Speaker 1

Did y'all play Big Bank Take Little Bank? Is that was that just the Cally thing or maybe a black people thing, hood thing. I don't know, because I don't know. My wife said her only reference was y G song Big Bank Take Little Bank, and I was like, yes, because it was a game we played as kids. Well, if you were stupid enough to actually agree to the to the game. But yeah, we're gonna use that game to help you understand something that seems like it really

shouldn't be in the news, but it is. Uh, America sold some submarines to Australia that probably won't be finished for another twenty years. Um. Somehow another this became a diplomacy, disaster hood politics. Y'all bank brand take you Little Bank, Take load Bank. Bran tag you little bank, take load Banker, Bryan tag you little bark very bank. Mind you all right, big bank taking Little Bank? Yo. I really liked um Big Sean's verse in that in that song. Um, anyway,

I'm off topic. So if you've never played Big Bank Take a Little Bank, or never even heard of anybody playing it, it's played exactly how it sounds. Somebody pulls out a lot of money and you go, oh, how much you got you wanna play big bank take little bank? And usually if somebody asked that, that means that they probably have more money in their pocket than you do. So what the game is. It's real stupid. You pull out your money, you count the money that's in your pocket.

The other person pulls out their money, count how money in their pocket, and the person who already has the most money gets to take the money of the person with a little bit of money. So no one ever actually agrees to play. You know what I'm saying, because you go, you're gonna lose a little fine outlets you got your pocket, right unless you know what I'm saying. You know, you got a hundred dollars, you know you

gotta water a big bill on the bottom. That's another little thing you do when you got your little money. Will you keep the small bills on the outside, you know, and the big bills on the inside just in case you know, another little, another little street hack that has nothing to do with what I'm about to talk about. Let me just explain this to you. Keep everything in separate pockets. So if you got cash, you don't put your cash in your wallet. You put your cash in

a pocket. But then you separate those pockets as to which bills are in what pockets, so you know, keep a few bills in one pocket, keep another bill another pocket. So then when you're about to get robbed and his food's like y'all entered the pockets, you pull out. Look that's all I got. You just pull out the water cash. And that's the only watch you have. But that's because you got another watch somewhere else in another pocket. So yeah, don't carry all your credit cards with you, just keep

a few at home. Another one of those things you do. Also, if you're not with the ships, you wouldn't have no weapon on you. But one thing you can have is a key on your key ring that doesn't actually open something, you know, and you put it in between your fingers just in case you gotta swing at somebody you know you're now you're hitting them with the key. Uh. And then if the key don't actually open nothing in your house,

then you got a good alibi. I'm sorry, y'all, I shouldn't be telling you all this stuff, but this is just good stuff. Anyway, big bank take a little bank. You shouldn't ever actually agree to play this game. But if you do, you end up. If you ain't, if you're a small bank, end up losing. It's pretty cruel system. And it's a system that actual banks play, which is what makes it even more cruel. And it's also a game I think nations play. Why do I say that? Now?

In the news there's this whole scenario where France got their feelings hurt. And this is one of those interesting stories to me that if I wasn't tapped in on stuff like this, I would be really confused as to why it's news and why do we even care about this scenario. So let me lay it out for you. America in the UK got together with Australia and India to make this deal to slang these submarines now the nuclear power submarines, and they slanging them to Australia. Now

they're not gonna get them like tomorrow. It's gonna take like twenty years for us to make these things. It seems like it's nothing. I mean, it's just yeah, whatever, you you you you know you. Australia was in the was in the market for some new for some new tools, you know what I'm saying, And fools bid sell them, some sell them them things. You know what I'm saying, Like I got it. I'm your boy. You feel me like I'm your plug, I'm your connect. I'm just gonna

I'm gonna hook it up. You feel me I got the better ones you can buy from whoever you want. I just think I think we got it, like we got it though we got it on the low. You you you feel me like I'm whatever, I'm the connect. It shouldn't be news because we do it all the time, which is actually problematic to you know that we'd be selling weapons like there's across schedule, but you understand how much money there is to be made in selling killing machines to other countries. I mean, this is a lot

of money. To me, we should probably be up. The military industrial complex is definitely a topic of the politics we have to come back to. I think I've said this before, but we absolutely have to come back to this. But it shouldn't be a big deal. We okay, big whip, we sold We're selling some some some things to Australia. But then it turns into a novella for a second here,

because Australia already had a deal. They had a deal with France, and France has been working this angle, been trying to hit this lick for a long time to sell these submarines to Australia. This still shouldn't be news because I mean, it's just they went to the best bidder. But it gets a little little little wrinkled because France looking at the US and the UK like, dog, we homies, how you feeling? Like why are you messing up my bag? You could sell anywhere you Why are you messing up

my bag? Homie? Dog, We've been working this for a long time. He's gonna come over here like y'all got licks all over the world. Why you come mess with ours? Man? Which at this time still shouldn't be news because hell we shady like that? Did you? Like? That happen all the time? Kick Roxing died daily. Big banktake little bank,

people do it all the time. But France took this mug super personal and was like you're just gonna you're just gonna sunk up our money like this, and and with the UK, and they're looking at the UK like you used to be used to be homies too, like you wanted to get jumped out the set, like they left the EU. You feel me, so you're jumping out the set and then you feel a click up with our oldest ally and then France looking at the US like you remember who was on your side when you

wanted to leave the UK? You try to leave the crown. Guess who helped fight for your freedom? Oh? You you you didn't forgot? Like I'm going all the way back to the Revolutionary War, you know what I'm saying, Like America's oldest ally oldest it's France and they like this, this is what you're gonna do that there's this, this, this, this, that's how you feel, hommy. What sucks about the game Big banktake Little banks is always played among homies like

we just we all friends, y'all. Your homeboy just gonna just gonna take your money like that, Like come on, man, I mean, are you gonna buy me ice cream after you didn't took my money? Like what I'm gonna eat for lunch? You got me covered for lunch. You just really feeling like, dang, that's messed up, babe. Let's just say it. What money. Let's just say it was it was a young suitor. You feel like, you know he's like your oh boy, No, you like uh, you like

uh Yolanda. You know what I'm saying, Like, you know you're into Yolanda? You feel me? I think you know, you know, you know I like her. And he's just been a slide in and I said, and I messed around. Look at your Instagram? You out with her right now? Like, where are you just gonna damn Nigga's like that? You just feel like Swooper. It's like, well, I mean, yeah, it is, so I'm gonna be like you think, I'm

not gonna be salty cat. You feel me now? Still even with all that, I still don't understand why it's news. Well let's talk about why it's news. I'm gonna throw an ad break right here, because now I have a feel that's to where Matt usually throws the ad breaks, because they come in after I'm done making this. If you haven't figured that out yet, that's the sausage. All right, load take you little park, take load, bark tag you little park, ta load tag little park. Very mind m

m Okay, we're back. And as a reminder, you know, I have no idea what these ads are. And a lot of times y'all all getting different ads based on your regions because your phones be listening to you, so I don't know what the hell that you've got, and I apologize. If it's trash, I will hit up Sophie and be like like I did last time when we got a dieting add some sort of c hp ad, I was like, uh yeah, we gotta turn the mugs off,

and they did. All right, back to the topic. There's something beautiful about this particular topic because it's again shows that the education that street life or having to avoid street life get you, and how you can use that later. It's the whole premise of hood politics. This is it

right here. You look at this situation, America jumps into a deal, uh with India and Australia to sell them some things, even though they Homies was already making this deal and was pretty far down the line with this Homies that you already know you're bigger and battered in that you already you already running a block. You already like, we don't need this, but it'd be a good look for France. This would really help the world take France a lot more serious. And you slid in and did this.

What you know is this. You're looking at a move like that. If avat to make a move like that, if a hood make a move like that, then you know this that it ain't got nothing to do with the money. They got nothing to do with the money. It really ain't got nothing to do with Australia either, and it ain't got nothing to do with the submarines. The ain't got nothing to do with all that. You would know it is a power move. This got to do with power and its power, not even with Australia

is power, of course with France. Just to remind you, like, don't you ever get it twisted? We run things, things, don't run the weed. Don't you ever get it twisted on me? Don't you ever ever have it in your life? Think about getting froggy. You need to remember your place. We're cool and all. Let's remember who the big stepper is. You feel me who the big stepper? But it ain't got to do with Australia because your son in Australia too, Like, oh you still need to you can't make your own

you still bay, It's all good. We got you. I remember who the big dog is. On the other side of the country, this area the other side of the world. This area is called the Indo Pacific because it's the Pacific Ocean near India. Well not the Pacific Ocean, well part of the Pacific Ocean, Indo, Pacific, Indian and Pacific oceans over over there, right, So France ain't no big player, Australia ain't no big player. Who the big player over there?

Usual Antennas, we're talking hood stuff. Who the big player in that region? Naked China? He they got noth do with nobody except China, homie, because China out there making moves. This ain't got nother do with nobody else except for flexing on China. I said, I saw when I first saw. Then it turns out that's exactly what it was. These countries have had meetings, and it's so funny to see this happen when you see all these diplomats got together from India, Australia, the UK, and the US. They even

they didn't name the set. It's called August A U, K U S you follow me. So they didn't got together and they started discussing the issue of China, the China issue, China getting way too powerful, trying to make away too much money where somebody need to remind China who really run these oceans, who really run these streets? Right?

And if China getting froggy, China probably gonna bust at the people closest to them, and the people closest to him is India in Australia, Australia only as white people on that part of the planet. You're stand I'm saying, right, it's a situation happening over the here, right that they I don't know if y'all ever thought about that. If you look at your map, the only white people in

that area is Australia. Everybody else brown as hell, then you better get you some guts, You better get you some weapons, whole boy, because if you trying to decide, all right, we're tired of y'all, and are we're tired of y'all and are atmosphere you feel me like, look, guess who going first? And and the only other competition they got by the sheer numbers is India. It's just so many of them, and of course North Korea because you know they wild. You never know what they got

in their pocket. But yeah, yeah, and stand I'm saying so like, if they decided all right, Look, look, look we want to smoke. You got some issues, So it's about this mug about China. Now, let me tell the story from each from each player's perspective here and y'all follow y'all news and you tell me if I'm bugging or not. So first let's tell it from France's perspective. If you France, you already feel like you've been dissed by the UK for leaving the EU. You don't left

the hood you like you asked. You asked to get taken taken off the set. You got jumped out to set, you know. And if you France, you're hoping you like you know what I'm saying, you ain't gonna never find no lover as good as us. You feel me, you're hoping that like you're hoping, don't nothing work out for you. No, you don't left the block, so you're hoping they lose. Right, But the last thing you would expect is for this food who just dissed you to click up with your

day ones. You know what I'm talking about, y'all. All this homies in the in the in the United States, So you're looking at both of y'all like you motherfucker right if you France, You've been working this deal for a long time because you need the EU to be taken serious. I need you all to start respecting our gangster out here. You feel me we was more than just we was more than just the UK and the rest of us. You know what I'm saying, Like, Look, no, we you know we we were big bad, were big bad,

big steppers too. You feel me like, no, like treat you know, keep it real, homie. Now, now, Kim, France really produced submarines that are nuclear powered? Really out of that good? I mean, I don't know, you know what I'm saying, Like when the last time you heard about France's naval strength, you don't like, I don't know, I don't know if they could really do it. That's not the point. The point was, Listen, we big steppers, take us serious and we know it's a new play down

there in the Indo Pacific. Somebody needs to go lock this ship down. They've been reading Da've been reading this. They've been reading the t leads for a while to know that like Yo, China, China not playing homie. China out there, chininga out there getting there as we need to make sure we're down there. We gotta hear we got you know what I'm saying, it's it's too much, too much money to be made down there. It's it's to this to look, somebody gotta get down there and

you know, run that table. And France has been looking at this for a while. All of a sudden, I mean you didn't look look, look, no, no, you didn't sent the paperwork you're talking about, y'all, y'all, y'allda, y'all, and sent the invoice for the deposit. You feel me. We didn't sent the homies down there. We didn't have our sit downs, we didn't negotiated this ship my nigger, like we'd have done all the steps were supposed to do.

And then all of a sudden, look, look, look, do you know if Fred said, Fred said, we found out the day the rest of the world found out. We didn't know. We found out the same day the press conference happened that we lost this deal. We found out in front of everybody. Can you imagine? Can you imagine that you've been working something for this long? So you France, you like, what in the actual the hell is going on?

And then the find out. It would be different if it was one of your ops, right, if it was one of your ops that like slid in and did and did that to you, nigga, it was the homie big bank, take a little bank, Nick, and you got played like why really you had to come really you

had to come, bess with this. France was like, you know what, man, call y'all France holiday at all of his all their homies, all the all the cancel, it's all the ambassadors that was in the Americans in the UK was like, look, nig y'all come home dis some bullshit. I can't believe you could have at least called me man, y'all could have called me homie, like let me know to play, Like, at least you could have let me

know to play. If you didn't let me know the play, you feel me this probably we probably could have worked this a little better. I may have even fell back if you let me know to play. You won't even let me know to play. At least, Look, I'm gonna push y'all at least Macrawn and them at like, at least what Trump we knew what we was dealing with. Oh man, are Biden smiling? You ace. That's the difference. See that. Look, Look, look what I tell you. A

gangster is a gangsters. A gangster a murder killers the killers a killer. You feel me whether they're smiling or they're rude. You know how I know? Because are we still in the same border crisis? Are we still having a border crisis? Biden just nice niked like, no, Look, if you're friends, you're like, I can't believe just y'all just slipt like you don't even let me know to play. And then you fast forward a few days and mccron and and Biden actually got on the phone call said

that Biden called him. It was like, look, homie, you know, will know exactly what happened. But apparently he was able to smooth it out. You know, it's just a smooth talker. He's basically be like, look, man like, look, I don't need no shade, I don't mean no harm. We still buddies, were still family. I still love you, you you know what I'm saying. I wonder what else he said, which I personally feel like he said in a very nice way. Oh it's pamping, pamping, you know what I'm saying, Get

your weight up. In the nightest, nicest way. That's probably what he said to him, Like, get your weight up, Nikki. You know what I'm saying. You trying to run with the big dogs on me. You ain't outside like this. I mean, I feel like that's what he said, just in a nice way. Now, if you the UK, you like man fun friends, we make moves because we make moves. This move made the most sense. Shit, you you're looking at you're looking at America like you know, don't don't

forget nigga. We we birthed you. Oh yeah, you didn't fat for your man's patient, Nike, but we berthed you. You you you ain't nothing but a set of our gang. Don't don't don't ever, don't do everything no different. I know you got a little money on you, nigga. We you know when we brought you. We need in on this leg. Let's let's let's let's go, let's go do this because you remember Australia that we birthed them too. Damn that little teeny island we out here. Now check

this out. If you China, you're watching all this happened, you like, oh, they're scared. If you try to you kind of like it. If you're China, you're like, oh, Nick, Nick is taking us it. They're scared on me. They don't know what we got. Oh we got him now, look at him scrambling. Look at them down. If you're China, you're kind of excited about this ship. You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, y'all, y'all have y'all little meetings, y'all, we gotta run and

look at it. Look at it. Look at it. They fighting among each other. If you try to, you laugh, and you like, look at him fighting them. You look at it. Look they're trying to set their shop up. Look at y'all. Don't even know what we got. We got them nervous, Hey, we got them scared on me. You're scared. Go to church, y'all saying, like my dad just said. We was playing dominoes. My daddy was playing dominoes and I'll get nervous. He would be like, you're scared,

called the police. I was like, God damn it that my dad was that good at dominoes. Anyway, You China, you're like, yo, it's cool to me. Now. If you're the US again, this is a power move. All you're thinking about is you've been a top dog for as long as you can remember, and it feels weird the idea that it might not last forever. It may not always be like this. We are as a nation were pretty much toddlers or maybe preteens, just in the amount of time, the amount amount of time we've been a nation.

You know, we just happened to, like on some Baby Huey styles, just grow real fast, real strong, real quick off slave labor. Let's let's not let's not act like that's not how we got here. But you all the ship you've been talking for the last so many years, we just took this major l coming out of Afghanistan, Like, let's not front like, that's not an l. But when you come out of an active war zone, you know

there's a lot of um. Although we've been spending a lot of money, there's actually a lot of loss of revenue there too, because again, war is actually very lucrative. You should read war as a racket wars wars actually very lucrative. So that meant that, like there's a lot of a lot of contracts we can't we can't complete no more because we don't need I don't need new tanks built because we're not in an active war suddenly, just and I've been this war been paying a lot

of industry to a lot of people. We we need to keep this, We need to keep these people happy. Kind of need another thing. And we can hire y'all for y'all good at nuclear Listen, Machinery is machinery. Industry is the industry. It's a lot of money to be made in industry. And if the US government ain't paying out these contracts, these deals like they used to, well, if you're an industry, you're just gonna go to another country. He will pay for it in America. Can't have that.

Oh about me. I'm just saying it's look just you get looked. It's numerous ways that earned funds. And also again China is not playing. You know a lot of the stuff that weird stuff that uh Trump was talking about, Like when when clearly the Russians were happen us, it was like it could be China. The thing is like, why that was not as off the wall as it may seem. It's because like China is not playing. China

out here making making real moves. So it's it's fair to be like nikky y'all need to watch out, and they don't. They don't play by the same rules as us. It's different. They got a whole other culture they got, they got a different code. They don't. They don't play by us. They don't play the same game we play, you know. So so so if you're America, you're like, I need to stay the top dog. You already, like I'm pushing down on all these fronts. You know what

I'm saying. I'm pushing down Middle Eastern stuff. I'm pushing down Russia, you know what I'm saying. Like you notice, like Russia ain't in the news like they used to be. It's not like we're still not fighting with these niggas, but like we were able to push these push that ship down and make sure that that's happening real quiet, while we deal with this China ship, while we get this, while we're fueling our economy with these UH with these

military UH contracts. If you will, keeping making this money while at the same time reminding the world, like who the funk the boss is? Right? We have the streets needed. Sometimes the streets need a reminder. It seemed to me. Now if you are Australia. Oh bro, you're sitting lovely because of your location. Fam, are you straight? Bro? Like? All you gotta do is be like looks make me the best offer? No hard feelings. Friends, We love y'all.

Well we'll come back later, don't trip. We're still good. Hey listen, man, look they gave they gave us, They gave us an offer we can't refuse. And you think give you Australia. You don't know what the hell Frands trying to do? You think you don't you think they don't know what America trying to do? You think you think Australia ain't set back and say, okay, who who if it comes down to it, if it comes down to it, who's gonna come out here and start dumping

for us if we need it? Who like dumping? Who? Who just likes shooting? Who got? Who got? Who got? Who got army? To spare right now? Because apparently you don't send it? Turn him home? Who needs to win? You? You feel me? Who need to look good? Oh you think Australia ain't dumb? They playing they saying they playing the same game we're playing. But if you if you were smoothing enough talker, which this is what Joe trying

to sell himself as he is smoothing up talker. He could pull up to France, pull up all this and you know what I'm saying, and like, you can't make we clearly can't make our own congress work. Do you know our old legislative branch that just is in shambles. He can't make his own party agree to something. But I tell you what, though, I can land us a trillion dollar deal, my nigga, you feel me, I can piss off ally and at the same time smove it out at the same time. Man well, manual many but

kroll man he Hey, we're good homie. Listen, big bank take a little bang. Now, what does that mean to us? All this? That's so, that's why it's in the news. It's in the news because of a future play and the future players China. It's trying to run that part of the world, the Indo Pacific, like we said, But what does that have to do with us? Well, I know that George Floyd acts still ain't been passed. I know nobody doing nothing about police brutalogy. I know that much.

And I know that we need to consider the plays that were made. When it comes to the elections, we need to consider the place to be like, all right, um, we look at this play that he's doing. Can you say that, like, this was a good play? Can you? And I'm putting it on you because you're the voter, is do you think this was a good play? Use your ancentenves you know, was this a good play? Are

we setting ourselves up for later? In my am I am I shooting myself in the foot in the sense that like I'm not getting back the things that I asked for when I either voted or didn't vote for you know, this particular administration, you know what I'm saying, And the elected officials inside of our house, the representatives and Senate legislative brands, like, am I getting what I asked for? Do I think this move ultimately it's gonna help?

Because here's another question. You land a deal that you probably don't have to turn these things in for twenty years. It's like you may get it. You may get a job out of that. You know what I'm saying. Somebody gotta somebody gotta make the the pipes. You feel me that going to a submarine. Somebody gotta make it. That might be your job. You may you may land a job. You may do the jobs you know, building the sonar things. I don't know. This may equal direct work for you.

I'm just asking you at what costs. Maybe this is a new job for you. But like if you're black and brown, that's a new job. Maybe built in the facility in a gentrified area that now you might you might have gotten priced out of your own hood. I don't know. I'm just saying you got to think about all these things. You feel me all because America played big bank. Take a look bank with France, and now we building submarines still out here selling guns. Ain't that

some ship? You realize that that's really all we do. It is just selling guns. Politics is pretty good, y'all. Y'all.
