Man, you hit somebody with a pull up, they hit you with a Now, I'm good you you do you though? Listen, that is the most polite way to tell you have zero cloud and I don't care nothing about your function like this. You have no idea how much of a dish you just got Right now. I'm saying, you try to put together a summit, You try to put together invite list somebody. Somebody hits you with a who are gonna be there? That means they're not coming. Yo. Mexican
President was like, who are gonna be there? Okay, who's not gonna be there? I'm good, love do you you're in trouble? Big doghood? Politics, y'o. Welcome to another episode. Listen. These are these are the topics that just bring me some of the most joy because they kind of deep cuts. America is just not good at really following foreign policy unless there's a war going on. That's the only reason.
That's the only way we know. You know what I'm saying, what's going on in any other country, which says a lot about us, but whatever that's I'm not here to drag that part about us, but I am here to say I really enjoy foreign policy because it's the most hood to be at all of it, you know what I'm saying, And once you understand how the pieces work, it's just so. If it wasn't so deadly, it'd be so entertaining. But I I love bringing these particular stories
to y'all because they're so relatable. So check this out. Who all gonna be there? All black people? Know that means if you don't know what it means. This what we said. If you ask somebody to pull up to something you're putting together, barbecue function, whatever it is, the who are gonna be there? Is an unspoken code as to I really don't want to come right, It just me I really don't want to come now. Usually you don't know who all gonna be there? You know what
I mean? But if you do, now, if we're gonna be talking like into the specifics of like somebody actually serious about who are gonna be there? Some of that has to do with like rival hood stuff or if you beat it with somebody or your ex girl gonna be there? You know what I'm saying. Like there's that, then there's another level like is it gonna even be cracking? Like is this even worth my time to be at?
You know what I mean? But ultimately we understand it as code is you ain't coming, who are gonna be? That means you ain't coming. There's another code, which is usually much more direct, which is like, yo, I'm good love do you? Though? That is again, I can't stress this enough. This is the most polite way of saying you burnt out. I don't want to have nothing to do with you. I think what you're doing is stupid. Look, this is dumb. Ain't nobody gonna be there? This is trash.
I don't respect nothing you're putting together. But do you? I don't. I wish you well, but you ain't nobody. Now, this turning down of that invite says one thing about the person that's turning it down, but it secondly says a lot about again, your cloud, your little invite list, Because, as everyone knows, when you throw a party, your party supposed to be the place to be. You want everybody that that's your who shows up, that's that's a reflection
of your pull of your cloud. You know what I'm saying. I need the room to be filled with shot callers that we all I'm saying with dope beautiful sexy type by is yeah, that you need the rum to be like this needs to be the dopest function. You know what I'm saying. You don't want no drama, of course, you know, but you want like you want the real Ones to be in the building as a side, no
shot out real Ones. I don't know if you'll be showing up every first listen, every First Sunday, Long Beach, California, Real Onesday party? Is it is the function. It could be showing up though, but that's not here to plug that,
although I'm always plugging that anyway. You want the list to show up, and you also don't want to know drama, right, But when you're putting together the list, you gotta think about who won't be there and who going finn who gonna be there, and you gotta make some sort of calculation as to like who you trying to offend here, you know what I mean? Like there'd be some people sometimes that you have to invite because you know if you don't, it's gonna be trouble later on. This is
I give you your real hood example. You got that really really really hood cousin, you know, really really crazy uncle. You know what I'm saying, that's just like, oh that I know. If I don't invite him, I'm gonna here, I'm gonna hear about it, and then you're gonna come anyway. You know. I'm saying, whether I invite this nig or not, he foul the pull up, because that's just how he moved you. Y'all. You got a friend that's just like, look, you can't not invite be cause you ain't going here
the end of it. If you don't invite this food and then some of them fools, it's like, well, if I invite them, that means I can't invite these dudes. I can't invite that girl because all they got a thing. If I am vite her, then that's gonna make him mad, and then he's gonna be all in my ear this whole there, or if I invite him, that's gonna make her mad, whatever the case may be. You're like, look, man, we're throwing a block party. Okay, this for the whole block.
But I just don't want to know problems. So them niggas and dem niggas. I can't invite them niggas, y'all, And y'all at overthrows man, they can't come. I'm not gonna invite them because listen, they just I really don't know it. It's gonna be problems if they come. And then the person, the most important person you need to be there here that you're not inviting that house, in that house, and they're like, oh, no, I'm good, have fun. Though, dog, you've just been the way that you have just been,
undermine the way that your cloud has just ended. Like you ain't nobody. I'll see you later though. I'll tap in later though, but I'm not going to this. You said this was a block party. The whole block ain't here. You ain't nobody, And who do you Who are you to decide who's gonna get active and who're not gonna get active? Who are you to decide? You're throwing a function for the hood. You're throwing a function for the party. You know what I'm saying. You're throwing the function for
the block. And then the block post to be here. Why is you the boss of the block. Oh, because you've been the boss of the block. You get to decide who cool and who not cool. I don't think I need to listen to you no more. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna pull up. Can't make me pull up. And it's just and your party gonna be fine whether I come or not. I'm just saying, this ain't a block party if the block ain't here. Dog, you look, if you're throwing that party, you look like a herb.
You're clown like yo, like, you just look like a clown. And that food that didn't come by just being themselves has just bossed up and has made such a point. Listen, this stuff ain't like y'all know all this like, this stuff ain't do that. Somebody hit you with a who all, go be there, they're not coming. And this is exactly what Mexico did to the US. Let's talk about the Summit of the America's after this break, all right, So the Summit of the America's started in nineteen ninety. It
was in it was in Miami. And the ideas again, remember the the episodes I did about global superpowers and the world order, you know, not on some like in WU but like just yeah, yeah, look you scroll back up at the feet you can find it about economics in the world order. Anyway, when you become like a superpower. Part of that role, whether imagined or not, or whether it's you're trying to stay up, if you gotta boss
up at every moment. You have to whenever you walk in the room, you gotta be like, oh, I'm in charge here, this is what we're gonna do. Let's just everybody huddle up. You have to assume in all situations that you are the quarterback, you are the point guard. You gotta assume in all situations. So some of the America's was supposed to be for the Western hemisphere, you know, the America's Canada, America, Mexico, Central and South America, that we all get together to make sure that like yo,
we gotta yo, we gotta click up. You know what I'm saying, Like we can't let we can't let the Eurasian continent, you know what I'm saying, punk us out of stuff. You feel each so like we gotta stay united, we gotta stay we gotta stay good. You feel me. And if you're the one with the most power, the most you know, most money, especially in ninety four again, whether real or imagined, like I mean, this was just opposition and it feels good to be on top. Let's
be real. You know what I'm saying, Like it feels good to be the boss, Like if you would you rather be the hunter or the hunted. I mean, it's not right or wrong, it's just I mean you're trying to be a predator or prey or you're trying to be like I mean, you you understand I'm getting that here. So the sum of the America's was together. You know, you talk about immigration, migration, trade, you know what I'm saying, make agreements, defense. You know, you create allied ships and
and and alliances. You know, you you you you'd be setting up licks climate. You know what I'm saying, like getting you know, you're kind of getting your pieces of the plazzer together. You know what I'm saying. You're working on your supply chain. You feel me, you're trying to like make sure that y'all blocks set, that y'all y'all set that we can't be beefing among each other because the op is over there. You feel me, like we can't be opts among each other. You feel me like
that's kind of the idea. But as time went on, like anything that you're trying to do across alliances like this food's got their own ideas and they're gonna start seeing through your supposedly you know, Coom Bay, y'all kind of like you know, altruistic. Can't we all just get
along attitude? And it's like, well, fool, you're raping us for resources too, you know what I'm saying, Like you're making it sound like like we actually friends, and because we ain't friends, you know what I'm saying, Like, Okay, we'll stop stop building sweatshops in our spot, stopped turning away our refugees. You know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, you know you it's real, that's real. Nice from your corner. Well,
you destabilized almost half of our governments down here. You don't remember the Banana Wars, Like you're not really good down here, you know, but we'll we'll play along. I'm talking Central on South America, especially if you hate it. You like, I don't want to hear nothing you got to say, but kind of do because we kind of have to. You know what I'm saying. You Nicaragua, I'm like, you think we don't remember the eighties? You know what
I'm saying, Everything was cool for a little bit. You know, and then you you know, you kind of threw us under the bus here with this Kocaina. You're not gonna You're just not gonna tell everybody about our deal. You're just gonna stand around here in ninety four act like we all friends, Okay, El Salvador thinking the same thing.
Everybody like, all right, we're cool. We'll play it cool for now, but like, don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining monig like, but we'll play along because we kind of you know, I'm not looking for China invade us either, so we'll play a long So I'm recording this on June seven. This thing is supposed to happen on June eight. It's the it's the it's the some of the America's and President Biden decided that
he wasn't going to invite Uba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. Now we could do the entire episodes on what's happening over there. Some of it has to do with like we need
to mind our own damn business. Other others has to do with like serious humanitarian issues, you know what I'm saying, and and government destabilization, like I don't like I don't know who the president of Venezuela is, you know what I'm saying, Like, you know, there's one that they voted for, and then there's one that won't leave, and then there's the one that they're like you know what I'm saying, like, don't nobody know like who the president? You know what
I'm saying. Like, so in some senses you like his His argument is they don't really represent like the type of governments and like stable people, positive like you're not doing these like gross like crimes against humanity. You feel me so like y'all y'all kind of involved in all that's just I won't be able. I don't I don't need that energy at our function, our summit, at the summit of the America's Mexico goes, well, I thought you said this was a summit of America's NIGGD. Where you
think they at? Are they from space? What continent you think they are part of? And why do you get to say who is worthy of the invite? If it's the summit of the if it's a block party and you live on the block, you should be able to come. That's what Mexico said. Now fitting for with y'all. You know what. I'm good, honey, y'all do what y'all gotta do. Mexico is like, who are gonna be there? You're not bringing They're not gonna be there. I'm good then, do you?
And why that's such a disk there's there's so many reasons why that's such a disc If you America again, then what you're showing me is you ain't the boss you think you are because don't act like well the Mexico there, like is that not? Like if we're gonna talk, how are you gonna have a summer about migration and not have Mexico there? If you America, what is we talking about here? Y'all said the quiet as his cap.
Everybody hustling to get to America in Mexico like the last again you think Mexico think like you said, like, yeah, I'm gonna let you sing coom bay y'all like this really a block party. But we know what you're doing. You need us. You ain't nobody. You don't get to call these shots no more. And why do you get to decide who's safe? And you're not safe? You think we'd ain't seeing the war that's broken out on your soil. Oh,
now it's getting real. You think we don't suit, We don't we ain't see your whole government almost get overthrown. You think we don't remember that your last president didn't come to the summit in Peru. Oh Trump didn't go because Trump was like, I ain't fooling with y'all. Y'all don't mean nothing to me. You think you you think they don't notice that y'all in disarray. These fools invaded your capital, and you ain't do ship. I thought you
was big bad America. You think we don't see China cleaning your clock and especially this, these these countries that they didn't invite. You think China ain't in their ear. You think it's not some fools on the other side of the street saying, hey home, your own block can't invite you. I don't know why you keep fooling with them. These people don't love you. Here, go to evidence right here. Look, I mess with you, I'll mess with you. Don't care
about your location. You could be a part of our summit. Oh dog like this an l because but what's the alternative? It's in it's mid term election season. You invite them three countries. You'dn't messed up with your uncle and them who the uncle? And them the Republican Party Conservatives. This an election year, you invite them people they're not then they're not fooling with you, and you're the whole city and it's mid terms. You're messing up. They're gonna they're
gonna be a problem. It's gonna be a problem later. So that's the calculation. These foods gonna cause problems for me later if I invite these fools. But if I don't invite these fools? Did that make me look like a herb? What you That's what I'm That's why I love foreign policy. What you' supposed to do? Well? How does this? What's this have to do with anybody? Look, we're talking security, were talking trade, we're talking migration. Like when when the when the country decides to say, hey,
we need to set up these new migratory laws. You think you think Mexico don't remember them cages? You think how doors? Don't you think they don't remember Title forty two. Maybe you don't remember Title forty two. Uh, but look at there was a pandemic era restriction back on which was the first imposed by Trump that allowed authorities to rapidly return back to Mexico most asylum seekers who arrived at the southern border. Because it was supposed to be
like a pandya, it's a pandemic. We can't do this right. We're supposed to end that, but a federal judge barred President Biden from ending the use of Title forty two after the US sued, meaning that the restriction, which immigration advocates have argued it violates US and international laws. Like it remains in place. You think these people don't remember that? Why the hell would I come to your party? YO said, you know, all bad. This makes us look especially for
our our little our little, our little myths. We tell our little stories, we tell ourselves about being the bosses. Do you think people don't see this? And then Yo, to make matters worse? Guess who he is? Pull it up far right? Brazilian President Jayre Bosnaro. He's like, yeah, hoppy, there the Trump love it, like the anti vaccine. I'll pull it up you like, listen, it's it's great. Look I'm a quote from an Al Jazeera article. President on dress Manuel Lopez order by door like I love his fools.
I love how Mexican. His name is uh as In it's like a million names. Anyway, he said, is it going to be a summit of the America's or is it going to be the friends of America's summit? That's what he said. And that's what's really happening. And it's like this, ain't that some of the America's. This is just your homies. This is just a kickback. Then, don't call it that. Man. You're trying to pull up to your kickback. I mean, if were working, were working, but
it's just your kickback. Man. I'm not gonna just be up here and just be all up in the pictures with you if if if I'm pulling up, were pulling up. And the point you make it too is like your suthing gonna be fine, right, They're gonna be all right. You don't need me here. But if I do come, we getting active. Now, let me run down the implications and what that got to do with us. Uh, I'm gonna do that after this break. All right, we're back, So who cares? Who pulls up? Right? We're big bad America,
you know, and close our borders if we want. You know what I'm saying we can do whatever we need to do in Mexico. Like, Yo, that's a sovereign country. They can they do it. It's fine. Like if you don wanta come, you want to come, And really, if you're throwing a part party, why don't you get to it? Choose who cause your party? Well, I keep hinting to it and alluding to it in in this episode, but like, here's the implication, and here's what it has to do
with us. First, The implication is it's yet another like tick mark on the wall, that we are not the superpower we used to be, that we don't call the shots that we think we do, and at some point we're just going to have to face it as a nation. You ain't no boss, no more. And it's it's the equivalent to Jordan and Kobe figuring out, I better really perfect my jump shot because my knees ain't ain't gonna let me keep slashing and you know, taking it to the cup every every take, my knees won't in my
body cam. Man, we just you just get banged up so much that eventually are you like, man, I need to I need to get my outside getting together, you know, at some point you got to become the old head at the at the park, you know, with with the full NBA uniform, oh in the sweathead band. That is just ice and threes. Like he don't run, he won't move, he won't move very fast. But you know if you give him the rock, that man gonna I he got both. He got two knee braces own you know what I'm saying,
But he ice at every shot. At some point in America is just gonna have to accept that, like you know, your knows ain't no more specially anybody else that knows. And this is just another mark into it. And then secondly it acknowledges that you know, this like Reagan era, maybe even all the way back to like Truman era understanding of like you need to protect the Americas from communism. That was like the just the whole like thought around
making sure that all of Central and South America. So it's just cold war stuff, making sure all that Central and South America doesn't become leftist or or don't become communist countries. Because you see that as a threat to you, you just gotta let that go. Dog Like this, I think I can say that that might be failed policy, big homie. Look, man, if the Niggs down the street gonna become blood, they're just gonna become blood. Like it
is what it is. You can't stop them from. Look, if that's what they're gonna do, that's what they're gonna do. They ain't gotta be ap there was not automatic. I mean, I guess it is. You know what I'm saying. Then what do I know? But it could be like, Yo, we don't mess with them over there, So we don't mess with them over there. You lived treat them like they treat them like they treat them like they devatos. We just don't. You don't interact with them, Joe said.
But you like, I can't, man, y'all in my backyard, I can't not interact with you. But that's quite a quandary. This is another implication that's quite a quandary. But they're just trying to get there. It's just like you're trying to get yourrs against a sovereign nation. We're just trying to get hards and a new president of Mexico, Yo, heat he worried about domestic issues like and he looking at America like you clean your own house. You got issues.
You know what I'm saying. Another implication that has something to do with us is again, this is just another data point that the right can use to say that like, uh, Biden, ain't it and neither are you Democrats. Y'all ain't it. Y'all can't even get I can't even get foods to come like And their argument with like Trump was like, look that said he wasn't pulling up because he don't respect them anyway. We like that energy. This man can't even get together. We're trying to we're trying to solve
We're trying to solve our migration. It's our immigration issue, which subtexts from prop I mean, I know what the hell you mean when you say immigration issue, but we're gonna put that to the side for right now. But they're gonna be like, you can't even get what's the point to even have this. Mexico ain't here. You can't even get them. And again, if I'm a Republican, I'll be like, and you too scared of them to like boss up? They can boss up you too. You needed
to judge to boss up for you. That's what I meant by the title forty two things. You you you're supposed to boss up. You can't even boss up? Why why I'm gonna take you serious? You can't even boss up with Mexico. I'm saying like that again because I'm putting words in the in the Republican's mouth. I can't even boss up with Mexico. Come on me, so game face on what's also interesting to me as a side noticed, Joe Biden has never He's made no executive orders. He
hasn't done any of them. Obama did a handful. Trump was doing him daily my name, but by did I do it? I think maybe that's a game he's playing because he's like, now, I don't see myself like that. I shouldn't have to. I shouldn't have to do that. And I can see from Biden's perspective like I I'm not that kind of dude, Like I'm not that guy, Like I don't need to. I don't need to be a bully to show I got power. Maybe that's his play. I don't know. I just know it is a quite
a blow to your cloud. If you throw a function and how me hit you with a who all gonna be there? Now? I'm good? Do you? Ah? I'm recording this before this suthing happened, so hopefully some good things happened and we can report back that it worked out a right. But as for right now, bro, you burnt out HOMEI but politics, y'all. Yeah, this here thing was recorded by ME Propaganda and East Low Spoil Heights, Los Angeles, California. This mug was mixed, edited, mastered, and scored by Matt Osowski.
I can totally say his name, guys, it was. It was a stick. He's won by Matt now again because he got two legal situations with the name Headlights. Y'all know, common used to be called common sense. You know, tip t I was tipped sometimes it happened. Executive produced by the one and only Sophie Lichtman for a Cool Zone Media and the theme music by the one and only Gold Tips Gold Tips d J Shawn p. So y'all just remember listen every time you check in. If you
understand city living, you understand politics. We'll see how next week
