Speaker 1: So it's Kevin Hart and Romani Malco, who, as a
Speaker 1: side note, doesn't get his flowers like y'all need to flop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we need to give him his flowers. Four year old version.
Speaker 1: You're at the smart Tech and Kevin walks in and
Speaker 1: he's trying to get you know, brother to brother. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like hook me up with this
Speaker 1: warranty for like, you know, free, but but Romany's character
Speaker 1: was like kind of feeling himself and was just like,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna come up here and tell me what
Speaker 1: to do, you know what I'm saying what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: And he's starting to get crazy, and he do what
Speaker 1: all of us do. You just start naming niggas from
Speaker 1: the hood to try to be like you you hard.
Speaker 1: He was like you rolling the twenties nigked, which is
Speaker 1: all the ways he's like rolling twenties nig poo poo insane,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So we just naming all
Speaker 1: these dudes, and you know, uh, Kevin Hart kind of
Speaker 1: like whosthing niked like hey, so, uh, Kevin is trying
Speaker 1: to play it cool, but he's like you you you
Speaker 1: you say and all these big words and I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, so I'm just gonna take this
Speaker 1: is disrespectful, Nigi, cook me up, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And in so now they all in their face, and
Speaker 1: then Steve Carrell's character walks over who is the virgin
Speaker 1: and he's just like trying to figure out because he's
Speaker 1: now the new floor manager, you know, how to stop
Speaker 1: this altercation? And they yelling what nil who whoop? Like
Speaker 1: they're doing. It's it's a scene that like if you're
Speaker 1: from l A, it's super familiar. But Kevin looks over
Speaker 1: his shoulder at Kevin's character looks over his shoulder at
Speaker 1: Steve Grell's character. He was like, is this your boy?
Speaker 1: You with him? And then he goes and then Romadi's
Speaker 1: character goes, yeah, we were here, we wrapped the same
Speaker 1: smart tech. He was like, you just got yourself clapped.
Speaker 1: When I come back, I'm clapping both of y'all nicks,
Speaker 1: click click clicklick both of y'all, right, and then he
Speaker 1: storms out in the in the funniest Kevin hard way.
Speaker 1: And then as Steve Carrell is like, what did I do?
Speaker 1: He go, they don't matter just because you connected you,
Speaker 1: your homeboys, your grandmama, your great grandmama, your cousins. Everybody's
Speaker 1: getting clapped. Oh, y'all, let's talk about how the War
Speaker 1: on Terror got put together. Hood politics. So I first
Speaker 1: want to give all respect to and calibrate any conversation
Speaker 1: from now on whenever we're talking with her politics, whenever
Speaker 1: we're talking about actual wars, full respect to the men
Speaker 1: and women of our armed forces who went out there
Speaker 1: and just did their job. You know, your job wasn't easy.
Speaker 1: The ship is difficult, it's complicated. You're you were some
Speaker 1: of y'all were very conflicted, but you did it. You know,
Speaker 1: y'all got dad homies out there that you you lost
Speaker 1: in these fields. I just want you to know I'll
Speaker 1: respect y'all. I love y'all. Thank you for your service.
Speaker 1: Damn this ship is hard, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: So calibrate every conversation with that anytime again. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say this every time we talk about this. I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about y'all ever unless you think it's deserved. But
Speaker 1: most of the time, for the most part, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the military industrial complex, not soldiers. All right, respect,
Speaker 1: my Daddy's a vet, let's go. So we just crossed
Speaker 1: the twenty year anniversary of nine eleven, so many years later,
Speaker 1: we're finally quote unquote leaving Afghanistan and it's like, well,
Speaker 1: Asama bin laden it. So I'm saying, you know, which
Speaker 1: was a whole other war and just we've just been
Speaker 1: in this forever war just shooting that whatever moves. Do
Speaker 1: you ever ask yourself if you if you step back
Speaker 1: and say, well, Osama was the head of al Qaeda,
Speaker 1: how we end up fighting the Taliban for so long?
Speaker 1: How y'all get involved? We was dropping drone strikes and
Speaker 1: Somalia like it was just like we were just bombing everywhere,
Speaker 1: and we called it the War on Terror. And what
Speaker 1: was so interesting about the War on Terror is like
Speaker 1: you don't have to name a location because the name
Speaker 1: is so it's so vague. It's like we're just getting
Speaker 1: our get back. How did we get to that? Would
Speaker 1: you ever confuse? I know, I when you know, I
Speaker 1: was a young land when it happened, and I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: I thought we were talking to these people. What is
Speaker 1: we doing in the wreck? What that got to do with?
Speaker 1: I don't how are you this draw strike? Serious? Like
Speaker 1: y'all all over the play. So allow me to elaborate
Speaker 1: in terms that hood folks will understand. You gotta imagine
Speaker 1: that a situation where the disrespect, the dishonoring, the the attack,
Speaker 1: if you will, was so egregious, so crazy and you
Speaker 1: that it got you so out of pocket that you
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know where you are and I
Speaker 1: don't know how any of your homies let you think
Speaker 1: you could do this. But I'm coming for you and
Speaker 1: everybody around you, because they should have told you and
Speaker 1: then you. It's almost like you let the streets know
Speaker 1: if anybody I'm I'm, i'm, i'm, I'm gonna speak pretty
Speaker 1: harshly if anybody works with them, if anybody messing with them,
Speaker 1: anybody that works with y'all, like y'all now are officially ops.
Speaker 1: I'm letting the streets know. If you homies were him,
Speaker 1: you are OP. If you are homies, homies, homies, y'all
Speaker 1: are ops. Everybody somehow connected to this nigga is an OP. Period.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear nothing about it. If we
Speaker 1: see you, we dump it. That's just it was like,
Speaker 1: this is what happens. So if you civilian a cousin
Speaker 1: of a cousin of a cousin, all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you are op. You understand him saying to a situation
Speaker 1: wasn't even there for right? Or you know you folk
Speaker 1: hood's over all a sudden somebody start coming through here,
Speaker 1: shooting through your hood, and you like, what the like,
Speaker 1: what the hell did we do? I don't understand. And
Speaker 1: then if you start tracking back as to what happened,
Speaker 1: if you you're sitting there, and I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: the rules are very simple. If we if we're still
Speaker 1: talking gangsh it, the rule is pretty simple. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: look man, listen, that ship you had with homeboy, that
Speaker 1: ain't had nothing to do with us. Yeah that's my
Speaker 1: dog or whatever, but that ain't had nothing to do
Speaker 1: with us. But now you've made it have something to
Speaker 1: do with us. You didn't brought me in, you didn't
Speaker 1: dragged us in. We have it to do with this,
Speaker 1: but now think it. What's upthing? But if you don't
Speaker 1: want blasting, you were so out of pocket that now
Speaker 1: you didn't cause yourself to have to spread yourself then
Speaker 1: across so many different wars. You got ops everywhere. Now
Speaker 1: and if you got ops everywhere, then there's no you
Speaker 1: just you just you gotta constantly shoot. You gotta constantly
Speaker 1: everywhere you go. Everything's a opts. So it's just it's
Speaker 1: super out of pocket. But let's let's let's take this
Speaker 1: a little a little further. If you're not careful, if this,
Speaker 1: if you heard, hey, that's just out here shooting at everybody,
Speaker 1: because because the stuff was so egregious, if you don't
Speaker 1: do your homework, you may find out you're blasting at
Speaker 1: somebody who actually really ain't get along with the people
Speaker 1: you was originally mad at. I mean, it's it's not
Speaker 1: a hood seeker. You ain't gonna be like a gang
Speaker 1: banger to know that sixties and eight trades, which are
Speaker 1: two crip was you have to be a gangbanger to
Speaker 1: know that they don't get along. I knew they didn't
Speaker 1: get along. They're not the same. And I know if
Speaker 1: you're not out here as in Los Angeles, maybe you
Speaker 1: didn't know that. If you never listened to rap music,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't you know what I'm saying, like, you wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: But if you just are you say, oh Blue, I'm shooting,
Speaker 1: it's like, well you, I mean, you don't created a
Speaker 1: bigger problem for yourself. Right, listen, give me another example.
Speaker 1: The Bay isn't Los Angeles. I'm sure we're both from California,
Speaker 1: but it's it's not the same E forty and too
Speaker 1: short that it is not ice cube and Dr Dre
Speaker 1: like they we're. Los Angeles is not long Beach like
Speaker 1: these are, which is not confident. These are different places.
Speaker 1: You know, you can just assume that this network of
Speaker 1: a connection all thinks the same. But if you announce
Speaker 1: a war on terror, you're just shooting at anything that
Speaker 1: you think looks like the people you're looking for. I mean,
Speaker 1: I could go on and on. You know, Samoans aren't
Speaker 1: tonguings and funny story were not so funny story. But
Speaker 1: I tell you what, where I was originally from the
Speaker 1: area I'm originally from had a pretty decent Samoan population.
Speaker 1: Now where I moved to go to high school, they
Speaker 1: were tonguings. This is and listen, I'm I'm gonna keep
Speaker 1: real with you. They look the same to me, ginormous
Speaker 1: Polynesians that clearly are afraid of nothing and don't feel pain.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. That was my perception, right, But
Speaker 1: let me tell you what. You better not mix them up.
Speaker 1: Don't you confuse no tongue in for no samoa. That's
Speaker 1: a This is an offense, and it's not my place
Speaker 1: to understand why that's so offensive. That's look, that's their culture.
Speaker 1: It's it's different. They two different people, and you should
Speaker 1: respect that. I can just walk in here and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: willy nilly, like you need to do your homework, then
Speaker 1: you you creating more problems in your ability to try
Speaker 1: to fix them. Wan Terrice, what's kind of like this?
Speaker 1: M So today, I want to get into the weeds
Speaker 1: as to what happened septem right when we finally declared war.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about Senator Barbara Belle Black, the lone
Speaker 1: black woman that voted against it right good for her
Speaker 1: history has proven she was on the right side, and
Speaker 1: sort of how in the hell we went from al
Speaker 1: Qaeda the Taliban to isis to just just all these
Speaker 1: different places that if you're not paying attention, you may
Speaker 1: not understand how in the hell this became so convoluted
Speaker 1: and how we got away with it. I think that's
Speaker 1: the most interesting part ahead did we get away with this?
Speaker 1: So first, let me back up and say this as
Speaker 1: a sort of ethnic studies, sociology history, you know, someone
Speaker 1: who just enjoys culture. Let me put that hat on first.
Speaker 1: I think it's important to understand that this swath of
Speaker 1: earth Swanna. That's what I learned from the homies on
Speaker 1: ethnically ambiguous, which is Southwest Asian, North African. Right. So
Speaker 1: this area that some would call the Middle East, which
Speaker 1: is would mean that you're centering Europe. If it's the
Speaker 1: Middle East anyway. If you don't center Europe, then it's
Speaker 1: not the Middle anything. It's just where they are, right anyway,
Speaker 1: This region is as ethnically and religiously diverse as any
Speaker 1: other region in the world. When I think about just
Speaker 1: the country of Cameroon in Africa, like, which is not
Speaker 1: this region, but the country of Cameroon in Africa. I
Speaker 1: remember they said, y'all's two h fifty languages spoken in
Speaker 1: the capital city. So in the or in the country,
Speaker 1: I mean it's two fift just just in that country
Speaker 1: is two or fifty different languages. Well, what's the language
Speaker 1: of of Cameroon French? Nick, No, like this, the colonizes language.
Speaker 1: You have to remember this region wasn't always Muslim. There
Speaker 1: was plenty of tribal practices. There's there are religions that
Speaker 1: existed way before the prophet Muhammad, and there are villages
Speaker 1: and people who practice a lot of these, you know,
Speaker 1: sort of tribal traditions that really ain't got nothing to
Speaker 1: do with anything that you and I would identify as Arab.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, they don't even speak Arabic. Let me
Speaker 1: really blow your mind. The Taliban that's pastuned just from
Speaker 1: a whole other region. They're just that's a whole other
Speaker 1: tribal ethnicity, their past tune. Like I know, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you never thought of that. But unless well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you haven't thought of that. But
Speaker 1: let me remind you they're pastuned. You I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: it's a whole it's a whole other ship. You feel me,
Speaker 1: So if you're not. And look, they don't get long issis,
Speaker 1: they never had. They don't even practice the same type
Speaker 1: Islam like it's there. They're remarkably different, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's sixes, they trades. I guess all I'm trying to
Speaker 1: tell you is this place has such a long, deep
Speaker 1: and rich and diverse history that if you just coming.
Speaker 1: You just let America tell it, You just let our
Speaker 1: history books tell it. It's just all these the all
Speaker 1: these just the same people roam in the same desert.
Speaker 1: Like no, these people are very, very diverse. So I
Speaker 1: think it's important to remember that first, the views for
Speaker 1: which they see ways forward are just as diverse justice
Speaker 1: all over the place as ours are. You could, i mean,
Speaker 1: drop yourself into any place of America and be like,
Speaker 1: what's the best way to fix America? You ask ten people,
Speaker 1: gonna get ten different answers the same. It's like, we
Speaker 1: feel like, because of our lens that you can just
Speaker 1: paint them as one thing, and it's just not it's
Speaker 1: just not true. We just call these groups who are
Speaker 1: in fact extreme, you know, we'll say that, you know,
Speaker 1: depend on who you ask, but we just call them
Speaker 1: all one thing. There's an academic term for that. It's
Speaker 1: called a pan ethnic term. Like Asian you mean, I
Speaker 1: mean countries are in Asia, you mean different types of
Speaker 1: humans are in Asia, African. You have a looked at,
Speaker 1: looked in the face of a Somali an Ethiopian, and
Speaker 1: put that person's face next to a Nigerian. They don't
Speaker 1: look the same because it's the place is huge. Like
Speaker 1: I can't stress this enough. You gotta account for the diversity, right,
Speaker 1: So first let's back up there. This is a very
Speaker 1: diverse place, and everybody wasn't on board with everything, just
Speaker 1: like every neigga from South said within gang bang although
Speaker 1: those may have been our family, but we weren't all involved, right,
Speaker 1: and every crip gang don't get along just because they
Speaker 1: all it's not this you it's not the same. Now
Speaker 1: back specifically to our situation, all of these different regions
Speaker 1: have maybe similar, but very different relations with the West
Speaker 1: and with America. Saudi Arabia is not Iran, which is
Speaker 1: not Iraq, which is not Pakistan, which is not Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: which is not Syria. Like it's not which is not Lebanon,
Speaker 1: which is not Palestine. You know what I'm saying, Which
Speaker 1: means which is not Hamas, which is not Like it's
Speaker 1: not the same, you know. So it may seem it,
Speaker 1: but that's because nigga, we racist. Let me just keep
Speaker 1: let's just be real, like it's because we races. We
Speaker 1: ain't taking our time to understand that this is it's different,
Speaker 1: Like it's it's they're all different histories, right, So who
Speaker 1: specifically attacked America in nine eleven was al Qaeda. Well,
Speaker 1: Sama bin Laden was the head of al Qaeda. That's
Speaker 1: a very specific and particular group that had a very
Speaker 1: particular goal. All right, but now we're leaving Afghanistan and
Speaker 1: we're dealing with ISIS and the Talibania I SIS wouldn't
Speaker 1: need outside back then. They was paying attention, but they
Speaker 1: wouldn't e outside back then. So how did we get here? Well,
Speaker 1: let's get into the weeds. So nine eleven happens. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I don't know who. If you were old
Speaker 1: enough to remember it, most people know exactly where they
Speaker 1: were when they went down. I remember I was getting
Speaker 1: up for I was uh working at a middle school
Speaker 1: out in the city called Diamond Bar in greater Los
Speaker 1: Angeles areas. I think it's one of the last cities
Speaker 1: in the l A County anyway, pretty affluent area, and
Speaker 1: I remember I was about to get up for work
Speaker 1: and my dad you know, runs into the room like
Speaker 1: I was living with my thoughts at the time, um,
Speaker 1: and he was like, have you turned on the TV?
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, no, you guys just woke up.
Speaker 1: So I turned on the TV and I think like collectively.
Speaker 1: I saw the second plane, you know, fly into the
Speaker 1: twin towers, and obviously I've probably had the same reaction
Speaker 1: everybody else there where. I was like, yo, is this
Speaker 1: a movie? Is this a trailer? Like is this real?
Speaker 1: You know, so that first like this can't be real situation,
Speaker 1: and then it hits you like, oh my god, this
Speaker 1: is real. It actually happened, And I remember the eerie
Speaker 1: feeling of like for the next day or two, like
Speaker 1: no planes in the sky. Now, if you live in
Speaker 1: l a. It's like since anywhere near l A X
Speaker 1: you hear planes all the time, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: so you you know, it's such a normal to where
Speaker 1: it's like it's white noise. So it was super eerie
Speaker 1: once that sound in sight of planes just not flying
Speaker 1: in the air was like I was crazy, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I was glued to the TV like everybody else, you know,
Speaker 1: just like going crazy, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: the response of President Bush and everybody involved is one
Speaker 1: that anyone would expect to where it's like, oh, nigga,
Speaker 1: it's all like the name of your show, like all right,
Speaker 1: who did this? I'm coming for you, and all your homies.
Speaker 1: You know, they take one, we take five, like okay,
Speaker 1: nah homie. You know. And I've heard some military theory
Speaker 1: of having a unbalanced response to an attacked as a
Speaker 1: way to guarantee you don't get attacked again. Now, me
Speaker 1: as a civilian who was affiliated and just in the city,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and then left my old
Speaker 1: hood to grow up in this like Latino hood where
Speaker 1: I was with all these like all these vatos that
Speaker 1: actually kind of resonated with me in the sense that
Speaker 1: I need to lose my mind. I think we talked
Speaker 1: about it in the other You Ain't Gonna Do episode
Speaker 1: where it was like, if it's about to go down,
Speaker 1: I need to seem so crazy. Yeah, just to make
Speaker 1: y'all thing twice. You know what I'm saying, um to
Speaker 1: consider maybe not to do this. It's a deterrent. So
Speaker 1: you have to, like if this is the first time
Speaker 1: you fin a squad, first time you're finna get out,
Speaker 1: you need to like lose your mind on someone, just
Speaker 1: like something something wrong with you mentally, you have no
Speaker 1: regard for your own safety, go wild apes ship on somebody,
Speaker 1: and it's for the purpose of never having to do
Speaker 1: it again. Anybody like y'all been to the pen. You
Speaker 1: can talk to those who have where it's like, all right,
Speaker 1: you gotta I have to break someone's face with a plate.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We're just fighting. That's fighting
Speaker 1: is a part of It's a part of it, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So like, at least if you
Speaker 1: break somebody face, it will like buy you a few weeks,
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. The point is this, as a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, as a funny story, this was like
Speaker 1: this kind of theory, like I kind of sparked the
Speaker 1: whole idea of how I think about politics in the
Speaker 1: sense that I'm like, oh yeah, it kind of is
Speaker 1: just like what happened in um the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 1: What it like, what did we do in response? Uhhiroshima?
Speaker 1: Because like you know what I'm saying, like, oh, you
Speaker 1: do the atomic bombs. And some would argue maybe the
Speaker 1: wildness of that atomic bomb bought us sixty years of
Speaker 1: ain't nobody messing with us until nine eleven. That's just
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a theory I've heard before. But
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, that should make sense, you know,
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, you gotta go crazy. You gotta let
Speaker 1: these people know. Look I am not the one, okay,
Speaker 1: like don't don't, don't bring up, don't bring that heat
Speaker 1: over here. Not the one. I'm dangerous. I eat your children.
Speaker 1: That's Mike Tyson quote. So cool seeing how his evolution
Speaker 1: and how he's become just this like peaceful like guru
Speaker 1: of like it's like a delics and healing. I love it, dude,
Speaker 1: Mike Typson is so great. Shout out Future Roller. So
Speaker 1: not eleven happens our nation. It just tapped the collective
Speaker 1: testosterone in the mix of our grief. And and anybody
Speaker 1: who knows grief understands that, Like listen to dog like,
Speaker 1: don't make no decisions right now, like you just work
Speaker 1: it out, you know, do your thing. And I think
Speaker 1: Radio Lab like that podcast has a really dope story
Speaker 1: on the on on this particular thing about Senator barb
Speaker 1: Really you know what I'm saying, who basically like she
Speaker 1: went to the memorial and she heard the words of
Speaker 1: the of one of the clergyman that was that was
Speaker 1: doing the memorial service, and he basically said, like let
Speaker 1: us be careful not to become the very thing we abhore.
Speaker 1: And this is why she was like, yo, we can't
Speaker 1: do this because they were voting on the document I'm
Speaker 1: about to read to you. Yeah ready, okay, So the
Speaker 1: A U M F A you motherfucker. No, it's the
Speaker 1: Authorization for Use of Military Force. Is the document we
Speaker 1: use now to declare war. The last time we took
Speaker 1: the war up until that point was like World War Two.
Speaker 1: So one of the lawyers who had to do this
Speaker 1: had to like basically take the document from World War two,
Speaker 1: drop it into a word doc, change up some things
Speaker 1: to make sure us there because as you should know
Speaker 1: by now, only Congress has the right to declare war, right,
Speaker 1: But it's not like you walk in like you know,
Speaker 1: Michael scott in um, you know, back to Steve Carrell,
Speaker 1: Michael Scott in uh in the office being like I
Speaker 1: declare bankruptcy just stands in the middle and it's like, no,
Speaker 1: that's not what it means. But yeah, no, it's not
Speaker 1: like that, Like we have to officially because again, like
Speaker 1: we understand how dangerous we are and we need to
Speaker 1: have these safeguards because it's like we finished in our
Speaker 1: own people out here to do some shooting, right, So
Speaker 1: we need to have processes to make sure, like we really,
Speaker 1: is this really the move we want to make. You
Speaker 1: gotta be careful. You can't just be willy nearly out
Speaker 1: this mug. So here's where it gets ill. It's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a PDF, y'all. It's like, uh, I
Speaker 1: mean it's but I mean ya could google it, like
Speaker 1: it's just a regular PDF. And all of Congress had
Speaker 1: to agree or had to vote on it, and it
Speaker 1: was like unanimous minus one that we would do this, right.
Speaker 1: What was Senator barb Relies single objection to this And
Speaker 1: it was one section, just section two, and it reads
Speaker 1: in general. No, really, it says in general. I'm not paraphrasing.
Speaker 1: He says in general that the President is authorized to
Speaker 1: use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations and
Speaker 1: organizations or persons he determined planned, authorized, committed, or aided
Speaker 1: in the terrorist attacks occurred on September eleven two or harbord.
Speaker 1: Here's where it gets good or harbored such organizations or
Speaker 1: persons in order to prevent further attacks of international terrorism
Speaker 1: against the United States by such nations, organizations, or persons.
Speaker 1: I'm a hone in on the part that got us
Speaker 1: from al Qaeda to Taliban or harbored such organizations or persons,
Speaker 1: in order to prevent any further acts of international terrorism
Speaker 1: against the United States by such nations, organizations, or persons.
Speaker 1: What does this mean? This means that we don't got
Speaker 1: to name nobody. This means we don't have to name
Speaker 1: a location. This means if we even think you connected,
Speaker 1: we dump it. This is Kevin Hart leaving the smart
Speaker 1: Tech being like it don't fucking matter. I'm clapping everybody.
Speaker 1: If you with him, I'm clapping. This is also goes
Speaker 1: back to that theory I just said, which is to
Speaker 1: prevent any further acts and in the and in the
Speaker 1: and in the inner city terms, middle school, high school,
Speaker 1: prison yard, whatever the park held the woods. I think
Speaker 1: any toughest nails, you know, rust belt, Michigan steel worker,
Speaker 1: you get this in order to prevent any more aggressions
Speaker 1: towards me. I'm a wilder funk out like I'm a
Speaker 1: while out. You won't see you won't see these hands.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave one of y'all limping like, trust me,
Speaker 1: you're gonna remember this now according to the records, which
Speaker 1: I mean you could pull up the audio because it's
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's public record. Like so, then Senator
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, who did vote for this, don't let him
Speaker 1: say he didn't, he said, And it's because it's in
Speaker 1: the paperwork. Look, man, it has to do with who
Speaker 1: was connected to nine eleven. It's not like we're just
Speaker 1: gonna go out here shooting everywhere. It has to be
Speaker 1: who was connected to lem If you was connected to
Speaker 1: al Qaeda, like directly, then this is what this is about. Like, relax,
Speaker 1: We're not. It's not we're going to be in a
Speaker 1: war for another twenty years just shooting all over the place.
Speaker 1: H Uh, Yes, it is. Why because this thing is
Speaker 1: so vague, so broad, and so up to the interpreter
Speaker 1: that it just reminds me of when you're living in
Speaker 1: a neighborhood that just got green lit. They just shooting
Speaker 1: because they think you connected, They think y'all involved. Dog,
Speaker 1: we dropped bombs in Somalia. We was doing drone strikes
Speaker 1: all over the damn place everywhere. Why because of this
Speaker 1: one passage right here by any such nations, organizations, or powers,
Speaker 1: if you aid it or harbored such organizations or persons nigga,
Speaker 1: we get to shoot if we think you were part
Speaker 1: of it, if you help them. But look, you know
Speaker 1: what's not defined is what do you mean by help?
Speaker 1: What do you mean by connected? Now? How did you
Speaker 1: get to the Taliban? Well, we all know where we
Speaker 1: shouldn't know now that after nine eleven, that's where the
Speaker 1: Taliban gave Osama place to hide. He was hiding in Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: So they're okay, that's a direct connection. Like, oh, you're
Speaker 1: helping this nigga, All right, it's on right. You ever
Speaker 1: step back and say why are you helping him? Now?
Speaker 1: Y'all should do your real homework. As the difference between
Speaker 1: al Qaida and the Taliban, you should y'all should do
Speaker 1: your homework. But I think here's what's interesting. I think
Speaker 1: it's something to be said about when you have such
Speaker 1: an aggressor like that that like, even if al Qaida
Speaker 1: and the Taliban really ain't get along, you've our aggression
Speaker 1: made them. Let's just say it was some ship that
Speaker 1: none of us even knew about. That's like just happening
Speaker 1: over there. We don't know what's going on over there.
Speaker 1: And I'm going on record telling you right now because
Speaker 1: I noticed for a fact, you know that bombing that
Speaker 1: happened at that airport after you know of a few
Speaker 1: months ago, after after America left, I was isis isis
Speaker 1: don't get along with Taliban. You have to picture it
Speaker 1: like this, like if isis is isis is one hood,
Speaker 1: Taliban another hood. America was more like the cops where
Speaker 1: it was just like, well none of us like you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't get along. But now that you're gone, why
Speaker 1: the why the Taliban get to be up? We want
Speaker 1: to be up. We used to be up, y'all. Y'all
Speaker 1: when we was up, y'all came in here and destroyed us,
Speaker 1: just like they're destroying the Taliban. So I'm glad y'all gone.
Speaker 1: But this is our chance. We need to get our
Speaker 1: get back. I want to be up. Iis ain't even
Speaker 1: from Afghanistan. They from Syria and rock like, they're not
Speaker 1: even from there. That's their cousin's hood. Ices are here
Speaker 1: saying like they just that's another set. They're not even
Speaker 1: from that region. It's like, look, this shit is complicated.
Speaker 1: You can't just go over there shooting everybody feel different
Speaker 1: about everything. You just we're just done because we're like
Speaker 1: look Muslim and it's like they get no like they
Speaker 1: got they got theological differences just like Christians do. It's
Speaker 1: like it's not the same, yo. But look this little
Speaker 1: paragraph right here. That's how we was able to shoot
Speaker 1: at whatever we thought. And here's what was so crazy
Speaker 1: about this war. It was a war against an i idea.
Speaker 1: And you could say World War two was a war
Speaker 1: against an idea, right. You could say that World War
Speaker 1: two was a war against fascism, but we all know
Speaker 1: that was a I mean, that was Hitler, it was
Speaker 1: the Nazi regime. It was focused on in Germany, and
Speaker 1: you know what the alex you know what the access
Speaker 1: power was. In the same way as like, well, fuck
Speaker 1: you and your homies. If you're gonna click up, nigga,
Speaker 1: then you are enemy too. Now you are out. And
Speaker 1: in that situation a little different Americas like, look, nigga,
Speaker 1: who was minding our own business. We was trying our best,
Speaker 1: not just we was trying our best to stay out
Speaker 1: of this. But nigga, what's up now? I mean, you're
Speaker 1: just gonna shoot at us all right now? I'm gonna
Speaker 1: man of this. We say that was a war of
Speaker 1: an idea, but that was a little easier. It's a
Speaker 1: little easier xy wars. We say that was a war
Speaker 1: of an idea like during the Cold War, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: Korean War, Vietnam. Yeah, those those proxicy wards and talked
Speaker 1: about proxy wars before in this pod that they were
Speaker 1: more about who gets to be the Boston town, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But it was focused at a
Speaker 1: place like we it's in Vietnam. If you're just shooting
Speaker 1: at terrorism, who do you shoot at? You hadn't already
Speaker 1: got the guy? What you're still shooting at? Once you
Speaker 1: find the guy, ain't it done? No? Because we get
Speaker 1: to say, and your homies, I'm gonna wipe y'all all out.
Speaker 1: And then maybe we had a little change of heart
Speaker 1: because we realized there's a lot of there's a lot
Speaker 1: of carnage, and you just shooting randomly at different hood
Speaker 1: it's thinking they connected. You don't burnt the whole city down, burntday,
Speaker 1: whole country down. It's like America was like, my bad,
Speaker 1: I ain't mean to knock down y'all. Hole, sit here.
Speaker 1: Let me help y'all build this thing up so that
Speaker 1: ship don't happen again. Y'all can't keep messing. Don't be
Speaker 1: messing with these dudes, man, because if you're messing with them,
Speaker 1: we're coming back. Don't be messing with these foods. You
Speaker 1: don't know how to build no damn nation. They give
Speaker 1: y'all a little army like you don't. You don't know
Speaker 1: what you're doing. Y'all came over here just shooting. Do
Speaker 1: you feel like it don't don't work? Fam the the
Speaker 1: idea of it don't work. But that's all because you know,
Speaker 1: every last one of our elected officials, except for Ms.
Speaker 1: Bobbar Lee say now cause you don't get to just
Speaker 1: shoot at everything, like hold long? Ain't you that? No
Speaker 1: time out? And he thinks this thing through and you
Speaker 1: know she's still a congressman. It ain't hurt her, It
Speaker 1: ain't her her at all. She's still in Congress. Ain't
Speaker 1: that dope? Black women saved the day again, y'all. This
