Media. So look, it's like this, gangs have depending on sort of what level of gang you in, you know, without getting too far as in the weeds, gangs have at least in la different sort of levels they have like entry level and like intermediate. These like subsets of these sets sort of training you to be part of like the main thing. I know, it's it gets it
gets real complicated. But depending on which one of these you're interacting with, a lot of times the level of violence and harm that you're experiencing or even that they're into, Like this might be a set that's really just in the making money or just pimping, like whatever the case may be. It may not necessarily you may not be necessarily interacting with like the most evolved pokemon of that
particular set. And one thing to remember is that then that means that like, yeah, your your experience is going to be different, but when you get to the top rungs, you start interacting with the fully formed version of that. There's a lyric that I'm pulling from from Schoolboy Q. He did a song with Freddie Gibbs, and there's a line in there that is a line I've heard so
many times again being in and around this space. It's that look, they take one, we take five schoolboy who is unabashedly in a tray, right, And that's as in eighty thirty. He's a crib you know, or at least affiliated with him. He says it multiple times. Any music, I'm not. This is not any sort of pretending like I know this nigga well or better than I do. It's in his music, you know. But I do know a trays just from being on the east side of South Central.
Anyway.
The thing that he's saying, I'm pretty sure you could figure out what he's saying. They take one, we take five is a matter of murder. Like if you kill one of ours, were gonna kill five of yours.
We don't.
It's not the tit for tat. It's not the take they bus we it's not that simple. We are going to over and exceedingly and abundantly overrun you with violence.
Why to stop you from doing it again?
I mean it's to show that, like listen, this is going to cost you more than what you gain from.
That's the streetway.
And like I said, everybody's hoodster's playboy, gangsters, whatever it is, everybody's approached the gangbanging might be a little different.
These a trays that we talk about right now.
Under somebody named Monster Cody who has passed away but was a legend with his just disregard for human safety, like the fear, the repercussion, the like, do not mess with us. Sometimes may have to do with even the location, like where they are. There's right below and above if you look the map of where and it's probably different now, but from what I remember, we look at where the map is it they surrounded.
It's two blood sets around them. And then on the other side.
Of the freeway are the Royland sixties, which are also they arch enemies, so like they're they're like, we need to be brawlers because we're surrounded on every side.
So they take one, we take five.
That's like that's the rule, you know, and if not, then this ain't This ain't.
The life for you.
So if you're gonna mess with us, if you're gonna if you're gonna really try to tell you don't really take one of us, then like you crazy, you need to really.
Count the cost as to what you're doing.
Better really be with the ships as you would know, like I said, I'm referring to the gang life. I remember having to step over these wars that try to get around and try to make sure I don't get caught up into this rap.
From my lifetime and in my teenage.
Years these words, there's some very very very violent times that you know, praise God from whom all blessings flow. I avoided a lot that being said, I've been slapped in the face by a trait ed it was not fun. Point is you know what you signing up for when you mess with them. So the question has to be how much of this, like it's just really really worth it. You gotta be utterly convinced because you know that they
are really with the shits. So then the question has to be if Amasa has been around since you know, shortly after the Muslim Brotherhood and the PLO, and you know they in the Oslo Cords, like they've been around, which at some point I'm gonna have to talk about the oslow course, if they've been around all these things of every war that Israel has had since their foundation, because the second they got they became a country, everybody attacked them, Joe said, because.
They was like nigga, why are you here?
Then you shouldn't know Israel got them than they don't they they do not they they are killers. They are to take five people like you can't. And if you're watching the numbers right now, I mean, that's what's happening. For every one, there's like twenty for every one Israeli, there's like twenty Palestinians being lost.
So Harmas, what the fuck are you doing? Like? What is your logic? And that's what I want to talk about here, love politics tell love politics?
Wrong?
All right, y'all you wasn't outside part four? Yeah?
What what was your calculations? That's that's what we need to talk about right now. But first some updates and some other news.
So updates.
Uh that humanitarian pause we was talking about, uh in the in the part three, it happened, you know, Thank the Lord. Even you know, even with all the all the silly politics and wordsmithing around it, some people have been released. Now it's interesting again, keeep, the words being used.
The Hamas Is asked to release the hostages.
Israel is like, or Hamas is like, I'll give you all hostages once you give us our prisoner. And essentially y'all got hostages too. Now why are we calling them prisoners and them hostages? Well, there's the obvious, right that mass kidnapped them like they all the way around that shit, right, And then there's the other side. Why the uh Palestinians that the Israelis have are prisoners? You would say, well,
where did they come from? I thought this started on October seventh, And like I said, nigga, this is season twelve, episode nine. You understand I'm saying. The shit ain't start that day. It just ratcheted up that day this particular season started. What was interesting about the people that were released and the people they was asked for being released. Hamas had released children and they you know, they say the mothers and their children, the women and their children.
You know, if you, if you, if you're male and my age, nigga, you all your older this shit.
But they released the women and the kids. And normally if they released kids, they released the kids mama with them.
You know, it's just like, I mean, it's just the right thing to do. I mean, I know we're talking about right and wrong in the situation like this is balkers. But anyway, so that happened but the people that was released from Israel. Here's what's real interesting. Is Israel's like, I'm not finna give y'all these murderers, these terrorists, right. But what happened was some of the people that was being released from Israel, they wasn't They was kids too.
They were people that being held listen, without trial and without arrest.
They was being held on.
Suspicion of like, oh, no, nigga, you acting like a terrorist. They was like, well, what's what's the charge against me? We ain't got to tell you? Or how long I'm beer? We ain't got to tell you.
I'm like, cusy, you know, they kind of sound like kind of sound like us just too. So these words kind of matter.
So the people that's been getting off these buses, they kids who were suspected of terrorist activity. Maybe some of them were, I know, I've been suspected of gang activity.
And maybe if you do the numbers.
You understand I'm saying, you know, you friends will be j you friends with this nigga, You friends with this nigga?
You in a gang?
I'm like, no, I'm not. And they like, well, you know, it looked like a duck. It talked like a duck, you know, you friends with all them. I'm like, that's I mean, I'm just that's where I'm from. Like they was in my Sunday school, Nigga. They we went to hand start together. The thing about I'm jumping around here, but you gotta understand this, Like even when you talk about suspected A terrorists activity, think about like inner city life. I like, I'm looking at this boy's face.
In my mind, I'm looking at it.
We went to elementary school together, junior high and by the time we was in high school, he was banging hard. And at that point I had to like see him when he wasn't with the hommies to be like come on, fan, like nigga, you know me, Like so what I'm saying is like yo, a lot of times the murderers that are happening between these sets. Like look, we was in kids, was in little leag together. It was a pop Warner together.
We went to the same after school programs, the same summer you know, summer like city rec center things like we all knew each other and then you start and then like it be a dude, you know, because you went to like I went.
To summer school with this kid.
You know that like Mayn murdered your homeboy or Mayn murdered you as kids. They were on the same football team when they was kids. Because it's it's not that big of a place, you understand what I'm saying, Like neighborhoods like that, Like yeah, you know if you play the cities, you know how city leaves asol all that shit work.
Like we're friends.
So you wrap me up on some like suspicion of terrorism. It's like, I mean, I guess, but no, I haven't committed a crime. That's my cousin, that's my own boy.
I love them. You know, they may have just got back from a lick and now they're in my house. I don't know. We just walked home together from school, like I don't.
So authorities oftentimes when they're authoritarian like that, they just wrap you up up. They just like if you know them. And what's crazy is like the streets we acting like that too. It's like, look, nigga, if you know, I love how you standing all your square. But like nigga, if you owe me money and you acting like you a tough guy, your daughter is with you, your uncle is with you, so somebody gonna run me my check. It's just it's authoritarian like it's that's how that shit works.
Now.
So there's been an exchange in prisoners, you know, a handful of them, And I say a handful, which isn't fair because every life obviously is precious and to that, to that family, that one baby home is like is the world today to them? You know, So it's difficult when you're talking about big numbers too, you know, not sound like you're minimizing the individual story. That's not all I'm trying to do here when I say a handful. But y'all know if you listen to the show, I
don't move like that now. In a related other news kind of like tangently related, Nigga did the go o at the greatest.
Of all time of war crimes. Nigga the greatest war criminal.
Of all times as of yesterday, November to twenty ninth, has finally passed away. Nigga Henry Kissinger at a hundred a hundo a century Nigga a century years old.
This nigga finally did.
I should not be laughing because that's somebody Paul Paul. But let me tell you something you remember in the movie Forrest Gump.
How in Forrest Gump man. I don't know how old y'all a.
But in Forrest Gup, Forrest was at everything Like that was part of the funny of the movie. It's like Forrest was he was at everything. You know, you just I'm sorry I broke up your black panther party.
Like he was at everything. So if you look of any war that the US is fault right after World War Two, all.
Of them, any destabilization that has happened across the world that America was involved in, throw a rock.
At a nation. Just throw a rock at him and be like, has America been involved there? Yeah? Have we? Are we the cause of millions.
And millions of deaths and poverty and famine?
Yeah? Did we make a ton of money from this? Yeah?
That Nigga Kissinger who's in the room, he was an American diplomat. Now what's crazy is like my my wife preferred to her prefix doctor Amah was trying to ask me like, hey, uh, where did you learn about him?
Is there a Kissinger class?
And I'm like, no, he's just it's it's the dude, that's it's the actor that's in every movie. But he's not the star of the movie. But he's in every movie. Right, He's that guy where it's like, Hey, what's o boy name that's in He was in this.
He also in this.
He played a boyfriend in this, and then he the father in this show.
What's all the name?
That's Kissinger? But for war crimes. So anyway, he did Matt. In fact, Anthony Blinken said when he released his little Yo He'll be sorely meets recipes we lost a Blincoln was like, Nigga, I called that nigga last week to ask him about this one hundred hundred years old.
He was like, Nigga, I'm still trying to get this Nigga's advice.
Like, man, depending on who biography you reading, Henry Kissinger is the greatest diplomat or the worst war criminal of all time.
Like I mean he on that he I mean he on the Mount Rushmore. Y'all.
This nigga put up Kobe and Lebron numbers of deaths okay, and like I believe there's a count of six part episode on Bastards. Anyway, let's move on to the topic
of this show. Hamas nigga, why, like, what's the basis why this and why now let's talk all right, we're back now there is something that's probably gonna have to be, apparently now a part five where we have to back up and really talk about the birth of Hamas, the birth of you know, I mean, I gotta talk about it's soakra bean, I gotta talk about Yasir Arafat, the Muslim Brotherhood, the PLO, like the Palestinian Liberation Organization like this.
There's there's some really interesting and pretty like oh man, some thorny, thorny, thorny stories there. But ultimately, remember what I said to y'all a long time ago about like negotiating peace with war and gangs is the idea of like it's how how could you Why would I shot
on my own cousin's grave. I'm just gonna shit on his grave by sitting across from a person and from a collective who are responsible for this, and youre talking about talking about peace, nigga, no, bring my little brother back. And the other side feels the same way. So when you talk about like the Oslo Cords and stuff like that, and the idea that like a lot of times, you know, not a lot of times, nigga, every time, And it's exactly what's going on in these areas now.
The these gangs don't speak for us. All these gangs.
Are made up of us, and we are victims of Like it's both, you know, the partition that you would even the idea of a two state solution that didn't come from the ground, nigga, that came from the un right. Israel was like we hear we not leaving Palestine was like the fuck.
You not right?
Like, what the hell is happening? Nigga, you just showed up at our house. The Ulion was like, okay, guys, yeah, I know y'all saw this war we just went through all through Europe, Like, nigga, they gotta go somewhere out of that time. You know, the PLO who were radical for a while and then eventually kind of toned down and sort of became almost like the elite power. They were the ones that were at the table when it was time to negotiate what ended up being the Oslo Cords.
Again, this is gonna be its own show.
At some point, the Oslog Cords were a backdoor, Like all right, NIGGI like, we're gonna do this thing in Madrid where everybody is like, that's where all the news media is. But let's do the real talking here, because the news media won if the PLO comes. At the time, the PLO, which according to the to the rest of the world, they were a terrorist organization. You don't get to negotiate with diplomats, NIGGI like you not so at first, but in reality the PLO actually ran ran the show.
So they sat down with It'sakrabin, who was at the time the president of Israel. Anyway, I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna make this a whole story at some point. But the point is the in the in the behind closed doors, they agree, Okay, listen, this is what we're gonna do. I'm gonna give y'all the West Bank. I'm gonna give y'all Gaza. That'll be your ship, and we're gonna recognize that you can have at And in return, the PLO was like, all right, y'all here, I guess
y'all here, we'll talk about Jerusalem later. That was kind of that was kind of the situation, right, and that was supposed to give us a little bit of peace but PLO came home and was like, well, there's still is really sell settlements in the West.
Bank, like y'all gonna y'all gonna leave. Israel was like, oh, yeah, no, that's not that's not a part of the deal.
That's no, we could still we still be over there the Palestinian forces. The PLO assumed that meant that, like y'all was just gonna leave us alone, Like that meant
that you were gonna recognize us as a state. We was gonna do this whole to two state ship, that's what and now what they said, I thought that's what was gonna do and they said that, like, well, no, we just agreed that we would recognize the West Bank and at the time goal on heights and God says, yes, Palestinian government, but it still is real.
It's like Nigga's not still is real.
And so so they looking at East Soaker being like, Nigga, come get your people, but it's so he couldn't get them to move. So they like, Nigga, why was we negotiating with you? Nigga, you ain't got no power. At the same time, there was still violence happening to Israelis in Palestine. They looking at the PLO like, Nigga, get your people. But remember the PLO at the time. I'm again, it's gonna be his whole story. At some point, they
didn't even live in Palestine. They was rich, elite. They're not even in the streets, y'all, not even out here suffering with us like y'all out here, y'all trying to be pretty boys, y'all trying to be diplomats and shit like, y'all trying to grow up and make your shit go. You're not even out here in the streets. You're not even feeding us, Nigga, like, you're not even helping us. You know who in the streets with us? Is this or called Hamas? Harmas out here feeding the kid Hamas
out here getting active for us. Y'all, y'all don't even live here. You don't even live here at this time on the PLO is exile. So they like nigga, you won't even live here, Harmas live here. They riding for us hermoster ones. That's like looking at the rest of the world. And remember when I talked about normalizing this is another show. We talked about this before the last
time Israel Nim like showed up in the news. We were talking about normalizing relations like in the same way we did with like with Taiwan, to where China is like, nah, you can't accept them and then not be friends as a site. And I'm gonna do a little TikTok about that one. I'm jumping around here, but like that situation hilarious.
Maybe I'll end with that.
But they like, listen, you can't normalize with them, meaning you can't you can't treat them.
Like they're an actual nation.
This is what Palstin's saying, like looking at the rest of the Arab world. Who remember in the sixties, y'all went to war with them, y'all. Do you remember y'all remember that, like Egypt Iran, Like y'all went to warring because before y'all attacked because you knew that shit was bullshit, probably was. It's remocked them all, like that's what's crazy, and how did they mind them?
Guess what?
Let me wrap it around with you, Henry Kissen's weapons. Henry Kissing just sent the heat to Israel at this look, it's all connected. So anyway, so Palestine's argument is like listen, dude, like until they reckon with these gross human atrocities.
Man, don't accept them, don't.
Like, don't let these niggas come to the table, like you don't normalize relations with Israel, like that had to be part of the situation. It's like we have no other Clearly they could kick our ass, like because they kicked all of y'all asses, so like we need what is our like, we have no leverage here unless y'all make it as terrible as you can until they solve this issue. And according to the Israelis, they was like, this is the Palestinian problem, just like the Jews had
the or the German had the Jewish problem. Right, So so they was just like you are a thorn, like we're trying to come if y'all just don't like Nigga, like, y'all chill, We didnet gave you this. We donet gave you this, like, man, let us move on, let us come be lesbie, y'all not letting.
Us be great, you know. And it's like nigga, no, no, we're not you lucky.
We agreed to the sixty seven shit that only gave us a bedroom in our own house, you know, and you did that by bullying us and we just listened to the un cause it's like, I mean, I guess y'all did go through some shit that was kind of the attitude, but got dog man like be good house guests. Shit, it's not yours. And they was like, nigga, yes it is, like we said before, but it was ours.
We just left. Thanks for keeping it nice. Like just crazy.
But either way, it was like, what we can't live. Y'all don't want us to live. We're not allowed to live. It's like, no, nigga, nobody's saying that. Well, somebody's saying it now because they so hamosinim who's in the streets.
They kind of like, bro, let's try this.
Peaceful way, you know, And that was I remember when I was a kid, there was this picture with Bill Clinton.
He like he swore, he swore he fixed the problem. You know he had.
Yeah, y'assa arafat and it'sacra being They was all at the at the White House shaking hands talking about like yo, it's gonna be good this time, you know, like either way both of them, neither of them had the juice back home to be able to keep their hoods in check. Right hell Issakra being got assassinated. They marked him. He really ain't had a juice. What continued to happen was the same violence that was going on before the shit.
There was a whole there was a whole.
Radicalized shooting, the Hebron incident where this this Israeli dude just like just shot up some palace then just shot him up, just like on some like dealing roof styles.
Like there's just just all.
Kind of like just crazy shit happened, and it's like, y'all ain't got no power, and so Jims Hamasa has lost all confidence in the PLO. Y'all not even out here. The government saw it. Soakra being over in Israel as he too saw. So when you get super hard right wing nativists in power, which in some ways some would argue that's what's happening right now, it's the extremists that
are in power. It's the hot heads in the hood that's like turning up all the heat with us, Like nigga, if y'all was just like I damn man like like fall back, neither one of them is like nah, nigga, fuck yr truths. I'm not spitting on my granddaddy's grave. They like, I get these fools no quarters, y'all not even supposed to be here. That's what they both feel. So anyway, this is the background. Now Jima's coming into this. So for a long time they've been in the news,
and they did the protest way. They did, they did the Western way, they did the they did the negotiation.
We did the thing.
Y'all ain't like it when we got active, so we chilled out, you know, and started. What started happening was they stopped being in the This is according to I mean, this is real. But again we asking like why would Hamas do what they do, especially knowing how Israel moved because like I said, Israel takes five, You take one, we take five like they have not. I need you to understand this as since Israel has been a country, they haven't taken a nail. Israel hasn't lost the war.
They've had a lot of wars and they have not lost. They almost they almost lost in the sixties win against Egypt. Egypt was whooping the ass for a while. Are they almost lost until your boy Kissinger came through, resting mud nigga, resting pissed, Good God, anyway. I mean, I guess depends on who you're asking. Now, if you're Amas, you have to be looking across the aisle. You have to you have to know they receipts them niggas take five. Like if how is this like we are going to suffer
worse if we do this? You have to know that you're gonna and the And clearly, if you think of about the moves they made, this wasn't an overnight decision.
This was calculated.
Why you gonna take one, they gonna take five? And if you looking at the numbers on the TV right now, that's exactly what's happening. But like it's like, I mean, I'm making up the number. But like feel it feels like for every every time they talk about some little Israeli person, you're gonna show me twenty Palestinian bodies.
Why would you do this?
And here's what Hama said in an interview believe it or not with the New York Times. And I mean again, listen, you can listen to about seventy five to eighty percent of what somebody like this will say. There's a there is a good nugget of truth in these words. And but you can understand one hundred percent of the fact that this is their perspective. Okay, like that's just that's just real. This is absolutely their perspective. And their perspective
is y'all stop talking about us. Countries around us. It's like you forgot what we were going through. Every Like countries are normalized, they're starting to normalize, you're starting to make normal trade relations. We figured that America was a lost cause. We're not gonna there's no way, we're not gonna stop, y'all, we get it. But the neighbor But y'all, the neighborhood. The only people still willing to be like, no,
this ship is trash. It's Jordan and Morocco, y'all. The only two that are down to be like, no, I'm not going normal. The rest of the people are like, yo, it's too much money out here. I mean, look, man, they're not leaving. They're not leaving, and they got all the bread. I just I don't know, I don't know what you want.
Us to do. It's like, what do you want us to do?
Man?
They're they're here to stay. They're here to stay.
And with that attitude, Hamas felt like our cause was forgotten and we don't know. There's no the protest stop happening, the protests all the time, Free Palestine was everywhere. It was like, there's no more protests, We're not in the news anymore, nobody's talking about humanitarian a it's it's we feel forgotten, and we felt like this is the only
way to remind y'all that we still exist. We live in this open air prison, and it seemed like everybody's just acting like this is okay, and now y'all are starting.
To actually factually, truthfully.
Just you just acting like it's okay, and it's only getting worse for us.
So we just figured.
Out, like I don't know, man, Like I bet you, you know, they just all just living comfortable over there. I bet you if we just you know, I don't know, like I don't know, hit a Kaboots and you know, Attack of Music Festival, maybe y'all would just remember that we was alive.
So if if that's your attitude, then you feel like the carnage has to be crazy, The carnage has to in their mind.
It's like I'm con dancing forty years of carnage into a weekend just for you to understand what we've been feeling.
That's they words. Listen.
I look, look, I'm just translating for now. One would ask how the hell do you notice? It would be a good question. It's like, nigga, can you just ask camas? Actually, yes, this is this is the part that's wow to me. They got like offices, like there's a there's an office in Qatar. There's they got an office in Beirut. Nigga, like with desks and shit. Like they not all brawlers like they some of them are like again like I told you what the black panthers. It's like you asked
ten different panthers. They got ten different reefs.
Everybody got run.
Everybody run things differently, you feel me, But them niggas did in the interview. Yeah, out there in Doha and Doha's and Qatar and yeah, they were like, dude, we just felt like y'all like everybody stopped caring about us, like we over here like damn, like nobody cared no more. And they was home and really that like the rest
of the Arab nations would jump in. They was like, look, you know, maybe we could maybe we could get y'all to get active because y'all, y'all act the real soft right now, like like you don't forgot who you was, y'all finna jump in or what? And of course we saw up there, we saw Hesbela jump in a little bit.
But Hesbela like nigga, that beef, that beef where it overlapped.
Like up the go line, like that's where it kind of matters to us. But I mean, damn, nigga, we ain't ask you. You ain't have to blow up a music festival home.
Like shit, they've geeked down cuz. But they figured if damn if like if everybody jump.
In, like maybe they could see that like, yo, we take five, you know, I mean you can't. You ain't finna take all of us. You can't kill us all. You ain't gonna fight us all off.
You know. That's that was they thought.
Then maybe like well, shit, man, maybe people start caring a little bit about what we're doing, you know, kind of what we're going through, you know, and maybe y'all could like like a nigga at least far at least at least at least remove the settlements like that, you know, at least nigga, like damn man, at least like can we run our own can we run our own utilities? Bro?
Like shit, you know, at least.
They thought maybe it would give them an option, because they weren't no closer on October sixth than they were the seventh to any sort of solution or peace. It was just kind of like it is what it is. Israel was just moving on making their deals. It was just like, no, you haven't you ever been in a relationship with somebody that did you dirty?
And then just kind of was like lets some time go by, and then.
Just kind of moved on, and it's like, nigga, are you gonna address the shit that you just did?
Like is you finel like? And then fool be like, oh why you bringing up all stuff? Ah? Like would you mean Robert.
Start knocking over stuff in the house Like nah, cuz like we're finna deal with this.
Is out? Oh. Ben was really with it and wanted all that.
Now here's the part that I'm like, you can believe like take about seventy five to eighty percent of what they say to be like word, you know, so then.
If you ask you push back.
You're like, y'all, what about like the civilian shit like y'all not like y'all ain't I mean, it's it's it's Israeli's in Palestine, like y'all, y'all just lightening up civilians over here, and they like, no, 're not, we ain't kill no civilians.
It's like nigga, yes you what, yes, you had you know? So that's one side.
And then he'd be like, well if they did, you know, I mean niggas die every day like okay, fam like yeah, now y'all, okay, now now we're back to reality here.
And then they and then you like and then if.
You push them, then they push them a little further and uh and and they ask them like, yo, well what about what about Israeli's Like you knew they was gonna come and just millywop y'all like you don't feel no responsibility, Like look, anything Israel do is on them, how they handle themselves. We can't control how they handle themselves. We just needed y'all to know, like y'all gonna stop playing with us. And this, my friend, is why I say this is I have no answer, and smarter people
have tried. I just have no answer. My only answer is like I said before like, Nigga, we got an outlaw. We need that. We need an outlaw. We need an outlaw. Countries, nations. I don't know, fam, I don't know. I was out with some homies, uh, working on some coffee stuff, and we was talking about the homies. I'm doing a coffee collab with out in Greenville, the spot called Bridge City.
They won roaster of the Year, so shout out my man Brandon Cebrook black roaster out there and Greg white Boy to run to thank gregs Domomie man.
He loves it.
Anyway, we was talking about, like, yo, if you had a chance to go be on the first sort of village to Mars in Mars, would you go? I was like, I ain't going on the first one. You said, I go on the second or third one. I ain't going on the first one. You're not finna figure this out with me. The homie was like, Nigga one hundred percent. Yeah, I'm gonna get there, fix me a crater, you know, to steal the water and start charging taxes for everybody
else to come. He like, Nigga is land. Cuse nobody here. I'm not displacing nobody. This is open free land. I'm staking claim, right. He was like, that's what the white people did. They just staked they claim on their land and then charged everybody else. And look, I'm not that bad. Ain't nobody here, But when y'all get here, you go. I got all the way.
I've been here. I've been here thirty years. I figured out the water where that I know where the oxygen is. Nigga, you can pay me.
I was like, because you just gonna repeat the shit that we just left break out. He was like, look, hearts of men are wicked. Who can know it? The hearts of bad are deceitful. Nigga, we need a savior. Your saying I bought his sin. Oh boy, this is what we doing. That's what I'm doing. I'm gonna make that bread.
It's my land. I was here first. That's my land. I licked it.
There's just another gold rush, like the poem I gave y'all. But the thing is like, once you do that, I'm like, Nigga is mars. I would get there and be like, this shit ain't yours. Cus, what the hell is you talking about? It's a polar ice cap right there. I'm just gonna chunk off some nigga, get the hell.
Out of my way talking about taxes. Nigga, did you make Mars? Fuck at you?
Saying, and the only way for him to protect that ice is he gotta build a fence. And then he got to arm himself to make sure that everybody who looking at him like you done lost your damn mind.
You're talking about this is yours? You just drew. He said, look, you remember you was kids and you.
Draw to use your heel to draw the back of the to draw in the dirt, and the heel your heel and just drag your foot and be like, don't cross this line.
He's like, that's what I'm gonna do.
I was like, yo, that's my literal poem, making up lines than screaming mine into newly formed oxygen, Like you really finna do it? And it's like and I was like, yo, you just you just created violence and sectarianism on Mars by doing that. So I don't we got a terraformed baby anyway? What was some mads thinking? Even though Israel's like you take one, we take five? The mosque was like, I remember us, okay?
Was it right?
Who am I to say? I don't I don't know no K and O W and n O there's both.
I know.
Is Israel response just about nigga? What the hell kind of question is that?
I just all I know is one hundred seventy eight babies a day. You feel me, you feel me? You feel me.
Now think for this next season, I'm gonna start doing these like just politics and history lessons and just to understand what stuff is. So this one's gonna be about foreign policy and around normalizing relations. So this is the but look, it's like this section. So Matt makes some music for that.
But look, it's like this bull look is like this bull look is like this bull look is like this bullief is like this.
There it is so right now, you know, election season people talk about obviously foreign relations is in foreign policy is like it is on everybody's docket for debate, like this is what like And right now the Republicans are in such a like their brain is everywhere.
They can't figure out how they feel about anything.
So some of them are like, yo, how can I be the most hawkish, the most like carpet bomb and.
Then how come?
But then the other side, another poat you got to look at is the way that you know, trumping them run, which is their isolationists. They're like, look America first, nigga, I'm not finna stand bread over there. Look Ukraine, you on your own, nigga, which is so weird to hear the party that's usually like, we need to go stamp out terrorism everywhere and spread freedom and democracy across the world. We are the shining light, the city on the hill
for the world. But now they like, nigga, get your own, like we got.
Shit we need to take care of here.
And this is what's interesting about the black vote and why it's starting to shift a little more, because black people in a lot of ways, oh by and large, are pretty much nativists, and not not in the in the Trump sense, but in the sense of like because the Trump sense is racist, but in a sense.
That's like.
You got like Tupac, you got money for wars, but can't feed the poor.
They like, nigga, we poor here you spending money to just like now, we got our own problems. Right.
So a good example of how to understand this is like China and Taiwan.
So here here's your lesson.
We've done an episode on this before, and the question about Like I mentioned earlier about normalizing relations, China doesn't want us to recognize Taiwan as a real country, but Taiwan is essentially an ally of ours, Like we actually we fuck with Taiwan. We kind of like we fuck with China just because kind of we have to, right, But will we really mess with We mess with Taiwan
because we understand their whole history. And again a quick refresher, China had a civil war and Shang Kai shek was the leader of the Rebellion Party right who tried to take down the government.
They were losing, and rather.
Than just like signing off and just falling off, they fled to the island of Taiwan, right, and then was like, we'll forget it. We'll just start our own China and we'll be the real China. So Taiwan's name is actually the Republic of China, right, while China in China that we not it is called the People's Republic of China.
Right.
That's the communist version air quotes right, and Taiwan's the democratic version air quotes right. So the attitude is China is like they're not a real country, they're the losers. Stop talking to them. Everybody listen, nobody play with Taiwan. Now here's my question, now here, here's here's a way
to look at it. Now if if I was on the debate stage again, this has to do it again, normalizing relations, right, and when a lot of times when it comes to normalizing relations, it means you in the middle of somebody's personal beat, right, And that's exactly what's happening with like Israel and Palestin, like this this day thing, and you could have an opinion, but you gotta look at each You gotta look at each situation uniquely, right. So one way is this it's like you have you
ever had a friend break up? You know, you had to you had to use with a with a couple, a friend couple they broke up with, you know, even worse if they was divorced. And you might have an opinion as to who's technically right about this situation, like which one of y'all you really actually agree with, which one of y'all don't. But you know what, y'all, y'all both my friends all. Look look y'all, both my friends.
I know y'all went through something, but I like, honestly, you can't really know what happened between them because you weren't there. You're not in their relation ship. You don't really know what's happening. Ergo, you wasn't outside.
You wasn't really you weren't really there.
You can only know. You can have your opinions. But listen, y'all, both my friends. And unless somebody really get out of pocket with some like war crimes or some like famine or just gross violence, like if one of them beating the shit out the other, that's a different story, but it's if it's in general, just like y'all just don't get along no more. I look, look, I ain't gonna tell I'm getting money with both of y'all. Okay, I love both of y'all. I'm just gonna stay out of
it now. Basically that's kind of been America's stance with China and Taiwan.
It's like, look, I'm getting money with both of y'all. I don't.
I have my opinions, but look, you know, I just I stay out of it. We we good, you know, Just I just I don't want to cause no problem. Right.
That's basically how America be, and usually that's fine. You know, most couples understand that. Most couples understand. Okay, I get it, yet you know you weren't there, you know, But i'ma make my argument.
But if one of y'all start saying, well, you can't hang with me if you hang out with them, and if I'm America, I would be like, listen, I don't that don't sit right with me. I don't like nobody telling me who I can hang out with.
I don't like all that.
You know, my friends is who I'm getting money with, who I'm getting money with. And and in this situation, that's China, China telling the world like you can't fuck with us if you fuck with them, and like look that you know what homeboy and low key you was you in the wrong and y'all's breakup. You the one that's actually wrong. And I ain't even saying nothing because we both getting money, you know, like slow your role, fam.
Like I really, I actually don't really fuck with you. I just know we gotta have to. But when the grand scheme of things, cause if it do.
Go down with them, as America has promised, we said we would defend Taiwan.
Now why would we do that? Is it principled, Nigga.
Taiwan make all the chips, all the processing chips in.
Everything we got.
Do you got something in your house that has a screen on it, that got a ledlight?
Nigga? You're watching machine nigga?
Yo, the door lock nigga, anything it's got a chip in it, and that chip was made in Taiwan. So I'm like, if I gotta choose, I would tell you who I'm a ride with, because I'm looking at Tina. China is like, yeah, I buy a lot of your appliances, but none of your appliances it's gonna work if it ain't got a chip in it.
We can figure out a factory in Mexico. That's what we're doing right now.
So I'm like, low key, like, y'all need to like really chill, and do you really want to smoke with Taiwan Nigga. Your whole bomb stopped working cause your bombs just ran by chips too, So like, look, I think it would behoove you like, don't look, man, don't make it we your last friend. I know you fucking with Russia. I know Russia your friend right now, but Russia don't love you. Y'all just share a border, so like slow down, know your place and lets everybody make this money.
What I just explained to you is diploma seed and what our position is which in Taiwan.
