sweeping concepts. You 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:31.840 can shoot it all down if you want, or you 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.320 could just go, you know, look at some of the 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.080 some of the research around this is because well, y'all 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:40.120 have been colonial imperialists. So the only way you can 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:44.920 think about any other world power is in terms of 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.960 how you understand power. So you think in the way 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.240 that you expanded joke, you know, you as in Europe, 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:58.320 the way Europe has extended their territory because they believed 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.679 that they were more powerful, more wealthy, and far more 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:07.840 advanced than the people that they were colonizing. Of course, 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:12.560 in your imagination, a civilization far more advanced than we 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.720 are would function the way that you functioned based on 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.920 people that you thought you were more advantaged in or 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.959 advanced in. So of course they're just gonna abduct you 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:28.560 and exterminate you and do experiments on you. Why, because 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.040 that's what y'all did to us. You're gonna they're just 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:36.360 gonna enslave us. Where would you get that idea? Oh, 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:41.400 because that's what you did to us. Now flipping the 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.079 tables back to black people, it was like, look, we're 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.120 getting up out of here. You know what I'm saying. 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.600 There's different ways as to how like the alien thing 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.760 played out, because you know, in some of the like 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.160 Nation of Islam beliefs, like the Elijah Muhammad version of 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.960 the Nation of Islam, you know that, like the white 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.760 man's the devil, right, and can you blame these people 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:09.480 for coming to that conclusion based on what they was experienced, right? 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.280 Of course I don't believe that, you know. But the 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:18.320 belief was that this planet used to be ours and 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:23.520 we were the advanced species. We were the original man, 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:29.680 and white folks were just these were our lab rats, 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.720 and then they took over the planet and they're getting 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:43.840 their revenge on us. Now I'm not saying this absolutely correctly, right, 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:50.400 And of course, like any religion or belief it's like 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:54.720 what's orthodoxy, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's hard 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.679 to nail down orthodoxy, especially when you're talking from somebody 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.640 outside the faith. Right. Most of the time, when I 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.840 hear people talk about because you know, I grew up 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.440 in the Christian faith. When most of when I hear 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:10.319 people talk about Christian theology, oftentimes they're talking about one 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.640 particular branch of Christianity rather than and even inside of 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:20.320 that branch, there's differences of theology and opinions, and who's 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.480 to say what is orthodox and what's not? You know, 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:29.520 what is proper theology and doctrine and what's not. So 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.240 I'm giving that caveat about me speaking on the nation 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:38.000 because they don't all believe that. But as far as 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.720 like five percent nation, you know, FOI kind of gods 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.920 on earth, The undisputed truth is that, like the Black 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:50.120 man is the original man. And it's because I think 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:55.760 in our experience, as far as being part of the 0:11:55.800 --> 0:12:02.079 extended diaspora, we were robbed of a lot of our history, 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.320 like really like purposefully cut off from our history. So 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:12.000 because of that, when we got to actually learn of 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:18.319 our rich African heritage, it was like, oh, so our 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.880 history doesn't start at those slave ships. Oh we are 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.679 a part of where, part of a civilization just as 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.880 old as yours is, because it's the same plant mattered 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.000 fact older turns out we were the first people you 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.240 know what I'm saying, at least according to the bones, 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.720 But I don't know. I'm not fifty thousand years old. 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.240 I don't know. The point I'm trying to make is 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:46.040 you start realizing when you're you're taught for centuries that 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.160 you're less than human. Of course, when you find out 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.600 that that's not true, there's a part of you that 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:55.280 feels like there is something evil inside of these people 0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:00.560 that gave them the ability to for century, do this 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:06.839 to another human. Your only conclusion is like, these people 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:14.719 are devils. I mean, what else would you think? So 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.720 a good piece of you feels like gang Man the 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:22.319 Aliens would be would be a welcome thing, because apparently, 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.840 no matter where we go, we oppressed. Maybe we don't 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:29.480 belong here. Maybe y'all don't see our magic because we're 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:34.640 looking at like the cultural artifacts we created, the things 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:39.679 we discovered, the pyramids we built, you know what I'm 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:44.000 saying that, And so eventually you're like, maybe we don't 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:48.800 belong here. So in our imagination, in our imagined future, 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.959 the only way to escape this oppression is to escape 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:56.680 the planet. That was what was in our imagination. And 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.480 that's so when the aliens come it's a rescue mission, 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:07.240 mister Muller ship fibber. That's a little bootsy, little bootsy Collins, 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:11.199 And I'm saying I'd rather be with yell l E 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:17.840 backdives in the ball. Anyway, let's talk about weather blues. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.080 All right, we're back now. I think the easiest way 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.040 to think about these things that we continue to shoot down, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.920 it's a couple a couple of ways to think about it. Actually. 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.840 I think one is like, just remember that just because 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.000 we know about it now don't mean it's being going on. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.040 And that's the answer. But if you think about it 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.240 like this, whether you understand what them flying objects are 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.400 or not, like my okay, I'm gonna use my antennas here, 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:19.160 I don't at least I don't think they're aliens, don't. 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:24.840 I don't believe the unidentified flying objects are extraterrestrial. I 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:34.040 believe they are very extra extra normally terrestrial, extremely terrestrial, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.280 meaning they from here. I think, as a student of history, 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.920 there's been plenty of times that you know, spy games, 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:46.040 cold war stuff. Whenever we saw as a species tech 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:54.720 that was beyond what we conventionally understood, we called it devils. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:16:01.800 We called it magic. We called it God's divine and 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:07.280 then sorcery and then aliens. It's just because we didn't 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:08.760 understand it. I mean, that was the answer to the 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.680 ancient Egyptians right to the pyramids as aliens. You know 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.640 what I'm saying. So there are It's because whenever we 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.400 see stuff we don't understand a lot of times like 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:22.000 our brain goes to that. And that's so I opened 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.520 this this episode up just more for fun to talk 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.280 about that. But really I think it's as simple as 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:31.440 a car turns around the wrong street and or a 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.720 side street and it's a whole bunch of hume he 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:38.120 standing outside and they stare in the car down because 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:43.440 nobody recognizes the car. It might not be anything, but 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.760 you're gonna stop that car because it might be something. 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.120 And when you are addressed by this mob of people, 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.520 you better stay quickly. Who you know over here? What 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.080 you belong? Do you belong over here? Your where your mamma? Stay, 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:02.800 where your grandmamma? Stay? Who you know over here? You know? 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.439 If you don't get out the car, get out the 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.199 car for us, snatch you out the car. You need 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:10.159 to get the fuck from around here. Now. Add to 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:15.960 it that car driving extra slow and in a way, 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.040 and it's and it's a type of car you ain't 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.880 never seen before. Not only have you never seen that 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.359 car on your street, never even seen that kind of car. 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:34.640 I mean, you're gonna start questioning some things. So sometimes 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.960 you feel like it's not worth trying to figure out 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.560 what the answer is. We'll figure it out later. Why 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.440 be so aggressive in territorial because I don't know your intentions? 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:49.159 And sometimes, just to be safe, I'm just gonna go 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.400 on like this car up. I don't just you just 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.800 look better safe than sorry. I'd rather like this car up. 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.720 Then you light this apartment complex up. I don't. I 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:04.439 don't know. We'll deal with the repercussions later. All I 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:09.560 know is you shouldn't have turned down this street unless 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:14.160 you could give me a real, real good reason as 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.199 to why you out here. I'm gonna go ahead and 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.920 make sure you don't come back. So I think that's 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.840 what's going on in our airspace. I think, like I 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.560 said last week, now they're just me again using my antennas. 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.560 Like I say last week, this this beef been bubbling 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.320 up for a while. Now let's get to the actual news. 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:38.359 So for three days, US fighter jets have shot down 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:43.800 three objects all over American airspace. Now we've been finding 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:48.840 stuff all over I mean, Uruguay, Canada. It's been stuffed 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.680 in the air for a while and they all kind 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.320 of look a little different. So on Super Bowl Sunday 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.320 over Lake here on a US fighter jet shot down 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:01.800 this unidentified object. On Saturday, working with Canada, we shot 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.679 down a plane over a thing whatever that thing was 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.720 over Western Canada, which I like. I like it being 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.360 in Canada because it's like, if it is aliens way 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:15.320 way to break stereotypes and land in Canada, and Canada 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.680 is calling it a cylindrical object, so it's even more fun. 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.200 And Friday we shot down something off the coast of Alaska. 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.800 They said it was the size of like a small car, 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:26.960 but because of the weather, we ain't been able to 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:30.080 get to it. So Air Force General Glen van her 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:34.000 he's the leader of no AD, in his press conference 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.600 he was basically saying, look, we don't have enough information 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.840 to say whether it's it's like espionage or spywear or 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:44.560 not just yet, which is fair because look, you can't 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.360 be can't be alarming folks like that. Just in case 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.040 it ain't that. However, where your grandma stay, what you're 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.160 doing around these parts shouldn't have been flying all through 0:19:54.200 --> 0:20:00.440 our air So anyway, they the US statement is still like, look, 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.119 they didn't necessarily pose an imminent threat. They were all unmanned. 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.640 They looked a little smaller, a little different than the 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:13.080 first Chinese balloon we shot down, but out of abundance 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:18.280 of caution, like I told y'all, we just gonna go blast. 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.119 We're gonna send these these two million dollar fighter planes 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:25.639 and shoot one million dollar missiles at it. However, and 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.880 this is one of my favorite parts, it's not so 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.920 much that there's a ramp up of these things. It's 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.360 more that we just paying more attention now. Again, all 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:40.720 information is good information. And now the US has said 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:44.399 what we had to do was basically recalibrate our radars. 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:48.359 So there was this meme going around all Food's Gone Wild, 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:51.520 which I love it. And this meme was like it 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:55.960 was saying UK security and it was these like security 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.360 cameras that were over you know, those like linear ones, 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.000 and it was like US security and it was like 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.400 satellites and stuff like that. And then it was all 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:07.080 Mexico and it's a whole bunch of old ladies looking 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:12.200 out the windows or peeking out their front doors, because seriously, 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.320 I mean, that's my neighborhood. You can't walk down the 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:19.000 street with somebody's without somebody's thru like looking through the window, 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.639 like who wait, who are you? What you're doing down here? Listen? Listen. 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:24.920 The lady next door to me know everything that happened 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:28.600 on my street. Everything. The man next door to me. 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:30.479 There's a man next door to me, this old man. 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.280 Let me tell you, man, it's old Mexican man. Sometimes 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:33.960 I was outside working on the yard. He just stood 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:38.440 there and watched me. Didn't say a word. He walked 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.879 up and sat up and down the street. He just 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:47.560 be I'm just making sure everything all right. They just look. 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:53.159 That's that's the security is somebody old lady peeking through 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.160 the window. She know everything. Let me tell you something. 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.720 The lady next door at like, look, it's worth say 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:02.720 it again, that lady know everything happened on this So 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.600 the US has said they had to recalibrate because apparently 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:10.200 all their radars was set to missile speed them things 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:14.720 going too fast. They set for stuff that goes fast, 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.000 these flying objects is just going with the jet stream. 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:18.439 They just going with the flower. They just going through 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:20.680 the music. They're just going with the wind. So they 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:23.840 wasn't even ready for it. We wasn't even calibrated to 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:26.720 see it. These things be flying all the time. It's 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:30.639 just they flying higher than we're normally used to and 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:32.919 they flying slower than we normally used to. So we 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:37.680 had to start like adjusting sort of our situations. Oh yeah, 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:39.280 like take it to the streets. You was looking for 0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:42.639 the lowlo. You know what I'm saying, You need to 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:48.520 recalibrate early nineties reference with this with the with the 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:50.560 Great Rapper Yo yo. She did the song with ice 0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:53.360 Cube called the Bonnie and Clyde thing. She said, you're 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:55.560 searching on him. I got the gat in my skirt. 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:58.080 When the last time you heard gat? That's very ninety one. 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:27.480 But yeah, you got to recalibrate what you looking for now. 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:31.760 As of today, again this is February thirteen, US officials 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:35.119 say that the payload or whatever that balloon was that 0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:38.639 we shot off Myrtle Beach coast is like fifty feet 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:41.439 down in the in the Atlantic Ocean. They say that 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:43.960 the little, the little hard drive still peep to y'all. 0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:45.359 I've called in a hard drive. I don't know what 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:47.000 it is, but they say it still piece together. So 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:48.960 once they get that, they'll be able to know a 0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:58.239 live in mo But again, shoot first, So what are 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:01.760 we to think of these other balloons? Uh? I'm a 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:07.359 wildly speculate here, based on my experiences in history and 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:15.439 in street living. Sometimes, like I said last episode, you 0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:20.160 just trying to figure out what to work. You put 0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:22.800 stuff in the air, I just want to see how 0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:28.080 you'd react. The question now is, okay, does America scramble 0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:33.880 jet pilots, jet freaking fighter jets every time you see 0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:39.320 something in the sky like that? Oh? You know? Do you? 0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:41.360 I mean? Do you? Is at like a good use 0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:45.040 of our money, a good use of our time and 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:49.280 our resources, because if you got us chasing balloons, then 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:51.760 you could actually send then you could probably send a missile, 0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:54.879 because all of our fighter jets is chasing balloons, you 0:24:54.920 --> 0:25:01.679 know what I'm saying. And again, just because we ain't 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:07.000 seen it before doesn't mean it's not normal somewhere else, 0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:09.360 you know what I'm saying. Just the first time I've 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:12.400 seen a car with the steering wheel on the opposite 0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:14.560 side of what I was used to. I thought this 0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.719 was an alien car. No, it's Europe. Fam, that's just 0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:19.399 the way the cars are made over there. Eyes? Is 0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:21.439 this this craziest thing I've ever seen in my life? 0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:25.560 Do I'm saying? I also think we don't know what's 0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:31.200 going on on Chinese television. We don't know what they discovering. 0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:35.720 We only know, remember we but all information is good information. 0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:37.919 We don't we know what our government is willing to 0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:40.080 tell us based on what they have to tell us. 0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:44.680 Because every citizen got a camera on their phone. YO, 0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:48.480 say so you gotta have some answer, you know what 0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:53.480 I mean? I also know the government has if you 0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:59.320 followed cractober Fest has no problem lying being like you know, 0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:02.880 gene Halls the false head ass like, I do not 0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:06.240 know this man, we are not. I don't know what 0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:10.360 you mean. Fund fund in the constraous Nope, I don't 0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:14.960 know what you're talking about. I'm telling you, man. Cold 0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:21.320 War had government's alling. There's also just like happening in 0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:24.280 the Cold War, a possibility that the left hand don't 0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:28.080 know what the right hand is doing. It's completely possible 0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.040 the same in China. We think that that's a one 0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:33.399 block regime. It's it might be some plausible deniability happening 0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:36.240 over there too. It might not even be China. It 0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:39.639 might be China's homies. It might be China trolling. It 0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:43.639 could be anything. The point is, I believe we're just 0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:49.919 in a new Cold War. That's just what it is. 0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:53.840 It's just the Cold War isn't done with, like like 0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:59.720 the TV show The Americans, although we still do have spies. 0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:04.399 Here's one that just got released. It's Lady that was 0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:09.960 like that like had us going for years. But why 0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:13.200 send a human white paid for a satellite when you 0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:16.000 could float the balloon and if the balloon gets shot downhill, 0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:19.159 it's probably already we have the technology to talk to 0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:23.840 a rover on Mars. What'll make you think whoever floating 0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:27.080 these things ain't already got the information they need from it. 0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:31.320 Hit delete from the from the hard drive as soon 0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:34.040
