The Global Hood Part 2

mostly Africa, in a little bit in Brazil. You know where the world's gold comes from, mostly Canada and Russia, but really Peru, New Or most of the world's drugs come from Central in South America. You know where the world's coffee comes from. It only grows at the equator, in between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropica Capricorn. Now y'all know who live at the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. You know, coffee has its own stock market. It's called the c market. Like it's it's one of

the largest commodities really in the world. You know how cocaine and crack got to our streets because Reagan was afraid of the spread of communism. Yeah, let's see, I ran conscious scandal because he backed the rebel force with some money. He wasn't supposed to have that he got from selling weapons he wasn't supposed to sell in the first place by negotiating with folks he wasn't supposed to

be messing with anyway, which needs its own episode. One would think that if you are the plug, if you are the source and the workers for which pull the source out and sell it to the world, one would think you'd be sitting pretty lovely. How come in they like that, though? Why these regions that we get most of our stuff from stay in turmoil? Why are people leaving in droves Central America? Like? Is it really that bad? How did they even get like this? Is this some

wild stuff going on in their hoods? Absolutely? Are they we mis corrupt? Absolutely? But yo, soul is ours, you know what I'm saying. But why does it feel like somehow they corrupt, somehow worse than our corrupt? Are we just we just natural? We're just racist? Like what it just seemed like just some really going down south for

the equator And this affects you directly. You may not think so, you may not be able to see it off top, but like you have no idea how much other countries success have to do with your own but dang man, earth, what's really good? That's a good question and super low key. Don't it kind of sound like pop culture, jazz, hip hop, working class, you know, essential workers.

It seemed like logging factories called industry. Don't it kind of seemed like all the areas that provide most of America with their comfort, most of America with their dances and they music, we don't seem to be able to ever really get hours together. Let me talk to you about the global hood. Politics. Politics. So this is a pretty heavy episode. I'm not gonna I ain't gonna cat like this was really heavy because it's just gonna take

a lot to unpack. And again, like we said, an episode one, people have given their life's work to understanding the way that the modern nation state interacts with each other across the globe. You know, just global politics is. It's a lot because it's way too many moving parts. And I don't know what possessed me to take on this topic. Actually I do know what possessed me take this topic. It was the COVID response, according to the Human Rights Watch dot org. I'll put all the links

in all this. I'm gonna quote this the vaccine rollout around the globe has been right with inequality. According to the research by the agents of France Press A right in high income nations such as the United States and members of the European Union have been getting much more than their fair share of vaccine doses, despite making up only of the global population. People in high income nations have gotten forty seven percent of all the vaccine doses.

That's in contrast to people in lower income nations, who have just got point two percent of all vaccine doses despite making up nine percent of the world's population. More than a billion doses of coronavirus vaccines have been administrated worldwide less than five months after the first mass inoculation programs began to roll out. According to the AFP tally, at least one billion, two million, nine hundred and thirty eight thousand, five hundred and forty dose have been administrated

in two hundred and seven countries and territories. According to the tally compiled from official sources, more than half fifty percent have been given to three countries. Listen to me, more than half have been given to three countries United States, China, and India. But check this out some countries. There's twelve

of them. They haven't even started vaccinating. Seven in Africa, Tanzania, Madagastar, Chad, Burundi, Central Africa, republic A, Turia, Man, there's in Samoa, uh there's one in Asia and Haiti haven't even started vaccinating despite the troubles that have now quoting again, despite the troubles that have plagued it since it was approved for use.

The vaccine, developed by Astra Zeneca and Oxford University, is the most widely used so far and has been administrated in three quarters of hundred and fifty six countries and territories who have started vaccinating. Now. In terms of proportion to population of who have been vaccinated, Israel is in the league, nearly six out of every ten Israeli's is

fully inoculated. That's followed by the United Arab Emirates with more than fifty one percent of the population that has received at least one, Britain with US with forty two, Chile with forty one, Uruguay with and in the EU eight million doses have been administrated to of the population, while majority of poor countries have also started the vaccine,

mainly thanks to the Kovacs program. Inoculation is still largely a privilege of high income countries as defined by the World Bank, which are home of six percent of the world's population but have administered forties seven percent of the vaccine doses. Now, all these numbers should seem pretty like well, I mean, well, damn man, we bought it. You feel me like, uh, we got the money for it, That's why we got it. I mean, it just seems it should seem like a one to one, right, Well, we

had we can afford more, so we got more. However, if you do it by relation of population, it's like, well, we got more than we need. Now, when the G seven got together in their defense, Biden agreed to buy fifty million doses to give to poor countries except for Venezuela because they under exceptions. They are they under us sanctions, n like, can you believe us, We're gonna buy it,

but give it to you, but not y'all. But like this, look, this is wild and if anybody give to them, you gotta deal with us, because like they on day on the ship list right now, like god dog. But the thing is, why can't the rest of the world afford it? And the Why is what sparked this whole two part episode like why man? How sway? How is the world's richest one percent owned forty three point four percent of the world's wealth? How? How did we even get here? Like?

What is? Do you kind of get the feeling in the same way you look around? Are any cities and say, is this? Did y'all do this all purpose? Is that? Do you have some sort of is it is this? Do this kind of feel like same ease to y'all? Why is there a border crisis? What the hell going on in Central America that y'all can't ever get your ship together? Is that really the case they can't get

their shipped together? Is that really what's going on? You ever heard of the Northern Triangle El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. This whole migrant caravan? What the hell is a What the hell is a border crisis? What we got to do with it? While we got to answer this as Americans? How did they even get there? Venezuela, Colombia? Like what? Why? And what I'm gonna submit to you is it's a very similar reason, maybe not a one to one, but a very similar reason as to why our hoods look

the way they look. Okay, have you ever heard of the word or the phrase third world country? We don't use it no more because it's kind of like we've just evolved past that phrase. But it's a line that came from the Cold War. Uh. We would consider the G seven nations, including ourselves, as first world, which is so lame. They would call Russia somebody like the second world to where it's like yah kind of middle class and in everybody to f else is third world Now.

I'm a quote from the University of Virginia the Global South Studies uh it says what or where is the global South. The global South as a critical concept has

three primary definitions. First, it has been traditionally used within inter governmental development organizations, primarily those that originated in the Non Aligned movement, to refer to economically disadvantaged NASON states as a post code war alternative to third World However, in recent years, within a variety of fields, the global South is employed in a post national sense to address spaces and people negatively impacted by the contemporary capitalist globalization.

In the second definition, the global South captures uh D territorialized geography of capitalism's externalities and means to account for the subjugated people's within borders of wealthier countries, such that there are economic souths in the geographic north and north in the geographic south. Y'all get that right. What they're saying is rich countries have hoods, and hood countries got rich folks, and the epitaph global is used to unhinge the South from a one to one relation to geography.

In other words, what they're trying to say is, this is the idea of the global haves and have not. It's the idea that when you look at how capitalism functions globally, who gets to work with who, who got the lick, who got the bag, who got the sack? Who you selling to how it's working? And then who are the foot soldiers that make that happen, who's providing the product? Right? That's what a capitalism externality is. It's you don't get to sit at the table and negotiate

with the bosses. You just get to go be a foot soldier. And like they said, it's not necessarily geographical per se, But it started off as the idea of such y'all following me. For example, South Africa is actually a rather wealthy country and it's in the south, but it also has remarkable amount of people you would consider

part of the global South. Following me. Now, it don't take no rocket science to understand that those with extreme wealth have opten accumulated their fortunes on the backs of people around the world who work for poor wages under dangerous conditions. Right, so the wealth divide is not one that's like, Okay, this is not this ain't hard for none of y'all. Y'all understand this. But I'd love to step back and say, again, how do we even get here?

And the way I want to talk about how we even got here is to just sort of drop a pin in specifically Central America and talk about the idea of destabilizing the nation. But the only way to understand that is you have to understand global colonialism going all the way back to sevent hundreds. The best way to understand this is the game of thrones that Europe, the game of empire has Europe been playing since the Roman Empire.

It's the world been playing a game of thrones for a long time, pre the development of what we consider, you know, modern nation states. The greatest lick to ever hit. Listen, hear me hood, The greatest lique is land. That's the hardest lick you could hit, because I ain't making no more earth. Now. You might be, uh, some sort of volcano in the middle of an ocean that's sprouting out new magma and growing new earth. Yeah, okay, you got me,

the air geologists. But that's somebody probably already owned that. Ain't that crazy? Somebody already owned earth that ain't been made yet. Greatest lique in the world is land because everything that comes with the land belong to you. Now. The hard part is finding land that ain't nobody on and if the land that they own, if they are there, I gotta overpower them and take it for myself. This game of thrones dog, and it's been going on for a long time, but I'm gonna drop a pin into

fourteen fifteen sixteen hundreds talk about Portugal. This is post like we talked about doctoring a discovery where you're supposed to go expand the kingdoms for the Catholic Church, subdue the nation's make disciples of all men. Just this weird convolution of a faith that some of us hold dear into this freaking conquering, war mongering, selfish empire building ship that plex us to this day anyway, that was quite a tangent because I just don't come from that tradition.

We're talking about this and introduced myself. I don't come from that tradition. So it's just but it just sucks because that tradition loud and wrong anyway, um, and I'm using the term tradition rather than the person because that's not what we're talking about. But again another tangent. Portugal got down to Africa, North Africa for the intensive history. They were the first of the European nations to attempt

to try to uh colonize Africa. They were interested in the salt, Yeah, they were interested in the culture of the arts and and a lot of the cultural exchanges between Africa and Europe at first was are you look at some old uh some of the Renaissance painters, and you could see the North African influence, um, West African influence also on patterns and abstractions, because Africa have been

really good at art for a long time. And then somebody discovered naked gold, naked diamonds, and the most lucrative of all free labor. And remember if you already have this idea that the people for which you're working with aren't necessarily people in their mind, they were clearly uncivilized, like y'all still y'all still hunter gatherers, nigga, y'all still y'all still hunt animals they held wrong with you, build

offense and put them in defense. You know, when you when you you have these interactions, there's these like amazing stories which are super interesting about like just the the the mental capacity and understanding. When you had these post Renaissance, you know, high European civilizations come in contact with people's of other places that just didn't see the world the way they saw the world. How like confusing it was

to both parties because check this out. The European thought was like, the land is to do what I tell it to. It's the animals are subjugated to us. So what the hell you doing chasing around a buffalo? What you know what I'm said it there's like why, why why we used to do that? We don't anymore, therefore

you're behind us. That was the idea. There's a story from some of the first settlers into the America's you know, obviously that the narrative of like, oh yeah, they taught him how to you know, grow corn, and obviously that's stupid, right, But there are stories where these you know, certain families interacted with other native families and it was like all right, okay, well let's first of all, I don't understand why you still why you're still hunting, but whatever. And then they

was like okay, we're gonna go get some vegetables. And then the Europeans was like where and it was like in the garden and there was like niggadasso forest, what the hell you mean garden? Right? And then the natives would go out into the garden what looked to the European as so not organized. They was like, no, we grow our crops in rows, the corn strawberries, Like what are y'all doing? The natives were like, well, no, you see this corn right here. Around that is that wild grass,

and under that are are some wild strawberries. I'm pulling the fruits out of nowhere. But like, just follow the story because it's kind of like how some of these interactions worked. It was like, well, what the natives that figured out because they've been there forever is that the strawberries bring in animals that would eat their crops, so they would smell that, they would eat the wild grass, get sick, and then learn that you ain't post to

mess with this plant. And that's how they would protect their corn. They use earth to protect earth. To the Europeans, they don't make no sense. That's why they was building up pesticides and drawing fences and that because you didn't let the land just do what it does. So they were just a fundamental misunderstanding of how both of this ship works right, And to the conclusion of the European settler was like, oh what they primitive in they mind.

They're like, yo, you're still sacrificing children and animals to the gods for you know, crops, seeing themselves it's so advanced. Meanwhile, they still ain't got a sewage system back in their country and just disease running rapid because all you're doing is just throwing trash out the window. Y'all gotta look up the great uh stink of London. You know, you know you ain't advances that you think you are. They was like, oh, yeah, we you know, we're enlightened. We

know not to do that. So they was like, all right, well, you know, maybe we can civilize them. And that's the the white man's burden. I talked about it in the first maybe we could civilize them these uh you know there's justin the news, uh in Canada, this grave from the Indian schools. Was this idea that they would have like kill the Indians, save the man. It's the idea of just essentially just like wiping them up. So you send them to these schools to make them more civilized.

Right then they found out what the natives like. Yo, nigga, they're not They're not gonna work. They're not gonna do this. Niggas fight back. Go check out a little big horn, you know what I'm talking about. But another amazing resource was the African slave. So you just take them everywhere that your empire goes, because again, the slave was a means to an end. The end was the land, and the slave was just a beast of burden. That's the

way they see us. We're just beast of burden to subdue to actual lique, which was the land and all the resources that come out of it. Intracentral in South America, nigga sugar. Europe got hooked because, like listen, Europe was like, what is this? But it only grew over here in the America's. It's too cold in Europe, so we need all the land we can to grow this product. So you start colonizing up and down the America's because it's a lick. But you need somebody to work this land.

And that's where the slaves came in. So you started working all this land on this other side of thing. Because again it's the idea that like the land is the lick, the slave is the cattle. A matter of fact, they called us chattel. Now think about gentrification. The lands the lick. You understand what I'm saying. You see them billboard jelling cash for homes, gentrified, baby gentrified. The land is the lick. Now, I just gave y'all not enough information for to really do this justice. But I gotta

move on because it's only a thirty minute pot. Now into the Cold War. The Cold War is where it gets super psycho because remember the Cold War, proxy wars, all that stuff had really nothing to do with the people and the lands for which the wars were playing out. It was at all times a pissing contest. It was an idea war. The war was what they would say, freedom and democracy versus communism in Russia. At the end

of the day, it was a pissing contest. You was trying to figure out who's gonna be top of it, who's king of the hill, whose ideas work, and ultimately who get to run the table. Let's just look who gonna run the table? Is the point? Y'all? Know? The space race, the race to the race to get on the moon, and has shipped to do with science or the moon. Nigga, It was a flex. It's so obvious if you pull back and think about it. Nigga, it wasn't about getting to space. It was about I can

make bombs. You're flexing your technology if I can get on the moon. What you think I could do if I if you ever try to throw a bomb at us, it's nuclear. You were showing your guns. I saw they were doing. We're just trying to flex on Russia. That's it. It's a X. As a matter of fact, let me even put you even further. You know, the COVID response a flex. This mug is bragging rights, follow me, totalitarian authoritarian rules versus Western democracies. Who gonna get to the

solution first. It's a flex because it's all still these are just modern games of thrones, that's all they are. Now back to the Cold War, you know, North Korea, South Korea just as a perfect example of this. That's because at some point Russia decided, Russian America decided to go haves on Korea right, and they would back Russia wood back to North American and West would back to South right, and that war is not over. It's just

an armatist I don't know if you know that. The part of why North Korea is so always salty at us is NIGGI. We still got warships off the thought of the coast. It's a flex, that's all. It was American Front, like we had never lost no war. You know we still we still undefeated. But you know Vietnam don't count because it's like, well technically what in our war? Now they get you jumped in we lost that mug. Do you ask any of Vietnam war vet especially by

how they was treated when they got home. They get outsid l But it's a game of thrones. But the fear was we can't let communism we as in America take root in the America's because that's too close. Famious Inglewood family in the nineties, Inglewood Saints like these are Inglewood is pretty much all bloods that they are surrounded on every side by Crypt gangs. They're like, look, man, we can we can't have no other crypt take roote

over here. Dog. It is getting crazy. But yeah, at the end of the day, it's because we're afraid of Russia, Niga, Cuba, the Bay of Pigs, autist ship. It's it's because we were we were beefing and has it to do with anybody on the land, because the lands the lick I need that are we gonna get this sugar and r t got dog. So now you're big bad America in the twentieth century. Nigga. You shine, and you shining hard.

You're stunning on everybody, but so as Russia. So you feel like your world's enemies are and you're really kind of like jumping, you know, in you in the hood and like maybe you had to you had a win, and it's like and the one one one thing can say, all right, all right, that's cool, Okay, now it's cool a. Now I don't tread full. You should trip, for sure, you better trip. So you're looking around, You're trying to watch everybody's moves, see what's going on, and you're trying

to like set up shopping different places. Like we talked about another episode. You know, you're saying Fox five cause FO five moves to another city to get it cracking. You know what I'm saying, because you're expanding your resources. You're trying to get this ship cracking, right. But if you're American, you're watching because you know everybody else doing

the same. So you're looking at like what's going on Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Public else, Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Perguay, Petu. Like you looking around and like, okay, what they're doing. Who they're putting in charge? What does that fool think? Like, is he gonna be cool with us? Are he gonna be cool with them? You're gonna you're gonna make it easy for us to like, you know, set up shop just in case y'all got some money, you're gonna sell

with us. You're gonna be you're watching real close. You need to know who they mess with and who's messing with them and who don't mess with them and all that you need to know. You're seeing how they moving. Are they right wing? Are they left wing? Are they authoritarian? Are they democratic? That's Nicka Wagra Like this is what happened to Nikara again, Like I said, it's the crack

attack this nickar Rock. You're watching real close, you know what I'm saying, and you're looking to see on the ground, like, Okay, who possibly could I tap? Like who can I You know what I'm saying, Who can I recruit? You? Feel me? Right? Who out there? Just kind of early? The early is like a pimp slang. But we'll get into that later. Like basically you're too young to actually be on the corner, but I'm gonna get you ready for it. That's called early.

It's terrible anyway, Um, but you're looking around like all right, and if you see, man, you know what I'm saying, these rebel forces. Right, if the rebel force is more right wing than left wing because you're afraid of them left wings because that's gonna mess up your money, then you might like low key like start like running down there and being like yo, we got you hold me. I like what y'all doing. Man, you're fighting for you fighting for this. But if they too far right, then

you're like, oh, ship, this ain't no democracy. Okay, well let me back these other foods. Or sometimes like with mosta deck in Iran, you just you're back both sides. You just you're selling guns to folks because you're trying to set up your own ship. And then when it should get too wild, you send down their humanitarian efforts, right peace keeping, uh forces, your your you send your American military because oh, we're just down there trying to keep the peace. We don't want this. Oh don't it

sound like the police and the Hood. Don't it sound like that, Oh, we're just keeping peace. You got to have so much violence out here. We just we just think you got should stop killing each other. Dog, I'm telling you it's the global hood. Now check this out. There's an entire phrase that encapsulates all this. It's called

the Truman doctrine. It's this idea of President Harry Truman who developed this around and it was the idea of containing communist growth that was specifically in Greece and Turkey. But the idea is you step into civil wars and you try your best to contain the spread of communism. Now back to us, sowing of chaos, flipping over regimes, deposing dictators. A lot of times they create this narrative that you are the hero for the people if you're gonna do it out loud, A lot of times you

do it behind closed doors. But at the end of the day, for the wealth distribution to stay the way it is, you need workers, you need plantations, you need share croppers. Now I want to talk specifically about El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras because this is that northern triangle and has a direct connection to our border crisis right now. And these are like crude, crude. I am not doing these stories justice. They all need their own seven part series.

But let me start with El Salvador. Right. So, there was a bunch of peasant workers uprisings in the country against this oligarchy and like this anti democratic governments, often under control of powerful American company interests like the United Fruit Company. I'm gonna get to that in a second.

And with the appearance of figures like Marthe who led these civil revolts, they were violently crushed, and efforts to take power democratically were often thwarted by US intervention, and the Civil War started spreading, with the U s endorsed governments in Elf Salvador facing like guerilla fighters. Now let me go back to this United Fruit Company. Um, you ever heard of Chaquida Banana? You heard me right, the Chaquida Banana. You ever heard of the Banana Wars or

the Banana Banana Republic? You have not the clothing store, but the idea of a banana republic. Check this out. Follow me. So the Chaquida Brands International. For some reason, the world got the taste of a banana and was like, nigga, we need these. But they only grew down there. It was an American corporation UH that traded tropical fruit right grown in Latin American plantations and sold in United States

and Europe. The company was formed in eight and it flourished in the early twentieth century, and it became control of vast territories and transportation networks in Central America, Caribbean, Colombia, and the West and the West Indies. It was main competition was something that later became the Doll Company. For UH dominance in the international banana trade, and it maintained a virtual monopoly for certain regions which became called the

banana republics, such as Honduras, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. Listen, y'all remember the Homies. Smedley Butler, Me and Robert did a couple episodes about Homie. Listen, how he learned how to fight wars family he was in these banana wars. These are wars that are basically because as a corporation, American corporations want the money to keep flowing. You need a lot of land to grow bananas, and you also need a lot of people to do that, and you need a not a land to create trains to transport

those bananas, which means you gotta buy up. What did I say at the beginning, The land is the lick. You gotta buy the whole thing up, and you gotta have people that work there. So if we in America are making a gang of money off of what this area is producing, and I'm seeing these uprisings from the people who are in your American imagination clearly getting their ideas from the communists, from the commies, or maybe they just want some rights. I have a vested interest into

making sure that this company keep winning. And for this company to keep winning, I need a person in office that's gonna make sure at one you can quell an uprising peacefully. But if you can't, he go some guns. Now.

Guatemala there was another civil war. Peasants and workers, mostly indigenous descent UH revolted on the first half of the twentieth century due to horrible, terrible living conditions UH and abuse from landlords in the government, supported by you guessed it, the United Fruit Company Chiquita Bananas, because again, you need land to make the money. And these revolts were like,

I mean, brutally brutally brutally taken down. They had a situation where all of the country was basically controlled by one or two families and the rest of the country was like no niggative, sain't it. But it led to the democratic election of this guy named Jacobo Guzman yo Arbanez. My wife will kill me for not knowing how to

pronounce that, but check this out. That fool was overthrown by a Coudeta nineteen fifty four, which led to an authoritarian government's endorsed by the United States and nearly forty years of civil war up in this mug. Forty years fam Now, Ronald Reagan, like I said before, who did not want the spread of communism to happen near the United States, officially met with a dictator and accused him of crimes against humanity. And then Honduras gave a strong

support to his regime. So now Hon Doris chose a side, which means for America, it's fun Hondoras. Now you're messing with our money. I need you to just you need to keep sending this money up here. And I don't like the fact that y'all and chose somebody for yourself. So every time follow me, every time I'm just dropping into two countries, the hood figure out something to try to take care of themselves. There's a vested interest into

making sure that they can't. And what happens when you're in civil war, what happens when you're in destabilized areas? What happens nigga crying? People start figuring out their own ways to make their Money's numerous ways to make funds. And if you've wiped out all of your land just to grow bananas, nigga, you didn't terraformed for the worst. You didn't set yourself up for some serious climate crisis. Now, Nigga, we can't grow food. It ain't no jobs, ain't no

stable government. You remember when we talked about a long time, this was pre I heeart that an unstable government fux up the money. They can't get the bag right. And if you just Guatemalan, you like Nigga, I'm out you like civilians in the hood. It's like, man, I mean, I'm running from these cribs, I'm running from these bloods. I'm running from these essays and the police they get kicked rocks. You ever seen what I'm saying. It just sucks that you run into the same people that caused

the problem in the first place. I'm telling you this ship run deep, dog. Just there's a financial benefit of keeping these hoods hoods, because do we really want them? Sitting at that table, do you want the G seven to be G nineteen? Oh? Man? Do you really want criminal reform? Criminal justice reform? You really want to compete for these high paying jobs with two people or twelve people? I don't know. I'm not saying this. People sitting around

a big old table deciding all this ship. I am saying the system is set up to incentifize those empower to fight to stay in power. Now I could. I mean, I'm telling you man, I could go on and on about America's history of regime change and destabilization in Central and South America. Um the hand, we have the idea that like we allowed American corporations really too moving and just continue to make problems in their governments. Now, like I said, in the hood, American hoods, do we have problems?

Abs so lutely do they have serious problems? Absolutely? Did it happen in the vacuum, of course not? Of course not so when people run into the borders, there's a there's a reason for it. Niggas ain't lazy, they're not inept. Just like if you from the hood, nigg you ain't lazy, man. Some of y'all niggas are just like some of them are, but not the ones that got up, got out and did something, are trying to What was you doing in the hood. You just trying to make a better life

for yourself, nigga, That's what they're doing. Was half the problems in your hood. Not your fault, Nikki exactly. Just like them. Does it have a lot to do with powerful regimes trying to protect their power? NIGGI, Yes, this is why it's real weird and why like it rubbed me the wrong way when you know, Aunti Kamala went down there and was like, listen, I know you're thinking about coming, but let me tell you something. Don't come.

And I understand what she was trying to say in the sense that like, yo, let us get our stuff together, like we're not ready, like we're not ready yet, like come on, but I gotta tell you, man, when it's coming from uh, a regime that is partially responsible for the problem.
