  I'm glad you said that because I was about to say, who the hell is that?
• 0:46
  Anyway, what's good, bro? Oh, nothing much, man. Just having to deal with these

• 1:11
  indiana well you'd be out in it out
• 1:14
  in it so yeah definitely got to stay on top of it yeah it's crazy bro so anyway
• 1:19
  what we getting into today so today we want to talk about the conflict from
• 1:25
  1994 in Rwanda in April of 1994 in Rwanda.
• 1:32
  All right, bro, go ahead and kick us off.
• 1:35
  So we're going to cover a variety of issues with it, why it started,
• 1:42
  who started it, what kind of set the tone for it decades beforehand.
• 1:50
  The pre-colonization, the Hutus and the Tutsis were class, not considered a race.
• 1:58
  Right. It was all about what you had and what you didn't have.
• 2:02
  Right. Similar to how we are here.
• 2:04
  I think they went by the 10 cow rule, depending on if you were,
• 2:09
  you know, the Hutu was a working class and then the Tutsis were considered the upper class.
• 2:15
  Yeah. So they they they even though they were different tribes, they shared the land.
• 2:22
  The Tutsis were basically cattle owners.
• 2:26
  The Hutus were the farmers and that's how they lived. And it was, hey, you want a cow?
• 2:33
  Give me some vegetation.
• 2:36
  And they got along. They even intermarried. And if you got to 10 plus cows,
• 2:41
  you could change classes.
• 2:43
  You consider rich. Absolutely. To become a Tutsi.
• 2:46
  So it wasn't until, what, 1933, the ID card system, which is wild in the research.
• 2:56
  I didn't realize that somebody, you know, from the Belgian hierarchy,
• 3:02
  they would send people, man, they would measure eye shape, nose,
• 3:08
  they would use calipers,
• 3:11
  noses, heights, and eye shape to permanently classify citizens.
• 3:17
  Think about that. We go from pre-colonization before Germany, before Belgium.
• 3:25
  We can prosper, we can grow we can live peacefully and then they show up and
• 3:31
  go nah, let's go ahead and do.
• 3:34
  We want to separate you guys. We want to be able to pull out an ID card,
• 3:38
  which is so funny because now today you hear little rumblings here and there
• 3:42
  of them talking about making sure that people carry passports in this country. Right.
• 3:49
  Yes, you are on point with the identity cards, but that in itself wasn't the
• 3:56
  reason for the conflict, so to speak.
• 3:58
  No, no, no, no, no. This was I'm going back. OK, OK.
• 4:02
  All right. Where the actual, where it all started. Okay. Okay.
• 4:07
  All right. Because, I mean, when you take, I mean, you take somebody from class
• 4:11
  to race, it's a whole, well, of course, you know, Eastern Europeans have a history
• 4:15
  of classifying people by race. So it's a whole different story.
• 4:20
  No, I was just, I'm going to let you cook until we get to where the conflict
• 4:25
  actually started. Gotcha.
• 4:27
  So, the power flip.
• 4:30
  1959, there were a lot of movements throughout Africa.
• 4:34
  And the Belgians flipped support to the Hutu majority. Most Tutsis fled to Uganda.
• 4:42
  Right. And this is where the conflict actually started. They the Belgians preferred.
• 4:49
  Was it the Tutsis over the Hutus?
• 4:53
  Yeah, because of the class. And and and and they basically made them the second class citizens.
• 5:00
  And they were instigating, for lack of a better term, the beef between the two,
• 5:05
  which is a classic divide and conquer strategy, which has been used throughout history.
• 5:13
  And I mean, that's basically what it was, a divide and conquer.
• 5:17
  We're going to come in, we're going to make you guys fight each other.
• 5:20
  And then you won't be focused on the real enemy, which was the Belgians or any
• 5:27
  colonizer at that time. Which I'm going to get to that now.
• 5:30
  So the 70s and 80s, Rwanda was considered stable.
• 5:35
  However, most of the northern Hutu elites kept all of the riches and the wealth
• 5:42
  from the southern Hutus.
• 5:45
  Because remember, a lot of Tutsis were in Uganda at the time. Right.
• 5:49
  So in 1989, coffee prices crashed, a famine hit the South, and the IMF loans
• 5:58
  caused skyrocketing inflation.
• 6:00
  The country was starving, desperate, so on and so forth.
• 6:04
  So from 1990 to 1994, this gets left out a lot.
• 6:09
  In 90, Tutsi rebels, which was the RPF, invaded from Uganda. Mm-hmm.
• 6:17
  The government uses as a distraction from the, you know, the economic poverty.
• 6:22
  Like, man, they invading our country.
• 6:24
  We got to defend ourselves. So now the poor southerners, we need to defend ourselves.
• 6:29
  For anyone who's trying to follow along, if we didn't say it,
• 6:34
  we're talking about Rwanda.
• 6:36
  All right. I know we're mentioning the Hutus and the Tutsis a lot,
• 6:40
  but we're talking about Rwanda and how the whole Rwandan genocide started or came to be.
• 6:48
  So that's the main topic of discussion here. I just wanted to put that out there
• 6:53
  to make it plain in case anyone was getting lost and thinking,
• 6:56
  what the hell are these guys talking about? We're talking about the Rwandan genocide.
• 7:01
  Yes, you are 100% right about the RPF and the Civil War.
• 7:05
  And it it it started the dehumanization
• 7:11
  campaign and this is
• 7:15
  when uh it's not funny none of this is funny but when the tutsis start calling
• 7:21
  the hutus cockroaches and all of that stuff and i know some of you guys know
• 7:25
  are probably familiar was it was it okay who twos uh were calling the The Tutsis.
• 7:31
  The Tutsis. The Tutsis, okay.
• 7:32
  Yeah. Yeah, and you guys are probably familiar with this story.
• 7:35
  And all of that all stemmed from what we were discussing previously with the
• 7:42
  Belgians coming in and creating a power dynamic and separating the people and
• 7:48
  choosing one side over the other,
• 7:51
  which really fueled the conflict.
• 7:54
  So here are a couple things based on what you just said a few minutes ago.
• 7:58
  So the Northern elite, the propaganda
• 8:02
  united the South. Here's where the craziness starts, in my opinion.
• 8:07
  Unemployed Hutu men were promised land, cattle, and homes of any Tutsi they killed.
• 8:13
  And the government framed the killings as mandatory community labor.
• 8:21
  Mandatory. A genocide is a mandatory community labor. Mandatory.
• 8:28
  That's crazy, bro. That's wild.
• 8:31
  Mandatory that you go kill somebody. Now, what really sparked it all off,
• 8:36
  the 100 days of what they call 100 days of slaughter, when the president's plane
• 8:41
  was shot down on April 6th of 94.
• 8:45
  And immediately the RTLM, which is the radio station that many people who have
• 8:49
  ever watched the movie are familiar with, that would just, they immediately
• 8:54
  blamed the RDF, et cetera, et cetera.
• 8:58
  Which is where the cockroach comment actually originates from.
• 9:02
  It's from that radio station.
• 9:04
  Go ahead, go ahead, bro. Keep going. And another word, the term that they used
• 9:07
  was to clear the brush, which was a code word for, well, it's not even a code word.
• 9:13
  Just go kill them. Clear the brush. Yeah. Kill them.
• 9:17
  So they went out armed with machetes and clubs, and nearly one million people
• 9:22
  were murdered in a hundred days.
• 9:24
  So let's let's backtrack a little bit in the story, because I think something
• 9:28
  important needs to be stated for the records.
• 9:33
  They didn't know who shot that plane down. No. But they started fighting within hours.
• 9:40
  They immediately blamed.
• 9:42
  Was it the Hutus? They blamed the Tutsis. I keep getting them mixed up.
• 9:47
  But anyway, they did. So do I. I know.
• 9:50
  It's so, yeah. Which is kind of why I feel like we need someone from the diaspora
• 9:55
  to actually guide us through this episode.
• 9:57
  But we don't have that, so I'm going to keep going.
• 10:00
  But yeah, they didn't even wait for an investigation.
• 10:03
  They just immediately assumed they did it. Let's go get our revenge.
• 10:08
  They hit the radio waves within minutes. Yeah.
• 10:11
  Yeah. Nuts. Nuts. The whole thing could have been a lie.
• 10:15
  Maybe was a lie. I mean, because they never even investigated.
• 10:18
  They still don't know who did it.
• 10:20
  It's crazy. The biggest thing for me in all of this, and we'll keep going.
• 10:25
  So if it seems like we're jumping around, we'll get back to what we're talking
• 10:29
  about. how the rest of the world, specifically us, just sat back and watched it.
• 10:37
  Here's the crazy part, though, in my research.
• 10:40
  If you go back and look at press conferences from Clinton and any other person
• 10:45
  in the White House administration at that time, they would always say acts of genocide.
• 10:51
  Because as soon as you mention that it is a genocide based on UN accords,
• 10:57
  you are legally and morally obligated to send troops in.
• 11:02
  But when you say acts of genocide, you're not saying genocide.
• 11:07
  And also in some of those old clips, a couple of reporters called out Joint
• 11:13
  Chiefs of Staff and caught them off guard in those press conferences and they
• 11:17
  would abruptly end the press conferences.
• 11:19
  And most of this because people forget just six months prior was a Black Hawk Downs situation.
• 11:25
  But we are never quick to engage when it's a conflict on the diaspora.
• 11:34
  It's always, it's not our fight. Let's stay out of it.
• 11:38
  Especially this, after Black Hawk Down and that debacle. Yeah.
• 11:42
  Yeah, it's always, oh yeah, it's terrible what's happening, but it's not our fight.
• 11:47
  I mean, that's just the way that they operate as opposed to other countries.
• 11:53
  We can't wait to stick our nose in and try and police the world.
• 11:57
  But like you were saying, that is kind of off topic and probably another story
• 12:02
  for another podcast. Yeah, it is.
• 12:04
  What's crazy, too, is on day one of it, 10 Belgian peacekeepers were killed
• 12:09
  because they knew, the Hutu extremists knew, and if they start seeing that,
• 12:14
  people will back out because they can't engage.
• 12:18
  You know, Nick Nolte's character, who was loosely based on the Canadian general.
• 12:25
  Was he a general? We'll get to that. Let's hold off on that. We'll get to that.
• 12:30
  We do our movie review no no but i'm still talking about the actual okay okay
• 12:34
  okay okay so the general was his name general dalir i believe he was the one that sent over,
• 12:42
  the facts to tell him what was happening and in return they took his force from 2500,
• 12:48
  peacekeepers to 270 let them kill each other basically to let them kill each
• 12:54
  other let them It sounds like,
• 13:00
  especially for me, I'm stumbling through this.
• 13:04
  It's because all of these years later, researching this and then just seeing
• 13:09
  and, you know, hearing like this. This was ridiculous.
• 13:13
  We lived like we would see it on the news. It could have been avoided.
• 13:17
  The entire thing could have been avoided. That's the that's the ridiculous part
• 13:22
  of it is none of it actually had to take place. Right.
• 13:27
  And the world allowed it.
• 13:29
  But, as history has shown us, when it's people with increased melanin,
• 13:35
  I mean, that's kind of how they get down. They'll let it happen.
• 13:41
  Us, they just don't care. I mean, history proves that they just don't care.
• 13:48
  Unless it's something that they can gain economically, financially,
• 13:53
  some land, some resources, some minerals, unless it's something that they can
• 13:58
  gain, they just don't care, man.
• 14:01
  And it's still happening today. Oh, right now. Oh, for sure.
• 14:06
  What doesn't get brought up enough, I don't think, is the fact that leading
• 14:11
  up to this conflict, starting in 1990, you know who was providing weapons and
• 14:16
  supporting the Hutu government? France.
• 14:20
  It took until 2021 for them to finally acknowledge, you know what?
• 14:25
  We may have been indirectly responsible for this because of all the weapons
• 14:31
  and so on and so forth that we provided this country.
• 14:34
  Hot take, I'm about to get in trouble.
• 14:37
  Belgium France they're right there I mean it's kind of kind of the same,
• 14:43
  you don't get in trouble it's kind of the same you know what I'm saying it's
• 14:47
  oh hey it's just amazing how they get colonized by Germany and then Belgium
• 14:52
  comes along and it's the same shit mm-hmm.
• 14:56
  We so about to get off track but it's our show just the way that they they sliced
• 15:03
  up Africa and colonized it period It's ridiculous.
• 15:08
  There's a reason it happened. They saw the resources.
• 15:12
  No African country had any say-so. Just, all right, you're going to take this part.
• 15:19
  Hey, yo, what y'all want? Okay, y'all got to have that part.
• 15:22
  Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, what y'all want? Okay, y'all had that part.
• 15:25
  And it's like the Africans sitting there going, what the fuck?
• 15:30
  What about us? They had no say-so in it, bro.
• 15:34
  It's nuts how they took over an entire continent.
• 15:38
  Not a country, a continent. it. What's crazy is that most of the people,
• 15:42
  most of the Africans that they encountered during those times welcomed them with open arms.
• 15:47
  Oh, you're going to bring business here? Oh, you're going to mine our resources
• 15:52
  and make our country money? Sure.
• 15:54
  Nope. You know what they find? They find that the craziest SOB in the country,
• 15:58
  they put them in charge and they rule with an iron fist.
• 16:04
  And yes, there are some warlords, for lack of a better word,
• 16:08
  who are complicit in the savage takeover because you're right.
• 16:13
  They did just put who was the word puppet, I guess they put a puppet in place to. Yeah.
• 16:22
  Hey, you control your people. We'll make you rich and forget everybody else.
• 16:27
  And that's and that's kind of how the whole thing just got sacked.
• 16:31
  That almighty Dolly, you flashed that in front of somebody's face.
• 16:34
  There is a and I forget who it is. So I'm sorry if you're out there, if you're still living.
• 16:42
  But someone said one of those great African scholars, when they came with Christianity, they told us.
• 16:50
  No, no, I'm messing it up. When Christianity came to Africa,
• 16:54
  they came with Bibles and open arms, and they told us to put our heads down to pray.
• 17:03
  And when we lifted our heads back up, we had the Bibles and they had the land.
• 17:10
  And it's so true. It's crazy.
• 17:15
  So, so crazy. The, the crazy thing was too, is that journalists that were there,
• 17:20
  they were smashing cameras and so on and so forth.
• 17:23
  They, they left their cameras just to get out of there.
• 17:27
  And of course we'll get to it, but there, there are plenty of,
• 17:30
  of examples where even if the pictures would have been released,
• 17:34
  what would they have done?
• 17:36
  Right. And that's messed up. Right. And then gone about their day.
• 17:40
  Right. Now, we didn't feel that way. But at the same time, we would see it on
• 17:45
  the news and we knew what was happening.
• 17:47
  But that was it. Nobody in this government was talking about it crazy.
• 17:51
  But I do remember six months prior, the Black Hawk Down issue was on the news all day, every day.
• 18:00
  And we didn't even have 24 hour. Well, CNN existed.
• 18:03
  But we didn't really have 24 hour news like that back then. The only time CNN
• 18:07
  had live programming after, what, 10 o'clock was if there was like some crazy,
• 18:13
  like maybe the election was going on or there was something crazy going on.
• 18:16
  And I remember when Black Hawk Down was happening.
• 18:20
  It was all over the place.
• 18:22
  And then six months later, you have an actual genocide. A million people in 100 days.
• 18:29
  That's nuts. What if that had gone on a year? Yeah. I mean, complete annihilation, extermination.
• 18:38
  Going back, the French created a safe zone.
• 18:43
  I think it was something like 10 to 15,000 Tutsis made it to the safe zone.
• 18:50
  But they also allowed the people responsible for it to go through the safe zone and escape.
• 18:56
  Ain't that wild? And escape. Yeah, come on. You can come through here.
• 19:02
  The only thing that saved the Tutsis that went to the zone was the militias,
• 19:08
  that had blocked the roads and was checking IDs, they weren't allowed to come in with weapons.
• 19:13
  They tried to come into the safe zone, yeah.
• 19:16
  UN Peace Forces and the French would have killed them.
• 19:21
  Let's keep going, bro. It's insane,
• 19:25
  just how this happened, why it was allowed to happen, and even going,
• 19:29
  like I said, going back to 1933, creating an ID card system for people to take
• 19:34
  them from being separated in class to race.
• 19:39
  And then to be permanently through your father's bloodline, be labeled a Hutu or a Tutsi.
• 19:46
  You imagine being 10 years old and you're in school and some white dude from
• 19:49
  Belgium show up and start measuring your nose and your eyes. Oh no, this is a Tutsi.
• 19:57
  Which is crazy because like I stated, they were intermarrying.
• 20:01
  And then it was not allowed then it was not allowed correct so it's possible
• 20:08
  that someone could have had both bloodlines within them what do you do.
• 20:15
  Well, you get to tell me who I am? Man, kick rocks. From a whole nother country. Right.
• 20:21
  Kick rocks. The whole thing is wild, bro.
• 20:23
  But, you know, as terrible as the Rwandan genocide was, this was kind of just
• 20:31
  like the colonizers and more.
• 20:33
  They're responsible for, let me see, starting wars within Nigeria, the Biafran Civil War.
• 20:42
  They started the conflict in Kenya,
• 20:46
  the Mau Mau uprising And I want to say they started one with,
• 20:52
  yeah, the Sudanese Civil War Between the North and the South It was just what they did,
• 20:57
  bro They come in and, like I said,
• 21:00
  instigate a fight between the natives And keep them fighting each other while
• 21:07
  the real villain got away with all the land, all the riches.
• 21:14
  It's kind of like what we do here in America.
• 21:19
  Do you get these poor people not to focus on us? Put them against each other.
• 21:23
  Put them against each other. Let them fight over race.
• 21:26
  Hey, white man, you're better than the black man.
• 21:30
  Hey, black man, the white man did this, that, and that to you. He got all your stuff.
• 21:36
  Keep us fighting over something that's silly while they escape with all the riches.
• 21:43
  They drive away laughing and we out here fighting each
• 21:46
  other over nothing in the end we'll
• 21:48
  all still be poor it's the same
• 21:52
  demo it's the same strategy well you
• 21:55
  know the way that they've done it for years is is they pick
• 21:58
  one amendment which is the second amendment and it doesn't matter what part
• 22:01
  of this country you live in if you're a white republican rich or poor i gotta
• 22:06
  do it start talking about the second amendment and they got you yeah i mean
• 22:10
  they gonna take my guns or immigrants or oh yeah or immigrants Yeah.
• 22:16
  Throw immigrants in there. Boy, which is nuts. I mean, because a lot of people
• 22:20
  in this country who hate immigrants are, you know, second, third, removed descendants.
• 22:27
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Your great grandparents were probably immigrants.
• 22:31
  Your grandparents may even be immigrants.
• 22:34
  Hell, some of them, their parents are immigrants. And what's crazy is that it's always been spoke.
• 22:39
  People have spoken proudly of their Italian heritage. For sure.
• 22:44
  Of their Scottish heritage or whatever.
• 22:49
  Yeah. And now you want to gatekeep and not let anyone else come in. Come on, man.
• 22:56
  Knock it off. That's so silly. And anything else you want to touch on as far as.
• 23:01
  No, I think that's it. All right. Well, this was a this was a heavy hit and top. It is heavy.
• 23:08
  Let me see, because there was something that I wanted to touch on here real quick.
• 23:14
  Oh, going going back to the president being shot down.
• 23:19
  I want to talk about the Travedic report, which was published in 2012.
• 23:25
  It was, it's suggested, I don't want to say reported, I don't want to get in trouble.
• 23:30
  It's suggested that Hutus may have actually shot the president down just so they can start a fight.
• 23:41
  They killed their own allegedly killed
• 23:45
  their own president just so they can
• 23:48
  start the fight that's wild
• 23:51
  bro it's so wild i said the whole thing could have been avoided it's all just
• 23:56
  i don't want to say it's a lie but it could be based on a lie whole plane full
• 24:01
  of people because everyone died on that plane yep yep all right bro let's uh
• 24:07
  let's let's let's transition into some current events.
• 24:11
  Let's lighten this thing up, if we can.
• 24:14
  That was pretty heavy, bro.
• 24:16
  Yeah, let's try and lighten this thing up real quick. You got a current event?
• 24:20
  You want me to go? Yeah, you go ahead.
• 24:23
  I don't know how light this is going to be.
• 24:28
  I want to talk about midterms. With the midterms approaching in November.
• 24:36
  We're going to start seeing a lot of political advertisements,
• 24:42
  a lot of candidates running for office, a lot of guys that we've probably never heard of.
• 24:51
  I want you guys to keep this in mind.
• 24:54
  This isn't a party thing, whether you're a D or you're an R,
• 25:01
  it doesn't matter. I want you to keep this in mind when you see these political ads.
• 25:07
  Two things, actually. If someone is only telling you what they're against and
• 25:15
  they're never telling you what they're for,
• 25:18
  they are not the candidate that you need to vote for. OK.
• 25:24
  Real simple. I want you guys to keep that in mind.
• 25:27
  The other thing I want you guys to keep in mind is this. And this is partisan.
• 25:33
  If you see Republicans who say I will do whatever Trump wants,
• 25:40
  that's absolutely not the candidate to vote for, because I want a candidate
• 25:47
  to tell me, what are your ideas?
• 25:50
  What are you going to do? I don't want a Trump stooge.
• 25:54
  So if that's all someone is running on is that I'm a Trump stooge and I'll do
• 25:59
  whatever Trump wants and Trump supports me,
• 26:01
  I support Trump's agenda That's not the guy You don't deserve a vote for that
• 26:06
  because you're not telling me anything that you're to make this local,
• 26:10
  Trump has no effect in Indiana.
• 26:14
  So if you're basing your strategy on what Trump would do for Indiana,
• 26:20
  you absolutely will not get my support.
• 26:24
  Do better. Come with a message. Come with a plan.
• 26:29
  Lay it out. That's my current event, bro.
• 26:33
  All right. So mine is definitely not going to be like.
• 26:37
  So on a couple of days on the 17th, which was what yesterday? day.
• 26:42
  So I'm going to talk about the story before I talk about the video.
• 26:46
  You and I just talked about it.
• 26:49
  I know. So in Chicago last year, June 2025, to be exact,
• 26:57
  two police officers, Crystal Rivera and her partner, Carlos Baker, were chasing a suspect.
• 27:04
  Still don't know what he was being chase for whatever they go up the first flight
• 27:09
  of steps and they get to the landing and they turn.
• 27:13
  So Rivera hangs back. He kicks in the door.
• 27:18
  As he kicks in the door, there's somebody flying over the couch.
• 27:22
  And as I was telling you on the steel frame, you could see somebody raising the gun.
• 27:27
  Person raising the gun never fires. It's not it's not me assuming.
• 27:33
  It's what the CPD is saying. Never fired. He sees the gun on body cam,
• 27:40
  turns 180 degrees, shoots her, retreats up to the second flight.
• 27:47
  I'm sorry, almost to the third floor.
• 27:50
  And he's he's screaming dispatch, you know, send everybody, send SWAT,
• 27:56
  send a bus, send everybody that's available.
• 27:59
  My partner's been shot. apartment door is still open still open he comes down
• 28:08
  the steps walks by an open apartment door.
• 28:13
  Drags her and it's graphic now
• 28:16
  her face and her chest are blurred out but he's basically
• 28:20
  dragging his dead partner down a whole flight of steps that took 90 seconds
• 28:27
  for him to get to her here's the crazy part They are rumored to have had a romantic
• 28:33
  relationship that she ended briefly before her death. Oh, wow.
• 28:38
  Yeah, I didn't tell you that part. No, you didn't. I was saving that part.
• 28:41
  So her family has filed a lawsuit claiming that he did it intentionally because he was pissed off.
• 28:49
  Videos everywhere.
• 28:51
  Saying this, I'm like you said, I don't want to get in trouble.
• 28:55
  Well, I got eyes. I can see he turned and shot her.
• 29:00
  Give me those names again, bro. I got to look this up. So Crystal Rivera and Carlos Baker. Okay.
• 29:06
  All you got to do is look up Chicago body cam video. Okay. It'll pull up.
• 29:11
  But his attorney says it was a tragic accident where when he saw somebody, raising up to fire a gun.
• 29:20
  He lost his balance and shot. Okay, let's just say you did.
• 29:25
  We have body cam footage. We see where you're facing.
• 29:29
  So if you walk back as a cop, you know your surroundings. You're not going to go straight back.
• 29:35
  You're going to curve. So you're telling me you went to the left and shot over your shoulder?
• 29:42
  Let me ask this. You say he went back and got her after she was wounded.
• 29:49
  Were any additional shots ever fired? No.
• 29:52
  One shot. So one shot. This whole incident is one shot. Suspects never fired a girl.
• 29:59
  How can he claim that he was in danger or either of them?
• 30:03
  Shots fired, shots fired. And you can hear it. Like he's, now he sounds like he's distressed.
• 30:09
  I'm not going to sit here and act like he was just like, yeah, somebody got shot.
• 30:12
  He sounded like he was distressed, but I'm sure the adrenaline was rushing and
• 30:15
  he was terrified. but 90 seconds for you to even attempt to,
• 30:22
  Get back down off of those steps. But if the threat was imminent.
• 30:28
  Wouldn't they have just been busting at him when he went to recover her body? Or even her.
• 30:33
  If they were really trying to injure the arms, they would have shot her a couple
• 30:36
  of more times to make sure she was dead.
• 30:38
  Oh, wow. They never fired another shot. Oh, wow.
• 30:42
  This is interesting. Yeah, I definitely got to do more digging into this.
• 30:46
  Yeah, they released that yesterday.
• 30:48
  The video. Okay. Okay. Yeah, yeah, that's that's crazy.
• 30:53
  Now, obviously, I mean, it's it's it's alleged that they had a romantic relationship.
• 31:00
  Sure, sure, sure. That that part I'm not concerned with. Yeah.
• 31:03
  The whole shooting incident.
• 31:05
  But he lost his police powers after this. He's basically on desk duty.
• 31:09
  But apparently he's had several incidents previously. And people within the
• 31:13
  department said that he was unfit for service.
• 31:15
  Yeah. Still out driving around. And yeah, in any event, he should not be allowed to be a cop.
• 31:21
  Even if he doesn't get jail time, he shouldn't be allowed to be a cop anymore.
• 31:26
  And that's just not in the city of Chicago.
• 31:29
  That's everywhere. And this is this is what would really aggravate me when Biden
• 31:35
  was trying to introduce that bad cop registry and Republicans voted it down
• 31:41
  and they were so just so much vitriol towards that piece of legislation.
• 31:47
  It's like, no, this is exactly why this type of legislation is needed and,
• 31:53
  in my opinion, is required.
• 31:55
  Think about this. Why would you ever oppose this?
• 32:00
  Politician the only reason you would ever oppose something
• 32:03
  like that because you lose support of the fraternal order for sure
• 32:05
  for sure where you live for sure that's it
• 32:08
  which tells me that you're not fit to be a politician you're not fit to serve
• 32:11
  your community because to me you don't care about the people because to me personally
• 32:16
  that should be a bipartisan issue like correct yeah absolutely we don't want
• 32:20
  bad cops on our streets correct because what what happens even if this guy is fired from Chicago,
• 32:27
  he just moved to another state and become a cop.
• 32:30
  And bro, you know how much I listen to true crime stuff.
• 32:33
  You know how many stories I've heard of this cop did this in this town and then
• 32:38
  went to that town, then that town. It's like three or four different times.
• 32:42
  The cop that killed Tamir Rice had been fired from another precinct,
• 32:47
  came over there to Cleveland, killed Tamir Rice.
• 32:50
  Which is wild because that cop was young.
• 32:53
  Yeah. These cops are getting fired two and three times before they're 30. Correct.
• 32:57
  Correct. Which is exactly why that bad cop registry is so needed.
• 33:02
  It's so needed. But hell, if I'm a chief, I don't want to hire your ass if you
• 33:07
  just got fired for shooting somebody. Nah, take your ass.
• 33:10
  Find a different career. And that's another thing. But no one's checking, bro.
• 33:14
  These people act like when they become cops that they're devoid of being anything.
• 33:20
  Whereas you and I have changed careers, what, two and three times?
• 33:24
  A cop. I don't know what else to be. I don't know. Go get a job at a retail store.
• 33:28
  Because it's the power and the prestige that comes along with it.
• 33:32
  And the fact that some of these guys just want that and they just want to kill somebody, bro.
• 33:38
  A lot of these guys are just power addicts.
• 33:41
  They like the power that comes with the badge and the uniform and they want
• 33:46
  to inflict pain on other people.
• 33:50
  Which, again, should disqualify you from being a cop.
• 33:54
  If that's your mental outlook on the position is you want to just have power,
• 34:01
  you want to have authority over citizens who pays your salary,
• 34:05
  then you are not worthy to wear the badge.
• 34:08
  You're supposed to be a servant.
• 34:11
  Community, not an oppressor to the community, which a lot of these guys like
• 34:18
  the oppressor part, not the servant part.
• 34:21
  Why do I have to do that? Because I said so. Nah, that ain't how it worked,
• 34:24
  bro. That part right there. Just because you said so is not a law. That part, exactly.
• 34:28
  And another thing too is that you are a law enforcement officer. Correct.
• 34:34
  You are not the law. Correct.
• 34:37
  You enforce the law. Correct.
• 34:40
  And keep in mind, I'm not void of understanding where you're asking somebody
• 34:46
  to do something if you're a cop and they basically telling you, you know, whatever.
• 34:51
  But depends on the I hate to say this, but depends on the color of your skin.
• 34:55
  Well, yeah, that too. Yeah.
• 34:57
  No, if your skin a certain color, you can tell them, hey, piss off.
• 35:01
  Hey, we saw that video a few years ago of a guy ramming a cop car and then getting
• 35:06
  out and the cop pulled the taser and they still didn't taste the dude. Yeah.
• 35:11
  It was in Arizona somewhere. Still didn't taste. Man, there's videos like that
• 35:15
  all over the place, bro. Were you finished with that, man?
• 35:18
  All right, y'all. Let's transition into our rarts, our rant about a random topic.
• 35:26
  First, I want to say, and I didn't discover this on my own I actually was listening
• 35:34
  to Native Land podcast And they mentioned this,
• 35:37
  so I'm just going to piggyback on them I did come home and look it up because
• 35:40
  I wanted to verify that it was actually true But there's an elder named Charles
• 35:46
  Johnson He is 104 years old.
• 35:53
  This week, he competed in a archery contest in Las Vegas.
• 36:00
  Let me say that again. He's 104 years old and he competed in an archery contest in Las Vegas.
• 36:13
  At 104, he has
• 36:16
  the mental cognition and the
• 36:20
  physical strength because you know that bow is hard
• 36:23
  to pull back it it needs that tension
• 36:26
  for your arrow to travel archery is difficult in
• 36:29
  general he has the physical strength
• 36:32
  and the mental ability at 104
• 36:36
  to travel and to
• 36:39
  compete in a national archery competition
• 36:43
  god is good bro I mean
• 36:46
  it's crazy at 104 that's life goals life
• 36:50
  goals you know what I'm saying that brother's blessed
• 36:53
  the other word and and
• 36:56
  and this is my alley-oop to you the other
• 37:00
  word I want to talk about is this this beef between Cameron and Jey Uso if you
• 37:11
  haven't seen it people go look it up Jey Uso was a guest on Cam'ron and Mace's podcast,
• 37:18
  and there's some back and forth between Cam'ron and Jey.
• 37:23
  It gets physical.
• 37:26
  Jey snatches up Cam'ron like he's a rag doll.
• 37:30
  It appears that he throws a punch.
• 37:33
  You, brother, is it real? Is it fake? What's going on? Nah, man, it's a work.
• 37:39
  It wouldn't surprise me if Cameron was in the crowd, handed him a chair or something
• 37:44
  tonight, or jumped in the ring to disrupt, because tonight is night one of WrestleMania.
• 37:50
  So it wouldn't surprise me. The thing is with that, too, remember, J.
• 37:55
  Cole, because he had some stuff said about J. Cole years ago, and J.
• 37:58
  Cole popped into the studio randomly a couple weeks ago, and And they did this
• 38:02
  whole skit and it made it look like J. Cole was pissed at him.
• 38:06
  And then Thanasis chased him around the studio. Did you ever see that one?
• 38:10
  You got to look that one up.
• 38:12
  He in there like doing a video and Thanasis stepped in. He was like,
• 38:15
  hey, hold on, man. He was like, what did you say about me?
• 38:18
  And Thanasis like chasing him around and like picked him up.
• 38:21
  So this is just something that Cam does there? Yeah.
• 38:25
  Yeah, it's something. This is like the third or fourth time something like this
• 38:28
  has happened. I guess I get it to bring traffic, but for WrestleMania,
• 38:34
  too, because Jey Uso's been everywhere.
• 38:38
  Seeing Punk has made some rounds. Hell, they took over a local ESPN radio here.
• 38:44
  It's been Booker T. Booker T been on local radio all day. Really?
• 38:49
  Yeah. Talking about WrestleMania. Okay.
• 38:52
  All right. So you say definitely stage. Yeah. Definitely just a marketing ploy to get.
• 38:57
  Okay. All right. All right. Cool. Yeah, because, I mean, at the end of the day, Cam rounds what?
• 39:03
  5'9", probably 180 pounds. I say Cam probably about 6.
• 39:08
  You know, Jey Uso, 6'2", 240, strong as an ox.
• 39:13
  Oh, he snatched him up out of the seat like he was a ragdoll.
• 39:16
  Like Cam did old boy in Bait and Fools. Yeah. When he snatched him out of that car.
• 39:20
  Yeah, he snatched him up pretty easily.
• 39:23
  Okay. All right. Cool. All right. So that was just a marketing ploy.
• 39:26
  All right, that's my rart, bro.
• 39:28
  All right, so my rart is a rart, but it's more or less informative. Nah, it's a rart. Yeah.
• 39:35
  Now, what's up with this Iron Nation, Indiana?
• 39:39
  So we just give a 15 million dollars of taxpayer money. Now, look, I get it.
• 39:45
  Israeli technology is considered some of the best in the world.
• 39:48
  Has been since we were kids. It's like the third, like number three in the world
• 39:54
  for their innovative technology. you.
• 39:56
  For me, it's the optics.
• 40:00
  You have a country that is heavily scrutinized currently for human rights conditions.
• 40:08
  I could sit and talk about that all day. Here's my issue. It goes back to what
• 40:12
  you said a minute ago. This is just to stay on Trump's good side.
• 40:17
  Without a doubt. Nothing more. Mike Brown is the ultimate puppet.
• 40:22
  $15 million of taxpayer money, by the way. of money from the 21st Century Research Fund.
• 40:29
  Now, when I first heard that, I ain't going to lie, the first thing that comes
• 40:32
  to my mind is 21st Century Scholars. That's what I was, yeah.
• 40:36
  Man, I got mad as hell. And then I was like, hold on, let me make sure I'm not mad.
• 40:40
  And I was like, oh, okay, two different things. What about the kids? Right, right.
• 40:46
  And $30 million plus is committed by the Iron Nation Partnership. Mm-hmm.
• 40:52
  That was Iron Nation Partnership. Mm-hmm.
• 40:55
  Where's this private money coming from? Which is going to be the majority of Israel.
• 41:00
  Yeah, of course. So we give you money. You give it back to us to invest.
• 41:07
  There's been, I understand this is a long-term thing. I understand that they're
• 41:11
  looking to bring businesses here.
• 41:12
  And look, if it works, it works.
• 41:16
  But again, it's not being done for the right reasons. You're doing it to stay on Trump's good side.
• 41:23
  There's...
• 41:25
  Is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. There is no guarantee that it's going
• 41:31
  to be prosperous or profitable. Bring jobs.
• 41:34
  There is no guarantee that it's going to bring jobs.
• 41:38
  And at the same time, while you're out here campaigning that this is going to bring jobs,
• 41:45
  you just passed legislation a few weeks ago with the CDL drivers that's taking
• 41:52
  away jobs. Which is it, bro?
• 41:55
  Do you want immigrants to work or do you not want immigrants to work?
• 41:59
  Because you can't tell me that these jobs are only going to be for Hoosiers.
• 42:05
  I'm not that gullible. So I saw something where it says the partnership was
• 42:11
  to create a broader network that connects Indiana's professional communities
• 42:17
  with international entrepreneurs,
• 42:19
  fostering a more globalized local economy. international, huh?
• 42:24
  So now they're international, so there wouldn't be immigrants? Right.
• 42:28
  None of it makes sense. And like you said, this is all to curry favor.
• 42:32
  And I've seen Republicans, Black folk, white folk, everybody like,
• 42:37
  who the hell asked for this? Right. Nobody asked for this. Right.
• 42:41
  How about you fix our damn roads? Listen, man. Right. No, no,
• 42:45
  that's facts. Our roads have to be the worst in this country.
• 42:48
  They do. They have to be.
• 42:51
  Grew up near chicago we we grew up driving on chicago roads that were horrible
• 42:56
  and you know if you tear up your car when you hit a big pothole they don't pay
• 43:00
  you for that i had to get a tire replaced the other day and and what you're
• 43:05
  gonna do who you're gonna complain to about it right right i'm gonna call the
• 43:08
  mayor's office oh go ahead yeah you're getting nowhere.
• 43:12
  If you even get someone on the phone look what was the last time we even seen
• 43:15
  joe hogson yeah Yeah, it's nuts, man He just needs to go,
• 43:23
  bro I mean, he just needs to go It's just that simple But,
• 43:29
  on a different note To keep this local I did see where a judge told them That
• 43:35
  their ban on college IDs Oh,
• 43:37
  yeah, yeah, yeah For voting Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah You can use your college
• 43:43
  ID to vote Because it's unconstitutional,
• 43:47
  and just voter suppression for them to say that their college ID is not valid.
• 43:51
  So those college IDs are verified.
• 43:55
  They don't just hand them shits to any and everybody. You have to show ID everything
• 44:00
  in order to get those. So why wouldn't it be valid? Yeah.
• 44:03
  No, no, no. That's the question. Why wouldn't it be? Well, we know why. Yeah.
• 44:08
  Because why wouldn't, why the hell wouldn't you want a student to exercise their right to vote?
• 44:13
  Voter suppression. Just make it harder. Make it harder for people to vote because
• 44:18
  that's the only way that they win is low voter turnout.
• 44:23
  It's the only way that they win, right? The more people participate,
• 44:27
  the less chance they have of actually getting voted in the office.
• 44:30
  So they're all about the voter suppression.
• 44:33
  They always say that Trump won by a landslide and this is what the majority
• 44:40
  of Americans voted for, and there was a mandate to do this, that, and the other.
• 44:44
  You know, only like a third of the country voted.
• 44:48
  No, you don't have a mandate. Yeah, a lot of people stay at home.
• 44:51
  Yeah, a lot of people stayed home.
• 44:53
  So, yeah, the whole thing is just a lie, but that's what they want.
• 44:59
  They want the low turnout because it heightens their chances.
• 45:05
  Just another dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty ploy in the game,
• 45:12
  you know, a dirty, dirty trick that they use, you know, and then they try and
• 45:15
  pass it off as we got a mandate, this is what America wants,
• 45:19
  etc., etc., just foolishness.
• 45:21
  If everything was done the way it should be and voter turnout, well, let's just say.
• 45:29
  Voter Day, Voting Day was national holiday. Which it should be. Which it should be.
• 45:33
  And everybody gets a chance to vote. They lose 100% of the time. Correct.
• 45:38
  And they know this. Get rid of the electoral college?
• 45:41
  Who was the last president to win the popular vote that wasn't the Democrat?
• 45:45
  Bush. And that was only because 9-11. Well, you know, this clown won it this time. Oh, yeah.
• 45:51
  Allegedly won it this time. But yeah, he wouldn't have beat Hillary. Yeah.
• 45:56
  Smoked him by like, what, $3 million on the popular vote? smoked them.
• 46:00
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They should have been, and that's something we could
• 46:04
  probably look into on a future podcast, but yeah, the Electoral College should be null and void.
• 46:10
  It's outdated. It is completely outdated. Shit, like a lot of stuff we do in this country. No doubt.
• 46:16
  No doubt. All right, y'all, I guess we're going to leave that right there for
• 46:21
  now, and we're going to slide right into our Five on the Blackhand Side movie review.
• 46:27
  Which correlates directly with what our main topic was and that movie is Hotel,
• 46:33
  Rwanda. Go ahead, my brother.
• 46:35
  Alright, so Hotel Rwanda came out originally December 2004.
• 46:43
  The reason they released it in December was to qualify for the award season that was coming up.
• 46:49
  But the actual nationwide release was in February 2005 and that was about maybe
• 46:55
  10 years after the genocide itself.
• 46:58
  It was directed by Terry George, and he also co-wrote the screenplay.
• 47:03
  The budget, which I didn't realize, this was an independent movie. I can believe it.
• 47:10
  So $17.5 million was the budget.
• 47:15
  Filming locations was actually in Kigali, Rwanda, and Johannesburg, South Africa.
• 47:22
  Don Cheadle who played Paul Rusesabagina Man, hold up How much did you practice that?
• 47:32
  I just watched the movie again I heard him say it like 37 times during the movie,
• 47:41
  That was good though He was the real life Hutu manager of the Hotel de Micolinas His wife,
• 47:53
  Sophie Okonedo,
• 47:55
  her name was Tatiana Rusesabagina.
• 47:59
  Nick Nolte, who played Colonel Oliver.
• 48:02
  Joaquin Phoenix, which completely forgot. I don't know how I forgot.
• 48:06
  He played a fictional photojournalist named Jack Dacklish.
• 48:13
  Those are the main characters of the movie.
• 48:16
  So box office, 36 and a half million worldwide. So it doubled its production
• 48:21
  budget budget. It won three.
• 48:24
  Well, it secured three Oscar nominations.
• 48:26
  Best Actor for Cheadle, Best Supporting Actress for Okanato and Best Original Screenplay.
• 48:34
  Critics, they liked it, but they compared it to Schindler's List. Rightfully so. Yeah.
• 48:41
  They compared it to Schindler's List, which, yeah, you're right.
• 48:46
  No, okay, so first of all, you're right. It was a great cast.
• 48:52
  It was a hard watch. To watch this much senseless violence, this movie is truly just sad.
• 49:03
  If Schindler's List is required viewing, then so is Hotel Rwanda.
• 49:11
  It's required.
• 49:14
  There is no one A, one B. No, they're neck and neck. They're right there. They have to be.
• 49:21
  Because to me, they're the same.
• 49:24
  We were just talking about Europe was saying the reason they didn't want to
• 49:27
  say slavery was the biggest crime because they didn't want to compare atrocities.
• 49:32
  Then let's not compare atrocities here yeah whole terrible Wanda on the same
• 49:39
  level as Schindler's list I don't know how Don Cheadle didn't win best actor for this I just don't,
• 49:51
  I'm still trying to figure that one out like how to.
• 49:55
  Oh man I don't brother I don't know man movies like this I just hate to watch.
• 50:01
  I ain't even gonna lie about it. I hate to watch these type of movies, man.
• 50:05
  I think Schindler's List, didn't we, maybe I'm imagining this,
• 50:10
  didn't we watch that in school?
• 50:12
  I think we might have, bro. I'm pretty sure we watched it in school. That was it.
• 50:17
  That's all I needed. After that, I was like, oh no, I don't want to watch this
• 50:20
  again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for real.
• 50:23
  The movie, not to get off track, but another movie, The Kid in the Red Pajamas.
• 50:28
  I've never watched it. I've heard about it. dough.
• 50:31
  I watched that in my thirties. I cried like a baby. Cause I'm like,
• 50:35
  this, this is crazy that this happened.
• 50:38
  Another thing too, I don't know if it was done on purpose, but this,
• 50:41
  this movie was released during the crisis in Darfur.
• 50:46
  And a lot of activists were basically telling people, watch the movie,
• 50:50
  pay attention. It's happening again right now.
• 50:54
  Don't let it, you know, don't let it happen again. And of course we didn't do
• 50:57
  nothing about that either.
• 50:59
  That, yeah, that, you know, So it's, even though this isn't relevant to Hoterra
• 51:07
  will wind us, so to speak,
• 51:09
  but it's crazy to me how they just go and let entire villages get murdered because
• 51:16
  you need to convert to Islam. Oh, yeah.
• 51:20
  That's crazy to me. And no one does anything.
• 51:24
  Remember I spoke about way back when we first started.
• 51:27
  Mm-hmm. The Devil Came on Horseback about the Janja Weed going to kill us to
• 51:31
  village, burning it down, raping and killing women and children.
• 51:36
  Convert to our religion or you die. Yeah. What?
• 51:40
  Just go ahead and kill me. I mean, like, it's nuts, but yeah,
• 51:45
  the fact that we sit back and we allow all of this senseless death to occur
• 51:52
  and never do anything about it.
• 51:55
  And yet we want to get on the world stage and try and be the moral police.
• 52:00
  Oh, yeah. It is, it, it, oh, man, it just makes me so frustrated,
• 52:06
  bro. It, it, it really does.
• 52:08
  It, it, it is, it's like, on one hand, you can go America first. It's not our fight.
• 52:17
  Okay, yeah, I get it. But then don't get involved in any of the conflicts then.
• 52:23
  It's good for one, it's good for all. Just be consistent.
• 52:27
  That's all I ask. That's all I ask of the world is to be consistent with it.
• 52:34
  Don't turn a blind eye to what's happening on the continent and pretend like
• 52:38
  it's not happening or just say, that's just them. Yeah, I'd rather you be honest. Yeah.
• 52:45
  Yeah. Either enforce it or don't enforce it and let it happen everywhere else
• 52:49
  Because it doesn't just happen in Africa,
• 52:52
  but but that's how they love to try and paint the picture or tell the narrative
• 52:57
  is that it only happens in Africa because that way they can use the savage trope.
• 53:03
  Knock it off. Please stop it. So recently I saw pictures on video and pictures
• 53:09
  on the Internet of basically the same shit we saw growing up,
• 53:13
  like feed a child and flies and all that dumb shit.
• 53:17
  I was looking at that going, this is what y'all showing?
• 53:22
  With everything going on in the world, this is what you're showing. Right. Right.
• 53:26
  Now, I'm not saying that the message,
• 53:27
  yeah, we, you know, they need humanitarian aid. I understand that.
• 53:32
  But this is what we're doing? Well, they had humanitarian aid until Elon Dickhead,
• 53:37
  I mean, Elon Musk, hired his Doge Dickheads.
• 53:42
  Those kids, because that's basically what they were, high school kids. To end USAID.
• 53:48
  Which got overturned. And I don't even know if the money's been.
• 53:52
  But still, all the food that went to waste, because it was warehouses full of
• 53:59
  food that they couldn't ship.
• 54:01
  And they just let all that food go waste. Yep.
• 54:05
  And you talk about waste, fraud, and abuse. You are the waste.
• 54:09
  You are the fraud. You are the abuse.
• 54:13
  Anyway, bro, let's get back to Hotel Rwanda.
• 54:18
  So I want to talk about a few scenes.
• 54:21
  For me is the foggy river road when they
• 54:26
  didn't understand what was happening and the road was foggy
• 54:29
  and then they realized that there were thousands of dead
• 54:31
  bodies that they were driving over now did
• 54:35
  that really happen i don't know right but it it makes you like you sit there
• 54:40
  and go are you serious all these dead people yeah because he got out the car
• 54:44
  and fell over yeah people yeah So that scene was difficult because they thought they were potholes.
• 54:52
  It was actually people that they were running over.
• 54:57
  The most terrifying, horrifying scene or scenes to me is when they were hiding
• 55:04
  in the cabinets and stuff.
• 55:07
  I'm just like, gosh, man. For me, it's the rooftop, too. That part also, man.
• 55:15
  I i i can't even imagine what what that fear is like i i mean like don't breathe yeah,
• 55:26
  hear you, you're dead. And nobody's shooting you. No. They're gonna hack you to death. Yeah. Yeah.
• 55:33
  Yeah. I mean, I'm sure some people were shot, but they were,
• 55:37
  like, literally walking around
• 55:38
  just hatcheting people and beating them to death with billy clubs. Yeah.
• 55:42
  Yeah, a brutal death. Not that any death is good. Right. But a brutal death.
• 55:48
  Yeah. And didn't, according to the movie, didn't the help come? Mm-hmm.
• 55:56
  Nothing to see here leave and then
• 55:59
  had to come back and it's like what what's wrong with
• 56:02
  y'all so the french troops and the belgian troops they eventually showed up
• 56:07
  you in forces but they were just there to evacuate uh tourists and and yeah
• 56:12
  people from western media yeah nothing to see here they they could have squashed
• 56:16
  it the first time they basically didn't believe them nope.
• 56:22
  Nuts nuts until i gotta
• 56:25
  make that phone call to the belgium to you know the guy
• 56:28
  that my boy i forget his name yeah leon
• 56:32
  from the professional yeah yeah you know he came through remember he went out
• 56:37
  there who did you call yeah and he asked him what his name was he's i'm gonna
• 56:41
  remember that it is that savior it is the white savior but in this instance god damn i'm glad Oh yeah.
• 56:52
  It could have been so much worse Even though it was terrible It could have been worse.
• 57:00
  Amazes me is, as you said, the French set up a safe zone. So you know what was going on.
• 57:07
  That's why I couldn't be a soldier. I'm not about to sit here and watch this.
• 57:11
  Right, right. And as a UN peacekeeper, you think I'm about to sit here and watch this? Right.
• 57:16
  Right. You might as well just court-martial me now or do whatever it is that
• 57:20
  you need to do. Yeah, because I'm shooting.
• 57:22
  Right. Come in this hotel if you want to. Yeah. I'm shooting. Yeah.
• 57:29
  I guess it's time we go ahead and rate this thing bro so as
• 57:33
  a movie i thought it was perfect as a
• 57:36
  movie so i'm doing 4.75
• 57:41
  i'm i'm doing five bro i'm doing
• 57:44
  five as a movie i'm doing five because
• 57:48
  like i said if if schindler's list is required
• 57:51
  viewing if schindler's list gets five
• 57:54
  then this gets five it
• 57:57
  is right there on the level with schindler's
• 58:00
  list in my opinion and there is absolutely no
• 58:04
  way don cheeto should not have won i know i said that i don't want to keep saying
• 58:08
  it who won that year 94 is that like forrest gump year i don't know because
• 58:15
  tom hanks had like two or three movies come out that year yeah that was really
• 58:20
  really good yeah let's let's Gosh,
• 58:23
  I hate to research things while we're recording, y'all, but I must know.
• 58:28
  I have to know who won Best Actor in 19... Was it 1994 or 1995?
• 58:34
  It would have been 95 because... Okay.
• 58:37
  Yeah, because as I said, it came out in December of 94.
• 58:41
  Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump. I was right.
• 58:46
  Forrest Gump. Great movie. Yeah, me too. But come on, man.
• 58:52
  Come on, man. Yeah, I love that movie.
• 58:56
  But yeah, I think he went up against some heavyweights that year in general.
• 59:01
  I think that whole thing was stacked.
• 59:04
  But usually something like this over a fictional story, the historical story
• 59:11
  usually gets the upper hand.
• 59:13
  You know, even though you say your boy had his own
• 59:16
  issues the the character that oh yeah trade
• 59:19
  yeah but but but still when you when you do
• 59:22
  something that's of historical significance you usually get a little bit of
• 59:26
  an edge over a fictional story yeah because the the issue is the you're you're
• 59:32
  judging somebody based on their role in the movie not the real life person correct
• 59:36
  because at that time the character he was playing.
• 59:41
  Was not convicted of any crime or accused of any crime.
• 59:45
  So, yeah. And let's keep in mind, Don Cheetah was not an African. No.
• 59:52
  You wouldn't have known that watching this movie. No, he did a great job. He did an awesome job.
• 59:57
  You know, I don't know, whatever. Yeah, five. Five for me, bro.
• 1:00:01
  Five, and after this, I'm never watching this movie again.
• 1:00:06
  Ever. Ever. I was about to say, I don't think I had watched it for the last,
• 1:00:12
  it's been a while no I'm done that's it the twins used to watch it all the time
• 1:00:17
  I will never watch this movie again bro I just can't,
• 1:00:22
  it really does like just put a pit in my stomach there's a couple movies like
• 1:00:28
  that I can't Schindler's List.
• 1:00:31
  Never ever ever plan on watching it again yeah and the boy in the red pajama
• 1:00:35
  yeah I still haven't seen that one but I don't even think I want to because
• 1:00:40
  of what you're saying. It's sad.
• 1:00:43
  When a movie ends with you going, wait, what?
• 1:00:47
  No, that didn't just happen. There's no way that just happened.
• 1:00:51
  And it ends with a father's anguish. It's like, oh no. Yeah.
• 1:00:56
  Judas and the Black Messiah, I'm never watching it again. I'm done. Yeah, I love that movie.
• 1:01:01
  I'm never watching it again, bro. The Lovely Bones is another one I can't watch
• 1:01:05
  more. Now, that one I can watch. I've actually watched that one a few times. Thank you.
• 1:01:09
  Annie Tucci was such a creep. Man, just... Gosh, he was a creep in that.
• 1:01:14
  My goodness, he was a creep.
• 1:01:16
  All right, y'all. That's our five on the black hand side. Movie review, Hotel Rwanda.
• 1:01:22
  Get you a tissue box and go watch it if you haven't seen it.
• 1:01:28
  Again, it's Hollywood, so there's probably some things added for dramatic effect.
• 1:01:33
  But if if you're interested in our main topic and you want to see live action,
• 1:01:39
  what the hotel Rwandan, what the Rwandan genocide, not the hotel,
• 1:01:43
  but what the Rwandan genocide was about, go watch Hotel Rwanda and you'll get
• 1:01:48
  a better idea of what we were discussing in our main topic today.
• 1:01:52
  All right. I guess it's time for the closing monologue.
• 1:01:56
  My brother, the floor is yours.
• 1:01:59
  Appreciate it. So today I want to talk about politicians and their duty to the American people.
• 1:02:05
  Now, I understand that politicians have to take certain liberties,
• 1:02:10
  make decisions that we may or may not agree with.
• 1:02:14
  We have sat around in this country for far too long, allowing politicians to
• 1:02:18
  make decisions that they know the majority of their local constituents do not support.
• 1:02:24
  We make it far too hard in this country to put together recall elections.
• 1:02:28
  In fact, on a federal level, there isn't even a system for recall for federal elections.
• 1:02:35
  We are stuck in a system that treats removing a representative like a criminal
• 1:02:41
  trial, relying solely on the impeachment process,
• 1:02:45
  which is designed to be a high bar of high crimes and misdemeanors rather than
• 1:02:50
  a reflection of public dissatisfaction.
• 1:02:53
  It makes no sense that a country supposedly as progressive as ours still uses
• 1:02:57
  such outdated, rigid structures while the rest of the world moves forward.
• 1:03:02
  Look at the modern parliamentary, excuse me, democracies.
• 1:03:06
  They utilize votes of no confidence, a political tool that allows the government
• 1:03:11
  to be held accountable and replaced if they lose support of the people or the legislature.
• 1:03:16
  They have the flexibility to pivot, whereas we are locked in the fixed terms,
• 1:03:21
  waiting years for a chance to correct a mistake, even when the job is not getting done.
• 1:03:26
  I'm encouraging all voters, do your research. Don't just go to the polls,
• 1:03:31
  hit Democrat, hit Republican, hit Independent.
• 1:03:34
  Also, don't stay home, stay at home, and then get online and bitch and complain
• 1:03:38
  about a process that you don't even participate in.
• 1:03:41
  That part. because when you don't do your research and pay attention to the
• 1:03:44
  past, you get exactly what we have now.
• 1:03:49
  All right, y'all. I was going to add to that, but I'm not. That was perfect.
• 1:03:53
  You summed it up. Excellent. I mean, just.
• 1:03:57
  Nothing else. That's going to conclude this episode for the fan podcast. Episode twenty nine.
• 1:04:06
