These are different places. 145 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: You know, you can just assume that this network of 146 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: a connection all thinks the same. But if you announce 147 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: a war on terror, you're just shooting at anything that 148 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: you think looks like the people you're looking for. I mean, 149 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: I could go on and on. You know, Samoans aren't 150 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: tonguings and funny story were not so funny story. But 151 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: I tell you what, where I was originally from the 152 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: area I'm originally from had a pretty decent Samoan population. 153 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: Now where I moved to go to high school, they 154 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: were tonguings.

That was my perception, right, But 158 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: let me tell you what. You better not mix them up. 159 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: Don't you confuse no tongue in for no samoa. That's 160 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: a This is an offense, and it's not my place 161 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: to understand why that's so offensive.

They two different people, and you should 163 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: respect that. I can just walk in here and be like, oh, 164 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: willy nilly, like you need to do your homework, then 165 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 1: you you creating more problems in your ability to try 166 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: to fix them. Wan Terrice, what's kind of like this? 167 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: M So today, I want to get into the weeds 168 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: as to what happened septem right when we finally declared war. 169 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about Senator Barbara Belle Black, the lone 170 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: black woman that voted against it right good for her 171 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: history has proven she was on the right side, and 172 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: sort of how in the hell we went from al 173 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: Qaeda the Taliban to isis to just just all these 174 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: different places that if you're not paying attention, you may 175 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: not understand how in the hell this became so convoluted 176 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: and how we got away with it. I think that's 177 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: the most interesting part ahead did we get away with this? 178 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: So first, let me back up and say this as 179 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: a sort of ethnic studies, sociology history, you know, someone 180 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: who just enjoys culture. Let me put that hat on first. 181 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: I think it's important to understand that this swath of 182 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: earth Swanna. That's what I learned from the homies on 183 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: ethnically ambiguous, which is Southwest Asian, North African. Right. So 184 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: this area that some would call the Middle East, which 185 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: is would mean that you're centering Europe. If it's the 186 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: Middle East anyway. If you don't center Europe, then it's 187 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: not the Middle anything. It's just where they are, right anyway, 188 00:12:49,960 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: This region is as ethnically and religiously diverse as any 189 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: other region in the world. When I think about just 190 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: the country of Cameroon in Africa, like, which is not 191 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: this region, but the country of Cameroon in Africa. I 192 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: remember they said, y'all's two h fifty languages spoken in 193 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: the capital city. So in the or in the country, 194 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: I mean it's two fift just just in that country 195 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: is two or fifty different languages. Well, what's the language 196 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: of of Cameroon French? Nick, No, like this, the colonizes language. 197 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: You have to remember this region wasn't always Muslim. There 198 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: was plenty of tribal practices. There's there are religions that 199 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: existed way before the prophet Muhammad, and there are villages 200 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: and people who practice a lot of these, you know, 201 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: sort of tribal traditions that really ain't got nothing to 202 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: do with anything that you and I would identify as Arab. 203 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: Matter of fact, they don't even speak Arabic. Let me 204 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: really blow your mind. The Taliban that's pastuned just from 205 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: a whole other region. They're just that's a whole other 206 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: tribal ethnicity, their past tune. Like I know, yeah, I'm 207 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you never thought of that. But unless well, 208 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if you haven't thought of that. But 209 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: let me remind you they're pastuned. You I'm saying, like, 210 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: it's a whole it's a whole other ship. You feel me, 211 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: So if you're not. And look, they don't get long issis, 212 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: they never had. They don't even practice the same type 213 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: Islam like it's there. They're remarkably different, you know, I mean, 214 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: it's sixes, they trades. I guess all I'm trying to 215 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: tell you is this place has such a long, deep 216 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: and rich and diverse history that if you just coming. 217 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: You just let America tell it, You just let our 218 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: history books tell it. It's just all these the all 219 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: these just the same people roam in the same desert. 220 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: Like no, these people are very, very diverse. So I 221 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: think it's important to remember that first, the views for 222 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: which they see ways forward are just as diverse justice 223 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: all over the place as ours are. You could, i mean, 224 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: drop yourself into any place of America and be like, 225 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: what's the best way to fix America? You ask ten people, 226 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: gonna get ten different answers the same. It's like, we 227 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: feel like, because of our lens that you can just 228 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: paint them as one thing, and it's just not it's 229 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: just not true. We just call these groups who are 230 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: in fact extreme, you know, we'll say that, you know, 231 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: depend on who you ask, but we just call them 232 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: all one thing. There's an academic term for that. It's 233 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: called a pan ethnic term. Like Asian you mean, I 234 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: mean countries are in Asia, you mean different types of 235 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: humans are in Asia, African. You have a looked at, 236 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: looked in the face of a Somali an Ethiopian, and 237 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: put that person's face next to a Nigerian. They don't 238 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: look the same because it's the place is huge. Like 239 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: I can't stress this enough. You gotta account for the diversity, right, 240 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: So first let's back up there. This is a very 241 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: diverse place, and everybody wasn't on board with everything, just 242 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: like every neigga from South said within gang bang although 243 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: those may have been our family, but we weren't all involved, right, 244 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: and every crip gang don't get along just because they 245 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: all it's not this you it's not the same. Now 246 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: back specifically to our situation, all of these different regions 247 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: have maybe similar, but very different relations with the West 248 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: and with America. Saudi Arabia is not Iran, which is 249 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: not Iraq, which is not Pakistan, which is not Afghanistan, 250 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: which is not Syria. Like it's not which is not Lebanon, 251 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: which is not Palestine. You know what I'm saying, Which 252 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: means which is not Hamas, which is not Like it's 253 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: not the same, you know. So it may seem it, 254 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: but that's because nigga, we racist. Let me just keep 255 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: let's just be real, like it's because we races. We 256 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: ain't taking our time to understand that this is it's different, 257 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: Like it's it's they're all different histories, right, So who 258 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: specifically attacked America in nine eleven was al Qaeda. Well, 259 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: Sama bin Laden was the head of al Qaeda. That's 260 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: a very specific and particular group that had a very 261 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: particular goal. All right, but now we're leaving Afghanistan and 262 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: we're dealing with ISIS and the Talibania I SIS wouldn't 263 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: need outside back then. They was paying attention, but they 264 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't e outside back then. So how did we get here? Well, 265 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: let's get into the weeds. So nine eleven happens. Oh 266 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: my god, I don't know who. If you were old 267 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: enough to remember it, most people know exactly where they 268 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: were when they went down. I remember I was getting 269 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: up for I was uh working at a middle school 270 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: out in the city called Diamond Bar in greater Los 271 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: Angeles areas. I think it's one of the last cities 272 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: in the l A County anyway, pretty affluent area, and 273 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: I remember I was about to get up for work 274 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: and my dad you know, runs into the room like 275 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: I was living with my thoughts at the time, um, 276 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: and he was like, have you turned on the TV? 277 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: And I was like, no, no, you guys just woke up. 278 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: So I turned on the TV and I think like collectively. 279 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: I saw the second plane, you know, fly into the 280 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: twin towers, and obviously I've probably had the same reaction 281 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: everybody else there where. I was like, yo, is this 282 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: a movie? Is this a trailer? Like is this real? 283 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: You know, so that first like this can't be real situation, 284 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: and then it hits you like, oh my god, this 285 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: is real. It actually happened, And I remember the eerie 286 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: feeling of like for the next day or two, like 287 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: no planes in the sky. Now, if you live in 288 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: l a. It's like since anywhere near l A X 289 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: you hear planes all the time, you know what I'm saying, Like, 290 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: so you you know, it's such a normal to where 291 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: it's like it's white noise. So it was super eerie 292 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: once that sound in sight of planes just not flying 293 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: in the air was like I was crazy, But yeah, 294 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: I was glued to the TV like everybody else, you know, 295 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: just like going crazy, you know what I'm saying. And 296 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: the response of President Bush and everybody involved is one 297 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: that anyone would expect to where it's like, oh, nigga, 298 00:20:48,040 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: it's all like the name of your show, like all right, 299 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: who did this?

You know. And I've heard some military theory 302 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: of having a unbalanced response to an attacked as a 303 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: way to guarantee you don't get attacked again. Now, me 304 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: as a civilian who was affiliated and just in the city, 305 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and then left my old 306 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: hood to grow up in this like Latino hood where 307 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: I was with all these like all these vatos that 308 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: actually kind of resonated with me in the sense that 309 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: I need to lose my mind.

The point is this, as a 329 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: matter of fact, as a funny story, this was like 330 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: this kind of theory, like I kind of sparked the 331 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: whole idea of how I think about politics in the 332 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: sense that I'm like, oh yeah, it kind of is 333 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: just like what happened in um the bombing of Pearl Harbor. 334 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: What it like, what did we do in response?

No, really, it says in general. I'm not paraphrasing. 394 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: He says in general that the President is authorized to 395 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations and 396 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: organizations or persons he determined planned, authorized, committed, or aided 397 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: in the terrorist attacks occurred on September eleven two or harbord. 398 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: Here's where it gets good or harbored such organizations or 399 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: persons in order to prevent further attacks of international terrorism 400 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: against the United States by such nations, organizations, or persons. 401 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm a hone in on the part that got us 402 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: from al Qaeda to Taliban or harbored such organizations or persons, 403 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: in order to prevent any further acts of international terrorism 404 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: against the United States by such nations, organizations, or persons. 405 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: What does this mean? This means that we don't got 406 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: to name nobody. This means we don't have to name 407 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: a location. This means if we even think you connected, 408 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: we dump it. This is Kevin Hart leaving the smart 409 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: Tech being like it don't fucking matter. I'm clapping everybody. 410 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: If you with him, I'm clapping. This is also goes 411 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: back to that theory I just said, which is to 412 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: prevent any further acts and in the and in the 413 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: and in the inner city terms, middle school, high school, 414 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: prison yard, whatever the park held the woods. I think 415 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: any toughest nails, you know, rust belt, Michigan steel worker, 416 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: you get this in order to prevent any more aggressions 417 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: towards me. I'm a wilder funk out like I'm a 418 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: while out. You won't see you won't see these hands. 419 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave one of y'all limping like, trust me, 420 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna remember this now according to the records, which 421 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: I mean you could pull up the audio because it's 422 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,959 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's public record. Like so, then Senator 423 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, who did vote for this, don't let him 424 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: say he didn't, he said, And it's because it's in 425 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: the paperwork. Look, man, it has to do with who 426 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: was connected to nine eleven. It's not like we're just 427 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: gonna go out here shooting everywhere. It has to be 428 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: who was connected to lem If you was connected to 429 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: al Qaeda, like directly, then this is what this is about. Like, relax, 430 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: We're not. It's not we're going to be in a 431 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: war for another twenty years just shooting all over the place. 432 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: H Uh, Yes, it is. Why because this thing is 433 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: so vague, so broad, and so up to the interpreter 434 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: that it just reminds me of when you're living in 435 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: a neighborhood that just got green lit. They just shooting 436 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: because they think you connected, They think y'all involved. Dog, 437 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: we dropped bombs in Somalia. We was doing drone strikes 438 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: all over the damn place everywhere. Why because of this 439 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: one passage right here by any such nations, organizations, or powers, 440 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: if you aid it or harbored such organizations or persons nigga, 441 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: we get to shoot if we think you were part 442 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: of it, if you help them. But look, you know 443 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: what's not defined is what do you mean by help? 444 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: What do you mean by connected? Now? How did you 445 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: get to the Taliban? Well, we all know where we 446 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: shouldn't know now that after nine eleven, that's where the 447 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: Taliban gave Osama place to hide. He was hiding in Afghanistan. 448 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: So they're okay, that's a direct connection. Like, oh, you're 449 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: helping this nigga, All right, it's on right. You ever 450 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: step back and say why are you helping him? Now? 451 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: Y'all should do your real homework. As the difference between 452 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: al Qaida and the Taliban, you should y'all should do 453 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: your homework. But I think here's what's interesting. I think 454 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: it's something to be said about when you have such 455 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: an aggressor like that that like, even if al Qaida 456 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: and the Taliban really ain't get along, you've our aggression 457 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: made them. Let's just say it was some ship that 458 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: none of us even knew about. That's like just happening 459 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: over there. We don't know what's going on over there. 460 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: And I'm going on record telling you right now because 461 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: I noticed for a fact, you know that bombing that 462 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: happened at that airport after you know of a few 463 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: months ago, after after America left, I was isis isis 464 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: don't get along with Taliban. You have to picture it 465 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: like this, like if isis is isis is one hood, 466 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: Taliban another hood. America was more like the cops where 467 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: it was just like, well none of us like you. Yeah, 468 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: we don't get along. But now that you're gone, why 469 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: the why the Taliban get to be up? We want 470 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: to be up. We used to be up, y'all. Y'all 471 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: when we was up, y'all came in here and destroyed us, 472 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: just like they're destroying the Taliban. So I'm glad y'all gone. 473 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: But this is our chance. We need to get our 474 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: get back. I want to be up. Iis ain't even 475 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: from Afghanistan. They from Syria and rock like, they're not 476 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: even from there.

They're not even 478 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 1: from that region. It's like, look, this shit is complicated. 479 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: You can't just go over there shooting everybody feel different 480 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 1: about everything.

It's 483 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 1: like it's not the same, yo. But look this little 484 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: paragraph right here. That's how we was able to shoot 485 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: at whatever we thought. And here's what was so crazy 486 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 1: about this war.
