You just gonna let that man talk to you about you.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Hear what this man said.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I know I wouldn't let that ride. Hey, hey on
dead homies, that man need to run. That man fade. Unfortunately,
it's a timelinor tradition to make sure that your homeboys fight. Uh,
and it's usually the person that's standing on the other side.
(00:36):
Let let's make this a little more a little less particular.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
The West coast Cali, La.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You know what I'm saying, Uh, and surrounding areas grew
up in our grew up.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
In our environment.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
But just you know, television guys is you know, y'all
kids don't be fighting like we fought like I know
I sound like an old dude, but like y'all we
used to.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
We would just be fighting. You just throw hands.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I'm getting on a tagent here, but a lot of
times it'd be over after that. You got somebody, you
got a issue where y'all not stringing it along on
social media, dropping all these sneak dishes and let's just.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Fight, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Anyway, I'm not saying that's good or bad. I'm just
saying that's what will happen. We will be fighting, and unfortunately,
as we know in the reality of UFC and mm A,
fights are entertaining. I hate to say it, and then
some people just be blood thirsty, and that be the
dude in your ear and something that you might have
(01:38):
possibly let go. It really wasn't as serious as ya
hommie is making it. It's really not that serious. But
I fool in your ear so he could run by
and be like, oh you see that man, You ran
that boy fast? My dog right, So then you get
to celebrate, y'all saying, And then it made the dude
instigating the thing look good.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
You feel me? It's oftentimes it is.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
What I'm saying is it's but it's for the benefit
of a person on the side who ain't got to
actually run that fade or catch it.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And many a good young man.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Got dog walked because somebody on the side said, you're
finna letting people disrespect you like that, causing a whole situation,
a whole who shot John and now you got problems
and everybody that was watching it really don't understand what
went down. And yeah, sometimes, as you know, the comic says,
(02:37):
some people just want to see the world lead. Other
times it's because the instigator has a stake in the
winner loser, or the fact that y'all are being violent. Okay,
And this is why could politics exist, because it's exactly
(03:01):
what's going on in Morocco and Spain hood politics, y'all.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So check this out.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You may or may not have seen what would be
literally the perfect example of the politics all over right
wing media were hordes of Moroccans invading the border, taking
down fences into Spain, and right wing media was using
(03:42):
that to say that this is what happens, this is
what the left wants if we open our borders, just
the hordes of people coming into our country. Now, two
things should come up with you. First, First of all,
you should say to yourself, but prop what fence Spain
(04:07):
is on the other side of the Mediterranean. How is
there a border that they could cross when it's on
the other side of the Mediterranean Morocco and Africa, Spain
is in Europe. And I can answer that question for you.
That's the first question. You would say, Well, there's an
(04:30):
area right off the eastern tip of Morocco, a little tiny,
little sliver of land called Sueta.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now, this little.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Teenye sliver of land is what we would call a
Spanish enclave. It's let's be real, if we want to
be real about it, it's an occupied territory. It's a
part of land that y'all just made up a line
and screamed to mind, it's just an occupied territory. I
was able to build a fence. But essentially it's in
(05:03):
a lot of ways. It's big West Bank and Gaza
Energy in reverse, right they just I can get to
the history as to how they got to that, but
it's this chunk of actually Morocco that is claimed as
sovereign land for Spain. That'd be the first question. And
(05:26):
then secondly you would be like, I wonder what made
that happen? And why is it on the news?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
What happened? Like what's going on? I'll tell you exactly
what happened. America, the US was in their ears also,
like you're finna letting people talk to you like that,
And that's what we're gonna talk about. All right, here
we go, So let's start cooking. First of all, on
(06:32):
a personal note, Morocco is one of my favorite places
on Earth.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
It is, I like top five.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I wouldn't move to Cassarat, to Casablanca, a Marrakesh. Tangiers
is a little busy robot that's the capital. But like
and Tangiers is a little a little touristy.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
But it's Africa on the Mediterranean.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
So it's a Muslim country in the way that America
is a Christian country, like Nigga kind of.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Like I mean, it is a modern, beautiful if you're
in a mountain climbing, you could go there, right. It
has a lot of French influence, Okay, so a lot
of the bazaars and stuff like that, like when you
go to the nice restaurants. Most people there are even
the bear bear tribes like a lot of them. They
speak their native tongue, they speak English and they speak French.
(07:32):
They have an Arab look to them because of I mean,
it's North Africa, right if they get all four seasons.
It's on the tip of the Sahara. So but again
it's on the Mediterranean. If you were to go to Spain,
look at me talking like a rich white person. The
next time you're in Spain, you go down to Coasta
del Soul, right, so Cordova and Coasta del Soul, which
(07:54):
is right at the tip right before it becomes Portugal
going west, but going south is just the Mediterranean. See,
it's a ninety minute boat ride into ten Iers, right,
and then you can go byself. Cool little bracelets, you know,
make sure you don't get pickpocketed. But it's it's it's
it's beautiful. So I could see why Spain is like, well,
(08:14):
we want to we want a piece of this.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So I have a personal love for Morocco. But one
thing that's weird as far as we're concerned about Morocco
is uh, they kind of took Israel side. They're one
of the few countries in the Swana area, which is
Southwest Asian North African. Right, that's what y'all will call
the Middle East, which is like middle to what you
(08:40):
feel me you're still centering Europe when you call it
the Middle East. So anyway of that world, they wanted
a few countries that like was willing to normalize relations
with Egypt.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Now, I did an episode.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
A long time ago about what it means to have normalization,
especially when y'all remember when Nancy Pelosi slid down to Taiwan,
You feel me and China got real mad. Right, It's
because we're not supposed to normalize our relations. Basically, what
we're saying is, we're not supposed to recognize you as
one of us. Just like how I feel about a Franklin.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Graham.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
The only Franklin I recognize is Kirk. That's for the
church folk. Now, speaking of the church folk, another thing
about Morocco is if you grew up in the in
the in the YadA Daboci, you grew up, you grew
up shondo, and like me, you supposed to know what
the Holy Spirit feel like. And this was a crack
in my understanding that really opened up my world because
(09:42):
I was in this Muslim country experiencing the type of hospitality,
joy and peace that's supposed to only come from the
gathering of the saints.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Right, But I ain't never felt the warmth, the love,
the sense of community and fa family and belonging, all
the things that we say, this means God's present, this
means all the spirit here. I experienced that in Morocco
(10:11):
with all these Muslims, which said to me it's something
going on that's hired in my pay grade or the
theology I was handed. That's all I'm trying to say.
So anyway, Morocco for me personally cracked open a lot.
But for some reason that really can't explain, they just
mess with Israel. Now, first off, before we get to
(10:33):
how America got into their ears, let's talk about this
particular enclave.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
So according to.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Time magazine, this thing called the AEI, which I will
explain to you, which is insane. What this thing I'm
about to show you is and the person that wrote
it the American Enterprise Institute. Wait, I tell you who
these people are. Anyway we talk about has happened. So
in nineteen seventy five, Spain sought desperately to either hold
(11:07):
on the western Sahara colony that it had seized decades before,
or at least transferred into a proxy by putting hand
pick leaders in charge, no matter that whether they had
any local legitimacy. So again, sweat, that is a small
Spanish territory on the Moroccan northern coast, and it's separated
(11:29):
from Maineland China or mainland China. While I'm so used
to say that mainland Spain, So it's on African soil
across from the Strait of Gibraltar. Now again, church folk,
y'all know a rock of Gibraltar, y'a saying this is
a strait at Gibraltar. It's the same area, okay. Anyway,
along with Meliya, it's the only European Union's land border
(11:54):
within Africa, and because of its location, it's long been
a place for migrants seeking entry into the EU. So
if you're in Africa you're trying to get to the EU,
the quickest way to do it, especially if you in
Morocco or Northern Africa, is just go to this little
teeny tip because it's kind of like an enclave. Now,
Spain had a bigger, like you know, colony over there,
(12:18):
but these Africans weren't having it. And but before the
Africans weren't having it, the Arab nations who actually.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Populated North Africa.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Some would argue colonized, but I think colonized a little different.
It's a little different scenario. A lot of thing, a
lot of it had to do was just normal migration,
and then their numbers got big. But I'm not there.
That's state hood. I let them explain it. It's just
they got there before us. That's why when you look
at Egyptians you like they're not black. It's like nigga
what So Anyway, in the business inspier Insider, they have
(12:52):
an article about this situation. But like Spain had strengthened
its borders along this line over recent years and worked
with Morocco to try to curb illegal immigration and crossings.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They just had a rule where if you get there
by water, which is why people are swimming across the
other side, then you can get your particular asylum situation
set up a lot quicker.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Now here's the thing. This isn't new.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
According to Time magazine, it says Thursday's events did not
begin without warning. Visas when speaking to one of their
immigration officers, said arrivals from across Morocco have overwhelmed the
city social services and security apparatuses over the past few days,
with more than three hundred people per day. To give
(13:43):
you an idea of that scale, the rest of to
the rest of Spain, this is the equivalent of two
percent of Sweatus population. It's like a million people entering
Spain irregularly. But the crisis bucks the trend for the
rest of Spain, where irregular arrivals fell from seventeen thousand,
nine hundred and ninety in the first six months of
(14:07):
twenty twenty five to twelve thousand, one hundred and thirty
eight in the same point in twenty twenty six. Right,
so basically it's an increase of one hundred and sixty
four percent. But people are really unclear as to why
this particular event happened right now, right, But I have thoughts.
(14:31):
The first thought, which is the most front facing one,
is the June twenty ninth ruling that I just talked about.
It was by the Spain Supreme Court that stopped authorities
from summarily returning migrants who revived to Suetan and Melia
by sea, at least without due process, while it did
(14:53):
not recognize irregular jury or guarantee that those swimmers could
remain in Spain. The rulings spread through Morocco social media
and reportedly prompting people to try to enter Spain by swimming.
That's why the videos have mad people coming through the side,
which is like, basically, you're not gonna get turned back.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
At the border. You could go immediately.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
So a lot of the Spain authorities is like, y'all,
there's some human trafficking stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Flood the zone. We're good.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
And then watching this go on, you got America being like,
see there, see their Spain. I wouldn't let this ride.
I can't believe you letting people do you like that, y'all,
finna just let these people do that. But what people
don't know is, like I said, the American Enterprise.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Institute next, all.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Right, we're back.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So the American Enterprise Institute is a lobbying group from
the center right in America. And not only was this
a few days a few months ago, it is a
good way to argue that this is exactly what went down.
So this center right organization, this brother named Michael Rubin,
who's a senior fellow at this particular place, wrote this
(16:45):
commentary on this lobbying group's website, American Enterprise Institute. It
says Spain's Pedro Sanchez should make good on his anti
colonial rhetoric and in its occupation of Africa.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Okay, I'm with him so far.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
He said, King asign the second checkmated. This was the
King of Morocco. Checkmated Madrid's ambitions. In November sixth, nineteen
seventy five, approximately thirty five three hundred and fifty thousand
unarmed Moroccans simply marched into the Sahara. They waved Moroccan
(17:21):
flags and carried the Qur'an. Spanish floss stood down. Then
just a week later, Spain signed the Madrid Accords, in
which Spain, Morocco, and Martarena agreed to respect the view
of local populations. Spain agreed to withdraw from the territory
and end at the end of the following February I
(17:42):
sign The second had history on his side. The region
was Moroccan for more than a millennia before Spain's imperial arrival.
Feels like we should be rocking with him forever right now. Right,
Moroccans have internal debate debates, but sovereignty over the territories
that European colonists sees is not one. Previously Moroccans hundredth
(18:06):
Durham note commemorated the Green March.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Now here's where it gets ill.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
This is America talking with Spain's socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez,
embracing the language of decolonization. Spain socialist leader, right, Muhammad
the Second should reclaim the spirit of the Green March
and finalize his expulsion of the colonists in Moroccan soil. Sweta,
a Mayea, Melia might be relatively tiny towns, but they
(18:38):
represent an illegitimate beachhead at the home of approximately one
hundred and seventy thousand Spanish settlers.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
They are a weak spot.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
For the European security since African immigrants regularly rush defense
and claim asylum. Moroccans should gather and send bulldozers on
the border. Sweetsap or yeah, sweat that and I'm saying
their names wrong. And maliyas unarmed to raise the flag.
(19:10):
Sanchez and the Spanish press blet but have no grounds
to act for that matter with NATO, even if Moroccan
forces entered into the towns to restore order and organize
and dishpat settlers in the Strait of Gibraltar and back
to Spain.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So this is what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
America is telling Morocco, you should just storm those borders
and claim back your land. If Spain's leader is such
a socialist, why as you holding on.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
To this land. Won't you give up this land? Mister socialists.
And do you see what he cooking here?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Do you know any center right organization that is a
pro socialist? And you think of any center right organization
that would tell you to storm.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
A border like have you been around? Like, don't this
smell weird?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
A hard agree Spain don't have no right being there,
hard degree, I ain't got no problem with knocking down
border walls. But why you saying that? What do you
gain from this?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I tell you Spain recognized Palestine. Spain wouldn't let America
shoot their missiles from their base to Iran. Spain ain't
want no parts of this war Morocco. They support Israel.
(20:46):
Do you see the tom foolery happening here? Do you
see the win win situation for America?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Right here?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
You're finna let them people talk to you? Are you
finna let them people cross your border? A cu you
should go cross that border, homie. And then on the
other side, hey, honey, you're finna let them people cross
your border?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Like that?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Who wins? Who winds? I punish you for not siding
with me. I look like the good guy because I'm
encouraging a revolution. And then I get to get on
TV and tell the American people the very opposite thing.
I'm telling them, Moroccans, we need secure borders. You are
(21:26):
the same people that told them to storm the border.
Are you folling with me?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
This?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Y'all? This some hood stuff? Do you like?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
You see what I'm trying to say? You see what
he cooking? Bruh, it's a setup. Neither one of them
win in his mug. And what's crazy is Nigga you
wrote it. I'm reading it from his website. Moroccans should gather,
send bulldozers to the border and then enter Like you,
(22:01):
y'all the same people that say Trump should build a wall,
yet you're telling them.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Do you see it? Do you see the play? And
my theory is.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Oh, this because you won't let us shoot at it ran?
Oh you got you got an issue with us shooting
at a ran? Okay, I got you, cuz. And then
look it, if it come Morocco, we get to shoot
from there because Morocco on our side. Now, how do
I know a lot of this is uh is astro turfed?
Let me tell you how because check this out of
(22:33):
the sixty thousand people that breached that border, forty eight
thousand have gone home already.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
It wasn't it really wasn't that serious. They will stirred up.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Now do I sound like I gotta I gotta a
tenfoil hat on? May I remind you of multa deck.
I need you to go back and listen to them episodes.
This is what we do. So if you want to
know what's going on with that situation, just think about
it like this. America was the person on the side
of the fight that was like, hey, Homy, you finna
letting people talk you that way? And then went to
the other side and said, hey, homey, you hear what
(23:06):
that man said about your mama. I wouldn't let that
ride hood politics, y'all. All right, now, don't you hit
